its participation from two to three per cent of the cost for projects meeting the criteria of the AIDA program for combined aqueduct an sewer installation.- Other business In other business, municipal

Sunday, flashing and receding at will.The flooding along the banks of the Chateauguay River was brought on when the ice in the English River thawed first, according to reports.Tow trucks responded to

secretarial competition was open to two students and one former student in the anglophone section, so instructors Miriam Coulombe, Diana Salter, Wilene Cullen and I, chose Ruth, Nancy, and Karen based

But now what?Legal experts were quick to point out that the actual long-term importance of the UN verdict is debatable.Politicians are unwilling to commit themselves on anything until they see the full written text of the UN pronouncement in, we are told, two to three weeks\u2019 time.Wanna bet they'll be more up-front then?Let\u2019s hope that, rather than being a prod to push an unwilling provincial government into slackening the linguistic choke-chain, the UN decision may be taken as reflecting an increased tolerance which already exists in Quebec's circles of power and its population as a whole - because if the will to change is not there already, it is unlikely that any pronouncement resulting from a rather remote and theoretical process will carry much weight when political push comes to shove.We think it will be easier to be blithely optimistic about all kinds of things when the sun shines, when the waters dry up, when the green things \u201cStart to grow again.i .T.[a GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago ; April 17, 1868 At 2 o'clock on Monday morning, .the saw mill belonging to William Greig, jr.situated on a creek in the Sth range of Jamestown, was totally destroyed by fire, which must have been done by some maliciously disposed person or persons, as there was no fire about .We are, therefore, forced to come to the conclusion that there are such depraved characters in the neighborhood as would be guilty of such a heinous crime.It gives us much pleasure to state that the member for our County, Mr.Rose, has finally succeeded in getting the \" authorities to stir in the matter of putting the Plank Road in a passable condition.100 years ago The importance of this road in a military point of view, being the shortest and most reliable route of communication between the St Lawrence and a long stretch of the frontier, has been taken into account by the Militia Department, .to examine the road and send in a report.There is no telling how soon an emergency similar to that of the Spring of 1866 may arise, when the safety of the Beauharnois Canal and the preservation of the property in the western end of our county would depend of the rapidity and certainty of troops being marched to our exposed points.With a good road to the lake, our isolated position with reference to Montreal would be much diminished and a greater feeling of security prevail.April 13, 1893 HOWICK A lot of bush land on California concession, belonging to the estate of the late John Newlands, consisting of ninety acres, was sold to Joseph Bourgoin for $1250.The buyer considers that he can clear $2000 out of the wood.He now has about 250 acres of land growing firewood and timber and he gives employment to about thirty men, who live in the village situated near Greig's mill on Fertile Creek.sugar making season is later than usual this spring, very little sap having been gathered up to the end of last week.A new plank walk is being laid down from the day school to the public sidewalks, a very necessary improvement.VALLEYFIELD The.ladies\u2019 aid society of the Presbyterian church are preparing for an entertainment on the evening of the 25 years ago This and That in Town .Old Sol really beamed for the holiday (Easter) weekend and the mercury climbed to the mid-80's to make Good Friday the warmest on record.Grass started turning green in hours and trees, shrubs, etc., burst into life.Lilac leaves are formed and an Ormstown lady phoned Monday noon to say she had picked May flowers.Bell Bottoms - Just about every wearing apparel fad of the '20\u2019s and thirties has made a reappearance in .but who'd have thought those bell- bottom trousers would be a hit!

hopefully toward a more peaceful balance.\u201d In the Stanstead Journal, Peter Scowen notes the irony inClaude Ryan's suggestion that more small municipalities should merge, given that apossible merger among the Three Villages \u2014 Stanstead, Rock Island and Beebe \u2014 has been bandied about locally for years.\u201cHe [Ryan] has already dumped huge additional costs on the backs of municipalities, thanks to his reforms, He has shown that he isn'taverse toshoving things down taxpayers\u2019 throats.So what's to stop him from waltzing into the Three Villages and organizing a merger that doesn't suit the villages at all?What if he merges Stanstead, Rock Island and Ogden, and puts Beebe in with Stanstead Township?What if he decides the Three Villages would look good as a satellite of Coaticook or Magog?What ifhe merges the Three Villages and then announces that the name of the new municipality is Ryanville?Don't put anything past the government, if you know what's good foryou.There will be nowhere to turn for help when that semitrailer pulls into town carrying that big green government sign that says \u201cBicnvenue a Ryanville.\u201d Inthe Sherbrooke Record, Stephen Heckbert threw out thealways-contentious view that Canadians now longer need a monarchy: \u201cWe have more in common with the United States than we do with Great Britain.In an era of government belt-tightening, one of the first things we should be thinking about trimming is the expense of maintaining a governor-general in Ottawa and 10lieutenant-governors across the country.\u201d Endingonadown-to-earth note, The Record\u2019s Sharon McCully bemoaned a new law permitting governments at all levels to opt out of any responsibility for damage to _ vehicles caused by potholes.\u201cIt seems the government views this rite of spring to which we've become painfully accustomed as an act of God.Well, God didn\u2019t create paved roads.If He had, He would have used arecipe that wouldn't wash away like a sand-castle in a rainstorm.*\u201cIt\u2019sabsurd, nottomention atrociously galling, for a government to simply abdicate its responsibility for damages caused by poor road conditions.\u201d Highway deaths down in For the first time in 30 years, Quebec's highway death toll dropped below 1,000 in 1992.The total last year was 966, a drop of 4.5 per cent from the previous year's figure of 1,012.Transport Minister Sam Elkas said that one has to go back to 1961 when 889 people died ontheprovince\u2019s roads to find alower number of fatalitics than in 1992.This is all the more amazing, the Minister said, when one considers that in the past 30 years the number of cars on the road, and thé number of people holding driver\u2019 li- \u201892 censes, has tripled.The 1992reportalsoshows thatthe overall total of deaths and injuries dropped by 0.7 per cent.A breakdown of this figures hows serious injuries rose by two per cent, while minor injuries were down one per cent.The actual 1992 figures were: 7,160people seriously injured; and 43,417 with minor injuries.Elkas stressed, however, that much remains tobe done to improve highway safety, most notable in the area of drundriving, which remains the primary cause of of some 400 road fatalities annually.and Cards of Thanks, In Memoriams, Marriage Notices, Engagements, Announcements.BEAUDRY -

In a few weeks it will be more profitable.\u201cMunicipal Affairs Minister Claude Ryan told the Union of Quebec Municipalities on April 1 he would soon unveil the details of an aggressive new plan to encourage amalgamation.The program will include more financial aid and improved technical assistance \u2014 like feasibility research, for example.Ryan said about 375 communities where villages are accompanied by parishes could easily merge to become 187 municipalities.But the perks will apply to urban areas as well.Quebec currently has 1,477 municipalities.SPRING TUNE-UPS & GENERAL REPAIRS @TO ALL TYPES OFQ MOTORCYCLES - 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE - REAL FAST SERVICE - ALL WORK GUARANTEED + AND REASONABLE PRICES J.T.SPORT 2468 RTE.138, ORMSTOWN, P.QUE.NEAR ALLAN'S CORNER (5 1 4) 829- 2597 March 28 through April 2 was \u201cI Love To Read Week\u201d at Huntingdon Academy.A committee of Phyllis Taylor, Nathalie Brault, Lynda Viau and Wanda Vine organized many special activities for the students, emphasizing the joy and importance of reading books.On Saturday and Sunday a Book Fair promoted French language literature.The sale was open to the public, including those attending the Rotary Brunch in the school cafeteria.;
