Premier Jacques Parizeau has issued an ominous warning about the upcoming referendum: a rejection of independence based on the votes of the English-speaking minority could be dangerous.Pierre Bourgault, who has been a major figure in the separatist movement for the last 35 years, warned of a volatile situation if anglophones frustrate French-speaking Quebecers\u2019 will to separate from Canada.\u201cIf a vast majority of franco- Quebecers vote Yes and are prevented from doing it because the English vote against, then it's a dangerous situation,\u201d Bourgault said in a recent interview.He refused to elaborate on what he means by a dangerous situation.\u201cIt\u2019s not difficult to understand.Do I have to explain it to you?\u201d Bourgault, 60, renowned for his fiery speech-making, issued gimilar threats before the failed 980 sovereignty-association referendum, In a 1979 speech, he said Quebec could be brought to \u201cthe brink of civil war\u201d if the English- speaking minority stopped francophone Quebecers from achieving independence.Separatists say they need 50 per cent of the vote plus one vote to win the referendum and proceed with the secession of Quebec from the Canadian federation.The French-speaking majority represents about 82 per cent of Quebec\u2019s seven million people, compared with 10 per cent who are English-speaking and about eight per cent who speak other languages.The English and ethnic minorities have proven over the years to be staunchly opposed to separation.The No side won the 1980 referendum by a margin of 60 to 40 but only a bare majority of francophones voted No.Two years ago, Parizeau landed in hot water when he said \u201cold-stock\u201c francophones can still carry a referendum despite the opposition of non-

anglophone votes.\u201cThere is a tradition of nonviolence in Quebec and Canada,\u201d Gagnon said in an interview.\u201cThere is really no culture of violence.I would be surprised to see that.\u201d Observers at debate: Break-up won\u2019t be easy or predictable By Paul Mooney MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Parti Québécois predictions that the rest of Canada will negotiate calmly and rationally following a Quebec vote for sovereignty have minimal credibility, a constitutional conference was told Sunday.Alan Cairns, a professor at the University of British Columbia, said the rest of Canada would be in disarray, the federal Parliament in chaos and the country without clear leadership.\u201cTherefore both sides are ignorant of what they'll confront,\u201d he told a gathering of leading Canadian scholars and politicians gathered at McGill University for a debate on Quebec sovereignty.But Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Louise Beaudoin responded with what she called \u201cpractical advice: \u2014 \u201cPrepare yourselves in case,\u201d she told the conference.\u201cThere will be a referendum on sovereignty this year.There\u2019s no point in ignoring reality.Everyone should get ready and assume their responsibilities.\u201d Cairns argued that Canadian institutions aren\u2019t set up to establish one clear authority to negotiate with a departing Quebec.Federal elections might have to be held, the other provinces would flex their political muscles and re-organizing the rest of the country would get in the way of negotiations with Quebec on sharing assets and the federal debt, he said.Much of the day-long debate mirrored established positions.Federalists argued that Quebec separation would be too costly, that the province can\u2019t separate without the consent of the

OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Last week, Daniel Johnson\u2019s provincial Liberals began their offensive against the Parti Quebecois\u2019s pre-referendum strategy.This week, their federal counterparts may take their first halting steps in the same direction.Prime Minister Jean Chretien has come under criticism for appearing to have no clear plan to fight a referendum campaign that many are predicting will be held sometime in the spring.Chretien has scheduled a rare news conference today at which he\u2019s expected to answer questions for the first time in\"almost a month about his plans to coun-

Teenagers: Tobacco law not enforced LONGUEUIL (CP) \u2014 About one-half of teenage smokers in Quebec have never been asked their age when buying cigarettes, suggests a new survey.The survey underlines the urgency of raising the legal age to buy tobacco products and of enforcing the law, say Quebec\u2019s regional public health directors.The findings are \u201cworrisome and abundantly clear,\u201d said Dr.Luc Boileau, spokesman for regional health directors.The survey of 805 teens was: conducted Jan.6-10 and indica-: tes 28 per cent in the 12-18 age: group are regular smokers, up:

: The telephone survey, carried out by the Léger and Léger pol- Ting firm, indicates that 51 per cent have never been asked their age when buying cigarettes, even though a federal law enacted last February forbids the sale of tobacco products to those under 18.\u201cThis law is not being enforced as we would hope it would,\u201d Boi- leau said.Sixty-five per cent of respondents indicated they would reduce tobacco consumption if the current price of $3 for a pack of 25 cigarettes were raised to $6.And about one-third of respondents said they would quit smoking if the price doubled.\u201cThe price of tobacco has an enormous influence on consumption, especially among youth;\u2019 and a retail price should be high enough to discourage consumprx.tion among younger people,\u201d Boi- leau

for its once-booming marble mining industry, the quiet town of Mar- bleton has begun celebrating its 100th anniversary.Settled in the decades following the American revolution by land-hungry New England farmers who followed pioneer John Bishop to Dudswell Township, Marbelton became a separate municipality on the shores of Silver Lake in 1895.Years later, when townspeople could no longer earn their living from the depleted marble quarries, workers turned their attention to neighboring Lime Ridge and the limestone quarry here which is still the Marble- ton\u2019s main employer.In its heyday, Lime Ridge was the last stop on the Maine Central Railway, a bustling village RECORD: PERRY BEATON with a post office, a general store and a busy hotel.The village site has since disappeared beneath the expansive GrayBec quarry.DISAPPEARING?Now, as 700 Marbleton residents prepare for a year of festivities to mark their centennial, the town faces the prospect of an imminent merger with the neighboring municipalities of Bishopton and Ste-Adolpe de Dudswell.The town has pulled together to celebrate what may be their last birthday as a separate municipality with a calendar of activities for 1995, ranging from a book launch to a reunion of former residents planned for Canada Day weekend.On Sunday, the municipality\u2019s centennial committee launched an impressive 350-page illustra- A

the woman and Auger, he added.An autopsy was to be performed on the man\u2019s body in Calgary.Results were expected today.Gil Auger, the suspect\u2019s brother, said he\u2019s assuming the body is that of Fernand, but added his thoughts are now focused on Carpenter.\u201cAlthough what I've heard is devastating, there\u2019s other matters (finding Carpenter) to be resolved,\u201d Auger said from Sud- bury, Ont.\u201cI guess he was desperate.I'm not quite sure how to interpret it.\u201d He said his brother also lived in Sudbury until about three years ago.An RCMP spokesman said Saturday a

ACM Sa SE MEET ET The Townships The RECORD\u2014Monday, January 16, 1995\u20143 Record Councillors vow to freeze taxes SHERBROOKE (RL) \u2014 Sherbrooke city council still has an executive committee, but its members will be getting a 50 per cent pay cut.That was one of the many decisions taken by Sherbrooke city council at a long-range planning meeting held in Brome Lake this weekend.The executive committee, made up of the mayor and a few chosen councillors, will see some of its powers revert to city council.Members the urban planning committee will also take pay cuts.And the post of council chairman has been abolished.New Mayor Jean Perrault had promised to abolish the executive committee during his election campaign this fall, but was forced to settle for major changes in the powerful sub-committee installed by former Mayor Paul Gervais during his first and only term in office.NEW COMMITTEES Council has also created a number of new committees, including a high-profile committee responsible for service to the population and another devoted to overlooking fiscal management.Despite some major political differences, the mayor and his 12 councillors have agreed to give top priority to five areas of administration during their four-year mandate.They include: \u2014 maintaining taxes at their present level for the next four years; \u2014 cutting town expenses to about $100 million between now and 1999; \u2014 economic development and job creation; \u2014 finding ways to increase revenues; \u2014 creating a new forum for consulting the population.Perrault said he had promised to maintain tax levels for the next two years.His council colleagues voted to extend that goal for the full four-year term.The mayor said council has adopted a list of 24 priorities.He said the others will be made public when he makes the mayor's traditional speech before the local Chamber of Commerce on February 13.Perrault said he was pleased with results from the weekend planning session and added that he was impressed by the \u201ccourage, audacity and determination\u201d of his council colleagues.Citizen left alone to battle garbage giant Austin gives up fight against Bestan-Laidlaw hike By Roy MacLaren SHERBROOKE \u2014 Opposition to the 40 per cent dumping fee hike at the Bestan-Laidlaw landfill site in Magog Township is faltering.The municipality of Austin has decided not to contest the price increase in front of Quebec\u2019s Municipal Commission after councillor Raoul Petitclerc failed to convince other municipalities to join the fight at a Memphremagog Regional Municipality (MRC) meeting last week.Austin\u2019s descision came after a 21-2 vote by mayors ofthe Mas- coutains MRC near Ste- Hyacinthe to withdraw opposition to the tariff hike.Austin mayor Roger Nicolet estimates it would have cost the municipality $20,000 to bring the case before the municipal commission.\u201cWe were unable to continue because Austin found itself all alone with no one else to share the legal costs,\u201d he said in a telephone interview Sunday.\u201cBut we thought the long term interests of the ratepayers would have been better served by going through with the opposition.\u201d ONE OPPONENT Austin\u2019s descision to withdraw from the fee hike battle leaves only one official opponent of the price increase, Magog Township resident Gérard Caisse.It remains to be seen wether Caisse will oppose Bestan- Laidlaw at Quebec Municipal Commission hearings in Montreal this week.Bestan-Laidlaw plans to raise prices from $21 to $29.30 a metric tonne but has offered municipalties in the Memphre- magog MRC a five-year deal at a preferential rate \u2014 if no one contests the price increase.With the contract, dumping fees would remain at $21 for the first year, and would increase based on the cost-of-living index afterwards.There is an option to renew for the final two years of the agreement.Austin councillor Petitclerc said his municipality is worried Ambulance drivers won\u2019t get say on hospital merger Emergency care By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 A plan to close more than 300 local hospital beds and one emergency ward should not affect the quality of emergency care, a spokesman for the regional health board said over the weekend.> 2 Robert Courchesne, head of budgets and planning for the Regie de santé et des services sociaux de l\u2019Estrie, was reacting to concerns expressed by local ambulance operators last week that bed closings could cause emergency rooms to become even more overloaded than they are already.All four of Sherbrooke\u2019s emergency wards were closed simultaneously for 13% hours overnight last Tuesday.Some wards closed again on several occasions later during the week, although never four at the same time.Emergency ward closures are frequently caused by a shortage of hospital beds and gurneys, but Courchesne explained that, in the long run, new ways of managing patient care will mean shorter hospital stays, enabling hospitals to treat more patients with fewer beds.Under a plan to save $29 million, the city\u2019s five hospitals will be merged into two consortiums, enough emergency-room stretchers or hospital beds to admit new patients.Health board chief Cour- chesne emphasized that one of the goals of the merged hospital intrusive surgery, which allow quicker recoveries and shorter

to deal with emergency cases._ Sécurité de l\u2019Estrie vice- president and general manager Antoine Fabi said last week that emergency rooms are already overloaded and regularly close their doors to

Sherbrooke\u2019s ambulance service.Antoine Fabi, vice-president and general manager of Ambulances Sécurité de l\u2019Estrie, said the shortage is due to operating standards set by the regional health board, which contributes a large portion of the ambulance service\u2019s operating budget.According to Fabi, at least one more ambulance is currently needed on days and another on evenings and nights.Right now there are four ambulances during the day and one at night.Another team of drivers is always on stand-by.\u201cWe're overloaded,\u201d said Fabi, Schoolgirl hitches firetruck ride BURY

Here's Becky's winning entry: By Becky Murray Fire prevention is something you do to help prevent a fire.There are lots of simple things you can do to help prevent a fire such as: having a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher.You can also help prevent fires by making sure that a lightbulb or any other hot object is not touching an object that could catch fire.Make sure al WN WN \u2014 WY electrical appliances are turned off if you are leaving or even if you aren\u2019t using them.If you are smoking a cigarette don\u2019t throw it on dry leaves or grass and don\u2019t smoke in bed.Fire prevention is important because if you know how to prevent a fire you probably won\u2019t be in one and it could save your life.You should go over an escape plan if there is a Zz fire in your house,

RECORD-\u2014Monday, January 16, 1995 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Board\u2019s secrecy serves no one well Any time members of a publicly funded body refuse to answer questions about their decisions, an alarm should go off alerting those whom they are elected to represent.Hopefully, the sirens will be loud enough to pierce the impenetrable wall of silence erected by the District of Bedford School Board.The board chairman and director-general are snugly ensconsed Pee a recent out-of-court settlement with a fired employee, which allows them to avoid answering even the most elementary questions.Questions such as what impact the firing and subsequent rehiring package has had on the budget, and what school programs were sacrificed as a result.Or, how much the labor-court challenge and subsequent agreement will cost taxpayers.And, is the board satisfied the principal\u2019s alleged transgression was adequately investigated and sufficiently severe to warrant firing an employee with 27 years experience \u2014 just two years before he was eligible for retirement?The board chairman maintains these questions have no place in the public domain.Even before the settlement was reached, precluding either party from disclosing the terms of the agreement, the chairman called the school principal\u2019s firing \u201ca private matter.\u201d \u2018Private school board decision\u2019 is an oxymoron.There\u2019s no such thing.Certainly there was nothing private about the board\u2019s missive announcing to the entire school community that the principal had been fired.The notice, which gave no reason for the dismissal, was posted on every school bulletin board in the district.Even then, the director-general and chairman refused to disclose the reasons for the dismissal, arguing that it was a matter between the fired principal and the board.5 Were they, as they éfhimed, remaining silent to protect the reputation of the dismissed principal?If so, they failed miserably.In the absence of a concrete statement, the rumor mill shifted into overdrive, casting aspersions on the school principal, who was presumed guilty of every conceivable offence.It seems unlikely the principal was fired for a single act of circumventing the collective agreement, as the board maintains in its curt letter of dismissal.Which begs another question: If the board had reservations about the principal\u2019s ability to meet \u201cthe professional standards and expectations of an administrator,\u201d why did it take 27 years to do something about it?Was this not the same board that a year earlier appointed him principal?The school board has done a disservice to the public and to its own reputation \u2014 not to mention that of the fired principal \u2014 by fostering speculation, malicious gossip and erroneous information about a decision that may or may not have been a good one.And it has further added to the public disdain and distrust of decision makers, who appear to have something to hide.A school board is not a private club.It\u2019s in everyone's best interests that school- board business remain open to public scrutiny.Letters to the Editor We could all be part of the same team Open letter to Mr.Parizeau Head of the Parti Québécois and Prime Minister of Quebec Sir: We received your brochure during the Christmas holidays and we read it with a great deal of concern.First let's consider the practical questions: how can we keep our Canadian nationality within an independent Quebec?Normally, the nationality of a country depends on its own laws.In other words, it is Canada that decides who is Canadian.Besides, the Canadian passport stipulates that the Secretary of State of external THER OTHE (NANA PT HAE pook SIGNING ail the Ailey affairs of Canada, in the name of Her Majesty, the Queen, is the one issuing this passport.The question of the Canadian dollar is also troubling.In general, a national currency belongs to the country that issues it.Do you think that the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund would recognize the usage of this currency against the will of the issuing country?In any case, does not an economic integration lead to a political integration?We are, at the end of this century, at a perilous crossroad in the history of civilization and humanity.Do you not think that what humanity really needs today is interdependence rather than independence so that each culture may become a gift to the whole?We could all be part of the same team on this spaceship we call Earth and create in Canada a formidable nucleus which could prove that humanity has the potential to become some day one brotherhood, one family.You sent us your program almost at the time when the world was celebrating the birthday of the one who preached love and forgiveness.Mr.Parizeau, is it not time for you to join your Canadian countrymen with your experience, your battle scars and your hopes for building a unified world so that negativity does not triumph as it did during the 30s and as it is doing today in Bosnia and Russia?Wisdom is not to withdraw within oneself; it is to establish ties with others.After all, those whom we struggle against today, are they not really other aspects of ourselves?HEDI MIZOUNI Brome Lake Rushton: Honest academic or sinister racist?By Shelley Page Ottawa Citizen LONDON, Ont.(CP) \u2014 He's been dismissed as-a- Clark Kent- lookalike with a brain damaged by acid rain; a purveyor of \u201cethnoporn\u201d with a perversity for charting penis length; a draconian measurer of heads; just plain stupid.These are the kinder descriptions of Philippe Rushton who in his own words, has \u201cengendered one of the most disreputable theories of human evolution in the last 60 years.\u201d Branded a racist, he has had to endure death threats.He has been depicted in the white robes of the Ku Klux Klan, most recently by Rolling Stone magazine which dubbed him a \u201cProfessor of HATE.\u201d The Ontario Human Rights Commission has i people.invegti- gating him.a ¢ Five years ago, when his theories on evolution and race appeared to overwhelming outrage and ridicule, his then-boss at the University of Western Ontario predicted the embarrassment would force Rus- hton back to his less offensive research on altruism.It did not.For the past four years, Rushton has worked on amassing data to prove his theories are right.The resulting book \u2014 titled Race Evolution and Behavior, a life history perspective \u2014 has just been published (Transaction Books, New Jersey, 1995).In it, Rushton tries to show that oa % lpagt 60 difféfent traits, there | ntial physical and behavioral differences between what he calls the three \u201csubspecies\u201d of humankind.He believes Mongoloids (Asians), Caucasoids (whites) and Negroids (blacks) are ranked in that order in average brain size, intelligence, family stability and sexual restraint.He says there is substantial overlap with, for example, extremely intelligent or extremely dim, people in each population.The differences came about because of different evolutionary paths and have a genetic base, he believes.This flies in the face of the 20th- century belief that all humans are equal and any perceived behavioral differences between groups are superficial, resulting from racism and such environmental factors as poverty and poor nutrition.To Rushton, the new book holds the key to restoring his reputation.\u201cPeople just foam at me,\u201d says Rushton said in his tiny office at the University of Western Ontario.\u201cWhere are your emotions?Where are your feelings, your social responsibility?they ask me.I say: \u2018I beg your pardon, those aren\u2019t scientific issues.\u2019 \u201cI hope this prompts an intellectual debate.\u201d Las Human babies in cows may be possible By Dennis Bueckert The Canadian Press À recent TV drama about a company that breeds human babies inside cows has piqued the curiosity of many viewers: Could it really be done?The idea was explored convincingly in an episode of the award- winning CBS show Picket Fences, which looks at ethical issues in a fictitious midwestern American town.The experts aren\u2019t laughing.In fact, some say such a thing would be technically feasible.\u201cScientifically I think it\u2019s possible,\u201d says Togas Tulandi, head of the Canadian Fertility Association.\u201cOne problem is the ethics.How could you do it ethically?\u201d Science has already accomplished many things that wouldn\u2019t have been believed some years ago, notes Tulandi, a Montreal-based obstetrician-gynecologist.PROGRESSION \u201cIn the past people said, \u2018There\u2019s no way you can fertilize an embryo outside the body.\u2019 Now we are doing it.Science keeps progressing.Anything can happen.\u201d Today's fertility specialists routinely mix human eggs and sperm in the laboratory to produce embryos which are then implanted into a woman\u2019s uterus, The question is whether a human embryo would survive in the uterus of an animal.\u201cHow far it (the embryo) would get in terms of development is very debatable,\u201d says Patricia Baird, the Vancouver geneticist who headed the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies.\u201cThe relationship between fetal cell division and blood vessel formation and the mother\u2019s uterus is really fine-tuned.There\u2019s a lot of exchange and there would have to be species compatibility.\u201d If it were possible to breed humans in cattle, it would be unethical, she said flatly.\u201cIt\u2019s contrary to human dignity.It's so fundamental to our definition of ourselves that it becomes difficult to explain in words.\u201d BAN PROPOSED In its 1993 report the royal commission said research on the transfer of zygotes (fertilized human eggs) to other species should be banned.The commission also opposed any effort to develop human zygotes in an artificial womb.\u201cEven in the unlikely event this were possible,\u201d the report said, \u201cits pursuit would dehumanize motherhood; some have even suggested it could lead to \u2018baby farms.\u2019 \u201cEqually forceful objections apply to the idea of transferring human zygotes to the uterus of another species .which would deny the zygote\u2019s connections to the human community.\u201d The federal government has not yet given a detailed response to the recommendations of the commission.SHARON McCULLY No room for greed in Ottawa\u2019s war on marijuana No truce Professional athletes have God-given skills and should focus on the game, say Andrew Pols and J.D.Alkema, students at Redeemer College, Ancaster, Ont.This is part of what they wrote in the weekly Christian Courier, published in St, Catharines, Ont.If professional sport does not focus on the game, it may result in its demise; fans will eventually be turned off.Not only for the preservation of professional sports should the playing of the game be the focus, but because the playing of the game is the area of the sport that pleases God.The greed and power which are so often related to the business side of sport is not good stewardship.These athletes have unique gifts in performing the game, which is really what we enjoy.As Christians we must realize these gifts come from God and discourage their abuse.What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press By Bill Redekop Winnipeg Free Press WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 A quarter- century after the Le Dain royal commission called for an end to the legal war against marijuana, Canada remains among the world leaders in per-capita drug busts.And about two-thirds of these arrests are for cannabis offences, according to the Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto.\u201cWhen I discuss with students the marijuana laws of this country, we do it right after talking about the witchcraft hysteria in Europe,\u201d says Barry Sneiderman, a University of Manitoba law professor.\u201cI mean, if you want to talk about a criminal drug, let\u2019s talk alcohol.\u201d There were more than 600,000 convictions for cannabis possession in Canada between 1965 and 1993, costing billions of dollars in enforcement and court time.COSTLY Neil Boyd, a Simon Fraser University criminologist and author of High Society: Legal and Illegal Drugs in Canada, estimates each marijuana possession charge cost taxpayers $3,000 to $5,000.A study for the California legislature estimated taxpayers save $100 million US a year because the state decriminalized cannabis in the mid-\"70s, In California, possession of an ounce (28.4 grams) or less of cannabis is treated like a speeding offence, with a fine of $100-$200.The procedure takes five minutes.\u201cIf people are made to pay out of court, governments would just get the revenues without the costs, and there would still be controls in place,\u201d Boyd says.But he believes a better idea would be to legalize cannabis.He maintains governments could reap $2 billion a year in taxes \u2014 \u201c- just put it into government-control liquor stores, just like liquor.\u201d There are human costs to the current drug laws as well \u2014 for instance, those hundreds of thousands of convicted Canadians have criminal records.ERECTS BARRIER Alex MacKenzie, a Winnipeg lawyer and former pro-pot activist, says the law also erects a wall between the state and youthful citi- Zens.\u201cThese laws alienate more young people from the police than any other law.kEvervone who smokes marijuana is an outlaw.Kids develop a mindset towards police.\u201d But Wayne Hindmarsh, dean of pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, cautions against relaxing the drug laws.\u201cDo you believe we have problems with cigarettes and alcohol?\u201d says Hindmarsh, a member of PRIDE \u2014 Parent Resource Institute for Drug Education.\u201cIf you decriminalize, it will just increase the use.\u201d He contends that increased marijuana use would increase healthcare costs, offsetting any savings to the legal system.He also says marijuana slows users\u2019 reaction times.\u201cThere\u2019s no way I

readers have opened their hearts to America's hospitalized veterans by participating in your Ann Landers-Valentines for Vets program.Last year, as in years past, your column resulted in almost 1 million cards and letters for our veterans.Our 171 Veterans Affairs hospitals received an average of 3,000 valentines each, and an additional 400,000 were sent to the Hines VA Hospital in Chicago and were redistributed among our hospitals.Cards and letters came from faraway places - Guam, Australia, Germany and Canada to name just a few.Once again, many teachers used your column to provide a history lesson for their students.It gave them the opportunity to talk about veterans Russ Hopkins.The B Group being Don Lougheed, Richard Goodhue, Phil Kerwin and Ed Hardy.Ken Porter seemed to run

the card players were absent.Bridge winners were Bill Lyon and Al Si- mons.In 500 Irvine Arbery finished 1st, just ahead of Wendell Cass.After this there was a great noise and eruption while the chairs were moved in preparation for the program and the singing, some bad, some not so bad, and some other.Choristers Grant Taylor and Basil Allatt led the group singing and as usual got a standing ovation.They engineer it that way.They sing a hymn at the end and have everyone standing when they finish.They then get a standing ovation.The next act didn\u2019t have to be engineered.Bruce Patton introduced the return engagement of Karen Robinson.Her beautiful true toned voice and pleasant personality made the time just fly as she started by Waltzing Us Once Again Around the Dance Floor and finished by promising \u201cThat We\u2019ll Meet Again\u201d.Past President Ed Stracchino thanked her saying that in all his years he had heard good, and even gooder; but that Karen was the goodest!

This card will make you v* happy.It might even make you smile.\" We in the Department of Veterans Affairs believe in emphasizing a commitment to caring and courtesy by putting veterans first.It is an
