magnifi-upon hearing of his nomina- tion victory: Whatever their Ryan hung in for the duration.Record James Dutt differences, QUEBEC (CP) The constitutional debate in the Quebec national assembly began to look like a chess match Wednesday, as the governing Parti Québécois and opposition Liberals tried to checkmate each other through parliamentary procedure Liberal Leader Claude Ryan made the first move, saying he was ready to support a PQ motion denouncing Prime Minister Trudeau’s plan to unilaterally patriate the constitution But Ryan said he was ready only to lend his support if the PQ would swallow its pride and agree to a Liberal amendment saying the government's referendum defeat last May means that Quebecers are fundamentally federalist The Ryan amendment would reiterate Quebecers’ faith in the federal system, then tell the British Parliament not to interfere in Canadian affairs by endorsing constitutional change that lacks the backing of the provinces vmkndmknt is amended After a hasty caucus meeting.Premier Rene Levesque and his chief constitutional adviser, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Claude Morin, responded with a sub amendment saying that Quebecers “voted to maintain Canadian federalism" last May But they deleted the part of the Ryan motion that spoke about voters rejecting sovereignty-association.The distinction is important for the Parti Québécois, which acknowledges that Quebecers have decided, for the time being, to give federalism "one last chance," But the party is still pledged to seek sovereignty.The debate adjourned until today after Ryan, adding yet another twist to the procedural tangle, said he agrees with most of the PQ sub-amendment, hut he can’t accept the deletion of the part about sovereignty association being rejected.Behind the high-stakes manoeuvring, one fact was clear: The PQ and the Liberals are hoping that they can blame the other side if the two parties don’t form a common front against Trudeau Patriation talks to be televised Claude Ryan and Camille Picard join hands with Johnson Liberal organizer to fete Picard's nomination victory.But carry his sweep into the byelection?Brome: Ecology first COWANSVILLE - Neither the winner nor the losers will have far to go to watch the unfolding of next Monday’s Brome-Missisquoi byelection.County returning officer Marcellin Larocque’s office is on River Street, a stone’s throw from the committee rooms of the three parties The Liberals and the Parti Québécois are separated by a floor in a former hotel now being used as a home for the aged, while the Union Nationale are across the parking lot in a mini shopping centre.There’s very little precedent for this proximity.Brome and Missisquoi went their separate ways from Confederation until the 1973, redistribution.They were merged shortly after the death of former premier Jean-Jacques Bertrand who held Missisquoi from 1948 to his death in 1973.Glen Brown, the Liberal incumbent in Brome prior to redistribution, won the new county in 1973 and held it until 1976 when he went down to defeat to Armand Russell.Russell swept the county for the UN, then stepped down in 1979 to run as a WHAT'S ON AND OFF ON BYFLFCTION DAY Next Monday nearly 100,000 Townshippers go to the polls in byelections for three counties, Johnson, Brome-Missisquoi and Megantic-Compton.In all three, voting will begin at 10 a .m.and close at 8 p.m.Schools will be closed but brasseries and taverns may remain open if they wish under the new law, although they must close during a general election.The law effectively kills the tradition which dried up all pubs, bars, private clubs and brasseries in any area where a federal, provincial, municipal or school board election was being contested.“We made amendments to the liquor control act and closing hours concerning the sale of wine in brasseries which came into effect on October 15,” QLB spokesman Maitre Patenaude said yesterday.“We decided since many of the voters in the contested areas would only have to cross the street to have a drink or a meal it would be ridiculous to close local outlets,” Patenaude added.“I can’t be held responsible for passing the information onto the QPF as they were allegedly informed of the changes in the act by my fellow workers."_______________ Earlier amendments in the Quebec Liquor Control Act decreed all licenced premises may remain open during municipal and school board elections.Students eligible to vote in these byelections but away at university, college or high school must be given the day off to vote All municipal offices, school boards or health care institutions must allow their premises to be used for polling if asked to do so.Saturday service at rural post of fices will continue while the government studies the wisdom of cancelling it, Postmaster-General Andre Ouellet said yesterday He told Doug Neil, Progressive Conservative MP for the Saskatchewan riding of Moose Jaw, that no rural outlet will close its doors without consulting its customers first He said postmasters and their workers are being consulted about changing their hours of work.Opposition MPs have argued that Saturday is the only day rural residents set aside to come into surrounding towns to shop and pick up their mail.Post office officials are studying the possibility of Saturday closings but no decision has been taken.Progressive Conservative in his former provincial riding of Shefford He was routed in the federal election by Liberal Jean Lapierre the Missisquoi Historical Society combed their archives and came up with a partial list of provincial representatives but could not provide political affiliations until the days of former UN leader Jean-Jacques Bertrand.See BROME, Page 8 Johnson: Roads the issue By STEPHEN McDOUGALL ACTON VALE — If you were to ask a resident of Johnson riding the worst problem in the county, the answers would probably be the want of better roads.Local mayors and residents claim that up to 50 per cent of the roads are either unpaved or in poor condition, and for a county as large as Johnson, with 19 people per square kilometre according to the government statistics, roads are essential to get around.Even Windsor, the largest town in the riding, has only 3,600 people, and the population is about evenly divided between rural and small towns.In all the campaign speeches and promises, the issue of roads always seems to pop up, ironic in an age when the issue of road building and repair has become a pre-election cliche.Johnson County’s roads have not been attended m as quickly as could be, though the government did hurry to complete the Highway 55 which will be of more benefit to adjacent Richmond county.See ROADS, Page 8 OTTAWA (CP) Television viewers will be able to watch members of a parliamentary committee engage in a verbal tug-of-war over the merits of Prime Minister Trudeau’s con stitutional package as early as next Monday.Yvon Pinard, government House leader, announced Wednesday that an agreement had been reached with the other parties to allow live broadcasting of the historic joint Senate-Commons committee The government planned to introduce a motion in the Senate and Commons today allowing television cameras to move into the ornate ballroom on Parliament Hill where MPs and senators have been meeting since last Thursday.Pinard’s announcement signalled the end to a week-old squabble that had soured relations between the govern ment and opposition parties at the committee.A refusal by Liberal MPs and senators last week to allow live broadcasting of the committee hearings had prompted New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broad bent to threaten to withdraw his sup^ port of the constitutional package.And in Ottawa, Justice Minister Jean Chretien refused to guarantee Wed nesday that a parliamentary committee studying constitutional change will be allowed to see the results of a recent government poll of the public's attitudes on the subject.A joint motion by the Progressive Conservative and New Democratic parties ordering the minister to release the poll conducted by the Canadian Unity Information Office was defeated 13 to 10 The vote came as MPs and senators were giving in-depth study to a charter of civil and linguistic rights the government wants entrenched in the constitution.Opposition MPs claimed the charter could become meaningless because of a provision saying these rights are “subject only to such reasonable limits as are generally accepted in a free and democratic society with a parliamentary system of government.” HARD-PRESSED Chretien appeared hard pressed to tell the committee just what was meant by “generally accepted rights,’’ saying the courts would decide James McGrath, Conservative MP for St.John’s East, suggested the courts could deny any rights included in the charter if the judges believed the rights were not generally acceptable to the country.“I'm saying your charter is meaningless,” McGrath said.The hopes of Canadian native peoples were given a blow Wednesday as a committee of the British House of Commons began looking into Britain's role in amending and patriating Canada's constitution.First came the remarks from Anthony Kershaw, Conservative chairman of the select committee on foreign Hostages: It's Iran's serve A leader of Iran’s revolutionary regime indicated that the hostage crisis will go back to the Iranian parliament because the U.S.government can’t immediately meet some of the terms for release of the 52 hostages Ayatoltah Mohammad Beheshti, the presidjfeJP^ Iran’s Supreme Court and head of the Islamic Republican party, Iran’s biggest party, said Wednesday the Majlis < parliament i “would have to meet if one or two of the conditions set by Iran for the liberation of the American detainees cannot be legally fulfilled by the United States,” the Algerian news agency reported from Tehran.The U.S.response to Iran's four conditions was delivered to the Iranian government earlier Wednesday by Algeria, which handles Iran's relations with the United States.The contents were not made public.But U.S.officials said in addition to the pledge of non- interference in Iranian affairs demanded by Iran, it included an explanation of the legal obstacles to speedy fulfilment of the other three conditions.Tehran Radio had no immediate comment on the U.S; response Associated Press affairs, who said : “1 emphasize that we will not look at the content of any re quest received from Canada.” All Ihe committee will receive is “evidence on the legal and con stitutional responsibilities of this (British) Parliament, and on no other matter,” Kershaw said in opening the proceedings in Committee Room 15, packed with representatives of the Ca nadian federal and provincial governments and native peoples Alta.ready to sue EDMONTON (CP) — A challenge to the federal government's new excise tax on natural gas may go before the Alberta Court of Appeal early in 1981, Attorney-General Neil Crawford told the Alberta legislature Wednesday.Documents will be filed within days but it might take one year for the challenge to go through the Alberta court and a possible appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada The challenge is one of the measures Premier Peter Lougheed promised in response to the federal budget and energy program of Oct.28 Alberta has already announced a delay of oil sands development and a 15-per-cent cut in oil production by next fall Meanwhile, Energy Minister Marc I^alondesays he talked on the telephone Wednesday with his Alberta counterpart, Merv Leitch, as a first step in renewing oil pricing negotiations.He said the federal government would welcome any decision to separate the issue od Leitch promised to get back to him later in the week to between senior ofeal energy policy was announced last month And New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives outlined their strategy Wednesday for a special six-day debate, likely to begin a week from Friday, on Liberal energy policies “We want to make sure Canadians understand what they’re buying (with higher oil prices),” said Michael Wilson, Conservative energy critic.His NDP counterpart, Ian Waddell, said it is premature for the federal government to make such a “drastic” move (enacting the increases) and consumers should at least have the details of the energy policy behind it.Oil prices are to rise immediately by 80 cents a barrel under the Liberal proposals Further annual increases of $4 50a barrel arescheduled for the next few years.And in Halifax, Imperial Oil’s chairman Jack Armstrong says the federal energy package and Alberta’s reaction to it dealt the petroleum industry a double blow, but his firm has no plans to reduce exploration.‘The effect is that we will have fewer dollars to do what we have to do," Armstrong told a news conference Wednesday.But as long as Imperial is guaranteed at least a 20-percent

NOVEMBER 13.1980 In Memoriam Voyager 1 buzzes Saturn PASADENA.Calif (AP) — Voyager I soared past Saturn's banded yellow cloudtops Wednesday, buzzed about a half dozen cratered, frozen moons and shocked scientists with a bizarre ’‘braided" ringlet within the planet's shining rings It then began a long, lonely journey toward the stars ‘The results have been just absolutely astounding." said Bradford Smith, head of the Voyager camera team."We re seeing new things so remote from our experience that we re not able to come up with even a hint of a suggestion as to what some of them are " The fast-paced tour of Saturn’s exotic realm was the climax of an exploratory voyage of 38 months and 2.23 billion kilometres The unmanned spaceship made its closest approach to Saturn — about 140,000 kilometres from the planet at 3:48 pm PST (6 46 p m EST), but radio signals announcing the successful passage needed an hour and 25 minutes to cover the 1.7 billion kilometres from Saturn to the Jet Propulsion laboratory in Pasadena Sailing beneath the famous rings, where Voyager already had disclosed puzzling features, the ship found two narrow ringlets that almost appear entwined like crude braids "It boggles the mind that that even exists,” Smith said STUDIES MOONS He said scientists could not explain the strange structure, discovered in the narrow, outer ribbon, called the F ring Voyager also showed scientists complicated motions within the softly colored clouds that are Saturn’s only surface As the planet grew before Voyager's cameras, the washed-out yellowish sphere displayed ribbons and swirls, halos and spots where winds played with the haze-covered atmosphere En route to its rendezvous with Saturn, a gas-filled ball big enough to hold H00 earths, the ship turned its cameras and instruments on some of the 15 Saturnian moons Except lor giant Titan, they seem to be made of what one scientist called “dirty ice." Images showed details never seen before on the moons' icy surfaces: a long, deep canyon cutting across hoi) kilometres of Tethys; a peaked hill surrounded by a huge crater spread over nearly a fourth of Mimas; circular meteoritic craters surrounded by bright rays on Dione, and the pocked, streaked and blotchy surface of Rhea The ship began its Saturnian tour late Tuesday ring when it skimmed past the giant moon Titan, coming within 21 kilometres of the predetermined bull's-eye near Titan, said mission spokesman Al Hibbs A thick, smoggy haze denied scientists a look at the neverseen surface of Titan But, nonetheless, they reported hints of streaks and other vague details on the orangish clouds surrounding the moon Voyager’s nine other instruments sent back a wealth of data after probing Titan’s atmosphere of natural gas, or methane News in brief Kaplan may seek pardons Haitians herded onto ship Commanders order guns locked up OTTAWA (CP) Solicitor-General Robert Kaplan said Wednesday he is considering seeking pardons for several of the 131 individuals so far sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder.He said in an interview he has received a tremendous amount of mail asking him to provide relief from the sentence, which carries a requirement that the first 25 years be served in prison.A good deal of the mail came from Alberta on behalf of a teenager who killed his step-father for sexually assaulting the boy's sister.Can human rights pressure continues MADRID (Reuter) — Canada and two other NATO countries warned Moscow on Wednesday they intend to keep up pressure on human rights and Soviet actions in Afghanistan at the controversial European security conference.Canada, Belgium and the Netherlands attacked Soviet policy as the 35-country conference started a week-long general debate and backstage negotiators sought to resolve a major East-West procedural dispute The conference opened with a brief ceremony at midnight Tuesday night and began discussing detente Wednesday afternoon without opposition from Soviet delegates.There had been some fears that the Soviet Union might raise procedural objections.Hydro rejects study MONTREAL (CP) — Hydro-Quebec has "strongly rejected" an economic study claiming most of its $746-million profit last year was a windfall from cheap power purchased under the controversial long-term contract with Newfoundland.In a statement issued Wednesday the provint'iallyowned utility said it has more than 50 hydroelectric generating stations, and most of them produce power “at a cost equivalent to or less than that" bought from the Churchill Falls plant in Labrador.“It is therefore incorrect to claim that almost all of HydroQuebec’s net income is obtained at the expense of Newfoundland."

Wilson, believed to be the first serving member of the Manitoba legislature to be convicted of a criminal offence, said his conviction was the result of an "obsession to find a fall guy " McMurtry defends French policy MONTREAL (CP) — Ontario Attorney-General Roy McMurtry defended his province's efforts to provide Frenchlanguageservices Wednesday and lambasted New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield for depicting Ontario as a hotbed of anti-French sentiment.Speaking from a prepared text in heavily accented French, McMurtry told Montreal Chambre de Commerce members: “While our history is far from unblemished, it is important for Quebecers to know and understand how-much progress we have made through the administrations of premiers (John) Robarts and (William) Davis."It would have been useful too if Premier Hatfield had had some awareness of Ontario before his foolish statements in New York." Congress junks tax cut WASHINGTON (AP) — The outgoing Democratic-controlled 96th Congress, embarking on a final lame-duck session, junked plans Wednesday for consideration of a tax cut backed by President-elect Ronald Reagan.Senate Democrats voted overwhelmingly against even bringing the tax cut bill to the floor — a measure Thomas O’Neill, speaker of the House of Representatives, an nounced President Carter was prepared to veto if it reached his desk.Leaders promised that the session — the first postelection meeting of Congress in a presidential election year in 32 years — would be brief, with a shortened agenda Later in the day, O'Neill and Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd met and agreed to recess the lame duck session no later than Dec.5.Carter told reporters Wednesday he will meet today with congressional leaders to discuss which pending legislation should be tabled and which should be pushed BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe ( AP) — Commanders of rival guerrillas who fought gun battles here this week ordered the men to lock their weapons in armories Wednesday as police searched for the bodies of victims.By Wednesday night police reported 51 people killed in the fighting beween guerrilla factions loyal to Prime Minister Robert Mugabe and Home Affairs Minister Joshua Nkomo.PM begins shuttle diplomacy (JTTAWA ( CP ) Prime Minister Trudeau leaves today on what could be the first leg of nine months of shuttle diplomacy as "honest broker” between rich and poor nations leading to a summit meeting of key industrial nations here next July.Trudeau will hold talks with leaders of Saudi Arabia, North Yemen, Egypt, West Germany and France to discuss the problem of the crushing burden of oil import payments by developing nations.National Gallery budget cut OTTAWA (CP) — A Sl-million budget cut for the National Gallery of Canada — one reason for the resignation of the gallery's director — was rescinded last week, Environment Minister John Roberts said Wednesday.Roberts said outside the Commons that Dr, Hsio-Yen Shih's resignation, which was officially announced Wednesday, was actually submitted about six weeks ago.The minister said he did not think the resignation was a factor in the government’s decision to restore the extra $1 million to purchase art which had been cut from the gallery's budget by the former Progressive Conservative government.Can splits over race issue TORONTO (CP) — A Gallup poll says slightly more Canadians feel racial intolerance has not increased in the last five years than those who believe it has gone up.The poll, conducted in October and based on 1,043 personal interviews of adults 18 years and older, shows thaï 47 per cent of Canadians feel racial intolerance is not more prevalent than five years ago.But 43 per cent believed intolerance was up and 11 per cent were undecided.A sample of this size is accurate within four percentage points 19 out of 20 times.Foot trips on feet What’s in a name’’ Just ask Michael Foot, newly-elected leader of Britain's opposition I,abor party.Foot has broken his right foot and is hobbling about on crutches, his aides said Wednesday.They said Foot, 67, who succeeded James Callaghan as party leader Monday, stumbled while leaving the House of Commons on Tuesday night.At first, Foot thought he had simply sprained the foot.Now said to be “angry and frustrated but determined not to cancel a single engagement," he will have his right leg in a cast for several weeks.Lawyer accused of bully tactics MONTREAL (CP) — Michel Proulx, defence lawyer for a Quebec provincial police officer charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of a young Mohawk last year, was accused Wednesday of using bully tactics against Indian witnesses.“1 didn't know you were going to yell at me," said Stanley Myiow, a 17-year-old student who was being grilled by Proulx.“Are you saying that I intimidated you?" Proulx asked softly.“Yes," prompted a Mohawk woman spectator a moment before Myiow.in a bitter voice, also said yes.Haiti imposes curfew MONTREAL (CP) — Amnesty International and members of Quebec's Haitian community say the Haitian government has imposed a virtual curfew on the impoverished Caribbean island as part of a new campaign to crack down on all dissent.The measure follows the arrest last month of Sylvio Claude, founder and president of the opposition Christian Democratic Partv Miss World Canada irked by tabs LONDON i CP ) — M iss World Canada says she has had a harsh initiation into the world of British tabloid journalism.But Canada's hopeful in the Miss World pageant to be held here today, Annette Labrecque, 19, from Charlesburg.Que., is still smiling, despite reports in British tabloids that she is fed up and wants to go home.“When I read the reports in the newspapers here, I burst into tears ’, she said in an interview They didn't actually make up the quotes, but they played with my words enough, just enough to change the meaning and report out of context ".There is an oriental beauty about her She has large, almond-shaped eyes of vibrant green and long, dark curls cascade bevond her shoulders doesn’t understand The Daily Express reported Monday Labrecque s annoyance at the attention given to beauty over personality during the runup to the pageant “I don’t understand this contest It is being judged solely on beauty ”, she was reported to have said i wish I was not here, but back at university ”, Labrecque, however, said she made no statement about wishing to withdraw and "go back to university"."How could I have said that since I’m still in college at the present time and I have two more years at CEGEP.Semi-narie de Quebec, before I even think of university’’?SCIENTIFIC MIND Keenly interested in the sciences.Labrecque hopes eventually to go on to medical school She would be reluctant to accept the Miss World Title.The Sun reported, in view of judging criteria based largely on one's appearance.“Naturally l would think seriously about accepting, if I do win It is.after all, a year of my life But I would be proud to be crowned, and being Miss World for a year, is also a good school ” The Sun.which boasts the largest circulation of any newspaper in the country, quoted her as saying: “I am not beautiful I was chosen in Canada because of my personality." And sitting in the bustling press room where a majority of male journalists hover like hungry vultures, ready to pounce, she is asked to substantiate or refute that quote “I don’t know if I would say that I am beautiful.But I don't think I am a monster either I just hope the judges can see through the beauty of contestants and choose someone who deserves to win ” HAMELIN — m loving memory of a dear sister and brother in law, Mattie Aiken Hameim wno passed away on Nov 13th, 1975 Ernest Hameim who passed away on Nov 14th, 197$ Father in heaven hear our prayer, Watch over our loveO ones with tender care, Be a good shepherd, don't leave them alone.Love them as we did, when thev were at home Always remembered and sadly missed by MABEL and DICK BURNHAM (sister and brother In law) LILIAN and WILLIS WILLEY (sister and brother in law) HAMELIN — In loving memory of mother and grandmother, Hattie Hamelin, who passed away on Nov.13.1975 and father and grand father, Ernest (Skinny) Hamelin, who passed away on Nov 14, 1975 Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you are always there The gates of memory will never close, We miss you more than anyone knows With tender love and deep regret, We who love you will never torget.Lovingly remembered by ELEANOR and NORMAN (daughter and son in law) SHIRLE Y.and ROSS (daughter and son in law) JANE (daughter) DEBBIE (granddaughter) Card of Thanks BEATTIE — My sincere thanks to Drs.Taylor and Vaillancourt and to the nurses and staff of l.C.U and fourth floor of the Sherbrooke Hospital for their kindness and excellent care during my recent stay in hospital.I also wish to thank the clergy, my immediate family, friends and relatives for the cards, flowers and visits I received, also for the many kindnesses and visits since my return home Your thoughtfulness will long be remembered.THOMAS R.BEATTIE Lennoxville, Que.CRUICKSHANK — We wish to sincerely thank all those triends and relatives who were so thoughtful and kind to us during Ethel's illness, death and burial We especially wish to thank Drs.Cooper and Lowry and the staff of the Sherbrooke Hospital, the ministers, Rev.Simons and Rev.Gaudine, and all those who sent cards, flowers, contributed food, and helped in many ways, also the bearers, the choir and organist ot Cookshire United Church and St.Peter's Anglican, the U.C.W.of Cookshire and Charlie Ross of Webster Cass.THECRUICKSHANK FAMILY DESRUISSEAUX — We would like to express our sincere thanks to Dr.Lowry, L.O Cass and Son, Gordon Smith, Rev.Jervis Read, Pauline Statton and Claris Phillips, bearers and veterans for their kindness during our recent bereavement.For the many cards, flowers, food and donations sent in also the many friends and relatives who called at the funeral home.The Women's Institute, Guild and Ladies Auxiliary for the lunch following the service.Your kindness will always be remembered MINNIE (wife) BETTY (daughter) FLOYDand SHIRLEY (son) NORMAN and GLADYS (son) HOULE — Wewish to express our sincere thanks to our relatives, friends and neigh bours who assisted in any way at the time ot the death of our dear mother.Special thanks to all the staff at Grace Christian Home and to Dr, Klinck for the wonderful care and special favors she received.Thanks to Mr.David Scott, organist, choir and bearers, to the ladies of U.C.W.who served lunch after the funeral and to those who sent flowers, food, cards, telephone calls and donations.We would also like to thank those who came from far and near to pay their respects at the funeral home or to attend the funeral.Your kindness was deeply appreciated and will always be remembered.THE HOULE FAMILY RUDD The members of the family of fhe late Miss Laura H.Rudd wish to thank their many friends, relatives and neighbours, for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of a dear sister, sister in law and aunt.Our sincere thanks to those who sent cards, flowers and donations to the Cancer Foundation, to Dr.Lowry, Dr.Lepine, Dr.Perelas, nurses on 2nd floor of the Sherbrooke Hospital, Rev.Douglas Warren for officiating at the funeral service, Gordon and Everett Boynton at the funeral home, organist, Mrs.Evelyn Boynton, those who helped in the singing and the bearers, Mr.Milton Goodwin, Earl Coleman, Lindsay Groom, Edward Picken, Stewart Picken and Gary.Picken.It is with sincere appreciation to each and everyone that we give our heartfelt thanks.E.PROVOST MTS.30, ISth Ayf North, Sherbrooke 549 1700 $*9-S1$!

atmosphere of spit and-polish unrivalled anywhere else on the North American continent but the 52nd Royal Winter Fair which opens tomorrow still puts the exhibitor first Here we will find rubbing elbows and exchanging good wishes the 'up-percrust and John Doe, ordinary citizen Amid the brilliance and dazzle of royalty and the Canadian Establishment, the men decked out in top hat and tails, the ladies strutting in their mink and diamonds, is some of Canada s most 'blood and guts' agricultural competition Simply called 'the Royal’ by most, it is the largest agricultural show of its kind in the world, and the entire program of exhibitions and events takes place under a roof that spans an area of 27 acres Started in 1922, an attendance of 325,000 for the first year clearly showed that Canadians were ready for such a quality show In 1979, entires topped 13,000 and were rewarded with $275,000 in prizes Three main objectives that fair organizers set out in the early years are still strictly adhered to today -establishment of a national-in ternational exposition commensurate with the progress and development of Canadian agriculture, the bringing together into one big national winter fair the best that Canada produces in livestock, poultry, dairy products, fruit products, horticultural displays, vegetables, seed grain, and in production of all kinds from the land Third is the public relations aspect, bringing to the attention of peoples of this and other countries the high quality and excellence of Canadian farms, with the object of widening markets and increasing the value of cash products Here in the Townships, there are many exhibitors who have met and conquered the standards exacted at the Royal Jersey herds located m a small area around North Hatley have ex celled in the past and are today ranked among the best in Canada and the U S Maple syrup from the Townships is firmly established in Royal records as tops in Canada, bogs from the Beebe and border region consistently win top money, Ayrshire breeders from this area as well as Ormstown and Hun tingdon are.through their prize winning appearances at this Fair, known even in Scotland, their country of origin, and Holsteins, the breed claimed to be the most popular and most populous, have brought home to the Townships many trophies and ribbons.The list of accomplishments by Townships breeders is endless, and covers nearly every aspect of agriculture, including beef production which is remarkable considering the emphasis placed on western animals Fine and heavy horses from our home hills have been «insistent winners at the Royal, and every breeder and exhibitor w ill boast of not only his prues, Uit the contacts and business arising out of the w inners' circle at this fair of fairs William li Reid, chairman of this year s Dairy Cattle Committee, says, After last year's record Royal price of $140,000 for a young Holstein bull and all time high average sale prices for Jerseys and Ayrshire», the competition within all the dairy breeds should be very keen this year Buyers and visitors from «' countries around the world are expected to participate." he added The Townships have already set the slave in the Royal records this year Gleanings By GEORGE MacLAREN MNÀs employable after public office?As I have already mentioned in this column, Mr L.S.Channell, founder of The Recorder, declared in his first edition on February 9,1897.that he would not publish editorials.I am pleased to say that he couldn’t resist the temptation.This is comforting to myself as I have learned through experience that the pressures of daily newspapering often prevent good intentions from being realized.In any case, on March 2, 1897.Mr.Channell printed an editorial.It was entitled, "Useless Expense" and no mention was made of its being an editorial.However, I think on reading it you will agree that it was an editorial."At the approaching provincial elections there are two matters, which the electorate should see that the candi dates are pledged to remedy.These are the lowering of the annual sessional indemnity, and the doing away with the Legislative Council."The annual amount paid to the members at Quebec, is $800.This is the largest sum paid in any of the provinces, and out of proportion to the services rendered.To our members at Ottawa, who have more than ten times the labor, we only pay $1000 a session.If we secured a better class of men by the larger indemnity, then could we have no objection.Such, however, is not the case.Unfortunately we believe the large indemnity is bringing into the field aspirants for the position, who look to it as a means of a livelihood, rather than serving their country and the people."The business transacted in our Provincial legislatures is little more than that of our county councils.We expect the members of the latter to give their services free, while the former are paid an annual sum of $800 “We believe that the standard of our legislators would be improved if the annual indemnity was done away with altogether, but as this is probably impossible to accomplish, most certainly the amount paid should be brought into proportion with the services rendered.The latest figures I can lay my hands on are for 1979.At that time, members of the National Assembly were paid an annual salary of $27,800, plus $7,000 entertainment expenses.In 1897, however, there was no pension plan offered.This autumn, La Presse has been commenting on the extremely generous pensions we presently offer to our former M.N.A.’s.It seems that former members acquire a right to a pension if they have sat a minimum of five years or have been elected in two elections.What is worrisome is that the pension takes effect as soon as the member leaves the House and not at some future birthday, such as 60 or 65 years of age.Moreover, these pensions are not affected by any subsequent pensionable employment.While I do not agree with Mr.Channell that our members' annual salary should be done away with entirely, I find it abnormal that members of the National Assembly have voted themselves a pension scheme far better than anything offered in any other field of employment.Are we to assume that our politicians consider themselves unemployable after leaving the Assembly'* Flower show attendance down SHERBROOKE (PT) — About 6,200 people visited the city's chrysanthemum exposition which ended last week.This is 600 fewer visitors than last year but the organizers attribute the low attendance to slippery road conditions The head of the city’s greenhouses, Andre Caron, would like to thank all those who visited the display and those who helped organize it.As is the case after every exposition, the flowers are donated to hospitals and senior citizens’ homes.City issues parking rules SHERBROOKE (PT) — Local motorists are reminded that after November 15, they will not be permitted to park on the street between 2 and 7 a.m This regulation, which will be in effect until March 15, 1981, is to facilitate snow removal.Residents wishing to install temporary garages or tents for their cars in the winter are reminded they are permitted to do so between November 15 and April 15.Those living at intersections should check with the city offices at 565-3269 for regulations Brieflets The only thing holding back the Huntingville artisans from buying the old mill is money.Artists seek Huntingmill Record Pert y Beaton By ANTHONY ROSS HUNTINGVILLE - The old mill owned by the Hunting family may be turned into a cultural centre if Monique Harvey-Gagnon and her organization has their way.The Association of Artisans of Huntingville Inc.who now occupy the building, wish to develop it into a cultural centre but at the moment, lack the necessary funding.Harvey-Gagnon has been active in the last few months, searching for funds from the provincial government and the Ascot Township to realize her dream of turning the mill into a show-place for artisans As well as a permanent home for her association, Harvey-Gagnon wants to build a small outdoor cafe.which she believes will bring a number of tourists to the village and help create a tourist trade.She thinks there are already a number of tourists passing through the region and Huntingville needs a project of this sort to attract their fair share “1 have done studies of the other attractions in the re gion and there are lots of people passing by here so I can see no reason why we shouldn’t tap a resource that is already here," Har vey

APPOINTMENT REQUIRED 4 THURS,.NOVEMBER '3, 1980 Editorial The Voice of the KuHtern Townships since 1897 Ticket to ride It has its disadvantages.It is expensive if two complete systems are maintained.But there is no longer any doubt that immersion in a second language is the most effective way to teach that language.The Lennoxville District School Board is by no means the first to try it; a bilingual education project done at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education is in the midst of a 10-year study developed to determine whether immersion programs provide students with greater French proficiency than do courses in French as a second language ( FSL ).The types of immersion studied were early total immersion from kindergarten, early partial immersion (half days of French from grades one to six), and late partial, which introduces the French immersion up to 100 per cent at grade six level.The study showed best results from the kids in early total immersion.Although their English language skills lagged behind those of unilingually-educated English children, they soon caught up and some went on to outstrip the comparison group in reading comprehension and vocabulary skills.They developed better French reading and listening than FSL students after six years, and held even with comparison groups in science and maths.Graduates of Toronto’s first immersion class are now in the new 50-per-cent French-maintenance program at Lawrence Park Collegiate.The Townships has a good beginning in the bilingual kindergarten program in LDSB schools.Graduates from our system will have to know French or leave.Why maintain a uni-lingual English system if it will deprive our children of a place in Quebec society for which the ticket to ride is bilingualism?JUDITH KELLOCK-HEWARD Unfair From Ottawa’s Who Cares department comes the news that, out of 1,248 appointments to 158 federal government agencies in April and May of this year, 158 were women.Of Ottawa’s 1,262 senior civil-service executives, 42 were women.The federal government employs a quarter of a million people; 35 per cent are women, but 79 per cent of those are support staff — secretaries and clerks and 67 per cent of all women in Ottawa are among the lowest paid of all civil servants.These depressing numbers are contained in a report entitled Women in the Public Service: Overlooked and Undervalued, released by the Advisory Council on the Status of Women.The study effectively demolishes the myth that the Liberal government has done anything to increase the representation of women in the federal workforce.It also puts the lie to any claim by this or preceding governments that they have improved the lot of women in the workplaces.For you so-whatters, let’s just say the era of cute little Momsie at home while Dad’s out earning the daily bread are over.Singleparent families are so commonplace we don’t give the problems created a second thought.If half the population of Canada was another color or spoke another language or had three arms, there would have been bloodshed by now.But they’re women, which somehow disqualifies them.Affirmative action has increased French-Canadian participation in the federal government to a point close to over-representation, certainly in the upper echelons of the civil service.We'd like to see Mr.Trudeau’s government practising just a little of what he preaches about human rights.Bunch of hypocrites.JAMES DUFF More gov’t daycare is bandage, not cure Quebec isn’t doing well by children.Judith Kellock-Reward's recent series on government-approved daycare services cannot help but alarm anyone concerned about either children or the future - and not only because the present daycare offerings are overcrowded, understaffed and ill-equipped Under any kind of government daycare scheme, children are inevitably institutionalized even before their period of enforced public schooling begins.Like the public schools, a daycare center following governmentally prescribed procedures can only become a form of indoctrination in the government's ideals and values.Conformity is encouraged, individual growth repressed As educational philosopher John Holt observes, "School teaches children to be stupid in an acceptable pattern.Government daycare centers only start the process sooner" v Certainly we must help single parents who cannot both tend their children and earn a living at the same time.Certainly every mother both needs and deserves a few hours off now and then, while others temporarily watch her children for her.But equally certainly there are better ways to accomplish this than to simply turn our sons and daughters over to Big Brother.Understandably, social affairs minister Denis Lazure doesn't discuss the alternatives, since he holds a vested interest in both strengthening Big Brother and furthering the socialistic ideals of his political party But parents should be clamoring for the alternatives, alternatives already working all over the world.For instance, in Japan workers commonly take their children to the office or factory with them.Corporations such as Mitsubishi, Toyota, Datsun, and Sony operate in-plant daycare centres staffed by parent-employees on a rotating basis, with assistance from fulltime teachers and nurses.Parents may visit their children during breaks and at lunchtime.In-plant daycare both permits parents to work and maintains close family relations, whereas removed government-run daycare tends to create estrangement, limiting parent-child contact to perhaps four hours out of each 24.The only reason Quebec industry doesn’t provide quality in-plant daycare is that labor hasn’t yet demanded it, allowing our industrial giants to pass responsibility on to either government or individual workers who must hire babysitters.Over the past few years another form of on-the-job daycare has emerged, most noticeably in Manhattan White-collar workers simply take their children to their offices with them.It is still unusual but no longer surprising to see Madison Avenue secretaries typing with infants sleeping beside their desks, or to find a Wall Street lawyer whose pre-school-age children have small desks of their own in an adjoining office.Holt’s Growing Without Schooling newsletter is filled every two months with dozens of similar examples, not just from Manhattan but now coming from all over North America.Imaginative parents, receptive management, and cooperative fellow employees are relearning what once was well-accepted: that children can play, learn, and grow in a working environment, if adults trust and accept them there.Formerly obvious on the farm, while North America remained largely rural, this is proving equally true almost everywhere else Blue-collar industrial workplaces can be dangerous for small children, but again, not necessarily.By now almost legendary is the seven-year-old who received afterschool daycare at his uncle’s garage along the Alcan Highway near Prince Rupert.On his own he learned to use tools, and by age 13 had completely restored a scrapped Chevrolet.If parents can’t take their children to work, often they can bring their work home.We'll see much more of this happening as scarce gasoline makes obvious the inef- .rJOSSS® Commentary BY MERRITT CLIFTON ficiency of the factory system for all purposes but final product assembly.Most factory work could equally well be done by one, two, or half a dozen individuals in a backyard or basement shop, setting their own hours, operating as independent piecework contractors rather than as timecard-punching employees.Each ‘factory’ could consist of a fleet of trucks delivering and picking up materials Instead of having hundreds of workers driving individual cars to a central location served by just as big a fleet of trucks, we’d have hundreds of interdependent cottage-industrialists able to both earn a good wage and stay home with the children simultaneously.The advent of computer communications makes this all the more probably and inevitable.At best, government daycare is but a bridge between this and the present status quo.The danger in expanding government daycare services is that once government acquires a vested interest in doing a particular job, it begins prohibiting alternatives Thus while government daycare might presently be a humane alternative to small children left home alone, it might also 10 years from now pose an inhumane obstacle to parents trying to regain responsibility for their children.This tendency is already evident in Quebec's law against midwiving.Seeking to protect pregnant women from complications developing during home births assisted by often inadequately trained personnel, Quebec mandated that all babies must be delivered by doctors, in hospitals if possible This encouraged the medical tendency to treat pregnancy as a disease, rather than as a natural process.Now, 20 years later, women seeking to regain control of their own bodies, and to establish close emotional bonds to their children from the point of birth, often find themselves frustrated by doctors, who still legally prevent them from turning to sympathetic trained midwives.To his credit, Lazure has recently endorsed midwiving, but the endorsement still carries no legal authority.The fight doctors put up before forfeiting their share of the government monopoly will only foreshadow the fight daycare administrators put up perhaps a generation from now when parents, both male and female, begin to realize that the object of having children is to raise them well, not to just pay their expenses while others raise them As a strictly personal view, I suspect that many of the parents clamoring loudest for government daycare are those having had children irresponsibly to begin with, without any strong emotional commitment to raising them Too many parents everywhere, but particularly in Quebec, seem to have children simply to acquire the imagined status of being parents, or to provide themselves with the premature illusion of being a family long before they actually establish a secure marital relationship The definition of being adult seems to have shifted from ‘one able to fulfill responsibility’ to ‘one able to earn an independent wage’, a shift in attitude most deleterious to both the very young and the very old Both children and the aged are loved when somehow useful, as an automobile might be, and then parked in a garage somewhere out of sight and out of mind the rest of the time.I find this attitude of benign neglect infinitely more disturbing than occasional outbursts of overt, violent abuse.Any society suffers some aberrant behavior.But when aberrant behavior becomes the norm, when because it is quiet and clean it is also accepted, when our most powerful instincts toward the young especially are swallowed by our greed for money and material status, we re heading for complete social disaster.It happened before, when generations of children were sold into sweatshops, and while government-run daycare centres can hardly be physically compared to 19 century mills and mines, the public attitude filling them apparently hasn’t changed much.I speak of fathers, neighbors, and friends, not just mothers.By the time a mother has been emotionally and financially abandoned by all those around her, in many cases she has little choice but to leave her children.Here again, daycare is a temporarily necessary bridge from the status quo to a better future.But regardless of all other technological and social inovations, part of that future is going to have to be redefining what a worthwhile human being is.The Latin term ‘macho’ indicates masculine concern for family; a macho man in the barrio takes care of his children, including changing diapers and babysitting.We need a whole lot more of real macho strength here, and a whole lot less adolescent ‘macho’ posturing over material accomplishment, from both men and working women.tttNAIO TOtKJNK) Letters Chiropractic Editor: Please allow me to comment on one facet of the medical care we receive Crackdown Editor: About that editorial concerning mandatory wearing of seat belts and motorcycle helmets: Medicare doesn’t pay funeral expenses.If people don’t wear seat belts or helmets, they're generally killed instead of injured, right?So the government should be grateful for having saved all that money.Perhaps if the government set down stricter laws on prohibiting driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, there would be less accidents, thus less expense.SHEILA BELL Lennoxville from the medical profession and medicare.I would like to refer to the care of our backs.We are always told to see our doctor in case of health problems.This I did some ten years ago when I had back and leg pains.Tests showed that 1 suffered from a herniated disc, and the herniation was operatively removed.After recovery my condition was improved but somewhat different pains in my leg developed.Over the years the pains became worse, followed also by shoulder, arm, and neck pains.Members of the medical profession told me that this was a natural process of degeneration and that little could be done other than be very careful in the use of my back.Finally with my condition becoming more troublesome, and following friendly advice I decided to consult a chiropractor.Now within one month time after starting regular treatments I have already found considerable relief and hope that with care I will be able to continue leading a normally active life.What I would like to know is why the medical profession does not refer patients to chiropractic care if their condition indicates it, and why does medicare not cover the cost of chiropractic care?At least chiropractic care is a lot cheaper than hospital care.I am no authority on the subject, but as our marvellously flexible spines are also structural weak spots in human bodies it makes much sense that they should be subject to specialized care w ithin the entire spectrum of health care.L.S., Asbestos Will chemical warfare creep into Iran-Iraq war?WASHINGTON - Despite the near-hysterical rhetoric emanating from both Iran and Iraq, the desert conflict so far has been less than total war.But U.S.intelligence analysts say there is danger of escalation in a particularly gruesome area: chemical warfare.The reason chemical or biological weapons have not been used may be simply that the balance of terror in this field is clearly in Iraq's favor, and the Iraqis have been doing well enough with conventional forces - so far.But if the fortunes of war should change dramatically, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein may decide to stave off disaster by resorting to chemical weapons.Iran has done relatively little to develop chemical warfare capability, or defense against such attacks.But Hussein is known to consider chemicals a useful military tool.Iraq's modest stockpile of chemical-biological weapons is a legacy from its years as a military client of the Sovi- Jack Ander et Union.The Iraqis began actively acquiring a chemical warfare potential in the mid-1970s.As a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report put it, Iraq embarked on “an aggressive chemical-biological-radiological program, including the construction of training facilities .modeled after Soviet CBR installations.” Intelligence sources discovered “at least 15 locations” in Iraq where CBR obstacle courses had been constructed with Russian help.The extent of these training facilities “highlights the importance (the Iraqis) place on being prepared to operate in a contaminated environment.” one secret report states.The obstacle courses were used as part of general Iraqi army training "In these areas, troops are instructed to bypass or move through contaminated obstacles and perform normal combat duties while wearing protective clothing," the report notes "Each Iraqi division has an organic chemical company that is equipped primarily with Soviet-manufactured materiel such as the truck-mounted ARS-12 and DDA-53 decontamination apparatus." an intelligence report states.“As in the Soviet Army, the Iraqi ground force has a chemical branch, and CBR doctrine is most likely based on Soviet concepts.” Before relations with the Kremlin cooled following Hussein's crackdown on Iraqi communists in 1978, the Soviets reportedly supplied small amounts of chemical warfare agents for training use.The Iraqis had “no known chemi- cal warfare production capability, although the technological base required to produce nerve agent exists, and an attempt has reportedly been made to do so." according to an intelligence analysis.It concludes ominously: “The Iraqis realize that, once acquired, weapons of this type could be used against.potential adversaries.such as Iran and Israel.Numerous weapons systems already in the Iraqi inventory are capable of delivering CBR munitions, which would have to be externally supplied" Intelligence sources told my associate Dale Van Atta that the French, who replaced the Russians as Iraq's major military supplier, have not provided chemical weapons.But the Iraqis have built up a small stockpile on their own.EXPORTING TRAGEDY: Manufacturers who run afoul of stringent federal safety standards have a callous option available: Like the com- panies that found themselves with stocks of baby clothes treated with Tris, the suspected cancer-causing flame retardant, greedy manufacturers can dump their goods overseas.Now there is evidence the federal government is helping the United Nations fob off a controversial birth-control drug on unsuspecting women around the world.The substance is Depo-Provera, and tests have linked it to sterility and congenital heart disease in women.In a private letter to Rep.Mario Biaggi, D-N.Y., officials of the Agency for International Development admitted that, despite attempted safeguards.AID funds may be helping to underwrite a U.N.program that is distributing Depo-Provera abroad.DIPLOMATIC DIGEST: An unexpected fallout has developed in Poland from the success of the workers' strikes The Roman Catholic Church is being subjected to an increasing wave of skepticism and dissent.The reason is that the church hierarchy’s first response to the workers' protest was essentially negative.The same workers and intellectuals who led the peaceful rebellion against the government are | now questioning the church’s social policies - and even its sacrosanct ! dogma.Small discussion groups among church members have been formed, and only the national pride in Polish-born Pope John Paul II has kept the dissent movement under control.- Observers blame the Communist Party’s poor showing in the recent Portuguese elections on the ironic fact that the Reds embraced capitalist-style electioneering too enthusiastically.Their sound trucks blared the loudest, their posters were off-the-wall, their speakers promised the moon and their noisy street parades
