[" © Westmounters enjoy their early taste of spring The play area in Westmount Park was a popular attractide?Juke 15-degree temperatures that offered an early taste of aR r, i Sales of offer promise lots of new homes By ANDY DODGE SALES of land lots, small apartment buildings and triplexes highlighted the Westmount realty transfer registrations in December, offering the promise of more development and speculation in 1981 as prices continue moving up.Residential transfers were relatively light in comparison with earlier months, involving mainly less expensive one- and two-family dwellings, but the sales figures showed no sign of a letup in the demand-push on resale prices.Permit issued to Tourville Tourville Realties received a Westmount building permit Tuesday morning, giving the company the go-ahead to start work on the $1,200,000 office- condominium building it has planned for Sherbrooke street east of Greene avenue (see sketch Jan.29).There are indications construction might not start for a matter of weeks, but Tourville officials refused to announce a starting date.Volume of residential sales dropped to 21 in December, the lowest level since May, but prices remained at the markup \u2018plateau\u2019 of November, roughly two and a half times the 1980 Montreal Urban Community valuation.This means that the one- or two-family dwelling of average valuation was selling for more than $190,000, based on the statistics of both November and December.Of more importance for the future, perhaps, was the sale of land lots in the upper reaches of Westmount, on Bellevue avenue, Sunnyside avenue, Summit Circle, and one more behind the \u2018\u2018Braemar\u2019 mansion, be- Ce-tinned on page 16 = ater od ene enjoyed the Swarms of residents took to Westmount parks over the weekend, taking advantage of the record mild temperatures which induced earlier-than- usual spring fever.The fine weather which encouraged outdoor activity and resumption of field sports, however, did cause some problems.Public safety officers were kept busy trying to spare the still- wet playing fields from as much damage as possible.The playing field at West- mount Athletic Grounds was damaged by premature activity despite two large signs posted by the recreation department, while in Westmount Park eager sports fans tore into the top dressing and seeding done last fall.\u201cIt\u2019s a shame they wouldn't keep off it,\u201d\u2019 commented Public Security Unit Dir.Sidney Ash- ford.\u201cIt\u2019s all chewed up.\u201d Recreation officials said they might have to consider some sort of protection for the fields, such as snowfencing, should the mild weather continue.The abnormal weather took everyone by surprise, and although citizens insisted on walking across the fields and even attempting games of soccer \u2018our fields are just not ready for it,\u201d said John Garland, superintendent of parks * and recreation.This was the earliest he had seen the snow leave the fields, he said, and with some frost still in the ground people were sinking up to eight inches in mud in some places, he said.\u201cI'm waiting for telephone calls asking that the

By LAUREEN SWEENEY Westmount\u2019's summit area residents could face another summer of significant tour bus traffic now that the Montreal Urban Community Transportation Commission (MUCTC) has entered the sightseeing business, taking over the Gray Line franchise in its expropriation of Métropolitain Provincial (1967) Inc.Despite a recent court ruling which upheld the city\u2019s by-law banning buses from certain access roads on the mountain, the Gray Line buses would now proceed on prohibited streets using MUCTC rights of passage.This was confirmed by MUCTC chairman Lawrence Hanigan, who told THE EXAMINER the commission intends to operate the regular Gray Line tours to Westmount and is already doing so twice a day on a reduced winter schedule.This Another would increase in June, he said.\u2018*We'll stop them,\u2019 said Mayor MacCallum when asked if the city would challenge the sightseeing buses using these special rights.He was not aware, he said, that the MUCTC was at present sending Gray Line buses to the area.The city, he explained, had not been enforcing the by-law against MUCTC charter buses because of certain constitutive rights and prerogatives enjoyed by the commission in its role as provider of public transportation.The MUCTC buses last summer made up only a small portion of the total number of buses touring the area, but Gray Line and the MUCTC together accounted for about 35 to 40 percent of the bus traffic, according to results of a city survey.Test case riding Late last month it appeared most of the buses had been effectively stopped by the West-

mannequins The Rotary Club of West- mount has purchased two \u2018\u2019Resusci-Anne\u2019\u2019 mannequins for use in demonstrating and practising basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, with the hope that they can be used by qualified instructors in and around the community.Dr.Charles Pierce announced the purchase at last Wednesday's regular Rotary luncheon and brought one of the mannequins for Rotarians to view.The club, which is in the process of developing a community course in conjunction with the Westmount Fire Brigade, is willing for the time being to lend out the female likenesses, which contain equipment to test the effectiveness of CPR techniques.At present, reports Dr.Pierce, one is being used by the firemen and another by staff at St.Mary's Hospital, since both groups have had \u2018\u2018breakdowns\u2019\u2019 in their own mannequins.Arrangements for using the \u2018Resusci-Annes\u2019\u2019 can be made by contacting the Westmount Rotary, 935-3344, on weekday mornings.WHS students found with drug Local MUC police report their crackdown on teenagers seen hanging around streets during school hours has paid off, noting a simultaneous decrease in the rash of break and entry reports in the St.Henri area last week.Two students of Westmount High School picked up last Wednesday at 9:50 am at Met- calfe avenue were found to be in possession of hashish which was being sold to students at the school, police allege.The two, who are brothers police said, are 16 and 19 years old and were referred to the drug squad.HOURS: 8:30 am - 7 pm daily 8:30 am - 6 pm Saturday LEARNING ABOUT RESTORATION: A lot of Westmounters appear to be interested in their homes, specially how they were built and how they can be repaired, judging from the large turnout Monday evening at a res-* toration workshop sponsored by the Westmount Historical Association.Some 80 persons jammed the children's library to hear architects Michael Fish, lower photo, Mark London and Peter Rose answer a variety of questions.Using blackboard diagrams, the architects warned against sandblasting, extolled the virtues of slate roofs and discussed in- terior and exterior mouldings, among other subjects.\u2018Name change\u2019 for city at council on Monday Westmount aldermen intend to leave the council chambers at city hall Monday evening representing a different municipality than the one they presided over when they arrived.Westmount is to have a name change.No, it won't be to \u2018\u2018Ouest- mont.\u201d Its just that \u2018\u2018La Cité de West- mount\u201d is going to become \u2018\u2018La Ville de Westmount.\u201d When the \u201cTown of West- mount\u2019 became the \u2018City of Westmount\u2019 in 1908, its French title was transformed from \u2018ville to \u2018\u2018cité,\u201d and French linguists differentiated between those terms basically in the same way the English did.Since then, however, usage has changed and Quebec has decided that any municipality larger than a \u201cvillage\u201d should be a \u201cville.\u201d Monday's council session, scheduled to start at 8 pm, will also feature approval of five loan by-laws to carry out major capital projects this year.The loans to be authorized will allow for improvements to the artificial ice rink and West- mount Public Library, a continuation of the city's long-de- layed street relighting program, the purchase of a dump site, and road and sidewalk improvements and reconstruction this summer.New traffic and parking regulations also are expected, as is a notice of motion for amendments to the city dog by-law, but city officials did not specify their nature.Redivision of the property at 4026 Dorchester boulevard will be considered to allow for construction of townhouses within the burned-out rooming house at the corner of Weredale park.Other city business involves approval of purchases and a report on the opening of tenders for new power transformers.Coins taken from machines Laundry machines in two apartment buildings were hit by thieves during the past week, police report, yielding an undetermined amount of coin.A washing machine was broken into a Redfern apartment building Thursday and a dryer was hit overnight Saturday in a building on Sherbrooke street.Going somewhere for holidays?Garda Security Services .will look after your

It always has been a source of wonderment, for example, why the new line coming up from downtown via St.Henri was not routed so as to provide access in the busy Victoria-Sherbrooke business area.Instead, the nearest station for western Westmount was placed on de Maison- neuve boulevard at de Vendôme avenue in a relatively unpopulated and untrafficked area of Notre Dame de Grâce.And in that planning (?) process it was moved west, away from an earlier site which had direct access to the platforms of the Westmount CP Rail station\u2014 which surely would have been a boon in the now-agreed integration of Métro and rail services.We have heard the excuse for that shift: that it resulted in saving the cost of one station in N.D.G.Perhaps this is so.The fact remains that in all this transportation hassle Westmount is to enjoy little direct benefit from Métro service, except via connecting bus lines.There is little to be done about it now; the digging and building is finished.All we can do is pay our share of the costs\u2014and be grateful with Mayor Mac- Callum that Montreal is, for the present anyway, seeing reason with the suburban mayors.A positive action POSITIVE Action, the constructive criticism movement co-chaired by Westmounters Mr.Alex Paterson, QC, and Prof.Storrs McCall, has moved into yet another area where the interests of the English language population well can use its services in achieving a consensus and thereby seek to persuade the government at Quebec what may be appropriate courses of policy and action.This time it is in the area of social services.To that end, Positive Action sponsored a symposium last Saturday at McGill's Faculty Club which attracted 125 representatives of various organizations and institutions.The meeting resulted in the formation of a \u2018Joint Council on Social Policy and Social Services.\u201d Mr.Paterson, in his opening address, rightly stated that social problems have cultural and linguistic dimensions, often overlooked in government\u2019s preoccupation with economic and organizational factors.It is a theme which long has been a favorite of THE EXAMINER, because Westmount has a tradition of volunteer effort in the social field and now is the headquarters for the omnibus para-public body, Ville Marie Social Service Centre, which largely has supplanted those private efforts.Apart from the less personal nature of Ville Marie's professional work, a serious result of government involvement has been the attempt to force the agency's efforts into unnatural molds of uniformity and overlay the whole with ever-increasing form-filling and other kinds of bureaucratic red tape having little to do with the actual delivery of care to those who need it.Some of these ministerial demands, such as attempting to create geographical rather than ethnic and linguistic areas of responsibility, have been fought off to some degree.But while fighting the \u201cexperts\u201d much energy and talent has been diverted from the primary purpose of service to clients.If Positive Action\u2019's move to co-ordinate the English-language community's perceptions of its own needs can convince the government that uniformity is not desirable or effective, it will have performed a great service.In the process, it may sensitize citizens at large to the simple but often forgotten fact that it is through its institu- tions\u2014hospitals, schools, churches, volunteer organizations of all sorts and, perhaps above all, its social service agencies\u2014that a people finds its identification.Tax bill A perfect example of why the provincial government should keep its nose out of purely municipal matters has been provided by the snafu over city tax bills.Quebec produced some fiscal reform legislation in 1979, called Bill 57, which laid out in great detail how local officials were to do things\u2014this as if the provincials had a monopoly on knowledge.Not satisfied to let cities and towns decide for themselves how and when they should collect taxes from their own citizens, the new law spelled it out in great detail.Nor did it help when as recent as last December they amended and embellished the rules with Bill 12.Indeed, the new batch served only to create more confusion.\u2018 Carefully spelled out from the Ancient Capital is how local tax bills are to be split into two parts, payable Jan.31 and July 1.(Why, for instance, the last HAVE you noticed that Canada post office people have stopped boasting that such-and-such a percentage (usually something like 98.5) of the mails get delivered the day after posting?The probable reason is that an embarrassingly small proportion of the mail goes anywhere with an alacrity of which any postman, from minister to clerk, could be proud.It seems almost everyone has his or her horror stories.We have a small one.Readers will have .noted that their editor recently spent another vacation in Montserrat.Among bits of intelligence learned there was that Canada post office deems it sufficient to dump all mail for the eastern Caribbean together unsorted and ship it down to Antigua twice a week via Air Canada.For this laziness, postal authorities there now retaliate and, instead of sending Canadian mail north by the same direct route to Toronto, they despatch it to Puerto Rico, thence it finds its way through the U.S.postal system to Canada.Result is that vacationers wishing to send letters and postcards home to Canada now routinely hand it to folks going home, to mail in Toronto.We returned with a flight bag looking like a letter carrier\u2019s.Our real point is that halfway through our holiday we wrote a card to THE EXAMINER staff and sent it courtesy of a returning Toronto- nian.He faithfully mailed it in the Queen City, according to the postmark, on Feb.9.It reached our Hillside avenue offices just 10 days later\u2014last Thursday, Feb.19! .* * * MURRAY Marmor, a keen member of The Rotary Club of Westmount, is prime mover of a fund raising project likely to cause a good deal of excitement among art lovers and collectors, not only locally but perhaps even in other cities.The date has yet to be set, but expected to be in May or early June, for a top-quality art auction.Already, by word-of-mouth only, he has lined up a Goodridge Roberts pain- As we noted last week, in commenting on the decline of English instruction at Roslyn School, ho longer is it the French language and culture of Quebec that is threatened, from within or without.English is clearly faced with eclipse here, even though the Anglophone population still comprises an important component of Quebec society.We say, more power to Positive Action and congratulations to it for seeing to the lauñching of this new council.May both thrive, not anti-anything but in a constructive sense for the benefit not only of the English community but for the corporate health of Quebec.foul-up day of a month for the first instalment and the first day of another for the second?) As readers will have found on our front page last week, and some citizens at city hall to their sorrow, some pretty involved provisions were hidden in the chapters and verses regarding interest payable when the first instalment is late.We credit \u2018our Westmount city hall officials with a good deal more savvy than they think we do.But even they were unable to discern exactly what the law said and meant.Their first interpretation has been succeeded by another and, it seems, a lot of additional interest collected in good faith now must be refunded.Can it really be that there are factotums in Quebec who do not believe municipal administrations are capable of so key a duty as collecting taxes?ting with a reserve price of $10,000 and six Joseph Oppenheimer watercolors, with other offerings in the wings.The plan is quite simple: Rotary will get any amount realized in the auction in excess of the requested or agreed price, which goes to the owner of the work.Mr.Marmor, with knowledge of such matters, believes there always are individuals or firms with good art in their possession who, for a variety of reasons, are ready to part with it and should be additionally pleased if, in the course of its disposal, a good cause may benefit.Persons with works with which they may have become bored, whose tastes have changed, who have too much art around for available space, who may wish simply to liquidate all or part of a collection, are invited by Mr.Marmor to contact him through the Westmount Rotary office at 935-3344 (mornings only).* * * THOSE who believe that the provincial premiers have failed to rise above parochialism and self-interest in the constitution debate and those who believe that the federal government speaks for Canada (whatever its electoral composition geographically) may draw sound footing midst the confusion from words of our first prime minister, Sir John À.Macdonald, during the confederation debates, quoted last week in Toronto by Hon.James Fleming, Ottawa's multiculturalism minister: \u201cThe United States began at the wrong end.They declared by their constitution that each state was a sovereignty in itself.Here we have adopted a different system.We have strengthened the general government.We have given the general legislature all the great subjects of legislation .all the powers which are incident to sovereignty.\u2019 Mr.Fleming pointed out that the system was based on the principle of monarchy, under which we still govern ourselves.Authority flowed from top to bottom, from London to Ottawa to the provinces, not the other way around.0.é Ad Don\u2019t contract out our firefighting Sir: Re article, U.S.firm\u2019s recommendation: Contract firefighting suggested by study (EXAMINER, Jan.8).I

Westmount H3Z 1E2 It is with considerable dismay and amazement that I have very recently received from the City of Westmount: 1) a municipal transfer duties bill to be paid on February 28, 1981; 2) a statement of municipal taxes for the whole year payable on February 27, 1981, including a fine of $21.52.This is a most extraordinary procedure since the first tax bill was not issued in my name, but in the name of the previous owner of the property! I have been informed by city hall officials that I am responsible for the first bill, even if it was not issued in my name.I must confess that, for the first time in my life, I am held responsible for a bill issued to somebody else! Further enquiries of city hall officials revealed that a legal challenge on my part would serve no purpose at all, since the law is written in such a way that I would automatically lose my case.You will find enclosed the relevant documentation.May I respectfully suggest that this most astonishing procedure be called \u201cThe City of Westmount welcome tax to new residents.\u201d Yours sincerely, Alain Raoult, PhD.486 Argyle avenue WESTMOUNT H3Y 3B4 Tragic drama awards for inquiry appearances Sir: On the front page of The Gazette the day after its executives testified before the Kent'Côémmission (sans Kent, who was off.in Halifax looking after his The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 26, 1981 - § SYS.THIS week marks the tabling by me of the government's estimates for 1981-82.They will no doubt be compared with the recently announced budget cuts and tax cuts of President Reagan.I hope he is successful and that the tax savings are reinvested in the productive sectors as the \u201csupply side\u2019\u2019 economists predict.The Canadian experience has not proven that to be the case.Readers probably do not appreciate that we have enjoyed a cut in personal taxes every year since 1974 through indexation of brackets and exemptions.The impact of that provision on fed- Hon.Donald J.Johnston Estimates week eral revenues in 1981-82 is 9 billion dollars.That would go a long way to eliminating the deficit! Because it is built into the system itself, indexation is now taken for granted.Politically, it is much better to announce a tax cut of an equivalent amount each year \u2014 at least, that is what our U.S.colleagues told us.Per- \u2018haps a \u2018\u2018tax cut\u2019 as such will focus more public attention on the purpose of the cut, i.e., re-investment, which indexation has not done.; I will be discussing further specific aspects of our estimates next week.THOUGH the weeks are winding down, letters and notes still continue to flow across my desk.The requests range from a businessman seeking government aid to a senior citizen looking for a state subsidized apartment.From a group hoping that financial help is available for extended bus tours to school children wanting answers to complete a homework assignment.From endless government agencies\u2019 monthly publications (do you know that every member receives a provincial breakdown of the past month's weather every four weeks?) to a plea from a taxi driver who has hit the magic age of 70 to assist him in his fight against a gigantic bureaucracy gone wild.At times the letters are amusing.I've received poems and cartoons, Xerox copies of clandestine office material and questionable office edicts, unsolicited tickets to balls and hockey games, tons of requests for prizes to give away at card games and to purchase ads in year books and high school annuals and, of course, the inevitable letters of complaint.other interests) there were photos of two Academy Award nominees, Robert de Niro and John Hurt.But no photos of Robert McConnell and Mark Harrison, publisher and editor respectively, who surely rated mention as best actors \u2014 and certainly were the best supporting actors in anything reported in that day's Gazette.True, neither was a raging bull and certainly neither seemed to be an elephant man, which no doubt was-a comfort to the royal commissioners who have been described as pussycats; but the tears of sorrow that flowed at the hearing over the death of The Montreal Star could not have been generated by your average performer.Everyone was sad.The transcript will prove this.Harrison is on record as saying, \u201cMontreal is poorer because of the demise of The Montreal Star.\u201d And Mc- Connell: \u2018I consider The Star's closing a classic tragedy.\" Observers in the West- mount Room of the Hotel Bonaventure thought they had been transported to D.A.Collins\" funeral home tr N:D.G: Cer George Springate says.Letter litter Most of these last arrive unsigned.Those that are signed are acted upon.The unsigned ones end up in the wastebasket, unread.This week I received two letters from a Toronto-based firm that specializes in school tours.I was informed that the students from Roslyn School would be in Quebec City in May and would I greet them.I am somewhat worried if the children ever will make it to Quebec.If the bus drivers are as slow in geography as the secretary who typed up the request sheet, I am convinced that the former never will find the school to begin the morning trip.And, you can forget about their chances of locating Quebec City.On one sheet Roslyn School was listed as being in Westmount, Ontario.The other sheet had the school in Toronto, Ontario.Letters that cross a member's desk also can run hot and cold.I received a proposal in marriage one day last year.Two days later a note suggested that the world would be a better place if I dropped dead.Oh, well, you can\u2019t please everybody all the time.HE tainly the atmosphere was the same \u2014 though there were no candles.Things got even gloomier when Harrison, thrown into the role of bookkeeper, which should make him eligible for nomination in another category, told the credulous commissioners that The Gazette's editorial budget had more than doubled since The Star went on strike\u2014from $3 to $7 million.This might silence those Gazette subscribers who felt that they had been overcharged when the price per copy was increased by 66 and two-thirds percent barely a year after The Star disappeared.Testimony indicated that advertising rates have been comparatively stable; so the merchants of Montreal, who made the ultimate decision on the fate of The Star, must wait awhile for the opportunity to underwrite further The Gazette's quest for excellence.If there was any suggestion at the hearings that The Gazette actually profited from the terrible events that upset its executives so profoundly, there was Continued on next page \u2019 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 26, 1981 Organizes others\u2019 By-FOAN CAPREOL FREELANCE journalist Donna Gabel- ine is an organizer par excellence who is making a business of organizing other people's lives.The former \u2018\u2018People\u2019 editor of The Gazette has hooked up with partner Lynda Trenholme, a public relations officer for McDonald's, to form a company with the intriguing title To The Rescue! or, in French, Au Secours! \u201cIt is a complete departure from what I did at the newspaper but not a complete departure from what I've done all my life,\u201d said Miss Gabeline.\u2018We run people\u2019s lives.When I say that at cocktail parties I get a stunned reaction.The business is basically the rent-a-wife concept which is growing rapidly in the United States.What we do is all the things that busy working men and women don\u2019t have time to do for themselves.\u201c\u201cWe do shopping for groceries to gifts, clothes, things for the house.We do errands.We plan parties from beginning to end.We walk dogs.We organize garage sales, people\u2019s houses from top to bottom \u2014 closets, cupboards, filing systems, libraries and recipe files.\u201cI love doing that because I'm a born organizer.Life is just much simpler if you have a place for everything and You Continued from no mention of it in the fine and fair full page that the paper devoted to testimony of the previous day.Despite enormous new outiays and no doubt newsprint \u2014 and even ink \u2014 there was no indication that the paper had gained financially.One can only assume that in addition to scholarships, the Southam Company has other, quiet ways of spreading its munificence.(Incidentally, there is evidence that The Gazette is extremely self-conscious about its balance sheet: The longest period of silence experienced by CJAD in recent years, aside from the time it was hit by lightning, occurred during a Neil McKenty phone-in when an accommodating Gazette executive was asked what the paper was doing with all its profits now that all the money was going into one till.The devastating response \u2014 and I! must admit I heard this second hand \u2014 was: \u201cWhat profits?\u201d CJAD \u2014 and McKenty \u2014 survived the chill.) The Gazette's performance might have been assured of an Oscar if the cast had not been limited to two.A third man might have made the difference.However, Southam has never been noted for sending three men to do a job when two might do.And the commissioners have been rather mean with their subpoenas.A Westmounter\u2019s thesis/ brief The existence of \u2018\u2019a third man\u201d was made known by Westmount's own Sara Scott whose superb, indeed brilliant, thesis for her master's at the University of Illinois School of Journalism \u2014 obviously was the basis of some of the commission counsel's questioning.She had submitted her thesis as a brief for the commission.It was titled simply **The Demise of The Montreal Star\u201d \u2014 and it might well be the definitive work on the subject since anyone close to the story is either too ashamed or too depressed to dwell on it.Actually, the third man is just an ordinary fellow \u2014 not a mysterious character at all.He's Bobby Williams, president of Local 41 of the Pressman\u2019s Union.Or at least he was until the strike he called led, eventually, to the death of The Star and brought him to a management position at The Gazette.(Southam has always been quick to recognize talent.) Bobby Williams probably couldn't get the time off to testify \u2014 it was an awkward hour for a press room superintendent whose mighty machines were straining to produce a 96-page Gazette, everything in its place, as grandmother used to say.You don't have to spend half your life looking for a hair brush.\u201cWe go to auctions and bid on items for people if they can\u2019t be there.We do not babysit or clean house but, if a client has hired us to do a party for them, we'll provide a cleaning lady as part of the service.In other words, we are not a domestic service in the sense of duplicating domestic services already available.\u201d The dynamic Miss Gabeline is 32, single and five-foot-six.She has blue- green eyes, dark blonde hair and a mesmerizing, dimpled smile.The partners started their business part-time in September 1977 and incorporated it in June 1980 when it appeared to be a success.One of their most interesting parties was a costume affair for a client's husband's 40th birthday party.\u201cThe theme was fantasy,\u201d said Miss Gabeline.\u201cEveryone came as their own fantasy.The guest of honor came as Shogun, the, Japanese warlord.His wife was a geisha girl.That was a fun party.Everyone got into the spirit of the thing.An artist did a souvenir drawing of each guest.\u201d Miss Gabeline is no slouch at throwing a party.She organized The Gazette\u2019s bicentennial party in 1978 for 1,500 guests who arrived in 18th century costumes.say previous page not counting inserts.(The royal commissioners had been able to arrange time off \u2014 by subpoena \u2014 for Roy Megarry of The Globe and Mail.But he was only a publisher.) According to Miss Scott, Bobby Williams presides over a press room that is six men short of the minimum crew he demanded when he was bargaining as a union boss.He accepts his lot philosophically.Overall, one must concede that The Gazette, as in everyday life, was without competition at the hearings.There was not a single submission from anyone at any level of The Star.And the commission didn't bother subpoenaing anyone, either.Life is for the living.On the opening day The Star was \u2018\u2018represented\u2019 by two pensioners, at least one of whom had heard the commission served good coffee.Also conspicuous by its absence was THE EXAMINER which displayed an early interest (The press inquiry, Dec.11).Perhaps THE EXAMINER's editors were familiar with the script \u2014 or perhaps they had tickets to a better show.Edward W.Barrett 250 Kensington avenue WESTMOUNT H3Z 2G8 Editor's note: EXAMINER people were too busy getting out a live newspaper to attend this wake, which paid no regard to the timing exigencies of weekly publishing.Indeed, the entire inquiry up- pears to measure the health of Canadian journalism by the demise or alleged ill health of dailies, as if they were the extent of the otherwise robust Canadian press.Even The Gazette knows better: see its full-page feature (Sat., Feb.21, page 23).\u201cIt's all good news for weekly papers.\u201d Newmarket High School seeking out its alumni Sir: On July 3, 4, 5, 1981, Newmarket High School in Newmarket, Ontario, will be holding a reunion to celebrate its 110th year.Every effort has been made to contact former staff and students.If you wish to be involved in our reunion and have not been contacted, please write in care of the Newmarket High School Reunion Committee, 329 Prospect street, New- market, Ont.L3Y 2V5.Lynne Mertens Reunion Chairperson 329 Prospect street NEWMARKET ON L3Y 3V5 CRT Donna Gabeline The governor-general came at Donna's invitation.One client, a single, divorced man, didn\u2019t have time to fix up his house so hired the partners.\u2018\u2018We bought furniture, plants, appliances, dishes, cutlery, wallpaper, light fixtures,\u201d said Miss Gabeline, \u2018\u201cWe got someone to fix his roof.Someone to landscape the front yard.Someone to tune the piano.We did such a good job that the client \u2014 stockbroker Maurice Moors \u2014 married my partner.\u201d To The Rescue!

By VICKY COMPTON Westmount High School's winter carnival week is almost at an end but most students will retain happy memories of it for years to come.The customary royalty elections were held last Thursday, but students had to wait until Monday to find out the names of this year\u2019s winners.Grade 11 students elected Dean Smith as the 1981 WHS winter carnival king and Vicky Compton as queen.In grade 10 voting, the winning prince and princess were Robert Dorey and Pippa Dom- ville.Lord Compton McLean and Lady Susan Rohaly were honored by grade 9 and in grade 8 Seth Miller and Christina Dile were chosen duke and duchess.Finally, Mike Raskelis and Sharda Singh were elected page and pagette in grade 7.These 10 students will be spotlighted tomorrow night at the carnival dance, following their coronation.Westmount High's first \u2018\u2018rent- a-student\u2019 auction was held Monday at lunchtime.Jeffrey Schwartz organized this event, in which about 35 brave people sold themselves as servants to the friend (or enemy) who made the highest bid.On Monday night, WHS was visited by hypnotist Patrick MeGuire.This was the first time he had visited the school and the evening proved to be fascinating.Male \u2018beauty queen\u2019 The second annual Male Beauty Contest took place Tuesday after school.Though all of the contestants were dazzlingly beautiful, brilliant and talented, only one could win and the panel of judges, including April Boykin and Margot Wright, decided on Marc \u2018\u2018Minnie\u201d Gillett as the 1981 camival \u201cbeauty queen.\u201d A

reminiscing about the days when \u2018\u2018exotics\u201d were held in higher regard.She is a woman who is proud of what she has done and is doing and copes with the hardships in life by giving a little more love to those important in her life.This segment is also an amusing lesson on the different types of stripping that .came into being largely because of different laws dictating the degree of undress and movement allowed.Ms.Perry's portrayal of the Shakespeare teacher in an American English classroom gets the most chuckles from the audience.Coming right after the stripper, a brilliant juxtaposition, this frumpy woman is the kind of inspired professor of which anyone who went to college had at least one.She is perhaps the most passionate Official Passport photos Portraits Reunions,

with her devotion to Shakespeare and love of his language and style.She knows him as intimately as anyone several hundred years removed can.The \u2018\u2018modern acting\u2019\u2019 segment is a fine spoof of the wooden acting prevalent in many older films and of the things that were important for an actress to know to get ahead in the business.The class is given by Josephine Dillon Gable, the woman who taught Clark Gable how to act and eventually married him.She does not let her class forget this.Wants to see passion In \u201cCon Amore,\u201d the ballet teacher, not unlike the stripper, longs for the good old days but she is happy in what she does and delights in discovering a new talent.She scolds her class with similes that would do a drill sergeant proud.Technique is all very well, but she wants to see passion in their dancing.\u201cBetty Bruce is Dead\u2019 is Ms.Perry\u2019s own passionate tribute to the art of tap dancing.Not only does she give us a brief: lesson on the history of this dance but she taps up a storm.\u2018\u2018Passionate Ladies\u2019 lies somewhere between theatre and cabaret, for those of us who require labels, and like any one- person show it has certain weaknesses.The most obvious is that there is a certain sameness to the treatment and characterization of each persona.Make no mistake, however, this is a sincere and professional piece of entertainment.1 just have certain reservations about one-person shows.The best I've seen is Jan Kudelka\u2019s \u2018\u201cCireus Gothic\u201d and it will be a while before that one is topped.Ms.Perry's characters are likeable because of their sincerity and she doesn\u2019t belittle their foibles.She seems to have a great respect for those who are passionately devoted to their art.She shows us that it is this element that separates craft and skill from art.While she may poke gentle fun at the stripper, Ms.Perry never implies that stripping cannot be an art if one believes passionately in it.And it is delightful to realize that the Shakespearean teacher, given different physical attributes, would have made a terrific stripper.\u2018\u2018Passionate Ladies\u2019

it was sold along with a triplex at 4212 de Maisonneuve boulevard to a company named \u201895032 Canada Ltée,\u201d which THE Ex.AMINER has been told represents a new landlord.Triplexes bought Triplexes which changed hands in December include the three hard-to-sell properties at 4821-33 St.Catherine street, across from Westmount Station near Victoria avenue.They were purchased by two of the principals involved in the sale of 4636-40 St.Catherine, east of Lansdowne avenue near Blenheim Place.Also sold was a triplex at 3249-53 St.Antoine street.In fact, the St.Antoine frontage might be attracting investor interest now that the St.Henri Métro station has opened nearby.The month's lowest- priced sale involved a double- building at 3101-7 St.Antoine which went for $22,000 and appears ripe for improvement.Two other St.Antoine sales were registered in September.Another noteworthy non-resi- dential sale in December was that of the multi-building complex on the northwest corner of Greene avenue and St.Catherine street, which had been sold by its long-time owners, 4462 Sherbrooke lowest residential, $70,000 lowest residential markup, 48.3% WESTMOUNT Mid-level, Roslyn School area, between two parks, detached older brick cottage, 42 bedrooms, double lot, detached two-car garage, 3-car driveway.Modern kitchen, refinished fireplace, monitored burglar alarm, new balconies, large garden.New exclusive.$267,000.Delice Nice 332-1047, 735-2281 Montréal Trust, Brokers cave A 459 Lansdow highest residential markup, 209.8% the de Bellefeuille family, last February.Now, having lost some tenants and gained others, it has been purchased by a Montreal-based investor.Daniel Rosenthal, the new owner, said he intends to preserve and make \u2018\u2018substantial\u201d improvements to the buildings.Another transfer of interest was the first resale of a condominium in Westmount\u2019s history, at 399 Clarke avenue.Earlier in the year the remaining units in Westmount\u2019s first condominium apartment building were sold by the developer, but the December sale of Apt.2A was the first from one private party to another.Seasonal volume dip The regular residential home market experienced a normal seasonal dip in volume during the holiday month, and there were none of the $250,000-plus prices which have been featured in real estate advertising during January and February this year.The market showed itself to be strong, however, in terms of markups of prices over valuation.Only one house, at 4462 Sherbrooke street, sold for less than double its tax valuation; its price of $70,000 was also the lowest residential price of the month.The Sherbrooke street sale was one of only two December sales out of 11 recorded prices lower than $100,000, and one of five out of 30 in the last two months of 1980.Those facts, along with an examination of recent asking prices, indicate that the under-$100,000 West- mount home is becoming an endangered species.The top recorded price in December was $245,000, which had been the advertised asking price for 3656 The Boulevard, a free-standing home near Argyle avenue.The brick townhouse at 459 Lansdowne avenue brought the highest markup of the month, selling for $171,000, more than three times its valuation.Highest average markup Along with the 11 properties for which details are reported below, 10 other homes changed hands in December sales, with prices recorded either as \u2018\u2018a dollar and other considerations\u2019 or with no details available.The 21 sales brought a total $3,577,900 for property evaluated at $1,411,200, an average markup of 153.5 percent, the highest of any month this year (indeed, for the past nine years).The average price of the residential sales, however, was $172,300, down some $5,300 from the November average, mainly because the homes purchased tended to be those in the lower price ranges.When the average markup of the month is applied to the average 1980 $76,334 valuation of a one- or two-family dwelling in West- mount, the average price is $193,534 \u2014 closing in on the $200,000 mark.Besides the residential and non-residential transfers, December saw seven transfers between members of the same family, two involving estates and four title transfers.December details Details of the December sales, listed alphabetically by street, are as follows: 120 Abbott: from Mrs.Josephine Dawson to Joseph Lampa, sale price $1 and other considerations (1980 MUC valuation, $36,300);

Mr.Hanigan said that although Métropolitain Provincial's assets had been taken over, a case to determine how much money should be paid for the company\u2019s charter is still before expropriation court.Although the company had been in a deficit situation, he said, the sightseeing part had been profitable and \u2018\u2018there is no doubt that there is some value\" to it.Included in the assets were buses and parts as well as permits to serve \u2018\u2018some 60-odd municipalities,'' creating an island-wide public transit system.Although the MUCTC had not been in the tour business as such before, he said, \u2018We were renting out buses on a charter basis doing about $1 million worth of business a year, including the airport operation to Mirabel.\u2019 The charter side formed what he called a \u2018\u2018very special unit,\" reporting directly to the transportation director.The charter business has since been combined with the new sightseeing operation and travel bureau to create a new commercial division headed by former Métropolitain Provincial president Jacques Lareau.When the City of Westmount began enforcing its bus by-law last April, it originally charged five companies and their drivers with its contravention.They were: Métropolitain Provincial, the MUCTC, Murray Hill Limousine Service Ltd., Lorec Limitée and Autobus Viens Inc.The MUCTC charges were dropped after commission lawyers submitted written arguments to the court.Crown prosecutor John Donovan explained at the time that since the first cases heard against Métropolitain Provincial and the MUCTC were considered test cases to establish the validity of the by-law, the city had decided to drop those against the MUCTC so as not to \u201cmuddy the waters\u2019 by challenging the MUCTC\u2019s special rights and prerogatives.The action did not, he said, prejudice the city\u2019s plans in the future.Judge William P.Shaw's judgment on the test cases handed down last month found Métropolitain Provincial guilty as charged.He ruled that the city had correctly enacted the bylaw and had the right to enforce it.The decision has paved the way for the hearings, starting April 14, of some 80 other similar cases against four com- - panies.: oo WORDS FROM THE \u2018OFFICE\": Jean-Guy Lavigne, general manager of the Office de la Langue Française, described his duties (in English) to members of the Rotary Club of Westmount last Wednesday.pointing out that his officials are now helping to develop \u2018\u2018francization\u201d programs for some 1,400 companies with between 100 and 500 employees, having been satisfied of the progress made by the 285 larger Quebec companies, 99 percent of which have complied with the requirements of Bill 101.The mid-range companies must have at least temporary francization certificates by the end of next year.By December 1983, he expects that all companies of 50 or more employees will be complying.Mr.Lavigne pointed out that even under the francization program, employees will be able to communicate with each other and with clients \u201cin the language they use,\u201d and head offices will be able to work in English so far as relations outside the province are concerned.Technical documents and management terminology might take many years to be transiated into French, he added; ideally, the \u201coffice\u201d is self-destructive, but not for the next 10 or 15 years, he suggested.He is as eager to ensure that Quebec francophones learn English as that anglophones learn French, he added.Two charged with damage Two men have been charged with damage to private property after they reportedly damaged a public telephone opposite 1265 Greene avenue Thursday about 3:30 am, according to police, who said the pair was under the influence of narcotics at the time.The suspects were seen by a witness as they entered the phone booth and attempted, police said, to get the money box out of the phone.The suspects, age 21 and 23, are from Montreal and Verdun, police said.a> all> all> \"= There is more REAL ESTATE in the THE WESTMOUNT Examiner CLASSIFIEDS (page 22) and on page 3 |
