Credit slip won’t cut money access QUEBEC (CP) — Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau said Tuesday the lower rating accorded the province’s bonds by Standard and Poor’s still guarantees Quebec’s access to the same capital markets.Parizeau said in a statement that the new evaluation should be seen in the context of a re-evaluation of the creditworthiness of other Canadian provinces.It follows the reconsideration of the creditworthiness of several American states, many of which also saw their ratings slip.The New York-based bond rating service said in a news release that it now is giving the province and Hydro-Quebec a rating of AA-minus, down from AA, because of Quebec’s record unemployment, low manufacturing and retail activity and low investment levels.It said the province’s economy is also suffering because cuts in federal transfer payments have compounded the impact of the recession on provincial income.Reed Scowen, economic critic for the opposition Quebec Liberals, said the lower rating confirms, by a disinterested party, the economic and fiscal bankruptcy of the Levesque government.NOT THE END “It’s obvious,” he said, “that the revalued rating isn’t the end of the world,” Scowen said.“But it is a setback.” Quebec, he said, had made notable economic progress between the early 1960s and 1976 (when the first Parti Québécois government was elected), “but the efforts of thousands and thousands of Quebecers to advance their province have been reduced to nothing.” “A government’s credit rating doesn't change overnight,” he said.“Any change is the result of an analytical procès which takes several years.” The change in Quebec’s rating “merely shows a tendency which has been obvious for a long time even though the government has tried desperately for the last few months to correct a situation created by irresponsible administration.” “We must conclude that it will require a wait of several years before the province’s rating can be raised back to its earlier level but .we Quebecers will also have to re-examine our policies and administration.” RFC ORD/FLRRY BEATON The Prime Minister managed to temporarily at last night's all-star game with his peanut- divert the attention of sports photographers popping antics.He caught this one.PM pops peanuts at all-star game MONTREAL (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau joshed fellow politicians, ball players and fans Tuesday at a luncheon offered by baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn to mark the American and National leagues’ all-star game.Canada’s main exports to the United States are “hockey players and cold fronts,” Trudeau said,” “and our main imports from the U.S.are baseball players and acid rain.” Trudeau noted that his late father, Charles-Emile Trudeau, a former vice-president of the defunct Montreal U.S.rules out loan to Budd Co.; the Bombardier deal still a better bargain Royals Class AAA ball club of the International League, would be proud of his speaking at the baseball gathering, but likely would have preferred to see him there as a player.Trudeau also noted he was probably one of the lowest paid people among the 800 dignitaries at the luncheon.Turning to Ontario Premier William Davis, the prime minister said “I suppose you came up here for a beer," a reference to Ontario’s recent decision to allow the sale of beer at three major league stadiums next year.“When you’ve got a file six inches thick you’ve said all that can be said.” Lack of federal money for the region will threaten the Liberals in the next election, he predicted.“Do you think that those people, one out of four of them unemployed, are going to forget that tomorrow morning?1 doubt it.In any case, I won’t forget it.” Industry Minister Herb Gray said in the Commons in reply to Opposition Leader Joe Clark that the question of DREE grants for the riding “is still being studied.” Iranian forces invade, Iraq counter-attacks FROM CP-AP-Reuters Iranian forces have invaded Iraq and captured “hundreds” of Iraqi soldiers in a drive to topple the government of President Saddam Hussein, Tehran radio reported today.The broadcasts, from the official Iranian news agency IRNA, did not not elaborate on the claim and there were conflicting reports about the extent of the offensive.Iraq confirmed that Iranian troops crossed the Iraqi border near the southern city of Basra and advanced 10 kilometres into Iraqi territory.But a statement by the Iraqi military command, published by the official Iraqi new agency, said Iraqi forces had stopped the Iranian advance and had begun to launch a counter-attack.If the reports are true, it would be the first time Iranian forces crossed the Iraqi border since Hussein’s army launched the Persian Gulf border war by invading western Iran almost two years ago.“Our Islamic army is coming to liberate you,” Tehran radio said in an address to the Iraqi people urging them to “mutiny.” “Our forces will not lay down their arms until this infidel agent regime and all symbols of treason in Baghdad have been toppled.” CLAIMS CAPTURE In a later Arabic-language broadcast at 4 a m.EDT, Tehran radio claimed that hundreds of Iraqi soldiers had been captured in the offensive begun Tuesday night.An Iraqi military communique reaching London said the push was directed at Basra, Iraq’s main port located about 24 kilometres west of the Iranian border in extreme southeast Iraq.It did not say if Iranian forces crossed the frontier.“The Iraqi armed forces and people will repulse and crush this new offensive of the Iranian enemy,” it said.Tuesday night, Tehran radio broadcast excerpts from an Iranian military communique saying Iranian troops were “advancing after crushing the first resistance put up by Iraqi forces” and had “crossed successfully the first bunkers of the enemy.” Iranian forces have invaded Iraq and both sides are locked in fierce fighting, Tehran radio reported today.The broadcast, from the official Iranian news agency IRNA, did not elaborate on its claim and there were conflicting reports about the extent of the offensive.One report from Tehran said the communique reported heavy fighting in Iran's oil-rich southwestern province of Khuzistan, but it did not give the precise location.PUSH FOR LIBERATION The report quoted the communique as saying Iranian troops would use the “liberation of Iraq” as a step towards their goal of freeing Jerusalem “from the claws of the aggressive, criminal (Israeli) Zionism.” Khomeini's Islamic regime opposes Israel’s occupation of Jerusalem and does not recognize the Israeli government or its proclamation of the city, holy to both Moslems and Jews, as its capital.Excerpts of the Iranian military communique monitored in London said the offensive, code-named Ramadan after the Moslem fasting month, was to “prevent further Iraqi and other U.S.lackeys’ aggression, and to keep at a distance the Iraqi fire from cities of the Islamic homeland (Iran).” The offensive was launched at 9:30 p.m.Tehran time (2 p.m EDT) Tuesday, the communique said.In an earlier announcement, the Tehran government had said Iraqi troops still were in Iran despite Hussein’s announcement at the end of June that all his forces had withdrawn.Claims by either side cannot be verified because they do not allow foreign journalists to cover the fighting regularly.The government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has been threatening to invade Iraq for several weeks, said news reports from the Persian Gulf.The Iranians have scoffed at Hussein’s declaration last month of a unilateral ceasefire and have complained that Iraqi artillery continued to shell across the border.WANTS WATERWAY Iraq invaded its neighbor in September, 1980, to gain control of the Shatt-al-Arab waterway, part of the southern Iran-Iraq border and Iraq’s only shipping outlet to the Persian Gulf.After losing large pieces of territory to Iraq, Iran launched a tide-turning offensive this spring.None of the communiques indicated how many troops were involved in the renewed battles.Hussein said in an interview Tuesday with The Times of London that Iran was concentrating “massive forces” on its borders and appeared ready to invade Iraq.U.S.intelligence sources in Washington have estimated as many as 200,000 Iranian troops were moved up to the frontier.An Iranian parliament member, Ayatollah Musavi Tabrizi, told a news conference in Istanbul, Turkey, that Iran “may launch a major attack against Iran.” Prime Minister Hossein Musavi of Iran on Tuesday rejected a UN Security Council resolution proposing that UN observers be sent to the battle zone to oversee a ceasefire.Khomeini.'liberation WASHINGTON (CP) — The U.S.government on Tuesday ruled out a loan to help an American rival of Montreal-based Bombardier Inc.compete for a billion-dollar New York subway car sale because even with the aid the Canadian deal is superior.At the same time, U.S.Treasury officials denounced some of Ottawa’s bargaining tactics and suggested the Canadians were duped by slick New York negotiators into offering bargain-rate terms that violated international agreements.The decision against supporting Budd Co.of Troy, Mich., clears the way for Bombardier to close its deal for 825 subway cars on schedule Thursday with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York.Richard Ravitch, MTA chairman, told a New York news conference Treasury’s decision is “good news for the straphanger because these cars will begin to be manufactured very soon.” But loser Budd issued a statement calling it “puzzling and downright disappointing,” and warned that 13,000 American jobs may be lost as a result.Still hanging over the deal is the possibility that the U.S.Commerce Department may impose penalizing import surcharges against the Bombardier cars.Such countervailing duty depends upon a finding that Budd has suffered material injury because of taxpayer-subsidized financing provided by the Canadian government’s Export Development Corp.on behalf of the Bombardier sale.In Montreal, Bombardier president Laurent Beaudoin called Regan's decision "very flattering,” because it recognized that “even if Washington had financed Budd, the Bombardier tender was more advantageous on all counts.” “Mr.Regan noted that it was the quality of our product on seven major points which worked in our favor, and that the financing was only a marginal factor.” Beaudoin added that as soon as details of the loan arrangement are finalized by the EDC and the MTA, Bombardier will start discussing planning, engineering and tooling technicalities with Kawasaki representatives.Production should start in the spring of 1983, with about 15,000 being hired over five years at Bombardier plants in La Poeatiere and Boucherville, Que.Schultz says PLO must change WASHINGTON (AP) - State Secretary-designate George Shultz said Tuesday the United States would consider dealing with the Palestine Liberation Organization only if that group “becomes something other than the PLO we have known.” He outlined his views at a Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday as sources in the Middle East indicated PLO leader Yasser Arafat was seeking recognition by the U.S.as his price for leaving Lebanon Shultz told the committee he shares the U.S.commitment to the security of Israel, but also believes stronger ties with the Arabs are nopHpd In his opening statement, Shultz said the plight of the Palestinians is “a central reality of the Middle East,” and “the Palestinians themselves must participate in the negotiating process” to resolve it.SHOULD BE CONSIDERED Asked whether this meant he favored negotiating with the PLO, Shultz said: "If the PLO changes and becomes something other than the PLO as we have known it .certainly it is something that ought to be considered.” Israeli jets roared over Beirut today in mock divehombina raids on the Palestine Liberation Organization's retreats, and U.S.and Lebanese mediators trid to break a deadlock on how and where to evacuate the PLO guerrillas.PLO gunners fired anti-aircraft barrages as waves of low-flying warplanes swooped over Yasser Arafat's encircled enclaves in a fresh reminder of the Israeli invasion force poised outside West Beirut.But there were no bombing runs reported in the first mock air assaults on the Lebanese capital in a week, and a U.S.-sponsored ceasefire generally was holding, 4 2—Hi* RECORD—Wednesday, July 14,1982 Looking for Jim Smith?They’ll be in Ottawa OTTAWA (CP) — If you’re looking for Jim Smith this weekend, chances are he may be in Ottawa.The Jim Smith Society is holding its 13th annual convention in the nation’s capital and about 40 of the 1,134 members from Canada and the United States will be here.It’s an idea that dates back to a light-hearted dream of one Jim Smith from Camp Hill, Pa.While working as a reporter in the 1940s in Harrisburg, Pa., Smith found himself the butt of incessant jokes about the common name.“When I was a reporter.I used to take a lot of kidding about my name Jim Smith, so I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to have a big card that I could whip out and show that I was a real-life Jim Smith?” In 1969, he decided to do more than jest about it and set out to form an organization.After poring through city directories in his local library, he signed 19 members in two months.At the first convention in 1970, 33 Jim Smiths showed up.And he once tried to pull the ultimate media joke: In the 1976 U S.election, he wanted to run Jim Smith for governor in every state.Last year, the first woman Jim Smith showed up at the convention.She’s married to Jim Smith, has a son named Jim and until a few months ago, both her daughters dated Jims.Known as Jimmie, she was named after her father James, who died shortly before she was born.He had always wanted a son.But Jimmie and her husband, from Pennsylvania, won’t be at- tending this year.“We wanted to come .but we’re short of funds and its pretty far away.” Jim Smith of Ottawa, organizer of this year’s convention, said he joined the society 10 years ago after reading an advertisement from a Jim Smith who wanted to meet other Jim Smiths.It’s a hobby, he said.Royal intruder slipped past guard on tea break LONDON (Keuter) — An intruder who woke the Queen in her bedroom at Buckingham Palace got in because a policeman on duty outside had slipped off for a tea break, The Times said today.Other British newspapers said that palace police ignored an alarm triggered by the prowler in last Friday’s morning break-in and then were slow to respond to a telephone call for help because they misunderstood the Queen’s calm, controlled tone.The intruder, identified as Michael Fagan, 31, who is unemployed, was charged Saturday in connection with a break-in at the palace a month ago.A royal chambermaid appeared after 10 minutes and led the man away after exclaiming: "Bloody hell, ma’am, what’s he doing in here?” The Queen was unharmed but the latest reports on the break-in have stoked a major row about the safety of ‘Millionaires’ the royal family.Some policemen have been transferred and security has been tightened.But calls from politicians and the media for the resignations of those responsible for the Queen's safety have not been answered.BROKE STORY The Daily Express, which first broke the break-in story on Monday, said today the intruder triggered an alarm but a police officer simply switched it off.‘That alarm is always going off,” it quoted him as saying.When the Queen tried to raise the alarm using her bedside telephone, speaking calmly because the man was sitting on her bed, the police did not realize the call was urgent, The Daily Mail said.The Express said the Queen was angered by what she saw as an offhand response by the government to the incident.free on bail after Reagan scheme LOS ANGELES (AP) - An elderly couple who authorities say passed themselves off as millionaire prospective buyers of Ronald Reagan’s home were free on $1,000 bail each today, charged with scheming to defraud the president and first lady.Ann Yarbrough, 74, and her husband, James, 60, hurried out of court Monday after a brief appearance in which their arraignment was postponed until Friday.They refused to comment, and their lawyer complained the case is “being made into a circus because the president’s name is involved.” Authorities, who filed charges against the pair Monday, said the Yarbroughs were such convincing customers that Nancy Reagan had the swimming pool drained at the Reagans' Pacific Palisades home so the prospective buyers could inspect it.If the case comes to trial, Mrs.Reagan is expected to testify for the prosecution.Deputy District Attorney A1 Botello said the Reagans lost no money to the Yarbroughs, but seven others allegedly were bilked out of $123,000.GOOD RISKS Defence lawyer Steven Rheuban told Municipal Judge Samuel Mayerson the Yarbroughs have lived in the Los Angeles area for 30 years, have children and grandchildren here and are good bail risks.He said Yarbrough is on disability and Mrs.Yarbrough is unemployed The couple live in a rented home in the San Fernando Valley.Ethics committee has new powers for sex hearing WASHINGTON (AP) - Armed with new legal powers, the House of Representatives’ ethics committee is beginning its formal investigation of allegations that some legislators have used cocaine and others may have engaged in homosexual acts with teenage pages.The committee's first meeting on the potential scandal comes amid reports that the Justice Department will name a special committee to investigate the cocaine allegations.The House committee scheduled a closed-door meeting today to discuss what its investigators already have discovered.Last week, the panel's staff met with Leroy Williams, 18, a former page supervisor from Little Rock, Ark., and the only witness known so far to Weather Mainly sunny today.Thursday mostly cloudy, probability of a shower in the afternoon 20%.High both days 25, low tonight 10.have claimed to have engaged in sex with congressmen.Sources said committee investigators are focusing at this time on one congressmen.Williams claimed to have had sex with three members of Congress, but the youth acknowledged that he failed a lie detector test administered by the Justice Department.The House, acting to give the committee broad authority, voted 407 to 1 Tuesday to authorize the panel to have sweeping subpoena powers similiar to those given it during the Abscam investigation into alleged misconduct by congressmen.The House investigation is not the only one under way.A special unit of the Justice Department already is looking at the sex allegations, and a federal grand jury is looking at drug distribution in Congress.And two congressmen said Tuesday a special Justice Department investigation unit would look into whether congressmen have been using cocaine.A Justice Department spokesman declined to confirm that report but a source within the department acknowledged the Drug Enforcement Agency would conduct such an investigation.—___Vm record George MacLaren, Publisher .569

officers who abandoned the burning, sinking Hudson Transport without orders last winter should be censured even more strongly than has been recommended, a lawyer for the Seafarers’ International Union

foremost woman clown, has just won the critic’s prize in the Pully (Switzerland) festival of humor.Among the 25 contestants from around the world, only four were women and Chatouille (which means tickle in French) said in a recent interview, “I think there is still something very masculine about humor.“You see a woman as a child or as a grumbling mother-in-law and it makes people laugh,” she said.“For quite a while, women only had naive or vulgar roles.“I never wanted to perform in the theatre because I found those roles weren't for me.“There should be room now for a woman who is responsible for herself, who is autonomous, who knows where she is going,” she says.“Funny women performers now are starting to do their shows in a different, new way.” Quebec owns paper shares

sexual exploitation of children and applaud the efforts of the government to curb this evil,” a group of 11 associations said in a telegram to Justice Minister Jean Cretien.“However, the current proposals dealing with child pornography lack precision and could lead to harassment of artists, scholars, librarians and educators.” Chretien should delete the child pornography provisions and give the matter further study, said the group, which includes booksellers, publishers, magazine distributors, librarians, writers, artists and university teachers.The provisions have come under fire by critics who say they are vague, general and aimed at a problem that doesn’t exist in Canada and could easily be dealt with under present law if it did.Congress overrides Reagan’s veto WASHINGTON ( Reuter) — Congress overrode a presidential veto for the first time in the Reagan presidency and passed into law Tuesday a bill continuing trade protection for the American printing industry.First the

third-class citizens,” said Angus Curry to the applause of the audience and the frowns of officials of the public utility here Tuesday night for the first direct encounter between planners of a high-voltage electricity-export transmission line and the people who will live under it — if Hydro has its way.More than 250 concerned citizens arrived at the meeting sceptical about Hydro’s plans and what they could do to modify them.They left four hours later, just as sceptical, and angry at what they called the ‘arrogance’ of the officials who they said ‘take us for a gang of idiots’.Curry was responding to an explanation by a Hydro official of how the utility sets its priorities in planning routes and expropriating land.“Our first priority is for protected land, that is parks such as Orford, Megantic and Frontenac,” the official said, and areas of high touristic volue such as the Massawippi and Mem-phremagog Valleys.“Second in Hydro’s priorities, he said, are “urbanized” areas such as cities, towns and villages.” Third, he added, is specialized agriculture (‘petits cultures’), fourth is mainline farming (‘grands cultures’).After repeated questioning, another Hydro official told the group that “if we take just the environment as our main priority, then Route 55 (a secondary Hydro choice for its corridor) would be the best path.” “But,” he added, “it would cost $1 million more to go that way or along the existing line from Coaticook to the Vermont border, because there would be more expropriations.To loud hooting from the crowd, he added: “but we try to consider the human aspect first.” “If it’s just the million dollars that’s stopping you,” said Eaton Township councillor Robert Richardson, “we’ll be glad to take up a collection.I’m sure protecting the environment of one of the few relatively un-ruined areas of southern Quebec is worth 20 cents for every Quebecer." “Hydro will say they don’t know, but they will be spraying herbicides over large areas to keep the brush down,” said Bulwer resident Robert Magnussen.“The water will become polluted, the animals will get sick, their manure will kill the crops and the wild animals and birds will die.It will gradually spread until this once-productive land is barren.It’s the same all over the province.It’s a story of lies, half-truths and broken promises.Everywhere they go the ecology is ruined.” "Sure a small group of Sherbrooke businessmen approve of the line,” he added, “but that’s because it will bring business to a few hotels and stores for a couple of years.Excuse the expression, but this is nothing but a bunch of bullshit.” “You are taking us for a bunch of suckers,” a woman in the audience told the Hydro officials.“It’s all decided ahead.You are just having this so-called consultation so you can say you have had one.But watch out, we can defend ourselves.” “Save the farmland, use the highway.Only cars go there,’’said a man.Eaton Township Mayor Bertrand Landry, host of the meeting, said he H.Gordon Green One of the more curious inventions of the 17th century was a device called a baptismal syringe.One can still see examples of this instrument in several of the European museums.It was about the size of the pump which we now use to inflate a football and indeed the device looks rather like a football pump except that the nozzle is considerably longer and has a strange curve to it.Now this instrument was made for the church by a French craftsman named Mauriceau, and it was designed for use in cases where it seemed that a woman in labor would not be able to bring forth her child.Or to quote the literature which explained the wondrous blessing of this syringe “it is an instrument of divine purpose, by which when filled with holy water, a child locked by some ill chance in its mother’s womb can be baptized and its soul saved before mother and child are left to die together.” The nozzle, it was pointed out, was cut in the form of the cross to give it added sanctity.It is ironic that this invention was in good repute at a time when the church itself seems to have had little regard for the comfort and well being of the mother her self, and thought it the will of God if she should suffer agony or even death while trying to birth a child.Back in the 12th century the medieval Dominican monk Albertus Magnus wrote a book for the guidance of midwives and later church councils passed many edicts about how midwives should attend a birth.But without exception, says the historian Haggard, these instructions were not for the better care of the childbearing woman, nor for the relief of her suffering or even the prevention of her death.They were simply designed to save the child’s life for a sufficient time to allow it to be baptized.Thus the Council of Cologne in 1280 decreed that on the sudden death of a woman in labor, her mouth was to be kept open with a gag so that her child would not suffocate while it was being removed by operation for baptism.Well it may seem a far cry from the clerical piety of the middle ages to that of today, but if you ask one of our modern glory thumping, praise the Lord evangelists why he has been so hesitant to take a stand against race prejudice or poverty or a war like that recently waged in Viet Nam, he will probably reply that the one business of the church is to save souls.Billy Graham was once asked if he would have preached against slavery had he been a preacher in the America of 125 years ago, and he is reported to have said that he didn’t think so — that he would have preached salvation as the cure, not politics, not social reform.I know that Dr.Billy doesn’t approve of infant baptism, but just the same I think he should have a look at the medieval baptismal syringe next time he’s overseas.«Rli / PUP!*1' RECORD/TIMOTHY BELFORD Viola Léger in La Joyeuse Criée brings a nearly-forgotten culture to life.Festival has a winner with Léger WEDNESDAY

and Acadia lives on in all its simple glory.The combination that brought us La Sagouine, the classic picture of Acadian life, has extended that image in an extraordinary pastiche of characters called La Joyeuse t’riee.La Joyeuse Criee, Festival Lennoxville’s first real attempt to attract the French-Canadian audience, is just that, a joyous cry of identity and self-expression that rejoices in its directness and simplicity, yet stuns with its insight and love of life.If you’re at all familiar with the Acadian per spective, Viola Leger’s performance in this one-woman show will captivate you with its accuracy and sensitivity.If your only exposure to Acadia is Evangeline, then you’re in for a wonderful surprise.Leger presents seven different women, from nun to strumpet, each providing the viewpoint of their own aspect of Acadian society, with a warmth and humor that is difficult to resist.Antonine Maillet’s script is lovingly presented and so simply staged, that one is drawn into the world of the Acadian woman so naturally that it is difficult at times to remember how unique that world is.Like La Sagouine, La Joyeuse C’riee is pure monologue, and offers the audience an intimate view of the world, the government, and the church, ; as seen by Acadian womanhood, while providing the simple peasant philosophy that only the hardworking and uncomplicated can possess.Leger is a brilliant caricaturist and her performance in this taxing play is astounding.With the aid of only a musical introduction by harmonica player and foot-stomper Alain Lamontagne, Leger fills the stage with her characters, and commands an absolute authority, while discussing everything from the price of fish to the loneliness of wartime.She brings the world of a nearly forgotten people to vivid and touching focus, and poses valid questions about our own “sophisticated" attitudes and values.I,a Joyeuse t rice is written in the Acadian dialect, which even francophone Quebecers find difficult to understand, but the richness of expression, and the wonderful Acadian accent, make it a poignant and exceptionally charming piece of theatre.Festival Lennoxville has definitely come up with a winner in this play, and the credit has to go to Viola Leger.She takes a touching piece of regional nostalgia, and transforms it into a masterpiece of style and wit, which leaves one begging for more.La Joyeuse Criee is a remarkable work of art, and should not be missed by anyone who hopes to understand Canadian history from the Acadian point of view.It is also an hilarious and moving presentation of a different lifestyle, which evokes spontaneous and eager applause from a thoroughly enthralled audience.It is a marvellously encouraging play.tedl 1 I § and his council would listen to the complaints

School Board was devoted to implementing a task force to combat the proposed decentralization of school boards.Jim Fulford, Massey Vanier’s parents’ committee chairman will head up the force working in close conjunction with Cowansville trustee Peter Riqrdon.The consensus was parents should be in the forefront in the attack on education minister Camille Laurin’s proposed changes.All trustees present said they would provide the organizers with a short list of names of public spirited persons who can animate and activate things in their respective communities.Riordon pointed out several pressure points, however it was agreed Bedford will operate under the umbrella actions which will be brought into play by both major island boards, the Quebec Association of Protestant School boards, their Catholic counterpart, “and hopefully Alliance Quebec”.He and Fulford will attend a QAPSB meeting in Montreal today to discuss future action.They also envision a close working relationship with the Townshippers’ Association.The board, following a motion by Eugene Jousse, unanimously agreed to two major policy changes, namely the executive committee be empowered to handle routine financial and personnel matters.The changes were suggested by chairwoman Sandra Jewitt who said, “Obviously this would not include the budget but it will save a colossal waste not to mention duplication of time spent in discussion.” She then suggested public meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.rather than 8, “In the hopes that we can get out of here (the board room) before 2:30 a m.” Frank Unsworth proposed the motion which won total agreement with the understanding executive sessions begin on time.The board will call for tenders for the purchase of Apple II computers, agreed to the possibility of tendering some y^t unresolved busing contracts, approved the usual $1 million in expenses for August and saw to other routine matters.They endorsed support for a local Quebec Association of School Administrators workshop to be held at a yet undetermined location on August 20 and 21.Assistant director-general Richard Staples outlined the curriculum imposed by La Regime Pedagogique for secondary levels one and two and said they would not affect the quality of education.He mentioned certain parents may have difficulty understanding the new credit system which is part of the package.Despite the suggestions of a provincewide attack on Quebec to contest the proposed decentralization of all off-island schoolboards, the DBRSB had rather a “bunker” look about it with the doors locked to all visitors last night After this journalist tried the telephone approach to no avail, Eugene Jousse managed to shimmy up a light pole and attract attention, finally making the meeting public.Cinéma

has always been Canada’s efforts at economic nationalism.This attempt by Canadians to wrest control of the nation’s vital manufacturing and resource industries from foreign hands is traditionally singled out as the main culprit behind dwindling outside investment.Already the free enterprisers from the nation’s business establishment, many of them employed by multinationals, are demanding a relaxation of the Foreign Investment Review Agency and a virtual repeal of the National Energy Policy of the Liberal government.Unfortunately, they have the backing of the leader of the Progressive Conservative opposition.No one can accuse former Prime Minister Joe Clark of political opportunism since he has consistently opposed government interference in the private sector — so much so that his opposition to Petro-Canada and his stubborn desire to return it to the private sector was a major factor in his defeat in the last election.What Clark is guilty of however, is bad judgement.It does not take a brilliant statistician or a PhD in economics to realize that the percentage of foreign ownership within Canadian industry is probably the highest of any developed nation.Nor does it take more than a cursory glance at the government’s report on The State of Competition in the Canadian Petroleum Industry to realize the undue and detrimental effects of foreign control of our gas and oil industry — the ultimate justification for the NEP.For once Canadians and the Canadian government must use a minimal amount of foresight and realize that a giveaway of our resources and an abdication from our rightful place as controllers of our economic future for short-term gain is clearly a foolish policy.Canada has the resources, both human and natural, to be a thriving economic entity.To panic now because of the Cassandra-like cries of certain businessmen whose reasons for an economic sell-out are at the best suspect, would be a disaster.TIMOTHY BELFORD From other papers Following are extracts of editorials on current topics translated by The Canadian Press from the French-language press of Canada: Ottawa Le Droit : Instead of asking Canadian workers to strike as a means of protesting the June 28 budget and the wage controls for federal civil servants, our union leaders, with Dennis McDermott of the Canadian Labor Congress in the lead, are suggesting using sabotage.These men knew well before the revised budget that the Canadian population would not follow them into a general strike.Not sui prising that they are resorting to guerrilla tactics to make their point, They’ll throw sand into the bureaucratic machinery to punish the government for asking its employees to make a relatively small effort compared with the sacrifices private sector workers have made.A million and a quarter (unemployed) Canadians can testify to that.But it’s hard to see how the government will feel this punishment.Will memos be lost’’ Customs searches more thorough9 Will unemployment insurance forms stray?Will mail go to the wrong destinations?Wags could say that such tactics won’t change the current state of things much., What exactly is McDermott trying to do?Get the heads of Trudeau and MacEachen?Even the Liberals aren’t able to do that.Is he asking the government to stimulate the economy more?We can't allow a $20-billion deficit to grow.To wipe out controls altogether?Then he should say so clearly, and propose concrete measures.To precipitate a general election?As if Joe Clark in power and the Parti Québécois in the House of Commons would make a difference to the current crisis.Too many Canadians ai e suffering from the recession to accept without protest recriminations from their public sector colleagues who want a still bigger slice of a cake that has no icing and is shrinking before our eyes.Pierre Bergeron (July 7) Quebec City Le Soleil: Despite denials during the past year, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has clearly warned Canadians (with the recent budget) that wage and price controls may be reinstated soon if they refuse to moderate their salary demands to reduce inflation from 12 to six per cent within two years.The hypothesis of more severe controls is already evident in the voluntary approach in (Finance Minister Allan) MacEachen s June 28 budget It was easy for Trudeau to immediately impose exemplary legislative controls on the salaries of the 500,0(8) federal civil servants.But before wielding the stick on employees of other levels of government and on private enterprise, he condescends to play with a last ca rrot.Ottawa will have no difficulties convincing provincial governments (of the need for wage controls) as they — like the federal government are also in debt and are facing tumultuous negotiations with their own civil servants.Only the unions bristle as a matter of form and declare a guerrilla war against governments.But organized or not, let's not forget that the work force is made up of a majority of taxpayers who favor controls on prices first, and controls on inflationary wages next.In this sense.Trudeau has nothing to lose.But one thing that is certain is that it appears more just to ask everyone to tighten their belts than to choose civil servants as scapegoats.( ivil servants perhaps have job security, which makes them a privileged class compared with the increasing number of workers laid off in the private sector.But it is an insult to the intelligence to imagine them as the “nouveaux riches." A federal clerk earning $17,0(8) has the right to be upset.Jacques Dumas (July 8) U.S.-Canada squabbles: ‘No bottom line’ By Glenn Somerville WASHINGTON (CP) - Still uncertain and unhappy about promised changes in Canadian foreign-investment rules, Reagan administration officials insist there is “no bottom line" to their disagreement with Canadian policies.As often as they are willing to concede the twoyear-old National Energy Program and eight-year-old Foreign Investment Review Agency are permanent — “these things are here to stay” — U.S.officials are equally adamant that they are discriminatory to U.S.interests and must be changed.But there is neither general agreement on the U.S.side about specific amendments they are seeking, nor clear signals from the Canadian federal government about changes it is willing to make in its controversial screening activities.“It’s clear that the (U.S.) complaint before GATT, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, is only one element,” says an official familiar with the charge of discriminatory trade practices filed against Canada late last year.“It’s hard to say exactly what it would take to put this disagreement to rest.” Several U.S.officials indicated, however, that a clearer statement in the June 28 federal budget about Ottawa’s intent in proposing streamlined screening of foreign investment proposals might have eased tensions significantly.“What we got out of the budget, we just don’t know,” a U.S.trade official complained this week, “Because apparently Ottawa doesn’t know.” Initial U.S.hopes, raised by a budget assurance that FIRA in future would “confine its examination of undertakings to the key elements of an investment proposal,” haven’t been met.An official in the U.S.Commerce Department said if the Canadian government had stated this meant an end to so-called “performance requirements,” such as requiring Canadian-made components or export levels, it would have benefited both countries.“Clearly, if we got an easing of procedural rules, it would help,” the official said, “If only because we would get less complaints from our companies.” The budget did propose some easing of foreign-investment rules.For example, it raised to $5 million from $2 million the level at which a specific foreign takeover comes under scrutiny, and also relaxed screening of incidental takeovers that occur when the U.S.parent of a foreign-controlled Canadian company is acquired by an American company in the United States.Part of the Reagan administration's strategy has been to warn that Canada risks pushing investors out of the country to the United States because of its investment screening activities.The Commerce Department has just released figures showing a growing volume of Canadian investment in the United States, though officials so far are hesitant about drawing conclusions from the numbers.Commerce says that out of a total $19.2 billion of foreign investments in 1981 in the United States, $5.2 billion or 27 per cent came from Canada.That was up from $2 billion in 1980 and $1.4 billion in 1979 and has been part of “a steady increase” in recent 0R66S HIM UP.MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD.The holiday bill: What was said?OTTAWA (CP) — The bill changing the name of the July l holiday passed through the Commons last week without one mention of either the old name, Dominion Day, or the new' one, Canada Day.The private member’s bill, moved by Quebec Liberal back-bencher Hal Herbert, had been debated before but didn't come to a vote until last Friday when only about 13 MPs were present.A quorum in the Commons is 20 MPs, but no one pointed out the lack of a quorum at the time — so Speaker Jeanne Sauve ruled that the vote will stand.The bill must still be passed by the Senate before the name change becomes official.Here is how Hansard, the daily record of Parliamentary debate, recorded the proceedings: Hal Herbert (Vaudreuil) moved that Bill C-201, to amend the Holidays Act, be read the second time and referred to the standing committee on Labor, Manpower and Immigration.Deputy Speaker (Lloyd Francis) Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?Some hon.Members: Agreed.Mark Rose 2 cup cold water 1-2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice ¦2 cup mayonnaise Little salt and pepper Chill in an ice cube tray in freezing compartment until firm around the

picnics, etc., without a lot of red tape.This place has always had a lot of spirit and the staff is great.The students that have passed through here over the years have been very lucky and fortunate and have had the personal touch.It is sad to see the school go down but there is nothing we can do about it.When the time comes and the young tots have to travel to Richmond, I’m not sure I would like that.The Richmond road is no joy to travel on.” Keith will spend three days at St.Francis and feels it will be interesting to get back with that gang as he knows most of the staff.And he will be closer to home for the travelling part at least for three days.“I will miss the closeness of being with the children on a daily basis.” Liz Frank who has taught Levels one and two at ADS for approximately 11 years will be greatly missed.She was a very dedicated teacher and well liked by all.She is moving on to St.Francis.The familiar face of Marjorie Wright will still be seen at ADS.Using all available equipment from the lower end including drapes and fresh paint, Mr.O hopes they can make the part remaining as nice as possible.The time schedule has been changed with classes starting at 8:45 a.m., and buses arriving at 8:30 a.m.There will be two recesses and an extended noon hour for extracurricular activities.Classes finish at 3:30 p.m.The new schedule adds up to about 15 more minutes of teaching There will be new times for the buses and this will be announced in late summer.Each class had an outing this year with Mr.O.and Level 6 travelling to Ottawa by train and staying two nights in comfortable dorms.He has taken classes to Ottawa for the last few years.Going by train the last few years has been a first experience for some.“Ottawa is known for its museum and of course Parliament.Our M.P.Alain Tardif has been a great help, making reservations, arranging lunch at the Parliamentary cafeteria.The children are thrilled to get to sit with the civil servants.” The Level 4 and 5 trip to Montreal was very enjoyable.Keith mentions that a few compromises had to be made “We went to St.Helen’s Island and toured the fort.Because of the transit strike we didn’t go to old Montreal.It was a good time with the kids having their eyes open at all the bikinis floating around.In some places 1 am sure they saw more people than they would in all of Danville.They liked the aquarium very much.And the Metro was very exciting for most.” Orzechowski said Levels 1, 2 and 3 visited the Granby Zoo and Kindergarten, a farm and a sugar camp.He is already planning the Ottawa trip for the new school year.As head teacher, Mr.O., says he’s had an enjoyable year and hopefully “we have set some standards and goals for the students to aim for.I realize it takes a few years to achieve these goals.Often people put our public schools down, not realizing the pressures that are present.We are dependent on the Government for everything and we are open to anyone who wants to come whether they deep down want to come or not.” “I think under the circumstances we have done a good job, all being dedicated teachers aiming for the same thing.We want to give the children the best we possibly can ADS is looking to provide the best service possible.The future is going to be tough for them and if we can help to carry them along the way a bit, so much the better.” Fight Them All
