Palmer told reporters he had been “treated fine” during his 13-day ordeal.“I’m very pleased to be going home Wednesday," he said.“I hope to be home soon.“I have a heart condition and high blood pressure.I was without medication until four days ago, when the Red Cross brought me medication that brought down the pressure.I feel real good now.” GOES TO HOSPITAL Palmer was taken to Beirut’s American University Hospital last week for examination, and then returned to the house where he was held with other hostages under Amal’s protection.The release resulted from a visit by two Red Cross officials, one a doctor, to all 40 hostages, said a Red Cross statement.The other hostages “all sent messages home," Palmer said.“Some were examined by the Red Cross,” he added.Two Frenchmen kidnapped near the Beirut airport May 22 also will be freed once the hostage crisis is settled, Berri said.Quebec school board law ruled unconstitutional m.§* Won’t be long now No sir, it won't be long until

Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — A Quebec Superior Court judge ruled uncons-titutional Tuesday the government’s far-reaching law realigning the province’s school system along linguistic rather than religious lines.Mr.Justice Andre Brassard ru- By Kevin Dougherty MONTREAL (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Tuesday the federal and Quebec governments will open ministerial talks this fall aimed at securing the province’s endorsement of the 1982 Constitution.Emerging from an 80-minute meeting with Premier René Lévesque at a hotel near Mirabel Airport, Mulroney told reporters that ministers and officials of both governments will hold preliminary discussions on constitutional reform at an unspecified date this fall.Both leaders described their meeting as excellent, but stressed that talks on Quebec’s proposals for sweeping constitutional changes will continue well into next year.Lévesque is expected to retire in October after Parti Québécois members have chosen his successor in a province-wide secret ballot.Mulroney, who flew to Mirabel from Ottawa aboard a government Challenger jet, said he considered the meeting useful despite Léves-que’s resignation, announced at midnight last Thursday.“Mr.Lévesque is and remains the premierof Quebec,” he said.“I think Mr.Lévesque agrees this (constitutional reform) isn’t a question that can be solved by the autumn.” SET UP AGENDA At a separate news conference, the Quebec premier predicted the process will take some time, adding that his successor will continue the talks after the fall meeting sets up a formal agenda.“Whoever he is, he will be the premier of Quebec for a time,” he added.MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec Premier René Lévesque says he wanted to avoid late-night newscasts when he picked the witching hour to announce his plans to quit politics.Breaking the silence about his resignation announcement last Thursday, Lévesque revealed Tuesday that he made the actual decision to step down as Parti Québécois leader last Easter.Now.he told reporters, he’s “relieved” that six months of heated speculation — not to mention backbiting within the pro-independence party he helped found — have ended.“I thought it was the right time,” he said when asked to explain why he chose 11:30 p.m.EDT to release copies of his resignation letter to PQ vice-president Nadia Assimo-poulos.“I didn’t want to be on the late night news.I didn’t want to be wrapped up like that.” Lévesque, a one-time TV broadcaster, will stay on as Quebec premier until the complete PQ membership votes for a successor in September or October.MEETS MULRONEY He met Prime Minister Brian led that the law.passed last December, was beyond the powers of the National Assembly and "therefore null and void.” Brossard also granted the boards an injunction against application of the law which had been challenged by the Quebec Association of Protestant School Boards and four member boards.Lévesque expressed confidence that Ottawa will agree to Quebec’s request for recognition of the distinct character of the province’s French-speaking majority, under “whatever label is decided on.” “A people is a people is a people, as they say in English, a rose is a rose is a rose,” Lévesque commented.Lévesque said he will seek provincial support for his constitutional reform package at the annual meeting of all 10 premiers, scheduled for August in St.John’s, Nfld.Under the constitutional amending formula, changes require the approval of seven provinces with more than half the Canadian population and of the federal Parliament.In a package of constitution proposals released last month, Quebec asked for recognition of its dis-tinct character as a mostly French-speaking province and control over language legislation in Quebec WANTS FIRST PLACE Quebec is also asking that the Quebec Human Rights Charter take precedence over the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and financial compensation if the province opts out of federal programs.The package was prepared by Pierre-Marc Johnson, Quebec’s minister of justice and Canadian intergovernmental affairs, who is considered a leading contender to succeed Lévesque as Parti Québécois leader.While Johnson did not attend Tuesday’s meeting with Mulroney, Lévesque said he met with the justice minister in the morning and would talk to him again on the flight back to Quebec City.Mulroney for 80 minutes at nearby Mirabel airport Tuesday.They agreed that Ottawa and Quebec will open ministerial talks this fall aimed at securing the province’s endorsement of the 1982 Constitution.Lévesque refused to say precisely why he decided to resign.But he had been under pressure because of the PQ’s sagging fortunes in public opinion polls and his refusal to fight the next Quebec election on the sovereignty issue.“I thought it was the right time to leave my place to someone else,” said the premier, denying any bitterness about the last six months.Lévesque — who last week celebrated the 25th anniversary of his first election victory — has been the only leader the PQ has known since its creation, but he feels it can still thrive without him.“The party must be able to run itself,” he said."As far as the party is concerned, I’m outside of the process."After 25 years of what's called public life, there’s a sort of accumulation of frustrations For the remaining years in my life, 1 want to try some things I haven't done yet.” The controversial law — a centrepiece of government policy — was the latest in a series of Parti Québécois government measures to be struck down by the courts.It was scheduled to come into effect July 1, 1986, although some transitional provisions were already in effect.The government had said the law — known as Bill 3 — was an attempt to “open the doors to pluralism.” It abolished most denominational boards in favor of French or English-language school commissions.The boards, however, accused the government of attempting a "power grab” wrhich would take control of the schools out of local hands.And it said Bill 3 violated rights guaranteed to Protestants and Catholics by Section 93 of the British North America Act.The law would have left only four denominational boards —the Montreal Catholic School Commission, Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal and the two original Protestant and Catholic school boards in Quebec City — but it would have reduced them to their tiny, original territory of 1867.NO POWER The boards told the government did not have the constitutional power to confiscate the schools and other assets of the existing Protestant boards for use of the non-denominational system.Dr.John Simms, president of the Quebec Association of Protestant School Boards, called the ruling “a victory for democracy and for parents.” The Montreal Catholic School Commission, the largest school commission in Quebec, also hailed Brossard’s decision, saying it could only “but be pleased with the ruling.” Simms said when the case was filed that ‘‘the boards were fighting to preserve a school system which, though legally called denominational and Protestant, has been open to anyone who wished to enroll.” Quebec Education Minister Francois Gendron refused to comment Tuesday until he studied the judgment.The ruling leaves untouched controversial provisions of another bill — passed June 4 — which excludes religious minorities from voting indenominational school board elections.Those provisions were part of an amendment to the Education Act and not covered by the school board action because they were passed so recently, said Allan Hilton, a lawyer for the Quebec Association of Protestant School Boards.CONFORM TO RULING The legislation was an attempt to make Bill 3 conform to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling last year that declared unconstitutional limitations on the tax powers of denominational boards.The government said it interpreted the high court ruling as meaning that a denominational board must be controlled by people of the same religion.Simms said, however.the association was convinced the government had the wrong end of the stick, and it planned to ask for immediate clarification from the Supreme Court.The Supreme Court ruling “dealt only with taxation, it did not have to do with racism,” said Simms.Alliance Quebec, the province’s English-rights lobby group, which supported the secular intent of the law as sensible in “the modern-day context," said it urged the government earlier to refer the legislation to the courts for a ruling.“The government chose not to take that advice and is now taking the consequence of that decision," said Alliance president Michael Goldbloom.By The Canadian Press Evidence is growing that bombs planted by Sikh extremists in luggage aboard aircraft originating in Canada might be responsible for a fatal explosion at Tokyo airport and the destruction of an Air-India jetliner over the Atlantic.Investigators, however, were also investigating other theories Wednesday, including the possibility that extra weight from a fifth engine might have been the reason for Sunday’s Air-lndia tragedy that killed 329 people, a Transport Canada spokesman in Ottawa said.René Mercier said the non operating turbofan engine was strapped under the wing of the Boeing 747 in a procedure common in commercial aviation.Air-India officials in Tokyo said Tuesday that two people — with names similar to a pair being sought in connection with the explosion in luggage from a Vancouver-originated CP Air jetliner at Narita airport near Tokyo on Sunday — were booked on an Air-India flight from Tokyo to Bombay that afternoon.The pair, however, did not show up.SOUGHT BY FBI Lai Singh and Ammand Singh of New York City were being sought by the FBI in connection with a plot to assassinate Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi during his visit to Washington two weeks ago.The two Singhs arc not related.Most Sikh men adopt Singh, which means lion, as part of their name.Japanese police said Wednesday they believe the blast at Narita airport was caused by a bomb that used a sophisticated timing device.The explosion happened about 30 minutes after CP Flight 003 had landed.A police source, who asked not to be identified, said authorities were working on a theory that the explosive device was hidden in the piece of luggage destined for transfer to an Air-India flight to Bombay.The Japan Broadcasting Corp.said an A.Singh had a reservation on Flight 003, but that only L.Singh checked in at the airport.L.Singh did not board the plane, it said.Lai Singh had received explosives training at a mercenary training camp run by an arms dealer near Birmingham, Ala.The CBC reported Tuesday night that some police officers believe a bomb was planted in a piece of luggage that originated in Vancouver and was transferred later to the Air-India Flight 182.SIKHS IMPLICATED The CBC report also implicated two more Sikhs in connection with the two tragedies.It said a man using the name M.Singh bought a ticket for a flight to Toronto but that he did not board the aircraft and instead sent his luggage to Toronto for transfer to Flight 182.Another man using the name L.Singh bought a ticket for Flight 003, but that he also did not board the aircraft, the CBC said.The CBC said Ammand Singh and Lai Singh were involved in planning the bombings, but that the bombs were actually placed in the luggage by L.Singh and M.Singh It said L.Singh and M Singh were connected with the Sikh Student Federation in Vancouver, one of three groups reported to have claimed responsibility for the Air-India disaster.Craig Wheeler, director of the Toronto-based McGill group of experts on terrorism, said strong indications existed that a bomb did explode in the forward compartment of Flight 182.He theorized that the explosion could be triggered by a detonator wrapped in plastic.GOV’T NOT TOLD Transport Minister Dan Mazan-kowski said in the Commons on Tuesday his department was not told of any specific threat against Flight 182 before it left Canada.In other related developments.— The Toronto Star says airport security agents were given portable hand scanners so unsophsti-cated that they are unable to distinguish between key locks and firearms to search luggage destined for Flight 182.— Air-India announced in New Delhi that it has temporarily suspended its twice weekly service to Canada.S.K.Anand, Air India’s deputy operations manager, said in New Delhi that the service would not be resumed “unless security (in Candian airports) gets tight." — Indian newspapers urged the public in India not to take revenge against Sikhs because of the speculation that Sikh militants had planted a bomb on Flight 182.Sikh leaders in India and London have denied involvement by the Sikhs.— U.S.air safety experts said in Cork, Ireland, that they saw virtually no chance of recovering Flight 182’s in-flight recorders.Mulroney calls meetings useful despite resignation Lévesque explains timing 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, June 26, 1985 Study proposes tougher sentences for polluters—including jail OTTAWA (CP) — The range of punishment for those convicted of polluting the environment should be expanded to include jail terms, the forfeiture of property and restitution orders, says a study paper prepared for the Law Reform Commission of Canada.“Current laws do not provide the courts with sufficient powers to impose sentences in environmental cases which will achieve the ultimate goal of stopping the offending behavior, repairing damage caused to the environment and preventing recurrence of the harm,” says John Swaigen, one of the authors.Some environmental offences are as serious as criminal offences and should be punished in a similar way, said Swaigen, a lawyer with the Ontario environment ministry who prepared the report with Saskatchewan lawyer Gail Bunt.The courts should have the power to order imprisonment when the offence is so serious that a fine would be deemed inadequate or when the level of fine necessary to deter others is well beyond the offender’s ability to pay.Commission president Allen Linden said the commission does not advocate increased use of severe sanctions such as imprisonment, but will review the “provocative” study paper while examining legal By Norman Delisie QUEBEC (CP) — The Parti Québécois, with coffers $3.1 million poorer than those of its rival Liberals, is planning a leadership campaign that will keep all costs to a bare minimum.The Canadian Press has learned that the PQ national executive, which will soon announce rules for the race to succeed Premier René Lévesque, has decided — among other measures — to stuff all candidates’ campaign brochures into the same envelopes, to cut postage costs.“It is preferable to keep the money for promoting the ideas of the Parti Québécois than to reduce the post office deficit,” said a member of the executive, requesting anonymity.“The party’s leadership will un dertake to the candidates to respect the confidentiality of the contents of the brochures sent to it in advance,” the executive member said.The 300-member PQ national council, which met in Quebec City last weekend, was caught off guard by Lévesque’s surprise announcement late Thursdav that he was stepping down right away as party leader and would quit as premier as soon as a new PQ leader was chosen.RUN-OFF POSSIBLE On Sunday, the council decided to hold a region-by-region leadership vote on Sept.29, with a run-off vote on Oct.6 if no candidate emerges with a clear majority in the first round.There are still nodeclared candidates.But Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson and External Trade Minister Bernard Landry are expected to be key contenders.Interim PQ president Nadia As-simopoulos has said that a single message sent by mail to 200,000 party members would cost $75,000 for printing, handling costs and postage.There 117,000 PQ card-carrying members right now.But Quebecers can join until the middle of the leadership campaign — Aug.15 — and still have the right to vote in the contest.The PQ, in a system unique in Canada, will choose its leaders by direct ballot — not through delegates as is the customary method of other parties.PQ could return to independence platform QUEBEC (CP) — The ideal new leader of the Parti Québécois “should be a 32-year-old René Lévesque,” Quebec Energy Minister Rodrique Biron said Tuesday.But Biron would not say who he might support in the race to succeed Lévesque, now 62, who resigned as party president last Thursday but remains premier until a successor is picked in September.There are no officially declared candidates so far, but the names most often mentioned include Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson and External Trade Minister Bernard Landry.At a news conference at the annual meeting of the Canadian Electrical Association, Biron said he still agrees — “as do all cabinet ministers and caucus members” — with the party’s decision to shelve independence as a Quebec election issue.But the position of the PQ and all Quebecers might eventually change “because the decisions aren’t etched in stone and the notion of sovereignty has not been abandoned." Not only can the PQ survive without Lévesque, Biron said, it must remain a progressive party which will promote Quebec sovereignty.There were indications last weekend at a meeting of the PQ’s national council that the divisive issue of independence might surface as a key issue in the leadership campaign.BAIE-COMEAU, Que.(CP) — A half-dozen radio station employees occupied Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s riding office Tuesday, hoping to get some answers from the federal government about their labor dispute.The workers, from CHNC in New Carlisle on the Gaspe Peninsula, have been on strike for 32 months over lagging contract talks.Six of them, accompanied by union advisers, began the occupation Tuesday morning and sent a Telex to Labor Minister Bill McKnight demanding to know what steps Ottawa will take to settle the conflict.In reply, McKnight promised to intervene immediately to provide mediation services.But the stri- kers said they wanted more details.At a news conference inside Mulroney’s office, the strikers said they also asked McKnight what Ottawa plans to do about government advertising broadcast by “strikebreakers” at CHNC, as well as what its policy plans are for antiscab legislation.McKnight replied there are no plans for a federal anti-scab law and that his department is examining the issue of government advertising on the station, said union president Reynald Blais.CHNC’s 12 employees, whose union is affiliated with the Confederation of National Trade Unions, went on strike Oct.20, 1982 over salary and other issues.Several of them have since found other jobs.#¦______________tel lascom Georg* MacLaren, Publisher .Charles Bury, Editor.Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising Manager .Mark Guillett*, Press Superintendent .Richard Lessard, Production Manager

and workplace pollution.The commission, established in 1971 to help modernize federal laws, may recommend in a working paper this fall that environmental crimes be included in the Criminal Code, Linden said.However, its proposals are not binding on government.ARE APPROPRIATE The study paper says traditional fines are appropriate for the vast majority of cases which involve an accidental discharge of a small amount of relatively safe substance which is cleaned up quickly and causes little or no serious harm to the environment or human health.However fines are often an inadequate response to exceptional cases involving the wealthy, the poor, recalcitrant offenders, sensitive environments, high-risk occupations, continuing pollution and reckless offenders.Rather than increasing the maximum fine possible under all federal and provincial statutes, the government should consider imposing higher fines for special cases only.For example, the laws could be changed to allow corporations to be fined more than individuals and large corporations more than small ones, the study says.PQ candidates sharing envelopes to save money The report urges Canadian lawmakers to consider the Scandinavian “day-fine” which tailors fines to income.Underthis system, an offender who dumps contaminants for three days to boost production might be fined three days’ income.Environmental laws should be amended to permit the forfeiture of property or the revocation of licences when corporations become repeat offenders and jail sentences are impossible.The report also recommends that courts be empowered to order offenders to clean up or restore the environment and stop operating in a location or manner that threa- tens the environment.It suggests polluters be ordered to pay restitution or compensation in cases where their actions deny another of the use and enjoyment of property.“The public perception of pollution offences is that they are serious crimes,” the report says, “(and) the courts are perceived as helping to perpetuate the problem by letting polluters off lightly.” At the same time, the authors say, the maximum fines available under many federal and provincial statutes are excessive for the typical case involving environmental pollution.News-in-brief Body recovered under bridge Armenians on trial in spring Canadian tanks bomb MONTREAL(CP) — The body of a 17-year-old male has been recovered from the St.Lawrence River beneath the Jacques-Cartier bridge, where a crowd of thousands watched an international fireworks show last week Witnesses had claimed they saw someone fall from the span, but police gave no further details Tuesday.Steering blamed in bus crash MONTREAL (CP) — A city bus accident June 16 in which 27 people were injured was caused by a fault in the vehicle’s steering system, preliminary results of a Quebec government investigation indicate.However, the inquiry by the Quebec Trans- .port Department and the Occupational Health t-Bnada

full-production in mid-July, said Marine spokesman Guy Sarrazin.The 300 office workers who staged a seven-month strike also were scheduled to return to work Tuesday.Hydro oil contained PCBs QUEBEC (CP) — Oil from a Hydro-Quebec transformer hit by fire last Saturday in suburban Charlesbourg contained more than the ad-missable amount of toxic PCBs, says a preliminary study by the Quebec Environment Department.The blaze caused 45,000 litres of mineral oil to spill and some seeped into a creek leading to the Duberger River.Post office short on stamps OTTAWA (CP) — On your next trip to the post office, pick up some extra small-denomination stamps if you plan to mail anything outside the country.Although Canada Post printed plenty of 34-cent stamps to be ready for the rate increase that took effect Monday, it didn’t print any 39-cent stamps for U.S.destinations or 68-cent stamps for other international points.A Canada Post spokesman says the Crown corporation concentrated on getting the new 34-cent stamps ready because domestic mail accounts for most of its first-class mail.It also has plenty of lower denomination stamps available to make up the difference.Wilson flexible but silent OTTAWA (CP) — Finance Minister Michael Wilson refused once again Tuesday to say how or when he’s prepared to allay the concerns of senior citizens about budget proposals to trim cost-of-living increases in old age pensions.“I’m flexible and I’m listening and I’m hearing what they have to say,” Wilson told repor ters after a private meeting with six members of a delegation from the Toronto area.However, he would not say whether any announcement could come before Parliament adjourns Friday for the summer or before it resumes again in the fall.OTTAWA (CP) — Canada may benefit from Japan’s offer to cut tariffs on about 2,000 agricultural and industrial imports, but Canadian trade officials are still reviewing the list of items covered, Trade Minister James Kelleher said Tuesday.Canadian trade officials only received the list of goods on which tariffs might be reduced by 20 per cent or more Tuesday and it will take a few days before they can analyze how significant the move is to Canada, Kelleher said in a brief interview.Boy drowns as man watches DETROIT (AP) — A man who offered some teen-agers $10 to retrieve his model boat from a park lagoon

apparently hired to meet demand for the Fourth of July, but severe bums make identification difficult, authorities say.Five other people, including the owner of the Aerlex Fireworks plant, were injured in a series of massive blasts Tuesday which were felt 20 kilometres away.Reports that victims may have been under 18, forbidden by law to work at plants like the one making aerial fireworks used in civic displays, sent state Labor Department officials to the scene along with other investigators.U.S., U.K.sign prisoner treaty WASHINGTON ( AP) — The United States and Britain on Tuesday signed a treaty that will deny fugitives the right to avoid extradition on grounds their offences were political.Both governments believe the political offence exception to extradition as it applied to violent crimes was unsuitable, a statement from the British Embassy said.The embassy said the new supplementary treaty represents “a most significant contribution to the efforts now being made by western democracies to counter the threat posed by international terrorism.” Weather Mainly cloudy with a few showers.High 16 to 18.Thursday: cool with 20 % chance of showers.Doonesbury VjliV.St t

close to the faces of demonstrators outside the White House as they knelt on the pavement, prayed and sang Be Not Afraid.After declaring them in violation of local ordinance, he said sternly : “I’m going to ask you to leave one more time!” They were prepared for that.One turned her face up to the officer and said, smiling: “Thank you.” “OK, fine, ma’am,” he drawled, and turned away to help with their arrest which, by arrangement, proceeded peacefully.This recent exchange, involving peace demonstrators but mirroring the tactics now used in many causes, illustrated a new style of American protest in which order, organization, civility and police liaison are the rule In contrast to the passion and turbulence of the anti-war and social protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the anti-apartheid or pro-peace rallies of the ’80s are often orchestrated by demonstrators and police down to the last detail — sometimes even to agreement on the precise laws to be broken and the numbers to be arrested.“Co-operation is better,” said seasoned demonstrator Jim Byrne.“It sure beats the hell out of getting whacked around.” Environmentalist leaders list goals WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders of major environmental groups, declaring that “this planet is all we’ve got,” have announced more than 100 joint goals for the rest of the century.They range from $75 billion in U.S.mass transit improvements to a global moratorium on testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons.The executives of 10 private, nonprofit organizations issued a 55,000-word report after two years of assessing threats to the environment around the world.They also studied solutions that Russell Peterson, president of the National Audubon Society, said “we have a fighting chance to accomplish.” William Turnage, president of The Wilderness Society, said he saw a tremendous potential for progress in the next three years because U.S.President Ronald Reagan’s environmental policies have been “the most totally rejected by the American people’’ and by Congress.“This place, this planet, is all we’ve got,” Turnage said, “so it doesn’t really matter what President Reagan thinks, because the people of this country understand that, and that’s who we’re talking to.” Among the report’s U.S.goals were: — An increase of five cents per gallon in the nine-cent federal gasoline tax to raise $5 billion a year for 15 years for capital improvements to mass transit systems.— A mandatory fuel economy standard of % kilometres per gallon for automobiles by 1995, and mandatory efficiency standards for new buildings and appliances.— A 50 per cent reduction in sulfur emissions to combat acid rain, a $12 billion fund for cleanup of toxic waste sites and tighter standards for diesel engine pollution.Among the report’s international proposals were: — A U.S.government commitment to seek a “mutual and verifiable” moratorium on building, testing and deploying nuclear weapons, actively support non proliferation of nuclear weapons, and research on the prospect of a nuclear winter resulting from atomic warfare.— Congress should require U.S.firms operating abroad to adhere to environmental, health and worker safety standards as strict as those in the United States.TIMES CHANGE Some veterans of the 1960s marches and street clashes view today’s tactics as rather pallid and contrived.A cartoon strip, popular among young professionals who well remember the anti-Vietnam upheavals, chronicles the bemused frustration of a ’60s veteran as he encounters his well-mannered successors of today, with their computer print outs of plans, participants and volunteers for arrest.The syndrome is best observed in Washington, mecca for the malcon-tented seeking to express their displeasures to the president and federal government.The city’s assistant police chief, Isaac Fulwood, who marched to Washington with Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights throngs as a teenager in the 1960s, oversees some 200 demonstrations a year in sizes ranging from one persbnto 100,000.“In the 1960s we were all — pardon the expression — full of piss and vine-gar, a lot more fiery,” he said.“Things in general have calmed down.We very rarely have trouble.“In the 1960s, you would see spontaneous demonstrations.Now they get permits, they ask what the laws are and what will happen if they violate them, and we sit down and explain.“It’s a very orderly process.At the South African Embassy they (antiapartheid protesters) tell us how many people are going to be arrested.” SWEEPS COUNTRY Fulwood dated the change to the start of the 1980s, when a wave of conservatism swept across the country along with the election of President Ronald Reagan.“We started to get a difference in ages and issues,” he said.“Demonstrators accepted the idea that the community will not respond to violence.” David Scott of Trans-Africa, which has organized daily demonstrations outside the South African Embassy to protest that country’s apartheid policies, said: "We do all we can to prepare the city for our demonstrations.We don’t want to put a strain on the system.” Christian activists known as The Sojourners prepared painstakingly fora recent Washington protest, spending time on “non-violence training” and lining up volunteers to be arrested for minor offences along lines discussed with police.Things went like clockwork: The volunteers did what was required to be arrested.Police complied.Protesters were marched off smiling on the arms of equally cheerful officers.Sydney’s tabloids thrive in shock-horror war By Reg Oration SYDNEY (Reuter) — Pet Dogs Skinned Alive, Kangaroo Attacks Family In Barbecue Terror, Mad Fish Injures Four, Drag Queen Shot Dead The shock-and-scandal poster is a main weapon in the battle fought on Sydney’s streets between two evening tabloids owned by Australia’s two largest newspaper groups.The circulation war spells good business for both papers, defying a trend that has seen afternoon dailies lose out to the competition around the world The Daily Mirror, owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., and The Sun, owned by the John Fairfax group, have combined daily sales of 600,000 in a city of under four million people, official sales figures show.The total is better than any single afternoon paper sales in any other ci- ty in Australia.MARKET TOUGH In the face of competition from four morning dailies, three commercial television channels and 12 local radio stations, advertising revenue of the two papers is expected to increase to $40 million (U.S.) this year from $25 million in 1981.The Sun and The Daily Mirror have been locked in battle for as long as Sydney residents can remember, producing in the years after the war what one late newspaper editor described as "perhaps the two worst newspapers in the world.” But lively, brash and entertaining, the papers have proved that news still sells newspapers.Competition is fierce to be first on the street in four daily editions, with No.1 hitting the newsstands at about 9:30 in the morning and the last catching the home-going commuter se- ven hours later.At the heart of the rivalry is the poster, the subject of a bitter war of words 10 years ago when The Sun accused The Daily Mirror of breaching an agreement by using explicit sexual words on its posters and in front-page headlines.“If The Mirror wants to shout sex’ and ‘rape’ from posters on every street comer in the city, then they can have that field to themselves,” it said POSTERS ACCURATE Ron Ford, editor-in-chief of The Sun, told a recent newspaper conference here that newspapers were still suffering from the excesses of past poster writers.But he argued that posters now plastered around Sydney and its suburbs were “lively and often compelling and, despite what some critics may say, accurate.” In the last few years the two papers have spent millions on promotions and gimmicks aimed at outdoing the other, the most notable being last year’s instant bingo, a scratch lottery that aped a campaign waged by British newspapers.The Sun sold an extra 100,000 copies on the first day of its game, but the sales boost for both papers was shortlived.The state government called a halt when newspaper bingo started to harm its own instant lottery.In a recent promotion aimed at the betting market, the Sun was giving away a thoroughbred race horse and a greyhound.More than 95 per cent of sales are made on the street.Some news vendors on busy corners sell thousands of copies a day.Australia is one of the most news-hungry countries in the world.More than seven million metropolitan and regional dailies are sold every day to a population of only 15 million Farm and Business Th«‘ RECORD—Wednesday.June 26, 1985—5 the #1___ lEBCOra Privatization of nuclear energy industry fits into everyone’s plans OTTAWA (CP) — An idea being kicked around in the boardrooms of the troubled Canadian nuclear industry could see the partial privatization of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., the federal government’s Crown corporation for things nuclear.The proposal would see the formation of a new company to handle all aspects of designing, building and marketing the Candu heavy-water reactor, now one of Atomic Energy’s major tasks.While the Conservative government makes no secret of its distaste for the very idea of Crown corporations, this proposal is being pushed by the industry, including Atomic Energy.It was born from the need for the industry to get its act together in an era when orders for the Canadian-designed Candu reactor are rare events.But it also might take root because it is a perfect fit with the ideology of Atomic Energy’s political masters.“This is still a lot of talk,’’ says Norm Aspin, president of the Canadian Nuclear Association.But, he adds, “this would be the time to do it because the gover- nment keeps talking about selling off its corporations.” Energy Minister Pat Carney says she hasn’t yet heard the proposal but it matches her view of how the industry should be managed, “rationalization, privatization and increased payments from the users,” are her goals for an industry in which Ottawa has, up to now, played the leading role.WORKING TITLE At this point, industry leaders stress, National Nuclear Corp.is a working title for not much more than an idea.Hal Dickout, vice-president of power systems for Canadian General Electric and past chairman of the Canadian Nuclear Association, advocates the idea.With the challenges the industry faces and the Tories’ view of Crown corporations, “it’s an idea whose time has come,” he says.In a separate move, Atomic Energy is planning to spin off to the private sector its profitable radiochemical division, which is a world leader in the manufacture of cancer therapy machines and other nuclear devices and products for industry.Atomic Energy would still exist if and when National Nuclear gets off the ground because it would likely hold a major piece of the company.But as an operating company, Atomic Energy would be left with only its research arm which does basic science as well as applications in such fields as nuclear waste disposal.Ontario Hydro, the major customer for the Candu, would be the other major shareholder in National Nuclear.Other utilities such as New Brunswick Power, which operates one reactor at Point Lepreau, and companies in the private sector would also have a share.For the industry, National Nuclear Corp.is more than just an idea with political appeal — it is an urgent necessity.The industry is facing a very difficult future, James Donnelly, president of Atomic Energy, told a recent nuclear association conference.If it doesn’t come up with some answers fast, "I fear that Candu as a nuclear system may not survive.” The nuclear industry developed to handle business from Ontario Hydro’s nuclear construction spree.In the last 15 years, the utili- ty built 16 reactors and will have another four in service by the end of the decade at the new Darlington power station In the early 1970s, there were predictions that nuclear-power stations in Canada would be producing about 100.000 megawatts of electricity by the end of the century.But even if Ontario Hydro adds another four units to Darlington and New Brunswick Power builds a second station at Lepreau, instal led capacity will only be one-fifth of that.With the end in sight for Ontario Hydro’s building program and a dearth of export orders, the indus-try has shrunk from a 1980 workforce of 38,600 to a 1984 level of 31,000, a 20-per-cent drop.SHRINK EVEN MORE Dickout and Donnelly believe the industry will have to shrink even more if it is going to compete and that it must pull its act together if it is to compete well.That’s where National Nuclear comes in.Although Atomic Energy does the basic design work for the Candu, Ontario Hydro developed its own designs and added its own staff.That resulted in a duplication of effort the industry can no longer afford “There is just no room in Cana da, with its relatively small technological and manufacturing base, for duplication and competition in applications," Donnelly told the conference.One Ontario Hydro source, who asked not to be identified, agreed that between them, Atomic Ener gy and Hydro “are going to have to reduce resources and look at whether services can be integrated in some way.” Putting all the Candu eggs in the National Nuclear basket and desi gning one reactor instead of several variations would also allow it to compete more effectively in world markets now dominated by light-water reactors.Billions of dollars are being spent by the French, Germans and Americans on improved designs for light-water reactors.Donnelly said the only way Canada can compete and keep its technology up to date is to consolidate its research effort Both Ontario Hydro and Atomic Energy will have to make some potentially unpalatable compromises to make National Nuclear work Dickout says the industry should scrape its plans for all but the 600-megawatt reactor, concentrating all its resources on just one design.For Atomic Energy, that means giving up its 300-megawatt design which Donnelly has high hopes for in the export market.For Ontario Hydro, it would mean abandoning the 936-megawatt Candus it is building at Darlington Hydro may also have to stop designing four-unit integrated stations which it builds to cut the costs of such things as fueling machines.The Ontario Hydro source said the utility might be able to swallow such compromises because it has such a large investment in Candus and has to ensure the industry stays afloat.Don Douglas, general manager of the Organization of Candu Industries, admits there is currently not enough business to keep everybody happy but says rationalization, particularly in the private sector, will be difficult to achieve as it means a decision on the part of some companies to get out of the nuclear business.Farmers return too little to the soil, expert warns CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) — The degradation of valuable agricultural land is one of the biggest problems facing Canada's future, speakers told the annual meeting of the Agricultural Institute of Canada on Monday.The whole subject is depressing because the health of the farm industry, which in turn determines the food supply, is at stake, said Reg Thomson, dean of the Atlantic Veterinarian College.“For a variety of reasons, producers are taking more and giving less to the soil,” he said.It is a precarious road to travel but Canadian farmers are consistently moving down the path, contributing to the bum out of Canada’s dependable, fertile land, which is already limited to an area slightly larger than Newfoundland and Labrador.The growth of urbanization and industrialization, combined with factors such as weather, are already taking their toll on farm land, he said.Murray Miller, a professor at the University of Guelph, said farmers in Western Canada are “caught between a rock and a hard place.” The answer to the problem lies in scientific solutions which produce suitable cropping systems acceptable in the long and short term, he said.“Continued erosion will make further production unprofitable,” he said.Some of the factors wearing out the land in Eastern Canada are erosion, compaction and acidification, while salinity is one of the major problems Western Canada, he said.All of these factors lead to reduced productivity, he said.Farmers can correct much of the problem by reverting to crop rotation, he said, but the results are unprofitable.“The big problem is the economic viability of agriculture —our farmers can’t dictate prices like General Motors, for instance,” said Miller.Don Rennie, a professor at the University of Manitoba, said farmers are bearing the full cost of land depreciation caused by bum outs, but there is no way to pass the cost on to the consumer.“There is a very real dearth in recognition of the seriousness of the problem,” he said.There is little funding to study the problem considering it caused losses in excess of $1 billion in Western Canada, he said.“Not only is soil degradation research short-changed but also soil research in general,” said Rennie.Honda planning to market new models in Canada OTTAWA (CP) — Are Canadians becoming less ferocious?Eugene Whelan, a former agriculture minister, once said eating beef makes people more ferocious.Well, the trend towards less consumption of beef is continuing, according to figures released last week by Statistics Canada.The per capita consumption of beef decreased by four per cent to 38.32 kilograms in 1984 from 40.02 kg in 1983.For all red meats, including porx, veal, lamb and mutton, per capita consumption decreased by three per cent to 70.36 kg from 72.53 kg during the one-year period.In 1976, Canadians each ate 81.57 kg of red meat.Jacqueline Leblanc-Cook, a Statistics Canada official, said the long-term trend has been for consumers to eat less red meat and to eat more poultry.Per capita consumption of poultry increased to 22.91 kg in 1983 from 20.28 kg in 1976.Menasco taking on the unions MONTREAL (CP) — Menasco Canada Ltd., the centre of a labor storm involving Quebec’s anti-scab law, has launched a $21.5 million lawsuit against the Confederation of National Trade Unions and the independent union at its former surburban plant.The aerospace supplier told Quebec Superior Court that the amount represents how much it has lost since labor strife erupted nearly three years ago.Another $1 million is being sought in punitive damages.Menasco also wants the court to outlaw a “service contract” signed in 1982 whereby the CNTU handled ad-ministrative functions for the unaffiliated plant union.All 364 employees were locked out in July 1982, but Menasco kept filling orders by using non-union labor — in defiance of fresh Quebec legislation banning the use of so-called scab labor.In October 1983, Menasco announced it was moving its operations to Ontario, partly because it objected to the labor law.TORONTO (CP) — Honda Canada Inc.of Toronto will establish a separate division and dealership network to begin selling new luxury and sports cars in Canada in 1987.The new division, to be called Acura, will initially market both a luxury sedan, currently code na- med the HX, and a sporty, two-plus-two passenger performance coupe to be called the Intregra.The HX, will sell in the $19,000 to $23,000 range, competing against such European imports as BMW and Audi, while the Integra price tag is expected to fall between $12,000 and $15,000.Inflation: If you can’t beat it, why not buy it?Canadian ferociousness down NEW YORK (AP) — The commodity futures industry launched a new way to deal with inflation Friday: buy it.With the introduction of a futures contract based on the U S.Commerce Department’s consumer price index, inflation has taken a place alongside pork bellies, gold and soybeans — and they’ra-all for sale.In the case of inflation, what's for sale is the value of an index, specifically the consumer price index for wage earners and clerical workers.Each contract is worth the index multiplied by $1,000.The Commerce Department reported Thursday that the index as of the end of May was at 317.8, which would make each futures contract worth $317,800.About 40 contracts changed hands in early trading, said Jim Bowe, senior vice-president for marketing at the exchange.The price of the June contract ranged from $318,830 to $318,950, which imply an expected annual inflation rate of four to 4.4 per cent.Buyers of the contract believe that inflation will increase, while sellers believe it will decline.If a trader bought the contract Friday for $318,830, and the index goes up to 319.0 during June, he could sell it for $319,000 and earn $170.The purpose of the contract, however, is for protection against inflation.Bowe said.For instance, if an investor bought $1 million in three-month Treasury bills at seven per cent interest, his real return would be three per cent if inflation remained about four per cent during that period.But if inflation were to increase to, say nine per cent, the investor’s real return would be a loss of two per cent.If he were to buy three CPI futures contracts — which would be worth roughly $1 million — at the same time he bought the $1 million in Treasury bills, the profit on the futures contract would offset the loss of interest to inflation.Whether the contract will succeed is still open to question, but economists give the concept high marks.“I think it’s a valuable contract to society,” said Paul Samuelson, institutional professor of economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The company’s plans for Canada, where it has been the top selling car importer for the past nine years, are closely modelled on those already announced by the U.S.subsidiary of Honda Motor Co.of Japan.The HX will be similar to a luxury sedan to be built in Britain by a joint venture between Honda and Crown-owned BL PLC, but cars for Canada will be built in Japan, said Ralph Luciw, vice-president of national advertising, auto division, for Honda Canada.Japanese production of the HX will begin in late 1986, with introduction in Canada timed to coin cide with the opening of Honda Canada’s Alliston, Ont., assembly plant that will initially turn out 19,000 Accord models a year.Honda Canada officials have just completed a cross-country tour of dealers, informing them of the plans for the new division.There will be Honda dealers getting Acura franchises, but they will have to set up completely separate divisions, Luciw said.Honda dealers will not be allowed to sell the HX and Integra from the same premises as the Civic, Accord and Prelude models.“We want to establish a totally separate and distinct image and we don't want any overlap,” Luciw said.The company hopes to have 25 Acura dealerships in major markets by early 1987, with plans calling for 100 dealers in Canada Canada on health food kick CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) — Canadians are changing over to more healthy foods, the country’s food specialists were told Monday.Sales of diet foods, brans and fibres, and fruits and vegetables are climbing rapidly with the diet information explosion.Dr.R.D.Peterson, director of science and consu- mer affairs for Kellogg Salada Canada in Toronto told 700 delegates at the annual conference of the Agricultural Institute of Canada.But, while the bar rage of diet, health and lifestyle information boosts sales of health foods, the increased number of elderly Canadians will probably continue to demand a traditional meat-and-potato diet.“This should be a stabilizing force in the food market.” He predicted a trend to smaller packaging in foods for elderly and single people.G.I.BEAULIEU INC.THIS WEEK'S BEST
