[" é Westmount updating its disaster pl By LAUREEN SWEENEY If emergency or disaster strikes, how well prepared is Westmount?How quickly could areas of the city be evacuated?What resources are available within the community to cope with an explosion, chemical spill, major ice storm or earthquake?What help would be required from outside and from whom?- Those are some of the questions currently being reviewed and assessed by city officials in updating Westmount\u2019s emergency measures plan in conjunction with the Bureau de la protection civile du Québec, an office of the justice ministry.\u201cWestmount is well organized in emergency measures,'\u2019 said G.Hervé Lesage, regional director of the bureau, following a meeting last week at city hall.\u2018\u2019The city has done a great deal of work in the right direction.It now remains for Westmount to structure its existing plan to our guideline,\u2019 he said referring to a master provincial emergency measures plan offered to municipalities.- Westmount is in region 6 which includes 4 million of Quebec\u2019s 6 million population and, since 1976, 312 of the 362 Quebec municipalities over 500 population in the region have chosen to structure emergency plans to the guideline, he said, making the province \u2018\u2018second to none\u2019\u2019 in emergency preparedness.Standardization of plans would speed up pro- .\u2026 .and learning from experience of Mississauga The mass evacuation of citizens from communities in emergency situations is one of many concerns brought back by two Westmount officials from the Conference for Emergency Preparedness for the '80\u2019s, held in Toronto, Nov.16 - 19.Dir.Sidney Ashford of the Public Security Unit and Platoon Chief Robert Nicoll of the Westmount Fire Brigade attended the conference to bring back as much information as possible \u2018in order to update and improve our own emergency operation.\u201d The conference, attended by $2,172 gone Cheques and cash totalling $2,172 apparently disappeared from a desk in a furniture store in 1 Westmount Square Thursday between 3 pm and 7:45 pm police report.more than 1,500 delegates from Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa and the Orient, was sponsored by the Ontario Government and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.It was the result of numerous enquiries from around the world concerning the successful evacuation of 218,000 persons from the Toronto suburb of Mississauga following a train derailment and the spilling of lethal chlorine gas just over a year ago.\u2019 \u2018\u2019The conference has given us a good insight into how an evacuation is carried out without panic, as well as some of the problems arising from it,\u201d explained Dir.Ashford on his return.\u2018There is no doubt that what we learned there was beneficial to our planning here.\u201d P/C Nicoll, who represented Fire Chief Edward Martell, said Continued on page 29 Happy Old Year DON'T write off 1980

St.Henri-Westmount Tories will be offering their support \u201cboth to Joe Clark and to West- mounter Peter Blaikie at next February's national Progressive Conservative convention.This became clear last Thursday as candidates for the local delegation to the Ottawa meeting expressed their views to = some 75 members on hand for the annual meeting and Christmas party of the St.Henri- Westmount Progressive Conservative Association in the lobby of the Old Post Office on Greene avenue.Everyone claimed he or she would oppose a leadership review at the convention, and all backed their

two others are planning to try for the position.He follows close on the trail of another Westmounter who held the post, Michael Meighen, who has since moved to Toronto.\u201cI think we need to turn

it is supportable that the national government should from the beginning have reserved a role for national networks.This is not to say the CBC is the ideal.The witness heard in Winnipeg may not so readily have praised the people's network if he had lived in Montreal at present, where all CBC local and Quebec news coverage has been blacked out for weeks by a strike El of journalists which neither side appears to have any sense or urgency to settle.The reason: there are no commercial imperatives for management to maintain ratings as listeners, inevitably followed by advertisers on the television side, turn to stations where the dollar still counts.Another reason the Kent commission is a make-work project for the commissioners is the phoney assumption that the people of the above-named cities, and others before them when newspapers died, are deprived persons.Balderdash.In recent decades, the number of newspapers has grown as the population and the communities in which they live have grown.There are more dailies in Canada than there were 30 years ago.Just as important, if not more so, the number of community: weeklies probably has more than doubled while the number of specialized papers, magazines and trade journals has expanded almost beyond count.They are born, many flourish and some, from time to time, die.Publishing is an evolutionary thing, guided as much by the clientele as by \u2018the publishers.À periodical must hack it in the marketplace.Amalgamations and development of chains is a natural aspect of that evolution, and no one has yet proved them bad.In fact, without being an apologist for the Southams or the Thompsons, a very good case could be made that their financial strengths have strengthened the properties they have acquired There are, in fact, numerous alternative channels for expression in Canada.The likelihood of any community or interest being hoodwinked for long simply because there is only one daily in a city and because it happens to be owned by a conglomerate is remote.We feel bound to remind those persons who may think English Montreal is not so well served by The Gazette Hon.Donald J.Johnston says e ee People first DURING this past weekend on the West Coast, I received many views on western alienation and the recent emergence of western \u2018\u2018separatism.\u201d For some of us in the east, the spectre of the wealthiest part of our country preaching separation may seem paradoxical.Alberta and British Columbia both enjoy a level of per capita income considerably higher than the rest of Canada and, by any yardstick, the area is booming.The same is true of Saskatchewan, but to a lesser extent.Money, we are told, is not the real issue.I believe that is true.There are numerous issues, the most significant being the lack of political clout.Ontario and Quebec rule Parliament by sheer numbers and will continue to do so until demographic changes catch up with economic prosperity.That is, of course, unless we change our system to create a counter-balancing regional force such as the U.S.Senate.In the absence of elected members on the government benches and in cabinet, the irritation will continue.Preaching separation is not a sensible or responsible answer to the problems perceived by western Canadians.While we must be sensitive to and understanding of their grievances, surely they, in turn, must recognize that Ontario and Quebec do represent the interests of approximately 15 million Canadians; that there are many more Canadians in the City of Montreal than in the whole of Alberta.People will always be our most important asset, not natural resources.Canadians must be careful not to confuse legitimate complaints about the absence of regional representation with a desire to equate political influence and wealth.alone as it was when The Star was around that they have numerous alternatives.The Globe & Mail's excellent satellite edition comes immediately to mind.The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, also available here on day of publication, have been discovered by numerous Montrealers.Some, to their great good, even have discovered the French press as a source of daily prints.We might immodestly point out, too, that the more local weeklies should not be written off \u2014they don\u2019t appear to have been mentioned, yet, before the Kent inquiry\u2014as important avenues for news and views.Canada\u2019s press, in short, consists of far more than the dailies.In this closer-to-home context, there may be persons in Westmount who feel that J.W.Sancton and his sons are operating a newspaper monopoly in Westmount.Perhaps we are, if only because no one else is challenging us at the moment The commission has been told that it takes too much money to start a newspaper.Well, the costs are relative.Modern, highly efficient typesetting and photo-reproduction equipment is, in fact, not so difficult to acquire or command, and most areas of Canada abound with centrally located offset newspaper presses itching for business without demanding a penny of capital investment.There is ample room for anyone with the urge, the aptitude, the fortitude and lack of good sense who wants to get into the newspaper business.But a business it is.And the last possible one which governments should be permitted, let alone invited, to stick their noses into.Indeed, it is supposed to be the other way around: newspapers\u2019 prime responsibility is to mind governments\u2019 business.eur M.N.A.George Springate says.Our singing MNA TO sing or not to sing.That was the question last Sunday evening as Pastor Johnson and friends conducted the CFCF Christmas basket campaign.And, what a night it was! You responded in your usual style.More than $57,000 was pledged.If past years are any indication, that means that some $65,000 will be submitted to the good pastor to assist him in his endeavors.More than 2,000 families will be helped.Larry Robinson, David Palmer, Gerry Datillio, Roger Doucet and Red Storey were just a few on the celebrities who came along to lend a hand to Pastor Johnson in his 16th annual campaign.In 1965 we raised $200.on CFOX.We have come a log way.l use the pronoun \u2018\u2018\u201cwe\u2019\u2019 as I was with the pastor way back in 1965.I have been on every Christmas show since.It has now become a ritual.The Johnson- Springate team mans the lines for the final, three-hour sprint.Every year that dash becomes more exciting, more exhilarating.This year Red Storey joined us to wind up the show.He was fantastic.But so were you.| thank you.Part of the joy of the day-long campaign is the aspect of having people pledge money to the cause and asking either to hear me sing or not at the very end of the program.Once again this year those who wished to hear me sing pledged more than those who wished to protect their ears.We closed out the night with my velvet tones floating over the air waves to the amusement of Pastor Johnson, Red Storey and Dick Irvin, in the studio and the thousands of listeners at home, The song is always the same.Two verses and two choruses of *\u2018Yes, Jesus loves me.\u201d Erp \u2014\u2014 an Our ae ne amt Pe ar nS, a ses eee pear ee oer ro Serpe gee ds ac em AA mn | 2 4) A > == Wm fie HIN ne | Del D din BATTING el A5 In Ta = x Se Se | 2 {7 X no TNS 4 IN ITS LONG OVERDVE.i /, THAT'LL BE \u20141 $52,000.2.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 11, 1980 - 5 sé week in St.Mary's ST.MARY's Hospital has a feeling of being virtually in Westmount.It lies only a block or two north of Queen Mary road, directly opposite St.Joseph's Oratory.From its upper rooms one can see houses and trees of West- mount.Many of its doctors and other staff are Westmounters.Over the years at THE EXAMINER we have felt, from items we have carried, that practically all of its valuable and active Auxiliary reside in Westmount, no less than is the case with the Royal Vic, the Montreal General, the Queen Elizabeth (about the same distance beyond our borders as St.Mary's and about the same size), the Children\u2019s (on our doorstep) and the Reddy, the only hospital within our boundary.These are not the sort of things one dwells on for any particular reason, except as happened to us\u2014landing up suddenly and unexpectedly as a patient there for a week with lots of time to reflect on such facts, relevant and irrelevant.St.Mary's was not our choice; it happened to be the hospital with which the first local doctor to whom we turned in distress is associated.It simply had not occurred to us that someone who was neither Irish nor Roman Catholic would necessarily end up there.(Wesimount's Ald.Brian O'N.Gallery proudly points out that St.Mary's was founded by his grandfather, Dr.Donald A.Hingston.He founded well.) In the event, from the names on the paging system and the voices in the halls, every race and creed seems to be represented in both staff and clien:c'e Our surgeon turned out to be a promin eut mer ber of the Jewish commer; When we remarked upon this, ve told, \u201cOh, all the Irish are ove (0 77 Jewish General!\u2019 Thus we *\u2026rned real ecumenism long since has penetrated our healing institutions.Before leaving this vein, it might i interesting and even arnusing to note that on the afternoon of admitlauce, prior to going to the operating room, a tall, young, RC priest appeared at the door of our room and asked if we would like communion.\u2018I'm an Anglican,\u201d we informed him.\u2018\u2018Oh, l\u2019m sorry,\u201d he said as he retreated\u2014too hastily, for we would have liked at least to have chatted with him.He never reappeared; nor was there a sign of clergy of any other denomination or faith, though we are told there are some ministering at St.Mary's.One of the things a chaplain might have done was assuage our one irrational fear when we suddenly remembered that we have been pretty heavy editorially in recent months on the president of the Westmount provincial Liberal association and that that same citizen also is president of the St.Mary's Hospital corporation! Or a frontal lobotomy We had visions of a scaipel sticking out of our ribs, a fatal dose of wrong medication or a permanent anaesthetic; at the very least, a frontal lobotomy performed on us by the Liberal executive in the recovery room.In the event, the worst that happened was that first night being awakened, just into a sound sleep, to be told we wouldn't be getting breakfast next morning (it took two hours of tossing and reading to get back to dreamland) and on a subsequent afternoon, just starting a post-lunch nap, being brought back to instant wakefulness by a sweet voice asking: \u2018\u2018Have you had a bowel movement today?\u201d We have no reason to believe that either of the nurses directly concerned had anything to do with the Le You Prospect-Belvedere issues z Thank you\u2019 Sir.Pros\u201d \u20181 Belvedere Services Carp.foo TRE EXAMINER would like Lo theo 7 nes who have contributed 1e vs ooo financial campaign.Our 1980 ar + en, individuals in the vommu- its rw omy \u2026- 2110108 V5 8 4 11e 0 0101 SE ES .ow.\u201cone - emmy ml 4 \u201cT ve mm se .Af | > Ge es ldcda ie asie dla su sen tua EN Eee na ue eR a CER wees LOC, La a 13005230 Cdl UT rus des - 2» av4uds 642400 USA ROP Vs UHR CRE IS ERGMWAVES BAP | AU TU SEAT ES SLT ER ESA AMGAAS ESS UUDNCCUO SD a EN \u2014\u2014m\u2014 The: Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 11, 1980 - 9 EL A variety of music for the season Two concerts 3 by choir judged \u2018finest\u2019 The Choir of the Church of St.Andrew and St.Paul, under the direction of Westmounter Wayne Riddell, will present two Christmas concerts this season.The choir has been judged \u2018finest in Canada\u2019 by the Canada Council and won the Healey Willan prize in a competition among nearly 100 Canadian choirs.The first concert will be Sunday, Dec.14, at 4 pm at the church, corner of Bishop and Sherbrooke streets.The choir will join the internationally acclaimed Canadian Brass for the concert, to be taped for broadcast by CBC radio.The concert will feature music for brass and choir by Handel, Bach, Gabrielli, Rutter and Schütz.Broadcast times for the concert are Dec.21 at 11:05 am and Christmas Day at 11:35 am on the stereo FM network and at 10:35 pm Christmas Day on the AM network.The choir's second concert will be at 4:30 pm Sunday, Dec.21.Titled \u2018\u2018Carols by Candlelight,\u201d the performance will include carols from the 16th to 20th century.Guest artist will be harpist Manon Lecompte and the women of the choir will sing \u2018A Ceremony of Carols\u201d by Benjamin Britten.;
