The United Nations social summit ended early today with world leaders agreeing to wipe out global poverty and injustice in an effort to prevent a social explosion\u2019 as the 21st century approaches.Although many heads of state and government expressed optimism that it would make a difference to the suffering of tens of millions of people in poorer countries, others said they doubted

lands will have a right to remain within Canada if the province opts to split.\" Quebec Cree Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come will deliver that message today in a speech to the Canadian Club in Toronto.Instead of another stinging attack on the Parti Québécois, Coon Come intends to shift his focus to the Chrétien government\u2019s silence on the explosive issue of native rights within Canada._ \u201cThe question will be: What the hell is Canada doing?Where are the feds on this question?\u201d said a Cree strategist involved with the writing of Coon Come\u2019s speech.Prime Minister

and a plan early today aimed at rescuing the more than one billion people around the globe living below the poverty line and the millions of unemployed.\u201cWe commit ourselves to the goal of eradicating poverty in the world,\u201d said the declaration, which was approved after a marathon final session that ran hours behind schedule.Many delegates warned of the dangers to society unless something was done to end glaring inequality.\u201cWe can continue to hold the trust of the people of the world only if we make their needs our priority,\u201d said the summit declaration.The weeklong UN gathering, which brought together 190 countries and some 120 heads of state, was an ambitious attempt to pull together governments and aid groups to set a common global policy.\u201cThe cry of

agreed, however, that reforms were needed in their own backyards to boost production and fight corruption.The 10-point declaration, while non-binding, urges richer countries to spend 0.7 per cent of their gross national product on foreign aid and to cancel the debt of poor countries.It says donor countries should earmark 20 per RECORD: PERRY BEATON cent of their aid specifically for basic social programs, while the recipient should spend 20 per cent of its national budget on such programs.The document urges improving health care, sanitation and food production, as well as literacy \u2014

split By Maurice Girard QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Just over 60 per cent of separatists questioned in a recent poll said it should require more than a simple majority of votes for Quebec to begin the separation process.The survey was was conducted by the CROP polling firm for the Conseil du Patronat, a leading Quebec employers group.Of those who support independence, 61 per cent said it should require more than a simple majority.A simple majority is 50 per cent of the votes plus one.The government, union leaders and other nationalists have maintained that a simple majority is sufficient to begin Quebec\u2019s move to independence.Nearly two-thirds \u2014 65 per cent \u2014 of the 1,004 people surveyed by telephone between Feb.27 and March 3 \u2014 separatists and federalists, anglophones and francophones \u2014 said more than a simple majority should be required.A sample of this size is considered to be accurate within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.} MOST LIKELY Separatist voters were most likely to support the rule of a simple majority \u2014 36 per cent supported that method but only 24 per cent of all respondents did so.Thirty-two per cent of those who said they\u2019ll vote against separation when a referendum is held this year said it should require a two-thirds majority.Only 19 per cent of separatists agreed, as did 34 per cent of non- Francophones.But overall, the percentage of those who say a two-thirds majority should be necessary to begin the separation process continued to fall.It dropped to 25 per cent from 29 per cent in a survey last November and 36 per cent last June.Second warship to be dispatched Spaniards jostled as trawler arrives By lan Bailey ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 The captain of the seized Spanish trawler Estai and Spain\u2019s ambassador to Canada were jostled, jeered and had two eggs thrown at them Sunday after the ship arrived under escort by Canadian patrol vessels.One egg hit a German diplomat who was accompanying the Spaniards.The other hit a wall of the underground parking lot where about 40 people had followed them as a phalanx of fisheries and security officers led them through an underground parking garage to the downtown courthouse.\u201cGo home,\u201d shouted an adolescent girl in the crowd of about 40 people involved in the pushing.A few metres away, a man banged against the parking-garage wall with two small sticks.No one was injured and a good deal of the shoving was by the security escorts who led captain Enrique Davila Gonzalez of Digo, Spain down the ship\u2019s gangplank to the pier and across the street to the parking garage.RELEASED In court, the captain was released on $8,000 bail and was believed to have returned to his ship, which was arrested off the Grand Banks late last week after the Canadian government promised to protect turbot stocks off the East Coast.The arraignment of Gonzalez coincided with the announcement by the Spanish government on Sunday that it planned to send a second patrol ship to the Grand Banks area to protect Spanish fishing trawlers involved in the dispute between Canada and the European Union.Gonzalez and the ship were charged with one count each of unlawful fishing.The captain was also charged with failing to bring about when required, throwing fishing equipment \u2014 a net \u2014 overboard and willfully obstructing a fisheries officer.All charges are under Canada\u2019s Coastal Fisheries Protection Act.The walk to the courthouse went afoul after security officers couldn\u2019t lock a door leading into the court building.That backed up the group for a few minutes until someone found the key.\u201cThis is an attempt against civilization and diplomacy,\u201d said ambassador Jose-Luis Pardos, See

federal anti-smoking program put in place last year to counter the effect of lower cigarette prices will see its funding plunge as a result of Paul Martin\u2019s budget, Le Devoirsaid today.The program was established to carry out anti-tobacco education and awareness campaigns after Ottawa and Quebec chopped taxes to stop the growing smuggling of smokes in the province.Critics say lower cigarette prices encourage people to smoke.The program\u2019s funding will be reduced to $81 milion over two years from the current $185 million over three years, Le Devoir said.\u201cIt\u2019s still a large budget and the three parts of the strategy are maintained, namely research, promotion and compliance with the law,\u201d deputy health minister Michele Jean told the newspaper.The anti-smoking

streptcoccal infection last weekend.The man was then transported to a Sherbrooke hospital and treated with antibiotics.Though he was thought to be in critical condition last week, the health board has said the man is now stabilized and in satisfactory condition.Though health officials maintain that the disease is extremely rare and not considered to be contagious, close members of the man\u2019s

story about the baby-napping.Their story fell apart after a few hours of questioning by New York City detectives, but not before it had created a stir in the American media.After a tearful television

4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Monday, March 13, 1995 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Fish don\u2019t carry passports Probably the most violent and volatile confrontation I've ever encountered in my admittedly protected life was a legally sanctionned armed standoff between police and native fishermen.There\u2019s something about depleting fish stocks that baits peace-loving Canadians, turning them into gun-weilding protectors of the species.Natives cited constitutionally entrenched treaty rights as a license to net spawning salmon on their way upstream.In much the same way, Spanish crews cite the supremecy of international law on international waters as justification for overfishing.Regardless of the reason, the result is decimation of fish stocks.Unfortunately, fish don\u2019t carry passports, nor do they confine their activities to protected waters.Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin estimated 30 Spanish vessels hauled in about 7000 tonnes of turbot \u2014 more than double the quota alloted by the European Union \u2014 and they weren't about to stop as long as there were more fish in the sea.At the same time, Canadian fishermen, still recovering from the effects of depleted cod stocks, were following strict quotas to preserve the turbot stocks.What's Canada to do in the face of such blatant overfis- hing just beyond its 200-mile perimeter?The real question isn\u2019t whether Canada breached international maritime law by seeking to extend its jurisdiction outside its 200 mile limit, but why the Spanish fleet was permitted with impunity to ignore internationally set quotas.What recourse does a country have when international authorities prove to be more capitalist than conservationist, and foreign fishermen refuse to recognize a moratorium on fishing until the dispute can be resolved?The Canadian fishery is ane of the country\u2019s greatest resources \u2014 representing thousands of jobs \u2014 and it would seem somewhat foolhardy to stand by idly and watch it sail away into oblivion.Granted,it would have been more desirable to have an independent third party step in and enforce a moratorium until the dispute could be settled.But that didn\u2019t happen.Sometimes even nice guys have to be tough \u2014 or finish last.SHARON McCULLY SU, / = 5 > A gob?\u201d C or / > \\ 1995 £800 > 4%, DEPT.oF / FISHERIE BON 7 GG Vz 2.CON vr LL

European fishing has been the glue binding an unlikely coalition of Newfoundlanders.Since federal Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin began leaning on boats from Spain and Portugal, provincial Tories have stood alongside Liberals at public gatherings, cheering on Tobin \u2014 a Newfoundlander.\u201cWhen John Efford stands side- by-side with a Tory, Newfoundland is united,\u201d Efford, the Liberal Works, minjster, said at a rally Thursday.\u201cGo get \u2019em Brian, we support you 100 per cent!\u201d fisherman Gerald Ryan bellowed at the same raily, hours before the Spanish ship Estai was arrested for fishing turbot in defiance of Ottawa\u2019s orders.And at a news conference this week, student activists sat alongside fishermen, feminists, labor activists and others.Titles were secondary to the fact they were Newfoundlanders, each hit somehow by the collapse of bottom-dwelling stocks like northern cod that has been a blow to the provincial fishing industry.All formed a common front to pat Ottawa on the back for action many awaited while fish stocks collapsed, forcing thousands out of work.\u201cThis is a universal issue.Everyone is affected by this,\u201d Zaki Saleemi, head of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Students\u2019 said Saturday.Social pélicy reform affecting tuition and other issues havefaken a temporary back seat to provincial unity as Saleemi\u2019s group and others call on members to attend a rally today.Organizers are hoping thousands of people will show up in the city\u2019s harbor as the Estai is herded into port, where its captain is expected to face criminal charges .related to fishing turbot.To 21-year-old Saleem, fishermen, plant workers, politicians and many others in all areas of Newfoundland life, the action long overdue.They say the Europeans must take their share of the blame for declining stocks, although seals, cold temperatures and other factors are also considered culprits.\u201cNewfoundlanders have been waiting to see an action like this for four or five years.People think the (federal) government is doing its job \u2014 finally,\u201d said Saleemi.Leslie Harris, a former Memorial University president who wrote a federal report warning of the collapse of cod, said the devastation of some parts of Newfoundland is behind the hunger for action.\u201cWe have stopped fishing,\u201d said Harris, one of Newfoundland\u2019s most eloquent thinkers on the fishery.\u201cWe are living off government largesse at the moment because there are no fish to catch.\u201d In the lobby of a downtown hotel Saturday, he spoke angrily, but precisely.\u201cOur ships are tied up or sold.Our fishermen are sitting on their hands.While this is happening, there are Spaniards \u2014 and others \u2014 out there still raping to the limit of their powers, the remnant of fish that is left.\u201d All sides say, however, there\u2019s no anti-Spanish feeling at the root of the protest today.\u201cWe have no brief against the fishermen on these boats,\u201d said Earle \" McCurdy, president of the Fishermen, Food and Allied Workers.\u201c- Fishermen are fishermen.They're doing a job,\u201d \u201cOur complaint is with, number one, the government of the European Union and number two, the vessel owners \u2014 both of whom are safely ensconced in their living rooms back in Europe.\u201d Who\u2019s in control?Guess again.Ralph Jackson of Portage la Prairie, Man., writes to the Daily Graphic about his contention that foreign control might be the real cause of Canada\u2019s debt.Here\u2019s an edited version: We live in a country where forestry is a billion- dollar industry.How many chain saws does Canada manufacture?What about trucks and tractor engines?We live in a billion-dollar agriculture industry.Do we manufacture all Canadian tractors or combines or do we just assemble imported parts?Who controls almost all our energy resources?Guess again.We have a huge debt but it is not our social problems causing that debt.It is the outflow of capital leaving \u2014 most of it not even taxed.This is our No.1 problem, not single mothers on welfare trying to scratch out a living.From What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press International seal war turns mannerly By Tom McDougall CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) \u2014 Sporting a seal-leather tie, Mark Small explains to a small audience his dream of a reborn sealing industry putting much-needed cash into the pockets of fellow Newfoundlanders.As president of the Canadian .Sealers Association, the 55-year- old fisherman from Wild Cove, Nfld., can be expected to give that kind of pep talk to receptive Newfoundlanders.But this is a much different audience.It was sent by The Enemy.They're European politicians, guests of an effective anti-sealing group, the International Fund for Animal Welfare or IFAW.While Canada and Europe rattle sabres over turbot, the much older sealing war has turned mannerly.It\u2019s a far cry from the confrontation days of the 1970s and \u201980s, when other anti-sealing forces like Greenpeace sent protesters to the ice to spray-dye seal pups or try to block the seal hunters.KILLED HUNT It was the IFAW, the oldest anti- seal group, that killed the old whi- tecoat seal hunt in the early 1980s by persuading Europe to ban imports of whitecoat pelts.Now, during the annual harp- seal pupping migration to the ice in the Gulf of St.Lawrence every spring, IFAW sets up a temporary base in Charlottetown and brings in European politicians to fly to the ice by helicopter.But it also sends them over to talk to the other side.\u201cWe simply told them the facts and I think it left a good impression on them,\u201d Small says later.\u201cThe message I tried to get across to the European people is that we are going to develop a whole new industry based on sustainable development and full utilization of animal.\u201d Small takes pains to point out that clubbing remains banned, as does any killing of whitecoat pups.That practice ended in the early 1980s when the IFAW persuaded the European Economic Community to ban imports of whitecoat products, knocking out the main part of the traditional sealing industry.The revived hunt will be an expansion of one that never died \u2014 inshore fishermen shooting juveniles and adults with rifles.CONSERVATION-MINDED Knowing his conservation- minded audience, Small stresses full utilization \u2014 using up the entire seal instead of just the pelt.He shows them seal products, some already in production, such as seal leather, seal meat and seal oil.And others that are still being developed, such as seal meal for livestock feed and a protein concentrate that could nourish the hungry in the Third World.\u201cI think this year you'll see the industry climb from $1 million to $5 million, and our provincial fisheries minister sees it going to $10 million,\u201d Small says later.\u201cYou will this year see at least 3,000 fishermen involved in the harvesting of seals.\u201d The IFAW doesn\u2019t get any argument from fisheries scientists in its claim that harp seals don\u2019t eat much Atlantic cod.Their main diet, says Garry Stin- son of the the science branch in St.John\u2019s, Nfld., is Arctic cod, a smelt- sized species that swims near the water surface and is too small to be used commercially.Today in

he attempts to expand his horizons this week.The Reform leader \u2014 best known as the voice of western-based conservative populism \u2014 hopes to demonstrate during a four-day trip to Washington and New York that he is capable of playing a bigger role on a broader stage.Manning is scheduled to meet the leading U.S.conservative politician, Republican Newt Gingrich, and to appear on Gingrich\u2019s cable TV show.He also plans to make a major address to a conservative foundation, discuss economic issues with prominent business leaders and outline his views to two major American newspapers.\u201cIt\u2019s a chance for Mr.Manning to increase his international exposure CP News Analysis By Jim Sheppard { and to be seen at home as someone who is at ease dealing with leaders outside the country,\u201d says spokesman Larry Welsh.\u201cThis is all part of Reform offering itself to Canadians as an alternative government.\u201d The potential rewards are obvious, But so are the potential pitfalls as Reeves \u2014 popular star of action movies such as Speed \u2014 found when he broadened his repertoire recently by playing Hamlet on stage in Winnipeg.Reeves won some kudos for both his acting and his daring.But he also got hit by an almost equal number of slings and arrows from unkinder critics who suggested he may have overreached himself at that stage of his career.Manning will be sticking to his own dramatic personna, of course \u2014 not playing the melancholy Prince of Denmark, one of the toughest roles of all time.GAMBLE But it is \u201ca bit of a gamble,\u201d nonetheless, says political scientist Tom Flanagan, a former top Manning adviser.Manning runs the risk of identifying himself too closely with conservative Republican policies that may not be as popular in Canada as they are in the U.S.He is.also taking the chance he can avoid the kind of stumbles abroad that helped.sink Joe Clark.The trip is the first major foreign foray by Manning since he led Reform to an unexpectedly strong third-place showing in the 1993 election.The party is now within one seat of being the official Opposition and remains the governing Liberals\u2019 chief opposition among English-Canadians.Critics suggest it may be a mistake for Manning \u2014 already dubbed by some as \u201cNewt of the North\u201d \u2014 to associate himself too closely with Gingrich\u2019s controversial agenda which includes harsh social program cuts.Welsh dismisses those concerns.\u201cNegative things that are said about Newt Gingrich \u2014 and indeed negative things that are said about the Reform party \u2014 are said by defenders of the large, Liberal, social welfare state.They reflect thinking that has got both countries in the kind of fiscal mess we're already in.\u201d Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Monday, March 13, 1995\u2014 Fecort But fares will increase by summer Startup seat sales under Open Skies deal are attractive By Felicity Munn The Canadian Press Toronto-Atlanta for $199.Montreal-Washington for $158.Toronto-Pittsburgh for $180.That\u2019s roundtrip, non-stop, with few restrictions.Airlines are offering some attractive startup fares as they launch new services under Open Skies, the Canada-U.S.agreement that opens up air routes between the two countries.The fares are available only for a few weeks on each route.On some routes where there is no competition, they probably won't be offered at all.But with upwards of 20 transborder startups planned for the next few months, discounted introductory fares are bound to pop up on many of the new services.With the dollar so low, it\u2019s a rare chance for Canadian travellers to cut at least some of the costs of visiting the United States.The savings on Delta Air Line\u2019s startup fare on Toronto- Atlanta, for example, are $164.50 a ticket over what the cheapest regular fares will cost later.For tickets purchased through March 31, the fare is $199.50 roundtrip, available with a three-day advance purchase.Travel must be completed by June 30.After March 31 the lowest fare will be $364, available with a 14-day advance purchase.Air Canada, which began flying Toronto-Atlanta a few days after Delta did this month, matched the startup fare but with slightly different conditions.The $158 Montreal- Washington roundtrip fare is courtesy of ValuJet Airlines, an Atlanta-based discount carrier that begins flying the route Wednesday.Through March 31.every seat on every flight will cost $79 one way.The only restriction is CP considering action Exports buoy manufacturing

container terminal, a company spokesman said Sunday.Canadian Pacific filed documents seeking an injunction against the picketing strikers on Friday after they blocked trucks at the Mayfair Intermodal Terminal, said spokesman Tim Humphreys.But legal action was put on hold when the union, embroiled in a contract dispute with the railway, said there would be no picketing over the weekend.The Brotherhood of Maintenance of the Way Employees called the threat of an injunction a \u201cdesperate and exaggerated\u201d response.\u201cThis most recent act of despe- 4 ration shows the truth,\u201d the union said in a statement.\u201cTheyre running scared.\u201d Meanwhile, scattered information pickets were reported in at least five provinces Sunday but job action generally calmed down over the weekend.The maintenance employees don\u2019t ususally work Saturday and Sunday.The brotherhood began intermittent walkouts last Wednesday, with CP responding by locking out the strikers.No one was locked out over the weekend because the employees were not supposed to be on the job, Humphreys said.Talks to replace contracts that expired in December 1993 broke down earlier this month over a contentious job-security clause the company wants to water down.Divorce settlements: The taxman lurks at every break-up Loh 4 By Ian Jack * +: + The Canadian Press When it comes to divorce, most people want it over and done with as quickly as possible.That's understandable, say tax and personal finance experts, but haste could cost you and your ex-spouse money in the long run.\u201cThe problem with most people who get divorced is they fail to draft a good settlement,\u201d says Ottawa lawyer Douglas Buch- mayer.Agreements can fail to take full account of the third partner in any marriage, or split-up: the taxman.\u201cIf you can set up your affairs so Ottawa takes less and there\u2019s more to be divided up, it\u2019s to the better,\u201d says Charles Taylor, a tax partner at Deloitte and Touche.The notion of co-operating with someone you no longer love may be hard to swallow.But bickering or failing to communicate can cost both of you, and your children, says Ian Niven, tax partner at Ernst and Young.\u201cThe basic objective isn\u2019t to fight for a bigger slice of the pie.Its trying to create the biggest possible pie,\u201d Nivert says.Taylor says professional help, while it may cost some money, is probably worth it.\u201cJust as representing yourself in court is typically not a bright idea, looking after your own financial planning when you're in the middle of a divorce often doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d Taylor says.Among the things to keep in mind: STV \u2014 Just who is responsible for paying tax on support payments is up in the air pending an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.So parties to an agreement should specify the after-tax amount of support to be paid.\u2014 If you are counting on support payments, make sure life insurance is part of the divorce agreement.Otherwise, the death of your ex-spouse could throw you in the poorhouse.\u2014 Don\u2019t forget your will.If you have one and don\u2019t change it, the law presumes your ex-spouse no longer exists.That may be what you want, but what if you have kids?Consider having a provision in the will setting up a trust for them with your ex- spouse as trustee.Not having a will can have odd results.If you are separated, don\u2019t have a will, and die, your ex- spouse stands a good chance of inheriting all your assets, Buch- mayer says.\u2014 Ifyou own a house and also a cottage or farm, who will claim the principal residence tax exemption?Specify it now, or down the road you may get a nasty surprise when you sell a property and find your ex-spouse has already used the exemption, triggering potentially massive taxes for you.\u2014 If you don\u2019t need to sell an asset, such as the family home, or market conditions aren't right, consider holding onto it for a while.Agreeing to dispose of an asset at a later date is possible.Cominco buys affiliate VANCOUVER (CP) \u2014 Comin- co Ltd.is proposing to acquire all the outstanding common shares of Cominco

Commodity cartels lately appear to be coming back from the dead.But rumors of their rebirth may be greatly exaggerated.Two decades ago, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries struck fear \u2018into consumers\u2019 hearts by.exerting its dominance over werld oil supplies and prices.Similar cartels also succeeded in rationing supplies and keeping prices high in markets as diverse as tin, uranium, coffee, diamonds and potash.Inevitably, the cartels\u2019 success in fattening profits for commodities producers lured new competitors.That, in turn, led to commodity gluts that weakened

Canadian farmers hope a new national safety program will slice in half the number of deaths and injuries in the country\u2019s most dangerous industry.But for Evelyn Anderson of Rosser, Man., the program announced in last week's federal budget is years too late.Anderson lost part of her leg in an auger while she was helping her new husband clean his chicken barn one Sunday morning in 1988.The lighting was dim and the rotating screw-like cleaning device was not covered.Anderson slipped in some manure and her leg twisted around the auger like a pretzel.\u201cI could feel the bones breaking,\u201d said Anderson, a lifelong city-dweller who is still married to her husband.She spent six years in the courts unsuccessfully trying to sue her husband, who had a liability provision in his farm insurance.\u201cI was found completely at fault for walking into the building,\u201d she said.\u201cBut a farmer has to be more responsible for his actions.\u201d It's national farm safety

showed that higher interest rates were having a dampening effect on the economy sooner than expected.David Rosenberg, economist Many market analysts admit that, by the 1990s, they thought commodity cartels were essentially extinct.But now such syndicates seem to be taking on new life.In Latin America, a group of coffee- producing countries are considering a proposal to withhold part of their

farmers get crushed by their tractors, gobbled up by combines, squashed by livestock or poisoned by pesticides.Anderson would like to see a federal inspection program of farms and equipment, along with mandatory insurance that would cover injured family members.Instead, Ottawa\u2019s new program will focus on research, education and applying national standards on farm equipment, said Jack Wilkinson, president of the Canadian Federation of Agnculture.Similar programs already exist in many other countries, including the United States, Britain, and Australia.TITI ® coming @ We've got all

notice is hereby given by Gilles Boisvert, secretary-treas- urer of the Corporation municipale de Waterville, that during a special meeting of this corporation's council to be held on March 20, 1995, the financial report and the auditor's report for the year ended December 31, 1995 willbe deposited.Given in Waterville, this March 7th, 1995.Gilles Boisvert, Secretary-treasurer Women\u2019s Institute meeting\u2014 DUNHAM \u2014 The members of the Dunham Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs.Myrtle Selby on February 1st.The president, Mrs.Ruby Sherrer called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m.Motto: \u201cYou can\u2019t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets\u201d.The meeting opened with the Mary Stewart Collect and the Salute to the Flag.Memorial tributes were read for two of our members who had passed on in the fall.The tribute to Lou Staton was written by Betty Wilkinson and read by Shirley Vaughan and the tribute to Connie Paul was written and read by Myrtle Selby.Both tributes spoke with deep affection of these two wonderful ladies and mentioned their enormous contribution to our group and to their church.The tributes were followed by a moment of silence in their memory.Roll call: \u201cA suggestion of how we can celebrate Founder's Day\u201d was answered by ten members.In the absence of the secretary, Carol Phillips, the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Priscilla Doherty and approved.The treasurer, Mrs.Pearle Yates, gave her report which showed we still have a good balance in the bank.Correspondence consisted of a letter from County president, Mrs.Evelyn Lewis, thanking the Institute for the invitation to attend the February meeting, but expressing her regret that as it conflicted with the regular meeting of her own branch at which she was to be hostess, she would be unable to attend but is planning to attend our March vw Mo ee; fs 5 meeting.A thank-you note had been received from Joyce Martin on behalf of the Dunham UCW thanking our members for our help in catering for the funeral of one of the members of their church.We had received a letter from the Massey- Vanier Awards Committee asking that we again participate in the Awards program.Gracia Comeau added an explanation of how the Scholarship Committee divides the available monies.A decision on this was delayed to the March meeting.A card is to be sent to Madeleine Chandler Yates to whom we had awarded the Jane Legget Greig Memorial Bursary wishing her well in her studies.Convenor reports \u2014 Home Economics: Gracia Comeau read an article from \u201cNutrition Action\u201d which reported on the benefits of eating lean fish as the harmful chemicals found in the waters of the Great Lakes and other bodies of water are more readily absorbed by the fat in the flesh of certain species of fish.Health and Welfare: Noreen Do- herty read excerpts from an article published in the Readers\u2019 Digest entitled \u201cHome Remedies Even Doctors Use\u201d.These included the use of baking soda to relieve itching, the use of layers of adhesive tape to kill warts, tea bags to dry out sweaty feet and heal canker sores, cayenne pepper to warm feet, garlic to fight colds and flu, acupressure to alleviate nausea and pain and ice to relieve insect bites, clogged sinuses and toothaches.International Affairs: Marion Robertson read an item entitled \u201cMen and women don\u2019t think alike\u201d DON'T GIVE UP IVE GIVE PROOF OF YOUR LOVE TO DISABLED CHILDREN ii 1-800-263-1969 which reported on a study on brain behaviour done by researchers which showed that there is a significant difference in the way that men and women solve problems and react to different situations.Publicity: Priscilla Doherty read a report of the semi-annual convention of the Huntingdon County W.I, which was held on Friday, * October 24, 1994, which reported that their overall membership had risen to 163.Their 1995 annual county convention will be held April 28 at Walshaven with De- wittville as the host branch.The question of whether or not we should have a Safety convenor and the function of such a convenor was discussed.It was decided not to elect one at this time.Arrangements for the County annual being held on the 23rd of March in All Saints\u2019 Anglican Church Hall, Dunbam, were reviewed.Invitations are to be sent to the Institutes of Brome County by the county secretary.Ruby Sherrer presented Priscilla Doherty with a 25-year pin for which she thanked the members.It was brought to our attention that Linda Hoy, 2nd Vice-President of QWI, had lost her brother in a tractor accident in Lennoxville.A sympathy card will be sent.The next meeting will be held at the home of Gracia Comeau with Ruby Sherrer and Priscilla Doherty co-hostesses, and will start with lunch at noon, Following the adjournment, tea was served by the hostess assisted by Elda Martin and Betty Perry.EASTER SEALS Monday, March 13, 1995 par om

Pass 4a Pass 5& Pass 6% Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: vK It is easier ex post facto By Phillip Alder There are many players who find the winning play or defense a few seconds after trick 13 has been completed.The real expert produces the key move at the right moment, not when it is too late.Sometimes, though, a defender needs help from his partner.When faced with a critical discard, not knowing which suit to keep and which to un- guard, he must hope his partner plays informative cards.In today\u2019s deal, six clubs looks hopeless.Yet in a major event one declarer made it, because East didn\u2019t help West.Two clubs was strong, artificial and forcing.The jump to four clubs showed a solid suit and set trumps.Five clubs denied an ace or king, but South understandably bid the slam.Maybe the dummy would have the spade queen.West led the heart king and switched to the diamond queen.Declarer won and ran his eight club winners.Looking at the full deal, one can easily see that West must keep three spades.But what if South\u2019s spades and diamonds were the other way round?Then West must hold his diamonds.How does he know which?Well, East should immediately discard his two remaining diamonds.But he unhelpfully threw nothing but hearts.At trick nine, West misguessed.Still holding Q-9-5 of spades and J-9 of diamonds, he discarded a second spade.In this type of situation, the \u201cirrelevant\u201d defender should help his partner by throwing all his cards from an \u201cunknown\u201d suit.The heart position was clear at trick one.That's why East must let go of his diamonds.Phillip Alder\u2019s new book, \u201cGet Smarter at Bridge,\u201d is available, autographed upon request, for $14.95 from P.O.Box 169, Roslyn Hts., NY 11577-0169.© 1995 by NEA Inc.BRIDGE

RECORD\u2014Monday, March 13, 1995 Sports Cataractes over Sherbrooke 5-0 Faucons head for winless streak in last home game By Robert Matheson SHERBROOKE \u2014 Stéphane Julien will probably prefer to forget his final regular season game with the Sherbrooke Faucons at the Palais des Sports.Team officials held a special ceremony before Sunday's game to honor the squad\u2019s captain and the best defenceman in the Faucons\u2019 short history.The team responded by losing a crucial pre-playoff game 5-0 to the Shawinigan Cataractes.It was Sherbrooke\u2019s third straight loss after a brief one- game winning streak that snapped an earlier eight-game win- less streak.The Faucons have - just one win and one tie in their last 11 games.The win moved the Catarac- ; tes, 39-27-4, five points ahead of 8 the Faucons, 36-29-5, in the race - for second-place in the Quebec » .* - f Major Junior Hockey League\u2019s Dilio Division.Sherbrooke is tied with Chicoutimi at 77 points.On Sunday, Dereck Gosselin, NHL roundup Alexandre Jacques and Patrick Carignan added to Sherbrooke\u2019s woes by scoring goals in the first period on only eight shots against Jean-Sébastien Aubin.Carl Paradis and Pavel Agarkov scored third period goals to erase any hope of a Sherbrooke comeback.Not that their was much chance of a comeback as the Faucons turned in another uninspired performance in front of 2,101 fans.On Friday, Chicoutimi added to Sherbrooke\u2019s problems with a 3-2 win at the Palais des Sports.Denis Hamel scored the game- winning goal with only 37 seconds remaining in the third period of the game to break a 2-2 tie and move the Saguenéens into a deadlock with the Faucons in the division standings.Jérome Boivin got Chicoutimi started with an unassisted goal two minutes into the game on Luc Bélanger.Charles Paquette tied the game for Sherbrooke 10 minutes later, but the Sague- ~ Newcomer leads \u2018Canucks to victory EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 Christian Ruuttu said he wasn\u2019t surprised Sunday by how easy his first goal came as a Vancouver Canuck.He was more curious as to why Edmonton Oilers goaltender Bill Ranford was behind the net battling for the puck with Tim Hunter.\u201cOur defence did a good job keeping the puck in, I don\u2019t know why Ranford even went in behind the net,\u201d said Ruuttu, who was traded to Vancouver from the Chicago Blackhawks for NHL left-winger Murray Craven on Friday; \u201cMaybe he wanted to clear it by himself because they weren't able to do it the first time.\u201cBut Tim made a great play and I was just in the right spot at the right time.\u201d Ruuttu said it was especially nice to score a goal in his first game for his new employer to help Vancouver to a 5-2 win over a determined Oilers team.\u201cWhen you come to a new team you want to do something right away.\u201d Ruuttu\u2019s goal halfway through the second period lifted the Canucks to their second win in less than 24 hours.The Canucks defeated Anaheim

the period leading up to Hamel\u2019s game- winner.The Faucons have two games remaining, Tuesday at Granby and Friday at Shawinigan, to try and break out of their doldrums before heading into the playoffs.By Dan Ralph SASKATOON (CP) \u2014 Tom Nutten is obviously a fast learner.Seven years after taking up football, the six-foot-five, 285-pound offensive tackle was taken first overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at the CFL Canadian college draft Saturday at the Saskatoon Centennial Auditorium.\u201c] never would\u2019ve dreamed being a No.1 pick,\u201d said Nutten, sporting a Ticats\u2019 cap and jersey that was noticeably tight across the 23-year-old\u2019s chest and shoulders.\u201cI heard my name called, but I looked around before realizing it was me.I still find it hard to believe.\u201d However, the Ticats believe they've found a starter in the Magog native.\u201cHe definitely gives us that chance,\u201d said Wayne Giardino, the Ticats\u2019 player-personnel director.\u201cWe accomplished what wg, wanted.to.do, which was solidify our offensive line.\u201cWe gave up a lot of points last year because our offence was on for only two plays, then off.We wanted to make our offence competitive and take the pressure off the defence, and we've done that.\u201d But Nutten, who played at Western Michigan University, isn\u2019t about to rush into signing with Hamilton.He\u2019s eligible for next month\u2019s NFL draft, and plans to wait until after that before deciding on where he'll embark on a pro career.Even if Nutten\u2019s not selected, he could + Eric Lecompte fans on a shot during Sunday\u2019s 5-0 loss to Shawinigan at the Palais des Sports.The play symbolizes problems the Faucons have had in the last 11 games.Bishop\u2019s Hatfield stolen in CFL draft Magog\u2019s Nutten picked first overall receive a free-agent invitation to camp.\u201cI really want to keep all my doors open,\u201d Nutten said.That's fine with Giardino.\u201cEven if he does go to (NFL) camp, we feel there's a good likelihood he'll be out in August,\u201d Giardino said.\u201cIt's bad that he wouldn't get the continuity from having been with us from the start of camp, but the good part 1s he would've competed at a very high level.\u201d Ottawa selected second overall and took linebacker Stefan Reid of Boise State.Toronto then took Concordia defensive back Mark Montreuil, whose 40-yard time of 4.39 seconds at last month\u2019s CFL evaulation camp in Winnipeg was the fastest posted.Saskatchewan picked Eastern Washington linebacker Troy Alexander fourth overall before Edmonton announced its shocking selection of centre Hichem El Mashtoub of the University of Arizona.Generally regarded as the best player in.the draft, El Mas- htoub wasn\u2019t expected to be taken in the first round because he\u2019s projected to go early in the NFL draft.However, Eskimos\u2019 coach Ron Lancaster said bypassing El Mashtoub would've been criminal.\u201cWe know there\u2019s a chance we might not get him, but that\u2019s fine because we know he's a heck of a player so we'll take our chances,\u201d said Lancaster.\u201cIf he came to camp, he\u2019d start right now, there's no question.\u201d Winnipeg then added to an Konno happy to go By David M.Martin LENNOXVILLE \u2014 When bb'éus-round.CFL draftpick Mark®atfield called\u2019 teammate and friend Masaki Konno on Saturday it wasn\u2019t to brag, it was to tell Konno that he'd been drafted too.\u201cMark told me he was just looking over the draft board when he saw my name so he rushed to the press phones to call and tell me I was drafted by the Ottawa Rough Riders in the fifth round,\u201d Konno said.Konno, an inside receiver for the Bishop's University football team, is an Ottawa native and said he couldn't have been happier than to be chosen by his lometown team.\u201cIt\u2019s going to be great fun,\u201d Konno said.\u201cI already have to get=about 500 tickets for my friends.\u201d The call from Hatfield was Konno\u2019s first notice of the good news, the official call from the Riders\u2019 head office came much later.\u201cThe coaches took their time in calling me, but they finally did about two hours after Mark,\u201d Konno said.He said everything is happening so fast, but he\u2019s ready to take on the challenge and do his best.\u201cIf I make it's great, if not, that\u2019s life, at least I have a shot at it and that is all I could have RECORD: RICHARD LABEL already strong receiving corps by taking speed slotback Sean Graham of the University of British Columbia sixth.He'll learn his trade backing up league all-stars Gerald Wilcox and Gerald Alphin.Calgary followed suit by selecting Kevin Reid of the University of Guelph.That left the B.C.Lions to register the steal of the draft, Bishop's offensive lineman Mark Hatfield, according to Lions coach Dave Ritchie.A total of 55 players were taken in the seven-round draft, which included the eight Canadian-based teams starting with bonus-round selections based on operating last season under the league-imposed $2.5-million salary cap.More than 600 players were eligible.to Ottawa hoped for,\u201d Konno said.His fifth-round selection was not as high as he had hoped.Konno said he kad tough time at+ the CFL combines camp and it probably pushed him back a few spaces.Between now and training camp, Konno has plenty of work to do.He will continue with a tough regiment of performance enhancing training with track coach Kim Chapdelaine.Konno also added.\u201cI've got school to think about now.\u201d A third Bishop\u2019s player, Ian Crawford, was also drafted on Saturday.The receiver was taken in the sixth round by the B.C.Lions, QMJHL .QUEBEC MAJOR JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE Robert

we wanted to.We were up against the best, they've just got too many guns,\u201d said Massey-Vanier coach Bob Kay.Chateauguay\u2019s top gun, Megan Woods, outscored the Vikings on her own.The five- foot-eleven guard had 19 points in the second half and finished with 30.Jennifer Grant also netted 22 points for the Spartans.\u201cWhen you've got players like Jennifer (Grant), Megan (Woods) and Jodi (Wallace) \u2014 they're such great players \u2014 and everybody else does their job, it makes things easy,\u201d said Cha- teauguay coach Faye Craig.Chateauguay entered the tournament as the first seed, beating Beaconsfield High School 86-11 in the opening round \u2018and\u2019 Philemon Wright, from Hull, semifinal.\u201cI found our last game (against Massey-Vanier) very boring.I know they were hurting, but I expected a little better fight,\u201d Craig said.\u201cI guess for us the semifinal with Philemon Wright was our championship.They gave us a good game and kept us on our 69-42 in the toes.\u201d Massey Vanier was able to keep the Spartans on their toes for the game\u2019s first eight minutes.Melanie Wilson nailed a long-range, buzzer-beating three-point shot at the end of the first quarter that left Chateau- guay ahead 12-9.The Spartans scored 19 unanswered points to start the second quarter and cruised to victory.\u201cI'm really pleased with our kids.We had two really tough games to make the finals.It was a good weekend, the players should be proud and happy with what they've accomplished,\u201d Kay said.\u201cThey had a good attitude throughout the final.We finished fifth last year and second this year, so we're going in the right direction.\u201d Unfortunately for Kay, seven of the team\u2019s 10 players played their last high school basketball game on Saturday.Only three players will return next year, but one of them will be Wilson.She led the Vikings with 12 points in the final and hit three three-pointers.Coach Craig doesn\u2019t have the same problem with the Spartans.Six of her 11 players are only in Grade 9 and Woods is in Grade 10.The McLeod victory was the first step in Chateauguay\u2019s \u201ctriple crown\u201d quest.The Spartans are now preparing for the Quebec Basketball Federation championships and then the Sport Etudiant AA championships.Chateauguay has won all three the last two seasons.\u201cPersonally, I think we can do it,\u201d Craig said of the sweep.\u201cBut I really like to win this tournament.It\u2019s got a great tradition, it really stands for basketball.And its always fun to come here, it\u2019s a great atmosphere,\u201d she added.The Alexander Galt Pipers didn\u2019t benefit too much from home court advantage in the 42nd annual tournament.Although they pulled off an upset on Friday night, beating second-ranked Centennial High School of Greenfield Park in the opening round, Galt fell prey to the Vikings 76-64 in the semifinal.Jennifer MacAulay tried her best, but it wasn\u2019t enough to lead the Pipers past Massey-Vanier in the McLeod semifinals.Saturday\u2019s basketball tournament Centennial takes Visser championship LENNOXVILLE (RM) \u2014 Being shy twa top players didn\u2019t stop the Centennial beys\u2019 basketball team from winning the 49th Visser Trophy on Saturday.The Centennial Chargers simply outplayed Father MacDonald High School of St.Laurent in front of a sparse crowd at Bishop\u2019s University.The 61-49 victory gave the Chargers their second straight Visser \u2014 the equivalent of the English high school championships.\u201cI think to come into a tournament of this quality without two of our starters and win is incredible,\u201d effused Centennial coach Steve Green.\u201cThe rest of the team showed a lot of character Manitoba HALIFAX (CP) \u2014 Kerry Bur- tnyk has a suggestion for Canada\u2019s curling honchos:; hold the Labatt Brier in Halifax every .year.Fourteen years after winning his only other Canadian men\u2019s curling title in Nova Scotia\u2019s oceanside capital, the 36-year- old Winnipeg skip did it again NE this weekend.\u201d The Chargers were withdut six-foot-six Greg Thompson and six-foot-three Calvin Celestine for the tournament, but the rest of the team stepped up, Green said.Nick Lambropoulos led Centennial with 20 points in the final.Chudi Austin chipped in with 16 points.Father MacDonald\u2019s Trevor Antoine led all scorers with 29 points.\u201cWe came into the game feeling that their one good player couldn\u2019t beat our whole team,\u201d Green said.Green admitted he was a little surprised to meet Father Mac- Donald in the finals.St.Pat\u2019s, of Quebec City, was favored to be skip likes Sunday.Burtnyk had an open hit for two in the 10th end to defeat Brad Heidt of Kerrobert, Sask., 10-8.\u201cI sure hope they don\u2019t wait another 14 years to hold it here again,\u201d said Burtnyk, who was a shaggy 22-year-old when the Brier was last held in Halifax in the Chargers\u2019 final opponent, but the Fighting Irish lost in overtime to Fathet MacDonald.\u201cWe felt if we came in and played real, real good, we would have a shot at it, but our objective was just to get into the finals,\u201d he said.\u201cTo be honest, I felt it would be tough to beat St.Pat\u2019s without our two starters.\u201d Like the girls\u2019 final before it, the boys\u2019 final was lacklustre.There was never a real threat that Centennial would lose to the Runnin\u2019 Rebels, who only had two substitutes.The Chargers did have a tough time in the semifinal against Alexander Galt.The Pipers had an eight-point lead in the second half, but Centennial scored 17 unanswered points at the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth.\u201cWe felt Galt\u2019s weaknesses were against pressure defences.It was a matter of time before we found the right one, but when we went to a half-court trap they had a lot of problems,\u201d Green explained.The semifinal win against Galt was a repeat of last year\u2019s Visser championship game.While the Pipers were knocked out in the semifinals, Massey- Vanier lost its first round game to Father MacDonald.The Vikings then beat Selwyn House to advance to the consolation final, only to lose to Philemon Wright.curling in Halifax 1981.\u201cThat\u2019s what you dream of \u2014 an open hit to win.I just knew that if I took a few deep breaths and threw the rock like we've been throwing all week, the sweepers would get it there.\u201d It looked like Burtnyk had the game in the bag in the sixth end when Heidt gambled on his final Lennoxville Pie Bonspiel March 12, 1995

stock- :ing cap, sweatshirt, quilted flannel shirt \u2018with an Afghan over my lap and am still !cold.I'm 53 and, except for having high *cholesterol, healthy.Can you help?+ DEAR READER: The extent to which \u201cany of us withstands heat or cold is *largely a function of accommodation.«People adapt to their environments.: In general, persons living in warm cli- \u2018mates have more blood than those indi- \u201cviduals who live in chilly surroundings.*This is because an increased blood vol- \u2018ume is necessary to supply additional -blood to the skin, where heat is lost .through perspiration.People in cold climates have less need to lose extra body : heat, hence they have less blood.The adaptation process takes a week \u2018or two, during which persons may expe- .rience symptoms as their bodies adjust \u2018to the changing ambient temperature.\u2018For example, \u201cspring fever\u201d (the tempo- \u2018rary lassitude that affects many of us annually in the temperate climates) is ; believed to be caused by the body's sud- _den effort to produce more blood, in preparation for warmer weather.Conversely, we commonly \u201cfeel\u201d the cold more acutely during the first cold snap in the autumn than we do later in the winter, when we have become physiologically acclimatized., Resistance to extremes of temperature also depends on body build (stout 12\u2014The RECORD\u2014Monday, March 13, 1995 house; and the minutes of the executive meeting, held at the home of the president.Items arising from minutes of these meetings included associated members, branch membership cards, premie sets for use in hospitals, the County scrapbook, recupex, follow-ups and reminders of various contests and the necessity ofreplacing the winners trophy cup.Joyce Gilchrist, who had presented the original cup, Thera Devries and Agnes Keenan Why are some people always cold?people are more tolerant of cold), level of activity (exercise increases body heat), and general health (ill patients are more intolerant of cold).Finally, diseases such as hypothyroidism and anemia cause patients to be: unduly chilly.Your discomfort in a well-heated room suggests that you may be suffering from a physical malady.You should have an examination and blood tests by your family doctor.If everything checks out, you'll simply have to bundle up and wait for spring \u2014 or consider a move to Arizona.DEAR DR.GOTT: Recently my urologist recommended that I have more sex to help with a prostate infection.Was he serious?DEAR READER: Possibly.Although prostatitis is usually treated with antibiotics, some types of infection appear to be caused by congestion of the prostate gland.Such congestion can often be released by sexual activity.Thus, if you enjoy sex rather infrequently, your urologist may well have been serious when he advised you as he did.On the other hand, some authorities who believe that extended celibacy is not a common factor in prostate infection point to the fact that such infection is also prevalent in sexually active men.Therefore, if you already enjoy sex once a week or more \u2014 or if you are in your 80s and aren't particularly inclined \u2014 your urologist may have been pulling your leg.Richmond County Women\u2019s Institute hold annual meeting have volunteered to supervise the replacement of the cup.Correspondence included the bulk mailing, and thank-you notes from a youthful prizewinner and from St.Andrew\u2019 s Church for rent paid for the use of the Hail.The treasurer, Ruth Mountain, gave the financial and the auditor\u2019s reports, she mentioned that the finances of the County Institute; like the finances of the rest of the world, looks a bit insecure.Means of easing the situation was discussed.It was decided to increase the branch allotment to the County and raise the tea money.Ruth also expressed her gratitude to Marge Montgomery for auditing the books.After hearing the convenors\u2019 reports, the ladies went downstairs to be entertained by the tapping toes of Mattie Banfill and Eileen Mastine.This was followed by a bountiful buffet, provided by Richmond Young Women.The first item of business when DEAR DR.GOTT: I'm 50 and have been troubled by a pain in the center of my abdominal area and behind the sternum.I thought the pain was caused by doing situps and leg raises, but a friend indicates I might have a hiatal hernia.Please, if this is the case, explain the malady, its cause and cure.DEAR READER: Rather than explaining hiatal hernia, a weakness where the esophagus joins the stomach (often leading to heartburn and indigestion), I'd prefer to encourage you to see your family physician.Pain in the location you describe could have numerous causes: heart spasm, ulcers, liver or gallbladder disorders, pancreatic inflammation, and abdominal aortic aneurysm, to mention a few.You really need testing and X-rays.Of course, this type of pain could well be the result of muscle strain from overdoing your exercises.In this case, your doctor should be able to diagnose such a harmless condition by examination alone.Nonetheless, abdominal and sternal pain is a medical \u201cred flag.\u201d Get to your doctor.DEAR DR.GOTT: In 1991 I had an acoustic neuroma that was removed from my brain.After a year, I began to eat pureed foods and liquids because of difficulty swallowing.Now my mouth becomes increasingly hot with each meal.My ENT specialist and pri- mary-care physician are looking for solutions to reduce or eliminate the fiery condition.Can you make any recommendations?DEAR READER: Acoustic neuro- mas are tumors that grow on the auditory nerve, causing lightheaded- ness, hearing loss and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).If they grow large enough, they can compress a part of the brain called the cerebellum, with resulting weakness and poor coordination.These growths are diagnosed by CT or MRI scans.Surgery is the only appropriate method of treatment.During the operation on large tumors, surrounding healthy nerve tissue may be permanently damaged.leading to a variety of symptoms, including facial weakness, pain and difficulty swallowing.To be frank, I don\u2019t know how to treat the uncomfortable symptom you have.This really should be the responsibility of the specialist who operated on you.DR.GOTT PETER GOTT, M.D.10 » wn Airbag cassette Petre
