changes next September.The PSBGM has been considering proposals to close West- mount Park School and to change Westmount High to a French language secondary school.Urgences Santé public meeting next Thursday By LAUREEN SWEENEY A PUBLIC consultation meeting being held for Westmounters next Thursday at Victoria Hall by Urgences Santé comes one year after the Westmount Fire Brigade ambulance became a first responder unit under the provincial ambulance network.The brigade's mini-pumper just has been converted and designated as the first re- sponder, or rescue unit, a direct outcome of its new purpose providing emergency first aid treatment rather than ambulance transport.Cases of \u2018walking wounded\u201d now are being taken to hospital by Public Security patrol car.A number of calls logged by the fire unit to Westmount homes and public places over the holidays to assist Urgences Santé personnel shows at a glance how the system now works.A detailed explanation of the emergency medical system wil] be outlined to the public at the special meeting next Thursday starting at 7:30 pm.\u2018We urge all Westmount residents to attend this meeting,\" says Ald.Peter Duffield, the Continued on page 11 At a meeting on Dec.19 though, the board announced that it would wait until Jan.8 to decide which schools would be targeted for changes.Chairman Allan Butler said the decision was being delayed because of the pending passage of Bill 3, which proposed reorganization of the administration of education in Quebec.Opened door The passage of Bill 3 on Dec.20 opened the door for the provincial government to begin the reorganization of school boards along linguistic lines.This could mean that over the next two or three years, the PSBGM and the Montreal Catholic School Board would be replaced by French- and English-language boards.The same day.a ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada found parts of Bill 57, a previous Quebec education bill, to be unconstitutional.Education

street, picked up the dynamite on the northwest corner Dec.18 about 11 pm and kept it in the car until the next day, when he took it to local MUC police station 23.The origin of the dynamite was not known.Sherbrooke street permanently, according to the agenda.By press time, only three items had been prepared for the agenda, delayed by the holidays.The closing of Prince Albert by by-law is a necessary step before starting work as proposed by plans from the Architectural and Planning Commission, city officials said.The meeting also is expected to reschedule the date for the sale of immoveable properties for unpaid taxes from Jan.14 to Jan.30.This resulted from holiday delays at the registry office regarding sending out required notices by law in connection with the sale.The

weather forecast for this week and last on the front page of our Christmas issue was, as is more often than not the case, uncannily accurate.This week's heavy snowfall, blowing snow and cold were foretold dead-on.With variations, this is typical of this time of year in unofficial and official forecasts and in actuality.Severe weather generally may be expected in these parts over the holiday period.We mention this in background to the inexplicable City of Westmount performance once again this week in dealing with a post-storm cleanup.Correction: it is explicable, but no one in authority in either this or the previous administration has bothered to explain to beleaguered citizens, in precise terms which resident taxpayers and tenants might assess, the city's rationale.There is an obvious reason behind the absence of snow-removal equipment and crews during some periods of need.It is when they might occasion considerable overtime work.It is known as budget- beating, contract-bind, or both.A deliberate attack by the city administration on snow-clearing costs was made several years ago.Once the exemplar for all municipalities in the Montreal region, Westmount used to be ready for and got out to clear the white stuff virtually from the start of its falling.The result was a spic and span city very soon after the storm ended, day, night, weekends or holidays.This admittedly was an expensive practice, but undeniably appreciated and in the eyes of many indispensable to the maintaining of Westmount's standards of excellence in all departments.Citizens were aware it was costly but evidently were prepared to pay for it in their tax bills.There was a large element of civic pride in being able to move around a well-kept city in winter when all around us, in Montreal specially, relative chaos reigned on the streets and sidewalks.Now, sadly, that is reversed.On Wednesday.24 hours after the big New Year's Day storm, Westmount looked like a disaster area.There had been little more done than quick passes of the ploughs and some clearing of corners so that pedestrians could, at least, slither across the intersections \u2014 though, some doubted they could make it over the treacherous, unsanded.polished ice along the blocks between.This was a major storm.The ploughs built great, wide windrows out from the curbs, cutting traffic lanes even.on main thoroughfares.Many side streets were little more than single-track and parking, on-street, off lanes and even in private driveways, was rendered difficult if not impossible.Instead of taking advantage of the bright, sunny Wednesday and the relatively light traffic of post-holiday (still holiday for some, including city workers), hardly a public works vehicle or man was to be seen anywhere in Westmount.Maybe, some citizens thought, the city was marshalling its forces for a major overnight blitz, to make the outdoors within our boundaries habitable in time for Thursday morning's return to normal rush-hour and weekday traffic.Not a bit of it.After nightfall, along St.Catherine street, those expensive and little-used orange \u2018Snow Parking\u2019 lights were turmed on.Not the steady signal prohibiting parking after 7 pm but, alas, the flashing mode which means work would commence only sometime after 7 am Thursday! It remained to be seen what mess and chaos would ensue.We and most Westmounters share with their mayor and aldermen their admirable, on-going concern to keep municipal expenses down to the essential.But what is essential?We think snow removal ranks at least as important as garbage removal, or an excellent conservatory, or good recreation facilities and programs, or a fine public library.In the wake of a heavy storm, we would wager that most citizens would place snow clearance and the making of pavements negotiable and safe above all the rest; at least, until the job is done.Unfortunately, once the task is accomplished (and it still is in the end well and thoroughly done in Westmount) people tend to forget how badly they were served when action was needed but neglected.Penny-pinching is a relative term, and snow removal even on straight time is no matter of pennies.Yet there is no question that this is precisely what the city administration is doing: withholding essential service, when the cities and towns around us appear to have a far more balanced view of economy versus what must and should be done.This is the telling point, despite the contrary argument of at least one alderman in a similar, shamefully slow clean-up last winter.Wednesday morning a man came into our office from Pointe Claire where he said that city already was back to normal.We got a similar message from the Town of You Where are hooded figures which adorned the Square?Sir: Where, oh where is that beautiful sculpture by Sylvia Lefkovitz of the five hooded figures that used to stand above the entrance of Westmount Square?It was the jewel in the crown of those three dark buildings.1 miss it! Susan Clarkson 77 Staynor street WESTMOUNT H3Z 1W3 Ukraine, Quebec analogy is claimed misleading Sir: Your apology for confusing Ukraine with Russia will be taken as a welcome gesture not only by Ukrainians but by all your readers who appreciate precise and correct terminology on Eastern Europe.Treating all of the U.S.S.R.as \u201cRussia\u201d may still be part of the uninformed popular usage, but it has no place in serious journalism, and brings no credit to the newspapers which perpetuate it.Your implied comparison of ultra nationalist Quebecers, who dislike being called Canadians, with presumably ultra nationalist Ukrainians, who resent being called Russians, is most misleading.There are many analogies between Ukraine and Quebec, but the terminological usage to which you refer is not one of them.If \u201cCanada\u201d were the proper name of only the Province of Ontario, and the whole confederation were officially known as, say, the \u201cConfederation of the North,\" then the similarities would be closer.Then Quebec could not be said to be a part of Canada, just like Ukraine is not a part of Russia.A more meaningful comparison of the Ukraine-Russia-U.S.S.R.terminological triangle can be found in Scotland- England-U.K.Edinburgh and Glasgow are cities in Scotland; they are also in the United Kingdom.Kiev and Kharkiv are in Ukraine and in the Soviet Union.To place Edinburgh in England would be ignorance, as is the location of Kiev in Russia.One does not have to be an ultra nationalist) } Ukrainian to resent being called a Russian.A simple rule of thumb can prevent errors and unintended offense: when in doubt as to whether a geographical location is in Continued on next page Rights and road safety THE holiday reports of carnage on the roads, close to home and elsewhere, provided a stark backdrop to two items in the news earlier this week.First, we heard from macho \u2018\u2018Texas North,\u201d otherwise known as Alberta, that it has reluctantly, kicking and screaming become the penultimate province to adopt an automobile seatbelt law.It was startling enough to hear that Lougheed land has only just now got around to this fundamentally sound requirement of its motorists.What shook us, however, was to find that it applies only to restraining seats for children under five years of age or under a certain very modest low body weight.The rest of the country will be waiting to Mount Royal Wednesday afternoon where full crews were working flat-out.Even little Dunbar avenue, outside the office of our sister paper, The Weekly Post, was immaculate.And Montreal, bless 'em, when we drove in from the country early Wednesday morning, had a massive troop of machines and men well along with the job on Upper Lachine road.Imagine our chagrin, even shame, upon reaching Claremont and St.Catherine at de Maisonneuve, proudly posted as the border of Westmount, to find it a city too parsimonious to make at least a token showing against the performance of its neighbors.We are angry, not just because little Hillside avenue outside our office was narrowed to one slithering lane and the sidewalks like a newly-surfaced skating rink all Wednesday and into Thursday and customers and clients were saying that coming in to see us was not worth the effort and the risk to limbs.We are angry, rather, because of the bloody-mindedness which has prevailed at city hall in this matter, starting half a dozen years ago, and perpetuated through several renegotiated labor contracts, even unto the present administration without improvement; nay a worsening.Who decided the day after New Year's Day was to be yet another non-working day, anyway?hear why those of riper years \u2014 say, six years and up \u2014 are considered somehow immune from becoming projectiles within or from a moving car when said vehicle hits some object which brings it to a sudden or, more aptly put, \u2018dead halt.Perhaps older Albertans are of tougher, more indestructible stuff than the rest of us mortals.We suspect this attitude may spring from the spirit of another piece of grim nonsense coming to us from the great republic to the south, where an outfit called the American Civil Liberties Union is protesting that the practice of law enforcement agencies stopping vehicles to check for drinking drivers is, to use that U.S.shibboleth, \u201cunconstitutional.\u201d As much as we admire Americans\u2019 respect for the rule of law, starting with \u201cThe\u201d constitution and its various amendments, we do think they get carried away at times \u2014 such as they did with the one that was supposed to prohibit the consumption of alcohol and, by the way, materially assisted the founding of at least one of Westmount's great family fortunes.We fail to see, however, why the ACLU should view repeal of prohibition or whatever as establishing the right of persons in charge of that most lethal of weapons, a motor vehicle, to drink and drive without any check on his or her fitness to do so.After all, if it is proper to stop cars to check drivers\u2019 licences or for vehicle safety, it would seem all the more important to check the drivers themselves \u2014 if only to be sure that they are not a hazard to other road users or pedestrians, whatever they may be capable of doing to themselves.Intrusions of governments and their agencies into the rights and freedoms of individuals are to be resisted when they = serve no over-riding interest of society in general.But many such intrusions are patently necessary.Requiring seat belts and detecting drunk drivers in a modern wheeled society would seem to rank high among such priorities.Maybe our Alberta brothers and sisters will come to regard other provinces as no less concerned for individual rights because of their concern for safety and good sense.AND I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: \u201cGivemea light that I may tread safely into the unknown.\" And he replied: \u2018\u201cGo out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God.That shall be ta you better than light and safer than a known way.\u201d \u2014 Minnie Haskins in The Desert Hon.Donald J.Johnston says.Reforming Parliament SITTING now as a member of the Opposition, I am even more convinced of the need for a complete overhaul of our parliamentary institutions.During the leadership campaign, I argued strongly for immediate changes in the rules governing the House of Commons.The object is to give a meaningful role to backbenchers on both sides of the House.In truth, it is more stimulating to be in Opposition as a backbencher than in government, if only because of frequent participation in question period.Prime Minister Mulroney will be hard pressed to maintain the interest of a large majority of the 211 Progressive Conservative members once the novelty of being a new elected MP has worn off.There are many able MPs whose talents are not being used.They should be.Whom to leave out The prime minister himself noted recently that one of his most difficult decisions was deciding whom to leave out of cabinet.But if the role of individual MPs were to be enhanced, then the importance of being in cabinet would be greatly diminished.There is a joint committee currently studying parliamentary reform.I hope that members of that committee will concentrate on strengthening the role of individual MPs.If the committee brings forward solid recommendations for that purpose, the government should act on them without delay.The house would be greatly improved as a forum of debate and decisions and Canadians wenld gain much more respect for the work of parliamentarians.Richard D.French says.End-of-session abuses WHEN a minister gets a majority in a sovereign parliament to play with, the citizenry can only pray for a certain sense of restraint and respect for principle, the better to rise above the temptations of partisan politics and (normally worse) of administrative expediency.The traditional end-of-session legislative fire sale this December produced a couple of good examples.They were both in Bill 81, a bill to amend the highway safety code and other transport legislation.The first example: a clause under which all of the regulations adopted by the Régie de l'Assurance Automobile are declared to be part of the safety code itself.Hold on to your rights! What this means is that whatever the appointed members of the Régie decide, it has the force of statute law.The government invites Parliament to \u201c confer its sovereign law-making power - upon a group of non-accountable quasi- anonymous commissioners.This means that appeals focusing on the legality of the regulations can no longer be entertained since the \u2018\u2018regulations\u2019 in question are invested with the full measure of Parliament's power to do anything but turn a man into a woman.Clause retroactive The second example: another clause to apply retroactively to December 1977, which would rob thousands of accident victims of their right to indemnity for pain and suffering after automobile injuries.A recent decision by the Quebec Court of Appeal confirmed these rights, but the minister was unconvinced.Presto! A piece of retroactive legislation, the bane of the constitutionalists every: where, to set things right.Right, that is, for everyone but those accident victims whose In 1985 snowflakes will be caught here before they hit the ground; there will be no more parking problems in Westmount, all power and phone lines will go underground; frequent buses will serve all parts of the city; a year-round swimming pool will be built: we'll separate from the MUC \u2014 and maybe Quebec.and no more local taxes! The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 3.1985 - 5 Russia or in one of the other 14 Soviet republics, use the term *\u201cU.S.S.R.\u201d or \u201cSoviet Union.\u201d Roman Serbyn 576 Cote St.Antoine road WESTMOUNT H3Y 2K6 Repeal CBC cuts here, Paterson urges Masse A copy of the following letter has been sent to THE EXAMINER.The Honourable Marcel Masse Minister of Communications Parliament Buildings Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N2 Dear Mr.Minister: The stories that have appeared in the press in the last two weeks relating to budget cuts at the CBC, affecting English- language services in Quebec, are alarming to the English-speaking people of this province.They should be equally alarming to all Canadians.Having read the stories, 1 personally investigated further to verify their accuracy recourse to legislatively mandated benefits has just gone up in smoke.To this government, they are just a nuisance, just an occasion for a little end- of-session abuse of legislative principles.Continued from previous page and have come to the conclusion that not only a grave injustice is being perpetrated, but an injustice that will cause long-term damage to Canada as a whole.Having worked with you personally for three years in the cause of national unity and attended weekly meetings with you for at least a year, I know your personal views in depth on the subject.I therefore realize that a plea will not fall on deaf ears and I know you will take the opportunity to re- investigate when I lay before you not only my reaction but the reaction and perception of hundreds of others in this province to the events of recent date.I understand that a total of 10 people have been laid off by the television news program \u2018Newswatch.\u2019 This includes five reporters and two editorial assistants, plus a sportscaster, weathercaster and announcer.Furthermore, one producer in each of drama, entertainment, current affairs and fine music, and a sports editor, have either been cut or will not be replaced for CBC English radio.Thirty of 225 staff positions overall in the English side of the Quebec region having been cut, many areas outside Montreal will be without any service.The impact of such cuts is clear.Four reporters in Montreal will be left to cover, in one shift, the preparation of the program Newswatch.Tuesday's tragic gas explosion, for example, would normally require two to three reporters, leaving only one to cover all the rest of the news in Montreal.An outstanding service, both on radio and TV, which now exists throughout the Province, equivalent to those emanating from other cities, is effectively being emasculated.As has already been underlined in some editorials, Newswatch will have approximately half the staff of the similar service in Winnipeg, and yet it is supposed to serve an English-speaking population that is greater.Undoubtedly, Mr.Minister, the president of the CBC, and other administrative officers in the corporation, have had a hand in deciding where the cuts will be made.Nevertheless, as the effect of their deei- sions has an overriding impact on the entire English-speaking people of this province, and I submit on the whole of Canada, it is a political decision which now requires your intervention.As you know, a number of organizations with which ! have been associated have been actively involved with the Franco- Manitobans, ACFO and other similar organizations across the country to fight.either before provincial legislatures or the courts, for services for French-speualin.: people outside Quebec.A great deal of pro gress has heen made in the rest of the coun try in this regard.No one will suggest thi! these services should in any way be reduc ed.But neither will the body politic of Continued on page 16 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 3, 1985 In Weshnaunt Examiner Forty-five Years Ago January 4, 1940 \u201cH, S.Ross, K.C., D.C.L., well known to Montrealers and readers of THE EXAMINER in particular, has received a personal note from the popular Shirley Temple thanking him for forwarding a copy of THE EXx- AMINER to her.Mr.Ross made mention in his column in THE EXAMINER, \u2018The Forum,\u2019 of an interview Miss Temple had with the President.The letter follows: Beverly Hills, California.Dear Mr.Ross: Thank you ever so much for sending me THE EXAMINER.It made me very happy to receive it, and I am going to put the little item about myself in my scrapbook.Sincerely, Shirley Temple.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago January 6, 1950 \u201cJohn Smithers, St.Catherine street west near Greene avenue, will celebrate 60 years in his footwear business Tuesday, still active in the store.A clerk and messenger boy in his youth for A.M.Featherstone and Co., Mr.Smithers opened his own store on Greene avenue January 10, 1890, turning the corner the following year to St.Catherine street.He remembers that at that time the old horse cars came only as far as Atwater, and to Greene in winter.The only neighboring buildings were the corner post office and a few homes.Besides the usual shoes, he carried bicycle livery which was later replaced by hosiery.Mrs.Smithers died 26 years ago.and the elderly shoe merchant lives on Lansdowne avenue with his daughter.Two sons, Albert and George of N.D.G., work with him at the store, a third, Russell, is with the city of Westmount and a fourth, Gordon, is with the Bell Telephone Company.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago December 31, 1959 \u201c \u2018A city the size of Westmount should have a swimming pool,\u2019 maintains Irving Backler, a vice-president of the Westmount Municipal Association and nominee for one of the two city council seats which become vacant in 1960.\u2018The only swimming available in Westmount is provided by the YMCA pool,\u2019 he pointed out, \u2018and that cannot and should not be expected to provide for the needs of the many children and adults in the city.\" Fifteen Years Ago January 8.1970 \u201cThe permits department at city hall is contemplating an illuminated holder for a permit number, photograph and name of the driver inside Westmount-licensed taxicabs.The device would be similar to that in cabs in the City of Montreal and other neighboring municipalities.At present, local taxi drivers carry on their persons a pocket card, which can be seen only on demand by their fares and then only if the driver chooses to show it.The plan is being weighed in the light of running complaints from citizens, difficult to run down because of evasiveness or indifference of some cab owners, of badly maintained and dirty vehicles and unkempt, discourteous and bad drivers.\u201d Five Years Ago January 3.1980 \u201cDetectives are continuing their investigation into a robbery at the home of Constantin Barcados, 486 Mount Pleasant avenue, on Dec.19, during which he was shot in the rib cage by one of four masked intruders who in turn was stabbed in the leg with a sword by Mr.Barcados.The suspects made good their escape with a small amount of jewelry only minutes before police arrived on the scene at 7:58 pm.Mr.Barcados, 55, was taken to the Montreal! General Hospital suffering a superficial gunshot wound and a cut hand.He was released seven hours later.\u201d Cceanog By JOAN CAPRÉOL DR.MAXWELL Dunbar has been professor emeritus of oceanography at McGill University since 1982.That means he keeps an office and a laboratory in the Eaton building on the upper campus of the university.At the time of this interview, Dr.Dunbar was in his lab seeing what the cod were eating at Ungava Bay last year.Dr.Dunbar founded the Institute of Oceanography in 1963.*\u2018It\u2019s a graduate department,\u2019 he said.\u2018All students \u2014 about 30 at the moment \u2014 are going towards a master\u2019s or a doctorate.\u201cOceanography is the study of the sea from all points of view.It includes physical, biological, geological and chemical oceanography.\u201cThe point of having an Institute of Oceanography is that all these four parts work together or are interdependent, so we include on our staff two physicists, two geologists and four biologists.\u201d Dr.Grant Ingram and Dr.Elton Pounder are the physicists.Dr.Bruno d'Anglejan and Dr.Reinhardt Hesse are the geologists.Dr.John Lewis, the director of the institute, Dr.Dunbar, Dr.Henry Reiswig and Dr.Brian Marcotte are the biological oceanographers.Work in Arctic \u201cWe do our work in Arctic waters, the Gulf of St.Lawrence and in the Caribbean,\u201d said Dr.Dunbar.\u201cMcGill has a research station in the Barbados.\u201cI've worked all my life in the North \u2014 in Greenland, the Canadian Eastern Arctic, in Alaska and in the Gulf of St.Lawrence.\u2018Montreal is a good centre for this because air travel is available, north, east and south.\u201cI've worked mainly on marine plankton.That's the life in the sea that is the basis of the rest of the system.The size range of the plankton is from the microscopic to about five centimetres.That includes plant and animal plankton.I've worked also on the life within the sea ice itself.\u201cFrom those beginnings with the plankton, I developed a study of the structure and evolution of the whole polar, marine ecosystem.That means the totality of life in polar waters.\u201d Dr.Dunbar has published over 100 papers and three books which are Eastern Arctic Waters, Ecological Development in Polar Regions and Environment and Good Sense, which is about environmental pollution in Canada.He also edited two books \u2014 Polar Oceans and Marine Production Mechanisms.Was Canadian consul During the war, Dr.Dunbar was Canadian consul in Greenland from 1941 to 1946.\"Greenland is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen,\u201d said Dr.Dunbar.\u201cI was born in Scotland and Greenland resembles Scotland somewhat with treeless scenery.\u201d Immediately after the war, Dr.Dunbar developed the Fisheries Research Board, Eastern Arctic Investigations.It grew and he gave up the directorship in 1955.\u201cThis is what developed into the Arctic Biological Station at Ste.Anne de Bellevue.The federal government is now proposing to close that station down.I think it is a tragic decision because it will break up an excellent co-operative team of Arctic marine scientists.\u201cI have been close to it for all its life.Many of our students have worked with that group.The government would save approximately $300,000 a year but at the same time they are proposing to spend $40 million on a new oceanographic laboratory at Mont Joli.That laboratory will not pay much attention to the Arctic.\u201d Dr.Dunbar started in the North in 1935 in Greenland as a member of an Oxford University expedition.He was back in Greenland in 1936.In 1939 and 1941, he was in a government party there in the Royal Mail Ship Nascopie, which belonged to the Hudson Bay Company.In 1948, he designed the research vessel Calan ua «iw cruised the eastern Arctic fora a Maxwell Dunbar number of years.\u201cI guess the Calanus cruises were the most exciting days of my life because she is a little ship \u2014 50 feet long \u2014 and is great fun to sail.Sailed to Montreal \u201cWe sailed to Ungava Bay, Hudson Strait, Frobisher Bay and Hudson Bay.I sailed her down from Hudson Bay to Montreal in 1954 for her first refit.She hasn't been used for four years owing to lack of funding by the government.She is on her cradle at Frobisher Bay.\" Dr.Dunbar was a professor of zoology at McGill from 1946 to 1963 when he became a professor of oceanography.His honors and awards are: Guggenheim Fellowship to Denmark, 1952-53; senior research fellowship, Smithsonian

jump on Westmount, loading and removing ahead of crews in this city.Westmount snow removal crews started casting snow Wednesday, but waited until Thursday morning to remove many of the snow banks created by about 20 centimetres of snow that fell Tuesday.City public works officials say that snow was not loaded earlier because the Concorde bridge dump was closed and because some initial casting had to be carried out before the loading.\u20ac; In five other municipalities contacted by THE EXAMINER, major snow removal operations began 24 hours earlier.Snow removal crews in the Town of Mount Royal, Côte St.Luc, Outremont, St.Laurent and Pointe Claire began taking snow off the streets from as early as midnight Tuesday.Most began loading snow Wednesday morning and by yesterday had cleared snow at least from major streets.Bus riders in Westmount were forced to climb over large snow banks on major streets Thursday morning, while parking in many areas proved difficult.In most of the cities contacted, publie works officials expected to be finished with snow removal by the weekend.In Côte St.Luc, most of the job was expected to be complete by Friday.Many public works officials in the other cities said that crews had to be called in from their holidays on Tuesday and Wednesday.In Westmount, some plowing crews were on duty Tuesday, but city officials admitted that many workers could not be located because of the holiday.On Wednesday, additional workers came in, but it was not until Thursday that full crews were back on the streets.The entire snow removal operation in Westmount also is expected to be completed by the weekend.Rosse Sn CITY \u20ac Zones A OUNT I e following building permits were issued at Westmount city hall during the past two weeks: December 18

things to see or do Westmount's in the bigger city surrounding us Musical love at Centaur Love is Strange: A Courtroom Romance, written by Paul Ledoux and David Young, opens at the Centaur Theatre tonight and will continue until Jan.27.The play's original title was I Love You, Anne Murray but was changed at the request of Ms.Murray.The play is about the case of Saskatchewan farmer Robert Charles Kieling and his fanatical pursuit of Anne Murray, the singer.He was convinced that she was sending him secret messages of love through her songs.He was subsequently ordered by the court to stop bothering the singer.Direct references to the two characters also have been removed from the play and this may actually strengthen it because the emphasis will be on the central theme and not on the two personalities.Brian Richmond, the director of this production, says that the real intent of the authors is to deal with the question of how our collective reality is shaped by public fantasies.The play is described as a contemporary musical thriller.Tickets are available at the Centaur box office.Tinkering with reality The Café de la Place of Place des Arts is presenting La Manoeuvre, the French version of Lewis John Carlino\u2019s The Exercise, from Wednesday until Feb.23.It is about two actors involved in a series of improvisations that immerse them in an affair that

Orchestra will give a concert Monday, 8:30 pm, in Théâtre Maisonneuve of Place des Arts and the featured soloist will be Richard Stoltzman, described as one of the world's greatest clarinetists and

opportunity to ask questions and find out how they should go about getting emergency medical attention.\u201d The mini-pump was chosen last month to replace the salvage truck which had been in use since the old ambulance vehicle was taken off the road.\u201cThe mini-pump will be more efficient,\u201d explains Fire Chief William Timmons.Since it is also a firefighting vehicle, he points out, it will be able to fill many rescue roles.If called to the scene of a traffic accident involving injury, for instance, it also would be able to extinguish fire or flush down spilled fuel.A study of the rescue service provided on the West Island, where regular size pumps are used as Urgences Santé first _ responder vehicles, was carried out recently by Westmount fireman Earl Graham, Chief Tim- mons said.Includes photographs The report, which was submitted to city hall, includes photographs of the vehicles used and outlines services provided \u2018essentially similar to ours,\u201d he said.Westmount\u2019s first responder unit, fire engine 232, now also uses the number 840 in the Urgences Santé network.Westmount was a pioneer of community ambulance services in Canada when it inaugurated the fire brigade's ambulance as a centennial project in 1975.Once the unit came under the Urgences Santé system, as set up by provincial law, it lost its right to transport stretcher cases to hospital.Now manned by the fire brigade's emergency medical technicians, the unit is dispatched to provide initial first aid treatment until the arrival of Urgences Santé ambulances.Morning mail is hot stuff The morning\u2019s mail was hot stuff at one boutique in West- mount Square Jan.3.The letters, it seems, were pushed through the glass door by the mailman, who watched them land on a decorative spotlight and realized they were starting to burn.Since the door was locked, he was unable to remove them, fire officials report.Firefighters were called at 9 am, but when they arrived at the Victoire-Paris boutique in the concourse, they found the fire had burnt itself out.Faulty blanket burns mattress in a bedroom A smoke detector alerted a Westmount resident early Sunday morning to a mattress on fire in a bedroom believed ignited by a defective electric blanket, fire officials said.The fire at 594 Cote St.Antoine road, was one of two reported in Westmount over the holiday season.The fire was extinguished by the occupant, said fire officials who estimated damage to the bed and a rug at $500.A defective electric blanket caused another similar fire in a home on Grosvenor avenue Nov.17, 1983, resulting in damage estimated at the time as $8,000.In the latest incident, firemen under acting Platoon Chief Roger Laviolette were called to the .home about 7:05 am along with public safety officers.On arrival they reported finding a mattress and box spring had been burning but the fire had been put out.The items were removed to the back yard.In the fire the previous year, no smoke detectors were installed in the home and occupants were led to safety by a public safety officer.It was first noticed at 7:25 am.Ashes in bag thought cause of porch fire Discarded fireplace ashes were attributed by fire officials here to causing the last fire of 1984 in Westmount, after they reportedly ignited a rear porch off the kitchen at 573 Grosvenor avenue New Year's Eve.The ashes burnt through the plastic, igniting the wooden balcony and stairs in the porch resulting in damage estimated at $3,500, fire officials said.When local firefighters under Captain Gary Watson arrived at the home shortly after 5:28 pm, they extinguished the fire using a 1%-inch line from the combination aerial pumper truck.The fire was confined to the one area near the stairway to the basement.The call to the fire brigade was made by the owner, officials said.Plate picked An Ontario licence plate was reported stolen from a car parked Dec.31 at the rear of 1310 Greene avenue, according to police.The car was rented by a New York person.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 3, 1985 laza Alexis Nihon will be face-lifted in 1985.Come and realize GREAT SAVINGS at our SUPER

You Say Continued from page five Canada, if suffering from an overdose of expenditure, be cured by surgery on only one part of that body, i.e.English Quebec.The effect, on the contrary, will be to unravel the delicate balance created across this country, rather than to strengthen the unifying force of providing services from coast to coast in English and French.It is trite to say that the Quebec and Montreal scenes portray at any given point in history the ability or inability of our two major linguistic groups, and those of other languages, to work well together.It is equally self-evident that if there is no place for a healthy and vital English community in Quebec, then there is no future for Canada.For without English Quebec, we might as well separate into linguistic ghettos and live in isolation one from another.We rejected that solution in the referendum and you had a big part to play in that rejec Your vision and mine of Cart\u201d \u2026 requires that the English in Quebec, and the French outside Quebec, receive the services they require for their own development.TV and radio services are selt- evidently a priority.For all the above reasons, I urge you to reconsider the cuts recently announced and restore to the English-speaking population of Quebec the services to which we are entitled.With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Alex K.Paterson 225 Olivier avenue WESTMOUNT H3Z 2C7 Can\u2019t get cab, hails officer A woman requesting transport to hospital for her sick sister New Year's Day received assistance from a

one child.He's now 50.It hasn't all been easy, he points out.A lot of water has gone under the bridge since the mayoral election in Nov.1983 when his predecessor dubbed him \u201cthe best of the two bad candidates.\u201d He \u201cfelt at the beginning that the new council was uncertain about me being mayor because I was part of a past council and because of some of the unkind remarks by a few of my detractors.\u201cl now feel very comfortable with all members of council and I rely more and more on them for their support and advice.\u201d Come to conclusions During the last year, \u201cI had to allow them to come to their own conclusions without me appearing to be too dogmatic.\u201d Having himself debated many of the same issues over his past eight years on council, he says, there were times in the past year \u201cwhen I had to bite my tongue and wait for council members themselves to come to the same conclusions reached by earlier councils.\u201d His love of challenge manifested itself in municipal politics when he first sought election to the council in 1975.When he was told by the West- mount Municipal Association they didn't want him as a candidate for the council, he pushed on regardless, seeking election on his own.He says he felt it \u201cwas wrong for a small group of five to pick one candidate over another for whatever reason.\u201cI ran because I believed in my own abilities to be a good administrator and one who would never embarrass the city.\u201d \u2018Part-time mayor\u2019 Mayor Gallery, who often reminds the office staff at city hall that he's \u201conly a part-time mayor,\" is president and owner of Gallery Publications.He publishes two trade magazines Seaports and the Shipping World and Canadian Sailings, and is editor of the latter.He feels his business training is an asset to.being mayor.- \u201cI'm a detail man and a good Mayor Brian Gallery 4 organizer.I've learnt to pay a lot of attention to small details.One of my best qualities is delegating.I'm a team player, a quarterback.\u201d One of the most important parts of the job, he says, is providing citizens with \u2018\u2018a clear and sensible answer to their concerns.\u2018\u2019These answers are sometimes difficult for me if the caller's problem cannot be solved to his or her satisfaction.\u201d Boils down to spending It almost always boils down to spending, he says.\u201cIf 1 had all the money in the world, I could do everything everybody asked.\u201d Mayor Gallery's a hometown boy.He was born at 4480 Western avenue (now de Maisonneuve) and moved to 231 Clarke avenue, then \u201cup the hill\u201d he says, to 283 Clarke.\u201cI learnt to swim and almost drowned in the Westmount Y pool,\u201d he recalls with a grin.\u2018I participated in the Y summer program because I couldn't swim.\" He also participated in the municipal sports program of the city, playing hockey on the outdoor rinks.He's proud of three Westmount crests he has kept from playing on championship teams for peewee football, hockey and baseball.He started St.Leo's school at age six, continuing to high school at Loyola because \u2018\u2018my father went there and always wanted me to.\u201d Rejected law He received his arts degree from Loyola in 1957 and aspired to law, he says, later gaining but rejecting admittance to the McGill law faculty.\u201cAt the time I was working at Texaco Canada as a sales representative in charge of 21 service stations,\u201d he says.\u201cI decided to join Gallery Publications, of which my father was the president and my mother was vice-president and general manager of one part-time secretary.\u201c1 had the privilege of going to work every day and saying to my mother: ** \u2018Mother, I think we should do this about that\u2019 and she would say, \u2018That's not the way to speak to your boss.\u201d \u201cNext day, I'd go in and say, \u2018Boss, I think we should do this PSOs assist two visitors in distress Public security officers Sunday went to the assistance of two out- of-town visitors staying in West- mount, officials report.One was a woman from Trinidad who fell on an icy sidewalk outside the arena; the other a nine-month-old baby from Poste-de-la-Baleine near Hudson Bay.The infant, reported to have been suffering a fever.was described as gasping for breath when a public safety officer responded to a call for help on Burton avenue.Assisted infant He assisted the infant until arrival of the fire brigade's first responder unit and Urgences Santé personnel and later drove the baby and mother to the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital.A Trinidad visitor also was taken to hospital by patrol car after falling outside the pool en- france to the arena about 11 am, Public Security officials said.The victim, staying on Blenheim Place, was reported to have injured an ankle.The officer reported the sidewalk had been cleaned but that water from melting snow had made ice patches on the walk.about that,\u2019 and she would say, \u2018That's not the way to speak to your mother: \u201d It\u2019s almost impossible for His Worship to talk very long without mentioning the Progressive Conservative Party.True blue Tory He's been a true blue Tory for 27 years \u2018\u2018during a period when being a Conservative in Quebec was very difficult,\u201d he points out.He was campaign manager for Michael Meighen and Murray Ballantyne.\u2018Now I'm on the national fund- raising committee, a director of the PC Canada Fund and national chairman for Canada of \u2018The 500,\u2018 a national organization of those who contributed personally to the party.\u201d In June 1983, he was a fund raiser and box manager for Brian Mulroney at the PC leadership convention.He's proud of his friend, the new prime minister.On Sept.5, the first city council meeting after the federal election, he appeared in the council chamber wearing a Mulroney button.Citizens fortunate He then stated from the mayor\u2019s chair that the citizens of West- mount were fortunate to have an Irish Catholic mayor, and soon, an Irish Catholic prime minister.When the statement was recalled to him recently, he related an anecdote which followed the council meeting when his wife asked why he had said what he had.\u201cBecause 1 felt like it,\u201d he replied frankly.His love of politics is probably inherited, he admits.\u201cMy great-grandfather was Senator Sir William Hingston, mayor of Montreal in 1875 and 1876.\u201cWishing to follow in my great- grandfather's footsteps, I knew that today I could never be mayor of Montreal, so I settled for West- mount!\u201d he says with a grin.Then he leans forward onto the big desk in the mayor's office and adds earnestly: - \u2018Actually, I'm prouder to be mayor of Westmount.\" The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 3, 1985 - 17 Incidents prove worth of fire chief's tips Despite holiday tips to West- mount residents on fireplace safety issued by local fire

\u201cstrange noises in the chimney.\u201d On investigation, the noises were traced, not to Santa stuck in the chimney.but rather to the burning of Christmas gift paper.Officials said the resident was cautioned as to the dangers\u201d of burning paper which creates an intense heat, as explained in the seasonal safety tips.One of four calls on Boxing Day was to a house on Lexington avenue where a smoke detector had been activated.On arrival firemen found the fireplace had been started without opening the damper causing smoke to set off the alarm.Purses, wallets stolen in pre-Christmas crimes

about 11:05 pm, a 3l-year-old Westmount woman also was pushed from behind by a youth aged about 17 opposite 4255 St.Catherine street.Two wallets were stolen from two separate offices at 1 West- mount Square Dec.19.One contained $50; the other theft totalled $360.A third wallet also disappeared that day from a local gift shop.A purse containing $1,000 was stolen about 9:20 pm, Dec.20, from a gift

activated last Friday at 6:45 am in the office building at 4141 Sherbrooke street when a feeder pipe in the basement ruptured, public safety officials said.The damage was believed to have resulted from a vehicle hitting the parking attendant\u2019s shack to which the pipe was attached.Firefighters responded to the scene and reported calling MUC police to take a report when marks found on the shack suggested it had been hit.The police report said no car could be found in the area and no marks could be found on the shack.It appeared to have been moved, however.Stayner woman bitten by dog A
