[" Civic leaders called \u2018weak men\u2019 by tax protesters ; / By LAUREEN SWEENEY SUBURBAN mayors and councils have been called \u201cweak little men\u201d who don\u2019t represent the people, in light of the refusal by two councils this week to support angry taxpayers.\u201cWhat comes out of all this is that the mayors and councils are hollow figures with no power in the MUC or in the province,\u201d said stockbroker Richard Hancock, one of Westmount\u2019s tax protest organizers.In reviewing the ever-changing situation to date, he said it appeared the councils simply \u2018sit there and get elected on promises and consult legal experts.\u201cThey are empty figures up on a stage.They don't represent the people, so why do we pay them?\u201d Angry taxpayers from Côte St.Luc and Dollard des Ormeauxhad 2\" resolutions rebuffed by their respective councils Monday and Tuesday nights in calling for the withholding of MUC payments.DDO organizers feel their council is behind them, however, since they have agreed to study the situation.Not openly The situation wasn\u2019t brought up openly at the Dorval council meeting Monday night, according to council member Roy Amaron.Dorval, he said, already had passed a resolution three months ago asking for a variable tax rate which was forwarded to the municipal affairs minister, Jacques Léonard.\u201cIt's not a new concept,\u201d he said.Continued on page 25 Woman, 80 loses purse to teenagers An 80-year-old woman living on Olivier avenue lost her purse to two teenage boys last Thursday afternoon as she walked along her street approaching de Maison- neuve boulevard.Police said she couldn't prevent Hurts head the theft and didn't resist.The suspects came up from behind, grabbed the purse and it slid from her hand.She was unhurt in the incident which took place about 2:15 pm.NEXT WEEK S WEATHER By Capt.Eric Neal March 4 to 11 Gusty winds and intermittent snows (2 to 4 cm) with bright periods.Nights quite cold, afternoons relatively mild, morning fog for some places.\u201d Heavy storms continuing on eastern seaboard.Soft snow, cold rains or freezing drizzle in Ontario and along the border states into the Townships and the Maritimes mid-week.Light snow (2 to 7 em)in the Laurentians and north with strong winds.Clearing and warming, almost a thaw and bright like a false spring.Temperature range this week -20 to 7C but much colder in the ith 30 hours' sunshine.Police took a 32-year-old Prospect street man to the Reddy Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon when he fell on the edge of a desk, cutting

Nutik.Brakes fail, man steers vehicle.down steep hill A Montreal man manoeuvred his car down the steep Mountain avenue hill Friday morning after the brakes failed, managing to stop the car at the bottom after hitting a variety of obstacles.No one was hurt in the incident, but the car was considered a write-off.Police ticketed the motorist for driving with defective brakes and without a license.The 1975 Pontiac was heading south on Mountain at Montrose avenue when the brakes failed to work, police said.The first chance the driver had City firefighters aid Hampstead Westmount

English- language community took place at Victoria Hall last Thursday evening, as the newly-formed Alliance Quebec held its second organizational meeting in Westmount at Victoria Hall.Some 400 citizens showed that they still are willing to continue striving for political pressure to change the direction of the provincial government\u2019s very serious threats against the community.Efforts to rally the audience to \u2018\u2018take to the streets\u2019 got nowhere.Antagonizing by an avowed separatist (see separate article) failed to cause much of a stir in the largely older, middleclass assemblage.Instead, the newly-formed coalition of English-language groups recruited some 230 new members, many ready to join committees which will develop positions for a policy convention to be held late in May.Formed in reaction Alliance Quebec was formed in reaction to the latest setbacks to the community's identity which took place last year, explained its president, Eric Maldoff.Joanne

criminal incidents in Westmount during January, chalking up a 39.2 percent clearance rate.In releasing the statistics, Station 23 Director Michel Groulx said 51 of the cases were closed by arrest.Figures applied only to the Westmount sector of the district and did not include the St.Henri portion, also patrolled by this station.Of the 204 crimes, 118 necessitated investigation, he said, and 15 were referred to other units of the MUC police department, such as the fraud and hold-up squads.There were no murders or sexual assaults reported, although one rape took place under the Ville Marie Expressway on provincial territory and the case was turned over to the Sûreté Quebec.The majority of 18 incidents * classified as robberies were in fact purse snatchings, he pointed out.City located in region which is \u2018the first to go in police reorganization By LAUREEN SWEENEY The first step in the reduction of police regions to cut costs went into effect this week with the news that the south region, in which Westmount is located, will be the one to disappear.The new organization will divide the MUC police territory into four regions as it was before the south division was added several years ago.\u201cWe were the baby born last.I suppose it's natural that we are the first to go,\" said Regional Director Marcel Allard, explaining the change.\u201cWe are supposed to close the south region, but how it's going to be done I don't know,\u2019 he added.It is his job to work on the proposals which will decide the organizational future of the south region, he said.\u201cI'm starting to work on this now,\u201d he said, expecting that Write letters, mayor tells angry taxpayers Mayor Donald MacCallum does not feel protest action by homeowners throughout the Montreal Urban Community would serve the purpose of pressuring the provincial government to allow variable tax rates on different types of property.The mayor said he does not feel citizens have the right to do more than write letters to elected politicians or, in the case of the West- mount Municipal Association, to arrange a meeting with the minister of municipal affairs, Hon.Jacques Léonard.His Worship expressed qualified pleasure with the results of the Feb.16 WMA meeting on taxes, though he recognized that citizens left the meeting as frustrated with the tax hikes as when they arrived.\u201cI'm equally frustrated, and council is equally frustrated, but what can we do?\" he shrugged.He said, however, he was \u2018\u2018very glad they (the WMA) did it, and very glad that so many people turned out.\u201d Still, Mayor MacCallum said he received no directive from the citizens concerning what to do about the tax situation, he said.The reform of the MUC, under debate now in Quebec City, will not provide immediate answers to the tax problem, he said, except to bring the urban community under closer control of elected officials.He added his view that the transportation commission deficit should be shouldered more by transit users than by taxpayers, and suggested that properties might better be taxed on replacement value or even rental value, rather than \u201cmarket value.\" Continue to work He indicated, however, that Westmount would continue to work through the Conference of Montreal Suburban Mayors, of which he is vice-president, to urge reform of the tax system rather than attempting to do so independently.He was encouraged by the promised meeting of WMA representatives and Mr.Léonard, and noted that it would reinforce the Police discover drugs in car stopped here Local police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding a stolen car they recovered Monday evening after it ran a red light at Atwater avenue and Dorchester boulevard.The car, a beige 1980 Cadillac, was intercepted in front of 3001 Atwater and police became suspicious while questioning the two occupants.They found a small quantity of drugs in the car.The vehicle was believed stolen from a leasing firm in Mississauga, Ontario.Police identified the two suspects as a 28-year-old Edmonton man and a 36-year-old Mont- realer.Bouquet de | allen* slightly above the rest

VERIFIED CIRCULATION No status quo NOT unexpectedly, municipal officials on the Island of Montreal, including our own here in Westmount, have reacted if at all with remarkable sang froid to the uproar which current local tax bills have caused among significant segments of their citi- zenries.First, they are not used to this sort of thing.Mostly they were elected and have held office under the comfortable feeling that if they do their best there should be no complaint from the public they serve.Then, they are confident that rent controls and the economic slow-down \u2014 the obvious explanations for a depressed market in apartment and commercial properties, resulting in small gains in their tax evaluations as opposed to gross inflation of prices (and tax values) of private homes \u2014 are the responsibilities of other levels of government.Thus, the resultant heavy shift of tax burden to the individual property owner followed by a deluge of complaints is a disturbance of the status quo which might have been foreseen but for which, nonetheless, they have been quite unprepared.The question in the gored ratepayer\u2019s mind is, however.not who is to blame but, rather, what is to be done about it.* * * THE protest meetings, petitions, letters and representations can, of course, be ignored, but only at the peril of town and city council members being rightly accused of not taking up the cause of the citizens who elected them.Mayors and aldermen might be asking: are the complaints justified?Clearly, they are, There is no moral justification for the average individual homeowner in, for example, Westmount being required to pay six times as much as the average apartment dweller contributes in taxes indirectly through his or her rent for precisely the same municipal services.As our study in last week's EXAMINER showed, why should the house owner contribute $41.49 to the library while the apartment dweller provides only $6.81 for the same amenity?Our finance commissioner, Ald.Alwyn Lloyd, in his budget speech in December recognized this inequity and specially its impact on persons on fixed and/or limited incomes.He said he would like to do something about it.Undoubtedly Mayor Donald MacCallum and the rest of the members of city council would like to rectify this gross imbalance.The question is: how?* * * OBVIOUSLY there has to be change in attitude and legislation at Quebec.fn the long term there must be a reexamination of the basis of financing of Bus changes, scarcity leave citizens in cold Sir: I am writing about a situation that I forecast in a letter to you several years ago when Westmount had decided not to have a Métro station, namely that buses will service the Métro and we will be largely left in the cold.That is exactly what has happened.and N.D.G.The 105 bus formerly serviced Westmount conveniently and thereby transported many people to and from two hospitals on its route \u2014 the Queen Elizabeth and the Catherine Booth.I wonder if anyone at MUCTC responsible for the present change in this route is old/or handicapped and has negotiated the transfer at Sherbrooke and Decarie from the 24 to the 105 buses, particularly on a cold, wintry, slippery or slushy day especially with people rushing around to catch their buses.It is bad enough even on a good day when one is healthy and has an armful of food after shopping at any of the large supermarkets along Sherbrooke.However, it becomes treacherous when one cannot walk or breathe properly.It is necessary to cross a very busy intersection and walk downhill half a block and try to line up on a residential area sidewalk which narrows considerably in the winter, forcing people who are merely walking by to step onto the street to pass those waiting.No.105 buses often leave the Vendôme Métro full, thereby forcing passengers to wait for another.The Métro is inconvenient for those travelling along Sherbrooke and cannot replace the convenience of the bus.I propose that the Westmount City Council help us demand that the 105 bus return to the old route running from Atwater during the day as well as after 1:30 am.Short \u2018 Continued on next page A Canadian export IN a delightful piece the other day by Southam\u2019s Christopher Young, written from London, we are told that Britons tend to blame Canada for the \u2018\u2018unaccustomed'\u2019 extreme weather they were getting over there.It probably is true, since weather currents here appear to run from west to east and on across the Atlantic.If so, it seems inevitable that the Old Country folk, as a few around here still tend to call them, have got a taste this winter of \u2018the real thing\u201d \u2014 snow, ice, drifts and bracing cold as opposed to the miserable, damp kind to which they are more accustomed.The British have a quaint habit of pretend- municipal government.Property taxes* levied on evaluations derived from uneven inflation of real estate prices \u2014 specially when there are few other sources of offsetting revenue left with local government, such as the sales tax \u2014 are retrogressive and unfair, if only because they bear no relationship to the ability to pay.The atypical but highly illustrative case of the couple on Springfield avenue, in the moving story on page 15 this week, amply makes this point.In the medium-term, the laudable object of rent controls, to assure low-income tenants of decent housing, must be turned into a less blunt instrument.Landlords have a right to a return on their investments, let alone sufficient revenues to maintain their properties.The unselective manner in which rent controls are applied results in an unattractive market for investment in and development of apartment buildings.The losers in the end are the tenants: rundown premises and little selection of alternative places into which to move.In the immediate present, there must be relief for individual homeowners.It is simplistic to say that their houses are greatly enhanced in value and, therefore, they should not complain about the increased taxes.Selling, if they can find buyers for these tax burdens, is the only way they might realize any benefit; but, then, they must find somewhere else to live.Other over-taxed houses?Or scarce apartments?* * * MUNICIPAL Affairs Minister Jacques Léonard, in his reply to our MNA, Mr.Richard French, in the National Assembly last week said that to give municipalities the power to tax various classes of property at varied rates would \u2018create several categories of taxpayers.\u201d (See \u2018Our MNA says,\u201d page 5.) The only response to that non-answer is that there now clearly are at least two categories of unequally-treated local taxpayers: private homeowners and apartment dwellers.He is dodging the Uy 1S ing that they don't really get winter weather.Only to a limited extent is that question.Truth of the matter is that the whole thrust of provincial government, specially under the Péquistes, is to centralize all possible powers at Quebec.Socialist \u201cplanners\u2019 do not trust any authority but themselves.That is the root of Mr.Léonard's prevarication, if he or his officials had in fact given any serious prior thought to the problem at all.* * * IT is unfortunate that the current preoccupation of municipal leaders is the bill to reform the Montreal Urban Community.It is important that the two big sinkholes of local taxation, the MUC police and the MUC transportation system, be brought under local government control.But the mayors and others this week press- Mayor MacCallum ing their cases at Quebec have an even more urgent priority before them back home: how to deal with the angry and, in too many cases, frightened homeowners.is quoted in this newspaper this week as feeling that citizens do not have the right to do more than write to elected politicians or have their municipal association arrange to meet with Mr.Léonard.He may be in for a surprise.He may have to contend with ,a chamber full of irate citizens when Westmount city council meets next Tuesday evening.They may just be asking him what he, not they, intend to do about the unjust tax bills they have received

letter.true.Some years ago, on a working sabbatical in England, we were intrigued to see them playing golf, in the rain, on Christmas Day.But only a few days later, while doing a stint on the desk at the London Evening Standard, the first edition of the morning came up from the press room with a main sweepline proclaiming: \u201cEight Below Today!\u201d This was back in the days of Fahrenheit, so we were startled; it was cold, but not that cold.When the news editor was told that his headline would get guffaws from Canadians who take \u2018below\u2019 to mean below zero, he shivered and scribbled a new head.The second edition appeared half an hour later using the more English terminology: \u201cEight Degrees of Frost!\" Would that our temperatures here recently were only that low.But southern England was in chaos that morning.Rail traffic was snafued because the \u2018\u2018points\u201d (switches) were frozen.A short while later our tour of familiarization with U.K.journalism found us in the press gallery of the House of Commons at Westminster for a few days.The British brand of severe weather had continued and the first question one afternoon came from the Labor benches.\u201cT would like to ask the honorable minister of housing.\u201d said a Labor member, \u201cwhy we are not sensible in this country like the Scandinavians and the Canadians and put the pipes inside our houses, where they won't freeze?\u201d Up popped the minister, Mr.Duncan San- dys, without hesitation and straight- faced, who replied: \u201cI am pleased to inform the honorable member that we put our plumbing on the outside of our houses so we can get at it when it freezes!\" The house went on to other questions, as the country always seems to go on each year after its almost annual \u201csurprising\u201d blast of Arctic air, without acknowledging that the British get any winter to speak of and making no preparations from their experience for subsequent winters.Points still seize up and water pipes still freeze and, by George, they still get snow.One must admire a nation which can so ignore the elements and almost any other kind of adversity.We only wish they wouldn\u2019t blame Canada.Perhaps we could make a deal: we won't send them any more snow and cold if they'll stop muckin\u2019 about and send home our constitution.\u2018x 18 12 1 à i ! + evan amt

probability be taxed additionally to help balance the budget of the City of Montreal, Westmount, Montreal West, Hampstead and other municipalities bordering on the metropolis are beginning to consider the matter very seriously.Armand Mathieu, KC, honorary secretary of the City Improvement League, said in a subsequent address that \u2018there is such a thing as trespassing on good nature, for after all why should neighboring municipalities be called upon to pay Montreal\u2019s debts?The big city contracted them.These smaller cities have their own obli- 289 gations\u2019.Thirty-five Years Ago

D.French says.Mr.Léonard's figures IN answer to my question in the National Assembly last Thursday, the minister of municipal affairs recognized the municipal tax system in Montreal was occasioning significant transfers in the tax burden.While he claimed to be open to all solutions, he worried that permitting municipalities to charge variable rates for different categories of real property would bring other problems in its wake.Variable rates would \u201ccreate several categories of taxpayers\u2019 \u2014 as if the current system doesn't.The minister added that this question currently is being examined by the joint committee, \u201cQuébec \u2014 Municipalités\u2019 on finance.According to the Minister, the average tax bill in Westmount increased, between 1979 and 1981, some 3.3 percent, \u2018while the price of gasoline rose 26 percent.\u2019\u2019 Furthermore, in 1976, Westmount paid 2.87 percent of MUC expenses, in 1980, 2.34 percent, and in 1981, 2.51 percent, according to the minister\u2019s figures.Although the minister represents the Laurentian riding of Labelle, he lives in Outremont and is only too aware of the distortions caused by the current criterion of market value as determinant of tax burden.It is not clear, however, that he is fully aware of their political significance.He must be made aware.You may write him as follows: M.Jacques Léonard

I would be remiss if I were not to comment on the estimates which I tabled in the House of Commons last week.- As readers now know, the estimates \u201cflesh out\u2019 the expenditure side of the budget which was unveiled on Nov.12, 1981.In a sense they are already \u2018\u201c\u2018dated,\u201d based as they are upon the economic assumptions furnished to us by the department of finance as of budget time.That has always been the case.Spending plans of departments and agencies are developed over many months and some underlying cost assumptions are bound to be suspect, given the constantly changing economic landscape.Such changes do not always point to increased costs because lower-than-forecast inflation should mean lower-than-forecast transfer payments and other expenditures, which are indexed.But this scenario also means a lower GNP and less economic activity with higher unemployment.The result is high unemployment benefits, not to mention less tax revenues! All this to say that planning expenditure levels in the current economic environment is not easy.It becomes even more complicated when one adds the change in timing of a major expenditure program such as the petroleum incentive payments (PIPS).That program was intended to come into being in 1981-82 but the energy security act has not yet been adopted.Its adoption is now forecast for 1982-83.The result: a reduction of up to $1 billion in 1981-82 and a complementary increase in 1982-83.The projected percentage increases in expenditure levels for 1981-82 and for 1982-83 contained in the estimates will both change.Radio-Québec tomorrow to see Mr.Laurin temporize, prevaricate, and otherwise try to obscure the issue.Continued from previous page of that, I propose that the 105 bus use Clare- mont as the connecting street to Sherbrooke instead of Decarie; i.e., the 105 bus should travel east on Sherbrooke to Clare- mont, turn south to Maisonneuve and west to the Vendôme Métro, leave this Métro station and travel east again to Claremont, \u2018turn north to Sherbrooke and then turn west on Sherbrooke.Thus people could at least transfer to and from the 24 and 105 buses on Sherbrooke just west of Clare- mont at the same bus stop.Public transportation should serve the public and serve it as conveniently as possible.Public transportation serving West- mount has been reduced by 50 percent and what is left is either dangerous as described above or greatly wanting.Ask those who have witnessed more than a dozen people left standing on Sherbrooke opposite the City Hall around 4 pm because the 24 bus was too full to pick them up.Westmount homeowners are now struggling under an escalating tax load with reduced public transportation.Whereas it might once have been an advantage to live in Westmount, it has rapidly become a liability.R.Gliserman 53 Chesterfield avenue WESTMOUNT H3Y 2M4 Late-night rail noise protested by resident A copy of the following letter has been sent to THE EXAMINER: Mr.Jean Chabot General Manager Operations \u2014 Atlantic Region Canadian Pacific 1134 Ste Catherine West Montreal, Quebec Dear Sir: As a resident of lower Westmount, I have previously complained to Canadian Pacific about late-night movement of trains.During the summer of 1980.I contacted all of the residents in our area, wrote to THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER and The Gazette, and had the mayor appoint an alderman to Continued on next page Frey) pas ey - 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, March 4, 1982 Heads $13%4- By JOAN CAPREOL AS chairman and chief executive officer of Domtar Inc., Alex Daniel Hamilton heads a large multi-business enterprise with 40 percent of its assets in the province of Quebec, primarily in the forest products field.Net sales are $1% billion and total assets $1.3 billion.\u201cDomtar's role is to make an effective contribution to the economi« development of the province in the conversion of its natural resources to products which it sells mainly in the United States,\u201d said Mr.Hamilton during an interview in his posh office on the 16th floor of Domtar House at 395 de Maisonneuve boulevard west.Mr.Hamilton said Domtar, with about 18,000 employees, has definitely no intention of moving its headquarters out of the province.\u201cDomtar is controlled by the Quebec government through its agen- cies\u2014La Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec and La Société Générale de Financement,\"\u201d he explained.\u201cWe are always expanding product lines as concurrently we may be contracting product lines.It depends on the market.\u201d Problems from slump The current slump in construction, Mr.Hamilton said, had raised major problems for the corporation, for its employees and for its customers.\u2018\u2019The demand for construction is presently 50 percent of normal,\u201d he added.\u201cThere is little confidence that it may change in the future.This will cause major adjustments in our production facilities and their level of operations.\u201d The price of newsprint was adjusted on March 1.In Canada it is $540 (Canadian funds) per metric ton;

2.Because you are incapable of keeping your word for more than one year.Can some compromise be reached that would accept \u2018\u2018occasional box car\u2019 movement or should we push for legislation similar to that banning late-night plane activity around Dorval?Can you return to last summer's schedule or are you again at the mercy of Via's directives?I hope that you understand our situation.We must contend with the highway and with the trains all day.The highway cannot be stopped at night.The trains can.You have just proved it to us during the past year.Sunday, Dec.20 Saturday, Jan.16 Sunday, Jan.17 Yours truly, Pierre F.Leblond 112 Irvine avenue WESTMOUNT H3Z 2K2 Closing hour angers post office customer Sir: A copy of this letter has been sent to Michael Warren.None has been sent to Mr.Ouellet or Mr.Johnston as previous efforts have proved fruitless.I can understand the difficulties of controlling costs in Canada Post.I can understand the difficulties involved in improving service.It is slightly more difficult to understand how Special Delivery within the same city can take five days, but I manage to understand it.I do not understand, however, why Station H, in Montreal, was permitted to lock their doors before 5:40 pm yesterday (Feb.22), thereby preventing access to my P.O.box.Surely this can be controlled by the management?After all, it was 5:40 by their clock as well, and they are supposed to stay open until 5:45 pm.Perhaps one of your readers could help me understand how this happens.E.T.Pearson 4042 Dorchester blvd.west WESTMOUNT H3Z 1T9 Ce ea lion business honorable and energetic individual with whom it has been a pleasure to be associated.\u201d .Westmounter from start Mr.Hamilton was born in Mantreal on Nov.13, 1917, the son of Dan Hamilton, general manager of a saw company, who died in 1972 at the age of 96, having lived in Westmount since 1917, and Isobel Hamilton, who at 90 now lives at Manoir West- mount.He was raised in Westmount and was educated in its public schools, finishing Westmount High in 1935.He graduated in chemical engineering from McGill University in 1940 and is modest about his football prowess as a flying wing for the McGill Redmen.For a short time Mr.Hamilton worked as an industrial engineer at $85 a month for the Dominion Rubber Company (How Uniroyal).In 1941 he joined the air force and went overseas in 1942 to become chief technical officer of 127 Wing, 83 Group, Second: Tactical Air Force.He participated in the Normandy landings.Returning to Canada in September 1945, Mr.Hamilton started as an engineer in the paper industry and throughout his career worked up through the production side of the business.In December 1945 he joined the Ontario Paper Company Group, a subsidiary of the Chicago Tribune, and started in the ground- wood mill at Thorold, Ont., as a technical superintendent.In June 1955 he was posted to Baie Comeau, Que., as general superintendent.In 1960 he joined British Columbia Forest Products in Vancouver, which was a move into the general management of pulp and paper operations.For two years from 1966 to 1968 he was president of BCFP.In 1968 he joined Domtar as president of the pulp and paper group.In 1973 he became president and chief administrator of Domtar, a position he held until his appointment as chairman and chief executive officer in April 1981.Wife overseas, too While on leave from the air force, Mr.Hamilton married Frances McLeod, daughter of Kirk McLeod, a Westmount alderman, in St.Matthias\u2019 Church in 1942.After their marriage Mrs.Hamilton, a McGill graduate bacteriologist, went overseas, too, to do research work for the National Medical Research Council in London, England, from November 1943 to April 1945.The Hamiltons have five children: Joanne, 36;

that the January volume might not represent a recovery of activity in local real estate.Other types Among other types of property, triplexes highlighted the list of sales, including especially three buildings on St.Catherine street west of Grosvenor avenue which changed hands in January.Also sold were two one-third shares of a triplex on Claremont avenue, evidence of the growing interest in co-ownership in Westmount.The offices in a converted house at 4628 St.Catherine brought a substantial markup over valuation, but of course as the only office property to be sold in the month it does not indicate that commercial properties generally are underevaluated.One other sale involved land on Summit Circle, which went for $7.09 a square foot.The total of sales not involving one- and two-family dwellings came to $752,750 for nine properties evaluated at $559,582.The average markup of 34.5 percent is slightly lower than the 41.6-percent average for one- and two-family dwellings, but the differential is not substantial.Nevertheless, it would indicate there will be no reduction in the total proportion of the tax roll borne by one- and two-family dwellings next year, considering

before getting tax refunds Westmount property-owners who successfully fought their tax assessments for 1980 on the basis of the \u2018\u2018median proportion\" figure still have a long wait before they see any cash refunds, it appears.The City of Montreal and the Montreal Urban Community appealed the use of the \u201cmedian proportion\u201d as a specific figure for the establishment of valuations, but recently lost their case in Superior Court.They since have decided to appeal the decision, but appear in no hurry to see the matter settled.The case is being fought on the basis of the valuation of a downtown Montreal hotel, but its result will hold for all other cases which involve the \u2018\u2018median proportion.\u201d Lawyer Jean-Louis Paquette, representing the hotel, said the appeal process could take 18 months or longer, while both parties prepare briefs.He points out, however, that should the \u201cmedian factor\u2019 be upheld, refunds will have to be honored with interest at rates established by the respective municipalities from year to year.Quebec's fiscal reform law, Bill 57, states that the \u2018median proportion\u201d is supposed to represent the difference between the valuation as inscribed on the roll and the actual market value of the property on the Jan.1 preceding deposit of the roll.Montreal and the MUC apparently argue that its use is not required, but should only be considered a \u2018\u2018guideline\u201d* for assessing a property's worth.Since in 1980 most municipali- pme TRAFALGAR PENTHOUSE The most prestigious address in

last Friday night, as the Midget and Bantam teams from Selwyn House came to play the West- mount All-Stars.The building was packed as the Bantam tearhs took to the ice, both teams coming off wins in their last games.With the noise level at a continuous roar throughout the game, the two teams were both apparently up for the encounter.The first period was fast-paced and loaded with scoring opportunities at both ends of the rink; yet as high as the forwards may have been, the goaltenders were even higher.As a result the period ended with no score.After witnessing the up and down hard-hitting first period, anyone would have thought that the game would have to slow down.On the contrary, the play became even more intense.The second period came to an end with still no score.The third period was about as nerve-wracking and nail-biting as any one hockey game could be.Early chances Selwyn House had chances early but Westmount goalies Robbie Valdmanis and Fabrice Adam stole the show as they made spectacular saves one on top of the other, and kept the game scoreless.Westmount then held the territorial edge in play, but were stymied by the Selwyn House net- minder.Until midway

hero.Then, with just over a minute remaining in the game, Selwyn House forward Anders Bard scored on a shot that went through a maze of players, tying it at one apiece.It ended in a tie, which was probably the most fitting ending there possibly could have been as Recreation booklet may be cut The long-promised booklet describing recreation programs in the city might be one of the projects to fall under the knife of further budget austerity, based on the turnout and feelings expressed at the recent WMA protest meeting on Westmount taxes.Ald.Brian Gallery, commissioner of services, said last week he would be asking city council \u201cto.take a second look\u2019 at publication of the booklet, which he figured would cost some $10,000 to produce.The material might be photocopied and handed out to interested citizens at much less expense, he proposed.The comments came following a very successful meeting with representatives of the Westmount Municipal Association's recreation committee, who offered suggestions of what they would like to see in such a booklet.The representatives \u2018made a few corrections\u2019 as well as some \u201cvery positive and good recommendations\u2019 when they met with Ald.Gallery two weeks ago.\u201cIt\u2019s a perfect example of how the WMA can work with council,\u201d he said.Home entered, and messed up Someone broke into an apartment at 331 Clarke avenue last week on Wednesday afternoon turning everything upside-down, according to police.Nothing was apparently taken.Entry was made by lifting up the wooden door frame and pushing open the lock.both teams played such excellent hockey.Midgets play Then the Midgets took the ice to chants of \u2018Westmount, West- mount,\u201d from the large crowd that enclosed the arena.This game started just as the Bantam one had ended and it was fast and furious for quite some time.The two teams exchanged goals with Westmount\u2019s coming on a slapshot from Stephen Joo and Selwyn\u2019s from Tom MacFarlane.By the mid-way point of the second period it was two all, as Jean-Loup Barbeau had tied it up for the All-Stars, and John Higgins counted for Selwyn House.After this, however, it was al- \u201cmost all Selwyn House as Tim Zyto scored twice and Paul Sader once to make the final score 5-2 Selwyn.The game featured some great body checks as both teams are very aggressive by nature.HOCKEY SCORES Following are the scores for the Westmount municipal hockey leagues for the week ending Tuesday, March 2: NOVICE Feb.27: Bears 3, Knights 2 Feb.27: Dragons 2, Guards

necessary, through attrition.The report also suggests that if staff cuts are necessary, they be made in the administrative superstructure and not in areas that directly affect the students.in

Tax assessment victims: Welfare couple vow to keep their \u2018house of gold Boris and Maria Blagodatny By LAUREEN SWEENEY The problems faced by one Westmount homeowner are a stinging example of the idiocy of the property tax evaluation system.Boris Blagodatny, 7 Springfield avenue, has become a man trapped by the sudden soaring paper assessment of the house where he has lived for 25 years and which he vows he will never sell.His is probably a unique situation.The new evaluation of his house threatens to cut off the monthly welfare payments which have provided almost sole subsistence for his wife and him since 1971.Both unwell They are both unwell and unable to work.\u201cI bought a house of bricks for $16,000 in 1955,\" says the 63-year- old Pole.\u2018Now I live in a house of gold.\u201d Since he never intends to sell it, _he doesn\u2019t care what the house is worth.But the provincial welfare department does.His sudden \u2018paper wealth\u201d slashed his monthly payments from $550 a month to $147 when the house leaped in assessed value from $50,000 to $70,000 last year.Now that the 1982 evaluation is $120,000, he expects he will lose all welfare help.\u201cIf I can survive the next two years, I am going to be a king!\" he says, noting that at age 65 he will be eligible for the old age pension.He's a seasoned survivor.He is also a proud man.He survived the forced labor Boris in vaudeville camps \u201cof Nazi Germany as a young Pole.He survived the tough vaudeville world in Montreal and elsewhere in North America as an entertainer with his dancer wife, Maria.He survived open heart surgery and one of the early kidney transplants as well as so many other surgical operations that his wife calls him a \u2018miracle man\u201d But medical bills before the days of medicare ate up most of the family savings and the couple was forced to go on welfare, Through all the difficulties, however, they managed to keep the house which they worked hard to own outright so they would never have to leave.They now maintain the house and themselves on $300 a month from the reduced welfare payments and from rent charged two roomers.\u2018Very thrifty\u2019 \u201cI'm very thrifty.I'm from Europe.I know how to make do with a minimum,\u201d he says proudly.\u201cAt least I live in my own house.\u201d He already has paid the first tax instalment this year, using the amount budgeted for the entire year.To qualify for welfare, he says, one is allowed to own $50,000 in assets.\u201cI cannot understand why my house, which is exactly the same as the other three in my row, is assessed so much higher than the others.\u201d One, he claims, is as low as $95,000.\u201cIt is unfair.I ask why?But I cannot get an answer.I can\u2019t get to the proper person.\u201cEverybody tells me to sell my home,\u201d he says, \u2018\u2018but it is a sentimental thing to us.We have lived here almost as long as we have lived in Canada.My wife and I worked hard so we would owe nothing.We will never move.\u201cThey think because you live in Westmount you're a millionaire,\u201d he continues.\u2018\u2018It was by accident that we bought a house here.We liked the area.\u201d \u201cIt was a dump,\u201d adds his wife.\u201cHow we have fixed it up!\u201d He ponders the situation and muses, \u2018\u201cMaybe the welfare department is right.It is the people who pay.But we also paid when we were working.Some people, they're worse off than me.They have nothing, and children to look after.\u201d They don't want to leave West- mount or have to move into an apartment.\u201cWhere else can I live for $300 a month?\u201d he asks.\u201cWhere else can we be secure?\u201d Maria wonders.\u201cThere are so many fires and so much crime everywhere else.\u201d Former dancer She is a former dancer who-once appeared in the chorus lines at the Bellevue Casino, the Chez Paree and other clubs using the stage name Marika.\u2018\u201c\u2018Bory,\u2019\u201d as he was known on stage, often performed with her as a husband and wife team throughout the 1950s until he developed his own exclusive act.He signed with a New York agency and became a support act for shows headlining such big names as Pat Boone, Connie Francis, Bobby Darin and the Four Aces.The night he performed on TV's Ed Sullivan show, another entertainer \u2014 Elvis Presley \u2014 also made his appearance.\u201cIt was a good, but hard, life,\u201d he says, looking through albums of old publicity photos with his - wife.They did Oriental and classical dances as well as Caucasian knife dances and blues routines.They also speak many languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, German, French and English.Bory's father left Russia during the 1917 revolution and went to Poland.Some 20 years later, it Continued on page 25 FREE! 2 YEARS OR 40,0001» RECOMMENDED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ® VIRTUALLY ALL YOU BUY IS GAS! ® 18 MONTH SURFACE RUST WARRANTY ® 5 YEAR RUST PERFORATION WARRANTY ® OVER 100 KM/GAL (CIVIC FE)** © OFFER VALID FROM MARCH 1, 1982 TO APRIL 30, 1982 HONDA!

from walking the family dog after midnight, and he was located at 9:10 am in the Cote des Neiges area by the Westmount MUC police youth officer, Cst.Bernard Roy.The youth, a resident of The Boulevard and a student at Pierre Laporte School in the Town of Mount Royal, took his collie out for a walk at 12:15 am.Police said he told his mother he was walking to a convenience store on Cote des Neiges road.When he had not returned home by 3 am, his mother notified police, who instituted a search for the youth in areas such as the summit, parks and construction sites.News of his disappearance was aired over an 8 am radio newscast Monday and when Cst.Roy came on duty about that time he coritin- ued the investigation.The youth was found, apparently oblivious to the problem, at a friend's home on St.Kevin street, Cst.Roy said.Over 5 million Canadians suffer from some form of lung disease.Quebec Lung Association a A Try us once.you'll always come back UNIVERSAL TRAVELLERS INTERNATIONAL

the way in their push for a variable tax rate from Quebec.Organizers now feel council rejection will only strengthen the people\u2019s movement.Organizers are meeting locally today to plan a petition and adopt their strategy in the light of the quickly changing developments.The movement here is led by a Westmount Municipal Association committee led by Robert de Fougerolles, 500 Wood avenue, and Mark Rosenstein, 360 Redfern avenue.Three other residents, non- WMA members, sit on the suburban steering committee and form a liaison with the WMA and the broader movement.They are: Mr.Hancock, 3194 The Boulevard, Colette Tellier, 346 Kensington avenue, and Constantin Loudiadis, 430 Clarke avenue.Where will Westmount take the tax revolt from here?That was the question discussed by Westmount residents who attended the Côte St.Luc tax protest meeting last Thursday night.The wheels have been turning quickly here ever since, as they have in many other municipalities, as tax protesters prepare to bring the matter to the attention of their city and town councils by their next meetings.The Westmount Municipal Association committee met over the weekend to hammer out a resolution and future strategy.It was not certain today whether or not they would have their plan ready for Tuesday night's council meeting.A petition will be prepared and is considered probably the most effective means of pressuring council in Westmount, Mr.Hancock said.\u2018At their peril\u2019 \u201cCouncil can ignore it, but at their peril,\u201d he said.\u201cIt will be T.L.C.Round-the-clock nursing *

broader front will be worked out Saturday weekend at a meeting of more than 30 municipality representatives to the tax protest steering committee.The are expected to plan future rallies, one giant rally, a meeting with Municipal Affairs Minister Léonard and a march to Quebec likely in April.The plans were outlined yesterday by Hazel Lipes, a former Céte St.Luc councillor who is spearheading the protest.\u201cIt would have been nice to have had council behind us,\u201d she said.\u2018But you can't stop the movement now.All we need is one council which is strong enough to start the steam rolling.\u201d \u201cWe've got something going now.We've got to keep it moving,\u201d asserted Richard Hancock.The idea was that all 28 suburbs work work toward the same end, using the withholding of June 1 MUC payments by the cities as the tactic.How to persuade city councils to do that, however, would take different efforts in each community.\u201cOne solution wouldn't work everywhere.\" One problem was that while some municipalities like West- mount have already issued their tax bills, others had not yet been sent out.Mrs.Tellier, one of the three WMA workers who organized the local tax protest at Victoria Hall Feb.16, felt the Cote St.Luc meeting was a \u2018\u2018much better meeting.\u201d \u201cIt was more casual, with a lot of interaction between the panel and the people.\u201d Much of the success of the move- Kathy MacCulloch Domicare \u2026 WESTMOUNT, P.Q.Going on holidays?Away for the weekend?Why not take.advantage of our unique house-minding service?Let us water your

ad hoc committee set up that night to organize the fight and include representatives from all the suburbs.Pressure brought Pressure has to be brought on individual councils, resident Allen Nutik pointed out after the Côte St.Luc meeting.\u201cIf you can get 10 or 15 cities to withhold the MUC payment there's no question that the ground swell will have moved some of the municipal councils.If that's done it will indicate to Quebec that changes are absolutely necessary.\u201cWhat we're really looking at is a leadership problem.The PQ is at its weakest.Now is the time for our community to stand strong.\u201d _ Mrs.Lipes said she hoped the next tax protest would take place in St.Laurent or Outremont and that the movement would build up to a final march.She was also anticipating a mass rally.She expected many mayors to be against withholding the MUC payment, but felt councillors, on the other hand, would vote in favor if it were apparent that was what the citizens wanted.BORY.Continued from page 15 was Bory who was the young man when the Russians walked into Poland, followed by Hitler's army.Taken prisoner He was taken prisoner to Germany and put to work in the coal mines.Throughout the Second World War he worked building railways or tunnelling a mountain factory for V2 rockets.\u201cWe never knew what we were doing until after,\u201d he points out.\u201cI was lucky, near the end of the war I managed to escape while working on time-bombs.I survived in the mountains scrounging what I could to eat.I then surrendered to de Gaulle's army.\u201d The French turned him over to U.S.Army intelligence, he said.\u201cThey realized I was one of the survivors.They gave me a uniform to make me look decent because I was only a mountain man.They told me I could work entertaining the troops at Regens- burg.\u201d It was there he met a young The Westmount Examiner, dancer, Maria, also from Poland.He found he could leave Germany for Belgium by signing up to work in the mines.She also wanted to leave Germany, but they discovered at the last moment that the only way out for her was to be legally married.\u201cSo we were married the day before we left, but we never planned to stay together,\u201d Bory smiled.Formed team They formed a dance team but found life was not ideal in Belgium, where they felt like \u201cles étrangers.\u201d They emigrated to Canada in 1981 and came straight to Montreal.The act Bory perfected was the portrayal of a ballroom dancing couple in which he played both partners by bending over and using his hands for the woman's feet.Dummies formed the upper parts of the dancing couple.His wife claims he can do anything, including cooking, which he has always done for her.\u2018He's still cooking, and how!\u201d she says happily.\u2018\u201cGourmet meals.Nothing ordinary.\u201d \u201cNot exactly gourmet,\u201d he adds modestly.\u201cFrom nothing, I make - something.When you haven't much money, you have to cook that way.\u201d And that is how they manage to survive, happy as long as they can have their own house.\u201cYou Say\u201d is THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER\u2019s weekly forum of letters from readers, perhaps the

Principal, Westmount Park School, 935-4388.Classified Too Lates continue on back page TTR CR a te ; Home and school group seeks English langu The Westmount-based Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) wants no changes to the Quebec educational structure that would affect the present confessional school boards uniess there is a constitutional guarantee of English language education with the appropriate support services.This statement is consistent with the QFHSA court challenge to- Bill 101 and with its opposition to section 59 of the recent Canadian Constitution Act.At a press conference Friday morning, the QFHSA executive reviewed the progress of their various actions to guarantee English language education rights in the province.While the federation's stand on school board reorganization appears to be only a stand on English language rights, Marian Daigle, QFHSA executive vice-president, said that the bottom line for the federation is quality education.\u2019 She added that the QFHSA is concerned about the pedagogical effects of the proposed reorganization and claimed that it is another step by the government to obtain complete control of education.All parents Ms.Daigle also said that opposition to the reorganization should be based not only on language but also on a commonality of, opposition with all parents in Quebec.Owen Buckingham, QFHSA president, maintained that the new boards emerging from reorganization would not be elected by universal suffrage.He said that the fact that only parents would have a vote implies that other segments of society are not supposed to have an interest in education.Mr.Buckingham also questioned that if it makes financial sense to reduce the number of boards (actually to be regional councils) off the island of Montreal, as claimed by the Ministry of Education, then why are they being increased on the island?The QFHSA executive also announced at the meeting that their court challenge to Bill 101, initiated in 1977, will finally be heard in the autumn.They expect they will take the course to the Supreme Court and are asking all Quebecers for financial support.The federation already has raised $65,000 for the preparation of the case but expects another $200,000 will be needed to keep the case in court.Videotape made The federation also showed at the press conference a videotape made for distribution to local Home and School associations.It features the co-plaintiffs of the court case explaining why they became involved in the legal action and why they believe Bill 101 to be a bad law.When asked at the press conference about the possible repercussions of such action, in light of recent reaction to statements about Bill 101 made by Ted Tilden, one of

HONOR: Marcel Massé, president of the Canadian International Development Association (CIDA), second from right, and his wife, Josée, left, arrived here from Ottawa as guests of honor at last week's 75th anniversary banquet held by the Westmount Scouting movement.With them are District Commissioner Maggie Shaddick, 580 Roslyn avenue, Scout Arn Meldrum, 11, 1418 Pierce street, and Jim Ether-

beneficiaries of a geriatric service offered by Catherine Booth Hospital.Respite care\u2014two weeks of vacation relief\u2014is designed to provide an incentive to care for the elderly by giving psychological and physical relief to the caregivers.It is known that breakdowns in the family support system appear to be the primary cause of institutionalization of older people.Last year the Catherine Booth Hospital conducted a six-month pilot project to ascertain the need for providing respite care for families living in Westmount, Montreal West and Notre Dame de Grace.To assist in evaluating the project participating families were asked if they thought the program is worth continuing.Some of the comments included: \u201cYes, to enable the party taking care of the patient to get a well- deserved rest.\u201d Another said: \u2018I am very much obliged and thankful for your kind help.We have neither children or family.My.wife is an invalid and shut-in that cannot be left alone and has to be looked after day and night.I myself have a heart condition and am 80 years old.After more than seven years of cooking, cleaning house, shopping, looking after my wife, etc., I myself felt like a shut-in.These two weeks were like a breath of serious.\u201d The QFHSA opposition to section 59 of the constitution act is based on the claim that it institutionalizes discrimination by exempting the English minority in Quebec from section 23(1)(a) which guarantees minority language rights.The federation\u2019s appeal to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to delete section 59 failed but the point was recognized in the British House of Commons.fresh air.\u201d Last week, the board of the hospital agreed to continue providing.this type of care commencing March 1.Reservations

will amaze and astound you at the all new and different 42nd edition of the Shriners\u2019 Circus at the Forum from today until Sunday.Westmount is not backing off this year, as it did last year, from the requirement that taxpayers will accumulate interest on the second half of their tax bill immediately if they have not paid the first half by Jan.31.The rule is a part of provincial property tax legislation approved late in 1980 which states, simply, that if the first tax instalment is not paid on time the second half automatically becomes due and payable.City officials report some taxpayers are floored when they come in with a late payment of the first instalment, and find that they are being charged for the second bill which carries a due date of July 1.Many municipal officials protested the government's notion that cities should be required to split the bill into at least two sections, with the second half due no earlier than July 1.As a concession, the government added the second clause, which means, basically, that the interest on the second portion is added to whatever interest is charged on the late first portion.Total bill If, for example, a taxpayer has a total bill of $3,500, he should have received from Westmount two bills of $1,750 each, one due Jan.31 and the other July 1.If he or she has not paid the Jan.31 bill on time, the instalment has accrued interest of $30.63, or 1.75 percent, the monthly interest rate.The taxpayer should realize, however, that the same $30.63 has accrued on the second half of the bill, and will continue to accrue until such time as it is paid.What it boils down to, in essence, is that the unpaid first- half bill is collecting interest at twice the rate between Jan.31 and July 1.Last year, officials discovered the clause in the legislation after the two tax bills had been mailed out, and notified citizens only when they arrived late at city hall to pay the first portion plus interest.After some manoeuvring, it was agreed they could drop the requirement, since the clause still was unclear.This year, however, provincial officials have cleared up any ambiguity and a separate notice was included with the tax bills warning citizens of the provision.Some citizens also have been upset because Westmount required the first payment by the end of January, rather than the end of February as in many other municipalities.City officials in other communities are rather jealous of Westmount's ability to get its tax bills out so early, pointing out that it is \u2018\u2018to the citizens\u2019 advantage\" since it means the overall budget can be lowes.Many other municipalities find they have to borrow money to make up for the cash shortfall resulting from their delay in collecting tax bills.Two men

RICK KERRIGAN A Roslyn School committee task force has pinpointed crowding and lack of support from school authorities as the main problems facing the Roslyn School lunch program.The task force report was presented to the committee at its Monday evening meeting and lunch program organizers will be meeting with the task force to discuss the findings and recommendations.The force, comprising Derek Heathcote, Fran Olsen, Cathy Teoli and David Waiser, believes that the rooms used in the program should have a capacity limit based on fire and safety standards.It also recommends that each child have a seat at a table in a room to eat and should not have to eat in a hallway.To avoid overcrowding, the task force also suggests that bused children be given priority in registering for the program.Children of single working parents and of two working parents would then be allowed to register in that order.Richard Lock, a lunch program organizer, replied that the West- mount fire inspector had visited the lunch program rooms, as per the recommendation, and said that the main room was actually underused while the other smaller rooms were at their Roslyn has difficulty registering Student registration for next year at Roslyn School is proceeding with considerable difficulty, according to Principal Barbara MeKnight.* Reporting at Monday evening\u2019s Roslyn School committee meeting, she blamed a letter from the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal which didn\u2019t make clear what information was required by the school for registration.Ms.McKnight said she will be phoning every parent to get the required information, which is used to plan staff hirings or transfers.+ small classes with su Bre arse CE NI NE ALBERT COLLEGE 125th anniversary year e

capacity.He also agreed with the registration recommendations and added that the program probably would not increase its numbers next year.Maintain discipline To help maintain discipline or, at least, some semblance of order during the lunch hour, the report recommends that the principal or a teacher make her presence felt once a week.\u2018The lunch program desperately needs the support and backing of someone in high authority who commands the respect of the children,\u201d says the report.Volunteer senior students also are seen as one means of improving discipline.They also would help to clean up and receive rewards for their work.The main target of the discipline measures is the boys of Grades 1 to 3.Currently, the report says, the lunch program has too many boys the same age in a small space with no real guidelines for behavior.Other problems are the food exchange tables, which the report recommends be abolished because they encourage children not to eat; children eating with outdoor clothes on, which encourages them to rush; and lack of discipline in the school yard, which could be remedied by having supervised activities.Teachers seek support in opposing board changes Roslyn School teachers are seeking the support of the school committee in opposing the proposed school board reorganization by the minister of education.Johanne Cornoyer, a Roslyn teacher and union representative, told the committee at its Monday evening meeting that the ministry is pushing for implementation of the plan for the beginning of the next academic year to coincide with the expiration of teacher contracts.Ms.Cornoyer claimed this would put the teachers at a disadvantage because the board reorganization would \u201cmix us up.\u201d Under the plan there would be no local negotiations.She suggested parents and teachers share the different pieces of information they have been receiving in the form of \u201cleaked\u201d government documents.A committee member, Georgina

parents and teachers will meet sometime after a union symposium or reorganization March 23.\u2018I love to read\u2019 week gets money for librairies Each teacher at Roslyn School has $34 to spend on

that money was made through the book fair, the sale of buttons, and a popcorn sale.The latter event, however, she vowed, would not be run again, complaining that her office smelled of popcorn.\u201cIt smells like an old sock,\u2019 she exclaimed.Ms.McKnight said that although the Toronto book dealer didn't give as large a discount on books as the dealer allowed last year, many more books were sold because of the higher quality.Ms.McKnight also reported that the week, which included visits by authors and daily reading periods, generated considerable enthusiasm in the school.NADA\u2019S DANCE

\u201cbrought things to a .head,\u201d he said.The organization, which grew out of the Quebec Council of Minorities, has received the support of the Positive Action Committee, Participation Quebec and other groups which developed after the original Parti Québecois victory of November, 1976.It intends to work \u2018\u2018quietly and behind the scenes\u2019 to ensure change, he explained, but it retains the option of taking more drastic measures to press for justice for English-speaking Quebecers.The needs of the English-lang- | uage community are much the same as those of the French, explained Alex Paterson, co-chair- man of the Positive Action Committee and one of the driving forces behind Alliance Quebec.He suggested we all work together to \u2018\u2018sell Montreal\u201d to the young who are leaving the province, and English Quebec could convince the government \u2014 specially through the French press \u2014 of the sillier aspects of Bill 101.Drop barriers \u201cI say through you to the Government of Quebec, drop the barriers, drop the wall, untighten the screws and let us build a new Quebec,\u201d he declared to an applauding audience.An open question period following the speeches did little to clarify the points which West- mounters (and central Mon- trealers) might wish to emphasize in terms of Alliance Quebec's overall policy, but it did allow some of the more frustrated citizens tq speak thèfr minds.-: One, for .example, wondered why nobody has challenged the legitimacy of Article 1 of Bill 101.that \u201cFrench is the official language of the province.\" Another felt that the entire charter is \u2018\u2018contrary to the spirit of Canada.\u201d One more wanted to fight for bilingual districts.\u2018Our policy until now has been appeasement,\u201d he stated, noting that the language-of-signs provisions proved the failure of that policy.\u201cI'm tired of doing that and I think it's time we take to the streets.\" More than one questioner demanded that Alliance Quebec explain its disclaimer of the now- famous attack on Bill 101 offered the Montreal Chamber of Commerce by auto-renter Ted Tilden.\u201cThe substance of what Mr.Til- den has said .is accurate and reflects the feelings of a large part of the English community,\u201d Mr.Maldoff asserted.He said, however, that Alliance Quebec disapproved of the \u2018loaded terms\" which make English Quebecers look like \u201c\u2018unthinking rednecks.\u201d \u201cWe have very legitimate arguments to make,\u201d he went on.\u201cLet\u2019s not blow it and use terms which are going to destroy our message.\" The hopeful mood of the organizers was summed up by the final 7 HEAD TABLE: Organizers of Alliance Quebec who addressed some 400 citizens at Victoria Hall last

laughs Westmount may have taken great strides toward accommodating Quebec's French-speaking - majority in the past two decades, but it still is not a place for an avowed separatist to get much of a hearing.That lesson was learned quickly last Thursday evening by Gérard Brosseau, a citizen of St-Jean-sur- Richelieu (as he explained), who tried to convince some 400 non- francophones at Victoria Hall that they should \u2018\u2018assimilate\u2019\u2019 into Quebec.The well-dressed man was greeted with scattered boos, jeers, a few laughs and efforts by one woman to pull the microphone away.Mr.Brosseau, who indicated his name was supposed to be familiar to many of those in the room, reached back in history to explain that his forebears, far from being conquered by British colonists, had maintained their cultural identity.History has shown that two cultures cannot live together, he said, and now that the French- speaking government was in the driver\u2019s seat, it would.mean the English would have to assimilate.\u201cThere's no nation without assimilation,\u201d he declared to the booing crowd.Alliance Quebec organizers finally asked Mr.Brosseau to be seated, and he
