Federation and a member of the party's national executive, yesterday announced he is quitting the party and becoming a Liberal.John Aimers Lazure visit off Hon.Denis Lazure, laid up in hospital with a broken leg and phiebitis, will not be visiting the Westmount riding today as planned.The tour by Quebec's minister of social affairs was to have been part of the cabinet\u2019s \u201cblitz\u2019\u2019 of non-Parti Québécois ridings throughout Quebec.Dr.Lazure hopes to have recovered by Feb.7 and to make the trip to Westmount then.If not, a government spokesman suggested, another cabinet minister might take his place.After serving the party at both local and national levels, Mr.Aimers said he has \u2018\u2018con- .cluded that a party intent on excluding individuals from its ranks, prone to destroying itself from within and lacking in credibility due to continual feuding and disorganization, cannot form a government that would be in the best interests of Canadians.\u201d The switch is the most prominent one locally of a number of party defections which started with Alberta MP Jack Horner's decision to join the government.Mr.Aimers said that it was the party's treatment of another Alberta MP, Stan Schumacher, that was the primary reason for his decision.Mr.Schumacher challenged party leader Joe Clark for the right to be the PC candidate in the re-distributed riding of Bow River in southern Alberta.Leader Clark was forced to bow out and take an adjoining constituency but Mr.Schumacher was then himself - unable to win the Bow River nomination at a recent convention.\u2018Exclusionary vendetta\u2019 Mr.Aimers charges that Mr.Schumacher\u2019s losing the nomination was an \u2018\u2018exclusionary vendetta\u2019 against \u2018\u2018one of the few

into a lovely, carpeted reception room with offices hidden off at one side.In the middle of the reception room is a beautiful wooden spiral staircase leading up to penthouse offices.A secretary indicates the nicely-lit cloak room; the visitor hangs up his coat and examines the colorful hanging tapestries while waiting for his appointment.In minutes the executive arrives, exchanges greetings and leads the visitor down a long hallway with office doors on one side.Only after the newcomer passes by a panelled partition does he view a huge, gaping empty space with no furniture, no wall hangings, not even a rug.Only then does the fate of Westmount Life Certainly it was not evident at the entrance Insurance Company become apparent.Seeking Liberal nod: to the imposing building at the northwest corner of Sherbrooke street and Elm avenue, where the name of the company is emblazoned over the door.It was not evident at the elevator, where the various company departments were listed under the name, advertised only as \u2018sixth floor\" with no suite number.And, of course, the first impression on arrival is that everything is in order at a company which bears a name considered synonymous with prosperity and security.The fact is, Westmount Life began the process of moving out of Westmount and out of Quebec before the Parti Québécois was elected, and though the name is still on the door, only a few staff and departments have stayed behind.And, by the end of the year, \u2018\u201cWestmount\u2019\u2019 might be gone from the company\u2019s name as well.Continued on page 17 / Lawyer, lecturer Mark Feifer continues nomination drive 20¢ Mark Feifer, 619 Sydenham avenue, has been a candidate for the Liberal nomination in the federal riding of Westmount since rumors of the resignation of 15-year MP Hon.C.M.Drury began last spring.The on-again, off-again rumors of a byelec- tion, however, caused just as many stops and starts for his campaign organization.Now, with the announcement that the Westmount Liberal Association is holding its nominating convention on April 5, Mr.Feifer\u2019s campaign wheels are back on the track and turning smoothly, since the organization has already been established.Mr.Feifer has chosen national unity and the economy as the issues which will stand out in this year's political discussions.As a lecturer in constitutional law at Concordia University and a corporate and commercial lawyer with the firm of Bernstein, Feifer, Beaupré & Savoyan, he feels well-versed in both fields.His ideas, however, are a bit more pronounced than one might expect from a person well- ensconced in the more conservative Montreal business community.\u201c| have been answering questions put to me but not seeking to create opportunities,\u201d he

big enough to take in Mr.Horner, indicating to him that \u2018\u2018the Liberal Party is responding toa much broader constituency than the Conservatives.\" The second of four factors Mr.Aimers said influenced his decision was that the Liberals are able to keep internal disputes behind closed doors, thus appearing as \u2018a pretty unified bunch of people,\u201d in public.He joined the PCs, he said, during the public battles between Dalton Camp and John Diefenbaker and such arguing has continued in various forms ever since.The Liberals have shown themselves able to attract new workers far more easily than the Conservatives, he went on, and are thus able to renew themselves regularly.Finally, he declared, the strong leadership shown by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is \u2018what's best to hold the country together right now.\" A teacher at Selwyn House School, founder and Dominion chairman of the Monarchist Local PCs hear nothing fromr Meïghen -\u2014- Westmount Progressive Conservatives have heard nothing from their two-time candidate, Michael Meighen, either before or after reports appeared this week that he was very doubtful about running in Westmount\u2014or anywhere, for that matter\u2014in the coming election.Meanwhile, the Tories\u2019 nominating committee has still to bring forward names of willing candidates who might * want to run against the Liberal nominee in Westmount.At a meeting Tuesday evening the executive of the local party was told the committee would need another two weeks to talk to potential candidates.Westmount is joining with League of Canada, and active in many community affairs, Mr.Aimers has worked for the PCs for some 10 years but he is not a complete stranger to the Liberal tag.In the 1973 provincial election he challenged incumbent MNA Kevin Drummond, styling himself an \u2018\u2018independent Liberal.\u201d He finished third.Mr.Aimers said yesterday he has no intention of seeking office immediately under the Liberal banner, though, he noted, \u201cI'd love to be in Parliament some day.\u201d He intends, however, to stay on the sidelines during the present pre-nomination Liberal campaign locally, though he said that once the nominee is chosen he might work for the candidate during the election campaign.Mr.Aimers suggested that several local Conservatives already had switched allegiance and were ready to work for the Liberals and even for individual candidates at this early stage in the campaign.other West-End Tory associations in a series of gatherings to try to improve its membership and visibility in the community, however.Last evening Peter Blaikie, 315 Roslyn avenue, and candidate for the Tories in Lachine, addressed a gathering at St.Edmond's School on the lakeshore.Next

being co-sponsored by the Westmount YMCA and the Westmount Municipal Association and will consist of workshops and discussions during a day-long session at Victoria Hall.Organizers hope he day will give citizens of estmount an opportunity to articipate actively in deter- ining the city\u2019s priorities and tions for the future.The day is being planned with the idea that the resources and facilities, along with the necessary community structures, that already exist in Westmount suggest that with the concerted involvement of the local population the community should be able to develop meaningful and worthwhile goals to further enhance relationships among persons and groups in the community.Eleven major topic areas have been identified and workshops on these subjects will be held, first to identify the major issues and, in the afternoon, to decide what action should be taken on those issues.The luncheon break will be addressed by Halifax author Jim Lotz who has written several books on community living.933-9184 Josephine Lantier 932-0567 487-4791 Ruth Mary Lewis 932-6257 481-8687 Claudette Limoges 481-5907 935-8625 : Joan McCal 935-8154 932-6329 Brian McGu 487-6278 481-5403

mayor and the MUC ELECTION of Mayor Donald C.MacCallum by his fellow first magistrates to the executive committee of the Montreal Urban Community occasions local pride.It may even be recognition of the importance of Westmount.For those of his fellow citizens who, with good reason, regard the MUC as the chief cause of meteoric increases in Sir: We were disturbed to read your inaccurate and slanted personal attack on Mr.Thomas Galt in the editorial entitled \u2018Citizenship which appeared in your issue of Jan.19.You say that you \u2018\u2018know he is a Westmounter\u2014even though he is studiously unlisted in both the phone and street directories.\u2019\u2019 In fact, Mr.Galt is not a Westmounter.He resides in the City of Montreal.His home telephone holding office in one's home municipality, where citizens elected their man for local interests and concerns.We don\u2019t suggest that Mayor MacCallum should be expected to make it his purpose simply to represent West- mount and the other centre sector municipalities on the MUC executive.However, he should constantly remind past, when we might be using this space to urge people instead to show a municipal property taxes, their congratulations to His Worship will be mixed with some concern.Town of Mount Royal Mayor Reginald Dawson, whom Mr.MacCallum replaces, represented the central island suburbs on the executive from the MUC's inception.From all outward appearances the result was at best indifferent.One must suspect that there is a dichotomy for the incumbents of these posts.To do the MUC job conscientiously one surely must have a certain dedication to the principle and welfare of the metropolitan government.Yet holding the seat depends on himself that a good many of his fellow Westmounters regard the MUC as a poorly conceived fifth wheel in our over-governed society and a sink-hole of uncontrolled expense resting on the ratepayers\u2019 shoulders.Many regard, with cause, centralization of services with great suspicion, specially when from experience we know that many such services\u2014police and valuation being prime examples\u2014 were and still could be administered better locally.We congratulate our mayor for taking on this new responsibility \u2014in no way as a step up, but as a challenge to slow, if not reverse, the MUC's supplanting of our local government.Let's cool it A problem with politics is that, at certain times, it becomes an all-pervading preoecupation for too many of us.It is true of other areas of human interest, too.Last Sunday we listened to a sermon which argued that life was akin to a wheel at the hub of which should be one's faith and all other interests should radiate from it somewhere on the outer rim.That view we think is unbalanced unless one has a fulltime religious vocation, and even then can introduce distortions in what should be well- roundedness in an individual.Faith is important; should pervade, perhaps.but not exclude all else.Some persons find obsessions in other things, such as sports, the stock market, gambling, reading, travel, sex, television, their own and others\u2019 ailments, hobbies of all kinds, food.their work \u2014 the list is endless.Special interests, of course, are inevitable.We are rather removed from that ideal, the true Renaissance man who could find joy in and make an art of being aware of everything.Human experience and accumulated knowledge is so vast, widening immensely new challenges for curiosity.that the race becomes one of specialists\u2014some in narrow and esoteric fields in which they can mike a name for themselves and satisfy the urge to achieve.We are thinking here more of those subjects so general that most anyone can pose as an \u2018\u2018expert\u2019\u2019\u2014more specially at the cocktail party or the tavern table, wherever two or more may gather.Currently, politics are the big thing of which most of us are guilty of excess.Since Nov.15, 1976, particularly in this part of the world, little else is heard and we are as guilty as anyone of constantly putting in our two cents\u2019 worth.WE journalists must be blamed for a good deal of the current political mania.We tend to see those who practice or attempt statecraft as dominant figures in society and thus suppose that their actions and their opinions must be the dominant interest of our readers and listeners.From Ottawa, Quebec City, the MUC, even our own city hall and out on the hustings we try to report all that we consider significant.At times, such as now with a great national wonderment over the future of Canada and Quebec, the outpouring is so enormous that satiation is neared.Inere : avi been other fines not ong modicum of political concern.Now we urge moderation.The trouble is, particularly with the present Quebec regime, the political sphere has been expanded into other concerns of daily life to an unprecedented degree: economics, as it affects our very livelihoods; education, upon which so much else rests; language, with unseen consequences for us and our children, and culture\u2014embracing most anything else not heretofore invaded by government.* * * IN face of this, it seems important to find countervailing interests and concerns, if only to preserve sanity.It should be a conscious effort.Forget, if you can for a while at least, the Parti Québécois and the Liberals, both federal and provincial; forget our so- called leaders of the legislatures and the cabinet rooms.Are they really that totally important?More outings on the white ski slopes or cross-country fields and woods; a sojourn on a tropical beach; cultivation of more theatre or music; immersion, with moderation of course, in some long-shelved or new hobby; eating out or experimentation for fun in your own kitchen; some adult education pursuit; maybe paying a little more attention to one's job, or going to church more often\u2014any or all of these and others can be escape routes to a better rounded existence which might put Mr.Lévesque and the like into perspective.Uncertainty and fears for the future are rather futile.Life goes on all around us.Maybe the politicians of all ilks are due for a dose of constituent indifference, if only to prick their self- importance and tame their wilder plans for us.Certainly, we all deserve a respite from political tension which, in a democracy, is ours to leave or take.Maybe in a moratorium on debate lies the cure for national ills, by giving them a rest.We'll all be better democrats if we don't take the process.ui.Lhe uv ve too nas Sun Life's Thomas Galt

out that it would take huge amounts merely to administer such a scheme.Reckoning that a national health scheme would cost $500 million, it warns that the administrative costs would add another $50 to $75 million.This is assuming that the total cost of medical and hospital services under health insurance would be no greater than it is today.But in fact it would be substantially greater.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago January 25, 1963 \u201cThe board of directors of Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School have made a formal application to the City of Westmount to construct a two storey school on

facilities as it had increased its enrollment in the past few years by about 60 percent.The private school for girls, now located in the City of Montreal near the corner of Cedar and Cote, des Neiges,

/ As Canada moves into 1978, there is growing expectation that the worst of the recent economic slack is over and salid economic growth will resume in the new year.This view is bolstered by increasing signs that the economic recovery will begin during the first quarter of 1978.The majority of Canadian economists believe that the new year will bring better results from the domestic economy than the one just ending.This optimism does not overlook the fact that rates of unemployment and inflation are far from satisfactory.Confident talk, naturally, is not enough.What is needed is constructive action to stimulate the economy without contributing to inflation, and measures to aid those who have been hurt by the economic slowdown.As a consequénce of this slowdown, the federal government introduced specific measures, in a series of policy decisions this past fall and early winter, providing tax incentives to business and consumers.The government also decided not to wait for the expected recovery to begin, but to attack the unemployment problem directly by investing heavily in job-creation programs.Pump-priming by Ottawa, however, can only be a temporary an mplete solution to the problem.The federal government is not the only player in the economy and it would be unrealistic to expect that it alone can turn the picture around.Prime Minister Trudeau has illustrated this fact by seeking a cooperative approach with provincial leaders to solving our economic difficulties.Co-operation with provinces In his recent travels to all provincial capitals and talks with provincial premiers, the prime minister has laid the groundwork for a first ministers\u2019 conference in February, which will pursue a co-operative strategy for restoring normal economic health to Canada by 1981.Inflation and unemployment are immediate concerns for all and have been the major focus of government attention during the past couple of years.In addition, what is needed is an attack on the so-called structural problems\u2014declining competitiveness and changing patterns in manufacturing and world trade.This is the task which currently confronts the government leaders., Simultaneously, while the necessary study and adjustments are made, the federal government will concentrate on alleviating some of the difficulties facing those whose lives have been disrupted.While this cannot comfort those without jobs, it is recognized generally that the burden of unemployment is not so heavy today as it was in the past, due largely to genérous social assistance measures, such as FLOWERS Westmount Horist Ltd.Please make note of our new address 360 Victoria Ave.(West side, between Somerville and Sherbrooke) Lu end our new phone 488-9121 family allowance and unemployment insurance.These provide a basic level of family income.As well as negotiating more efficient working arrangements between the two levels of government, Mr.Trudeau and the premiers will discuss ways of encouraging the private sector to do its part.Government actions to promote recovery are of little use or value unless businessmen take full advantage of the various tax cuts and economic incentives to launch new investments.The business community does, however, seem to be heeding the advice and help provided in the recent budget and the fall economic message.They are less pessimistic about the future trend of inflation and are thinking in terms of getting ready to meet a resurgence of demand when the economy picks up.They have also been encouraged by news that the prices and incomes controls will start to be lifted in April of this year.This, coupled with a decline in the value of the Canadian dollar, should stimulate production and employment within the export industries.Difficulties world-wide It must be emphasized, however, that the weakness in Canada\u2019s economy cannot be viewed in isolation\u2014it is part of a global phenomenon.The majority of countries of the industrialized world are suffering from the twin dilemmas of mounting unemployment and stubborn inflation.Even West Germany, whose economy is always cited as a paragon of economic strength, will not achieve greater growth than our own during 1978, economists have predicted.It is not only supporters of government policies who hold an optimistic view of prospects for 1978 \u2014even certain economic experts who have not been particularly charitable towards recent government decisions emphasize this fact.Richard Lipsey, a prominent economics professor at Queen's University, stated: \u2018This idea that Canada is suffering from some absolutely unique thing, that is to be laid at the blame or the credit of our political leaders, is just nonsense.There was a world recession as serious as the 1930s.Canada's experience was comparatively mild in respect to that.Sure, we've got 8 percent unemployment; but we've also got a rising level of employment.I would like us to do a lot better.But, by and large, if you look at the OECD countries, we are suffering, but not suffering much differently from anybody else.So don't look for some particular evil on our people's part.We've-got to see it in an international context.\u201d As well, the former federal deputy finance minister, Simon Reisman, who has not hesitated in the past to differ with the government's economic policies, also was optimistic: \u2018We're well on the road, I think, to getting Canada back on the rails.Let's have a little patience.Let the thing work itself out.Don't press any panic buttons.Don\u2019t push too much more into the system because you'll unleash that inflation that we're now on the verge of getting under control.\u201d Furthermore, current wage demands have become much more reasonable and the federal government is meeting with success in restraining spending.As Mr.Reisman noted: \u201cThey're watching the program.they're watching the size of the public service.The attitudes today, the pessimism, the lack of confidence in the business community \u2014these are lagging indicators.\u201d In next week's column, I will go on to discuss economic improvements during 1977, the devaluation of the dollar, and the growing realism among Canadian businessmen and wage earners.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 26.1978 - 5 re » .» 3 ee > TH =

Limited W.Hartley Barber - President PLUMBING & HEATING CONTRACTORS DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE Service & Quotations on request 368 VICTORIA AVE.487-1760 6 - The Westmount \u2018 Examiner, - Thursday, Januery 26, 1978 How English Quebec feels about the PQ An editorial in the Huntingdon Gleaner There are growing signs that the Parti Québécois government is gingerly putting out feelers towards Quebec's English-speaking community.Thus far these tentative approaches in public have been purposely limited to initiatives by backbenchers in the National Assembly.This is actually a wise, if transparent, move, since the backbenchers in no way put the prestige of the government on the line and their approaches can always be disavowed as personal initiatives should the extended hand be severely bitten.Two relatively high-profile MNAs, Gérard Godin and Pierre de Bellefeuille, have recently made conciliatory moves towards the English community.In an article written for The Montreal Star, Godin stated, in effect, that he has come around recently to the belief that there are some among the ranks of those who oppose the PQ who are not necessarily immoral, corrupt or wicked and that they may actually be acting out of sincere conviction and patriotism.This is quite a concession for a doctrinaire Péquiste to make in public, even for so amiable a chap as Gérard Godin.It represents a substantial departure from PQ dogma, which has long held that anyone who opposes the PQ is evil, corrupt, self-serving and an enemy of the people.De Bellefeuille was assigned (before Christmas) the task of representing the party on the program \u2018\u2018Provincial Affairs\u2019 and actually made quite an amazing speech.He said, in effect, that after a year of the PQ in office, many .English-speaking people have discovered the party is not so bad after all.He deplored the total lack of English representation in the party and the government.The best way to correct this state of affairs, he told his audience, would be for English-speaking people to get involved with the party.\u201cWhy not even join the party?\u2019 he urged.The third significant initiative came from David Payne, Dr.Camille Laurin\u2019s \u201cspecial assistant\u201d and the York- shireman who is supposed to be \u2018\u2018interpreting'' the English community to the PQ.Payne has been contacting English-language weekly newspapers, to say the party would like to open up lines of communication with the English community by sending written material tothe weeklies.There are two schools of thought about the English community within the PQ.One has totally and finally written the English community off as implacably hostile to the party and the government, with no hope of salvation.The other school of thought tends to agree about the hostility, but takes a more realistic view by recognizing the problem is here in the form of a coherent group of more than one million people who can\u2019t simply be made to disappear, or be rendered invisible, as the hardliners like Dr.Laurin would like.There is also a recognition that, like it or not, these one million English Quebecers have considerable economic clout, even if their political clout is not what it once was.\u2018\u201cWe may not like them, but we have to find some way of communicating with them,\u201d this school of thought reasons.It appears the hard-liners have agreed to go along with a few halting approaches on a trial basis, apparently in the belief that miracles, while rare, do occasionally happen.Since it is true the PQ is totally without meaningful input from the English- speaking community about how the community feels about the party and the government, perhaps we could perform a worthwhile service by letting the government in on how the huge majority of English-speaking people in Quebec really feel by simply telling it like it is.The English-speaking people despise the PQ\u2019s socialism almost, but not quite, as much as they despise its separatism.They can put up with the socialism, but as long as the PQ is devoted to the break-up of Canada they will indeed remain implacably hostile.They recognize their minority position in Quebec, but they don't feel like a minority and they don't intend to act like one, any more than French Quebecers intend to act like a minority in Canada.Their conduct toward the PQ will remain what can best be described as *\u2018Correct,\u201d\u2019 simply because they recognize there is no point nor purpose in being belligerent.Overtures of the kind made by Messrs.Godin and de Bellefeuille will neither be applauded nor repulsed in public.They will simply be ignored.The English-speaking people are not so much interested in what PQ politicians say, as they are in what they do.They can 't overlook the fact the self- our M.N.A.George Springate says.Busiest January yet In my eight years of political experience, January always has tended to be a quiet month.But 1978 has been different.Things are hopping.There is the Quebec Liberal leadership race.Who are the candidates?Is so-and- so running?\u2019 Whom are you going to support?As the month winds down, interest increases.The saga of the Sun Life Assurance Company has kept all members busy.The psychological effect of the announced move was profound.Somehow all those departmental moves by giants such as Bell Canada, the Bank of Montreal, the Royal Bank and others seemed small.Also, many forgot that 231 federally-incorporated companies already had moved their head offices from Quebec since the Parti Québécois election victory.And.opposition members were out attempting to repair the damage caused by Finance Minister Parizeau's childish same de Bellefeuille can urge them to join the party, but yet can publicly say he sees no reason to put the question on the referendum ballot in English as well as in French.As long as the PQ is a separatist party, English-Quebecers will remain \u2018correct\u2019 but hostile.They will do everything within their power, each in their own way, to defeat the PQ in the referendum and the subsequent election.In the meantime, they will continue to drag their feet in an effort to avoid doing anything that will enhance the power, prestige and above all, the viability, of the PQ government.They will strive to protect themselves from the PQ\u2019s socialism, which, by its very nature, is inherently hostile to their social, cultural, political and economic interests simply because the PQ's.socialism is so deeply rooted in nationalism.That, we believe, is a fair, realistic and honest, if brutal, assessment of how the huge majority of English-speaking Quebecers feel as the PQ moves on into its second year of power.reply to the proposed move.All Parizeau did was frighten potential investors even more.Mr.Parizeau simply made things more difficult.The proposed referendum is keeping us busy.The referendum will be held in 1979.This is the earliest possible date, claims Premier Lévesque.Much work has to be done before then: The Liberal team headed by Jean Lesage is at work preparing for the ballot.Every Liberal county association has named a person to work with the Lesage team.This group will organize events and streamline federalist action up to and including referendum day.I am working with the team as the Westmount representative.Our plan of attack or game plan will be excellent.The referendum will be hard work.But, we will succeed.Speech-making is also on the increase this January.I have addressed more groups this month than I ever did in previous years at this time.Concern, interest, desire to know what is really happening and a tremendous zeal to keep Canada together are the reasons for this.] am delighted to oblige.WESTMOUNT WANDERINGS Feedback concerning my appearance on \u201cProvincial Affairs\u201d Saturday last was truly encouraging.Thanks to all of you who

> C Senior Wanderers secure in second, challenge Bruins By NICK KASIRER The Wanderers of the West- mount senior hockey league have made a strong showing in their last several outings, and are now securely in second place and starting a challenge on the division-leading Bruins.The Wanderers met the Bruins last week and came up winners 4-3.Alan Rottenberg had two goals to bring his week's total to four.Craig Shannon and George Tooley each had two points in the winning effort, while Alan Cobb scored two goals and added an assist for the Bruins.The Wanderers out-skated the Sabres in their other game last week, with the final score going 5-2 in their favor.Mike Vivian counted what turned out to be the winner.In other senior matches, the Stars upset the recently unlucky Bruins 2-1.Marcel Le- febvre and James Hotton scored the Stars\u2019 goals, while Paul Langan had the lone Bruins\u2019 mark.The Stars and Sabres renewed their old rivalry in another game last week and despite the two teams\u2019 disappointing records, the play was close and entertaining.There was much action around both nets but goalers Tim Martz and Graham Sher- riffs, of the Stars and Sabres respectively, allowed only one shot each get past them.Douglas Hopper scored for the Stars, with George Underwood answering for the Sabres.Giant January Clothing Sale The four teams in the senior section each have

digits or have forgotten the local emergency numbers.In at least two local cases during the past year individuals dialing the operator have been told to call the seven- digit Westmount fire number, 935-2456.A check with Bell Canada officials reveals that operators have been trained to discern\u2014 from a person's voice or background noises\u2014whether or not a serious emergency is taking place, and that in most cases she (or he) will try to discourage operator dialing of routine phone calls.However, if the operator can tell that an emergency is occurring, she will put the caller through to the appropriate number, then stay on the line to ensure that the information has been communicated with the Encourage local police Mrs.Germain suggests Police patrol in Westmount should receive the active encouragement, help and interest of local citizens, Mrs.Edythe Germain suggested to city council recently, to \u2018\u2018make Westmount a little more interesting, short of having shootouts here.\u201d Mrs.Germain, discussing her thoughts following a meeting with top police officials she attended along with other members of the Committee for Pedestrian Safety in West- mount and the Westmount Municipal Association last month (The Examiner, Dec.8), noted with some dismay that police constables, through their It is estimated that at the end of 1976 more than 12 million

were told, because this city is \u201cboring and uninteresting.\u201d The representatives began wondering, after the meeting, how citizens could make police enjoy being stationed here, and decided the best way would be \u2018\u2018to show that we appreciate the service they give us.\u201d While probably few people can show appreciation at receiving speeding tickets, she admitted, Westmounters might realize\u2014and point out to the constables\u2014that the ticket was being given in order to make Westmount safer for all citizens.Other methods might be to choose an \u2018\u2018officer of the month,\u201d or perhaps offer more recognition of their services by city council.police or firemen.In other cases she will pass on the information herself.The system is made difficult in the Montreal area because of differing numbers for various police and fire stations in the various municipalities on the island.In Laval, however, the entire system is integrated and one three-digit num- ber\u2014911\u2014will put the caller in touch with police, fire or ambulance services.A Bell Canada spokesman suggests that Westmount parents tell their very small children, and remember themselves, that if they feel they must dial \u2018\u2018O'*, they should make it clear \u2018\u2018in no uncertain terms\u2019 that an emergency exists, and that it exists in Westmount.Street names do not suffice, since many are repeated in other municipalities, such as Argyle or Kensington avenues.\u201cDealing with people over the phone is exactly what the operators are trained for,\u201d the spokesman added, pointing to their ability to discern emergencies.She said, though, that \u201chuman failings\u2019 are possible and may result in a lack of response to some real crises.Local fire officials say they get two or three operator- assisted emergency calls each year.Most important is the ubiquitous recommendation that emergency numbers be posted beside every telephone in the house.For Westmount, the police number is 934-0711.Dialing 935-2456 will get the caller in immediate touch with the fire department and city ambulance.fé) CAISSE POPULAIRE \u201d NOTRE-DAME DE GRACE

\u201cbut we don\u2019t get the phones for free.\u201d Provincial or federal funds might be available in the future but the group would like to maintain its independence.Ironically, Tel-Aide receives no funds from Centraide yet refers callers to agencies under their support.\u201cIf we can get by without government funds,\u2019 says Alex, \u2018obviously we'd prefer it, because when the camel gets its nose inthetent .\" What Tel-Aide needs now more than money, however, is people.They are working with the minimum number of volunteers that they need.Some work only twice a month and others more often.The day shift is the hardest to fill because people are working or looking after children.Alex says they \u2018like to get people who are set in their lifestyle\u2019 and can therefore be depended on.Westmounters wanting to volunteer can call the Tel-Aide office at 935-1105.Sarah, who looks after a home, does other volunteer work and takes courses, says, \u201cIf you enjoy doing something, I think you make time to do it.You can arrange it, there's no excuse.\u201d The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 26.1978 -

he understands French Quebec's Liberal nomination The fight for the Liberal nomination for the federal riding of Westmount could become a four-man affair with two more candidates expected to join Mark Feifer and Dr.Dale Thomson in the race.Montrealer Don Johnston has not yet officially announced he will seek the candidacy but he has been assembling an organization and has been working behind the scenes.His announcement is expected in the near future.Another person anxious to join the race is Richard Rhone, an American who moved here from Boston six years ago.He is awaiting finalization of Canadian citizenship before he is able to enter the contest officially.Mr.Rhone says he has no previous political experience and is waiting to enunciate a platform after he has talked to citizens throughout the constituency.A worker with a community action agency in Boston, Mr.Rhone entered the insurance field when he came here.He now works with Great West Life Insurance in Westmount Square.He was a director of the Montreal Board of Trade in 1973.The Liberal nomination convention here will be held April 5.concern that the French- Canadian culture be allowed to grow and flourish, but he does not share the various provincial governments\u2019 attitude that the French culture is threatened in any way.\u201cHere in Quebec I don\u2019t think we are making any real progress,\u201d he added.Because of the lack of federal action in most of the rest of Canada, and because of the tremendous difficulties the language law is due to inflict upon Quebec, French Canada is getting \u2018\u2018the worst of both worlds,\u201d he suggested.Pessimistic on economy Mr.Feifer painted a bleak picture of the Canadian economy and expressed some doubt about the \u2018expert\u2019 opinion of economic forecasters that the country is moving into a recovery period.\u2018 The economy might even get worse, he countered.because of the political situation in Quebec, not to mention costs in the public sector.the continuing problem of strikes and labor unrest, the cost of energy and the lack of confidence from the business community.The country needs \u2018\u2018decisive and very real leadership\u201d to reverse its economic woes and restore business confidence, he declared; that leadership must use a \u2018\u2018common sense .approach\u2019 rather than look for a \u2018\u2018magic solution to all the ills.\u201d On a political level, Mr.Feifer agrees with most party members that Westmount riding is a very important one in the national picture, that its MP will have to make \u2018\u2018very strong.very firm recommendations on behalf of the anglophone community in Quebec.\u2019 He softened this remark somewhat, perhaps remembering the largely- francophone St.Henri sector of the riding, by pointing out that the elected representative would still be mandated to seek accommodation between the peoples of the riding and the province.Married, with three young daughters, Mr.Feifer is a graduate of Outremont High School and McGill University, from which he received a BA in 1964 and a BCL in 1967.A onetime interim editor of the McGill Daily, he has kept up his contacts with the university since leaving.serving as director of the Young Alumni Association for three years and then as director of the McGill Society of Montreal for another three.He has been a director of the Westmount Liberal Association since 1974, and is a member of the Canadian Club and the Westmount Municipal Association, besides the Canadian and Quebec Bar Associations. Goo pe The term tranquilizer applies to numerous drugs which differ in chemistry but which share the capacity to reduce or suppress emotional reactions.Tranquilizers differ from alcohol, barbiturates and other sedatives because they are more selective, affecting the general state of alertness far less than the others.Popular Canadian forms of tranquilizers are Valium, Librium and Miltown, often called \u201cdowners\u2019 or depressants.We can put tranquilizers into two categories: minor tranquilizers and major tranquilizers.Major tranquilizers are majnly reserved for the treatment of serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia.Minor tranquilizers are generally prescribed for restlessness, nervous tension and anxiety, though there are other valid uses.Normal doses generally offer relaxation, a feeling of well-being, a reduction of nervousness and, at times, a certain loss of inhibition.Heavy doses of some tranquilizers can produce the opposite effect: great excitement accompanied at times by hallucinations.Others, taken in very large quantities, can slow down breathing and provoke unconsciousness, comas and even death.Use of tranquilizers over long periods forces dependence on the drugs.The user must increase the dosage to produce the desired results.With very few exceptions, all these drugs lead to a psychological and physical dependence.If all of the tranquilizers now being used were taken for valid reasons, we could conclude that our society is very sick indeed.If not, we can be sure that it soon will be.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January

Thomson is awaiting an answer from social affairs minister Dr.Denis Lazure on his suggestion that Weredale House be converted to a social, recreation and treatment centre connected with the Reddy Memorial Hospital.One idea that Dr.Thomson has discussed with the hospital is that the building become a \u2018centre d'accueil,\u2018 serving convalescent and day patients.Dr.Thomson told WMA advisory council recently that he had first tried to deal with civil servants in the social affairs department but they had claimed they couldn\u2019t even receive a letter on the matter and that all inquiries should go to the minister.Dr.Thomson called this a \u2018\u2018mysterious answer\u201d and is now waiting to hear from Dr.Lazure.The possible conversion of Weredale House to a medical or senior citizens\u2019 facility has been Dr.Thomson's concern since the boys\u2019 home was put on the market recently.Block parents on telephone for members Potential \u2018\u2018block parents\u201d in Westmount who asked for application slips to become part of the program but then never followed up on the matter will be receiving phone calls to spur them into action.Mrs.Renée Lagassé, one of the block parent organizers, says that some 200 applications must be sitting on desks in various homes around West- mount and the fledgling network of block parents could certainly be strengthened.Specially needed are block parents on Cote St.Antoine road, in the Wood avenue and Stayner-Prospect street areas, and on de Maisonneuve boulevard and Sherbrooke street.In fact, however, block parents are needed in all areas of Westmount.Applicants should be reminded that the program entails simply placing a sign in the front window whenever someone is available at home to answer the door.If a child gets into trouble on the street, he or she can be assured of help at that home.Those interested should call Mrs.Lagassé at 487-6991 or Mrs.Linda Israel at 487-2698.

ASK MR.FOSTER TRAVEL Since 1888 THINK METRIC, THINK SLOWER: Westmount has officially joined the national metrification movement, and citizens must now revise their speedometers (and their judgments) to adapt to the new speeds in the city.Workmen yesterday were caught putting up this sign near West- mount High School, warning drivers that they must now proceed even more slowly in school zones than the 20 mph they have become accustomed to.If you can read fractions on your still-mph speedometer, it is now mandatory that you travel no faster than 18.642 miles per hour in school and park zones; better yet, just go a little bit slower and watch out for children.New maximum in former 30-mph zones is 50 km/h.Three hurt as truck hits taxi A rear-end collision on slippery streets at 12:13 Friday afternoon sent three people to hospital with mild injuries and caused extensive damage to the taxi and truck involved.A 1977 Dodge taxi, driven by G Tremblay, 37, of Montreal, was stopped in westbound

Mr Tremblay suffered possible neck and back injuries, while a 60-year-old passenger in his car, a woman from N.D.G., injured both her legs.A 26-year- old woman from Lachine who was a passenger in

total of eight shoplifters were caught with lifters for grants Westmounters can now apply for federal grants under the Canadian Home Insulation Program (CHIP), local MP Hon.C.M.Drury announced recently on behalf of Urban Affairs Minister André Ouellet.In making the announcement, Mr.Drury said that eligibility for CHIP assistance in Quebec had been made retroactive to Sept.1, 1977, when the national program was introduced.As a result, residents of Westmount who have undertaken home insulation work since that date may also qualify for the federal grant.CHIP is designed to encourage Canadians to save on energy.It provides grants equal to two-thirds of the cost of insulation materials, up to a maximum of $350.Mr.Drury pointed out that more than 7,700 homes built before 1921 in the constituency of Westmount are eligible immediately for CHIP grants.Assistance for these homes alone could reach some $600,000.As eligibility is extended to newer homes over the next seven -years, another 35,000-plus housing units in the area could qualify.Urban Affairs Minister Ouellet has indicated that $1.4 billion has been allocated for CHIP across Canada, of which Quebec is to receive approximately $380 million.A total of 1.9 million homes in Quebec will become eligible under CHIP and, on completion of the program, Quebec householders should save approximately 11.6 million barrels of oil annually.Further information on CHIP is available by calling 341-1511.Committee shake-up suggested Committee work of the West- mount Municipal Association has been lagging recently and President Dr.Dale Thomson wants some of the committees strengthened and reactivated.Nicole Gehring resigned as chairman of the health and welfare committee at the WMA's recent meeting and it was reported that Michael Carroll would probably resign as chairman of the recreation committee.Al Fisher of the housing and zoning committee reports he has heard nothing from chairman Jeanne Wolfe, and Glenda Scott declared the traffic and circulation committee \u2018null and void\u2019 as faras she was concerned.Dr.Thomson said he hoped this committee would become active again.He added that the lack of activity suggested that perhaps a restructuring was needed.A few committee chairmen have not attended any recent advisory council meetings.unpaid-for goods which carried a retail price of
