[" By ANDY DODGE AGREEMENT by the City of Montreal to a plan for the integration of trains into the Montreal Urban Community Transit Commission bus and Métro network constitutes a major victory for suburban mayors, a proud Mayor Donald MacCallum said yesterday, and gives suburbs a good reason for being part of the urban community.Mayor MacCallum hailed the \u2018\u2018highly acceptable integrated plan,\u201d which includes lifting the moratorium on Métro extensions and establishment of two surface-rail lines, one from Central Station to Deux Montagnes and one from St.Laurent to Repentigny.Progress being made on CPR plan Westmount is \u2018making progress in the direction of providing a CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) service for citizens,\u201d Mayor Donald Mac- Callum reported Monday evening, but he said it might still be \u201csome months\u2019 away.The city has been pressured by the Rotary Club of West- mount to institute a course to teach citizens life-saving techniques involving heart or breathing stoppages.\u201cWe are working towards that end,\u201d Mayor MacCallum stated, indicating council was amenable to the idea and was pursuing it actively.Talks are taking place with the Quebec Heart Foundation, and fire personnel are training to become instructors.Rotarians, meanwhile, are availing themselves of a second five-hour \u201cheart saver\u2019 course at the Westmount fire station, bringing in their own instructors (Dr.Charles Pierce, a Rotarian, and Nancy Kaufman, head nurse in the emergency department at St.Mary's Hospital) but using the fire department's \u2018\u201cResusci-Anne\u2019 dummies for demonsfration and practice.Library to The Westmount Public Library will open Sundays starting Feb.22, Mayor Donald Mac- FEBRUARY 5 to 12

and announced by MUC Chairman Pierre Des Marais II and Quebec Transport Minister Denis de Belleval yesterday afternoon.Mayor MacCallum had hinted Monday evening that failure of Montreal to consent to the transportation plan might have led Mayor Des Marais to resign his MUC post, and that might have led to a wholesale resignation of suburban mayors \u2014 including Mayor MacCallum \u2014 from the executive committee.\u201cIt gives everyone the idea that they belong to an MUC which is worth belonging to,\u201d Mayor MacCallum said yesterday.\"At least now we have a reason to feel that the MUC is a good thing.\" He agreed there still would be points of disagreement about the operation of the urban community executive and council, but at least for now the suburban representatives are happy.**This has put new life into us and the way is much mere clear for the time being,\u201d he stated.Initiated by suburbs Mayor MacCallum offered credit to the provincial government for hammering out the agreement, but pointed out that it had been inspired by suburban mayors, who had been working for years to have it realized.\u201cWe have to consider ourselves the initiators of the Continued

wonderful asset,\u201d said Ald.Brian Gallery, commissioner of public services.He was also \u2018pleased the library staff has been able to do it so quickly.\u201d Both the regular and children's library will open from 2 to 6 pm on Sundays under the new plan.All library facilities will, however, be closed \u201cas usual\u2019 on weekends throughout the summer from June 20 to Sept.12.All regular library services are expected to be available on Sunday afternoons, since the library board of trustees and chief librarian Norah Bryant had maintained that the library should open Sundays only if all facilities could be maintained Westmount MNA George Sprin- gate wears a cheerful look as he circles the Westmount arena ice during Saturday's Skate-A-Thon.open Sunday starting Feb.22 at a high standard.Board chairman Mrs.Nancy Hale had expressed appreciation to council for approving sufficient funds to make this possible.They had opposed the idea of using part-time staff and offering only limited services.Council's decision to institute the Sunday schedule came at the request of Ald.Gallery, who felt a number of requests from citizens warranted the additional weekend hours.It would also upgrade the quality of life in Westmount, he said.The move was also in keeping with a growing trend of libraries in neighboring communities and across Canada to opening Sundays when workers and students generally have the time to use a library.The library's Saturday times will remain unchanged, 9 am to 5 pm.Drug taken Fight boxes of a drug called Xylocaine were taken from a dentist's

their way to $9,350 in pledges Saturday afternoon at a five- hour Skate-A-Thon held at the Westmount arena, achieving a record amount for the major fund-raising project.Of the 206 skaters participating, 16 circled the rink 100 or more times in the 50 minutes allotted each group.A top 138 laps was recorded by the vice- chairman of the St.Andrew's Venturer company, Graham Rohaly, 15, 576 Cote St.Antoine road.The pledges, collected from friends, neighbors, business associates and classmates, represent more than $1,000 over last year's record $8,000, officials said.The proceeds are to be divided between the Westmount district Boy Scouts and the telethon fund for medical research at the Montreal Children's Hospital and Hôpital Ste.Justine\u2019s.\u201cWe're doing better and better every year,\u201d said district president Trevor Bishop, 10 Douglas avenue, who explained that four years ago only $2,000 was raised by the event.\u201cI'd like to thank everyone who skated and worked.It was a real team effort.\u201d The first hour of the Skate-A- Thon opened with a regular supporter of the event, West- mount MNA George Springate, racing around the rink in his characteristic style, sporting number 100 pinned to his sweater.\u201cI asked for 101,\u201d he quipped, referring to Bill 101, \u201cbut they couldn't give it to me.\u201d Later, Mr.Springate's would- be successor, Liberal candidate Richard French, recorded 98 laps to raise $120.Although some of the more Continued on page 16 Ald.Lloyd at WMA Tuesday The directors of the West- mount Municipal Association will

players continue protest over mask rule The compulsory wearing of face masks on local ice rinks is becoming a serious dispute between senior and adult hockey players and the city administration.The masks are causing games at the senior level to become rougher and less safe, the players claim, and even city officials have noticed an upswing in slashing, hooking and spearing during games.Christopher Shannon, a se- nior-league player, Monday evening read to city council a letter from the recreation department to referees asking for stricter enforcement of rules\u2014even major penalties\u2014 because of the rougher play.He also presented council with a petition signed by 37 senior-league players asking that the mask requirement be lifted because \u2018We.believe (it) is in part detrimental to the game of hockey as it now stands in the Westmount senior hockey league.\u201d The petition recognized the importance of helmets for all players, but asked that senior players be given the option of using a mask.Services Commissioner Ald.Brian Gallery said city staff had asked for the rule because \u2018it's a good thing\u2019 and is expected to be made mandatory in all amateur hockey leagues in the near future.\u201cIt's changed the style, sure, but I have been led to believe by the city staff that it has the potential of saving many accidents involving the eyes and face,\u2019 he said.He added that the blanket rule offered more encouragement for younger players, since fathers and young adults would thus \u2018'set a good example\" for the children.\u2018Shinny\u2019 stifled George Maris pointed out that the rule has virtually stifled \u2018shinny\u2019 games on the outdoor ice rinks, and inhibits older players since their downward vision is impaired; it becomes more difficult to see smaller skaters, he said.\u201cTam going to feel in one way that the city's responsible\u2019 if he injures a young child on an outdoor rink, he warned.He also suggested that a father or mother might no longer be willing to take a small child onto an outdoor rink to learn how to hit a puck, since they would be required to wear the expensive gear.Ald.Alwyn Lloyd countered with his own experience.On Sunday, he said, he had donned a too-small mask to take his 10-year-old to King George Park, and found about 20 skaters between the ages of 10 and 23 on the rink.He said he felt safer\u2014both for himself and his son\u2014with the mask, even if it was too small.The \u2018mélange\u2019 of ages and heights made the masks all the more necessary, he suggested, since a waist-level stick for adults would be held at eye- level for smaller skaters.Ald.Gallery then noted again that \u2018the aim is protection of the eyes and face.\u201d \u201cWhy not require jock straps too?\" asked Mr.Maris.\u201cI think it's a good idea!\" joked Mayor Donald Mac- Callum.\u201cI'd like to see you enforce it,\u2019 Mr.Maris returned.The senior-league representation at Monday's council session follows a similar protest from Neil Fernandes at council's Dec.15 meeting.Woman's yell scares thieves Eight rugs valued at $9,000 were dumped outside a

soon afterwards, he picked apart the review by noting it priced the publication as \u201c\u201cfree\u2019\u2019 at the top, then said it cost $11,555 in the text of the article.The expenditure, he said later, was used to print one copy of the book for each of the 9,000 households in Westmount with 4,000 copies retained for FOR L 2 LUMBER *® AND \u201cWEEKDAYS: 7:30 to 5:30 P.M.SATURDAYS: 8:30t0 4 P.M.CALL 748-6161 SHEARER RUTHERFORD INC.50 STINSON BLVD.2 blocks E.of National Film Board issue to new residents as they take up light and power accounts with the city.\u201cWe are only talking about degrees,\u201d he stated, explaining that the city stayed away from too many details so that the book could remain valid for at least the next three years.\u2018\u2018Perhaps if the reviewer had known that he wouldn't have been so critical.\u201d Despite Ald.Gallery's vigorous defence of the booklet, Westmount Municipal Association President Mrs.Sally Aitken later reported that WMA directors \u2018\u201c\u2018weren\u2019t all that positive\u2019 in their reaction to the publication.The city had balked on supporting a WMA effort to put out a handbook for citizens two years ago, she reminded him, since it had argued that most of the information they had proposed offering was already available in Lovell\u2019s Directory (pp.2-17, bilingual).That directory has more information than the city handbook, she pointed out.iv Ve ees .0-0 at ete = MAR AMEN) .« 933-4046 WATCH REPAIRS Family-owned since 1899 OHMAN\u2019S Certified watchmakers JEWELLERS 1216 Greene Avenue CHESS NUTS: Westmount High School student Steve Miller, right, makes a move against fellow WHS student Robert Valdmanis in a practice match last Friday at the school during the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal chess tournament.Steve eventually won the grade 11 division while Robert won the grade 8 title, helping lead the local schoo! to the team title.Watching the action is another WHS student, Matthew Taylor, who finished second in grade 8.Other WHS students who fared wel! included Sanjay Saxena, second in grade 11;

which is, lest council has forgotten: to serve the citizens and their community.One begs the question, too: Was the bylaw, in truth, intended to protect the \u201c\u2018participants\u2019\u2019 or the \u2018\u2018city\u2019*?And, of course, it is ever so delightful to have park attendants pouncing upon you like Stalin's spies, demanding you produce a Westmount recreation pass for their close scrutiny, even though you live across the street and have shown the same pass to the same attendant six - times in as many days! And if you refuse?If you refuse, my friend, they call upon the para-police who, believe it or not, come and remove you from that selfsame rink you once thought of with pride and warmth, the rink you taught your child to skate on, helped shovel, and felt belonged to you and your neighborhood.Well neighbor, that rink belongs no more, as perhaps we will belong no more, except as pawns for council, park attendants and para-police.But we let them get away with it, and as long as we do they'll continue and continue and continue until eventually we will arrive at a totally controlled society in which we will have to request permission before leaving home in the morning, stating the exact nature of our business! They take a little freedom at a time, until one day we all wake up and find that we have none left.We have to stop them! And we have to start now.We have to start organizing toward the next elections.We must make every effort to find and elect people who will have a genuine interest in serving us and our community, and who, above all, will give Westmount back to its people!

for Westmount in the next provincial election.It is quite true that Rick was out of the country for nearly four weeks as a result of arrangements and obligations undertaken before his entry into politics.Both before his departure and since his return, however, he has been extremely busy meeting groups and individuals, both from the Liberal Party and from Westmount.I have been present at three such meetings, and I have reason to believe that they have been very fruitful for exactly the reasons you outlined in your editorial.It is of course a somewhat ambiguous position to be a nominated candidate in a riding already represented by a member of the same party.I am sure that Rick French would be delighted, however, to accept any opportunities to meet Westmounters that were to be extended to him.J.M.G.Scott 324 Kensington avenue WESTMOUNT H3Z 2H3 Bus changes hurt Roslyn School pupils Sir: I am nine years old and go to Roslyn School.| have read about the change of bus routes.I

H3Z 1W7 Wife, child beaters should seek help A copy of the following letter has been sent to THE EXAMINER: An open letter to wife and child beaters: If you have an iota of intelligence, do you realize the physical and mental harm you are causing to your wife or child, not just at the present time but for the rest of their lives?Do you realize that they will despise you and, in the case of a male child if he later marries, he may inherit your cruelty and may sudjec: ls owp wife snd child to beatings?Is this something you want on your conscience until the day you die?If you are not willing to seek professional help to try to overcome your dangerous practices, then you are despicable cowards and deserve to be whipped after every time you beat your wife or child.That should eliminate the yellow streak running down your backs.You are not excused by saying that you were drunk or on drugs, because you are only showing your true selves whether you are drunk, drugged or sober.Moreover, your cruel actions are morally wrong and are contrary to the laws of a civilized society.You are, in other words, savages.Gerald Manning 6450 Monkland avenue MONTREAL H4B 1H3 Tie Wevtmaunt Examiner res Thirty-five Years Ago February 8, 1946 .\u2018\u2018Continuing his anti-tuberculosis campaign, Dr.J.J.Day, City of West- mount medical health officer, issued a statement yesterday urging all West- mount residents who hire domestic help to have their employees X-rayed at th.Victoria Hall clinic on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.Dr.Day informed THE EXAMINER of three cases among domestics where the disease is known to exist.Alarmed at the rise of tuberculosis in Montreal, Dr.Day and his staff are taking drastic steps to keep Westmount citizens as free as possible from the dreaded plague.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago February 3, 1956 \u2018Westmount city council has extended the one-way traffic restrictions on Victoria and Grosvenor avenues from the Boulevard to the north city limits.The City of Montreal is co-operating and has also designated the two streets from the Westmount boundary to Queen Mary road as one-way.Victoria avenue will now carry only northbound traffic between Sherbrooke and Queen Mary and Grosvenor avenue only southbound traffic between St.Catherine street and Queen Mary.In addition, approval was given to the removal of the one-way restriction on Westmount avenue, which had been instituted on a trial basis.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago February 3, 1966 \u201cAlmost before the embers and ashes from the disastrous St.Andrew's Church fire last summer were really cold, THE EXAMINER carried a big-type headline: \u2018St.Andrew's will rise again.\u2019 This week, the congregation voted 3-1 to confirm that carefully calculated prediction.The destroyed building seated slightly more than 1,100 persons but it is now believed that a building to seat about half this number will be more than adequate and can be constructed with the amount of fire insurance proceeds realized following the blaze.\u201d Five Years Ago February 5, 1976 \u201cDe Maisonneuve boulevard was permanently closed to traffic through West- mount Park by city council Monday night, at the same time as two new stop signs were approved to slow traffic on Côte St.Antoine road.City council closed four years of controversy and debate about de Maisonneuve with the approval of a by-law which now must be ratified by the Quebec Municipal Commission.The Côte St.Antoine stop signs at Metcalfe and Prince Albert avenues will seriously thwart the progress of through-traffic on the largely residential street.\u201d The says.Westmount Municipal Association Homeowner taxes The Dec.18 headline of THE EXAMINEK informed us that the \u2018\u20181981 budget hits homeowners.' The story went on to pro- ¢ vide details about how the homeowner, compared to the apartment dwellers and owners of commercial establishments, would be supporting the larger part of increased taxes.Although the provincial government's specially legislated tax relief (10 percent this year and five percent in 1982) is contributing something to a reduction of the gap, the overall result is still that homeowners bear the brunt.(And don't bother trying to do kitchen table calculations of how the provincial relief was applied to you.It was worked into your tax bill on the basis of a rather complex Westmount formula, the overall effect of which gives the private homeowner considerably less than a 10 percent benefit, largely because of the need to first charge all classes of property a higher rate to finance the homeowner credit.) If you are having trouble finding your bearings in today\u2019s municipal taxation, it is hardly surprising.The year 1979 was the year of municipal tax reform in Quebec.It has led to two principal changes.First, there has been change in the subject content of municipally based taxes.For instance, school taxes are no longer billed on a municipal basis; Montreal water tax, on the other hand, is no longer separately billed and can therefore no longer be identified by the taxpayer.Secondly, annual revaluation of property will from now on be guided by the objective that assessments reflect approximately 90 percent of current resale value.The immediate effect of this revision of assessment policy has been a sudden jump in residential taxes as compared to those in the apartment and commercial class, since price increases in these latter categories have lagged far behind those of the former.More attention needed While these changes can be explained and defended from various points of view, they probably mean that homeowners in a municipality such as West- mount, close to downtown and invariably the object of strong residential as distinct from commercial demand, will probably have to deal with continually rising taxes.The immediate effect, of course, is that in 1981, homeowner evaluation, and therefore homeowner taxes, increased a lot more than was the case for apartment and commercial.It is our view that the application of this new approach to taxation means that residents should pay increased attention to budgetary matters and make themselves heard in an organized way, not necessarily to complain (for most people probably would agree that West- mount is fortunate in its financial management, even though its freedom of movement, given the MUC structures is being limited), but rather to assist the politicians in sorting out what should be done.Three matters come particularly to mind: 1) Will the new tax regime change the nature of Westmount, over time?Will it have the effect of forcing in more commercial enterprises, thereby providing a more varied base for the tax load?2) What effect is the MUC having on Westmount's budget and financial administration?3) If taxes are bound to increase, are we satisfied that the appropriate emphasis is being given to the various services and activities?Shifting components Returning to the matter of the shifting components of the tax bill, the following information might be useful in comparing 1980 and 1981 tax bills: a) Until 1979, the school tax, although separately billed, was part of the municipal tax system.Since 1980, only the \u2018'inadmissible\u201d schoo! costs, such as for certain extracurricular activities, are included in a municipal bill.(In this respect, 1980 and 1981 do not differ.) b) Until this year, water tax was billed separately by the City of Montreal.This year, Westmount's bulk water payment to Montreal is not reflected as a separate item on your bill, but it works out to an average of about 14 mills.Applied to the considerably increased property values on the residential side, this rate in most cases results in significant water cost increase for homeowners.The WMA is pleased that Ald.Alwyn Lloyd, commissioner of finance, has accepted an invitation to talk to a meeting of the WMA directors on Feb.10 in the Westmount Children's Library at 7:30 pm.You are welcome to attend.our M.P.Following my meeting with the West- mount Rotary Club a week ago, I did a whirlwind tour of Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Victoria, meeting with business interests.Liberal associations, the treasurer and the minister of intergovernmental affairs of the Alberta government, the minister of finance of British Columbia, and the municipal council of Fort McMurray.I thought my schedule was full enough for two days out West.Then on Friday afternoon, Ottawa called me to advise that the Hon.John Roberts was grounded in London and ask if I would speak to the mid-winter session of the Alberta Bar Association Saturday noon on the constitution.The lawyers were 900 Hon.Donald J.Johnston Says.Western whirlwind strong and on the whole, not the most sympathetic audience I have addressed.(It was a challenging event but I emerged physically intact).But the highlight of my tour was a visit to the Syncrude tar sands development at Fort McMurray.The magnitude of the project and the future of the tar sands developments and their importance to the economy of Canada take on a new perspective when one sees the operation first hand.Fort McMurray is exploding with growth and optimism and with good reason.Yet the benefits of the tar sand projects are as important to the east as to the west and they must move forward as a matter of national priority.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 5, 1981 -

the federul government, seeking out à new controller-general and auditor-geners] establish- guidelines for the Official Languages Act, regulatory agencies and programs, and taking a personal interest in wage settlements with some of the 250,000 employees for whom he is responsible.\u201cI don\u2019 think other tre: sury board presidents have been as involved in union negotiations as I have,\u201d he said, pointing out that \u201cwage settlements can have a domino effect on salary scales all across Canada.Mr.Johnston set a personal goal of last December to complete the government's reply to the Lambert Commission report on fiscal reform, which made recommend-\u2018\u2018ons for budgeting and financial management.Already.he said.many of the recommendations now are in place, including a system of \u2018\u2018top-down discipline\u2019\u2019 whereby the ministers establish budget priorities for their departments, rather than leaving that responsibility to civil servants.The final report missed his deadline by several weeks, Mr.Johnston admitted, but it is now almost ready to place before Parliament.Two more reports Beyond this, he is hoping by March 31 to have two more reports ready: one on the d'Avignon Commission recommendations concerning personnel management, the other on crown corporations legislation.The three briefs are not specifically the responsibility of the treasury board president.but are special assigniments given to him by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau last year.Mr.Johnston also has responsibility for regulatory reform.and has hired Wendy Porteous to compile an overall study of the subject.He hopes to be able to determine where regulations conflict or duplicate, and whether there can be a substantial reduction in the total amount of government regulation.He is also working on the general area of cost overruns in government contracts, which are a serious budgetary problem, though, \u2018\u2018Believe it or not,\u2019 he told the Rotarians, \u201cthere are some projects which come in under budget.\" Overall, he said, he is very conscious of the need for a \u201cvalue for dollar\u201d system of control, including the reduction of the size of the civil service, and for \u201c*fine tuning the expenditure management system.\u201d He exhibited a strong consciousness of the source of the millions of doilars for which ne is responsible, referring to civil servants\u2019 employers, for example, ns \u2018all of us, the taxpayers of Cunadu.\u201d In response to a question, Mr.Johnston said the government kad control over only 17 percent of the budget, und thus was .nm- ited in its ability to reduce annual spending.He told another Rotarian that civil servants should not be penalized because of the size of the deficit.\u201cShould public servant.pay the price ot poiitical decisions?\" he asked.On the loca: front, Mr.Joa ston pointed out that the Quebec MPs have agreed to spend more time working on the economic development of Quebec and, specially, Montreal.This included the announcement two weeks ago (Tue Ex.AMINER, Jun.22) of federal tunas to help clean up and develup the Lachine Canal as « recroationul area.The St.Menri-Westm.rint MP also urged Rotarians to holy one sure the election of Richard French in the next provincial elections, and said his constituency office would lend support both to him and to Liberal candidate Roma Hains in S:.Henri.Initially there was great criu- cism of merging St.Henri and Westmount into a single riding, Mr.Johnston recalled, but the blending of two socioculturally different groups in the same constituency \u2018\u2018is a success to date,\u201d he said.Mr.Johnston was introduced to the club membership by T Philip Everson and thanked by John Sancton Two visiting Ro- tarians, both from the Montreal area, and four guests helped swell the numbers at the luncheon.Lowest price not that low Real estate buffs might have become a bit nostalgic last week when they
