week's tornadoes in central Ontario are putting their lives together again.A relief fund in aid of the victims has raised more than $300,000 locally in little more than two days — not including expected corporate donations, efforts by other groups and contributions from out of town — and steps have been taken to speed up unemployment insurance benefits.As well, the Ontario government has promised to give $3 for every $1 raised through donations.Twelve people, eight of them from Barrie, were killed by the tornadoes, which also injured more than 300 and left about 500 families homeless.Many other people were left without jobs when their places of work were levelled as the storm tore through the city and outlying districts Friday.Besides the outpouring of financial support, the community has also been given moral support from residents of Woodstock, Ont., who survived a tornado’six years ago in which two people were killed, 142 injured and numerous homes destroyed.“Everybody out here, their hearts just ache for those people,” Woodstock resident Mary Mowat said.But Mowat, who lost her home in the tornado, and others affected by that storm said Barrie-area residents can count on the generosity of people from across Canada for assistance.The Woodstock tornado struck on Aug.7, 1979.Donations started pouring into the fund by the end of September, and by December $3.8 million had been raised.Mowat encouraged residents of the Barrie area not to give up hope, but said memories would still be painful.“The tornado has left its own legacy in the minds of its victims.I don’t think anyone out here will ever forget it.Any time there’s a storm you think ‘This is it.’” Advance payments of unemployment insurance benefits are being made available to Barrie-area people left jobless when 24 businesses were destroyed in the tornado.An army of insurance adjusters has provided most of the homeless with enough money for a roof over their head, clothing and food.Building contractors have flocked to the devastated areas.Waving a fistful of business cards, Paul Shanahan said he has had 11 or 12 contractors approach him in just one day.Byelection losses and polls don’t make Levesque move By Linda Drouin QUEBEC (CP) — Premier René Lévesque kept everyone guessing about his political future Wednesday as a new public-opinion poll suggested the Parti Québécois would have a better chance in an election if he resigns.The poll, published in the Montreal daily La Presse two days after the PQ lost four provincial byelections, suggested that with a new leader the PQ would gain 10 per- BERKELEY, Calif.(Reuter) — A 10-year study by American scientists has turned up strong new evidence that there is a black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, the University of California at Berkeley said today.By measuring the speed at which clumps and streams of gas are swirling around the centre of the galaxy, physicists and astronomers here have deduced that an object four times the mass of the sun lies at that centre.The study relied on advances in measurement of invisible infrared light.The Berkeley team made the observations from instruments mounted aboard an airplane flown by the U.S.space agency and from a telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.centage points in voter support.With Lévesque as leader, only 32.3 per cent of those questioned said they would vote for the PQ.compared to 59.5 for the Liberals.But if the PQ chose a new leader, 42.3 per cent said they would have voted or been tempted to vote for the party, while Liberal support would drop to 50.6 per cent.The poll was taken in April.Open criticism of Lévesque’s leadership has been muted since Monday 's byelections in anticipa- The findings of the eight-member team led by Nobel physics laureate Charles Townes are being reported in the latest issue of the British science journal Nature.Black holes, hypothetical “forbidden zones” from which nothing can escape and where all physical laws break down, have a gravitational pull so great that nothing, not even light, can escape.Many scientists have studied puzzling signals from the region of the galaxy’s centre and theorized that the signals were caused by radiation from objects falling into the pull of a black hole.But the Berkeley scientists said in a statement previous evidence supporting the theory of a black hole has not been clear-cut.Instead of focusing on the si- tion that the premier will step down — something many caucus and party members have said can’t be avoided in the wake of the byelection rout.Several of Levesque’s cabinet ministers said Tuesday that while the decision must be left to the premier, delaying it much longer will cripple the party’s chances in the next election, expected in the fall.Francine Lalonde, who resigned as status of women minister Wednesday after being defeated by Li- gnais, the Berkeley scientists relied on the principle that material circling a single massive object in space decreases in velocity the farther its orbit is from the object.They said their measurements of the speed at which gas was circling the centre of the galaxy in various orbits confirmed the existence of a black hole.“With this new evidence, the case for a black hole now seems quite convincing,” said Townes.“Of course we must all continue to examine it.” The centre of the galaxy is 30,000 light years from Earth.Until now, the scientists said, astronomers had been limited for technical reasons from making accurate infrared measurements at that distance.beral Leader Robert Bourassa, said she will be a candidate in Bertrand in the next election and “would have no problem fighting an election with him (Lévesque)” as leader.BLAME THEIR SINS She told reporters that Lévesque has been made a scapegoat for four years of hard economic times in Quebec "because people want to blame their sins on someone." The leadership issue exists, she said, “you can’t say it doesn’t, but 1 Budget is fairness— By Ann Duncan MONTREAL (CP) - Prime Minister Brian Mulroney acknowled ged Wednesday that his gover nment’s maiden budget contained “imperfections" but warned pensioners they will have to bite the financial bullet until the Canadian economy improves.But besides defending the budget during his carefully-orchestrated one-day tour, Mulroney was confronted with a leaked Senate committee report that was sharply critical of Israel and Liberal accusations of patronage against Justice Minister John Crosbie.“This budget is about fairness,” Mulroney told about 1,000 promi nent guests at the annual Israel Bonds Dinner."We are bringing order to federal finances as all Ca nadians know we must.” He said the government would not retreat from the budget’s heavily-criticized measure of not tying old-age pensions to inflation rates.Mulroney said the massive federal deficit would have to be reduced and jobs created before the government could consider raising pensions and cutting taxes for the aged.Before his speech, Mulroney told reporters he was concerned about the “orientation” of a Liberal-dominated Senate foreign affairs committee that had produced a report which criticized Israel and sympathized with the Palestine Liberation Organization.UNFAIR TO ISRAEL?Mulroney said he had not yet read the report, which was leaked earlier on Wednesday to The Cana dian Press, but said his concerns included, “the possibility of unfairness to Israel.” The report, to be released later this month, calls for the withdrawal of Jewish settlements from Israeli-occupied territories and accuses Israel of imposing stiff controls on the political and economic activity of 1.3-million Palesti- respect and like him (Lévesque) enormously.” She said door-to-door campaigning convinced her voters are more unhappy with the economy than with Levesque's leadership.The ridings lost by the PQ on Monday were all considered party strongholds and were previously held by three cabinet ministers and a former minister who resigned over Lévesque’s decision to See “NO”, page 2 all about Mulroney Mulroney.bringing order.nians living on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.Neither Liberal Opposition Leader John Turner, nor Liberal external affairs critic Jean Chretien, both also attending the Israel Bond gala, would comment on the report.At the dinner, Mulroney reiterated his government’s support for Israel, while acknowledging “the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.” Mulroney also vowed to be “unrelenting” in t he pursuit of any Second World War criminals living in Canada and be tough on hate-mongers.DEFENDS CROSBIE Earlier Wednesday, Mulroney, accompanied by his wife, Mila, and their three children — Caroline, Benedict and Mark — defended Crosbie against Liberal charges of favoritism, saying he is “a man of unimpeachable integrity and unsullied honor.” Crosbie has denounced as “cowardly, despicable, dastardly” Liberal charges of patronage in the government’s hiring of two Newfoundland law firms that employ his sons, Michael and Chesley.Crosbie later announced that his sons had asked that the appointment of the two firms be withdrawn, and Mulroney said Cros-bie’s response should be satisfactory.U RECORD/PKRRY BEATON Postal workers have friends!

The longer the Parti Québécois waits to call an election in Quebec, the more it risks disappearing completely as a political force, Quebec Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa said Wednesday.“The more (Premier René) Lévesque waits, the bigger the risk that they will compromise their existence,” Bourassa told an audience of financiers and investment analysts at the Centre for Inter-American Relations.“The more they wait, the worse it will be,” he told reporters later, commenting on the Liberals’ sweep of four byelections Monday from the PQ, including his own victory in the riding of Bertrand.“On the other hand if they go (to the polls) immediately, they stand to be defeated.If a vote were held today, we would have won just about every seat,” the former premier said.With the defeats and earlier defections by members angry with the party’s abandonment of its Quebec independence platform, Lévesque’s margin in the National Assembly has been reduced to one, four years into his mandate.Another seat remains vacant, and a byelection must be called to fill it by November if a provincial election is not called first.But Bourassa said his main purpose in speaking was to sell a new phase of Quebec hydroelectric development to the New York financial community, which will be asked to put up the $25 billion he estimates it will cost to produce 12,000 megawatts for export to the United States.After his presentation, Bourassa signed copies of his book.Power from the North, which outlines the project as well as a related $100-billion plan to turn James Bay into a fresh water reservoir for eventual water exports.Engineering and construction companies such as San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp.and Montreal’s SNC and Lavalin groups — which stand to win major contracts from a second James Bay development — have already shown interest in the project, and are funding feasibility studies.The investment bankers attending the luncheon also appeared interested in Bouras-sa’s plan.“I’m trying to prepare for the future,” he told reporters later, explaining his visit.By the time he becomes premier.Bourassa said confidently, “some work will have been done in assuring those who are interested in financing the pro ject." DRAWS LARGE CROWD His speech attracted an unusually large audience, which included financier David Rockefeller, the chairman of the centre but a rare participant in events organized by its Canadian affairs program.In introducing Bourassa, Rockefeller noted he had known the Liberal leader for more than 15 years, and that his bank, the Chase Manhattan, had “identified with the first phase of the James Bay project." Bourassa said later the main obstacle to his project — apart from his winning the next provincial election — was not in organizing financing but in assuring potential U.S.customers of the security of the supply of Quebec power.The U.S.coal and nuclear power industries, the American interests most opposed to further imports of Canadian hydroelectricity, have focussed their lobbying campaigns on the risks of depending on foreign sources of energy.Importing electricity also posed “a problem at the political level in the United States because of the jobs that would be lost in those in dustries, the Liberal leader admit ted.But the savings of buying Quebec power — currently three to four times cheaper than power generated locally in the northeastern United States — easily compensate for the jobs lost Americans, he said.POSSIBLE U.S ROLE Bourassa was critical of the Par ti Québécois for not seizing the opportunity to encourage firm power sales to the United States in 1979 after the incident at the Three M ile Island nuclear-power plant in Pennsylvania.He said he had tried to persuade the government at the time, but was told Quebec had no power surplus.“Suddenly a year ago they changed their mind,” he said.“They lost five or six years that would have saved a lot of problems for both countries.“It was a mistake and they’re paying for it now.” He told his audience he is opposed to “privatizing” part of Hydro-Quebec as a means of raising development capital, as has been proposed by the Quebec government.But he told reporters he would be willing to consider bringing American partners into the project on a “temporary” basis if it met their concerns about security of supply.“If this was the only point which stands between their participation in the project, then we will see what could be done,” Bourassa said, suggesting U.S.partners in the development might be offered a “minority position for 10 or 15 years.” I 1 2—The REC()RI>—Thursday, June 6, 1985 GM superpurchase of Hughes means more By Edward Miller NEW YORK!AP) —General Motors Corp.'s willingness to spend $5 billion for Hughes Aircraft Co.can be explained by looking under the hood of a new car.“The cost of computers and electronics will be $1,200 a car by 1990 compared with $500 today," auto industry analyst Arthur Davis said.“I think GM wants to make sure it has the right pieces.” GM Chairman Roger Smith announced Wednesday his company has won the countrywide blind bidding for Hughes, offering $2.7 billion cash and more than $2.3 billion in stock for the defence electronics specialist.GM’s biggest domestic rival, Ford Motor Co., and Boeing Co.also were prime bidders.Thomas O’Grady, a senior director of the research firm Chase Automotive Services, said GM went for Hughes as a way to improve its electronics quickly in the face of mounting competition from imported Japanese cars, which carry a significant cost advantage and are growing in sophistication.Aerospace, O’Grady said, “has been geared toward high tech for a long time because of competition and investment funding from the government.” For that reason, he expects Ford to shop for another aerospace partner.“The Japanese have the lead in automotive electronics,” said John Hammond, senior economist and automotive industry analyst at Data Resources Inc.in Lexington, Mass.“They were already leading in automotive design.” USE COMPUTERS Automakers today are using computers and miniature electronics systems for precise control of emissions and gasoline use on fuel-injected engines.Use of electronics in transmissions and for exotic options such as satellite navigation systems are coming.GM also may count on Hughes for help in the electronic retooling of its vast system of 34 North Ame- rican assembly plants and 100-plus parts plants as the automaker steps up its use of robots and automated machines and the mating of those systems with computers.GM’s most advanced system has its debut this fall when its new assembly plant opens in Detroit.There, a microchip bearing a customer’s order for, say, a red Buick Riviera with an assortment of options, will be attached to the raw metal shell of the car.As the car body moves through the assembly plant, computers will read the chip's message and apply the ap propriate paint and get the right parts for that car.The system is so sophisticated high-tech on wheels that, if the car is to have two-tone paint, a computer will route the car off the assembly line and back through the paint shop, where robots will read the chip again and apply the second paint color.Parts suppliers at GM divisions and outside companies will be tapped into the same computers to have their orders filled.HANDLE DATA CHORES That kind of technology has been made possible by GM’s $2.5-billion acquisition last fall of Electronic Data Systems Corp., a computer services company that also is handling GM’s big data processing chores, from computer design of cars to handling the health care claims of 750,000 employees worl dwide.Industry analysts disagree on whether Hughes is a good partner for GM.David Healy of Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc.in New York said Hughes will not contribute significantly to GM’s earnings and that, in manufacturing, the two have little in common.Consumer advocate Ralph Nader criticized the linkup because of Hughes’s status as the seventh-largestU.S.defence contractor.In an interview, Nader said GM was “using the windfall profits of the (Japanese) auto import quotas to acquire other companies instead of improving the quality of their automobiles.” Tories won’t back off on index plan — Wilson MONTREAL (CP) — Finance Minister Michael Wilson stood firm Wednesday on what is emerging as the most controversial part of his budget, a measure to reduce the indexing of old-age pensions.“There is no question of backing down,” Wilson told reporters after a Canadian Club luncheon.“This budget stands.” Allan McKinnon, the 68-year-old MP for Victoria, and Gabrielle Bertrand, MP for Brome Missis-qoui and parliamentary secretary to Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp, are among several Conservative back-benchers who have spoken out against the budget measure.“I don’t make any comments on anything that happens in caucus but no budget is ever one way,” Wilson said.The business audience at the luncheon did not snicker at the minister’s defence of his budget as an economists' meeting did here last week, when Wilson remarked that Canada has an “acute shortage of rich people." The partial indexing proposal means pensioners will not have their benefits indexed to cover the first three per cent of inflation.COURSE IS SET “We’ll review this matter in future as conditions and our financial resources permit but I would say to you that we’ve set our course in this budget of creating jobs and getting control of the national debt," he said.Later, Wilson received encou-ragment for the de-indexing plan from the Conseil du patronat, a Quebec employers’ group.Sebastien Allard, president of the Conseil, said after a meeting with Wilson that the minister hadn't gone far enough in his budget, and suggested he should have trimmed $5 billion from spending, rather than the the $1.5 billion that was cut.“I don’t think they can get out of this mess without doing something about social programs which represent a good part of the total budget,” Allard said."We feel that he should have gone further, but we have to recognize that politically it was difficult and they’ve changed the trend which is good.“The way to do more is to look at social programs,” Allard said.Lévesque releases PM’s letter that says little QUEBEC (CP) — Premier René Lévesque’s office Wednesday released a letter from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney acknowledging receipt of Quebec’s proposals for signing the 1982 Constitution Act.While the prime minister’s letter said Lévesque’s proposals will receive “in-depth study,” it gave no indication that Quebec’s demands for sweeping new powers as a condition for signing the Constitution were acceptable.“Once we have looked more closely at the Quebec proposals, we’ll be in a position to suggest a process leading to a constitutional agreement that we both want," Mulroney wrote.“Once again I thank you for the delicate gesture you made toward me by sending me a copy of the Quebec proposals.I assure you.that I welcome them with all the seriousness and attention they deserve.” Lévesque is asking for recognition of Quebec as a distinct society and exclusive jurisdiction over language matters.He also wants near-total exemption from the Canadian Charter of Rights, saying the Quebec Charter of Rights should apply in the province.In his reply to Mulroney, Lévesque acknowledged a recent statement by Mulroney in which the prime minister said Quebec has an “obviously distinct” character."You demonstrated an openness of mind which seems to me to augur well for the future of things,” Lévesque wrote.The premier also noted that during a recent telephone conversation, Mulroney raised the possibility of a meeting between the two leaders some time in the future.No election yet — René Continued from page 1 scrap independence from the party’s electoral platform.In his first appearance in the legislature since the byelections.Lévesque told the Opposition Liberals Wednesday that he won’t bow to their demands for an immediate provincial election.He said the four byelections, which will bring Bourassa back into the National Assembly next week, “were the most severe lesson we’ve been dealt since the start of our scoring in byelections." He was referring to his party’s 26 byelection losses since 1976.“After 26 times I find it hard to find something to say on the subject," a laconic Lévesque told Opposition Leader Gerard D.Lévesque who was challenging him to call an election “as soon as possible.” “One thing is certain,” the premier said.“If as soon as possible means right now, the answer is no.” Lévesque has been avoiding meetings with reporters since the byelections, using a private passage to enter and leave the main legislative chamber.#1___fagl nocora George MacLaren, Publisher 569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor 569-6345 Lloyd

government, met in Montreal Tuesday to discuss the contract that is scheduled to put 400 employees to work for seven months.Alleged drug leader arraigned MONTREAL (CP) — A man alleged to have masterminded an international heroinsmuggling ring that used a Belgian diplomat as a courier was arraigned in Quebec Superior Court Wednesday.Police said the ring, which smuggled $44-million worth of heroin into New York in diplomatic pouches, included the diplomat, four Indian nationals and organized crime figures living in the United States.The RCMP arrested Mehtab Singh Gulati.50, of India, Tuesday as he left a Montreal hotel to catch a flight to London.He did not ask for bail and a date will be set today for a hearing on a request to extradite him to the United States.PS strike rights limited QUEBEC (CP) — By a vote of 60 to 46 Wednesday the provincial legislature passed in second reading a law severely limiting the right to strike of Quebec public servants.The law also leaves it up to an outside research institute to establish salary categories after comparing public service wages with those in private industry.The opposition Liberals and five independent members, all of them former members of the governing Parti Québécois, voted against the measure.Two independent members, Gilles Grégoire (Frontenac) and Jerome Proulx (St-Jean), supported the government.Service, not control for anglos QUEBEC (CP) — Justice Minister Pierre-Marc Johnson said Wednesday that Quebec’s anglophone minority will receive health and social services in English but cannot expect control of the institutions providing them.He said the control of health and social service institutions by a linguistic group and the guarantee of English-language services in these institutions to English-Quebecers are two very different matters.He was commenting on a statement by Al-liance-Quebec, the Anglo-Quebec pressure group, which said Tuesday it is prepared to go to the courts to fight for continued anglophone control over the English community's health and social services.Union Nationale leader to quit TROIS-RIVIERES, Que.(CP) — Jean-Marc Beliveau said Wednesday he will resign as lea der of the once-mighty Union Nationale party in the wake of his third-place finish in a Quebec byelection Monday.Beliveau, who has led the party since 1982, said in an interview with radio station CHLN that he will formally announce his resignation after he meets with the party executive Saturday.He ran a tight third in Trois-Rivières riding Monday night with about 16 per cent of the vote, just behind the popular support won by the Parti Québécois candidate.Liberal Paul Philibert won with 67 per cent of the vote.Pork producers can’t agree OTTAWA (CP) — The country’s pork producers are split over federal legislation to establish a new income stabilization plan for all farmers, Howard Malcolm, president of the Canadian Pork Council, said Wednesday.Malcolm said the council has tried for two years to resolve the issue but has failed to find common ground on a key provision in the bill to create tripartite stabilization.Farmers and the federal and provincial governments would pay equal amounts into a fund that would make payments to producers when prices for their products fall sharply.MP takes back criticism OTTAWA (CP) — Liberal John Nunziata on Wednesday “completely and unequivocally” retracted criticisms of Commons Speaker John Bosley he made in a weekend radio interview.Nunziata said in the Newsradio interview: “As far as (Liberal MPs) are concerned, (Bosley’s) not being fair.” Criticism of a Speaker’s impartiality is considered a Commons taboo.Nunziata said he apologized after reconsidering his remarks, and denied the Liberal caucus put pressure on him to retract the statements.Forces to create jobs OTTAWA (CP) — The Defence Department has allocated $60 million to create about 6,000 new jobs this year at Canadian Forces bases and stations across Canada by extending a youth training and employment program and renewing a civilian temporary employment program.A department news release said Wednesday $32 million will allow 2,500 men and women aged 17 to 25 to receive the training and work experience they need to find permanent jobs.Participants receiveone ; ear of full-time training and service with the regular forces, including basic military training and learning skills and trades for positions such as mechanic, medical assistant and finance clerk.Alcoholism treated inadequately TORONTO (CP) — Alcoholism is Canada’s third most prevalent ailment after heart disease and cancer, but many physicians still dismiss it as a social disease and governments refuse to fund affordable treatment centres, an Ontario Medical Association meeting was told Wednesday.“Our knowledge is based on a lack of understanding,” said Zoltan Poznan, chairman of a discussion on addiction, alcohol and drug-related problems.Doctors often feel ill-prepared and uncomfortable dealing with alcoholics, he said, and as a result, 85 per cent of alcoholics never receive medical treatment for their illness.Medical schools devote a "pitifully small” amount of time to the subject, Poznan said.Hog farmers fight import ban WINNIPEG (CP) —- The federal government has advised hog farmers to take several American states to court for blocking imports of Canadian livestock.A Telex to provincial officials from the External Affairs Department said Wednesday provincial marketing boards have the best chance of pursuing a case in American courts.South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin starting blocking imports of all livestock from Canada last month because this country allows the use of an antibiotic that is banned in the United States.However, Canadian producers have said the real reason for the blockade is that the states want to protect their depressed hog markets.Government meets in school gym RANKIN INLET, N.W.T.(CP)—The elementary school gymnasium in this Inuit community was turned into a temporary legislative assembly Wednesday.The 24 members of the assembly and an entourage of assistants and bureaucrats, as well as the speaker’s chair and mace, have moved in for a session expected to last 10 days.The territorial assembly, which usually makes its headquarters in a Yellowknife hotel banquet room, travels once a year to give people in far-flung communities an opportunity to see the government at work.Rankin Inlet, a community of about 1,500 on the west coast of Hudson Bay, is about 1,100 air kilometres from Yellowknife.Bill to reduce acid rain WASHINGTON (AP) — Acid-rain legislation that would require reduced sulphur dioxide emissions in the eastern half of the United States was introduced in the House of Representatives Wednesday by two western congressmen However, the measure was not expected to break the regional and economic deadlock that has prevented agreement in Congress on a way of attacking the problem of acid rain, which is caused principally by emissions from coal-fired boilers.The bill, sponsored by interior committee chairman Morris Udall (D-Ariz.) and Representative Dick Cheney (R-Wyo.), chairman of the House Republican policy committee, is a slightly reworked version of one they introduced in 1983.Canada supports electric project MANAGUA (AP) — A Canadian cabinet minister signed an Ill-million loan agreement Wednesday allowing the Sandinista government to move ahead on a major geothermal electric project.Monique Vezina, Canadian minister for external relations, said at the ceremony the economic co-operation agreement “constitutes for us a contribution to development and peace.” Nicaragua moved its foreign trade office to Toronto from Miami after President Ronald Reagan announced May 1 an embargo on U.S.-Nicaraguan commerce.Assassination trial set ST.GEORGE’S (Reuter) — Grenada’s chief justice, Sir Archibald Nedd, said Wednesday that June 27 has been set for the start of the long-delayed trial of 19 former leftist leaders accused of murdering Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.Bishop’s death in an Oct.19, 1983, coup by factions of his ruling People’s Revolutionary Government led to a U.S.-led invasion of the Caribbean island a week later.Nedd said the accused will be represented in the High Court trial by the same defence team as in preliminary hearings last year.Pope attacker trained as terrorist ROME (AP) — Mehmet Ali Agca, the man convicted of trying to kill the Pope, told a court today that he was trained as a terrorist in Syria by Bulgarian and Czechoslovak experts and claimed the Soviet Union is the centre of international terrorism.Three Bulgarians and four Turks are on trial on charges of complicity with Agca in the May 13,1981, shooting of Pope John Paul.Agca is the main witness against them.“In 1977, I was in Syria, in Latakia, where I was trained with a group of friends, Grey Wolves, by Bulgarian and Czech experts,” he said, alternating between Italian and Turkish through an interpreter.The Grey Wolves were a group of right-wing Turkish terrorists.Weather Doonesbury BY GARRY TRUDEAU Scattered

The starving are too weak to begin full-scale farming and immediately raise their standard of living.Gascon is a projects officer for Development and Peace, a Canadian Roman Catholic organization with connections in most dioceses.She told a Sherbrooke group of her experiences at a meeting Wednesday.She presents a telling picture of northern Ethiopia, perhaps the worst-hit area of the continent.Almost all media coverage of the famine presented footage from the north, she says, not accurately reflecting the damage in other countries but at least prompting action.Despite the need, only nongovernmental relief organizations (NGOs) work in northern Ethiopia.MASS RELOCATION The Ethiopian government has been sponsoring the mass relocation of its citizens to less arid central and southern lands within the country.An Ethiopian official came up to me and said (about the north) ‘It's hopeless.Everything is finished, burnt, lost.' I told him my information said otherwise.He ended up agreeing with me,” Gascon recalls.Although the Soviet Union signed a friendship treaty with Ethiopia in 1973, the Russians have been criticized for paying more attention to arms shipments than food, preferring to help the self-proclaimed socialist Ethiopian government defend itself from warring factions within the country (mostly based in the northern province of Eritrea).“Often, famines are used as political tools," Gascon says.But lately the Soviets have been helping with the relief effort, Gascon adds.They've been funding the relocation program."2.2 million people were displaced,” she says, "and hundreds of thousands are in Sudan, trickling back in.But they are so weak they can only work very slowly.” OTHERS AT FAULT TOO The Soviet Union is not the only Foreign aid specialist (laetane Gascon told a Sher- Ethiopia must hrooke audience Wednesday that some food aid to needy.Poor turnout at MRC meeting By Bobby Fisher SHERBROOKE — Citizens of Sherbrooke are more concerned with the future of their green spaces than they are with increased industrialization of the city.That was the general feeling at an information meeting given by the Sherbrooke Mnnicipalité régionale de compté (MRC — regional municipality) Wednesday night.The poorly-attended meeting was held to inform the public of the MRC’s land-use plans, which the Quebec government will make law January 1, 1987.Several previous gatherings have failed to draw-crowds as well.The Sherbrooke MRC is made up of the municipalities of Sherbrooke, Ascot.Deauville, Fleuri-mont, Lennoxville, Rock Forest, St-Elie d’Orford and Waterville.Sherbrooke MRC plans call for one of two options which outline ur banization projects for the next fiveyears The two options diffei in that the second offers a more aggressive approach to tourist industry zoning as well as concentrating the industrial zones into an area more to the east of Sherbrooke.SOME DISAGREEMENT While the meeting, attended by about 60 people, was cordial and well-mannered, not all citizens were in accord with the MRC’s proposals and several voiced suggestions.François Lambert, a lanscape architect from St-Elie d Orford, said he feels the “information was good” but that the plans won't work "The options are simply not applicable." Lambert said, "because they are not in line with what the other MRCs in the region are planning.” Lambert said the Eastern Townships’ other MRCs are putting more emphasis on the tourism industry and while Option 2 put forward by the Sherbrooke MRC leans in that direction, it isn’t in line with what he feels should be better cooperation between all of the groups.Lambert said another problem had to do with a planned new industrial park where smokestack’ industries — the ones that produce higher levels of air, water and noise pollution — would all be concentrated in an area near the Bromptonville and Scotch roads east of Sherbrooke.“They haven’t taken into account the visual problem,” Lambert said.AGREES Marjorie Goodfellow, president of the Townshippers Association and a lifelong Scotch Road resident, agreed with Lambert."I don't see why they are moving all their projects down into an area that is presently zoned green and is primarily a residential area,” Goodfellow said."They want to put the polluting industries all side-by-side near the new highway {Contournement de Nord, or North-end bypass which runs from Route 55 to the CHUS),” Goodfellow added.What that does, Goodfellow went on.“is visually pollute another entrance to Sherbrooke and they have been saying all along that they want to get rid of the entries to the city" that are not pleasing to the eve.Following a question period, the audience was asked to submit proposals of amendments to the two options.Of the two, Goodfellow- said she favored Option 2 because “of the environmental and recreational advantages" it offers.country at fault.Two Catholic relief agencies offered aid to northern Ethiopia.According to diplomatic regulations, such initiatives must bo accompanied by the approval of the Canadian ambassador to Ethiopia.The go-ahead never came, says Gascon."Most of Ethiopia is ignored.Their government isn’t helping, the United Nations isn't helping." Denied access, the organizations went undercover.They channeled money into other groups working in Ethiopia.The funds gradually-made their way up to north.All foreign aid finding its way in- to Ethiopia is controled by the Relief Rehabilitation Commission (RRC>.It is second in power only to the defence ministry."Nothing happens in Ethiopia without their approval ’' The agency doesn't get involved in local politics."It’s not neutrality, really.It's retaining our autonomy.No one is neutral." HIGHER BUDGET THIS YEAR Development and Peace's annual budget is normally $14 million."This year was an emergency budget — $16 million,” Gascon ex plains.The diocesan groups that are the national organization’s lifeblood divide the vear into two travel “undercover” to get to the parts.Volunteers solicit donations and distribute information packages during Lent.In the fall, members set up pressure groups and lobby the government for foreign aid and policy changes.The agency’s goal is long-term project planning and funding.That's where Gascon comes in.A projects officer for the last 10 years, she discusses, plans, re ceives, and accepts or refuses requests for aid.She thinks the worst is over in Ethiopia, but "Every African country is like a novel.The story is to be continued.” Angels four, five found near Lac-St-Pierre dock r Mario l.ebeau of the Sherbrooke MRC outlined land-use plans the Quebec government will make law January I, I IS 7 to Sherbrooke area citizens at an information meeting Wednesday ¦ BERTH1ERVILLE - The bodies of two men believed by police to be Hell’s Angels motorcycle club members killed in gang warfare were pulled from the St.Lawrence River Wednesday, the fifth such discovery in as many days.The men were found stuffed in sleeping bags and weighed down by cement blocks in the river, about 45 kilometres northeast of Montreal.Their bodies were identified by police as those of Guy-Louis ‘Chop’ Adam and Laurent Anglais’ Viau, both leaders of the Angels’ Laval chapter.Two others, found in the same manner Saturday and Sunday, have been identified as Laval Angels Jean-Guy ‘Brutus’ Geoffrion and Michel Willie’ Mayrand.Police divers found the body of a fifth man, Claude ‘Coco’ Roy, weighed down in the water by exercise weights Monday.A Quebec Police spokesman said the five were part of a group of six Hell's whose disappearance two months ago triggered a massive series of police raids on biker lairs in Quebec and Nova Scotia.Autopsies are to be performed today to determine the cause of death of the two men found Wednesday.SHOT TWICE An autopsy Monday on the body of ‘Brutus’ Geoffrion showed he has been shot twice in the head.The six members of the defunct Laval Angel chapter disappeared on about March 30, victims of what police believe was gang warfare.Police said they would continue their search today for the missing man, Jean-Pierre ‘Matt le Grosseur’ Mathieu.Nine QPF divers have been at work since Saturday near the dock in St-Ignace de Loyola, where the ferry which takes cars and trucks across the St.Lawrence moors.The underwater search for the dead Angels began beneath the St.Francis River opposite Bishop’s University in Lennoxville a few days after massive police raids April It.That day more than 50 people were arrested and 200 weapons seized during a police sweep of several Quebec cities and the Halifax area, but few major charges followed.For eight years, the Hell's Angels have been battling another club for control of illicit drug sales in Quebec.At least 40 people died in the crossfire last year.INTERNAL DISPUTES But the troubles with the Laval chapter are internal, say police.Detectives say the Laval gang’s behavior was outrageous even to the outlaw gang’s own members, who didn't appreciate the high-profile drink-drug-violence escapades in the residential area near their clubhouse.When inter-branch negotiations aimed at controlling the Laval group's behavior problem failed at meetings there and in Sorel, the renegades were ordered killed by the Hell’s Angels international headquarters in California.Police believe the executions took place at or following a meeting at the Sherbrooke chapter’s clubhouse in Lennoxville on or about March 30.$100,000 CASH The Queen Street house, heavily armed, armored and guarded by hungry dogs and several sophisticated burglar alarms, was a major attraction to police, who spent three days scouring the buildings and grounds.Although they turned up a number of apparently illegal weapons and over $100,000 in cash buried under a doghouse, few charges were laid.The money was turned over to Revenue Canada for investigation of income-tax evasion.Then the Lennoxville Angels and their friends launched lawsuits totalling $378,000 against police and the Quebec Justice Ministry.The suits claim that those arrested in the raids were held without a chance to see their lawyers for up to 29 hours; that detectives abused them; that several of their cars and motorcycles were vandalized by police; and that the club’s repu tation had been damaged to the extent of $10,000.Quebec Police Force divers continue their search of Lake St.Pierre today as they try to nail down the body of the last of Laval's fallen Hell’s Angels.Farmer sues six municipalities, police for bungling barn blaze SHE RBROQKE —- A farmer who blames sloppy work by police and firemen is suing virtually everyone in sight for the loss of his pig barn in a fire last year.Pork producer Jacques Theriault says the municipalities of Compton (Village, Township and Station), Waterville, Lennoxville and Ascot Township, the Lennox-ville-Ascot Metro Police and the two-town intermunicipal commit tee which runs it are all liable for the lost barn and animals, which he values together at $260,000.Theriault and his insurance company are suing all of the above for that amount, saying they failed to figure out who should put the fire out until it had almost burned out on its own.According to documents filed in Superior Court this week, Thé riault left his Corri veau Road farm on the evening of Sunday.Nov.28, 1984.to visit his son’s in-laws in St-Camille.His wife was in Sherbrooke for the evening.FIRST CALL: 10:30 p in.A fire broke out in the fattening pens of his barn.Theriault claims.When Mme.Theriault came home, she saw it and called the joint fire department of the three municipalities of Compton at about 10:30 p.m.Compton Fire Chief Paul Lessard and his men were alerted.says the lawsuit, but Lessard phoned Mme.Theriault back to ask which municipality the couple pay their taxes to.Informed that the place was apparently in the municipality of Ascot Township, Chief Lessard told Mme.Theriault he would not send his department on the call, but he would pass the message on At 10:40 or so, a call was received by the Waterville fire department; the person answering the phone is alleged to have replied that the de- partment would verify’ whether it would go to the scene or not.However according to the documents, no action at all was taken by the Waterville fire department, apart from answering the phone At about 11 p.m., according to the lawsuit, Mme.Thériault dialed the Lennoxville-Ascot police, and was answered in person by none other than Police Chief Richard Tremblay himself.Tremblay apparently replied that the fire would be attended to immediately.FIREMEN ARRIVE: 12:00 However, say the documents.Lennoxville firemen (who cover the section of Ascot Township including the Theriault home on Cor-riveau Rd.) arrived only at about midnight — nearly an hour-and a-half after Mme.Theriault first returned home to find the fire already well underway.The lawsuit claims the municipalities and the police department were all negligent by failing to turn up at the fire first and figure out the Ascot group moving with petition municipal boundaries later.Ascot Township is also blamed for operating a fire protection system which is incompetent because the fire departments concerned (Ascot doesn't have its own) haven't been told exactly where to go in case of a fire and the residents haven't been told who they should phone.VAGUE LISTINGS The phone book is confusing too ; Ascot Township’s white-pages listing under Pompiers' and ‘Fire’ emergency calls lists four num bers — Lennoxville, North Hatley, Sherbrooke (in smaller type, for some reason), and Waterville — but no explanation of who goes where is included.However the blue pages (allegedly listing all government phone numbers) list still another number, that of the Lennoxville-Ascot police department.Meanwhile (see separate story), the Township of Ascot may soon be divided into two separate municipalities.SHERBROOKE — The movement to dissect the municipality of Ascot Township into separate rural and urban entities is stepping up and organizers will be petitioning rural residents for support in the next ten days.Bob Marcotte, founder of the Action Rurale Démocratique says the new municipality he envisages would contain most of the agriculturally zoned land in the present sprawling municipality as well as 40 per cent of all buildings.Marcotte claims the present make-up of Ascot Township is badly suited to the needs of rural residents and says that a disproportionate share of their tax revenues go to supporting services designed for the densely populated Belvedere section composed mostly of apartment buildings — particularly the police.Marcotte says that the new mu-nicpality would have a population of around 3,000 people, making the maintenance of a municipal police force unnecessary.Under Quebec law.only municipalities with populations exceeding 5,000 are required to maintain their own force.Ascot and neighboring Lennoxville share the services of a force established under an intermunicipal agreement signed in 1983."But what do we (the rural resi- dents) need (hem for?”.Marcotte asks."We pay for them all right, but we never see them and w e don t need them.The provincial police could certainly handle the amount of crime that wc have.The police now spend almost all their time up there (in Belvedere).’’ Marcotte says a division of the present Township would allow rural residents to save considerable tax dollars without causing any di-munuation of their quality of life.Marcotte says petitoners will be going door-to-door in the next 10 days seeking popular support, and adds that the movement still needs volunteers.Those interested are invited to contact him at 567-3242.Our Local Campaign route Plow havi OTHERS DO TOO!

audience of financiers and investment analysts at the Inter-American Relations Center in New York City Wednesday.But being the helpful kind of guy that he is, Bourassa saw fit to offer a small piece of political advice to his sometimes-friendly rivals.“Premier Lévesque and his party should call a provincial election as soon as possible,” Bourassa said, “or else they run the risk of disappearing completely as a political force in the province of Quebec.” Thanks for your concern, Bob.Whata buddy.With this statement, Bourassa showed an amazing amount of optimism and hope in assuming that things could actually be worse for the Parti Québécois.How, I ask you, could the PQ be any worse off than it is right now?The PQ leader has been described as a ‘lame duck,’ and is sure to be found dead soon with a million knife wounds in his back; the party hasn’t won a byelection since, I believe, 1826; and if an election were held in Quebec tomorrow, there’s a darn good chance that the PQ wouldn’t win a seat.Not one.So perhaps Bourassa’s apparent concern for the welfare of separatism in the province of Quebec is really tainted with personal and selfish motives (shame on him).An election right now would be absolutely fantastic for the Liberals, but our good friend Robert is going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a trip to the polls in the near future would be the best way out for the Parti Québécois.If the Péquistes are politically smart (which they were at one point in their relatively brief existence), they’ll stop delaying the inevitable, elect a new leader, and start building toward a new beginning in the spring of 1986.After all, with their popularity being what it is today, the PQ has absolutely nothing to lose by waiting until the last possible moment.The party has pulled seemingly burning situations out of the fire before.In other words, contrary to public belief, the PQ DO have time to rebuild before the province’s next trip to the polls.WILLIAM HARRIS Bruce Levett “My point exactly” Snide suggestions have been made, recently, concerning nepotism — all of them directed at John Crosbie, our justice minister.A hue and cry went up when it was learned that Crosbie had two sons doing legal work for his department.Outraged, Crosbie slashed back at his critics.Meanwhile, the sons in question quietly asked to be relieved of their chores.This, of course, is scandalous — both sides are giving nepotism a bad name.In order to get the public’s view of the matter, it was necessary to take to the streets.“Excuse me, sir, but we would like to get your opinion about nepotism.” “Certainly.Good early foot, but does not stay any distance at all.Completely out of it if it comes up mud.” "No.no.The word is from the French népotisme or, possibly, the Italian nepotismo.It hastodowith putting relatives on the payroll.It also concerns — or did in ancient times — illegitimate offspring.” T don't know about that, but if there’s anything at all in blood lines, it sounds like a great idea.” Hmmmm.How about you, sir?Have you been following the Crosbie situation?” “Indeed I have, sir.Get all the papers up at the farm, you know."For my money, this Crosbie is doing a bang-up job.And if he’s raising boys to follow in his footsteps, so much the better “Then you think.” "If old John had been a black Aberdeen Angus, why, he would have been registered with the agriculture department long ago as a prime herd bull." “Thank you, sir.” Warm work, this testing of the public pulse.Possibly this purveyor of cooling refreshment could be prevailed upon to comment.“Sir?" “What’s yours, Mac?” "Well, actually, I’d like your opinion about the Crosbie situation .” “Glad you asked Been wanting to let off steam on that subject for days, but the only thing the customers want to talk is baseball.“Not that there isn’t a parallel, you know.” “There is?” “Certainly.What do you think it is that makes the Blue Jays such a great team-’ It's the farm system.They hide away a few good guys down in the bushes.They train them in all the fundamentals and then, when they need experienced help, they bring them up to play for the big team “Look at that kid Berra, with the Yankees.His dad, Yogi, let him season in the minors before calling on him.You do not just go out and hire some guy off the street when you need a major leaguer.” "Aha, but while Berra the younger is still with the big club, Berra the elder is gone.” “My point exactly.” And now, it’s hack to the studio for these messages.Tiny Rockall site of four-way claim dispute By Colin McIntyre DUBLIN (Reuter) — A remote lump of rock in the Atlantic Ocean, inhabited only by a few birds, is now at the centre of an international wrangle involving four countries.Rockall, a granite outcrop measuring 33 metres by 19 metres, is about 400 kilometres northwest of the Republic of Ireland.While the rock itself is of no interest to anyone but the hardiest of birdwatchers, it could be the key to rich fishing grounds surrounding it and possible oil and other mineral wealth under the seabed.Britain was first to see the potential in Rockall.In 1955 a party of Royal Marines managed to land on the unprotected rock, which is constantly buffeted by waves, to plant a Union Jack and bolt on a brass plaque proclaiming sovereignty.In 1972, it was formally incorporated into the United Kingdom, which declared a 12-nautical-mile limit around it and claimed that as an island it was entitled to its own 200-mile economic zone, giving it fishing and mineral rights.CITE UN ARTICLE This was quickly disputed by the Irish republic, Denmark and Iceland, which cited an article from a UN convention on the law of the sea that rocks unable to sustain human habitation or economic life should not have an economic zone or continental shelf.Britain, like most other countries, has yet to sign the convention.In 1980, Britain and the Irish republic, which argues that Rockall is closer to the tip of northeast Donegal than any other mainland, agreed to seek international arbitration over the dispute.A Foreign Ministry official in Dublin said there had been official negotiations since then with a view to setting up an arbitration tribunal, but little progress had been made.The dispute drifted for some years until April, when Denmark officially laid claim to an area of sea that included Rockall, arguing it was part of a geological extension of the Faroe Islands, which Copenhagen controls.The Danish government declared that Rockall was not an island but a cliff, with few if any rights.The claim drew a formal protest from the British government.ICELAND CLAIMS A few days later Iceland laid claim to Rockall on the basis that they shared the same undersea plateau, the Hatton Bank.Iceland has proposed four-way talks to divide up the disputed area, warning that if the countries involved failed to reach agreement the issue could go to the United Nations, which might come up with a solution unwelcome to all of them.Dublin has yet to put in a formal Irish claim, pending arbitration talks with Britain, and officials have sought to play down the dispute.But it is in the Irish republic, alone among the parties to the dispute, that the issue has caught the public imagination.One former member of Parliament went so far as to change his name by deed poll to Sean Rockall Loftus to highlight the issue.A popular singing group, the Wolfe Tones, wrote a song entitled Rock on, Rockall, which included the line: “You’ll never fall to England’s greedy hand.” IN HIS RIDING?The member of Parliament for North East Donegal, Paddy Harte, says Rockall is part of his remote constituency.“We are in danger of losing Rockall forever by simply failing to act,” he told the Irish government.Patriots have sallied forth from the Irish republic and Britain to stake the claims of their countries.Last September, a retired Irish fisherman was drowned in an attempt to plant an Irish flag on the rock.British adventurer Tom McLean, who previously rowed the Atlantic single-handed, sailed from the Scottish coast with a colleague in May “to claim the island of Rockall for Britain.” McLean said he will live in a cabin on Rockall and dispense scotch whisky to distressed seamen passing the desolate outcrop.When the M-moonshines over the Kremlin.MOSCOW (AP) — Soviet police carrying out a new government crackdown on drunkenness have destroyed hundreds of moonshine stills, including one run by an old woman who supplied an entire village, offi cial newspapers reported this week.Few details of the raids were included in the reports, but the articles appear to be aimed at showing quick re- sults from new measures to curb alcohol abuse in the Soviet Union that took effect June 1.The measures announced May 16 by the Communist party Central Committee include banning sales of vodka and other spirits on work days until 2 p.m., raising the legal drinking age to 21 from 18, cutting liquor production beginning next year and rai- sing fines for public drunkenness.Moonshining and illegal sales of alcohol already were punishable by up to three years in jail, but the government said its new crackdown includes “strict measures” against distilling moonshine, known in Russian as “samogon.” The campaign against alcoholism is seen as part of an efficiency and discipline drive given new impetus by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who became Communist party general secretary March 11 afterthe death of Konstantin Chernenko.STATISTICS SCARCE Although statistics on alcoholism in the Soviet Union are not available, the government newspaper Izvestia recently called it a "disaster.” Izvestia cited a Soviet study concluding that economic damage from drinking far outweighs revenues from liquor taxes — estimated by Western analysts to be about $64 billion in 1983, about 11 per cent of the national budget.Soviet authorities blame drink for 75 per cent of murders and rapes, 80 per cent of robberies, 90 per cent of hooliganism and most divorces.While Soviet vodka is inexpensive by North American standards at $7.50 to $10.75 a half-litre, the average wage of a Soviet factory worker is only about $290 a month.Particularly in villages, moonshine traditionally has been a cheaper alternative.Samogon, like moonshine anywhere else, is made in homemade stills.It is distilled from fermented grains, sugar, potatoes, beets, fruits and other foods containing starch.The final product usually is quite potent, and its taste varies according to what it is made from.The government newspaper of the Georgian republic, Zarya Vostoka, reported there were numerous arrests and moonshine seizures early Saturday morning when the new regulations took effect.The Communist party daily Pravda reported Monday that 2,500 moonshiners.or "samogonshchiki,” were exposed during recent raids in the Belgorod region of southern Russia.Pravda did not say over how long a period of time the raids occurred, or whether the moonshiners were arrested and charged.Pravda said one of those caught in the police dragnet was an elderly woman known in the village of Yastrebo-vo as Grandmother Sonya, who had been earning a living by supplying local residents with the liquor foryears.Pravda said her still was destroyed, but gave no details of what happened to the woman herself.wÆi'éJâ \Vs IE6AI if I/ll t ^ f/J1B i Mmm J/W;, y^r' ¦§ L SfbH., iff mm.VysyWyW/////'/// / yaw mm Sjfvrsss ' / 'léÀPr 'S/mow/Z, Violence in England not restricted to soccer LONDON (CP) — In the anguished aftermath of last week's horror when 38 people died trying to flee a horde of rampaging English soccer fans in Brussels, reaction in Britain has ranged from outrageous excuse-making to shame and now-worn promises never to let it happen again.Robert Kilroy-Silk.a prominent Labor MP from Liverpool, whose soccer fans once enjoyed the rare reputation in Britain of being well-mannered, unabashedly contended that all the trouble before the European Cup match between Juventus of Italy and Liverpool was caused by Italian fans dressed in Liverpool colors.That view ignored a decade of increasingly violent outbursts at soccer stadiums across Britain and the stark toll of last Wednesday’s casualties — 31 dead Italians, one dead Englishman.At the opposite extreme.Prime Mi nister Margaret Thatcher, who has long avoided becoming embroiled in the simmering issue of what, with traditional British understatement, is termed “football hooliganism," took command and promised new measures to catch and imprison the "thugs” who threaten the British game.Amid the various bans and withdrawals from European play affecting Paul Koring British clubs, the promises of emergency legislation and the collective shock of a country watching people die over and over again on television, only a few commentators have looked beyond the immediate need to curb the violence at soccer grounds.IRON CAGES’ The Times blandly suggested that “British football may have eventually to be played in fortified amphitheatres with iron cages,.and a breathalyser machine at every turnstile “Future football matches may not have the excitement and romance of the national game of the past but at least it may be a game again, a game worth playing and safe for export too.” No doubt, enough security measures and an overwhelming police presence could clean up the bad behaviour that has become synonymous with British soccer fans.But that might be treating the symptoms instead of the disease.(It might also create the potential for disaster.A ‘‘fortified amphitheatre with iron cages” in Bradford, England, last month would have meant hundreds and perhaps thousands of people burned to death because they couldn’t have escaped to the field during the grandstand fire that killed 54.) The Economist, posed a broader, and perhaps more valuable question “What’s wrong not just with British football but with Britain?” asked the newsmagazine."Why has a nation that used to pride itself — fairly or not — on civility and respect for authority become a byword in Europe for violence, drunkenness and dirt?“Bluntly, something nasty has happened to the British working class — whether or not because something equally nasty has happened to the middle-class to whose values it might aspire.“As a shamed Britain ponders the tragedy of Brussels it would do well to examine the system of cultural values that made it possible ” FAR BEYOND The problem goes far beyond soccer pitches.The massed violence — by both police and strikers — during the year-long coal miners strike was perhaps most surprising in that it apparently shocked so few in Britain.Only last weekend, police armed with truncheons smashed the wind-sreeens of dozens of vehicles in a peace convoy” and arrested more than 500 “hippies” headed for Stonehenge.Simmering violence can been seen in the black clothes and bright studs of young punks — the newest of Britain’s urban tribes.They are more than simply a generational successor to the flower children of the 1960s They represent a rejection of a society that offers limited opportunities and record-high joblessness.h inally getting tough on soccer hooliganism may succeed in making the sport safe for fans again but it won’t end mindless aggression.The blamed “tiny minority” is thousands strong as anyone who watches television knows.Their rage and frustration will find another venue unless the disillusionment that breeds violence in Britain gets treated as well. The KKCORD—Thursday, June 6, 19H5—5 Farm and Business #¦___togl nocoxn Pratt and Whitney sales keep growing despite air industry stall By David Gersovitz PARIS (CP) — The debut of a new generation of commuter aircraft will help Pratt and Whitney Canada increase engine deliveries this year despite continued sluggishness in the low-price end of the general aviation market, says president David Caplan.Pratt and Whitney, the world's largest manufacturer of small gas-turbine aircraft engines, designed the PW100 turboprop family for modern twin-engine commuter planes seating 30 to 70 passengers.When research started, these planes were all on the drawing board.Pratt and Whitney pulled off a major coup by getting orders to supply PW100 engines for five of the seven planes making up the group.Initially, there was skepticism whether there would be a place in the marketplace for these aircraft.Now they're starting to roll off production lines and orders are increasing.Production of PWlOOs is picking up accordingly.“We re quite confident that there’s a long-term market there.” said Caplan in an interview at the Paris Air Show, which continues until Sunday.“And we re comfortable that our market share will be quite nice.” BEGINS FLYING Among PW100 users, Canada's de Havilland Dash 8 began flying last winter with NorOntair.The first Embraer Brasilia was offi cially delivered during the current Paris show at Le Bourget airport The French-Italian ATR-42 will follow shortly and a new version of the old Dutch Fokker F-27.the F-50, will be certified later this year.The British Aerospace ATP will fly next year.In addition, do Havilland is considering a PWI20 (part of the PW100 class) for a possible new version of its four-engine, 50-passenger Dash 7 and Canadair Ltd.of Montreal is looking at the PW120 for a turboprop version of its CL-215 piston-engine water-bomber.The largest engine in the PW100 class is the PW124, with a rated power of 2,400 shaft horsepower.It will power the ATP as well as stretched versions of the Dash 8 and ATR-42 due in 1988.Delivery of engines by the Montreal-based company peaked in 1981 at 3,300 units, then fell sharply in the recession.Last year, the total exceeded 1,200 and should climb to between 1,300 and 1,400 units this year, said Caplan.But the numbers are deceiving.Many of the units now being built are in the larger PW100 class, w hich has at least three times the output of the smallest versions of Pratt's tried-and-true PT6 line of engines.Tax plan sets sights on smokestack industry OTTAWA (CP) — The battle over tax reform in the United States is about to open a second front in Canada.The impetus comes from a discussion paper released with the May 23 budget proposing reforms that would reduce corporate tax incentives for business while lowering overall corporate tax rates.President Ronald Reagan unveiled similar measures in the United States and the result was an outcry from the smokestack industries — steel, automobiles, machine tool companies — who will see their tax bill rise as incentives are removed.The two proposals involve reducing fast write-offs, otherwise known as accelerated capital cost allowances, for machinery and eliminating the investment tax credit.The Canadian version retains this credit for scientific research expenditures only.In addition, the inventory allowance, a form of inflation protection, would be eliminated in Canada, with possible provision for its restoration if inflation should rise significantly.In his discussion paper, Finance Minister Michael Wilson says these measures would result in a lower statutory rate of corporate income tax “to benefit all firms in all sectors.” “The basic federal rate would be reduced from 36 to 29 per cent, "the paper says, “ so that the standard combined federal and provincial corporate tax rate would fall from 46 to 39 per cent.” Under the U.S.plan, the maximum corporate rate of 46 per cent would be replaced with a flat tax of 33 per cent for all corporations.While the figures look good on paper, they don't tell the whole story.Heavy industries on both sides of the border have until now been able to take advantage of the investment tax credit and fast write-offs to reduce their taxes substantially.With these two tax measures removed, the result in both countries will be higher taxes for heavy industry and lower taxes for the consumer and service sector.Eric Owen, a taxation specialist with the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, said that despite the problems in reforming the corporate tax system, Canada has very little choice.The United Kingdom has already put similar reforms in place and now the United States is moving in this direction.“If our major trading partners are going this way, Canada has to come up with some resolution, otherwise we are going to be in the position of not being competitive.We certainly have to be internationally competitive.” AGREES ON REFORM John Bulloch, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, agreed that reform was inevitable if the United States went ahead with its plan.If corporations in Canada paid higher taxes than their competitors in the United States they would be at a disadvantage, he said.But Bulloch said reform would not come easy.“There are certainly going to be winners and losers," he said in an interview.Bulloch said most members of CDC an example of Tories ready to sell crown Ottawa clearly wants to get rid of as many Crown corporations as it can.That approach was hammered home during the election campaign and in statements since the Toris took over the government with 211 of 285 seats.The latest example is the government’s announcement that it wants to flog its large holdings in the Canada Development Corp.This is a holding company set up by the previous Liberal government with the aim of channelling Canadian investment into domestic industries that are seen to have growth prospects.CDC's debts have been larger than profits recently primarily because of large interest payments on costs run up by acquisitions that haven’t paid off as expected.Then, there’s Canada’s aerospace industry, which has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions in the last few years.Ottawa has done everything but bring dancing girls to your TV screen to offer in these firms.There are other headliners among the hundreds of Crown corporations in Canada, including telecommunications.NOT SO SIMPLE It’s not so simple, however, as lining up the Crown corporations and making them walk the plank.Canada is, and has been since before Confederation, a mixed economy - a country where private business operates in some sectors and the government takes over in others.They often overlap.That's because there are some essential services every country needs.If private business couldn't provide them, the argument went, the government had to step in.There’s nothing particularly new in this concept; the United States, that bastion of free enterprise, practises it every time a soldier gets It's your business BY KEN SMITH roused from his bunk, an air traffic controller cleans a jetliner for takeoff or a federal park warden says don’t feed the bears.In Canada, however, the concept has gone a lot further.Because of the country’s vast space and still sparse population, it has been accepted as a phi losphical notion that Canada needs more government intervention than most countries to generate growth in problem economic areas.Over the years, this idea has resulted, for example, in Air Canada - needed in the 1930s to help draw the country together, but now reported to be on the selling block - Via Rail, nuclear developments under federal companies and financing of high techology firms.Many of these ventures have cost taxpayers billions.What, then, do you do if you have oversee this confusion?SOME UNAVOIDABLE In some areas, such as national defence - and maybe even postal service - you have to accept federal control Then, you undoubtedly need some Crown corporations, because there are sectors of the Ca nadian economy which - while essential - may not be profitable, so they’re best handled by the government.If the national good is at stake in a particular fl neujspflPCR is still one Of TH€ B€ST B\I*JS flRCJP.D (me your suescereeRs au A&ovr/r') It’s that bottom end of the general aviation field

winners because small business is generally not capital-intensive.They will be affected, however, by the elimination of the inventory allowance.Thomas D'Aquino, whose Business Council on National Issues counts among its members such smokestack heavyweights as Stel-co Inc., Dofasco Inc., Ford Motor Co.of Canada and Chrysler Canada Ltd., said the principle behind the reforms is generally endorsed by the business community.David Perry, a research associate with the Canadian Tax Foundation, said the proposal would remove the bias toward capital investment, giving labor-intensive businesses a better break."The present tax system is not neutral,” Perry said.“It does have some distinct biases built into it.By lowering the rates, by getting away from the emphasis on the capital side, you do make a more efficient tax system, a more efficient allocation of economic resources in the country, and you also make it fairer.” enterprise, such as national transportation or communications, and private enterprise isn’t willing to step in because of the costs involved, it seems reasonable for Ottawa to move into the breach.A new paper prepared by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce suggests some fresh criteria.Basically, the chamber says, let’s apply the tests of the marketplace.If consumers are going to be hurt by monopolies, let’s have the government involved -through regulation if nothing else.But if private enterprise can deliver the same - or better - goods and services than offered by Crowm corporations, then good luck.But let’s look, suggests the chamber, at the proliferation of Crown corporations during the last couple of decades and see how many really are needed.It’s not a bad idea.no ITVflTTCfi HOU1 you LOOK AT IT.MAKER OF “ROBERT” WINDOWS

newr farm in come stabilization plan, Sa.skat chewan Agriculture Minister Lome Hepworth said Tuesday.The federal government has proposed to take sole administrative authority over the plan, called tripartite stabilization, which now is being studied by the Commons agriculture committee.But Hepworth said experience in Saskatchewan has shown that farmers are more willing to participate in programs they have a say in.And he re-iterated his province’s opposition to any provincial supplementary payments under the program.Under tripartite stabilization, the federal and provincial governments and farmers would pay equal premiums to build a fund which would make payments to farmers when the prices for their products fall below average prices of previous years.But the Canadian Federation of Aggrieulture, the country’s largest farm organization, told the committee that payout prices should be linked to the cost of production.And the federation urged that supplementary payments, called toploading, be permitted under strict limits, to help farmers where production costs are high It said that rather than banning toploading, the legislation should allow various commodity groups to determine what levels of toploading they’ll permit in their sectors.YOUR GIFT PROVIDES BETTER HOUSING CARE Send your gill to - Care Canada 1312 Bank Street Ottawa K1S 5H7 MAKE YOUR

jumper floated toward the basket.But two seconds after the shot left his hand and just as the buzzer sounded, the ball swished through the net and Boston Celtics had beaten the Lakers to even the National Basketball Association Championship Series at 2-2."I figured it had a 50-50 chance of going in,” Johnson said after his 22-footer beat Los Angeles 107-105 Wednesday night at the Forum.‘‘The play was set up to take the clock down to five seconds.with Larry (Bird) coming off the pick.” Bird dribbled, was double-teamed by Laker defenders, then passed off to the wide-open Johnson, who immediately fired the ball.“I saw Byron (Scott) and Ka-reem < Abdul-Jabbar) running toward me so I figured I'd make the shot a little higher,” Johnson said."It felt good.” “We just lost a tough game at the buzzer,” said Lakers' Earvin (Magic) Johnson, who’d tied the score at 105 with a basket just 19 seconds earlier, “All we can do for Celtics now is forget this game and look ahead to Friday.” Johnson, who hadn’t been much of a factor in the opening three games, had 27 points.Kevin McHale paced the Celtics’ scoring with 28 points, while Bird added 26.McHale kept the Celtics in the game during the first three quarters, then Bird took control with outstanding all-around play in the fourth before Johnson nailed down the victory at the gun.The Lakers, w ho led 92-85 early in the fourth quarter before Boston surged back, were paced by Abdul-Jabbar with 21 points and Johnson with 20.Unlike the first three games of the series, this one was close most of the way.And, unlike the third game, it was scuffle-free.NBA Vice President Scotty Stirling had met with the coaches prior to the game, ostensibly to talk about the rough play that had characterized the third game and resulted in some tough talk from both sides.The fifth game is scheduled here Friday night at the Forum.The series then shifts back to Boston for a sixth game on Sunday, and, if necessary, a seventh on Tuesday.Drugs throughout majors NEW YORK (AP) — Evidence uncovered by investigators in the Pittsburgh federal grand jury probe of drug trafficking show's that cocaine was sold to baseball players in virtually every National League city.Sports Illustrated reports in its June 10 issue.Sports Illustrated quotes unnamed law enforcement officials as saying drug deals involving ballplayers were so routine "that those who co-operated in the investigation often had trouble providing specific information about transactions.” Seven Pennsylvania men were charged with 165 drug violations in indictments returned by the grand jury following a 14-month investigation.More than a dozen ballplayers — most under grants of immunity — were called to testify before the panel.However no players were named in the indictments.The seven men indicted are to be arraigned Friday before a U S.magistrate in Pittsburgh.A story in today’s editions of the New York Times said dates of 133 counts in the 165-count indictment match days on which the National League Pittsburgh Pirates were home Mahler hurls a one-hitter as Expos win 6-0 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — If San Francisco Giants don’t see Mickey Mahler for another six years, it’s fine with them.“He shut us down pretty good,” Giants manager Jim Davenport said Wednesday after his team managed just one hit, Dan Gladden’s infield single, off the Montreal Expos pitcher and lost 6-0 in a National League game.“But it looked to me like we thought we could just walk out there on to the field and beat him.“We were dragging from the first inning on.” Mahler, 32, is a journeyman lefthander who has been released by several clubs and done most of his travelling through minor league cities over the last five seasons.The Expos brought him up from their Indianapolis farm club, where he was 4-1, a week ago.“I’ve felt since 1980 that I belonged in the majors,” he said.“I had a lot to prove today to people in other organizations who wouldn’t keep me.” Gladden singled in the third inning, barely beating a throw which shortstop U.L.Washington made after going to his right to field a grounder.12 HITS FOR EXPOS Terry Francona had three hits and three runs-batted-in, and Washington, Tim Raines, and Vance Law had two apiece.The Expos totalled 12 hits, the first seven off Mike Krukow, 4-4, who lasted only 3 2-3 innings.Mahler made his first major league appearance since 1982 last Sunday at Los Angeles, pitching three innings in relief and allowing three runs.On Wednesday, he got his first start since 1979 because Bill Gullikson is sidelined by a minor leg injury.He had a 12-24 big league record and no shutouts before stifling the Giants.Mahler, older brother of Braves Rick Mahler, made his career record 4-0 against the Giants with the one-hitter.He struck out six batters, walked two, and didn’t allow a runner past first base.“He didn’t walk many people, and we swung at a lot of bad pitches,” said Tom McCraw, batting coach for the Giants, whose average dropped to .213 as the team suffered its sixth shutout loss.Dodgers 2 Mets 1 Bob Welch, making only his second start of the season, teamed with three relievers on a three-hitter to earn his first victory in beating New York.Mariano Duncan had an RBI single in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie.Steve Sax singled, stole second and scored the go-ahead run.George Foster hit his eighth homer for the lone New York run.Braves 4 Cubs 2 Rafael Ramirez drove in all of Atlanta’s runs, the last two with a homer in the top of the 11th inning.Paul Zuvella started the Braves 11th with a single.One out later, Ramirez hit an 0-2 pitch over the left-field fence for only his second homer of the season.Ramirez had a two-run double in the third inning.Reds 11 Pirates 9

Open men’s singles title since Tony Trabert captured the crown in 1955.Standing in the way, however, are the defending champion, Ivan Lendl, and Mats Wilander, the 1982 winner.Connors and the top-seeded McEnroe have battled their way into Friday’s semifinals on the slow, red clay courts at Roland Garros Stadium where Connors, possibly playing his last French Open, will meet Lendl and McEnroe will take on Wilander, his third consecutive Swedish opponent.Today, though, is women's day, and Americans have done extremely well thus far.Defending champion and No.1 seed Martina Navratilova faced West Germany’s Claudia Kohde-Kilsch, and second-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd met 15-year-old Ga-briela Sabatini of Argentina.Navratilova and Lloyd met in the women’s final last year, Navratilo va winning in straight sets.Lloyd has won the French Open a record five times but Navratilova, twice a champion, is favored to repeat this year.On Wednesday, Connors, 32, fought his way into the semifinals of this Grand Slam tournament for the fourth time, stopping Stefan Edberg of Sweden 6-4, 6-3, 7-6.Lendl, who came from two sets down to outlast McEnroe in a thril ling five-set title match here last year, advanced to the semis with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Argentina’s Martin Jaite.The veteran left-hander, who says this may be his last appearance on French clay, said he gets a kick out of winning against the younger players on the tour.“I really enjoy playing the young guys and still grinding it out.That’s what really keeps me going more than anything,” Connors said.“It’s one of the biggest pleasures for me personally — when your legs are supposed to be one of your biggest weapons.Mine still work.How many miles they’ve got in them, we ll have to see.” But Connors’ semifinal foe, Lendl, is on a four-tournament winning streak and hasn't dropped a set in his steady, five-round march here toward the final.Ranked second in the world and seeded behind McEnroe here, the Czechoslovakian right-hander posted another convincing straight-set victory on Wednesday against the unseeded 20-year-old Jaite.For the past year, Lendl has been adhering to a special diet, avoiding red meat and carbonated drinks while loading up on whole grains.Connors has a 13-9 lifetime record against Lendl, but Lendl has won their last four meetings and has handed Connors the worst two defeats of his long career.Richard remembers Canadiens’ 1950s glory days Upcoming Events By William Harris NEW YORK (CP) — The Punch Line of Montreal Canadiens was reunited Wednesday to honor its most famous member, Maurice (Rocket) Richard.The Canadian Society of New York gave its third annual hockey award to Richard, the first National Hockey League player to score 50 goals in 50 games.He did that 40 years ago.Elmer Lach, the Punch Line’s centre of the 1940s and 1950s, credits Richard and his famous Detroit Red Wings rival, Gordie Howe, with playing a key role keeping the NHL alive during the lean TORONTO (CP) — George Bell, Toronto’s slugging left fielder, believes Detroit is a toothless Tiger in 1985."We call the shots now.we re the No.1 team, up six games (O'/i actually),’’ Bell said Wednesday night."I don’t think they have a chance, because we re going to be hard on them “They’re not playing the same as they did last year (a 35-5 start) Look at their record this year and last year.They’re not the same wartime years and the'post-war period.Howe, last year’s award recipient, gave a warm welcome to the Rocket.The inaugural trophy went to the late Clarence Campbell, former NHL president.While old age is setting in for the Punch Line, memories of the glory days with the Canadiens still are vivid among the trio.GOOD YEARS “All the years I played with the Canadiens, they were good years,” said Richard, 63.One thing he misses is the high salaries NHL players now earn compared with team.This year we’re the team.We’ll beat them this year.” Bell and his teammates, who sit atop the American League East with a 34-16 record, will have an opportunity to back up the statements when the Tigers and the Blue Jays open a key four-game series tonight with Dan Petry, 8-4, going for Detroit against Toronto's Jimmy Key, 4-2.Bell, who is second on the team in homers with 10, two behind Jesse Barfield, leads the Jays in runs-batted-in with 31.He is coming of* the 1950s.When the Canadiens won five straight Stanley Cups in the 1950s, a Montreal player could earn between $40.000 and $50,000 a year counting bonus playoff money, Richard said.Lach, 67.was the centre and Richard and Toe Blake were his right and left wingers respectively, when the Punch Line finished 1-2-3 in scoring in the 1943-44 season.The order was Lach, Blake and Richard.Richard was 23 when he reached the 50-goal milestone the following season.his first full season in the major leagues, a banner year where he started ripping the ball in spring training and never tailed off.Last year, he led the team in homers with 26 and finished second to Lloyd Moseby in RBI with 86.“I wasn’t surprised by what George did last year,” said manager Bobby Cox of his 25-year-old outfielder.“I always considered him to be a hitter as soon as I laid eyes on him for the first time in spring training.After Blake retired as a player, he coached the Canadiens to five straight Stanley Cups in the 1950s.Richard was his star.“He kept me in the league as a player and coach,” Blake said."When he retired we certainly missed him and I think that’s the reason we never got the sixth cup in a row.” At 72, Blake is the oldest Punch Liner.Sports celebrities, politicians, businessmen from Wall Street and Canadian diplomats came to Richard’s bash at the Pierre Hotel.“What I liked was he could hit the ball hard to all fields and he has no fear.” Bell, emerging from a rare hitting slump where he went ll-for-67 over a 16-game stretch, hit a three-run shot on Tuesday night against Minnesota Twins, then followed up Wednesday night with a 2-for-4 performance.Bell is the reluctant star in the Jays’ talented outfield which also includes Moseby and Barfield.All three can hit, run and possess above average arms.WATERLOO — ‘Le Club Sportif et Culturel de Waterloo’ will be holding the third annual ‘Waterloo Triathlon’ on July 5, 6, and 7.Participants and spectators from all across the province

like other children and will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.His mind is good and he understands everything that is said to him.At times he has trouble responding, but when people are patient and treat him as they would any other child.He does very well.Please tell curious strangers not to stop us on the street and ask personal questions.For example: “How old is he?" "Will he grow to be normal in size?” “Is he in pain?” "Whatever he has, does it run in your family — or your husband’s?” “If I speak to him will be answer me?” I have seriously considered ordering printed copies of a poem by John and Edna Massimilla of Hatboro, Pa., so I can hand one to anyone who approaches us in a restaurant or supermarket with a rude or insensitive question.Here is the poem and I hope you will print it in your column.Thank you.— A Mother in Philadelphia Dear Mother: I'm pleased to do so.Thank you for sharing.Different “He's not just right,” someone did say.“He walks and talks in a different way.” “But, what is right?” asked a different voice.“What type of person?Is there a choice?” Tall, short, frail or strong?Who is right and who is wrong?The shy, the mighty, or those with fame?No two persons are just the same."He’s not just right?” Can we not see.God makes us all quite differently?And should some need our extra care It's up to us — this burden to share.Dear Ann Landers: “Deeply Concerned in Georgia” wrote for help concerning her stepdaughters who live with their mother and stepfather.She suspects he has or will sexually abuse the girls.Frankly, my dear, your advice stank.It’s unrealistic to expect the mother to speak to her husband “in very plain language”.You would not believe how many mothers know what’s going on and refuse to “make waves” because they don’t want their home disrupted.Y ou should have told the stepmother to talk to the girls and get the facts.She should then call a social worker, or a lawyer, a physician, a clergyman, someone who has the authority to move in on the situation.A man who French-kisses his stepdaughters is a bomb ready to go off.The welfare of the children is of utmost importance.They must be protected NOW, or those who suspect and do nothing will carry the guilt to their graves.I know because I was — Abused And The Mother Of Abused Children Dear Mother: I thought my answer was pretty good, but yours was stronger — and therefore better.Thanks for writing.social notes Visit to Denmark should be a maturing experience FIRST BLOOD HOT II WEDNESDAY’S SPECIAL 1 Anne Lessard is looking forward to learning Danish language and culture — even if she makes a few mistakes along the way.By Laurel Sherrer SHERBROOKE — While most high school graduates are looking for a job or making plans for college.Anne Lessard will be packing for a year-long stay in Denmark.Lessard.17, who is soon to graduate from the College du Sacre Coeur in Sherbrooke, is one of 70 students in the province chosen for an international student exchange program through American Field Services (AFS).Started in 1914 as a voluntary service to help the injured on the battlefields in Europe, AFS evolved into a world-wide exchange program with the goal of promoting friendship and understanding between nations The program now involves 64 countries and 10,000 teenagers around the world every year.Lessard leaves for Denmark July 15, and upon arrival there will start a three-week orientation along with students from various other countries to learn some of the basics about the language, history and culture of Denmark.She’ll spend the summer getting to know her host family and travelling.REGULAR SCHOOL “It’s so small I’m sure I’ll see everything,” she said in a recent interview.“Then I hope to see some of the neighboring countries, such as Sweden.” In the fall she will attend a regu lar high school.Lessard isn’t exactly new to travelling and participating in cultu ral exchanges.She has been to Florida, Cuba and Guadeloupe with her parents, and set up her own month-long exchange with a family she met in Guadeloupe She has spent time in Toronto, London (Ont.) and Port Coquitlan, B.C on exchange trips, as well as visiting the Terry Fox Centre in Ottawa But this will be her first time in Europe and she’s excited.And just a little nervous.START FROM ZERO “It’ll be a big change and it's going to be very hard at first." she said.“I’ll make mistakes I’m sure because we don’t have the same culture.But I’m ready to make mistakes and learn." She has done some reading about the country, but most of it is outdated, so she’s prepared to “start from zero." There are 106 students from Canada participating in the exchange, and 150 from other countries coming to Canada They are chosen on the basis of marks, participation in school and other activities, evidence of maturity and independence and other factors There has been some trouble locating host families in Canada.So far there are only about 80 avai lable.Although her college education may be delayed by the exchange, Lessard thinks it’s worth it.“We’ll be much more mature after a year there,” she said."Other teenagers will seem very, very young.” Besides, she says, the education system is supposedly very good there, so she may be able to go directly to university once she returns.Dig up the old stories for Bedford High reunion Down the Pike 40th anniversary Mable and Dick Burnham, South Bolton, will celebrate their 40th anniversary on Sunday, June 9th.Engagement Mr.and Mrs.Herbert F.Coles of Cowansville, Quebec, announce the engagement of their second daughter, Barbara Diane, to Mr.Lloyd Robert Beerworth, only son of Mr.and Mrs.Robert Beerworth of Clarence ville, Quebec.The marriage will take place on Saturday, June 29, at 3:30 o’clock, in Trinity Anglican Church, 409 South Street, Cowansville, Quebec.Engagement Canon and Mrs.Robert Jervis-Read, of Bulwer, Que.are happy to announce theengage-ment of their son, Timothy, to Miss Lisa Stylen-ko, daughter of Mr.and Mrs.John Stylenko, of Val d'Or.Que.The wedding has been arranged to take place in St.Philip’s Church, Sawycrville, Que.on August 3rd.As mentioned last week, the old Bedford High School will hold a reunion in ’86.Organizers need names of students who attended dear old BHS.Graduates are known, but who was that funny looking kid who sat beside you in grade six and then left town?Who was the cute blonde in grade ten?Try to remember, then let somebody (Murray Gunson, Carole Soule or Kathy Kaiser) know who it is.Another valuable contribution will be remembering school stories.Does anyone remember Bert Gittens standing outside the grade eleven windows (second floor) to wave at the teacher as she came in?,Who today (except myself) recalls the sight of a leggy BHS defenceman guarding our often porous net wearing hand-knitted hockey stockings that alternated three inch purple and gold stripes all the way up?Let me tell you.it worked.Just ask anyone who ever tried to shoot a puck while giggling madly.At a reunion we can all compare the different techniques of education we suffered through at one stage or another.In my day it was ‘back-to-basics’, not the three R’s, but Bedford’s version of the ideal education system, Socrates sitting on one end of a log with a student at the other.When the school bought desks, things improved.The trick back then (after teaching the art of cutting a fine nib on the turkey feather) was to keep students coming to school until they caught some education.It usually happened between mumps and whooping cough.Y’ALL COME There will be a meeting on June 18th to discuss details of the reunion.It’s a “Y’All come" affair.In particular, organizers need pictures and memorabilia.For those of us who attended during WWII and before, don’t worry if you can’t find memorabilia.WE are the memorabilia.Next week, on the 11th of June, the Farnham School will hold its annual year-end awards dinner.The purpose is to honour students in the categories of academics, sport and citizenship.There are still tables available at the Bedford Social Club flea market and rummage sale to be held on June 8th (this Saturday) at the Masonic By Ashley Sheltus hall.To sell the stuff you accumulated at many other sales this spring, this is the place! Call Fred Gilman at 248-3341.In the long-range reminder category, don’t forget the Legion Poppy Day Brunch, 9:00 a.m.to 1:00 p.m.on June 16th.The $3.00 you pay to get in supports the Poppy Fund.It’s not too late to buy a ticket for the Missis-quoi Historical Society's historic house tour this Saturday.Buy your ticket at the museum.Ten dollars, ten places to visit and no tour director asking you to shuffle faster.After you finish, there’s a tea which I’m told will be on the museum lawn.For those who insist, tea will also be available in cups.Cost for that is $2.50.SAVE THE BMP As many of you know, the Brome Missisquoi Perkins Hospital may become a chronic care facility.A group called “The Friends of BMP” is being formed to lobby the government in case they react to those by-elections by implementing the bizarre plan.Anyone willing to help save the hospital should phone Townshippers (263-4422) in Cowansville or Tina Gasser in Pike River (248-2954).Finally, I spent last weekend cavorting at the Alliance Quebec Annual Meeting.Marjorie Goodfellow, President of Townshippers, was elected Vice President (actually, she was acclaimed, but this sounds more democratic), and Royal Orr, Former Executive Director of Townshippers is the new Off-Island Vice President.We are slowly taking over.Alliance Quebec only made one mistake all weekend They somehow allowed Dr.Jim Ross of Sherbrooke to escape from the post of Chairman The good doctor runs a tight ship and most speakers under him end their remarks on time.His technique is simple.When it's time for speakers to sit down, Jim stands up and goes to peer over their shoulder.Nothing so concentrates a speakers mind on getting off the stage quickly as having one of Quebec's prominent surgeons staring at them with a professionally speculative look in his eye.Katimavik receives environment award MONTREAL —The Katimavik program received an award from the United Nations Environmental Program in New York Wednesday.Katimavik, the national volunteer program for Canadian young people between 17 and 21, is receiving the award for the example it has set by involving thousands of young people in community service activities aimed at protecting the environment and preserving natural resources.With this award, the UN recognizes Kati-mavik’s efforts in pro- tecting the environment since 1977, and particularly since 1984 when more than two million trees were planted throughout Canada under its spe cial tree project.Katimavik shares this honor with the Ca-lifonia Conservation Corps, with which if worked for the past two years in a joint conservation project in California and British Columbia.Science journalist David Suzuki and Senator Herbert Sparrow are also Canadian recipients of awards for their contribution to environmental protection.Quitting li lough, but It'i worth Iho ollort.Join the Majority — Be a Non-Smoker.DANCE for the benefit ot ST.PAUL S REST HOME OF BURY to be held at BURY TOWN HALL Saturday, June 8th Music by OLDE TYME 4 Over 18 years • 1 DOLBY STERFO '.I.,1- Ci*#*»* CAPITOL 565 oui 59 KINQ «St Sh«rbfOoK« Monday to SolufloyT^v and 9 p m Sunday 1 pm 3pm 5pm ¦ ¦d ) p m 9pm COMPTON COUNTY HISTORICAL and MUSEUM SOCIETY DANCE June 8th - 9 p.m.SALLE VEILLEUX — Clifton Rd., Sawyerville Music by the CANADIAN RAINBOWS $2 50 Adults — 12 and under Free DOOR PRIZES Advance tickets trom directors or tel 875-5334 FOR DAY CAMP AND POOL IN LENNOXVILLE WILL BE HELD JUNE 8th from 9:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m.June 10th and 12th from 4:00 p.m.to 6:00 p.m.At Centennial Pool on Speid Street, Lennoxville.REGISTRATION LOUISE & VIC ROULEAU Shrubs — Trees — Evergreens — Annuals Hanging Baskets — Flowers — Perennials Vegetable Plants — Top Soil — Peat Moss.120 BELVIDERE ST.LENNOXVILLE TEL: 569-6846 SALLE JEAN PAUL Bury Dance June 8th Orch: Bourbon & Lace TOMMY HUNTER SHOW July 13th 2 shows: 2 p.m.and 8 p.m.Advance tickets for sale at: Addition, 4 Belvidere St.Lenn 567-3707 Levis Bouliane, 2305 King West, 569-5357 Solle Jean Paul, Bury, 872-3249 " BOUTIQUE PLANCHE-ACTION ENR.1020 WELLINGTON SOUTH SHERBROOKE — 569-1487 (MUNKITTRICK'S BUILDING) IN COLLABORATION WITH CIMO 10 Make it your victory loo!

new breeds of cattle will be on hand for visitors to see, along with the usual breeds, plus horses, ponies, sheep, pigs and fowl.Old and new June 7, 1985 The joy of giving By James Jacoby Declarers who win money at bridge follow a simple rule.They try very hard to make their contracts.They despise overtricks and search out ways to give up tricks, if by doing so they can guarantee their contracts.Greed got the best of the declarer in the diagramed deal.He won the opening lead with the club ace and played the king and ace of spades.The 4-1 trump split wrecked the hand.Of course a reasonable spade division would have netted 11 tricks.But it’s not that rare for a suit to split badly.The winning line surrenders the possible overtrick.At trick two, declarer should play a low spade from both hands.Now the defenders can take a club and a heart in addition to their trump trick, but no more.When declarer regains the lead, he can successfully draw trumps and claim the rest.There is a circumstance that would overrule this approach.If the club played by East on the opening lead suggests that clubs might be divided 5-2 for the defenders, then South cannot risk ducking a spade.The third round of clubs might promote a trump as the setting trick when East holds a doubleton club.if you begin to make preparations and plans now, some distant place you've long desired to travel to
