admitted Wednesday that the provincial utility will lose $1.5 billion in revenues by the year 2016 as a result of private contracts it has signed with Quebec\u2019s 12 aluminum refineries.However, Couture defended Hydro\u2019s private contracts with Language board: Bilingual signs okay for small businesses By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 The government should ease up on part of its language law and allow small businesses to post bilingual signs, a language advisory board said Wednesday.Language Minister Claude Ryan said he welcomed the report from the Conseil de la langue française but was tight-lipped about whether the government will follow the advice.Now, with few exceptions, all outdoor commercial signs must be in French.The sign law has been heavily criticized as a black eye for Quebec\u2019s image within Canada and abroad.Many Quebec business people have called for changes arguing that it has hurt the province\u2019s economy.\u201cI think it is preferable to have a certain number of adjustments,\u201d Ryan told a news conference.\u201cIf I didn\u2019t think that way I would have simply recommended that the government reintroduce the notwithstanding clause; it would have been much easier.\u201d Ryan asked the Conseil\u2019s opinion because the government has to decide by December whether it will again invoke the so-called notwithstanding clause of the Constitution to protect the language law from court challenges, or if it will table new legislation.\u201cWe would be quite relieved if we did not feel obliged to use the notwithstanding clause again,\u201d Ryan said.Ryan said he has discussed the sign law with Premier Robert Bourassa, who is resting at home following experimental cancer treatment.He denied there is any tension in the cabinet over the issue.Pierre-Etienne Laporte, chairman of the Conseil, said he believes easing the law would remove some of the stigma and show that Quebec \u2018\u2018wants to recognize individual freedoms.\u201d David Archer, manager of the Sir Winston Churchill pub and restaurant in downtown Montreal, said the recommendation on bilingual signs for small firms makes good business

me\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ye Battle looms over annexation try The RECORD\u2014Thursday.April 1, 1993\u20143 * Eaton Township launches bid for rural Ascot By Dan Hawaleshka SHERBROOKE \u2014 An Eaton Township council request to annex part of neighboring Ascot municipality will likely be voted down by Ascot, says a dissident member of the town council.On March 15, Eaton Township council unanimously adopted bylaw 289-93, which calls for the annexation of Range 1, 2 and part of Range 3 in Ascot.The affected area lies east of Lennoxville but does not include Alexander Galt Regional High School, the Viewpoint housing development or Hun- tingville.For the annexation to take effect, Ascot council and the Sherbrooke and Haut St- François regional municipalities (MRCs) must approve the request, which Eaton recently sent to the three parties for consideration.In an interview Wednesday Ascot Councillor Jean-Guy Landry said the town received notice of the bylaw last Monday.Landry said Ascot won\u2019t accept what Eaton Township wants to do.\u2018WILL REFUSE\u2019 \u201cMy impression, if you will, is the entire council will refuse, except me,\u201d said Landry, who represents residents in the affected area.Under municipal law, Ascot has 30 days to respond to Eaton Township, while the two MRCs have 90 days.But the annexation could go ahead even if they refuse, he added.Landry said the next step after a No from Ascot would be for residents of the affected area to sign a register endorsing the annexation at Ascot town hall.If two thirds of voters in that area support the Eaton initiative by signing up, the matter would be turned over to the Municipal Affairs Ministry, which could approve the annexation by itself, or even call a referendum of voters and land owners to be annexed, Landry said.He said he is \u201cfairly certain\u201d the merger will eventually go through.The entire process must be conducted within 45 days of Ascot\u2019s No vote.This latest development is one of several involving rural Ascot residents who feel overtaxed and under-represented by their town council.Talks have centred for months on rural Ascot splitting away from the town\u2019s urban core.EATON MAYOR Eaton Township Mavor Bertrand Landry (the two are not related) said Wednesday the annexation bylaw was deliberately put through without fanfare.\u201cIt\u2019s rare that we're talked about.\u201d Landry said.\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to make too much propaganda about that.\u201d Landry said the annexation would boost Eaton Township's evaluation role by about $31 million, bringing it close to $98 million \u2014 an increase he says is important to the financial health of the municipality.Current Eaton taxpayers would benefit because the town could save money on services such as fire protection, garbage collection and septic-tank cleaning, he said.But Gordon Barnett.president of the Rural Ascot Association, said Eaton Township may have leapl bétore it looked.\u201cIt would seem that Eaton Township has gotten ahead of itself,\u201d said Barnett.whose group promotes a separate new rural municipality instead.Barnett said several years ago rural-separatist members of the lobby group Action Rural Democratique proposed forming a rural municipality.That was refused by Municipal Affairs.However the Quebec Citizen's Protector recently ruled that Quebec\u2019s refusal was improper.As a result, Barnett said.the original proposal stands ahead of the Eaton bylaw in the line waiting for word from Municipal Affairs.\u201cTherefore the dossier is still alive and the government has not responded to it,\u201d Barnett said.Bertrand Landry.Eaton kept an- ced i alow 4 $0 a MEO nexation bid quiet.Municipalities take over Quebec roads today : By Shawn Apel SHERBROOKE

city councillor and Intercultural Week honorary president Lise Drouin-Paquette announced the opening of a bank of interpreters to help immigrants wend their ways through the various community organizations in the area.The bank\u2019s 25 interpreters speak Bulgarian, Cambodian, Spanish, Hindu, Laotian, Romanian, Russian, Vietnamese and Serbo-Croat.The interpreters are also familiar with provincial labor rules and how to handle different situations.Interpreters and other services will be available almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to a statement from the city.The Service d\u2019aide aux Néo- Canadiens will operate the service during the week.For community organizations offering services after 4:30 p.m.and on weekends, the service is accessible through city police.The arrangement is part of a Service d'aide aux Néo- Canadiens contract with community groups and other organizations who agreed last week to offer the services to immigrants.Included in the contract is the city, CLSC-SOC, l\u2019Escale Estrie, Centre Travail Québec, and the Ministry of Cultural Communities and Immigration.More groups are expected to join.Information sessions will be offered soon for employers on the service and on the customs and traditions of various choice.They knew the province would retain control of only certain main highways in each area, leaving the secondary routes \u2014 about 50 per cent of all roads in the province \u2014 to them.The new responsibility brings with it some uncertainty.It remains to be seen how much the new bills will hurt, and how complicated the new task of maintaining the roads will be.But Transport Quebec spokeswoman Nathalie Lamou- reux said Wednesday the province is leaving municipalities in a fairly good position to take over.PREPARING \u201cPeople have been preparing for a while,\u201d Lamoureux said.\u201cThere has been some training, and we\u2019ve sent them all the information they need.\u201d \u201cIt won\u2019t be too complicated,\u201d she said., But even Lamoureux admitted things weren\u2019t exactly simple, as she explained how the changes will affect one stretch of road several kilometres long.The Bourque Boulevard section of Route 112 is classified as a secondary highway because it runs alongside Autoroute 10.Bourque is now the responsibility of the towns it passes cultures.The bank is also the result of collaboration between the Service d\u2019aide aux Néo- Canadiens, CLSC-SOC, the Régie régionale de la santé et des services sociaux, CLSC Gaston Lessard, the Ministry of Cultural Communities and Immigration, the city of Sherbrooke, the municipal and provincial police forces, the Centre for Immigrant Women, and Escale Estrie.They make up the Work Group on Cultural Communities,

administration Wednesday they didn\u2019t agree with the policy, Grant said.No disciplinary action was taken against the students, she said.The students said they will demonstrate again during their breaks Thursday, and will continue to protest until they win.Students told reporters they want a special smoking area on the grounds \u2014 whether inside the school or in a separate building.They

Fleurimont and other towns are now in charge of the road, which was previously maintained by the province.And that\u2019s despite the insistence as late as last week by Rock Forest Mayor Betrand Delisle that 112 is too big to be labelled a secondary road.But \u2014 as an example of how things can get complicated \u2014 Lamoureux said Quebec remains responsible for 112 when it crosses the St.Francis River in Sherbrooke, because that tiny stretch is classed as the primary north-south route in the area.In the Sherbrooke area Quebec is now in charge of only 700 of the 2100 kilometres it used to look after.PROVINCE WILL HELP Under an intricate formula devised by the province, municipalities will be expected to raise taxes by about 14 cents per $100 of evaluation to cover their new expenses.The province has promised to use three separate funds to subsidize towns that have to spend more than that on roads.Raymond Breton, mayor of .Marbleton and president of the : Estrie council of regional municipalities (MRCs).said municipalities have made arrange- * ments in their budgets and are generally prepared.\u201cI\u2019m not sure all are ready at the same level,\u201d Breton said, \u201c adding that municipalities will have to co-ordinate efforts to \u2018 make sure road quality is» eT maintained on longer routes.He added they'd be wise to unite to gain purchasing power \u2018\u2018 for products such as the chemicals needed to treat gravel - roads.Breton also hoped the province will make specialists available to provide technical \u201c- expertise needed to repair

Tolerance seems to have certain limits The Quebec government and the people who advise it on the sign laws seemed Wednesday quite like some teenagers who roam high school halls making fun of other children.They weren't all that worried about the nature of their actions, but they desperately wanted to avoid being embarrassed.Pierre-Etienne Laporte, the president of the Conseil de la langue francaise, handed _ over to the provincial government some long-awaited recommendations on possible changes to Quebec\u2019s language laws.The so-called compromises \u2014 chiefly the right to post bilingual signs on smaller storefronts \u2014 didn\u2019t seem to make many anglophones happy.Even Laporte admitted that compromise is planned so the government won't have to again invoke the notwithstanding \" clause in response to court rulings that it is ~ violating individual rights.Later in the day, Language Minister Claude Ryan said basically the same thing.The modification to the sign law would prevent Quebec from having to use the notwithstanding clause again, and would generally save it the embarassment it has suffered in Canada and abroad, he said.It\u2019s funny.Quebecers seem determined to be viewed as tolerant people.But tolerance of a linguistic minority in Quebec has certain limits, it appears.For instance, the Conseil said Quebec shouldn\u2019t relax the law to allow English- speaking immigrants to send their children to English schools.Ryan said last week he saw no reason to change the law anyway, despite the assertion in last year\u2019s Chambers\u2019 Report that the change is crucial to the survival of the English school system.Quebecers are proud of the defence system they have developed to protect the \u201c French language in the great sea of English that is North America.They point to France with derision, saying that country is being suffocated by English.And they should be proud.But they should be motivated as well by a sense of decency, not just a desire to avoid embarrassment.SHAWN APEL Prof: Canada still safe place to live By Glenn Cheater WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 It's criminal how the media report crime in this country, according to a University of Winnipeg criminologist.\u2018The Canadian press seems absolutely bent on creating a climate of fear in which crime is always rising and rising.\u201d Doug Skoog said Wednesday.\u201cPeople turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper and think this is a dangerous country.This is one of the safest countries in the world.\u201d Skoog\u2019s view isn't disputed by Statistics Canada.even though its figures suggest crime is on the rise.For example, recent findings by the agency indicate that the overall crime rate rose by nine per cent in 1991 compared with the previous year and that violent crime among youth doubled between 1986 and 1991.But that may be more a reflection of the criminal justice system than Canadian society.said Robert Allen.a senior analyst in the agency's crime statistics division.A rising crime rate does not necessarily mean there is more criminal activity.\u201cIt depends on whether it's a new crime or a crime that was already there.\u2019 he said.Many crimes that once went unreported are now investigated by police.both men said.Some crimes, such as domestic assault, result in charges more frequently now than in the past, and that has inflated the overall violent erime rate, both Skoog and Allan noted.\u201cOfficial statistics are based on the willingness of people to report crime.\u201d said Skoog.\u2018All we get is what the police The numbers speak: By The Canadian Press Crime in Canada as measured by Statistics Canada: NUMBER: 3.2 million in 1990 including 1.6 million property crimes and 270,000 violent crimes.TREND: Increasing.After adjusting for population growth.crime increased by 2% times between 1962 and 1990.EXCEPTIONS: The murder rate peaked in the mid 1970s while robberies decreased by about two per cent annually during 1980s.CRITICISM: Higher rates are partly attributable to more people reporting crimes such as domestic and sexual assault.QUOTE: \u2018Sure, there\u2019s a perception on the streets (that crime is rising) because the mass media has created that perception.These people that have this perception aren't victims of violent crime, they're victims of the mass media.\u201d \u2014 University of Winnipeg criminologist Doug Skoog.report.\u201d added Allen.But those factors don\u2019t play a role in the murder rate and that makes it the most reliable indicator of serious crime, said Skoog.He noted Canada\u2019s homicide rate has been falling since the mid 70s.Many Canadians appear to overestimate the amount of violent crime in Canada.said Allen.For example: \u2018\u2018There were more murders in L.A.last year that in all of Canada.\u201d said Allen.There were 753 cases of murder and manslaughter in Canada in 1991 compared 1,039 in Los An- geles.The U.S.had over 24.000 homicides in the same year \u2014 four times the Canadian rate and the worst among developed nations.But a recent federal report suggests many Canadians live in fear of violent crime.It said 55 per cent of women and 11 per cent of men are afraid to walk alone in their neighborhood after dark.\u2018I think this creating a climate of fear.only produces fear and not much else.\u201d said Skoog.\u201cIf it led to something positive.that would be great but I think all that happens is people sit around and worry.\u201d And while Skoog argues that Canadians should be enjoying the relative lack of crime in their society, Allen suggests they might also want to think about cashing in on it.Many companies who are considering expanding or relocating contact the agency to find out what the crime rates for various cities are, he said.À low crime rate \u2018\u2018is a selling point for bringing businesses to a city,\u201d he said.Was she chewing gum too?BRANTFORD,

in Re- velstoke, B.C.: I am tired of being told by the media that conservationists, preservationists, or those who + disagree with hunting live only in the larger ur- .ban areas.Some of us who choose to live in Revelstoke and smaller communities do so because we value na- : ture \u2014 intact, living and undisturbed.Nor is this exactly a new viewpoint, though it seems to be presented by the media as being against the good old traditions.In 1858, Henry David Thoreau expressed it most .aptly: $6 .How base or coarse are the motives , which commonly carry men into the wildernes- :s .For one that comes with a pencil to : sketch or sing, a thousand come with an axe or : rifle.\u201cNo humans being past the thoughtless age of : boyhood will wantonly murder any creature * which holds its life by the same tenure that he .does.Every creature is better alive than dead, - men and moose and pine trees, and he who under- : stands it aright will rather preserve life than des- : troy it.\u201d

quite clear whether Allan Lamport is better known for his zealous sense of civic duty or for his wild way with words.\u201cLet's jump off that bridge when we come to it,\u201d he once said.Lamport rivalled baseball manager Yogi Berra for his malapropisms during a 36-year political career that included three terms as Toronto's mayor.Lamport, who celebrates his 90th birthday Sunday, was once described as never finishing a sentence, but abandoning it.Over the years, his grammatical gyrations have delighted friends and frustrated foes.One day in 1964 he was railing against another mayor.the late William Dennison, who had proposed building birth-control clinics in Toronto.In Lamport\u2019s words they were to provide \u2018\u201ccounter-ceptives.\u2019\u201d\u2019 And he wanted no part of them.\u201cChildren have suffered from it, if they are born,\u201d Lamport observed, adding: \u201cWhere is this city going to go, in principle.if it weren't for the families.\u201d Another time he told a colleague: \u201cIf you get into any trouble, let me know and I'll get into it with you.\u201d During his years in politics, Lamport served Toronto as an alderman, controller and mayor.He was also a Liberal member of the Ontario legislature for one term and served on various commissions and hospital boards.In all that time, he stood for the little guy and in so doing antagonized the high and mighty, including the city\u2019s churches and Toronto\u2019s three daily newspapers.all of which opposed Lamport\u2019s one-man crusade for sports on Sundays.He won, finally, in 1950, despite the churches and the newspapers.\u201cI claimed there was a dollar sign on it,\u201d said Lamport, who was first elected mayor that year.\u201cIwas alone.No one was with me.Not one incumbent candidate would vote for Sunday sport.\u2018They were against me and I knocked them out of the ball park.\u201d In the 1940s, Lamport also stood alone in bringing liquor to Toronto.\u201cWe were sending carloads of anguage people to Buffalo when we were dry.My argument \u2014 and I stood alone at council on this one \u2014 was that you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in the world.\u201cWhen the Second World War was over you had to realize that a lot of things changed.We had to grow up.If we can\u2019t handle liquor, then, for heaven's sake, we better well learn how.\u201d Lamport credits exercise and good health habits for his longevity.\u201cYou have to take care of yourself,\u201d he said.*\u2018There\u2019s nothing fancy about life \u2014 it\u2019s simple.\u201d \"All the earmarks

Business Lawyers say there\u2019s no panic Charters would fly in for Nationair By Felicity Munn MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Holding a Nationair ticket?Don\u2019t panic.If the troubled airline folds, travellers might be inconvenienced but are otherwise legally protected, legal experts say.And there might not even be all that much inconvenience.Industry sources say tour operators who have contracts with Nationair are quietly preparing alternative arrangements in case the carrier goes under.There is ample charter capacity to take up the slack because spring is a slow travel season.In fact, Adventure Tours of Toronto issued a statement Wednesday saying it will arrange transportation on other carriers in the event Nationair ceases operations.\u2018\u201c\u201cWe do not anticipate any

OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A study shows brand-name medicines are consistently priced higher in Canada than in other countries and the NDP wants a government inquiry to find out why.A study by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board found the prices of 56 per cent of the 124 patented drugs introduced in Canada in 1990 and 1991 were higher in Canada than the median international price.The study found 105 of Canada\u2019s 177 top-selling prescription drugs were priced above \u2018\u2018Nationair continues to assure us that they will operate the flights which we have contracted and until this situation changes we are contractually obliged to continue these arrangements.\u201d Joanne Gagnon, spokesman for Royal Airlines, a Montreal- based charter carrier, said the airline has had discussions with several tour operators, but nothing is firm unless Na- tionair ceases to operate.\u2018\u201c\u201cWe could help, that\u2019s for sure, because we have the capacity and it\u2019s the low season,\u201d she said.Other charter airlines that could fly to the rescue include Canada 3000 and Air Transat.In any event, consumers in both Quebec and Ontario are protected by law when a charter airline folds.In particular, people are safe if they\u2019re flying Nationair as part of a travel package purchased from a tour operator.Paul Unterberg, a Montreal lawyer who is one of a

tour operator\u2019s responsibility to find a substitute.\u201d However, the law is not so clear in cases where tour operators sell air-only tickets, Un- terberg said.So people who have purchased air-only tickets for travel on Nationair might or might not have a claim against the tour operator.Quebec consumers booked to fly Nationair\u2019s scheduled services between Montreal and Brussels would not be protected financially, he said.But if the ticket was purchased at a registered Ontario travel agency, the consumer would be eligible for a refund.Michael Pepper, who as Ontario\u2019s travel registrar heads up the province\u2019s travel compensation fund, said that if Nationair folds, travellers should go back to their travel \u2018\u201cSomething is wrong here.\u201d But Health Minister Benoit Bouchard said overall drug prices have been dropping in Canada since the government first began extending patent protection in 1987.The prices of drugs under the jurisdiction of the review board increased by 2.6 per cent less than the rate of inflation in 1991, he said.That compares with prices running at 7.9 per cent more than the rate of inflation in 1987, he said.But the board

(CP) \u2014 Canada\u2019s largest pension fund, the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, generated net income of $3 billion last year and increased its portfolio to $41.3 billion.However, the agency which invests public money from the Quebec Pension Plan, wasn\u2019t entirely happy with its performance in 1992 \u2014 because it was down $743 million from the year before.4 \u201cThese results are satisfactory,\u201d said chairman Jean- Claude Delorme tersely at a press briefing after the results were tabled.\u201cLast year was supposed to be a year of recovery for the Canadian economy, but instead it turned out to be a very anemic period.Our earnings reflected that gloomy situation.\u201d The Caisse invests in stocks, bonds and real estate in Quebec, Canada and other parts of the world.It is considered one of the most sophisticated pools of capital in North America by many investment analysts.But it was hit by lower returns in 1992.For example, the return on investment overall on the Caisse\u2019s $41.3-billion fund was 4.5 per cent.That was a substantial drop from the return on investment of 17.2 per cent in 1991.Job OffErs The Record and Canada Employment Centres

avert trouble \u2014 mailman By Peter Boisseau The Canadian Press Scientists say this spring\u2019s abnormally thin ozone layer and intense cancer-causing UV solar rays are a sample of things to come that will linger into summer.The protective ozone layer which surrounds the earth and blocks out ultraviolet rays will likely be 10 to 15 per cent thinner than average this summer over the Northern Hemisphere, researchers predict.That could mean 12 to 19 per cent more UV rays \u2014 a broad spectrum which can cause everything from cancer to crop damage.\u201cIt\u2019s like someone took you from where you're living now and moved you 500 kilometres south.\u201d says Jim Kerr of Environment Canada.The ozone layer is naturally thinner in the summer.allowing more UV light to penetrate the atmosphere.\u2018\u201cWe've seen record low ozone days in winter and spring.\u2019 says Kerr.\u201cThe question we have to ask is will we see record low ozones in summer, and that\u2019s a concern because it may be an extreme day when people go out and get sunburned.\u201d Scientists say chlorofluorocarbons \u2014 CFCs \u2014 have combined with arctic ice clouds and gas from the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption in the Philippines to cause unusual ozone thinning.The ice clouds and volcanic gas react with the ozone- destroying chlorine molecules from the CFCs, artificial compounds widely used in air conditioners and refrigerators.\u201cWe've set up a situation where the variability of the weather or volcanoes matters a lot more because we've managed to make the ozone so fragile,\u201d says Phil Austin, an atmospheric scientist at the University of British Columbia.\u201cWe've just erased our buffer, essentially.\u201d Because it takes CFCs five to 10 years to reach the upper atmosphere, experts say even an immediate ban on their use would not stop the ozone problem from getting worse before it gets better.That worries Wayne Evans, an atmospheric scientist at Trent University in Peterbo- rough, Ont.\u201cWe had been predicting that by the year 2020 the ozone layer would be 10 per cent thinner.It\u2019s 15 per cent already.\u201d despite what Evans calls remarkable international cooperation in moving to eliminate CFC use.\u2018\u201cYou can see what the concern is.\u201d While scientists expect a slight ozone-layer recovery when the ice clouds and volcanic gas disperse, they agree that thinning ozone is the shape of things to come.Says Evans: \u201cWe're getting a preview of the year 2000 this spring.\u201d Avoiding sun offers best protection By Peter Boisseau The Canadian Press Chemical concoctions are all fine and well, but doctors are counting on persuasion to protect Canadians from overexposure to ultraviolet solar radiation.\u201cWhat we're trying to do is to tell people not to get too much sun,\u201d says Dr.David Gratton of the Canadian Dermatology Association.\u2018\u201cTo restructure their lifestyles so they\u2019re not going out when the sun is bad.To play golf earlier, to wear floppy hats, to wear a shirt on the beach unless they\u2019re going in the water,\u201d Gratton says.« \u201cWe\u2019re promoting behavior modification instead of sunscreens.\u201d Life Shorts As the ozone layer that filters out UV rays continues to get thinner because of chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons, persuading people to change their habits will be even more important.The rate of skin cancer among Canadians went up 160 per cent between 1970 and 1988, says Health and Welfare Canada.The mortality rate went up 51 per cent.\u201cDamage from the sun is long-term,\u201d says Gratton.\u201cThe skin cancers we're seeing now (date) from the 70s and '80s.\u201d More cancers are also being caught earlier because people have become more aware of the problem through highly publicized cases such as that of By The Canadian Press WATERLOO, Ont.(CP) \u2014 A University of Waterloo professor is using baseball statistics to dispute a theory that left- handed people die earlier than right-handers.Harry Panjer, an actuarial scientist, analysed baseball player data from the Baseball Encyclopedia to conclude that no statistically significant differences exist in mortality between lefties and righties.Panjer\u2019s study contradicts a previous report by American psychologists Diane Halpern and Stanley Coren that concluded the life expectancy for southpaws was nine years less than for right-handers.: But Panjer says that study was \u2018extremely flawed.\u201d + It failed to take into account improving mortality rates over the last century, differing levels of mortality in handedness by sex and the increasing proportion of left-handers in the population, he said.PENTICTON, B.C.(CP) \u2014 - Chris Henderson knows tea.\u20ac For the last 78 years, she has downed eight cups a day.That works out to 227,760 cups over the years.\u201cI started drinking tea when I was about five years old, with permission, and I\u2019ve never stopped,\u2019 said Henderson, who hails from Scotland and drinks her tea straight.Henderson and eight other die-hard tea drinkers were recently asked to test instant tea granules of two rival brands, Lyons Tetley and Red Rose.The verdict?Tetley tea came out first, five to three, with one abstaining.\u201cI'm not fussy on this one,\u201d she said of the Red Rose.\u2018But it\u2019s better than the other one.\u201d All Ladies\u2019 Spring Coats & Jackets our regular low prices until Saturday only on the Main Floor.the Ladies\u2019 Mezzanine, A the NAC &

UVBs, which cause sunburns and cancer; and UVC, which are deadly and do not reach the earth.UVA rays \u2014 which cause wrinkles, skin aging and disease \u2014 are also suspected of helping UVB promote cancer, says Gratton.The sun protection factor, or SPF, listed on sunscreens.is a measure of how much time it will take UVB rays to burn the skin once you have applied it.But there is only slightly more protection from sunscreens above SPF 15.SPF 30, for example, blocks only three per cent more UV.\u201cFifteen is good enough for Community most people most of the time,\u201d says Gratton.\u201cYou can go up to 56.That\u2019s for a small percentage of people who need almost total block\u2019 because of skin diseases or allergies.\u201cIt\u2019s also for people who like big numbers because pscholo- gically they feel more protected.\u201d Increased UV also poses a hazard to eyes.says Hubert Drouin of the Canadian Oph- thalmological Society.Sunglasses are not \u2018\u2018just to look cool,\u201d says Drouin.\u2018\u201cOur concern is that the sunglasses do what they\u2019re supposed to do.\u201d Drouin says most opticians are equipped to test glasses for

3rd Floor Free parking token with purchase Dear Ann Landers: I am an overnight package delivery man.I often have problems delivering packages because people don't have their homes and mailboxes marked.Instead of names and numbers which are essential for delivery people, they have fancy designs or decals of fruit or animals, or there are vines growing all over the box, which may look charming but are a nuisance to us.When there is no name or number, we have to take the package back to the terminal, make a phone call, get directions and try again.There's a more important reason people should have their names and addresses clearly visible on homes and mailboxes.Listen to this: A while back, I noticed that on a 1-mile stretch of road, every house had a name and number on it.When I commented about this rarity to a homeowner, she informed me that two years before, an elderly couple had lived on that street.When the man had a heart attack, his wife called 911.Paramedics responded immediately but couldn't locate the house.Finally, they found it when his wife went outside, panic-stricken, to flag them down.Her husband died on the way to the hospital.No one will ever know if those precious wasted minutes would have saved the man's life.When word of that tragic incident got around the community, every- One went out and put numbers on their houses and mailboxes.Please tell

understood in a few minutes and rarely learned in a lifetime.\u201d Roll call: \u201cBring clippings about education and any suggestions how the system can be improved\u201d.This prompted some very intense discussion on the need for a return to the more basic concepts of education and the need for students to be taught to have more respect for their teachers.There was also a recognition of the fact that teachers have a very difficult job to do given the number of students and the violence in the schools.Mrs.Thelma Do- herty, Education convenor, read an article entitled \u201cCanadian Teachers - Their Work and Quality of Life\u201d.This was the report of a study conducted by Queen\u2019s University published in The Sentinel.Among the findings in this article it was stated that 77% of teachers feel they do not have time to give students the additional help they require.Two-thirds of Canadian teachers are involved in extra-curricular activities and 44% of Quebec teachers feel they are respected while 16% of Quebec teachers feel physically threatened.The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.The treasurer reported a satisfactory bank balance.Mrs.Pearle Yates reminded the members that a report on the Life Memberships given to Jane Greig and Ruby Sherrer had to be prepared for the County Convention.Mrs.Helene Dubuc, president of the Quebec Quilting

our perceptions change as we grow older.Environment: Agnes Greig read about a petrochemical plant being built at Bécancour without being approved by environmental hearings.This plant will use high volumes of benzene, a known carcinogen and will almost certainly increase water and air pollution and the risk of oil spills in the St.Lawrence.The April 2nd meeting will be held at the home of Joyce and Elda Martin at 1:00 p.m.The meeting closed with the W.1.grace, after which tea, served by the hostess, assisted by Dorothy Clark and Helen Damant was enjoyed by all.CLEVELAND \u2014 Members of the

Bishop\u2019s University honored two graduating students with \u2019 athlete-of-the-year awards Wednesday evening in a ceremony marking the achievements of several varsity athletes.Women\u2019s basketball MVP and league-leading scorer Alice Hartling was named female athlete of the year, while Gaiters cornerback and CFL first-round draft choice Tom peg Alice Hartling, Tom Europe and Nick Clapinson show off their hardware with CFL commissioner Larry Smith = Europe picked up top male athlete honors.\u201cIt was a wonderful surprise and I feel very fortunate to be in this position,\u201d said Hartling, who led the four-team Quebec University Basketball League in scoring with 16.3 points per game.The native of Windsor, N.S., was one of the few bright spots during the Bishop\u2019s women\u2019s 0- 12 season.She was named to the McGill Invitational tourna- at Bishop\u2019s University awards night Wednesday.ment all-star team and was the Lady Gaiters MVP for the second year in a

four interceptions for the Gaiters.including an OQIFC record 111-yard touch- RECORD/PERRY BEATON down return.In addition to the top male athlete award, Europe was named to the OQIFC all- conference first-string all-star team and was a CIAU first- team all-Canadian.He was also awarded the Jim Etchever- ry Memorial Award for combining outstanding football ability and academic excellence and the Harry Jerome Citizenship award.The latter award is presented by the Black Business and Professional Association for outstanding young black people showing excellence in achievement and a positive role model in their community.Europe was chosen seventh over-all in the CFL draft and will report to the B.C.Lions training camp this spring.\u201cIt\u2019s been a great year,\u201d Europe said.\u201cOne of my goals starting out here was to play in the CFL, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting the chance to play.\u201d The Ray Almond award for most unselfish contribution to athletics at the university went to 22-year-old rugby player Nick Clapinson.The 22-year-old philosophy major guided the rugby team to the provincial championship, filling a void created when faculty representative in charge of rugby Bill Robson went on sabbatical.Claspinson has earned a tryout on the Canadian national rugby team.Sundin sends Nords to second place By Bill Beacon MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Mats Sundin scored a goal and set up three more as the Quebec Nordiques defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-2 and tightened the race for first place in the NHL Adams Division on Wednesday night.The Nordiques moved ahead of idle Boston into second place, two points beind Montreal with a game in hand.Scott Young, with two, Mike Hough, Martin Rucinsky and Mike Ricci also scored for Quebec, which won its season series with the rival Canadiens four games to three, including victories in all three matches played in Montreal.John LeClair scored twice in the second period for the faltering Canadiens, who have won only five of their last 12 games.The Nordiques, who won their third game in a row, end a three-game road trip tonight in Ottawa.Montreal outshot Quebec 33- 25, but the Nordiques made the most of their breaks in scoring three times in the first period.Young slammed Joe Sakic\u2019s rebound on a power play past Patrick Roy 8:27 into the game.Hough finished a two-on-one with Sundin at 16:56 and Ricci scored on a behind-the-back deflection of Claude Lapointe\u2019s shot at 18:31.After killing off a five-minute high-sticking penalty to Patrice Brisebois, who was ejected for his accidental poke at Andrei Kovalenko, the Canadiens dominated the second pe- Russian hurdler gets four-year suspension LONDON (AP) \u2014 Track\u2019s world body confirmed a four-year ban on Russian Lyudmila Narozhilekno, the world 100-metre hurdles champion who tested positive for anabolic steroids at a meet in Lievin, France, in February.Jayne Pearce of the International Amateur Athletic Federation said today that the ban has been imposed pending a hearing by the Russian Federation in case the runner decides to appeal.Narozhilenko tested positive after she matched her world indoor record in Lievin on Feb.13.Since then she has broken the mark three times.John Ngugi, a former world cross-country champion, also faces a four-year suspension for refusing to take a drug test, Pearce said.However the IAAF is waiting to receive an official report from Kenya\u2019s track federation.An IAAF drug-testing team visited the former five-time titlist, who also won the 5,000-metre gold medal in the Seoul Olympics in 1988, at his home in early March.The team said Ngugi refused to submit to the test, while the runner said the IAAF officials failed to identify themselves correctly.riod.LeClair beat Ron Hextall with a low blast from the left side at 6:57 and then outmus- cled the Quebec defence and swept in his 19th of the season from the edge of the crease at 9:27.However, Hough picked the puck out of the air on his way out of the penalty box and fed Sundin for his 42nd goal on a two-on-one with 27 seconds left in the period.Montreal pressed hard in the third period but couldn\u2019t beat a sharp Hextall before Young stole the puck from Eric Desjardins, went in alone and scored at 13:03.Rucinsky put the game away with a goal at 15:57.A full house of 17,959 was announced and Molson Breweries, which owns the Canadiens, took advantage of the intense interest in the game to begin a marketing campaign for a new brand ominously called Black Ice beer.A moment\u2019s silence was observed before the game for Claude Mouton, 61, the Canadiens\u2019 public address announcer of the last two decades who died Tuesday of pancreatic cancer.He was replaced at the microphone by his understudy, Marcel Belanger.Maple Leafs 5 Kings 5 TORONTO (CP) \u2014 After ac- cidently scoring into his own net to give Los Angeles the lead early in the third period, Doug Gilmour set up Nikolai Bors- chevsky for the tying goal at 14:31 of the third period in a 5-5 draw Wednesday night between the Maple Leafs and the Kings.The Kings thought they had the winner with 64 seconds left in overtime on a backhander by Mike Donnelly.But play continued to the end of the extra period without a whistle and a subsequent replay of Donnel- ly\u2019s shot showed the puck slipping past Felix Potvin and landing on the goal-line before being cleared away by the Toronto goalie.Gilmour accidently deflected Jari Kurri\u2019s harmless shot into his own net at 6:13 of the third to give the Kings a 5-4 lead.But his third assist of the game caught his fleet-footed Russian teammate at full throttle and Borschevsky sent a wrist shot into the top left corner for his 34rd goal.Sabres 5 Devils 2 BUFFALO, N.Y.(AP) \u2014 Pat LaFontaine had a four-point game to retake the NHL's scoring lead as the Buffalo Sabres beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 Wednesday night.LaFontaine, who had a goal and three assists, improved his total to 142 points, one more than Pittsburgh\u2019s Mario Le- mieux.The Penguins were idle Wednesday night.Dale Hawerchuk scored two power-play goals, both set up by LaFontaine, and added an assist for the Sabres, who also got goals from Alexander Mo- gilny and Yuri Khmylev.Mo- gilny\u2019s goal was his league- leading 74th of the season.New Jersey, which lost for only the second time in its last six games, got goals from John MacLean and Bruce Driver.LATE GAME North Stars at Oilers Knights give Rhéaume the green light ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Manon Rhéaume is going to her chance to shine.Gene Ubriaco, coach of the Atlanta Knights, said Wednesday that Rhéaume will start an International Hockey League game at home, either April 10 or 11, to close out the season.\u2018\u201cWe hadn't intended on doing this, but she\u2019s doing so well and the team was in a position to learn more about how she\u2019s doing,\u201d he said.\u201cWe're going to take advantage of it.\u201d The two final games won't affect the standings in the Atlantic Division, where the Knights have already clinched the title.Rhéaume, the only female professional hockey player, has worked mostly as a practice goalie for the Knights this Manon Rhéaume: will finally get chance year.The native of Lac-Beauport played one period of an NHL exhibition last fall for the Tampa Bay Lightning.parent club of the Knights.She allowed two goals on nine shots.The five-foot-six, 135-pound goalie later signed a three-year deal with the Knights and became the first woman to play in aregular-season game Dec.13, yielding one goal on four shots in five minutes 49 seconds of work.A crowd of 9.027 gave her a standing ovation at the time, and Ubriaco left a note on her locker: \u201cHave a cigar.Now you're one of the boys.\u201d \u201cI'm very much looking forward to having the chance\u201d to start, she said recently.Ubriaco said he hopes Rhéaume can play regularly next year, whether for the Knights or another Tampa Bay farm club.\"We want to see where she is sO we can evaluate and see where she can play the next year,\u201d he said.\u2018She has to play more games.\u201d Rhéaume was originally signed for a tryout for the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning after becoming the first woman to play in a Major Junior hockey game, playing in partof one game for Trois-Rivières of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.She also helped backstop Canada to the gold medal in the women's world hockey championship last year.She got two shutouts in three games during that championship.Rhéaume also did color

their butts,\u201d Smith said in an interview prior to his appearance at Bishop's University\u2019s annual awards night.Later, the Bishop\u2019s alumnus said Canadian players have nothing to fear with the league\u2019s expansion to the U.S.\u201cI\u2019m tired of hearing that Canadians can\u2019t play football,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s consistent with the inferiority complex built into the fabric of this country.Just watch Calgary play against Sacramento.\u201d Sacramento Gold Miners officials could not be reached for comment.Under existing rules, CFL teams may keep a maximum 14 imports and 20 non-imports, plus three quarterbacks of any citizenship.But when the CFL\u2019s only American franchise takes to the field for the first time this year, they will be able to field as many American players as they wish.The CFL can\u2019t impose its Canadian player quotas because it would go against U.S.immigration laws.Smith added the league hopes to install a quota system intwo years requiring teams to field atleast seven to 10 players from their respective geographical area.Smith also denied the new CFL franchise would be ignored in the Sacramento area.Sacramento Bee sports

beyond the season opener in Ottawa.Smith said that reflects the typical negative opinion of one newspaper.\u201cI\u2019ve done 15 or 20 radio .shows in the last 30 to 45 days in the area,\u201d Smith said, \u201cand I'm not getting the same reading.\u201d He added the league has helped the team set up sponsorship deals and predicts between 10,000 and 12,000 season tickets will be sold for the - first year.With only one major .league sports team (the NBA Sacramento Kings) Smith said the city of one million inhabitants is ripe for another.\u201cI don\u2019t share the same pessimism as

4-2 quarter-final playoff win over : Chicoutimi Tuesday night at the Sports Palace.Coach Guy Chouinard said results of x-rays and a CAT-scan taken Wednesday showed no sign of bone fracture, but Nadeau will still sit out the fourth game of the series Friday night in Chicou- timi.\u201cWe naturally don\u2019t want to play with his health.\u201d Chouinard said, adding Tuesday night\u2019s mishap gave Nadeau his second concussion this season.The first was last November after he was checked from behind in a game against Hull.\u201cThe best thing would be for us to win Friday to give him lots of rest,\u201d Chouinard said.\u201cI don\u2019t think the (Drummondville\u2014Victo- riaville) series will end soon.\u201d The Faucons have a 3-0 stranglehold on their series and could end it with a win Friday.Should the Faucons lose Friday, Chouinard said doctors will re-examine Nadeau Sunday to determine whether he can play in the fifth game that evening.The Drummondville Voltigeurs, meanwhile, beat the Victoriaville Tigres 5-4 Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the other Dilio division quarter-final series.Those teams resume play Friday in Drummondville.y 12\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday,
