QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec government has ordered a public inquiry into last week’s collapse of a bridge under construction near Sept-Iles in which six construction workers were killed.Labor Minister Raynald Frechette announced Wednesday that the inquiry will be headed by provincial court Judge Andre Quesnel Two more members will be named to the commission of inquiry soon — one engineer and a health and safety expert.Frechette told the national assem- bly the commission must report its findings by Feb 28.Its mandate is to “establish the causes of the accident, including all circumstances leading up to the tragedy, and to make recommendations designed to avoid similar accidents in future.” The six victims were working by night Oct.30, paving the bridge in preparation for its imminent opening, when the structure snapped.The men tumbled 30 metres into a gorge and were pinned under the wreckage in a deep pool just below the bridge.Justice minister Pierre Marc Johnson told the house he and Frechette met with Quebec provincial police of ficials Tuesday.The police are now tryingto recover five of the bodies buried under the debris.One body was recovered the day after the Oct.30 accident.Johnson said police were ordered to take special care to preserve any evidence relevant to the inquiry as the clean-up of debris in the Ste-Marguerite river continues.RIVER DAMMED The flow of water in the river has been stopped by a dam located next to the bridge But Johnson said the dam might have to be opened if the area receives heavy rainfall in the next few days, complicating the task of those recovering bodies and evidence from the debris.Any evidence uncovered will be im portant not just for for Judge Ques-nel’s inquiry but also for aninquiry by the Quebec Workers’ Compensation Board or a coroner's inquest, he said Johnson said the Montreal engineering firm Lavalin Inc has been hired to clean up the debris and stabilize portions of the bridge which did not collapse The site has been sealed off to the general public as a safety precaution But investigators from the Workers’ Compensation Board and officials from the Confederation of National Trade Unions, to which some of the victims belonged, have been given access.Orford at dusk * • **3* «% RECORD/PKRRY BEATON Record photograher caught the sun going down on Mt.Orford Wednesday.Not the kind of stuff you find in the

port is based on intelligence re ports its cargo included boxes specifi cally designed for carrying MiG jets, U.S.officials say.The appearance of the vessel in Ni caraguan waters touched off a public statement of "utmost concern’’ by the State Department on Wednesday and private warnings to Moscow of the gravity with which Washington would view the delivery of advanced combat aircraft into Nicaragua.U.S.officials, who asked not to be identified, said the warning was deli vered through diplomatic channels Tuesday, the day before the ship arri ved at Corinto, on Nicaragua's Pacific coast.Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel D’Escoto said shortly after the vessel docked its cargo did not include MiGs But one U.S.official said there was no question the cargo loaded on to the vessel at a Black Sea port in late September contained MiG boxes.” He said the vessel left port a bout the same time Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was meeting at the White House with President Reagan.Ronald Reagan.MiGs a threat.The official said the administration believed initially the vessel was headed for Cuba But after the ship travelled through the south Atlantic and headed up the west coast of South America, analysts believed it would stop in Peru, with which the Soviet Union has had military ties for years When it proceeded to Nicaragua, the administration was surprised be cause the Soviets had always relied on other countries such as Cuba, for military deliveries to Nicaragua, the of Jobs jobs jobs, cuts cuts cuts, freeze freeze freeze— JT OTTAWA (CP) — The two opposition party leaders hammered the Conservatives Wednesday for planning to slash federal spending instead of turning their attention to job creation in the first days of the new Parliament.“The prime minister promised jobs jobs jobs,” Opposition Leader John Turner said in debate on the throne speech that opened Parliament Monday “And what did we get?Cuts cuts cuts, freeze freeze freeze,” Turner continued in reference to a spending and hiring freeze announced by Brian Mulroney’s government only a few days after it took power.New Democrat Leader Ed Broad-bent, accusing Mulroney of borrowing lofty words from previous Liberal throne speeches to cover a lack of real action, warned the Tories that their preoccupation with control and reduction of the $32-billion federal de- OTTAWA (CP) — The Conservative government, searching for ways to reduce the federal deficit, plans to eliminate a $275-million grant to Petro-Canada that had been planned for next year.The cut is one of several expected in the energy budget when Finance Minister Michael Wilson presents his economic statement to Parliament today.It is understood that government grants that help home-owners to finance the costs of home insulation and to convert their furnaces to natural gas heat are also to be eliminated.Wilson may also use the opportunity to announce that Canadian oil prices will rise to world levels, a move that would mark the first time in more than a decade that Canadian consumers would pay the full price for the oil they use.Canadians now pay about 91 per cent of world price.Deregulation would likely add about 2 cents a litre to the cost of gasoline, government officials have said.Petro-Canada received $425 million from Ottawa this year for capital expenditures, one-quarter of the company’s total capital budget.It had been due to recieve $275 million from the government for its capital budget next year.Energy Minister Pat Carney said last week the government has not ruled out selling off parts of Petro- ficit could seal their political fate down the road.Broadbent singled out British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government and British Columbia Premier Bill Bennett’s Social Credit government as two examples of failed attempts to cure economic problems by attacking the deficit.Mulroney, brushing off the opposition attacks that drew heavily on themes repeated endlessly during the summer election campaign, predicted that his critics would support major economic and fiscal thrusts to be announced today in a statement from Finance Minister Michael Wilson.Mulroney cut short his maiden speech as prime minister to leave the Commons to welcome visiting French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, but he used the time he had to pick apart Turner’s condemnation of the throne speech by reminding the Liberals of Canada.It is understood, however, that elimination of the government grant does not reflect the Tories’ attitude toward the company but is solely a cost-cutting move.An aide to Carney said Wednesday the minister would make no comment on the Petro-Canada budget until Wilson makes his statement.President Reagan and the Democratic opposition in the Congress are drawing partisan battle lines, with Reagan calling his re-election landslide proof of public approval of his conservative program and the Democrats pledging opposition to “any wild ideas” for new budget cuts.“People made it very plain that they approve of what we are doing, approve of the fact that things are better, the economy is expanding, and that’s what we are going to continue to do,” the president told a news conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday.Reagan, who defeated Walter Mondale in an unprecedented electoral vote landslide, said that if Congress tries to block his conservative program “we’ll take our case to the people." While Reagan was winning easily, Democrats picked up two Senate sets promises they failed to keep in their 1980 throne speech.Acknowledging that Turner was not part of the 1980 government, Mulroney quoted Liberal promises for low fuel prices, a drop in the unemployment rate, a reduction in the size of government and a decrease in the federal deficit.Canadians remembered those broken promises and have put the Liberals in opposition for a “long, long time,” the prime minister said.Turner also dwelt on promises, saying the Tories had pledged an “avalanche” of gçodies for voters during the election campaign last summer.He quoted statements Mulroney made in the spring which suggested the Tory leader knew then that the government was strapped and no party would likely be able to carry through with such generous campaign offerings.Petro-Canada spokesman Sandy Hunter refused to comment directly on whether the cut would be made but said the company would be able to live without the $275 million.The company had been expecting it would have to finance its own capital spending without government aid by 1986.and held Republican gains in the House of Representatives to 14 seats with three more to be decided.Republicans were leading in two of those and a Democrat in the other.Mondale met with reporters in St.Paul, Minn., before flying to Washington.He predicted Reagan would be forced to call for a tax increase.CUT DEFICITS Mondale said the administration will “have to go after social security and medicare” in an effort to cut bud get deficits.He called a tax increase “one of the biggest meals of crow this administration will eat." Mondale and running mate Geraldine Ferraro and their families came together in Washington on Wednesday and for the first time in their poli tical relationship the two publicly cm braced.Throughout the campaign.Mon- “Governments should do what they said they will do,” Turner said, ad ding that it boils down to a relations hip of trust between ordinary citizens and the government.He noted that during the election campaign he warned voters Mulroney was making so many promises his government would either have to raise taxes, cut existing programs or back down on some pledges if it took power."There are a lot of lOU’s out there, " Turner said as he listed several Tory promises that did not find there way into the throne speech.He criticized the government’s decision to halt a youth employment scheme started by the Liberals last summer which they dubbed the First Chance program “Where we offered a first chance, this government is offering little more than a fat chance." Turner also took a few jabs at Mulroney’s style of governing, accusing the prime minister of clamping a lid of secrecy over his administration and using Deputy Prime Minister Erik Nielsen to keep his cabinet ministers and MPs in line.LITTLE DIFFERENCE Broadbent focused on the similarities between Mulroney’s throne speech and the speeches which Libe rals used to open two previous Parlia ments.Again, sticking to one of his main campaign themes, Broadbent said it tax increase dale, on the advice of aides, avoided any physical contact with his vice-presidential candidate — not a hug or a handshake was ever seen Earlier, at a news conference in New York, Ferraro was asked about suggestions she may have cost Mondale votes."Why did more than half of the female electorate go for Ronald Reagan?” she asked "Because he's a very popular president It’s not that we lost it.It’s that he won it and he won it handily " "No one ever said we’d win an election because there was a woman on the ticket," she added."Am I disappointed in American women?Absolutely not.We’re on our way We are not monolithic We have wonderfully independent minds We assess our votes carefully just like everybody else." is virtually impossible to see the difference between the two parties.He said the last Liberal government had switched to the Conservative strategy and planned to aim its efforts at deficit control and reduction over job creation.Noting that the U.S.economy is growing and producing jobs despite a re cord growth in the deficit under President Reagan in the last four years, Broadbent said British Columbia's economy has weakened, causing so cial upheaval “We have never seen such conflict,” the New Democrat Leader said of unrest in the province."My party would have nothing to do with that for the country as a whole.” Mulroney, singling out the failures of past Liberal governments, said Turner ignored that in his speech.He suggested the Liberals should show remorse.“And yet, today, not a word of contrition,” the prime minister said “The Liberal party has been wiped out in the provinces, reduced to a rump here, and we don't even get a little T’m sorry.'” Mulroney followed Turner in the debate, after the Liberal leader moved a traditional amendment condemning the throne speech LONDON (AP) Hundreds of mi ners returned to work Wednesday, defying union officials leading a strike that began almost eight months ago.“I think the drift back has been caused by despair amongst mi ners,” said a spokesman for the state-run National Coal Board, Mi chael Eaton.“We expect that this will happen in increasing num bers." Management said 404 miners re turned to their jobs on Wednesday, joing a steady flow back to work An estimated 1,600 miners this week quit the strike, which union leaders called on March 12 to protest

news conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Rea gan said he would regard the delivery of advanced combat aircraft to Nica ragua as serious and a “threat” to Central America.Reagan declined to say how the Uni ted States might respond if the delivery contains MiGs Other officials said, however, the United States is considering air strikes to destroy any such aircraft Nicaragua interpreted Washington's reaction as a prelude to U.S.military intervention."This is an attempt to prepare the atmosphere for direct military attacks against our territory with the participation of North American troops," a statement issued in Managua said The United States contends Nicaragua’s vastly superior troop strength in Central America has been offset by the superior aerial capability of Nica ragua’s northern neighbor, Hon duras.The administration contends if Nicaragua imports MiG jets, that advantage would be overcome and even the Panama Canal put at risk.Politically, one official said, Nica raguan air and ground superiority could force Honduras and other countries to seek an accommodation with the Sandinista government, laying the groundwork for a further projec tion of Soviet and Cuban

Congress, an umbrella federation embracing 10 million British workers, met for more than five hours Wednesday with the leader of the miners’ union, Arthur Seargill The congress said it will take "all possible steps” short of joining the strike to step up support for the miners.Power workers, truck drivers and other key groups have refused to oh serve miners' picket lines Norman Willis, general

(CP) — Many down town merchants are shortening hours of business, laying off employees and calling for government intervention to stop a transit strike that has cut their sales by as much as 75 per cent.“Look, there’s nobody here,’’ said jewelry store saleslady Ann Glas-scoon the 21st day of the strike by Montreal subway and bus drivers.She works on Ste-Catherine street, the main downtown shopping artery.“I would say we’ve lost 70 to 80 per cent of our business I think it’s revolting.Claude Lalonde, managerof an S.S.Kresge department store, said his sales are down by 25 to 30 per cent, forcing him to lay off 15 employees.Lila Tokes, owner of two downtown gift shops, said business is down byhalf, she cannot pay the rent, and some wholesalers have stopped providing goods because she is behind in payments.“You know how much we sold this morning?Two postcards and three packs of cigarettes.That's what I make “How do I explain to people I cannot pay my bills because I don’t have sales?” CUT STAFF Sandro Borrli, manager of a footwear boutique, said sales are down by at least 30 per cent and he has cut his sales staff to three persons from six.Most downtown stores have altered their schedules so employees can use the rush-hour services provided by the striking drivers under Quebec’s Essential Services Act.Monday to Wednesday, they open a half hour earlier than usual and close an hour later.Almost all the business people interviewed said they would like the government to legislate the transit employees back to work.Bars in Old Montreal report a drastic drop in business which could threaten the survival of some.Andre Beaulieu, owner of the Blue Note show bar, said he has been losing “a couple of thousand a week" since the strike began.“We are personally getting into trouble,” he said.“We can handle this for maybe a couple more weeks, but if it goes on much longer we will definitely close.” CREATING DISASTER Peter Chalmers, owner of a Sherbrooke street music store, said the transit workers are creating an economic disaster in Montreal.“I really get angry when I think I might have to lay off staff because some bus driver wants to make more than $14 an hour,” he said.“My staff aren’t making nearly that much.” Perhaps the only people happy about the strike are taxi drivers.“We’re getting quite a bit more business,” said Julio Tassy.“I’m glad about the strike.But the traffic is crazy.” A news blackout was imposed this week on negotiations between the union and the Montreal transit commission as government mediators began meeting with both sides in the dispute.The strikers have been providing service weekdays during peak morning.afternoon and late-night travel periods.Only the handicapped have service on weekends.The main issues are split shifts, working conditions, and wages.‘Vive le Canada’, says News-in-brief visiting French leader OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Mulroney signalled Wednesday an end to the long-standing federal-provincial squabbling with Quebec over relations with France.While Ottawa still intends “to exercise all of its constitutional responsibilities” in international relations, “federalism as we intend to exercise it, far from being an obstacle to the legitimate Quebec-Paris dialogue, will enhance and strengthen it,” Mulroney said as he welcomed French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius at an official dinner.Moreover, “my government will also be pleased if your country wishes to undertake, with the same respect for institutions, initiatives with French-speaking groups outside of Quebec."There will be no more ambiguity concerning the role that Canada intends to play in her relations with France,” he added at another point, “and no more questions concerning her desire to make Franco-Canadian relations an integral part of her foreign policy.” Mulroney was positively effusive as he saluted France, telling Fabius that “we do not just admire France, we love her,” and, “we need France, and if France thinks that she needs us too, we will not fail her." Fabius, who flies to Quebec City this evening after a day of talks in Ottawa, did not match Mulroney’s oratory but ended his remarks with a flourish that must have pleased the prime minister anyway.“Vive le Canada,” he said, evoking memories of the “Vive le Quebec libre” cry of the late French president Charles de Gaulle in Montreal in 1967, an incident that sent Canada-France relations plummeting.“Long live France,” added Fabius, who invited Mulroney to visit that country.“And long live the friendship between France and Canada.” Fabius said that while France’s link with Quebec is at the heart of France-Canada relations, “our ambition is more vast and is aimed at all Canadians," including anglophones.Ontario offering French more school-board power TORONTO (CP) — Legislation will be introduced this fall, and will be in place by next November, to guarantee francophone representation on dozens of school boards across Ontario, Premier William Davis said Wednesday.Davis, Education Minister Bette Stephenson and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Tom Wells met with officials from 43 school boards on Wednesday to go over the government’s plan for creating new trustees on boards where a certain proportion of the students are francophones.The plan was first announced in the spring of 1983, when the government said it would guarantee every franco- phone pupil the right to an education in French — eliminating the controversial policy of providing French-language schooling only “where numbers warrant.” The Conservative government has already introduced legislation to provide for French-language education and Davis said the government will proceed with the plan to establish the new positions for francophone trustees for about 20 public and 23 separate boards.Stephenson said the specific number of new positions won’t be known until the bill is introduced in December, but it will be determined by a formula based on the size of the school board and the student population.Art ‘lover’ caught with Quebec painting at home NEW YORK (CP) — A painting by Quebec artist Paul-Emile Borduas, stolen from the 49th Parallel gallery three weeks ago, was back

sculpture under his arm.Louis Hillen, 31, a self-employed designer who lives in Guttenberg, N.J., has been charged with the thefts.The thief "liked the art and it was very easy to steal,” said Detective Thomas Moscardini, the police art squad officer who made the arrest.“So he took it.He had it all hanging in his apartment in New Jersey.” Moscardini arrested the suspect as he left SoHo’s Paula Cooper gallery Police said Hillen spent a long time studying the sculpture — a well-known work by New York artist Joel Shapiro — came back later to introduce himself to the gallery director as an art consultant, and finally returned when the gallery filled early in the afternoon.—________________fogl uscmti George MacLaren, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager

of Circulations Ambulance dispute heats up MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec Justice Department is considering whether enough evidence exists to file charges of criminal negligence against Montreal ambulance workers fighting for their first contract.And Social Affairs Minister Camille Laurin has appointed a special observer to investigate the dispute and report back to him immediately.The moves were sparked by a report from the provincial Essential Services Council which said the work-to-rule tactics of the ambulance drivers threaten public safety.In fact, the threat would be less serious if emergency health workers were on a legal strike, with essential services guaranteed as required by Quebec law.Tough measures recommended MONTREAL (CP) — Another gloomy report about passenger trains in Canada says Via Rail could improve its service or trim its losses — possibly both — by getting tough with the two national railways and their unions.Two Toronto professors, commissioned by the federal Transportation Development Centre to analyse Via’s plight, say federal subsidies for passenger service in the Quebec City-Windsor, Ont., corridor should be phased out, a move that could be used to force the railways to improve the operation of passenger trains.Adil Cubukgill and Richard Soberman also contend Via should forget about building a highspeed rail link between Montreal and Toronto along the lines of France’s TGV or Japan’s Bullet train.It should concentrate on improving current services.Severe blows caused boy’s death MONTREAL (CP) — Maurice Viens, the four-year-old found dead five days after he was kidnapped, died from a severe blow to the back of his head from a blunt object, a Quebec coroner said Wednesday.Romuald Cloutier said an autopsy performed earlier in the day showed the child also suffered repeated blows to the lower back and buttocks.“It’s a little too early to say, but it would appear that he put up no kind of a struggle before he died,” said Cloutier, a pharmacist appointed to head an inquest into the death.“There were no bruises on his arms or shoulder — but how much of a struggle can a four-year-old boy put up?” Inquests in Quebec are held to determine if criminal responsibility is involved in violent or suspicious deaths.A coroner’s ruling is not binding on the Crown.Lortie prevented from seeing tapes QUEBEC (CP) — A Superior Court judge turned down Cpl.Denis Lortie’s request on Wednesday to obtain videotapes that recorded part of the May 8 submachine-gun attack at the national assembly in which three people died and 13 were wounded.Mr.Justice Jean Bienvenue said he could not release the tapes because the request should have been made to the trial judge first.Lortie, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, goes to trial Nov 19 on three counts of first-degree murder and nine counts of attempted murder.The Crown took possession of the tapes shortly after the attack and plans to use them as evidence at Lortie’s trial.PM asked to talk education HALIFAX (CP) — Canadian university presidents have asked Prime Minister Mulroney and the premiers to work out an agreement on the role government ought to play in higher education.Dr.Andrew MacKay, president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, said Wednesday the group is concerned about the lack of agreement between Ottawa and the provinces on their roles and obligations in higher education.In a letter to Mulroney, MacKay asked him to discuss the subject at the first ministers’ meeting next week in Ottawa.Jury resumes deliberations TORONTO (CP) — After listening to a second charge from the judge, which like the first was denounced by the defence as biased and sketchy, the jury in the Morgentaier abortion trial finally went into seclusion Wednesday and will resume deliberations today.Dr.Henry Morgentaier, 62, Dr.Robert Scott, 37, and Dr.Leslie Smoling, 55, are charged with conspiracy to procure a miscarriage, the term used in the Criminal Code referring to abortion.The jurors in the case, who received a second round of instructions from Associate Chief Justice William Parker on Wednesday, returned to the courtroom seeking a lengthy clarification on a point of law and the judge adjourned the case until they can be briefed on the issue this morning.Turner blasts throne speech OTTAWA (CP) — The Conservative government is ignoring its election promises in favor of "meditation, contemplation, rumination and most of all hesitation,” Opposition Leader John Turner said Wednesday.He condemned the Tories first throne speech, which opened a new session of Parliament on Monday, for not providing leadership, a vision of the future or meaningful job-creation plans.Government members have gone into retreat since the Sept.4 election, Turner said in the Commons, “but they aren't monks and we aren't living in a seminary.” Mulroney reassures Commons Japan predicts trade troubles OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Mulroney assured Canadians Wednesday his government has not turned its back on the unemployed in addressing the problem of the deficit.And he told opposition leaders in the Commons they will be pleased with the economic measures to be introduced tonight in Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s economic statement.Wilson has said that statement will outline the current state of the nation’s finances and what the Conservatives intend to do about it.Mulroney was taken to task first by Liberal Leader John Turner and then by New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent for promising to create thousands of jobs overnight if his party won the Sept.4 election.__ Crombie names chief of staff OTTAWA (CP) — Indian and Northern Affairs Minister David Crombie has appointed Ronald Doering, a 37-year-old Ottawa lawyer, as his chief of staff.Doering, whose clients have included native groups and several organizations with interests in Northern Canada, will assume Crombie’s top staff position Dec.1.Doering was hired in 1983 by the Conservative government in Saskatchewan as an adviser on native issues.He attended the first ministers’ constitutional conference on native rights that year as a member of the provincial delegation.Clark wants joint action OTTAWA (CP) — The Conservative government is considering a new aid scheme for drought-stricken Ethiopia that would see private donations matched by federal funds, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark said Wednesday.The emergency situation in the African nation, where millions are threatened with starvation, requires joint action by government and individuals, Clark told the Commons.Proposals for increasing Canada’s commitment, including the possible establishment of a permanent mobile assistance unit on the African continent, are being considered and a decision will be announced within days, he said.Bank rate to take dive OTTAWA (CP) — The Bank of Canada rate is expected to tumble by as much as a third of a point today and could possibly topple some other lending rates, money traders said Wednesday.The expected decline in the trend-setting rate, from its present level of 11.67 per cent, reflects the continuing slide in U.S.interest rates and the recent stability and relative strength of the Canadian dollar which has been trading above 76 cents U.S.Should a decline of a third of a point occur today it would leave the bank rate at its lowest level in about half a year.And some banks may respond by lowering their prime rates, offered to top corporate clients, by a quarter-point to 12.25 per cent, traders said.Banks already have been pushing their mortgage rates down.Shultz encourages Soviet talks WASHINGTON (Reuter) — U.S.State Secretary George Shultz was quoted by the Washington Post today as suggesting that “concrete deeds” by Moscow on nuclear test-limit treaties could lead to improved U.S.-Soviet relations.The newspaper quoted Shultz as saying in an interview that “now is the time to push.negotiating and talking.” The Post said Shultz was apparently responding to Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko's proposal in a Post interview last month that U.S.agreement to any one of four Soviet proposals could improve U.S.-Soviet relations.Satellite launch delayed again VANDENBERG, Calif.(AP) — The launch of a satellite to monitor Earth’s weather and help locate plane crash and shipwreck survivors was scrubbed early today because of strong winds — the same problem that delayed launch of the space shuttle from Cape Canaveral, Fla., this week.The NOAA-F satellite, mounted atop an Atlas-E rocket, was scheduled for launch from this coastal air force base between2:42a.m.and2:52a m., the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.But the launch was postponed 24 hours because winds at 12,190 metres were blowing at 120 knots, “just above the margin that we needed,” said NASA spokesman Jim Elliott.Surface winds of 30 knots also exceded a 20-knot limit.Six killed in guerrilla raid LIMA (AP) — Shining Path guerrillas killed five government officials and a community leader and ransacked an election registration centre in attacks on jungle towns, police report.Police said Wednesday about 40 guerrillas from the Maoist-oriented movement raided the jungle towns of J i via and Jesus in the state of Huanuco in central Peru.The rebels dragged a justice of the peace and four other government officials from their houses and shot them dead, police said.The guerrillas also killed a community leader, they said.Armed forces took up positions in the area in mid-July as part of the government’s fight against the rebels, who have announced they want to disrupt the process for presidential elections scheduled foi April 14.TOKYO (Reuter) — Japan’s Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe predicted today further trade friction with the United States.“It will inevitably come up, given the enormous amount of trade between our two countries,” Abe told a meeting of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan.“But we have tried and will continue to try to prevent the friction from developing into a political confrontation.We will renew our efforts to open our market to U.S.products while the United States is required to combat trade protectionism.” He called for President Reagan’s leadership in world peace — including resumption of nuclear disarmament talks with Moscow and ultimately a U.S.-Soviet summit meeting.Soviets analyze Reagan win MOSCOW (Reuter) — The Soviet daily Pravda said today President Reagan won the U.S.election through a better campaign than his opponents but declared that his victory does not mean he has mass support among Americans.In an analysis of Reagan’s sweeping triumph at the polls, the Comniunist party daily said his chief advantages had been a “united and monolithic” Republican party behind him and his skill in appealing to “middle Americans.” In contrast, the Democrats had appeared divided following a bitter contest over who should lead the party to the polls and had failed to exploit major issues such as the threat of nuclear war in their campaign, Pravda said.Chad accused of killings LONDON (AP) — Amnesty International has accused government forces in Chad of hundreds of killings, including burning people alive in a church where they had sought sanctuary.The independent London-based human rights group, which won the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize, said in a statement today the church burning took place at the town of N’Galo in the administrative district of Moyen-Chari in southern Chad.It said the burning was among “hundreds of summary executions” carried out by government forces in the African country over the last two months.__ Leader to meet Polish officials WARSAW (AP) — West German opposition leader Hans-Jochen Vogel is in Poland for a four-day official visit that is expected to include a meeting with Polish leader Gen.Wojciech Jaruzelski.Vogel, the Social Democratic party parliamentary leader, arrived Wednesday and is scheduled to meet Communist party, government and Roman Catholic church officials during his visit, a West German Embassy spokesman said.He will hold talks with Jaruzelski on Saturday before his departure, the spokesman said.The West German foreign minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, is planning to visit Warsaw later this month, western diplomats said.Lebanese-Israeli talks begin NAQOURA, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanese and Israeli army officers gathered in this border town today for negotiations on an agreement that would allow Israel to withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon after a 29-month occupation.The talks, taking place at the headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping force, are likely to be long and difficult.Security was heavy as six Lebanese officers arrived by helicopter from Beirut and six Israeli officers drove up the narrow coastal highway from the Israeli border five kilometres to the south.UN soldiers armed with rifles stood on the roofs of buildings inside the seaside compound, and metal blockades designed to stop tanks forced traffic on the road to slow down outside the fenced-in complex.China wins seat on World Court UNITED NATIONS (AP) — China has won a seat on the World Court for the first time since Peking gained admission to the United Nations 13 years ago.U.S.-educated Ni Zhengyu, legal council in the Chinese Foreign Ministry, was

KKCORU—Thursday.November H, 1984—3 the< Record Quebec Farmers’ Association plans move into farm credit business By Peter Scowen ST-ANNE-DE-BELLEVUE — The Quebec Farmers' Association is planning to start its own farm credit union, newly re-elected President Warren Grapes said Wednesday A lack of affordable short term ere dit from banks and government institutions is forcing the QFA’s hand in the matter, Grapes explained.“We have to do it to maintian the farm community," he said.“The lack of affordable credit ia a serious threat to our community." Grapes was speaking at the QFA’s annual meeting held at MacDonald College in Ste-Anne de-Bellevue, where he was re-elected president of the Anglophone farmers’ association.Gerald Duncan was re-named vice-president.Roderick Morrison, Ken Hodge, Wilson Southam, Ainsley Lummis Warren Grapes.Re-elected.and Jeannie Neveu were elected as the association’s executive for 1984-85.The QFA has been considering starting its own credit union for over a year, according to Grapes.There are “very limited” finances available from the federal Farm Credit Corpo ration (FCC) and the provincial Office du crédit agricole (OCAQ), he said.“Finding a bank manager who understands farm finance is difficult,” the Sawyerville dairy farmer added.The FCC now only lends farmers money as a last resort, after all other credit sources have been tried.It’s rates are close to market levels, as well.The OCAQ has also cut back on the loans it is making to farmers, particularly new farmers.“There’s definitely a need for it,” said Grapes.“I’m pretty sure it’s going to go.” The farm credit union proposal will go to a vote before QFA members sometime next year.It will be run by a permanent staff with an elected committee to establish policy, Grapes explained.Money for the credit union will be raised by private contributions, with no obligatory payments made by QFA members, their president emphasized.Grapes hopes the union will eventually have assets of $2 million.UPA president Jacques Proulx, who came to a QFA annual meeting for the first time, said he didn't agree starting another credit union was the answer to farmers' financial problems, but he admitted the need was justified.“We prefer to work on the systems that already exists,” Proulx said, ad ding that UPA representatives met with federal Agriculture Minister John Wise this week.He agreed the present systems need to be re-done, however.“It’s good to talk about starting your own union,” Proulx said.“It makes people aware there are problems.” In other business at the annual meeting, Grapes reported the association had a very good year.The QFA’s main goal is to supply members with good English-language information on farming issues.A number of reports on various subjects were prepared by researchers hired by the QFA last year.Among them are an explanation of farm transfers, the state of the sheepraising industry in Quebec and most recently, an explanation of the UPA’s proposed 100-per-cent increase in beef cattle checkoffs.The Advocate, the QFA’s monthly newspaper, is going to add more editions to its yearly output in 1984-85, Grapes said.Other achievments over the past year include pressuring Quebec’s workmen’s compensation board into providing forms and guides in English on request, an improvement in the Quebec farm ministry’s English-language newsletter, the presenta- tion of a brief on soil manure pits which helped change provincial envi ronmental laws and the succesful de feating of a referendum to start a maple syrup marketing board A number of people saw UPA president Proulx's presence at the annual meeting as proof of the QFA's sue cess, even though he only arrived af ter lunch Proulx just saw it as his duty to be there and listen, although he speaks no English “They're our producers,” he said."It's important to come to listen to their ideas." Gov’t unfair to women says farme By Warren Perley ST-ANNE DE BELLEVUE (UPC) — The salesman who tells farmer Bri-gid Pyke that he wants to see the boss isn’t going to make a sale, she said Wednesday “It comes as a great surprise to men that many women these days are extremely anxious to discard the image of farmer’s wife and helper," Pyke told the annual meeting of the Quebec Farmers’ Assocation.Pyke, first vice-president of the 25,000-member Ontario Federation of Agriculture, owns a 1,000-acre dairy farm with her husband.Robert, on Wolfe Island in the St.Lawrence Sea way near Kingston.Ontario.“Farming women want to be regar ded as equal partners in both marriage and in the farm enterprise," she told 150 QFA delegates.“They have nothing but contempt for the feed salesman or insurance sa lesman who looks them straight in the eye at the back door and says automa tically: ‘Is the boss home?’, meaning, ‘May I speak to your husband?”’ Farming women are "distressed" by the “arbitrary and unfair” attitudes of government and big business .Working proudly with ?* Rrigid Pyke.husbands towards them, Pvke said TOUGHER CRITERIA Farming women face more stringent criteria than do men when they seek federal agricultural stabiliza- tion payments, she said A non related third party must attest that the women are involved in income producing farm activities.Men can obtain such subsidies without corroboration Federal bodies such as the Canadian Dairy Commission do not consider housekeeping, book-keeping, or management as farming activities that qualify the applicant for subsidies.“But providing meals and raising children leads indirectly to income production," Pyke said.It is difficult for women to establish their own credit rating with banks and farm credit corporations, she said Federal and provincial governments must enact new laws and policies to eradicate such institutional inequities, she said."Most farming women are looking to work proudly with their husbands; not for them," she said The QFA represents 4,000 English-language Quebec farmers There are 40,000 farmers in the province.There are .'il8,000 farms across Canada.There are no figures on the number of female farmers.MCI blames dangerously low lake level on down-river consumption By Bobby Fisher MAGOG — At least Stuart Hopps and Yves St.Jacques agree on two things: the water in Lake Memphre-magog is low; and if it doesn’t rain soon there will be big trouble.After that however, there is very little the two men see eye-to-eye on.Hopps is inspector for the Township of Magog and the vice-president of Memphremagog Conservation Inc.(MCI), a 1200-member international watchdog organization that keeps an eye out for the environmental status of Lake Memphremagog.St.Jacques is the Energy and Maintenance manager of Dominion Textile in Magog.Hopps says the level of Lake Memphremagog is dangerously low and the reason for it being so is a unseasonably dry autumn and the dam gates at Dominion Textiles were open for too long, allowing too much water to escape earlier this year.However, he isn’t blaming the Dominion Textiles people.It’s the ones farther down the Kl ( ORIM’I KRY BKATON If water levels in Lake Memphremagog go down another six inches, a Dominion Textile spokesman says, plant production will be in danger.Magog River, which empties Memphremagog, that he is steamed at.“The city of Sherbrooke takes two million gallons of water per day out of the lake,” fumes Hopps.“Plus there are Deauville.Omerville and Rock Forest drawing their supplies as well.“There is outside pressure on the textile,” he goes on.“They are trying to use the lake as a reservoir and it can't be done.There are too many people putting outside pressure on the textile and we’re going to put a stop to it.” AGREES St.Jacques agrees the lake is at an all-time low but puts the blame on the lack of rain and nothing else.He says his company has left the dam open “at a strict minimum ever since July 15.“We are restricted by a provincial bylaw made through an international joint commission agreement to keep a minimum of 350 cubic feet per second flowing out,” St.Jacques claims.“We have been doing that since the middle of July until last week when a representative of the Minister of the Environment (provincial) came and gave us permission to lower the rate to 150,” which is what the amount it’s currently at.The amount going out now is not Hopps’ gripe, though.He is mad because of the amount that was pouring out earlier in the year.“There is still about 350 cubic feet per second going out,” Hopps said Monday, “but you take earlier in the year they were letting out something like 950.” Actually, the figure, according to St.Jacques, was 5000 cubic feet per second.“Before July we were letting out 5000,” St.Jacques says.“But that was because the water in Newport was so high they were being flooded out.The mayor cqlled me and asked me to open the gates.” DAMAGE LONG-LASTING St.Jacques says Dominion Textile “has strict perimeters which we must stay within and if the water levels stay within them I don’t say anything.” If the lake’s water level drops below those perimeters, he calls the provincial environment board, which he claims he did last week.Hopps says the damage already done will have long-lasting effects.“It will take five years to get it back to what it was,” he says.“The marshes around the lake are all dried up — the Cherry River marsh and the South Bay marsh near Newport — and iff KFCOkh W KH Y BFATON Low water levels in iMke Memphremagog are being caused by too much consumption farther down the Magog River, a representative of the MCI claims.marshes are an important part of of soon cost more your lake.“Now’s the time when Brown Trout are spawning and they can't get anywhere near the brooks or the shore because the water is so low.” Hopps says the MCI has been “bringing the lake back” since the organization’s formation in 1967 when an outbreak of weeds first began to choke out water life He adds that a heavy weed crop can be expected again next year because of the low level now.“With sunlighl on the bottom in places that aren’t nor mally exposed to it, there’s going to be a good crop of weeds next year Yesterday (Monday) we saw where there is grass growing in spots where there is usually nothing." Some areas around the lake now have 50 or 60 feet of beach where nor mally there is none.In a pamphlet distributed by Dominion Textile, the company says du ring the period of the year when ice is forming the lake's level is kept between 680.5 and 681.5 feet above sea level Hopps said Monday it was at 679.5.St.Jacques agrees it is too low and would love to see more water because, he says, the drought is costing Dominion Textile money And it may “If it goes down any more it will endanger production because process water is pumped in from the river," St.Jacques says.“Where the pumps are in the river, air is very close to getting in the line.” Which will cause the pumps to suck in air instead of water.That has bever happened before, St.Jacques says, since the factory opened in 1898 COSTS MONEY Dominion Textile is already losing “about $15,000" per month because the water level is so low.Hydro electric power is normally generated when the dam can be opened more but be cause the outflow is so slow the difference must be made up on purchases from Hydro Quebec, an amount St Jacques says, is "alioiit 10 per cent" of a monthly bill of $150,000 But, he adds, the call he received Tuesday from The Record was only the second he has had since the water started going down.“This is why I’m wondering about all of this.I’ve seen articles in the papers and people are saying something about the dam being opened too much and I’ve only been called about it by you and a girl from Stanstead this summer who said she was doing research on the lake for the Sherbrooke Record ” As for the MCI charges, St Jacques says, if they have a channel to God, I wish they'd let me have the number because I want rain too." Laurin says ‘no reprisals’ for St-Julien workers Bourassa: Liberals party of Quebec economic future By William Harri Robert Bourassa.Not for glory.s GRANBY —- Robert Bourassa says he could have rested on his laurels but returned to the public spotlight because he feels he’s the best man to put Quebec back on track in the ’80s.Speaking to the Granby Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night, the Quebec Liberal leader told the crowd of over 200 that he isn't involved in politics for the glory.“I could have stayed in retirement, continuing to live on my past accomplishments," he said.“In 1973,1 won the biggest majority of National Assembly seats in the history of Quebec, and for that I would have had my place in history.But I have returned to public life because I honestly feel that I am the best qualified and most able person to help improve the economic and social conditions in our province,” Bourassa spoke mainly in generalities about current economic conditions in Quebec, and also about how things will be different under a Libe- ral government."Quebec has the potential, in terms of both natural resources and a strategic location, to be one of the richest economic centres in the world,” he said.“The pursuit of a dynamic, thriving economy in Quebec has been an obsession of mine ever since I entered politics It is a battle that I will never stop fighting." According to Bourassa, Quebec is entering a new cycle in its economic evolution and a Liberal government is needed to compliment the new financial wave.“Everything contributes to the investment climate," he said."Social conditions, political conditions, even cabinet solidarity which has become a thing of the past in the PQ government.It is going to take a change of power in Quebec City to make the economy the number one issue again and I see our party as the party of Quebec's economic future." Bourassa.who has travelled extensively throughout the past year speaking to Quebec's business organizations, considers his visits to be orientation meetings for the private sector.“I have always recognized that the most important time for any new go vernment is its first year in power,” he says.“I don’t intend to spend the first year of my new mandate setting up committees — we plan to move into action immediately.This is why it is vital to talk to Quebec’s businessmen now in order that they can prepare and be ready for the province’s new and more stimulating economic philo sophy." When questioned on what he thought of new Canadian Prime Mi nister Brian Mulroney, Bourassa answered in a way which was both hopeful and humorous “In 1976, after my party had been defeated and Mr Mulroney had lost the Conservative leadership conven-fion, 1 met with him on numerous occasions since we both had some spare time on our hands," he said with a smile.“1 know Mr.Mulroney to be a strong and dedicated federalist and if he delivers on his election promises, I truly believe that the two of us will be able to work together to help Quebec and Canada.” ST FERDINAND 1) HALIFAX (CP)— An illegal strike by employees of a psychiatric hospital that employs almost half the town here continued today but there was a glimmer of hope a settlement could be in the offing The 717 employees walked off their jobs at St-Julien Hospital on Oct 15 after 10 jobs were cut from evening shifts Twenty five workers have been fired so far for defying a return to-work deadline on Monday.Four others face criminal charges for van dalism and intimidation.Social Affairs Minister Camille Laurin, who has supported the hospi tal in its efforts to end the dispute, opened the door to a possible settlement when he promised Wednesday to ask hospital administrator Reno Houle not to take any reprisals against the workers "for the single reason that they went on strike " But he warned that those workers who have already been fired would have to go through the normal grie vance procedure if they wanted their jobs back Later, officials from Laurin's office and representatives of the Confederation of National Trade Unions, which represents the nurses, nurses' aides and office workers, opened discussions and invited Houle to participate SETS CONDITION In a telegram to Laurin Wednesday night, Houle said he would not partiel pate in the talks until the workers re turn to their jobs at the 706 lied hospi tal in this community, HO kilometres south of Quebec City The 25 firings stand, he said, but he offered to hold off on disciplinary action against the remaining workers if they return to work by Friday.Employees were expected to decide today whether to return to their jobs.The union has scaled down its demands since the strike began It no longer wants the 10 orderly jobs restored only to be rehired with promises that no reprisals will be taken for the strike and the 25 fired workers be restored Lucille Poirier, president of the CNTU local at the hospital, told members Wednesday night she was a opti mistic such a settlement is still possible ASKED FOR MORE Carole Lessard, one of the 25 workers fired, said she believed she was dismissed "because I was the one who always asked for the most.” Other striking workers accused the hospital of using scare tactics to force them to return to work The red brick hospital, which houses 706 mentally retarded and psychiatric patients, is the town's major employer.Essential services are being provided by 3(H) professionals, supervisors and outside workers who are putting in 12 hour shifts Unemployed workers from surrounding towns have been braving catcalls from the strikers to apply at the hospital for their jobs "What can I do” I'm on welfare and I need work," said one newly-hired worker who would not give his name The HKt'ORI»—Thursday, November H.I9H4 flecovB Fhe Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial No net gain After three full weeks of the strike against the Montreal Urban Community Transit Commission by its drivers, the two sides are no closer to settlement than when the dispute began, and because of this the provincial government might do well to re-examine its legislation regarding strikes in the public and para-public service as a whole.Commuters have been comforted somewhat during this dispute because of legislation forcing the MUCTC and the union to provide ‘essential services' during peak hours, but this measure has had the undesrired effect of relaxing pressure on the two parties to reach an agreement and has contributed to an extension of the strike The result for downtown businesses has been disastrous.The purpose of the Essential Services Act is to assure that the general public is not unduly deprived of public services during labour disputes It is a laudible goal and despite complaints it may be said to have been achieved during the present strike.But businesses, the taxpaying foundation of any downtown area, have suffered retail sales losses of up to 70 and 80 per cent in some cases, seriously threatening the continued existence of many commercial establishments.By contributing to the prolongation of the strike, the Essential Services Act may actually have contributed to long-term effects far greater than those previously suffered by the weary transit user.In an age when small business is stiuggling to recover from a long and withering economic depression, obstacles to this recovery —like a transit strike — cannot be easily borne.The present strike may actually ring the death knell of struggling enterprises that might just otherwise have made it.There is no argument to the worthy intention of the Essential Services Act and to its progressive, responsible implementation.But if a law that is designed to protect one segment of society from the negative effects of labor disputes merely transfers and magnifies these effects on to another, no net gain is possible.Perhaps the time has come for the government to consider more drastic means of ensuring that society in general receives and benefits from services it so desperately relies upon.Binding arbitration in all public service disputes may be the only means to force opposing sides to come to reasonable agreement.MICHAEL McDEVITT Bruce Levett Where one ends the other begins.To understand the situation properly, first you must understand how Metropolitan Toronto is constituted.The metropolitan area — we like to call it just plain Metro — is made up of the municipalities of Toronto, York.East York, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke This last is pronounced Eh-TOE-bih-coe.It doesn't say why.At any rate, all of the above would appear at a casual glance to be one with the whole.In other words, should one miss the "Welcome To" billboards, it is virtually impossible for the stranger to determine just where one ends and the other begins.The various politicians (if not the actual residents) profess to understand these invisible boundaries.And therein lies the rub.At a cost of $50,000 — split among the sensitive six — a new slogan was invented Designed to haul in tourists from far and wide, it stated simply "Toronto — Discover the Feeling.” Well, let me tell you that that put the cat among the pigeons What about several Yorks'’ Why not "Scarborough — Discover the Feeling?" Is there not a ring to "Etobicoke — Discover the Feeling?" (It is to wince at the thought of svelte Parisiennes, stumbling upon such a slogan, pausing to puzzle "qu est ce que c'est que ca zis Eh toe bick coke?") In the absence of a satisfactory answer, they will, of course, head straight back to the Riviera — just like last year Okay — suppose they all compromised, as has been suggested, and made it simply Metro — Discover the Feeling?Well, Metro what?In many parts of the world, the word Metro is synonymous with subway It is certainly not to be suggested that the intention is to publicize such delights as may be found on the underground at rush-hour "It would give a whole new meaning to the word MetroPass," giggled one springly young thing iln Toronto, a MetroPass is something that gets you through the turnstile.) It was clear that Mel Eastman, mayor of North York, was thinking along these lines when he expostulated: "Mothers certainly won't want Discover the Feeling plastered all over the fronts of their teen-aged girls' T-shirts." The motto "doesn't mean anything," he argued The main beef, however, seemed to be that — even more significant than the lack of message — the slogan ignored the suburbs.Of course, by the time you read this, the whole pro blem likely will have been resolved Would you believe: "Toronto.York, East York, North York.Scarborough.Etobicoke — Discover the Feeling?" Wouldn't surprise me one little bit Can quiet Rajiv replace India’s ‘Tigress’?AP NEWS ANALYSIS By Victoria Graham NEW DELHI (AP) — The urgent question in turbulent, troubled India, ruled for 15 years by the iron willed Indira Gandhi, is whether her modest elder son can govern the country.Rajiv Gandhi has inherited the magic of the Gandhi name, the post of prime minister held by his slain mother and the dynas tic mantle of the Nehru family.He also has inherited staggering pro blems, worse than those faced by Indira Gandhi in 1966 when she was chosen prime minister by politicians who mistakenly thought she was soft and malleable.Rajiv Gandhi.40, a former airline pilot and a once-reluctant politician, has inherited a vast, wounded country of 730 million people.It is torn by the worst communal violence since partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan 37 years ago, plagued by separatist movements, and still struggling against poverty, hunger, disease, pestilence and illiteracy.Gandhi, groomed for the past four years as his mother’s heir apparent, is well aware of the challenge."The family only gets one an entry," he once said.“If you expect to go further, you have to show you can do something." Catapulted to power by his mother’s assassination last week, Gandhi has inherited frayed relations with all of India’s neighbors on the subcontinent.He is backed by a Congress party, which has been mired for years in corruption and favoritism, riven by jealousy and dissension.Many senior party members in the government can claim they have more experience and a greater right to govern.NO ONE ELSE But no one else can invoke the heritage of his mother and of his grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India He can count on the country’s sympathy and good will, for now.Four years ago Gandhi was dragged reluctantly into politics to replace his younger brother, Sanjay, who had been groomed to succeed his mother before he died in a stunt plane crash.Rajiv never appeared in the national limelight in which his brother revelled.He was quiet, unassuming and apolitical.He had never figured in any political event or decision by his mother.“Few people could ever have foreseen that the quiet Indian Airlines pilot would be asked to steer the national ship within just a few years,” wrote columnist Sumer Kaul in the independent Indian Express newspaper.After he was elected to Parliament in June 1981, Gandhi hung back, seldom spoke on the floor, and when he did, he was unimpressive.He was known for his distaste for hurly-burly, dirty politics — and still is.But, even his critics acknowledge, he emerged as the most powerful man in the country, if not the most experienced.Since 1980 he has achieved national recognition through daily coverage in government-controlled news organs and by travelling extensively.He conscientiously has nurtured his parliamentary constituency, steering government-aid projects to his impoverished district.He visits it regularly and listens patiently to the complaints of his voters, including lepers and so-called untouchables.‘MR.CLEAN’ He is untarnished by corruption and has a powerful reputation for decency.Known to many as “Mr.Clean,” he set about the formidable task of trying to rid the flaccid Congress party of incompetence, dishonesty and cronyism.He became one of five general secretaries of the Congress party, but had more powers than the others because his mother was president of the party.Although he had no position in the gover- nment, he wielded considerable influence.Ministers and party officials who criticized him were ousted.He surrounded himself with a handpicked team of technocrats and professional managers and revamped the party administration, trying to whip it into shape.Many who were used to easy ways and privileges were disgruntled at being shunted out of the inner circle and required to produce results.As a result, Indian analysts say, there is a reservoir of resentment and jealousy in some party ranks.The party is solidly behind him now, in the hour of crisis.But there is no promise of wholehearted loyalty in the future Gandhi studied American-style management, introduced polling techniques and home computers.Many people are impressed that his office has a photocopying machine, still a rarity in India.As Indira Gandhi learned from her father, Nehru.Rajiv Gandhi learned from his mother.He shared her confidence and moved in the highest circles in the past four years.During his mother’s regime, the Indian political scene was described as “one hundred monkeys and a tigress.” Now, it is asked: “Will there be a hundred monkeys and a tiger?” Letters Very serious stuff To the Editor: This is serious stuff.To see a ‘‘Gone Fishin”’ sign on their suburban door is one thing — the worst that can result from these little lake-country excursions is to have to stand uncomfortably at work for a week because of a misplaced hook, or perhaps a hangover, however severe.But to see the fluorescent vests and hats and gloves and underwear (?) disappear off the shelves like Cabbage Patch Dolls, to see rifles in their pickup window racks and know they've only actually been used once so far this year and know that practice does make perfect: to see the circling skid marks and trail of crushed beer cans in the hay field and the tail lights of the jacked-up Nova SS — that’s another thing all together! And upon hearing six shots fired at close range in the space of thirty seconds and feel certain that even if there was a moose in your thirty-acre wood lot it wouldn't need such a barrage to down-it you begin to understand why even the neighbor refuses to call them the presumably more respectable term “hunter”, but Men With Guns.How ’bout Dangerous Men With Guns.Very serious stuff.RICHARD

(CP) — “Caroline, Benjamin and Mark Mulroney will be trick-or-treating in their neighborhood tomorrow evening,” Prime Minister Mulroney’s press office dutifully informed the media the day before Halloween.“They will leave Stornoway (their residence at the time) at 6:30 p.m.and return at 7:30 p.m.” Not earthshaking news, to be sure, but for a leader alert to the chance of favorable publicity it served its purpose.The result was in the nation's newspapers Nov.1 — photos of Mom and Dad, just like ordinary folks, shepherding the kids from door to door amidst other ghosts and goblins.But if Canadians are kept well informed on the Mulro-neys’ Halloween plans, that is often not the case in other areas — despite Mulroney’s campaign attacks on the secrecy he said marked the previous Liberal administration and his promise of an open government.“We’re not allowed to talk to the press or we get fired,” one minister’s chief of staff told an Ottawa newspaper last week, refusing even to say what his job entailed.Meanwhile, Auditor General Kenneth Dye complained in print Wednesday that “the Privy Council office has left instructions with all deputy ministers (involved) not to provide my office with the information I require to do my work” in the review of Petro-Canada’s purchase of Petrofina Canada Inc SAMPLES ABOUND Other examples abound: -Two days after issuing press releases on the agenda of a forthcoming meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Erik Nielsen, notorious for his dislike of reporters, the Canadian Organization of Small Business called a Toronto newspaper and asked it to “kill the release.” “The deputy prime minister’s office told me it didn’t want any press coverage of the meeting,” Vice-President Geoffrey Hale explained.-One of the organizers of training seminars for ministerial aides, Chester Burtt, says he is literally “bound by a contract" not to talk to reporters, no matter how innocuous the sessions may be.He won’t even say which department hired him."Maybe it’s their style of government, I don t know," he says when asked to explain.-A request to Mulroney’s press office for a copy of the Burtt contract goes unanswered after more than four weeks.This is the same Brian Mulroney who, in Kingston, Ont., during the election campaign, said secrecy, stealth and stonewalling had become the trademarks of the Liberal administration.Does this now mean he has adopted those trademarks himself after less than eight weeks in office’ Not necessarily, say two Ottawa consultants who because of their previous political incarnation might be expected to be more critical.I think it s difficult to look at a government that’s two months old and say that they have definitely fallen into one pattern or another,” says Peter O’Malley, former press secretary to New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent.Liberalism didn’t pay off anywhere Nov.7 By Tom McDougall HALIFAX (CP) — It isn't politically fashionable these days to be a Liberal, be it the small 1 or capital-L variety Two separate elections Tuesday, in the United States and Nova Scotia, dramati cally illustrate the point While U S.President Reagan was clob Bering his small 1 liberal opponent, Democrat Walter Mondale.Premier John Buchanan's Progressive Conservatives and Alexa McDonough's New Democrats in Nova Scotia were slicing the province’s capital-L Liberal caucus in half To ice the cake, Opposition Leader Sandy Cameron was personally defeated in his own riding PCS.NDI* GAIN The Conservatives won 42 seats, a net gain of four in the 52 seat legislature The Liberal caucus w as reduced to six from 12 while the NDP tripled its caucus to three members, all from central Nova Scotia, and leader Alexa McDonough substantially increased her majority in her own n ding.Paul MacEwan's Cape Breton Labor party never caught on.but he substantial ly increased his already strong majority in Cape Breton Nova, again reducing the candidate from his arch-enemy, the NDP, to a distant fourth.MacEwan, a 14-year member of the legislature, has been feuding bitterly with the NDP ever since the party expelled him in 1980.The poor Liberal showing came as no surprise but it was even worse than many had predicted The Liberals are at their lowest ebb since the 196,3 election, when Conservative premier Robert Stanfield reduced them to four members.Hut at least the Liberals of 1963 had the consolation that their party was in power federally and in three provinces.‘‘Liberalism isn’t dead in Canada, though l haven't done much for it tonight.' Cameron lamented NDP AT HEELS The Nova Scotia Liberals now are in a situation similar to that of their federal counterparts.They are still the official opposition.but the NDP is so close behind as to be staking a claim as the real opposition If an opposition's effectiveness is measured by legislature debate, the lea-derless Liberals will have difficulty keeping ahead of the NDP Aside from Came- ron, three other vocal debaters were defeated — Fraser Mooney of Yarmouth Jack Hawkins of Hants East and Ed Lorraine of Colchester North.Another, Hugh Tinkham of Argyle, did not seek re-election and the riding went Conservative Of the four re-lected Liberals, only Vince MacLean of Cape Breton South and William Gillis of Antigonish have reputations as hard-hitting debaters FUTURE INSECURE Cameron’s future as Liberal leader was not secure even before the election And the loss of his own seat has likely made his position untenable.He is well-liked personally and shines in face-to-face chats with rural voters.But he is the first to admit he is not a good public speaker.Political analyst Murray Beck of Dal-housie University said a Tory win was in-vevitable when the battle boiled down to a charisma contest among party leaders.“The Liberals have a nice man as leader, but I can 't think of anyone much more ineffective," Beck said The election showed again that Liberals no longer can rely on automatic support from Canada’s francophones.Clare, the most Acadian of all Nova Scotia ridings, fell to the Tories, as did Argyle and Inverness North, all with with substantial Acadian populations.The only consolation for the Liberals was that they regained a presence in metropolitan Halifax-Yartmouth and the South Shore.NO METRO SWING But the crucial grass-roots pendulum in metro ridings did not swing their way.Even a resounding victory has its drawbacks Beck says it will present Buchanan with a tough decision on the makeup of his new cabinet.The entire cabinet was re-elected, but Beck says the premier may feel obligated to promote some former back-benchers and new faces.Buchanan has come a long way since he was elected Conservative leader in 1971.The man who had to decide to stay at the helm after the party lost the 1974 election has grown into the job, "He has developed into a very effective politician,” says Beck "This man Buchanan has a way with people." < The RKt'ORO—Thursday.November 8.1984—5 Farm and business —_____ftei tcecora Municipalities go off on own over Sherbrooke fire department fees By Bobby Fisher ROCK FOREST — The municipalities of Rock Forest, Ascot Township and St.Elie d’Orford told the city of Sherbrooke what to do with its firehoses Tuesday night when a new tritown fire protection agreement was announced.The three municipalities will contract out a private company to handle their fire protection responsibilities, Rock Forest mayor Richard Gingras said.The move gives a clear and direct answer to Sherbooke coun- cil’s decision Monday night to reject a counter proposal from the three to its original contract offer.For its fire department’s services over the next five years, Sherbrooke asked the three municipalities $24 per capita, or $150,000 a year from Rock Forest, $33,000 from Ascot and $35,000 from St.Elie.Fleurimont residents pay about $20 per person for similar services and city councilors there agreed Monday to continue its deal with Sherbrooke.TOO COSTLY In unison, the three councils said the $24 price tag was unacceptable and last week undertook a study which came up with a figure of "about $12 per person,” according to Rock Forest councillor Yvon Cote That was the figure proposed to Sherbrooke council Monday night and it was rejected.Anticipating that sort of response, the three municipalities had set up negotiations with a private group which said it could offer two pump trucks, an equipment and rescue vehicle and “three full-time firemen for about $14 per resident,” according to Cote Fourteen dollars is the figure agreed upon with an annual increase of five percent for the next five years.The new service starts February 5.1985 “We couldn't pay more to Sherbrooke.It was too much,” said Cote, prior to the announcement of the new deal by Mayor Gingras.The Sherbrooke-based company which will watch over Rock Forest, Ascot and St.Elie is Securité 77,.Its director is Alain Prefontaine and his assistant is Jean Yves Forcier They claim that private sector fire protec- Energy, resources ministry to hold cone open house SHERBROOKE — Some people seem almost anxious to go out on a limb to spruce up a warehouse.At least that’s how the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Resources feels.This fall 455 workers collected over 50 million ‘pine’ cones, 60 per cent of which is stored in a warehouse on Talbot St.in the city’s east end.“It was an exception year (for cone-collecting),” say EMQ officials, who will use the cones for reforestation operations.The cones will be used to seed white, red and black spruce, Norway spruce, balsam fir and tamarac.Alone, the white spruce represents 47 million of the cones collected.Officials say the 50 million cones will seed 227 million ready plants at a cost of $300,000.The ministry’s 1988 reforestation objective stands at 300 million province-wide.The Townships figure is 15 million.The sight of over 25 million cones is as incredible as it sounds so the ministry is having an open house at the warehouse Sunday, November 11 from 1 to 3 p.m.There will be resource people there to answer questions.é # * i, • .* .* V?(v 2^ ,/' ¦ •’ * A r "

—The Confederation des Syndicats Nationaux (CSN) has formed an investigation committee to probe the declared bankruptcy of Sucraft Inc.The Farnham licorice manufacturing plant has been closed since last March.First, 46 CSN employees went out on strike for five months.Then, after owners Robert Lafave, Harvey Uline, and Pac-Tech agreed to a settlement, the workers found themselves locked out.Seven weeks passed without explanation.On September 17 the CSN demanded that Quebec investigate their suspicion that Sucraft was going out of business without giving the employees proper notice.September 19, the Royal Bank of Canada called in a loan to Sucraft of $410,000, leaving the firm $391,000 in debt.September 21, Sucraft formally declared bankruptcy.A creditors’ meeting held October 11 confirmed that Sucraft was indeed out of business, but CSN organizer Ge- rard Taylor says he isn't convinced that the closing is legitimate.He believes Sucraft is closing simply to avoid fulfilling their contract, and that the contract was negotiated be fore the closure to let Lafave, Uline, and Pak-Tech circumvent the Quebec labor code, which prohibits retaliatory closings.“This is Sucraft’s second bankrup tcy in seven years,” Taylor points out.“It is the same people.” He also charges that Uline used the same tactic against the CSN at another food processing plant located in Three Rivers.Not a capital-intensive operation, Sucraft occupied a rented warehouse, “so they had very little property invol ved to be losing money over,” Taylor adds.The CSN is not optimistic about the outcome of their investigation Taylor says the union’s priority at the mo ment is finding new jobs for 40 of the displaced workers.The remaining six have either already found employment or left the labor force.Business briefs OTTAWA (CP) — A proposal for cut-rate flights between Toronto and Prestwick, Scotland, will need the approval of the British government before Canada even starts to

continue to face low prices on world markets, the assistant chief commissioner of the Canadian Wheat Board said Wed nesday.Larry Kristjanson said the world's other major wheat exporting countries had bumper crops this year and that will keep prices depressed He said the F^uro-pean Economic Community grew its largest crop ever this year and the United States produced its third biggest.Kristjanson also told the annual meeting of Manitoba Pool Elevators that Australia ap pears headed for its sc cond largest harvest and Argentinian crops will likely be above average “Because of these large supplies it is dif fi cult to foresee any ma jor upward adjustment in price,” he said Canada has been the world's second largest exporter of wheat, after the United States.Wheat prices have ge nerally fallen during the last four years.On top of the low prices, drought has cut Prairie production of grains and oilseeds this year to about 36 million tonnes.16 per cent lower than last year Kristjanson said that means Canadian ex ports of wheat and five other major grains and oilseeds will only be about 21 million tonnes in 1984-85.That’s a far cry from the record of 30.3 million tonnes set in the year that ended July 31.He said the Wheat Board is concerned that the United States and the Europeans, who give their farmers the highest subsidies among exporting na tions, will get even more aggressive in competing for scarce markets."We hope that these big boys don't go after each other's shares of the export market through increased ex port subsidies — either hidden or direct.” m x ”

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.(AP) — Former pro football quarterback Joe Namath and actress Deborah Lynn Mays were married Wednesday in a private ceremony.Namath, 41, who in 1969 led the New York Jets to a Super Bowl upset over the Baltimore Colts, and Mays, 22, exchanged vows at the home of a mutual friend.It was the first marriage for both.Mays, from Elizabeth City, N.C., and Namath met last year in Los Angeles while both were taking voice lessons.They began dating in August 1983, he said.Namath led the University of Alabama to the U.S.national championship in 1964, and joined the Jets in 1965.He signed with Los Angeles Rams in 1977 but retired after the 1977-78 season, focusing his attention on an acting career.“It’s easier than a player picking up the phone and making 25 calls,” said Barry Rona, the counsel to major league baseball’s player relations committee, the owners’ bargaining unit The re-entry draft, a procedure of about IVi hours, is to begin at 11 a m.today with a few big names — pitchers Bruce Sutter and Rick Sutcliffe and hitters Fred Lynn, Andre Thornton and Dave Kingman — in the hopper.The draft became a part of baseball in 1976.Until 1981, a player could be drafted by no more than 13 teams and could negotiate only with them and the club for whom he had last played.But in the strike bound year of ’81, the collective bargaining agreement did away with that 13-team limitation.Any suspense, that a player might be drafted by the maximum number before some clubs got their shot, was gone.“We responded that once you take the limit off, you make the draft unnecessary because it provides all the clubs with the opportunity to select whoever they want” Rona said.“The players association couldn’t dispute that.“But they said the draft was still a good idea because it’s a barometer for the players, and the clubs, to know what interest there is in any particular player,” Rona said.“It’s more of a convenience to the players.” GAUGES INTEREST Rona said that with the draft, players have a starting point to gauge how much interest there is in them Or how little.Every year, some players are igno red and those picked by fewer than four teams are free to negotiate with all teams.Oscar Gamble is one example.He went through free agency in 1977, signed a hefty contract with San Diego, was traded after one year to Texas and later by the Rangers to New York Yankees.A year ago the designated hitter and first baseman went through free agency again, went undrafted and was re-signed by the Yanks.In 54 games in 1984 he hit 10 home runs and drove in 27 runs with a .185 average.He was in the free-agent pool again today, seeing who — if anyone — might be interested in him.“That’s really the only real remaining utility of the draft,” Rona said.“In the early days, you’d find a lot of top management people and scouts heavily involved.“There was a real art 10 drafting.Now it’s come down to some administrative assistant coming in with a list of names on a piece of paper ” Heroux gives Habs first road win HALIFAX (CP) — Sherbrooke Canadiens had a successful debut in their former arena Wednesday night with a 3-2 victory over Nova Scotia Oilers in an American Hockey League game.Last season, the Canadiens were the Nova Scotia Voyageuers but the parent Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League moved the team to Sherbrooke in the off-season.The Oilers, farm club of the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, are their replacement.Alain Heroux redirected a shot from the point for his second goal of the night and the game-winner at 15:19, snapping Nova Scotia’s string of four consecutive home ice wins.Randy Bucyk also scored for Sherbrooke.Archie Henderson and Marc Habs-cheid answered for the Oilers.Neither team scored in the opening period as goaltenders Greg Moffet of Sherbrooke and Mark Holden for Nova Scotia were both sharp.The two, team mates the last three seasons in Halifax and both candidates for a backup role with Montrteal at the start of his season, turned aside six and nine shots, respectively.Henderson opened scoring at 4:44 of the second period but Heroux drew the Canadiens even at 9:06.Sherbrooke took the lead at 10:12 on a power play goal by Bucyk.The teams began the third period with Sherbrooke in front 2-1.Habscheid fired his seventh goal of the season at 7:26 setting the stage for Heroux’s heroics.“I’ll take that win on the road,” Sherbrooke coach Pierre Creamer said.“We have to keep taking advantage of our speed.” Heroux said he feels he performs better on the road.Especially when the road is at home in Halifax.“It’s true I feel better at home than I do on the road,” he said.“I like playing here.Last year, after a mediocre season in junior, I felt a lot better playing in Halifax.” The Canadiens dominated the third period outshooting the Oilers 16-7.In all Sherbrooke outshot Nova Scotia 29-22 before 2,762 fans at the Metro Centre, the second-largest crowd of the season.The victory improves Sherbrooke’s won-lost-tied record to 6-7-1 and puts the Canadiens in a tie for fourth place in the Northern Divison with Moncton Golden Flames, two points behind the Oilers, 6-5-3.Another point up are Fredericton Express and Maine Mariners.The Canadiens play again tonight in Fredericton against the Express.In other games, it was: Baltimore Skipjacks 5, Rochester Americans 3; Springfield Indians 2, New Haven Nighthawks 2; Hershey Bears 5, Binghamton Whalers 2, and Moncton Golden Flames 4, Adirondack Red Wings 2.Skipjacks 5 Amerks 3 2 3 4 5 « 7 SCORE 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 161718 ; Î It may be a slow climb, but Baltimore, last season’s Southern Division leaders, are trying hard not to remain on the bottom rungs of the ladder.Baltimore handed Rochester, the current Southern Division leader, a second consecutive defeat.The Americans had started the AHL season with 11 straight victories and a tie.The Skipjacks, 4-6-2, now have won two of their last three games and are tied for third in the division with New Haven and Hershey, all with 10 points.Binghamton is second with 14 and Rochester leads with 23.Tim Tookey’s breakaway goal put the Skipjacks ahead 4-3 midway through the third period.Baltimore held leads of 1-0 and 3-2, but Rochester, 11-2-1, tied the score on Randy Cunneyworth’s power-play goal at 1:44 of the third period.Golden Flames 4 Red Wings 2 Pierre Rioux scored two goals and assisted on another to lead Moncton past Adirondack.Dale Degray broke a 2-2 tie with a goal early in the third period and Rioux scored his second goal into an open net with five seconds remaining.Claude Loiselle and Rioux traded goals in the first period.Ted Speers gave the Wings a 2-1 lead in the second period, but Moncton tied the game on a goal by Mike Clayton.Indians 2 Nighthawks 2 A second-period goal by Grant Le-dyard gave New Haven the tie with Springfield that stood up through a scoreless overtime.New Haven got both of its goals on power plays as team scoring leader Bill O’Dwyer picked up his fifth goal of the year.The Sutton Curling Club is usually full of members on almost any given night of the week.Kit 1 ml' W II I I4M ItkHRIS Sutton Curling Club: Success with luck By William Harris SUTTON —- Curling isn’t exactly the most popular sport in the Eastern Townships.It never has been, to be perfectly honest.Curling clubs in the area historically struggle to stay afloat in a mass sea of indifference and apathy.As always, however, there are exceptions to the rule One such exception can be found right in the middle of Sutton.Since its founding in 1947, the Sutton Curling Club has been one of the most popular and successful curling centres in the area.Even in recent years, with several neighboring clubs virtually self destructing, the Sutton organization has continued to thrive “It’s hard to pinpoint the one ma jor reason for our success,” says Karl Kolatschak, one of the club's 1984 directors “We’ve somehow always managed to attract the in terest of the various local busi nesses and businessmen We’ve always felt that this local involvement is critical." BIG ON RECRUITS Kolatschak also credits Sutton's success to an aggressive style of membership recruiting.“It’s not enough just to put an advertisement about an ‘open house’ in the newspaper,” he says.“You literally have to grab people by the collar and shove them onto the ice to try the sport.It’s amazing how many people who never thought they’d like curling eventually become some of our most enthusiastic members." In several areas of the province the actual number of French Canadians involved in curling is tradi tionally low With this in mind, it’s not too hard to analyze at least one element in Sutton’s success: they seem to have cracked the French Canadian barrier, at least in their own town “Sutton is a small, bilingual vil lage,”says Kolatschak “Everybo dy knows everybody else, and we therefore have a good mix of English and French at our curling club That old story that the French don’t take to curling doesn't hold true in Sutton.Just take a quick look at one of our draws; there are usually more French names than English names.” Another element that most clubs in the immediate area lack is an active junior curling program.Once again.Sutton seems to be an exception.Junior Chairman Tom Boulton credits the club’s location as the main reason for Sutton’s success in recruiting junior curlers."Our club is right in the center of town,” he says.“The local kids can drop by anytime because most of them are within reasonable walking distance.They don't have to rely on anybody else for transportation." NOT TROUBLE-FREE All this is not to say that the Sut ton Curling Club is without its pro blems.Like several clubs in the Eastern Townships, Sutton suffers from a lack of women members, especially those of the younger va riety.In recent years certain wo men curlers throughout the pro vince have complained that some ladies curling programs are insensitive to the needs of young, working women."I don’t really know what the problem is," says Kolatschak.“All I know is that we could certainly use some more ladies at Sutton." Despite this setback, however, the Sutton Curling Club continues to operate at almost full capacity every year."We only have two sheets of ice and a very small clubhouse," says Kolatschak “I know that as far as the men’s section is concerned, we couldn’t handle any more than the 100 members we already have If only we had Cowansville’s clubhouse on our location then we'd be laughing!" STILL THE SAME In total Sutton's membership hasn't increased over last year but it hasn't decreased either.“There are several people who have paid their membership, but who can’t curl until after Christmas.” says Kolatschak."As far as dollars are concerned we stay even, but if nobody wanted to curl until after Christmas, we wouldn't have much of a club, would we?” Still, the Sutton Curling Club continues to he one of the area's oddest success stories.The ultimate symbol of the club's luck and success has to be its original 1947 ice machine.While certain clubs spend fortunes every year on the reparation and maintenance of their freezing units, the Sutton club has operated for almost four decades with an antique freezing unit from an old freighter ship.“We’ve only had to make a few minor repairs in all that time,” laugh Kolatschak and Boulton.With luck like that, no wonder they’re successful.Big Hoss rides back to Expos fold after Texas stint MONTREAL(CP) —First baseman Dave Hostetler, formerly a prize prospect in the Montreal farm system, returned to the National League Tigers divvy up World Series shares Alain Heroux.Pair of goals.NEW YORK (AP) — Champion Detroit Tigers voted 29 full shares of $51,381 and San Diego Padres 31 full shares of $42,425 from the World Series baseball players’ pool of $5,472,233, commissioner Peter Ueberroth’s office said in a release Wednesday.The players’ pool — which comes out of total net receipts of $6,776,564 from the World Series plus $4,371,918 from the playoffs — is divided among the four division champions (including the World Series teams) and the second-place and third-place teams in each division.The players share in the gate receipts from the first three playoff games and first four World Series games.The Tigers’ share was $1,970,003 and the Padres’ $1,477,502.Along with the 29 full shares, Detroit's players voted full or partial shares or cash grants to 13 uniformed and 40 non-uniformed personnel The Padres voted 17 full or partial shares or cash grants to 17 uniformed or non-uniformed personnel.baseball team Wednesday after the Expos acquired him from Texas Ran gers in a trade for pitcher Chris Welsh.A third-round selection by the Expos in the 1978 June draft of amateur players, Hostetler, 28, was dealt to the Rangers of the American League, along with third baseman Larry Bar rish, in a March, 1982 trade that saw Montreal acquire first baseman A1 Oliver.Hostetler, a right handed batter, led the Class AA Southern League in runs batted in with 114 while playing with the Expos' affiliate in Memphis in 1979.He followed that with a 27 home run-103 RBI performance with the Class AAA Denver Bears in 1981.He had one homer in six big-league at-bats when the Expos traded him to Texas, where he belted 22 homers in 1982.But his production declined to 11 homers in 1983 and only three homers and 10 RBls in 37 games last season.He spent most of the year in the mi nors.Hostetler has been placed on the roster of Indianapolis Indians, the Ex pos Class AAA affiliate.The left-handed throwing Welsh, who pitched briefly for Montreal m 1983, had a 13-4 won-lost record at In dianapolis last season, but he clearly did not fit into the Expos’ plans The Expos also added two players to their 40-man winter roster Wednes day — pitcher Tim Cates and shorts top Luis Rivera.Cates finished the season at Indianapolis, showing a 4.76 ERA in 21 games, while Rivera had a .228 batting average, with six homers and 43 RBls with the Class A West Balm Beach Expos.• MONTREAL ((’B* The Grapefruit League
