unemployed.freezing salaries for public servants and politicians and reducing department budgets.Finance Minister Don Mazankowski told Canadians on Wednesday they will have to keep making sacrifices \u2014 including sticking it out in a job you don\u2019t like \u2014 for a while longer.And he offered only a minor boost for the sputtering cco- nomy \u2014 $500 million for construction projects and various investment incentives for small businesses.\u2018We are asking everyone to do more so that a stronger recovery and sustained growth can be shared by all Canadians.\u201d said Mazankowski.His

Gérald Tremblay.The hiring-assistance program will offer $30 million to firms which employ welfare recipients.It would pay a maximum assistance allowance of $160 a week for each new employee.for up to

SHERBROOKE \u2014 Children in the Eastern Townships will not be included in the first wave of a mass vaccination against meningitis because there is no immediate need for the vaccine here, the doctor in charge of community health protection for the Estrie region said Wednesday.Quebec will begin a mass inoculation program against meningitis this month.the province's health minister announced.By March.1.7 million Quebe- cers from six months to 20 vcars old will have been vacei- nated against the disease.Marc-Y van Côté said in a statement.But Sherbrooke residents will have to wait for a while.\u201cOur area will be served.as will many other areas, alter the holidays.\u201d said Dr.Reno Proulx of the community health department for the Sherbrooke region (Estrie).There were two cases of the discase in Roek Forest last week.and an 18-year-old woman died.But the death was unrclated to the other case.which affected a 42-vear-old woman.Proulx said.\u201cThere is no justification to vaccinate a whole group of people up to 20 vears old on the basis of only one case.\u201d Local health officials are fielding about 100 inquirires a day about the disease.Proulx said.Those people have been suc- cesfully reassured.\u201d he said.Coté also stressed the idea the vaccinations will he 2ivein to soothe a worried public.\u201cMore than anything.this is à preventive measure.\u201d Côte said.stressing there is no epidemic in the province and no need to panic.There have been 145 reported cases of meningitis in the province since last January.and 14 pcople died of the disease.In 1990, there were 130 cases reported.with 16 deaths.The Quebee Medical Association had recently been pushing for a mass inoculation program to avoid an outbreak similar to last winter's.Nova Scotia.New Brunswiek and Ontario are among the other provinces sponsoring inoculation programs.The carlv symptoms of bae- terial meningitis include fever.headache.nausea and vomiting \u2014 which sometimes leads physicians to confuse it with the flu.Later symptoms include a stiff neck.mental confusion.and a telltale rash.The first step in Quebec's vaccmation program will be to inoculate 150.000 people in ou- tlving regions of the province including parts of Lac-St-Jean.Montéregie (the South Shore at Montreal).the Gaspé.the lower North Shore and Kativik.The remainder.about 1.5 million people.will be

3, 1992 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial | UI changes are mean-spirited The walk across the economic tightrope is treacherous for Canadians, as the winds of recession continue to swirl.So what do the Conservatives do for workers who are trying to perform one heck of a balancing act?They poke holes in the social safety net below.As of right now, \u2014 and how's that for advance warning?\u2014 workers who quit their jobs without just cause or who get fired because of misconduct won't be able to collect benefits from the country\u2019s unemployment program.That is patently unfair.The government, in its desperate effort to chop fat away from its budget.has decided to severely limit the way the program serves Canadians.Finance Minister Don Mazankowski says the move should save the government $300 million in 1993.and around $600 million in 1994.It is understandable to look for changes to the program, which is expected to have a deficit of $6 billion this year.Workers should be prevented from abusing the system such as working at a job only long enough to ensure future unemployment benefits.y But to suddenly deprive a huge percentage of Canadian workers of their unemployment benefits is mean-spirited and «draconian.The move seems based on the assumption that there is no justifiable reason for a worker to leave a job and become unemployed.{ But it is not that simple.People leave jobs for a variety of reasons \u2014 harassment trom employers, fears for health or safety.\u2018or plain old dissatisfaction with working \u2018conditions.And what if they are fired?What does \u2018misconduct mean?The changes will lead Ito greater insecurity among workers and lan increasing need to satisfy employers at jany cost.Itis also bound to clog the system iwith people appealing decisions rendered \u2018against them.PON seem to have the same worries.No matter \u201chow satisfied the electorate is with them at any time in their terms, they can\u2019t be fired.fo ey can be voted out in an election.but «most still get their benefit package in the form of an obscenely generous life-long pension plan.They can also quit whenever they please :without just cause and get the same pen- : SION.The politicians are saying the common :people should be happy with any job.no \u2018matter how intolerable it is.Of course.it's

your sleeve.In the \"90s.you're expected to wear it on your lapel.in the form of a colored ribbon.Red.white.blue.yellow.green.black or pink.ribbons are becoming the preferred way of making a political or personal statement these days.This week's national White Ribbon campaign is meant to encourage men to protest violence against women.The second annual campaign runs until Saturday.Also this week.red ribbons were distributed to bring international attention to AIDS in conjunction with World AIDS Day on Tuesday.The red ribbons had a high profile during the past year with celebrities such as Richard Gere and Whoopi Goldberg wearing them at the Academy Awards in March.And many of the presenters and nominees at television's Emmy awards in August also wore them to raise awareness about AIDS.Roger Bullock of the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Rescarch (CANFAR).says red ribbons first became popular in May of 1991.The occasion was.of course.an awards show.VISUAL AIDS A New York group called Visual Aids made about 3.000 of them to be worn at the Tony awards for Broadway.but their significance was never explained to television viewers.But later that year at the Em- mys.actress Jamie Lee Curtis called attention to the ribbons during the broadcast.Since then.they've become as commonplace at arts and entertainment awards shows as poppies in November.The New York group chose red because the color svmbolizes blood.as well as passions such as anger and love.Red was also seen as heing \u2018cheery.available and vibrant on TV.Bullock noted.Philip Hiscock.a folklorist at Memorial University in St.John's.Nfld.savs wearing ribbons allows people a more \u201crespectable\u201d way to show their opinions than say.buttons.which were popular several years ago.\u201cPeople are concerned and they want to show their concern.So it\u2019s a very simple way of doing that.he savs.The fact that ribbons are inexpensive.casy to find.and easily attached to clothing doesn\u2019t hurt cither.WEARING EMBLEMS \u201cThe business of wearing emblems goes back a long wav.\u201d says Hiscock.He savs there are references as far back as the carly 1700s to Irishmen outside of Ireland wearing

American ambassador \u2014 taking a cue from the 1973 hit song Tie A Yellow Ribbon \u2014 put up yellow ribbons at her home in Washington as a symbol of hope for his safe return.The vellow ribbon

Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Thursday, December 3, 1992\u20145 rv ee Quitters can\u2019t choose UI any more Home buyers can\" By Eoin Kenny OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Anyone who quits a job without just cause or is dimissed because of misconduct will no longer be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, Finance Minister Don Mazankowski announced Wednesday.Nearly one third of the $8 billion in spending cuts over the next 2% years in Mazan- kowski\u2019s economic statement will directly affect 1.6 million Canadians looking for work and the the thousands considered underemployed.The finance minister expects to save $300 million next year and twice that in 1994-95 by cutting benefits to people who quit or are dismissed.Statistics Canada says almost one in five Canadians quits his or her job each year for a variety of reasons.Most are young, relatively less well educated workers who leave service sector jobs because of low pay and poor working conditions.Without unemployment insurance to fall back on whiie they look for a better position, these workers will likely stick it out until they're sure of somewhere else to go.Other changes announced Wednesday include: \u2014New businesses starting up in 1993 will pay no contributions to the uemployment insurance fund, a saving of $1.600 per employee per year.\u2014Existing firms adding staff will get a similar payroll tax holiday.\u2014Job training schemes will get a $300 million boost next year to $2.2 billion, from $1.9 billion this year.\u2014Employer and employee contributions to unemployment insurance for 1993 will be frozen at present levels.\u2014Average benefits \u2014 about $285 per week for an average of 26 weeks \u2014 are also frozen at current levels.Mazankowski said the freeze will save $550 million next year and $1 billion in 1994-95.Farmer has beef with provincial barriers By Alana Kainz Ottawa Citizen MASSON, Que.(CP) \u2014 When Queen Elizabeth visited Canada in the summer, Quebec farmer Roger Saumure\u2019s grain- fed lamb was on the Governor General's menu.But had she dined a kilometre away in Quebec, Saumure would have run smack into an interprovincial trade barrier that forbids the sale of his lamb outside Ontario.\u2018My lamb is good enough for the Queen, but not good enough for Quebeckers?\u2019\u2019 says Saumure, throwing up his arms in his noisy barn with 110 sheep.His lambs are bred and raised at Masson, 40 kilometres east of Ottawa.They are taken to the closest abattoir, which is a ferry ride across the Ottawa River in Cumberland and licensed by Ontario.Meat has a bad image REGINA (CP) \u2014 People don\u2019t enjoy shopping for meat, a survey by an arm of the Canadian Cattlemen\u2019s Association suggests.\u201cIt came through loud and clear throughout the survey that consumers are confused.\u201d Carolyn McDonell, national coordinator of the Beef Information Centre, said during a panel discussion at Agribition.\u201cThey don't know what to look for in quality and there is no one there to help them.Fifty Under the federal Meat Inspection Act, only meat cleared at a federally inspected slaughterhouse can be sold anywhere in Canada.Meat examined by provincial inspectors can\u2019t be sold outside of their province.Yet, federal and provincial inspectors both get the same training and hold the same certificates from Agriculture Canada.The closest Quebec abattoir for Saumure is a federal one 30 km away in St-Andre-Avellin.Going there cuts his profit virtually in half because of the more expensive slaughtering and packaging costs and a much higher fuel bill.not to mention the extra time needed.Aîter being in the business 10 years.Saumure will be.well, sheepish.no longer.He has collected 153 names of other frontier farmers on a petition per cent said buying meat was a game of chance.\u201d The survey was based on 900 in-home interviews in centres across the country.One way to increase sales is to revamp the supermarket beef counter, McDonell said.In addition to simply making the area cleaner and brighter \u2014 no bloody aprons or leaking packages.please \u2014 there should be clearly defined sections for convenience foods and for small portions.condemning the two-tiered system of federal and provincial inspection standards.\u201c\u201cThere\u2019s freer trade with other countries than there is between provinces right here at home,\u201d he says, easily swinging from the disposition of a lamb to a lion when he gets going on the subject.Long-suffering busines- speople like Saumure are finally seeing the issue of internal trade barriers being vaulted to the top of the political agenda.But the outlook remains bleak.Industry Minister Michael Wilson is to meet today and Friday in Toronto with his provincial counterparts to lay the groundwork after the first ministers agreed last spring to eliminate interprovincial barriers by 1995.Still, Saumure sees this as a repeat of the constitutional \u2014 survey The survey also showed consumers want information on what cuts go with which dishes and how the meat should be cooked.One reason consumption of chicken rose dramatically was the wide range of foods that processors and fast food restaurants developed, including chicken strips, nuggets and a host of microwavable dishes, said William Stevens of Cuddy International.a giant poultry processor.Farmers need Asia, expert warns GUELPH, Ont.(CP) \u2014 North American farmers will have to penetrate the Asian market heavily \u2014 and soon \u2014 if they want to survive, a leading agro- logist says.There is an intense drive for eventual self-sufficiency in countries that import food, says Dennis Avery.director of the Centre for Global Food Issues, based in Indianapolis.\u2018\u2019The Asian market is the only one left in the world (for North America\u2019s farmers).\u201d\u2019 he _said.\u2018\u201cAnd within 15 years that window of opportunity will slam shut.and we're dead if we're not inside it when it does.\u201d Indonesia recently announced it will clear 600,000 hectares of tropical forest to grow soybeans, while 20 million hectares of prime soybean land lies unused in the United States and Argentina.Avery.addressing a seminar for the Ontario Institute of Agrologists, said this is typical of the measures some Asian countries will take to be self- sufficient in food.He said North American farmers should flood the Asian market with commodities before all of Asia is self- sufficient.Avery said the Asian countries are becoming richer through trading of electronic items and other products but they still need to import food.Many are also moving-away from the traditional rice and vegetable meals and consuming more meat.Bombardier

now.\u201d says Saumure.Saumure needs to expand his income base, boost volume and whittle down costs by adding restaurants in Quebec.He's operating his farm at half- capacity.A 1991 study by the Canadian Manufactureers\u2019 Association calculated that internal barriers cost Canadians more than $6 billion a year.Interprovin- cial trade in Canada is estimated to create between $90 billion and $118 billion in economic activity each year.Saumure can take some comfort in knowing the farm sector has taken the lead in eliminating barriers.Agriculture ministers meeting two weeks ago agreed to start making it easier to move food and farm products between provinces.That would include harmonizing the country\u2019s 11 different sets of standards for grading meat which would allow Saumure to

lets them use funds from their RRSPs to purchase or build a home.Finance Minister Don Mazan- kowski said Wednesday.The government has been lobbied hard to extend the program by a housing industry damaged by the recession.Pat Verge, president-elect of the Canadian Real Estate Association, said the association hopes the program will be extended even further thana year \u2018\u2018to make housing more accessible and affordable for Canadians.\u201d John Bassel, president of the Canadian Home Builders\u2019 Association.said the program doesn\u2019t cost the government anything to extend.\u201cIt\u2019s a no- cost thing to government and it has stimulated the economy and will continue to do so.\u201d Bassel said he was disappointed.however.that the government did not reintroduce the former capital gains exemption on real estate.That was removed in the February budget.\u2018It would have been a good stimulus.\u2019 Home purchases are important to the economy because of the snowball effect they have by stimulating growth in construction, trades, and home furnishings.Under the program, RRSP money must be returned in installments over a 15-year period starting Dec.31.1995.although it can be repaid sooner.Money not paid back into the plan would become taxable the year it was due.For those making RRSP withdrawals before March 2.1993, a qualifying home must be acquired before Oct.1, 1993.For withdrawals made after March 1.1993 but before March 2.1994.a home must be acquired before Oct.1.1994.>\".% Everything has to be sacrificed at 32.1992

Living CLSCs must be used more often by English-speaking public About 100 volunteers, board members, health professionals and citizens met in Marieville on November 21 to discuss health care for anglophones in the Monteregie area.The day was organized by John Britton, coordinator of Access to services in English at the Régie Regionale de Santé et des Services Sociaux de la Monteregie (formerly the CSSSM) and several members of the Access Committee.Information was exchanged about programs and the impro- vments of services was discussed.A recurring theme of the day was how to make scare resources go further in a time of Life Shorts increasing need.Denis Lan- guay discussed his experiences as a member of the earliest Access Committee.He pointed out that a unique feature of the Monteregie\u2019s program was that the participation of each institution was backed by a resolution of its board.This committed the board to offer the English language services included in the Access Plan.DIFFICULTIES Claude Gendreau, Director of Program Planning at CLSC La Pommeraie, Farnham, spoke about the difficulties of implementing the access plans.As he pointed out, the CLSCs, front line for medical and social services, are not part of the English culture.The English community has been slow to make use of the services.Keeping in touch By Townshippers\u2019 Association When there is little demand for English services, few are provided because of the already great demands on the system.While all citizens of the area must \u201cshare the poverty,\u201d he noted that English clients must use these services or they will not be provided.As a newly elected board member of the Regie Regio- nale, the former regional council for health and social services in the Monteregie, Michael Murray, stressed the importance of finding creative ways of getting services and noted that when change happens people can affect its direction.LOCAL NEEDS He sees the decentralization of the recent Bill 120 as encouraging and a chance to redistribute resources along locally defined needs.At the lunch meeting, Michael Caluori, a social worker | By The Canadian Press MEDICINE HAT, Alta.(CP) \u2014 The goal of many parents has been for their children to go to university and find a high- paying professional job.Meanwhile, a subtle bias has been at work against the skilled trades and it is coming back to haunt business and educators, says Scotty Day, assistant director of curriculum with Alberta Education.Parents and students often don\u2019t realize it, but trades are Where the good jobs and good money are in the \u201890s, he says.Teachers take a lot of flak for the quality of high school graduates, \u201cbut I think the weakness is in the system and it relates to society\u2019s expectations,\u201d says Day.\u201cIn most of North America, parents expect their child to go to university,\u201d he adds.\u201cThat can\u2019t happen anymore \u2014 we don\u2019t need that many professional people.\u201d Day adds it\u2019s going to take a fundamental shift in attitude, not just in schools, before stu- | ESA I ED N dents start meeting the demands of business and industry.\u201cWe're sitting close to a crisis situation, in that we don\u2019t have a solid base of craftsmen in this country.\u201d Day was a guest at Partnerships In Education, a seminar held by the Medicine Hat Canada Employment Centre.The conference\u2019s aim was to show schools what kind of graduates employers want and tell businesses they can help produce those students.WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 Disabled people interested in banking careers may find doors swinging open, thanks to a program aimed at propelling the handicapped into mainstream industry.The Canadian Bankers\u2019 Association approached Red River Community College in Winnipeg and the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission two years ago to devise a program to train people with disabilities for jobs in banks.Te.remis ae \u201cWe felt it was an area of hiring where we hadn\u2019t done as well as we would have liked to,\u201d\u201d said Jim Babcock, chairman of the association\u2019s Manitoba committee.Various agencies, including the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities and Reaching E-Quality Employment Services, were consulted to provide a list of people eligible for the program.The result was a 33-week program that began in April 1992 and included classroom sessions and on-the-job training for 15 adult students chosen from referral lists.The first class has just graduated.The Bank of Montreal, Sco- tiabank, CIBC, Royal Bank and Toronto-Dominion Bank each took three students on for training.Donna Burt, manager of Winnipeg West Canada Employment Centre, said the program could be a starting point for other employers who wish to hire the disabled.KELOWNA, B.C.(CP) \u2014 Se- DED BD ES BD BBS BSI BS BIS rr nA roms ets Linda ni PE | HAPPIEFR Horpays! niors are getting

resources and getting on with providing the necessary services.RECOMMENDATIONS In the workshops, participants made the following recommendations: that more information about resource people, services and groups be made available; that the problem of geographic accessibility in a vast territory with no public transportation in many areas be addressed: that service agreements be written into the Access Plan, so that financial resources can be better allocated; that the institutions and community groups collaborate to inform the public about services; that bilingual staff be hired wherever possible and that bilingual programs be offered; and that various ministries, for example, Health and Social Services and Education, integrate related programs; that people request and use services in English.PROCEDURES Ifthey are not available, they should follow complaint procedures or use resource people, such as the Coordinator of Access to Anglophone Services or community groups like Towns- hippers\u2019.Alliance Quebec or CVESPA (the Monteregie region extends beyond the Easter Townships as far west as the Ontario border).The organizers of the day expressed the hope that this will be the beginning of smaller sub-regional meetings and initiatives to improve and coordinate services for residents of the sub-regions.English volunteers wanted: Secours-Amitie.which offers a telephone

blasts looter Dear Ann Landers: On April 30 of this year, the L.A.riots were in full swing.I was with a couple of friends and we got carried away with all the excitement.One guy suggested that we join the rest of the crowd and loot a Korean dry cleaners.The scene was incredible.There were about 20 people grabbing as much stuff as they could before the store was set on fire.That's when I saw this great leather coat hanging not two yards from me.I went to grab it and at the very same moment, \"Wanda\" reached for it, too.She was beautiful, Ann, and she 4 really wanted that coat, so I made È her a deal.She could have-it iif he * would let me take her to din We hit it off right away and I knew that night we were perfect for each other.We plan to be married next April.The problem is this: Many out- of-town family members will want to know how we met.Should we tell them the truth?Should we lie?We aren't criminals.We both work and have no police records.- BAFFLED IN LOS ANGELES DEAR BAFF: What a charming way to meet people! Here I've been suggesting church and temple affairs, volunteer groups and night school classes.You say you have no criminal record?Too bad.You should, because what you did was clearly criminal.Do you have any idea how hard those Koreans worked to open their shops?Overnight, everything they had was gone, thanks to animals like you.As for your question, sorry, pal, I'm fresh out of cover stories.Dear Ann Landers: Three years ago, my husband announced that our marriage was a mistake and he wanted a divorce.I had been supporting him while he tried to establish himself in the counseling profession.Ironically, he refused to go for counseling to save our STATE OO) marriage.He moved his things out of our home and into his parents\u2019 house.Since then, it's been one crisis after another.I hear from him or his parents almost daily.Ann Landers I received a letter from my ex- mother-in-law last week, telling me how unfair it was that her son had not gotten his share of our nice wedding gifts.She attached a two-page list of the gifts we received from her family and friends.To hawe'this thrown in my face three years after a painful divorce is extremely hurtful.As a form of therapy, I wrote this woman a scathing reply.I never intended to mail the letter, but I showed it to my family.I had decided to ignore her request and hope she gets the message, but my family is urging me to send the \"therapy\" letter, since it expresses my true feelings.What do you think about her asking me for the wedding gifts?My attorney says she has no legal claim to any of these items.Until I hear from you, Ann, everything is on hold.- PERPLEXED IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR PERPLEXED: It was tacky of your former mother-in- law to write and ask for the wedding gifts.You wrote the letter.Good.It helped get the anger out of your system.Now you can tear it up.The less garbage floating around related to your failed marriage, the better.A vitriolic response would give your ex-mother-in-law \"proof™ that you are a hot-tempered witch - and she would love to have the evidence in writing.Resist the temptation.Belated anniversary wishes Pete and Annie Lapierre whose 45th wedding anniversary was on November 25.Many more anniversary and best for the coming years.Family and friends.Happy birthday Special happy birthday to Miss Winnie Pettes a resident of Manoir Beaumont in Cowansville.She will be celebrating her 100th birthday on December 3rd.Happy Birthday Winnie!

Phillip Alder There are times when experts make abnormal plays that work brilliantly.There is someone in the back of their minds telling them that this is the moment to deviate from the textbook.Today\u2019s hand is a good example.North\u2019s three-spade rebid was a limit raise, inviting game.South, with a hand not worth an opening bid despite its 13 points, passed promptly.West led the club 10: three, ace, five.Back came the club jack: queen, king, six.Reading the club position accurately, West switched to the heart four.East won with the ace, declarer dropping the jack.Stopping to count the points, East realized there was no future in diamonds, so he returned the heart five: queen, seven, six.Not anticipating the danger, declarer finessed the spade queen.But East won with the king and played a third heart, which West ruffed to defeat the contract.Note that if West switches to the heart seven at trick three, playing high-low, declarer will foresee the potential ruff.Then he will probably play the ace and another spade, not risk the finesse.Apparently a brilliant defense.But now it is time to come clean.That was how West hoped the play would go.But he had a partner who also saw the heart four.Knowing this couldn\u2019t be from a doubleton, East returned the club four after winning with the heart ace.Now declarer could afford to take the losing spade finesse and still make his contract.The best laid schemes o\u2019 mice an\u2019 bridge experts gang aft a-gley.Readers are invited to send card-play questions to Phillip Alder, in care of this
