Peter Wallace, the boys' recreation supervisor; Beverly Adams, the girls\u2019 recreation supervisor; and Lana Romandini, the girls\u2019 assistant recreation supervisor.THE BEST SHOES BEST PRICES Full-grain leathers.Solid brass eyelets.Durable Vibram sole.If someday a lace should break, we hope the new one won't harm your Rugged Handswen's appearance.AVAILABLE AT: & MORE QUALITY THAN YOU MAY EVER NEED.BEST SERVICES 1439 STANLEY ST.TUNDRA \u201c843-4089 03% 3 years GIC Annual Interest.Minimum $500 invesiment.TO PLAY Every $500 invested in a Guaranteed Investment Certificate or Debenture or every $500 deposited nto a Personal Savings or Chequing Account between September 28 and November 14, 1987, 1s your chance 10 double your interest rate Three re- F3 \u201cWin double your interest!

room.Where do you start?One of the easiest ways to begin making decorating decisions is from the bottom up.The floor is your home's decorating backdrop, and with the vast array of options available today, your floor covering can unify the decorating theme of your home while serving the functional needs of your household.When selecting floor coverings, one of the biggest considerations is the traffic pattern of the rooms.Some rooms, such as the kitchen, family room and dining area, require floors that can withstand spills, splashes and the wear and tear of family activity, while other areas, such as the living room and bedroom, can serve as the home's show - places with sumptuous floor coverings.Here are some of the possibilities: CARPET If you are trying to achieve a feeling of warmth and coziness, expand the appearance of space in a small room or highlight tactile comfort, wall-to-wall carpet is one of the best floor covering choices.Besides increasing the value of your home, carpet has a more varied price range than most flooring materials, is relatively inexpensive to have installed and offers a wide range of colors, textures and patterns.\u201cSoftness and resiliency make carpet one of the most luxurious flooring choices,\u2019 says Janice Hall, senior stylist for Allied Fibers.\u201cIts broad nN & gardens are important Please phone for a consultation

lighter, airier colors such as peach, sea foam green and beige.and bring the warmth of carpet to rooms where stains previously have been a problem.WwooD More homeowners are knocking on wood these days \u2014 natural hardwood floors, that is.According to industry sources, almost 23 percent of U.S.households now have wooden floors in one or more rooms.Contractors and do-it-vourselfers are installing them in new homes, and restoring them as part of remodeling projects.Thanks to this renewed interest, companies are responding with flooring that goes a long way toward mitigating some of the old complaints about hardwood in the home.For instance, most new hardwood flooring is prefinished with several coats of polyurethane that make waxing obsolete.Just vacuum and buff occasionally.What could be easier?You also can select flooring in a wide variety of styles, widths and colors, from chestnut parquet to bleached white solid oak to a wide- plank ranch-style oak with walnut pegs.If you've been hiding a hardwood floor under carpet, but now want to restore it, you can find a competent contractor to handle the job \u2014 which requires sanding and screening, staining and sealing \u2014 or do it yourself by renting a sanding machine and buying the necessary finishes, sealants and stains.For creative flair, try one of the new color stains, paint your floor or embellish it with stenciling or painted designs.RESILIENTS Easy maintenance and durability are the battle cries of resilient vinyl floor coverings, which are sold from roles or in individual square tiles.But today's selection offers more than just easy cleanup after Junior deposits his dinner on the floor.There is a variety of vinyl patterns available, ranging from wood-grain look-alikes to intricate mosaic designs.Vinyl floor coverings also are water-resistant and easy-to-main- tain \u2014 only requiring a little ammonia in water to maintain their shine and luster.While the kitchen, of course, is a logical place for resilient floor coverings.they also can be attractive design components for entrvways, family rooms, bathrooms.sun porches or living/dining areas.NON-RESILIENT No longer banished to the bathroom, ceramic tile is one of the most beautifull and long-lasting -ways.tq | a decorated remodel ahome sNews ACTES We 1 T ja {D More homeowners are knocking on wood these days \u2014 natural hardwood floors, that is.with improved materials, such as quick-set adhesives, special trim pieces and ready-mix grouts, tile also is easy and inexpensive to install vourself.For indoor tiles, the main consideration is how much traffic a floor will receive, according to the Italian Tile Centre.While a single, neutral shade often is chosen for floors, tile color can be selected with the same freedom as carpet color.A smokey blue or salmon in the bedroom or a deep green in the study can be striking.Different colors can be combined to create a pattern or to define separate areas of the room.Pattern tiles also can be effective.Decorated tiles can be surrounded by solids \u2014 either of the same or contrasting background color \u2014 to be the illusion of an area rug.There also are patterns that spread across four or more tiles before repeating.The shape and size of the floor tile, along with the color and width of the grout also will affect the overall look.Glazed floor tiles and unglazed ceramic mosaic floor tiles need a simple, damp mopping with water and detergent to maintain their luster.Glazed tile floors should be swept or vacuumed regularly to remove gritty particles that could wear the surface.Quarry tile floors need only to be cleaned occasionally with a mild detergent solution.Slate, brick, marble and terrazzo are other hard-surface materials that lend natural beauty plus rugged texture.AREA RUGS Area rugs can bring color, pattern and personality to a room.Oriental rugs, dhurrie rugs, ryas, flokatis, Indian rugs and modern designs featuring bold graphics and patterns are just a few possibilities.Braided or hooked rugs and colorful rag rugs lend ambience to Early American decor and rooms with a country feeling.With these thoughts in mind, starting from the bottom up makes good sense.If you keep the floor treatment in mind when considering day-to-day living and the other elements of design you'll be using, you will end up with a thorough and well-coordinated plan for home improvement.views.Asking $150,000.views.Asking $140,000.OPEV IIOLY COWANSVILLE ABERCORN: Beautifully landscaped cedar and stone bungalow + on 9 acres.Large pond, fruit trees and

home than a new furnace will \u2014 yet ideally it should boost your home's resale value and energy efficiency.If you're looking for something that requires more time and money than a snow- blower, quilt or portable heater, consider these three radiant additions: FIREPLACES Just like hot chocolate and roomy sweaters, people are drawn to the comfort and coziness of a fireplace during the cold weather months.So it's not surprising that fireplaces hold a warm place in the hearts of many home owners.Their warmth and aesthetic appeal make them a room's most important architectural feature.The easiest way to acquire a fireplace, of course, is to purchase a home that has one, but you also can build or buy a fireplace, or revive an existing \u2014 but dormant \u2014 structure.Besides custom designs from an architect or contractor, you can choose from a wide variety of freestanding fireplaces or prefabricated metal varieties that can be built into a wall or an existing fireplace.While a roaring fire will instantly warm cold hands, many of today's fireplaces make for a net heat loss due to the chimney effect.The caveat: Most of the heat produced by burning wood in a conventional masonry fireplace is lost up the chimney, or into the surrounding wall and floor, Cold air is drawn in from the outside air that escapes up the stack.To improve efficiency, the editors of Ortho's \u201cEnergy-Saving Projects for the Home\u201d handbook suggest you: ® Purchase and install a damper; it will minimize heat loss when no fire is burning.® Buy glass doors to surround the hearth.e If you have two fireplaces \u2014 one 0 outside wall and one on an Aide wall, block off the one on the outside wall to reduce infiltration.* Weatherize your home to help reduce infiltration.® Freestanding fireplaces have a higher combustion efficiency than masonry fireplaces.® Equip your fireplace with andirons or a grate to permit air flow from beneath the blaze, and a screen to contain sparks.Once you are the proud owner of a fireplace, check it regularly for loose bricks, gaps in the mortar or obstructions in the chimney.If you use it frequently, have your chimney cleaned at least once a year to remove creosote buildup \u2014 a sticky, black, flammable residue created by burning wood, which reduces the ability of the flue to draw off smoke.(Cleaning a chimney is a dirty job, one that might be best left in the hands of a professional chimney sweep.) For greater safety, new chimneys are built with ceramic flue linings.If yours is an older chimney, you can hire a mason to either add a lining or to lower a prefabricated metal chimney inside your unlined chimney.GREENHOUSES Nobody's throwing stones at glass houses these days, at least not home owners who have realized the aesthetic and energy-efficient attributes of greenhouses.Greenhouses are an ideal source for passive heating and cooling, where the thermal energy flows thoughout the home by natural convection.Attached structures, with no walls between the room and the rest of the house, are considered the most energy-efficient because they can have more heating and cooling ventilation from the other rooms.Instead of just baking in the sun or freezing in the snow all day, these rooms can heat and cool other rooms in the house.Since the distinguishing characteristic of a greenhouse is its transparent siding, these structures bring more light into the home and can be installed in such a way that a new view is created.The structure can be surrounded by glass walls and roof, built with one glass wall or, occasion- OY I N UE pi TER es If ven f \\ if ff People are naturally drawn to the comfort and coziness of à fireplace during the cold weather months, so its not surprising that fireplaces hold a warm place in the hearts of many homeowners.ally.wrapped in a plastic fabric.You can use a greenhouse for a variety of purposes, such as dining room, patio, pool-table area, swimming pool enclosure or just to raise plants or flowers such as orchids.Some also like using a greenhouse space as a playroom for children or a spot to sit and peer at the night skies amid comfortable furniture and plants.The greenhouse needs to be located where it gets sun and prevailing breezes.You can build it from materials available from various out - lets or pre-made parts in kits.There also are dealers and contractors that specialize in greenhouse construction.WOOD STOVES Wood stoves are fast becoming a cost-efficient supplementary means of heating houses.Wood stoves are available in a wide range of styles, varying from period reproductions to simple modern ones.But no matter what style you choose, be sure yours is made of sturdy, suitable material, such as cast iron or steel.Look for stoves listed by the Underwriters\u2019 Laboratories or other recognized testing laboratories.October 8, The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, 2 1987 - 17 W Custom-made i draperies and slipcovers with co-ordinating mm wall Individual attention for your decorating needs toe Coin du

lasagna, nothing else SOME people will do almost anything for a good lasagna.One burglar made three attempts to break into a house on Wood avenue Friday or Saturday until he, or she, finally managed to force The burglar then proceeded to cook up a frozen lasagna and leave by a basement door without taking anything else.Initial attempts had been made to gain entry to the home through a garage and then through a rear door secured by a double cylinder It was then presumed that the burglar climbed a tree to the garage roof and entered by breaking a screen and opening an inside Zoning changes proceed following consultation A series of amendments to West- mount\u2019s zoning by-law will likely become official Dec 7, following their adoption by city council Monday night.Citizens with objections to aspects of the changes will be able to sign a register at city hall on Oct 28 and 29.Eligible to sign the register are owners and tenants in zones affected by the changes and those in contiguous zones.If an insufficient number of names are registered against the Shaar noise meeting now set for Oct 26 A meeting which was to have taken place Sept 21 between residents of Metcalfe avenue and the officials from the Congregation Shaar Hasho- mayim Monday last week was postponed to Oct 26, city officials report.The meeting resulted from recent appeals to city council by Jean Dur- cak, a resident, to help control alleged noise from the synagogue.In the meantime, the city's Public Security Unit logged two calls for parking obstructions on Metcalfe avenue last weekend during events at the Shaar.The noise issue has been before the courts for some time.It is now to be considered by the Quebec Court of Appeal following a judgment in Superior Court which upheld a guilty verdict rendered in Westmount Municipal Court against the Shaar in regards to violation of the city\u2019s noise by-law.capacity.CITY OF WESTMOUNT PUBLIC NOTICE Deputy Returning Officers and Poll Clerks are required for the City of Westmount Elections called for Monday, 2nd November 1987.All citizens who are on the Electoral List of the City are eligible to work in this by-law changes, they are to be approved formally at the Dec 7 council meeting, the first of the newly elected council.The amendments concern zoning for day care (see separate story), the height and shape of residential homes, the definition of a senior citizen as age 55 and over and several housekeeping and corrective amendments.A publicconsultation meeting was held on the changes Wednesday last week, but no changes were made as a result.Alderman says St Antoine office zoning favored Ald Peter Duffield says a new survey of residents of St Antoine street shows 83 percent of owners and tenants in favor of a zoning change to allow office occupancies in the strip between Brooke and Greene avenues.He made the announcement at Wednesday's public consultation meeting on zoning by-law amendments.A previous survey, conducted in a questionable fashion according to the claims of some residents, showed 63 percent favored the change.At the time that figure was rejected as not overwhelming enough for a zoning amendment to proceed.Ald Duffield, who represents the area at the foot of ward 8, said \u201csome people had reflected\u201d on the proposition and subsequently changed their minds.Deputy Returning Officers will receive $75.00 and Poll Clerks will receive $55.00 for their services.For further information, contact the office of the City Clerk (tel.: 935-8531 local 391).R.C.Wilkins Returning Officer Meech Lake deal could destroy Canadian federation, Johnston tells House In an emotional speech delivered in French to the House of Commons Friday, St Henri-Westmount MP Don Johnston spelled out why he remains staunchly opposed to the Meech Lake constitutional accord.He particularly emphasized that his opposition does not make him anti-French or anti-Quebec, as some have charged, but instead is inspired by fears of the fundamental changes the accord will make to the nature of Canada and the threat it poses to the rights of English Quebecers.\u201cThis radical change of course contemplated by the constitutional accord could weaken, if not destroy the Canadian federation,\u201d he said, according to a translation of the speech provided THE EXAMINER by Mr Johnston's office.\u201cWe are embarking upon a dangerous course towards poorly thought- out decentralization; a constitutional dead end caused by the requirement that the provinces must be unanimous on major constitutional amendments.This is a step backward from the vision of a bilingual and multicultural Canada.To vote for the accord is to vote against Canada.\u201d He told the House he is \u201cfor a confident and strong Quebec, within a strong federation.\u201cIf I wanted to destroy the Canadian federation, if | wanted to suppress the rights of language minorities, and if I wanted to create a loosely constructed federation, a kind of alliance among 10 provinces, with a distinct society in Quebec, endowed with powers that would not be available to the other provinces, if I wanted to wipe out the possibility of creating jointly financed national programs like health insurance, if I wanted to do all that, I would vote for the constitutional accord.\u201cI will therefore vote against it.\u201d He summarized his record of growing up in Ontario and choosing to become a Quebecer and of the feelings of English Quebecers who choose to live here.\u2018Like many other anglophones in the province \u2014 I believe the great majority \u2014 I not only accept the Frenchifying of our beautiful province, but I take an active part in the process.Our children speak French, they work in Les scrutateurs recevront $75.00 et les greffiers du scrutin recevront $55.00 pour leurs services.Pour de plus amples renseignements, prière de communiquer avec le Bureau du greffier de la ville (tél.: 935-8531 poste 391).VILLE DE WESTMOUNT AVIS PUBLIC Des scrutateurs et des greffiers du scrutin sont requis pour les élections de la ville de Westmount, prévues pour le lundi, 2 novembre 1987.Tous les citoyens dont les noms sont inscrits sur la liste électorale de la ville sont admissibles à ces charges.French and, far from being hostile to the French fact, we are proud of it!\u201d Ends bilingual \u2018dream\u2019 The accord, he said, \u201cputs an end to this dream of a bilingual country.\u201d Simply because that dream has not yet become a reality is no reason to abandon it as a goal.With the accord, the government is saying what it considers to be the Canadian reality should be entrenched in the Constitution.The unsuitability of entrenching factual findings is demonstrated, he said, by suggesting we also state in the Constitution that Toronto is the financial capital of Canada.Quebec is not the only area of the country with distinctive characteristics, he said.Each, in fact, is different from the others.Quebec is different because the language and culture of its majority is French and its law is different but, said Mr Johnston, \u201cwe must also recognize that all these rights and characteristics are already protected by the Canadian Constitution.Why, then, should we add the notion of a distinct society to the Constitution?Is it purely to give more power to the province \u2014 that is to say, to the provincial politicians?\u201cThere is no doubt that because of its special status as a distinct society Quebec will enjoy powers which will not be available to the other provinces.Those who suggest that this is not the case are frankly wrong.\u201d By granting to Quebec powers others do not have, he warned, \u201cWe are setting out upon an extremely dangerous road to an unbalanced federation.A clear consequence of that new approach will be a castration of the role of Quebec's politicians and bureaucrats at the national level.\u201d Three reasons Mr Johnston said there are three reasons why he \u201cremains skeptical\u201d the accord strengthens the Canadian federation, as claimed by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.First, he said, \u201cWe are told the accord, with all its flaws, is justified because Quebec is adhering to the Canadian Constitution.Is that so?To which Constitution?Not the 1982 Constitution.Rather, to a new one in R.C.Wilkins Président d'élection St Henri-Westmount MP Don Johnston delivers his anti-Meech Lake accord speech to the House of Commons Friday.which Quebec is not bound to submit fully to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in which Quebec will have special powers and where Canada will become the head waiter serving the provinces when they meet each year to feast at the expense of the national interest.\u201d Second, he said it is false to claim the accord will permit the evolution of the Constitution because of its demand of unanimity on major issues.Third, Mr Johnston said, \u201cThe Fathers of this new Constitution have not explained to Canadians that the Quebec governuiant feels itself in no way bound to re:nain part of the family.\u201d He quoted Premier Robert Bourassa as saying on June 18 when Quebec adopted the accord that \u201cthe Liberal Party recognizes the right of Quebec to freely express its will to maintain the Canadian federal union or to end it.\u201d Stinging attack In the question period after his 20- minute speech, Mr Johnston was the target of a stinging attack by fellow Liberal Montreal MP Jean-Claude Malépart.\u201cWhy is he (Mr Johnston) so afraid of Quebec being French- ified?\u201d he asked.\u201cAre the provinces enemies of the federal government?Are the provincial premiers bad boys?Why is he so afraid of Quebec's distinctive character?I understand that Westmount is no different from Toronto.But St Henri is different from Westmount and different from Toronto.\u201d \u201cI (explained) that we are very proud to have a Frenchified Quebec,\u201d Mr Johnston replied.\u201cObviously he did not understand the comment =» just made here.y, \u201cBut when he asks why I am afraid of the provincial premiers, I say that we must have a national vision.We are here to stand up for the national interest, not the separate individual provincial interests.Only one legislature is supposed to represent the national interest.It is this Parliament.It is up to us to represent the national interest, not the interests of the Province of Quebec in this House.\u201cWe have been elected to defend the national interest, to promote the national interest.It is not the responsibility of provincial premiers to defend this interest.They cannot do it, they have no incentive to do so.And that is why we cannot leave the management of our country in the hands of ten premiers meeting privately behind closed doors with the prime minister of Canada.That is - = mot what Ganadaisallaboutth ass esse = o AT en gr the history of jazz in Montreal.Classes are Tuesdays, 6

Continued from page four o WMA to interfere with the citizens\u2019 democratic privilege to choose between bona fide candidates on the basis of their different platforms and abilities.The secretary, Mrs Heather McFarland, corroborated.The WMA is not a political party, she reminded Mr Nixon, and should not even appear to be acting as one.Furthermore, I mentioned to you that while I had assumed Mr Nixon's experience on council and with the WMA would be of value to our committee, especially his being chairperson of the previous nominating committee, I had forgotten that he had been r Fortin\u2019s agent during the last election.his, I felt, might be construed as a conflict of interest, certainly if only Mr Fortin's name was put forward by our committee.Your response to all this was that you did not believe Mr Nixon's former alliance with Mr Fortin constituted a conflict of interest: with regard to the rest, you felt it was too late for it to be considered.If I wished to challenge Mr Nixon's putting forward only one name, I should have done so at the Victoria Hall meeting.At the time, I accepted your interpretation.After all, I had no part in the selection of committee members; nor did anyone consult me as tothe appropriateness of bringing Mr Nixon out of longtime retirement in Knowlton to head up the committee, notwithstanding his detachment from current events and his attachment to one of the candidates.No one can blame me forthe fact that there was no formal voting on the basis of written criteria at our one meeting.Furthermore, my not challenging Mr Nixon's announcement at the last meeting was due to the best of motives \u2014 an unwillingness to cause embarrassment based on my own uncorroborated opinion.Nevertheless, there has been a miscarriage of justice, to which I, the sole active member of the WMA at the meeting, was an accomplice.I feel, therefore, that I have no recourse but to tender my resignation as vice-president and executive director of the association.This I do with regret, but I see no other honorable alternative.John M.Udy 4454 de Maisonneuve boulevard WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 1L7 The Shaar Hashomayim Syna- on Meech Lake slanted Sir: The report on the Meech Lake Accord prepared by an inter-parliamentary committee has been slanted to the extent that only the views of those favoring the proposals are given consideration.Those who opposed the accord's glaring ambiguities and the lack of any interpretation of terms such as \u201cduality\u201d and \u201cdistinct society\u201d included a Privy Councillor and ex-senator, Eugene Forsey and two of Canada's most eminent legal constitutional experts, Prof Wayne MacKay (Dalhousie law school) and John White (Queen's faculty of law).Their views were disregarded in favor of testimony from people like Eric Kierans, Gordon Robertson and Prof William Lederman, none of whom was able to say how the so- called \u201cterms of the accord\u201d would apply.The obvious solution, a referral to the Supreme Court of Canada, as Mr Trudeau had followed over patriation of the Constitution, was disregarded in an attempt to ram these proposals through the House of Commons without MPs having the benefit of legal counsel.I can remember former clerk of the Privy Council (the same) Gordon Robertson's screams of disapproval when the Union Nationale made similar proposals to the federal Liberal government in the 1966-69 conferences on constitutional change.I can remember when Warren Allmand spoke out against this same kind of ill- starred proposals when submitted by Jean- Luc Pepin's Task Force on Canadian Unity in 1978.The late Senator Claude Wagner had labelled this proposal to allow provinces to protect language rights \u201csenseless, illogical and absolutely crazy.\u201d How can these people claim to be for a strong federal government while at the same time supporting the notion that Canada be decentralized into a confederacy of states?The proposed annual meeting of \u201c11 first ministers\u201d will supplant much of the present constitutional mandate of federal members of Parliament to speak for their electors in the national interest.This will be replaced by a system that will put pressure on MPs to support only the views of their party leader, and Parliament will be reduced to a \u201crubber-stamp\u201d function on national affairs.The Senate hearings on the Meech Lake Accord will decide the future of Canada Ambulance donated to Israeli service at event Sunday The Westmount because a group of party leaders, Messrs Mulroney, Turner and Broadbent, have tried to use the weapon of party discipline to impose a wholesale change to the Canadian Constitution in complete disregard for the rights of English-speaking Canadians living in southwestern Quebec.The only way for English-speaking Que- becers to fight back is to support the present legal case (Allan Singer Ltd) questioning Quebec's legislative power to eliminate English that will be heard by the Supreme Court on Nov 16 and by attending the Senate hearings on Meech Lake that will go across the country this fall.Federal MPs like Don Johnston, David Berger, Ian Waddell and Pat Nowlan should shrug off the name-calling and invective from those who have knuckled under to party pressure and insist on a complete judicial interpretation before any vote can be taken in the House.It will be interesting to see if the stout proponents of Canadian sovereignty within North America who are so vocal in their defence of \u201cCanadian identity with respect to freer trade will show the same concern for Canadian sovereignty within Quebec.W.A.Sullivan 4444 Sherbrooke street west WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 1E4 Westmount High worth fighting for Sir: À good Westmount friend, Fred Levine, recently sent me the Sept 24 issue of your newspaper, in which was announced the forthcoming closing of Westmount High School.Five years ago, while students at WHS, Fred and I, in our graduating year, were actively involved in numerous programs aimed at improving the image of the school in the community.In co-operation with the parents\u2019 committee and the school administration, we were able to make some progress with our program \u2014 with those who listened.Unfortunately, the trend against public school education, especially toward large, broadly based schools like WHS, was, and probably still is, much too strong to turn around.The reality of low enrolment appears to have spelled the closure of our school.The frustrating thing is that it is just possible the closing could have been avoided.If Westmounters had really understood and been prepared to support the values of Examiner, Thursday, October 8, 1987 an integrated education system, and if the PSBGM had not panicked and created its own semi-private schools (e.g., Royal West and Argyle academies), it is conceivable that the Westmount High enrolment might have remained higher.I guess, in a sense, Westmount High evolved into an \u201cexperiment\u201d around 1970, when events led to enrolment of increasing numbers of students from other municipalities.For approximately 15 years the xenophobia of Westmounters was tested by students from all over Montreal.One would suggest this approach failed to maintain the integrity of the school.However, | am happy that I had the opportunity to attend Westmount High during that period, and I know that those years greatly influenced the direction of my life.1 would like to thank those who have battled, and those who continue to fight to keep the school open.Westmount High is definitely a cause worth fighting for.Tim Etherington University of Western Ontario LONDON ON (Formerly of

OURMNA.| Continued from page five care facility, 40 low-cost housing units for seniors, and a day centre with preventive and therapeutic facilities for elderly citizens who will be referred by health professionals.We hope that this senior citizens\u2019 complex will go some way toward meeting the needs of our older men and women.What ought to be emphasized is the integrated nature of the project: the nursing home and day centre are funded by the ministry of health and social services, while the housing unit is funded by the three levels of government on the approval of the ministry of housing.That they are to be developed as parts of a harmonious whole is due to good luck, good timing, and an awful lot of hard work.We can thank the provincial ministers responsible, Thérése Lavoie-Roux and André Bour- beau, as well as their officials.We can also thank the mayor, Alderwoman Sally Aitken, the other members of council and city officials for not losing faith in the project over the last two years.Perhaps it would not be out of place to add that my own staff has played a role in the development of the project of which I am very proud.SEF al .\u201c\\ CHURCH SERVICES gogue on Metcalfe avenue in West- mount will be the scene at 11 am Sunday of a community gathering featuring the presentation of an ambulance to Magen David Adom, THE MOUNT ROYAL CEMETERY COMPANY\" (ADMINISTERING MOUNT ROYAL AND HAWTHORN-DALE CEMETERIES) AT THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE andblood a re CREMATORIUM INC.ANGLICAN SYNAGOGUE In ad ition to the ambulance, a CONGREGATION h 1 léttering ad Magen David on gleañn- 1297 Forest Road CHURCH OF SHAAR ing white, the gift by Rose, Joseph Outremont, Que.H2V 2P9 THE ADVENT HASHOMAYIM and Robert Friedberg includes two Mitrek super consolette base stations as part of the instant communications network serving MDA's fleet of more than 500 vehicles.The presentation is considered of special symbolism and significance since it will take place in the midst of the festive holiday of Sukkoth (Feast of ernacles) and, in fact, the site 1 ceremony will be outdoors at the Sukkah.The ceremony is also timed to coin- On any day of the week you are cordially invited to visit our beautifully landscaped cemeteries and to stroll through our (514) 279-7358 *A non-profit company serving Montrealers since 1847.No solicitation.\u201cYours is to choose - , ours is to serve.\u201d Corner of Wood and de Maisonneuve, Westmount The Rev'd Eric Dungan, MA Sunday, October 11 Trinity XVII - Thanksgiving 8:00 am Holy Eucharist, Said Father David Oliver 10:30 am Holy Eucharist, Sung Church School & Nursery facilities Sermon: Father John McNab Organist and Director of Church Music: 450 Kensington Avenue Sabbath Services Sabbath Eve: 6:00 pm Succot Sabbath Day: 8:30 am in the Main Sanctuary Sabbath Twilight: 6:25 pm Daily Services Mornings: Sun, Oct 11, 8:45 am Mon-Tues, Oct 12, 13, 7:30 am Wed, Oct 14, 7:00 am Thurs, Oct 15, 8:30 am; memorial service 10:15 am Torah noma of the basic Judae Columbarium/Garden Crypt complex which offers in- Mr Fiomey Abley, FAC CHM.ETC.Evenings ed go à teresting options to traditional burial.Our knowledgeable FLCM,, A.R.C.M.Sun-Thurs, Oct 11-15, 6:25 pm principles emphasized in the Torah me : \" : or Holy Scroll, is Pikuach Nefesh or and courteous \u201cservice-oriented\u201d personnel will be on hand the saving of life, the guiding policy to helpfully discuss our many available services: UNITED of M David Adom.\u201d The public is invited to attend the e \u201cBefore Need\u201d versus \"At Need\u201d arrangements, for WESTMOUNT PARK CHURCH presentation.either burial or cremation Lansdowne Avenue and de Maisonneuve Blvd The Rev J.E.Munson, BA, BD, MDiv Organist and Choir Director: Gordon White, BMus, LMus SUNDAY OCTOBER 11 Thanksgiving Sunday 18th After Pentecost 11:00 am Morning Service Sermon: Invitation to Commune Rev.J.E.Munson preaching ALL ARE WELCOME e Appropriate memorialization - granite monuments and markers, inscriptions and bronze plaques e Furthermore, to escort you through our new chapel and to introduce you to the Columbarium and Garden Crypt complex, a new and popular concept providing niches for urns and crypts for above- ground burial.If you are unable to visit in person, write or telephone for a brochure.Open Monday through Sunday.Two bicycles | are recovered A BMX bicycle which was found at de Maisonneuve boulevard and Claremont avenue was turned in at local MUC station 23 last Thursday, according to police reports.A red Raleigh also was recovered the same day behind the greenhouse in Westmount Park.+ - \u2014 !

seven-month-old male tabby cat wearing blue collar.Reward.937- 117 recruit new members for the crime prevention program.Director Richard McEnroe, director of Westmount\u2019s Public Security Unit, told THE EXAMINER Monday the door-to-door approach had been outlined by Singapore's deputy police chief at last week\u2019s annual convention of the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners held in Montreal.Both Director McEnroe and Public Safety Officer Raffaele Barba attended a Neighborhood Wah workshop at the convention Je they heard how the Singapore program had swelled membership to 70,000 since its start in 1981.\u201cBased on that success, we decided to try it out here,\u201d Dir McEnroe said.The Westmount program has been organized street by street through block meetings.Several sessions of the convention were attended by MUC constable Michel Caza, crime prevention officer at Westmount\u2019s station 23, who chaired a workshop on robbery.Guest speaker at the workshop was Erich Rebscher, chief of crimino- logical research for the West German Federal Criminal Police.\u201cWe heard that other countries face the same problems we do,\u201d Cst Caza reported.\u201cThey put up barriers against crime in one area and it shifts the problem somewhere else.\u201d Supper switch rush eased in new city parking rules Westmount drivers will have until 6 pm, one hour longer, to change their parked cars to the other side of the street following a number of parking changes approved Monday night by city council.The changes include designation of five additional streets for alter- nate-side parking as well as permitting parking on both sides of Cote St Antoine road.Streets newly approved for alter- nate-side parking are Arlington, Strathcona, Mount Stephen, Springfield and Church Hill.Only the Côte St Antoine change can be expected in the next week, city officials said.Other modifications will take between four and six weeks to go into effect since they require new signs or stickers to be ordered.The recommendation to extend the duration of daytime parking on one side of the street to 6 pm followed complaints from residents stating they could not be home from work in time to change their cars to the other side, Alderman Paul Fain explained.The lifting of parking restrictions from the south side of Côte St Antoine road is intended to narrow the street and slow the flow of traffic, he said.Valise taken from back seat A man who put a suitcase on the back seat of his car late Wednesday last night discovered it gone the next morning, police report.The bag was taken from the garage of the apartment building at 4998 de Maisonneuve boulevard.It contained a camera, Walkman radio, two jackets and other items totalling $2,000.It was reported to have been packed in the car to be ready for the next morning.IT CRP ™ A NAN ToT uo pa RS SU ST Woh We Wn dd wy VV = ce VI c+ wn TS ra rh D 5 T = US RS EN ~~ J WD May Cutler filed her

Finkel.CUTLER.Continued from page one place for groups, especially seniors, to meet, for cultural gatherings, for music and theatre activities.A nursery school as well could be incorporated into the structure, bringing young and old together.Mrs Cutler decried the \u201cdeterioration\u201d of the Westmount Public Library,due to lack of funding from city hall.She said she wants the library \u201crenovated and extended\u201d and the western wall opened and incorporated into an atrium linking it to the conservatory.The library should be open to users 365 days a year and later in the evenings, she said.As for the greenhouses, she said they should be preserved and flowers from them displayed in public buildings in Westmount.City gardeners should be available to provide tips for Westmount\u2019s amateur green thumbs.Ombudsman for seniors Mrs Cutler said an ombudsman would help ease the fears of many Westmount senior citizens, particularly concerning condominium conversion and rental conditions.\u201cA large number of our older people feel deserted and frightened.\u201d Dog owners as well would get better treatment with her as mayor, Mrs Cutler said.She promised to find ways to provide dog owners with a better hearing for their needs.She urged more contact between the anglo- and francophone communities in Westmount, and used an all- French literary night during the Arts Westmount festival as a symbolic example.The same sensitivity should be shown to allophones, she said.A year-round swimming pool is another project Mrs Cutler listed on her campaign program.As for the cost of her campaign promises, Mrs Cutler said her simple rule has been \u201cyou can always find money for what is important.\u201cWe are not only the wealthiest, and can afford to care for our people, we are undoubtedly the best educated in the country \u2014 why are we sing our combined talents here lve problems creatively and build positively?\u201d Mrs Cutler said \u201cthe remarkably competent\u201d city staff would enjoy a more creatively charged city hall, saying \u201cmost people can stand happiness.\u201d She said if elected she would meet with municipal personnel and ensure they were made to \u201cfeel their participation counts.\u201d She added, \u201cI want to treat people as I would expect to be treated.\u201d Mrs Cutler said she has the time and energy to devote to the mayor's job.Widowed last February with the death of her husband Philip, a labor lawyer and Superior Court judge, she said she now has her evenings free, as well as her days, to attend meetings.As for operating Tundra, Mrs Cutler said, \u201cWe can manage it with the good staff here (at Tundra).\u201d She professed to \u201cfeeling 30\u201d and not having spent a day in bed since she gave birth to her last son.As forthe campaign itself, withits slogan \u2018We want May in November\u201d she has promised herself: \u201cI'm going to have fun or I'm not going to do this atall\u201d Mrs Cutler was born May Ebbitt in Montreal, the daughter of Irish immigrants.Educated at McGill University, she received her MS in journalism from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1946.She was the second woman hired by Canadian Press in Montreal in 1945.She worked for the information unit at the United Nations in New York before returning to work for The Montreal

whose U.S.adaptation was chosen outstanding book of the year by The New York Times.She married Philip Cutler in 1952 and moved to Westmount in 1961 with their four sons: Keir, a writer living in the

neuve, but she feels changing her ward for this election would have called for a new election organization which was too much to undertake with the school board campaign at the same time.Asked what she considered to be the issues in her ward, she replied that the concern for sound financial management and taxation was basic to all Westmounters, but that speeding, parking, security and dogs remained high on the list in ward 6.\u201cI've always been a strong supporter of Neighborhood Watch and any movement where citizens help themselves,\u201d she said.\u201cI feel the city should be

code of Westmount.\u201d The change was an addition concerning back pressure devices in ventilation systems, he explained.Mayor Brian Gallery thanked Alderman Trent, who is retiring from city council,

support new day-care Members of Westmount city council were greeted by a packed house gathered for the statutory public consultation meeting Wednesday last, most of whom were there to voice their views on the day-care issue.While several residents of Blenheim Place, located around the corner from the proposed K.I.D.S.Day Care, expressed concerns about increased traffic, most persons in the audience heartily endorsed the zoning amendment which would allow day-care centres in some four more commercial zones and one residential.Views expressed at the meeting were often wildly divergent.Whereas Malcolm Fletcher of Academy road said he hadn't seen \u2018a more suitable place to put a day-care in my life,\u201d Pierre Tellier, a spokesman for Westmount Park Towers condominium project adjacent to the day-care site, said, \u201cI think this is the last place I would park my children.\u201d Other comments included: e Christiane van Renesse of Greene avenue, said she was \u201cshocked\u201d by council\u2019s change of mind on the matter.\u201cDay-care centres would be an asset\u201d to the city, she said.e Cynthia Lulham, former assistant director of Narnia Day Care in West- mount Park School, said the demand for day-care places is so great that \u201cpeople are calling up when they're pregnant\u2019 to reserve a place for their expected child.She said a \u201cgreat deal of parents\u201d would walk or bicycle their children to day care.e R.S.Busbridge said \u201cit would be a great shame if a new day-care was prevented due to a technicality.\u201d e A Mr Legault from Blenheim Place said the day-care would put additional pressure on his street where By PETER BLACK there is already \u2018\u2018an enormous amount of traffic.\u201d e David Oliver said that the special by-law for day-care zoning was established by the province because day care is a priority.Although he suggested the city\u2019s traffic committee have a look at the area, \u201cI think it's hard to imagine something that would be better situated\u201d for a daycare.° Harold Fernberg, who said he was a 25-year resident of Blenheim Place, felt there may be a \u201chealth hazard\u201d associated with the area of the daycare building due to excessive exhaust emissions from cars and trucks accelerating up the St Catherine slope going east.He also said the area \u2018\u2018is a very fast corner.\u201d e Pierre Brunet, a Blenheim resident, said that although residents of the area must contend with noise problems, \u201cif I have a choice I'l] take the day-care centre as opposed to another massive condominium.\u201d ¢ Mr Tellier, representing Sofati Ltd, builder of Westmount Park Towers, said 35 of 40 condo buyers had signed a petition against the day-care \u2018\u2018voluntarily.\u201d He said residents raised the question of noise in the area and the \u201cadditional\u201d burden of noise the day-care might pose.e Evelyn Wajcer, director of K.I.D.S.Westmount, said children would only be outside in the fenced-off play area for an hour at a time in small groups.She said she wondered about the objectivity of the Sofati petition.She said the day-care would be air- conditioned to ensure fresh ventilation and protection from any airborne pollutants.» John Udy expressed outrage at the suggestion the day-care would be an OCTOBER 13TH, 1987 8:00 P.M.Important general meeting of \u201cadditional burden\u201d to condo owners.He asked: \u201cDo I have to stand up in this chamber and stand up for motherhood?A vote against day care is a vote against motherhood.\u201d * The day-care\u2019s landlord, Ronald Pickering, invited the audience to the day-care, which is still under construction, \u201cto see where your children are going to be.\u201d He compared the traffic in the area to the \u201cSteinberg parking lot.\u201d He accused the day-care owners of permitting sloppy workmanship where \u2018\u2018workers had cemented over sprinklers.\u201d \u201cIf this is happening now, what\u2019s going to happen when the kids move in?\u201d Mr Pickering said.\u201cI'm beginning to think twice about this,\u201d referring to his four-year lease with Mrs Wajcer.e Another speaker later said, \u2018\u2018It is strange Mr Pickering is voicing an objection as the landlord of the building.\u201d He said improvements to the leased space would be made at the expense of the tenants and that permits from all levels of government are necessary before the daycare can open.¢ James Aitken reminded the audience that other occupancies than day-care are permited in the zone in question, such as a service laboratory.He said it is \u201cvery appropriate\u201d for a day-care to be located so close to a residential area.The zoning amendment being discussed would open up many other areas of the city to day care, he said.Mayor Gallery thanked the audience for its participation saying \u201ca meeting like this is healthy.\u201d Help the community by giving generously to Centraide this month.NEW LIBRARIAN: After 10 years of administrative experience in the McGill University library system Heather Halli- day became the new
