in Quebec were cut along with the rest of the crown corporation's departments but the changes will mainly effect the quality of service.rather than the quantity except for residents of Huntingdon, Brome-Mississquoi.and Pontiac counties.Heads rolled from sea to sea as the broadcast giant was forced to trim about $80 million from its budget.In its English Services Division, Quebec.which serves the province's widespread English-lang- uage minority about 30 of some 225 full and part-time employees and contract workers felt the chop.Plans to construct radio and TV transmitters in outlying areas have been frozen *indefinitely\"\".The CBC uses a string of repeating transmitters to replay regional and national programming to the nearly 200.000 English Quebecers living outside Montreal.But some areas have not been graced with CBC towers yet and they will now have to wait even longer to receive the tax- funded radio and TV service.Long-term plans dropped in the current round of budget cuts include a transmitter on Owl's Head Mountain to service the Brome-Missisquoi area, another for the Chateauguay Valley southwest of Montreal and several in the upper Ottawa Valley.Cuts start April 1 The 30 layoffs and the programming cuts take effect April Fools Day, but they are very real.Teary wakes were the order of the evening Tuesday as CBC crews everywhere mourned the end of the big

will be fewer out-of-town items and there won't be a lot of pictures to go with them.\u201d \u2018Newswatch as we know it will cease to exist,\u201d he said.\u2018It will be forced to move more and

count in all the fringe benefits,\u201d Duff said.\u2018The freelancers are cheaper because they don't get any fringe benefits and they aren't paid when they don't work,\" Duff sees one possible positive effect of the budget cuts.\u201cEveryone who's still working will be looking frantically for good stories to do, to improve their career prospects with the CBC,\" he said.ar Radio cuts

name of Clark, All dressed up in his Tux, they gave the show a spark.Then I saw some stepping, Marjorie Moore and some old guy, Their feet were just amoving, that Leland sure is spry.It\u2019s fun to see your neighbours, on the TV set, And I hope it's not the last time, they'll get better yet, So, if you wake up in the morning, and put your TV on, Don\u2019t be surprised with what you see, before the day is gone.Jon Proudfoot The Kitchen Band in concert last weekend at Centre d'Accueil in Ormstown.100 years ago NEW CHEESE FACTORY The farmers in the neighborhood of Purse's Corners on the Gore have decided on building a cheese-factory, and have dug the well for it.At the request of their patrons, Messrs Farquhar and Oliver have decided on converting the Rockburn creamery into a cheese factory.A LOT OF THRESHING James Conner threshed, in A.Pilon\u2019s barn, 53 bushels of wheat in 2 hours 43 minutes, and Latulippe's barn 470 bushels of oats in 9 hours.The machine used is one of Boyd & Co.'s.OPPOSE PARISH St.Jean Chrysostom (sic) and Ste.Martine are both actively opposing the erection of the new parish of St.Sacrament and threaten to give all the trouble possible.(From the Canadian Gleaner, Thursday, Dec.18, 1884) 50 years ago WHERE CREDIT ISDUE POPULARITY CONTEST Lucien Leduc, Ormstown, was the Dr.A.R.Dafoe, attending physician mainspring at Ormstown that Of the Dionne quintuplets is promoted Miss Luella McMillan in nominated for the Nobel prize for the District of Beauharnois outstanding medical achievement in Popularity Contest The prize 1934.No quarrel with this, but what awarded Miss Luella McMillan of the about the mother?Farmers' Telephone Ormstown staff.(From the Huntingdon Gleaner, was a \u201cfree trip to Bermuda.\u201d Wednesday, Dec.19, 1934) Isabel Tannahill, second, Alice Wilson and consolation, Enid Cullen.For the men.Kenny Mac- Donald.Jim Conley and consolation Roy Angell.Ormstown \u2018Ihe Ormstown Branch of Mrs.Jean McEwen welcome visit and each the Canadian Legion held a Christmas party on Saturday, December 8 for members children and grandchildren.The children played games, saw Christmas video movies, had lunch of hot dogs, ice cream and child was given an orange and candy.On Tuesday night, December 11, the Legion members entertained seniors and friends at a 500 card party at their Hall when cards were played at twelve tables.cookies.Santa Claus paid a The winners were -

because of stressed or cracked shafts on both bridges, no vehicle traffic is permitted at all.For those having to cross the Seaway system it means driving via Beauharnois - and traffic jams there - and an added one to two hours additional driving each day.Tinus Mookjekind, mayor of Valleyfield estimates that 25% of the workers are affected and commercial businesses are losing half a million dollars weekly.Yet we read that the government \u2018\u2018can\u2019t afford\u201d to provide either a tunnel or overhead bridge to service this area.A area.poll of those living here would perhaps prove that they \u2018cannot afford not to\" find a solution to a situation which is affecting a city of over 45,000 people as well as a very much wider Chateauguay Valley Perhaps we are not complaining to the right people.MP Jean-Guy Hudon seems to be doing his best to bring the situation to the attention of the Minister of Transport.But what is needed is a write-in campaign to back up his request.As usual John Q.Public gets it in the neck.He suffers the inconvenience, the time involved and the cost of extra fuel - then he gets slapped with additional taxes to repair the bridges - and he still doesn\u2019t get a permanent solution to the problem.Bernice Douglass, Valleyfield The CVESPA Column The Chateauguay Valley English Speaking Peoples\u2019 Association The CVESPA News no.4 year-end message from was mailed to members CVESPA President this week and includes a Maurice King, a glance Christmas church services Chateauguay Valley Ministerial List of Christmas services Saturday, December 22: 8 p.m.United Church, Covey Hill (Wesley-Knox) 8 p.m.United Church, Rennies, Candlelight service Sunday, December 23rd: (Net all regular services listed) 9:30 a.m.Anglican, St.James, Ormstown, Holy Communion 9:30 a.m.United, Clarenceville 10:00 Free Methodist Sunday School, Clarenceville 10:00 Presbyterian, Riverfield.Communion 11:00 Anglican, St.John\u2019s , Huntingdon, Holy Communion 11:00 Nazarene, Franklin.District Superintendant Rev.Harry Rich 11:00 United, Lacolle 11:00 Free Methodist, Christmas Service.11:15 Presbyterian, Georgetown, Communion.3:00 p.m.Free Methodist -

the table at Lesley Bonnor's on Dec 12.Christmas decorations were displayed and each one assembled a delicate lace wreath as a keepsake.Favorite seasonal treats were served and sampled much to

gift exchange which followed.Santa visited the Pink School on Thursday morning and enjoyed watching the concert presented by the youngsters.This was the pre-nursery group, La Jardinière de Howick.A parade made its way through the Village on Sunday the 16th with well decorated floats and marching groups.Gifts were handed out to the youngsters.The event was organized by the Lions.A carol service

area as well as the United States.Mr.Leif Jacobsen of The Little Denmark Flower Shop has had an Annual Open House for the past eight vears.Last vear the Open House was extended from one day.Sunday.to a weekend.This was done so there wouldn't be so much of a crowd on one day.The reasons the Jacobsens have the Open House is to meet their customers, have them enjoy some refreshments and look at the plants without feeling obligated to buy Mrs Jacobsen says that throughout the year the customers phone in their orders and the Jacobsens don't get to meet them.The Open House gives them a chance to meet them in person.Mrs.Jacobsen adds that some customers have told her that the Open House puts them in the Christmas spirit.Stan Kennedy of The Old Military Whist Another successful Military Whist

browsing.There were racks of quilts, various small antiques, spices, cards, children's books and beeswax candles as well as some soneware pottery which his daughter and son-in-law make.The specific reason Mr.Kennedy started the antique shop was to earn money to add to the capital of bursary funds for the McGill Faculty of Medicine and Dalhousie School of Occupational Therapy.The bursaries are in memory of his late wife Phyllis.Because his shop is small and he doesn't have large antiques, Mr.Kennedy has offered to help customers find desired items or to sell Ormstown Mrs.Jean McEwen John and

MRC Huntingdon - Puisque la majorité, des ses municipalités locales y sont membres, la MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent est membre de l'Union des municipalités régionales de comté et des municipalités

Saint- Sacrement de Howick recevra 31 874,208 du ministère des Transports du Québec, pour l'entretien de 5141 kilomètres de chemins pendant l'hiver 1984-85.Le taux payé par le gouvernement est de 620$ le kilomètre.Le conseil de la paroisse a approuvé cet octroi du gouvernement lors de son assemblée régulière du mardi 4 décembre.A cette même assemblée.les prévisions budgétaires pour 1985 ont été discutés.Les revenus et les dépenses devraient s'élever à 284 911$, Une assemblée Spéciale pour l'adoption de ce budget a été fixée au mardi, 18 décembre.II est prévu que la taxe foncière demeure à 0,51$, que la taxe spéciale pour couvrir le déficit de la CTCUM soit de cing sous (cela représente trois sous de moins que l'an passé).La taxe pour la cueillette des ordures ménagères sera de 55$

elle adhérera à l\u2019Union.Les municipalités, pour leur part, de Saint-Anicet, Elgin Godmanchester et Hinchinbrooke, pour leur part, ne sont pas membres de l'Union et n\u2019ont pas l'intention de le devenir, préférant ainsi participer au congrès annuel en tant qu'observateurs.En enfin, la Ville de Huntingdon, de par son statut légal, est membre de l'Union des municipalités du Québec.laquelle regroupe les cités et villes de tout le Québec.Cotisations: La cotisation annuelle à l'Union des MRC est établie par résolution de son conseil d'administration.Pour les municipalités membres, les cotisations représentent les montants suivants: e Village de Howick: 2208: » Franklin : 475$: e Paroisse Trés Saint- Sacrement: 350$: » Saint-Jean-Chrysostôme: 475$; * Havelock: 2208: s Village

secrétaire de s'informer à quel endroit aura lieu le congrès 1985 de l'Union des MRC.On veut se prendre tôt pour réserver une salle et les chambres nécessaires.Saint- Haut-Saint-Laurent: Le Conseil intermunicipal de Huntingdon - Le Conseil intermunicipal de transport du Haut- Saint-Laurent, conformément à la loi sur le transport en commun, est devenu une réalité la semaine dernière.Le règlement formant officiellement le conseil, lequel regroupe les municipalités de Huntingdon, Ormstown, Saint-Malachie, God- manchester, Howick, Très Saint-Sacrement, Sainte-Martine, Saint Paul-de-Chateauguay et Mercier, a êté adopté à une rencontre spéciale tenue le 14 décembre dernier.Ceci a fait suite au décret ministériel en date du 5 décembre dernier.A la rencontre régulière du 13 décembre, le Conseil intermunicipal de transport s\u2019est nomme un nouveau président.Il s\u2019agit de Roma Myre, maire de la Un fonds de défense peu attirant Huntingdon - Le fonds de défense que l\u2019Union des MRC du Québec a mis de l'avant à son dernier congrès ne semble pas très attirant.Il en a eté question à la rencontre de la MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent, le 12 décembre dernier, et on a constaté que très peu de municipalités locales du territoire s'y intéressent.Pour participer à ce fonds de défense, les municipalités doivent avant tout être membres de l'Union des MRC.et ensuite verser la somme de 100$ à ce fonds.Les questions à savoir qui prendra les décisions quant à la défense d'un dossier, et si une petite municipalité locale aura son mot à dire dans tout cela, semblent etre les principales inquiétudes des municipalités du Haut- Saint-Laurent.1] est impossible de dire quelles municipalités locales y participeront ou non, car elles n'ont pas eu la chance de se prononcer lors de cette rencontre.Certaines d'entre-elles décideront d'y participer.tandis que d'autres s'y objecteront tout sim- p'lement municipalité du Village de Howick.M.Myre devient ainsi le premier président officiel du C.IT.Toutefois, il faut noter qu\u2019il remplace Gérald Brisebois, maire de Huntingdon, a ce poste; alors, il s\u2019agissait surtout d\u2019un comité local de transport non officiel selon la nouvelle loi.Les autres membres du comité exécutif du transport en commun devront assumer une première hausse de la tarification en deux ans.En effet, les membres du CIT.ont décidé d'augmenter de l\u2019ordre de 10 pour cent le coût des billets unitaires.Ils considèrent que cette hausse n\u2019est pas très imposante, puisqu'il s\u2019agit d\u2019une première en deux ans.De plus, les usagers pourront faire l\u2019achat dans les prochains jours station de Metro Angrignon, ou l\u2019autobus, venant du circuit de Huntingdon, s'arrête.Il n\u2019est aucunement question, selon les dernières

L'inscription couvre environ 60 pour cent des coûts d'opération, tandis que les municipalités.les commerces, associations et le public gébéral sont appelés à donner leur appu financier pour couvrir le reste des dépenses, au moment du patin-o-thon.L'objectif cette année est de 18,000$.L'idée d'un marathon de patinage remonte à la fin des années soixante.On demande aux gens de s'engager à verser un montant d'argent pour chaque tour de patinvire sur une période de D minutes.En général, les patineurs agés de 10 ans ou moins peuvent faire jusqu\u2019à 100 tours.Ceux de 11 et 12 ans peuvent se rendre jusqu\u2019à 125, alors que les adolescents essaient d'atteindre 150.Il faut un dépasser les 150 tours.Même si le principe du patin-o-thon est basé sur le nombre de tours, plusieurs personnes préfèrent contribuer un montant fixe lorsqu'ils sont sollicités.Tous ces dons, il va sans dire, sont les bienvenus.Le comité du patin-o-thon du Club Optimiste du Huntingdon est composé de: (assis) Gaétan Legault, Paul Massé, Léon Robidoux, Jean-Guy Héneault: responsable du patin-o thon cette année sont Jean- Guy Heénault, Leon Robidoux et Michel Mainville.IIs ont distribué la semaine dernière

équipement, qui est hb propriété de sept municipalités, avait regardé sous différents aspects la meilleure façon de procéder aux réparations.Vers la fin de l'été dernier, il y avait eu une réunion où etait présent: ce même comité.ainsi que les maires des municipalités participants au financement.Cette rencontre avait pour but de soumettre un projet aux maires et connaître la position possible de chacune des municipalités qu'ils représentent.Une esquisse de projet fut alors présentée par un architecte et sa réalisation modifiant les aspects extérieur et intérieur de la porte avant du bâtiment, pouvant s'avérer trop coûteuse, il fut convenu de demander des plans pour une partie du projet seulement, et ce afin de limiter les dépenses à environ 40,000$ dans la première phase.Sur cette somme, il était possible d'obtenir une subvention de quelque 25,000$ ce qui rendait réalisable ce projet.Une seconde rencontre a été tenue avec les maires vers la fin d'octobre, et l\u2019on a,à ce moment, discuté principalement des implications concernant certaines normes du Gouvernement, lesquelles pourraient s'appliquer tant au bâtiment existant qu'à la nouvelle partie ou aux rénovations.Ce point trés important, relativement en outre à la sécurité contre les incendies, est demeuré sans réponse précise et les représentants municipaux ont donc décidé d'attendre le rapport d'inspection du Gouvernement concernant les normes pour les réparations et les modifications au bâtiment existant s'il y avait lieu.D'un commun accord, il fut décidé d'attendre ce rapport avant de procéder aux réparations de la salle du second plancher de la Patinoire Cette affirmation pourra vous être confirmée par les maires et les représentants présents à cette rencontre.Jusqu'à ce moment, à mon avis, les choses se passaient normalement et comme il est est normal, avant que les travaux débutent.les conseils devaient être avisés el consentir par résolution bre.Vers le début du Mois de novembre.les travaux de réparations pour la salle ont commencé et.selon toute évidence Jes recommandations du Gouvernement devraient être favorables.Ce qui me parait 1n- vraisemblable, c'est que le rapport du fameux inspecteur du gouvernement démontre que l'inspection a eu lieu le 28 novembre 1984.donc.les travaux de rénovations de la salle avaient débuté avant l'inspection et contrairement à ce qui avait été décidé à la réunion a la mi-octobre.Certains renseignements me manquent sûrement à savoir qui a décidé de procéder aux réparations avant le dépôt du rapport d'inspection.Là où les choses se compliquent, c'est que ce rapport est passablement volumineux et contient certaines exigences qu pourraient mettre la municipalité mandataire dans l'obligation de contracter un emprunt très important au nom de la Patinoire.En effet.une étude des recommandations démontrent qu'un système d'alarme contre les incendies devra être mis en place.ce qui pourrait aller chercher dans les 3.0008.Les changements concernant la mise en place de revêtement résistant au feu, selon ces mêmes recommandations.pourraient coûter 25.0008: les modifications aux portes d'accés et de sorties d'urgence, modifications aux estrades, au vestibule.nouvel escalier.hall.se chiffreraient à 15,000$: et le remplacement des \u201cplexiglass dans les fenétres entre le hall.la salle et la patinoire.par des vitres qui résistent au feu pendant 45 minutes coûterait facilement un autre $10.000.La recommandation d'installer des boyaux et des extincteurs n'est pas tellement coûteuse.et certes moindre que celle où lon semble obliger l'installation d'un système automatique à eau pour l'ensemble du bâtiment.ce qui serait semble-t-il.très onéreux.Lors de la réunion d'oe- tobre.j'avais souligné que des morceaux de rouille tombaiïent sur la glace à chaque fois que la rondelle heurtait la structure de métal.Mon commentaire avait fait rire certaines personnes qui ne comprenaient pas de toute GRAVURE

détériore vt.de plus, cette matière est un risque d'accident sur la glace Selon le rapport du Gouvernement, la structure devra être nettoyée au jet de sable.par exemple, et repeinte.ce qui est à mon avis des plus normal De plus, lu Patinoire devra fournir une at testation sur la solidité de l'édifice emise sous le sceau d'un ingémieur ou d'un architecte.et ce pour le 14 janvier 1985 En résumé les réparations pourraient toucher ou depasser les 100,000$, afin de satisfaire les normes du ministére de l'Habitation et de la Protection du consommateur.Il faut évidemment ajouter que les coûts de réparations de la salle de plus de 50.0008 lorsqu'ils seront terminés.L'on répondra que ces coûts sont octroyés avec un 25.000$ mais n'aurait-il pas êté mieux pour la population d'appliquer ce même octroi, et peut-être plus sur des mesures sécuritaires afin qu'un simple incendie ne nous fasse pas vivre un second \u201cChapais québécois\u201d Jacques Leduc Patinage libre gratuit Huntingdon

de joie et les applaudissements, à l'arrivée d'un personnage trés populaire à cette époque-ci de l\u2019année: le Père Noël en personne.L'occasion de cette visite mémorable etait un \u201cbrunch\u201d organisé au profit de la Pré-maternelle d'Ormstown.Pas moins de 175 repas y ont été servis, de loin l'année la plus fructueuse pour cette activité.De plus, cette année, un mini-bazar se déroulait tout au long de la journée.Après la visite du Père Noël, incarné pour la deuxième année de suite par Doug Templeton de Howick (ne le dites surtout pas aux tout-petits), les enfants réunis devant la scène ont été fascinés par les prouesses \u2018du jongleur, Fane Triggs de Hem- mingford, celui-là même qui avait donné une représentation à l'école \u201cCVR'\u2019 le printemps dernier.Les profits de cette journée, qui fut très appréciée par les parents ainsi que les enfants, on été assez considérables, soit 540$.Mme Gisèle Brennan, présidente du comité organisateur du financement, s'est dit très satisfaite de ce montant ainsi récolté.Elle tient à remercier les autres membres de ce comité qui ont contribué au succés de cette journée: Elaine Bergevin, Sherolyn-Ann Dahmeé, Jo-Ann McKenzie, Diane Miller.Errolyn Rennie.avec un merci tout spécial 4 Nadia Geukjian qui fut la premiére presidente et qui depuis six ans ne ménage ni son temps ni son énergie afin d'assurer la bonne marche de cet organisme.Mme Brennan tient également à souligner l'appui et l'aide de l'Eglise presbytérienne, de Harold Kerr.de M.et Mme Alvin Gruer, Barbara D'Aoust qui a confectionné pas moins de 100 petits gateaux, Jocelyn Lefort qui s'est occupée de Ja décoration et, enfin, de tous les parents qui ont contribué de près ou de loin à cette fête.Rappelons que la Pré- maternelle d'Ormstown fonctionne déjà depuis six ans et que près de 150 élèves ont pu bénéficier des services offerts par cette coopérative administrée par les parents.Un nouveau professeur, Mme Sharon Ritchie, vient de se joindre à la pré- maternelle.Originaire du Rhode Island, elle s'avère avec ses 15 années d\u2019expérience, un excellent professeur, se distinguant par ses programme d'éducation fort intéressants pour le jeune enfant.Ainsi plusieurs projets sont à prévoir à la reprise des cours en janvier.Le Père Noël a participé à un brunch au profit de la pré-maternelle d'Ormstown.\u2018 LA MEILLEURE INVENTION DEPUIS LA

commissaires, une entorse Longueuil - Depuis le début de l'étude article par article du projet de loi 3 sur la restructuration scolaire en Commission parlementaire, le Gouvernement du Québec n\u2019a manifesté aucune intention de modifier la formule qu\u2019il propose pour l'élection scolaire, Cette proposition s'inscrit comme suit: le tiers du conseil des commissaires élu par les membres des conseils d'école et les deux tiers élus au suffrage universel.Charles Péron, porte parole des commissions scolaires de la région Montréal-Sud et président de la Commission scolaire des Moissons, a noté que le Gouvernement doit tenir compte du fait que cette presque totalité des intervenants entendus en Commission parlementaire du 12 \u2018au 16 novembre dernier.\u201cCette formule est une entorse à la démocratie\u2019, a précisé Charles Péron.En effet, elle donne droit de voter deux fois à une catégorie de citoyens car les parents voteraient pour un\u2019 commissaire en suffrage universel dans leur quartier après avoir déjà voté à l'école pour un autre commissaire de la même commission scolaire élu parmi les membres du conseil d'école.Les citoyens de quartier, eux, n\u2019auront pas tous droit de vote pour le commissaire provenant des conseils -d'école.Cette situation formule a été rejétée parla provoquerait la création de fr UE - EP) M) (PIRE Joyeuses | Vy dl
