restricting smoking in public places.Ten WMA directors, including Blenheim thief only took cash Less than $500 cash was reported stolen from a home on Blenheim place Tuesday last week, according to police.The house was entered through the rear by breaking a window in the door.Every room apparently had been visited by the intruder sometime between 8:30 am and 4:15 pm.several smokers, voted for the resolution after considerable debate.At least one non-smoker was among the five directors who opposed the resolution.WMA president James Wright abstained from voting as chairman of the meeting.Directors considered the no- smoking resolution after receiving a request to do so from Derek Morton, of the Society to Overcome Pollution (STOP), at their regular March meeting.A resolution calling for a West- mount version of a Toronto no- smoking by-law had been rejected earlier after Andy Dodge complained about the number of signs called for in the by-law.Directors preferred to

going to the dogs.It\u2019s April.And the fine weather is bringing out pooches and owners alike.The 1984 dog licences go on sale Monday and there\u2019s a new look for the new city dog catcher, described by officials as an animal lover.He started work last Monday, assigned to the Public Security Unit, and is to operate more as an animal officer, encouraging dog owners through \u2018\u2018friendly persuasion\" to comply with the city\u2019s by-laws.Former dog catchers worked with the parks and recreation department.A new mini Ram van, painted dark blue and white like other public safety vehicles, will be used for the dog patrol.It is expected to be delivered soon.The message to dog owners from both city council and the Public Security Unit is loud and clear: walk your dog on a leash, clean up after him and buy your \u201cbest friend\" a gift that may save his life \u2014 a licence.The appeal came last week from Senior robbed, hospitalized A 78-year-old Westmount woman was taken to hospital Saturday evening after she was hit in the face by a man who stole her purse, police report.The woman was robbed about 6:15 pm just as she was about to enter the inner door of the foyer in the apartment building at 4278 Sherbrooke street.The robber, described as being about 45 years old, said, \u2018Okay.lady, this is it.\u201d He then hit her in the face and made off with the bag containing less than $100.Beyond Westmount\u2019s Borders.18 Building permits.10 Classified advertising 32-36 Editorials/We Say 4 Education.30-31 Entertainments and eating 12-13 Examining

recurring \u2018\u2018accidents\u2019\u201d\u2019 will bring court summonses.Several such cases are now before Westmount Municipal Court.Fines range up to $300 for infractions of the dog by-law.Ald.Shingler told the city council meeting he deplored the layers of dog droppings left behind by the melting of winter snows, proof that the by-law has not been observed by many dog owners.Dog licences will be on sale at city hall next month for a fee of $10 along with proof of rabies vaccination within the past three years.Licences are in the best interest of dog owners, Dir.Ashford pointed out, since they lead to the quick identification of lost pets.The Public Security Unit keeps Continued on page 17 Two Oscar winners live here Two residents of West- mount were winners on stage

disconnected detector By LAUREEN SWEENEY A possible problem involving tenants disconnecting their smoke detectors in the apartment building at 1 Rosemount avenue is under investigation, fire officials report.Suspicions apparently were aroused following a call for burnt food in one of the apartments last Thursday, one week ago.Public safety officers and firefighters were called out at 3:44 am for smoke in the building.Smoke was found in the second floor hallway.A number of doorbells were rung until the source was found to be a pot of beans left cooking on a stove in apartment 26, according to public safety officials.There was no fire and the building was ventilated.A Public Security Unit car later returned to the apartment at 4:24 am to investigate why the smoke detector in the apartment had not sounded.PSO John Everatt reported that he found the battery had been removed.He reconnected it and the situation was turned over to WIN A PRIZE Write a balloon for Judy Yelon's cartoon this week \u2014 see page five.the fire brigade for further investigation.A foliow-up inspection was made by fire inspector Lieut.Barry Coates, fire officials said.It was reported that residents of the building had been awakened by the smoke from the burnt food rather than smoke detectors.A building official was of the opinion that residents of the apartment building disconnected the smoke detectors.Checks of individual apartments were not completed, fire officials said yesterday.It was not known whether other detectors also had been disconnected.The city's smoke detector bylaw makes it mandatory for all building owners to install smoke detectors.It is the responsibility of the occupants of dwelling units to maintain their smoke detectors in good working order.HAPPY PASSOVER to our

together at the same table every school lunch hour have decided to put castors on the table and push it to Ottawa to raise money for the Donald Marshall Fund.The youths, who call themselves Table 17, are determined to raise $10,000 in pledges from the 225-kilometre trip May 18.They have already collected more than $1,200.**Most of us at the table are called barbaric in the dining room,\u201d said Richard Denis, one of the seven.\u201cThat's why we decided to do something to sharpen up our image.\u201d The boys rejected several different charitable projects, he said.\u2018\u2019Then we heard about Donald Marshall and we felt for what had happened to him.\u201d The Donald Marshall Fund was set up to help compensate the 30-year-old Micmac Indian who spent 11 years in prison for a murder he never committed.The fund was established by Rev.Bob Hussey, minister of St.Andrew's United Church, directly across the street from Selwyn House.This week, the fund reached $30,000.The Ottawa trip is the brainwave of Richard Denis, Douglas Bentley, Colin McGilton, Etientie Coté, Talat Chugtai, Fred Hyde and Adam Bruun.They are supported by the school\u2019s geography teacher, Roger Nincheri, who also is a member of Table 17.He will drive the support vehicle on the trip.Physics teacher Brad Moffat is to make the table roadworthy.Meals-on-wheels, someone called it.Bruce Glasspoole, another teacher, will look after the walkers\u2019 physical fitness.Mr.Hussey also intends to join the entourage.\u201cWe have a dream of making the trip under 48 hours,\u201d Richard Denis explained.\u201cThat would mean we would have to maintain a constant pace of five kilometres an hour.\u201d The boys have been collecting pledges door-to-door, going only to houses with lights on.\u2018So far we've had such a good response from everyone that it's almost as if all the houses had their lights on for us.\u2019 Richard said.Known for his enterprising ideas, Richard is a member of the St.Andrew's Venturer Company and a former member of The Strolling to Ottawa for Marshall ++ à rat 2 > MEALS ON WHEELS: These are the boys and this the table, all expected to hit the road to

backlog of property valuation appeals in the $250,000-$1,000,000 category.All can expect to be heard by July.In addition, judgments from the Bureau de révision de l'évaluation foncière (BREF) will now be translated into English on request.The information came yesterday from Richard French, West- mount\u2019s MNA.Two weeks ago Mr, French had asked the new Quebec municipal affairs minister, Alain Marcoux, to look into the backlog of appeals, some dating back to 1981.He also asked for translations PSU helps quell fire on lawn Emergency crews helped douse a fire on property outside 621 Clarke avenue Wednesday night last week after a resident had been attempting to burn off grass or leaves.A Public Security Unit patrol reported \u2018burning grass\u2019 at 7:16 pm and pitched in with buckets of water to help the citizen douse flames, officials said.Firemen were called to the scene at 7:29 pm but reported burning leaves had been extinguished on order of the PSU.Two lockouts on

Mr.French said.That was to have the valuation changes gained in appeal passed on to subsequent years so property owners would not have to keep on appealing.\u201cThe minister said the problem was that market conditions changed from year to year and we could not infringe on the evaluator\u2019s professional expertise.\u201d Mr.French said this tended to place the property owner in a \u2018\u2018classic bureaucratic snub\u2019\u2019 situation.The number of outstanding appeals on property over $250,000 in the backlog stood at 13,500 last October, according to Mr.French.Over 35

St.Andrew's United Church building in the event the church amalgamates with Dominion- Douglas.Although no decision has yet been taken on the possible merger, parents of children attending St.Andrew's School, in pat- ticular, voiced concern over the school\u2019s future.Malcolm Loucks, chairman of the church amalgamation committee, told THE EXAMINER that in the event of merger, no changes would affect the school or community groups at the church for at least another year.\u201cIt is our intention to maintain a church presence here until at least June 1985,\" he said.Results from a feasibility study by two United Church consultants and an appraiser were announced to the congregation Sunday.They also were outlined in a letter mailed Tuesday to the church\u2019s 250 families of whom on- Joining proposal outlined Recommendations to unite the congregations of St.Andrew's United Church and Dominion- Douglas released this week are as follows: * That Dominion-Douglas be the church home of the combined congregation; * That a St.Andrew\u2019s chapel be established in the Dominion- Douglas complex, containing a number of memorials to maintain St.Andrew's identity; e That Dominion-Douglas be refurbished and renamed to become a new church for everyone; * That each congregation submit suggestions for a name for the newly constituted combined congregation.It would be expected that both congregations would worship in St.Andrew's during renovations at Dominion-Douglas, possibly moving to the other location early in 1985.The consultants selected retention of Dominion-Douglas for its \u201cnecessary space\u2019 as well as its suitability \u2018only as a church.\u201d It was considered to have little appeal for sale at this time.JEWELLERY REPAIRS ADVICE AND

approval or rejection at a special meeting Easter Sunday, April 22 (see separate story).They also will be considered by the Dominion-Douglas congregation April 25, Mr.Loucks said.The 17-year-old St.Andrew's building was considered more salable than Dominion-Douglas.It is appraised at some $1.5 million.For some time, the building has been seen as a possible site for a new police station, another religious congregation or even as an extension to adjacent Selwyn House School.A letter from Selwyn House has asked St.Andrew's to inform the school if amalgamation should become fact.Comment premature Tim Carsley, chairman of the school\u2019s board, told THE EXAMINER this week, he was not aware of any \u2018\u2018definitive plans\u2019 by the churches at this point \u2018\u2018so any comment by me would be premature.\u201d The boys\u2019 school last summer underwent extensive renovations and expansion of the science laboratories.Mr.Loucks said the church felt a moral responsibility to maintain the St.Andrew's School, a AN EXCLUSIVE OFFER: BEAUT nursery school and kindergarten.He hoped the school would be retained should the building ultimately be sold.\u2018We have recommended that we not be in a hurry to sell\" should merger be approved, he said.Even if combined Sunday worship should take place on the Dominon-Douglas site early in 1985, \u2018we would want to maintain a church presence in the St.Andrew's building until at least the summer, maybe even using it for small weddings and funerals.\" \u2018Strong and healthy\u2019 He said the idea behind a merger was \u2018to get one church going that\u2019s strong and healthy.\u201d Both congregations already have given approval in principle to the merger concept, paving the way for the feasibility study.The \u2018\u2018401 to Toronto\u2019 had taken its toll on the congregations, Mr.Gh i a \u201cREGAL ™ 484-1172\" REGAL TAXI 24-HOUR SERVICE plus service to both airports Loucks said.At St.Andrew's, many older church supporters had died and there were few middle-aged members with their young children.The present building was constructed some 17 years ago after fire destroyed the

say Mr.Johnston should resign from the cabinet.All because, on the campaign trail for the Liberal leadership® our MP has dared to suggest that Japanese-Canadians uprooted from B.C.during the Second World War should be compensated and that Petro-Canada should sell off its service stations to the private sector.They claim these views are contrary to current government policies and therefore, on the altar of \u2018\u2018cabinet solidarity,\u201d Mr.Johnston should quit the Trudeau ministry.Arrant nonsense.First, the sham that cabinets take decisions in monolithic unanimity.The only purpose for the pretence of \u201csolidarity\u201d is to deny oppositions openings for exploiting disagreement within governments.Or possibly betraying to the country and abroad any uncertainty in government purpose.The rest is tradition.Second, Mr.Johnston is one of several Government A NEW insight into the kind of \u2018economy exercised with our money by government came our way last month.We were expecting delivery March 30 of a piece of fairly sophisticated and superior office equipment.It didn't show up and we called the supplier, usually reliable about these things, to ask why.It seems that the federal government's fiscal year ended March 31.It also seems that about the middle of March government departments take a look at the estimates they had been voted and at how much they had spent.If they have come in under budget, it appears there is no rejoicing in civil service land.Not at all.Rather, to the bureaucratic mind they have failed.What to do?Rush out and spend.The trick, however, is to get delivery of cabinet ministers (and one high profile ex-minister) vying for the posts of party chief and prime minister.If the Liberal party following, and citizens generally, in the country are going to make a meaningful and informed choice, they are entitled to know where each candidate stands on important issues.In particular, the nation is entitled to know in what ways each hopeful differs from Mr.Trudeau and from the others.The cabinet-room muzzle would leave Mr.Johnston and his rival colleagues mute on anything relating to current government policies.Only Mr.Turner would be free of such restraint \u2014 patently unfair and of disservice to the country.Rather, the Hon.Don is to be commended for his candor and for daring to differ not only with other members of the ministry but with his present chief.Indeed, we are getting a clearer, more substantive picture of where the West- mount MP stands than from any other Liberal in the running and, in fact, where Mr.Mulroney and the entire Tory party would lead us.\u2018economy\u2019 such purchases before March 31.Else, these items get charged to the department\u2019s next year's budget and, in public cuckooland, this year's balance will have been \u201cwasted by not being spent.So, why didn\u2019t we get that awaited piece of truly needed equipment March 30\u201d Several of them, we are told, were being rushed to a government department to beat the deadline.Not only is this done with our money, and yours.But we are shoved aside by government demands on suppliers to divert all manner of things from us and other real-world customers.This only underscores what most businessmen have understood for a long time.In government there is no profit or loss.There is no bottom line.1 Say! Sign on Evelyn Waugh's gate: \u2018No admittance on business.\u201d You Excellent police service wins a citizen's praise Sir: In \u2018Another 15 traffic mishaps last week\u201d (THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER, April 5) it was reported that \u201c\u2018a 42-year-old Montreal man went to hospital Friday night when the car he was driving hit a lamp post on St.Catherine street at Claremont.\u201d This accident occurred just outside Château Maisonneuve where I live.Because of the severity of the impact and the smoke coming out of the car, I phoned the police (934-2121).Three minutes later, a car arrived and took the man to hospital and the stalled truck was hauled away within 20 minutes of the accident.I could not let such an excellent service go without congratulations and thanks.I am sending a copy of this letter to the director of our MUC Station 23, Michel Groulx, as appreciation for a job well done.This was not the first accident that I have witnessed at the same spot, although it was the most severe.I can remember off-hand three in the last two years.There might well be need for a warning sign well ahead of this turn, one that under unfavorable circumstances could be too concealed and sharp.R.H.Ferahian 4998 de Maisonneuve blvd.west WESTMOUNT H3Z 1N2 City collection method receives condemnation A copy of the following letter has been sent to THE EXAMINER.The Mayor of Westmount City Hall 4333 Sherbrooke streeet west Westmount PQ H3Z 1E2 Dear Mr.Mayor: To start at the beginning is a little difficult.After all, not many people may remember that their friend picked up a few FRR SS BRR y parking tickets one weekend a couple of years ago, or that a message was sent to that effect from your home to mine shortly after and that was the last I heard from you.However, to start at the end is a little easier.With the scrawl of a pen and a phone number and the word \u2018\u2018urgent\u2019\u2019 underlined (a copy of which I enclose) a note was also stuffed into a mailbox.I got the note around 10 o'clock at night and of course called the number.I reached an answering service and asked (judging that whatever it was that sparked the message, it could not have been that urgent) for the party, a Mr.Pierre Guerin, to call me at my office the following day.A few minutes later I received a phone call from a man who at first would not identify himself but accused me of \u2018\u2018playing games.\" When I was about to hang up (it was about 10:30 pm) he said he was \u2018\u2018the bailiff\u201d\u2019 and that I owed the City of West- mount almost $250.Within a few minutes, as I tried to figure what it was all about, I was threatened with 1) being hauled into Bordeaux Jail that night, 2) having Mr.Guerin come over and \u2018\u2018smash down\u201d my door, and 3) the possibility of harassment throughout the night, and taping my calls.I also was repeatedly called a liar when I asked him to spell his name to make sure it was the same as on the card that had been stuffed in my mailbox.What we were talking about, it transpired, was $30 of parking tickets that had escalated into a sizeable fee.The argument is not with the price of the crime, although it sure beats inflation.The argument is that this was not at all necessary.No notice in over 18 months and then I'm threatened with jail, legal breaking and entering and assorted midnight mayhem?Was this really necessary?Needless to say, I spent the night at a friend's home.The next day I paid the clerk his due but not after speaking with your prosecutor, Mr.Donovan, who informed me that Westmount \u2018\u2018can\u2019t afford the extra Continued on page 16 Privacy vs.public right to know EVERY once in a while readers who find themselves unwillingly in the news protest to us that they are being harmed, having their privacy invaded or being put at risk of some kind or another.This week it was someone who gave us the first intimation (before we had made our regular police rounds) of a burglary with a phone call, in considerable agitation, saying: \u201c1 don\u2019t want it reported in THE EXAMINER.\u201d There are several considerations which we enumerated to this good Westmounter which deserve a wider audience.All have to do with citizenship in a free society.One, of course, has to do with censorship.Suppression of genuine and legitimate news, except in extreme compassionate circumstances, is anathema for both the newspaper and the society.We all give up too much if we give up the right to know.Which leads to the question: \u201cWhat is genuine and legitimate news?\" Generally, it is anything which affects the reader.We say a burglary falls into that category; you could have been the victim and are entitled to know when one occurs in your neighborhood.Conversely, what is privacy \u2014 specially in a modern, urban society?In theory, very little except by convention which says that things one does or says which affect no one beyond your immediate circle.For instance, we do not report suicides except when carried out in view of large numbers of other persons.The same goes for events within one's own control in one\u2019s home, place of work, club or the wilderness.We regard particular individuals' habits, preferences, hobbies and interests as no one else's business.That said, our position is that the consequences of one's actions or inactions which involve public services or result in public action lose their accepted blanket of privacy.Set fire to your home, however inadvertently, or murder someone in your bedroom, accidentally or otherwise, and you can expect publicity.Not so long ago a Westmount hostess with a large number of party guests lit her fireplace in such a way as to get a bad back-draught which filled the place with smoke.Naturally, the Fire Brigade was called, which made it a public matter quite apart form the fact that there were many witnesses \u2014 who would have seen censorship if, as requested, the incident had been omitted from our log of fire calls.Likewise, this week's burglary.We feel intensely for the victim of such crime, which is truly a violation of one\u2019s person and home.Yet the police were involved.The public pay for and support the police.Furthermore, there are a lot of other residents vitally interested to know, if only to take extra precautions to prevent break and entry of their own premises.Such things are community as well as personal concerns.The local community newspaper is perhaps more prone than any other media to complaints of alleged invasion of privacy.from persons who have not thought through the consequences of suppression of such things.It would be a rather sterile-appearing community where no crimes, no fires, no accidents \u2014 in short, anything unpleasant \u2014 went unreported.In fact, it would be a rather dangerous community into which to venture unaware, And where would one draw the line?What other public services, including government itself, might go on in such a place unobserved? SR ARS ame our M.P.Hon.Donald J.Johnston says.HABA.Western travels THIS past week, the Liberal leadership campaign took me out west, to the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.I was very encouraged by the new willingness among the people of those provinces to consider fresh alternatives to their many concerns.I sense many western Canadians are tired of the extreme polari- ty\u2014either right or left\u2014 in their provincial politics.Many are very interested in listening to ideas that help bridge that gap, and to get on with the job of expanding our economic recovery.This is particularly true in Manitoba.The French language issue is only the most apparent example of the sharp differences between the provincial NDP and Conservative parties.Manitobans are looking for more reasonable, less doctrinaire voices in the leadership of their cultural, social, and economic interests.I spoke about this need during my time in Winnipeg.Otto Lang, the former minister of transport, and his wife Adrian were kind enough to host a reception for young Liberals in Manitoba, and I met with more senior members of the party, later that same day.Both groups were very anxious to talk about new ideas, fresh attitudes and creative approaches.They sense a breakthrough for the middle ground in western Canadian politics, and I was caught up in their excitement and optimism.The need to re-examine I spoke about the need to examine our current government programs with an eye to improve them.I believe we can manage our government more effectively with the goal of forging a leaner, more flexible operation.I believe we can create a better social program, one in which more help is available to those who need help most and less money wasted in delivery costs.And I believe we can priorize government expenditures in such a way that we can improve our services without displacing private initiatives.I wound up my four-day western swing with a keynote address to the University of Alberta's productivity conference in Edmonton.I encouraged the more than 500 participants to consider productivity from the perspective of my colleagues in cabinet: to look at the nation as a whole.We must encourage a Canada-wide effort to close the productivity gap between us and our trading partners.To do this, we must again be open to merging new methods with good old common sense.Richard D.French says.RAN NAAR Our MNA gets mad I am not known as one of the premier street-fighters of the national assembly.I am not one of the tough guys, not one of the partisans, maybe practising politics in my second language makes me into a much nicer fellow in the national assembly than I am in fact.Whether by choice or by necessity.I mostly take the high road.This is not necessarily a reason to congratulate me, unless of course you are a Péquiste.I mention this because something strange came over me last week in the house.I got mad.Not spectacularly, theatrically, and artificially mad, like many of my colleagues.Not pathologically and demagogically mad, like the minister of agriculture; but frustratedly, viscerally angry.What did it was the government's failure to

on April 18, there will be one on self-help; and on April 25, there will be one on community action.\u201cThey'll be looking at more concrete things and what can be done to help the people in them,\" said Ms.Macdonald.All workshops will begin at 7:30 pm and are open to those from 18 to 30, whether or not they attended last week's forum.Dog attacks young women A dog reportedly tore the blue jeans of two young women Tuesday night last week in front of 6 Weredale Park, according to police.The dog, a Doberman living on Stayner street, allegedly jumped on the girls but did not hurt them.The incident took place about 9:30 pm.TILE LY - pei ) 487-4791 Nicole Powell 935-7320 Joan and Brian McCallum S > ] [ I a if 3255 Cedar\u2014$425,000 932-0016 634 I OWE $165, 000 937-8383 If this is the right time for you to buy or sell, contact one of our experienced sales representatives for all your real estate needs.John Aird Jane Allan Barbara Besner-Kitman Diane Bujold Joann Colby Isabelle Côté Julia Daniels Brien Foster Aubrey Kinsman Eva Klein Valerie Kyle Josephine Lantier James R.Quinlan, r.r.1 4145 Sherbrooke St.W.932-1112 933-9184 Joan McCallum 935-8154 487-4791 Brian McGuigan 937-8383 937-6448 Joan McGuigan 937-8383 481-5473 Les McLennan 937-1188 935-8625 Brigitte Meagher 486-9438 934-1767 Jean Murray 935-7320 487-0071 Elizabeth Paul 481-9915 488-7980 Yvettc Perras 342-5937 937-3100 Nicole Powell 932-0016 489-5509 Gerda Spies 933-5273 737-6911 Georgette Strous 934-1655 932-0567 Mary Ann Turner 765-0331 Manager WESTMOUNT, CORNER GREENE PE a 4 10 - The -Westmount Examiner, Thursday, April 12, 1984 HOME IMPROVEMENT LEVOLOR RIVIERA BLINDS AVAILABLE IN 200 COLORS Les Stores Venitiens Connor (1984) Ltée (formerly Connor Venetian Blinds Ltd.) 5 Union St., Ville St-Pierre LARGE SELECTION OF VERTICAL BLINDS Serving Montreal with quality window coverings for over 35 years 483-2470 24-hour telephone service FREE ESTIMATES GLADLY GIVEN WITHOUT OBLIGATION CLEANING CARPETS ® WALLS AND CEILINGS FLOORS ® WINDOWS CHESTERFIELDS PAINTING AIR DUCTS CARPENTRY DONE ON FENCES AND GALLERIES ALSO BRICK REPAIR Babij & Duggan CLEANING CONTRACTORS INC.4253 St.Catherine St.W., Suite 3 933-1935 FREE ESTIMATES 5 Theatre suffered the indignity of internal demolition and the removal of its distinctive marquee last week to make room for a new occupant.A Kane's drug store will soon be in business there.Bid accepted for RCMP work Horizon Mechanical Ltd.of Montreal has been awarded a contract of $173,000 to perform alterations to the energy systems at the RCMP building, 4225 Dor- chester boulevard in Westmount.The Hon.Roméo LeBlanc, minister of public works, announced last week that the company had submitted the lowest qualifying bid of nine bidders, the highest being $197,500.The work, expected to last five months, involves the installation of a large-capacity cooler and the modification of the existing unit in order to obtain energy savings.Minh Tran of Public Works Canada is project manager.Another contract was awarded to Couvertures Bourassa Inc.for the installation of four new roofs on the warehouse at 740 Bel-Air street in St.Henri.The Montreal firm bid $124,390.20% off, April only WITH MINIMUM PURCHASE OF 18 FEET OR MORE OF SHELVING ventilated shelving and basket drawer systems WE MAXIMIZE CLOSET SPACE Monday-Thursday by appointment, Friday open 10 am-5 pm Saturday by appointment 488-6522 ONCEBTS CLOSET DESIGNERS GOODMAN PLUMBING is offering for the first time super spring specials for the month of April 10% DISCOUNT on labor and material on any service call on presentation of this ad NO TRAVELLING TIME CHARGE GOODMAN PLUMBING & HEATING (CANADA) INC.200 Ronald Drive, Montreal West 486-5881 ® servicing the area since 1971 © six service trucks ® 24-hour service ® residential, commercial, industrial 484-4987 484-2330 98 Westminster N.Montreal West HOME IMPROVEMENTS PLAYROOMS KITCHEN * EXTENSIONS BATHROOMS ¢ BALCONIES, NEW OR REPAIRED ROOFING, CEMENT WORK AND PAINTING A COMPLETE SERVICE FOR CARPETS: CLEANING WALLS: WASHING AND PAINTING FLOORS: SANDING, VARATHANE PAINTING: EXTERIOR/INTERIOR INSURANCE CLAIMS SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGE Come visit our showroom and see wallpaper and vertical and horizontal blinds GREAT BEAR BUILDING & HOME SERVICES CLEANS BRICK AND STONE DOES NOT DEFACE MASONRY LIKE SANDBLASTING DOES.ALSO BIODEGRADABLE.oe EXTERIOR CLEANING!

referring to a discussion of traffic regulations, said directors had \u201ctalked for the last half-hour about laws that are completely unenforceable,\u201d suggesting that a no-smoking by-law might also be hard to enforce.Mr.Moore said the situation called for good manners, rather than good signs and termed the Toronto situation \u201cludicrous.\u201d Another director, Judy Mappin, said she thought such a law was enforceable.It is up to proprietors in stores to enforce it, she said.Local theme for annual WMA meeting The Westmount Municipal Association's annual general meeting May 2 likely will focus on local issues, after the WMA directors discussed the format for the meeting in Victoria Hall Monday night.An executive suggestion that the meeting focus on the theme of English Quebec was discussed, but directors expressed a preference for an evening of local issues to be attended by locally elected officials.The WMA's original plan for a series of ward meetings, culminating in the annual general meeting, was discarded several weeks ago when efforts were concentrated on saving Westmount\u2019s police station.James Wright, WMA president, said \u201cthere really are no burning issues,\u201d when discussing the meeting theme.Barbara Drury suggested that the meeting could be used for a discussion of the anglophone situation in Quebec.À recent Radio-Quebec television program, \u2018\u201cTo Be or Not to Be,\u2019 might be shown and used to spark debate, she said.The hour-long program featured a series of interviews, in French, with members of Quebec's anglophone community, including several Westmounters.Mrs.Drury described it as a response to the publication of the book The Anglo Guide to Survival in Quebec.Directors agreed that such a program might prove interesting, but asked that it be considered for another meeting, rather than for the annual meeting.A visitor to the meeting suggested public transportation was a \u201cburning issue\u2019 which directors might consider as the theme for the meeting.John Udy, another visitor, agreed.Graham Pugh, a director, said councillors could be invited to discuss their work since election to office.Mr.Wright said such a meeting with elected officials could provide a forum for citizens in \u201can atmosphere less formal than city hall.\u201d Bob Bassett is chairman of a committee which will finalize arrangements for the annual meeting.girls, too.And it could be that the infatuation never wears off.It certainly appeared that way Monday night when the parents of this year's class of Junior Firefighters were treated to an evening at the Westmount fire hall on Stanton street.Mothers and fathers were so intrigued with the apparatus, they spent more time touring it than had been expected.The new giant combination aerial-pumper truck was the big attraction.Parents wanted to know how much it had cost, how it worked and whether the brigade had a special emergency team for disaster-type situations.Even Mayor Brian Gallery, who was attending as the father of a Junior Firefighter the third time around, noted that there was always something new to learn no matter how many times one visited the fire station.Deputy Chief William Tim- mons, who conducted the tour, answered so many questions on the truck\u2019s operation that he finally provided parents with a demonstration.The truck was driven outside, red flashers revolving and the aerial ladder was raised and pivoted.The ladder manoeuvre was accomplished in a scant few minutes on the automated truck using only one man.A couple of fathers donned fire helmets and coats and then everyone went upstairs for a demonstration on how to slide down the brass pole.There were quips about who would take the first slide.Someone suggested Mr.Gallery take atry.But it's not as easy as it seems, they were told, and can be dangerous if not done properly.They peered down the hole.It seemed a long way to the bottom of the pole and no one pressed for \u2018a turn.After that, parents joined their Junior Firefighter children in the lecture room and watched a film on emergency evacuation procedures.Lieut.Barry Coates, the course's instructor, provided explanations.Same hours Business hours during the week before Easter have not been changed by Quebec law, according to the ministry of industry, trade and commerce.Bill 59, deposited in the national assembly in December, would have allowed stores to remain open each evening during the week before Easter, but the bill has not yet been sanctioned.Two teenagers take bicycles from youths Two young Westmount boys left their bicycles unlocked for a moment while they went into a shop Wednesday last week only to see them disappear with two older youths.The bikes together were valued at $700, police said.The incident was one of three stolen bike reports in Westmount made last week.The double bike theft took place at St.Catherine street and Abbott avenue.The victims, aged 10 and 11 years, said they spotted two boys, 15 or 16 years old, take off on the bikes.One vehicle was a $325 Norco model, the other, a BMX Diamond bike worth $415.The victims used a pay phone to call the operator who they understood would call police.They were found still waiting some time later by a public safety patrol who contacted police for them.It was believed that the operator had not called police, officials said.The day before, a black 10-speed Peugeot valued at $300 had disappeared from a home on Belmont avenue.Another bicycle

OURMNA.Continued from page five year, I warned the minister of communications that I would not continue the charade of analyzing estimates 48 hours after taking delivery of a 400-page briefing book on the subject.Proper assimilation and preparation would take at least seven days, and the minister agreed to meet this requirement, which he felt was reasonable.Alas, this year, the government failed to deliver.I came within a hair of denying the unanimous consent required to begin the study of the estimates.I also delayed the analysis of the estimates of the department of communications, in particular, for several days.I did these things in the name of every beleaguered backbencher who was ever trampled over and baffled by the bulldozer of the executive.The best thing we can do to restore parliament to its legitimate statute is to be honest \u2014 and YOU SAY.Continued from page four steps\u2019\u2019 other municipalities take.\u2018The city has decided that it is just not

themselves.Budget 84 is designed to allow us to capitalize on this climate and to provide the economic opportunity and security all Canadians seek.A Fair Tax System Taxpayers\u2019 rights are being strengthened, particularly with regard to assessments, penalties and interest charges.And, quarterly payments are being eliminated for some 550,000 individual Canadians.Greater Pension Security Women, senior citizens and farmers in particular, will benefit from increased pension security.New pension legislation will allow all Canadians better opportunities to save for their retirement.Farm Sale \u2014 Tax Savings In order to encourage the continuation of family farms, new legislation will be introduced that will help farmers to provide for their retirement adequately.The Mortgage Rate Protection Program This program will be introduced to enable homebuyers and homeowners to buy protection against extraordinary increases in mortgage rates.$180 Million Reduction in Federal Taxes for Small Business The net result of simplification of small business tax laws, as well as new initiatives and provisions for growing small businesses, will mean a tax saving for small and medium sized

Los Angeles Olympic Games this summer to raise funds to help crippled children walk.And two of Westmount's \u201cfinest\u201d have joined forces as co- chairmen of a gala sports banquet to raise funds in connection with the relay race.Mayor Brian Gallery and former Westmount MNA George Springate have already brought in $152,000 in ticket sales for the banquet June 4 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.Only eight tables at $1,000 each still are available.The event is one of several fundraisers which the two men hope will turn over more than $250,000 to the Quebec Society for Disabled Children.The events are planned to allow the Montreal-area population to encourage the 15 MUC police runners before the start of their relay race and contribute to disabled children at the same time.Other Westmounters on the gala banquet committee are Victor Drury, Dan Haggerty and Bob Lambertucci.\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a successful, fun evening,\u201d says Mayor Gallery, who admits he\u2019s \u201cnever too busy for a good cause.\u201d But he credits George Springate for launching the entire Montreal- Los Angeles relay idea.The story of how the relay run got off the ground is best told by Mr.Springate, who was a police officer for 11 years.\u201cIt\u2019s a great story,\u201d he begins.Last November, 15 MUC policemen told him they intended to run to the Olympics but they needed money for expenses.\u2018So child could walk\u2019 \u201cI told them if they agreed to run so a crippled child could walk some day, I'd raise the money.\u201d Mr.Springate then went to the Quebec Society for Disabled Children who agreed to meet the expenses of $85,000.\u201cThe next morning at 7:30 I met two Westmounters for breakfast at the YMCA on Drummond street.They were Victor Drury and Brian Gallery.I told them I needed their help.\u201d And from there, the idea mushroomed into a combined sports celebrity - media- sponsored drive for funds.The gala banquet, which will wind up the events, will feature a head table composed of \u2018\u2018hall-of- famers\u201d\u2019 from the world of sports.Included will be Ron Turcotte, the jockey who won the Triple Crown on Secretariat

own \u201croast\u2019\u2019 several years ago organized by Mr.Gallery.Both men hope that when all tickets are sold and expenses paid, the banquet will have raised $110,000 toward the total objective of between $250,000 to $300,000.Other activities planned include a giant spaghetti dinner at the Olympic Velodrome May 26 and an original auction sale by Salmon Trout Meuniére fried zucchini and
