Sherbrooke, Tuesday, July 14,1981 25 cents Priority mail moves despite posties’ strike MONTREAL (CP> — Private couriers are delivering priority mail for some customers of the post office despite the strike by 23,000 inside postal workers, post office spokesmen confirmed Monday.The urgent mail of several major banks, insurance companies, manufacturers and law firms is continuing to move despite the strike, as part of an agreement worked out between the post office and private courier services.Under the arrangement, the couriers provide regular customers of the so-called priority post system — a next-day delivery service offered only to the post office’s commercial clients — the same service they enjoyed before the strike The arrangement is outlined in a letter dated June 29 by Rolf Bischoff, marketing manager for the Montreal postal district.At the end of the strike, the post office will bill its customers at the usual rates for priority post, the letter says The implication contained in the letter — but not expliciUy spelled out — is that the post office will pick up any difference between the normal postal rate and the cost of the courier service The letter, sent the week before the strike began, told clients that the post office had ’established an agreeenient with a private courier service, which will handle your priority post during any eventual work stoppage at the post office, however long it lasts ” The couriers “will in fact work for you.but we will handle all ad ministrative arrangements.When normal service is re-establishd, we w ill bill you for an amount equal to the postage you would normally have-paid.” The government sought the help of a mediator to end the 15-day-old strike as controversy burst over use by the post office of private couriers to deliver mail for corporate clients during the shutdown.Treasury Board President Don Johnston told the Commons his department has applied for appointment of a mediator and the national executive board of the 23,000-member Canadian Union of Postal Workers arranged a meeting today to decide how to respond.The move was announced as Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark accused the government of “subsidizing the mail of the rich and powerful” during the strike by providing next-day delivery by private courier for such clients as banks, in surance companies, manufacturers *~rtnr RECORD/PERRY BEATON ‘‘Another day, another billion.” MNAvows $100 M to seek oil QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec Energy Minister Yves Duhaime said Monday he’s ready to invest as much as $100 million in public funds to satisfy his curiosity about whether the province has any retrievable oil reserves.He also defended the mandate given SOQUIP, the provincially-owned oil company, to determine through drilling if there is any oil under Quebec waters in the Gulf of St.Lawrence and around Lake Mempnremagog owners have started getting aquatic plants from the government to improve the shoreline environment.Anticosti Island — a notion many geologists scoff at.“I’d really like to know once and for all.and during the government’s current mandate,” Duhaime said in an interview.“For at least 20 years now, every government has been wondering about Quebec’s petroleum capacity without being able categorically to say yes or no It’s time we acted to find out if we have any oil.” He said he isn’t worried about the cost, estimated at around $25 million for each exploratory well.Even $100 million “doesn't seem excessive to me when you consider that Quebec’s gross national product is nearly $70 billion a year.” Whatever the results, Duhaime said, Quebec can’t lose.“If we have oil, so much the better.If not, we’ll be better able to take the necessary steps to guarantee our oil supplies.” Memphremagog owners get water plants By Charles Bury MAGOG TOWNSHIP — Residents along the shore of Lake Memphremagog have begun receiving plants to restore the lakeshore to its natural state as part of a provincial government plan.Saturday morning officials from Environment ministry offices in Montreal were on hand to give out the aquatic plants, but unlike most civil servants, they actually got physically involved in the work, watering the fragile plants, helping to load them in trucks and cars, and giving planting demonstrations right down there in the mud by the water.Tony LeSauteur, director of the Lakes Program for the Quebec Canada leaks royal wedding gift secret OTTAWA (CP) — Canada’s wedding presents to Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer were supposed to have been kept secret, yet last week someone in the prime minister’s office spilled the beans, saying that an antique bedroom set had been selected for them.However, the pieces of late 18th-and 19th-century furniture were only half of the surprise intended for the couple, to be wed July 29.The prime minister's office announced Monday that Gov.-Gen.Ed Schreyer will present Prince Charles with a painting of loons by Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman of Milton, Ont., and Lady Diana with a gold, diamond, sodalite and platinum brooch designed for her by Montreal jeweller Georges Schwartz.A statement said they will also receive a set of 50 leather-bound books by authors from across the country.The bedroom set, pieces of which were made in Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario, includes a four-poster bed of curly maple, a flame birch chest ot drawers, a mahogany toilet mirror and a maple drop-front desk.The statement said the gifts are already in London and will be delivered to Buckingham Palace by Canadian High Commissioner Jean Wadds government, said the shoreline program required the participation of the lakefront owners if it was to succeed “The government acts as consultants on this; it’s up to the citizens to get it done, but we don’t mind showing how to do it, or lending a helping hand Our department is not stuck behind our desks in the city, we’re out in the field And this way we stay in better touch with both the people and nature.The plants handed out are needed to bring life back to the lakes and undo some of the damage man has done, usually unknowingly, with his developments, including cutting back lakeshore vegetation, adding sand for beaches and cement walls for boating “The first 38 owners who asked for plants last year are now getting them," said Memphremagog Conservation spokesman G.Gordon Kohl.“There are thousands more to get involved We hope that when they see their neighbors improving the shoreline, many more lakefront owners will want to do their part.It doesn’t take much work and it improves the lake immeasureably from the point of view of water quality.” Memphremagog Conservation ( MCI ) is a partner with the government in the program, helping prepare the plants from cuttings before they go to government greenhouses, arranging transplanting sites and involving the community Magog Township mayor Fernand Laçasse said the move showed real progress.“Were a step ahead,” he said, “there is some progress.People are starting to understand that they have a role in looking after the environment.This is mainly a matter of education.” Georgeville councillor Neil McTavish said die replanting would help stop erosion on the lakeshore and bring the lake back to its natural state.“We’ve all done wrong by developing the shoreline with patios, stone walls and so on.Now we have to put it back the way it was.” Montrealer George Ferger, who owns a cottage with his family at Cedarville, bought his cabin three years ago and wants to bring his shoreline back into shape.“I’m a member of MCI,” he said, “and 1 am interested in improving the natural state of the lake.We will re-plant a strip along the water, with willow, dogwood, sweetgail and meadowsweet, then just leave the grass long along the edge It’s easy for me: we get two or three dozen plants, slide them in, then forget it.It only seems sensible.Here’s a chance to do something beneficial.” Lakes program official Monique Robillard said some of the lakes in the Eastern Townships are better off than others when it comes to lakeshore regeneration.“I>ake Massawippi is a real ‘cauchemar’ (nightmare).The people over there can’t seem to get it together But you can’t save a lake without the citizens.” and law firms Small businessmen across Canada got some relief Monday from the two week-old strike when the Royal Bank announced that it is pressing its internal courier system into service to help independents collect accounts receivable.But the news was less bright for Quebecers who use bank credit cards the Royal and the Rank of Montreal, the other major eharlered bank with headquarters here, said they will continue to levy interest charges on Quebec customers’ unpaid credit card balances.British talk tough to rioters LONDON (CP) — The British government has told police to take tougher action against street rioters, offering to provide police with paramilitary equipment such as ar mored cars and plastic-bullet weapons Home Secretary William Whitelaw, speaking after 10 successive nights of street disturbances in British cities, told police Monday night to move onto the offensive against rioters Hours after he spoke, fresh violence erupted in a number of central and northern Englsh cities including I^eicester, Huddersfield, Derby and Liverpool But police said the latest disturbances were less serious than the rioting of previous nights and no new incidents were reported in London The leader of (he Britain’s largest police union told embattled bobbies to stop “pussyfooting around” with rioters and urged bobbies to take a harder stance against screaming mobs who heave bricks and firebombs at them “I don’t give a damn for the bleeding hearts, the so-called liberals and Marxist agitators who can do nothing but complain about police brutality," said Police Federation chairman Jim Jardine in a speech to the Derbyshire branch of the union.“Because we have been so sensitive about civil rights, hundreds of policemen have found themselves in the hospital (and) thousands of ordinary citizens have had their lives ruined,” Jardine said .ADDRESSES TORIES Whitelaw, making his call for tougher police action at a meeting of Conservative party members of Parliament, said armored cars, water cannon or plastic-bullet rifles would be made available to any police force requesting them.Police in the Northern Ireland often use plastic bullets against demon strators, but they have never been used on the mainland Hogs top ag concern LETHBRIDGE, Alta (CP) -Provincial agriculture ministers began their annual conference Monday looking for a way to stabilize the rollercoaster incomes of hog farmers.If they find a clear path to a national program for hogs, they may be on the road to a similar program for beef.Cattle currently sell as much as $150 a head less than the cost of production.“Hog stabilization and beef stabilization are the overriding con- cerns of the conference, along with high interest rates,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Gordon Mac-murchy said in an interview.Quebec Agriculture Minister Jean Garon went into the conference with a non-committal attitude, saying he would be more interested in what Whelan does after the meeting than what the federal minister says “The federal government is like a Yoyo,” he said MPs’ salary hike draws little reaction OTTAWA (CP) - Members of Parliament smiled and shook their heads Monday when asked if they had been roasted by their constitutents during the weekend for raising their annual pay to a minimum of $54,600 “Not a word," was the typical response from all parties when asked about voter reaction to the raise, rushed through the Commons and Senate last week to give MPs and senators an immediate increase of 23 per cent, plus a retroactive lump sum of $9,600.The $14,400 tax-free expense allowance was unchanged, but the additional money given cabinet ministers, party leaders and others with special duties in the Commons and Senate was also increased.Newspaper editorial writers generally slammed the package but, in a series of interviews Monday, only John Crosbie, finance minister during the short-lived Progressive Conservative government, admitted to taking any heat.Crosbie, the MP for St.John’s West who hails from a wealthy Newfoundland family, said friends he met at a Montagnais bar Quebec police from camp MINGAN, Que.(CP) — Montagnais Indians have ordered their native police force to bar provincial police from crossing their reserve to reach a camp where the band is fishing salmon illegally.“If police want to intervene they’ll have to come by river,” Montagnais spokesman Jean-Charles Pietacho said Monday.Quebec game wardens raided the reserve twice Saturday, seizing seven salmon nets and two salmon, in an attempt to enforce provincial limitations on salmon fishing.The band moved their salmon camp to reserve land Monday while continuing to cast their nets in a private river, 360 kilometres northeast of Quebec City, owned by American millionaire Duncan Miller of the New York investment house McConnell and Miller.They continued to fish the river during the night while two helicopters from the provincial department of recreation, fish and game hovered above.Earlier Monday, for the first time in about a week, helicopters from the same department observed Micmac Indians fishing the Restigouche River on the Quebec-New Brunswick border.But Micmac spokesman Michael Isaac said fishing will continue although the presence of helicopters may indicate another raid on the reserve, where game wardens and heavily-armed provincial police twice seized nets from defiant fishermen last month.“We’ve told our fishermen to continue .not to worry about the helicopters,” Isaac said MONTAGNAIS JOINED During the weekend Indians from the remote Mingan reserve, joined by representatives from the 10 others bands belonging to the 10,000-member Attikamek-Montagnais council, camped on land owned by Miller Miller’s family bought a 40-kilometre-long section of the Mingan River and its tributary, the Manitou, in 1955.Indian nets are set on the Manitou river, Pietacho said.Game wardens who raided the reserve Saturday were accompanied by 20 riot-equipped officers, one of them cradling a tear-gas gun.Two helicopters and a fixed-wing aircraft circled overhead looking for Indiana hiding nets in the woods.wedding Saturday were “disgusted” MPs are not setting a better example.The government appears to have twisted statistics to cast MPs and senators as models of restraint for having voted themselves the raise it says was only two-thirds as big as recommended.However, a quick workout with pencil, paper and pocket calculator shows they would be making roughly the same basic annual salary today — $40,200 — under both the package whisked through Parliament last week and the recommendations made last December by two former MPs.The problem — as with other parts of the confusing bill — stems from a question of timing.The government has been comparing the immediate $7,500 increase to $40,200 from $32,700 with the over-all $12,300 raise to $45,000 recommended by Leon Balcer, former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, and Cliff Mclsaac, former Saskatchewan Liberal MP in their study of salaries required after every federal election.But Mclsaac and Balcer did not want to give them $45,000 right away. 2 TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1981 MLA’s wife quit custody battle after being shot REGINA (CP) — The former wife of Colin Thatcher, a member of the Saskatchewan legislature, said Monday she gave up the legal battle for custody of her youngest son “in the best interests of everyone” after being shot.JoAnn Wilson, 41, called a news conference to say the news media didn t accurately describe what happened last week when Thatcher was given custody of Regan, 12, by Court of Queen’s Bench "The fact that I have personally been terrorized during the last eight months was an ingredient of that decision," she said, reading from a lengthy prepared statement.Her right arm is still held by a steel brace at a rigid 90-degree angle from her torso.She was shot in the shoulder May 17 by an unknown person Wilson obtained custody of Regan and Stephanie, their seven-year-old daughter, in a November, 1979, divorce from Thatcher, a Progressive Conservative and son of a former Liberal premier of Saskatchewan, Ross Thatcher GIVEN CUSTODY Colin Thatcher was granted custody of the oldest child, Gregg, 15.The couple had been married 17 years.Wilson said she last saw Regan in August, 1980, just shortly before he was to start Grade 6.The boy didn’t reappear until last month when he showed up at his father’s contempt trial.He has since been living with Thatcher.After Regan’s disappearance, Wilson said she was terrorized “For a period of several weeks — and it’s all documented by police reports — my tires were slashed, sugar was put into my gas tank and there were phone calls with nobody at the other end,” said Wilson, who remarried earlier this year.The shooting incident convinced her that she should give up the battle for Regan, she said.“I didn’t finally decide to abandon my action until I was in the hospital.It was then that the reality of the situation hit me.” Wilson said she has taken "security measures” to protect Stephanie, the only child living with her, but she wouldn't elaborate "I dearly love all of my children,” she said, adding that no custody litigation in the province has been more prolonged or extensive.Some matters are still before the courts.“My daughter Stephanie needs a healthy mother able to care for her." Teenage Heads NeWS-in-brief rally to support fan HAMILTON (CP) — Hock band Teenage Head has been getting a lot of publicity during the last year but not just for their music.The latest example of free publicity for the band, originally from Hamilton but now Toronto-based, came Monday when a record store announced plans to rally against charges laid against a follower of the group Stewart Pollock, 22, of Hamilton, was arrested Saturday night at a Canadian Football League game and charged with wearing a T-shirt bearing an obscene message.The words Gimme Some Teenage Head on the front of the T-shirt and a slang term for sexual intercourse on the back earned Pollock, formerly a member of the group's road crew and now a construction worker, two obscenity charges and an appearance in court Monday, when he was remanded for trial Aug.4 l^ist summer, a riot ensued at the Ontario Place Forum in Toronto when thousands of fans were unable to get into a packed Teenage Head concert.Later in the year, guitarist Gord U‘wis was seriously injured in a car-truck collision following a performance near Guelph, Ont.Fox kept wheelchair marathoner going OTTAWA (CP) Terry Fox, the one-legged cancer victim who ran half-way across the country before his death two weeks ago, proved you can’t keep a good man down His example kept paraplegic Terry Scott going when his Trenton Ottawa trek by wheelchair got tough ”1 found myself thinking about Terry Fox going up the steep hills,’’ Scott told reporters at the end of his 285 kilometre journey Monday.“There was no thought of giving up when we were going up some of those hills.I am really happy that 90 per cent of the money we raised will be used to provide for the needs of the handicapped.” The 38 year old Belleville, Ont., resident left Trenton, 250 kilometres east of Toronto, July 3.He raised $1,600 for Working Wheels for the Canadian Handicapped a Trenton based charity.Although his blistered hands were bandaged, Scott presented Ottawa Mayor Marion Dewar with a copper tray a gift from Trenton Mayor Duncan MacDonald.Dewar gave Scott a painting for MacDonald.Montreal releases Peregrine Falcons MONTREAL (CP) — Three peregrine falcons soared to freedom from the roof of the downtown Sun Life Assurance Co.building Monday, part of an attempt to restore the almost-extinct bird here.Twenty-six peregrine falcons have been released around the city since 1976, but Monday's freeing of the three 58-day-oid birds was a sentimental occasion The release, supervised by Dr David Bird of the MacDonald Raptor Research Centre, could mark the return of peregrines to the stately Sun Life building after an absence of nearly three decades.A female peregrine and her three mates made the ledges of the building their home between 1936 and 1952.But the falcons fell victim to poisons such as DDT.which practically w iped out the species in all of eastern Canada.The new peregrines, two males and a female, were bred in captivity in Alberta by the Canadian Wildlife Service and have been caged on the roof of the Sun Life building for the past two weeks.Weather Mainly cloudy today with intermittent showers and a chance of thundershowers.High today of 25 and a low overnight of 15.Tomorrow will be cloudy with a high of 26.Pollster disagrees with PQ poll MONTREAL (CP) — Pollster Maurice Pinard doesn’t take too seriously a Parti Québécois poll made public during the weekend that indicates sharply-growing support for sovereignty-association in Quebec.“I take party polls with a grain of salt,” Pinard said Monday of the poll conducted by the governing PQ in June.It indicated that 59 per cent of French-speaking respondants supported sovereignty-association while 32 per cent were opposed In the May, 1980 referendum, Quebecers voted 60 per cent to 40 against political sovereignty for Quebec coupled with an economic association with the rest of Canada.Rain bothers roller-coaster rider MONTREAL (CP) — Rain is a "pain" but Richard Rodriguez keeps rolling along in quest of the world record for time spent aboard a roller-coaster.The 23-year-old pre law student from New York City’s Columbia University began his marathon on the 60 kilometres-per-hour Super Loop at the La Ronde amusement park last Friday.He expects to reach his goal of 202 hours sometime this weekend On Monday, shortly after getting soaked by rain, Rodriguez was provided with a portable telephone He has met a lot of girls on the ride "and now I can even call them at home.” CJAD copter nearly crashes MONTREAL (CP) — A Montreal radio station’s traffic helicopter nearly crash landed in a field Monday after it lost power while making an emergency landing.Neither the reporter, Rick Leckner of CJAD, nor the pilot, who was not identified, were injured when the Hughes 300 aircraft landed at a speed of about 90 kilometres an hour.The helicopter suffered no structural damage.Leckner said the pilot was trying to land after a partial loss of power, but the power system failed completely as the helicopter hüng at tree-top level.A similiar failure forced the helicopter down last Wednesday and a CJAD official it will be thoroughly checked before the station uses it again.Joliette should speak out — LaSalle MONTREAL (CP) — Quebecers will have a golden opportunity to speak out against Ottawa’s ‘'treasonous" policies on energy, interest rates and the constitution in the Aug 17 federal byelection in Joliette, Progressive Conservative candidate Roch LaSalle said Monday.“The choice Joliette voters make will be immensely important for the future of Canada,” he told a packed news conference held to officially announce his candidacy “Now is the time .to give the Liberals a serious lesson." Funeral for CFMB president Deficit will increase — CIBC OTTAWA (CP) — There is a danger that federal government deficits in Canada and the United States will increase, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce economists warn.High and volatile interest rates will be “an inevitable consequence, with damaging effects to the economy, the economists say in the bank's latest newsletter on business conditions “A more concerted effort to reduce, and eventually eliminate, large sector deficits would facilitate the operation of monetary policy and would reduce some of its more extreme effects in financial markets.” The economists predict the economy will grow by three per cent this year “because growth was fairly strong through the early months of 1981.” 5»9 9511 549 6345 54» 9525 569 9931

the average male earnings in the same period.The average income earned by women in the year was $10,09&, compared with $17,404 for men.The gap was only slightly lower than that recorded in 1973 when

officials are having a busy summer.Not only do they have to handle an increased case loads while their squad number remains unchanged, but traffick has been increasing in both soft and hard drugs, especially since the federal government started talking about lessening the punishment for marijuana and hashish users.But now their fighting the drug traffick has taken on a new twist: rivalry seems to be breaking out between the two chief agencies, the RCMP and the Quebec Provincial •"¦•-Police.'rj' And one of their main battlegrounds has been the Eastern Townships region The dispute is chiefly over jurisdiction on drug cases and their investigation, and though it has yet to spill out into the open, it has resulted in competition rather than cooperation between the two drug squads over who gets the most arrests and the most credit for controlling the drug traffick, in Quebec.While police force rivalries have been common, this one is interesting because it involves both the lucrative drug trade and the question of federal-provincial jurisdiction.The enforcement of drug laws is the jurisdiction of the federal Solicitor General’s department.This department depends chiefly on the work of the RCMP to investigate and combat the sale of illicit drugs across the country.But in Quebec, since the mid seventies, and especially after the Parti Québécois came to power in 1976, the Quebec Provincial Police's Alcohol and Morality squad (ERAM) which usually looks after such vice crimes as bootlegging, prostitution, teenage dringing and gambling, has been concentrating more of its efforts in the area of drug investigations The RCMP in Sherbrooke insist their role as drug investigators requires all other police forces to inform them of important drug cases and co-operate with them on the investigations.They claim ERAM doesn't bother to con'act them, that they proceed with their own investigation without notifying the RCMP at all According to undercover detective Yvon Sullivan of ERAM, there is no doubt a breakdow n in communication has occurred, but he claims the main reason ERAM has increased its activities into drugs was not to usurp the RCMP’s work but to deal more effectively with the increasing number of complaints from local parents, school officials and employers about drug trafficking.But another detective had another way of looking at it.“The feeling is that there would not be such a large increase in the trade if the RCMP had been doing its job effectively "It s too bad that we re not working together that much, but you have to ask yourself: Does the RCMP have enough men to do their job effectively?Those people out there want satisfaction!" The RCMP out numbers the Sherbrooke ERAM squad by a margin of more than three to one While the ERAM squad has a 10-man squad that has to work from as far west as Granby, east to the Beauce region and as far north as Drummondville dow n to the border, the RCMP have three 10-man detachments in Sherbrooke, Coaticook and Lac Megantic to cover the same area Furthermore, the RCMP s w ork deals more exclusively in the drug trade, as well as immigration and counterfeiting According to RCMP sergeant Victor Marion, the question of effectiveness is not the main issue; it is pure politics."The Quebec government has been try ing to get rid of the RCMP for a while.They don't believe in the federal system and the fact that we are part of it They want to make the QPF into a national’ police for ce." Marion's chief defense against inef fectiveness claims is to point to his force's many years of experience with drug investigations along with their strong ties to the United States Drug Enforcement agency (DEA) and the FBI, and compares that to the relatively few years the QPF has been in on the action "If they can't do it well, they shouldn't be doing it at all They can t even do a good job with alcohol and morality." says Marion "It s all a question of politics, and it’s get ting out of control." And as the rivalry continues, the question of contrtol has become cause for concern.According to detective Sullivan, ERAM had to deal with some 50 drug cases in 1978 By 1980, that figure had increased to over 400 Sullivan points out that hard drugs, such as LSD and Mescaline are making a comeback in the high schools along with an increased use of Angel Dust and Cocaine."These drugs are more popular because the prices are relatively cheap when you consider a $5 tap of USD can give you a four to eight hour trip when a $5 bag of grass won’t last more than two hours at the most," says Sullivan.Furthermore, both forces admit that the main traffickers of drugs, the local motorcycle gangs, supposedly the Gitans and the Atomes are starting to consolidate their hold on the trade in the area."Most of the members that we arrested four years ago are out now," said one RCMP agent."They've changed hideouts, reorganized their leadership, made new contacts with other gangs and they’ve gotten rid of any informers amongst them It's getting hard to infiltrate them anymore They're getting smart."

designated a ghost town by the provincial tourism department Leaves a columnist somewhat up the Metabatchouan, so to speak, without a ouananiche to brag about.Where had all the life gone?Townshippers have one ocean beach — called Maine sur Mer stretching from Wells Beach to Old Orchard with indisputably the coldest water this side of Hudson's Bay Admittedly there is a small section of the population who feel home tides calling and head down the St.Lawrence to Riviere du I^oup, Sept lies or Havre St.Pierre Why the affinity for the clammy waters of Maine, especially with the depreciated dollar when excellent facilities with warmer water exist on the north shore of Prince Ed ward Island7 The only sane reply could come from our oracle, “Oscar” the Ogunquit oyster.Roused from his icy bed he hissed display at our ignorance, not to mention rudeness in disrupting his intake of forms of algae and other shellfish delights.Spouting a stream of brine in disgust he spat, “Can’t you understand they’re all a band of masochists — live through 10 months of winter and come down here to get re-acclimatized for two weeks before fall sets in.” We mentioned the par-broiling temperatures leading up to the vacation period suggesting not all might be well with his current information.“Ixwk smarty, you’ve gone to great trouble to stir up this oyster bed and if you’d have made your check last summer I could have warned you.Don’t forget I’m a consultant for the Farmers Almanac w hich is published just a peck or two up the pike.“You nuts have started playing football and the baseball season isn’t even over down here.Just because the Red Sox are on strike doesn’t mean we can’t cheer for Pawtuckett — after all they give good value for their money when they play 33-inning games My

up a provin» lal team with practices slated to start in August.Thinking of ice, worried about cold water, you people have got to be out of your collective trees!” Oyster rebukes came fast and furious and Oscar was about to call an end when we asked him about the prediction of Quebec politicians for the frigid waters of the Maine coast.Breaking into his finest tirade he spewed out, “Tabarouette, they come down here to get out of hot water and they don’t have to worry about speaking English around Old Orchard.” Oscar signed off stating there was a great deal of resentment to the lesser amount of alcohol in the Budweiser, then asked us why we hadn’t availed ourselves of the blonde and brunette staffers who were on the scene last week as that would have saved him the effort of coming up for air each time he had to hit the clam-a-phone.Sorry, we replied, “They might have tried to mussel in on our friendship.” + + + Chatting with our pal Alex on the eve of the “Glorious 12th,” he recalled some earlier days on Falls Road in Belfast.“Things will be really popping tomorrow so I better call home and get the gaff,” he said prior to musing back to a trip home in 1972, when he got caught up in the “trou-bles ’and spent 14 months in Long Kesh (the Maze).“You don’t realize just how lucky you are here — freedom of speech and I mean total freedom.You don’t dare say the wrong word in Ulster today or you can land up in a star chamber court with no hope of a legitimate defence.You don’t have check points shopping and a host of other harassments.” He casually mentioned recognizing an Irish brogue from a trucker delivering to his plant, “We chatted for quite a while, both of us realized if we’d been at home we would have probably been fighting — yet over here the troubles are past.I only hope I can convince my sister to let her children emigrate so they can lead normal lives — as children without hatred! ” + + + One of the more interesting vignettes last week as a striking inside

battle between the provincial police and the RCMP.Three sentenced in Angel Dust trafficking case MONTREAL (CL) Sessions court Judge Maurice Rousseau handed down stiff penalties for trafficking Angel Dust to three men, one of whom has yet to stand trial for manufacturing LSI ) in Eastman.William Bradley, 33, who was caught manufacturing LSD in August 1978, was sentenced to 23 years In prison for his part in the trafficking of the drug, phencyclidine (PCP) commonly known as Angel Dust His two co-con spirators, James Garnett, 32, and William Bickerdike, 62, were given sentences of 20 years Lawyers for the three men said they would appeal the sentences.The trio were convicted April 15 of conspiring to traffic in 7(K) kilograms and having trafficked in l .8 kilograms of the hallucinogenic substance, known as Angel Dust.Constant surveillance of a building in suburban St.Lau rent by RCMP in 1979 led to the arrests of the men.Police discovered 3.6 kilograms of 76 per-cent pure phencyclidine in a laboratory believed to lie a soap factory and sufficient quantities of chemicals to make 700 kilograms of the drug.PCP is an animal tranquilizer which can be fatal in large doses In

LENNOXVILLE TOWN COUNCIL 4TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1981 Editorial The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Looking for a job?Try public life By Alan Arbuckle OTTAWA (CP) The 855,000 Canadians looking for work might do well to give public life a try.The pay scales are handsome in some cases — at least compared with a maximum of $189 a week on unemployment iasurance.Members of Parliament just voted themselves a raise that puts the country’s top politician, Prime Minister Trudeau, in the $100,000-plus-a-year category, not counting such fringe benefits as an armored limouineand his Sussex Drive mansion.With a tax free expease allowance of $14,400 included, federal cabinet ministers now gross $85,400 Ordinary MPs get $54,600 while senators, who have tax free allowances of only $7,000, pull down $47,200.But not everyone in the ranks of the unemployed — 855,000 in June Statistics Canada reported earlier in the day wants to relocate in Ottawa Here then, is a smattering of job opportunities elsewhere, provided the job seeker is willing to risk the slings and arrows of outrageous elections Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, the federal government's chief nemesis these days, earns $41,265 a year from his oil-rich provincial coffers.Members of the provincial legislature pull down $28,535.Both totals include a tax-free allowance of $6,485 a year That’s peanuts, however, compared with Ontario, which wants to keep oil prices low.Premier Bill Davis gets $79,200 while Opposition leader Stuart Smith earns $67,300 and New Democrat Leader Michael Cassidy $53,700.Cabinet ministers with portfolios get $63,000 while those without still give Lougheed a run for his money at $41,500.As if to rub salt in the wounds, even Angus MacLean, premier of tiny Prince Edward Island, gets a total of $53,100 $46,800 plus a tax-free $6,300.Island MLAs get a total of $19,100.New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield gets $30,000 as premier, plus the pay of a regular MLA of $21,980 and the expense allowance of $8,792 for a total of $60,772.In British Columbia, the provincial politicians just gave themselves a raise, putting MLAs up to $39,300 in salary and tax-free allowance.Premier Bill Bennett is getting $75,100.Quebec’s national assembly members get a basic salary of $33,100 a year, plus $7,500 in tax-free allowance.Premier Rene Levesque adds $41,700 on top of that for a total of $82,300.In Nova Scotia, MLAs make $21,000 a year.Premier John Buchanan gets a total of $53,000 while Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford gets an annual $56,750.Peckford’s annual income comes from a basic $20,520 as a member, $30,730 as premier and a $5,500 tax-free allowance.The opposition leader in Newfoundland earns the basic salary plus $18,700 for his office and a tax-free $6,305 while private members get the basic salary and a tax-free allowance based on the distance their home riding is from St.John's.In Saskatchewan, Premier Allan Blakeney makes $58,669 a year while ordinary MLAs get $26,533.Just as they do in the House of Commons and the Senate, those holding posts such as provincial cabinet ministers, opposition leaders and Speakers get additional salaries.However, since not everyone fancies provincial politics either, some may wish to take a crack at a mayor’s job.Vancouver's chief magistrate, Mike Harcourt, gets $9,450 a year.Toronto Mayor Art Eggleton gets $59,333 in salary and expenses, while Montreal’s Jean Drapeau gets $68,793.50.In Edmonton, Mayor Cec Purves gets $49,000.All of that pales into insignificance, of course, beside the salaries paid public servants — up to $85.700 a year for Michael Pitfiel, top of the heap as clerk of the Privy Council — and businessmen.A quick example?Brian Mulroney, long-rumored to be I challenging Joe Clark's shaky hold on the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservative party, is reported to make $250,000 a year as president of Iron Ore Co.of Canada.If he ever takes over Clark’s job, he will get only $85,400 and a government-supported summer home.Letters Bromont Mayor Jacob resigns Picking scabs So, not only do the rich get richer, they get special treatment from the Post Office during strikes.News surfaced yesterday that the brains behind the men behind the wicket had prepared a special service by private courier for Canada Post’s ‘priority’ customers, including banks, finance and insurance companies (but not newspaper distribution departments ).In a letter dated June 29 (just before the strike began), obtained yesterday by the Canadian Press, Montreal postal district marketing director Rolf Bischoff urges the big customers to stay with the post office rather than use private couriers directly.The government will look after all the messy little details, according to the letter : “We have established an agreement with a private courier service, which will take care of your Priority Post during a possible work stoppage.“By this agreement, the courier will in fact work for you but we will take care of all administrative details.This means that you will see little difference in the service you receive, even though your Priority Post is not actually passing through the postal system itself.’’ Further on, the letter advises the select users that “you should not affix postage to your documents,” in case they might have forgotten the strike was on.“When the service returns to normal, we will bill you for an amount equal to the cost of the postage you would normally have paid.” After apologizing for not being able to assure international service or take on any new deals during the strike, the letter concludes, “For more information, do not hesitate to contact your Canada Post representative.” Why not give Mr.Bischoff a call and see if you can get some of that special service?And aside from the preferred treatment for some big customers, what about the issue of scabbing, or violating the legally set-up picket lines of the striking workers.Once again, the government is picking its own scabs, you might sav.CHARLES BURY Dear citizens: In April 1977, the population of the town of Bromont gave me a vote of confidence during a municipal election.I became an alderman, responsible for many com missions; in each of them, I was always dedicated to the good administration and conscient of my responsa- bilities.On November 5, 1978, the population of Bromont, once again with a vote of confidence elected me, this time as mayor of the town I love so much I know it will con tinue to progress enviably in the future.The position of mayor is not an easy one.The situations that the administrators must face are just as difficult.From the beginning of my term, my goals were the interests and well being of my fellow-citizens.Many difficulties are encountered on The challenge to administer a town young in years is quite demanding; even a well-planned town like Bromont.I would like to point out that during this term many projects were realized, particularly in bringing important industries to our town.Acmi & v / ZJ ï SÉMMk fN p’5' ,1' ^ ^ '• « p PDNATO FA^NTO vUN The hard work and effort I have put in, like my predecessors, has not been unanimously accepted

collaborators.Thank you to the population of Bromont.You and I will continue to love and promote our town.Bro- mont is the town of the future, not only in the region but also in the south-east region

about-face.On July 2, 1981, his office admitted that the first three problems had been resolved and that the problem was a purely linguistic one.It seems that certain socio-cultural groups fear that the transfer of the campus from the control of a French CEGEP to an English one will threaten the French culture in the Outaouais.We question the merits of that assumption.However, if the Minister insists on an inquiry in order to draw his own conclusions, we ask him to put Heritage Campus under the immediate trusteeship of Champlain Regional College so that the upcoming academic year will not

R.R.2, Knowlton, Que.Foreign press latest victim of Iran’s Fundamentalists ft 1 ' I j I vl I Jtj The following article on growing government control of the news media in Iran was written by one of three Reuter correspondents expelled from that Middle East country this week.By Phil Davison ISTANBUL (Reuter) Iran's Moslem fundamentalists, who control the government, judiciary and legislature, have silenced opposition in the domestic media, curbed freedom of speech and now launched a campaign against the foreign press.The clergy-backed government has shut more than 20 opposition newspapers and driven the authors of critical political pamphlets underground Finally the fundamentalists have launched a campaign of intimidation against foreign reporters, and religious leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has asked Iranians to spy on one another.In the first few months of the Islamic revolution, the streets of Tehran were a babel of political and religious discussion, publications, posters and tape-recordings.In spite of the popularity of Khomeini, Iranians could criticize him or his followers at the risk of nothing more than a fist fight.The erosion of freedom of expression began when the independent daily newspaper Bamdad was forced to close.The popular daily Ayandegan was shut down by the authorities, as was the organ of the Communist Tudeh party, Mardom.along with 20 smaller publications.TWO SPOKE OUT Opposition to the clergy's role in the post-revolutionary establishment was still expressed in the dailies Mizan, which supported the policies of former prime minister Mehdi Bazargan.and Islamic Revolution, published by then president Abolhassan Bani-Sadr.But when Mizan questioned whether Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti had the right to be both leader of the Islamic Republican party and Iran's chief justice, it was ordered to close.Mizan reappeared briefly, then was closed down again along with Bani-Sadr’s .Islamic Revolution.Only two major morning and two evening newspapers remain in Iran, all either controlled by the IRP or sup porting the government line.State radio and television are under direct IRP control They reflect no opposition and often broadcast the speeches of Khomeini or other religious leaders at full length or even several times in one day.The official Pars news agency functioned under the shah s government, but its executive positions were largely purged after the revolution and it now reflects the IRP line ALL MUST SPY Having tightened the screws on the domestic media, Khomeini called on Iranians to report anything suspicious to the authorities.The IRP’s newspaper, Islamic Republic, told Iranians: “You may hear lots of things on a bus.in a taxi, in a doctor's office, and public places about political issues.Inform the officials of every bit of information you may come across and they will investigate and identify the counter-revolutionaries.’’ The campaign against foreign journalists began with resentment by the official media at the speed with which the two remaining foreign news agencies — Reuters and Agence France Press — reported the bomb blast which destroyed the Tehran headquarters of the IRP.killing more than 70 religious and political leaders The reports bounced back into Iran on the Farsi-language service of the British Broadcasting Corp., to which many Iranians tune, before the domestic media was heard.Within days, the Reuters office was closed.V Behind the news TUESDAY, JULY 14,1981 5 1____foci MXecam Polish refugees pay high price for Vienna camp stay VIENNA iAPi — Polish refugees, arriving in increasing numbers on the overnight train from Warsaw, are being met by fellow-countrymen peddling rooms, advice and trips to a nearby refugee camp at exorbitant prices.Many of the refugees who got off the train one recent rainy morning paid the prices They seemed frightened, few spoke German and most apparently-had no idea what to do next A 41-year-old truck driver from Warsaw agreed to pay a fellow-Pole 300 Austrian schillings to 10 people to a room and no kitchen privileges Most refugees at Traiskirchen are given temporary shelter at the expense of the Austrian government.But the 1,500 capacity camp has been overfilled for months and it is increasingly difficult for the government to find hotels or rooms in private homes for the refugees Ottawa refugee aid plan cost taxpayers more than it helped OTTAWA (CP) The Canadian Foundation for Refugees is trying to play down its government links and carve a new role as a super agency for helping refugees But private groups view the foundation suspiciously as a tool for the government to horn in on limited private donations and to shirk its own financial obligations to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).George Cram, chairman of the Standing Conference on Refugees, an umbrella group of about 50 church and volunteer agencies, says ‘Guilt is the worst’ says Vietnamese refugee EDMONTON ( CP) - Most of the "boat people" arrived in Canada two years ago, but life for many Vietnamese refugees has not settled into an easy routine.Mental and emotional problems, which began appearing months after their arrival, were more difficult to cope with than their physical needs, says Ruth Groberman, president of the recently-disbanded Community Aid to Refugees Today organization.“For example,” she said in an interview, “we would get phone calls from sponsors saying, ‘This refugee, he’s ungrateful.He doesn’t want to work and he cries all night.’ "Very often it was depression, fear over family still at home and guilt feelings that caused problems." Thanh Nguyen, 39.a refugee now working with Catholic Immigration Services, knows about the guilt He arrived in Canada in 1977 after two years in a reeducation camp where he'd been sent because he had fought in the South Vietnamese Army.When he escaped Vietnam he left behind all his family, including his parents.“The guilt, to my country, my people and my family, was the w'orst," he said.NEED FAMILY “It's unlucky for the people who came here without family.The guilt is impossible for them to forget.They try to work very-hard, no matter how heavy or dangerous the job, to make money to send back home."1 worry about my family-all the time.My father, when I escaped, told me he was old enough to die in his country, so he didn't want to try to leave.” Then there are the lingering effects of a lifetime spent in a war zone.“Sometimes when I drive through the country and pass bushes, for a few seconds I'm afraid of an enemy ambush,” Nguyen said “Never in my life in my country was it peaceful.” Refugees are still arriving in Canada, though at a much slower rate than in 1979.The organizations first set up to help them have been disappearing.Groberman’s group disbanded, “not because we thought the problems were gone, but because the problems now were of the sort we weren’t set up to deal we weren’t counsellors or with psychiatrists teachers.” LOSE AUTHORITY Besides having to learn about a new society and culture, refugee families are often wracked by internal strife caused by upheaval of traditional lines of authority, Groberman said.Children tend to integrate more quickly than the parents, and “all of a sudden you have parents who can't go to the doctor without a little eight-year-old to translate for them." Such situations disrupted family traditions of obedience and deference to authority, and meant a complete reversal of roles between parents and children “Parents, especially the father, lose the authority they had,” said Nguyen."But deep inside, the father still feels he is the authority in the family this is where many of the problems start.” The role of women has also changed drastically, he said "Here the women have a chance to show their abilities.But sometimes they still feel behind, even if they're ahead of Canadian women.” Problems are compounded because many men who had high-status professional jobs in their homeland are forced to take low paying menial jobs in Canada, with little hope of regaining their former position.“Not many people are strong enough to work, study English and retrain them selves at the same time,” Nguyen said.“In many ways, the laborers are adapting better.’’ Ottawa should fold the organization and turn over the $500,000 or so in its bank account to more effective groups “Its track record is abominable,” he said in a recent interview from his Toronto office.“It has cost taxpayers more money than it has given out.” The foundation was created by the former Progressive Conservative government during the initial influx of Indochinese refugees in 1979 Its purpose was to handle donations from those who wanted to help but didn’t want to be sponsors.However, it has done little in its first two years, partly because of uncertainty caused by the fall of the Tory government and partly because its first two co-chairmen.former governor general Roland Michener and Cardinal Paul Emile Leger.thought it should play a low key role Despite an initial $450,000 grant from Ottawa, the foundation has given only $205,000 so far to groups helping refugees After an independent study of its operation, the foun dation now lias a new board and is ready to take a higher profile role to help refugees txith in this country and abroad, says executive director Jim Carette.It will launch a fund raising drive later this year, probably aiming for about $1 H million, and will set up provincial chapters, public education programs and a resource centre to act as clearing house for information on refugees.It has also signed a deal to act as Canadian fund-raising agent for the UNHCR and is sponsoring a conference on refugee resettlement in Montreal next Monday.However, Carette's denial Hint the foundation is a government tool is thrown into doubt by several factors First, six of its seven staff members are on loan from the immigration department The foundation also uses government office space and telephone lines ADMITS ROLE Second, Immigration Minister Lloyd Axworthy acknowledged the government role when he told the Commons last week during a foreign affairs debate: “We have taken a major step toward restructuring the Canadian Foundation of Refugees .” "How they can even pretend to be at arm s length boggles the mind,” said Cram who doubles as secretary of the Anglican Church of Canada's world relief fund Afghan plain tent-dwellers flee into Pakistan exile ASGHARO, Pakistan (AP) - An Afghan tribe totalling about 25,000 members has fled into exile in Pakistan some walking, others riding donkeys, camels, tractors or small trucks Hundreds of goats, sheep and other livestock trailed along with them The Sabari tribesmen made the two-day journey from Khost in the eastern Afghan province of Paktia in late April, according to their whitebearded chief, Mah Female sterilization comes of age in India TONK, India (Reuter) — In the sandy wastes of India's desert state of Rajasthan, the missionary zeal of a middle-aged doctor and a simple operation have resulted in unprecedented enthusiasm for female sterilization.“My mission is to popularize family planning in India, and to date I have performed tens of thousands of operations," said Dr.P V.Mehta.Mehta, who tours the remote desert villages in the northwest of the country and sets up makeshift surgeries in the blistering heat, said he has carried out more than 35,000 female sterilizations with the laparoscope The laparoscope, a tubular vision instrument, is used in a simple operation with local anesthetic.A five-centimetre incision is made in the abdomen and the fallopian tubes are blocked with rings inserted with the help of the laproscope.“The operation is painless, takes only two minutes, and within a couple of hours a woman is ready to go home and that's why-people here are so enthusiastic about it,” a state government official told a group of visiting reporters.GIVES DEMONSTRATION Mehta demonstrated his skill to the visitors, performing 65 operations in barely two hours in a village in Tonk District, 100 kilometres from the state capital of Jaipur.Several of the 65 women had walked up to 6>2 kilometres for the operation and were soon resting in the classrooms at a local school where a temporary operating theatre had been set up Sahira, a 37-year-old housewife and mother of eight children, said: “The operation was easy.Now I have to walk back home.” The local peasants in this state of 34 million people call the method a “telescope operation” because of the laparoscope.Rajasthan is among the poorest states in India with a literacy level of only 24 per cent against a national average of 36 per cent.In such a setting it is difficult to convince people of the need for a family-planning campaign and reactions of villagers can range from indifference to hostility.STATISTICS IMPRESSIVE But Mehta and the state’s family planning department have succeeded remarkably.In the 12 months to the end of March this year, 105,000 people were sterilized compared with just over 20,000 in the previous year.“Sixty-six per cent of the sterilizations last year were laparoscopic and this has completely changed the trend from previous years when male sterilizations were more common,” said Dr B.B L.Saxena, chief of the family planning program.“In a male-dominated society it is difficult to persuade men to have a vasectomy,” Mehta said, “The common misconception here is that male sterilization leads to im-potency or saps your strength and virility.” This is why males who consent to vasectomy are offered $18 as an in- ducement, while the women receive $15 for sterilization.Mehta introduced the laparoscope to Rajasthan last year after performing more than 10,(XH) operations in 1979 in his native state of Gujarat “The word now has spread that this is a painless operation and does not force a prolonged confinement or rest upon women,” he said The national government is watching the success of people like Mehta with interest because family planning suffered a setback after alleged forced sterilization and vasectomy operations carried out during Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s Emergency Rule in 1975.The number of such operations now is steadily increasing but experts have said that an intensive family planning program is still needed in India, the world’s second most populous nation with 683 million people moor Ali Jan He said some 5,000 others who stayed behind are sympathetic to the Marxist government of Afghanistan."We left because we would have been defenceless living on a plain with no place to hide,” Jan said in an in terview at Asgharo, a sprawling lent city near the Afghan border, about 350 kilometres east of Islamabad.“After we establish our families here, we will go back and fight for freedom,” added tribe member Mohammad Zaman, whose sentiment was echoed by a number of Sabaris armed with captured Soviet-made weapons.WELL ORGANIZED Pakistani and United Nations refugee officials in nearby Prachinar said it was the biggest influx in such a brief period since the first Afghans began arriving in Pakistan three years ago.By official count, 1.93 million Afghans have sought refuge in Pakistan although some foreign relief workers believe the number may be somewhat inflated.Jan said his tribesmen were a disciplined community and their mass migration appeared to be no hasty undertaking About 150 vehicles, in eluding 40 tractors, were brought over as were bicycles, rope lieds, carpets and several miniature flour mills.A barber and a butcher have opened shops at the camp, in a valley dotted with clusters of small palm-treelike mazri plants which provide fibre for rope and baskets.The decision to uproot his people, Jan said, was taken at a meeting of the jirga (tribal council) held after the Sabaris and local resistance fighters routed an Afghan army force of 1,200 sent to disarm the tribe.Until then the tribe, which had been notified by officials of the force’s mission in advance, had secretly aided insurgents but took no direct part in fighting, said the Sabari patriarch.YIELDED TO PRESSURE An Afghan working with the International Committee of the Red Cross said after meeting Jan that the Sabaris farmers and traders who resided on a well-irrigated and fertile plain — remained on the sidelines of the insurgency until neighboring tribes forced them to join the resistance movement.“In Afghanistan now, the pressure of the tribes is greater than the pressure of the government,” said the Red Cross official, who declined to be identified because family members still live in Afghanistan.Zimbabwe whites line up to join Mugabe’s forces QUE QUE.Zimbabwe (Reuter) — Seven years ago Robert Mugabe, now-prime minister of Zimbabwe, was in jail in this midlands industrial town, imprisoned by Rhodesia's ruling white minority tor his political beliefs.Today whites, including Que Que's former police chief, are lining up to join Mugabe's party.In Zimbabwe, little more than a year after a bloody bush war which climaxed a long black struggle to wrest power from the whites, the word of the moment ;s reconciliation.Ministers, led by Mugabe and his wartime ally Joshua Nkomo, are constantly urging all races to put the past behind them and work together to create a genuine multiracial society.The message appears to have got home to significant numbers of whites, at least those who plan to stay in the country.(An estimated 12,000 have emigrated since independence 15 months ago).The sight of whites swearing loyalty to the former guerrillas is remarkable to observers of seven years of racial war.Many whites say they have been encouraged by the magnanimity of the victorious blacks IMPRESSED BY MUGABE In Que Que, a town of 58.000 with a white community of 3,000, white businessmen said they had been agreeably surprised by Mugabe’s performance as prime minister.The wartime propaganda machine of former prime minister Ian Smith had depicted him as a Marxist terrorist butcher."We all had a bad image of Mugabe,” said store owner Manos Papayianis.“We all thought he would come in here and chop our heads off.“Now I think he's brilliant — the best prime minister in Africa.” Mugabe spent almost 10 years in Rhodesian prisons.His last few months in captivity, before being released by Smith in 1974 as part of an ill-fated wnite-black detente exercise, were spent in Que Que’s tiny Square Prison.While Mugabe and fellow-nationalists were held without trial for their nationalist activities, Henrik Ellert was a detective inspector in Rhodesia’s Special Branch, the police arm which specialized in political matters He spent the last year of the war in charge of police in Que Que and resigned after independence to run a garage and hamburger store GOODWILL RECIPROCATED In his spare time he is chief fundraiser for Que Que’s Zimbabwe Independence Day celebrations.“I think the blacks in this country are naturally very forgiving, very friendly,” said Ellert.35.“I really believe there is a tremendous fund of goodwill on their part and the whites are reciprocating ” Brian Blundell, who emigrated from England 25 years ago, is starting free training courses in typewriter and business machine maintenance for blacks.He said the two-year course, for between 10 and 12 people, will cost his firm $28,000."I think if you want to stay here you have to make up your mind to go along 1 with the system,” he said “I have made friends with Africans and so have my sons.” Blundell, who has three sons aged 22, 20 and 18, added: “We have a mess to clear up after the war and we have to get on with the job.If the white man puts his weight behind Bob (Mugabe) then people like Josh ( Nkomo) might do more as well.All of us here must line up behind Bob " MANY JOIN POLITICS No figures are available for how many of Zimbabwe's 120,000 white adults have joined the ruling ZANU-PF political party.But political analysts say they probably number hundreds rather than thousands.Some analysts think most whites would rather keep politics at arm’s length rather than become card-carrying members of the new order.A clearer indication of their feelings could come in two approaching parliamentary byelections for vacant white seats Whites are guaranteed 20 seats in the 100-seat House of Assembly for the next six years.All white seats at present are held by Smith's Rhodesian Front Party, which ruled Rhodesia throughout its rebellion against Britain staged to stave off majority rule.The Rhodesian Front will be opposed by white liberals in the byelections.The editor of the Salisbury Sunday Mail, nationalist veteran Willie Masururwa, recently blasted the Rhodesian Front and urged whites to leave and prepare to join black groupings.A 76171^^6570145 6 TUESDAY, JULY 14,1981 Living ti__g»i «Beam Female avionics tech makes short-term sacrifices TORONTO (CP) Kachelle Boudreau, 26, is a career counsellor’s dream.Although she was the first Canadian woman to become an avionics technician for a major commercial airline, it's only another step in a long term goal to become a commercial pilot Today, there are two other women in avionics — one with Boudreau at Air Canada in Toronto and another at CP Air in Vancouver It’s a job that carries a staggering amount of responsibility.When Boudreau works on the computer heart of a jumbo jet, the native of Camp-bellton, N.B., holds the life of future passengers in her hands.But with the current boom in the aviation business, labor market experts forecast it will be a job that is in creasingly in demand Boudreau earns $426 a week repairing all the electronic parts of a jet, from the computer centre below the cockpit that actually flies the plane, to the headsets passengers use to listen to music.COMPLICATED JOB Sometimes it’s as easy as switching a lightbulb — one of the 600-watt variety used on the landing gear.Other times, it can take an eight-hour shift to solve the problem if there is something wrong with the weather radar or the fuel probes.What makes Boudreau special is not that she mastered the peculiar hybrid of math, computer science and mechanics that avionics involves, or that she managed to fit in with a hangar full of sceptical men, or her easv ad- justment to round-the-clock shiftwork.What sets her apart from many working women is her ability to make short-term career sacrifices for the sake of her long-term goal — being a commercial pilot; her willingness to set temporary goals that may not be what she wants but will pay off as a job springboard in the future.Landers Tell someone you love them today Dear Ann: This will be a different kind of a letter.I just wanted to write and let you know that not everyone has a troubled life.I received the attached note in my lunch pail yesterday.It was written by my wife.We have been married 32 years.With a woman like this, who could wish for anything more?I feel so good today I just had to tell somebody.May God bless you, Ann.He already has blessed me.—Untroubled Dear Headers: The attached note, written in pencil on a small piece of white papt!r, read: "Howard: I love you dearly.You are the perfect husband and lover — Your Wife.” 1 ask you, my friends, doesn’t that make you want to stand up and shout “Hooray for love”?T here must be other wives out there who love their husbands dearly How I wish you would take a cue from Howard's wife and put it in writing.And you husbands who love your wives dearly — a little note from you under the breakfast cup or on the pillow could do wonders for a marriage that has gone slightly stale.How about it?Dear Ann: I’ve put in five years of expensive, painful, disappointing tests, trying to get pregnant.Three days ago 1 told a close friend that my doctor had informed me there is no longer a chance that 1 will have a child He suggested that my husband and 1 look into adoption possibilities.Today that friend telephoned to tell me she is pregnant for the third time.I spent 15 painful minutes hearing about her morning sickness, dizzy spells and what a maternity wardrobe costs these days.In the past five years I have endured a dozen people like that.They are all aware of what I have been going through, yet I’m the first one they call when the rabbit dies.I can barely handle the baby-powder commercials on TV.How I wish my friends (and family) would be a little more considerate of my feelings.Maybe a letter in your column might help Will you print it?+r^W7r—J w* Dixville gift aids athletic program DIXVILLE (LA) — Happiness reigned at the Dixville Home, Inc.with the news the Foundation Board of the Home had donated $10,500 making attendance at the Olympics in Ottawa and other recreational activities possible.Some’$4,500 was earmarked for the games at Ottawa on July 14-18 and for training and expenses connected with the Olympics in Montreal on June 12-14.A small part of the grant went to sponsor the St.John Ambulance course held May 28 for 12 participants.Nine contestants accompanied by volunteers Paul Boiicux and Stewart Gear will compete in Ottawa However 80 residents will benefit from major summer trips subsidized by the gift.Those young people who are not able to travel far afield will not be left out.Special treats and activities of a more simple nature are planned for them All the youngsters will enjoy seasonal parties.The residents of the Dixville Home and those who care for them are grateful to the generous people who by their donations to the Foundation Board have made it possible for them to live richer, fuller lives Two-colored woman lives in seclusion NEW CASSEL, N Y.(AP) — Eddie Mae Kearney, a black woman, felt rejected for 20 years because her skin had turned white.But now she has developed new blotches of black on her arms and legs that have driven her into nearseclusion.“Some neighbors act like they’re afraid of me,” said the 42-year-old Long Island resident."I don’t go out much.My brother and the lady upstairs go shopping for me."When I go to the doctor’s office I stay outside the waiting room until they call my name.I can’t stand to be sitting in that room.They all look at me.” Kearney’s skin turned white in just a few weeks when she was 19 and recovering from surgery.Doctors describe the condition as vitiligo, a disorder that may be caused by heredity or physical or emotional trauma."You’ve heard of people turning grey overnight,” said Dr.Aaron Lerner, chairman of the dermatology department at Yale University Medical School.“It’s usually not that dramatic, but what happens is their pigmentation cells are destroyed because of a trauma.” Usually the disorder changes only a few patches of skin and is scarcely noticeable.But Kearney’s hair turned white, the nails, on her fingers and toes fell out and her skin hardened and peeled off in scales.Blacks and whites shunned her because they felt the change was due to voodoo or to a contagious disease.When she visited her relatives, they washed her sheets and dishes quickly.Some years ago, she was asked to leave a black restaurant in Georgia."I felt, and I do feel now, rejected,” she said.In 1979, the skin on her arms and legs began to turn black again leaving spots and splotches she finds so embarrassing that she does not like to leave her three-room basement apartment here.“I have done a lot of crying,” said Kearney."I was white for a long time and I didn't feel as bad as I do now.I’m two colors, and it doesn't make me feel too good at all.“I don’t care if I’m black or white.It wouldn’t matter as long as I was one or the other.” Social notes Shelden-Smith LeRoux-Mason —Empty Arms Dear Empty Arms: - Here’s your letter, but those elephant-hides you run with won’t recognize themselves.Tell your insensitive friends exactly how you feel.It’s the only way they’ll get the message.Dear Ann: I am a 16-year-old girl with a very big problem.Please don't print my name or address.I am falling in love with a relative.We see each other very often.1 am sure the feeling is mutual.He hasn’t said anything, but 1 know from the way he looks at me that he is experiencing the same feelings.I need to know if this relationship is immoral.Please hurry your answer because it has been driving me nuts.—Fingers Crossed Dear Fingers: 1 can’t help you unless you tell me how you are related Is he your uncle, your third cousin, your nephew, your brother-in-law or your stepfather?When you fill me in, I will give you an answer.On Saturday.June 20, 1981 at Sherbrooke, Que.Deborah Rachel only daughter of Mr.and

change that might inhibit bidding for talent.Thus a 28-day mid-season stalemate.Grebey, 53, a slightly-built man with a tough skin that comes with 28 years of banging heads with union bosses, had been with General Electric for 20 years before he was plucked by baseball’s hierarchy to handle the free agency hot potato in 1978.His earlier negotiations were held in relative privacy, and even the 109-day GE strike by U.S.electrical workers in the 1960s went virtually unnoticed until it was settled IN A FISHBOWL Now he finds himseif in the glare of a national spotlight, attacked by a segment of a frustrated public, maligned by the press and abandoned by a panicky fraction of the 26 club owners who hired him and pay his salary.A newspaper in his home town of Chicago referred to the owners as ‘‘vermin’’ and said, "Grebey dodges issues and hides behind lies with the stealth of a grave-robber squirreling a fortune away from his mother." Another Chicago paper called him a “snake” and a “liar.” A New York newspaper hinted that Grebey was after commissioner Bowie Kuhn’s job while another sought out members of the electrical union to paint him as an "offensive personality” with a rigid stance NHL against free-agency ASSOCIATED PRESS FrofessfRnal hockey, like baseball, has a free-agent compensation problem.But National Hockey League players and owners are closer to a solution than their strike-ridden baseball counterparts, What’s at stake in both sports' negotiations is a player’s freedom of movement.Players contend that compensation — payment by a signing team to a team losing a free agent — restricts freedom of movement.The owners are concerned with protecting their investments.That single issue has thrust the Major League Players' Association into a baseball strike that now is in its fifth week and has claimed close to 400 games.It may well claim the remainder of the 1981 baseball season.No such dire effect seems likely w’ith hockey, which has another 14 months on its collective agreement yet seems already close to a settlement.The NHL’s present system of compensation for free agents began in 1975 and is called equalization.If a free agent signs with another club, the two teams have 48 hours to complete a trade for that player’s rights.If the teams cannot agree on a deal, they submit offers to an arbitrator, who chooses one or the other.ONLY 12 SIGN Since 1975.only 12 NHL players have signed as free agents.Compensation in eight cases was resolved by mutual agreement of the teams, while four went through arbitration.The players last month said that in their next agreement with the owners they want total free agency — a situation under which there would be no compensation for a team losing a player "We're completely against total free agency,” said NHL president John Ziegler, the owners' spokesman.Ferragamo scores ID with media By Anthony Ross MONTREAL — The boys of summer may be on strike but the hordes of summer sports writers, still have to make a living and the pack descended on the Big O Friday night, when the object of their attention was the Al’s newest hero Prince Vince.There were media types of all shapes and sizes covering the Montreal-Toronto contest, with the same relish as a Super Bowl.There were writers and photographers from the Sports Illustrated, New 'York Times, from Dallas; Rutland, Vermont; Cornwall, Ontario; Ottawa; Burlington, Ontario and numerous other towns big and small.Along with the usual Canadian TV networks a 24-hour US sports network ESPN was broadcasting the game south of the border using the CTV feed.The reason why they had all come varied but basically it was because the Sunday paper had a couple of extra pages without baseball and everyone wanted to know why Montreal quarterback Vince Ferragamo had left the warm, cosy confines of Los Angeles for the god forsaken North and this weird Canadian game that uses only three downs and has a bizarre one-point rule.What’s a rouge?How many men are on the field, 11 or 12?What does it mean when they say you have to give five yards on a punt?You mean there isn’t any such thing as a fair catch up here?How come they haven’t called a timeout?These were just some of the questions of a beleagured press corps' trying to understand what was going on and make their deadline in another time zone.The confusion over the game coupled with the added potency of Canadian beer had a few wondering which way was up Touchdowns and comebacks are the same on both sides of the border and the Als’ last-minute heroics kept everyone in their seats until the end and made for good copy but in the locker room talk of the struggle on the gridiron was quickly forgotten Everyone wanted to know how Vince could find peace and happiness away from the hallowed NFL.Ferragamo held court after the game for at least an hour answering questions three and four times without blinking an eye.Alouettes head coach Joe Scannella said it was a team win but no one wanted to hear about Junior Ah You’s tackles or Doug Payton’s blocks —' just how Vince liked the food in Montreal.“It’s great! I’ve gained five pounds already,” replied Vince with a sly smile."The fans, what about the fans?Are they as into the game in theCFL as they are in the NFL?” asked a young man from Dallas.“Yes, they’re knowledgeable and naturally they get on us when we lose but get behind us when we win.I think if we can keep winning we’ll attract them back, explained Ferragamo.A New York reporter walked away shaking his head wondering how one could say a crowd of 35,000 who didn't do much except boo until the final minutes could be compared with the screaming hordes of Yankee Stadium or even the jet set at the Coliseum.“Are you going to be the next Guy Lafleur of Montreal?” queried another media scribe.Vince neatly sidestepped that one by saying he thought he and the Alouettes could be a big success but it might be a little premature to compare him to the mighty Flower.Still unable to believe an authentic NFL star could come to the CFL for mere money, reporters asked V ince whether part of the package offered by owner Nelson Scalbania was a future Montreal NFL franchise with Ferragamo as quarterback.The Alouette quarterback said he had heard rumors but he was here to play Canadian football and what may come may come.David Overstreet had another explanation as to why he had left behind fame and glory in Miami to come to Montreal.“I was offered a good salary and I wanted to bring my family to a place where I knew they would be safe on the streets.” Concerning the game Ferragamo said he thought it would take time for he and his new teammates to jell as a unit.“Many of our pass patterns are based on timing, where I throw before the receiver has made his cut.It will take time and practice for us to become accustomed to one another.” “I’m still rather new at this game.That it is completely different from the NFL is the only way I can explain it.The strategy is different because of three downs and it is a little hard to adjust." However Ferragamo said he called over 90 per cent of his plays Friday night and didn’t believe it was the play selection which stalled the Al s in the first half, but poor execution.“Football is a game of execution and one little mistake can throw the whole play off.These things will happen early in the season but we’ll get them ironed out later on.” Reggie Jackson he is not and if the frustrated baseball writers were looking for parting shots at L A.or other types of controversy they went away empty handed.They had been handled by a master.He may need a little practice on the field but his execution in the locker room is letter perfect.NHLplayers aid Special Olympics MONTREAL tCP) — In an age of growing cynicism toward professional athletes.Bryan Watson has words of praise for members of the National Hockey League.“1 think the NHL should be very proud of its people,” Watson, the former NHLer who gained prominence as the shadow of scoring-great Bobby Hull, said Friday.Watson was referring to the involvement by 24 NHL players in the Canadian Summer Special Olympics which begin in Ottawa on July 16.Each of the 21 teams will have at least one player attending the event as well as a three-day floor hockey training camp at the University of Toronto on July 13-15.The camp — co-sponsored by the NHL and the Canadian Special Olympics — will serve as an aid in the development of 42 selected special Olympians and 21 Special Olympics floor hockey co-ordinators."I was just discussing it with someone yesterday,” said Watson, a co-ordinator of the program “I said that you read so much in the papers about athletes being selfish and overpaid, but of the players 1 asked, with the exception of two or three, their response was Great, how can I help and how do 1 go about doing it.’ ON TEAM CANADA Among those attending are six players invited to the training camp of Team Canada for the Canada Cup tournament next September.They are Mike Liut of St.Louis Blues, Paul Coffey of Edmonton Oilers.Marcel Dionne of Los Angeles Kings.Bob Gainey of Montreal Canadiens, Ron Duguay of New York Rangers and Bobby Smith of Minnesota North Stars.Robbie Ftorek of Quebec Nordiques, selected for the United States squad, is among the group, as are Vancouver Canucks assistant coach Roger Neilson, referee Bruce Hood and linesman Leon Stickle.Upon completion of the Summer Special Olympics, the NHL representatives will continue their efforts by helping to establish Special Olympics floor hockey leagues in each NHL city "During the season the players will be able to serve as a liason between their respective teams and the committee," said Watson.who first cot invnlvoH in tho cause 12 years ago.“My whole family is into it now,” he said.Watson added that the players meet with a receptive audience."We had a team of retarded adults playing floor hockey and they knew everything about the Toronto Maple Leafs, The one thing they can respond to is sports, and in Canada hockey is the big thing ” RECORD/PERRY BEATON Dodging the Toronto defence was only half the battle for Al's quarterback Vince Ferragamo.After the game he had to contend with the media blitz set loose in search of copy without baseball to write about.Scoreboard SOCCER NASL Eastern Division w L F A BP Pts New York 18 5 62 33 50 158 Wash 11 11 40 39 34 94 Montreal 9 11 34 33 30 82 T pronto 5 16 27 49 27 57

U, Will Sports 1_____foci liccorti Athletic directors meeting to discuss scholarships OTTAWA (CP) — Proposals to end a dispute over athletic scholarships that is threatening university championships have been worked out.Bob Pugh, head of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union, said Monday.He said in an interview athletic directors from the 16 members of the Ontario Universities Athletic Union are to meet in Toronto on Wednesday to decide whether to accept the proposals.The Ontario group has said its schools will boycott national championships unless limits are placed on scholarship programs that universities in the rest of the country have accepted But the University of the Ottawa, one of the top sports schools in the Ontario group, has rejected the boycott.And at least four or five other Ontario universities are understood to be against the boycott.Ontario Premier Bill Davis and federal Sports Minister Gerald Regan have urged the Ontario schools to drop the boycott threat

He said he didn't want to reveal the proposals until the Ontario schools had discussed them The committee is to meet next Monday to discuss the results of the Toronto meeting The Ontario boycott threat was made last month after the national union's annual meeting failed to limit the number of scholarships a school could offer and to block schools from recruiting outside provincial boun daries.Ontario universities don't want to start granting athletic scholarships, but will play schools with scholarship programs if they accept the limits on numbers and recruiting The Ontario schools usually say they are against scholarships because of bad experiences with them in the U.S LESS FINANCING But it is generally understood the opposition is linked to the lower level of provincial financial support the Ontario universities receive, compared with schools in other provinces Pierre Boulet, director general of student services at the University of Ottawa, said rejecting the boycott doesn't mean his school wants to start a scholarship program It agrees with the Quebec association, which wants to play against scholarship granting institutions for a few years and then assess the situation Carol Turgeon, director of sport services at the University of Ottawa, said he believes there are enough Ontario schools opposed to the boycott to prevent the association from implementing it He said his school wants to remain within the Ontario association but also to be able to pit its athletes against the best .com the across the country.Keith Harris, Carleton University athletic director, said his school supports the boycott and hopes that stand will produce acceptable controls on scholarships.Baseball summer classic cancelled .K -é— .% .***1 - 'ï: 'inw® -' - J Ever again?RfcCORD/VERRY BEATON NEW YORK (AP) — Welcome to the all-star break, the annual pause in the long, hot summer.It's a built-in baseball holiday, a chance for fans to catch their breath, sit back and consider the excitement of the first half of the season, then anticipate pennant races that lie ahead To mark this milestone, 76,000 fans who had planned to be in Cleveland Stadium tonight will find other ways to spend another evening in baseball's silent season.They will not see Pete Rose hightailing it into home plate, crashing into the catcher to deliver the winning run.the way he did in Cincinnati in 1970.They will not see Reggie Jackson hit a huge home run that keeps rising in the night until it collides with an electric generator box, the way he did in Detroit in 1971 They will not see Steve Garvey beat a steady tattoo on American League pitchers to capture the all-star MVT crown, the way he did in 1974 and 1978.Sorry, folks Come back next year That is, of course, if baseball decides to have a next year Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, a study in timing throughout this sorry summer, announced the all star postponement last Friday That seemed sen sible since it would have been difficult to stage the gala without players.STRIKE DRAGS ON There is this strike, you see, and it is now in its second month.This summer's all-stars are Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Players Association, Ray Grebey, director of management’s player relations committee, and Kenneth Moffett, the poor soul from the U.S.Federal Mediation Service trying to help them fashion some sort of settlement in this mess.Do you want to know how close the two sides are to settling the strike after 32 days and 392 of the season’s regularly scheduled 2,106 games have been wiped out?Wrell, the last time they talked, some of the words being tossed around were ‘‘scurrilous,’’ and ‘‘character assassination" and “futility" and "useless” and "lies ” And that was publicly.Can you imagine what's going on Ix'hind those closed doors on the 17th floor of the Dorai Inn?Moffett, a man who seems to have infinite patience and an unbelievably high tolerance for frustration, offered a bit of insight when he noted: “It's getting nasty in there.” Indeed Baseball’s family spat would try the patience of a saint.Yet, Moffett rolls with the punches, always coming back for more Not even the suggestion by Grebey he had lent his name to a little negotiating skullduggery could shake the mediator.After Moffett offered a middle-of the-road solution to the tangle, both sides apparently saw enough promise in it to agree to a negotiating session late last Friday night.But then management soured on the proposal and Grebey commented to a reporter: "It’s a setup.Marvin wrote it.” No baseball fan likes to see a rainout but at least one knows when the sun shines the game will be played.The baseball strike has been one long thundershower and with the cancellation of the annual all-star game in Cleveland, Montreal's hopes of staging next year's classic are cloudy at best.US discus thrower banned for life Canadian mark falls at swim meet MONTREAL (CP) — Athletes wear all kinds of shoes — leather ones, spiked ones, shoes with ripple soles and iron toes.And then there is Graham Welboum and his cement shoes.A freestyle swimmer with a weak kick — what Welbourn calls cement shoes — usually doesn’t go far, but it got the Vancouver swimmer a victory in the 200-metre freestyle at Monday night’s opening session of the Canadian Iwimming championships.Welboum was the upset winner in what was supposed to be a showdown between Canada’s best male swimmers — Alex Baumann of Sudbury, Ont., and Edmonton’s Peter Szmidt.It didn’t work out that way.Welbourn, kick and all, was the class of the field.He was timed in one minute, 53.49 seconds, compared with 1:54.46 for the 17-year-old Baumann, and 1:55.62 for Szmidt, 19, who holds the Canadian record of 1:50.27.Reporters asked Welboum later if he was surprised by the win.A bit, he said.His best events are the 50-and 100-metre freestyles.Then he was asked about the famous — or infamous — Welbourn kick, which is decidedly weak for a swimmer his calibre.“I see these little kids take up their kickboards and go like hell, and I’ve never been able to do it.“It’s not that my legs are weak.It’s just that I don't have the proper flexibility most of these other people do, so in effect, they’re swimming with flippers where I’m swimming with cement shoes.” HAS STRONG ARMS What the 20-year-old Welboum lacks from his legs, he makes up with his arms.“I only wish that my legs were up to par with some of these other people and the results would be phenomenal." The two swimmers with great arms and legs — Baumann and Szmidt — left whatever race they had back at the hotel.There were suggestions they and other top swimmers are concentrating on a crucial international meet for Canada later this month in West Germany.If so, it backfired for Szmidt, holder of the world record in the 400-metre freestyle.His eighth-place finish means he can’t compete in the 200-metre freestyle at the German meet, and must qualify in one of the other freestyle events here to make the trip.“My concentration was really off,” said the soft-spoken Szmidt, who swims for the University of California-Berkeley during the winter.“As soon as I got into the water, I said, ‘This isn’t right.’ When you say something like that, you’ve automatically blown your concentration ." Baumann is recovering from a recent shoulder injury which has hampered his training.The opening session of the four-day championships produced only one national record and slow times in most of the other races.Peter Ward, a 17-year-old Toron- tonian swimming for the Canadian Dolphins of Vancouver, set a Canadian record in the men’s 200-metre butterfly with a time of 2:00.83, shaving five one-hundredths of a second off the old mark of 2:00.88 held by Edmonton’s George Nagy.TWO SECONDS FASTER The winner was almost two seconds ahead of runnerup Levente Mady of Toronto, who finished in 2:02.86.Nagy was eighth in 2:05.64.The only other result even remotely close to a record was Mike West’s surprise victory in the men's 100-metre backstroke, a weak event for Canada internationally.West, a 16-year-old high schooler from Waterloo, Ont.surprised national-team veterans Wade Flemons, 20, of Vancouver and Cam Henning, 20, of Edmonton by winning in 57.63, within striking distance of Steve Pickell’s Canadian record of 57.36.Flemons was second in 58 03, a touch ahead of Henning in 58.11.In the women’s events, Halifax’s Nancy Garapick, 19, eked out a win in the 200 butterfly in 2:16, while Cheryl Gibson of Edmonton, a silver-medalist at the 1976 Olympics and a student now at Arizona State University, took the 100-metre backstroke in 1:05.82.Julie Daigneault, a highly-rated 16-year-old from Montreal’s Pointe Claire club, won the women’s version of the 200 freestyle in 2:04.23.Peter Ward said he had hoped to finish in less than two minutes in the 200 butterfly.LONDON (CP) — Ben Plucknett of the United States, who established a world record for the discus last week in Stockholm, was banned from international athletics for life Monday after tests of a urine sample taken in January revealed anabolic steroids.Plucknett was barred, along with Gael Mulhall, the Australian women’s discus and shot put champion and a former Commonwealth Games champion.Although both bans are for life, the athletes' national associations can appeal the decision after 18 months.The disciplinary action, announced by John Holt, general secretary of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, followed routine tests made on the two during the Pacific Conference Games in Christchurch, New Zealand Plucknett, 27, denied using anabolic steroids, which add weight and strength, after bettering his own world mark with a throw of 72 34 metres in Stockholm last Tuesday He had set the previous mark of 71 20 metres May 16 in Modesto, Calif.Plucknett was ranked sixth in the world last year, Athletics inching toward first place Open tennis in Montreal for first time SHERBROOKE (AR) -For the first time in its history the men’s Canadian Open tennis championship will be held in Montreal at Jarry Park August 8-16.Top Quebec player Rejean Génois was in Sherbrooke yesterday to explain some of the ins and outs of qualifying for the tournament and announced that both Wimbledon champion John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg are slated to compete.The men’s singles draw includes 64 players from around the world with a number of Canadians who can enter either through wild card spots or by winning the Canadian Closed Championship, the Quebec Alcan circuit or being a finalist in the Canadian closed.Five other spots are also opened to 24 qualifiers.The Canadian Open is being held two weeks before the US Open at Flushing Meadows and uses the same surface, deco-turf, as the American championship.Génois says this is one of the main attractions of the Canadian event because it allows the players a tuneup before the all important US Open.Prize money for the tournament is $200,000 US with $32,000 going to the winner and $16,000 to the runnerup.A doubles event with 32 teams entered is also scheduled and the winning pair will take home $12,000 with the runnerups receiving $6,000.Although Génois wasn’t sure of all the doubles teams entered he did say McEnroe and his partner Peter Fleming will be competing for the $12,000 prize.This team is ranked number one in the world at the moment after defeating Lutz and Smith at Wimbledon.Tickets for the event range between $4 and $13, depending on the seat and the day one chooses to attend.They are available through all ticketron outlets.Tickets are also on sale at Jarry Park Rifle Team lead shoot LONDON (CP) — The Canadian Forces team, with a substantial number of seasoned marksmen with previous Bisley experience, made a strong impact in the opening service rifle events of the National Rifle Association meeting in England Monday and collected valuable points towards the over all service rifle championship Strong competition in a field of 500 marksmen included the champions of all the British services, the crack Gurkha rifles, the Sultan of Omans land forces and the Royal Brunei Malay Regiment.Lieut.Ken Ferguson of Spring Hill, N.S., won the Standing Challenge Cup after a tie-breaking reshoot with three British competitors including a former Royal Marines Queen’s Medal winner.After putting all 10 shots into the bull from a standing position for highest possible 50, Ferguson scored 49 on the reshoot to beat his nearest rival by one point.Among the winners in the march were Sgt.Clement Pom-merleau of Val Belair, Que.Cpl M Lamothe of Val Belair.and Sgt Hector McLellan, of Pembroke, Ont., all with 49 In the Bisley Bullet Trophy match, a deliberate aim event at 300 yards, won by one of the Gurkhas who was the only man to score highest possible 35, Sgt Rino Levesque of Val Belair, finished third with 34.Competition was so close that WO Jacques Dugas of Quebec City, who also had 34.finished ninth and Ken Ferguson, with 33.ended up 16th.Other winners, with 33, were Cpl Daniel Demeuse and Sgt.Clement Pom-merleu, both of the Royal 22nd Regiment in Val Belair By Marc Gaudet COATICOOK - The Coa-ticook Athletics are slowly regaining the form most observers believed they were capable of at the beginning of the season and are now just five and a half games back of division leader La-salle Cardinals.Last week, Coaticook defeated Three Rivers Eagles, 6-3, and Saint Laurent Braves, 6-2, but lost to La-salle, 5-4.Lasalle Cardinals came to Coaticook Monday night.Before 820 fans in Coaticook, the Athletics outhit Lasalle 6-4.The loss was credited to Guy

nohitter in Lasalle.Lasalle centerfielder Steve Wolfenden and shortstop Don Cantwell had two hits each in the win Wolfenden slammed a double and a triple.Saturday the Athletics hosted Three Rivers Eagles and Coaticook came through with a sparkling 6-3 triumph before 740 fans.The A’s received a set- back when former Drum mondville Royals Jean-Guy Goulet left the team He was apparently fed up

Mozuk.Both pitched superbly for seven innings.The A’s scored four times in the second, once in the fourth and once in the sixth.but added more than three metres to his previous best toss at the Modesto meet.SCHMIDT REGAINS MARK The ban deprives Plucknett of the record, which now reverts to Wolfgang Schmidt of East Germany, who threw 71.18 metres Aug 9, 1978 in East Berlin.Plucknett and Mulhall both won their events in Christchurch, but those victories and all subsequent achievements now are scratched from the record books.A short statement issued by the IAAF in London said samples taken from the two athletes in Christchurch revealed that “a measure of anabolic steroids were present.” It said the tests had been confirmed at a European laboratory in the presence of representatives from the two countries involved "The Athletics Congress of the United States and the Amateur Athletic Union of Australia have also been informed that the athletes are ineligible to take part in competition under IAAF rules from the date of the competition in question.“In addition, all performances set by the two athletes since the Pacific Conference Games are null and void.” Plucknett was unavailable for comment.Several other athletes, including a number of discus throwers, have been suspended for using anabolic steroids.Five Eastern European women athletes were barred last year, but the IAAF later voted to let them compete in the Moscow Olympic Games.S47-2M4 TILDEN Fcar RENTAL • MOVINQ trucksI WEEKEND SPECIALTY I 4141 Kinf St W .Sh«i1»rMfc« VI Eitrt« FfR CEMENT

MILL In 1796 Avery Denison came from Connecticut and settled on 5,000 acres of land, which had to be cleared of stones and trees before he could begin farming.His land had two good springs and, near them, the land dropped quickly.His son, Simeon, used the stones to build a dam where water from the springs trickled over rocks to lower ground.At the dam he built a flume to bring water to turn the turbines of the grist mill he spent five years building.Before 1860 he was grinding grain for himself and neighbors Denisons and the mill were in operation until 1963.Out of use the mill became dilapidated — part of the foundations at the back gave way, the windows had to be boarded up, the roof leaked.In 1971 James and Françoise Quig bought it.Their renovations were sufficiently advanced by 1973 for the mill to become an Historic Monument.They opened it as an example of early mills.A tin roof replaced an earlier tin one, that covered the original shingles.The Quigs cleaned the bricks lining the interior.Planks and parts of the hand-hewn beams were repaired, wherever possible preserving the original wooden pegs.Many of the windows are new.The workings of the mill are ingenious and labor-saving.The farmers dropped their grain into square vats.Turning one of the several w heels that control the amount of water going through the flume sent the grain upwards through a shaft to remove dust.The grain was diverted to another shaft leading down to the grindstones.Another wheel opened the flume for more water to turn the stones brought from Scotland.From Quebec they came by ox-cart, a long hazardous journey.Today, thanks to the Quigs, it is possible to admire the thought that went into the mill, the careful planning and the long wait to receive required machinery.On display are catalogues the Denisons studied, books describing the different types of grindstones, stoves and mill equipment.Photographs from the 1880s up to the present time are arranged on the walls.Turbines are below the main floor and upstairs more of the works and repairs can be seen.At the back is a kitchen with an early stove, an apple peeler, a hand-operated washing machine, a rocker and many gadgets including a wooden tray with holes for eggs.This tray was suspended so mice couldn't reach it.Françoise Quig welcomes visitors on summer afternoons, lets them prowl around inside and view the scenery outside before telling them about the Denison family, the mill and the village that grew around it.She serves tea or coffee with the cake and cookies (recipes free), she bakes in the old-fashioned stove.There is an admission charge.Several members of the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society visited the Denison Mill on June 13 for a first hand experience of this historic and picturesque area.Following the tour of the mill and a visit to the century-old Holy Trinity Anglican Church, members continued on to the Richmond County Historical Museum at Melbourne where they were welcomed by Mrs.Estelle Blouin and her daughters.The visitors were guided 'round the premises by the enthusiastic young hostesses.The building on the old stage coach road to Waterloo was formerly known as El-hot’s Tavern.It is now maintained as a nineteenth century dwelling with items of regional interest displayed as in olden times.This museum is open from June 24 until August 30 from Wednesday to Sunday inclusive.* » * # » * § i « ?**#«» .mV .1 a lil K ?* • m m m * * m.* S .N Kiwanis presents gift to camp ill Xl: "X v.Tuesday last, at their annual barbecue, the Crippled Children’s
