By Irwin Block MONTREAL (CP) — Souvlaki is souvlaki is souvlaki — in French, English or Greek.Quebec’s language board has ruled.The popular Greek dish got the green light Thursday from the Office de la langue française because it falls under a category of words borrowed from other cultures.But the word ‘hamburger’ remains a no-no in French.The term ‘hambourgeois’ — which was coined by the Office in the late 1970s but is still not found in standard French dictionaries — is the preferred term.“The basic reason is that there were 10, even 15 varieties of hamburger appearing on menus, from hot hamburger to cheeseburger and chiliburger.’’ Pierre Auger, the Office’s director of terminology, told a news conference to launch the agency’s new glossary of terms.“And if we want to francicize menus we can't just accept this.“Borrowing a word from another culture is never a problem when it’s amarginalphenomenum.Souvlaki is such a case.“But if everything that comes from the United States is automati-callyrepeated in English, we won’t go far — we ll end up .speaking French with English words." ENGLISH CREEPING Creeping anglicization is more of a threat to Quebec than France, he added, because the province is an “enclave in an English sea.’’ To guide Quebecers, the Office has published a glossary of 122 words with its recommendations on which are acceptable and which ar3 not.Brunch and joggeur, for instance, are correct French terms.But unlike France, where hit- Weather, paye 2

intercepted an Egyptian plane carrying four Palestinian hi jackers, forcing it to land in Sicily where the gunmen were handed over to Italian authorities for prosecution, White House spokesman By Robert Fife OTTAWA (CP) — Conservative MP Robert Corbett has joined Justice Minister John Crosbie in denouncing the prime minister’s top aides for lacking political smarts.But unlike Crosbie, the New Brunswick backbencher says he’s not going to retract his statement and he doubts Prime Minister Brian Mulroney would dare get on his case.“He wouldn’t ask me to withdraw those words,’’ Corbett told reporters after he made the criticism in a radio interview.“I mean it’s fairly obvious that there has been some things that have taken place that probably if we had on reflection an opportunity to assess them could be handled otherwise.” Corbett refused to say if other Tory MPs feel the same way about Mulroney’s staff.But w'hen asked if his constituents had complained about the prime minister’s office, he replied: “I don't suppose any more than any other constituency in the country.” The MP stressed, however, he didn’t think Mulroney should fire some of his aides, adding they will eventually “become aware of what is astute and what isn’t.” The issue arose after Corbett said in a telephone interview with radio station CJCW in Sussex, N.B., that Crosbie’s initial comments about Mulroney’s staff were legitimate.“All he’s saying basically is that they are people with above-average intelligence but their political acumen leaves something to be desired,” he told the interviewer.On Monday, Crosbie said on radio that Mulroney’s aides weren’t political astute and had mishandled the racid-tuna scandal.He subsequently denied making the criticism and insisted he was not pressed by Mulroney to recant.Larry Speakes said late Thursday night.The episode was handled “without firing a shot,” Speakes told reporters.He said the four Palestinians, who hijacked an Italian luxury John Crosbie.Not alone.RAKED OVER COALS '-as*1 However, the Toronto Star reported Thursday that Mulroney raked Crosbie over the coals in front of the 14-member inner cabinet Wednesday for making the remarks.In the Commons, Liberal George Henderson demanded to know if deputy prime minister Erik Nielsen agreed with Corbett’s view of Mulroney’s staff.“Or should we expect yet another retraction?” Henderson asked as Crosbie sat across the aisle chuckling.Nielsen ducked the question, saying he had not heard the Corbett interview.Mulroney was not in the Commons for question period Thursday.He has been absent six of the last 10 sitting days.Telephone calls to the Prime Minister’s Office on Corbett’s comments and reports that Crosbie had been reprimanded by Mulroney were not returned.Earlier, New Democrat MP Lorne Nystrom poked fun at the report that Crosbie had been given a tonque-lashing by Mulroney as the justice minister laughed and clapped his hands.“I rise in defence of our poor, bedevilled, beleaguered, befuddled minister of justice,” Nystrom said.cruise ship and are said to have killed a U.S.tourist, are in Italian custody “for appropriate legal proceedings.” He also said the United States will “pursue prompt extradition” so prosecution can be undertaken in the United States.Speakes said President Ronald Reagan approved the interception plan at mid-day as he was travelling in the Midwest.The Palestinians, who surrendered to Egyptian authorities on Wednesday, bargained for “safe passage” and the airplane was heading for Tunisia.Earlier, Italian officials said the plane carrying the hijackers landed at a NATO base in Sicily.Was-hingto officials confirmed the Italian account and said U.S.jets intercepted the Egyptian aircraft’s flight to Tunisia and forced it down.During the flight from Cairo, the Tunisian government — apparently heeding a U.S.request to deny the hijackers sanctuary — refused the Egyptian plane permission to land in that North African country, said U.S.administration and intelligence sources in Washington.They didn’t explain how the Boeing 737 was forced down.ASKS CRAXI An Italian government statement said Reagan had asked Premier Bettino Craxi to let the plane land in Sicily, and Craxi agreed, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.Craxi’s spokesman confirmed the premier received a call from the White House, but did not know what was said.The aircraft touched down at Sicily’s Sigonella airport, a NATO base near Catania, at 12:30 a.m.(7:30 p.m.Thursday EDT), said Craxi’s spokesman, who demanded anonymity.“Yes, all the terrorists are on board,” he said, adding it appeared the plane would not be leaving any time soon.He said the plane was escorted by U.S.military aircraft, but he did not know how many.The Washington sources, who also demanded anonymity, said that after the Egyptian jetliner landed, the plane was surrounded by U.S.Navy SEALS, a specially trained combat unit, who planned to take the terrorists off the plane and turn them over to Italian authorities.Italian news agencies quoted Foreign Ministry sources saying there had been a series of contacts between Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti and Egyptian and American officials.Beleaguered Crosbie gets unexpected help Mulroney, Johnson working on deal By Edison Stewart OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Thursday he and Quebec Premier Pierre Marc Johnson have made “some important progress” towards ending a dispute that has scuttled for years attempts to organize a summit of francophone countries which both governments could attend.“We have a little further to go,” Mulroney told reporters with John son standing beside him outside his official residence.“I expect to hear from the pre mier in the next couple of days in this regard but we re moving along.We're both, I think, genuinely searching for an appropriate formula that will be helpful." “I think we can say we understand each other and even that we agree” on the objective, the new Quebec premier added.“However, on the form there remain a few things to settle which are important for both the Canadian government and the Quebec government.” Neither leader indicated what problems remain but a slip of the tongue from Johnson indicated they are not great.He said at one point the summit “will he" held m the coming months, then caught himself and said it “could be.” Officials in both capitals said the day before the meeting that they had reached an agreement in principle that would pave the way for a summit as early as January or February in France and give Quebec the status of “participating government.” A federal official said the agreement calls for a two-part summit, one on international politics and economics where Mulroney would be “very, very much in control” and the other on such matters as education and culture, where Quebec and New Brunswick — which also wants to attend —could have a more direct role.Previous attempts to organize such a summit foundered when Ottawa and Quebec, warring over sovereignty-association and the Constitution, could not agree on what status Quebec would have and France refused to convene the meeting without Quebec's participation SUMMIT IMPORTANT Mulroney likened the summit to the week-long Commonwealth heads-of-government meeting he will attend in the Bahamas next Vfonlr jr nnt this vital French-speaking dimension of our nationality be enhanced as well.” The two leaders met over lunch for two hours and 40 minutes, as much as an hour longer than expected, and many observers wondered aloud whether Mulroney, perhaps fearful of a revival of the Quebec Liberals, was giving Johnson a subtle boost in the election campaign Johnson may launch within the next few weeks.Mulroney also appeared to go out of his way to compliment Johnson, sworn in just nine days ago to replace René Lévesque.“Mr Johnson made his case, as he always does, very effectively and with conviction,” the prime minister said, describing the meeting as “excellent" and thanking Johnson for his courtesy in visi ting with us today.” There w as little discussion of the Constitution.Johnson said his go vernment stands by the proposals Lévesque made in May for greater provincial authority but Mulroney.careful not to embarrass his guest, avoided repeating his view that the negotiations cannot go forward until after the provincial election that must be held early next year at the 1 Hell’s road show rolls in Preliminary hearing into biker deaths makes start By Bobby Fisher SHERBROOKE - Day 1 of a preliminary hearing into the deaths of five Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang members was bogged down Thursday with technical testimony.But a couple of mid-morning surprises made the procedure of wading through specialized testimony easier to bear.Seventeen members of the gang are each charged with five counts of first degree murder in connection with the deaths of five members of the underworld club’s Laval chapter on March 24.They are appearing before Sessions Court Judge Laurent Dubé.The police brought one biker too many to the courthouse Thursday and had to send one back to Montreal for a hearing there.The extra biker was Normand ‘Biff Hamel, who had already been arraigned in Longueuil for the death of another Laval gang member.NO ROOM On Wednesday carpenters had hastily installed bullet-proof

cried Wolf By Tim Naumetz OTTAWA (CP) — Five companies vied for development aid that the federal government eventually awarded to a company owned by Walter Wolf, linked to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and a Conservative movement that helped to oust former Tory party leader Joe Clark, the Newfoundland government said Thursday.But federal Science Minister Tom Siddon stood by his earlier statement that no other company could carry out the project proposed by Wolf’s company, Wolf Sub-Ocean Ltd., in partnership with another company, Cosel Ltd., par tly owned by a British firm.The two firms were promised a total of $1.1 million in federal money this summer to pay part of the costs of developing and selling a remote-controlled undersea vehicle for offshore resource drilling.Opposition MPs say the $363,000 awarded to Wolf Sub-Ocean is in effect payment of a political debt Mulroney owed Wolf for his contribution to Clark’s demise as party leader.Wolf has said he gave $25,000 to the dump-Clark movement through former Newfoundland premier Frank Moores, a friend of Mulroney’s, and Montreal lawyer Michel Cogger, another close Mulroney associate.Moore has denied he received money from Wolf for political purposes.Siddon argued that a committee of federal and Newfoundland offi cials initially approved the project because it met the criteria of a de velopment agreement funded by both governments Final approval came from federal Industry Minister Sinclair Stevens."Thrro r*n?ripa*vf'r in Atlantic Canada capable of undertaking such a project,” Siddon told reporters Wednesday outside the Commons.FIVE APPLIED But Frank Petten, press secretary to Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, said Thursday five other companies, which he said were either based in Newfoundland or operating in the province, originally applied for money from the joint federal-provincial fund to develop undersea vehicles.Petten said four of the five based their proposals on equipment that has already been developed and REDWOOD CITY, Calif. %: f fi traded to the Gulf by its billions of fish and the relatively easy catching.The Indians and Inuit have fished there since thousands of years before that.The Gulf was known to the ancient Vikings and the medieval Basques, with both groups establishing temporary land bases at tiny ports around the edge.Yet in spite of man’s best efforts, the fertile Gulf has been able to survive; the fishermen still come here from around the globe.I don't have a problem with that, as long as the stocks are wisely controlled (at last).HEALTHY FOOD?And — also in spite of man’s best efforts — the waters of the Gulf remain clean enough to produce healthy food But does man?I don’t think so.The plain fact is that Canada’s Atlantic fishermen treat their fish like dirt.I’ve seen it happen all over the Gulf.I’ve seen it in St.Anthony’s, St.John’s and Port aux Basques, Nfld., I’ve seen it in Sydney and Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, I’ve seen it in Souris and St.Charles, Prince Edward Island, I’ve seen it in Campbellton and Kouchoubou-gouac, New Brunswick, I’ve seen it on the Gaspé coast, the North Shore and the Magdalen Islands of Quebec.Watch a boat come in.Watch the sailors tie her up.Watch them take a cigaret break and then get to the work of unloading their cargo of fine, fresh fish.Out come the sho- vels, the scrapers and the knives.Out come the grubby plastic buckets and boxes Out come the greasy hoists and down into the grime-encrusted cargo holds they go.Up come the fish.Up go the contents of the observer's stomach.The fishermen dump their catches on the deck.They clean' them with their dirty knives.They throw the innards overboard (the birds take care of that).Then they scrape them up with the shovels and dump them into the dirty plastic boxes.They throw them up onto the dock.A box tips over on the parking lot.They shovel the fish back in.A neighbor comes by for a few for the freezer.Sure, help yourself, says the friendly captain.’Just dig right in’.The neighbor chooses carefully.He hefts a fish, pries it open with his bare, unwashed hands to inspect the juicy fillet.Not good enough.Throw it back in the box.Pick another, throw it back.Pick another and throw it in his own dirty old bucket, not even dusted off for the occasion.SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED The treatment fish get on the dock shouldn’t be allowed.Other food-product industries have far better standards, while the fishermen’s habits haven't changed since Viking days.A butcher who ran a meat shop like that would be fined, and maybe thrown out of business.A beekeeper who treated his honey like that would find things getting too sticky even for that sweet business.A dairy farmer who poured his milk on the floor and then put it back in the bulk tank would be fined — not by the courts, but by his own association! The lady behind the fish counter On the ¦ r wild side in your corner grocery store is re quired by law to wear a hairnet, gloves and shoes.But the man who caught the fish is allowed to walk all over them, in rubber boots or barefoot, and his Molson hat is op tional — and dirty.The scene I have just described takes place ten thousand times a day in eastern Canada Probably a million times a day around the world.And that’s before the fish gets to the Disco Dick & Friends Fish company plant across town — travelling in open boxes in the back of an open truck.If Canada is to improve the quality of its fish, we had better start where the hook comes off in the hands of the fishermen.‘V h 0» N* §v ^ •' ; o \ «Z- By Charles Bury ij 14gjV MÊÊi mm, ) HgppF I - \ j XI i I.-*.- mi % The drawings are from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada brochure on fishing mehods; they represent the handlining-jigging and longline methods of catching cod.I took the pictures on the federal wharf at the village of Bassin, tie du Havre Aubert, in the Magdalen Islands, Quebec, last week, the next day I went swimming in the ocean.Hut that's another story.Attention E.T.trappers: The government wants your bodies—$20 each Trappers of the Eastern Townships : some people in the provincial government (Uncle Pierre-Marc?) want your bodies!

October 11, 19K5 Living —___togl ueam Dollhouse causes headaches for town council WALKERTON, Ont.(CP)-A little liirl's dream house built recently by her parents may soon become a haunted house for town council.Eight-year-old Heather Eidt has been the envy of all her friends and i lot of kids she doesn't even know since herparents huilt hera pretty, Victorian-style playhouse on their front lawn.The place is painted a dazzling white with black trim, has quaint Gothic arches under its gables and a classy little tower rising above the roof, it even has flowers in its window boxes.Heather’s house is easily the most attractive one on the street and since it was featured on the front page of the local weekly newspaper, it has drawn a lot of curious sightseers.“It takes about five seconds for Heather to run out there and ask them if they’d like to see inside it,’’ says her mother Debbie.The only thing the little mansion doesn’t have is a building permit — and that’s the part that’s beginning to haunt the council in this town 80 kilometres northwest of Kitchener.Debbie Eidt, who made the stained glass to fit above the picture window, arranged the little white picket fences on the lawn and made the curtains for the windows, went to the town office to ask about a building permit.She says she described the building — it’s about 3.6 metres by three metres — and was told it sounded more like a tool shed and as such wouldn't require a permit.NO BACK YARD Normally, tool sheds — and presumably playhouses — go in the back yard, but the Eidts live in an industrial park Their home is an apartment in an industrial building and they have no backyard.So the playhouse went in the front yard — and it’s going to stay there if they have anything to say about it.“If it comes to a battle, we’ll scream pretty hard,” says Heather’s father Bill Town building inspector Karl Heiligers didn’t know the playhouse existed until he saw the picture in the paper.“As soon as I saw it I knew it was something I couldn’t handle by myself,” he says.“If I’d ordered them to tear it down everybody would have said I was against kids.” But Heiligers says even with a building permit, the town’s zoning bylaws don’t allow any kind of separate accessory building in a front yard, not even in an industrial zone.He referred the matter to the town’s planning advisory commit tee, whose members decided the house was bigger than them.It was then sent to town council which will discuss it next week.“I favor following the bylaw,” said Mac Campbell, a planning consultant and member of the planning advisory committee as well astown council.“If you ignore it for one person then you have to ignore it for another.“If the bylaw isn’t a good one then it should be amended, but it should not be infringed.” Heather’s mother will be as disappointed as her daughter if the house is ordered torn down.As a child, she saw a similar playhouse and “always wanted one like it,” she says.“The little house is as much a dream come true for me as it is for Heather.We couldn’t stand to see it torn down.” Police plan 10-hour telethon for charity SHERBROOKE — The Sherbrooke Policemen’s Association is holding the sixth edition of its “Telethon of the Forgotten” on October 2.r>.The telethon will go on for 10 hours, from5 p.m.to 3 a m.in the Eugene Lalonde arena in Sherbrooke and will be broadcast live on CKSH-TV, channel 9.In the past years, Sherbrooke and area residents contributed to the policemen’s efforts through donations to the association.They are asking you to support them again in their volunteer efforts to help the chronically ill and handicapped in the Eastern Townships.i ue ueuiunds are getting more and more numerous and despite the $114,000 collected through the 1984 telethon, the association has had to cut back the number of projects accepted because of lack of funds.The policemen’s association would like to continue its efforts to help the disadvantaged in our community.“We hope you will decide to give us a hand," said Claude Lemieux, president of the association.“You may be assured that the money we collect will all go toward improving the daily life of the chronically ill and handicapped who live around us.” Association provides solution to ‘ telepests ’ Annual craft show offers something for everyone TORONTO (CF) — You work nights and after the riot of getting kids out to school in the morning, things are finally quiet and you're sleeping soundly — when the phone 'by your head rings.Dragging your protesting consciousness from a deep slumber, you pick up the receiver and a chipper, teenage voice pipes: “Hi, I'm Debbie, how are you today?” Before your still-sluggish brain cap reply, she continues: “I’m with Acme Carpet Cleaners and, foC this week only, we have a special two-for-one deal ." You slam the phone down, but it’s too late — you're awake and angry and can’t get back to sleep.Don’t despair By the end of the month, there may be a partial answer, at least, for those who hate getting calls from telephone sales people — telepests, to some.Frank Ferguson, president of the Toronto-based Canadian Direct Marketing Association, said Wednesday that by Nov.1, consumers will be able to have their names removed from national marketing lists used by telemarketers.Ferguson said his association will be publishing a toll-free number for people who don’t want to be bothered by telephone sales people.Their names will be sent to association members and other companies known to use phone sales and those companies will be expected to remove the names from their phone lists.Ferguson said the association will be using a carrot-and-stick approach to convince the nearly 12,000 companies that sell by phone in Canada to use the list.“We’re telling the industry that these people aren't likely going to buy anyway,” Ferguson said.“As well, if they don’t respect the list, there may be legislation that would tie them up in knots.“If they don’t pull up their socks, municipalities might regulate them the way they regulate door-to-door salesmen” who must be registered in many areas of the coun- social notes Knowlton couple honored at farewell supper Owl’s Head

the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has placed restrictions on the use of automatic dialing machines — computers that can call you, play a recorded message and record your answer.The machines, which can make up to 1,000 calls a day, dial sequential numbers so even people with unlisted numbers are not immune to un wanted calls.Last February, the commission ruled the machines may not dial sequentially, must disconnect quickly after the called party hangs up, and can only be used during certain, somewhat civilized hours.“We agree with those restrictions,” Ferguson said.He said the phone sales business “is getting bigger and bigger all the time.It’s highly effective foi those who use it properly.” By “properly,” he explained, he means companies phoning companies, or companies targetting very specific markets as well as making sure sales people give consumers the opportunity to say “no” immediately.For companies just trying to generate sales, telemarketing is “very, very costly,” he said, but “people are going to keep trying it and it’s going to grow.” David McKendry of the Consumers’ Association of Canada said there is little, besides getting on the marketing association’s list, a person can do about phones sales.He said the list is “a step in the right direction” in solving the problem with national marketers.“But it likely won’t save you from the solicitations of the local fitness club or carpet cleaners, ’ ’ he added.McKendry, who monitors regulated industries for the consumers’ association, said the association has not called for further controls on telemarketers because of the apparent consumer acceptance.“There are a hell of a lot of goods and services sold,” he said.“Consumers seem to want it.” Sister Eileen

It took him three months to get a dental appointment — many Montreal dentists in private practice refuse to treat AIDS patients for fear of contamination — and a similar amount of time for cancer treatment.“There is an attitude that you are going to die anyway, so why bother?” he said “But it’sthequa-lity of life, it’s not the length of life that counts.” David Cassidy, a Montreal social worker who deals w ith many of this city’s two dozen AIDS victims, says AIDS patients are being denied care by local doctors, hospital clinics, dentists and home-care workers, although there is no evidence that the disease can be spread through casual contact.But Doug Geekie of the Canadian Medical Association in Ottawa called such a reaction “understandable.” Egyptian women join police force CAIRO ( Reuter) — In this largely Moslem country, women have finally broken into a male preserve — the police force.They are not pounding the beat on Cairo’s dusty streets.But the 25 young female police lieutenants, all university graduates, are working in law-and-order jobs ranging from passport inspection to crime investigation.Employing women for the police force had become “a requirement of a civilized country,” said Gen.Abdel-Ghaffar Khater, director of the specialized police academy in Cairo.“It has also become socially important to have the feminine element among our ranks because they can handle certain tasks better than men,” he said in an interview.The program is experimental and the authorities have an eye on public reaction.“If it proves a success, we will employ more girls,” Khater said.For the moment the women officers, wearing smart white uni- forms topped by peaked caps similar to French kepis, will not go on the beat.“We are not in a hurry .That will have to wait until their presence becomes convincingly acceptable to the man in the street,” Khater said.MARKS FIRST Apart from a handful of doctors and nurses in military hospitals, they are the first female uniformed officers in Egypt.They have degrees in law, arts or social studies and their one-year police training has built on that background.Of the 25, three who speak foreign languages work as passport officers at Cairo international airport.Some work in women’s jails, the Social Affairs Ministry or police hospitals.Others are serving in the criminal investigation department.They take courses in physical training and shooting at the academy and have to go back for a two-week refresher every year which includes judo, karate and other self-defence skills.“We are turning them into tough women so that they can carry out their duties without any problems,” an instructor said.MEN BEHAVE Lt.Fatin Abou Lamoun, one of the group, said the presence of women in the academy and government offices tended to encourage discipline.“Men usually behave and watch their tongues in the presence of women,” she said.The women officers have had their problems in pioneering jobs not done before by women in Egypt.Some said they broke off engagements because their fiances refused to accept their jobs, arguing that police work should be for men only.That sort of argument goes down badly these days at the police academy.“I see no difference between a man and a women in handling any kind of work,” Lt.Rokaya Hamdi said.Tubal ligations increasingly performed MONTREAL (CP) — Tubal ligations — surgery to ensure sterilization — are becoming more popular among young Quebec women as a method of birth control, says a University of Montreal demographer.Nicole Marcil-Gratton says a recent study indicates one in five women opt for tubal ligations by age 31.The reason, she says, is that doctors are more willing to perform the operation and the social tigma attached to it has diminished.Tubal ligations, she noted, were once frowned upon in Roman Catholic societies such as Quebec where women were mainly viewed as childbearers.Now, “the liberalism current in medical practice reflects women’s own attitudes,” she said.“The moral barriers have fallen and the techniques have made great progress." Tubal ligation far outranks the birth-control pill and other methods as a way to avoid pregnancy, statistics indicate, and has become an increasingly popular option for women age 30 or under.An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 Quebec women age 30 or under have the operation each vear LOOSER CRITERIA Basing their conclusions on questionnaires filled out by 215 gy- ADVANCE NOTICE OPENING DANCE Lennoxville Rifle Club Saturday October 19th "The Old Tyme 4” orchestra Everyone Welcome 'osæzsæzszsaæszszszss MASQUERADE DANCE IVES HILL COMMUNITY HALL SAT.OCT.26th 9 P.M.Music by: Bruce Patton Jerry Haseltine Stewart Deacon Prizes for all age groups Judging at 9 30 p m necologists and obstetricians, Marcil-Gratton and colleague Evelyne Lapierre-Adamcyk found increased demand was also linked with looser criteria applied by physicians.Since the early 1970s, after Quebec’s health care system was taken out of the hands of Roman Catholic orders and put under provincial control, Marcil-Gratton said, tubal ligations have numbered between 25,000 and 30,000 annually.In 1971, there were 5,000 such operations in Quebec.She said a major Canadian fertility survey carried out in 1982 “shows clearly sterilization is as widespread in Quebec as it is elsewhere in Canada.” Few women will reconsider their decision for sterilization even when informed that the operation could be final.About five per cent of women in the survey said they regretted their decision, but Marcil-Gratton estimted the figure may be much higher.And reversal may be sought in cases where there has been a marital breakup.Sterilized women, es- pecially those under 30, may want to reverse the operation once they find themselves with a new partner.This trend is increasing along with the upswing in divorces, Marcil-Gratton said.ALMOST ON DEMAND Sterilization is virtually available on demand in Quebec as long as the woman is 25 or older, she note-.The old “100 rule,” formerly used to determinie if a woman qualified, has been discontinued.That consisted of multiplying a woman’s age by the number of children based on a score of 100 and meant that a woman between 30 and 35 was refused sterilization unless she had given birth to at least three children.Now, “the number of requests turned down is very low,” the survey noted.“Less than 10 per cent (are refused) because they did not fulfill the criteria.“As long as the woman is not under 25, she does not face any difficulties getting a tubal ligation,” said Marcil-Gratton.V Enjoy an Evenina of Entertainment with the J BLACK WATCH ’ VETS ASSOC.PIPE BAND at the ARMY-NAVY-AIR-^ FORCE VETERANS l UNIT 318 OCTOBER 19tH at9:00p.m.TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE HUT & ADDITION^ Dance Music with THE CARROUSELS Members & Guests Welcome Hospital to open AIDS clinic MONTREAL (CP) - The first health clinic in Canada specifically for AIDS patients, suspected AIDS victims and people with related diseases is to open later this month at the Montreal General Hospital “We have more and more patients coming in (with AIDS or suspected cases of it),” hospital spokesman Joan Beauchamp said in an interview Wednesday.“Their number and the high risk involved prompted the idea for the centre.” The centre, to be known as the Montreal General Hospital's AIDS Clinic, will combine information about the deadly virus, counselling services, treatment and research, Beauchamp said “There's nothing on this scale or like it in Canada,” said Dr.Chris Tsoukas, an immunologist at the General who is considered likely to be named to head the clinic.“There’s nothing that tries to integrateall this altogether." At last count, Canada had 322 reported cases of AIDS or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, including 85 adults and 16 children under the age of 15 in Quebec, the federal Laboratory Centre for DiseaseControl in Ottawa said.However, the Quebec AIDS Committee reports that there is a total of 131 established cases of the disease in the province at present, Beauchamp said.And to date, hospitals across Canada “handle (AIDS cases) on an ad-hoc basis," she said.TREATMENT REFUSED The announcement of the clinic comes amid reports from Montreal patients and counsellors that doctors, dentists, hospitals and health-care workers have re fused to treat AIDS victims for fear of being contaminated One patient, who complains of ignorance and prejudice among local doctors, was sent home from the emergency ward at Ho'el Dieu Hospital, which handles many of the city’s AIDS cases, after being diagnosed as having the disease.He was then admitted to the General, where doctors told him he would have died without treatment.Details of the financing of the clinic remain to be worked out, Beauchamp said.She said the hospital has asked the provincial government, which is currently cutting hospital budgets, for “as much money as possible.” The precise amount has not been made public.All Beau champ would say was that " are talking millions of dollars.” So far Quebec City has not indicated whether it will approve or re-jeetthe request, she added.But in the meantime, the clinic will rely on a recent $1 million grantby the Medical Research Council of Canada to a Montreal General team, headed by Tsoukas, to research various aspects of the disease and the virus.TIED IN TO RESEARCH The hospital is already equipped with "the most sophisticated computer system in North America for AIDS analysis,” Beauchamp said.And the work will be tied in with research being done at major research institutes in Canada and the United States, such as the Centres for Disease Control in Atlanta.The clinic, which still does not have an opening date, will operate every Monday.It will be staffed by specialists in infec tious diseases, psychiatry, im munology, dermatology and other disciplines as needed Key functions w ill include treating and counselling the patients and their families most victims die within two years of being diagnosed -and keeping the specialists informed of all the latest information about the disease.The clinic will also serve as a centre for diagnosing people w ith AIDS, the AIDS antibodies and AIDS related diseases.Experts think that a person can have AIDS antibodies in his or her blood without ever necessarily getting the disease In recent years, there has been a stream of people coming to the hospital for blood tests to see if they have AIDS or the AIDS anti bodies, Beauchamp said.“The disease is so widespread, so unknown and so much in the spotlight that no one wants to take the risks,” she said.Cystic fibrosis research progresses TORONTO (CP) — A Canadian-led team of researchers has discovered a “genetic marker” that could be the first step in determining the cause and an eventual cure for cystic fibrosis, a baffling disease that strikes one in 1,800 people.Doctors Lap-Chee Tsui and Manuel Buchwald, geneticists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, in conjunction with scientists from a U.S.bio-technology company, have found a genetic site close to the defective gene believed to cause cystic fibrosis.However, the two Canadians, who presented their findings Wednesday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Human Genetics in Salt Lake City, Utah, cautioned it could still take several years before the gene is isolated.Scientists hope discovery of the gene will help them develop tests to determine carriers of the disease and to diagnose the condition in children before symptoms appear.Massey said.Cystic fibrosis is an incurable condition primarily affecting the respiratory and digestive systems.A person suffering from cystic fi brosis inherited the affected gene from each parent.FACT: The Arthritis Society Contact the office has a wide array ot nearest you for information available information.* THfc ARTHRITIS SOCIETY on the control and treatment of arthritis.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 v v 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 V 0 V V 0 0 - - , 117 T;.:-' ¦ ".is;;!-!

awards were distributed this week and selected members of the Football Reporters of Canada are busy calling coaches and gazing into hazy crystal balls.These reporters are asked to select the outstanding Canadian Football League players from their home clubs in five categories on the first ballot.The second round of voting next month narrows the club selections down to East-West divisional winners and the final ballot prior to the Grey Cup championship game determines the final awards.With four weeks remaining on the regular-season schedule, there are many grey areas in 1985, especially for the outstanding player selection.Take British Columbia Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers, for example.Several players have sparked both these teams — who meet tonight in Vancouver — in their first 10 victories.The Lions have received spectacular efforts from quarterback Roy Dewalt, wide receiver Mervyn Fernandez, running back Keyvan Jenkins and cornerback-punt returner Darnell Clash.Dewalt leads the CFL in touchdown passes with 20 and has been intercepted just nine times; Fernandez tops the charts in reception yardage with 1,337 on 76 catches; Jenkins is second in the CFL rushing race with 894 yards and Clash leads in punt return yardage with 853 and is third in interceptions with eight.SIMILAR TALENT There’s a similar spread of talent in Winnipeg in chosing between quarterback Tom Clements, running back Willard Reaves and wide receiver Jeff Boyd.Clements leads in passing yardage with 3,373, Reaves in rushing with 1,180 yards and Boyd in touchdown catches with 11.Reaves won the CFL’s top individual award last year, but this could conceivably by the year of the receiver in the CFL when it comes to A new Quebec park the outstanding player award.When the first-round ballots are counted, it wouldn't be surprising if Fernandez, Boyd, Craig Ellis of Saskatchewan Roughriders (a run ning back who leads in receptions with 84), Emanuel Tolbert of Calgary Stampeders, Nick Arakgi of Montreal Concordes, Waymon Alridge of Ottawa Rough Riders and Terry Greer of Toronto Argonauts advance to the next ballot.The biggest threat to the receivers is scrambling quarterback Matt Dunigan of Edmonton.He has sparked the Eskimos to an 8-4 record and Edmonton is still in the hunt for first place in the West should Winnipeg and-or B.C.falter.Another pivot, Ken Hobart of Hamilton Tiger-Cats, may ultimately be the choice in the Eastern Division, where he’s taken the Ticats on a 4-3 spurt and into the playoff picture in recent weeks.NEWCOMER TO CFL Hobart is a newcomer to the CFL but is not considered a rookie by league officials because he previously played for Jacksonville Bulls of the United States Football League.The choice for most outstanding player is difficult.Dunigan is easily the most valuable player in the CFL this year — the Esks would be groping at the bottom of the standings without him — but the vote is for the outstanding aspect and that’s where Fernandez and Boyd come more clearly into focus.The other Schenley categories — most outstanding defensive player, Canadian, rookie and offensive lineman — are somewhat easier to identify, although picking the top offensive lineman is a guessing game at best and most reporters rely on the advice of coaching staffs.James Parker of the Lions won the defensive award last year, but the early favorites this year appear to be safety Scott Flegel of the Bombers, Clash and rookie tackle Mike Gray of the Lions, defensive end Grover Covington and backs Paul Bennett and Less Browne of the Tiger-Cats, and perhaps cor-nerback Carl Brazley of Toronto Argonauts.Arakgi was the top Canadian last year and will be challenged by Fle-geland Bomber receiver Joe Po-plawski, receiver Ray Elgaard of Saskatchewan Roughriders and Bennett.Slow Terry Fox results LENNOXVILLE — Times were slow at Sunday’s Lennox-ville Terry Fox card, as the five-year-old 5-k and 10-k race were shifted from city streets to a semi-cross country format.While Daniel Quirion took the l()-k in a more-than-respectable 34:00, Daniel Sylvester’s 18:15 for the 5-k was the slowest 5-k wanning time on the local circuit this year - or within recent memory.“That course will be remembered as a bastard," C.A.P.S.runner Georges O’Neill said.Wet grass and tight turns near the start and finish inhibited acceleration.The 10-k course didn't include the second stretch of grass, but both courses featured steep hills, and most daunting of all, 25-mile-an-hour headwinds.Without the headwinds, the Terry Fox layout would be just about average for an Eastern Townships racing card.But it replaces a layout reputed as the region’s fastest.The former 5-k and 10-k courses had to be abandoned because of traffic control problems and because C.P.Rail was unwilling to reschedule an afternoon way-freight to avoid cutting the field in two.While Quirion blew away the 10-k field, finishing 21 seconds ahead of Serge Boivin, Wayne Hughes made Sylvester sweat out top 5-k honors.Younger brother of perennial local contender Wendall Hughes, who went mountain-climbing instead of roadracing, Wayne maintained the family honor with victory in the 20-29 division and fell only six seconds short of edging Sylvester in just his second race of the year.NOTES FROM THE JACKASS: At least four of us ran both ends of the doubleheader: double medalists Johanne Brus and Annette Fontaine; The Jackass, 40:55 for the 10-k, after picking up division tin in the 5-k; and cerebral palsy victim Stuart Coates, whose determination would make him a top contender if only he had two good legs.Flopping on his back after completing the 10-k in 2:33, Coates commented that he didn’t care what his time was.“You know, from this angle you look like Jesus Christ,” he added, Aerobic Sports By Merritt ’Jackass’ Clitton proof positive he’d reached delirium.HALLOWEEN PARTY : We don’t have details yet, but the C.A.P.S.(Coureurs Au Pied du Sherbrooke) are

that the government intends to create Parc Frontenac, and public audiences will be held on the subject on December 13-14 at Thetford Mines.Under the present proposition, the 115.6 kilometre park will be established from the Lac St-Francois border to about 10 kilometres south-east of Thetford Mines.This location has tremendous potential for outdoor activities, and putting this potential into proper use will be the first priority.But, needless to say, the protection of natural resources will also be a priority, as in all Quebec provincial parks.Peat bogs, sugar bushes, beaver dams, lakes and rivers will all have to be adequately protected.The idea to create a park in this remote area has been around for about 20 years.Diverse studies obviously convinved the gover nment that it would be a good idea, since the park will take over all the public land surrounding Lac St-François, and even some of the land on the way to Lac Aylmer.Harvey says that the entire population is welcome to take part in the public hearings.To better inform people, Daniel Richard has been hired by the MRFG to present the current proposals to the public.He says that any individual or organization that wishes to submit a statement at the meetings should send their mémoires to the minister no later than November 29.For more information concerning the creation of this park, contact the MRFG at 85 Holmes St.in Sherbrooke, or telephone (819)821-2020 BIG-GAME SEASON Big-game hunting commenced in certain sections of the province a few days ago.In the Eastern Townships the big-game schedule is as follows: Black

point.A reporter asked the angler at launch time how he felt.“How would you feel," replied the angler, “sitting on 150,000 assorted parts that were all supplied by the lowest bidder.” Lions and Blue Bombers had little time to prepare The coaching staffs of Winnipeg Blue Bombers and British Columbia Lions have had little time this week to prepare for the second meeting in six days between the two strongest teams in the Canadian Football League.Consecutive games between the same teams are rare in the CFL and the Winnipeg-B.C.series provides a rare opportunity for coaches to show the ability to adjust strategies.The Bombers won 33-26 last Sunday in Winnipeg on the strength of two plays — a 52-yard interception return for a touchdown by veteran corner David Shaw and a late-game interception at the Bomber goal line by rookie corner Roy Bennett.The Bombers were conservative at times on offence last week.They had 20 first downs and 440 net yards, without a turnover or a sack of Clements.Error-free execution is a must against a big-play team like the Lions.Bennett will have his hands full again trying to cope with the elusive Fernandez.The Lions need more pressure from their front four, especially tackles Mike Gray and Rick Klas-sen.B.C.also must finish off scoring drives.Twice they were close to the Winnipeg goal line last game and came away with just three points.The Lions are 5-1 at home this season and Winnipeg 3-3 on the road.B.C.by four points Friday on a bomb to Fernandez.MONTREAL (6-6) at EDMONTON (8-4) The Concordes are well rested after a week off and have a new quarterback in veteran Joe Barnes, obtained from Calgary.Montreal will use versatile Rich Thomaselli in place of disappointing sophomore Dwaine Wilson in the backfield to perk up the running game.Montreal has won just once in its last five games.The Eskimos are 5-1 at home this year and Montrai 2-4 on the road.Edmonton has two of the best Canadian running backs in the league in Milson Jones and Chris Skinner to complement the scrambling of pivot Matt Dunnigan.Edmonton’s defence has improved with the addition of pass rusher James Zache-ry in the line.Edmonton by six points Saturday

Near the Great Nebula in the constellation Orion is one such molecular cloud.Astronomers frequently keep their “eyes” — various observation equipment — peeled on this region where, they think, new stars are forming.Most of the stars that do form in such molecular clouds are small, low-mass stars like our sun.A star’s mass, or the quantity of matter in its spherical surface, determines its brightness.The importance of low-mass stars is not to be overlooked, however.This case of billions and bil- lions comprises the most common stars in the universe.SEEING’ IMPOSSIBLE Until the past decade, “seeing” inside molecular clouds was impossible.When backlit by surrounding stars, they appear simply as big dark holes in the star field.Radio telescopes and, more recently, infrared telescopes have begun to probe these stellar incubators, however.Astronomers have found that even more dense, lower temperature regions — called “hydrostatic” or cold cores — are scattered throughout the clouds.These regions will eventually collapse to form “protostars,” objects that have not yet ignited thei r hydrogen cores to become stars.If visible light from protostars is emitted — astronomers aren’t sure that it is — it can’t escape the gas cloud which absorbs and reradiates the light in infrared wavelengths.With infrared telescopes, astronomers can detect infrared “point sources,” or objects emitting radiation thought to be typical of protostars.Meanwhile, advances in computer technology are also helping to write the biography of the stars.Dr.Steven Stabler, another Center for Astrophysics astronomer, says that while radio astronomy has probably been the single most important observational advance for studying star formation, computers have provided the theoretical groundwork.PREDICT BIRTH PROCESS They can mathematically predict the process of star birth for a given set of conditions, such as a specific temperature or rotation rate of the cold core.“The challenge for theorists,” Stabler says, “is to come up with computer models that duplicate real observations made with optical and infrared telescopes.” Stabler is particularly interested in the process that causes cold cores to collapse.Or, even more confounding, “what keeps them from collapsing during the several million years they exist before stars do form.” One prevalent idea among theorists, Stabler notes, “suggests that magnetic fields initially prevent the cold cores from collapsing, but that these fields gradually leak out and collapse begins.” The smallest stars that form are one-tenth of a solar mass (the mass of our sun), says Dr.Paul Ho, who studies star formation and evolution.Below this threshold size, he says, newly formed protostars will not ignite.>5 mm '¦MM.W-Z', .Telescopes carried by huge ballons up to an altitude of95,000feet give astronomers a closer look at the heavens.; • A star is born The Great Nebula in the constellation Orion, where astronomers fre- can be seen in visible light.The Orion Nebula glows from the energy of quently study star formation.A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust that four tightly grouped stars called the Trapezium.For stars the size of the sun, gas and dust in the molecular cloud condense gradually, creating heat at the core that will eventually stop further condensation of the core.When enough heat builds, hydrogen nuclei fuse, releasing enormous amounts of energy in visible light.‘GREGARIOUS’ PROJECT For larger stars — the upper limit is 50 solar masses — the entire process is much faster, Ho says.“It’s a very gregarious process.The biggest stars form together in time and space, then synchronously ignite.I use the analogy of bamboo plants that suddenly flower in unison.” Like a figure skater drawing in his or her arms, forming stars spin rapidly as they condense.New stars, though, spin more slowly, Dr.Lee Hartmann says.Something must occur during formation, he says, to allow them to lose their spin early and efficiently.“Unfortunately,” Hartmann admits, “we don't have any good answers to this question.” A possible scenario, he says, is that the star’s spin is lost to surrounding gas and dust material.This material then flattens under centrifugal force from its spin and could itself collapse to form planets.“There are lots of stars to observe, but only a fraction of them are in the young stage,” says Hartmann of the difficulty of studying the spin problem.A young star is somewhere between 100,000 and 1 million years old — merely “the first instant” in terms of a star’s life, Hartmann adds.The sun is about 5 billion years old — just into middle age.YOUNGSTERS Astronomers may soon have a whole nursery of youngsters to study if the work of Dr.Giovanni Fazio and others is successful.Fazio is involved in several programs that should provide astronomers with more and better infrared images of protostars and starforming regions.Repeatedly during the past three years, he has been sending a 40-inch infrared telescope high into the atmosphere via balloons launched from NASA’s National Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas.The balloon typically flies for 12 hours at altitudes up to 95,000 feet.The advantage of such a large balloon-borne telescope, Fazio says is its ability to scan large areas of the sky.Also, high above the Earth, the telescope is able to record a type of infrared radiation which is otherwise absorbed by lower layers of the planet’s atmosphere.Fazio’s observations concentrate mainly on star-forming regions in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.“By looking at different regions in different stages of evolution, we begin to get an idea of what any one star looks like as it forms,” Fazio says.DEATH OF STARS “Star formation is only one of many things that can be studied with this kind of observing,” he adds.Interestingly, he notes, infrared radiation is also associated with supernova explosions; that is, the death of stars.Looking ahead, Fazio expects to launch a balloon-borne, 120-inch infrared telescope in the next three to four years.He’s also busy designing cameras for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility scheduled to be launched by the space shuttle in the early 1990s.This new telescope is expected to bring back the best pictures yet of the infrared sky.Ground-based observatories will, of course, continue to be important, providing backup information on objects first identified by balloon or satellite borne telescopes.Another useful tool, Myers says, would be a “submillimeter array,” or collection of specialized radio antennas to detect extremely short radio waves.Although such an array has never been built, astronomers at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics are examining th“ possibility.REVEAL NEW INFORMATION The short radio waves detected by the instrument, Myers says, would reveal important new information about the universe, including the birth of stars.In fact, Myers predicts, the next decade will see the most important advances in our knowledge of how stars are born.In his own field, Myers wants to take a closer look at the internal motionsof star-forming regions.In regions where stars form, the motions of the cold material seem to be slower.“We want to try and see a region in the act of forming a star — the smoking gun,” he says.?, y ¦Ml;

Colebrook.N.H was the scene of the annual reunion of the descendants of Colonel William Williams who lived in several cities of Southern Vermont before coming to Canada.Colonel Williams was said to have been of a wandering nature and so must his family have been.They were born in Wilmington, Vt., and came to Sawyerville, Que., to take up land.One son Aseph had a large tract of land in Sawyerville near the Grove Hill Cemetery where he and many of Colonel Williams' descendants are laid to rest.He married Jerusha Allen of Thet-ford, Vt., and they had fifteen children.He has one great-granddaughter still living.She is Mrs.Nina Williams Tabor of Cole-brook, N.H., is 94 years old, lives with her daughter Sarah Cummings and looks forward to the reunion each year.She spends her time mending, knitting and playing games.Another of the Colonel’s sons, William, had a daughter married to Hiram French.We were pleased to have with us his great-great-granddaughter Muriel French Fitzsimmons.She is the proud possessor of Colonel Williams' powder horn, the only valuable we have of this famous soldier and statesman.He served in the so-called, French War which ended in 1763 and in the Revolutionary W’ar.He represented Wilmington, Vt., in the convention at Windsor which adopted the American Constitution.It was a day for visiting and fun, and began with the arrival of a comic pair who turned out to be friends of Sarah Cummings.They acted as announcer and commentator for the Hat Competition.It’s hard to say which was funnier, the hats or the comments.Mr.and Mrs.Fred Foss acted as judges.Phyllis Williams won the prize for the smallest hat and Bill Cummings for the largest, Keri Williams, the prettiest, Doug Williams, the most original, June Williams, the funniest, and a gentleman from the area, for the homeliest.Bill Cummings and Jim Kitte-redge had a busy morning cooking pothole beans, large kettles of corn, and barbecuing chicken.Everyone brought something to add to the bountiful meal.Doug and Kathy Williams entertained the younger members with games, competitions and prizes.Some went boating on the pond.The not-so-young enjoyed looking at the old photographs in the albums brought by the Kingsleys.Williams family cookbooks were given out.Relatives attending were Mr.and Mrs David W’atson, Keith and Tracey, Worcester, Mass., Mr.and Mrs.Donald Yensen,
