home to some of Canada\u2019s oldest, largest and most commercially valuable trees.The government will outlaw clearcutting \u2014 denuding large tracts of forest of every tree \u2014 and legislate a new form of harvesting called the variable retention system in the sound.Forests Minister Andrew Petter said Thursday the system, which forces loggers to leave more trees standing, will protect jobs and the environment at the same time.Planners have talked about a polka-dot pattern of harvesting, with small stands of trees left in cut areas to reduce soil erosion and preserve animal habitat.Cutblocks will be smaller and more widely dispersed, forest road-building will be restricted and any harvesting projects must be approved by the scientific panel that recommended the changes.UNIQUE AREA \u201cThe government recognizes the unique values present in Clayoquot Sound and is committed to implementing the world\u2019s best forest practices there,\u201d Petter said.Industry and environmental leaders offered cautious approval to Petter\u2019s announcement that the NDP government is adopting all 120 recommendations the government- appointed panel made last month.\u201cWe need to make sure this rhetoric plays out on the ground,\u201d said Greenpeace activist Tzeporah Berman, organizer of the 1993 Clayoquot road blockades that led to 800 arrests in

skies over Cold Lake were quiet Thursday as jet pilots mourned the loss of one of their own.Capt.Richard Bailey, 30, of Vernon, B.C., died Wednesday when his CF-18 Hornet fighter plunged to the ground 70 kilometres northeast of Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake.Bailey was unable to eject from his fighter before it crashed during an early morning training mission.\u201cThe impact of this tragedy is felt all over the country because we're such a tiny air force that we literally know everybody, especially in the CF-18 world,\u201d said Capt.Tony White of Fighter Group command in North Bay, Ont.\u201cI mean, you're only talking 72 operational fighters, anywhere from 100 to 150 pilots .it's not very many.\u201cSo when we lose one or we hear of one going missing, we certainly get very

p.m.Wednesday.\u201cHe lived for flying,\u201d his father Irv said from the family home before his son\u2019s body was found.Lieut.Yvonne Cooper, base information officer, wouldn't say where

Bernardo\u2019s lawyer hinted Thursday he\u2019s already made one of the toughest decisions any defence counsel faces \u2014 whether to put his client on the witness stand.The start of John Rosen's defence is still weeks away, but he suggested twice during cross-examination of Karla Homolka that he'll call Bernardo to testify.\u201cWe'll hear from him.at the appropriate time,\u201d Rosen said at one point.Later, Homolka told jurors Bernardo was serious \u2014 not joking \u2014 when he called himself \u201cthe king.\u201d \u201cWe'll ask him how he felt,\u201d the defence lawyer replied.Rosen refused to comment later when asked outside court whether Bernardo would be testifying.His co-counsel, Tony Bryant, and prosecutor Ray Houlahan indicated Thursday the trial would likely last until Septem- WEATHER ber \u2014 not early August as the judge has suggested.The extra time could be used to hear Bernardo\u2019s testimony.POKING HOLES So far, Rosen\u2019s strategy has consisted of trying to poke holes in Homolka\u2019s testimony: that Bernardo was the ringmaster in the sex slayings of two Ontario schoolgirls and actually strangled the teens.It's rarely easy to decide if the accused in a criminal trial should take the witness stand, says Toronto lawyer Bruce Durno, president of the Criminal Lawyers Association.\u201cYou agonize over the decision,\u201d he said in an interview.Contrary to popular belief, acquittals are often won without the judge or jury ever hearing from an accused, Dur- no said.Sometimes the Crown's case 1s so weak, there's no need for defence evidence, he said, or the defence can simply bring out its evidence by cross- examining prosecution witnesses.If all the witnesses to a killing say the accused was dead INCEST: drunk when he committed the crime, for example, that may be all that's required to get a murder charge reduced to manslaughter, said Durno.Defence lawyers also must consider whether the defen- pended for a second day

part of a plot to have him removed from the home so they could do as they pleased.Sirois said he did not believe the accused.It wouldn\u2019t make sense, the judge said, for the boy to plot to get his father out of the house, since the teenager had been living in a foster home for several years anyway and only spent weekends with his parents.The judge has ordered that psychological and psychiatric

The Townships Treading water.Forest fire threat continues Townshippers cope with heat SHERBROOKE \u2014 Residents across the Eastern Townships were seeking relief from the heat Wednesday as soaring temperatures coupled with high humidity made every least movement feel like an aeorobic workout.Some chose to cool themselves off in local swimming pools while others sought relief at ice-cream counters, grocery stores, shopping malls \u2014 any place blessed with air conditioning.With the mercury hovering at a steamy 30 degrees Celsius, environment officials were warning of high bacterial counts in the water at some local beaches.Just when a dip at the nearest lake was most appealing, the Environment Ministry was forced to close Blanchard beach Thursday after detecting higher-than- acceptable levels of fecal coli- form bacteria in the water.Officials are awaiting the results of more tests carried out on Wednesday to see if levels had changed.They suggested hot weather itself has been encouraging the bacteria to multiply.Environment ministry spokesman Paul Coté said the public will be informed just as soon as the water is back to normal.In the meantime, check with the rating for you local beach before venturing out into the waters.The long dry spell has greatly increased the risk of forest fires in the region, as well.On Thurscay, the Society for the Prevention of Forest Fires reminded the public that open fires are forbidden until further notice.Anyone caught roasting marshmallows before water levels return to normal are eligible for stiff fines, even criminal charges.With no substantial rain since June 4 and record high temperatures, all areas of Quebec south of Lac St.Jean are listed as being in extreme danger of forest fires.Currently, firefighters are working to bring some 157 forest fires across the province under control.There have been 549 forest fires in Quebec this year alone.A slight chance of showers on Friday and Saturday may bring some relief from the humidity with but temperatures are expected to persist at around 27 degrees C.: - 7 a LR Even the water was warm.Construction in Melbourne Township, Ascot and Weedon area Infrastructure plan builds roads in Townships SHERBROOKE \u2014 Loonies will soon begin pouring into the potholes of several roads around the Townships, as municipalities take advantage of the funds put aside last year under the Canada-Quebec Infrastructure Program.The Municipality of Melbourne Township will spend $194,264 on road repairs this summer, with the provincial and federal governments each kicking in an additional $50,288.Most of the work will be concentrated on Lay, Burril and Ely Roads, while part of the funds have been earmarked for the construction of a new municipal garage.Melbourne Township Mayor Daryl Grainger and Johnson MNA Claude Boucher expect the investment to have positive effects on the local economy.The Canada-Quebec Infrastructure program, started last year, commits the provincial and federal governments to generating a total value of $1.575 billion in job-creating infrastructure projects this year.ASCOT In Ascot, work is to begin this month on a section of Mac- Donald Road between Perdriè- re St.and the bicycle-path crossing.Town council considers the road an important artery and have authorized total spending of $320,060 to rebuild and pave this section of the road.Ascot council reminds residents that the work underway now on Belvedere Heights is expected to continue until the middle of this month.The improvements, which include a new sidewalk on the east side of Belvedere St.between Sherbrooke city limits and Hallée St., have required spending a total of $683,896.Between Bel Horizon St.and neighboring Sherbrooke, the infrastructure works include installation of new water and sewage pipes and re-paving between Boisclair St.and Sherbrooke city limits.Plans also call for widening a stretch of Belvedere St.between Thibault and Sara Streets.HIGHWAY WORK Transport Quebec began work Thursday installing guard rails and re-building a section of Route 112 that runs through Weedon Village and Weedon Township; the work is to extend to Route 161 through Nantes and Stornoway at a total cost of $417,650.Officials are advising travel- Jers that, over the next four weeks, roadcrews will be at work in the vicinity between 5:30 a.m.and 8 p.m., during which time traffic will have to share a single lane for a length of about eight kilometres.Once the surface has been rebuilt, and paving started, traffic is expected to return to two lanes. Editorial 6\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, July 7, 1998 More than just a newspaper The Outlet is celebrating its 15th anniversary as perhaps the Townships\u2019 most unique newspaper.Started as a vehicle for better communication between parishioners and residents of Magog, The Outlet has been a fixture in the community for 15 years, bringing its unique blend of ecumenical church news, historical features and regional news to readers throughout the Townships and beyond.But the paper, like all good community newspapers, is more than just a vehicle for news and information.It is an important link between members of the community, providing essential and often interesting news, while acting as a mirror in which readers catch a monthly glimpse of themselves.From its modest beginnings as an Anglican Church newsletter, to its current multi-denominational readership, the Outlet manages to bring together people of different faiths, giving each the opportunity to learn more about the other, to achieve a clearer understanding of their differences, and an important understanding of their many similarities.Co-founders and co-publishers Charles Catchpaugh and Rev.Lynn Ross have watched their baby grow and mature and should be proud of their creation.So should the dozens of volunteers who contribute to the miracle of its monthly production schedule.Happy anniversary to the Outlet, and to the many contributors who make it possible.Here's to a future filled with continued success \u2014 which, ultimately, is measured not in financial profits, but in the far more significant and lasting appreciation from the community you serve.RITA LEGAULT Today in history By The Canadian Press The first 90 members of the newly created Order of Canada were announced 28 years

Knowlton for some 13 years I knew that this is a great town to bring up a family, have friends, enjoy leisure sports, and start and run a business, but now I know that Mr.Timmins is able to guide me in good taste.He was very vocal about the bluegrass singer in the park on Monday and how distasteful he found it, but never mentioned the classical music in that same park on the previous Saturday.That must be good taste.The fledgling SIDAC had decided to provide entertainment of all sorts on the streets and in the park during the summer in order to maintain and enhance the ambiance in the business core, but alas, we forgot to consult Mr.Timmins.As for his comments about not being interested in the long term interests of the community in exchange for a fast buck, I guess my wife and I should have consulted him as well before spending 13 years working seven days a week and investing our life savings into our business, and working hard to develop a cohesive business community and quality place to live.So, to close, perhaps before Mr.Timmins puts pen to paper again he will take the time to think.Then I hope he will realize that his is ONE point of view, and a valid one, amongst MANY other equally valid points of view and that tolerance and co-operation will take him further than his usual abrasive attitude.Yours truly, CAMERON C.BROWN Co-owner, Camlen Christmas & Antiques

\u2014 Roman Catholic parts of Belfast tore themselves apart this week over the speedy parole of a British paratrooper.The case of Paul Nor- ney helps explain why.Norney went to prison for Irish Republican Army offences in 1975 when he was 17.One of the longest-serving prisoners in the Northern Ireland conflict, Norney and his loved ones still wonder when he can come home.For Norney \u2014 like more than a thousand IRA members and pro-British \u201cloyalists\u201d still behind bars \u2014 the release of Pte.Lee Clegg was a slap in the face.\u201cA British soldier convicted of murder gets released after a few years,\u201d said Norney\u2019s wife, Briege, 35.\u201cMy Paul wasn\u2019t convicted of killing anyone but he\u2019s spent his whole adult life in prison.This is what gets the people so angry on the streets.\u201d Norney was one of five IRA men arrested in Manchester, northwest England, in July 1975 after a struggle in which a police officer was shot and wounded.All five were convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to life.DEMAND RELEASE Since the IRA began a truce Sept.1, its allied Sinn Fein party has demanded that Britain release more than 600 IRA prisoners \u2014 and warn that refusal could well pressure the IRA into restarting its killing.The rival pro-British loyalist groups, which laid down their guns Oct.13, demand the same for their nearly 500 prisoners.Though Catholic areas rioted when Britain released Clegg on Monday \u2014 a sign of their deep antipathy towards British soldiers \u2014 Protestant extremists feel just as frustrated.\u201cWe want to know why Lee Clegg was released so soon when some of our prisoners Behind the News mme Riots and wrongs: IRA \u2018soldiers\u2019 demand pardons for peace nave served 18 years,\u201d said Billy Hutchinson, a loyalist negotiator who was jailed 16 years for killing two Catholics.\u201cWhat\u2019s the point of talking, of making peace, if we can\u2019t get even one prisoner released?\u201d Hutchinson said Thursday as his side met British officials to negotiate for their side\u2019s prisoners.MUST BE SERVED Britain's chief official in Northern Ireland, Sir Patrick May- hew, insists that paramilitary prisoners from both sides have to serve their sentences.That made his decision Monday to parole Clegg after serving less than four years for Mines kill and maim 30,000 people each year Canada urges world to ban landmines By Lisa Schlein GENEVA (CP) \u2014 Landmines cause untold suffering, impede the development of war-torn societies and should be banned around the world, Canadian delegate Andrew McAlister told a UN conference on mine clearance Thursday.The United Nations is trying to put an end to the use of mines which each year kill and maim an estimated 30,000 people.Thirty per cent of the victims are children.\u201cWe must eliminate land mines once and for all,\u201d UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali told the International Conference on Mine Clearance.\u201cWe must ban their use.We must ban their production.We must destroy those that are stockpiled.\u201d But the U.S.delegation said that while Washington supports the eventual elimination of landmines, an outright ban is politically and militarily still impossible.HOLD HOSTAGES Landmines, McAlister said, \u201ccause untold suffering and hold entire populations hostage, preventing the recovery and development of war-torn societies, long after the fighting has ended.\u201d The three-day conference hopes to raise more than $100 million Cdn for de-mining projects.Up to 110 million mines are believed to be scattered through 65 countries, from Bosnia-Herzegovina to Mozambique.McAlister said that \u201cdespite the growing international awareness of the horrors of antipersonnel landmines, their production and sale continue.\u201d While landmines are manufactured in 50 countries and exported by 35, Canada stopped exporting them in 1987 and hasn't manufactured them since 1992.Canada views mine clearance as a development priority, said McAlister.\u201cMinefields are a considerable obstacle to development in many countries.They prevent people from going about their daily productive lives.\u201d LOSING BATTLE The international community, however, appears to be fighting a losing battle.Last year, the UN said at least two million new mines were laid while only 100,000 were removed.At that rate, it will take more than 1,000 years and some $45 billion to clear the world of landmines.Canada on Thursday pledged an initial contribution of $200,000 to the UN Voluntary Trust Fund for Mine Clearing Activities.The United States promised $17 million, the European Union $5.5 million and France $500,000.Can\u2019t convinced trade tribunals Canadian subsidies exist U.S.takes tough line on lumber By Chris Morris WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 United States lumber interests are chopping away at the system under which Canada prices and sells timber south of the border.As Canadian and American negotiators prepare for consultations on softwood lumber in Kelowna, B.C., next week, U.S.spokesmen made it clear on Thursday they want big changes in the Canadian marketing system.\u201cWe don\u2019t want to go to Canada with the idea that if we don\u2019t get our way, we're going to file an action,\u201d said Max Singleton, chairman of the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, which represents U.S.lumber interests.\u201cBut I do think we need to seriously address the system because the irritant to bilateral trade is not going to go away unless we can find some common ground.\u201d Although the Americans have failed to persuade free trade tribunals that Canadian lumber is subsidized, they say they're ready and willing to challenge the issue again if necessary.U.S.ADVANTAGE Only now, the rules have changed to the advantage of the United States.Both Canadian and U.S.analysts say it would be much harder for Canada to win its case under the new conditions.\u201cThe last panel said in a split decision that Canadian timber- pricing practices weren't subsidies under U.S.law,\u201d said a source for the U.S.lumber lobby in Washington.killing a Belfast woman even more infuriating to the many people embroiled in Northern Ireland\u2019s conflict.Mayhew decided that Clegg\u2019s case was different because he hadn't planned to kill anyone.\u201cNone of these people in prison \u2014 not my Paul, not Lee Clegg, not the loyalists \u2014 would be inside but for the conflict here.The situation\u2019s changed because of the ceasefires.All of them should be getting out,\u201d said Briege Norney.In Northern Ireland, IRA and loyalist prisoners with long-term or indefinite sentences have their cases reviewed after 10 or 12 years.Canada has been a leader in mine-clearing operations for several years, providing more than $5 million for technical assistance and de-mining training projects in Afghanistan, Cambodia and Angola.Canadian peacekeeping forces were involved in de-mining operations in Afghanistan from 1987 to 1989 and continue to play a leading role in Cambodia.Another $6 million is being spent on a project to develop low or no-metal mine detection, McAlister said.\u201cUltimately we would very much like to see a global ban on landmines,\u201d he said.dispute \u201cSo we just got Congress to change that.It (Congress) made it quite clear it was reversing the panel; that the practices are subsidies under U.S.law, and so, yes, it should make a future case much easier for us.\u201d Canada balks at new EU wheat duties BRUSSELS (Reuter) \u2014 Canada said Thursday it is taking the European Union before the World Trade Organization because its new system of wheat import duties is unfair.The EU system, introduced on July 1 to comply with the WTO world farm trade agreement, involved the conversion of import quotas and variable levies into fixed tariffs which would be progressively reduced over six years.\u201cWe are challenging the principle not the numbers,\u201d a Canadian official said, adding that Canada has issued four high-level warnings, the last on May 17, that it would call a WTO disputes panel.Canada has attacked the EU system because it is based on U.S.reference prices even though the United States supplies only 25 per cent of EU durum and high-quality wheat imports.Canada says it supplies two- thirds of the 1.5 million tonnes of these grains that the EU imports each year and wants duties based on the cost of individual shipments.\u201cOur objective is to have a consignment price system \u2014 in our view it's the only one which will work,\u201d the official said.The EU has rejected the idea.\u201cIt\u2019s a non-runner,\u201d the European Commission's agriculture spokesman said, adding that a shipment by shipment system would be impossible to control and wide open to fraud.But the system was not cast in stone.\u201c(EU Farm Commissioner Franz) Fischler has said these measures can be reviewed in the light of experience,\u201d the spokesman said.

campaign.Unfortunately, there was some abuse: sometimes the resale value was substantially lower than the amount on the receipt issued only a few days before.The Québec government introduced certain amendments relating to this situation in its last budget.The budget proposes that the gift of a work of art to a charitable organization may not give entitlement to a tax credit or to a tax deduction for a charitable gift in the year of the gift, unless the work of art has been sold by the charitable organization and, therefore, its true value is known.For the purpose of calculating the tax credit or the deduction for charitable gifts, the recognized amount of the gift will be equal to the lesser of the selling price of the work RAYMOND, CHABOT, MARTIN, PARE Gifts of works of art to charitable organizations Tax Talks of art and its fair market vaiue at the time of the sale.However, this sale must take place no later than the end of the fifth calendar year following that of the gift, failing which the tax credit or the deduction for a charitable gift may no longer be requested.This means that when a charitable organization receives a gift of a work of art, it can only issue a receipt when the item is sold.Applications for the credit or deduction for charitable gifts can be made during the year by filing amended tax returns.This measure applies to gifts of work of art made on or after

Paris dictate its rules of dressing to the fashionable of the world, especially to North American women?It seems that the French capital had dominated the scene with inflexible laws forever telling us what was \u201cin\u201d.However, that is changing.The eclectic taste of the woman in prominent position and even of the one on the street, is winning out.This applies especially to the length of the fashions of the 1990s.The startling fact is that for the great share of human history people paid little heed to fashion, wearing loose robe-type clothing from ruler to ruled, regardless of sex.It is only the past few centuries which saw the evolution bringing in the consciousness of clothing which fits the human body to a greater or lesser degree.The thought that women\u2019s clothing can be anything but down to the ground, had not occured to designers until the present century.The early vears of the present century still hemmed in by the rigid convention of long dresses for daytime wear.| quote Elizabeth Ewing, all my quotations in the present column are from her book History of 20th Cen- turv Fashion: \u201cAlthough women had been taking part in an increasing number of sports since the 1880s, they had up to now done so in their usual hampering, cumbersome clothes.Even on bicycles, their favorite form of transport, it was more usual to keep to long skirts than to break out into bloomers.tucking up their trains as well as they could.\u201d Yes, women took up more sports.There is a picture of Mrs.Sterry, tenms champion of 1909, in a long-sleeved ankle length white cotton

accompanying action picture shows the lady achieving a powerful swing and revealing several inches of ankle.Bt 1915, though the world was on fire because of the Great War, softer winds of fashion blew, dresses became shorter and freer to move.From then on fashionable women never looked back.With WWII behind them Paris designers brought in the short evening dress and with this revolution, because women\u2019s legs showed more than ever before, the color of stockings became important.Before this time women wore Fashion Notes By Marie Burns white stockings in the summer and black in the winter.Now stockings were made in the new flesh-colored shades \u2014 a great break for the stocking industry! Paris designers continued to play hemline length for all it was worth.Nothing dated an outfit more than its length; if short had to return to long a whole wardrobe promised (or threatened) a complete change.In the 1930s longer skirts prevailed after a brief reign of the shorter styles of the \u201820s.There is something graceful and feminine and dignified in the longer length.The \u201clonger look\u201d was part of the matchless elegance of the thirties.Barbers did double duty as surgeons During the 1940s the length of skirts rose considerably, partly because the war effort demanded economy.To compensate, designers had to focus on other details.The \u201cNew Look\u201d of 1947 threw all thought of economy to the winds with abandon.Skirts once more were full, as witnessed in the black \u201cballerina\u201d skirt that every girl had to have, and t he length was also generous, about to reach the ankles.Paris experimented with longer and shorter lengths in the following years.Then a bomb exploded with the arrival of the mini on the scene.By then \u201cParis couture began to wilt as a leading force.The exclusiveness and the authority of Paris were in retreat.\u201d observed Ms.Ewing.The mini of 1965 was a new concept with its extreme shortness.The idea had to be ascribed not to Paris but to London, notably to Mary Quant.The wild fire of mini skirt as fashion caught on with the very young.When they dared it rose to the stage of \u201cmicro mini\u201d.The mature lady allowed herself the \u201cclassic mini\u201d which settled three inches above her knee.The extreme look of the mini could not last, mainly because Shaving history shows importance of By Jean Edwards Stacey St.John's Telegram ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 I remember Sundays and watching my father perform the ritual of shaving.Laying out his shaving mug and shaving brush.Wetting his beard, mixing a thick foamy lather in his shaving mug, brushing the mixture on his face, then picking up his safety razor and making long downward sweeps, taking particular care around the mouth and nose.Then came rinsing, towelling dry and the final touch \u2014 a stinging splash of after-shave lotion.Old Spice was and remains his particular favorite.For most men, shaving is just one of the many tedious routines that must be endured every morning.Yet the ritual of shaving has played a significant role in the lives of men throughout history.The Greeks were the first to establish male grooming centres, offering a full range of services such as beard cutting and trimming, shaving, manicures and other cosmetic treatments.In Rome the more prosperous citizens had their own household barbers.The great houses of ancient Egypt also had barbers among their retainers and offered their services as hospitality to guests.For six centuries the barbers of Europe practised surgery.According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, the custom began with a papal decree of 1163 that forbade the clergy to shed blood.At the time monks were required to let blood at regular intervals and some of them had been performing this task, along with minor surgery.Now they turned those duties over w barbers \u2014 familiar figures at the monasteries since 1092 when clergy was required to be clean shaven.The arrangement was satisfactory to doctors of the era who.although they considered blood letting necessary, thought it beneath their dignity.The doctors were also glad to relegate to barbers tasks such as lancing abscesses and treating wounds.Barber-surgeons were sometimes called \u201cdoctors of the short robe\u201d to distinguish them from university-trained physicians and surgeons whose superiority was apt to be only in their knowledge of Latin and their title of \u201cdoctor of the long robe.\u201d In England the guild of surgeons was separated from that of barbers in 1745.Today the red-and-white barber pole is a symbol of the barber\u2019s former sideline of Company By Marlene Habib TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Michael Budman and Don Green are determined to stick to their roots \u2014 not just because the Roots moniker is all over the clothing and leather products they've been making

orthopedic specialists say is better for posture.Today, 95 per cent of Roots goods \u2014 from leather knapsacks, shoes and jackets to women\u2019s, men\u2019s and kids\u2019 casual clothing \u2014 are made in Canada, with about half churned out from a massive factory in suburban North York.Roots employs more than 1,000 Canadians in the design, manufacturing, wholesale and retail fields.Heading

of jading and wear.Apropos to the subject, 1 found a Gazette clipping in my sewing cabinet, dating June 19, 1970.It gives accurate description of all possible varieties of skirt lengths from the maxi to the micro.There is an appropriate article on the same page entitled, \u201cTV is dither over skirt lengths\u201d (New York \u2014 AP).\u201cThe hemline revolution.has created some special problems for the women in U.S.television.Fashion arbiters have decreed that skirts must fall to mid-calf, a point beyond which even the most modified mini can be lengthened.Many women are protesting.\u201d Then the writer goes on to quote TV personalities of conflicting opinions on the subject.The mini enjoyed a mild revival in recent times, but its popularity is limited to the very young and to certain professional women highly visible as executives.Paris no longer determines dress length.The mini is flattering only to those with perfect legs.It loses a sense of proportion even then, if short

At trick two, West switched to a low heart.After winning with dummy\u2019s heart queen, the declarer, Walid El-Ahmady from Egypt, cashed dummy\u2019s diamond ace, played a club to his king and cashed

combination.Only Hani Dagher from Egypt played correctly.After winning the first trick with his spade ace, Hani led a diamond to dummy\u2019s nine and East's jack.Back came a spade to South's king, the heart two being thrown from the dummy.But now, rather than take a second diamond finesse immediately, Hani cashed his top clubs.And when the queen dropped on the second round, South unblocked the club jack, played a heart to dummy\u2019s king and cashed the club 10, on which he discarded the diamond queen.Now came a heart to the ace, followed by the heart queen.Lo and behold, that suit was 3-3.Suddenly declarer had 12 tricks (three spades, four hearts, one diamond and four clubs) without needing to resort to another diamond finesse.For once, justice was observed to be done when Hani\u2019s prepared mind found every chance to bring home the slam.BRIDGE The RECORD\u2014Friday, July 7, 1995\u201413 SEARS Expect more from Sears \u2018Your choice\u2019 offer ends Wed., July 19,

MAGOG \u2014 When people\u2019s warden Charles Catch- paugh and Rev.Lynn Ross began churning out a newsletter for St.Luke\u2019s Anglican Parish, they never expected it would turn into a monthly newspaper distributed far and wide.But fifteen years later, the Outlet is going strong, with a local circulation of 3,500 in addition to copies that are mailed across Canada and the United States.The unique newsletter was born out of the need for better communications between parishioners, and between members of other faiths in the community, say founders and co-publishers Ross and Catchpaugh.\u201cThere were obvious problems which emanated from the need for better communication in the parish,\u201d editor Catchpaugh explains.\u201cThat gave rise to the idea of a newsletter.\u201d The first issue of St.Luke\u2019s Newsletter, printed on August 28, 1980, was produced on IBM electric typewriters and printed on an ancient Gestetner press.It included mostly news about St.Luke\u2019s congregation.\u201cThen we included St.Paul's Church and added four pages, then St.Patrick\u2019s said we should get in on this, and we added more.\u201d Soon the paper covered local churches of all religious persuasions.WIDE COVERAGE \u201cToday we carry copy for 14 denominations,\u201d Catchpaugh said, enumerating them: \u201cWe started out with the Anglican, United and Roman Catholics.Then we had copy from the Congregationalists, the Baptists and the Brethren Church.Later we got stuff from the Christian Science and Lutheran Churches, the Adventists, the Salvation Army.\u201d \u201cNow how many was that?, he asks, as he\u2019s interrupted by correspondent Maunya St.Martin, dropping off a story about St.Paul's United Church for the 15th anniversary edition.\u201cYou see, people just run in off the streets,\u201d Catchpaugh says.Just then, his wife Doris enters the room and offers Maunya a glass of iced tea.\u201cOh yes, we've carried for the Jewish faith and the Greek Orthodox Church in Sherbrooke and the Mormon Church in Newport,\u201d Catchpaugh says, wrapping up his ecumenical list of contributors.\u201cOur goal was to support churches.In 15 years\u2019 carrying copy for 14 churches, I think we haven't done bad.\u201d About one third of the content of the Outlet is devoted to churches.But the paper also contains historical articles \u201cbecause there is not enough said about it, and the English-speaking population likes to get credit for what they've done.\u201d Another third of the content is general regional news that\u2019s often not covered in other English papers, or summaries of what's been in the other media for those who don\u2019t live in the region and want to keep up with what's going on, Catchpaugh said.REFLECTS CONCERNS The paper reflects the personality of its editor, as well as the Lynn Ross, Charles Catchpaugh and Philip Catchpaugh take a break on production day.ar HS CIN JU-MILL TON, z
