Johns-Manville Canada has laid off another 225 employees at their Jeffrey mine this week, a company spokesman confirmed yesterday.Public Relations officer Marc-Andre Gosselin said the lay-offs were again the result of the drop in demand for asbestos fibres, especially short asbestos fibres.According to Gosselin, the layoffs mean an across-the-board cut of workers, maintenance and management staff, both hourly paid and salaried.This layoff period brings to 400 the number of workers and staff that the company has had to let go in the past five months.The other layoff period came last September when 175 workers were given their notice.:149 of the 400 laid-off workers are unionized.Gosselin told The Record that the policy of further layoffs will probably be dropped Instead, he said, the Jeffrey ining operation will probably resort to periodic shutdowns of the whole operation for short periods depending on the amount of production of asbestos products that must be reduced for a given month.At the end of each month, said Gosselin, the company will assess production costs and the amount of demand for its products and decide whether production will be tapered off or increased.This news does not bode well for the remaining 2300 JM employees, most of whom receive an average hourly wage of $8.80, plus certain bonuses Many have had to transfer to different jobs and departments in the mine’s pit and tailings area, the shops and the bagging mills to fill in for the 400 layoffs.Many fear, that with only marginal seniority, their jobs could be next It also doesn’t come at an opportune time for the company’s mining union, whose contract with the company expired last week.The union is now in the throes of negotiating a new contract, and these new layoffs come at an inopportune time for its local president, Denis Provencher, who is denying claims from the local press that his union will have to make concessions for this next collective agreement.Says Provencher, "In my opinion, we still have a strong bargaining posi tion.We can't afford to lose what we have gained in the past .’’ With their new demands already in the hands of their employers, the union local, affiliated with the Centre des Syndicats Démocratiques (CSD), is waiting for Johns-Manville’s reply and is readv to consult with their member- Inside POLICE REPORT The Lennoxville police

yesterday to the National Assembly committee on constitutional reform, the Association of English-speaking Townshippers called on Quebec to urge the federal government to give minority language groups the same rights in all provinces.James Ross, president of the 6,000 member group, said “we would like to see a constitution that will more adequately protect our chance of survival.” Ross agreed with Parti Québécois MNA Pierre de Bellefeuille that the disappearance of the English-speaking minority from the Eastern Townships had begun long before his party came to power and that the government’s controversial language law Bill 101 was not to blame But Ross added that the process had accelerated in the last few years Townshippers director Jacqueline Kouri, head of the association’s health and social services task force, pointed out that although English-language legal and social services were available in law and the theory all over Quebec, her experience as a practising lawyer has led her to the conclusion that in practical terms minority services were difficult, if not impossible to obtain in Quebec outside Montreal.Royal Orr, director in charge of the group's heritage and cultural affairs task force, said Townshippers were in Quebec City to deliver a three-part message.“As a community, we wish to continue as Canadians,” he said "As a community, we have recently decided that we want to be Quebecers, we want to participate as strongly as possible in Quebec society,” he continued “But to begin with, we wish to continue as a community.” ,, MNAs from all parties complimented the Townshippers Association on the quality of their brief and thanked the representatives for illustrating clearly the distinctive nature of Quebec’s “non-metropolitan” English-speaking communities.De Bellefeuille called their presentation "serene, reflective, well prepared and well presented.” MNA Reed Scowen (Lib N.D.G.), an Eastern Townships native, said he was glad someone had finally had a chance to make a clear distinction between the English-speaking communities of Montreal and the rest of the province.Union Nationale house leader Michel Le Moignan pointed out that conditions were even worse in the Gaspe, his part ot Quebec, as tar as the English speaking minority was concerned, “because they are so far from a major centre.” Interest in the committee hearings, which resumed this week after sitting for two days in December, appears to be lessening There were fewer national assembly members attending Wed- nesday compared to Tuesday, and fewer spectators.However, the hearings are being televised - it is the first time TV cameras have been allowed into such a committee - and committee member Jean-Francois Bertrand (Parti Quebecois-Vanier) said that people are watching the proceedings at home.\nc\ Bertrand felt the hearings were useful because they provided an opportunity for groups and individuals to air their views about the federal legislation to the provincial government.But Herbert Marx < Liberal-D'Arcy McGee), described the hearings as “a non-event.” Saying that many of the briefs were prepared by supporters of the PQ, Marx added that the government is attempting to use the committee as a build-up to the provincial election, expected to be called within weeks.“I think what the government is really trying to do is build a dossier dealing with federal intrusions into language rights," Marx said.¦m JAMES ROSS .serene presentation ship in the coming weeks on negotiating strategy.Johns-Manville is not the only asbestos mining company that has showed a slump in its production.In Thetford Mines, Asbestos Corporation, which is still in the midst of a battle with the Quebec government over expropriation of its assets have not recalled nearly 5(X) of its workers from a temporary lay-off last December.Of the 1900 workers told to wait until January 25 to come back to work, only 1400 were told they had jobs to come back to.In addition, Asbestos Corp.'s magnesium-processing plant, scheduled to begin production this March, will not go on stream Indore the end of 1982 Chairman Daniel Perlstein said Tuesday that although the plant is near completion and machinery now is being installed, finishing touches will not be completed before another year and a half.No further details on the delay were provided Estimated costs for the plant now are running as high as $8 million, or $3 million more than originally anticipated.Production of the magnesium products by-products of asbestos used in fireproof materials and in alloy production is expected to be 5,000 tonnes a year, initially.Patriation in trouble, records show Canadian Press Amid opposition accusations that the government is concealing something, the minutes of a meeting between a senior British minister and External Affairs Minister Mark MacGuigan show MacGuigan was told the constitutional package faces “appalling difficulties" in Britain.The text of the minutes shows Sir Francis Pym, then British defence minister and now U K.Tory House leader, also told MacGuigan Dec.19 that he doubted the package would be passed by Westminster.That is contrary to the Liberal government’s often-stated assurance that they had been promised by the government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher the package would receive prompt passage through the British Commons British uneasiness about the package may have been communicated to Ottawa as early as November The Globe and Mail says a secret external affairs department Telex message from Norman St.John-Stevas, then British House leader, to MacGuigan said Britain could not act on the patriation request if the provinces challenged it in the Supreme Court of Canada.If true, that would confirm Opposition Leader Joe Clark’s accusation in the Commons Wednesday that the government is concealing a British warning that Prime Minister Trudeau’s package could not be approved if the provinces challenged it in the Supreme Court.Clark later told reporters he has no documentary evidence to back up his accusation and does not know if the warning was written or verbal or whether it was given in November.Justice Minister Jean Chretien, the government's chief constitutional spokesman, sidestepped questions on the issue in the House but later told reporters he was unaware of such advice Clark said he was acting on “information made available by Canadians” w'hich the Progressive Conservatives are attempting to confirm.He said Chretien's refusal to answer questions about whether such a warning was received “causes me to believe there might be something they don't want the public to know.” Clark also repeated his challenge for the government to table a letter it says Thatcher wrote last December in which she confirmed her intention to speedily sail the package through the British Commons.However, the government has refused, saying that only Thatcher as its author can release the letter.A spokesman for Thatcher said in London on Wednesday that there are no plans to reveal any correspondence be- tween her and Trudeau.In Edmonton meanwhile.Rod Sykes, leader of the Social Credit party, and House Leader Ray Speaker said court action should be pursued but Alberta must return to the political arena to debate constitutional reform.They said that too much importance must not be attached to the Manitoba court judgment because “the fun-damental issue remains a political one.” But Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Claude Morin told the Quebec national assembly’s constitution commitee he thinks the patriation plan is a smokescreen for an assault on the French language.Trudeau blasts bankers BRANDON, Man (CP) - Prime Minister Trudeau lashed out at bankers, big business and the energy-producing provinces Wednesday, accusing them of stirring up an East-West conflict in Canada to attack his government's energy policies.In a speech to a luncheon crowd of more than 500, Trudeau also lumped in the oil companies, the financial press and the editorial writers of large newspaper chains among the “economic interests” opposed to his pricing policies.“There certainly seem to be a large number of economic interests trying to wrap themselves in the flag of Western pride,” Trudeau said.It was his second trip to Western Canada since October to defend his controversial energy and constitutional policies.His last speech in Regina drew strong criticism when he suggested Westerners were hysterical in their criticisms of his policies.Trudeau's one-day visit to Brandon included a visit to a high school, where he fielded questions from students, and a meeting with about a dozen daily and weekly newspaper editors from the area.Trudeau told the crowd, which included a large number of farmers and small businessmen, that they and ordinary Western consumers should rec ognize they are major beneficiaries of lower energy prices.He urged them to look behind his critics and see whose interests they really represent.Bromonters oppose 'unbalanced' budget By MARC ROBERGE BROMONT — A citizen’s group will contest this town's long-awaited budget on the grounds that it doesn’t balance, a lawyer for the group announced at last night’s stormy budget meeting.In announcing the challenge during a question period following the adoption of the 1981 budget by Bromont council, lawyer Luc Lefebvre questioned both the adoption of the budget - after more than a month's delay - and the means by which council arrived at the tax rate.The tax rate has been fixed at $3.82 per $100 evaluation, with a tax of $1.91 per $100 valuation on serviced vacant lots, which make up much of the municipality.The vacant lot tax hits hard large landowners, especially Germain Desourdy, one of those represented by Lefebvre.According to Desourdy, one of about 200 ratepayers at last night’s meeting, the budget was illegally adopted.Last night’s meeting culminated a long-drawn fight over the adoption of the budget, already halted last week by a veto from Mayor Pierre Jacob.Jacob attempted to use his veto powers again last night, but was told by Bromont legal counsel that a veto could only be used once and since the budget had not been changed, it could not be vetoed a second time.Jacob then insisted that the public should be given an opportunity to ask questions about the budget, as provided for under Bill 105, the province’s recent legislation governing municipal procedure.Again, legal counsel backed Councillor Jean Moyen, proposer of the budget motion, who said that rhe requirements of Bill 105 had been fulfilled at the council meeting last week, but that councillors could ask questions before voting.The councillors voted on the budget after nearly 90 minutes of debate, interrupted periodically by interventions from ratepayers in the audience At one point, someone removed the microphone from Lefebvre, told him to sit down, and then instructed the council ‘you there, in front, do your work ' Council did their work, with Jean Moyen, Jean-Guy Tarte, Leo-Paul Incombe and Peter Ohrt voting for the $5,002,000 budget and Normand Grégoire, Denis Leclerc and Jacob voting against.Jacob, backed by Lefebvre, argues there will be a $1.1 million deficit as the budget now stands Lefebvre and his clients have yet to decide exactly what action they’ll take to stall the budget, already delayed past the December 31 deadline because of requests to the Municipal Affairs Ministry from Jacob. 2 THURS., FEBRUARY 5,1981 Only Tory Blaikie supports Clark TORONTO (CP) — Only one of three candidates for the presidency of the national Progressive Conservative party has announced publicly he will support Joe Clark in a leadership review at the party’s national convention this month.Peter Blaikie, 38, a Montreal lawyer who ran unsuccessfully for federal office twice, told 300 Metropolitan Toronto party members Wednesday he will vote against a leadership review at the convention, scheduled to begin Feb.27 in Ottawa.“I don't think it (leadership review) is in the best interests of the party," he said in response loan audience member's question.The other two candidates, MPs Patrick Nowlan and Chris Speyer, stopped short of endorsing Clark, whose days as party leader could be numbered, depending on the outcome of the vote.Nowlan, 49, MP for the Nova Scotia riding of Annapolis Valley-Hants since 1%5 and one of the leadership candidates defeated by Clark in 1976, said he would not announce his position on the issue.‘i have been loyal to Joe Clark, I am loyal Newsmjyief Assembly officer: Tape not used to him and I will continue to be loyal to him, but because I want to reach out to all the groups (of party supporters) across the country, 1 am not going to tell you how I will vote,” he said.Karlier, Nowlan said: "I hope we have a clear-cut vote so we can put it behind us and fight the Grits." Speyer, MP for the southwestern Ontario riding of Cambridge since 1979, told the party members, most of whom will be delegates at the convention, that the leadership review has nothing to do with the candidates for party presidency “I'm going to be loyal to my leader and I don't believe there is any other answer to that question," said Speyer, 39.Nowlan, responding to a question about the budget which led to the Tory government’s defeat only nine months after taking office, said the party president couldn’t change a budget, "but certainly as president you can make sure the people in Ottawa know how to count and don’t go into an election when you’re 19 points down in the polls.’’ QUEBEC (CP) — The chief administrative officer of the Quebec national assembly denied Wednesday that a clandestine tape recording was used in an investigation into the conduct of two employees of the assembly broadcasting department.Assembly secretary Rene Blondin acknowledged in an interview that a member of the department responsible for televising debates had turned on microphones to eavesdrop on a conversation between announcer Richard Thibault and producer Marcel Beauchesne.But Blondin said the tape recording of the conversation was never listened to by senior management.It was destroyed, he said, and never used as part of the investigation of the pair, who had been accused of encouraging technicians to show fuzzy pictures of the debates as a way of discrediting the management of the broadcast department.Prison drugs a fixture — Kaplan OTTAWA (CP) — Tight regulations may help reduce drug use in federal penitentiaries but the problem will never be eliminated, Solicitor-General Robert Kaplan said Wednesday.Almost all reforms recommended in a report on drug abuse in Quebec’s four medium-security federal prisons, made public Tuesday, are acceptable to the government, Kaplan said outside the Commons.But the only way to eliminate drug use in prison is to put all inmates in solitary confinement and have all visits conducted with a screen between prisoners and visitors.October crisis bungling questioned OTTAWA (CP) — Solicitor-General Robert Kaplan Wednesday urged Opposition Leader Joe Clark to authorize him to determine if any documents exist which prove there was "monumental bungling” during the 1970 FLQ crisis "I am not aware of any files which show monumental bungling on the part of the prime minister, the government or the RCMP,” Kaplan told the Commons.Allan Lawrence, solicitor-general in the short-lived Progressive Conservative government, said last week Prime Minister Trudeau is covering up details of the 1970 incident and the truth may not be known until he dies.Unproven drug not given to Fox VANCOUVER (CP) — Cancer victim Terry Fox is not being treated with Interferon because the drug is largely unproven, a Canadian Cancer Society official said Wednesday.Fox is resting at his family’s suburban Port Coquitlam, B.C., home

support for El Salvador's rebels may cause Canada to temper its opposition to U.S involvement in that troubled Central American country.But MacGuigan also issued a sharp warning to the new U.S.administration on another issue.Because of the U.S.Senate's refusal to ratify a Canadian-American fisheries treaty, he said, Canada from now on will demand a formal Senate commitment before negotiating any treaty with the U.S.Sudbury hospital workers stay out TORONTO (CP) — Defiant to the end, non-medical workers at Sudbury hospitals were the only holdouts Wednesday as their colleagues across the province gradually ended their illegal strike.However, negotiators for the Canadian Union of Public Employees were meeting with Sudbury hospital administrators in an attempt to reach a compromise that would prevent reprisals against the strikers who have disrupted hospital services since Jan.26.N.S.to protect minority education HALIFAX (CP) — Nova Scotia will move to protect minority French-and English-language education "where numbers warrant,” Education Minister Terence Donahoe said Wednesday.He said in an interview he will introduce a bill in the next session of the legislature guaranteeing minority-language education where there is enough demand.There are enough Acadians in several parts of Nova Scotia now to warrant that protection, he said, and other areas could be added in the future.Food exporters are few TORONTO (CP) — The number of countries that are net exporters of food can be "counted on the fingers of one hand” and Canada is fortunate not only to be among them but also to be able to increase its food production substantially, says the senior assistant deputy minister of the federal department of agriculture.And Gerald Trant says Canada will need to.He told the Ontario Conference on Agriculture in Toronto on Wednesday that by the year 2000 there will be more starving people in the world than there are today.Canadian troubled in Bermuda HAMILTON, Bermuda (CP) — Saul Froomkin, the first Canadian to be appointed attorney-general of Bermuda, says attempts have been made to have him thrown off the island.Froomkin, 42, said in an interview this week that influential people wanted him out of Bermuda because they believed he was working with the Canadian government to investigate Canadian companies based in Bermuda for income tax reasons.CBC strikers get court date MONTREAL (CP) — Six striking CBC journalists have been summoned to appear in court March 13 in connection with the alleged abduction of two non-striking employees from the network's Washington bureau the day of the Reagan inaugural last month.Coverage of the Jan.20 inauguration on Radio-Canada, the CBC’s French-language network, was disrupted when its Washington correspondent and a public affairs show host were intercepted outside the bureau and spirited away to a nearby restaurant.Brit fishermen petition Thatcher LONDON (AP) — About 1,000 Cornish fishermen made a desperate plea Wednesday to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to save the mackerel, which they said is in danger of being wiped out by trawlers.In a separate protest, trawlermen from all parts of Britain threatened to blockade domestic ports over alleged dumping of cheap fish by foreign competitors, including Canada.Hundreds of trawler skippers, mainly in Scotland, kept their boats tied up.Suspect denies killing doctor WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.(AP) — Cross-examination of Jean Harris ended Wednesday with a burst of applause from the audience and an angry denial from the defendant that she killed Scarsdale Diet creator Dr.Herman Tar-nower because she didn't want another woman to have him."Is it a fact, Mrs.Harris, that on March 10,1980, you intended to kill the doctor and then kill yourself because, if you couldn't have Dr.Tarnower, no one could?" Assistant District Attorney George Bolen asked as his last question of the day.“No, it isn't, Mr.Bolen," Harris replied calmly after seven days on the witness stand "I have no further questions," the prosecutor said."That’s good," Harris snapped.When applause broke out in the packed courtroom, Harris shook her head and remarked: “Unbelievable.” Housing summit debates energy MONTREAL (CP) — Energy weighed heavily on the minds of the 1,400 delegates to the annual meeting of the Housing and Urban Development Association of Canada this week.HUDAC officials unveiled an Energy Saver program to encourage builders to follow the latest federal standards for energy-efficient homes.They also plan local meetings across Canada in the coming weeks to promote the program.The association's new president, Klaus Springer of Calgary, says energy conservation work has the potential to help restore health to an industry that has just come through hard times.U.S.rep arrested for washroom act WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.Congressman Jon Hinson of Mississippi was arrested in a public men’s room at a House of Representatives office building Wednesday and charged with oral sodomy.The rest room had been under police surveillance through a peephole as a “tea room" gathering place for homosexuals.Deputy Chief Gilbert Abernathy of the Capitol police said Hinson, a Republican serving his second term, was arrested for engaging in the sex act with Harold Moore, 28, of suburban Oxon Hill, Md., a library assistant.Moore was also arrested.Fina shares skyrocket TORONTO (CP) — Shares of Petrofina

it will buy the firm from its Belgian parent company, Petrofina SA, for $1.46 billion or $120 a share.Private shareholders control about 28 per cent of Petrofina Canada.Fed park or provincial dump?MONTREAL (CP) — The federal government has spent $500,000 to study building a park on the same land the Quebec government is considering as the site of a multimillion dollar toxic waste disposal plant.The disputed land is Camp Bouchard, at one time eastern Canada’s main army munitions depot, near Blainville about 40 kilometres north of Montreal.The $15-million toxic waste plant would be

sales.Polish talks break down WARSAW (AP) — Negotiations aimed at ending a crippling local strike in southern Poland broke down Wednesday and independent unionists called for reinforcements while the government warned of “consequences.” Independent labor leader Lech Walesa, on hand in Bielsko-Biala for the talks, told The Associated Press: “It is better to fall while carrying one’s head high than to retreat ignominously.” Restructure parties — top Tory TRURO, N.S.(CP) — Canada’s major political parties should be restructured and the roles of their officials more clearly defined, Robert Coates, retiring president of the federal Progressive Conservative party, said Wednesday.A party should also have a think-tank system to generate new ideas, said Coates, member of Parliament for Cumberland Colchester Iran frees American prisoner TEHRAN (AP-CP) — Iran’s revolutionary regime freed one of the three Americans still held in its jails and moved toward a decision on another one amid new criticism of President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr from the leader of the clerical party controlling the government.Authorities on Wednesday freed Mohi Sobhani, a 44-year-old computer expert from Los Angeles who was arrested on unspecified charges Sept.6.A naturalized U.S.citizen, he had stayed in his native Iran to run a computer business after his former employer, Rockwell International, pulled out in 1979 Women join Amqui fight AMQUI, Que.( CP i — Women took up the battle for a paper mill in the economically-depressed Matapedia Valley by occupying Amqui’s police station and holding the officers “prisoner” for several hours Wed nesday.“We banked on the fact that the policemen wouldn’t dare hit women and we won our hand,” declared Jeanne d'Arc Ruel, organizer of the demon stration.Several hundred demonstrators from various municipalities in the Matapedia Valley, in the Gaspe Peninsula, assembled in Amqui Wednesday morning and about 50 women burst into the provincial police headquarters, barring the doors They had intended to chain themselves inside but police took away their chains and padlocks as they arrived It was not known how many policemen remained inside At one point several officers tried to get in from outside Half of them got through hut the others were pushed and jeered back by about 400 angry women The occupation ended about 1 p m after Jean-Guy Gagnon, president of the citizens' coalition lobbying for the papermill, called on the women to leave.Gagnon said later the police ultimatum gave him no choice: "I knew very well that reinforcements were ready to intervene shortly and I didn't want the women to be brutalized " TIKI) UP LINES’ Meanwhile, other women stayed at home and kept telephoning the offices of Pierre de Bane, federal minister of regional economic expansion, whose riding of Matapedia Matane includes this town of 4,000, and Quebec Resources Minister Yves Berube Lise Payette, Quebec cabinet minister responsible for women's

Police Chief Leo Hamel has finished his year-end report and the statistics show criminal activity was up 20.2 per cent in 1980 over the same period in 1979.The Lennoxville police department reported 315 crimes committee, of which 72 were solved, for a solution rate of 23 per cent.One of the major areas where there was a substantial increase was in breaking and entering In 1979, 64 break and-enters were reported and for 1980 there was 101.This is an increase of 15.5 per cent.The total number of robberies in Lennoxville was 162 and $125,382 worth of goods were stolen.In 1979 only $47,000 worth of property was stolen and this included one theft of $23,000.Hamel credits this increase to the rise in the price of gold and says more of the thieves are concentrating on gold and silver items.“Thieves are stealing more gold and «silver hornnce nf the increase in prices and also because it is so easy to dispose of," said Hamel Lennoxville reported 222 highway accidents in which four people were killed and 29 injured This is a decrease over 79 when there were 250 traffic accidents but only one fatelity.$131,800 in property damage resulted from the 222 accidents.The department received 9,074 calls in 1980 but most of those were routine information calls.The police responded to 1.604 Of the 162 reported thefts, nirie cars were stolen and seven recovered.14 bicycles were stolen and 13 frauds reported There were 70 cases of mischief, 11 assaults, five sexual offences, 10 hit and runs, 14 drunken driving and seven other offences In the 72 cases solved, 55 adults were arrested and 25 juveniles.Lennoxville’s criminal activity and solution rate is at par with or better than other towns of comparable size in the province and rate of criminal activity.One of the programs Hamel is most proud of is the surveillance his men do on homes of people on vacation “We had 53 people request the department keep an eye on their homes while they w ere on vacation and not one of those 53 was broken into during that time," said Hamel.Most of the break and-enters in Lennoxville were not the result of homeowners leaving their doors open but of criminals actually breaking windows or forcing locks to enter a home.Hamel and his eight-man force believe they are doing a good job but there is always room for improvement.T don’t think these statistics are too bad but they can certainly be improved upon We re not perfect but we are trying all the time to upgrade our services,” Hamel said Syrup and sawdust BY JOHN McCAGHEY Caisses: You're with neighbors A bunch of lads were parked, discussing the state of the world in general when out popped a local quote: “Beware of those who come out from the city, buy homes on hills then dictate to the lower denizens.” There was but one native Townshipper on hand, yet the others felt they had lived in the area long enough to throw in their two bits worth.The native son recalled growing up in what amounted to a personal fiefdom where the owner was truly the “laird” of all he surveyed, ruling the peasantry.“Dad had to get up at 5 a m.on weekends when his Lordship was out from the city to bring his tea and paper to him in bed - in fact Dad had to buy the paper out of his minimal earnings and his annual Christmas bonus was a $5 bill stapled to a card.He has eight of them at home intact today.The vegetable garden which he cultivated was split half and half between the owner, his family and ourselves and the beans were almost counted one by one from week to week to make sure we hadn't cheated.” Two of the quartet were owners of small businesses and with the depressed state of the economy, talk naturally turned to finances and banking - and the national banking system in particular - with the local Caisses populaires winning total endorsement.“You’re dealing with a co-operative and the local credit committees are made up of neighbors who have had a chance to study you as a member of the community and if you pass muster they’ll back you to the hilt.I think that’s a hell of a lot better than dealing with a manager in a small town who can only authorize minimal loans then have to go to an anonymous body in either Montreal or Toronto to obtain approval for anything major,” another commented.“I couldn’t get to first base with the bank when I started in as I needed a bit of risk capital,” another chimed in.“I went to two Caisses about 13 miles from home and laid out my plans.Approval came within 24 hours and that was the beginning of a great relationship.A while back I thought I might be a bit late with the mortgage payment and called them, telling them I anticipated receivables in the immediate future - the manager replied “Have we called you’ - can you imagine one of the banks doing that?” The conversation swung around to city dwellers’ habits of apparently feeling they can call on their rural neighbors for help whenever they are in trouble, complain about service charges for justifiable work, then offer little or nothing in return after they have been pulled out of a snowbound ditch - as occurred very frequently this week.“They take us for granted,” one man said.“Yes, but when it’s 110 in the shade and he sees the farmer who did the towing job, sweating doing the hay the least he could do would be to offer him a cold beer,” another continued.“Ya, he probably couldn't lift a bale of hay higher than the platform in any case and would get a hernia if he tried anything more,” a third commented, “but if the worst came to worst he could drive the tractor.” “If he understands the intricacies of a manual transmission,” was the final word on that.Bill 101 didn’t hit the table but certain national traits came under close scrutiny.“I’d rather work for the French.They know what they want, ask the cost and offer up-front money without any questions and they usually finally express their thanks in a very tangible way - coin of the realm.On the other hand the Anglo-Saxons are so tight they squeak.” Come to think of it our “local” quote isn’t quite accurate.It was coined by a former Newfoundlander who has resided in Brome-Missisquoi for several years, not quite a generation, thus he is not considered a local.-f- 4" “f" Roger Mondoux, manager of the Domaine du Parc shopping centre, was more than pleased with the recent turnout for the

Vaincre la Pollution, along with 80 other environmental groups from across the province, is organizing a public debate on the energy future of Quebec.The program will run from February 16 to February 22 at the Université du Quebec in Montreal.“It’s time to open the energy question to the entire population.the common denominator with regard to energy decisions taken in the not-so-distant past has been the absence of consultation and the involvement of ordinary citizens in the decision making process,” says Pierre Lacombe of SVP.Lacombe cites the example of James Bay hydro project which “was supposed to cost us $4.5 billion but which ended up costing $17.2 billion”.He wonders whether there isn’t a more decentralized way of providing for Quebec’s energy needs.“Our levels of sunshine make solar energy a plausible option, the wind speeds in some regions would make windmills an option there, our extensive forests allow us to use biomass energy directly for wood heat or in the form of wood alcohol, and our surpluses of hydroelectricity could be used to produce hydrogen.” The symposium hopes to inform the Quebec population whom, SVP says “All the studies have shown to be ill-informed of the energy question”.Featured at the symposium will be booths, exhibits, information kiosques, and panel discussions.A recent film.“Les Douces” about Quebecers who have harnessed various forms of solar energy will be one of the highlights.Les Douces was produced by noted Quebec film producer Alain Chartrand who now lives in Katevale.Speakers will be attacking the energy question from many angles.Some of the talks will be in English but Townships talk GRANBY (MR) — Members of the Shefford County Liberal Party gathered all day Sunday to study the par ty’s policy paper

education question.There were 150 members at the meeting which was nine per cent of their total membership.Other resolutions found in the paper will be discussed further at the congress in Sherbrooke this Sunday.Delegates from eight regional councils will be attending.In another meeting in the Granby area the Progressive Conservatives held their annual Shefford County meeting.They elected Alain Faucher as their president and decided to back the leadership of Joe Clark until his term expires in two years.30 ol the party s 340 members were in attendance.• Real Sirois pleaded guilty to a charge of having operated a motor vehicle on Dec.26,1980 when his blood-alcohol level was .200 mgs., and to a similar count on Jan.14 when his blood-alcohol level was .150 mgs.Crown attorney Noiseux suggested a $500 fine on the second count.Sirois told the court he had been on the wagons for 14 years and began drinking over marital problems.Judge lÆgare fined him $200 and costs, in default 15 days on the first charge, $250 and costs, in default to 15 days consecutive, on the second, and allowed him 90 days to acquit the fines and costs.He then granted a restricted permit to allow the accused to travel to his place of employment in Bromont.“You’re lucky the crown didn't serve you a notice of recidivism otherwise I’d have had no alternative than handing you 14 days in jail,” the

Twentieth-century Quebecers don't have to resort to cannibalism to get through the winter, but they do have to cope with about three serious storms each winter, when power lines go down and the roads are blocked Quebec City has an average yearly snow fall of 325 centimetres, less than smaller centres further to the east, but more than Montreal with 240 centimetres.Toronto with 140 and Winnipeg with 130 Spokesman Jacques Bureau of Environment Canada said snow fall here is about 100 centimetres below average this year, but it has been one of the coldest winters in 40 years.Toward the end of January each year, the temperature rises, and during a brief warm spell, pedestrians walk in the middle of the narrow streets of the old city to avoid getting brained by oversized icicles.And if the ice doesn’t get them, they are hit with that old familiar scourge, taxes.In Quebec City, snow is taxable Homeowners are assessed a special tax to pay for snow removal and, in a cruel Catch-22 stipulation, driveways must be cleared before plowing begins Thanks, Wathen A life was prematurely snuffed out in our midst yesterday with the sudden death of Wathen Brack of our circulation department.We first met him in the late 1960s when he was helping Peter White accumulate information which subsequently led to the formation of the Town of Brome Lake.We believe he joined the staff shortly after the Black-W'hite-Radler interests bought The Record in the summer of 1969.In any event, he had a colorful career which included the office of building inspector, often drawing the outraged wrath of a local owner who also subscribed to the paper.Wrathen sometimes drove us to distraction in the Brome-Missisquoi area with all of us wondering when the papers were going to arrive.They always did and the impish grin turned away wrath in a trice.Of course he had to stop for a Coke and a Babe Ruth and waffle a while with his dealers.The area from Magog to Bedford is quite diverse so unpredictability was a watchword By the same token he kept his ear to the ground and could often help the editorial types out by acting as a sort of Dew-Line.Our favorite memories of Wathen were at Brome fair.The Record booth was set up outside the main building and it was three days of non-stop banter with the good folks attending the show.We sometimes felt he knew at least 85 per cent by their Christian names and probably could have rattled off a four-generation pedigree of one and all.Walter, Jimmy, John.Jane and Linda got their apprenticeships into the niceties of renewing subscriptions or selling new ones as they sat in for Wathen while he toured the fair.Their participation created a picnic-like atmosphere when they heated up soup and other goodies on a portable stove When the rains came down, the booth became a survival unit for the Bondville bunch.Grace was the silent pillar of strength behind him through their 25 years of marriage.This was displayed once again almost a year ago following the amputation of one of his legs when she assumed his awesome duties of getting The Record out, while looking after three school-aged children.We will sorely miss Wathen and his quiet humor and wit — often the only bright spot in an otherwise dreary day.Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Grace and the children."God restye merry, gentleman " JOHN \Ic( AGHEY Kudos for Warren The inclusion of native rights in the constitutional package is the best single piece of work to come out of Ottawa in some time, but none of the key players in the patriation soap opera were responsible.Warren Allmand, the former Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs and later, of Indian and Northern Affairs who fell into disfavor with The Boss, was the main mover and deserves special mention.As minister in charge of Indian and Northern Affairs, Mr Allmand carved a special niche for himself in many hearts, ensuring that numerous native groups across Canada were financially capable of fighting land claims and other traditional rights gradually being eroded by southern activities in Canada’s north, from James Bay to northern B.C.He was sympathetic to the widest possible range of native interests, from Metis rights and McKenzie Delta claims to the long-fought battle by native women to enjoy the same status as their menfolk.As Mr.Allmand was quoted as saying, he didn't need a cushy cabinet post to do the work he knew had to be done.A Quebec Liberal, here's one man who also happens to be a Liberal Quebecer who saw his job in broader terms than as a strict party man.It's too bad for this country that there aren't more members of Parliament like him._______________________ J AMES DI KE FKANKCY CANADA.1 mr&vz A DAW I Reagan rekindles U.S.-Korea bond NEW YORK CP) — President Reagan's pragmatic approach towards South Korea comes at a time when the small circle of generals and colonels who rule from Seoul are in desperate need of stability and a better credit rating.On the surface.Korean President Chun Doo-hwan got a warm reception from Reagan and state and defence department officials in a scenario aimed at buoying Chun for the Korean elections starting Feb.11.Reagan didn't delve publicly into the human rights violations including reports of torture that disturbed the Carter administration for years and led to deteriorating relations with South Korea.The president brought a quick thaw to those frigid relations by proclaiming that the two countries have a “never-ending” bond of friendship that remains as strong today as it was 30 years ago during the Korean War.PROSPECTS GOOD The president also told Chun during a red-carpet Washington visit that 39,000 U S combat troops will stay on the Korean peninsula and that prospects for U S.military credits for South Korea to help modernize the army and air force are good.Hidden in all of this Reagan “love-fest” with South Korea is the president s matter-of-fact approach to a situation where outside of maintaining strong defence ties with an anti-Communist ally there is little the U S.can do to force democracy on the Koreans after several failures in the last three decades.Chun faces an even bigger challenge than allowing South Koreans some form of parliamentary rule in the wake of the military coup that brought him to power in 1979.During his U.S.visit, Chun must reassure American bankers that his regime is a stable one and the Korean economy, marred by growing unemployment and 30-per-cent annual inflation, is on the road to recovery It is estimated that South Korea will need nearly $8 billion in loans this year to help meet its $7-bilhon o2il import bill.The country has started building semi-submersible oil drilling rigs — working closely with American companies to set up an offshore drilling ng industry in South Korea.Korean yards, faced with slow growth in conventional shipbuilding, are launching a major campaign to win big orders for many types of oil drilling rigs and support vessels, says Business Week magazine in its international report.In all of the posturing over South Korea, the Reagan administration has been careful not to involve itself publicly in the kind of human rights violations which greatly concerned the Carter administration.The new regime at the state department under Alexander Haig requested Congress not to release a human rights report — mandated by law — until Chun ends his U.S.visit.Globe publisher: Trudeau wants historical niche LONDON (CP) The publisher of the Toronto Globe and Mail made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau on Tuesday, saying that the constitutional crisis is largely a result of Trudeau's desire to go down in history.A Roy Megarry said in a speech at the Royal Commonwealth Society that Trudeau, “who is as arrogant as he is intelligent, ' is determined to be remembered in history books as “the man who brought back the constitution " Why° Possibly because it can truly be said that history so far has nothing to say of any significance about his 12 years of administering our country ’’ Trudeau's conduct of the last constitutional negotiations with the provincial premiers last summer was “the scheme of a tyrant trying to manipulate what he perceived as inferiors ' NO FORMAL RKQA-KJYT A formal Ottawa request has yet to be presented to the British government and Parliament for patriation of the Canadian constitution, now embodied in the British North America Act.Megarry spoke of what he called a sinister possibility that is beginning to emerge — that Trudeau “is attempting to orchestrate a crisis between Canada and Britain " That is one of four possibilities that Megarry raised as short-term developments of the constitutional controversy.Another is :hat "Westminster will see the duplicity, the deceitfulness, the treachery in being asked to rewrite our constitution in London just prior to send it back to Ottawa."Surely Westminster will see through this sneaking, conniving manoeuvre and simply say.Here is your constitution, You amend it when you get it home We will not be a party to this tactic.’ ’’ 'LIBERALS EXPEDIENT \nnther possibility is that the federal liberals — “They are nothing if not expedient" — will pull a U-turn.The Liberal party is notorious for 180-degree turns when it suits its purpose." What Megarry considered most likely is that a few Liberal back-benchers will crack “and then we can expect to see substantial withdrawal.Canada is young and more a “community of communities" than a nation in the traditional sense, Megarry said The mere geography of the country, so huge, so spread out, its mosaic of cultural and social differences and the shifting features of its economic landscape all argue for a federal system that is flexible and developed through negotiation, not unilateral action, he suggested.In a short question-and-answer session after his speech, Megarry said that if patriation succeeded now.the crisis would not be solved.' We ll have a hell of a battle back home,” he said.Info-by-phone: No such dangers here l don’t know how it is in your town, but where I live, the telephone company won’t give me the time of day.The result is an existence that goes all egg-shaped once every eight days when the eight-day clock runs down For some reason most — if not all — parts of Canada have lagged behind the rest of the civilized world in the provision of vital information for the telephone subsen her Maybe it's just as well.Canadians lead the world, on a percapita basis, in the amount of time spent at the console of Alexander Graham Bell's invention How much worse would the situation be should we be able to — as is possible elsewhere — dial a joke, a prayer, a weather report, a recipe, tourist information, what's on at the theatres, etc London, for instance, publishes a separate directory of such services Dial 237 and an upper-class, female voice assaults the ear with “et the third stroake, it will be — 8:27 and 20 seconds, precisely Beep, Beep.Beeeeep.” p-rr Bruce Levettu Tourists, by ringing another number, are advised "Visit historic Cheapside Guides are available at 60p a head to take you along the paths trod by Jack the Ripper In areas around Washington, it is possible to dial today's recipe and.in some cases, to reach a gourmet cook to guide you through the intricacies of whatever dish it is you're burning at the moment Misdial, however, and your query as to what to serve on pumpernickel may be met with mit bumbernickel goes sauerbratten rrrroww.Vass you dere, Sharlie’1" Obviously you have a crossed line with dial-a-joke Dialing for a weather report and receiving a quiet reading of the 23rd psalm can also send you back to bed with a sick headache, i No such dangers lurk within the covers of the Metropolitan Toronto telephone book, however No frivolity here Instead, there are six pages three in each language covering the general tariff regulations Rule 29: Failure to receive a bill showing the amount owing by the customer to the Company shall not relieve the customer from the responsibility of making prompt payment of such amount to the company DON’T < M L FOR ADVICE There is a special number for gardeners, but don't call it for advice on the best time to plant petunias It's for use on where to dig.so that you don't black out the entire eastern seaboard with one thrust of the trowel.There is also an entire page on procedui for committing a directly dialled con munication with your aunt in Anyang ( Soul Korea), your brother in Bloemfontei South Africa) or your paramour in Pueri Cahello (Venezuela.)

Eastern Townships Wood Producers Syndicate.At, a press conference held lash week, a new cutting and marketing program for affected wood was made public.Organizers hope to market wood this year that would otherwise lose most of K its market value dpe to the damage by these voracious caterpillars.The spruce budworm is an avid eater of balsam buds and needles and attacks spruce only when his favorite source runs out.The baby caterpillar, hatched in late summer and hardly bigger than the head of a pin, spins a tiny silk cocoon, hibernates all winter and wakes in late spring with an appetite far exceeding his size.Travelling to the tips of the uppermost branches, he munches on last year’s needles while waiting for the buds to form, then crawls inside and devours the forming needles.According to records and observations made by the syndicate's engineers, a severe budworm infestation has existed mainly in the counties for the past three years Experts agree if the budworm population is allowed to continue any longer, the wood becomes unmarketable, and the trees start dying.r# i The budworm prefers balsam and will only eat spruce when it runs out.In order to help woodlot owners to identity trouble spots and the degree of infestation, the ET Syndicate will send trained experts into the forests at the request of the owners.If these engineers find the damage extensive and the budworm population at a dangerous level, they will recommend cutting the lot.The syndicate has reserved a guaranteed market for 10,000 cords cut under these conditions.“We must remember that the wood business in the Townships finds a market for up to 100,000 cords per year,” explains Wells Coates, head of the syndicate.“We have reserved 10,000 cords for wood coming from lots that have been appraised by the engineers, and if more is required, we will find it.” Coates points out the serious aspect of the damage already apparent in the three counties affected the most, and added that the budworm is alive and well throughout our region, but not in such great numbers.“If the damage is allowed to continue, the trees become dry and eventually die.The quality of the wood deteriorates due to the drying effect of the damage caused by the worm and the V / «I The spruce budworm in various stages.wood fibres no longer work in the paper making process,” Coates adds This is the third major epidemic in Quebec since 1910.The latest started in 1967 near the Ontario border and has gradually spread across the province.Conditions in spring have been favorable to the growth and development of the budworm population during the past three years, with hot dry weather prevailing.This, combined with the vast areas of some regions which are almost totally spruce and balsam, has resulted in budworm populations of epidemic proportions over 15 per cent of the region.In order to carry out this program of recuperation, the Syndicate has prepared application forms to be filled by owners wishing to have their lots inspected.A charge of $25.is requested to open a file and the owner must accompany the inspector during his visit.Woodlots must be at least 10 acres in size to qualify as well “The region is important in terms of exports of finished products," Coates added.“Over 80 per cent of our market is outside Quebec and the losses possible this year would seriously affect our output, both now and for sometime in the future, as well as the loss in income to the producers themselves.” For further information or application forms, contact Jean- Claude Dumas, Secretary-Manager.Tel.567-8905.Hereford group seeks breed improvement By CLAUDIA BOWERS SHERBROOKE - Nearly 200 members turned out in their best bib and tucker last weekend when the Le Baron Hotel was the site of the Provincial Hereford Association’s Annual Meeting.Re-elected president Andre Gagne spoke of the plans for the coming year at the plenary session and banquet held Saturday evening.Looking back on a year of dynamic activity, Gagne congratulated both the provincial and local host club for their continued work.The president explained the proposals that the club become independent taking over their own registration service from National Livestock Records, and at the same time, initiate a program of improvement in breed type and performance.“To date, the Record of Performance program has been carried out for all breeds by the government,” Gagne says.“This means that they must be concerned with about 50 different breeds and their approach to the whole matter of ROP is much more rigid than our own would be.” Financing would be possible through registration fees and ROP charges.Much of the accounting and records would be processed by computer, giving much more rapid and efficient service to the members.These proposals will be presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Club scheduled for June and being held in Brandon, Manitoba.The Quebec club claims a membership of 700 voting members, with a roster of approximately 80 in the Eastern Townships club.Michel Gagne, son of the provincial president, was elected president of the local club.The Gagnes are well known breeders of quality herefords in the Asbestos area.The first-ever female director was elected to the provincial board on Saturday as well.Suzanne Menard was elected Saturday afternoon and has the distinction of being the first female director named to the provincial board.She and her husband are hereford breeders from the Victoriaville area.Special mention was made (i Wes Nichol, well known store owner in Lennoxville and for many years, a producer of fine quality Hereford beef.Nichol was one of the founding members of the Townships club and still enjoys good health and a busy schedule.Attending the meeting from western Canada was the national president, Ron Magnusson of Saskatchewan and general manager of the national club, Duncan Porteous of Calgary.Guest speaker for the evening was Yvon Charland, a provincial agronomist.Charland spoke of the need to keep up to date on ways and means of im- proving breed type and performance.“Quebec still has a difficult time reaching the quality of beef produced in the west,” he said, making a viable beef enterprise hard to develop here.Charland explained the steps necessary to improved breeding programs and efficient feeding plans, but added the past few years have shown marked improvement in both breed type and performance, but he emphasized the need to develop and improve as rapidly as possible outlining good management practices and herd improvement methods.Kelly Gallup of the local club was named provincial queen at the meeting.Kelly is the daughter of Wayne Gallup of Melbourne Ridge, and has been involved in 4H and Young Farmers groups for several years.Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Conseil de la radiodiffusion el des telecommunications canadiennes Public Notice The CRTC has

Gage Belisle, formerly of Stanbridge East, occurred during the evening of January 2nd, 1981, when she was shot beside her car, in the driveway of her home in Burlington, Vt.Angela was born in the Isle of Wight, England, coming to Canada with her mother in 1946.Both her parents having served with the Air Force during war time, her father returning to Canada in late 1945.She leaves to mourn three young children, Selena 10, Travis 8, Trevor 6 Angela was the eldest of a family of six children, being the daughter of Wesley and Louise Gage, who are left to mourn her loss, as well as three brothers, Colin (and wife Louise), Brian (and wife Barbara) and Floyd, also one sister, Rosemary, and grandparents Mr.and Mrs.Arthur Gage.Her brother Barry was killed in a car accident the night of his graduation in 1975.The remains were brought to Dion's Funeral Home in Bedford, w'here visiting hours were Tuesday afternoon and evening.The funeral was Wednesday, Jan.7, from the Stanbridge East United Church, being conducted by the Rev.Keith Eddy with Mrs.Esther Wescott organist.The hymn , ‘‘Unto The Hills Around Do 1 Lift Up My Longing Eyes,” (alsosang at Barry’s funeral) and the hymn.‘‘The Lord’s My Shepherd 1 11 Not Want.” Rev.Eddy gave an inspiring eulogy on ‘‘The Message Of Angela’s Life” to a packed congregation.This was followed by the combined choir (Anglican and United) singing “Peace, Perfect Peace.” Following the service, between 75 and 80 relatives and friends gathered at the home of Colin and Louise for a fellowship hour.Angela's remains were cremated, and will be interred in the family lot at the Ridge Cemetery, later in the spring.Bearers were Murray and Kalvin Lee (Angela’s cousins ), Raymond Wescott, Peter Blinn, Delmar Wilson and Bruce Kidd.A Memorial Service was held the following day at the University of Vermont, in Burlington, where several students and many professors paid tribute to Angela's work and cheerful disposition.Angela attended the Intermediate School in Stanbridge East, going on to graduate from High School in Cowansville.From here she went on to obtain her teaching diploma from Macdonald College She taught at schools in

where a tournament of Shuffleboard was played and a very enjoyable afternoon closed with refreshments served by members of the Mansonville Shuffleboard club Miss Maureen Smith has gone to Ottawa where she is with parents like she has, and not learn that happiness is found in service to others.From her youth she was able to care for her brothers and sister as small children, and allow her parents to get away for awhile, from the pressures of family and the working world.Having learned the values of family living, she eventually established her own, with Selena.Travis and Trevor, who are here with us today.As the newspapers have correctly reported, Angela cared for her children over her many other interests and responsibilities.Angela was a person with talents to share with others.She entered upon a pursuit that can be described as a helping profession.She cared for people.This led her five years ago to embark upon a training at the University of Vermont in order to be better equipped to assess and find solutions to the many burdens that people carry in the kind of society in which we live.She was one year away from being a Ph D.in Psychology.Her work in the University of Vermont, where there will be a Memorial Service tomorrow, and in the hospitals and correction centers, speaks volumes about her as a caring person.Her love for her children, her associates, and the people who needed assistance will live on.What then can we say about her death at 35 years of age?We can say this - It is the way the Master went.It tells us that death is a universal experience that comes to us all and that life is - at best - precarious and short.Jesus died at 33.Goodness extinguished upon a Cross for your Salvation and for mine.The Son of God - full of goodness and light - put to death by mankind's inhumanity to mankind.We ask, where is the justice0 God’s answer, as by mankind came death, so in Christ shall all be made alive.The sickness of our society was Angela's concern.She knew that her work of caring entailed great risks.She knew her life was in jeopardy and had even expressed premonitions of her end.But this did not deter her from helping and caring for other people around her.The Son of Man will be taken from you and be crucified was Jesus’ prediction.What seemed to be unending tragedy, in the death and of the life and goodness of Jesus - just happened to turn out to be God’s plan for the salvation of all mankind.That victory was won through the nonviolent suffering servant love.“It is the way the Master went, should not the servant tread it still?” staying with her cousin, Betty Clairoux and family, while she studies a Hairdressing Course.Maureen was accompanied by Aulden Young, Neil Smith and Miss Merry Webb.The foursome enjoyed the hospitality at the Clairoux home on the weekend of January 24.The Community is saddened to learn of the death of Fred Vachon of Dunkin Sincere sympathy is extended to his wife and all his family.Mrs.Maurice (Bessie) Wheeler is home from the hospital where she had treatment for a sprained back Get well soon, Bessie.The Worship Committee of the United Church met at the Manse on January 20 to help plan Lenten and Easter Services.The meeting was chaired by Mrs.Jean McNeil.In June 1968 she married Jerry Belisle of St.Albans (since divorced) and from this marriage three children were born.They built their own home, on spacious grounds, which was destroyed by fire in the fall of 1979.Angela and the children lived for a time in Swanton, before moving to Burlington.The Message Of Angela’s Life.- Rev.Keith Eddy.It is with heavy hearts and minds that we come here today to pay our respects to the life and memory of Angela Louise Gage Belisle.We come now to honour her memory and to hold up her life before others so that they may see her good works.Born in the Isle of Wight at the end of the Second World War, Angela came to this community of Stanbridge East at the age of five months.She grew up here and attended the local schools and many of you who were her school friends will treasure those days.A good student, she trained to be a teacher and taught for two years where I was then Minister, in Beloeil and Otterburn Park.She was a Communicant Member of this church since 1958, From early on it was evident that Angela was a caring person.She could not grow up in her family, and EARLJAMESHOYEA of Dunham Earl James Royea passed away at the B M P.Hospital on January 4,1981, after suffering a stroke in the latter part of November.He was in his 80th year He was born at Gilman's Corner on March 21.1901, youngest son of the late Peter Royea and his wife, Mary Cutting.At the age of two, he moved with his parents, brothers and sisters to Bolton Centre.He attended Mil ington School and used to walk three miles to school and be there to open the school, and build the fires in the winter before the teacher and other pupils arrived.He remained on the farm with his dad, until after his death, and then struck out on his own.He worked on many different farms and when World War II broke out, he went to Sherbrooke and enlisted, but was honorably discharged in category E.This was a great disappointment to Earl as he wanted to see the world and be with his friends and relatives who had been accepted.He then went to Waterloo, Que., and got a job in the War plant in Warden becoming foreman in the Press Room where they assembled the bombs.He looked after 130 employees.After the War, he came to Cowansville and was employed at Vilas Furniture Company for 18 years On August 30, 1958.he married Goldie June Doug-all in the Methodist Church in Richford, Vt.After he left Vilas, they bought the former William McCullough home in East Farnham and moved there in December, 1963 and the next year he and his wife, June, started up a nursing home for It is a great theologian of our time named Karl Barth who sent this truth out in plain terms.“On the basis of the eternal will of God, we have to think of every human being, even the oddest, the most villainous, or miserable, as one to whom Jesus Christ is Brother and God is Father; and we have to deal with them on this assumption.The w’ay of Jesus is not one of violence.He looked for a deeper liberation than that which violence could bring.His victory was won through a non-violent suffering of love.Do we as his followers have any other choice?Surely that is why we come here Sunday by Sunday to learn of His Way And so we commend Angela now into the caring loving hands of her Creator God.We do not pray for her alone We pray for those, who out of poverty of soul, and lack of caring love, have perpetrated this loss in our community and in the community of the University of Vermont and in the northern parts of Vermont State.We will miss Angela - she walks with us no more.Her spirit of caring love no one can ever take from us.Her spirit speaks to our spirits -saying.“Walk With Faith” -“Care For One Another” and so fulfil the law of Christ senior citizens They ran this for 12 years until the Quebec government forced them to close and two years later they sold and bought the former William Gates’ home at Chapel’s Corner in Dunham.At the time of his death, Earl was a member of the East Farnham United Church.He was also a member of Restoration Lodge No.32, being reinstated in 1961, Prosperity Rebekah Lodge No.32, Welcome Encampment No.9 and Ladies’ Encampment Auxiliary.He was also holding the office of Senior Warden in the Grand Enc.of Quebec, He had held the office of District Deputy Grand Master for District No.10 in 1972-73 for the Grand Lodge of Quebec and been District Deputy Grand Patriarch in 1978-79 for District No.2 for the Grand Enc.of Quebec.He received his 55-year Jewel from Restoration Lodge in 1975 and if he had lived until May 28, 1981, he would have been entitled to his 60-year Jewel.He had also received his Past Grand’s Jewel from Restoration Lodge in 1980 and his Past District Deputy Grand Master's Jewel and his Past District Deputy Grand Patriarch’s Jewel.Before coming to Cowansville, Earl joined Elephantis Lodge in Georgeville on May 28, 1921, and held the office of Noble Grand there and in Cowansville several times.He has told many times of crossing Lake Mem-phremagog in a row boat to attend lodge meetings in Georgeville and Magog, and Newport, Vt., at night to put on degrees.Earl was a faithful member in all his lodges and worked hard as long as his health permitted.A largely attended service OSCARSTENSON of Sherbrooke The death of Oscar Sten-son,

second heart.Those declarers who knew what they were doing proceeded to ruff a club in dummy, cash dummy’s ace of trumps, lead a trump to the queen and ruff their last club West would show out, whereupon it would be a cinch to count the East hand as seven clubs, four hearts (because of the jump raise) and one card each in spades and diamonds.Thus, they would lead a diamond to their king and take the sure-thing finesse on the way back.We really feel that the nine declarers who lost a diamond trick misplayed the hand.After all, this was a world championship even though a mixed pair event.We also regret that the report did not say what happened at the other tables except to point out that when John Collings of Great Britain held the West hand, he bid on to six hearts.John had, and still has, a reputation for wizardry as declarer and his opponents bid on to six spades for fear he would bring the heart slam home.John doubled and got a real top score when declarer mis-guessed the diamonds and went down two tricks.ROCK ISLAND (IH) -The annual congregational meeting of Stanstead South Church, Rock Island, took place on Friday evening, January 23 in the Fellowship Hall
