his education had been geared to that, giving him a sound base in engineering, as well as the brewing process.He was, in fact, a master brewer, with practical knowledge which enabled him to make profitable use within his own breweries of new ideas in the equipment field as well as in the brewing process itself.He established the first laboratory in the company, and insisted on quality in con- Four persons were arrested here for outstanding traffic warrants totalling $155 during the past week, including one each last Thursday and Friday, Monday and Tuesday.The biggest arrest was on Tuesday, when a driver was picked up for holding $46.50 worth of outstanding warrants.NEW APPOINTMENT Mrs.Daniel H.Lewis The appointment of MRS.DANIEL H.LEWIS to the Advisory Board of Frank A.Norman & Co.Ltd.is announced by Frank À.Norman, President.Mrs.Lewis, who has for the past 20 years been associated with the Company and active in real estate sales in Westmount, Town of Mount Royal and the Laurentians.will be taking up residence in Ottawa.However, her new responsibilities will require that she spend considerable time in the Company offices located in the Town of Mount Royal.where she will be available for consultation.struction and equipment.He introduced the practice of giving brewing training to men with university background and he made extensive use of consultants to reinforce the technological abilities of his own staff.The Molson name has always been associated with sports.In 1957, Thomas Molson and his brother, Senator Hartland deM.Molson, purchased control of the Canadian Arena Company and Les Canadiens.The successful and happy relationship continued until 1968 when control was sold.On hospital board In the field of community service, Thomas Molson\u2019s main interest was the Montreal General Hospital.He played a considerable part in the planning and construction of the new hospital on Cedar avenue and was a member of the Board of Management for 33 years until his resignation in 1969.He was elected a governor of the Alexandra Hospital in 1939, served as vice-president from 1947 until 1962 and president from 1962 to 1971.His philanthropic contribution to local and national charitable organizations, hospitals, medical research, universities and individual beneficiaries was extensive.One benefaction well known to the public was the establishment, in conjunction with Senator Molson, of the Canada Council's \u2018Molson Prizes\" awarded annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to the arts, social sciences, humanities or national unity.In lieu of flowers, donations to the Montreal General Hospital Foundation will be gratefully acknowledged.PHOTOCOPY PRINTING DUPLICATING MICROFILM Montreal Copy Centre 2019 Bishop 842-6817 Open Weekdays to Midnight SINCE 1916 OUR MASTER ROOFERS AT YOUR SERVICE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL WESTMOUNT ROOFING LTD.René Guitard, Manager 637-2308 24 HOUR SERVICE Income Tax Return Preparation 844-3919, .:.457-3752, .ALLAN BAKER Sales and General Manager Res.: 688-9501 Off.: 331-8770 [H Econ-oun co, Save your heating dollars FREE FREE Special discounts for multiple dwellings At Econ, service is a fact, not a promise 11635 Letellier, MONTREAL, P.Q.24 hour emergency service yearly cleaning and inspection VETERANS TAXI ASS'N.where were il 1 lll | | | I | | 1 | they going?| The following calls were answered by the Westmount Fire Brigade during the past, week.March 28 10:10 am: 700 Aberdeen, person transported to MGH;

the ratio of debt service cost to total revenue, only 8.22 percent.We're sound, and that's something to rejoice about.Get it, and us, together THE Parti Québécois should \u2018\u2018get its act together.\u201d For the sake of the party and government.For the sake of Quebec.Even for Canada, to which this province in one way or another will remain inextricably related\u2014if only by geography \u2014whatever the political alignment.The ministers of the PQ, including Premier René Lévesque, are prone to public pronouncements both conflicting with one another and with themselves.There appears to be no consistency in what they express concerning non- Quebec institutions and governments and, even worse, concerning non- Francophone people both beyond and within the province.Examples abound.As recent as Monday, Mr.Lévesque told The Canadian Club of Montreal that Quebec's economic performance was as good or better than that of the rest of Canada.Yet he and a number of his ministers frequently blame the province's federal connection for conditions here, alleged at those other times as inferior to what other regions enjoy.He really cannot have it both ways; and it adds nothing to his stature to complain, as he does, that the drawing of attention to such inconsistencies is \u2018sick\u2019 journalism.One wonders why the premier bothers at all to address Anglophone groups.On the other hand, one wonders why he and his colleagues do not make a greater effort to consult Anglophone groups which, after all, comprise a substantial proportion of the population of Quebec.After all the scare tactics of the more extreme Péquistes\u2014Dr.Laurin\u2019s language and cultural sabre-rattling, Mr.Parizeau\u2019s hatcheting of business and investment confidence\u2014most of us will still be around as part of the Quebec scene to which we were born and to which we inalienably belong.It must be dawning on cabinet that we are not all going away, that as much as they may wish, Quebec never will be an exclusively French state.If this be so, and given the assuredly continued thrust toward assertion of the dominance of Francophone hegemony here\u2014with or without the PQ in power\u2014the government would do well to face up to the reality of Quebec's on-going \u201cEnglish fact.\u2019 French Canada or, if the term is preferred, French Quebec is capable of great things.So much more would be possible in concert\u2014rather than constant bickering\u2014with those citizens who do not happen to be French in origin.ser vu 0Seu LEE ew » ae ie dir Information solicited on Frederick G.Todd Sir: I am in the process of doing research on the landscape architect and planner, Frederick G.Todd (b.1876).Mr.Todd resided at 597 Argyle avenue in Westmount.Among his many accomplishments are Beaver Lake, Ile St.Helene, Champ de Mars, the gardens of the Bronfman homes in Westmount \u2014to name just a few on the island of Montreal.He was also a member of Montreal city council for eight years commencing in 1940.If anyone has any documents or information on Mr.Todd that they would be kind enough to share with me, I would appreciate hearing from them.JoAnn Issenman 493 Elm avenue WESTMOUNT H3Y 3H9 Sunnyside graduate questions restriction (A copy of the following letter has been sent to The Examiner:) Miss Ellinor Brown, 250 Lansdowne avenue, Westmount, P.Q.Dear Miss Brown: I! read with interest, like many graduates of Sunnyside School, the article in The Westmount Examiner this week until I reached the section in which you stated that the school reopened across the street in Westmount YMCA but \u2018\u2018it was not our school.\u201d\u2019 Why was it not *\u2018our school\u201d if it, Sunnyside School, CITY council chamber, which is set up to seat 40 or more members of the public and easily cah accommodate more, had six onlookers other than the press Monday night.One couple, on their first visit, expressed amazement that there wasn\u2019t more citizen interest.Half dozen or so persons is par for the course, unless a popularly \u201chot\u201d issue is afoot.Yet at every meeting there are matters which should be of abiding concern to the people of Westmount.Regular meetings are normally the first Monday of each month\u2014watch the city's \u2018Official Notice Board\u2019 each week on our page two.e * * SOMEONE \u2018tidying up\u2019 shoved a Montreal Star behind a shelf of books in our living room in late December 1975.A year-end review of Quebec affairs by Dominique Clift in these yellowed pages is headlined: \u2018A very bad year for Premier Bourassa.\u201d As the provincial Liberals in convention next week may recall, 1976 was rather worse!

Printers\u2019 paradise Mrs.Hooff has had her appetite for lore of the community's earlier days whetted as president of the Westmount Historical Association and has written the following in the hope \u2018that there will be some feedback in the form of information from old-timers and descendants of any of the people mentioned.\u201d\u2019 It was pre-ordained that The West- mount Examiner should come to roost on Hillside avenue.Old Lovells directories show that this part of West- mount has always been a haven of printers.Two ghosts from the past, residents of Blenheim (then Belmont) Place, must haunt The Examiner's former home on St.Catherine street, for Thomas U.Herst, a printer, lived at 103 Belmont Place in the late 90s and Henry Appleton, an engraver, appears in 1903 at 116 Belmont, but it is the Hillside area which has boasted printers, @hotographers and lithographers for the best part of a century.From 1883 J.H.Elliott, then describing himself as lithographer, had a printing business at 4446 St.Catherine on the corner of Metcalfe avenue.By 1897 he was living in a large house on Hillside which had been built by John Moodie in the 70s, and in that year he published a map \u2018\u2018Shewing the Latest Improvements of the Town of West- mount.\u201d The Westmount Historical Association has an original of this map.When Canadian Pacific bought the south side of the street in order to make its freight yard, Mr.Elliott's house was demolished and he moved to 4444 St.Catherine, presumably above his shop, and was still in business there in 1903, but now described in Lovell\u2019s as an artist.A contemporary of his was William Dagg.secretary-treasurer of the Jubilee Medal Some 30,000 medals marking the silver jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II have been awarded recently and are being mailed to their recipients.Officials at Rideau Hall in Ottawa say that lists are not available on a geographical basis.The Examiner is pleased to provide this corner to

ago.Still more printers Across the street at 160 Metcalfe lived E.G.Hart, a printer, (Lovell 1898)and in Elliott's house on St.Catherine another lithographer, William Wesbroom.Back on Hillside, Wm.J.Benallock, lithographer, lived at old No.17, the duplex beside the Alloycraft factory.And editors?Well, one had to range , further afield to Greene avenue where in 1885 lived Henry Dalby, who was editor of The Star, or to Victoria to find the residence of David Currie, editor of The Witness, a leading Montreal paper at that time.The most tantalizing of them all, however, deserves more research than this writer has so far been able to devote to her.She was Mrs.Chas.H.Dobbin on St.Catherine west and, while her husband is merely a \u2018wholesale clothier,\u201d in 1885 she is listed as \u2018Editor and Proprietress of The Gossip.\u201d The suspicious circumstance is the brevity of this listing.The Gossip must have been too scandalous\u2014or too dull\u2014-to last, for by 1889 Dobbin was living in The Towers (now 4136 Dorchester) and the paper was no more.\u2014Sally Hooff ag : .EE ¥ Le mi ) You The Westmount Examiner, Thursday.April 6.our M.N.A.George Springate says.14 French press stilled on PQ Three French dailies have not been published for more than six months.Workers walked out on strike in early October 1977 in the case of Montreal Matin and La Presse, and in late August 1977 in the Le Soleil dispute.The only French newspaper published on a daily basis since in the Montreal and Quebec City areas that reports political affairs on a serious, objective basis is Le Devoir.This lack of political discussion in the French press has given the Parti Québécois in general and René Lévesque in particular a distorted point of view as to their popularity and political judgment.In the past six months, Le Devoir and the English press have been the only ones, therefore, which have criticized the Quebec government.That Le Devoir attacks the PQ is not news.Claude Ryan's former paper is expected to do this.So are the members of the English media.Others, such as La Presse, walk a more nationalist line.Therefore, adverse comments hit home.Premier Lévesque has not read these comments since the strike began.He has forgotten that many, if not most, of his government actions of the past half year would have been highly criticized by French press editorials had they been written.They weren't and the PQ have fallen into the human trap of believing that since they were not attacked all is well.Do editorials, letters to the editor, and news

TV or radio station to support his plan, at least editorially.It might not be what the community wants.But my experience has shown me that community needs have not always been the ministers\u2019, premier\u2019s, or daily newspapers\u2019 concern.But when nothing is written, governments go along their own path blind to complaints, however, legitimate, from their traditional sources of criticism and totally unaware of dissatisfaction from their own home base.And, today, that is where the PQ stands.It is not so much that the English press has attacked.It is simply there have been no complaints

status last year, including a net surplus of almost $576,000, was painted by Finance Commissioner Ald.Alwyn Lloyd Monday night in presenting the city\u2019s audited financial statement for 1977.Ald.Lloyd had high praise for the work of city staff in holding down expenditures while Westmount ended up collecting far more money \u2014mostly from the newly-imposed transfer tax on immovables and the collection of more court fines than ex- pected\u2014than it had budgeted for.The extra money, he said, would go into the city\u2019s reserve and allow for far more flexibility in future capital expenditures than the city had anticipated.\u2018\u2019The administration of the city showed its resilience and superior capabilities by carrying out the affairs of our city within (its) constraints in a manner which, I don't believe, impinged greatly on the quality of services necessary to satisfy our citizens,\u201d the finance commissioner reported.\u2018The budgetary restraints and cost- cutting measures imposed in 1976 and continued in 1977 were capable of being met and were realistic.\u201d In fact, costs were kept below budget in most areas of city operation, including general administration, fire depart Text of Finance Comments ment, \u2018\u2018environmental and health services\u201d (sewers and garbage collection), recreation department, library and general financing programs.Snow removal costly The only major city expense to go over budget was snow removal, which soared almost 10 percent above the budgeted $800,520, mainly because of heavier snows than expected last December, according to Ald.Lloyd.The Quebec-sanctioned tax, on transfer of immovables brought Westmount $113,000 unbudgeted dollars, thanks as much to a very busy real estate year as to the imposition of the tax last May.Also, the installation of a \u201cCPIC\" computer at the local station gave police the opportunity to check drivers for outstanding traffic warrants, raising a substantial amount of extra money which the city did not expect right away; the fines collected were some $75,000 over budget.Interest collected on tax arrears also was more than budgeted, perhaps because the city has revamped its collection system and streamlined the whole process, and overall tax revenues\u2014specially business taxes\u2014were higher than expected.Beyond this, the city light and power department brought in some $42,000 more than (Following is the full text of the comments of West- mount's finance commissioner, Ald.Alwyn D.Lloyd, on the city\u2019s financial statement for 1977, presented to city council Monday evening:) It is my pleasant duty to table, for your acceptance, the audited financial statements of the city for the year ended December 31, 1977.I say pleasant, because the overall results for the year in comparison with budget were encouraging in two respects: 1.The budgetary restraints and cost cutting measures imposed in 1976 and continued in 1977 were capable of being met an were realistic; .he administration of the city showed its resilience and superior capabilities by carrying out the affairs of our city.within these constraints in a manner which, I don\u2019t believe, impinged greatly on the quality of services necessary to satisfy our citizens.I might mention only the Expenditures, excluding the electric utility operations, were held to a total amount of $51,000 in excess of the budget levels.Offsetting this factor, we were required to provide an amount of $292,000 as an appropriation to cover the 1976 deficit whereas we had budgeted $391,000 for this element, giving us a favorable variance of $99,000.These factors, coupled with the favorable increase in revenues, produced an excess of revenue over expenditure for the year of $576,000, being $281,000 more than we had budgeted.Looking at the salient items of expenditures that were at variance with the budget, I have the following comments: The major variation was an excess of $76,000 for snow removal costs due principally highlights of certain revenue\u2014to heavy activity during and expenditure categories where there were substantial deviations from budget.Isolating the electric utility operations from all other departments, we see our net revenue from this facility increasing by $55,000 over budget, resulting in a net contribution of $324,000 to the city\u2019s revenues.All other revenue sources showed an increase ôf $178,000 over budget, with the following items being the major areas of variation.New duty on immoveables Increased court fines Interest earned from various sources Taxation\u2014increase over budget December 1977.In addition, we absorbed charges of $38,000 for capital expenditures out of revenue and additional expenditures of $34,000 over amounts previously provided in certain by-laws, both of which were not included in the budget.In total, all other expenditures were under budget.The excess of revenue for the year when added to the previous balance of appropriated surplus under by-law 436 leaves $113,000 75,000 62,000 71,000 $321,000 Less: Quebec sales tax being less than anticipated by $107,000 Anticipated sales of capital assets which did not take place in 1977 (Campbell Gardens) Other items 58,000 (165,000 Î 22,000 $178,000 expected, mostly because of reduced costs.Total revenues amounted to $4,146,377 while the department cost $3,822,051 to operate, so the profit could be used to defray other city operating expenses.The balance sheet shows that Westmount is \u2018\u2018\u2019healthily within accepted norms,\u201d Ald.Lloyd reported, with a debenture debt representing, only 3.33 percent of the total city valuation and the debt service costs equal to 8.22 percent of the total revenue.Most municipalities do not enjoy such low ratios, he suggested.He did not mention the fact that in 1976 West- mount\u2019s debt ratio was 4.03 percent of total valuation and has not been so low since 1969, the earliest year reported at the back of the financial statement.Despite the \u2018\u2018pleasant\u2019\u2019 Westmount financial picture, this city is facing larger and larger problems shouldering its share of the debt obligations to the Montreal Urban Community and the MUC Transit Commission, which went up by $3,072,000 during 1977 and stood at $8,150,000 by the end of December.That figure represents 51.6 percent of the city's own total debt.General property taxes, which make up 30 percent of Westmount's net revenue, brought in only $16,700 more than the seity ! had budgeted.a balance of $842,516.As voted earlier in this meeting, we have constituted a working fund of $500,000 from this balance leaving $342,516 as appropriated surplus under by-law 436.This gives the city a degree of mobility in financing future projects.Turning to the balance sheet of the administration fund we enjoyed a very favorable position in short term deposits at December 31, 1977 as compared with 1976.Our level of accounts receivable was down somewhat in 1977, reflecting an improved collection process.\u2019 In addition to these improvements, $480,000 had been advanced from the administration fund to finance temporarily capital projects in progress.Such amounts will be recovered from an anticipated debenture issue later in 1978.Our net debenture debt amounted to $15,789,000, a reduction of $517,000 during the year.As a percentage of total \u2018taxable valuation, the debenture debt was 3.33 percent and the ratio of debt service cost to total revenue was 8.22 percent.Both factors were well within accepted norms.The only disturbing factor in our overall financial statements is contained in the accompanying notes where we must recognize the city's indirect share of the debenture obligation of the Montreal Urban Community and the Montreal Urban Community Transit Commission.Our share now stands at $8,150,000, which is an increase of $3,072,000 since December 31, 1976.This obligation is not recorded in the accounts of the city.However, such an amount now exceeds 50 percent of the city's own net debenture debt.With these comments I respectfully submit the financial report for 1977 for your consideration.CITY OF WESTMOUNT STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, TAXATION General property Montreal Urban Community Current assessments Surtax

1,097, 100 34,381 49,364 68,590 Fund gives financing flexibility Over and out Westmount city council took an important step toward improved fiscal responsibility Monday night, establishing a $500,000 \u2018\u2018working fund\u2019 on which it can draw for minor capital investments.The fund means that West- mount will not have to include monies to purchase new cars, for example, in large debenture issues which stretch out over 10 or 20 years\u2014far beyond the life of the car\u2014and simply add to the city\u2019s long-term debt.\u2018This is a pool of resources we can work from,\u201d Finance Commissioner Ald.Alwyn Lloyd said of the plan.\u2018\u2018It\u2019s an intermediate station for financing.\u201d On a question from Ald.David Carruthers, Ald.Lloyd explained that the working fund does not mean Westmount will have to go to public debentures to finance capital expen- ditures\u2014since every appropriation from the fund must be replenished within five years\u2014 but that \u2018\u2018it just gives us more flexibility.\" The original $500,000 for the fund is being drawn from West- mount's long-term reserve fund, which has been increased substantially this year because of a surplus in last year\u2019s budget.That reserve fund still has some $342,000 in it, to help the city over any deficits it may incur in the future.PREVENT \u2018ROOF BLUES\u2019 LAMBERT ROOFING ge

local station.1f he determines that the call is urgent, he will have to use the inter-police \"PAX\" line to notify the dispatcher.Otherwise, he will simply tell the caller to dial the new number.If a person is confused or without a dime at a pay telephone, he can dial 0 and the Bell Canada operator will channel the call to the police central.The new phone number reaches the same downtown telephone console as the Montreal number, 872-1313, which now is being used by citizens of the central city, LaSalle, Town of Mount Royal.Montreal North, Montreal East and Pointe-aux-Trembles.Thus phone calls on either number would have the same effect, erasing the \u2018\u2018borderline\u201d confusion some persons on the fringes of Westmount might once have had.Westmounters, however, are being asked to learn the 934-2121 number (easier for them since it's a Westmount exchange) because in December it will become the official number for the entire island.By 1981, moreover, the entire police telephone system will be computer-integrated, with all police phone locals in the MUC working through the Atwater exchange, which will have reserved the \u2018934\u2019 prefix for them.Local walkie-talkies What this means in terms of response time and familiarity with local geography and situations must still be determined.Police cars are no longer fitted with the West- mount \u2018\u2018XJF-78\u2019' radio crystals which once kept them in touch with the local station and fire department, but officials point out that men will have walkie- talkies on a private band, which can be used for internal communications with the station.This remaining vestige of local communication will have minimal use, however, a police spokesman told The Examiner, mainly to allow officers at the station to contact men if the need arises.Police officials say the new load on downtown police lines will be handled by men moved out of the local stations in Ville St.Pierre, Montreal West, Cote St.Luc, Hampstead and Lachine, whose stations have been closed in a concurrent move.They promised, however, that the new telephone system would not result in a reduction in patrols.They claim that because five stations are being closed, this allows for in-house staff moves at a considerable saving to taxpayers.Use of the new radio channels also means that Sector 30 police cars in Westmount will no longer have direct contact on the civil defence channel, though officials said the men still would be in contact with the provincial civil defence network.\u201cWe wanted to proceed more rapidly to integration of the telephone communications systems, but insurmountable technical difficulties have held us back until now,\u201d Director André De Luca of the operational services division said last Friday.He did not mention the political pressure against integration of police phone numbers, saying only, \u2018People have lots of sympathy for their local stations.1 understand that.\u201d He added, though, that integration of the radio systems means '\u2018all the policemen .can henceforth coordinate their efforts in emergency situations.\" Though not clearly stated at the press conference, this seems to have been the main reason for the change.Non-emergency numbers Those who wish to call the local station for information can still contact the police desk at 934-0711, and the old numbers for the detective office, ticket office, police command, clerk of court, and other departments are still valid.The fire emergency number, 935-2456, remains the same, of course, and since the fire phone is still in the same room as the local police desk, communication between the two departments is still relatively simple.If a person calls about a fire on the new police line, however, the call will be channeled through downtown, returned to Westmount on the three-digit \u201cPAX\" line and passed on to the fire department.A police spokesman said tags to place beside the phone with the new police emergency number are available at the local station.Groups or organizations which wish to distribute the tags in bulk can obtain them either through the Westmount station or by calling 872-5573.Full bill, higher rates for water tax Westmounters can expect a substantial rate increase for water tax this year, as much as 24 percent according to Mayor Donald MacCallum, added to the fact that last year West.mounters had to pay only two- thirds of the total amount on their 1977-78 invoices.Though the city did protest the rate increases, much of it is justified because of the debt service for the Desbaillets water plant, now under construction, and the Quebec Municipal Commission turned down the appeal.The total bill to be spread among Westmount ratepayers is $721,711, a $141,000 increase from the total for last year.Beyond that, last year West- mounters had a balance owing from Montreal of some $200,100, so their tax bills\u2014the first since 1973\u2014were reduced by almost two-thirds.Mayor MacCallum said Montreal had agreed not to order a new rental value roll for 1978, considering valuations (and thus rental values) had not changed substantially in the past year, so the new rates will be based on the same rental values as last year.However, the full charge of an increased water tax rate will send the actual tax payments up almost 90 percent over what West-

Church Sunday at 11:00 am will feature singing by the Westmount Junior Choir under the direction of Georgia Carpenter.The choir, a group drawn from St.Andrew's and West- mount Park churches and from the community, will sing \u2018Sing a song of praise,\u201d with violin solo by Vanessa Goymour; \u201cGive ear unto me,\u201d with soloist Janice Nightingale; \u201cLike as a father,\u201d with the Westmount Park Senior Choir; and \u2018Carpenter man.\u201d Two psalm selections will be read by choir members Sarah Campbell, James Soutar, Jennifer Carpenter and Jonathan Ruzius.The theme of this post-Easter service is on the nature and condition of the Christian church.The children's message, \u2018Words are funny,\u201d will be given by Nandy Johnston, the well-known author of children's stories and member of the church.The sermon to be given by the Rev.J.Ernest Nix is titled \u2018The church\u2014realistic or unrealistic?\u201d Everyone is most welcome to attend the service and the social hour following in Webster Hall.coats are, from left, William Riordon, 646 Roslyn avenue; Heidi Blume, 375 Olivier avenue and Drew Hill, 4806 Cedar crescent.Science, religion closer with new look at mysteries \u2018Is man alone?It's hard to believe in UFOs and visitors from outer space, yet the openness of some scientists to this possibility is intriguing,\u201d Rev.E.A.Kirker noted last Sunday at St.Andrew's Church.\u201cThey admit that we are probably alone, but then again that we may not be.And in that \u2018may not be\u2019 lies wonder, fascination and the possibility of surprise.\u201d In a sermon titled \u2018Close encounters of another kind\" the minister of the Cote St.Antoine road church examined the indications of life beyond the visible.Noting the recent questioning of traditional views of the universe as a closed system of immutable laws and polemical categories which left no room for mystery or miracle, Dr.Kirker pointed out a growing rapprochement of science, philosophy and religion.Relating this to Christian belief in the resurrection, the local clergyman examined objections voiced by critics and concluded, \u201cWe are not sentimentalists living in a world of fantasy.Life is hard and uncertain for many, but we know there are more things than philosophy, science or even theology have dreamt of.Already we have hints and clues of a fuller existence than reason or logic can perceive.Because of Easter we know that we are not alone.\u201d The sermon at St.Andrew's this Sunday at 11 am is titled \u2018Expanding circles.\u201d Members of the church school will attend the opening part of the service before leaving for classes.Music by the choir will include \u201cO sons and daughters\u2019 by Shaw and works by Lasso and Duruflé.lan

are amplified from the tower and are heard from quite some distance outside, as well as in the sanctuary.The organ prelude will be \u201cLo, God is here, let us adore\u201d (Sonata 6, Variations 1-3)

now out of the Westmount arena, and the final results of this year's hockey program are in.The last of the playoffs were completed last week.In one of this season's closest final series, the atom Bulls secured the league championship last Saturday morning.The Mules and Bulls faced off in the rubber game after each having won a match by one goal in previous weeks.The Bulls came back froma 2- 0 deficit to win the last game by a 3-2 score.Mengo McCall had two goals with teammate Forms mailed out for new-style recreation cards Westmount residents recently received application forms for new, non-transferable recreation cards which will be good for two years.Included with the applications and forms for the permits was a schedule of activities for the May 27 \u2018Family Day\u201d in Westmount Park.The recreation pass application material should have included a large registration card and four smaller cards which are the actual forms to be sealed into plastic along with the applicant's photo.If more than four members of a family wish to sign up, môre forms are available at the recreation department office in the city arena.City officials suggest names be typed on the form, though clearly-written block letters will be acceptable, and returned with 1l4 inch by 2 inch (3.8 cm by 5 cm) photographs of each person to receive a permit.The most acceptable type of photos are ones made in a photo machine (those in Alexis Nihon Plaza are the closest to West- mount, it seems), either color or black and white.If such a machine is not used, the photos should be on single-weight paper and have the entire head contained within the margins of the photo, since it will be trimmed slightly.The cards come into force as soon as they are approved by the city and returned to the applicant.If a person shows up at a recreational facility with an old recreation card, that will be taken from them and they will be asked to fill out an application form for a new card, though they will be allowed to use the facility in the meantime.Officials said photocopies of proof of residence forms such as light bills, driver's license, telephone bills or other addressed material (light bills are the best) would suffice, though if originals are submitted they will be mailed back to the citizens along With the processed applications.The cards are good for use at all the city's recreation facilities, including not only the ice rink, pool and tennis courts but for organized sports (the permit numbers are used in making lists of teams), use of baseball diamonds and playing fields and even use of park areas by large groups.Applications were coming in already by the beginning of the week, but there has been a slight delay in processing them because one machine had not arrived on time.Officials said they expect to start sending back the completed forms next week.All questions about the forms should be directed to the recreation department, 932- 4293.A DEPENDABLE
