the future as further growth becomes possible,\u201d Mr.Tinker said in a message to all employees after his appointment by a special meeting of the Board of Directors Dec.4.The letter was designed

Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cleyn & Tinker Ltd., was by unanimous vote of the board and came eight days after Mr.Cleyn\u2019s sudden death at the age of 61 following a stroke.Mr.Tinker will also fill the various offices held by Mr.Cleyn in the subsidiary companies of the Cleyn & Tinker in the organization in Canada and Ireland.To proceed He said that several projects approved by the Board of Directors under Mr.Cleyn's guidance and related to continued growth of the companies will be proceeded with as well as the planning of others that were under study at the time of Mr.Cleyn\u2019s death.Mr.Tinker said the company faced a period of adjustment in management affairs in the next few months and in due course there would be some change in senior executive management.The text of his letter headed \u2018\u2018The Immediate Future\u2019, follows: A Message to All Staff and to All Employees.Last week we mourned together the passing of my business partner and very close friend, François Cleyn.The effects of the severe shock that followed his sudden unexpected death will be evident for quite some time to come.His well known natural leadership

Grant There had been casier indications from Quubec that the filtration project in Huntingdon qualified for a grant.But there had been nothing definite on the proportion of the costs Quebec might assume.Necessary Step Council's recent decision to increase water taxes by 20 per cenl was not only necessary to meet a $20,000 deficit in water costs, snid the mayor, it was also 2 necessary step if the grani from Quebec was to be vi- tained.\u201cEvery time we approached Quebec in It matter of a grant we were told our rates, in comparison with other Quebec com munities, were too low,\u2019 said the mayor.He noted that enti! council approved an increase to $40 inthe water tax, the rate was $33 a year, a vate which Quebec water authorities termed \u2018\u2018ridiculous\u201d when the average throughout the province was $126 for sewage and water.For both sewage and water the Huntingdon rate was $63.Work on the renovation of the water plant, which will involve a 12-inch main and a settling

Christmas decorations are being stolen.And smashed.IT USED TO BE - that people thought kids were stealing outdoor multi-colored holiday decorations and selling them toa \u2018fence\u2019 who would in turn pass them on to indiscriminate retailers.Now we're not so sure.IN ORMSTOWN - on Mondas :1n.- a family noticed the tree they had spent conusitcrable time decorating on Saturday looked bare.Goi vatside to investigate, the lady of the house was disappointed to see that the sets of lights had been stripped from the tree.[We say disappointed, not \u2018surprised\u2019 because similar pilfering occurred at the East- mount home last year].The lady walked up the street and sure enough, she found most of her holiday decorations, smashed on the sidewalk.WHAT A PITY - not only because of the money and time involved, but because some elderly neighbors who no longer feel up to decorating their own yard had phoned Sunday evening to say how much they enjoyed the festive lighting.MANY PEOPLE - not only in Ormstown - have given up trying to decorate at this time of year because of this type of vandalism.AND VANDALISM is the name of the game.If the kids needed the lights or even wanted them for their own homes, the victims might overlook this type of petty thieving.But it isn't that at all .those kids were just out to destroy the property of others.One might describe them as \u2018bad\u2019 kids, the type the town could do without.BUT HOLD IT - hold it right there.What about the parents?Why do they condone such mischief?About a year ago, several neighbors saw this type of vandalism occur and one of the victims went to the home of the youngsters who had been seen stealing Christmas decorations.The parents just laughed and declared that their children wouldn't do such a thing .that was it.SO THE KIDS - go their merry way - and again this season they're getting their kicks out of smashing the property of others.They know they'll get away with it .their parents are too dense to suspect them of any wrong doing.THOSE PARENTS \u2014 would be doing themselves and their youngsters a favor if they were to question their youngsters and find out for themselves just what's going on.If they don't, they needn't ask themselves [or others] \u2018Where did we go wrong?\" when their youngsters are a little olde and in a lot more trouble.AND HERE IN OURTOWN - 15-year-old Briar

air moved in late Sunday and by Monday morning the ice that had formed on wires, windshields, branches, etc.had disappeared.A number of minor accidents occurred in the area because of slippery

Rotarians Gerald Brisebois and Robert Ploufie joined a couple of weeks ago?Seems that the roster used to be depleted during the winter months when some Rotarians left for the winter homes in Florida but now the supper table will remain filled.More than 3u0 members were in attendance at this week's meeting.JON PROUDFOOT - an amateur astrologist (he sez) was quizmaster.He started off with a

were laughing, Don Hartley gave the correct answer and collected the pot.For a change.AND THE MEMBERS - all picked up tickets Huntingdon Regional Arena manager Mr.Florian Tardif had left prior to

just across the border at Fort Covington, N.Y.- live a couple of ladies who proved one night last week that they can handle just about any emergency.We refer to Mrs.Bentley LaPage and Mrs.Larry Solvay whose ages are 79 and 73, respectively.They live together at the formier\u2019s house on Drum st.THEY WERE SITTING AT THE KITCHEN TABLE - playing cards - a week ago Monday.About 8:30 p.m.there was a knock at the door and a man asked if he could use the phone.Mrs.LaPage said \u2018\u2018Certainly, come on in.\u201d They showed him where the phone was located and the man went to it, paused, then said he had forgotten the number and left.THE LADIES FOUND THAT STRANGE - so they locked the outside door - then returned to their card game.A few minutes later, they were startled by a loud crash, they by the inside door being shoved open.The man with the poor memory for phone numbers burst in, this time brandishing a stick.He demanded money.The ladies said they didn\u2019t have any cash in the house that night.OBVIOUSLY AGITATED - the would-be thief raised the stick above his head and in a threatening manner reiterated his demand for money.Mrs LaPage winked at Mrs.Solvay and, feigning fear, said \u2018Just a minute, I'll go and see.\u201d\u2019 and she took a few steps away from the table.As the man\u2019s gaze followed her Mrs.Solvay grabbed their unwelcome guest from behind and knocked him off balance.TOGETHER - the two women then acted as one - they pushed, shoved, pummelled and finally forced their would-be assailant outside the door.They couldn\u2019t lock the outside door again .it had ben smashed to smithereens by the intruder .but they locked the inside door.This done, they rushed to the phone to call Mrs.LaPage\u2019s son Donald who lives a short distance down the same street.Almost simultaneously, they heard the telephone line to the house being yanked down.The phone went dead.BY NOW - the women were quite upset but they kept their cool.They saw the reflection of car lights approaching over the Salmon River Drum St.bridge.As it neared, they flicked the porch light off and on.Danny MacDonald saw the signal and, realizing something was amiss, stopped to investigate.As soon as he heard the story, he immediately drove to the home of Mrs.LaPage\u2019s son Don.AS DANNY AND DON - arrived they saw the Akwesasne police car coming down Drum St.They flagged it down.After determing that the elderly ladies were none the worse for their battle with the intruder, they discovered that the ° latter had severely cut his hands while yanking down the phone line.This time the men deserve credit, because they soon located the would-be assailant.The man had left blood stains on the outside wall of the house and as he was still bleeding profusely, he was taken to the Alice Hyde Hospital in Malone.After treatment, he was taken to the Franklin County jail.He faces three charges.CONGRATULATIONS - to Mrs.LaPage and Mrs.Solvay - both brave women.WOULD YOU BELIEVE - the mercury climbed to 40-plus Monday eve before the wind from the north-west caused it to plunge to the mid-twenties Tuesday?VALLEYFIELD -

Huntingdon this year is going to have a municipal Christmas tree with lights aglow as in past years.It will stand in front of the Municipal building.a symbol of the season and the good will it embodies.Huntingdon is also going to have a Christmds lights competition.Both these decisions by Council seem well taken even though some * spoilsports will criticise and mutter about an energy crisis.What energy crisis?Up to now it seems to be mostly something the daily newspapers and the politicians are talking up, the latter with not much helpful information or guidance.One day they say it\u2019s upon us and terrible.Next day they say take heart.it won't be so bad.The day after that the crepe hangers are at it again.As Alderman J.S.Gaw told Council, there is no shortage of electricity in Huntingdon.So let\u2019s have our tree and nur lights and enjoy them and the spirit of the season.Something the newspapers and the politicians forget is that Canadians are not so long removed from the days when they walked because they had to, when they used oil lamps because there was no electricity, the women used wash tubs and none of us had electric razors or powered toothbrushes.Maybe we are fat cats, living it up a little.But there's nothing to prove we can\u2019! cope if and when we ever have to live the hard way.It might even do us good.Worthy of support The approaching holiday season has long been a time of wonder and celebration for the peoples of the varth.[It is the winter solstice, the moment when the sun begins its journey back toward the earth, when the days begin to lengthen.Throughout the ages peoples have greeted the winter solstice with rejoicing.The Jews called it Hanakkuh and link their celebration with the heroic exploits of Judah the Maccabean.The Druids called it Mother Night.The Venerable Bede, an English monk and historian, records that the Angli before their conversion to Christianity celebrated Dec.25 as the first day of the new year.To the ancient Romans, it was Saturnalia.The Scandinavians gave it the name of Yule, and feasted.From many lands and cultures THANKS FOR YOUR.HELP, MISTER WHITE came the customs we now identify with this holiday season: candles, holly, mistletoe, yule logs, evergreens, carol singing.Although the custom is only 130 vears old.the sending of greeting cards is now an established part of the holiday observance and at this time the UNICEF Greeting Cards program is particularly appropriate, both in their quality - designs for the cards are donated by world-renowned artists - and in their larger purpose.The United Nations Children\u2019s Fund speaks for the children of developing countries round the world.On a UNICEF Greeting Card your season's greeting is more than a friendly wish.Long after the holiday, your wish is working in UNICEF long-term programs in 111 countries in health, education.nutrition and family and child welfare.THAT SURE WAS A L{ TER + UCT UME -

She was on the Provincial Board as President and as Convener of Welfare and Health and also served on the Federal Board.Many honors In 1939 she represented Quebec Institutes at the ACWW Conference in London, Eng.In 1941 she was honored with the Commander of the Order of Agricultural Merit, Quebec, by Premier Godbont.She still attentls every meeting and thanking the members for her pin, Mrs.Petch said that the W.1.had Introduced her to many interesting people, not only on the local and provincial \u201c Robertson as Mrs.Westover, Provincial President, congratulating Mrs.Petch after pinning-on her 50 year pin at Hem- levels, but all across Canada and in 1939, when she had represented Quebec Institutes at the Associated Countrywomen of the World Conference in London, Eng., she had met them from all round the world.\u201cIt was a wonderful experience,\u201d she said, \u201c\u2018and I am still interested in W.I.and its doings.\u201d AtSt-Luke's The 50th Anniversary celebrations took place in the St-Luke's Anglican Hall in Hemmingford.The W.L colors - blue and gold - were used in the table decorations, candles and flowers etc., and made an attractive setting for the guests who came from the other seven Branches in the County and from Sutton.The program began with \u201cO Canada\u201d with Mrs.J.L'Esperance at the piano.After President Mrs.P.Reid, welcomed the guests, the Ode was sung and the Collect repeated.Mrs.W.Keddy pinned a corsage of pink carnations on Mrs.Petch and congratulated her on her past 50 years with the W.I.and hoped she would enjoy many more in the future.Mrs.H.Palmer pinned a corsage on the Provincial President, Mrs.J.Westover, and introduced her to the ladies present.Memories The minutes of the first two meetings were read by Mrs.H.McAdam and a short resumé of the Branch activities over the past 50 years were given by Mrs.R.Schimmelpfeng and Mrs.J.Robertson.Baby Clinics and School Fairs were illustrated by tableau with Mrs.G.Gaese portraying a fine bouncing \u2018baby\u2019 and Mrs.\u2018proud mama\u201d while Mrs.Schimmelpfeng did her part as a \u201cFair\u201d judge!

a Gold Pin, Brian Porter and Albert Kerr; a Silver Enamel pin, Barbara Ker; a Silver pin, Richard Wilson; A Bronze Enamel, Dawn MacDougal.On Sunday morning, members of the Athelstan Presbyterian Church were pleased to welcome members from Elgin and St.Andrews congregations to a joint communion service.Rev.Clair MacLeod B.A., M.A., conducted the Service of Holy Communion and his sermon was entitled \u2018This Table Benefits The Faithful.\u201d The following persons were received as members into full communion in the Presbyterian Church of Canada; Robert Arthur, Mrs.Robert Arthur, Richard Arthur, April Donnelly, Kenneth Elder and Mrs.Fred Ross.Also welcomed upon transferring their membership to St.Andrews in Huntingdon were \u201cMF.and Mrs.Fred Armstrong:-and Miss Marguerite Fiddes.One hundred and 51 persons received the sacraments of Holy Communion which were served by the elders of Athelstan Church assisted by those of Elgin and St.Andrews.The organ music was provided by Mrs.Grace Gray.Ormstown Mrs.Donald McEwen Miss Susan Squires of Howick spent the weekend with Miss Marianne Laurin.Get well wishes to Mr.Armstrong who is a patient at the Barrie Memorial Hospital.Mr.and Mrs.Henry Thurston and family of Lorraine were weekend guests of Mrs.Rita Thur- ston.> ;

de là, ils revinrent à Huntingdon par le chemin Fairview.Sur la photo, vous pouvez voir trois demoiselles marchant courageusement, et embellissant ainsi la nature d'automne.à nr feb ig i i ii fie ait HE Le maire de St-Anicet, Lucien Perron, le député du comté de Huntingdon, Ken Fraser, et le président du Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville, Alcide Caza, étaient de la fête samedi soir lors de l\u2019ouverture officielle de la nouvelle salle récréative de Cazaville.Pas de police à Ormstown par Pierre Lord \u201cIl était une fois une police à Ormstown, mais maintenant il n\u2019y en a plus\u201d.Ces quelques mots peuvent décrire très bien la situation qui existe au sein de la municipalité d'Ormstown depuis quelque temps.Dernièrement, le conseil du Village d\u2019Ormstown vendait leur auto-patrouille.Ceci voulait dire aussi qu\u2019il n\u2019y aurait aucune force policière municipale pour cet endroit.\u201cPas de force policière pour le moment\u201d, de dire le secrétaire-trésorier, M.Marcil, au rédacteur de La Gazette.On ne peut critiquer la position des autorités municipales car on sait très bien qu\u2019une force policière comporte d\u2019énormes dépenses.La situation financiere d\u2019Ormstown, à la suite d'autres projets déjà entamés, empêche l\u2019établissement de cette force policière.Auparavant, cette municipalité avait une force policière à temps partiel, Mais pour des circonstances, le tout fut abandonné.Des gens avaient demandé au conseil municipal en août dernier de regarder la situation et de voir à trouver une solution.Toujours si le tout est possible.Il semble que le conseil municipal regarda de près le problème, mais les solutions se faisaient rares à cause de leur situation présente.Une lueur d\u2019espoir fut mentionnée toutefois: il se pourrait que dans un avenir incertain une force policière soit réinstallée à Ormstown.Actuellement, la la Sécurité Avec des souhaits sincères à l\u2019occasion de la Saison des Fêtes, l'Escouade volontaire des Sapeurs de la municipalité de Huntingdon lance un appel à la prudence et à la sécurité.C'est pourquoi l'inspecteur d'incendie, Léo Leduc, nous fit parvenir la semaine dernière quelques recommandations pour la bonne sécurité des gens lors des Fétes.En ce qui concerne les arbres naturels, on demande de vous assurer que la base est toujours dans l'eau.Aussi, on note de ne pas placer l'arbre de Noël près des bouches d'air chaud.municipalité est desservie par la Sûreté du Québec, détachement de Ste-Martine.Il ne faut pas dire que la municipalité d'Ormstown est terrassée par une vague de crimes, mais les contribuables de cet endroit ne sont pas très contents tout de même, Il y existe apparemment un problème de circulation des autos, de la vitesse, du bruit, et les motocyclistes sont aussi de la fête.Des groupes de jeunes circulent aux petites heures du matin: en somme, ce sont les problèmes qui confrontent Ormstown.La subvention totalise un montant de $436,913.Le coût estimé des travaux de rénovation se chiffre autour de $726,000.La nouvelle concernant cet octroi provient du député provincial de Huntingdon, M.Ken Fraser; cette nouvelle prit naissance dans le bureau du ministre Victor Goldbloom, des Affaires Municipales de la belle province.\u2018Nous sommes très contents\u2019\u2019, de dire le maire Claude Pilon de Huntingdon.\u201cCeci est une chose pour lequelle nous avons travaillé férocement depuis les deux dernières années\u201d, conclut le maire Pilon.Des indications antérieures du Ministére des Affaires Municipales auraient montré que le projet de rénovation de l\u2019usine de filtration de Huntingdon était éligible à un octroi gouvernemental.Mais, toutefois, alors, on ne mentionnait aucunement le montant que le gouvernement québécois défraierait en aide financière.La récente décision du conseil d\u2019augmenter les taxes d\u2019eau de 20% était nécessaire afin de rencontrer un déficit de $20,000 dans les coûts de l\u2019eau, le maire expliqua-t-il, mais il était aussi nécessaire de faire ce pas si un octroi du gouvernement devait être obtenu.\u201cA chaque fois que nous approchions le gouvernement dans cette affaire pour une subvention, on nous dissit que nos taux, en comparaison avec d'autres communautés de la province, étaient trop bas\u201d, mentionna Claude Pilon.comité de La GAZETTE, par l\u2019entremise de son rédaction, population que toute convocation pour une conférence de presse événement doit être dirigée au bureau du journal [soit au Gleaner, rue Chateauguay a Huntingdon], ou par téléphone au bureau a 261-3364 ou 264-5365, ou encore au domicile du rédacteur à 264-2929.De cette façon, La GAZETTE évitera tout malheureux.La rédaction ne veut ainsi pas passer par des tiers-partis; nous voulons tout simplement des sources certaines.Cyril Alary, rédacteur de La Gazette avise toute la soirée ou autre inconvénient DEBUT DES TRAVAUX POUR LES JEUX LTÉE LTD.ion {8 3 Aa} Le maire Claude Pilon de Huntingdon, le coor- donateur des Jeux, Lucien Miron le président de la C.S.R.S., Gérald Pinsonneault, le maire de Valleyfield, Raphael Barrette, le président de la Corporation des Jeux du Québec, Claude Lefebvre, Salaberry, Gérald Pinsonneault, fit la première pelletée de terre traditionnelle lundi matin, commémorant ainsi le début prochain des travaux Jeux du .Juébec 24 \u2019 why et le président du conseil d'adnnmistration du CRLSO, Florian Tardif, acceptèrent bien volontiers le début prochain des travaux pour l'aménagement de complexe sportif en vue des Jeux du Québec de 1974.Le tout se déroulait lundi matin à la Baie St- François.d\u2019amenagement à l\u2019école polyvalente Baie St- François de divers complexes sportifs pour les Jeux du Québec de l\u2019été 1974.La Salle Récréative de Cazaville est inauguree Par Jean-Louis Martin La population de Cazaville, pourra dès maintenant se divertir et s'amuser dans leur nouvelle salle récréative qui fut Inaugurée samedi soir dernier par une danse d'ouverture.C'est avec grand intérêt que les gens de cette petite localité Se firent un devoir de venir en si grand nombre à l'occasion de l\u2019ouverture de leur salle.Ces derniers se rendirent Compte certainement que ce projet ne serait pas une réalité aujourd\u2019hui sans la participation de tous au point de vue Monétaire et aussi sans la participation active au projet.C est le Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville qui prit en main la réalisation de cette nouvelle salle, et ce sont ces organisateurs qui y mirent du tigre afin que le tout devienne Une réalité évidente: en somme, le Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville fut le principal artisan de cette idée de construire une salle récréative.Mais, ce qui est remarquable, c'est la participation des Bens & cette réaljsation.La participation de la population oe toujours l'élément positif et constructif de tout ojet.Vers les 20 neures, Jean-Jacques Boyer, du Cercle des ISIrs, prit la parole, invitant I\u2019assistance a participer au t des cérémonies officielles.Son allocution de quelques Minutes se résume ainsi: \u201cC\u2019est un grand privilège pour moi Que de vous souhaiter la bienvenue au nom du président et des directeurs du Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville.C\u2019est en leur nom que je me permets de vous remercier de votre Présence et surtout de l'aide, tant monétaire que technique, Que vous avez apportée pour l'année qui se termine,\u201d Jean-Jacques Boyer continua en disant: \u2018La salle où nous sommes réunis ce soir est un accomplissement sans précé- dent dans lesannalesde la paroisse au point de vue des loisirs et c'est à vous que nous le devons.Nous sommes les bras de cette organisation, vous êtes les artisans.Vous avez su écouter avec patience pour ensuite oeuvrer conjointement avec nous dans cette réalisation.Vous n'avez qu'à regarder autour de vous pour voir la fierté et le remerciement qui se lisent dans les visages.\u201d Ensuite, Jean-Jacques Boyer nomma et identifia le conseil d'administration du Cercle des Loisirs de Cazaville: Alcide Caza au poste de président;

; Le député provincial, Ken Fraser, le maire Lucien Perron de la municipalité de St-Anicet et le curé Emile Daigneault de cette même paroisse firent en sorte le cérémonial de bénédiction de cette nouvelle salle récréative.Une soirée dansante termina la soirée, Mise en demeure contre le S-O Faisant suite à la mise en demeure de la Commission Scolaire Régionale de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, le magazine régional le Sud- Ouest Express, tenait une conférence de nouvelles au Club Touriste de Valleyfield, lundi après-midi, afin de définir ses positions.Jean-Noël Bilodeau, chef de la rédaction au Sud-Ouest, et Jean Bastien, directeur à cette revue, mentionnèrent les grandes lignes de la lettre d'une firme d'avocats de la métropole canadienne qu'ils ont reçue.Cette lettre invite le Sud-Ouest à divulguer les noms des signataires d\u2019une lettre parue dans la chronique \u2018Opinions\u2019 de l'édition du mois de novembre et titrée \u2018Ca continue à la polyvalente\".Oh donne aussi un déjai de dix jours pour répondre.A cela, le rédacteur Bilodeau mentionne qu'il ne prend pas cette mise en demeure comme sérieuse, et que la réponse est négative en ce qui concerne le fait de nommer les noms des signataires.Ce communiqué de presse fut remis aux journalistes présents afin d'expliquer clairement la situation: le voici.\u201cLe magazine Sud-Ouest Express a reçu, vendredi, une mise en demeure d'un bureau d'avocats de Montréal, représentant la Commission Scolaire Régionale de Vaudreuil- Soulanges.Cette mise en demeure nous \u201cinvite\u201d à divulguer à la Commission scolaire régionale Vaudreuil- Soulanges les noms des signataires d\u2019une lettre parue dans notre chronique Jacques Tremblay, secréta \u201cOpinions\u201d de l'édition du mois de novembre et titrée: \u2018Ca continue a la polyvalente\u201d.Ii va sans dire que nous considérons cette mise en demeure de la part d'un corps public comme une atteinte formelle à la liberté d'expression et même une menace directe à la liberté d'information de presse régionale.Nous considérons qu'il n'y a dans la notre lettre des ire du SERMI, le directeur du Sud-Ouest, Jean \u2018professeurs au boutte\u2019 aucune allégation de nature diffamatoire qui puisse justifier légalement de communiquer le nom véritable des signataires.D'ailleurs, nous comprenions déjà, au moment de ia publication de la lettre le pourquoi de l'anonymat des professeurs, par suite du harcèlement incompréhensible de la C.S.R.V.S.(le nombre des (Suite à la page 18) * Bastien, et le rédacteur en chef Jean-Noël Bilodeau, de cette même revue, étaient présents lundi après-midi afin d\u2019expliquer aux journalistes leur réponse à la mise en demeure de la Commission Scolaire Régionale Vaudreuil- Soulanges.

ne sera connu de façon officielle qu'en janvier 1974.1] continua en disant que ceci fut confirmé par Gaétan Brodeur, du Ministère des Affaires Municipales, département de l'annexion.On sait que la

grande émotion que j'ai pensé qu'il serait de mise pour moi, en tant que président du Conseil de l\u2019Institut Canadien des Textiles, d'écrire quelques mots à l'occasion de la disparition d'un ami très près de moi, François Cleyn.Je l\u2019ai connu à mon arrivée au Canada il y a 26 ans et je ; me rappelle la première fois \" que nous nous sommes rencontrés, dans un terrain de stationnement, Venant tous les deux de visites à des clients.1! était déjà le président de la firme très bien connue, Leach Textiles, et j'étais simplement un jeune dessinateur en textiles et ingénieur, essayant de me faire connaître.Je me souviens très bien de la chaleur avec laquelle il me salua et me demanda des questions sur les débuts de ma carrière, en me disant que si j'avais besoin d'aide, sa porte était toujours ouverte.Dans toute ma carrière en affaires, je ne pense pas avoir connu d'homme qui pouvait traiter avec une égale compétence de sujets aussi disparates que les textiles, le commerce, la politique, l'équipement, la façon de vivre, les voyages et la philosophie.Parlant couramment autant que cinq langues, il était connu dans le monde entier.Je me souviens, lorsque j'ai assisté à la Conférence internationale sur la laine à Rome en mai, cette année, combien de personnes ont pris de ses nouvelles (il n'avait pas pu s\u2019y rendre cette fois) à un point tel que cela en devenait finalement presque gênant.ils estimaient tous que la Conférence ne pouvait pas être exactement Ja même sans M.Cleyn.Los Je crois bien que je o A gy XL la vie éserve, tonald | I } | | | | J | | | | | ) | i J Le mot du Rédacteur La sécurité sur glace Nous avons tendance à croire que les noyades se produisent l'été.Bien qu\u2019en réalité la majorité des noyades au Canada surviennent pendant la saison chaude, près de 10% ont lieu l'hiver.Ainsi.de novembre 1972 à mars 1973, quelque 120 personnes se sont noyées au Canada.Un grand nombre de ces accidents tragiques se sont produits sur les rivières, les \u2018lacs et les étangs recduverts de glace.Les patineurs s'élancent sur une glace trop mince pour supporter leur poids; les chasseurs prennent imprudemment des raccourcis; les fervents de la motoneige, attirés par les vastes étendues d\u2019eau gelée, oublient le poids de leur lour lourde machine.L'hiver dernier a été marqué de nombreux accidents.Des vagues de temps doux ont succédé à des froids intenses, causant des dégels subits.Ces sauts de température ont pour effet de miner la glace qui, tout en gardant une apparence de solidité, s'effrite et devient une ruche de poche d'air.Elle peut céder sous le moindre poids.La Société canadienne de la Croix- Rouge, alarmée par le taux élevé des accidents de l'hiver dernier, a réuni quelques conseils de sécurité à l'intention des amateurs des sports de glace.\u201cLa sécurité sur glace commence par la vérification des conditions\u201d, dit Jean- Denis Godbout, directeur du service de sécurité aquatique de la Croix-Rouge au Québec.\u2018Cette vérification doit être faite à CHAQUE FOIS, avant de s'aventurer sur la glace.Les courants, les changements de temps, la pluie, affectent la solidité de la glace.Si vous n'êtes pas sûr de la solidité de la glace, n\u2019y allez pas.\u201d Cependant, si malgré vos précautions il vous arrive d'enfoncer sous la glace, efforcez-vous au calme.La panique est votre pire ennemi.N'essayez pas de grimper hors du trou, la glace continuera de se briser sous votre poids.Allongez vos bras sur la glace.Battez des jambes pour atteindre une position horizontale.Essayez de vous glisser sur la glace.Même si la glace se brise continuez cette méthode.Il faut répartir le plus également possible le poids de votre corps.Une fois sorti du trou, restez allongé sur la glace et rampez ou roulez-vous vers la glace solide.Mettez la police au courant de l'accident sans tarder afin qu'elle prenne les Mesures nécessaires pour prévenir une tragédie.; \u2018Enfin, si quelqu'un s\u2019enfonce dans un trou d'eau, ne vous élancez pas à son secours.Placez-vous aussi loin que possible du trou et tendez à la victime une perche, une branche, une échelle ou lancez lui une corde solide.Vous pouvez aussi improviser un dispositif de sauvetage en nouant solidement, l\u2019un à l'autre, des chandails et des coupe-vent.Dites à 'accidenté de battre des jambes .de rester allongé et que vous allez le tirer en lieu sar.\u201d Rentes aux accidentés A compter du premier janvier 1974, les rentes accordées en vertu de la Loi des accidents du travail seront haussées de 3%.Cette augmentation s\u2019inscrit dans le programme de revalorisation annuelle des rentes prévue par la Loi.La Commission des accidents du travail verse des rentes à près de 26,000 bénéficiaires.De ce nombre, on compte 18,217 accidentés souffrant d\u2019incapacité partielle ou totale, 936 travailleurs atteints de maladies professionnelles.Dans le cas des moins de 18 ans, et 504 de plus de 18 ans qui sont encore aux études.La Commission verse également des rentes à 40 enfants invalides.Cette hausse de rentes exigera une somme supplémentaire d\u2019environ 7 millions qui sera versée au fonds d\u2019accidents; ce fonds est alimenté par les cotisations que les employeurs versent chaque année à la Commission.Le montant de la rente mensuelle versée à une veuve passe ainsi de $147.08 à $151.49; chaque enfant recevra $39.40 au lieu de $38,25.La rente d'un orphelin de personnes à charge du travailleur décédé, on dénombre 2805 veuves, 3197 enfants de père et de mère qui était de 60.11 sera haussée à $61.91.DOSSIER.DOSSIER L'eau est-elle bonne?La Gazette questionna certaines personnes la semaine derniére sur la question de la qualité de l'eau de la municipalité \u201cdé Huntingdon.La grande majorité des gens questionnés furent d\u2019avis que l'eau n\u2019est pas bonne.On sait que l'année dernière le \u2018\u2018Water and Pollution Control Magazine Nommait la municipalité de Huntingdon parmi trente municipalités avec une eau potable de qualité douteuse.Les gens croient que leur eau n\u2019est pas la meilleure; ils ne mentionnérent pas le pourquoi, mais il semble toutefois que plusieurs sont de cet avis.Pourtant, le secrétaire- trésorier de la municipalité, Me Richard Alary, nous mentionnait qu\u2019il n'avait reçu qu'un seul rapport négatif sur les échantillons d'eau de Huntingdon depuis près de deux ans.Le mème magazine publiait dernièrement un autre article sur la qualité de l'eau potable dans 80 localités de la belle province.Cette fois, aucun nom de Municipalité ne fut mentionné, mais les gens de Huntingdon croient qu\u2019ils Sont du groupe.Voici les Principales grandes lignes de cet article qui parut dernièrement : \u201cD y est fait état de relevés, publiés par l'ad- Ministration provinciale, Selon lesquels, au début de celte année, près de 80 Petites localités, toutes dotées d'installations d'épuration, livraient une au \u201csusceptible de porter alteinte a la santé\u2019.Dans la région mon- réalaise, au mois d'avril, il Y avait 20 localités dont au Moins un échantillon d'eau potable renfermait des colibacilles sous forme d'infimes traces de matière fécale.\u201cEn toute sincérité, nous ne pouvons pas dire que l'eau potable au Québec est saine\u201d de dire I'éditorialiste Roger Davis.\"Il y a certes quelques régions exemptes de cette anomalie, mais que dire des localités où l\u2019eau ne subit nul traitement?\u201d \u201cIl s'agit là de cas où la province n'a fait aucun progrès.Si, dans une région donnée, l'eau ne semble pas saine, le gouvernement ne devient conscient du Cours à Ormstown Une demande fut faite à la Commission Scolaire de Huntingdon pour la location de trois locaux de classe de I'école Jean XXIII d'Orm- stown par la Chateauguay Valley Regional.Le tout consiste à donner des cours à des agriculteurs durant le jour.La Commission: Scolaire accepta cette demande.La proposition fut faite par le commissaire d'Ormstown, M.Jean-Guy Barrette.Le principal dè cette institution scolaire avait accepté un tel projet si l'argent de la location était versé aux fonds de l'école.La Commission Scolaire accepta la demande du principal car la présence d'aduites dans l\u2019école présentait certains problèmes.VIANDE POUR CONGELATEURS or QUALITE DE L'OUEST COUPEE ET ENVELOPPEE SELON VOS BESOINS

faute de signaler que le manque de personnel, dans la province de Québec, se situe à l\u2019origine du problème.\u2018Le ministre québécois de l'environnement ne dispose que de deux bureaux régionaux, soit à Montréal et à Québec.Il va de soi que, dans ces conditions, il est fort difficile de vérifier toutes les sources d'eau potable disséminées sur une superficie d\u2019un demi million de milles carrés.\u201d \u201cLe Québec n'emploi que sept agents pour l'ensemble de la province.\u201d Selon l'éditorial, une étendue du genre exigerait les services d'au moins vingt personnes.\u201d\u2019

quelques années, on nous a fait beaucoup de publicité sur le divorce et sur la vie à deux en dehors du mariage, nous donnant ainsi l'impression que le mariage était à la baisse ou qu'il était dépassé.la réalité à ce sujet est différente.En effet, depuis 1968 .il y a eu une augmentation constante des mariages dans le diocèse de Valleyfield.Alors qu'en 1968, il y avait 1029 mariages, en 1972, il y en a eu 1301, soit une augmentation de 272 mariages.Il en est de même au niveau du pays: de 1961 à 1971, il y a eu une augmentation de 7 à 87 mariages par habitant.Tous ces mariages ont été faits à l'église: très peu de couples se marient au civil même si ça fait quelques années que la chose est possible.D'avril 1972 à avrii 1973, seulement 75 couples se sont mariés au civil dans le diocèse Nombreuses de ces personnes avaient déjà été mariées.Avec l'augmentation des mariages, on a remarqué que les couples se mariaient plus jeunes.Depuis la guerre, l'âge moyen des fiancés est passé de 24 à 22 ans chez les filles ef de 27 à 25 ans chez les garcons col la courbe continue à diminuer Dans notre diocèse, 163 garçons et 518 filles qui ont 20 ans et moins se sont mariés.Un tel rajeunissement des couples nous pose question quand on sait que 85% des couples qui se marient et qui ont 20 ans el moins.aboutissent à des situations difficiles, intenables et même à des échecs.Au fond le vrai problème est celui de la maturité fragile de ceux qui se marient.Beaucoup de couples sont Récemment jeunes matheureux.C1472), on a demandé à 442 couples sur quoi ils fondaient leur

for the prairie west marked his 100th Christmas this year in Swift Current, Sask., where he is honored and much sung about by his many friends and many relatives.His birthday date is Oct.28 and on Aug.11 he was honored at Bethune (Sask.) United Church with a dinner attended by 65 friends and relatives.Robert Thompson of Athelstan is a brother who, of the family of 12, survives with two sisters, Mrs.Bert Walker of Malone, N.Y., and Mrs.George Clauesson of Athelstan.Mrs.Thompson enjoys fairly good health and has resided in Swift Current for the past few years with his grandson and granddaughter, Virgil and Eileen Gates.When he first went west Mr.Thompson farmed in the Waldorf district until 1925 when he moved to Bethune.He assisted in building barns and houses in the surrounding area and helped construct the Bethune United Church.In the 1930's he cooked for many road gangs.He enjoyed playing horseshoes and was an ardent curler to the age of 85.Mrs.Thompson died in 1904 and Mr.Thompson raised three children, the late Mrs.Jessie Fishley of Bethune, Arthur Thompson of Summerled, B.C., and Mrs.Mary McLaughlin residing in British Columbia.a kindly man who recalls no enemies ÇÛ Local people For the August party a large group of relatives, many of them long connected with the Athelstan area, went to Bethune.Mrs.Gladys Duheme of Hun- tingdon wrote the following account of the festivities for The Gleaner: Guests at the head table were Mrs.Mary McLaughlin, Mr.and Mrs.Arthur Thompson, Fred Fishley, Mrs.Laura Clauesson and Mrs.Virgil Gates.Roy Trumbley was master of Ceremonies and asked the blessing.\u2018Happy Birthday\u201d and \u2018\u2018He is a Jolly Good Fellow were sung followed by a toast proposed by Bill Cockburn of Vancouver.The reply to the toast and a special prayer were made by Douglas Thompson , grandson, of Maryland.The dinner closed by everyone joining hands and with the Amazing Grace sung by Bill Cockburn and a \u201cToast to Papa\u2019, by Bill Cockburn.The Toast: \u201c1 humbly thank the members of this grand family for allowing me to propose a toast to papa Thompson.1 am sure there is very-little written in any reference library that could At Hemmingford Square dancing in full swing With the arrival of cooler weather the Square Dancing season is in full swing at Hemmingford.At the opening of the season in the Fall a number of newcomers joined the Hemmingford Cross Trails club to learn and take part in this enjoyable and energetic pastime, and at a dance held recently in the Presbyterian Church Hall they graduated, three men and seven ladies.The Hemmingford Club is a member of the Border Booster Square Dance Association so notice of all such events is always sent to fellow clubs with the result Tinker.(continued from page 1) well as within our own group of companies in Huntingdon, Sherbrooke, Montreal and Ireland.My colleagues and I at director level and our management team understand and appreciate the reasons why many of you, particularly in Huntingdon, are at the present time uncertain of our company\u2019s future and its continued success in Canada and overseas.In recent months several proposed projects related to the continued growth of our group of companies have received the approval of our main Board of Director.Let me allay any understandable but unfounded fears that you may have about the future right now, by telling you that it is our definite intention to proceed with each of these approved projects as well as the planning of others that were being studied at the time of Mr.Cleyn\u2019's unexpected death.Our policy, under Mr.Cleyn's leadership and guidance as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was always one of continued growth, by keeping abreast of machinery technological change and market trends in the industry throughout the world.This will continue to be our policy at all times in the future, as further growth becomes possible! During the next few months it will be necessary for our companies to go through a period of adjustment in the day to day management of our affairs.This period of adjustment will then be followed by some change in senior executive management.In this, 1 have the understanding and support of my colleagues and our that members of 8 clubs converged on Hemmingford to take part in the festivities.From Lake Placid came the High Peak Squares, from Chazy the Northern Lights.The Seaway Swingers came from Greenfield Park and the North Stars from Altona, the Clover Leafs from The early pioneers uncovered the land, They did it with tough and struggling hand, They worked and toiled in the field all day And seldom stopped for a moment to play.Brave were the great and early pioneers Who worked so hard for many ears; \u2018They are the ones who paved our way, Helping us get where we are today.They turned the soil with ox and plough, Awoke al six to milk the cow; In the heat of the sun they planted the seeds, Ode to the Pioneers In cool of evening raked the garden of weeds.They worked to make a good life for us, And did it without a bit of fuss.Without them we wouldn't have what we do They were our forefathers ever so true.Pioneers deserve the best, Now they will have their much needed rest They deserve a great place in everyone's heart.For they are the ones who made the start.Read by Linda Gates possibly do justice to such a momentous occasion and, more especially to a very wonderful man.\u201cSo instead of going by the book, the toast I propose is through his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.Although I have only known Papa for N.D.G.the Polar Squares from Keeseville, the Jet Sets from Plattsburg and, of course, the Hemmingford Youth Group, the Frontier Twirlers, were there.The caller for the evening was Garry Bickes, a well-known figure in Square Dance circles!
