facilities were built, and easy to trans-P°rt.electricity teas icell within the reach of every community irith a steady source of running water.Dams proliferated throughout the Townships, with communities like ^orth Hatley and ft aterville generating more than enough hydro power for their own needs.Modern technology made turbines and generators more and more efficient.Community self-sufficiency seemed just a step away.Hut the dreams turned sour, the smaller dams fell into disrepair or were absorb'd by th* h.g utilities, and most of the hydro development funds were poured into massive projects like James Hoy and Hnnic-( bâtardes.Is hydro self-reliance on the way back y Harbara I erify Stevenson.Merritt Clifton and Hernard Epps looked into the viability of low-head hydro generation and the answer is a qualified yes.In today's Record, the story of the Deacon Dam is the story o f them all.v vfi Arnold Deacon operated Hydro-Sherbrooke’s dam on the Coati cook River for 40 vears.By H \RB\R \ \ KKITY STK\ ENSON For 40 years Arnold Deacon operated the hydro darn on the Coaticook River near Lennoxville and although he says he was glad when he retired, the memories are good When he finished five years ago his 1h)ss.Jean Bourassa.Jirector of Hydro Sherbrooke, asked if he was sad to leave.I told him.No.it s just like a prison to me The only difference is I wasn't locked in'.” But Deacon’s enjoyment talking about the 76-year old dam and powerhouse and his sadness that they’re not being kept up the way he thinks they should lx* tell of something more “They don’t make buildings like this anymore.” he comments, showing me the stone powerhouse The walls are two feet thick and arched windows line the wall that overlooks the tailrace The window Deacon used to stand in and gaze upriver like a lighthouse keeper looking out to se*a is boarded up because vandals have been shooting holes through it His wife can still picture him looking out the window He’d be there when he was lonely she remembers The operator's house is just a few hundred feet away Deacon and his w ife raised seven children there They bought the house and some land when he retired A favorite joke of his when someone came into the powerhouse and asked what he was doing was to reply “I'm counting the stones here I'm up to 40.000 He didn’t say if he meant the stones the building is made of or the ones outside There are plenty in both places The river is wide here and it rushes over ledges of rock before quietly blending with the Massawippi River Upstream the city of Coaticook also harnesses the river w ith its three dams The Deacon Dam.though officially still open, hasn't been used since May Producing 300 kw.it is only used when Hydro-Sherbrooke needs extra power during peak periods It is the smallest hydro dam still operating in the eastern part of the Townships They’ll let it go another ten years, then they'll decide they want it and they’ll spend a million just to fix it up.Deacon comments He thinks dams like this one should be kept up Even though it only produces 300 kw.that's still 300 kilowatts and power is valuable today And if you have too much, the surplus can always be sold, he says One problem is that the river level is down Now that most forests have been cut off.when there is a heavy rainfall the land can no longer hold the water to gradually feed it back into the river So See HYDRO Page 2 a C, e s ( t< By DON YOUNG Acquisition of Asbestos Corporation has been made the first priority of the Quebec government's new economic policy Despite a turn towards assistance of the private sector in other areas of the economy, the Parti Québécois is going ahead with the corporation’s nationalization Why public control in the production of asbestos0 Why Asbestos Corp.?Is its decision based on a realistic analysis or simply a desire for revenge0 Alfred Penhale's family has been associated with asbestos in the Townships for three generations His grandfather and father built the first mechanized asbestos mill in the world in 1885 at Black Lake and so began the family s involvement Penhale was born in Thetford but educated in Sherbrooke Aftee leaving Sherbrooke High School and working in various jobs * he was even a reporter for The Record for two years Penhale joined Asbestos Corp in 1924 He soon rose from the position of sales manager to that of president and managing director, a position he would hold for over 20 years Before his retirement, he also served as vice-chairman and chairman of the board Penhale is therefore well-qualified to discuss the history and prospects of asbestos and Asbestos Corporation Quebec* is rich in asbestos it possesses 36 per cent of the world's reserves and contributes about one third of the world's supply - 80 per cent of the “free world's” stock It is par ticularly rich in deposits of short fibres where it has few competitors Exports of asbestos amounted to $400 million

said Monday after meeting with three touring Parti Québécois legislature members “If Quebec votes Yes in the referendum, what does that mean for us° And if Quebec votes No.what does that mean0 And what does it mean for Quebec0 “There's one question that is asked In the West there are some who ask wlvd will happen to our community if Quebec separates “And if they don’t separate, is it possible that something worse might happen to us°” Piche made the comments in an interview at the Franco Manitoban Cultural Centre where he and several ither heads of French-language cultural groups had a small, candle lit dinner with PQ members Jean Fran cois Bertrand.Pierre de Bellefeuille and Gerald Godin The dinner was delayed slightly X'cause Godin was busy giving a live elevision interview to

ago when the Mani oba government in 1890 abolished Tench as an official language in the province Godin added “It’s interesting to go round Canada speaking about ssociation and to go around Quebec peaking about sovereignty " Sovereignty is a decision for juebecers to make, he said, but the conomic association between a overeign Quebec and the rest of anada concerns the other provinces.At the private dinner, de Bellefeuille lasted the “lasting power of the ranco Manitoban community” and iche responded with a pledge that Franco Manitobans will ripped tht choice of Quebecers in next spring’s referendum “We spoke frankly to each othe about our dreams for the future.” Piche commented later I’he dinner was a “friendly get together after all, we do have some affinities with French speaking Quebecers.” he said Group pickets meeting WINNIPEG (CP) A group seeking an all French secondary school for Penetanguishene, Ont .captured the spotlight Monday at the opening of a meeting of provincial

added a kicker in endorsing a modified system that in eludes disallow ing the tax on gains attributed to inflation and permitting taxpayers to claim losses against gains realized in the three

front of the dam the Stanstead highway crosses the river Indore heading another five miles in to Lennoxville The seven-foot-wide flume (which looks like a pipe» leads from the tail gate at the dam carrying the rushing water down to turn the turbine beneath the powerhouse Above is the generator which is powered by the turbine to create electricity The water leaves the turbine by the tail race rejoining the Coaticook River further along There is also a surge tower in case electricity suddenly cannot Ik* fed onto the main line The generator must be shut down, so tht* water goes into the tower When Deacon operated the dam there were three eight-hour shifts every day.He would start upthe generator, get the voltage and speed right, and feed the power on to the main line.He’d make sure the oil and bearings were okay and he’d keep the records Once in a while he’d catch 40 w inks but he adds that if anything went w rong he would hear it in the machines and wake up Lightning could set fire to the generator if it struck Deacon would have to pull the switch quickly to cut it off or some of the 144 coils in the generator would be ruined He didn’t lose many over the years, he says.Deacon tells me more about the powerhouse how it was built in 1903 by-men w ho w ere paid eight cents an hour and a stonemason who was paid ten cents an hour And how the owner, William Eustis, came over once and decided to try his hand at building the* stone wall You can still see where he got off line and you can understand why the stonemason threatened to quit unless Eustis did Eustis quit, and the wall recovered its line Eustis had come from Boston to start the copper mine nearby The dam provided its power until 1939 when the mine closed down Having worked five years for Eustis.Deacon then con tinued with Hydro-Sherbrooke which bought the dam Today he tends his large, lush vegetable garden I tell him I’ve always admired it as I pass by on the highway above his property.‘‘It’s good, because I don't have anything else to do.’ he replies.QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec’s common front of public service employees has recommended its 185.000 members hold two 24-hour

production, contrrl by large financial concerns gradually became the rule.From about 1914 on, American manufacturers, the principal market of the asbestos mines, began to buy the mines and mills in an attempt to monopolize production The serious fluctuations, caused in part by their price wars, increased the need for financial integration.By 1951, asbestos production had been almost entirely absorbed by U S.interests.A large British multi-national that controlled the valuable deposits of long fibred asbestos in South Africa also took a piece of the action.Asbestos Corporation and another corporation which it soon absorbed were the only independents.Its precursor.Amalgamated Asbestos Corporation, was controlled by Montreal interests Hugh Allan of Allan Steamship Lines and the financier, E B Greenshields, were among its directors - but it was not successful In 1925, Asbestos Corp.came into being by grouping together eleven different companies and providing a central management.It was financially reorganized in 1932 and, in the following years, according to Penhale.attracted the investment of many prominent Townshippers - J.S.Mitchell and F.N.McCrea among them By 1951 the number had risen to sixteen, encompassing a vast area and most of the valuable deposits.When Asbestos Corporation absorbed Johnson’s, the other independent, it did so with a consideration of 20 per cent of its own shares,” Penhale said “Until this time.Asbestos Corporation had no dominant investors.Later, in an attempt to settle the Johnson estate, these shares were sold The purchaser was General Dynamics.General Dynamics was not content with only 20 per cent and moved to gain a controlling interest.It offered openly to purchase stock from the company's shareholders and.by 1970, had obtained 54 per cent.” Penhale cannot understand why Asbestos Corp.has been singled out by the government for nationalization It is the only company remaining which still has Canadian investors, the rest are totally owned by American multinationals.•Perhaps this is the reason, this reporter suggested.This way they only have to purchase 54 per cent.“But they say they will make the same offer to all the shareholders once they have obtained General Dynamic's interests,” Penhale replied The latest government statement, published in the recent Bâtir le Quebec, suggests that they are aiming at a mix of public and private Quebec investment Asbestos Corp therefore seems an ideal purchase with readymade private investment The offer to purchase shares would, of course, have to be made, if only to reassure private investors Asked if the government's desire to manufacture asbestos products in the province, rather than shipping the material abroad, had bearing on the purchase.Penhale replied: “If that is the case, why invests in mining and not in manufacturing0 The fact is.Penhale continued.Quebec has already invested in secondary industry It has a small plant in Cap-de-la-Madeleine that makes felt backing for linoleum There are also a few private companies in Quebec engaged in manufacturing asbestos felt, paper, wallboard and cement These could be expanded but the entire felt industry absorbs only 1 per cent of the total worldwide production of asbestos Together, felt, paper and wallboard account for only 15 per cent of the market “The major problem which Quebec faces in controlling processing is that 85 per cent of our production is used in the manufacture of cement, and every ALFRED PENHALE .from his boardroom days country in the world has its own cement industry,” he said.“The first thing a developing country does is build a Portland cement plant.” Surprisingly, the most important use for short asbestos fibres is as a bonding material in the manufacture of cement ; its fire-resistant qualities are merely an added bonus Although a necessary ingredient, asbestos comprises only 15 per cent of the finished product It is therefore much more economical to ship the asbestos abroad for processing than to make cement here There is no way a cement industry in Quebec could compete, except locally — a demand which is already being satisfied by local companies.And any attempt to set up a cement export company would prove as much of a white elephant as S.I.D.B E.C., the state's attempt to create a domestic steel industry.“The potential for the development of a domestic asbestos industry is very limited Certainly it could never meet the government’s objective to absorb 20 per cent of the production.” Penhale said “Besides, the purchase of Asbestos Corp.will prove very expensive How-can they expect to nationalize it and build an industry as well0” Penhale concluded, in the end, either the public ( through their taxes ) or the corporation (through syphoned-off profits) would suffer Asked if he agreed that the nationalization of the company is a symbolic gesture on the part of Quebec in light of the 1949 Asbestos strike, Penhale replied “Possibly.But if this is true, why Asbestos Corp 0 At the time, the con flict centred around Johns-Manville All of the violence, with one small exception (when a supervisor was beaten up), took place in Asbestos, not Thetford There was only one provincial policeman on duty there throughout the entire strike ” However, in the realm of politics, it matters little that Johns-Manville led the industrial dispute rather than Asbestos Corporation Asbestos Corp is guilty by its name alone It can easily be associated with the infamous strike, a turning point in Quebec history, which marked the beginning of the labor movement and the French-Canadian renaissance As Penhale pointed out.much more is now made of the strike by the general public than was at the time The acquisition will inevitably give the Parti Québécois much mileage, especially amongst labour and the left Commenting on a new process being developed at the University of Sher brooke for the extraction of metals from asbestos tailings.Penhale said “The extraction of metals from the tailings, magnesium in particular, is not new During the war.with a shor tage of magnesium.Asbestos Corp developed a process for its extraction but the Canadian government chose instead to develop a mill in Renfrew, situated over a deposit “The process was not economical,” he continued “It required huge quantities of electricity I don’t know if they have discovered a new process at Sherbrooke or simply rediscovered an old one But, remember, they will have to compete with Dow Chemicals relatively cheap extraction of magnesium from sea water .’’ The government has already invested $ six million in a pilot plant for the extraction of magnesium from the tailings And.before their eggs have even hatched, they are studying the use of the magnesium to make magnesium metal - another plant will be established shortly toward this end and.according to Bâtir le Queber, it is preparing to buy 50 per cent of a Montreal company manufacturing car brakes < which also use asbestos pads).They believe they can expand production of car brakes to satisfy the North American market But as we have seen many ifs still remain About the future of Asbestos Corp .especially in light of recent concern over air pollution and the carcenogenic effect of asbestos, Penhale said “The future of asbestos is bright I believe that the present concern is exaggerated I’ve been around the mines all my life! Of course, I didn't work in the mills.” He admitted that, formerly, conditions in the mines and mills had been bad but that, recently, the companies had been spending millions to improve conditions, an expensive programme which the government would be forced to continue.It is exaggerations about the dangers of asbestos products to which he really objects.Asbestos fibres imbedded in concrete were probably safer than in the ground The danger with other asbestos products was ad mittedly higher, but most are not produced for mass consumption “The danger of silica dust from our country roads is probably greater,” he said With the market in the developing world constantly growing, the prospects for asbestos production, he believed, were very good - unless, of course.Quebec attempted to monopolize its manufacture Then purchasers might be inclined to look for an alternative The Quebec government shares Penhale’s optimism It believes “the world demand for asbestos will double in the course of the next twenty years and.with the sources of supply outside Quebec limited, Quebec's share of international production, taking account of its known decline, should, according to all evidence, also increase ” If the government’s objective is simply to take advantage of the resulting windfall profits, then acquisition of Asbestos Corp appears to be a rational and sound investment But their political justification is the development of an asbestos industry in Quebec, a project with much less potential The economic and political objectives seem to be in conflict but perhaps the newly-formed Société Nationale de l’Amiante (S.N.A.), “the corporate vehicle for all state investments in the asbestos sector,” will resolve it just as Hydro-Quebec has resolved the question of whether it is ruled by political or economic motives Tomorrow: Wrrritt 1 lifion rinitn the F mm burg Fall* llnm.Harbarn I eril v- .Sfe ten non IpIIm u* about ihr bpginningn of thr drpam find Hrr-nard

government pays such lip service to the tenet that small is beautiful, then allows its juggernaut utility, Hydro-Quebec, to continue to break the hank with mind boggling hydro projects.Time and again, it has been demonstrated that putting one’s faith in a source of energy 600 miles to the north has its drawbacks.Wind, rain, snow ard ice conspire to toss us back into the Ice Age for up to days on end because of Hydro’s blind faith in man’s mastery over nature.When the storm is over and the power finally comes back on, we all forget how hard we cursed — until the next time Isn’t it ironic, how Hydro allowed all these tiny dams to fall into disrepair or obsolescence, then proposes to build what amounts to a super-sized small dam project on the site of Fullerton Pond?How typically North American, to ignore what one has to pursue the dream of something better! We can’t blame Mr Levesque and his Parti Québécois government for having to finish what Mr.Bourassa’s Liberals began in James Bay, but we can draw attention to their inability to exert any controls on Hydro-Quebec’s development policies.And remember — when you’re paying that Hydro bill, more than half of it represents planning that was never done, advice that was never followed and loans that might never have been needed.1 AMES DUFF 30 It is always a tragedy to have to see the ominous -30- put to paper For the uninitiated these numerals put an end to every story, and we are more than saddened to see them close the story of the Yamaska.The weekly served its community for better than 20 years.Editor-publisher J.Noel Paren teau, a close colleague, would often take the bull by the horns and do envy to any toreador in a bullring in Barcelona.On the municipal front his views were vividly expressed, yet he managed to keep a relatively low profile on provincial matters unless he happened to be running for office.Unfortunately too often and under too many different banners in too short a span of time.Federally one cannot question his percipacity he stayed out of it! Noel was a bit of an enigma to his readers, almost the traditional ‘eminence grise’, since he wasn’t around the hallowed halls too often.Even so, his imprint was left on each and every edition — syntax be damned, according to my more learned francophone friends, but the message got through ! A heart twice the size of himself and always the gentleman We had a lovely working relationship and this is why it is sad to see the only weekly in the Brome-Missisquoi area which still carried a modicum of Shakespeare’s tongue bit the dust.It was a matter of spending good money to recover losses he knew were irrecouperable which forced the closure.The move was not one which was considered overnight; it dates back more than a year Parenteau then said he couldn’t let his employees down and struggled on.Receivables have to be recovered, too many were not.Cowansville is much poorer as a result of the demise of the Yamaska and we at The Record can never attempt to fill the void as we are a daily publication It is always hard to say farewell, but we must to all the staff at the Yamaska who have to find positions on the labor market.Andre.Claude, Gilles, Helene, and Noel did their best while they could and gave more than a helping hand to their community.Hopefully the community will

entire East Coast is spread out like a picture book for the prying eyes and earner as of Soviet pilots flying in and out of their Cuban airfields The presence of a few thousand Russian combat troops in Cuba has created such a furor on Capitol Hill that ratification of the laboriously negotiated Strategic Arms lam dation Treaty (SALT II » is endangered But the threat posed by a brigade of hos tile ground forces 90 miles from the l S mainland is nickel and dime stuff compared to the daily Soviet reconnaissance flights, which inform the Kremlin of virtually even move the U S Navy makes in thousands of square miles of vital sea lanes Congress is understandably disturbed at the failure of intelligence officials to level with the lawmakers on the true extent of Soviet military presence in Cuba.We've seen super secret daily intelligence briefings which confirm that the CIA has been aware of frequent military shipments to Cuba for more than four years shipments that would appear to violate America’s two-century old Monroe Doctrine Typical is a report dated July 29.1975.which describes just one of the many ship ments spotted by our intelligence agents “ A Soviet freighter w ith deck cargo of w hat probably are MiG-21 Fishbed aircraft is bound tor Cuba This latest shipment is probably needed to modernize the air force.” The report, ended “SECRET SPOKE." continued “Soviet military deliveries to Cuba in the first seven months of 1975 to taled 8.111 tons including» aircraft-associated crates, truck mounted searchlights, communications vans list'd with the SA 2 missile system, small arms, munitions and an unspecified number of anti aircraft guns ” In light of the revelation that the Russians have lx*en flying spy missions from Cuba, it seems clear that some of the weapons shipments were for use by the Soviets themselves and not for delivery to their puppet.Fidel Castro There is little doubt among l S intelli- gence officials that the Soviet Union is beating us hands-down in the surveillance game Our sometime ally.Turkey, has yielded to Soviet pressure and refused to let American U-2 spy planes fly over Turkey to check on the Russians’ compliance w ith the SALT agreement The Turks say they want the Kremlin’s approval before granting per mission for the oversight flights The Turkish refusal is actuely embarrassing to the United States since the disclos ure that the Soviet Union has been thumbing its nose at the Monroe Doctrine for years The embarrassment is particularly grating now that we know the Russians are having no trouble at all conducting

The most important change to the rules was a recommendation that the requirement that a producer declare his income to be a minimum of Si.000 to qualify for a card be changed There was also a suggestion that the income requirement follow the cost of living index and a charge of 10 per cent for any income increase over $1.000 be added to the regulations Agricultural zoning contained in Bill

concerned There are numerous points contamined in these new laws which are not clearly understood and Houle recommended that producers.municipalities and all concerned citizens start holding information meetings immediately before the laws are applied so as to be better prepared beforehand “The green zoning laws have had a positive effect on the new regulations coming from the environment people It is obvious that an area which is green zoned should not be hassled because of regulations regarding farm odors, manure spreading and such.” he said.The number of delegates from a UPA sector

aids couples WINNIPEG (CP) Married couples are realizing they need a little help from their friends to make their lives complete, says a specialist in family therapy “There are needs that a spouse simply is not able to satisfy, and it is absolutely essential for us to have close relationships with other people as well’’ says Prof Lillian Esses “People more and more are realizing that one cannot expect a single other individual to satisfy all their human needs ” Ms.Esses says about one out of every three marriages is in danger of breakdown Added to that is the high rate of divorce among people who try a second marriage “We re living in a society now where there’s a great deal of stress economically1 on families,” she says And even Winnipeg’s severe climate can make it harder to keep a marriage going HARD TO COPE “It is very difficult even for a family which is pretty well off financially to cope with the problems that emerge from having to be together so much of the time ” Ms Esses will teach the University of Manitoba's first graduate course in family therapy this year.She will be working with psychology and social work students, as well as psychiatric residents at the university medical school and teaching hospitals She says the family-break down crisis has grown over the last 15 or 20 years, and studies have shown about one in 10 married persons feels completely happy and fulfilled “But I think that our measuring instruments leave a great deal to be desired Also, we must look into what people’s ex pectations of happiness really are ” There’s a mythology about marriage which leads to breakdown and sends thousands of people scrambling to seek help.Ms Esses says.Today, people seem to carry the illusion marriages don’t require work to keep them going, whereas in the past couples were more likely to expend the energy needed to deal with marital problems, she says.Living together before marriage can be good, but often it carries an attitude of “having one foot in and one foot out.” POLLY S POINTERS Polly Cramer Honored on 94th birthday WINDSOR Mr Lawrence Wheeler, a resident of the Wales Home in Richmond, was doubly honoured on the occasion of his 94th
