cleanup in the wake of Hurricane Belle continued today.Electric company crews were stringing new lines, homeowners were pumping out basements and officials were totalling up at least $20 million in damages.Three deaths were reported Tuesday as Belle paraded across Long Island only 20 miles east of New York City’s Times Square, slammed into the Connecticut coast and saturated central New England with torrential rains.The U.S weatner service reported today that Belle now is a low-pressure area in the Atlantic provinces.The storm had been a full-scale hurricane when it hit the south shore of Long Island.Small boats were smashed, cellars were flooded and power to thousands of customers was knocked out by falling trees and branches.The Long Island Lighting Co.reported that 166,000 customers were still without power today and said it might be 48 hours before full service was restored.KILLED BY TREE The first death directly attributed to Belle occurred on Long Island when Karen Mayer, 19, was killed by a falling tree.Police in Vermont later reported that Barbara Chamberlain, 32, and her seven-year-old son Russell were drowned when the footbridge they were crossing near their home in Huntington was swept away Six other people were killed in traffic accidents on rainslicked roads during Belle’s three-day march along the Atlantic coast from her Florida spawning ground.Until Belle hit Long Island, however, the centre of the hurricane had remained far enough off shore to prevent serious damage.Damages Belle felt here SHERBROOKE - The Eastern Townships felt ».he rough edges of Hurricane Belle yesterday aô almost two and a half inches of rain fell, a spokesman for Environment Canada said It was not the heaviest downpour this year, however, Last June, some 4.29 cm fell on the city during a six-hour period.Stiff winds accompanied yesterday’s inclement weather, which gave way to clear skies during the evening.No serious accidents were reported by municipal and Quebec police in Sherbrooke, where motorists seemed to avoid travelling during the storm.Between Lennoxville and Ascot, however, the gravel Biron Road washed out at one section A provincial roads department spokesman said the route is expected to be reopened to traffic by this afternoon on Long Island was estimated at $8 million and New York City officials said erosion at the city’s Rock-away Beach will cost at least $3 million to repair.New Jersey was spared the full impact of Belle, but 500 feet of the Atlantic City boardwalk was torn up by surf.Atlantic City’s public works commissioner put a $5 million figure on the damage to the boardwalk, beaches and public buildings, and said private homes and businesses suffered at least $2 tnill; n in damages.Officials in New Jersey s Monmouth County put the damage to shoreline property at $3.6 million while officials in Ocean County said Belle did $1 million damage there.Numerous roads and bridges were wiped out in Vermont and farmlands were flooded as Belle, by then stripped of her hurricane title and labelled a tropical storm, dumped torrential rain over much of the state.Prisoner's strike a flop' By THE CANADIAN PRESS A one-day hunger strike by some prisoners in Canadian penitentiaries was a “colossal flop,’’ said Claude Tessier, a spokesman for the solicitor-general’s department.He said Tuesday that almost all prisoners refused to eat in three of 54 federal institutions and there was a fast by août 60 per cent of the prisoners in three other prisons The strike was called by a national support group for prisoners to protest the method of segregation used Irate cabbie runs over two NEW YORK ( Reuter) — A taxi driver, annoyed because a fire truck was blocking traffic, allegedly ran down two firemen, injuring one critically, police said Police charged Edwardo Guerra with assault, reckless endangerment obstructing governmental administration, leaving the scene of an accident and attempted escape Police said the cabbie was stuck in a traffic jam caused by a fire truck backing into its garage Tuesday Enraged, he allegedly ran down two firemen, frac tuning the skull one The rest of second fireman was only brushed aside Police later arrested the man, using a licence number supplied by firemen, and took him to a hospital accompanied by one of the injured firemen During the trip to the hospital, he alledgedly tried to escape but was subdued, police said in Canada’s maximum-security prisons.The majority of prisoners in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia took part in the strike while most in the Prairies and Maritime provinces did not participate.Dave Cole, a Toronto lawyer and member of the support group, said Tuesday the poor support shown by those in Prairie and Maritime institutions could be attributed partly to lack of organization He said the protest was aimed at maximum-security prisons and there was no at- Ü $ *! tempt to organize at most of the 54 instiutions mentioned by Mr.Tessier.Mr.Tessier said the best response was by almost 100 per cent of the prisoners at Millhaven near Kingston, Ont.Ontario prison officials said there was almost solid support for the strike at Kingston-area, medium-security prisons of Wark-worth, Joyceville and Collins Bay.Mr.Tessier said he could guarantee on behalf of the federal government there would be no recriminations against those particpating in July price increases lowest in three years OTTAWA (CP) — A continuing moderation in food price rises during July resulted in the smallest 12-month increase in the consumer price index in more than three years.Statistics Canada said today Consumer prices rose by only 6.8 per cent in the 12 months to July.The last time there was a lower 12-month increase in the index was in April, 1973, when it rose by 6 6 per cent The index—the most widely used measure of the strike.A British Columbia prison spokesman said routine at the British Columbia penitentiary was normal despite the fast Prisoners worked and took their regular exercise Tuesday’s strike date was selected by the support group, consisting of former prisoners, lawyers and concerned citizens, to commemorate the prison deaths of Edward Nalon on Aug.10, 1974, and Robert Landers on May 21.Both men died in segregation units at Millhaven inflation—rose by four-tenths per cent in July This is down slightly from its one-half of one percentage point increase in June and continues a trend of more moderate price rises since the start of the year Higher costs for owning or renting a home were the main reason for the over all index rise, while increased charges for recreation and for some food items were a smaller factor Pork prices went up by about 2.3 per cent and IT’S GETTING SO you can’t leave anything anywhere these days without returning to find parts missing, as emphasised by this motorcycle on King Street yesterday.What more likely happened was that the owner, after suffering a flat tire, removed it and proceeded to the nearest repair shop down the street.( Record photo by Steve Bell ) The World in focus MacEachen to D.C.OTTAWA (CP) — External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen will visit Washington Aug 17 and 18 for consultations with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger The department of external affairs said Tuesday the two men will discuss bilateral and international issues The visit is another in a series of meetings between Mr MacEachen and Dr.Kissinger There had been some expectation that the two might meet during the Montreal Olympics but Dr.Kissinger did not attend K.explains pressure DEAUVILLE.France ( Reuter) — U S.State Secretary Henry Kissinger told France on Tuesday that the pressure he applied to block the sale of French nuclear reprocessing equipment to Pakistan was simply an ex-p'.nation of a forthcoming U.S law Kissinger had warned Pakistan it might lose all U.S.military and economic aid if it buys the reprocessing plant which would be capable of producing the plutonium to make atomic weapons His intervention prompted French charges that the U.S.was exerting improper pressure on the parties to the deal.Kissinger said he hoped that after the August holiday the three parties—the U.S , Pakistan and France—could exchange views on how to solve the problem The likeliest solution now appears to be the delivery of the French reactor to Pakistan, but with increased safeguards to prevent the diversion of the plutonium for nuclear weapons.Launch new attack BEIRUT (AP) — Christian fighters launched a new attack today to try to finish off the siege of the Ta 1 Zaatar Palestinian refugee camp in Christian east Beirut Security sources said as many as 4,000 Christian fighters of the Phalange and National Liberal parties were pounding the devastated camp with artillery, rockets and heavy mortars The dwindling force of Palestinian defenders was reduced to small arms More Lebanese Moslems were reported escaping from the camp in small groups amid the bombardment Some were brought to Moslem west Beirut in truck convoys organized by the Shiite Moslem sect There they joined about 3,000 refugees from the Nabaa Moslem slum district, one mile from Tal Zaatar, which the Christians overran last weekend Some of the refugees reported they were fired on by the Christians when they emerged from Tal Zaatar and Nabaa.They said a number of the fleeing Moslems were killed or wounded Fighting also continued in the mountains east of Beirut and across the no-man’s land between the Christian and Moslem sectors of Beirut.FIRE HEAVY There were heavy exchanges of fire between Moslem Chiyah and Christian Ein Rummaneh, two neighboring southern suburbs Many persons were reported fleeing from Chiyah because they feared a Christian attempt to take the suburb Security sources and hospital officials estimated 140 persons killed and more than 200 wounded on all fronts during the 24 hours before 5pm Tuesday This was a considerable increase in the recent daily casualty estimates Puzzling Mars PASADENA, Calif.^ AP) — Mars is still puzzling Viking scientists with its “fancy chemistry” that mimics life, but many experts feel the riddles can be solved by further Viking tests Some scientists say it will probably take until late this month to determine whether the planet’s highly active soil is harboring any kind of life But there is a gloomier assessment Dr Joshua Lederberg, a renowned biologist and expert in the field of extra-terrestrial life, said he thinks that the most likely outcome at the completion of further experiments will be that scientists will be in approximately the same position They will have a set of exciting data but will not have made a definite conclusion Researchers at a forum on life research said Tuesday they have not determined yet whether surprising gas generation in test samples of Martian soil is a sign of life or activity produced by puzzling chemical reactions Several experiments on Mars and some on earth—are planned to identify the processes One, a search for organic molecules in Mars soil, should report its results this weekend vegetables, coffee and restaurant meals cost more in July than earlier But this was partly offset by low’er prices for beef products and for sugar.Statistics Canada said The agency said that for the first time in more than five years, costs for food consumed at home went down from year-earlier levels There was a six-tenths of one per cent decline in these prices But July’s improved price performance was mainly in food items.Excluding food, costs for the other components measured by the consumer price index rose by six-tenths of one per cent.HOTELS HIGHER Besides increased shelter charges, seasonally higher prices for hotels and motelus were noted by Statistics Canada, while increased train fares pushed up transportation charges However, there was a slight decline in gasoline prices and in costs for owning and operating automobiles.Food prices, the main reason for the improved consumer prices performance this year, are not directly controlled by the government’s anti-inflation control program Jean-Luc Peoin.anti-inflation board chairman, recently issued a statement rejecting an inquiry into boneless beef prices because he said that board studies showed lower imported boneless beef prices were already being passed on to consumers voluntarily.Despite the moderation in prices, the purchasing power of the dollar remains weak A 1971 dollar was worth only about 67 cents at July prices The over all index in July stood at 149 3, up from 148 7 in June On a 1971 base of 100, the index was at 139.8 in July, 1975 Put another way, this means a basket of consumer items that cost $100 in 1971 had risen to $149 30 by last month The same items cost $148 70 in June and $139 80 in July a year ago Hospital techs return to work MONTREAL (CP)— Medical technicians who had been on strike for eight weeks returned to work at 24 Quebec hospitals Tuesday, but normal operations were not expected to resume until next week Craig Gauthier of the Quebec Hospital Association said the hospitals will not be able to return completely to normal until next Monday Spokesmen for some French language hosiitals said their emergency departments were still closed, although most of the 1,900 x-ray and laboratory technicians arrived on schedul 8) 2 a m.EDT The technicians, affiliated with the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU), walked out June 18 in a bid to retain wage parity with Quebec nurses About 350 technicians by 77 per cent at a meeting Monday night to accept pay increases which would set wage scales at between $202 and $292 weekly, beginning July 1, 1976 The wage scale in the first three years of the four-year contract.retroactive to 1975, is the same as that previously offered.PROPOSAL MODIFIED But the government n odified its wage proposal for the final year, offering a maximum wage of between $234 and $338 a week beginning July 1, 1978-0.8 per cent less than CNTU nurses who accepted a four-year agreement two months ago “It’s no use trying to negotiate for more,” said Gisele Cartier, president of the technicians’ union.“Under the circumstances, I’m very satisfied with the agreement.” Meanwhile, a union representing supervisory nurses said in a statement its members may offer resignations in the next few weeks to protest the impasse in their talks with the Quebec government United Management Nurses said they earn an average of $3,000 less than their subordinates, and negotiations which began a year ago have been “fruitless.” ( Record Highlights RESTORATION plans are in store for the second phase of urban development in Sherbrooke’s Centre and West Wards Page

words “If it is successful economically, I see it as the first rung on the ladder to destruction of the current way of life (in the Red Deer region).” But his view isn’t shared by civic and planning officials who see the blossoming petrochemical industry as a way to promote growth and provide economic diversification for an area heavily dependent on agriculture Mayor Roy McGregor bubbles over with enthusiasm, saying “this is going to be great for Alberta as well as Red Deer ’’ “It’s a diversification of the economy and anything that can be done in that respect has to be great for the whole province.’* PROBLEMS EXPECTED Bill Shaw, senior associate planner with the Red Deer regional planning commission.concedes that the introduction of the petrochemical industry will cause some problems But he also points to the economic diversification as a longterm advantage that outweighs any short-term difficulties The subject of Mr Mills’ concern and Mayor McGregor’s delight is the Alberta Gas Ethylene Co.Ltd plant being built at Joffre, a farming community 12 miles east of here.The plant, an integral part of the worldscale petrochemical industry being established in Alberta, will produce about 1.2 billion pounds annually of ethylene, which will then be used in derivative plants for upgrading into other petrochemicals Capital costs for the plant are estimated at $250 million, while a pipeline which will carry the ethylene to plants in the Fort Saskatchewan area near Edmonton has a price tag of about $100 million.A peak construction force of 1,200 workers is expected before the project is completed in late 1978 FEARS GROWTH Mr Mills is one of the few area residents who has taken an active public stand against the plant He sees it as the beginning of a major push for industrialization in central Alberta and has visions of a cluster of derivative plants and other industries eventually being established and causing uncontrolled growth.“Red Deer at 30,000 people is a nice place to live,” he says “It’s the kind of place where you want to bring up your kids I don’t want a bigger city “We have zero unemployment and many fewer social problems than larger cities We have a high standard of living and that’s because of agriculture ” Alberta Gas Ethylene officials say three sections of farmland were acquired for the plant and although some area farmers have expressed concern about industrial encroachment on prime agricultural land, the petrochemical industry appears to have the support of most residents.Mayor McGregor says it’s possible that Red Deer’s current population of 32,000 might reach 50,000 within 10 years if the provincial government continues its policy of encouraging decentralization of govern- European currency markets strained New York

recovery in the past year, one of the continuing areas of malaise has been in the European currency markets, says The Bank of Nova Scotia in the latest issue of its Monthly Review This in turn has brought new' strains upon Europe’s so-called currency “snake’’ and on hopes for European economic integration in general All through the first half of this year, European exchange rates have fluctuated sharply, and currency realignments have been the largest since the breakdown of the fixed parity system in 1971-73.Although the six national leaders who met at the so-called summit meeting in Rambouillet, France last November had agreed upon coordinated central bank intervention in support of orderly exchange market conditions, they had not anticipated anything like the degree of strain that has actually emerged in the exchange markets since then The market pressures, in fact, were so great as to call for the extension of large special credits to both Italy and the United Kingdom.And when a second summit meeting was held in Puerto Rico in late June the question of what further stabilizing steps might be needed formed an important part of the agenda The Bank attributes the renewed bout of currency instability to the widely differing rates of inflation being experienced in different countries, a situation compounded in key cases by relatively disturbed or uncertain political conditions.The sharp weakness in the Italian lira has been largely due to domestic economic and political conditions.Although the decline in the pound sterling also is an obvious response to developments in the United Kingdom itself some favourable considerations -including strong increases in the volume of exports, a tighter incomes policy, and the increasing flow of North Sea oil - should help to provide a firmer basis for sterling in the period ahead Even though neither the pound nor the lira had been able for very long to conform to the fairly rigid structure of the European currency “snake”, their problems this year have obviously had serious implications for some of the remaining snake members.As throughout most of the history of the snake the Deutsche mark has remained relatively Expect domestic recovery Canadian investors are advised by a Toronto-based investment firm to prepare for a recovery on domestic markets “The initial impetus for Canadian stocks should come from momentum in the New York market,” Bab-son’s Canadian Reports Ltd says.“Clients are advised to position themselves now to take advantage of the expected upward move in stock prices in response to continued fundamental im provement in the North American economies ” A number of forces have been restraining an advance, the firm says in a current newsletter Thev include “the impact of anti-inflation board controls which have acted to weaken the confidence of the business community and the potential of the profit recovery.” But Babson’s says the difficulties are lessening ‘The domestic economy is being fuelled by rising exports with the United States, the chief market to date.” And further support will be forthcoming as the industrialized nations overseas gather strength from the recession.Babson's says TIGHTLY CONTROLLED “The upturn is being tightly controlled under the influence of restrictive monetary and fiscal policy and control program Lower wage increases

recorded increase since the end of 1973 according to a report issued by Labour Canada The 143 settlements during the second quarter produced average annual increases in base rates of 11.5 per cent in compounds terms The comparable figure for the first quarter of 1976 was 14 5 per cent The figures are based on an analysis of collective agreements covering 500 or more workers in industries (other than construction) within both the federal and provincial jurisdictions There were 89 settlements in the second quarter which were classified as one-year agreements, 35 were classified as two-year agreements, and 19 as three year classified as two-year agreements, and 19 as three-year agreements While the 143 agreements settled in the second quarter provided for average annual increases in base rates equal to 11.5 per cent, in one-year agreements it was 12 4 per cent In two-year agreements the annual average increase was 12 7 per cent for the first year and 84 per cent for the second year In three-year agreements it was 20 9 per cent for the first year.7 3 per cent for the second year and 5.2 per cent for the third year Of the 143 settlements during the second quarter of 1976.36 provided for a cost of living allowance ( COLA) ; and the average annual increase in base rates for these settlements was 10 1 per cent (excluding the effect of the COLA clause» The remaining 107 set tlements without a COLA clause provided for an average annual increase in the base rates of 12 6 per cent During the 12-month period ending with the 2nd quarter.1976, there were 470 major collective agreements settled These settlements provided for an average increase in base rates of 13.8 per cent Of the 470 settlements, 235 were classified as one-year agreements, 154 as two-year agreements and 81 as three year agreements.The 235 one-year agreements provided for an average annual increase in base rates of 15.7 per cent.The two-year agreements provided for increases of 16 8 per cent for the first year and 9.7 per cent for the second The three-year agreements provided for increases of 17 9 per cent in the first year.8.3 per cent in the second year and 4 9 per cent in the third year There were 133 settlements negotiated in the 12-month period ending with the 2nd quarter.1976 which provided for a COLA clause These 133 settlements provided for 119 per cent average annual increase in base rates (excluding the effect of the COLA clause), while the 337 settlements without a COLA clause provided for average annual increases of 14 9 per cent It should be noted that, where confirmed data was available, the settlement statistics shown above take into account the effect of rulings of the Anti-Inflation Board, and their subsequent ratification by the bargaining parties restraints, but appears to have a long way to run yet.“We remain positive on the market outlook and recommended that funds be fully committed with emphasis given to industry groups and companies which have the best profit potential under anti-inflation board controls.” These include the resource sector, utilities and companies which conduct the bulk of their business outside Canada “Exports are basically exempt from controls which indicates that this area has improved prospects over the next two years of the antiinflation program “W’e especially favor the senior mines where demand and prices should move up appreciably over the next 12 to 18 months.” In other sectors.Babson’s Reports recommends the purchase of Consumer’s Gas Co., Dominion Foundries and Steel Ltd (Dofasco), Imperial Oil Ltd and Westcoast Transmission Co.Ltd.WILL PERMIT INCREASE It says the recent rate decision will permit an increase in the rate of return to 10 1 per cent on a new rate base for Consumers’ Gas “The short-term gas supply situation has brightened with the recent growth in Western Canadian reserves and the stock appears to have discounted most of the adverse factors ' Dofasco has set new records in second quarter sales and in shipments of flat rolled products and “should experience satisfactory earnings growth.’’ Imperial Oil shares are recommended for longer-term recovery in light of continuing seismic work

shares “We regard the shares as attractive for income,” Babson s Reports says firm.But the Dutch guilder, the Belgian franc and the Danish kroner have all been unsettled, though retaining the formal linkage to the D-mark.The Franch franc, in turn, has had even greater difficulties, as the government has continued to be torn between the aims of integration and the pursuit of independent national policies In the summer of 1975 it has re-entered the snake at a level which failed to give adequate recognition to prevailing price trends; and this year, after talks about joint rate adjustments proved abortive, the franc has been allowed to float down below the lower intervention margin of the snake.The Review suggests that even though it might have* • been difficult to sustain the snake’s rigid relationships in the best of circumstances, there was virtually no chance of it at all in the kind of inflationary conditions that have actually developed in the past few years Thus, a major casualty has been the hopes once held for a gradual move towards full-fledged European monetary union, perhaps by as soon as 1980 The nine EEC members, in fact, have been having enough difficulty coping with their own immediate problems of inflation and unemployment without having to undertake major long-term currency commitments.And even more striking, perhaps, is the strain that recent exchange developments have placed on the Common Agricultural Policy, one of the main vehicles of European economic and monetary integration In its conclusion the Bank says there will at least have to be a breathing-period in which the European Community can at best hope to mark time And certainly any meaningful attempt at economic and monetary integration can only be made in a context that allows for unavoidable differences of national economic performance and that envisages a greater bending of national interests to the policy objectives of the EEC as a whole ment services and industry “Our council supports the decentralization policies of the provincial government Up to this past year, the city of Red Deer was in a bit of a drought situation We weren’t sharing in the growth of the province ” WILL CREATE STRAIN The mayor acknowledges that establishment of the new industry will create a strain on municipal services and some social problems will be generated with the influx of construction workers, but he’s confident the city will be able to cope with the situation Mr.Shaw said one-third of the jobs in the area are based on agriculture and “a bad year or two in grain affects our whole region ” With growth from the oil industry not expected to increase “we need another form of industry to promote growth .or at least stabilize it.” Replies to a 1974 planning commission questionnaire from residents in the commission’s area, which covers 105,000 persons, indicated a majority in favor of slow, steady growth based on clean industries and Mr Shaw thinks petrochemical plants fit into that category.Central Alberta could accommodate four or five derivative plants as long as there are strong environmental controls, he said.There are no plans at the present for any derivative plants in the region Du Pont of Canada Ltd.was going to construct a $150-million polyethylene plant six miles north of here but plans were shelved because of uncertain market conditions SETS OFF BOOM Mr Shaw said announcement of the Alberta Gas Ethylene proposal “definitely motivated a speculation boom ” Another problem will be that with the presence of so many construction workers “there is going to be drinking and drunken driving and fighting” during the construction period.“The RCMP is expecting drugs, prostitution and organized crime .Maybe it will only be minor, but in small centres that's quite a thing.” In the long run, the advantages of more and diversified industry “will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, but in the short term the disadvantages are very real and we have to realize they are disadvantages ” “When we talk about petrochemical plants I think we are talking much bigger than one plant,” says school teacher Mills.“I see the 1980s as a time of great expansion if this plant is successful.” He would prefer to see Alberta raise its prices for the natural resources needed to manufacture petrochemicals and “ship them (the * resources) to Ontario where they have the petrochemical industry already established ” “Red Deer is going to grow, no matter if that plant were cancelled today and there were no plans for another industry.We already have a large population servicing the agricultural community and what’s wrong with that?” Home Owners HOT WATER PROBLEMS?We fient* OIL FIRED WATER HEATERS For Less Than j

spoke at the Sherbrooke Rotary Club meeting yesterday, outlining the purpose of the Chamber “Businessmen should group together to form a common front,” said Beaudoin while explaining that presently there are many associations representing different kinds of businesses.Geaudoin added that the Chamber of Commerce is a valid representative of all businessmen.Another purpose of the Chamber is to protect and develop regional economic interests.Beaudoin stressed that the value of the Chamber of Commerce depends on what it does and the quality of the individual members and what they do.Beaudoin defended the profit motive of industry.“A misconception of profit can do great harm,” said Beaudoin.“Profits drive the economy.” Business and industry will only invest if they are sure of some kind of return as they can’t exist without profit.Beaudoin said that if a business is to expand, it must have additional profit to create more jobs.This in turn, produces tax revenue and other benefits for the locality.Beaudoin was critical of government involvement in small business.He felt that the purpose of a government was to provide leadership and planning but they should not try to perform economic functions that could be performed better by others Onesuccessiul project that was begun by the Chamber is the Bureau de Congres, which tries to attract conventions to the city.So far, 32 conventions are registered for the 1976-77 season.These are expected to generate over $2 million in in- vestments.The Bureau was formed several years ago after consultation between the city, Chamber and local restaurants and hotels.The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization and depends mainly on its membership to provide financing.1 « WwÊËÊÊA Gl EST SPEAKER — Gaston Beaudoin, a chartered

dispute SHERBROOKE (RM) — Employees of CKSH-TV channel nine, who have been locked out of their jobs by management, intend td petition the Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC) for a ruling on the five-week-old dispute.Andre Poulain, spokesman for the 19 workers who are members of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET), said yesterday preparations are currently underway to ask the com mission to intervene NABET has contended that the French-language outlet has not fulfilled its licence mandate Since the lockout began, the union adds, the station has not produced the required number of local and regional news programs Mr Poulain said it is not known whether or not the CRTC will decide to rule on the petition.The station’s licence was last renewed in March Earlier this week, St Francois Television, which owns CKSH-TV and is ow ned in turn by Trois-Rivieres businessman Henri Audet.said in a statement that the union has not been properly accredited by the Canadian Labor Relations Board and thus cannot serve as the bargaining agent for the employees It added that the union in any case has not been willing to negotiate a new contract, which would have been the first for the station which began operations in Sept., 1974 Mr Poulain replied to the accusations, saying that the CLRB has indeed acknowledged the union’s accredition on two occasions, and added that it has always been willing to talk with management.The producers, technicians, and other workers have since last summer been seeking their first collective agreement, to cover salaries and working conditions Up until the lockout began, technicians were earning $129 a week, significantly less than the broadcasting industry norm The workers are continuing a picket line in front of the King Street West studios, which remains boarded up and under sur veillance by armed security guards Broadcasting of mostly Radio-Canada programs is being handled by workers from a

authonzation from the Quebec Housing Corp for the project The meeting, between city officials and residents of the center and west ward sections affected is part of the six months' planning and two and a half years’ implementation of the project Phase Two aims at introducing more up-to-date and essential services to the generally aged quarter, and increasing the quality of the housing Among factors to be considered will be waterworks, streets and sidewalks, greenspaces, community centers and possible restoration of buildings Some $2 million dollars has been budgeted for * restoration, all but $700,000 of which is to come from the provincial and federal governments Information bulletins for the residents will be published regularly by the city, which is also moving its Urbanism Department offices to the heart of the quarter, at 350 Galt Street West, later this month.Once the department, which is responsible for the project, completes its plans, they will be presented to city

studies on the social and technical aspects of the sector, waterworks, lighting, streets and fire protection.Adult education courses offered LENNOXVILLE (NF) -Schools aren’t just for kids.That is the message from Doug Grant, Adult Education co-ordinator for the Eastern Townships Regional School Board “We’ve been offering adult education courses since 1969 and they’ve proven to be very popular and successful,” said Mr.Grant recently.“This year were offering trade courses, agricultural courses, French conversation courses and what might best be called recreational courses.” Trade courses are open to “working adults over the age of 16 who have not attended regular day school during the last 12 months.” They are being given in a variety of areas: blueprint reading, machine shop, bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, management, accounting and business math among others.“Also for the first time this year we’re offering a course in gas and electric welding,” continued Mr.Grant.The purpose of the courses is to give people an opportunity to upgrade themselves In fact, to be eligible to take a trade course a person must hold down a job in a field related to the course.Trade courses are government sponsored and are free to people who meet the criteria.“In November and again in January we’ll be offering full time agricultural courses,” mentioned the ETRSB spokesman.“Farmers taking courses under this program are eligible to receive allowances from Canada Manpower,’’ Mr.Grant continued The courses themselves are given free of charge and cover a wide scope of agriculture related fields: maple sugaring, farm building and maintenance, and herd improvement among others While trade and agricultural courses are free, French conversation and recreational courses are not.The costs however are minimal “A student pays $30 for 90 hours of instruction in French conversation,” Doug Grant said, “and for a recreational course the cost is $10 for 30 hours Students also cover the cost of any materials they use during the recreational courses.” Art, woodworking, sewing, and crafts are some of the courses that people can take In addition to these courses, many of the schools of the ETRSB throughout the area will be opening their gymnasium doors once or twice a week to citizens interested in physical fitness programs A physical education teacher is always on hand to lead the class through exercises, calisthenics and a bit of jogging Then for the duration of the class everybody gets involved with basketball or volleyball or badminton or some other sport.To let the public know of these programs the ETRSB has sent a brochure with a registration form to every English-speaking household in the area served by the ETRSB “The forms were mailed out this week so people will be receiving them some time this week,” said Doug Grant.Should anybody not receive a form or should anybody need further information they can contact Canada

invention is then defined as any new and useful process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter or any new and useful improvement thereof, and which shows inventive ingenuity A patent is effective for 17 years from the date on which it is issued and once issued, it remains in effect for this period without the payment of any additional fees It must also be noted that in the Patent Act, there is no provision to extend patents beyond the seventeen year term and after a Canadian patent has expired, anyone may make, use or sell the invention in Canada provided they do not infringe other patents A Canadian patent does not protect an invention in foreign count ries; protection in foreign countries can only be secured by obtaining patents in such countries Also foreign patents does not protect an invention in Canada unless it is protected by a Canadian patent.A Canadian patent is obtained by making a proper application to the Commissioner of Patents, Ottawa, KlA 0E1 Canada The application will be examined to determine if it is patentable However, as the preparation and prosecution of patent applications is quite complex it is recommended that inventors consult a Patent Agent trained in this specialized practice and registered to practice before the Canadian Patent Office to do this work.A list of Registered Agents living in any particular region of Canada may be obtained free of charge by writing to the Commissioner of Patents Unregistered Agents frequently advertise their service, but they are not authorized to practice before the Canadian Patent Office.They are not subject to Patent Office discipline, and the Office cannot help inventors in dealing with them.When filing patent application a formal request, a condensation of the technical content, a

expressing an opinion on an invention until a formal application is filed A Registered Patent Agent should be consulted.If an inventor has not yet completed his invention, and is concerned that others might patent it, he may file with the Patent Office a description of the invention in so far as it has been developed The document filed is known as a caveat The caveator will be informed if any one else files a application to patent the same invention in the year immediately following the filing of the caveat.The caveat may also have some value in proving when the invention was made However, a caveat does not give the inventor any right to exclude others from using the invention It is not until the inventor has filed an application for patent and been granted a patent that he is entitled to

Editor LENO DONNELL Directors Conrad M Black.F David Radier Peter G White Tel 569 9525 McCarthy: tilting at elusive windmills Letter to the Editor The long march The long march of Italian Communists towards power is slow ly approaching its goal The new Italian government of Premier Giulio Andreotti can function only at the Communists’ pleasure, and deals have already been consummated to give the Communist party an important say in the government s political program Power is to be exercised by the Communists through parliament, which is to be accorded a new importance.Here the Communists have secured the presidency (speakership) of the lower house and the chairmanship of seven important commit tees of both houses Although the Communists remain outside the government, yet they have vetoed the appointment of several ( hristian Democratic ministers Since the minority Chris tian Democratic cabinet depends on Communist absten tion from a vote of non confidence, Mr Andreotti in selecting his cabinet had to bow to the Communist party’s wishes.The Communist party thus wields substantial power without sharing responsibility for the government’s actions Indeed, it has been rumored in Home that the Communists still fear the possibility of a split within the Christian Democratic party that would then force them to assume the government and bear the blame for the unpopular measures the government will have to take to repair the damage inflicted upon the economy by the Communist dominated unions.Poised within the parliamen tary committees, from which they will have the oppor (unity to pack important administrative posts with Communist sympathizers, the party of Enrico Berlinguer is thus ready, at a time of its own choosing, to take over this key Western nation that, geographically, culturally and strategically, dominates Western Europe.True, Enrico Berlinguer has been at the pains of allaying all fears of a Communist take over by presenting his party as something akin to social democracy, almost to tin* right of Germany's social-democratic chancellor.Helmut Schmidt But even the most serene of optimists must admit that Mr Berlinguer’s party is a coalition of two parties: Of the reformist wing of Mr Berlinguer, and the hard Leninist core that has remained in the back ground waiting to see whether Mr.Berlinguer’s tactics of reaching power through the ballot box w ill prove successful.Nor can one argue that the party is wholly independent of Moscow: Financially, it relies to a large extent on Soviet subsidies (that are considerably larger than American subsidies paid in the past to Italy’s democratic parties transactions that so scandalized the innoncents in Washington).Moreover.Mr Berlinguer’s presence at the Berlin Communist conference shows that, whatever his differences with the Warsaw Pact, basic Communist solidarity has remained.The Berlin declaration, to w hich Mr Berlinguer appended his signature, condemns “the maintenance of foreign military bases and foreign armed forces on the territory of other states, and imperialist pressure and interference in internal affairs,” thus subscribing to Moscow’s double standard: The presence of Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany is not “foreign” and does not present interference in internal affairs.(In view of the campaign now afoot within the Soviet bloc, advocating the adoption of a single Soviet nationality tor all members of the “socialist community,” Soviet troops abroad may indeed no longer count as foreign ) Mr Berlinguer is portrayed as favoring NATO, yet the Berlin Declaration contained a sharp attack on the Atlantic alliance And.lastly, the venue of the Communist con ference.in the most oppressive of all the Communist countries, in that monstrous creature of Soviet bayonets that is East Germany, speaks for itself What remains inexplicable is the strange attitude of Italy’s minor non Communist parties that have refused to join the Christian Democrats in a non Marxist coalition One is not surprised at the behavior of the Socialists, w ho were never quite sure where their loyalties lie — in Moscow that had awarded the Lenin Prize to the Socialist leader Pietro Nenni; or with true social democracy.How ever, the small Social Democratic Party had split off from the Socialists because of the latter’s pro-Communist policies, and yet the Social Democrats have now been instrumental in letting the Communists in.as have the Republicans, a lay party of free enterprise.The demoralization of the minor parties after their crushing defeat resulting from the polarization of votes, between Chris tian Democrats and Communists, at the last election can hardly excuse this utter disregard of modern history, which threatens to repeat itself as a tragedy, rather than a farce.WINNIPEG FREE PRESS BrNFA London Econom*») WASHINGTON - (LENS) The specter of Eugene McCarthy, former senator .ex-Dernocrat and now independent candidate for the presidency, appeared at the Democratic convention in the form of a poll suggesting he could win 5-10 per cent of the vote in November That is nothing compared with McCarthy s strength when he posed a mortal threat to President Johnson in 1%8.but it was enough to cause alarm Carter's camp is.or was.worried by the shallowness of his support among liberals Should they begin to drift away.McCarthy would be an obvious pole of attraction Almost all his votes would be subtracted from Carter’s total and if there were a close race with the Republicans for the large northern states, such a margin could make the difference Justified or not.these fears were strong enough to provide the liberals on Carter s staff, or rather those members of it anxious to placate the liberals in the party at large, with an argument for fucking Senator Walter Mondale as the vice-presidential nominee For in fluencing Carter’s final choice, however indirectly.McCarthy can take a degree of credit It does not help his own solitary struggle He is on the ballot in only seven states, although he is ready to be certified in 20 more and looks forward to inclusion in 40-45 by the time of the election Even should he reach that target, the Carter-Mondale ticket for the Democrats cannot have brightened his prospects Electoral laws do not make life easy for third parties He will not get public financing until after the election and then only if he gets more than 5 per cent of the vote Many states, he complains, block attempts to put his name on the presidential ballot All told the McCarthy campaign has (ought or is fighting 15 legal challenges to such obstruction There have been, he says, no attempts to woo him back into the Democratic fold or pressure to quit his independent campaign He has cut his ties with the party so fully that there are few messengers to him left His bittersweet tongue still has words, though, for the present crowd Of Gov Carter’s foreign policy ad- visers such as Zbigniew

carried banner headlines announcing that Bourassa had definitely stated that he would not call a provincial election for this fall.The only thing that surprised me about the story was that it wasn’t buried as a brief on one of the back pages.How can Bourassa’s not calling an election possibly be considered as news, let alone surprising news?The fact is that as long as he is in power (1978) Bourassa need not call an election And being a politician (I use the word in its most derogatory sense) he will certainly not call an election because three quarters of the electorate is promisers The unity of the party is a sham in his view < arter.he predicts would be as arrogant in the use of power as past presidents McCarthy s c i e n c e Democrats doubts Few is a bad con-tor liberal Many share

parties are screaming for one or because the province needs one No, Bourassa will call an election when he feels he has the greatest chance of increasing his majority in the Legislative Assembly.Barring that he will sit on his throne until 1978 The second seems the more likely of the two possibilities Although the Olympic Games have left a vague, pinkish glow around the premier’s glasses the fact remains that half the labour force is involved in some sort of labour dispute — plumbers, electricians and carpenters are fast approaching a strike date, teachers may not be back in school in September, nurses have only just been legislated back to work, medical doctors and veterinarians are pointing to long hours and a wage scale which dates back five years or more Furthermore farmers are up in arms and the English vote has been straining at the bit for two years now to repeal Bill 22.With the exception of big business and the handful of people who made a bundle on the Olympics, Bourassa has very few fans in the province.And since elections are still won by votes it’s impossible to conceive Bourassa calling an election before he finds a way of appeasing a very great number of very upset people.Government doesn t heed people's wishes To the Editor: President Abraham Lincoln in his famous Gettysburg address on Nov.19.1863 said in part “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and the government of the people, by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth ’’ What a noble conception of what a government should be, and how foreign it is to the views of our own political leaders during the past few years! We can all recall that when the heated controversy over the Flag issue was at its height that newspaper polls on the issue were conducted from coast to coast, which revealed the fact that the country was overwhelming in favor of retaining the Canadian Red Ensign as our national flag This verdict as 1 understand it, was “by the people for the people ’’ But did the Prime Minister of the day pay any attention to the expressed will of the people?No, instead of this, the late Prime Minister Pearson refused to allow a plebiscite, or referendum, on the question, and, instead, substituted closure on the debate and forced a new design of a national emblem for our country.Now we have a flag which the government of the day insists must be respected and honored.Almost the same highhanded procedure has been followed by the Trudeau administration in regards to the death penalty for those found guilty of the murder of policemen and prison guards (apparently the murder of those in other walks of life, such as clergymen and leaders in our business and social worlds are not considered as being of much consequence).Here, once more, we saw public opinion strongly in favor of retaining the noose, supported almost unani- mously in this decision by policemen and prison guards throughout the country However, instead of being guided by the will of the people.Parliament by the slim — very slim majority of six — decided to abolish the death penalty and plans, we understand, are being formulated to build maximum security prisons at a great expense to prevent the escape of those who have already been proven guilty of the laws of God and man.But who will serve as guards in such an uncertain atmosphere as that prevailing in these maximum security prisons, when the guards know, and the prisoners know, that another murder, at several of them, will not add one iota to the severity, or extension of the sentence which they are already serving for a previous crime of that nature.Would it not be reasonable for these guards to ask those who framed the bill bringing into effect such dangerous legislation to come to their aid?Why not invite Prime Minister Trudeau, his cabinet ministers and all members of the House who voted for the abolition of the death penalty to act, in relays, as guards during their long vacations spent skiing on distant slopes, or basking in the sun on the sands of some island in the Caribbean9 Such a move on their part would prove that they really abhor capital punishment, and that they are willing to face the dangers for a short time which others are obliged to endure for month after month as the result of the legislation they passed If this challenge were accepted, don’t you think, kind reader, that the legendary haste and clamor to rush important business through the House before prorogera-tion for the vacation period would come to an abrupt end, and then we might see the vision of President Lincoln exemplified in this Dominion?Thank

Ex-President Richard Nixons infamous plumbers, so named because of their efforts to plug White House news leaks, wound % up their nefarious works with an investigation of congressional leaks Their purpe was to embarrass Nixon’s detractors by portraying them as security risks Instead, the plumbers found Wash mgton so porous that they couldn’t sort out all of the leaks It was "difficult to prove,” reported one of their investigators, that any given "leak came from the Hill ” The plumbers’ secret findings have a special significance today in light of all the excitement on Capitol Hill over leaks The House Ethics Committee, suddenly more concerned about leaks than ethics, has invested $150,000 to find out who leaked a House report to CBS newsman Dan Schorr Earlier, tin* committee stopped short of condemning Rep Michael Harrington.IV Mass.for an alleged leak And now the Justice Department ls investigating Rep Robert UwetL D Calif., for allegedly leaking clarified information to the South Koreans All tins has got investigators chasing in diTTYing circles For Washington ls a Yellowstone of leaks, bubbling here, spouting there, spraying out suppressed information The White House plumbers discovered three years ago that government informa non channels would spring leaks faster than anyone could plug them The plumbers started out to investigate the leaks on Capitol Hill Chief plumber David Young sought the help of the Pentagon He contacted Fred Buzhardt.then the Defense Department’s general counsel, who assigned Pentagon investigator W Donald Stewart to ferret out the security rusks in Congress Stew art reported hack on Feb 13 1973.that Capitol Hill was a sieve but that many of the leaks originated in the dowmtown :: government agencies, including the Pen •’ tag on and the White House t Jack Anderson’s • O ic' Wash in «ion /?c On the Hill, he found classified docu ments stored in ordinary cabinets, transmitted without the regulation double envelopes and scattered around offices for any visitor to see The Secretary of Defense hasn’t given adequate instructions.Stewart suggested, "detailing what can be given or cannot he given to members of Congress or the pnv cedar es for transmitting classified documents” No central index was kept at the Pentagon.he added, to show what classified information had been distributed to congressional offices .As a result, the military brass had no idea what classified data was loose» on the Hill Stewart found that government agencies often shower congressmen with classified information they don t want “Many situations arise'.’’ he reported, "where members of Congress desire to dump unwanted classified material on military liaison officers on Capitol Hill ” In a lengthy memo.Stewart cited a number of lax security practices in Senate offices But invariably, he found that leaks had their beginning in the State l>epart ment.Defense* Department or White House* For example, he invcstigatc*d a New York

listening to talk describing the elderly, the word I hate is “docile ” The next most sickening word is passive ' Many social workers who treat us as cases are guilty of using those words So are many senior citizens club directors who share this guilt Add a goodly number of professionals and employes in departments of the aging Don’t forget to include your own adult sons and daughters Where the shoe fits, admit physicians into the club Put yourself in the group if you belong there Words, really, indicate attitudes A group of institutional workers were ask ed to provide words applicable to the seniors with whom they deal They came up with negative expressions only Seniors likewise verbalized in phrases which were, in effect, putdowns of our age group We have these dismal facts from Rosemary K Judge of the California Department of Health, an expert on the “put-down syndrome She travels to universities and organizational meetings throughout the country conducting workshops on “assertiveness training for senior citizens and for those who work professionally among us Judge led the workshop in Assertiveness Training for Older Adults at Adelphi University in Garden City, N Y .“Anywhere in the country where we do the exercise,’’ Judge says, professionals reveal a negative mind set' toward the persons they’re serving Ask them to describe the people they're supposed to help They always come up with words like confused, depressed.' over-dependent This actually destroys the very strength, the inner courage and selfesteem which seniors need to keep them going It’s especially heartening to know that Adelphi University has joined in this effort to raise our own sense of worth Adelphi s School of Social Work is recognized as one of the most progressive such schools internationally In this instance we seniors ourselves STANSTEAD - Mrs Lillian Boucher of Stanstead was 80 years young on Thursday, August 5 and this was celebrated on her an niversary the preceding Sunday Sunday she was invited to the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Dean and Lucille King in Island Pond Marion, a daughter, who resides with her and others went along Later it was suggested they go for dinner at the Buck and Doe Restaurant On arriving Mrs Boucher was pleasantly surprised to find a family gathering including Mr and Mrs John Boucher and Chris, Rock Island, Mr and Mrs Roland Debeau, Rutland, Vt., Mr.and Mrs Albert Guillette, Island Pond, Mr and Mrs Bruhmuller, Cowansville, the Kings, and Marion, making three generations seated together at a table The dessert included the traditional candlelit cake with all joining to sing The Birthday Song Gifts of money were presented to their mother and grandmother and many good wishes extended After the dinner all gathered at the residence of the Kings for a social period of chatting for Lil, as she is familiarly known, can recall many events of the past Wednesday Mrs.King came to visit her and brought a gift of lovely orange and blue garden flowers and the gift of a china ornament.The flowers were used to decorate the home for Thursday when friends from Christ Church ACW-Guild dropped in to wish the celebrant “many happy returns as a surprise to Mrs Boucher All were warmly welcomed by the celebrant and when all had gathered Miss Debora Middleton presented her with a corsage of multicolor carnations and gold ribbons Debora also presented a purple blooming African violet and Mrs Nellie Kezar, a large basket of fruits, from friends The refreshments served included assorted cookies with tea Mrs Kezar brought in the birthday cake she had made and decorated with light green on white en-scrihed, “Happy Birthday, Lil”.The cake was further decorated by two candles in the figures “80” made by Mrs Edward Hyatt, The cake was served with ice cream Mrs Boucher thanked everyone for the delightful afternoon and said, ‘if I had known you were coming I would have dressed up” but she looked very pretty in her summer frock With her guests she recalled several incidents of past years, many being humorous that kept everyone chuckling The party was arranged by^ Mrs Kezar, Mrs Middleton and Miss Marion Boucher to make it a surprise They were assisted by others All of Mrs Boucher’s many fnends join to wish her many more happy events as those of the past days She was also the recipient of many

can be in your own family, or just inside your own head, wherever you live, even at home Judge is a registered nurse who trained more than 500 health workers last year She pulls no punches “Part of the problem is that staffers in and out of institutions are as chronic as those they serve If seniors are caught in the trap of dependency, if they are to assert themselves, it’s the in stitutional workers who are the bars in that trap.” One test at the Adelphi sessions was particularly revealing Those taking the course were asked to think of positive words to describe seniors they know It was hard for them to do so They became anxious and unsure In a dramatic test.Judge distributed a sheet of 18 value words to be numbered in the order of most importance to each person in the group Those present tended to put universal values such as peace.equality and brotherhood’’ at the top of the list Then she asked the group to take a fantasy trip “Imagine yourself 10.20 or 30 years from now Imagine yourself physically, emotionally and mentally handicapped.having suffered the loss of a spouse, without a home, without friends Without looking at your first list of value priorities number the list from one to 18 again ' As Goldman described it We witnessed a startling sight right in front of our eyes What happened was that iden tifying themselves as older people changed their values from a global to a self-centered new set of values One man who had put personal values, such as comfortable life, self-respect, and inner harmony at the bottom of the list the first time, put them at the very top in his fantasy trip list This kind of shift made it possible to understand the self-centeredness of seniors that workers complain about.” Encouraging seniors to see themselves as lonely, sad.helpless, chronic.Judge said focuses people on their non functioning parts That s like watering weeds We should work with the well parts of people We should water the flowers, not the weeds

Although peaches and other fruits are not yet sold by the gram or kilogram, there’s no reason why you can’t freeze them the metric way All you need is a 250 ml measuring cup to measure the volume of

color- ways are used on floor, bath and walls to enhance the classical effect.Solve decorating problems reserved candle in the center — L V One of the two most difficult rooms in the house ( the other is the kitchen) to give a new look to is the bathroom.The reason is the same in both cases — repèaeing major equipment or appliances can be expensive.\I1 Round C hanges So what can one do .to smarten up a bathroom that is beginning to look drab?One answer is a change of patterns*, textures and colours ‘Indeed, you can even change the colour of the major appliances by means of a long lasting resurfacing process.White is the cheapest to do; the colours are mainly pastels plus one deeper shade of avocado On the floor, new tiles - or perhaps a new carpet - can make a big difference Latest on the tile front comes vinyl tiles which realistically simulate the look of marble, cobblestone, brick or provençal tiles.The self adhesive tiles are lightly textured — embossed would be a more accurate word - with marble like veining and are made in various shades of bronze, cream, gold and yellow Sheet Flooring In a family bathroom, where drips and splashes are more likely, sheet flooring may be preferable For real luxury there is a carpet, specially designed for bathrooms, that you can cut to size with a pair of scissors It has a rubber backing, is made of 12 colours, and you can wash it in a washing machine If you choose a flooring that is cheap enough you can often use it for a matching bath panel, bath surround — or indeed cover the walls.Stick On Tiles Sometimes the problem is an existing tiled wall that is dull The answer here is stick on adhesive tiles Sellotape tile prints are made from flexible PVC with a peel off backing, and in position they look remarkably like the real thing.They are steamproof, washable and long lasting For untiled walls, what about a pretty new paper0 Again, vinyls are very suitable with their tough, hard wearing washable qualities Subtle Colours Sometimes it is simply a question of the same pattern being printed to a different scale; sometimes there are several patterns, or one of them has been evolved as a border print (this can also make cut outs for door frames or windows).The colours, among them terracotta and hyacinth, are strong and subtle A new blind can also do a lot to “lift” a room.The cheapest, of course, are the do-it-yourself ones — and there are more of these around.Movable Extras After the decoration, there are the “movable extras”.Chief among these are probably towels and bath-mats Today there are towels of all sorts, from the plain coloured, big, soft, fluffly bath sheets (still to my mind the nicest), to heavily patterned jacquard, or velvety sheared ones.Finally, there are the “bits and pieces”.Glass jars full of soap (this helps to preserve the soap as well as looking pretty); pot plants which will thrive in the steamy atmosphere; little shell boxes made by the children after a seaside holiday; and attractive bottles for toilet gear Soap that hangs from a string or can be magnetised to the side of the bath helps to avoid a stick mess - if you haven’t got a pretty, efficient soap dish Even old taps can be given a new lease of life with replaceable heads, made of crystal like plastics which never heat or fur in use Ann Landers says: Habit has deep-seated cause Dear \nn

not-too-distant past, the railroad was the bustling focal point of most Prairie towns—the place of political and social gatherings, the place of sending and receiving messages, the place where the kids played ball so as not to miss the excitement, if there was any Now with the railways fighting to hold their own among more glamorous modes of transport, railway installations on the Prairies often are symbols of deterioration Many of the old stations are in need of paint; other railroad buildings have been abandoned and gutted still others converted into granaries, auction marts, restaurants and ski lodges Bill Brownridge, a 44-year-old commercial artist and architectural illustrator, set out in the summer of 1975 to capture with his art the often crumbling railroad landmarks in the backstretches of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba He travelled to more than 500 towns and talked to railroad officials wherever he could find them He estimates that he covered 13,000 miles in his journeys This fall at a number of western centres a senes of paintings and sketches—the record of Mr Brownndge s odyssey—will go on display ‘it was a haunting, personal expenence travelling through the Prairies in search of the forgotten men and places,” Mr Brownndge said in an interview, ‘‘a wrenching moment standing in front of the buildings that we as a family had lived in, overgrown with weeds, inhabited by birds and skunks ‘‘I knew it in a totally different way: as the cornerstone of life on the Prairies Now, even the billboards are more important, symbols of progress and life.” Mr.Brownridge was funded by a Canadian Council Explorations grant in addition to his visual survey of railroad buildings, he sketched the men who made their living with the railroad—the old-time stationmasters, conductors, operators and engineers— and did interviews “Whatever you do, you should do something that’s close to your roots.I was thrilled at the chance to work on a theme which has been in the back of my mind for years and which I lived very close to when growing up on the Praines ” Mr Brownridge said it be cornea personal challenge to regain, if only for a moment, the creative free spirit he set aside in the pursuit of making a living Former farmer specializes in BRENT KNOLL, England (CP) — A chronic case of as thma forced farmer Don Slater to look for a quieter life He found it making wooden dolls’-house furniture for children— and collector’s items for adults The 41-year-old Slater lives in this Somerset village working wifh beech, teak, oak and walnut, supplying a market which covers most of the world, but particularly Canada, the United States, mainland Europe and Australia “I started making toys such as hobby horses and slowly evolved a design for dolls’-house furniture in the English-cottage style,” he said in an interview.“I made it chunky, without any frills because 1 want the children to have something which although carefully made and designed was tough They could throw this against a wall and it wouldn’t break.1 was fed up with the flimsy toys my children had which were usually broken within 24 hours.” The dolls’-house furniture, called Folk Toys, is made on a one-sixteenth scale and the range includes refectory tables with tenon-and-peg joints, chairs, settees, three-legged stools, dressing tables with unbreakable mirrors and a double bed complete with handwoven bed spread and floor rug SAFE FOR KIDS The toys have no paint or varnish, so babies can suck them safely and older children can paint them in their own colors Don is a member of the British Toy Manufacturers’ Association and his toys have been selected by the Design Centre in London Everything he makes is tested and approved (or occasionally rejected) by his four children, Amanda, 9, Emma, 7, Joseph, 5, and Rebecca, 3.Although handmade, the toys are competitively priced with small sets, such as a kitchen suite, costing about LI ($2).But even at that price Don has found that many parents feel his furniture is too good for the children and have been collecting it themselves.Slowly he has realized that there is a growing interest among adults in miniature furniture and in the U S it is the biggest collectors’ hobby after stamps and coins To meet this demand in a field where serious collectors regard expense as no object, he has recently started making miniature reproduction antique furniture on a scale one-twelfth of normal size “Following a review of my work in an American magazine for dolls’-house furniture collectors, I had a lot of inquiries from the U.s and Canada,” he said “Collectors seem to want English hand-made furniture ” NEED CAREFUL WORK Unlike the Folk Toys, which can be mass-produced to an extent, the antiques— Folk Furniture—require painstaking craftsmanship “First of all I have to research the item of furniture either by visiting museums or, more frequently, from antique books to discover what wood was used at the given period and ensure that the design is accurately reproduced,” said Don.“Most of the furniture for which I have had requests, again from the U.S.in particular, is 17th-and 18th- wooden century stuff, frequently in the Chippendale style—the sort of furniture Americans might have seen in some of their older houses ” ‘ The next job is to find the nght wood.Where possible I like to use reconstituted wood from old furniture which gives the article a more authentic look.Then I work just as the makers of the original model worked, hand-turning and carving the decorative parts and using traditional methods for the joints.The final problem is giving it the right ^ort of finish.I experiment with many stains and polishes before I am happy.” TAKES TIME PAINTED ON SITE “Something happens when you paint on site—you get involved in the subject, its environment and atmosphere This was never clearer to me than when I painted the old station where we lived in the 1940s “I wish I had been more aware in those days of the wealth of history and beauty around me The conductors, brakemen, draymen The crowded passenger trains, the milling stockyards, the night freight, the staccato telegraph key, the swirl of toys All this takes a lot of time so the finished article may cost anything up to L100, especially if it is a special commission Don was surprised at” first that there should be such a craze for his small models.“I think people enjoy playing Gulliver in a Lilliputian world,” he said.“With dolls’ houses and furniture they can create their own dream house, furnishing it and decorating it as extravagently as they like and changing the period and style whenever they wish It is the sort of thing they might like to do with their own homes but could not afford.” activity which shaped the life of the community." Mr Brownridge was born in Rosetown, Sask.His father was a station agent “The railway station was the centre of town, where everyone gathered It was the place where you heard the messages of deaths, births and weddings “One of the most memorable occurrences involved the Friday night winter trains, filled with people, returning from the city where the day had been spent shopping, doing business or some serious drinking Every imaginable character would be on board: laborers, dowagers, priests, children, immigrants, Indians, businessmen As the coal stoves reached a fiery red in each car, and the cadence of the wheels became a roar, a mouth organ would strike up a tune.Strangers would smile at each other.The winter train was heading home “When I was living there my dreams, thoughts and early drawings were of airplanes, the new technology of the cities and the heroics of the war and faraway places But now I see the tremendous vitality of the steam era.” BEGAN AT 10 Mr.Brownridge’s first formal art training was at age 10 when he took correspondence courses from Regina Then he went to Calgary and the Alberta Institute of Technology and Art.now the Alberta College of Art, where he studied under many well-known Western Canadian artists such as Illingworth Kerr, Stan Blodgett, Marion Nicoll, Stan Perrot and Ken Sturdy He has had showings in the West of his landscape, hockey players, horses and images of growing up on the Prairies The longer I paint, the more sure I become of how much I owe to the Prairies We are all, subtly but profoundly, shaped by our natural geography.“When I first began this project, I was hesitant and overwhelmed by the immense distance to be covered, the logistics of continuously working on the move—what to paint, what to leave out.“The technique I used evolved from experience.I experimented with acrylic, textures and glazes.I wanted to do something with that paint, as I’ve always been an admirer of sensuous paint quality.“Gradually, I put my small brushes to one side; slowly, I became freer and more responsive.” Experts prefer four-day weekend MANCHESTER, England ( CP ) — A 10-day working period followed by a four-day break is recommended by Dr Donald McGregor, who has studied industrial patterns over a period of 15 years He believes longer work periods would cut absenteeism caused by sickness and would boost the output from British factories “Illness now costs British industry 50 times more hours lost than strikes,” Dr McGregor said in an interview.“I believe 10 active days followed by a four-day rest period would reduce sickness “It seems men are more likely to go sick during their first day back at work after a break The lowest number of people go sick at the end of a working week, just before the start of a relaxation period ” Every year more than 300 million working days are lost through official sickness, backed by sick notes from doctors Last year strikes and stoppages cost British industry a mere fraction of that figure— six million working days.NOT INCLUDED And the sickness figures do not include the enormous amount of time lost through workers going sick for a day or two without being required to produce a doctor’s certificate Dr McGregor says his 10-day working period could be introduced without any MU Miss Frances Macdonald spent the week-end with Miss Mary MacLeod and Mr and Mrs George Macdonald Miss MacLeod accompanied her back to Sherbrooke, and spent a few days with Miss Inez Nicholson in Len-noxville Rev Mr.D.Gillies of Vancouver, visited in the area and was a dinner guest of Mr and Mrs Duncan McLeod and they were supper guests of Mr and Mrs David Nicholson, Mrs Dale Farrell and Sean They visited Mrs J J MacDonald and Mr Angus MacDonald later Mr and Mrs Duncan McLeod, Mrs David Nicholson, Mrs.D Nicholson, Mrs D Farrell and Sean saw Rev Mr Donald Gillies, of Vancouver.to the Autobus in Sherbrooke, on his trip down East prior to his trip to Scotland when he will be joined by Mrs Gillies They also visited Mr and Mrs H Turner and Miss Inez change in the law But would it work?Industrial psychologist Robert Sargeant said: “The idea of working solid blocks of time in return for solid blocks of time off is attractive.But it all depends on the type of industry involved.“In industries involving safety and quality, fatigue would soon begin to show in the latter part df a 10-day session And there is one area where a 10-day week would never work—and that is where people are on permanent night shift.“Five nights in succession are enough for any man.” Said research worker Alison Mitchell : “The reason attendance is better at the end of the working week is because most people are paid then There is no way of predicting when people are going to be sick.” Britain’s bosses are divided on the 10-day work period They say the biggest change so far has been the move away from the standard 9-to-5 working day.Some firms now stagger the starting and finishing times for their staffs Paul Roots, employee-relations director at a large motor plant, said the problem is to match workers’ demands for a shorter week with industry’s attempts to get fuller use from plant and equipment “I doubt very much» whether 10 consecutive days at work would be acceptable to our employees,” he said AN Nicholson in Lennoxville Mrs Herbert Mayhew of Lennoxville and Miss Elizabeth Roy, of Ormstown, were in town one day recently.Mrs Margaret Bennett Knight and Martyn accompanied them back to Lennoxville for a few days Mr George Smelch, of Albany, N Y has joined his wife.Sharon, for a holiday Mr Allen Gillies of Ottawa Ont.has been a visitor in the area Friends will be interested to know that Mr Henry Mouland has moved to his son Brian’s home in Scot-stown, all extend best wishes to him Miss Mary MacLeod returned home with Miss Frances Macdonald, of Sherbrooke, who remained overnight Mr and Mrs D.L.McLeod visited in Clifton on Sunday evening Mr T Boonstra held a Sunday morning service in Bethany Church Loin Steaks “Overall prices at low or lower other major SPECIAL!

at the lovely farm of Mr and Mrs Donald Coates near Lennoxville It had been postponed from the previous Sunday because of rain There were approximately 150 people attending, ranging in age from small babies to senior retired Jersey farmers John Ross, the provincial president ; Robert W Simp son.secretary and fieldman; and Sam Pollock, manager of the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, were among those present as well as Hugh Macdonald, president of the County Club and members of his executive.The official welcome was given by Mrs Coates in English and Mrs Lawrence Taylor in French There were hay wagons drawn by tractors to give the visitors a view of the Coates farm Visits were made to the dairy barns where the bull and calves were stabled ( >ther Jerseys were in nearby pastures The farm carries 120 head of purebred Jerseys The club provided hot dogs cooked over the barbeque by Leslie Bliss and rolls toasted by Sam Macdonald.Chips and other goodies were served buffet style from a table on the lawn Hugh Macdonald was kept busy making fruit punch in the bowls on another table.Many brought their basket lunch with them Then came the ice cream and squares also provided by the club and some of the ladies.Four of the Jerseys from the Coates herd were brought out to the lawn Comments regarding their classification from first to fourth were spoken by Alex McKinven, Andre Brus, Mrs E Johann.Sam Pollock.John Ross.Alastair McKinven, Leslie Bliss, Hugh Macdonald and Mr.Simp son The udder, the primary factor in a dairy cow.the hips, shoulders and so forth were discussed Afterward.Mrs Coates, who had been follow ing very closely the com ments gave the true facts of the four cows judged and proved the judges “know their Jerseys.” Mrs Coates’ re port gave the production of the four at different ages, the butterfat content, parentage and so forth Mr Simpson took several pictures of the gathering and some of the Jerseys.jerseys will be a part of all the country fairs this sum mer and fall from early August until the last one at Rich mond in September.Mr.Simpson advised a “good show” and predicted Jerseys will hold their own in competition with other dairy breeds.The history of the Jersey is an interesting one The breed originated and takes its name from the Island of Jersev.one of the Channel islands in the English Channel.B> IVY II \TCTI ( Record ( orrcspondcni ) This island of about 65 square miles has a population of about ten thousand cattle All are Jerseys and have been protected by law from the importation of living cattle of any breed, since 1763 except those for immediate slaugh ter Jerseys were first imported to Canada in 1868 and con sisted of a herd of 15 females and two bulls which became the nucleus of what was to develop into the celebrated St Lambert herd purchased by Harrison Stephens of Mont real and his two sons / üiÆFT In 1881.Valancy Fuller of Hamilton.Ont a keen Jersey enthusiast, founded a herd on the St Lambert blood lint's, acquiring the noted Mary Anne of St Lambert and her sire.Stoke Pogis 3rd It is said that Mr Fuller refused $26.000 for the cow This is a fantastic price even w ith today’s inflationary prices The first importation of 15 females and two bulls came from the Royal Herd at Wind sor, England Since then, although some importations have come from England, most have been from the Island of Jersey Before Canada began these imports, many individuals and small groups brought them in from the United States where the breed had become firmly established, espe cially along the eastern seaboard The Jersey Breeders of Canada was organized as early as 1894 after a meeting at the old Albion Hotel in Toronto on December 28 A motion proposed by William Rolph and David Duncan was approved, establishing the Canadian Jersey Breeders Association A McLean Howard was first president and Wm Rolph Markham, first secretary treasurer In June.1901 the first Canadian Jersey Club was formed, with a charter secured and constitution ap proved.This new club was officially launched under authority of a certificate from the Canada Department of Agriculture dated June 11, 1901 The Canadian Jersey Herd Record was established in 1906 as a member breed of the Canadian National Livestock Records in Ottawa Now each province has its own Jersey Breed Association and there are several county clubs, such as the one in Stanstead County.Many are the outstanding records of Jerseys today The milk has a higher percentage of butterfat than other dairy breeds The meat is good for consumption.The animals

plant lovers for many years.It’s easy to grow, inexpensive and comes in a multitude of varieties Ivy is also delightfully versatile.While young it makes an attractive table or desk plant.Later you might train it to climb up a post or wall or hang it in planters by a window, eliminating the decorative need for draperies English ivy comes in 70 varieties alone, including Canary Island with large green leaves, Pittsburgh ivy with small dark green leaves and Little Diamond ivy with small variegated leaves.You’ll find grape ivy easy to grow, and German or parlor ivy may trail to 20 feet in just one year.Swedish ivy is extremely hardy with brilliant, shiny green leaves This “ivy” is really not a true ivy, but related to the mint family.Ivy prefers bright but not direct sunlight.However it will often tolerate low light conditions.Other needs include a cool atmosphere with a maximum temperature of 70 F in winter, average humidity and evenly moist (not soggy) soil.If you tend to forget to water your plants, take heart.Today’s plastic planters retain moisture longer-than clay pots, so watering may be less frequent.Decorative planters offer enough colors and styles to harmonize with any decor They also include features necessary for most all plants: holes to allow proper drainage and saucers to catch dripping Ivy does not require frequent repotting When roots grow through drainage holes, or if the plant has been in the same pot for two years or more, then it’s time to change to a lightly larger planter.Use a soil mix of equal parts loam, sand and peat or sphagnum moss Don’t be afraid to pinch! During the growing season from spring to fall, ivy requires frequent pinching of new shoots to stimulate fuller, stronger growth Otherwise shoots may become long and straggly.All ivies have a common enemy - red spider mites These little pests spin fine webs on the underside of leaves and suck plant juices until leaves become nearly transparent To protect your plants, spray them with water every week or two DECORATING WITH PLANTS — Ivy, xxilh its many varieties, c an he combined to make attractive arrangements.Since this hardy plant requires moist soil, it adapts especially xxell to plastic planters xxhich help retain moisture while allowing proper drainage.LENNOXVILLE - “What we’re trying to do is maximize a cow’s lifetime milk production,” said Dr Gabriel Roy of the Lennoxville Agricultural Research Station, explaining the station’s role in a nut shell The 1000 acre research station always has a number of widely diversified ex-periements underway simultaneously and Dr Roy, a geneticist and Andre Bouchard, a technician, spoke to The Record about two of them.The first, underway now for over two years, is an experiment designed to study the viability of inducing the birth of twins in cattle.It is easy to un derstand how- a cow which produces two young, instead of the usual one, would be financially advantageous to the farmer The experiment involved some 60 Holstein cows (Holsteins are used because they are the most popular cow with dairy farmers), of which 30 were fed hay alone and 30 were fed hay plus 18 pounds of meal a day.The cows were divided further with 10 animals in each group being injected with 1,600 units of PMSG hormones, another 10 in each group being injected with 800 units of the hormone and the last 10 in each group being given nothing at all.It was found that the two groups injected with 800 units of the hormone tended to produce twins and even triplets in some cases while the group injected with 1,600 units tended to come into heat again some two to three* months later.The experiment, however, pointed out the inadvisability of trying to use hormones commercially to produce twins.Firstly the Freemartin phenomenon By NICHOLAS FOND \ ( Record Reporter ‘ was noticed whenever there was one male and one female twin, the female twin always proved to be sterile It would seem that male hormones, which appear earlier than female hormones, tend to filter from the male to the female embryo, thereby rendering it sterile As Andre Bouchard pointed out.this is a great inconvenience for dairymen who need heifers, but would still be beneficial to beef producers A more serious problem.Dr.Roy indicated, was the fact that the animals producing twins tended to retain their placentas.Retained placentas are always dangerous as they can cause infection and other serious complications The retained placenta.Dr.Roy explained, is a result of the crowding within the mother’s uterus: the twins take up much more space than a single calf and therefore tend to be bom a little sooner than single calves The placenta, not quite as well formed and squeezed tight in the womb has a greater tendency to stick to the uterine wall, and not to be expelled after the birth of the calves The second experiment, underway for only a few months now, is trying to determine the feasibility of inducing lactation in unbred heifers.That’s right animals

The experiment, begun last May, saw 13 heifers just over 12 months old being bred, while another 13 were not This second group, however, was carefully watched and three days after a heifer started a heat period she was given steroids progesteron and a smaller quantity of estrogen, twice a day for a period of seven days.Some 15 days later the heifers started to give milk and they were bred when they came into their next heat period.“The results have so far been pleasantly surprising,” said Mr Bouchard, “we’ve had 100 per cent response.All of the heifers treated have begun to lactate and some surprisingly well After 60 days we’re getting as much as 15 and 16 pounds of milk a day from some heifers.We haven't begun testing the milk for human consumption but first indications would seem that the protein content is just about what you would get from an older cow.” The Record spoke to Dr Roy about the advisability of breeding animals at the age of 12 months “Once an animal has reached 750 pounds and is over 12 months old we can’t see any reason for not breeding her,” he said “At 12 months she is definitely not too young We have animals here that were bred at that age and are producing upwards of 10,000 pounds of milk a year Our tests and testing in Florida indicate that there is no corelation between the age at the first breeding and productive life.” “It is possible that an animal bred early may be a little longer in reaching full development, but there is nothing to indicate that she will not develop fully, the geneticist continued The experiment is lactation is a long and complicated one and only the first phase has been started Some time in October or November another group of heifers, these over 18 months old, will undergo the same experiement The researchers are trying to determine the ideal age for inducing lactation Should the experiment bear fruit it will still be several years before farmers get the opportunity to try the method on their own herds “It will be a good two years before we have definite results,” said Mr.Bouchard, “and then it has to be studied from an economic viewpoint and we also have to see how viable it is for the average farmer.” If the experiments work well it is very possible that in a decade or so farmers will be getting one or even two years more milk out of their cows.Harvesting raspberries should be done in the cool of the morning, and the berries kept in a cool place until used.The patch should be picked every other day during production time, and remember Neighbours, don't pick them when moisture is on the fruit In the late fall, apply well rotted manures, or your dealer can supply you with bags of Vigoro Sheep Compost, a sterilized product free from any type of pathogens LXWN RLXNNING After many weeks of lawncutting.you may not be quite receptive to the idea that now is the time you should be planning for your 1977 lawn Not only planning, but preparing as well In case you think I’m rushing the season a bit, let it be pointed out that the best time to reseed a lawn is early September But tK'fore you do your seeding, you would be w ist* to prepare a good bed If your present lawn is only a temporary one.or is so full of weeds that you want to replace it, here is the plan The easiest method to rid your lawn area of weeds, is using a weed killer It will kill all those broadleaf weeds ADVANCE SALE TICKETS TO HUBERT CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CIRCUS FRIDAY — Aug.27th — 7 p.m.-9 p.m.SATURDAY -
