Garon indicated that the federal government’s current constitutional plans threaten provincial farm financing and revenue security plans, which he described as the best in the country.Since the Parti Québécois came to power, he said, no less than 20 agriculture-related laws have been passed and his department’s budget rose to $386 million in 1980 from $198 million in 1976.Meanwhile.Jacques Proulx, president of the Sherbrooke federation of the Union des producteurs agricoles resigned as provincial second vice-president Proulx.elected to the provincial executive last year, had accepted the term on a trial basis.He stated his reasons were mainly personal but many of the executive’s expectations, especially in public relations, also went against his grain.The Sherbrooke federation president will remain on the regional direction But.he adds, the dedication demanded of any provincial executive placed a tremendous strain on his family and farm operation.Elections if necessary will be held today behind closed doors but reports last evening indicated there is only one nomination for the second vice-presidents' chair No name has been given And La Regie des Marches has of ficially announced its acceptance of a request by Quebec hog producers to hold a referendum on forming a new hog marketing board.Dates are set for voting March 18 and 19 The method of voting for this new board - which producers hope should settle once and for all the troubles which have plagued this production for nearly two years - has been changed, requiring a vote by secret ballot in person at specific polls, probably agronomists' offices.The new board would replace one dissolved in November 1979 and will be the second effort to set up a new one since that time.A resolution passed during the plenary session on Thursday gives companies the right to one vote as well as a vote for each partner.Hog producers hope this added weight will swing the tide in their favor.Dobson Lea, president of the Canadian federation of agriculture, stated Quebec is the last important producer of pork to form a marketing tx»ard and added."All of Canada's producers are watching this turn of events with great interest Quebec produces nearly 35 per cent of the Canadian pork production,” and this has made the efficient operation of the other provincial boards much more difficult Dissidents among the producers have been shipping pork to Denmark, the world's largest producer of this commodity Denmark has issued a direct warning to producers here by sending the equivalent of two carloads of pork for much lower prices, with the ultimatum they could flood the province with Danish pork A hog marketing board would protect both the Quebec and Canadian markets Dollar at record low Bank rate hits new high OTTAWA (CP) — As the Bank of Canada rate soared to a near-record 16.14 per cent Thursday, Finance Minister Allan MacEachen conceded for the first time in months that new programs may be needed to help homeowners and other Canadians burdened by high interest rates.Thursday’s increase brought the bank i ate to within a hair of the all-time record of 16.2 per cent set April 3 and led chartered banks to raise the rates they charge their best customers to 17 per cent from 15.5 per cent.Meanwhile, the value of the Canadian dollar fell to 83.15 cents U.S.in New York, its lowest level since April, 1933.Some analysts said even higher Canadian interest rates were needed to keep the value of the dollar from sliding further.MacEachen told angry opposition MPs in the Commons that Thursday’s dramatic jump in interest rates is bound to hurt some Canadians, but he said he had not yet decided whether to proceed with new programs.“My concern in examining this situation is to determine where inequities may exist and whether at a certain point it is necessary to take any action.” SEE BLEAK ECONOMY Progressive Conservative finance critic John Crosbie and New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broad bent responded to the minister’s comments by painting a bleak picture of current economic conditions and calling for sweeping changes in the Oct.28 budget.Crosbie, whose own budget last Dec 11 proved disastrous for the Conservatives, said high interest rates will “put the kaibosh” on any hopes for an economic recovery in the near future “There aren’t any easy answers, but the government that we have is just throwing its hands in the air because it has a majority and giving up." he told reporters.Broadbent was unsuccessful in his bid for an immediate emergency debate on the economy in the Commons Outside, he called for a new budget before Christinas, complete with lax cuts, a new policy on interest rates and the creation of a fair prices commission to roll back unwarranted increases.I S.RATES ON RISE Thursday's increase in the bank rate was prompted largely by the continuing rise in U.S.interest rates.Major U.S.banks hiked their prime rates to 20 per cent earlier this week.Sondra Corry: Anti-sexist at work Auditors: Waste, fumbles cost Canadians millions By JAMES DUFF SHERBROOKE — It was a high point in the lady’s career as a militant feminist.The classroom next door to the CEGEP de Sherbrooke auditorium was filled to overflowing with women and a smattering of men, drawn by heavy advance publicity from an umbrella outfit called the Comité d’Appui Sondra Corry the Sondra Corry Support Committee.It was also the first time heavily nationalist groups like Maison des Femmes ever sat that quietly to listen to someone talk English, in itself quite a precedent.The general atmosphere was one of police interest, coupled with righteous indignation at the way a publicly-supported institution like Bishop’s University permitted such rabid sexism as that which saw Corry ordered off university grounds for having been suspected of stealing a sexist movie poster.Perhaps the most outrageous point to this crowd was when Corry said Bishop’s Principal Christopher Nicholl told her she could come back ‘but not force my ideas down anybody’s throat’.That, says the feminist writer, researcher and student of the history of women’s rights, is impossible.The work is there to be done, it must be done, the public’s consciousness must be raided at all costs.Wild talk was absent from the CEGEP meeting, which was covered like a blanket by the local French radio, television and print.The next day’s Tribune alone carried a quarter of a page on the second page, writing about the campaign adopted by Nicholl and the Bish hierarchy to deaden dissent anH br»*-1 »"idiral.brave voice from the campus dominated by jocks and molls.Support from the Bish community was confined to a lone prof (female) and a couple of students.Organizers said word ‘had been spread’ that the Corry thing was taking place, but this was the result.The Professor’s Association of Bishop’s University, listed on the manifesto distributed by the Comité d’appui, was crossed off.In every copy.Later, Corry described how she got involved in the rights issue.She’s 46, a native of East Orange, New Jersey, recently divorced with four children aged 16 to 21.Her dream is to start an English women's newspaper in Sherbrooke and she perceives consciousness-raising among Townships women as her mission.She sees herself as representative of many women just escaping from the isolation of the home, “frustrated with the silences and the lack of job opportunities.” She doesn’t hate men, she says, nor does she understand such accusations thrown at her “Pornography is a manifestation of male hatred of women,” she explains.“It’s unfortunate that it’s seen the other way around.” She’s only lately become confident enough to express her feelings in acts like the slapping of ‘This is offensive to women' stickers on allegedly sexist material.‘‘I had these stickers for the last couple of years, but I’d never gotten around to using them be fore.” she says, referring to the now famous incident involving a Bo Derek See THERE'S, Page 4 SONDRA CORRY .little angle support Press Council raps cheesecake QUEBEC (CP) The Quebec Press Council, an advisory body, Thursday deplored the use of photos of scantily-clad or nude women to boost daily newspaper sales The council statement came as a result of a complaint signed by 3,500 women protesting the daily use of such photos by the Journal de Montreal and Journal de Quebec, highly-suecessful morning tabloids published by Pierre Peladeau.The women warned the photos help encourage a climate of physical and moral violence against women The council said it has neither the power nor the desire to tf il newspapers what they may or mav not publish, but auv.cd ihe newspapers should be sensitive to the demands of the communities they serve.Spokesmen for the Quebec City and Montreal papers challenged the basis for the complaints and denied there was a threat either to the social order or the physical integrity of women in publishing the photos Meanwhile, the Quebec Council on the Status of Women said Thursday Its committee for non-sexist advertising is having some success in encouraging companies to drop “sexist" ads The council said Xerox and Kodak are among the companies that have been persuaded to change their ad-oertwina The committee has no authority to force any change The Xerox ad in question showed a man offering a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates to a photocopier "giving the impression that he was likening it to a woman.” The Kodak ad showed a woman on roller skates working on a photocopier "getting orders from her two male bosses.” The committee, set up a year ago by the council to handle complaints on advertising, said it has received 300 complaints so far and all but five per cent were well founded It said most of the complaints.47 per cent, depicted women as sexual objects OTTAWA (CP) — Bureaucrats in the federal Indian affairs department have wasted millions in taxpayer dollars because of poor financial controls and vague policies for spending of the department’s $1.2-billion budget, the auditor-general reported Thursday.The annual report on how the government spends tax dollars says the department allocates $300 million a year to Indian bands without knowing how the money is spent and other money is wasted because managers lack an understanding of the goals of the department.It says the department will write off $17 million of $81 million in development loans to Indians because of bad management of loan approvals and collections.In another case, officials can’t explain a $36-million increase in administration costs for programs transferred to Indian bands The problems in the Indian affairs department are among a half-dozen examples of serious mismanagement brought to light in the 1979-80 report, presented to Parliament by acting auditor-general Michael Rayner.Most of its 394 pages were prepared under the supervision of former auditor-general J.J.Macdonell, described in the report as "a dynamic and enthusiastic leader,” who retired in September after seven years in the top job Kenneth Dye was recently named as his successor.WEAKNESSES BROAD This year's report says there are “significant weaknesses" in spending of billions annually on government equipment by the department of supply and services; says management of the House of Commons staff and services has been ‘‘significantly below a minimum acceptable standard;” accuses the energy department of fudging statistics to overstate the effectiveness of government conservation programs; and says a defence department hospital in Winnipeg is wasting $14 million a year because of bad management.Rayner told a news conference that government financial management has not greatly improved since 1976 when Macdonell wrote that government “has lost or is close to losing effective control of the public purse ” “It would be misleading to say that the conditions that prevailed in 1976 have improved markedly," he said In general, the report comes down hard on the continuing inability of the government to get a firm grip on its spending — in spite of at least partial implementation of controls recom- mended in previous reports — and suggests that civil servants lack incentives needed to save money.It says none of the improved management systems recommended in previous years can work unless bureaucrats are given the means and incentives for “economic, efficient and effective management of public funds and resources.” * Photo J»rwtElement

Journal alive when it bought the Ottawa daily from FP Publications Ltd this year, the federal royal commission on newspapers was told Thursday.Jim Rennie, former executive editor of The Journal, said Thomson went out of their way to undermine the paper and displayed “absolutely no interest in the editorial product whatsoever” in the seven months they owned it.The Journal was killed on Aug.27 just as it was Haig likely for Secretary of State post WASHINGTON (AP) Ronald Reagan’s first eight cabinet choices — all white, male and Republican are speaking up quickly in favor of the president-elect’s plans to cut taxes, trim the federal budget and strengthen national defence.Still to come after presentation of the first group Thursday is Reagan’s decision on a secretary of state, an important foreign policy post that retired Gen.Alexander Haig seems increasingly likely to fill.The first eight selections included New York financier Donald Regan as treasury secretary, Reagan confidant Caspar Weinberger as defence secretary and Reagan’s personal lawyer, William French Smith, as attorney-general.There were no surprises as Reagan's aides also introduced Representative David Stockman of Michigan as budget director, Reagan campaign manager William Casey as CIA director, re-liring Senator Richard Sch-weiker »Rep.Pa.) as secretary of health and human services, Connecticut industrialist Malcolm Baldrige as commerce secretary and deputy Republican party chairman Drew Lewis as tran-sportation secretary.Regan, chairman of Merrill Lynch and Co., the world’s largest brokerage firm/joined

The same day closures of The Journal and Southam Inc.’s Winnipeg Tribune led to creation of the three-man commission before which he was testifying Rennie said Thomson, unlike Southam and some other newspaper chains, is interested only in making money "There’s no sense of their community responsibility," he said of Thomson “It’s just a matter of pillage the community for every nickel they can get out of it.”.After The Journal was sold to Thomson in January along with other papers in the FP chain, Rennie said he repeatedly asked publisher Arthur Wood to get assurances from head office ‘‘that we were not doomed ” But he ran into “a wall of silence.” Yoko: Not end of era labelling inflation the No.1 problem in the U S.Both tax cuts and budget cuts are needed to fight inflation and stimulate productivity, said Regan, whose appointment gives the cabinet roster an economic spokesman the Reagan team hopes will be respected both in Congress and in financial circles.Stockman, who will inherit the job of molding the federal budget into the shape Reagan wants, noted that during the campaign Reagan promised at least a two-percent cut.“and I think there's no indication that w'e will back off from that." Weinberger, who acquired the nickname “Cap the Knife” for his budget-cutting work in the Nixon administration, was asked about his plans for national defence."1 support a strong American military force wherever it is in our best interest to do so,” he said, refusing to go into specifics.C OMBINK BALANCE’ Reagan said in a statement that the first eight appointees “combine a balance of experienced hands with fresh faces, new ideas and seasoned perspectives.” The presidentelect still must name seven more cabinet-level appointees, and sources say he will move quickly to nominate Haig as secretary of state.NEW YORK (CP) — John Eennon's widow pleaded Thursday for an end to dispair by the late rock music star’s fans, saying her husband would have wanted them to be optimistic about the future “People are committing suicide,” Yoko Ono said.“They are sending me telegrams saying that this is the end of an era and everything.I am really so concerned.“But this is not the end of an era.Starting Over (Lennon’s last single release) still goes.The 1980s are still going to be a beautiful time and John believed in it.” Lennon was gunned down Monday night outside the Dakota, the fashionable apartment house on New York’s West Side where he and his family lived.Mark David Chapman, 25, has l)een charged wdth the crime and is undergoing psychiatric examination Two of Lennon’s fans committed suicide following his death.LEFT SUICIDE NOTE In Brooksville, Fla , Colleen Costello, 16, died of an overdose of sleeping pills.Her mother said she left a suicide note saying she was depressed about Lennon's death Police said a 30-year-old man in Salt Lake City, Utah, Michael Craig, shot and killed himself while in a despondent mood about Lennon’s death Thinking that an era had ended was contrary to the beliefs of Lennon and herself, Ono said “Please remember that he had deep faith and concern for life, and though he has now joined the greater force, he is still with us here.” She said that was why her earlier call for 10 minutes of silent prayer throughout the world at 2 p.m.Sunday was so important.‘‘Everyone must pray together so that it will be the way John believed in.John loved and prayed for the human race.Please pray the same for him.” Levesque aid gave Cyr QHC recommendation QUEBEC (CP)-LucCyr, whose name is at the centre of allegations of patronage within the Quebec Housing Corp , was hired to a top job in the corporation on the recommendation of a key aide to Premier Rene Levesque, a national assembly committee learned Thursday.Pressed hard by opposition Liberals, Housing Minister Guy Tardif admitted that Jean-Roch Boivin, the premier’s executive assistant, had urged that Cyr be hired to head the repairs division of the corporation.Cyr was hired in 1977 on a contract basis without public tenders, Liberal Fernand I^londe has revealed.Tardif also admitted under opposition questioning that while in the employ of the corporation, Cyr gave contracts to several relatives, including his son and daughter.Lalonde called the hiring of Cyr “an imprudent appointment influenced by political power,” although he said he did not question the integrity of the housing minister.Other revelations currently being examined by the committee include the fact that the corporation, for reasons of convenience, granted a contract to Cyr's News in brief________________________ Brainwashing victim lives nightmare Polish army may be used construction company, rather than to him personally, when it came time to renew the initial contract.That contract was also awarded without tenders.AGENT INVOLVED Among the directors of Cyr's firm was Yvan Gaudreau, volunteer auditor of the accounts of the Parti Québécois and official agent for Premier Levesque in Taillon riding in the 1976 provincial election.Cyr’s son was also hired as a purchasing agent by the housing corporation, but the government says he was dismissed when corporation officials learned of his family ties.VANCOUVER (CP) — Robert Logie says he was a guinea pig for the U.S.Central Intelligence Agency, and constantly relives a nightmare of hospital brainwashing sessions that included hallucinogenic injections and massive electric shocks.He and four other Canadians launched a $5 million suit Thursday in Washington against the U.S.government.Labrador may get generating station OTTAWA ( CP ) — A proposed hydroelectricity generating station on the Lower Churchill River in I^abrador can be built if certain environmental and social conditions are fulfilled.Environment Minister John Rob-erLs said Thursday.Roberts made the announcement as he released an environmental assessment review panel report on the proposal by the Lower Churchill Development Corp.to build a generating station at either Muskrat Falls or Gull Island.Const group mulls abortion OTTAWA (CP) — Parliament's constitution committee is being asked to take a stand on two of the country’s most explosive social issues abortion and homosexuality.Unless the 25 MPs and senators on the committee recommend changes to Prime Minister Trudeau’s proposed constitutional amendments, it appears the courts will be left to decide whether women have the right to abortion.Cold may damage lungs EDMONTON (CP) — Recent studies on a medical disorder known as Eskimo lung have helped to prove that exertion in extreme cold can damage the lungs.The studies were based at the northern medical research unit of the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton The results were published in the Nov.22 edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.They showed that Eskimo lung is caused when people breath through their mouths instead of their noses in temperatures lower than 25 degrees.Dr Otto Schaefer said at the research unit.The condition, widespread in the North, involves chronic obstructive lung disease, dilated pulmonary arteries, hypertension and damage to the right side of the heart.WASHINGTON (AP) — Army readiness in eastern Poland has been increased in what U.S.analysts describe as the first concrete indication that Poles — not Soviets — might be used to suppress popular unrest.The report by U.S.intelligence sources came Thursday after Poland’s army newspaper repeatedly warned the country’s independent labor movement against any actions that would threaten the Communist hold there.The paper hinted Poland’s armed forces might take a direct hand to suppress dissent.Reports reaching Washington say all of Poland’s army divisions assigned to eastern Poland have been ordered to an 80-per-cent level of readiness.U.S.specialists said this is considerably higher than normal.Oil ownership 'phoney'—NDP critic OTTAWA (CP) — The government’s new bill to force 50 per cent Canadian ownership of oil and gas production is so “phoney” even Exxon, the giant multinational, could qualify through loopholes, the New Democratic Party energy critic said Thursday.Ian Waddell told the Commons that Exxon could still own 70 per cent of a project, through its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil Ltd., but the project could meet the “Canadianization” requirements of the legislation if Imperial had an all-Canadian partner.Hamilton takes Thomson post TORONTO (CP) — Margaret Hamilton, who joined Thomson Newspapers Ltd.in 1949 as an accountant in her home town of Galt, Ont., has been appointed president and chief operating officer of the newspaper group.The company said Thursday she replaces St.Clair McCabe, who will continue as president of Thomson Newspapers Inc , with offices in Des Plaines.111., and Tampa, Fla.Indian women won't hold breath FREDERICTON (CP) — The chairman of the Union of New Brunswick Indians says Sandra Lovelace may have a long wait before the federal government delivers on its promise to restore Indian status to her and other women who have married non-Indians."I wouldn't want to be holding my breath," Grayden Nicholas said in an interview Thursday.Clark hangs tough In a bid to show the party faithful he s hard-nosed enough to remain boss, Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark attacked the federal government Thursday for its palriation plan and national energy policy as Canada's constitutional debate continued across the nation.His strident address to about too people at the Kitchener Confederation Club, some of whom may he delegates at the party's national convention in February, differed notably from the relaxed speeches he delivered to local high school students during his two-day tour of the area Clark said Western resentment at the energy policy and constitutional debate has contributed to increased separatist sentiment, “but it would lie tragic if they abandon a great country simply because Ihey have a bad government " Unlike Quebec, where separatism was regarded as the sole means to protect a culture, Western Canadians are "turning to separatism because they feel they have no choice.” he said “It is not a positive choice, it is a choice caused by frustration 7 Clark said the federal energy plan, as outlined in the October federal budget, ignores Canada s economic needs and abandons the country's capacity for energy self-sufficiency.In New York, Premier Brian Peck-ford of Newfoundland said the federal government's proposal to turn over its share of earnings from Hibernia to the province is a smokescreen hiding a resources grab by Ottawa In a speech to the Canadian Society of New York on Thursday, Peckford again insisted that the rich offshore potential of the Hibernia reserves belong to the province.He called Hibernia a “giant and may well have gianl friends" referring to the oilfield 165 nautical miles off the southeast Newfoundland coast "Quite likely, there is one billion barrels of recoverable reserves at Hibernia at this hour and a 50-to 60-per cent probability in that whole area we have somewhere around 10 billion barrels of oil lo be discovered and developed," Peckford said A record turnout for a Canadian Society dinner about 550 people representing a cross section of the U S.business community gave Peckford a warm welcome.In B C , partisan politics overshadowed Canada’s constitutional crisis Thursday as the H O.legislature without the support ot the Opposition New Democrats - approved a resolution supporting early palriation of the British North America Act The resolution asked the 57 members of the legislature, in re affirming their allegiance to Canada, to support early palriation with an amending formula agreed to by all provinces and the federal government And Alberta’s propaganda war against the federal government stepped up Thursday as officials from the province’s energy and natural resources ministry came to (he financial capital of Eastern Canada to tell their side of the energy story Deputy minister Barry Mellon said the federal government which has people who "can't tell the difference between a giraffe and a drilling rig" dictating energy policy was distorting figures in its national energy program to make it appear Alberta w as getting a good deal Here in Quebec, National Assembly Speaker Claude Vaillancourl said Thursday he was not consulted about a government decision to make his office the receiving end for mail from people upset with the federal

- Call it re-entry or nouveau depart, brush-up or refresher, women today or.as Champlain College puts it.‘Today s Woman" and you have the hottest item on adult education markets in the 1980's.Montreal Women's Referral Centre chief Mona Forrest, after organizing job-search workshops for 600 women this year says the best advice she can give women entering or re-entering the job market today is to equip themselves with speed typing, speed reading and some computer experience.But what if you’re at home with the kids and the laundry isn't even done in spite of the fact you’re a full-time cook, bottle washer, homework consultant, confidante and helpmate?You may hesitate about going out to a course.At least four Townships women will tell you that no hesitation is needed."After all,” says Betty Blenkhorn, "it’s not as if people who are older like me have to trudge through a campus of seventeen-year-olds.’ ' Knowing this, course designer and director Leliann Beaudouin placed Today’s Woman off-campus at Dominion and Ontario in the former Leblanc School.A mad scramble for a good seat, for teacher attention and for missed homework is not what most women coming from the relative isolation of home life really need Blenkhorn and colleague June Webb enthuse about the special attention they receive from their teachers And they, along with their comrades-in-arms Gabriel Duncan and Bonnie Desindes all agree with the course brochure's boast of "a warm and friendly atmosphere”.These four, out of 65 students enrolled in September have been hard at work speedwriting, typing, accounting, learning French, business law and business procedures.The course is designed to catch the very young re-entry candidate as well as the more mature.No high school leaving certificate is required, a registration fee costs $10 the first time you register and tuition is free.You just have to be 18 and out of school for at least one year.Webb lias a five-course load in secretarial skills, and runs the home for her two school-age children and three in their twenties plus her husband without skipping a beat.But she feared the worst until her discovery: "My house is clean and my baking done.” Duncan finds her children help more.Blenkhorn takes a two-course load and finds it suits her.Her goal is enrichment, not a job, and she appreciates the contact with women of different age groups and interests, the discipline of being somew here at a definite hour and the concentration that a series of tasks develops.“People shouldn't be afraid of taking just one or two classes.” she says."Even one per semester gets you out and makes you more valuable to the community as you're acquiring new skills." But the barrier for some women may be fear, fear of the unknown, fear perhaps of failure "I was more than just timid." says Desindes."But after a semester we know we can do it.There’s a feeling of achievement and a feeling of sharing." Sharing becomes important in a world where much learning is done 1mm others.But typing and shorthand teacher Jane Draper says her students couldn't be more motivated."They're so pleasant to teach.” The women in turn include all the teachers in the “wonderful” category."They understand our needs,” claims Desindes.“They give us so much of their time and they bend deadlines for us.” Draper makes sure her students get letters and manuscripts to type right away.They are not confined to long days of fingering exercises of “the quick brown fox” variety.On-campus rosters advertising the course succumbed to the onslaught of radical feminists w hose blue and green stickers announced "This is insulting to w omen " But as Forrest points out "Everything is good in terms of getting you back in the world Agencies are there to provide tools to women at the level they ask for “If some women feel that secretarial positions are demeaning it may be because they hold elite positions and think nobody should do this work I wonder who they think is going to do it.” “It’s our ticket back into the work world.” says Desindes.“Maybe others don’t see it that way but we know what we want and where we're going.” Beaudouin hopes other women will swell the ranks for the new semester starting January 9.She's willing to organize car pools and an on-the-spot day care centre either on a daily basis or for elementary school planning days.And she is looking forward to the graduation of her first students in secretarial or administrative techniques.Meanwhile, the women are enjoying themselves.“You know what’s fun?” says Blenkhorn."Writing an exam and passing it.” BETTY BLENKHORN .broadens horizons Gordon Green Cosy memories of old milk bottles Do you remember what a bottle of milk used to look like when you were a kid?Remember the way the cream used to come to the top and on a frosty winter's morning your bottle would be wearing a stove-pipe hat by the time you took it in for breakfast0 Remember how the neighbor's tomcat sometimes got to that protruding hat of frozen cream before you could take it inside?But except for free enterprising cats, there was something rather cosy about yesterday's bottle with the cream at the top of it.If mom was the first one up in the morning (as was then thought quite proper), and if she was still in love with her husband, she would drain off the top of that bottle for her husband’s coffee.(To hell with the little beggars who never wanted to get out of bed in the morning 1 Skim milk was plenty good enough for them.) Or if she had come to that point in the weary endurance of married bliss where she was as bored with her hubby as she was with her kids, it was a very simple matter to share the wealth.All she had to do was to flick the bottle upside down two or three times and the cream would again be mixed all through it.But then in the mid 30's the great people began to move into the milk business and they weren’t too pleased with that three or four inches of cream that worked its way to the top of the bottle It so happened that in those days women were not so cholesterol conscious as they are today and they thought that the more cream that came to the top of the bottle, the better the milk.The milkman whose bottles had the deepest cream line was generally the one who got her business.And in every town and city there was a wide choice of milkmen in those days.When the big boys began to move in, the first thing they had to do was to get rid of the competition of these smaller outfits and that was hard to do, especially since they intended to give milady no more cream in the bottle than the law demanded And so came the wonderfully clever idea of homogenization, a process which simply broke up the fat globules in the milk so that the cream would no longer rise to the top no matter how long the milk sat on the doorstep.The process sounds very uncomplicated It involved a high pressure pump which sucked the milk in through one valve and them pumped it out through another.But the out pump forced the milk against a metal plate at tremendous velocity, and it was the force which made the globules disintegrate But the machinery necessary was expensive - too expensive for most of the smaller dairies to instal All that was necessary was to somehow convince the housewife that homogenized milk was really the only civilized milk to buy As a voung man in the hungry days before the war, I had the job of doing that very thing "Tell her that homogenization makes a more stable emulsion,” we were advised.She wouldn't understand that, of course, and that was to our advantage It was also to our advantage that homogenization sounded as scientifically necessary as pasteurization.We must have done our job well because the companies we worked lor have now become multinational corporations and unhomogenized milk has practically disappeared Just one more example, it seems, of how we can be led to accept and to pay for something which we neither wanted nor needed Conservation violation tried SWEETSBURG WARD (JM> — Normand Dupont, of Bedford, changed his option and pleaded guilty to 10

Pierre Paradis told local environmentalists Saturday.Paradis met informally with representatives from End Of The Line, the Singer Mountain Protection Association, and the Selby Lake Association to reaffirm his commitment to solving local pollution problems.Top Townships talk SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Lucien Racicot, of St.Jean, changed his option and pleaded guilty to 40 counts of breaking and entering dwellings in the Venise area during May and June.“I have no alternative but to suggest a penitentiary term, considering his prior record and his modus operandi,” Crown attorney Claude Noiseux said.Racicot was on ticket of leave after having served six years on a charge of armed robbery and was delivering bread in the Missisquoi Bay district when he staked out potential victims."My client married recently and has a child,” Daniel Giard said.“He will be able to start a new life when he is released and I think the suggestion of the crown is most reasonable considering all the circumstances.” “I will be extremenly clement despite the number of charges considering your prior record,” Judge Gerard Normandin said.“I received a letter from your wife earlier this week and she appears to truly love you and wants to help you when you are eventually released when I hope you will make a man of yourself.The sentence of the court is two years, concurrent on each count, and you will be bound over to keep the peace for two years following your release.” + + + “It is the strangest holdup in all my years of practice,” Judge Gerard Normandin, who is to retire at the end of the year, said in the case of Paul Andre Beaudet.Beaudet, of Sherbrooke renounced his right to preliminary hearing and pleaded guilty to a charge of armed robbery at the Cowansville Caisse Populaire on Sept.4 He escaped on foot with a marked package of bills and was apprehended by assistant police chief Gaston Lacroix less than a quarter of a mile for the scene of the crime "He signed his name to the ransom note and wasn't armed," Crown sttorney Claude Noiseux said."He must have been on cloud nine and I sometimes wonder if there was prior criminal intent, although I must consider a conviction in Sherbrooke in 1976 on a similar charge He has been held since his arrest, there was no direct violence considering the extraordinary circumstances.I feel an adequate penalty would be 12 months with a recommendation he be sent to the Pinel Institute for treatment.” Defence lawyer Claude Hamann concurred with the suggestion of the crown.Judge Normandin imposed the one-year term and ordered prison authorities to have Beaudet sent for immediate treatment prior to binding him over to keep the public peace for two years following his release _______________________+ + + Andre l*imarre, of

curbing the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil, and ending industrial contamination of the Pike River.Paradis presented a six-part plan of action.Immediately, he pledged to help End Of The Line keep an eye on the Quebec government’s special investigative task force.Supposed to study health hazards posed by use of asbestos as railroad ballast, the task force is chaired by a former member of the committee that recommended using the asbestos in the first place.Paradis said he would raise this point during question period in the national assembly, the first chance he gets w'hen environment minister Marcel Leger is present.Paradis will also recommend that the Canadian Pacific Railroad and McGill University consult asbestos line neighbours in conducting their own independent survey.Of the four major asbestos line studies thus far undertaken, not one has been under supervision of trackside residents.Paradis further promised to report within a week as to what existing legislation might be used against CPR to force a cleanup, if the company proves unresponsive upon com pleting their own study.In addition, he will work to get Brieflets LKWOX VILLE Annual Candlelight Vesper Service

that under a Liberal government, the asbestos line would receive immediate, serious attention, and added that the Liberals have no intention of expropriating the failing Quebec asbestos industry.“If private enterprise can sell asbestos, all right,” he told the group, “but we will not be sponsoring the National Asbestos Corp.to promote asbestos where there is no safe use or demand for it.” Paradis said he hadn't heard before of Eurasian watermilfoil.a weed found in Lake Massawippi, Lake Selby, Missisquoi Bay, and Lac St Pierre.Accidentally imported from Europe, it entered Quebec 10 years ago, and has had a crippling effect upon summer tourism by destroying swimming, fishing, and boating areas.After listening to milfoil expert Paul Rivard s presentation, Paradis scheduled another meeting with Rivard to get further details.Paradis told the Singer Mountain group that he will try to obtain for them a copy of the environmental impact statement the government was supposed to publish last

since 1897 Good start With one hefty swipe, Quebec Transport Minister Denis de Belleval has proposed radical changes in the province’s Highway Code calculated to change the way Quebecers drive — and about time.The Highway Safety Code tabled yesterday establishes a system of fines with plenty of backbone and an ominous fate for repeat traffic offenders — cancellation, not just suspension — of the offender’s licence.To renew it, he or she must reapply.Pedestrians get the right of way in some instances, an act of liberation every bit as stirring as the black vote and universal suffrage.Schoolbus passers are doomed to huge fines.So are lane-change artists, tailgaters and drivers of wrecks.For the first time children are protected by a seat belt law if they’re in the front seat — along with everybody else.No more little kids with broken jaws because they wanted to ride up front.No helmet freedom in Quebec for bikers — they must be worn.Speeders will pay per five-kilometre-per-hour slice over the limit depending on how much over the limit they’re going; the fellow doing 55 kph in a 50 zone will pay as much as the driver doing 105 on the autoroute.By all reports it’s a massive tome — 600 articles.But the old Highway Code hasn’t been fully amended since 1924, so it’s about time.Mr.De Belleval’s basic philosophy emerges in his comments on the compulsqry wearing of seatbelts ( $25 to $50 if you don’t ) : “There are those who think the individual should be able to decide whether to use a seat-belt.But their arguments.don’t make sense; in the case of accidents, the collectivity has to.pay the cost of his hospitalization, pensions.and what about the freedom of choice for the children and babies killed each year because their parents neglected to give them the advantages of the seat belt or the safety-seat?” J AMES Dl l I Keep those wonderful Xmas cards coming W'hile some grumble when confronted with the task of sending out their Christmas cards, all of us love to receive them.Annually we are able to catch up on the news of faraway friends and give forth with our own.The greeting card companies make a bundle and try their best to influence us with slogans that we should care enough to send the very best and other such come-ons which are pretty much ignored, thank goodness.I remember many years ago some affluent friends always ordered Henri Fayette cards at $2 each.They fell on hard times and had to lower their standard of living rather drastically, but darned if the next Christmas they didn’t send out their regular Fayette cards! People’s priorities never cease to amaze me.It wasn’t too long ago that custom had it that cards should be sent to absolutely everyone we knew.Next-door neighbours, close friends we saw at least five times a week, the parking lot attendant, you name it.With the price of postage ever climbing, many now exchange greetings in person or Jean Haig by phone.Other decisions have to be made at this time, such as whether to send your cards in plenty of time to have questions answered or wait and answer the sender’s questions.And who hasn’t had to make a quick dash to the store to buy extra cards to be mailed immediately to a surprise sender?Or trying to remember whether or not it’s been one or two years without a card from the Wisps wrhom we met briefly 12 years ago at a convention in Saskatoon and haven’t seen since?One year can be a mistake, but after two years you simply put a line through their name.There is uneasiness when you are missing a message from a dear friend and relief when it arrives and you read that all is well.This year 1 have received two cards that I would not put in the traditional category.The first was a plain card stamped with Season’s Greetings, and underneath the sender's name and address, a picture of a pumpkin.The second was an empty stamp book.Inside was a picture of a red cardinal and the name of the sender.Hopefully this won’t be a trend.I’d miss the snow scenes and the pictures of stockings hung by the fire.Another new one this year was a card with a religious theme and inside were the letters P.T.O., which I did and an arrow told me that it had been tongue painted by P.Spencer and the sender had written “Gotcha ”, Makes you think.Most everyone receives at least one card which encloses a long photocopied page telling of the comings and goings of a whole family — usually large.The amazing part is that these sagas tell wondrous tales of the whole family doing clever productive things.Wow! Three hundred and sixty five days and not a bad moment.I can't help but wonder if possibly these letters have been edited for Christmas.It taxes the imagination somewhat to believe that a family of six children ranging in age from 15 to 26 years old could sail through a year without a cloud on the horizon.I remember one such bulletin which read “our Stephen has taken a few months off from school to spend with Gran and Cramps on their farm.” Not long after I heard that good old Stephen had been caught red-handed with some hot goods and was doing time on a work farm — albeit not far from Cramps.Another letter informed me that Suzy-Belle was in Africa doing important work, only to learn from someone else that she was living it up on a commune in Morocco When our family gathers together at Christmas one of the high points in merriment is reading aloud these letters, then speculating on what the real story is.Nevertheless 99 per cent of the Christmas mail can bring on a mood of some nostalgia but mostly warm happy remembrances as old friends reach out with love and good wishes which carry us through the weeks to come.Letters The Mat Night calf was already dead Editor : I would like to take this opportunity to reply through your page to AGRHS Friends Of Animals Club.I commend you on your interest in the welfare of animals and intent to inform the public.With this in mind, I am passing on some information to help you better inform the student body and anyone else you are able to reach You should be relieved to learn the true facts concerning the calf that was allegedly killed by being dragged behind a car in Lennoxville.The calf did not die by being dragged behind a car, It died in a farmer’s barn after having been sick for about two weeks and had in fact been dead for over 24 hours before reaching Lennoxville.These days a calf is a valuable commodity to a farmer and the loss of one represents enough financial loss that much time and money is spent doctoring a sick calf.Instead of this particular carcass being hauled to the edge of the woods and dumped for coyotes and stray dogs to dispose of, it was taken in the back of a truck, and dumped in a hotel for a Hallowe’en prank.I don’t believe you need to be concerned about cruelty to farm animals.These days they represent such a large financial investment to the farmers, they'll take good care of them for that reason alone if not for the love of animals.An area where I think people need to be informed is the over-population problem of dogs and cats.Everytime 1 see an ad in the paper for litters of puppies or kittens to be given away, I cringe in disgust at the person’s ignorance in adding to this problem.How many of these animals are given away to people who take them because they are free, then end up neglecting them after the new wears off?Talk to anyone who lives on a country road a few miles from the city and find out about all the strays that are dropped off to fend for themselves.Imagine a cat or dog separated from the one it has come to love and to trust, wandering alone, cold and hungry, in the country.The large dogs are perhaps the luckiest as they soon make The Great Bo Derek Poster Affair revisited How it all began : Editor: On November 27, members of a coalition of women’s groups in Sherbrooke and vicinity held a press conference at the CEGEP de Sherbrooke The purpose of the conference was to inform the public of the events surrounding my removal from the Bishop’s University campus for protesting a poster which I believe condones violence against women.Although my removal occurred on October 24, by November 27 a description of the incident had still not appeared in article form in any of the various local English papers, either on or off campus.I am, therefore, deeply concerned, after reading The Record article of November 28, that members of the English community with access only to the English press still do not have a clear description of the incident For those of your readers who wish to obtain a better understanding of the incident and the ensuing events, the Committee for the Defense of Sondra Corry will supply that information in English.Louise Carreau, a member of the committee with an excellent command of the English language, can be reached at 562-1380.Readers can also contact me at 567-3403 SONDRA CORKY.Sherbrooke The explanation A poster had been placed in a display case in the students’ union building.It promoted the movie “10", and showed a tiny, helpless man hanging by a thin chain from the neck of a head- and neck-less female torso Sondra Corry attached a small hexagonal stick er, saying, “STOP! This is Offensive, Insulting and Degrading to WOMEN" to the glass in front of the poster.She was seen by a stu dent who told her not to.An argument ensued.Corry told the group which had gathered that she should come back and remove the poster Later on that day she was removed from the campus without resistance and told by the guard to stay away.Later that day she accosted Nicholl in the hall outside his office, where he told her that, of course she could still use the library and other campus facilities.The poster disappeared and the next week, after receiving a complaint from stu dents.Lennoxville police asked Corry and the students involved for an interview in their office.The police concluded that there was insufficient evidence to file a charge Sources: SONDRA CORRY ; ( ST.RICH \RD ROY ‘There’s a factor of fear’ Continued from Page One movie poster, a group of students and herself outside the Bishop’s Student Union in late October “Women have to learn to organize before they can speak out on these issues,” Corry adds One of her great hopes is that a general group will organize, an umbrella group co-ordinating the efforts of all kinds of women's groups all over the Townships, French and English And sexism and its overthrow may just be the cause to do it “There is a factor of fear in the English community, the penalties of losing jobs and friends a real psychological fear to many " A graduate of Goddard College, she is working on a master’s program in women's rights which became a study of pornography and ended with a series of articles in The Record linking nude shots of Brooke Shield on the front of a photography magazine with violence against women And she deplored the fact these magazines - and thousands more salacious were on sale in supermarkets, in newsstands, in plain view of children and adults alike, right here in Sherbrooke "When I began work on the issue of pornography, I realize one cannot be an activist from a distance, This is a great lesson for us ” Corry has made plenty of enemies since she began her vociterous attacks on sexism The first couple of weeks after the Bishop's incident, one male student followed her around, even to the point of sitting next to her at the library And she doesn’t think he was an admirer "But I’ve also gotten very close to people, I’ve gotten support from unexpected sources " The fight is everywhere, on all fronts H Gordon Green, The Record’s curmudgeonly columnist, has taken blow after blow from Corry and fellow letter-writers who object to his sometimes familiar fashion of referring to women •• the little lady, the weaker sex, chicks, udder bosom comparisons, extramarital sex, sex-stereotyping Corry sees a battle coming with the school boards, to change the sex implanting im petus found in many Townships schools Sex education should start with toddlers and be present in the system right up to and including the moment a female student is able to register for a tech voc training course like welding without a lot of adverse pressure falling on her head, she adds Jobwise, says Corry, being a militant feminist isn’t easy ‘‘One can teach or gravitate to the feminist press where there’s no money ’’ Money would be nice but for Sondra Corry, the work has to be done, paid or not By CHARLES Bl R\ Once again today.The Record’s editorial page is graced by a letter from Sondra Corry, Sherbrooke's only, lonely one-track English speaking militant feminist.She is entitled to her opinions.But over the last couple of weeks, we also have received copies of several open letters addressed to Dr.C.I.H.Nicholl, principal of Bishop's University.Signed by various marginal groups in the Sherbrooke area claiming to speak for the "women of the Eastern Townships”, these letters, written in French, are almost identical in style and content But The Record has neither the space nor the time to translate them into English.The letters come from: The Sherbrooke committee for the status of women, the general association of students (male and female) of social service of the Université de Sherbrooke, the Sherbrooke house of women, the rape victims’ assistance service, etc.Along with other groups such as the women university graduates’ association, the E.T one-parent families association, the Sherbrooke women’s health centre, the status of women committees of the CEGEP de Sherbrooke and the Sherbrooke Region, members of the Quebec women's federation, the birth humanization group.l’Escale de 1’Estrie, the single mothers' self-help network, the University Women’s Club of Sherbrooke (surprisingly) and the Quebec league of women, the letter writers are members of another group, sometimes called the Sondra Corry Support Committee ( SONCORSUPCOM ), sometimes the Sondra Corry Defence Committee (SONCORDKFCOM).Perhaps they could shorten the name to SON-CORSUPDKFCOM The SONCONSUPDEFCOM letters follow a press conference held in late November, at which the local media in general ( and The Record in particular) were accused of failing to report adequately on Corry’s “removal" from the Bishops campus follow ing the sticking of some stickers over a poster for a movie on the grounds that the poster was "Offensive.Insulting, and Degrading to WOMEN" Dr Nicholl is also attacked in the letters The writers demand that Corry be allowed full access to the campus, which, they say is her “right" They accuse Nicholl of telling Corry she “could not express her opinions openly on campus” They “require him to allow her to circulate freely on campus and be able to express her ideas freely." They “insist equally that you ( Nicholl » ase all the means in your power over Madame (sic) Claire Delisle, interim editor of The Campus (Bishop’s student newspaper! so that she retracts publicly the injurious and con temptuous statements regarding Sondra Corry ” Delisle is said in the letters to have accused Corry of being stupid and suffering from “paranoid schizophrenia", although her name doesn't appear in the article in question Corry has also taking to harassment herself, attacking one local journalist (uninvolved in the story > publicly with silly, misdirected accusations, and nagging at .Site.m, SONDRA CORRY .lonely fight?others privately.In a telephone interview with The Record, Nicholl says “Corry is allowed the same privileges on campus as any other guest." (She is not a student anywhere in Quebec).“She may not tear down posters or put up stickers on boards without the permission of the person responsible." just like any student But, he says, "if she wants to stand in a doorway and give out handbills or something like that, that’s perfectly acceptable." In general, Nicholl adds, sexism and feminist militancy at Bishop’s "doesn't seem to be an issue apart from Sondra Corry.It’s certainly not one of our priority problems, not something that comes up often " For himself, Nicholl finds this whole issue "such bad publicity for the cause they (SONCORSUPDEFCOM i claim to advance It’s a very odd way to convince people." The SONCORSUPDEFCOM sticker brigade have also been seen lately all over the campus When one student apparently asked them to stop, they are said to have been "abusive" with her The trouble with one-issue activists is that they lose all sense of proportion Their perspective goes out the window (or gets covered by a sticker i.They demand things they have no business demanding They insist on the re instatement of rights that have never been taken away They want the principal to censor a newspaper belonging to someone else Their self-importance becomes self indulgence Their minds go blind SONCORSUPDEFCOM are a teapot looking for a tempest One of their letters says they are not “witches who cast spells" That’s true Witches were taken out and burned at the slake These followers should tic taken out and forgotten their presence known by undesirable actions due to hunger and get themselves shot.But what happens to the small helpless animals?Few people bother picking them up and taking them to the SPCA.Still fewer take them in and give them homes, as people who are fond of pets usually already have enough of them.This problem could easily be overcome if everyone would control the production of offspring among his or her ow'n pets.Anyone who owns a non-pedigreed dog or cat should have it neutered.That is the easiest solution.Unfortunately this may be too expensive for some people.There is still something you can do if you can’t afford to have your female spayed.You can dispose of the kittens or puppies as soon as they are born, perhaps leaving one for the mother if she shows a strong maternal instinct.You should be able to find a good home for one kitten or pup twice a year, until you have saved the money for that operation! It is really not a big problem disposing of newborn kittens.All you need is a pail of lukewarm water and a cloth large enough to wrap them in and tie securely.If you feel you are not able to hold them under until they drown, perhaps you could put a heavy object on the bottom of the cloth before you place the babies.Needless to say, this should not be done in front of the mother.Granted this is not a pleasant job but it is a better alternative than what the future holds for unwanted dogs and cats.You can inform people and make them aware of the cruelty they are causing cats and dogs by allowing them to breed indiscriminately, but to get them to do something about it is another thing.Maybe it is expecting too much when people can’t seem to be able to control the human population in spite of science and medicine having given us the means.R.LOUISE SARRASIN, Sherbrooke Race director says thanks Editor : On behalf of the organizing committee of the Terry Fox run, held on November 30, I would

today.In exactly one year Canada will pass the fiftieth anniversary of her independence from Britain.In all likelihood the date will come and go without anyone being aware of its significance.I hope Canadians can be found who can recognize the importance of one of the most basic facts of our national existence.I teach Canadian Studies at Humber College, a community college in Rexdale.Ontario.I am not a provincialist or a federalist but an unashamed nationalist.ADRIAN ADAMSON Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology.Box 1900, Rexdale, Ontario M9W 5L7 Amid all the talk of independence, Canada's own independence day slipped by unnoticed yesterday.Thursday.December 11, 1980.Canadians are going to work or school.Banks and stock exchanges are open for business.Parliament is in session.The PHridmas shopping rush is in full swing.Nothing is out of the ordinary but for one thing: today is Canadas independence day.and nobody knows it We have heard a lot about independence in 1980 This is the year Quebeckers voted on independence in a referendum Now many Albertans are threatening independence unless they get their way.Native groups are demanding independence for their areas.And.in London, a supposedly independent country is trying to retrieve its constitution amid acrimonious debate.But yesterday was really Canada's own independence day.On this day in 1931 over 350 years of colonial rule by one European country or another came to an end.Canada has been independent for exactly forty-nine years In any other country this would be a date of national significance.But not in Canada.Here our day of independence passes without notice.It is the best-kept secret in Canadian history.How did this happen?The instrument by which Canada became independent is the Statute of Westminster, Canada’s other constitutional document, passed by the British Parliament on this date in 1931.Canada and five other former "dominions", including Newfoundland, became sovereign, independent states The earlier British North America Act of 1867 gaveCanada “dominion status or internal self government, not in dependence The Dominion of Canada was a British colony The BNA Act is the constitution of a colony.Nowhere in the Act can one find pow ers to conduct foreign policy, raise an army, exchange diplomats, sign treaties, declare war or exercise any of the powers of a sovereign state.All these powers were reserved for the British Government, which legislated on our behalf.In 1931, after more than a decade of pressure mainly from Canada, under Prime Ministers Robert Borden and William Lyon Mackenzie King, the British Government gave up the right to disallow- Canadian legislation and turned over all the sovereign powers to the Government of Canada.At our request, Britain retained the right to amend the Constitution.Thus, the King became the King of Canada ; the Governor-General became the representative of the Crown, not of the British Government.Winston Churchill, then in opposition.attacked the proposal with all the rhetorical skill he later turned on the Germans, but the measure w as rushed through Parliament anyway Why.then, has Canada chosen to ignore this day and celebrate its "Constitution Day” instead, on July l0 The answ er probably lies somewhere in the depths of the Canadian soul For the tragedy is that Canadians seem to lack an understanding of the concept of independence itself Tradition minded Canadians seem to regret our independence, our idealists see it as a stage in the movement towards internationalism.Few of us seem to see much threat to the country in the dangerous slide into economic dependency.But perhaps the centrifugal forces that are tearing this country apart will soon run their course.Perhaps the time is coming when some of the forces that hold us together can emerge to start building a new consciousness.If the day ever comes when we can forget our ethnic divisions and celebrate instead our common nationality, Independence Day may become again a significant day in Canada We may then find that there is more to celebrate in December than Christmas.RED CROSS helps you to help others.End of the painful process?Village takes part in rabies-vaccine test TORONTO (CP) — Health officials near Barrie, Ont,, are not only hoping they will see the last of the disease they’re fighting these days but also the last of the medicine they’re administering.The disease is rabies, a potentially-fatal virus spread in the saliva of animals and particularly feared by health officials in Ontario, which sees more of the disease than anywhere else in North America.The medicine is Semple vaccine, which the local medical health officer admits he fears as well because of its neurological complications.Semple vaccine is being administered to 147 persons in the tiny hamlet of Lefroy, in the heart of Ontario cottage country.Simcoe County health officials, in conjunction with Connaught Laboratories Ltd., now are watching for after-effects.To complicate matters, there is an alternative treatment — human diploid cell vaccine — that was introduced to Ontario with much fanfare earlier this year.The newer vaccine was used in Ontario briefly but when it was needed to combat the Lefroy outbreak last month, there wasn’t any because the French company that makes it has encountered production problems.Conventional rabies treatment in Canada consists of 14 daily injections of Semple vaccine, usually in the abdomen.Dr, David Korn, Simcoe County medical health officer, says actual administering of the vaccine is not painful, as generally believed, What is unpleasant, Korn says, is that there are adverse effects with one in every third person receiving Semple vaccine, made from rabbit brain tissue.While 60 per cent of those receiving the treatment have no ill-effects, discomfort such as soreness, itching or inflammation is common.One in 20 persons reacts more violently, feeling weak, nauseous or developing headaches, Korn says.What's worse, he says, is that in one in 1,000 cases some forms of paralysis occurs.The use of diploid cell vaccine.taken from human cell tissue, requires fewer vaccinations and is believed to have less serious aftereffects.However, Dr.E.W.Pearson, director of medical and clinical affairs, says time will tell whether diploid is as safe as it has been touted.Ontario health ministry officials simply say they have no idea when the diploid vaccine will be available.Connaught Laboratories has since started work to develop a domestic version of the vaccine, but Pearson says there’s still more testing to be done.PRODUCTION FAILED’ "Production failed and we just haven't been able to get it," says Dr.Alvin Evans, senior veterinary consultant with the Ontario health ministry."It’s likely the last time we’ll be using it (Semple), but when we get the other is a good question,” Korn says."You can’t count your money until you have it in your hand." In addition, diploid cell is practical as a preventive GENERAL MANAGER Rainwear Manufacturing Our company requires the services of a General Manager to sel up a new Industrial Rain Wear manufacturing plant in Halifax, Nova Scofia.Reporting to the Board of Direct ors, the position will be responsible for planning, direct ing and controlling all manufacturing and support acti vitiesof the plant The successful candidate must possess the skills to com bine strong management with a complete knowledge of production He/she will have demonstrated ability to train production workers on machinery, and to initiate a strong production team.We offer a competitive compensation package, including relocation assistance.Reply In confidence with complete resume, stating salary expectation, to: Mr.Gordon King 2281 Brunswick Street Halifax, N.S.B3K2Y9 vaccine.People in high-risk occupations such as forest rangers and veterinarians can be immunized.The only advantage Semple has is cost.Individual treatment with human diploid costs $276.Semple costs $92.50.That s why Semple is used in antirabies treatment throughout the world, says Dr.D.H Percy, of the University of Western Ontario’s faculty of medicine.Human diploid is not the only alternative to Semple in fighting rabies, Duck embryo vaccine is widely used in the United States.But health officials here shy away from it because people allergic to eggs often have allergic reactions to duck embryo vaccine.GATHERS' INFORMATION Korn, one of the few Canadian doctors to use diploid cell vaccine — while working in Africa in 1972 — says he's gathering material about the complications of Semple vaccine, just in case the new medicine doesn’t arrive in time for the next serious rabies outbreak.Not only are health officials frustrated with the way they had to treat this outbreak, they’re upset that such a thing could happen in an area that has seen so much rabies in the past."The most frustrating thing about this thing is that it could happen again," Evans says.Residents of Ontario should know enough to keep away from strays, they say, but the Simcoe County outbreak stems from contact children had with a rabid kitten that was an unofficial schoolyard mascot."We keep screaming about stray pets," Evans says, "but to allow them to bring in a stray cat into the school that's dreadful.” Ontario is the rabies capital of North America because skunks and foxes —- the most common carriers of rabies — are locked into the southern part of the province by the Great Lakes system and it's time the population became alarmed, Evans says.IMMUNIZE ANIMALS Last year the Ontario natural resources ministry budgeted $2.65 million to spend over three years to control rabies among animals by immunizing them.The ministry is going as far as putting vaccine in small meat patties that are dropped from airplanes.4-H Club ends year's activities By CLAUDIA BOWERS SAWYERVILLE At the first general meeting of the new season, Sawyerville 4H members reviewed the year’s activities and made plans for the coming 12 months.The club, which boasts of the only horse club section operating in Quebec, had an active year.Activities included an exchange visit to Saskatchewan by two members, a sugar party held last spring and the annual tractor rodeo this fall.The horse club section held a Horse Care Clinic at Linda and Larry Hill’s this fall and another is scheduled under the leadership of Dr.Jolie, a veterinarian operating out of Sherbrooke.Following the regular meeting last week, another special meeting was held on Saturday to discuss plans for a benefit dance for the Brazels who lost their barn and livestock last Friday in a fire John and Janice Brazel have supported the Sawyerville club for years, and two of their three children are members Final ar- rangements were planned and the dance will take place this Friday, December 12 at the Sawyerville Elementary School.Local talent will provide the music and a lunch will be served.Any and all contributions will be gratefully accepted.Executive for this year include Kent Lowry, president and Christine Brazel, secretary-treasurer.Local senior leaders are Doreen Fletcher, Diane Dawson, Bernice Black, John Brazel and Warren Grapes.Six Sawyerville mem- bers attended agricultural college last year, four to Macdonald College and two to Kemptville.Three of these received Quebec Farmers’ Association bursaries;

The post office sends each writer a chatty reply about Santa's activities and encloses a picture puzzle.The letters which aren’t answered before Christmas will be ans wered in the new year “Obviously,” Lapierre said, “we’re not going to get through them all before Christmas.” One child chided Santa this year by writing: "Last year, I left you two glasses of milk and two cookies and a note asking you to w ake me up “You drank the milk and ate the cookies but you forgot to wake me up.This year, please wake me up.” WRONG ADDRESS Another child wrote: “Last year, I asked you for a baby brother.Then the lady across the street had a baby.1 think you got the address wrong.” ¦ ¦ 0) 0 c ID œ ?Walk, jog, run, skate, ski, swim, paddle, pedal don’t let life catch you with your head down Fitness is fun.Try some.panncipacrion VJ 'cnan^ bCl Jewelry fashion-facts, fictions PAUL NADEAU, Gemologist A GIFT CREATED BY NATURE ar ago last December, we In-ji;.ateti our mineralogical gallery Le Prisme’ , in the mezzanine of our Wellington Street store.My ambition was that this gallery be of service to students of natural sciences, to collectors and also to the general public which loves to enjoy all that is beautiful in nature.Proof of the interest that our little off-the-street museum has generated is the steady stream of visitors, many of whom have expressed their enthusiasm to me personally, to our staff or by their appreciative comments in our vis-tors’ book The marvels of nature are innumerable and most astonishing and mysterious is the uniqueness of each of her creations.The mineral crystals, the geodes, the coral tor-matmns, the shells are but a few tangibles, proof that nature never repeats itselt.A visit to our mineralogical gallery will provide you with many ideas tor original and unique Christmas gifts A geode for instance, one o! nature's earliest, most splendid works of art.Ours are at least two million years old and were found in soft volcanic lava beds in Central America.When split open, the geode reveals a spectacular natural sculpture of crystal clusters, various arrays of amethyst, smokey quartz, butterfly calcite and multi-banded agate.An unusual and elegant gift, very reasonably priced.Other beautilul decorative pieces are amethyst crystals from Thunder Bay.Ontario, or golden hessomte garnet clusters Irom Asbestos.Quebec.We also have a lovely assortment of shells from India or the South Seas that will be appreciated for their graceful shapes and delicate coloring thinner (7 I /tuJi'cm .9nt.Jewellers 82 Wellington No.SHERBROOKE 398 Main W.- MAGOG honneur 0.t Announcements Beginning fodoy, all announcements must be signed and include a telephone number.If we can't reach you to confirm you wrote it, we won't run it.No announcements by phone, please.MEUBLES GASTON AUCLAIR Best Deals In The Eastern Townships 41 Grégoire St.-Adomsville, Que.South at Exit 68 of Highway 10 Tel.: (514) 263-6193 or 263-6197 Waterloo Library news WATERLOO — Why not give a membership to Waterloo Pubiic Library for Christmas.The library, at 650 Court Street near the post office is full of inviting books for young and old.‘A child that reads, holds the world in his hands The library would like to see parents accompany children to sample the books on the shelves The cost of an annual membership is: Children: $2: Teens: $3.Grandparents: Special $3.for 60 years and over, Family: $10.- less than the price of one book.Hours: Monday, 3-4:30 p.m.; Wednesday, 7-8:30 p m.; Friday, 7-8:30 p m ; Saturday.10:30-12:00.Soon to be open Thursday afternoon.Landers ml ’me Everything for any Decoration ‘Residential ‘Commercial ‘Industrial 346 Principale—Cowansville, Que.Tel.: (514) 263-6399 - Res.263-0258 Dear Ann Landers: I just read your column and am boiling mad.It was the letter from the woman with the gay husband that ticked me off.I am sick to death of the way you tell these wives, “Gel professional help."

H.D.M.D.Bedford, Quebec MARG.MILLER Bedford, Quebec THE COW' (As seen by the automation expert) A cow is a completely automated milk-manufacturing machine.It is encased in untanned leather and mounted on four vertical, movable supports, one at each corner.The front end of the machine, or input, contains the cutting and grinding mechanism, utilizing a unique feedback device.Here also are the headlights, the air inlet and exhaust, a bumper and a foghorn.At the rear, the machine carries the milk-dispensing equipment as well as a built-in flyswatter and insect repeller.The central portion houses a hydrochemical conversion unit.Briefly, this consists of four fermentation and storage tanks connected in series by an intricate network of flexible plumbing.This assembly also contains the central heating plant complete with automatic temperature controls, pumping station and main ventilating system.The waste disposal apparatus is located to the rear of this central section.Cows are available, fully assembled, in an assortment of sizes and colours.Production output ranges from two to 20 tons of milk per year.In brief, the main external visible features of the cow are: Two lookers, two hookers, four standeruppers, four hanger downers and a swishy-wishy.There is a similar machine known as a bull.It gives no milk but has other US6S sent by KAY TAYLOR, Knowlton, Que.(From Now THAT’S Salesmanship) A CAT’S STORY Our cat is multi-coloured brown, Often times she seems to frown What would she say if she could speak?To say “This food’s not what I ordered, This house is much too bordered For independent cats like me, W'ith the Stereo and T V.It’s hard to see reality.’’ Seems like you have lots of voices; How do you make all those noises?“I’ve been collared and de-clawed too, To keep furniture more like new.-But I like to leave my mark there, My signature - and shedded hair.Other cats won’t venture near.That’s how it was with claws - no fears.The kittens I once raised, are gone; Chasing butterflies out on some lawn, Or basking in the shining sun; Hope they’ll be free to play and run! In my own way I am content.I’d also say it’s nice to have, Those special treats, for me they're meant.Like chicken saved, especially.And being cared for everyday; Brings out the “kitten’’ left in me.I hear familiar voices call, They want to know if I’m content.Well, yes I am, indeed.She always keeps me company; With “mews" she seems to question me Then I must figure what she needs, What would be said if she could speak?What could I understand?.H.D.M.D.Bedford, Quebec SANDHILL Mrs.R.Rothnev Friends in this community were saddened to hear of the death of .Mr Randall Williams of Bulwer which

Neither declarer had made the hand, but number one had been the man wrho misplayed it.Neither play was going to work the way the cards lay, but the jack play was going to lose unless East had made a mistake and ducked with ace-queen-small in which case either play would have won Transfer the ace and queen between the East and West hands and the king play made by declarer number two would have won so his play had been the correct one some who were ill.The scrapbook was on display with thanks to Mrs Thelma Wilkins for preparing it The treasurer reported no bills for today Correspondence was four letters which were ex plain eel Annual reports were given by the chairpesons of 16 committees as follow Treasurer's report.Ruth Bailey Decoration report and church cleaning report, both b\ Mary Jewett; Community Friendship and Visiting, May belle Cote; Communications.Thelma Wilkins, Food, Gilda Clark; Membership.Marguerite Ommerli; Missions.Mary Jew ett ; Organization.Bertha Nichols for Gloria Cabana; Press and Publicity, Maud Clark; Program.Bertha Nichols, Supply and Welfare, Ruth Bailey for Flora Jersey; Work.Thelma Wilkins; Worship.Louise Oliver; Subscriptions to the Observer.Viola Knowlton.Each report was moved for adoption by its chairperson and seconded bv a member of the UCW As Mrs.Mary Bailey found it necessary to retire from the Presidency, she offered to do the installation of officers for 1981 She called on the Chairperson of the Nomination Committee.Mrs Viola Knowlton.to give the new slate of officers, which read President for 1981 Mrs.Ross McNeil; 1st Vice-President - Mrs.Bruce Nichols, 2nd Vice-President - vacant.Secretary - Mrs.Harold Clark; and Treasurer - Mrs.Berton Bailey.Mary Bailey, now past- President.extended thanks to all the members who had helped her for the past two years, and handed the books and the bell to the new President and asked her to assume the chair.Mrs.McNeil found that the first item of business was to decide on which day of the month we should hold our meetings in 1981.since we plan to have one meeting a month On a motion the second Thursday of each month was chosen, therefore the next meeting comes on January 8.1981 with Mrs Louise Oliver as hostess at the Library As new business.Mrs Gilda Clark, Food Committee Chairperson, asked for help with food for the Congregational meeting on January 11.1981 at 7 30 p m in the Church Hall volun teers settled this problem The meeting was closed with the Mizpah Benediction and as the members left for home, wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidav Season filled the air Help your Heart Fund Help your Heart ryLe provençal RESTAURANT FRESH OYSTERS IN SHELL OYSTERS WITH GARLIC BUTTER MUSSELS (marinated in White Wine) DUCK, SEAFOOD.STEAKS, LICENSED BAR RESERVATIONS (819) 864-9124 5156 Bourque Blvd., Rock Forest, Que.OUR PRICES WILL ENCHANT YOU COME AND VISIT US CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN 0 TO 6 YEARS CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN 0 TO 6X REDUCTION 10% To 40% COME & SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN’S CLOTHING FOR THE HOLIDAYS.DON'T FORGET LADIES 40% REDUCTION LINGERIE, TERRY VELOUR LOUNGING ROBES, NIGHTWEAR 25% REDUCTION lay-away plan * Mariette Doyon, prop LADIES CLOTHING, DRESSES, PANTSUITS, SWEATERS, SKIRTS, BLOUSES, etc.C/1 cz jay>ny 461, Conseil, Sherbrooke DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED Order your Christmas Plants Early An excellent selection in stock Special arrangements of cut flowers.Large variety of green plants.Richmond Florist Inc.100 Main St.N Richmond, Que.Tel 826-3744 Manon Morin prop.Tel 848 2579, res.To make room for our new collection of furs.ON ALL LEATHER & SUEDE IN OUR STORE 1st QUALITY Sues ladies 6 To 20 yrs Men 34 to 48 Yrs.nattier, Cow-Hide.Pigskin home ol colors & styles Salon de fourrure Ocifiiel Lciflomme Tel.; 567-1517 74 Albert St.Sherbrooke DOWNTOWN MAGOG le Place To Shop!
