Kevin Harding, guitar and vocal; and Larry Dougherty, guitar.Does Sam ever warble a few notes?\"Only in church,\" he chuckles.But when it comes to playing, Sam is equally at ease with the violin, banjo, concertina and mouth organ.\"I have a great fancy for violins and have had 35 different ones over the years.I kept buying and selling them until I had eight to wind up with.I gave away two to the boys in the orchestra and I still have six violins left which I think is pretty good,\" he said.One of Sam's violins was made in Italy in 1 706.Over the years Sam Hopper, who was born in Wilson's Mills, Megantic County, 70 years ago next February 15, has acquired wide respect in political and educational circles.Before coming to Waterville in 1944, Sam served a six-year stint on the Ascot municipal council.And it wasn't long before the people of Waterville realized Sam's great community spirit.He held the mayor's office for two years, and at present he has two remaining years of active council service.All in all, the lanky and lean, soft-spoken fiddler has chalked up 17 years of service toward municipal affairs.Sitting in his living room just a few days ago Sam glanced fondly at his wife Aveline, a friendly, out-going woman and remarked, \"both the wife and I are interested in the public \u2014 especially young people.\" He was elected to the Waterville School Board in 1947 and later served for seven years on the Compton Waterville Board which came together.Sam will be honored in East Angus today in recognition of his service to Compton County Protestant Central School Your weekend weather Temperatures temporary Spring hasn\u2019t come yet.The present flow of warm, moist air from the south is expected to move through the area today and early Saturday morning.Showers are forecast for this afternon, tonight and continuing early tomorrow.As the system moves out of the area, temperatures will again fall.The showers will turn into flurries as the temperatures drop.Snow is forecast for tomorrow.Sunday temperatures should be back to normal with flurries forecast also.Winds will be light today and tomorrow, 20 mph out of the southwest but tomorrow, with colder temperatures on their way, the winds will be out of the northwest at 20 mph.High today and low tonight expected in the Eastern Townships, 45 and 35.East Angus weather-watchers commented that this predicted high could go much higher and in fact at 10:30 a m.today, East Angus reported a warm 46 degrees.Inside today Births, deaths\t7\tSports\t14 - 15 Townships\tt\tStamps\t11 Books\t11\tTelevision\t12 Classified\t\u2022\tWomen\t« Comics\t9\t- 12\tYouth\t2 Editorials\t4\tTravel\t10 Financial\t1\tFarm\t16 Board.He was on the board 12 years as chairman and two years as commissioner \u2014 until it dissolved last June 30.Despite the years devoted to community affairs, it only takes a few moments of conversation to realize that Sam's first love is music.\", .When I went to a party as a kid I could hear the tunes ringing in my head the next day.I was 1 1 years old when my brother and I got a $5 violin from T.Eaton's.When we got it we went to tune it up but the bridge fell down and broke in two.We glued it together and waited 24 hours before we tried to tune it again, but we couldn't get the bow to make any noise.\" The boys thought the resin was on the bum so little Sam hiked three miles to see a friend who played the violin.\"He just scratched the resin and that was all that was required.It was a year after that I played for the first dance and the tune was Casey Jones.That was 57 years ago.\" Sam said musicians during this period had no help from the radio or television media and the record player had not yet entered the market.He formed his first three - piece orchestra in 1945 with his wife and Norman Masters.One of the most satisfying experiences for Sam is his six to seven years of playing for the Mackay Center Camp for Deaf and Crippled Children in Ayer's Cliff.\"I love to see the smiles that light up the faces of the kids when they do the Virginia Reel in their wheel chairs,'' he said.Sam recently received a plaque from the camp thanking him for the hours of pleasure he has given to the children.The plaque was made by the campers.His eyes crinkle at the corners when he thinks back on some of the lighter moments of his musical career.He remembers the time when one young man stole a lovely young school teacher from the arms of a friend and led her to the altar, Everything went swimmingly until the reception where Sam and the boys had been hired to play.At one point during the evening the fellow suffering from unrequited love decided to call upon a few friends to lick the groom.\"The fella stepped up to me at the end of a set and said we've just started to dance.' Well that sent things off as the groom had signaled that the set was over.Soon the other fellas lit into the groom, his father and five brothers.\"There were 20 men fighting away outside and we were left inside with three little, old ladies,\" Sam guffawed.(See \"Sam Hopper\" on page 16) Language bill up today (Page 3) Thetford operation expands (Page 3) Beavers take first on road (Page 15)

shaft is now underway THETFORD MINES - Asbestos Corporation today announced work had begun on -a' S2.5 million project to sink a 1645-foot exploration shaft into the Penhale Orebody.situated on its Vimy Ridge property, five miles southwest of here.Purpose of the project scheduled for completion by late 1971.is to confirm drill-indicated reserves In addition to the shaft, the exploration project will also entail driving a drift laterally into the Orebody at the 1120 level.Results obtained by diamonddrilling from this drift will enable company officials to determine whether or not to proceed with further development of the Penhale Orebody.Should the decision be favor- able.the exploration shaft and drift would be incorporated in the new underground mine.Cost of developing the mine and bringing it into production is estimated at a further $5.25 million.If developed, the Asbestos corporation underground mine would have a productive capacity of 8.200 tons of ore per day.It would be the largest underground asbestos mine in the world.The new mine would be high-]v mechanized, employing the Boozy issue MONTMAGNY, Que.(CP) -iger Nolin of Charny.Que., lursday was acquitted of a arge

boiled over into the Senate Thursday and caused a brief flurry oi' excitement in the normally unflappable upper chamber.Parliament presented the unusual spectacle of simultaneous discussions going on about the same topic at the same time in its two separate houses.Senator Allister Grosart (PC Ontario) seized the opportunity afforded by Senate debate on a government appropriations bill to get in

February 9, 1897, incorporating the Sherbrooke Gazette (est 1837) and the Sherbrooke Examine' (est 1879 Published Monday to Friday by Progressive Publications Inc 725 C P R Terrace, Sherbrooke, Quebec IVAN SAUNDERS ROBERT STAFFORD Publisher\tSecretary treasurer LEONARD RYAN Editor-in-chief FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1968 Quebec Premiers face unjustifiable burden Eastern Townships residents share a particular regret in the illness of Premier Jean-Jacques Bertrand and will unite in w ishing him a complete recovery from the malady that has compelled him to lay down the burdens of his office for at least a month For more than 20 years the Quebec Premier has represented the Eastern Townships riding of Missis-quoi in the Legislative Assembly and during his period in the halls of parliament at Quebec has won the admiration and respect of all residents of this district for his high principles and the moderation of his views on the critical issues now facing this province.His illness, however, will raise serious questions as to the efficacy of the current administrative procedures at Quebec which seem to place an almost intolerable burden on the Chief Executive.In the past 10 years no less than three Quebec Premiers have died in office as the result of heart attacks attributed to overwork.Perhaps significant is the fact that all three have been leaders of the Union Nationale party.This may be the result of the U.N.tradition which requires that the final responsibility for any decision rest with the Premier which might do much to enhance the external image of the party as a unified force but which places an unjustified burden on the man at the top.To a great extent this may be responsible for the inability of the provincial government to make final decisions in many fields, a condition that was particularly apparent during the extended illness which preceded the death of Premier Daniel Johnson last summer.If.as most people sincerely hope.Premier Bertrand is able to resume his duties early in the New Year, one of his first moves should be to reorganize the party structure to allow for the greater delegation of authority.Our secretary can type \u201cThe quick brown fox, etc.perfectly, but she has so few1 chances to use the ''rase in letters.Rock Islanders win out Apparently, in dealing with governments, it pays to be stubborn, even when you don\u2019t want something.At least the citizens of the border community of Rock Island seem to have won the first round in their war with the federal government over the establishment of a new post office in that municipality.For some time Mayor Lawrence Tilton, the Councillors and other leading citizens have been telling Postmaster General Eric Kierans that they do not want the brand new post office he proposes to erect for them and that they feel everybody would be delighted to have a few thousand dollars spent on modernizing the existing one.But flushed wuth the extra revenues he expects from the postal rate increase, the Postmaster General brushed their pleas aside, announcing the new post office would be built whether they wanted one or not.However.Works Minister Arthur Laing apparently has better use for any money he can lay his hands on and this week announced in the House of Commons that the situation would be reviewed\u2014hinting that if Rock Island did not want a new post office plenty of other places did.So perhaps the citizens of Rock Island will win their point after all.Unfortunately it is doubtful if a similar campaign by the citizens of Canada generally to stop the government levy taxes would achieve such a success.The one time it pays to turn the other cheek is when you're shaving.TODAY in history By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec.13, 1968 .Sir Francis Drake set sail

Richard Jackson is on holiday.Greg Connolley will write the column until Mr.Jackson returns.OTTAWA It was a brilliant evening at Government House with a splendid array of notable Canadians assembled in the gold and grey ballroom Governor General Roland Michener was presiding but perhaps the man getting the most attention was former prime minister Lester Pearson The occasion was his investiture as a companion of the Order of Canada.Here was the man who had instituted the order being invested in it It was a fitting recognition of one who had devoted himself to the service of fils coun- try as a civil servant, diplomat, cabinet minister and finally prime minister He had relinquished the post of prime minister last spring and now as the first snow fell on the capital in late autumn he was being honored in this distinctive Order of Canada On that evening there were other outstanding citizens who were made companions of the order.There were General Jean Allard, chief of the defence force.Donald Gordon, former president of the Canadian National Railways.Arnold Patrick Heeney, Canadian chairman of the Canada-U.S.International Joint Commission.Louis Rasminsky, governor of the Bank of Canada, was made a companion and so was Hector McKinnon, former chairman of the Tariff Board These were all leading citizens whose names fitted well into the rolls of the Order of Canada Yet.on this evening, there was talk around Ottawa that one man was missing \u2014 one man who should have been there alongside L B Pearson The conversational buzz around the capital repeated the question \u2014 why has John Diefenbaker not been made a companion too People noted Ihe honor done Mr.Pearson, a former prime minister They praised this action and yet they wondered why former prime minister Diefenbaker had not been recognized too.SIDE BY SIDE It was ironic that not long after the Government House in- vestiture there were other ceremonies in Parliament Hills Centre Block when the portraits of Mr Pearson and Mr Diefenbaker were unveiled The two men who dominated the parliamentary scene for many years look down from portraits that hang companion-ably close together near the mam entrance under the Peace Tower The treatment in this circumstance made it seem all the more odd that when the Order of Canada was being awarded to Mr.Pearson.Mr Diefenbaker was so conspicuously not recognized.The old Conservative chief didn't comment on this situation but those close to him say he has not been approached by the committee that recommends the appointments to the order.There has to be a reason of course and the one that leaps to the eye is that Mr Diefenbaker cannot be elevated to the Order of Canada as long as he is an active politician and still in the House of Commons Perhaps the thought has been that the Order of Canada should be above the partisan polities of Parliament Hill.Yet many Canadians may not find this explanation a satisfactory one for the failure to honor a former prime minister Mr Diefenbaker, while still active in the Commons, has really the role of an elder statesman in that chamber It grates on some people that Pearson is in and Diefenbaker is out.There are whispers around parliamentary corridors about the old Liberal establishment in Ottawa even having the say-so in the awarding of honors Certainly, many of those who have been made companions of the order are of the establishment Mr Diefenbaker says nothing when asked why he hasn t been made a companion He smiles and shrugs his shoulders as though to indicate that he will survive without this prestige.When he was prime minister he was offered some of Britain's highest honors As a Canadian of humble origin he found no difficulty in turning them down But the highest order his own country can give him has not been offered it 'Vi ill you see the Abyssinian.Jordanian, Siamese.Indonesian.Pakistani delegations now .Perspectives and Prejudices Many people never get past a simple hearsay belief in God Celia, the heroine of Pamela Hansford Johnson\u2019s novel of a few years ago.The Last Resort, unmarried and approaching life's middle years, finds herself caught in a web of distressing circumstances.She fears that her life is coming completely unstuck.For some years she has had a rather idle life with her fussy, whiney mother and her eccentrically selfish father.And she had had a drawn-out.clandestine love affair with a married man whose wife is a hopeless invalid Celia is a sensitive, intelligent woman \u2014 but she finds that her sensitivity and her intelligence cannot carry her through the bewildering maze of problems in which she is caught Celia discusses her plight with her closest woman friend.In this discussion she mentions the place of religious faith in her handling of her crises and troubles.Celia says, sadly: I am only an average religious woman.'believing', I suppose, but not doing anything about it.\u201d There are many Celia's today \u2014 of both sexes \u2014 persons who can honestly say that they have faith in God but who do very little about it.These are the people who have faith sufficient to get them to the startline of the Christian way.but not enough to get them over it.Some people believe in God because they have examined carefully the arguments, pro and con.for the existence of a Supreme Being and have thus come to the conclusion that God exists.If a person already has some sort of belief in God, the philosophical arguments may help clarify and deepen his belief \u2014 but not many people come to faith in God along the road of philosophical speculation.If you believe in God your belief probably began back in your early childhood when someone whom you loved and trusted \u2014 probably your mother \u2014 talked to you about God.For most of us belief in God begins by simple hearsay.But with many of us it never gets beyond that.Hearsay faith can get you only to the start-line of the adventure which is the life of faith Most people begin the life of faith with but little intellectual assurance I do not suggest that REV.J.A.DAVIDSON faith is intellectually irresponsible.but I do say that most of us begin our venture in faith before we are able to satisfy ourselves intellectually about what we are doing.It is not misleading to say that mature faith begins in a gamble, in taking a chance that God is and that God is good and that God cares.There is an element of chance in crossing the start-line of faith's adventure.And its onlv when vou have crossed that line and when you are struggling along faith's road that your belief is verified and your become aware of the insight and strength which faith can give you.It is one of the great practicalities of the life of faith that faith cannot first be proved and then practised but that proof and practice go hand-in-hand.Musical Medley Answer to Previous Puzzle ACROSS 1-\u2019n\u2019 roll 5-tunc 8 Pitch- 12\tMedicinal plant

became premier.Jean-Jacques Bertrand has made public, one on top of the other, two pieces of news of major proportions.First, he created a royal commission to inquire into language, and then he tabled important amendments which the government plans to make to two fundamental laws on education.For years now.people in Quebec have been discussing linguistic questions.Some maintain that the French-speaking group is moving rapidly toward disaster.Others take the opposite point of view and claim it is making progress.But the truth is that each camp speaks from its own particular experience, from its training, its prejudices.and often from political convictions derived from all of this.No one has really made an in-depth study which would justify an accurate diagnosis acceptable to all.The creation of an inquiry body has provided the answer to this problem In recent years there has been vague talk of a royal commission on the rights of the English-speaking minority But the Quebec government has very skilfully placed the accent where it belongs\u2014on the situation and future perspectives of the French language, which is the more beleaguered and the language of the great majority of Quebec residents There is also provision, in the mandate of the commission.for \"protection of the rights of the minority.\u201d and that is essential.But the first object of the commission\u2019s work is to delineate the situation and future of the French language, and who can find fault with that?.We welcome the creation of the inquiry commission and the accent which the government has placed, in the definition of the commission's mandate.on the status enjoyed by the French language in our institutions and actual life.We expect from this commission a loyal examination of all aspects of that reality and a report with conclusions serviceable as a basis for an equitable.stable and effective linguistic policy.Mr.Bertrand's decisions .are.from all appearances, the fruit of a hard-won compromise between opposing schools of thought which had clashed inside the caucus of the government for several weeks.However, we have the impression that this has been an honorable compromise testifying to the regard each school has for the higher good of their people.It only remains for both the proponents of the hard line on language and those advocating a tolerant policy to get into the spirit of receptiveness and co-operation which the royal commission will require of all organizations and individual citizens.Once this inquiry is finished, it will be necessary to come to difficult choices, to decisions which will have a lasting effect on the future\u2014Claude Ryan (Dec.10) PBfiyER FOt TODAY FROM Cbe Upper Rpom What we preach is not ourselves.but Jesus Christ as

to promote the prevention and correction of soil erosion problems: to promote and engage in scientific research, educational programs and action projects.The idea of the formation of an Association interested in pollution stemmed from a general meeting of responsible citizens held in North Hatley in mid-August.Following this, one week later, was another gathering, which resulted in the presentation of an executive and board of directors for an association to deal with pollution problems in the Massawippi Watershed The main idea was that Lake Massawippi might become contaminated in the future, and since the area attracts a large number of tourists enjoying swimming, fishing and boating, clear waters are economically important.The group plans a complete survey of Lake Massawippi and its watershed, and plans on presenting the Quebec Water Board with a comprehensive report once the survey is completed The survey will be supervised by Dr.J.K Lowther.a vice-president of Massawippi Water Protection and their technical advisor Massawippi Water Protection have budgeted $10.000 for their 1969 activities.They hope to receive the co-operaiion of all the municipalities in Stanstead County, as well as their financial support.They are planning an educational program for all school children in early 1969.when a film depicting the death of a river through pollution and solutions to the problem will be shown.To date this association counts 150 members, but wishes to increase this number considerably Any Massawippi area residents who wish to have further information on the plans aimed at correcting the possible spoliation of the area are asked to contact Mr Bruce A.Bishop, North Hatley.BLAIS & MADRO \"Quality Men's Store\" CUSTOM TAILORS 149 Wellington St.North Sherbrooke\u2014Tel.569-7928 Distributor for Famous Bulova Aecutron Watches, Legendary Bluebird Diamonds and Rings, etc.Satisfaction guaranteed.Lowest prices in town.Watchmaker & Jeweller H.A.Brouillette 97 Wellington South Tel.562-8223 DEFINE PLANS \u2014 The ex-ecutive of Massawippi Water Protection Inc., held a meeting earlier this week in North Hatley when the plans of the anti-pollution and pro-con- servation organization were outlined.In the top row.left, is Bruce A.Bishop, chairman of the finance committee, and Dr.J.A.Lowther, vice-chairman and tech- nical advisor.Bottom row, same order: E.M.Detchon, secretary-treasurer and chairman Leo Bedard.(Record photo) December 16.for a medical exam Chauvette is charged with receiving stolen goods, and possession of an offensive weapon dangerous to the public peace.Defence Lawyer Jean Claude Boutin requested the mental examination.and said that this client had had mental relapses for the past 30 years, and always managed to land up before the courts Mr Boutin added that his client's wife was in favor of the examination.Crown Prosecutor Andre Langlais made no objection to the examination.-f + Nil Picard, 23, Sherbrooke, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted breaking and entering, in Sherbrooke earlier thi» month.He was handed a suspended sentence, and o-dered to sign a personal bond of $200 to keep the peace, by Sessions Judge Benoit Turmel.Crown Prosecutor Andre langlais suggested that the accused, having no record, be granted amnesty.Picard's companion Denis Fontaine, 22, Sherbrooke, didn t fare as well before Judge Turmel.Crown Prosecutor Langlais produced Fontaine's record, Fontaine admitted to having pleaded guilty to a charge of car theft in Granby.Judge Turmel asked him what he got as a sentence in that case.Fontaine quipped \u201cI copped one month there.''

asked about the possibility of a question and answer section and whether or not we would be able to give answers by letter.We would be glad to try to answer any questions you may have, and will do so by letter if you enclose a stamped addressed envelope for the reply- This particular reader was asking about the stamps issued by some of the former Arabian States and if he should collect them The collector must make up his own mind as to what he wants to collect.It is highly probable that some of the stamps he asked about never see actual use in the countries concerned, however, stamp promoters today take few chances and if necessary are able to produce envelopes showing that the stamps have been used.The writer has some covers from several of the countries that have received \"black listings\" from different societies and catalog publishers.This is a problem that faces all collectors.and is not a new one by any means, an examination of old collections will reveal WORLD ALMANAC FACTS if BOX omet , *AM!fiOR \\ADJUSfMEN\\ nr the Wb h Hay fever was given its name in 1828 by London physician John Bostock, who noticed that the allergy\u2019s symptoms appeared at the

pollen in particular.Townships that it was the same in the good old days, and in some areas much worse.Stamp collecting is a hobby and if you like to see beautiful paintings illustrated on stamps then does it really matter if the stamps come from some distant land where the population is extremely small and the area a few square miles, or from one of the larger countries of Europe?However, to be honest about the whole matter one must admit that perhaps in a few years the small country will be swallowed up by some neieh-boring sheikdom and the European country will still be in business.Collect what you want, and rest assured that there are others like you.To get back to the question of a portion of this cqlumn devoted to your questions, this would seem to be an excellent suggestion, so send along your problems to the writer at Dixville, Que.Stamp collectors in the Townships have been extremely fortunate that there have been no burglaries or thefts of stamps.This has become a very acute problem in many parts of the world.You should give a great deal of thought to the possible loss of your stamps through theft or fire.Most insurance companies will insure your stamps and it could be that your comprehensive policy now does so.The problem seems to rest with the lack of an inventory in some cases.The Canadian Tagged stamps have increased in price for the early issues and some collectors are now finding that it takes several dollars to obtain some of them.These stamps should be obtained at time of issue and used copies carefully examined The modernization of postal sorting methods means that these stamps will be in use in a number of post offices in the next few years If you lack some of them you would be well advised to obtain them as soon as you are able.TET- There's

point to scrap NATO Title: NATO: Issues and Prospects, Author: Harold von Riekhoff, Publisher: The Canadian Institute of International Affairs, Pages: 170.\"Putting the military cart before the political horse\", commented Britain's Foreign Minister.George Brown.He referred to NATO detractors who advocate its immediate dissolution in order to speed up Europe's political change.The termination of the NATO alliance will not by itself reduce the number of soldiers in Europe.Political settlement must come first.This is the cornerstone on which Mr.von Riekhoff builds his argument that NATO still has a useful role to play for many years.The fundamental reason for NATO remains unchanged: to counteract the Russian influence in Central Europe and to balance the force of the Warsaw Pact Nations It will be needed as long as the political and military division of Europe persists.Scrapping the NATO alliance now would endanger Europe\u2019s stability and security.It is preferable to lessen the risks by agreements between NATO and Warsaw Pact Nations to reduce their military might proportionally in such manner as to maintain the balance on the two sides.The ultimate aim, of course, would be complete withdrawal of foreign troups from Europe.We are now.however, only at the beginning of a long period of detente building in Europe.During this long process NATO must be maintained to provide a vehicle for common action, co-ordination and planning.It would be essential in the event of a new Berlin-type crisis.The Prague - Moscow struggle has underlined effectively the need for NATO and has ended for a time any possibility of reduction of military forces in Europe by either camp.It also underlines, as Mr von Riekhoff points out.that a solution for divided Germany is essential before European stability can become a reality The insecurity of the East German leaders forced the Russians to act forcefully to end the Czech liberation movement.Mr von Reikhoff has produced a tightly written and closely argued case for NATO\u2019s future usefulness: a valuable service at a time when NATO critics lurk behind every editorial.K A.LUND by i- e charlton, f.r.n.s.The Benjamin Franklin Liberty Bell type of half dollar was issued in the 1 Anted Slates from 19411 to BHB II was discontinued rather abruptly to make way for the .! F Kennedy halt dollar in 19114 The most unusual and interesting feature ol the Franklin hall dollar is the prominent crack that is evident on the Liberty Bell However, instead of being a mini error, this is actually a good likeness of the bell as il is today The original bell was made in London England, lor Pennsyl vaniu s 50th anniversary and arrived in Philadelphia in 1752 A few days after its arrival and while being sounded, il suddenly eracked and this was blamed on an incorrect alloy of copper and tin.The Philadelphia foundry of Pass and Stow was then given the job of melting il down and recast ing with a larger percentage of copper Despite the improved alloy the bell was returned to the foundry three months laier cracked as badly as it was previously It was again melted down and recast.The Liberty Bell was then installed in the State House steeple and il was due to Ibis location that its name was acquired When the Declaration of Independence was adopted the Liberty Bell was sounded In proclaim the news During (he Revolutionary War the boll was removed and hidden, hut later was relumed to Iho State House steeple In 1781 il was taken down again as the steeple' was in danger of collapsing from ils weight The In'll was lowered into the brick part of the tower and re installed and used until July, 1835, when il broke again.By reason of its historic significance officials dr cidi'd not to repair the Ix-ll again and il was removed shortly af terward.Il has since been on display in various places and today il is on permanent display at Independence Hall in Philadelphia Only twice since il Iasi cracked has the bell been sounded.This was done for two radio programs on D-Day, 1944.when Philadelphia Mayor, Bernard Samuel, struck it with a rubber mallet.Another interesting feature of the Franklin-Liberty Bell half-dollar is the inscription \"Pass and Stow Philadelphia\u201d that appears on the bell STAMP Collecting Accessories We carry a good stock of accessories and supplies and solicit your orders for stock pages, albums, catalogs, mounts, glassines, gauges, books or binders.We will readily admit that we are not able to sell at the same prices as quoted in the United States, but the payment of duty and Federal Sales Tax prohibits this, and the difference in exchange does add to our cost.PHILMAR REG D DIXVILLE, P.Q.BY BLUEBELL PHILLIPS During the course of the next months, Kenneth Lund is going to be reviewing what he and I consider a very worthwhile group of books: CANADI-ANA BEFORE 1867.We hope you, too, will consider them worthy of being added to your libraries: at least some of them.Because Mr.Lund became so enthusiastic about the series.he decided to learn more about how they came to be published \u2014 re-published, to be exact, and he sent the information on to me.Mr.Lund first consulted Chief Librarian Harry Campbell of the Toronto Public Library.Of the Chief Librarian, our reviewer wrote: Mr.Campbell is a driving force behind CANADIANA BEFORE 1867 .The series contains 200 titles, reprints of the Toronto Public Library is responsible: the series is its centenary project, a natural one as the library has the largest easily accessible collection of early Canadiana \u2014 about 6,000 items.Mr.Campbell told Mr Lund that the cost of reprinting would be prohibitive to the library so it approached a commercial re- print house specializing in colonial Canada: the Johnson Reprint Corporation of New York which demanded guarantees in case of loss.Three other organizations \u2014 Social Research Council of Canada; Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.Paris; and Humanities Research Council of Canada \u2014 joined the library's effort, agreeing to underwrite deficits.The library assumed the task of recommending selection to its three associates and to doing the editorial work.One-third of the books are in French, to make available the richness of the French pre-confederation writings One particularly interesting bit of information from Mr.Campbell to Mr.Lund: If the library's copy of any book is damaged, it obtains photostats of the imperfect pages and in a few cases the reprint is better than the original.The Canadian distributors, Clarke Irwin, Toronto, whose chief editor told Mr.Lund that his publishing company is and always has been particularly interested in Canadiana.My thanks and the readers\u2019 to Mr.Lund for this interesting background information to CANADIANA BEFORE 1867.NEW BOOKS AT SHERBROOKE LIBRARY FICTION Preserve and Protect \u2014 Allen Drury.The Family \u2014 Leslie Waller.The Aristocrat \u2014 Conrad Richter.Once An Eagle \u2014 Anton Myrer.Bitter Babylon \u2014 Ethel Mannin.Many A Green Isle \u2014 Agnes Sligh Turnbull.Java Weed \u2014 Gerald Sparrow.Cruel As A Cat \u2014 Michael Halliday.A Few Small Bones \u2014 Hugh C.Rae.NON FICTION On Reflection \u2014 Helen Hayes.The Doctors Warren Of Boston \u2014 Rhoda Truax.The Distemper Of Our Times \u2014 Peter Newman.w a / You should read Record Classified Ads .Regularly!

On the banks of the Huangpu.on a warm autumn afternoon, the new arrival from Peking has the impression of seeing signs of a bud-ding prosperity, something which recalls to his mind the beginnings of a bourgeois languidness.The crowds stroll aimlessly, there is a constant click of cameras, young people sit on the wall overlooking the water, legs dangling, staring dreamily at the black sails of the passing junks and trans-ocean liners In the evenings, couples embrace under the trees.However, the city has been the spearhead of revolutionary combat for more than a half-century, and now seems to be playing an exceptionally important role.It was in Shanghai that, in 1912.the Chinese Communist party was founded.And it was from Shanghai that.53 years later.Ihe cultural revolution was launched The two leaders of the Shanghai municipal revolu- tion ary committee.Chang Chun Chia and Yao Wen Yuan, are among the eight top leaders of the country.Yao seems to be the main theoretician of the regime.The Shanghai newspaper.Wen Pao.is read every day in Peking as the New York Times is read in Washington.And the paper, despite last summer\u2019s directives concerning the absolute authority of the Peking central power, does not hesitate to set the tone of militancy for newspa pers of the capital.WAGE CONTINUOUS BATTLE With 10,000,000 inhabitants, including 1.000.000 workers.Shanghai is an important industrial centre by any standards.Its very development creates special problems.Local authorities wage a continuous battle against any tendencies towards relaxation or softness, such as \u201cthe evil wind of falling in love and getting married.\u201d as the Wen Pao described it several months ago.This \u201cillness.\" particularly prevalent among intellectuals, has also beset young peasants and workers, the paper said.Instead of devoting themselves to the revolution, these young people have a tendency to \u201ccouple.\" to go strolling to- gether.to fall in love, and even to marry just after finishing their studies or training.\u201cas though they think that love, marriage, family and individual happiness are the aims of life.\" Juvenile delinquency has been another problem Bands of youths have been attacking women and terrorizing the countryside, and also speculating on the black market.But these are peripheral aspects of the life of this immense city.The serious visitor to Shanghai must go, not to the banks of the Huangpu.but to the permanent exhibition of locally-produced industrial products.There, he will find transistors.diesels and antibiotics, watches and bicycles, and entire rooms of textiles, electronic telecommunication equipment, radios and television, and automobiles including a three-wheeled little truck which one day is destined to replace tricycles and animal-drawn vehicles throughout the country.THEATRES CLOSED At the moment.Shanghai theatres are closed, but in the evening the opera \"goes to the people\" in the streets.The backdrop is invariably an enormous portrait of Communist party Chairman Mao Tse-tung.The young groups present revolutionary songs and dances.Foreigners are rare in the city.Since Britain closed down its consulate last year, there are only 25 British citizens here, half of them of Chinese descent.The French colony consists of eight persons: two representatives of Air France, the 80-year-old widow of a French citizen, and five French women married to Chinese.Poland has a consulate-general here.This handful of people, plus some monuments, are all that remain of the years when this metropolis was dominated by the French, the British or the Japanese.In early days, Ottawa, capital of Canada, was a logging community of 10,000 people and was known as Bytown.The sea battle between the Constitution and the Guerrière lasted between 30 and 40 minutes.Gov.John Winthrop of Massachusetts is credited with introducing the table fork to America in 1630.LIL ABNER NO&ODYLL LET YOU LAND NOWHERE, BANANAS\"' WE'RE SOMEWHERE OVERTH'U S A.AGAIN AN'-?-WE'RE.,\u2014 \u201e OUTA ,____/ FUEL.// Ü'Y- ' TX ® AROUND TH WOILD FOUR WINTHROP IN THE HBk&HBOKMOOP has a PO& WHI-STLE AMP IT'^ PI?lVlN\u2014r TODAY 1\t___ \u201ePA PRIDE OF EVER' KALLIKAK \\ [ijATER tY' OHiMV SOUL!

GOVERNMENT UNHAPPY The federal officials were unhappy because they felt the Red Cross was indirectly prolonging the war by providing relief assistance to secessionist Biafra.and because it allegedly facilitated the flow of arms to the breakaway zone.Gun-running planes seek to take advantage of mercy flights to Biafra by inserting themselves into the relief funnel, thus making themselves eligible for safe passage across federal territory On the Biafran side, there is a widespread suspicion that the Red Cross is basically unfriendly to the secessionist cause.Ifegwu Eke.Biafra's information commissioner, held a news conference not long ago at which he accused Red Cross personnel of everything from \"playing politics\" to helping the Nigerians.Many times, he alleged, personnel of the international organization working near the front lines allowed food and other stores to fall into the hands of advancing federal troops.SLAIN BY TROOPS One of the places Dr.Eke cited was Okigwe.where two Red Cross workers were among four white relief workers slain by federal soldiers.As a result of the Okigwe incident, the Geneva office decided that henceforth personnel would fall back with Biafran forces rather than stay at their posts to try to help those left on the Nigerian side of the line Two days after Eke spoke.Lt.-Col Odumegwu Ojukwu.Biafran head of state, followed up with another blast at the Red Cross.\"It (the Red Cross) doesn't believe in our existence.\" Col Ojukwu told a news conference.\"It's as simple as that\" At the same time the Biafran leader is reliably reported to have asked Dr.Lindt, one of Switzerland's top diplomats who was seconded to the Red Cross by the Swiss government to take charge of the Nigerian emergency, to continue caring for \u2018\u2018my people\u201d now living behind Nigerian lines.CHARGES DENIED The Red Cross denied all the charges levelled against it by Dr.Eke.It made the point that the very fact it is engaged on both sides of the battle precludes it from \"playing politics\" or favoring one combatant over the other.The Red Cross relief operation is the largest being carried out in Nigeria and Biafra.In Biafra alone it has been feeding 850.000 children plus a small number of pregnant and nursing mothers.Another 500.000 to 600.000 are being assisted in federal Nigeria About 340 persons are work- Scandinavians seem a bit odd to strangers STOCKHOLM (AP) - To a visitor from outside, the Scandinavians sometimes seem a bit odd.As a sort of commonwealth of welfare states, more socialized than Socialist, they get along famously.At the same time, they often give the impression they can't stand one another.We Love Families Too!

operators that they are trespassing over the land of others in their fun.Too many times reports have circulated that fences have been cut not only in one section but at intervals as close as twenty

Association in Boston BOSTON (APi - The first meeting between the American League president and the Umpires Association seemed cordial despite threats of a congressional investigation in Washington.AL president Joe Cronin, who fired umpires A1 Salerno and Bill Valentine last September, and representatives of the Umpires Association met for 2D hours behind closed doors Thursday at league headquarters.About the same time.Frank Thompson, chairman of a House labor subcommittee, said in Washington that plans for early hearings on the firing of the two umpires will be expanded to include the labor problems of professional athletes generally.T have seen no evidence that American League officials are taking affirmative steps to give these two men a hearing or any other kind of reconsideration.\" said Thompson, who apparently was unaware of the Boston meeting.Thompson hinted in a statement that he may not open his hearings if Cronin reinstates the umpires.WILL MEET AGAIN John Reynolds Jr.of Chicago, the Umpires Association lawyer.and Cronin said in a joint statement that \"the matter of Salerno-Valentine was discussed and further discussion yvill be held ' Cronin and Reynolds called the meeting 'cordial'' and agreed \"considerable progress\" was made.They also apparently agreed not to disclose the issues, saying only that \"numerous matters\" were discussed Cronin said in firing Salerno and Valentine that they were \"inefficient and never first class at any one time.\" Salerno joined the league in 1961.one year before Valentine.Salerno and Valentine claimed they were fired because they were attempting to organize AL umpires to obtain higher wages and other benefits Cronin denied he knew of any organization attempt.Karl Schranz wins first small trout, made available to all districts emerged from eggs in hatcheries a year ago this fall; they were already five to six inches long and weighed about an ounce apiece.The stocking is scaled to make up for the heavy fishing and to ensure a better harvest the following summer.Indeed, earlier stocking had taken place this spring in streams and other bodies of water showing signs of depletion.The modernizing of hatchery facilities over the past two years has made it possible for the Hatchery Division to produce 18 month-old trout of a size better suited to district needs.?\t_h_ M C.Pagerie,
