Maclean's also says that "according to some party officials,” the Dorval faction is not the only one now asking convention delegates to vote in favor of a leadership review.“Loosely connected cells of malcontents have been formed across the country," it says.PI iP SsPv-iîB.-SiSçi _ l Pljpi.l LI II11 ,,1 F % 1 How many people can be fed from one whole steer?Well, this weekend the people at Bishop’s

official death toll nearing 1,000, weary rescue workers battled diminishing odds today of finding more survivors of the violent earthquake that devastated El Salvador’s capital.President Jose Napoleon Duarte put the number of known dead from Friday’s disaster at 976 late Monday.He said 8,176 people were injured and that tens of thousands left homeless were living in makeshift tents and shacks in streets, parks and fields.In a nationally televised address, Duarte said 1,075 aftershocks were registered since the first major shock tumbled and cracked buildings throughout the city.Of the 200 aftershocks Monday, 26 were strong enough to be felt by the capital’s nervous residents.One jolt, measuring 4.5 on the open-ended Richter scale, caused further damage to a number of buildings, including the General Hospital on the city’s south side, Duarte said.Rescue efforts centred today on the wreckage of the five-storey Ruben Dario building and another office building known as Edificio Duenas, both in the centre of this capital city of 800,000.The U S.Embassy said rescue efforts ceased at 20 other major buildings after experts using dogs and listening devices decided there was no further hope of finding anyone alive in the rubble.Rescuers pulled three more survivors out from the Ruben Dario building Monday.The two women and one man were quickly wrapped in inflatable bags to simulate the pressure on their bodies during the days of entombment in order to prevent shock.After 22 million, Expo hosts emotional farewell VANCOUVER (CP) — Expo 86, the giant party that became a test of patience for record-breaking crowds, closed Monday with an emotional farewell for employees.As thousands of them joined hands inside B.C.Place Stadium to sing Peace on Earth and Auld Lang Syne, they clearly signified the fair's most valuable resource — its people.It was a sentiment shared by officials and 22 million visitors who streamed onto the site and through the more than 80 pavilions during the fair's 165-day run After their national leaders failed to reach a nuclear weapons reduction pact.United States and Soviet pavilion staff started the gesture of goodwill by marching into the stadium hand-in-hand during the parade of international, provincial and corporate participants.Lorraine Baron of North Vancouver, one of the final-day visitors who pushed attendance to 22,111,578, said her most lasting memory of the fair is “being with people from all over the world in such great harmony.” An unseasonably warm Thanksgiving weekend sent locals scur- rying to the site for a final glimpse.More than 341,000 crammed the 70-hectare elongated site Sunday, breaking by 85,000 the single-day record set a day earlier.The fair had initially forecast 13.75 million visits, but when itope-ned May 2 under a persisent drizzle and in the presence of Prince Charles and his wife, Diana, Expo chairman Jim Pattison said 20 million visits was possible.STAYS TO WATCH On Sunday, tens of thousands stayed to watch the spectacular closing fireworks — a fantasy finale to an unpretentious fair that clearly delivered on its promise of a good time.“I think it’s one of the finest things that's ever happened to this city," said Brian Mallard of Vancouver as he logged his 20th visit.Pattison.the multi-millionaire businessman whose single-minded devotion to the fair led to his receiving much of the credit for its success, was given a standing ovation at the closing ceremony.He praised the participants, but paid special thanks to the fair's “real heroes" — the 25,000 people who worked on the site.LEARN FROM MEXICO David Aguayo, head of a Mexican rescue team, said the technique was learned in the September 1985 earthquake that ravaged Mexico City, where many of those rescued from wrecked buildings died of heart attacks because of sudden change of pressure on their internal organs.Four days of blistering heat have enveloped parts of the downtown area in the stench of decomposing bodies.Grieving Salvadorans were burying their dead in cemeteries around the city.Many were buried in mass graves, their families too poor to buy private plots.Duarte said 2,379 homes were levelled by the earthquake.Almost 31.000 families, approximately 150.000 people, were forced to live in the streets because their homes were destroyed or too heavily da- maged to return to, he added.U.S.Ambassador Edwin Corr told a news conference that reconstruction of the capital could take years and that he would request additional U.S.funds for the stricken country, already reeling from seven years of civil war.Canada has said it will send $150,000 in cash to El Salvador to aid earthquake victims.In Toronto on Thanksgiving Day, volunteers for the Canadian El Salvador Relief Fund worked in a church basement, taking hundreds of calls from people in several Ontario cities who were pledging assistance or inquiring about friends and relatives in San Salvador.No injuries have been reported among the 36 Canadians registered as being in El Salvador with the Canadian Embassy in Costa Rica.Another 19 Canadians are also known to be in the country.Rich get richer: man has $4.5 billion NEW YORK (AP) — The annual Forbes magazine list of the wealthiest people in the United States is topped by an Arkansas retailer who is proof that the rich often do get richer.Sam Walton, 68, founder of the Wal-Mart discount stores, has more money than any other American, said the annual Forbes 400.His $4.5 billion is impressive.Last year, when he also topped the list, he had a paltry $2.8 billion.He’s not alone.There were 25 other billionaires, up from 14 last year.The list, which will appear in the Oct.27 issue of Forbes, also includes some famous newcomers including Merv Griffin, Dick Clark and Ralph Lauren.Two men tied as the second-richest individuals in the United States.Both John Kluge of Charlottesville, Va., and H.Ross Perot of Dallas are worth $2.5 billion, said the magazine.Kluge sold his Metromedia assets to jump from 10th place, while Pe- rot, who sold his holdings in Electronic Data Systems to General Motors in 1984, was runner-up last year.Griffin, a television producer and former talk show host, Merv Griffin was listed at $235 million Clark, also a television producer and host of American Bandstand, is worth $180 million.Lauren was listed at $300 million.The list included television producers Aaron Spelling at $235 million and Mark Goodson at $300 million.Motown Records' Berry Gordy, the second black to make the list, is worth $180 million.Among the new billionaires on the list are Barbara Cox Anthony and Anne Cox Chambers, whose empire includes the Cox Enterprises group of newspapers and broadcast stations, and even extends to the TV program, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.Walton's fortune grew 60 per cent from last year's estimate of $2.8 billion thanks primarily to the increased value of his stock holdings in Wal-Mart, the magazine said.No promises for next talks WASHINGTON (AP) - President Ronald Reagan said Monday the United States and the Soviet Union “are closer than ever before" to eliminating ballistic missiles and he said he remains ready “to pick up where we left off” in an attempt to break the impasse over the future of Star Wars.In a speech broadcast from the Oval Office.Reagan reviewed the collapse of his summit talks Sunday with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik.“I cannot promise, nor can any president promise, that the talks in Iceland or any future discussions with Mr.Gorbachev will lead inevitably to great breakthroughs or momentous treaty signings,” Reagan said.And he insisted "we prefer no agreement than to bring home a bad agreement to the United States.” Reagan said Gorbachev gave no indication “when or whether” he would come to the United States for the summit the leaders went to Iceland to prepare for.“Our invitation stands,” Reagan said.“We continue to believe additional meetings would be useful.But that’s a decision the Soviets must make.” After refusing to compromise with Gorbachev on the testing of his hypothetical strategic defence system, Reagan said: “We are dealing now from a position of strength, and for that reason we have it withing in our grasp to move speedily with the Soviets toward even more breakthroughs.” TEXT REWRITTEN Reagan worked on his speech up to the last hour, and an official said speechwriters reworked drafts and the president made some last-minute changes in the text the White House customarily has ready well in advance of Reagan’s delivery.Meanwhile, an official travelling to the U.S.from Brussels with State Secretary George Shultz, said Shultz will attend an international human-rights conference in Vienna in early November, and may at that time meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze.In his speech, Reagan said: “Our ideas are out there on the table.” He was referring to the two superpowers’ unfinished agreements to phase out medium and long-range nuclear missiles by 1996."They won’t go away,” he said.“We are ready to pick up where we left off.So there is reason — good reason — for hope.” Reagan painted a much more optimistic picture than Shultz, who announced the collapse of the summit talks 28 hours earlier, saying there arc no plans for resumption of bargaining.“We made progress in Iceland,” Reagan said.Explaining why the pact fell apart over his insistence on testing and development of strategic defence systems.Reagan said: “I realize some Americans may be asking tonight: ‘Why not accept Mr.Gorbachev’s demand?Why not give up SDI for this agreement?“The answer, my friends, is simple.SDI is America’s insurance policy that the Soviet Union would keep the commitments made at Reykjavik.” Let go, will y a?m KBCOKD/GRANT SIMEON I he Bishop’s Gaiters may have stopped Carleton slotbaek Leo Benve-nuti on this play — but this was about the only

Canadian counterparts for too long and the only solution is to impose penalty duties on lumber imports from Canada, Idaho Gov.John Evans said Monday.Evans said “it’s too late” to consider a negotiated settlement to the long-standing dispute even though that would have been his preferred route a few months ago.“Obviously we’re going to have to have a duty,” he said during an interview as he gulped down an egg-salad sandwich.“And I support that concept.” Evans was commenting during a break from his campaign for the U.S.Senate as Democratic challenger to Republican Steven Symms, one of the leading foes of Canadian lumber imports in Washington.Evans, governor of Idaho since 1978, said cheap lumber imports from Canada have forced dozens of mills to close during the last few years in the lumber-producing state, something he said could have been prevented if the United States had taken action sooner.The lumber dispute has been a major sore point in Canada-U.S.trade relations for months and Trade Minister Pat Carney warned last week a decision to penalize Canadian lumber would erode public support in Canada for a freer-trade deal between the two countries.Evans played down the importance of a freer-trade pact and said Canada and the United States should concentrate on settling current disputes instead of aiming for a comprehensive pact.As long as there is unhappiness in the United States over imports of Canadian hogs, lumber, cattle and potatoes, the idea of a freer-trade deal will be very difficult to accept, he said.EXPECTS RULING U.S.trade authorities are expected to issue a preliminary ruling later this week on whether Canadian lumbermen are unfairly subsidized and whether duties should be imposed on lumber imports from Canada, worth about $4 billion Cdn last year.Evans said the gap between Canadian and U.S.timber-cutting fees has allowed Canadian lumber producers to flood the U.S.market with cheap timber and drive down U.S.prices.“We should not have tolerated that for this length of time,” he said.* ' Program has employees learn airport vigilance TORONTO (CP) — In increasing numbers, Canadian air travellers and airport employees are tipping off authorities about suspicious people, luggage and parcels.A new federal government program designed to raise awareness of terrorism is responsible for the trend, police and government officials say.The Transport Canada project Security Awareness is a copy of the Neighborhood Watch program that many Canadian communities have adopted against burglars.It uses posters, videotapes, pep talks and other aids to teach Canadians what has become second nature to Europeans — vigilance.The program enlists airport workers as members of the Canadian Airport Security Association, giving them lapel pins and membership cards.Early results show such strategies work.At Mirabel Airport near Montreal, where the program was developed, the RCMP detachment receives terrorism-related calls at the rate of about six a day, Insp.Lionel Lepage says.At Toronto’s Lester B.Pearson International Airport, the RCMP detachment receives at least five calls a week, Staff Sgt.Larry Gallagher says.In Vancouver, a spokesman refused to estimate the number of calls the RCMP receive, but he said there have been more calls in the past several months than ever before.IN LOW GEAR The program is still in low gear, with thousands of airport workers still to be indoctrinated.A video program for passengers in the boarding areas of airports will begin next month in Toronto as part of Crime Prevention Week.Before the Air-India crash in June 1985, there was little incentive for airport workers to show extra vigilance.It was at Pearson airport that RCMP believe a bomb-laden suit-ease sent on a CP Air flight from Vancouver was transferred to the Air-India flight.The Boeing 747 blew uphoff the coast of Cork, Ireland, killing the 329 passengers and crew aboard.The Canadian program results from that explosion and another one — within an hour of the Air-India crash — at Narita Airport in Tokyo.___ttei record George MacLaren, Publisher.56#-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.SS9-634S Uoyd G.Scheib, Advertising

major power deal with Mew England, Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa pulls a ceremonial lever with Governor of Mew Hampshire John Sununu.Standing just on the right of Bourassa (in the center) is Governor of Vermont, Madeline Kunin.SHERBROOKE — After three years of planning, Hydro-Quebec has finally plugged into a new hydro power market in New England.The pipeline connection with the New England Power Pool, at Monroe, N.H., about 100 kilometres south of the border, was officially inaugurated Friday.Present at the opening was Quebec Premier, Robert Bourassa.Governor of New Hampshire, John Sununu, Governor of Vermont, Madeline Kunin, and Quebec Minister of Energy and Resources, John Ciaccia.The line will allow Hydro-Quebec, a crown corporation, to furnish power to New England.The terms of agreement appear in a contract signed in 1983 between Hydro-Quebec and the New England Power Pool.Bourassa said the electricity deal between Quebec and New England “is an advantage for both sides (of the border).” And New Hampshire Governor Sununu said in French.“We must continue to work together.” The interconnection will permit Hydro Quebec to sell 33 billion kilowatt hours of energy over the next 11 years the contract runs (from 1986 to 1997).The deal translates into a $1.1 billion business deal for Quebec.News-in-brief Drapeau steps up attack MONTREAL (CP) — Retiring Mayor Jean Drapeau has stepped up his attack on the leader of the opposition Montreal Citizen’s Movement, saying Jean Dore is hiding his real political colors to fool the electorate.In an interview published Monday in Le Journal de Montreal, the city’s largest circulation daily, Drapeau reiterated his charge that Dore is a socialist, an attack Dore has dismissed as red-baiting.Emergency deal helps children MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec Health and Social Services Department will provide an emergency $2.2 million to help deal with 3.300 children currently on the waiting list of youth protection services.About one fifth of the list involves cases of physical or sexual abuse, for the most part of children under 11.Rurals join in Quebecair demand MONTREAL (CP) — Remote communities in northern and eastern Quebec

liver transplant since August was reportedly doing fine Monday after a successful operation over the weekend.Pierre-Luc Charron, of Gatineau, Que., is in Montreal’s Sainte-Justine hospital recovering from the transplant surgery.Doctors will release details of the infant’s exact condition during a press conference today, but initial reports said Pierre-Luc was doing well.Bouchard to Paris delegation QUEBEC (CP) — Veteran journalist Jacques Bouchard, an editorial writer at the Montreal daily La Presse, has been named director of information for the Quebec government's delegation in Paris.Bouchard will take up his post in November for two years, with a possible one-year extension, International Relations Minister Gil Re-millard announced in a statement.Juneau will bare his soul OTTAWA (CP) — CBC President Pierre Juneau is expected to bare his soul this week before the federal broadcast regulator when it opens public hearings to judge the Crown corporation’s plans and performance.Juneau’s own performance will be a measure of the man who has carried the network through some tough times that probably will get tougher.Besieged by budget cuts and the promise of more to come, the CBC continues to field demands for more services and stronger Canadian programs.Francophones vote for control TORONTO (CP) — Ontario francophones will vote this month in elections designed to give them greater control over their schools.About 500,000 eligible voters will elect francophone trustees to 47 Roman Catholic school boards and 43 public boards during voting beginning Wednesday to Oct.30 in public meetings across the province.It’s all part of new legislation that gives some control of the operation of French-language schools to ratepayers who were educated in French and to parents of students enrolled in French schools.B.C.sends two to legislature VANCOUVER (CP) — Voters in about one third of British Cplumbp's ridings wilj send two members to the provincial legislature in the Oct.22 general election — a rarity in Canadian politics.They are residents of 17 dual ridings, which political scientists consider an anachronism.The only other province with dual ridings is Prince Edward Island where all 16 constituencies have two members.Devine’s farmer deal a mystery REGINA (CP) — Alberta and Manitoba officials say they know nothing of an agreement announced by Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine concerning $457 million in federal payments for his province’s farmers.Devine, who is also Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister, told reporters in Saskatoon last week provincial and federal deputy agriculture ministers agreed in Ottawa last Thursday that 1986 production figures should be used to divide the $1 billion promised by Ottawa among the provinces.Embassy protests trial plans MANAGUA (AP) — The U.S.Embassy in Managua has protested the Nicaraguan government’s plan to try a captured U.S.citizen in a People’s Tribunal, saying Monday it amounts to kangaroo-court justice.An embassy note to the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry said the U.S.government “strongly protests the processing of this case by the Anti-Somocista People's Tribunal, a non-judicial body which affords few, if any, of the rights and protections to accused persons generally called for by international conventions and treaties.” Mitterrand won’t run again CAYLUS, France (Reuter) — President Francois Mitterrand said Monday he does not intend to run for a second seven-year term in France’s next presidential election, due in 1988.The Socialist leader, speaking to reporters after watching military manoeuvres in southwest France, did not categorically rule out changing his mind later but said he does not expect to do so.Thanks Queen for seeing old man PEKING (CP) — Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping welcomed the Queen today in a secluded traditional courtyard once used by China’s emperors and thanked her for visiting “an old man.” Wiesel gets Nobel Peace Prize OSLO (CP) — Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust and a pioneer of human rights efforts in the post-Second World War era, has been awarded the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize, the prize committee announced today.“Wiesel is a messengerto mankind; His message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity.His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief,” the citation from the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.Peres-Shamir swap delayed TEL AVIV (CP) — The job swap between Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir was delayed f.o-day for at least 24 hours by a dispute over cabinet posts, officials said.Uzi Baram, secretary general of Peres’s Labor party, said the delay was due to its dissatisfaction with Shamir’s plans for the composition of the new government.He said Labor continued to oppose the return of former finance and justice Minister Yitzhak Modai, forced to resign in July after repeatedly insulting Peres.NATO upset talks were a failure BRUSSELS (AP-CP) — NATO allies expressed disappointment Monday that arms reduction initiatives were derailed at Reykjavik by a dispute over Star Wars.However, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark of Canada said the Soviet-American summit marked an important step toward reaching agreement on arms control.The NATO allies, briefed on the weekend superpower summit on Monday by U.S.State Secretary George Shultz, expressed particular disappointment that an agreement was blocked to rid Europe of medium-range U.S.and Soviet missiles.Man sleeps as car drives into wall CLAY, N.Y.(AP) — Daniel Allison said he didn't even wake up when a car crashed through the window of his ground-floor apartment and flew over his bed.“I didn’t hear a noise, but I woke up because I felt something on top of me,” Allison said Monday.“I pulled a piece of the wall off my chest.” “I looked, and two to three feet beyond my bed 1 saw the back tires of the car sitting there spinning,” said Allison, 22.The car, its engine still running and wheels turning, sat amid wrecked appliances in his kitchen.Water sprayed from pipes the vehicle had smashed on its way through his bathroom.The rude awakening occurred early Saturday in a Syracuse, N.Y., suburb when the car, driven by 70-year-old Hazel Maseato of Clay, hit a parked vehicle.That launched both cars over a curb and into the wooden apartment building, police said.Neither she nor Allison were injured.The car that had been parked was stopped by the wall, but Mascato’s car kept going, police said.Police said Maseato was charged with driving while intoxicated.Weather Foggy today with rain this afternoon and a high of 14.Low tonight of 4.Rain Wednesday with a high of 14.Doonesbury BY GARRY TRUDEAU .AND7MB SOMSWZONPmS!

"They are interested in buying something North American.Cur- rently they export in Italy, Germany and Switzerland," said Lavoie.Lavoie says he does not think the takeover would mean any hirings, firings or lay offs of employees currently working at ICT.“I think they (CFC) expect to increase sales and in that case they would need more new employees," he said.“It could possibly affect the ICT employees but I think not.” Lavoie says ICT has been in financial trouble almost since the company opened its doors in November 1984.“They don’t have enough sales to keep them going,” he said, adding that the company was also short of funds."When you start a business like that, you need a good market." Lavoie said the problem was also due to insufficient stock.“There’s not enough stock.They would need about $2 million in stock and it costs money to have that," said the commissioner."ICT makes about $1.5 million annually and they need $3.3 million annually to break even,” he said.Lavoie said the French company will invest $1 million in stock and equipment if the takeover bid goes as planned."The French company thinks ICT is missing essential equipment for production and their $1 million investment will buy that equipment." Currently five former employees are taking ICT to the Quebec Human Rights Commission.The five say they were dismissed without reason.Lavoie said he didn't think the takeover bid would affect the court case in any way.Lawyer for the five, Raynald Frechette could not be reached for comment.Beebe mayor Lucien Gagnon said he "wants to wait until the deal is closed before making any comments.” Pelletier says he may have been too quick to make changes By Philip Authier SHERBROOKE — Saying if he made one mistake in his term as mayor it was to try and do things too fast, Sherbrooke Mayor Jean Paul Pelletier has officially launched his re-election campaign.But at this point, no challengers have emerged to vie for this city’s highest seat, even though there are only five days left to legally do so.City Councillor Hillaire Beli-veau, touted for a few> weeks as the man to take on Pelletier after former Quebec Justice Minister Raynald Fréchette decided against running, said last week he too is not interested.The only other challenger for the job is local ecology movement representative Jean-Jacques Le Roux who, as of Friday, had yet to make his candidacy official.Pelletier, however, said he is not waiting to start his campaign machine going.If no one emerges, and even reporters at a news conference last week were unable to come up with the name of a possible challenger.Pelletier said he will conduct an information campaign instead.One way or the other though, the former police chief said he is ready.“To be very frank with you, it does not really bother me to have competition,” Pelletier said.“I believe I have accomplished a great deal over the past four years and I’m offering my services for an additional four years.” “I am not afraid of competition, I never have been and I hope I will never be because if you are afraid of competition it’s that you may be weak.And I don’t feel weak.” During his address, Pelletier listed a long list of what had been done during his term, from the revitalization of Sherbrooke’s downtown core to the expansion of many existing business and industries.He cited the record of Sherbrooke Hydro, the city’s power utility.Pelletier said when he came to office the plan was to sell it to Hydro-Quebec.By stopping the plan and re-organizing the utility, Sher- Municipal elections ’86 brooke Hydro is now turning a profit.With the help of others, Pelletier said Sherbrooke has become the envy of many municipalities.Part of that is due to the city's dropping unemployment rate.Taxes have also been held down during his term, Pelletier added.Pelletier admitted to reporters that the city had benefitted from the overall economic upswing during his term but said the city was better prepared to take advantage of the renewal because of its close ties with the federal and provincial governments.As for the future of anglophones in the city, Pelletier said he has a great number of anglophone friends who keep him posted on their needs.“I have a great many English-speaking friends who also coach me as to what is required and what they would like to see,” Pelletier said.“Of course I have a great deal of respect, as you well know, for all the population and that includes, of course, the English speaking population.” Pelletier said he thought the situation for the city’s anglophones was fair at this point but he would be willing to hear any suggestions on improving them.“If there are modifications, I’m willing to receive any and all suggestions.” Pelletier, in response to a question, said if there was one thing he learned in his term, it is that as much as he would like to operate the city like a business, there are frustrating delays in getting things done in a government because of the need to consult.But, that he said, is politics and he has learned to adjust and feels confident, whether there is a vote or not, people have full confidence in him.The election is Nov.2.Smuggling preliminary put off to

- A report on conditions in South Africa’s apartheid state went a long way towards sparking a world wide dialogue on the strife-ridden country and the imposition of limited economic sanctions, says the former Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.W.E.(Ted) Scott, the Canadian who was part of the Common wealth’s Eminent Persons mission to South Africa, said the group — during its six month mandate — reliably documented the reality of apartheid for the first time in 30 years.And now that it has been exposed, the South African government can no longer hide behind a shield of propaganda.Bishop Scott, who retired as the head of Canada's 2.5 million Anglicans in June, made the comments here over the weekend.He was in town to deliver the Thanksgiving Day (Homecoming) address to several hundred former and current Bishop’s College School students and staff.“Those things (the sanctions) would not have happened, had the report not been there,” said Bishop Scott, still spry at 67.“Mrs.(Margaret) Thatcher, I think, hoped a different kind of report would have come out.” “What the South African government has been doing is carrying on a clever propaganda campaign,” Bishop Scott said.“The reality is the apartheid system is structured on violence, and black violence is a response to violence.” KEY FIGURE This is not the first time the bishop has spoken out on human rights and justice issues.He was a key figure in talks leading up to a Canadian Constitutional accord.His wide-ranging knowledge of Canada’s native people made him a key figure in the Berger investigation into northern development.His esposal of progressive causes here and abroad — born in a Canadian prairies Depression upbringing — has earned him the tag, the “pink primate”.In addition to his work as primate, he was elected moderator of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches in December 1975.In 1978 he was admitted a Companion of the Order of Canada (Companion is the highest of the three membership levels in the order i So, according to the bishop, being chosen to serve on the Commonwealth committee only made sense (he was Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s second choice after former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau turned down the job).However, the experience has not made life any easier for a man who during his life has visited every Canadian province and territory 10 times and long ago gave up calculating the number of miles he has travelled.“It’s made life infinitely less comfortable for me, once you've been exposed to the reality of those structures and see some of the tragic elements of our world and the tragic elements of our institutions," he said.“The situation that exists there now is not accidental.It came about because individuals and groups made decisions and we always live with the consequences of our decisions.” PRESSURE In South Africa, 4.5 million whites dominate 24 million nonwhites.Increasingly, world leaders are being pressured to step up a campaign to bring the curtain down on the apartheid system of P.W.Botha's government before the country erupts in civil war.In the last few months, under intense pressure, some limited economic sanctions have been announced by the United States, the United Kingdom, members of the European Economic Community and Canada.Sanctions are key in Scott’s book too.not only because they give a signal to South Africa's blacks that the rest of the world is watching but also as a means to pressure the government.In that sense, Bishop Scott does not support the view that the system can be changed only through domestic reform.The case of KwaZulu Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi is a good example.The chief supports the Botha government.“He tries to walk the middle way, gets caught in the middle, and gets used by the government too often,” he said.EVER-ACT1VE Bishop Scott, although retired, is still a busy man in Canada’s third largest denominational church (the Catholic and United churches are the first two).He has been organizing an office to answer the many letters he receives and has given about 20 speeches in the last six months on the South African question Over and above changing the storm windows on his Toronto home.Bishop Scott has been following up on the work of the Commonwealth committee.He has also been reflecting and writing on the role of church state-relations.“I don’t think the churches have learned the best way yet to shape public policy,” he said.“I don’t think churches should control public policy but I think Christians are also citizens and the church is a world wide institution that affirms certain values.” “I think it should be concerned with how to shape the values and give expression to those values.” In that vein, he has been writing on how important it is for Anglicans who want to enrich the world to do it through their parish communities.Being out of office has made that a little easier, he noted, because for the first time people are more likely to respond to him as a person, rather than responding to him as The Primate.And given the reception he was given at BCS last weekend, he seems well on his way towards succeeding.i RECORD/PHIL1P AUTHIER Former Archbishop Ted Scott strolls into the DCS chapel escorted hy Jason Macioge, 16, (left) and Kayla Jackson, 15.Townships talk COWANSVILLE (JM) — Claude Sicard, Denis Grenier, and Michel Constantineau, all of Montreal, have pleaded guilty to a series of charges stemming from a pair of burglaries.The three are accused of conspiracy to commit crimes in Montreal on September 22, 1986, to burglaries and thefts from two dwellings in St.Alphonse de Granby and one in Brigham on September 22, and to possession of stolen goods valued in excess of $5,000 in Montreal on September 22.Their lawyers had earlier elected jury trial and the trio were remanded pending bail hearings.When the date for the bail hearings came up all three pleaded guilty as charged.Sicard and

Surprise.The latest super power summit is over and nothing has changed.The United States will continue working on its ‘star wars’ defence system and the Soviet Union will continue building its defensive — and offensive — capabilities.The reason that nothing has changed is that neither nation is willing to give up one iota of what they perceive to be their military advantage.Reagan’s intransigence concerning the proposed strategic defence initiative is based upon the belief that the United States has an exploitable technological advantage over the Soviets and that the development of a space-based defence system is within the grasp of American scientific expertise.For his part, Gorbachev desperately wishes to avoid moving the arms race to space since the renewed financial demands of an escalated defence program would put a further strain on the already floundering Soviet economy.It would also mean certain death for most, if not all, of Gorbachev’s proposed domestic reforms.On the other hand, maintenance of the status quo, or an introduction of the cosmetic reductions in nuclear weapons proposed by Gorbachev, would leave the Soviet Union with what it perceives as relative parity in the nuclear sphere and a definite advantage in conventional forces.What is perhaps most upsetting in all of this is that Canada, as one of the ‘hostage’ nations — a group than includes every country on earth with the possible exception of France, Britain and China, who possess their own very deadly arsenals — is unable to deflect either the Soviets or Americans from their deadly path.The word ‘unable’ is unfortunately applicable here, despite the firm belief of the world’s many disarmament groups, since w'hat is required is a complete change in the attitude of not one but both of the super powers.The type of change that can only come from within.With this in mind, it seems that a far more rational starting point would be for both nations to convince the other that despite both past rhetoric and action neither is interested in world domination.The Soviets would have to remove its troops from Afghanistan, cease arms shipments to Central America and insure that its client states such as Cuba discontinued military support to such trouble spots as Angola and Ethiopia.The United States, in turn, would stop shipping weapons to the Contras and the Afghanistan insurgents and cease its concerted program of destabilization in areas of the world it sees as pro-Soviet.Finally, in areas where continued violence threatens global peace efforts, the Soviet Union and the United States could try working in concert for a change.The result would perhaps be disasterous for certain countries where internal strife would mean continued destruction.But as the supply of arms and equipment ran out and the combined force of Soviet-American might came to bear, many of these trouble spots would be forced into a peaceful settlement.Once these many areas of friction between East and West ceased to be an irritant and once both sides realized the threat of domination had faded into the background, then, and only then, could the United States and the Soviet Union conceivably begin the difficult reduction in nuclear weapons that has thus far baffled both sides.TIMOTHY BELFORD Hard-driving cops fight drug trade A foreign legion of American drug agents, waging undercover war on five continents, has pulled off some of the world’s biggest busts.But this little-known corps is beginning to find the limelight uncomfortable.Just when the U.S.Drug Enforcement Administration wants to expand overseas operations and give its agents a freer hand, a backlash is growing to their presence in Mexico and elsewhere.The Foreign Ministry in Mexico, where one DEA officer was murdered last year and another recently was roughed up by police, complains American agents have overstepped diplomatic bounds in their pursuit of narcotics traffickers.They “engage in functions unrelated to those for which they have been authorized.' the Mexicans asserted in a diplomatic note.In Colombia, meanwhile, the attorney general called for a review of the U.S.agency’s presence there.And DEA operations recently stirred political tempests in Bolivia and Brazil as well.ON INVITATION Johnny Phelps, the man in charge of the DEA’s international network, has to be as much a diplomat as a lawman.But he noted pointedly in a Washington interview: “We're in these countries at the invitation of the governments.If they request we leave tomorrow, we leave tomorrow.” The Drug Enforcement Administration has moved into 42 countries since its founding as a U.S.Justice Department agency in 1973.Its 250 overseas agents — 50 more than just three years ago — are concentrated in Latin America and South Asia, working from U.S.embassies.They serve three-year tours Top-scale pay is $62,500 US a year, which includes a 25 per cent differential for foreign service.Their job, the Justice Department says, is to provide “technical advice, program guidance, investigative cooperation, intelligence exchange and training for foreign officials." Out in Mexico's streets, in Bolivia’s jungles, at seaports in France, this translates into basic —and dangerous — police work against deadly trafficking networks.Star Wars has turned into the real problem REYKJAVIK (AP) — The collapse of the Reykjavik summit cut through the fog of Soviet arms control policy and illuminated a single issue.The issue?Star Wars and Soviet fears that it'll bring economic hardship and a hazardous superpower race in unpredictable new technology.The questions of medium-range and strategic, long-range weapons —once seemingly insoluble — appeared almost secondary, and Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev said the failed weekend summit pointed the way for future arms control efforts."Despite the fact that we have reached no agreement here on the questions that we have explored, 1 wouldn’t say that this was an unproductive meeting,” he said Sunday night.Prior to the meeting between U.S.President Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev, the Soviets talked about a varie- AP News Analysis By Andrew Rosenthal ty of issues, including strategic and medium-range weapons, nuclear testing and other aspects of arms control.When the summit finally collapsed, both sides said progress had been made on those issues and that space weapons caused what Gorbachev described as the final rupture.The Soviets insisted that in return for compromises on conventional nuclear weapons, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty on defensive systems must be toughened to rule out testing of space weapons for 10 years under Reagan's strategic defence initiative.the SDI research plan commonly called Star Wars.SUMS UP DISPUTE At a news conference Sunday night, Gorbachev summed up the dispute, describing the last words he had with Reagan as they stood under the glare of TV lights by the president’s limousine.“As we were saying goodbye, the president said he was disappointed and that from the very beginning I, that is to say Gorbachev, had come to Reykjavik with no willingness to reach agreement,” Gorbachev said.“Why, he said, because of just one word (testing), are you so intransigent as regards SDI?” Gorbachev said he explained the Soviet position by saying that “it’s not one word that is the point here.It is the key to understanding what the U.S.administration really intends.” “I see what it intends is what the U.S.military-industrial complex wants,” he said, accusing the United States of seeking military superiority with the Star Wars program.Gorbachev said the Soviets “are not really concerned about SDI.1 think even in America no one believes that such a system can be developed.His explanation of how the summit fell to pieces appeared to contradict that statement.It struck at the heart of what appears to be the central Soviet concern about space weapons — the fear that development of defensive laser weapons in space could open the path to deployment of offensive weapons.“Who is to say that Star Wars would stop at an ABM (anti-ballistic missile) system?" said Soviet adviser Yevgeny Primakov during the summit.The United States says the Kremlin already has a space weapons research program, but the Soviets deny it.OK folks, now’s you chance to spot the error Now’s your opportunity to be an editor.See how many spelling mistakes you can catch in the following story fragment found lying on a garret floor, scrunched into a ball.The correct spellings — those favored by the Oxford dictionary people — are given belowr.That summer the batallion lay alongside a cemetery that was already old when Sir Wilfred Laurier held the reigns of power.During the day the heat had been appaling.with the thermometre in the 30s.But it was evening and cool now when Simmons drove up in his delapi-dated Ford.He felt grateful for his old woolen cardagan.The doctor felt tired.The Ford s sol-lenoid was acting up again and the Take my word By BOB TAYLOR drive from St.Catherine’s, Ont., had been nerve-wracking.Kakhi-clad troops sat on mattresses toasting wieners over fires outside their tents paralleling the ash-phalt road.One man sang a plantive Ukraniane love song in a gutteral voice to the accompaniment of an ac-cordian.When Simmons slow'ed at the gates, a sentery waved him through with a murmered “Alright, doc."

jockeying for Manitoba’s top job By Scott Edmonds WINNIPEG (CP) — It’s enough to drive more hair from Premier Howard Pawley’s head.Although Pawley.Canada’s only New Democratic Party premier, has just begun his second term.the talk of who will replace him at the helm of the Manitoba NDP has intensified.That may be because of the profusion of new talent now surrounding Pastor Pawley, as he is sometimes called by a disrespectful opposition.At this stage perhaps it’s only woolgathering, but it has given Manitoba Tories something to say when New Democrats joke about the supposed jockeying to replace Conservative Leader Gary Filmon.The bright young faces staring at Pawley’s back should make NDP w its think twice before talking about leadership races.Pawley, now 51, faced almost no serious challenge within caucus when he was named interim leader on Ed Schreyer’s departure in 1978 and was handed the mantle on a platter at a subsequent convention.But things are different in 1986.Still, barring some unforseen blow to Pawley’s majority in the legislature —- he has 30 seats to a combined opposition total of 27 — a new leader likely won’t be needed until at least 1990 or 1991, when the next election is expected.This is believed to be Pawley’s last term, although even that isn't certain at this early stage.A favorite of many to fill his shoes is Urban Affairs Minister Gary Doer, not only a new boy in the legislature but relatively new to the party.WAS UNION HEAD Doer, former president of the Manitoba Government Employees Association, put a few noses out of joint when he jumped to the NDP banner just before the March 18 provincial election.At only 37, he was immedia^ tely inducted into cabinet after his easy win in an NDP stronghold in Winnipeg.A former close friend of Janice Johnson, president of Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives, Doer had been wooed by the Tories but chose the NDP.His boyish good looks, and a salesman’s ability to get along with anyone, are combined with an almost fanatical interest in virtually anything political.Natural Resources Minister Len Harapiak, brother of Harry who is Pawley s northern affairs minister, also is frequently mentioned as leadership material.His NDP credentials are a little Ion ger than Doer’s, and.being six years older, he can claim a bit more maturity.HAS THE LOOKS Like Doer, Len Harapiak is a smart dresser, and although he lacks the union leader’s way with words, the former teacher and principal was once gushingly compared by a reporter with one of the young Kennedy's, at least in looks.Already there when Doer and Harapiak brought their silk ties to the legislature was Eugene Kostyra, the burly former union organizer with one of the sharpest minds in the Pawley pack and the least formal education.Kostyra, 39, replaced lawyer Vic Schroeder in the finance portfolio, and if anyone can pry more money out of Ottawa — which seems to be one of the foremost duties inherited by every Manitoba finance minister — it should be Kostyra With his close-cropped hair and beard and glowering expression, he’s a formidable adversary to see across the negotiating table.WAS A SCHOLAR Energy Minister Wilson Parasiuk, the ambitious Rhodes Scholar who once led the unofficial list of leadership candidates, has by his own account dropped out of the running after a brush with cancer and his decision to take things a bit slower.That might make things easier for Jay Cowan, who is treasury board head in the Pawley cabinet and gover- nment house leader.There is no question Cowan, only a few months older than Kostyra.is am bilious enough to want the job.But as an expatriate American who came to Canada at the height of the Vietnam War, he might have trouble mustering the necessary support.It's also possible the party will elect its first woman as leader, choosing from the four women within caucus SMITH FAILED Deputy Premier Muriel Smith has tried before and failed to win the leadership.but she might take another crack at it.Her academic credentials and party background are top-notch, but she hasn t shown any outstanding political smarts and probably knows her chances are slim.Business Development Minister Maureen Hemphill, perhaps the most personable woman in the Pawley cabinet, has never looked like leadership material and her star doesn't appear to be ascending now.The newest woman in cabinet is Culture Minister Judy Wasylycia-Leis.a former Pawley aide nicknamed Judy Alphabet by a Manitoba press gallery wag because of her tongue-twister name.So far she has displayed a humorless approach to politics and little personal charm inside the legislature.The fourth woman.Speaker Myrna Phillips, has been considered to lack the tact necessary to win the leadership.but she has shown some signs of developing a little finesse since she took over as house referee in May.4 V The RKCORIX—Tuesday, October 14, 19H6-5 Farm and Business —____foi Kccara Destructive forces of water often leave indelible traces We have all encountered the destructive force of water at one time or another.From flooding of farm land to gaping gullies at the edge of fields, torrential rains and melting snow often leave behind indelible traces.Erosion by water, however, is not always as spectacular.In fact, most of the soil losses from agricultural fields go almost unnoticed.Sheet and rill erosion, through the combined action of impacting raindrops and surface runoff, insi-duously removes tons of soil from fields.It is now estimated that soil losses between three and 10 tons per hectare per year jeopardize in the long run the productivity of the land.Not only does the soil regenerate itself very slowly, but erosion processes also selectively remove from the field the most chemically active soil particles.Thus, over the years, cumulative soil losses carry an important part of applied fertilizers and pesticides away from the field.The mean an nual replacement cost to the Canadian farmer of fertilizers lost through soil erosion has been evaluated at between $15 and $30 per hectare.Besides losses of agricultural inputs.soil crusting, compaction, and reduction in available water are other non-negligible manifestations of soil erosion.Research currently conducted in the department of Renewable Resources of Macdonald College aims at finding ways to minimize soil losses in agricultural fields.Under the supervision of Dr.Guy Mehuys, a soil erosion research program was initiated in 1983.A first project focused on the seasonal pattern of soil erosion.By collecting runoff and soil loss data from field plots year round, the study helped in characterizing the timing of soil erosion in Southern Quebec.After analyzing three years of data, site characteristics were shown to be particularly important in governing seasonal variations in soil losses.While some sites lost more soil in the summer than in the late winter-early spring period, other sites were more affected in the latter period.For most sites, however, soil thawing was identified as a critical period of high susceptibility to erosion by water.A second project involved the conception and use of an outdoor rainfall simulator on agricultural fields of the Montreal and Eastern Townships areas.This equipment made possible the collection of runoff and soil loss data under a standard simulated rainstorm pattern on a wide range of soil types.Direct and quantitative comparisons of soil susceptibility to erosion could then be made, these site properties that were the best indicators of soil susceptibility to erosion bv rainfall were also identified Following these fundamental studies of erosion phenomena, the research program has now been gi ven a more applied orientation.The aim of the current project is to investigate the reductions in soil loss that can be achieved by adopting different cropping and tillage strategies in corn production.Feasability.in terms of convenience and crop productivity, is al- so a major concern of the study.Grain corn will be grown on three plots that will have been plowed in the spring or fall or not at all.One plot will receive winter wheat and another will remove fallow.Two soils, already identified in a pre-vious study as having a different seasonal susceptibility to erosion, are under investigation.The current research program w ill shed some light on the ways to minimize erosion on the farm at a reasonable cost, while maintaining crop productivity.Thus, we would leave to those who follow us land that will be as productive for them as it has been for us.Sweet corn can’t be flown in from halfway around the world If the price is no object, almost any kind of food can be flown in from halfway around the world, in any season.Except for sweet corn.This is one delicacy money cannot buy at a snap of the fingers.Sweet corn on the cob must be cooked the day it is picked, served with lots of butter, and eaten before its sugar turns to starch.But how can anybody tell if corn is still good after a few- days?“Chances are it will be sweet if it hasn’t started to dimple," said Joe Carcione.TV's Green Grocer,” in a phone interview.“If you see little dimples in the kernels it means the corn is starting to lose its sugar," Mr.Carcione says.“If you can get your corn the day it’s picked at a farmer’s stand, that's ideal.But when buying it at the supermarket, be sure you’re getting it from a refirgerated counter." Although corn comes in several colors, the sweet corn for eating off the cob comes with either yellow or white kernels or a combination of both, called bi-color corn."There’s no question, white corn is the favorite with Floridians,” says Ann McDuffie, food editor of the Tampa Tribune, "although both the white Silver Queen’ and yellow corn are available in the supermarkets.I've never seen any bi-color corn in any of our stores here in Florida," she said.New» Englanders like the two-color corn best of all.With their mixture of yellow and white kernels.the two-color varieties have names like “Butter and Sugar." "Sprite," “Harmony,” and “Carnival." Later in the season New Englanders will buy “Sweet Sal" and “Sweet Sue”, also bi-colors, and some growers have a two-color corn called "Burgundy Delight” that is a smaller ear.but very sweet, and gets its name from a dark reddish tinged husk.Of course, there are lots of corn-lovers who don't bother about color or names.They just want corn as fresh as possible.The bottom line, in this case, is how long it takes to get from corn field to table.Always buy fresh corn that 's just been picked at a local farm, or corn that's been kept in a cool place.Corn from other areas will be fine for dishes using cut or scraped corn.For the best flavor, use fresh corn the day you buy it.Keep it in the refrigerator until ready to cook it.The tip-off for freshly picked corn is the stem.If it's a damp, pale green, the corn has been picked within the day.After 24 hours, the stalk turns opaque and chalky.Longer than that, it gets brown.And when buying corn, ask for the extra sweet variety.It holds the sweetness longer.However they buy it.Americans enjoy corn in many ways.There is popcorn, of course, and corn dogs, which are hot dogs on a stick dipped in eornmeal batter and deep-fried.Frozen corn, canned kernels, and creamed style corn are avai- lable in every store and are used for creamy corn puddings, chowders, fritters, hush puppies, and even corn cob jelly.One excellent cookbook, "A Book of Vegetables” by Marina Stern (currently out of print but due in reprint this falli, lists 15 or more recipes for corn dishes (more than for potatoes), from corn salads, soups, and breads to corn pudding with raisins.Corn on the cob is the most popular of all, and whether or not you provide little handles for help in chewing the kernels off the cob, be sure to serve plenty of butter and extra napkins.Thinking of asking for a bank loan?Here’s some helpful tips By Brenda Dalglish The Canadian Press Asking your banker for a loan can be an unsettling experience — a little like discovering a police car in your rear-view mirror.Your palms turn clammy, you get flustered and you feel like a sorry cross between a sinner and a criminal.After all.it doesn't seem quite right to be borrowing money to buy-something today that you really can t afford until tomorrow.But if you’ve decided the advantages of immediacy outweigh the disadvantages of interest costs, you should know there are right and wrong ways to go about negotiating a loan.Here's a little insight into what the loans officer on the other side of the desk is thinking about when you make your application.RATE THE RISK “Lending is good judgment,” says Jim Brodie.product manager in personal lending services at the Royal Bank.‘ The first criteria you look at in any borrower is his credibility.” The bank primarily wants to be assured the loan will be repaid, he says.The less risk the borrower represents.the more eager the bank will be for his business.One basic rule of thumb is that gross debt service — payments on all debts outstanding — should never exceed 40 per cent of an individual’s income, Brodie said.But that guide varies depending on income and the level of assets.The ability of someone who earns $15,000 a year to use 40 per cent of his income to pay debt is much more restricted than someone whose income is $45,000, he said.MONEY ° MONITOR.iiSIKS There are many secondary factors that bankers consider when they decide on loan qualifications and rates.WHAT’S LOAN FOR “We like to know what the purpose of the loan is,” Brodie said.“Some people think it’s a nosy question, but the fact is that some reasons hold more water than others, “We wouldn't like it, for example, if a client was borrowing money to pay off a gambling debt." he said, adding that a bank would have no legal recourse to collect on a loan made for such a purpose.In a consolidation loan — one made by a consumer wanting to combine other borrowings, often on high interest credit cards — the bank w-ill have more questions, Brodie said.That’s because the borrower may not have acted responsibly with his credit and needs the loan just to meet his monthly payments.But bankers do not see their role as “one to decide whether or not you should drive a Cadillac or a Chevrolet,” he added.GET PERSONAL Dave Walker, senior manager in the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s consumer loan department, said the bank will also want to know a little about you.In addition to your current debt Never worry about your water again.Let Oes give you a new well and water system in just 2 days • Free estimate • Free consultation • Certified, competent operators • Complete water system with 5 year guarantee the water man Walter Oes — 514-243-6454 and credit rating, it will be interested in such things as your employment record, assets, even the number of times you have changed residences.Walker and Brodie both advised that prospective loan applicants bring along complete financial background.It should outline their income and expenses and indicate that the applicant, at the very least, has a good grasp of his financial position.Theoretically, they say, most lending institutions will assess in the same manner any given client who provides the same information.lending him the same amount of money at the same rate.But both bankers suggest it’s possible to improve your acceptability and reduce your interest rates, just by your presentation.“For example, if you come off as an arrogant, pompous s.o.b.then it's going to be much harder (for the bank) to be objective,” Brodie said.SHOP AROUND There are times when shopping around for a loan can pay off.Walker acknowledged “Technically it shouldn’t hap pen.” he said."We should all be on the same basis on analysing credit.But there are different people ta- king the applications and there are different circumstances in the market.” Brodie doubted there would ever be much difference between rates — usually not more than one-quarter or one-half of a percentage point.“That isn't very much over the course of a loan,” he said.For example a $10,000 loan to be repaid in five years will cost $220.99 a month at 12 per cent, $223.39 a month at 12.5 percent and $225.81 at 13 per cent.The total cost difference over the life of the loan between the 12-per-cent rate and the 13-per-cent rate is $289.20.However, Lyman Maclnnis, a Toronto chartered accountant and author of Get Smart! Make Your Money Count, advises consumers to shop around."Anyone who shops for a loan quickly discovers that while lenders are similar, rates do differ, as do lending limits and criteria for granting loans."It’s a recognized fact of banking for example, just how much managers' discretion varies, as does their willingness to take risks.Go where the bank is hungry.You often have a better chance of getting what you want by going to a new branch in the suburbs than to a bank's main branch.” Brewers are turning to civic pride in latest scheme TORONTO(CP) — In a marketplace constantly looking for something new and unique, regional brewers have discovered a new product.They are turning civic pride into the latest marketing tool.In Hamilton, it is Steeler beer, a brew developed by Amstel Brewery Canada Ltd.to appeal to the mainstream Canadian tastes of Hamiltonians.“We wanted to make a product that the local people could call their own.” said president Maarten Rijkens.In Surrey, B.C.it is Pride of Surrey, the initiative of a salesman for the Pacific Brewing Co.who wanted to cater to Surrey, which is often scorned by the sophisticates of nearby Vancouver.The brewers say they want to build a sense of pride in each region, as well as an allegiance to their brands, which are available only in the immediate area.But while Amstel rightly comes by its affiliation to the Steel City (its brewery and head office are in Hamilton, which has a population of more than 560,000), Pacific Brewing has simply adopted Surrey and its population of 175,000.NOT LOCAL BREW The company is based in Vancouver.and its brewery is in Prince George.So why worry about civic pride in the Lower Mainland municipality?“Surrey is the type of community that we feel very strongly needs a little bit of awareness, a higher profile,” said Pacific Brewing vice-president John Gray.Surrey Mayor Don Ross acknowledges his city has been maligned in the past, and welcomes the opportunity for citizens to have something to call their own — even if it is a beer.“The idea of the Pride of Surrey being used as a beer label was kind of fitting for Surrey because we do view beer as the poor man’s cham VOLUNTEER

said.And while the breweries speak of civic pride, they are also talking about increasing sales.Rijkens will not disclose market share, but admitted Amstel has not sold much of its European and premium-priced beer in Hamilton in the past.PRICE SIMILAR Both Steeler and Pride of Surrey are competitively priced.“IPs doing very well,” he said of Steeler’s sales performance, noting that market share gains have come at the expense of Canada's bigthree brewers.WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS IN THE DARK, YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU GOT A HONDA.The Honda generators.They're very handy to have around during a

wrapped delicately in draped cotton.wool jersey or luxurious silks.The petticoat returns along with the flounce, and pants arc loose.The big names in Italian design — Armani.Versace, Krizia and Ferre —- stuck with the subdued color scheme they have used for the last few seasons.For the spring-summer collection, they added basic navy, butter white, powder pink and ice blue to their staples of grey, white, black and brown.The long, loose jacket does not disappear, but is joined by a series of shorter versions.Spring 1987 also heralds the return of the aviator jacket, gathered and belted at the waist.First on the five-day fashion calender was Mariuccia Mandelli, the designer behind the Krizia label.who presented her collection Sunday in a modern theatre of the downtown Milan palazzo which

wide leather bermuda shorts, super ample pajama pants, short flouncy silk skirts, long linen cassock dresses, bare-backed jackets, are just some of the choices offered by what one buyer from Los Angeles called “the most imaginative designer around." Krizia seemed torn between austerity and frivolity.She decorated elegant silk gowns with paintbrush strokes and naive school designs and stitched together a myriad of sequins to produce an evening gown that looked like the door of a kids' room plastered with stickers and slogans in bright red.yellow and blue.Cheerful lemon yellow and romantic powder rose are her favorite new shades.But she also marched her Sisters of Krizia down the runway in strict navy blue midi-length, long-sleeved dresses with wide starched white collars.Rising star Romeo Gigli, who also showed Sunday, presented very young models wearing grey, black, brown and purple wool jersey dresses with asymmetrical neck and hemlines.Tuesday, Oct.14, 1986 course Tannis was teaching.Carpenter was seeking legal help to get his bank to accept his thumbprint on cheques instead of a signature, because his disability makes it impossible for him to sign his name.Tannis represented him and got the bank to agree, Carpenter then encouraged Tannis to do something for the Year for the Disabled.Together they came up with Reach.Lawyers working for Reach be nofit in knowledge, if not fees Richard Gasparini.a specialist in fa mily

able to manage their affairs.Reach lawyers handle an average 150 cases a year, many of vital importance to a disabled person’s life.For example, an Ottawa paraplegic bought a $7,000 motorized wheelchair last year and almost immediately ran into problems with the motor.He took it to the dealer twice, but the dealer refused to fix it under the warranty, claiming the owner was at fault But, armed with a second opinion from another dealer, and legal help from a Reach lawyer, the paraplegic was able to have his warranty respected.Other cases are simpler.An elderly blind woman sought a

the heart suit to come home without a loser, but he would also need to find the club king with East.And that doesn't even take into account those times when, with the cards distributed differently, West can lead a singleton diamond and get a ruff right away.It’s difficult enough to be in five hearts, certainly not guaranteed to make, when there is no bonus for bidding that high.But declarer must still do the best he can.As the cards lie today, he will be set for sure if he blithely plays the king of hearts first.You and I know the safety play of cashing the ace and then leading low toward the king, intending to insert the nine if East plays low.That guarantees losing no more than one heart, but how can declarer know he can afford that luxury?Of course the answer is that South must first discover what is happening in clubs.Let him win the spade king at trick one and play a club to his queen.If that holds, he can take the safety play in trumps.If the club queen loses to the king, then declarer must play all out to avoid the loss of even a single trump trick.Webster Cass SHfKUOOXf UNNOXVIUC 100 Oi»«n Btvd N * ¦*!vid«r| $• 8195622685 R.L Bishop ft Son Funeral Chapel tMHHOOKI 100 On»»

KECOIU)—Tuesday, October H, IH8H Parents should screen potential babysitters carefully — doctor NASHVILLE, Tenu.(A!*) _ Babysitting is a job monopolized by teenagers in search of a little spending money, but a psychologist warns that many adolescents are emotionally unprepared for the task.While day-care centres, family members and friends have received the most attention as potential child abusers, he says, little has been said about the most common — and least trained — of all childminders.Adolescence can be one of life's most vulnerable, confusing periods — a time of emotional uncertainty and sexual experimentation while making the transition from childhood to adulthood, says Dr.Ronald Kourany, a child and adolescent psychologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre.Kourany, who has researched teenage babysitting for the past decade, says the unprepared adolescent with emotional limitations can easily be provoked into panic or rage while caring for children, particularly for those who have behavioral problems.“I don’t want to be an alarmist,’’ said Kourany, who points out that babysitting teaches teenagers responsibility and child-care skills.“But there is the potential for explosiveness — behaviorally.psychologically and sexually.Just name it, and you’ll find it." 90 PER CENT SIT More than one million U.S.teenagers babysit, said Kourany.His surveys show that 90 per cent or more of all high school students have babysat on one or more occasions.While most parents have strong opinions about criteria for selec- We’re a bunch of drunks, says leader WINNIPEG (CP) - With few exceptions, natives who spend time in jail are there for crimes committed while they were drunk, an Indian spiritual leader told a conference on native alcoholism and drug abuse Wednesday.“We are a bunch of drunks, it’s terrible to say but it’s true." said Harold Belmont.But throwing people in jail isn't going to solve the problem, added Belmont at what was billed as the first national Canadian native school on alcoholism, drug abuse and related problems."They need to be treated as sick people, not criminals," he said.He suggested judges stop jailing alcoholics and communities accept some responsibility for alcoholism.A return to traditional native spiritual values was also offered to help those who are fighting alcoholism."There are some sensitive judges and I want to express my gratitude to them, " Belmont told a seminar at the conference, although he said their concern may-have been stimulated because of the need to ease the strain on overcrowded jails.The conference sponsored by the National Native Advisory Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse drew about 150 people, most of them natives from Canada and the United States who are involved in treatment and counselling work.COMMITS CRIME Belmont said 97 per cent of North American natives in jails were drunk when they ran afoul of the law and after spending some time behind bars most of them are likely to commit another crime.Like others at the conference, Belmont, 47, confessed to his own battle with the bottle.“I’m an alcoholic," he said.“My father was an alcoholic and three of my children are alcoholics.” A woman from the Bloodvein In dian reserve in Manitoba told the assembly of her brush with the law because of alcoholism.The 29-year-old woman said she was sentenced to one year in jail for assaulting two people in her community while she was drunk.“I drank 26 ounces of whisky and asked them for some more,” she said.“When they didn’t give it to me, I hit them with a stick." She said she didn’t really remember the incident or know how violent she had been until her court case.“Alcohol wired me out and all of a sudden I wasn’t myself," she said.Belmont said the identity crisis felt by many natives, broughton by what he described as “internalized oppression,” is the reason for the alcohol problems they must face.To avoid the bottle, he suggested returning to traditional native religious activities, including dancing to the drum and other rituals.“When you’re heavy in heart and troubled in mind, that drum is going to make you feel good,” he said “We can find comfort in our own values and expression of culture.“The good news is that a lot of the younger generation are returning to that.” ting a sitter responsibility, reliability, maturity, experience and understanding of children relati vely few screen babysitters ade quatcly in those areas before en trusting them with their child, Kourany said.In fact, he said, some pa rents arc more careful about to whom they hand their car keys than who cares for their children, His research with Dr, James Martin into teenage babysitting began after two adolescent patients with personality problems admitted they had both sexually abused children during caretaking duties, "We went to literature to see what we could find about teenagers who have a history of child abuse while babysitting, but there was very little written on it," Kourany said.OFFERS TIPS Based on his own research.Kourany offers parents several sug gestions for making the best possible match between children and sitters: — A
