Half of Canada's acid rain is blamed on U.S.emissions.The Canadian government has been seeking an accord with Washington to slash emissions in both countries.EMISSIONS CONTINUE Some billboards located at border crossings and in major cities will read.America Join Us Against Acid Rain.McMillan said magazines featuring the advertisements will be placed on planes heading to and from the U.S.Employees at Canada’s 33 national parks will distribute acid rain information to American visitors.Asked if the timing of the campaign had anything to do with Ame- ricans preparing to head to the polls this November, McMillan said they "will have acid rain on their minds when they go to the ballot box." Acid rain, caused by sulphur emissions and other airborne pollutants, is blamed by many scientists for damaging lakes, streams and forests in the United States and Canada.Quebec gets $515M in economic aid By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP) — Ottawa is poised to pour $515 million into Quebec over the next five years in a massive economic aid program, say documents distributed by a Liberal MP Wednesday.Federal officials have acknowledged such an aid plan has been in the works for several months and federal Industry Minister Robert de Co-tret, accompanied by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Premier Robert Bourassa, is scheduled to make a major announcement in Quebec City today.But a communique prepared for today’s announcement reveals that both the federal and Quebec governments are jointly contributing a total of $970 million for economic development in all regions of Quebec.The communique was raised in the Commons by Liberal MP Jean-Claude Malepart, who says the program is a blatant attempt at vote buying before the June 20 byelection in Lac-Saint-Jean, where the governing Conservatives hope to elect Secretary of State Lucien Bouchard.Sylvie Cloutier, press secretary to de Cotret, said the document Malepart distributed was a draft copy.A slightly different version will be distributed at today’s announcement.Of the $970 million, $150 million is to top up existing regional development agreements between the two governments dating back to 1984, the communique says.MARCH 1990 With each government contributing half, the $150 million will be put into the programs by March 31, 1990.The communique says much of this money will refloat several regional development program budgets that have been exhausted.The remaining $820 million re- presents new money for economic development.Ottawa will be contributing $440 million over the five years and Quebec $380 million.Today’s agreement between the two governments says the $820 million will be broken down to be spent in two regions.Of the total in new money, $486 million will be spent in a resources region and $330 million will be spent in a central region, which includes Montreal.In the resource region, the money will be distributed this way : —$210 million in Eastern Quebec (lower St.Lawrence, Gaspe, Iles-de-la-Madeleine.— $65 million in North Shore.— $120 million in Centre-North (Saguenay, Lac Saint Jean).— $75 million in West Quebec (Abitibi, Timiskaming).— $16 milion in Northern Quebec.Speaking to reporters.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney denied there was any connection between the massive aid package and the June 20 by election.Only an immature person would think that, Mulroney insisted.“Would the Liberals and New Democrats want us to penalize Quebec by delaying an important project just because there is a byelection,” Mulroney asked.Ontario the troublemaker QUEBEC (CP) — Ontario-bashing is becoming an increasingly popular sport these days in Quebec which has never been all that cosy with its big neighbor anyway.The two biggest provincial wheels have often engaged in poli-tical and economic one-upmanship.But after Ontario Premier David Peterson and Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa won office, there were predictions of a central Canadian axis of Liberal premiers, similar to the close ties which existed between Conservative premier John Robarts of Ontario and Union Nationale premier Daniel Johnson of Quebec in the 1960s.There is no more talk of that.In the grey, fortress-style structure known as the Bunker where Bourassa has his office, Ontario is getting a growing reputation as a loose cannon.After years of being the bad boy among the provinces, Quebec is on-side with the federal government and relishing the role while painting Ontario as the troublemaker.Last weekend, Bourassa was on the warpath over Ontario’s economic boom, saying the rest of the country is paying the price for the province’s overheated economy with higher interest rates.CUT DEFICIT While Bourassa did not directly accuse Ontario of charting an inflationary course, he noted pointedly Quebec “did its bit" to dampen inflationary pressures by tabling a budget that kept the lid on spending and reduced the province’s deficit.Quebec sees the latest boost in interest rates as threatening to choke off its own economic recovery while its unemployment levels are still far higher than next door in Ontario.And when critics last month charged that Ottawa's free-trade legislation stepped on provincial toes, Bourassa used Ontario’s refusal to end markups on imported wines as justification for the hill which declared the federal gover-nment can force provincial compliance with the treaty.Next to ratification of the Meech News Analysis By Penny MacRae Lake constitutional deal, free trade is the issue closest to Bouras-sa’s heart.To see it passed, he appears to be ready to turn a blind eye to legislation the province would otherwise likely have loudly opposed.Although Ontario seems to have backed off on a threat to try to capsize the free trade agreement through a court challenge, distrust of the province has not abated in Quebec.While Peterson supports the deal, the strong opposition among Ontario Liberal party members to the accord is making Quebec edgy.The Quebec government was thrown into a tizzy last month when the Toronto Globe and Mail quoted Peterson as saying he was willing to consider amendments to the accord.Quebec has long maintained that to seek any changes to the deal would effectively kill it.Peterson telephoned Bourassa to reassure him that Ontario still supports ratifying the deal without changes but the alarm light did not go off.The Montreal Gazette quoted one source close to Bourassa as saying after Peterson’s telephone call that, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” The Quebec government has not forgotten that it was objections from Peterson and then-Manitoba premier Howard Pawley that prolonged negotiations on the Meeeh Lake accord last June.Peterson has warned that anyone who seeks to scuttle the accord will have to face the judgment of history.Despite the brave words, it hasn’t gone unnoticed in Quebec City that Ontario has yet to ratify the agreement.At Queen's Park, observers now do not expect the accord to be passed until the fall, even though the signatories agreed informally to try to have it ratified by Canada Day this year.BU says ’bye to ancient trees Going, going.gone.sity grounds crews continued to clear the way for a new studio theatre to be More than this one old poplar bit the dust Wednesday as Bishop's

dramatically over the next few years as Canada Post accelerates conversion of rural post offices to private outlets in stores, service stations and other local businesses.A confidential document obtained by The Canadian Press sets out annual targets for switching the entire network of 5,221 rural offices to private operations by 1996.Entitled 10-Year Implementation Schedule — 1987-88 Corporate Plan, the document targets 269 offices for conversion in 1987-88, 300 in 1988-89, 750 in 1989-90, 750 in 1990-91, 750 in 1991-92, 650 in 1992-93, 649 in 1993-94, 649 in 1994-95 and 454 in 1995-96.The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association, which represents rural Canada Post employees, says all of its 10,000 members — 83 per cent women — will lose their jobs if the program is implemented.The basic pay rate for rural postmasters is $12.44 an hour compared to minimum wage rates of $4.50 to $5 usually paid to staff hired by VALLEYFIELD, Que.(CP) — A convicted murderer identified David White in court Wednesday as the self-styled commanding officer of a combat training school who ordered the execution of a teenager last summer.Jean-Claude Legault said White appointed himself head of the Mecca Survival Centre when the school opened in August 1986.Legault said White named him noncommissioned officer in charge of training."That’s why I did the killing,” Legault told Superior Court Justice Henry Steinberg.“1 was taking orders.” Legault, 24, said he had a contract to kill 19-year-old Remi Lahaie of Ile Perrot at the request of Michel Laurin and two members of his family, Initially, the Laurins wanted to break Lahaie’s arms, legs and jaw, but eventually they agreed to a contract to kill him for $1,800 private rural outlets.The document comes from a business plan developed by Canada Post to restructure rural and urban postal services by concentrating on privately run offices rather than agency-staffed outlets.An updated version of the plan was approved by the Conservative cabinet this spring and a summary was made public by Canada Post president Donald Lander in May.The summary listed no annual targets for rural conversion but reaffirmed plans to convert rural and urban counter services to private operation “over some 10 years.” Although widespread opposition to rural postal changes has already put the program behind schedule, the post office confirmed as recently as this week its 10-year conversion goal remains in effect.WILL CONTINUE Gil Hebert, head of rural services for Canada Post, said 151 conversions have occurred since the plan was first announced in late 1986 and there will be another 150 over the next year.He declined to White set the price, he said.Legault, now serving a life term after pleading guilty May 6 to second-degree murder, said he received $405 and did not know what White did with the rest of the money.Laurin, 46, is serving 11 years and four months.His wife, Nicole, QUEBEC (CP) — An Indian band council has accused the provincial government of easing off in its opposition to pesticides and sacrificing Quebec forests for the sake of profitability.The Attikamek-Montagnais Council said Wednesday the government has dropped a policy that required public evaluation of the environmental impact of de foliant sprays and insecticides discuss conversions beyond that point.John Caines, a post office media relations officer, said Wednesday the conversion targets in the document are planning figures only.The figures were prepared more than a year ago and are subject to change as the business plan is implemented.The next 12 months are expected to be especially sensitive for Cana da Post.Not only is a federal election in the offing but the agency is also negotiating a new contract with rural employees.Lloyd Johnson, national postmasters’ president, says the conversion rate will rise dramatically if the Conservatives win the election and Canada Post gets contract concessions it is seeking.The Liberals and New Democrats have promised to scrap the business plan if they win the election.Although Canada Post has said rural conversions will be confined to communities where postmasters retire or leases expire, Johnson says there is no way the agency can stick to the policy and meet its months, and their son, Daniel, eight years and four months.All pleaded guilty to manslaughter.At his trial, Laurin said he had complained to police to no avail about the noise made by Lahaie squealing his car tires in front of Bernard Cleary, chief negoiia tor for the council,

through resignations, retirements and so on.Some other arrangement would have to be made.” The arrangement Canada Post wants is the right to lay off rural staff at will.Johnson says negotiators for the agency are demanding that rural employees give up job-security language contained in their current contract.Canada Post expects big savings once the switchover to low-wage private operations is complete."The combined urban and rural retail program will generate $1 billion in operational savings over 10 years relative to a status-quo situation,” the latest business plan summary says.Although Canada Post shuns all suggestion of rural closures, noting that alternate service will be provided, Johnson says many existing offices will be abandoned as postal counters are set up in local businesses.Canada Post says the switchover, once complete, will mean2|000 additional outlets in rural Canada.commando their house.The police wouldn’t respond, he said, and he was forced to take pills

Rita Legault ASCOT TOWNSHIP — Fears that the Quebec transport ministry would demolish or move more homes along Route 108 to straighten the road are unfounded.But a church which has stood in the same spot for nearly a century may soon be found at a new address.In the last two weeks an evaluator has visited three homes along Route 108 in Ascot Township, informing the owners that Transport Quebec would soon have to expropriate some of their property and move their homes a second time to straighten the road.Two years ago Evelyn and Ernie Hevey, Phylis Danforth and Lionel Compagna had parts of their land expropriated to allow re-contruction of Capelton Road.This meant their homes had to be moved or demolished.TWO NEW, ONE MOVED The Heveys and Mrs.Danforth chose to have their houses demolished and new ones were built further back on their land.Compagna had his house moved back from the road.Sherbrooke evaluator Émile Théroux recently called on the three to tell them they might have to go through the same process again.But a Transport Quebec official says Théroux’s information is all wrong.The official, who asked not to be named, told the Record a new plan to staighten the curve would not require moving any homes.However Christ Church (Anglican) will have to be moved to eliminate the dangerous curve.Under the revised plan Transport Quebec will also have to expropriate a little more of the three adjacent properties — but no houses would have to go.“The work will be done but not with the same impact that Théroux told those people,” said the Transport ministry source.HUSTLING BUSINESS “Théroux heard about the preliminary plans and went to see them to get the contract to represent them against the ministry,” he said.In a telephone interview Théroux refused to reveal the source of his information.“I worked for 20 years at the Transport Ministry,” he said.“I have reliable sources.” The Transport Ministry official says the new plan is still “preliminary.” “Transport department engineers have only asked for a preliminary estimate,” he said.“There is nothing official yet.” He said he expects the ministry could soon approve the plan and if so, work would begin in the fall.But he also said approval “could take years,” “It’s a question of safety,” he said.“We are not just doing this for the fun.” ACCIDENTS There have been several bad accidents on the Capelton Road stretch of Route 108.The worst part, near Stafford Road, has been changed.But there are still a lot of accidents in the curve directly in front of the church and Danforth properties.“There are always lots of accidents on this curve,” Danforth said.“It was nothing to see three a night when the Hillcrest (a local bar, now Montjoie ski centre) was open.” Danforth added that she doesn’t mind losing a little property if it means the road will be safer.The Transport department would take a couple of metres of the front of her property right beside the church.“I like to walk,” she said.“But I can’t walk along the road because it is too dangerous.” The change of plan for re-routing the road comes after land was expropriated and houses relocated two years ago.RAILWAY RE-OPENED The road was supposed to be moved to the southeast side of Route 108, where unused Canadian Pacific Railway tracks follow the side of the road.But because the tracks are now in back in temporary operation and could be used again the future, the Transport Ministry has to stay on the other (northwest) side of the road to correct the curve.The expropriation service of the Transport Ministry has had preliminary talks with owners of the three lots and church but the new , plan — apparently the third in two years — will not be definite until the local transport office receives approval from Quebec.The Sherbrooke office hopes to complete the work this summer, at the same time it builds a new bridge over the Eustis stream just down the road.NOT DECIDED Christ Church rector Rev.Keith Perry-Gore said in an interview that Transport officials have had a preliminary talk with him about the proposed move but that nothing definite has been decided.“No decision has been made yet,” he said.“We will have to look into it.All we know now is they need the site.” Perry-Gore said a meeting of the church vestry would be called before any decision.“Parishioners will have the final say in the decision,” he said.The parish’s church hall just down the road was moved back two years ago.It is expected that the church will be moved over beside it.“There is no question of destroying it,” said the Transport Ministry source.“It was contructed in 1890, it’s much too nice to tear down.” Bcconl CP re-opens railway line A i ;v‘ V ,,fe?-v' Capelton Road's Christ Church will have to move

extension By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Opposition is growing to Brome Lake’s special tax to finance the extension of town water and sewage to homes along Lakeside Road, the Auberge du Lac Brome condominiums and Fisher’s Point.Knowlton resident Linda Racicot has spent the past week going door to door getting people to sign a petition against the extension.She said that in about 12 hours she got 200 names.Racicot has left few homes without getting a signature.“There were a half dozen people who didn’t sign, mostly because they were moving away and didn’t want to bother,” Racicot said.“But nobody didn’t sign because they agreed with the project.” “One person said she was against the project although she was in fa- vor of protecting the lake,” Racicot said.“However, she did say that she would be signing the register on June 15 to oppose the project.” REGISTER OVER-RIDE Although town council approved the tax hike, residents will have an opportunity to stop it if enough of them sign a town register at town hall on June 15 from 9 a.m.till 7 p.m.It would take 462 signatures to override council.“Until now, I haven’t met a single person who is in favor of the project,” Racicot said.“Most of the people say they will be there next Wednesday to sign the register.” Racicot, who has been fighting singlehanded, said she is protesting because she really believes residents shouldn’t have to pay for the extension of waterworks.“This will prove to the town that people don’t want this project,” she said.WANTS 500 Racicot said she hopes for 500 signatures on the petition before Monday night’s council meeting when she plans to present it.“If I can get 1000, that’s even better,” she said.So far Racicot has covered the village of Knowlton and most of Foster.But the work is time-consuming and she hopes to get help to continue in the other villages.Racicot said the general reaction when she arrives on people’s doorsteps is surprise.Out of 200 people she visited, she said, only about 25 knew about the new tax.“Most of them are happy that I have come by to inform them,” she said.“They are frustrated and angry.They don’t want to pay for this this project to go through.” Keegstra hopes to teach N6WS-in-bri6f again after his acquittal EDMONTON (CP)-Jim Keegstra says he misses teaching and may try to get back into the profession now that his conviction for hate-mongering has been overturned by the Alberta Court of Appeal.But Education Minister Nancy Betkowski said she sees no reason to reinstate Keegstra’s teaching certificate.In an interview Tuesday at his home in the central Alberta town of Eckville, Keegstra said he has solid grounds to have his licence restored, but won’t make a decision until speaking with his lawyer.“I miss teaching sometimes, but I also enjoy the freedom of being a mechanic,” the town’s former mayor said.In the Alberta legislature.New Democrats urged Premier Don Getty to revive a public education campaign on intolerance.Getty said spending more government money is not the way to fight racial intolerance.“Frankly funds and laws are not the things that are going to do the job here,” he said.Albertans can tackle intolerance if they “take it on and argue against it and expose it.” On Monday the appeal court quashed Keegstra’s 1985 conviction of spreading hatred against Jews.Three judges ruled the Criminal Code section under which he was charged is unconstitutional because it is too broad and violates rights of free speech.Alberta Attorney General Jim Horsman said Alberta may appeal, or leave it to Ottawa to refer the federal law to the Supreme Court of Canada or to draft new legislation.Horsman said he expects the appeal court ruling to go to the Su-preme Court “one way or another.” In Ottawa, Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn said federal and provincial officials had started reviewing the country’s hate literature law before it was struck down by the Alberta court.He said a joint working group of civil servants, established at a federal-provincial conference of justice ministers in Quebec City last month, is expected to report in the fall.Hnatyshyn said a decision on whether to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada is up to Horsman.House prices up 8.7 per cent Quebec pilots land at Angouleme Bakkers return to Fort Mills —___aa mscara George MecLaren, Publisher.569-9511

per cent higher in April than in the same month last year, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.Between March and April of this year, prices went up by 1.8 per cent.Toronto had the country’s highest March-April increase at four per cent, followed by the New Brunswick cities of Saint John and Moncton at 3.2 per cent and London, Ont., at 2.7 per cent.Hamilton registered the greatest year-to-year

from an article in the U.S.magazine Consumer Report and asked Consumer Affairs Minister Harvie Andre to order the vehicles off Canadian roads.Orlikow said the jeep-type vehicle can overturn on dry

probably investigate.” Canadians favor peace OTTAWA (CP) —A significant minority of Canadians would be more favorable to federal election candidates who stress peace issues, a new poll by Angus Reid Associates says.The poll, paid for by the Canadian Peace Alliance, suggests that 38 per cent of 1,501 Canadians surveyed would feel a lot more positive toward a candidate who emphasized peace as an issue.The survey also indicated that many Canadians feel that nuclear-armed vessels of foreign navies should not be allowed in Canadian ports.Some 67 per cent of those polled believe that ships

“proper channels.” No plans were made to try the march another day.“I wouldn’t join a demonstration.Now isn't the time,” said one student.Another declared: “Quite frankly, we are afraid.” Students began arriving at Tiananmen Square in midafternoon, apparently traveUing individually from Beijing University and other schools, but found the police were there in force.UIC Act defective — judge OTTAWA (CP) - Parliament must change the law so natural parents are entitled to the same child-care benefits as adoptive parents under the Unemployment Insurance Act, the Federal Court of Canada has ruled.However, the court said the 15 weeks of maternity benefits collected by natural mothers during and after child birth are distinct from childcare benefits and must be protected.Mr.Justice Barry Strayer says the Unemployment Insurance Act is “defective” because of discriminatory measures which provide child-care benefits for adoptive parents but not for natural parents.Weather Today will be

THAT'S THE FIFTH CALL IN TUJO DAYS.AND I'M NOT EVEN OFFICIALLY SEPARATED YET! tkJHAT IS l CALLED THE POUCE.THEY SAY THEY'RE POWERLESS TO HELP./ » The Townships The REC'OKI»—Thursday.June 9.198H-3 the' #1___g*i KBcara QFA s Grapes: ‘I think that’s a bunch of hogwash* Language minority groups not excited over promise of new federal money Warren Grapes.7 don't think it changes anything.’ By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — Quebec English-language groups hesitated Wednesday to applaud Ottawa’s latest effort to promote Canada’s two official languages.While some groups gave the new federal initiative at least a passing grade for effort.Quebec Farmers’ Association president Warren Grapes said new proposals by Secretary of State Lucien Bouchard are nothing but “a bunch of hogwash." In a Quebec City press conference Tuesday, Bouchard announced that the federal government will spend $1.4 billion over the next five years to help develop Canada’s official languages.Increases include a $145 million boost to provinces to increase teaching of minority languages.Over the five year period Ottawa will also increase financial assistance to “Official Language Minority Communities” by $50 million — funding which goes to groups like Alliance Quebec, the Towns-hippers Association, and the Quebec Farmers Association.SCEPTICAL Alliance Quebec president Royal Orr is sceptical about the new money.He said in the past only $2.2 million a year has been granted to Quebec groups.Orr sees the announcement as tw ofold.He said the new» money is good for the promotion of minority-languages across Canada, but based on the early reports "it is far from clear who will benefit from the increases.” “Reports are not favorable to Quebec,” Orr said, "because there are no signs that there will be an increase for Quebec.Quebec funding should be doubled from $2 million to $4 million.” Orr contends that this is the only way the province’s minority language groups can function effectively.PLEASED BUT.Heather Keith-Ryan of the Townshippers Association was pleased by the announcment.saying that this is the first indication we have had that they (government) would increase our funding." The Townshippers had its fede ral funding frozen at $200.000 for the past three years and Keith-Ryan hopes the increase will help meet the association's increased operating costs.The only drawback Keith-Ryan sees in the new money is the $145 million which is being given to the provinces to promote bilingualism.“Transfer payments are hard to trace, and we have asked that accountability for the awarded funds be established." Warren Grapes, president of the QFA is not impressed at all by Bouchard's announcement."I don’t think it changes anything," Grapes said.FOR THE CHARTER The OF A stands firm on its de- mand that the language issue should emulate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which professes Canadian duality from coast to coast."1 think that's a bunch of hogwash." Grapes said of Bouchard's annoucement."It doesn't reflect the Charter of Rights." "The way they let politicians talk.” Grapes continued, “you are led to believe that Quebec should be for the French and the rest of Canada for the English.” In Quebec City Bouchard said the program "represents an increase of $195 million, which reflects the spirit of the Official Languages Bill (C-72) and the Meech Lake Accord." Bouchard also said Bill C-72 poses no threat to Bill 101, but that the federal government would not let the fate of the province’s En glish speaking population rest in the hands of the provincial government.The statement w as applauded by Orr.NO DANGER?Another comment by Bouchard however, did not sit easy with the Alliance Quebec president.“Bouchard said that the English population was not in danger and the francophone population was the one that is threatened."While the English language may not disappear, the English community could die overnight.The English community is fragile and does deserve protection," On-said.Keith-Ryan supports Orr on this The Townshippers have sent a letter to Ottawa demanding protection of Quebec’s English commuai ty, saying that without the full force of Bill C-72, anglophones would be “threatened”.Orr and Keith-Ryan said they saw some good in Bouchard’s announcement, but reserved any open praise for the future, when the full effect of the program can he evaluated.Went to Miami to visit sick mother.Smuggling trial: Accused denies evidence of customs officers, own partner By John McCaghey GRANBY — José Aguiar took the stand Wednesday as first defence witness in his own trial on smuggling 2.25 kilos of cocaine into Canada at Philipsburg.The illegal drug had an estimated street value of between $800,000 to $1 million.It was found in his truck on Sept.19.1986.Aguiar said his sister and brother-in-law arrived from Miami to visit him in Montreal on Sept.12,1986.He said he received a telephone call from his mother that night informing him doctors had discovered cancer in her right breast.“We discussed it and it was agreed the best thing would be for me to visit her and provide moral support,” Aguiar explained.He said he was completely opposed to the suggestion of a radical mastectomy and he telephoned clinics in the United States in an attempt to find another cure.FRANCHISE PARTNERS In reply to questions by defence lawyer Raphael Schachter, Aguiar said he and Montreal lawyer Louis Kaperonis, who testified Tuesday, were partners in an attempt to obtain a “Briskets” franchise.He said they had preliminary discussions with the owner of a Quebec City building about a potential lease.“Kaperonis knew a lot of people in the food industry and I think 80 per cent of all the restaurants in Montreal are owned by Greeks.” Aguiar said.He said there was no set time limit for negotiating the lease.Aguiar said he lent Kaperonis the keys to his Jeep on Sept.15 because Kaperonis told him he was having car problems.Aguiar said he flew from Dorval to Miami on the morning of Sept.18 and planned on staying five days.He said that when he and his mother arrived at her Miami home shortly after 1 p.m.there was a message for him on her answering machine to contact Kaperonis at his Montreal office.He said he reached Kaperonis that evening and the lawyer managed to convince him to return to Montreal the next day to complete the real estate deal or the project would fall flat.PEOPLE S EXPRESS “I told him I couldn’t cash in my return ticket because of the deal I made when I bought it and I wasn't prepared to spend $700 or $900 for a direct flight to Montreal,” Aguiar said.“Then we came up with People’s Express and I told him he would have to meet me in Burlington, Vt., and he agreed.” Aguiar said at Burlington airport he and Kaperonis took his luggage out to the Jeep.Kaperonis drove, they stopped for gas and then proceeded towards the border.Aguiar said they stopped at a rest area to allow Kaperonis to have a bowel movement and he got out of the jeep and walked around, then followed Kaperonis into the building.He said he relieved himself, splashed water on his face and cleaned up, then walked downstairs to the Jeep.“1 fished for the keys then realized Kaperonis had them.1 turned around and he was coming down the steps.” MET ONLY MOTHER Aguiar said that took about five minutes.He said the only person he w'as with in Miami was his mother, and said his luggage was checked through from Miami to Burlington on People’s Express.Defence lawyer Schachter produced Aguiar’s un used Eastern Airlines return ticket to Dorval with a pre-boarding pass dated for Sept.22 1986.Aguiar denied Kaperonis’ testi mony about him being bent over in the Jeep, said he had never ton died a screwdriver and didn't see one on the trip from Burlington to the border.He could not explain how two packages of cocaine found at customs got under the seat of the Jeep, said he had never used drugs and spoke vehemently against drug users and traffickers.He denied statements made by customs officers who testified earlier in the trial.Federal prosecutor Serge Cham poux will resume cross-examination when the trial conti nues today._ v y 0** A» J ».V* 7 y a if: .*• f » V\» r.#XS‘.W itit.W «I % i .’R*»-.

Egg producers in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are going to get a two week-holiday this summer as part of an effort to bring egg production in line with demand, a spokesman for the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency said Monday.Barns in those provinces will be kept empty for two weeks once the existing hens are removed at the end of their production cycle, Ian Elliot said in an interview.Normally, the barns are restocked after the existing flock is removed and the barns cleaned.Elliot also said a temporary increase in the producer levy of one cent a dozen will be imposed from August to the end of December to help build up a surplus removal fund that pays for the sale of surplus eggs to processors.Both actions were approved at a meeting of the agency's board of directors.It’s also considering a three-per-cent reduction in egg output by producers across Canada next year The agency loses about 50 cents a dozen on surplus eggs because they go to processors.The price for processors is dictated by U.S.egg prices because they can import eggs from the U.S., where prices fell sharply during 1987.The price for table eggs is set by a cost-of-production formula and is over $1 a dozen for most grades.TORONTO (CP) — Media giant Maclean Hunter will take a minority position in magazine publisher CB Media as part of a swap of two publications that also involves Financial Post Co.agreements, Maclean Hunter will sell Small Business magazine, a publication for entrepreneurs published 10 times a year, to CB Media, best known for its monthly magazine Canadian Business.Toronto-based CB Media will sell Your Money, a personal finance magazine published 11 times a year, to Financial Post.Maclean Hunter owns more than 60 per cent of Toronto Sun Publishing Corp., to which it sold Financial Post last fall.Toronto Sun now owns 60 per cent of Financial Post, having sold the balance to two other shareholders.Neville Nankivell, president of the Financial Post, said the company will merge Your Money, which has lost money since its launch in 1985, into its own profitable monthly magazine, Money-wise, and will relaunch the combined publication in September.TOKYO (AP) — Japan is chipping away at its mammoth trade surplus by expanding imports and overseas investment but the United States has yet to adequately address its own foreign trade imbalance, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry said Tuesday.In a report on Japan's foreign trade in 1987, MITI said structural changes in the country’s economy, combined with the yen’s appreciation against the U.S.dollar, have led to increased imports and a slowing of growth in exports.“Japan’s industrial structure is becoming geared to domestic demand,” said Atsushi Oi, dircctorof the ministry’s International Trade Research Office.“Manufactured imports are increasing rapidly and the distribution system is undergoing a change.” Imports of manufactured goods rose to $73.9 billion US in fiscal 1987 from $55.2 billion in fiscal 1986, fuelled primarily by the rapid ap preciation of the Japanese yen, according to government statistics.THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OFCANADA We’re out to

women is worth every penny Choosing friends can be a difficult lesson Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I am in a real bind and need your advice.Here is exactly what happened.Do you see any way out for me?Last June, after college graduation, 1 moved from the East Coast to Los Angeles.1 had no close friends in L.A., only acquaintances.A guy I will call “Willie” totaled his car and was in a spot.He needed transportation to get to and from his job.His dad offered to lend him money to buy a new one, but he needed a car “for a few days.” Would 1 help him rent a car?He was under 25 and had no credit card, I said, “OK”.Three days later I called Willie to see how things were working out.He said, “Everything is great.I returned the rental and my dad loaned me money to buy a Rabbit.” Three weeks later 1 got a call from the car rental place asking me to return the car.I told them the car had been returned.They said, “A guy brought the car in and exchanged it for a Rabbit.” Of course he put the new car charge on my card.I called Willie right away.The phone had been disconnected.A mutual friend told me the next day that Willie had wrecked the new Rabbit and left town.My credit card bill is $2,000.It makes no sense to sue the guy, according to my lawyer, because he doesn’t have anything and it’s not worth the effort and legal bills.Do you see any way out for me?— Stuck in Calif.Dear Stuck: I enlisted the help of an expert, Morris Belzberg, chairman and CEO of Budget Rent-A-Car.Here’s his answer: The loan of this young man’s credit card to a casual acquaintance was the same as giving him an open-end cash gift.The victim is now the beneficiary of the most valuable lesson a young man can learn: Be very careful when choosing friends.And when in doubt revert to the old adage, “Man’s best friend is a dog.” Dogs cannot sign credit card vouchers nor can they take out car rental contracts.Dear Ann Landers: If you want to know what is wrong with today’s youth, I can tell you.It’s the adults.I am a 45-year-old woman with three children and three grandchildren — not exactly a kid.In the four years that I have been working with the public I have seen it all.The way some parents treat their children is a disgrace.No wonder the children turn out hostile, angry and destructive, a problem to society and themselves.I've seen parents hit, kick, beat, curse and scream at their children in shopping malls, restaurants and on buses.If they treat them like that in public lean just imagine how they treat them at home.Children need to be respected and loved.They treat others the way they are treated.They learn what they live.Isn’t there enough suffering in this world without heaping abuse and humiliationon those we are supposed to value?1 know this letter is too long and too poorly written to be printed, but it is something that I had to say.— Caring, Loving Mom in S.Carolina Dear Loving Mom: Thanks for saying it.Your message is an important one and you said it well.No need to apologize.Write again anytime.A few weeks ago there was a story in the Gazette that I hope everyone saw, but I’m sure everyone didn’t.As a result, here are the main facts of the story for those who missed it the first time around.The Quebec Justice Department and the Minister of Justice, Mr.Herbert Marx, have established a province-wide hot line to help battered women.The service, SOS Violence Conjugale, has a toll-free number that anyone can call to get help.The number is 1-800-363-9010.The service is bilingual, and callers are referred to an appropriate agency by the operator taking the call.This service is of particular help to women living in rural areas where police stations and social agencies do not exist within a few minutes ride by bus or metro and it now attracts about 100 calls per month.In fact, even some men are calling, asking for help because they want to stop abusing their wives.There haven’t been many so far, just 121 since the service opened in December, but it’s a start.Perhaps the message that our government will not tolerate such violence is sinking in.Prosecutions are roughly five times what they wre last year and Mr.Marx has Down the Pike By Ashley Sheltus allocated almost three million dollars to fight ‘domestic violence’.The money and attention are good but the main benefit to battered women is that the sum of money sends the message that the government is serious and that resources are being made available to help.The subliminal message is also a powerful one —three million dollars added to existing programs, tells battered women that they are important and that they are worth saving.After years of battering, anyone can be excused for wondering if they are worth saving.The reason I’m writing ths now is that 1 just received a set of statistics from the shelter for battered women in Cowansville.Added to those already collected, the information is disturbing.Based on a sample of 100 women, it shows 25% of them claim that the violent por- nography their partners use is a contributing factor to the battering they receive.In addition, 15% of the women report that they are forced to act out scenes from magazines, books and videos.I mentioned earlier that battering can make a woman wonder if she is worth saving.Being forced to play the role of a ‘willing’ submissive is far more destructive to the ego because most people will assume that the victim is a masochist.In fact, what happens is that unless the woman plays some fantasy submissive role that turns the man on, she’s beaten.In many cases, what happens to her during the role-playing is less severe than a real beating and she opts for what seems to be the easier course.It isn’t.Physical wounds heal, psychological wounds are deeper and less easy to heal because they are less visible.Even so, the women who have replied to the questionnaire have not given up and are fighting back.The information being gathered will be used for a series of articles in national magazines and I welcome letters (anonymous or signed) from anyone who has had any experience with violent pornography — that includes men.I would like to know the titles of ma- terial used, what the main theme was, how the men used it before and after the violence and if it was used or referred to during the violence.The insidious effect of violent pornography is that almost without exception, the women in it are portrayed as at least willing partners, often as eager partners.Despite the fact that women are coerced into participating and pre tending they are ‘willing’, the overall effect is to build the idea that they are in fact ‘masochists’ and will be branded as such by society should they dare’ to complain.Finally, I’d like to assure women that shelters such as Horizon Pour Elle do offer refuge.The Cowansville police in particular are very-quick to respond to any call from the shelter in the rare event that a man tries to break in.Once you’re there — you are safe.No matter what threats the man makes about what he’ll do, he won’t.he can’t.Included in the idea of refuge is the support the woman gets, particularly emotional support.The message is simple — whatever happened was not your fault.Next week, the 1988 exhibition at the Missisquoi Museum — including an exposé about .DUNHAM! Modern technology must respect the children MONTREAL(CP) —Medical advances that have helped infertile people to become parents must be closely regulated to safeguard the rights of infants, a Montreal law professor warned Tuesday.“The desire to have children is both natural and legitimate,’’ Jean-Louis Baudouin said.“But society cannot permit the satisfaction of that desire in all circumstances, just as it cannot justify kidnapping or uncontrolled adoption from Third World countries as a means to have children.’’ Baudouin, of Université de Montreal, told an international conference on human rights and medicine that the rights of the child “must come first when regulating the use of new birth technology.“The law must not sign a blank cheque for the use of such new-technology in birth just because people want kids.” Baudouin said fertility technology has social consequences.Some forms of artificial insemination might encourage parenthood among homosexual couples or among women who intend to remain single.He said surrogate motherhood could produce severe psychological trauma in a child who learns that he was simply bought from the woman who bore him.The increasing number of fertility clinics must be regulated to avoid “the industrialization of pro- creation.” Baudouin said women must be given more information on the consequences and risks of such new conception procedures as artificial insemination and the use of fertility drugs.Another ethical issue was raised by Bernard Dickens, a professor of both law and medicine at University of Toronto who said a patient’s wishes can conflict with goals of hospital staff.He said the dilemma of whose rights prevail is of growing concern in such areas as AIDS-infected pregnant women who want natural childbirth.He said it is suspected natural childbirth is a means by which the deadly condi- tion can be transferred to infants.“The health professional has an interest beyond that of the mother and in the United States some doctors have gone so far as to get a court order for a caesarean section in the interests of the child,” Dickens said.“The question that arises here is : Who is in control — the patient, the health professional or society in the form of its agencies such as the courts?” About 130 health professionals from Canada and the United States are attending the conference which is sponsored by the Canadian Human Rights Foundation and McGill University's Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law.COOKSHIRE PIZZERIA OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK SPECIALTIES: PIZZA - ITALIAN FOOD STEAKS — CHICKEN - SEAFOOD COUPON Present this coupon and Valid until end of June receive a large Pizza for 875-3166 the price of.a Medium TO CRAIG ST.COOKSHIRE Prop: Charles Arseneault Receptions for all occasions Restaurant — Dining Room — Bar Businessmen's Luncheons (Fully Licensed) ûberge aauena COUNTRY MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY & SATURDAY FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE: FEATURING: BIG FOOT 70 CRAIG ST.COOKSHIRE, QUE.TEL: 875-3413 Korean veterans getting deserved recognition OTTAWA — Canadians who served in the Korean War are being awarded badges by their country.Vetern Affairs Minister, George Hees, presented the first Korean Service badge to members of a delegation he led to Korea in April The delegates were veterans of the war that ended 35 years ago.Hees thanked the Korean Veterans Association for pointing out that, unlike the First and Second World War veterans, Korea veterans did not receive service badges at the end of hostilities.“It is high time these veterans were recognized for their tremendous efforts,” Hees said.The badge, designed for wear on SUPER EXTERIORS sunt ACRYLIC (Lit AND SUflt INAAUl UMTHAW rot HOOK.ALL COLORS.I'll AOuC!

Presbyterian Congregation of Inverness celebrates a century and a half of continuing services By Ann Wright The sun chose to shine on Invex-ness on the afternoon of May 22, 1988 when former parishioners, descendants of former parishio ners, friends from the congregations at Thetford Mines and Kin-near’s Mills joined the Inverness congregation to help celebrate the one hundred and fifty years the Presbyterian Congregation has been in Inverness.Through the untiring efforts of the committee of Cromarty and Margaret Cruikshank, Lorraine Learmonth, Margaret Dempsey and the Rev.George Yando, the day turned out to be a great success and in the words of the guest speaker, the Rev.Waldon Moase, “filled with joy and praise to God for a century and a half of divine guidance”.The subject of the Rev, Moase's sermon was Church Renewal.He reminded us that in our concern about the church of Jesus Christ that Christ asks us to humble ourselves, pray and turn from our wicked ways and he, in turn, hears, forgives and heals.The Rev.Moase had served three years in Inverness as a student minister graduating in 1972.For the past three years he has been minister of the West River Pastoral Charge in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.The Inverness community was pleased that he and his wife Alma were able to visit once more.They were guests of their friends Bernard and Mildred Robinson.The service in the church started at 2:30.A choir under the direction of the Rev.Yando and Margaret Cruikshank rendered the anthem I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say.The hymns sung were All People That On Earth Do Dwell, Follow Me The Master Said, The Church’s One Foundation and Oh God Our Help In Ages Past.The Rev.George Yando sang the beaut iful solo by F.Fator, Father.Not My Will But Thine and accompanied himself on the guitar.The beautiful containers of cut flowers adorning the altar and later added to the decorations of the hall were donated by the Andrew Jamieson and Cruikshank families.At the close of the special service, the ladies of the church ser- ved a delicious supper of salads, sandwiches and squares in the Oddfellows Hall.At the supper, the Rev.James Jack brought greetings from the Quebec Presbytery.Also congratulations were extended to Cromarty Cruikshank who on April 13, 1988 had completed 41 years on the Board of Elders of St.Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.In 1838 St.Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Inverness was orga nized.In 1839, under the leadership of the missionary Rev.Simon C.Fraser, who also is believed to be the first Presbyterian minister in Inverness, the first church on the farm of the late Neil Macmillan was erected.This was the grounds that the cemetery is found today in Inverness Village.In 1860, when Dr.John Crombie was the minister, the new and present St.An-drew's Church building was erected.From the Annals of Megantic County by Dugald McKillop, we learn that the first log meeting house was not denominational but was built by all the settlement together.The second log meeting house was erected by the Congre-gationalists and the Presbyterians in 1838 being the same year the Inverness Presbyterian Congregation was established, building their own church the following year.Following Church Union in 1925 the Inverness Congregation voted to maintain its Presbyterian identity.The congregations of St.Andrew's and the United Church worshipped together in St.Andrew’s Church in the summer and because of its smaller size and being more easily heated, the United Church was used in winter.Seeing the futility of keeping two churches in re pair, it was decided on January 7, 1960 that the smaller church should be closed.Since that time both congregations have enjoyed worship and fellowship together.Since 1982 St.Andrew’s Church shares the same resident minister with Kinnear’s Mills and Thetford Mines.Packages of hasti-notes featuring the photo of the church were on sale as souvenir items for $2.00.They may be purchased by contacting Mrs.Margaret Cruikshank at R It.2 Inverness, Que.GOS 1K0.The photo shows from left to right- Ronnie Kelso and Cromarty Cruikshank, elders, The Rev.Waldon Moase and his wife Alma, The Rev.George Yando, Maxine McCrea, Raymond Dempsey and Douglas Cox, elders.Card of Thanks MOULDY — The family of the late Marguerite King Mouldy would like to take this opportunity toexpress
