OTTAWA (CP) — Archivists and External Affairs officials are rummaging through boxes of documents in search of the ministerial files of former international trade minister Pat Carney.Carney fears the documents, accumulated during the historic free-trade negotiations, were shredded.The External Affairs Department says they weren’t.National archivist Jean-Pierre Wallot hopes they were simply misplaced, Wallot has his staff sorting through 309 boxes of personal and political files Carney gave to the archives after leaving politics.The ministerial files weren’t supposed to be among them, but may have been included by mistake.Premier visits France Chirac congratulates Bourassa on Bill 178 PARIS(CP) — French Prime Minister Michel Rocard tread cautiously Tuesday in commenting on Quebec’s linguistic situation — unlike his predecessor Jacques Chirac, who never hid his admiration for Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa.Bourassa discussed Quebec’s language woes with several leading politicians in the French capital Tuesday.At a joint news conference by Bourassa and Rocard, the latter emphasized non-interference.“It is wise and proper not to interfere in the internal affairs of others,” Rocard said.“I am well aware of the difficulty .and I refrain from passing judgment on delicate negotiations.” But Jacques Chirac, mayor of Paris and former prime minister, was more forthcoming.Chirac said he admired the leadership and style of the Bourassa government.“On the question of the language, I told him my feelings,” Chirac said, adding he congratulated Bourassa on Quebec’s new language law, which retains the French-only rule for outside commercial signs, but allows bilingual signs inside buildings.The new law was passed after the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the French-only provisions of Quebec’s Charter of the French Language as contrary to the province’s charter of rights.The new law is protected by an override clause in the Quebec and Canadian charters of rights.PERSONAL FRIENDS Chirac and Bourassa are personal friends who have been trying to foster closer relations between France and Quebec since 1975, when both men were in power.Laurent Fabius, another former French prime minister, now president of the National Assembly, also commented.“We French find our language very beautiful.I do not want to (comment) further because these decisions are yours.I do not want to interfere but I did express my feelings,” Fabius said.Despite good relations between France and Quebec, negotiations are lagging on the proposed sale to France of a dozen CL-215 water-bombers, manufactured by Cana-dair of Montreal.Members of Bourassa’s entourage said the premier had hoped to obtain, during the course of his 15-day European visit, a formal agreement from the French government on the contract, which has been under negotiation for two years.But Rocard indicated clearly that his government has other budget priorities.A release issued Tuesday spoke of re-examining the aircraft investment in 1990.though the need has become urgent with the aging of France’s fleet.Rocard said his country’s 1989 budget would emphasize education.“We have enormous budgetary constraints,” said Rocard, adding that he has been prime minister for only 10 months and must live with the economy he inherited from his predecessors.Bourassa said he remains hopeful that the contract will be finalized in 1990.He is scheduled to return on Wednesday to France’s aerospace centre at Toulouse to visit the Aerospatiale plant before proceeding to Switzerland and Belgium.Crown corps seek to opt out of Privacy Act OTTAWA (CP) — If you use a Pe-tro-Canada credit card when you fill your gas tank, or belong to Air Canada’s frequent-flyer program, there’s no guarantee that your name, address or telephone number won’t be peddled to other companies.That's because the federal government may be reneging on a promise to force all Crown corporations to operate under the Privacy Act, John Grace, federal privacy ombudsman, said Tuesday.Air Canada was given a full exemption from the act because it was partially privatized last year and is no longer considered a Crown corporation, a Treasury Board spokesman said.Cabinet has not ruled on Petro-Canada’s request for a partial exemption, he said.The exemptions appear to fly in the face of government policy.In 1987, Ray Hnatyshyn, then justice minister, agreed to a recommendation by an all-party committee that both companies and all other Crown corporations to adhere to the act.The Privacy Act restricts the manner in which government institutions use information collected on private individuals.It also allows individuals to examine their own files kept in federal agencies.But unless covered by the act, Air Canada and Petro-Canada would be free to do anything they wished with client information.NOT COVERED "The private sector is not covered by any privacy or data-protection provisions,” said Grace, who opposes the exemptions.“They don’t have to give you the information, they don’t have to give their employees the information.” It's theoretically possible that Air Canada or any company in the private sector could also use this information for profit, he said.Lubicons leave talks, are OTTAWA (CP) — The Lubicon Indians walked out of talks Tuesday over their northern Alberta land claim because they want more money than the federal government offered, says a spokesman for the federal negotiator.Ken Colby said the band was offered $45 million, but the Lubicons want between $114 million and $275 million more than that in compensation.Negotiations began in November after Lubicon Chief Bernard Omi-nayak and Alberta Premier Don Getty tentatively agreed on terms for a 246-square-kilometre reserve for the tiny band.Both sides had been optimistic they would reach an agreement on the band’s longstanding claim.The Lubicons quickly left Ottawa on Tuesday and were not immediately available for comment.Colby said Ottawa's offer amounted to about $87,000 per per- “If they're not here we’ll have to look elsewhere and if they're not elsewhere, we ll have to worry.” Wallot said Tuesday.The files are important because they provide a picture of the minister’s thoughts during the trade negotiations and what influenced her decisions.They would include advice given Carney on free trade and her personal notations throughout the negotiations.If the files were destroyed, “the loss would be very great,” Wallot said.“It’s very bad because she was a very important minister in a very touchy position during the trade negotiations." DOCUMENTS MISPLACED Wallot said it ’s not surprising documents are misplaced or even mistakenly destroyed.What is distressing is that it happened to these documents."It’s one of the three or four ma jor negotiations of the century,” Wallot groaned.Under the National Archives Act, which came into effect in June 1987, all institutional or ministerial documents from a minister's office must be passed on to the archives.Institutional files deal with the usual operation of a department and are kept by that department.They are eventually passed on to the archives.Ministerial files contain papers like private notes made by ministers and briefings students rs provided by some members of their staff.A minister’s personal and politi-cial papers are his or her property, but are sometimes donated to the archives.When Carney left international trade in the fall of 1987, she sent about 50 boxes of papers to the External Affairs Department for her successor, John Crosbie.She says the boxes contained both her ministerial and institutional papers.External Affairs staff shredded about 20,000 documents from the boxes.But Eric Wang, the depar tment's inspector-general, said an investigation showed the only documents that were destroyed were duplicates.Still, the ministerial —- km#** RECOKD/GKANI SIMEON The entire student body at North Hatley Elementary Student Carl Monk,

OTTAWA (CP) — Five newly elected New Democrat MPs won’t recognize a labor contract with their own staff — touching off a labor-management dispute in the party that champions workers.The NDP has been the only major federal party to have a collective agreement with its parliamentary staff since 1976.Less than three years ago it successfully pushed to extend collective bargaining to government employees working on Parliament Hill through passage of legislation in June 1986.But MPs’ staffs were exempted from that legislation and now the NDP is embroiled in a labor dispute in its own ranks because the five caucus members, including Dave Barrett, former British Columbia premier, think the collective agreement infringes on management rights.Under the Canada Labor Code, the NDP staff association on the Hill is strictly voluntary and must use moral suasion rather than the threat of a strike to win concessions.All NDP caucus members in the last Parliament agreed to abide by a collective agreement signed in May 1987 and expiring this year.But since the Nov 21 election the five dissidents have notified caucus chairman Audrey McLaughlin they won’t sign the agreement.Three of the five MPs acknowledged Tuesday they’re in a difficult situation as members of a labor-oriented party but are standing by their positions.GIVES REASONS Lyle Kristiansen, a B.C.New Democrat and member of the International Woodworkers Union, said by telephone from his riding that his objections to signing are both philosophical and practical.“I’m a union member myself and I certainly support collective bargaining," he said “But MPs’ staff are in a position of trust.I don’t think MPs’ personal staff should be represented by a union.It’s a management rights issue.” unhappy with latest settlement offer son or $300,000 per household.“We feel this offer compares very favorably with other recent settlements." he said in a telephone interview "We re a little dismayed that it was not given greater consideration.” BUILD FACILITIES The financial offer included $34 million to build 133 homes, roads, a school, a band office and other community facilities, he said.The government also offered a $10 million economic development package and a $500.000 trust fund to help elders continue their traditional way of life.The tentative agreement came after band members blocked roads into 10.000 square kilometres of disputed land about 350 kilometres northwest of Edmonton Colby said the government was ready to recognize all 514 members of the Lubicon band and to create a 246-square-kilometre reserve.The Lubicons believed the offer was inadequate and didn’t address all their needs, he said.The offer was discussed with In-dian Affairs Minister Bill McKnight and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s chief of staff, Stanley Hartt, before it was presented."Their instructions were this was to be a final offer, ” Colby said files cannot be found Wang said the original documents were dispersed throughout existing files and could be reas sembled.The department is now doing just that w ith a couple of files to prove the point.The work should be completed within a few days, at which point Carney will be able to inspect them.Wallot said Carney should be able to determine if they contain her ministerial files If they aren’t there or among the boxes at the archives, the search w ill be exten ded to Treasury Board — where Carney went after international trade and then to Crosbie’s office.Bush plans first trip to Canada OTTAWA (CP) — U.S.President George Bush will make his first foreign trip as president to Canada on Feb.10.The meeting in Ottawa with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was announced Tuesday by both the prime minister’s office and the U.S.Embassy.However, officials say it is too early to determine what the meeting will entail.“It will be a working visit,” said Victoria Cordova, spokesman for the embassy.“I can only speculate .that this will be a chance to set an agenda, to decide how and with what frequency they will be meeting in the future.” Bruce Phillips, press secretary for Mulroney, said the two leaders will likely discuss bilateral issues, set an agenda for future meetings and exchange views on world events.It will be their first meeting since Bush was elected president, al though they have spoken several times on the telephone since the November election.However, Bush met Mulroney as vice-president in Ottawa in Janua ry 1987.“This will be his first meeting with George Bush as president so that puts a different nuance on it," said Cordova Mulroney used the first meeting to scold the vice-president about the lack of American action on acid rain.Bush told reporters following the meeting: “I got an earful.” Blackout brings baby boom MONTREAL (CP) — Jacqueline Wall and her husband got that glint in their eyes when the lights went out across Quebec the night of April 18.Wall hadn’t made a connection between that night and the second child she is expecting this week until a newspaper headline caught her attention.The article contended that, just as in New York in 1965, the power failure has produced a side effect — a baby boom in Quebec nine months later.Wall, a teacher, is not absolutely sure it happened that night.She clipped the article anyway, thrilled to be perhaps part of a historic moment.She remembers the night well, mainly because the blackout grounded her husband, a busy municipal politician "He had a meeting cancelled It was one of those rare nights he’s home,” she recalled.Their first daughter, now three years old, was asleep They were “kind of planning” a second child anyway, and well, there’s not much that you can do in the dark LEFT IN DARK “It's romantic when the lights go out, when you can’t read, you can’t watch television, you can’t do a lot of things,” Wall laughed, It’s too early to tell whether the province, worried about a dropping birth rate, really is reaping unexpected benefits from the blackout That claim is based on informal interviews conducted last week by Le Soleil, a Quebec City newspaper.of nursing staff on the maternity wards of eight hospitals in Quebec City and Montreal.k 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, January 25, 1989 Mulroney appointments to Supreme Court popular, ‘lily white’ By Jim Brown OTTAWA (CP) — With his latest two judicial appointments, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney became the first Conservative in recent history to name a majority of the nine judges on the Supreme Court of Canada.In so doing, he confirmed one of the oldest truisms in this country’s politics: Whatever else they are, Canadians are not Americans.South of the border, Ronald Reagan’s decisions led to pitched battles over nominations to the U S.Supreme Court and to predictions that, with a new right-wing majority, the court may start retrenching on oast decisions that leaned to the left.Mulroney, by contrast, has won praise from all sides, including the civil liberties lobby, for a moderate approach.“I think both these appointments are lily white,” Ed Ratushny, a human rights specialist at the University of Ottawa, said following Monday’s nomination of Charles Gonthier and Peter Cory.‘‘There was speculation that Mulroney might use these appointments to change the ideological direction of the court.but if there was a temptation for him to do that, he’s resisted it.‘‘All five of his appointments are just first class.” Peter Russell, a political scien- tist at the University of Toronto and longtime observer of the Supreme Court, says Canadian judges simply have not divided as sharply as their U.S.counterparts into liberal or conservative blocs.DIFFERENT PATH And since the Charter of Rights was entrenched in the Constitution under Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal government in 1982, Canadian party leaders have not followed the American example and made the naming of judges part of their election platforms.This week, at a boisterous Washington rally of anti-abortion groups, President George Bush called for reversal of the landmark 1973 court ruling that gave Ameri- can women freedom of choice.Last January’s 5-2 ruling by the Canadian court, striking down 20-year-old federal restrictions on abortion, did arouse anti-abortion lobby g.oups.But Russell thinks it will take more than that to politicize the high court.“What you have to get is a batch of cases — not one or two, but a batch of them — that get a lot of publicity and create a mood on one side of the political spectrum.“With the people like Cory and Gonthier that are getting appointed, we may have a middle-of-the-road court that doesn’t ruffle any feathers.” DODGED COMMENT Gonthier, in the best Canadian tradition, has already dodged personal comment on both the abortion issue and last December’s 5-0 ruling against Quebec’s French-only commercial sign law.In an interview following his appointment, he wouldn’t agree the high court had made new law in either case.“It’s a matter of definition, and some things just don’t lend themselves to precise definition.” Cory, considered a friend of civil liberties by some who have studied his judgments on the Ontario Court of Appeal, refused to categorize himself as conservative or liberal.“It’s misleading to do so,” he said.“It vanes witn tne judgment.” Among Mulroney’s other appointments, Claire L’Heureux-Dube is considered moderate-to-liberal, based on her early opinions in Charter of Rights cases.Gerard La Forest is usually counted as a conservative, giving individual rights a narrower interpretation.John Sopinka, a prominent Toronto trial lawyer named to the court last year, has so far frustrated all attempts to label him.“It’s quite remarkable that no one quite knows what the man’s politics are,” says University of Toronto law professor Bernard Dickens.Tories send former MP NeWS-itl-bfief McKenzie to Caribbean By Dan Leger OTTAWA (CP) — Former Tory MP Dan McKenzie has been given a federal contract to study commercial opportunities for Canadians in the sun-drenched Turks and Caicos islands.A spokesman for the External Affairs Department confirmed Tuesday that McKenzie was given the contract to study ways of increasing Canadian commercial ties and investment in the sparsely populated but idyllic Caribbean islands.McKenzie was a controversial member of Parliament from Winnipeg from 1972 until he decided not to run again in last fall’s general election.He jets off to Kingston, Jamaica, next month for meetings with Canadian officials before continuing on to the Turks and Caicos.He will be accompanied by an external affairs official during the visit.McKenzie is expected to be in the chain of 30 islands for about a month, for meetings with government officials and businessmen.He is to report on his findings in late March or early April.However, External Affairs Department officials handling the contract refused to reveal its value and would not provide a reporter with McKenzie’s telephone number The islands are home to about 14,000 people and have been the subject of occasional interest by Canadians who wanted to establish closer political ties between the two Commonwealth countries.At one point, McKenzie urged the annexation of the islands by Ca- nada.That idea was ruled out because of fears that Canada would be accused by other Caribbean countries of having colonial ambitions in the region.And a special parliamentary committee reported in 1987 that commercial ties could be improved, but Canada should not try to annex the tiny country.HOPES FOR BEST Ralph Idema, a spokesman for the Turks and Caicos Canadian Association, based in Canada, said he hopes McKenzie’s visit will lead to benefits for both countries, although he is aware of what he called McKenzie’s occasional “foot-in-mouth disease.” Idema said he is aware of McKenzie’s record, which included such strident opposition to bilingualism in Canada that last year an irate Prime Minister Brian Mulroney stripped him of his post as a parliamentary secretary.McKenzie also got into hot water after visiting South Africa seven years ago on a junket sponsored by the Pretoria government.After the trip, he said blacks under the apartheid regime drank too much, weren't as bright as whites, visited witch doctors and were too primitive to be given political rights.Last year, McKenzie got into a shoving match in the Commons with Toronto Liberal MP John Nunziata Nunziata told the Commons McKenzie was drunk, a charge McKenzie denied.He later apologized for shoving the Liberal MP.But Idema said: “I’m confident he’s not a racist, he’s been there before and has had contacts with the islanders.” Canadian aid for quake victims No transfer for Olson Britain, U.S.want ICAO to look at airport security LONDON (Reuter) — Britain and the United States are calling for an international transport ministers’ meeting to discuss tougher security following the bombing of a Pan Am jumbo jet last month, a British minister said Tuesday.Transport Secretary Paul Chan-non said the United States and Britain are asking the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization to call a special meeting attended by ministers to discuss the crash of the Pan Am Boeing 747 in Scotland, which killed 270 people.The two countries hope the meeting can be held in mid-February at ICAO headquarters.“No government is immune from the threat posed by international terrorism," Channon said in a statement.“We are joining with the government of the U.S.A.to request the council of the International Civil Aviation Organization to hold a special meeting next month.” The airliner, flying to New York from London, crashed on the Scottish town of Lockerbie and investigators said a bomb went off on board.“Our aim will be for ICAO to consider in depth the implications of this callous and indiscriminate attack,” Channon said.Among suggestions to be put to the meeting would be tighter controls of what was taken aboard aircaft, stricter checks on people with access to aircraft and changes to aircraft design to reduce the risk of attack, Channon said.Britain and the United States are among the 33 members of the council of the ICAO, which is responsible for establishing international safety and technical standards for civil aviation.#¦_tel mam Georg*

paramedics from several Canadian provinces are ready to help relief efforts in the southern region of the Soviet Union hit by an earthquake on Monday.“If we are needed and wanted, we are ready to go,” said mission organizer George Foster of St.Canut, Que., who helped out in Soviet Armenia after last month’s earthquake.About 24 people, including six dog handlers and their dogs, are poised to leave within hours, Foster said Tuesday.However, it is unlikely the Canadian team is needed, said Igor Lobanov, press attache with the Soviet embassy in Ottawa.Unlike the Armenian quake, which trapped thousands in piles of rubble, the earthquake in Tadzhikistan triggered a giant mudslide that buried several villages.The possibility of survivors this time is not as great, he said.About two dozen Canadians aided rescue efforts after an earthquake Dec.7 devastated Soviet Armenia, killing more than 50,000 and leaving thousands more homeless.Pictures on ballots?QUEBEC (CP) — Ballots used in provincial elections should carry photographs beside the candidates’ names, a backbencher from the opposition Parti Québécois has suggested.Francois Gendron, the PQ’s junior spokesman on electoral reform, argued such a move would help illiterate voters participate more fully in the democratic process.He also suggested pictures of candidates be posted at the entrance to polling booths.Gendron was interviewed prior to a committee hearing into electoral reform The hearing, set for Tuesday, was adjourned because cabinet minister Michel Gratton was ill.The committee last fall rejected a suggestion that ballots carry party symbols as well as candidates’ names.Farmers send bill QUEBEC (CP) — The province’s largest farm union says it’s sending a bill for $230 million to Quebec members of Parliament because that’s how much acid rain cost Quebec farmers last year.Dead and dying trees represent 85 per cent of the cost, said Paul Rouillard, an economist with the Union des producteurs agricoles.Louis Menard, a researcher for the union, said the total cost could be much higher because many Quebec farmers did not participate in the union’s program to evaluate acid rain damage.Menard said the bill is going to Ottawa because much of the air pollution causing acid rain came from the United States, and international relations are a federal responsibility.No AIDS from telephone sex OTTAWA (CP) — There’s no risk of catching AIDS from telephone sex.Engaging in oral sex is low risk.Sex while using a condom is slightly riskier.But forget to use a condom and the risk of transmitting the deadly virus during intercourse becomes very high.That's the news contained in a new and very frank set of national guidelines released Tuesday by the Canadian AIDS Society.The 41-page report assesses the risk of getting AIDS from sexual activities — everything from masturbation to sado-masochism — based on scientific evidence and information from medical experts.“This is not a super-pamphlet for anyone and everyone,” said Stephen Manning, a director of the national coalition of community-based AIDS groups."It is a resource document aimed at educators and counsellors.Fatal crashes drop OTTAWA (CP) — The number of fatal crashes involving Canadian registered aircraft and the number of deaths in those crashes dropped last year from 1987, the Canadian Aviation Safety Board reported Tuesday There were 49 fatal crashes last year which left 94 people dead compared to 53 crashes and 97 fatalities in 1987.The second lowest level of accidents and deaths in the last decade were reported last year.OTTAWA (CP) - An attempt by child killer Clifford Olson to get a transfer to a British Columbia prison was rejected by the Supreme Court of Canada on Tuesday after a hearing marked by an outburst from the mother of one of Olson’s victims.Olson was convicted of first-degree murder after being paid $100,000 in 1981 to lead RCMP to the bodies of 11 children missing in the Vancouver area.He was sentenced to life in prison and has spent most of the 1980s in a segregation unit at Kingston penitentiary.Fergus O’Connor, his lawyer, asked the Supreme Court to order a hearing before an Ontario High Court judge into the legality of the way Olson, seeking a transfer to a federal prison in British Columbia, is being held.Olson says there is no reason to keep him in a unit that is closed 23 hours a day and that does not offer privileges enjoyed by other prisonerss.Prison officials say it is the only way they can guarantee his safety.Terrorist refugee okay OTTAWA (CP) — No rules were broken when an official of a Mozambique terrorist group was given refugee status in Canada, the Immigration Department has concluded after a seven-month investigation.Spokesman Roger White said Tuesday the department has found no reason to act against Francisco Nota Moises, who moved to Victoria in August 1987 and has been working as an information officer for Renamo.Renamo is a Portuguese acronym for the Mozambican National Resistance, a group that has been accused of killing more than 100,000 civilians in an attempt to overthrow the government of Mozambique.“Membershipin an organization is not, per se, grounds for denying admission (to Canada),” said White.“It’s the type of involvement.and the degree of participation.“We have members of the IRA who have been admitted (to Canada) as visitors and landed immigrants.” Fog grounds cruise COLD LAKE, Alta.(CP) —Fog grounded support planes Tuesday, postponing a test flight of an unarmed cruise missle over northern Canada.Maj.Jan Martinsen of Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake said fog at a U.S.air force base in Alaska grounded the tanker planes needed to refuel a huge B-52 bomber carrying the cigarshaped missile to its launch site over the Beaufort Sea.Specially equipped planes that track the cruise during its flight were also unable to take off.The B-52 carrying the missile—which is slightly longer than a full-size North American automobile — had to return to Griffis Air Force Base in New York.The test flight was rescheduled for Thursday.Pizza prankster gets probation PETERBOROUGH, Ont.(CP) — A woman used an automatic dialler to make 844 obscene and harrassing phone calls to a female coworker of her husband's at a local pizza shop.Janice Drummond, 33, pleaded guilty in provincial court Monday to making indecent phone calls.She also admitted assaulting a police officer after she was caught in the act Nov.5.She received one year probation.Court was told Drummond wanted to annoy Debra Atwood — a co-worker of her husband Walter Drummond — and repeatedly called the pizza shop where they worked.AIDS from oral sex BOSTON (AP) — The first case of transmission of the AIDS virus from a woman to a man through oral sex has been reported in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine.The case of the 60-year-old New England man was reported by two physicians from the Lahey Clinic Medical Centre in Burlington, Mass.“I hope the message gets through, especially to younger people in high school and college, who cling to the belief that they're all right if they don’t have intercourse," said Dr.Peter Spitzer, one of the authors.Weather Today will be mostly sunny, a little cold, the high -10.Thursday, snow.Doonesbury OMV, BOOPS/B, IF VOU’lL JUST PROP TUB ROBB, WB'lL B006IB ! \

Greenhouse effect questioned WASHINGTON (Reuter) — A U.S.government research team said Tuesday it has studied temperature and rainfall records going back nearly 100 years and found no evidence of increasingly warmer or dryer conditions.“The most important result of this study is that there is no statistically significant evidence of an overall increase in annual temperature or change in annual precipitation (rainfall)” in the United States over the period 1895-1987, the government researchers concluded.‘ ‘The results of all tests indicate no significant trend over the 93-year period,” they said in an article in the January edition of Geophysical Research Letters.Their findings contradict suggestions by other scientists that the global climate is gradually warming and rainfall declining because of the so-called greenhouse effect.If anything, there was abnormally high rainfall in the United States between 1970 and 1986, said the researchers, Kirby Hanson, George Maul and Thomas Karl of the Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Bundy executed STARKE, Fla.(AP) — Ted Bundy, a law-school dropout who confessed to killing 20 women in four U.S.states, was executed Tuesday for the 1978 murder of a 12-year-old girl.An black-hooded executioner pulled a switch at 7:06 a.m.EST to send 2,000 volts through Bundy's body.Seconds before, Bundy spoke his last words to his lawyer and a minister.“Give my love to my family and friends.” More than 100 death penalty supporters waiting in a field across from the Florida State Prison cheered and lit sparklers and firecrackers at the signal that Theodore Robert Bundy, 42, was dead.“Burn, Bundy, burn!” some shouted.About two-dozen people against the death penalty also kept a vigil outside the prison.“The people of Florida today administered justice,” Gov.Bob Martinez said IV2 hours after the execution.“If there’s ever been anyone on Florida’s death row that deserved the electric chair, Ted Bundy was that individual.” Mitterand denies trading charge PARIS (Reuter) — France’s most influential newspaper put its reputation on the line Tuesday, repeating allegations that President Francois Mitterrand had received a secret report linking a close friend with an insider-trading scandal.The presidency immediately hit back, issuing its second denial in 24 hours of Le Monde’s accusations.“No document, no note, we’re not even speaking of a report, has been given to the president either by his aides or by the interior minister about the latest developments of the Pechiney affair,” Mitterrand’s spokesman, Hubert Ve-drine, told reporters.Le Monde, traditionally sympathetic to Mitterrand and the Socialist government, Tuesday repeated charges it first made over the weekend that Mitterrand had been given a report on stock-dealing activities of his friend Roger-Patrice Pelât.Afghanistan heating up KABUL (AP) — The U.S.embassy said Tuesday it has warned Americans to get out of Afghanistan and most Americans, and other foreigners there, will prepare to depart.Some diplomatic sources predicted President Najibullah will declare martial law as the last Soviet military forces withdraw and leave his army to fight alone against a Muslim insurgency that began after a Communist coup 11 years ago.Other than those in embassies, most westerners are with the International Aid Mission, a charitable organization that has operated in Afghanistan for many years.Among other things, it runs an eye hospital in Kabul.“They’ve finally gotten through to us,” said Richard Penner, a Canadian who directs the mission.Penner said 10 people would stay, including himself, but the other 42 would be gone by Feb.11, four days before the Soviet withdrawal deadline.The mission had 85 people in Afghanistan last

Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — Townshippers Association has met one of its toughest opponents in the language debate — and sparks did not fly.The head of the local English-rights group.Heather Keith-Ryan and some of her entourage met members of the Mouvement estrien pour le français Tuesday to discuss possible solutions to the volatile current language debate.Keith-Ryan.who requested the meeting between the area's two opposing language forces, said the discussion went smoothly.“I was glad they came,” she said Thursday in a phone interview from the Townshippers' Sherbrooke office."It’s a first step.We felt it was important to meet the francophone community .” Mouvement president Gérard Lefebvre said it became evident from the outset that there are fundamental differences between the two groups.He said the Mouvement will not compromise on the language of signs as that would send an ambiguous message to young people and immigrants about what is Quebec’s official language.BREAK IMPASSE Keith-Ryan has said the Townshippers Association hopes to meet with several French-language groups to try and break the impasse between the two communities created in part by the passage of Bill 178, Quebec’s new sign-language law.Keith-Ryan has already met with Marcel Bureau, president of the Sherbrooke St-Jean-Baptiste Society.But although there are few differences between the beliefs of the SSJB and Townshippers.the Mouvement is another story."It's a lot like abortion.The two sides are never going to agree.” Keith-Ryan said.Despite the basic differences, both sides said the meeting was fruitful in that it gave them an opportunity to talk about the language situation and to understand each other's positions."We both disapprove of Bill 178 and that Mr.Bourassa didn't show great leadership." Keith-Ryan said."We understand each other.” "Our objective.was to get closer together, to start talking." Le-febvre said.“It was a first contact." “It was important, this contact, to dissipate certain feelings on both sides,” he added.NOT FUNDED Lefebvre emphasized that his group is not funded in any way by government."We are only funded through the small fees paid by our members The people working for the Mouvement are volunteers," he said.Townshippers is funded by federal grants for the official language minorities of all the provinces.Lefebvre said this difference puts the Mouvement at a slight disadvantage.However he described the meeting with Townshippers as “satisfactory” and said the Mouvement will consider some of the ideas brought up by the anglo-rights group, including student exchanges between English and French schools “We didn't close the door on that idea." Lefebvre said "We don't want to close the door on this opportunity for our young people to learn a second language.It would be profitable for both communities.” But he said the final outcome of the student-exchange proposal will depend on the various school boards and schools involved Although no decision was made during or after the meeting on any of the subjects broached by either side.Keith-Ryan said that was not the point.“1 didn't expect to come to any decision." she said "We respect each other 1 think that's the key word, we respect each other We didn't come to any agreement.We just said we would keep in touch " "On the question of student exchanges, we need the Mouvement on our side.It 's a large job.People do want to know us better." she said Keith Ryan said she also stopped by the office of St Francois MNA Monique Gagnon Tremblay after the meeting w ith Lefebvre, but received only symbolic encouragement.She said Gagnon Tremblay told Townshippers the only way to make any changes to Bill 178 would be through discussions between both sides on the language debate."She said that’s the best way to make changes,” Keith Ryan said "She wouldn't say more than that In the meantime the Township pers hope to get started on the school exchange program The group is also working on some other recommendations brought up during its last board meeting.Townshippers are also mailing form letters opposing Bill 178 to be signed by members, as a way to form a unified front "We re getting our members to come forward and say, You can t take our rights away’," Keith Rvan said.Robert Downey ‘Don’t want anybody to do anything drastic’ — > -^ Lenn Chamber waiting for members before taking stand on signs ''^1^1 Bv Ann McLaughlin .aannn.i’rcmhiav cures soar as manv students come which were visible from the street Robert Downey.‘There could be By Ann McLaughlin LENNOXVILLE — The Lennox-ville-Ascot Chamber of Commerce plans to stand behind whatever collective position ends up being taken by its members on Bill 178.No position has been taken by the chamber because details of the law are still unclear, says president Robert Downey, adding that he advised the group’s 110 merchant-members not to change a thing until complete information is known.“We need more information and don’t want anybody to do anything drastic," Downey said, adding that the chamber will clarify everyone’s concerns after meeting St-François MNA and Sherbrooke-area cabinet ’godmother’ Monique uagnon Tremblay.Downey said he doesn’t want people to defy the law, but added that they should not remove their bilingual signs either.He said that a French-only outside signs rule might not be imposed in Lennox-ville because the town may qualify for bilingual status under the new law.‘COULD BE WAYS’ “The law doesn't state that everybody has to take down signs today.depending on population and concentration of anglophones, there could be ways of applying the law differently,” Downey said.He said Lennoxville’s residential population is about 75 per cent anglophone, and when school is in at Champlain and Bishop’s, those fi- gures soar as many students come from out of province.“The chamber is here to represent and channel the opinions of its members," Downey said.If bilingual signs were deemed legal, "That situation would make a lot of English people happy,” he said.“Besides, almost everyone who lives here is bilingual,” he added.To his knowledge.Downey said, local merchants had not begun changing their storefronts since the inside-outside confusion began.SIGNS COME DOWN But in an incident yesterday, workers in Nichol s butcher shop on Queen Street removed English signs posted in the front window, which were visible from the street Store owner Robert Nichol said the threat of repercussions to his business were not the reason he or dered the signs removed.It was another kind of threat of TV ea meras from Channel 7, at the time setting up outside his store, trying to make an issue of it, he said There were also reports that Me tro police were lurking close be hind the French-language TV re porters as they toured the town.But Capt.Jacques Gagnon said in a telephone interview his police men were not out to intimidate anyone and no one had called them in.“I am not aware of this, it must simply have been a coincidence the police were around," Gagnon said.wavs.Restart taking care to keep the compost clean U.S.ash imports continue as Bestan turns waste into precious raw materials ^ r* ~ : J 4L ~ -, ».-w- ir, -At t .it a .11 4i /wxm ci un iirith nmiz rocïii I ntinnc Mr» By David Tweedie MAGOG TOWNSHIP — “I think when it’s recycled, it’s not garbage." That comes from the owner of the Bestan landfill in Magog, in defence of the controversial practice of bringing in wood ash from the United States.Réjean Bessette uses the ash to mix with sewage sludge.The mixture, or compost, is either used as a cover for a landfill, or could be sold as fertilizer to garden nursaries and landscapers.There's some concern over importing the ash under the recent ban by the Quebec government against dumping solid waste from the United States in Quebec.But wood ash was recently re- classified from solid waste to raw material, as long as it is not simply buried in a landfill.That allows Bessette to import ash from wood-burning power plants in Alexandria, New Hampshire.Greenville, Maine, and Burlington, Vermont.SOLVING PROBLEM Bessette says using the ash to mix with sewage sludge in Granby has helped solve a problem at the town's landfill.He said in an interview Tuesday the landfill couldn’t handle the amount of sludge the town's waste treatment plant produces.and the smell generated a lot of complaints from nearby residents.But he said composting killed the odor and made it easier to dispose of the sludge.Bessette said the compost is like black dirt and is used as a cover for the landfill, whereas the sludge is dirty and hard to get rid of.The quality of sludge helps determine the options for using the material once it’s mixed with wood ash.Bessette said Granby’s sludge has some heavy metals in it and is not suitable for much except cover for the landfill.However he has other plans for the compost he plans to make at Magog.FERTILIZER Bessette is stock piling sludge from treatment plants at Orford, Rock Forest, and Deauville.He said chemical analysis shows the material from these communities is not laden with heavy metals.He said he plans to mix this sludge with ash and hopes to sell the compost as fertilizer to garden nurseries and landscapers.The Magog operation also takes sludge from Rock Island — which does contain heavy metals.It’s kept in a separate lagoon and will be used as landfill cover, not fertilizer.The Memphremagog regional municipality (MRC) is among the groups concerned about importing wood ash from New England for use in Quebec.The MRC has called for a six month moratorium so strict regulations can be drawn up to control the practice.WANTS CONTROLS Bessette agrees that controls are needed, butdoesn’t think a moratorium is required to buy time to End of the line for Shoiry and the shaft?Rock Forest council reverses on Sheffield Mine By Rita Legault ROCK FOREST — A small group of Rock Forest citizens have proved you can sometimes fight city hall and win.Following public pressure from a group of residents, the town of Rock Forest has withdrawn its approval for a plan which would have allowed the former Suffield mine site to become the latest dump in the Astern Townships.Last summer town council approved an application before the farmland protection board, La Commission de protection du térri-toire agricole (CPTAQ) which would have allowed the land to be used for non-agricultural purposes — and the abandoned copper mine to be filled with dry garbage.Civil engineer Jean Shoiry, who purchased the land, said he planned to restore the picturesque MacFarland Road site and use it to build two homes.However locals who feared filling in the mine shaft would pollute their drinking water and cause greater environmental problems later, fought hard to get council to reverse its decision to support Shoiry with CPTAQ.Monday that’s what council did.A BATTLE WON A spokesman for the group of citizens.Sherbrooke University professor Max Krell, said Monday night this victory make the group fell it has won its battle against de- velopment of the mine site.While a CPTAQ hearing on the project is still to come, the group feels that with town hall backing their side, victory is imminent.“We’re in a better position,” Krell said.“We are no longer fighting against Shoiry and the town.Now we have the town behind us.” In a statement read to council, Krell congratulated the town for taking “a step forward in prevention of damage to the environment." NO APPROVAL Rock Forest jusitified its decision by saying Shoiry has not yet obtained the necessary permits from Environment Quebec.However the town said it would reconsider Shoiry’s request if the environmental consultant decides to have just a half hectare (about one acre) removed from the green zone for the contruction of a house.The town sees no need to exclude the whole site from the protected green zone.It also insists that Shoiry include a ‘certificate of localization' showing where the house will be located in relation to the abandoned mine shaft, and that he include a document informing the town on how he plans to deal with sewage on the site.The Rock Forest town water supply is situated at the bottom of the former mine site.come up with new regulations.He said he has both the sludge and ash analyzed and follows other procedures to try to make sure no toxic ash comes across the border.He gets his ash only from power plants that burn wood, not incinerators that burn garbage.He also said he uses the same transport company so the loads aren’t carried by a different truck each time.The landfill operator is also trying to convince possible opponents there’s nothing wrong with the practice.He organized a trip last week to check out the New Hampshire wood-burning plant and a compost facility in Kenne-bunkport, Maine.The tour was for ispectors from Magog Township and the Memphremagog MRC, as well as the spokesman for the coalition which fought for the ban on the import of American waste.VERY GOOD’ The spokeman is Pierre Moren-cy.He said Tuesday it was “interesting to see how the wood ash was used to treat the sludge.The process is not complicated and finally is very good for the environment.” But that doesn’t mean Moren-cy’s sold on the status quo.“We have no problem with the system.I think the system is very good.But the problem is the (lack of) regulations to control the quality of the Pierre Morency.Composting sludge with wood ash ‘is very good for the environment.’ ash.” Morency is working with others to come up with recommendations on how to make sure only good qua lity wood ash moves across the bor der.He’s looking at regulations to control its transportation to make sure nothing is added, and he’s also looking at steps to make sure only good ash is loaded on the trucks in the first place.* Reading for books: a grand read-a-thon involved all 103 pupils at North Hatley School.For seven weeks they read as many hooks as they could, then hit up parents and friends to raise money for new reference hooks.The World Rook Encyclopedia project was a first for the E.T.School Board.The students raised $2400, and World Rook donated an additional $1200.In some classes students presented book reports; others answered questions about what they had read.Each won a medal — gold for 10 books or more, silver for seven or more, and bronze for up to seven.Everybody won.as seen Tuesday on all 103 young faces.BONELESS

RECORD—Wednesday, January 25, 1989 The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial More at stake I Letters Matches can be lethal in the wrong^ hands than just drug abuse It’s time for a national levelling of drug-abuse standards in sports which goes beyond the knee-jerk reaction to the Ben Johnson tragedy at Seoul in the 1988 Olympics.This month’s federal inquiry into the misuse of drugs in amateur sports, headed by Justice Charles Dubin, is well-guided but falls short of the mark in one respect: it’s too narrow in Open letter to Mme Monique Gagnon- Tremblay, MNA 935 King est, Sherbrooke Dear Madame Gagnon-Tremblay: 1 wish to express appreciation on behalf of the coalition CHUS (Continue Hydro and not Uranium for our Safety) and of the vast majority (I’m sure) of the population of the Townships for the stand which you recently took with regard to the proposed nuclear reactor at the Sherbrooke University Hospital.I am sure your unequivocal position played an important rnlf* in the change of mind of the hospi- tal’s board of directors.It was gratifying to see other Québec politicians speak out clearly against this totally unwarranted nuclear menace.This was in striking contrast to federal po liticians, who chose to ignore or reject our appeals, to refuse to answer crucial questions, or simply to hide behind future public hearings.There was certainly no justification for the major expenses and ongoing energy output for both opponents and proponents which preparation for a public hearing would have entailed, nor for the continuing stress on the concerned majority of the population.Thank goodness that the hospital board had the good sense to respond to public and internal (worker» pressure.and to reconsider this badly conceived project.It appeared clear that AECL had no intention of backing down, in spite of earlier promises to respect workers’ or public opinion Once again, the federal government is in a conflict of interest situation, actively promoting nuclear energy, while also holding the responsibility for safp'T'mrdin?our health and envi- ronment.Unfortunately, we cannot relax too long after this victory, because there are so many other nuclear threats around us.Thank you again.Madame Minister, for your help in putting out this brush-fire.Matches can be lethal in the wrong hands; we hope we can call on you again in our longer term efforts to protect the greater forest.Sincerely, MICHAEL GRAYSON member, Coalition CHUS c.c.The Record scope.What Canada needs is a more thorough investigation into the prevalence not only of performance-enhancing drugs, but also of so-called ‘recreational’ ones.Further, this undertaking should address not strictly amateur sports but also professional ones, if anyone can still distinguish between the two.Universal, random drug-testing for all sports is needed in a controlled manner.In retrospect, the Dubin inquiry would not have been created had Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson given clean urine samples following his earth-shattering 9.79-second mark in the Olympic 100-metre event.This begs the question: why did one man have to shoulder the responsibility for an entire nation’s naive assumptions that amateur athletes are beyond human weakness and unaffected by the pressures that be?The sad truth is that many of us were nothing more than fair-weather fans.Not really fans of track and field but rather fans obsessed with winning, having a perceived affinity with a Canadian who was the entire world's ‘No.1’ in something.In all too many cases, it was patriotism gone awry.When, appallingly, Johnson was defoliated of his Olympic victory laurel, we suddenly tried to distance ourselves from the man.The Canadian sprinter was increasingly referred to as the Jamaican-born Johnson.Suddenly the runner’s highway escapades with the Ontario Provincial Police seemed to become nightly fare.So much for glory.Johnson will give his story when he addresses the Dubin Inquiry after Feb.20.Hopefully he will reveal some of the more shrouded goings-on in Canadian amateur sports, particularly track and field.Maybe he will estimate the extent of steroid use in his sport, along with any other drug abuses, including alcohol, which may exist.ineit is more at stake in the Dubin inquiry man just drug abuse, the chemical monster ha& senuus ramifications for how we look upon ourselves both as individuals and as a society.Drugs or blood-doping to enhance an athlete’s performance is a cardinal sin.By testing all athletes all the time, the authorities can get the message across that this kind of cheating is unacceptable and immoral.The rules as set down by bodies such as the International Olympic Committee must be unequivocal and the punishments severe.Ironically, the Olympic spirit of ‘higher, faster, stronger’ should not be so difficult to interpret.Such an ideal is in the context of that which is natural to the human body, not foreign like drugs or excess blood levels.Why should we be surprised when athletes do take drugs to better their results?Both amateur and professional alike are elevated to the status of semi-gods and engorged with megabuck endorsements because their influence is considerable.Sports will always be corrupt if we as a society let it be.The Canadian government should immediately follow the Dubin Inquiry with a more comprehensive examination of drug abuse in all sports in Canada.There can be no more double standards of testing ‘amateur’ athletes and letting pros inject themselves full of body-altering steroids, hormones and other goodies.The Olympic Games, tragically, were drug-infested long before Ben Johnson broke the 109 metre tape at Seoul and, with it, his own spirit.East-bloc countries have excelled for years in producing hormone-laced athletes that pass for women, the likes of Czechoslovakian runner Jarmila Kratochvilova.The demise of many young people in Canadian society through the use of drugs like crack is a broad sign of what’s quickly happening in sports.If we want to stop that abysmal slide we must fight drug use now.The warnings are there; all we have to do is care.JOHN

seventh.Totally unacceptable in a civilized country Dear sirs: Regarding the Desnoyers affair, a couple of points which I haven’t seen mentioned: When an apartment dweller is asked to leave, the landlord must give him notice before the end of March if he wishes him to leave the first of July, it seems to me that a farmer who has machinery and animals should be given the same rights.If Abercorn had done this (presuming that they had the right to evict him at all) he would have been able to put his animals out to pasture and find feed and shelter foi them before winter.I understand that Desnoyers was given two oi three notices to clean up his place, then they moved in and bulldozed away his place and belongings without further notice, and in his absence.To destroy anyone’s buildings and produce in the late summer or fall is unthinkable and the town should be sued for the full value of the stuff they destroyed.While Desnoyers’ buildings and machinery may have been old and not of great value, he will now have to replace it with new machinery at enormous prices.This fact should be taken into consideration in making any claim for settlement, also the cost of the hay which he must haul to feed his animals, very scarce and expensive this year.There is also the loss of value in his animals which may barely survive this very cold winter.Since I have never been to Abercorn, nor do I know Mr.Desnoyers, I can not go into whether or not the town can claim his land or any other details of the case, but the way they have gone about evicting him is totally unacceptable in a civilized country, and they should be made to pay in full for their act of — vandalism.If the only problem was his messy place, they didn’t have to wipe it out in order to clean it up.It is possible that Desnoyers didn’t have time to clean up his place this summer, it is hard to do much in the rain.When the sun shone he was probably making hay for the cattle which are now freezing.D M.CLOUSTON St.Pierre de Broughton TflePEDOEO OFF NEWFOUNDLAND.mm ( râCKFOïV Neighborly attitude Sir: The recent editorial by Charles Bu ry on Québec’s language law, and its effect on the citizens, is about the best I’ve seen.It urged adoption of an open and more neighbourly attitude to French-Canadians and their concerns.Sure, we’ve all seen and heard things to raise our Townshippers hackles, but this is life anywhere Speaking for myself, and Heaven knows, I do plenty of that, I bristle at the notion of any restraints on my self expression.To many of us, those politicians who say that the English-language community is “permitted” to have institutions like McGill and Bishop’s Universities, for example, we find particularly offensive.We all know who founded and financed these and other English-language institutions.Ms.Carmen Juneau, as one of the offenders in a recent letter to La Tribune, had better know that we know.To return to Mr.Bury's theme: a few days ago, some members of the community met to thrash out a pro blem of some duration.One half of the meeting had never met the other half There was some tension.An English speaking member of the host group said, “I’d like to speak some En glish.” Whereupon a young lady of the French speaking group spoke up perkily, “Oh, you’ic indoor a it’s al lowed.” The meeting was delayed, due to prolongaieu hilarity on all sides.Best regards; MARY CAMPBELL Rock Forest What other nuclear t(h)reats are being planned?Commentar Here is an open letter to Sherbrooke MNA Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, expressing widespread appreciation for the helping hand she gave to stopping the CHUS from going ahead with their nuclear reactor project.We were glad that several influential provincial politicians did come out against this project, in contrast to a total lack of response to our appeals at the federal level.The timely decision of the CHUS' directors came as a super Christmas present, and allowed us extrapeace of mind during the holiday period.However, we must now put this victory into proper perspective: this was just one skirmish in a nation-wide campaign against nuclear irresponsibility.1 would like to elaborate on other nuclear issues over which we must maintain vigilance this year, and in the decade ahead.1.With unlimited promotion funds available.AECL will be busy looking for new partners with whom to test their prototype reactors, Slowpoke or others.We must remain available to give any support we can to other communities on which AECL sets its sights 2.AECL is continuing a major campaign for food irradiation, regardless of growing public demand for purer food One of their main tactics in Canada has been to create a salmonella scare, even though Agriculture Canada says there are much better ways of reducing salmonella contamination in poultry than by irradiation.A closer scrutiny and major overhaul of our meat raising methods would be far more protective of our health.The strength of AECL’s lobby in Ottawa is evident from the Minister of Health's outright dismissal of the recommendations for prudence which an all party parliamentary committee put forward in 1987 on the subject of food irradiation.Canadians have a right to demand further consultation before the government approves any new uses of food irradiation.Together with pure air and water, access to healthily-grown food without additives or other tampering should surely be a fundamental right.The government is definitely in conflict of interest situation when it promotes a method of food treatment, while simultaneously enjoying the power to approve and regulate its use, and to inspect its application.On the one hand.Ottawa justifies new laws easing the way toward food irradiation, by claiming international scientific concensus On the other hand.European countries such as Britain, West Germany and Scanda-navian countries are maintaining their bans on this treatment due to conflicting international data.Interestingly.one of AECL’s main research stations is located in the Manitoba riding of Mr.Jake Epp, Minister of Health.In this issue, consumers' best weapon is to threaten boycott : food chains will not want to risk confrontations, considering they have little to gain from offering irradiated foods.3.What other t(h»reats is the nuclear establishment planning for Canadians?With vast, sparsely populated territories, and deep granite formations, northern regions of Québec, Ontario and Manitoba have all been listed by the nuclear industry as potential disposal areas for high-leverl nuclear waste.Underground trials in Manitoba are being funded by Japan and the U S.Both countries wuld obviously love to send us their highly toxic wastes, which are becoming harder and harder for them to contain within their own borders.Tens of thousands of Americans are being ex posed to nuclear hazards resulting from military production.Canadians have already come out strongly against U.S.nuclear dumps close to the frontier, and more recently against the importation of U.S.(non nuclear) wastes We must remain vigilant with regard to AECL's under ground testing, and the subsequent creation of national or international dump sites.Part of AECL's sales pitch when selling reactors or irradia tors overseas, is that they will remove nuclear wastes, to store where?4.Over and above all these national issues, comes the question of AECL’s international marketing strategies.These are aimed at countries where controls are lax or non-existent, where waste may simply be dumped somewhere out in the jungle, and where our overseas aid programs often pick up the tab.Obviously, by blocking prototypes and demonstrator models here, we are hindering AECL’s international sales pitch.But they do still manage, using foreign aid funds, to offer deals too good to refuse.Last year’s sale of irradiation equipment to Thailand is a perfect example What’s more, AECL and CI-DA (Canadian International Development Agency) officials promised the Thai government that we would import their irradiated foodstuffs.This was BEFORE any new laws had been passed here to permit any such importation.and they still have not been — and if passed, these laws will probably require some testing of each irradiated foodstuff before final approval.5.The ongoing operation of the Gen-tily 2 nuclear power station, opposite Trois Rivieres, should also be carefully evaluated.Various questions have been raised as to its safety.The deteriorating state of a dam on the st.Maurice River has been a recent cause for concern.If a breach ever develops in this poorly maintained 60-year-old dam, a tidal wave would cross the St.Lawrence and flood Gen-tilly 2 which is opposite the mouth of the St.Maurice The consequences could be disastrous.As long as it operates, Gentilly 2 is accumulating high-level radioactive wastes The discharge of cooling water has a continuous impact on aquatic life in the St.Lawrence.In any case.Gentilly 2 is not cost-effective.The costs of its power production far outrun those of hydroelectric power 6 Last of all, we come to a question of national defence: nuclear submarines.Just as international tensions are easing.Ottawa plans to raise our level of militarisation, and to use uranium for milil ary purposes.What possible purpose could submarines serve, nuclear or otherwise, armed or unarmed?We might as well send rowboats out to patrol our shores.The consequences of a nuclear accident at sea or in port could be horrendous.Melt-downs can happen, and collisions do happen with unfortunate frequency.Other risks of environmental contamination will be ever-present, not to mention the thorny problem of wastes.This issue demands a far wider public debate.Québec's industry hopes to get an important slice of Ottawa's submarine expenditures.However, we must not be sucked in by promises of jobs and economy boosters.Instead of continuing to war with imaginary adversaries, let’s frontally attack pollution and poverty.We can certainly put billions of dollars to infinitely better use, at the same time creating longer-term jobs and infinitely more job satisfaction.One encouraging lesson to be learned from recent victories against the importation of U.S.wastes and the CHUS reactor is that when citizens take the time to band together and express themselves forcefully, they can change political or administrative decisions.Unfortunately, it is much easier to confront local problems and elicit response from regional government, than to tackle national issues.Therefore our energy input will have to be greater if we really want to affect the outcome of questions such as food irradiation or nuclear submarines.But there is another encouraging factor: we are never alone in our feelings of protest or shock.If we don’t stand up, we can’t be counted.When we do speak out, we find many other like-minded citizens in every community.Modern communication tools make it far ea sier for groups across the country to network on national issues.The notion that government will protect our interests lulls many people into complacency In reality, bureaucra cy is incredibly slow-moving, and very few politicians look further ahead than the next election.We.the citizens.must take responsibility for the longer-term health and safety of our country and planet.MICHAEL GRAYSON Engineer Member, Coalition CHUS « The RECORD—Wednesday.January 25.1989—5 Education —____gpj record BCS students spend one term in Europe Red Cross rolling onto campus Monday

It worked in real life.” It's also encouraging to have a program that recognizes so positively the skills of regular, well-rounded happy kids, Chataway says.Riverview.with 16 teachers and 306 pupils from kindergarten to Grade 5, is one of 15 schools in Canada and the United States trying the program this school year.Quest International, a non-profit educational organization known for adolescent programs used in more than 8,000 intermediate schools in several countries, put the program together.CHANGE LIFESTYLE “We re looking at living a lifestyle that doesn’t involve going to the medicine cabinet or other drugs to solve problems," says Riverview principal Jim Ferguson.The skills may be learned incidentally in well-run classrooms, but this program involves the whole school, parents and the community."We can already see some changes,” he says, adding that "it's hard work for children Russ Psooy, guitarist, singer and songwriter with the group The Johns, said he wants the security of a university degree should his band be one of the thousands that disappear in the tough music world."Music is a million to-one shot." said the fourth-year sociology student at the University of Manitoba "It s a tough, tough business and 1 don't want to narrow my scope so much that, after the band.I look back and say Well, I gave it a shot, sure, but now what am 1 going to do?’" There is a well-established tradition of musicians putting bands together at college or university, English group Queen was probably rock's most-educated band with members boasting PhD's in astronomy and biology, plus degrees in electronics, illustration and design.Keith Richards, the late John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Chris-sie Hyndc all gravitated to music without a lot of verbal skills to work things out through talking.” Prevention only works if it involves the school, home, community and the children’s peers, says Linda Millar, special assignment teacher for the Carleton Board of Education.She is a teacher-trainer for the Quest program."It has revitalized teachers.They love the program because it’s fun and it works.If it spreads to other schools, it will save millions of dollars and many, many lives.” All students take weekly lessons on topics such as friendship and working co-operatively.Children like the idea of giving friendship awards to friends for good deeds and children are assigned in group discussions to give other participants praise.The ogram also prescribes school-wide activities to foster a sense of community.The neighborhood post office was treated to Christmas decorations from Riverview students.A committee of students, teachers, parents and community members is the catalyst for group activities.“It’s a good idea and it should spread everywhere," says committee member Uttra Bharga-va, whose son Sid is in Grade 5.rock stars from their art studies.Marc Cauthers.bassist with Hoover Effect and a fine arts student in his third year at the University of Manitoba, said it’s no surprise musicians are drawn to arts courses.“Music is an abstract, creative medium, as is painting," said Cauthers, 20, who majors in painting.“If you're in one.it’s only natural you'll be drawm to the other.'’ Playing bars that stay open until 2 am.then trying to make an 8 a.m.class, takes dedication and some ingenuity.Feisal Gazie, 26, a masters student in city planning, remembers working on a preliminary subdivision design project with a study group between sets when his band was playing in a local bar “We went upstairs to the restaurant.put some tables together for our drawing boards, and worked away," said Gazie, who maintains a 3.75 grade point average University students turn Men/ We'd like to give you a good belt!

Rev.Ron Nickle, now on a charge in Toronto; Rev.R.D.Markle, then of Ayer’s Cliff; Mrs.Jean St.Jacques; and Mrs.Polly Parker of Magog.Pinecroft is not a nursing home but a residence intended to accommodate the elderly who no longer want the full responsibility of managing their own homes.There are stiil units available which may have seen upon request by calling 847-0849 for an appointment.Te- AIDS victim living with time bomb Dear Ann Landers: 1 am a 34- year-old male.1 tested positive for the HIV virus in November of 1985.These past three years, I have remained in fairly good health, due to exercise, proper nutrition and regular sleeping habits.I neither smoke nor drink.Recently my T cell count has declined, so I have started on a program of immuno-modulators.Although my physical condition is good, emotionally Fm a wreck.The long-term effects of living with this disease are indescribable.Some days my hands shake so bad.I’m sure some of my co-workers think I’m having withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol.Every cough, sneeze, ache or pain has become a cause for panic.I feel as if I’m living with a time bomb, never knowing when it will go off.This is my third year of celibacy.My heart cries out for closeness, but I don’t dare take the chance of infecting anyone.Total abstinence is a must for me.Three good friends have experienced terrible deaths from this disease this past year.My best friend is now dying.AIDS lias taken over my entire existence.I dream about it almost every night.All my spare time goes into volunteer work with the AIDS support group Helping others in pain and sorrow has saved me from going to pieces.I'm horrified when 1 hear of the irresponsible sexual conduct that is still rampant in many gay Ann Landers circles.These people must be insane.Don’t they realize that one reckless encounter can be a death sentence?If my letter can save just one person from this terrible sickness, my misery will not have been in vain.Thank you.Ann Landers, for the great service you provide.— F.R., Tallahassee, Fla.DearF.R.: It is you who has provided the service today and l thank you.Good luck and God bless.Dear Ann Landers: I was especially interested in the letter signed “Perplexed Parents in Kansas."

Many elderly denied right to pets By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press A fire alarm shatters the early morning quiet of a Toronto apartment building and tenants on the sixth floor scramble for dressing gowns — and their pets.It’s a typical no-pets-allowed building, but eight of 10 occupants are holding either a cat, a bird in a cage, or a dog on a leash.When it appears the alarm is false, the middle-aged and older tenants scurry back to their apartments, eager to hide their offending pets from the eyes of building superintendents.Much of Canada’s rental accom modation has a no-pet clause in leases and agreements, as William Short of Montreal discovered in 1987.Short, a retired RCMP constable, campaigned across Canada for people’s right to keep small pets in public housing.After gathering 50,000 signatures on a petition, Short was rewarded when Central Mortgage and Housing Corp.changed its policy to allow small pets in buildings it owns.However, privately owned buildings are exempt from such a policy.CAT ORDERED OUT Marian Ryll, 56, and her husband, Richard, who have lived in a Toronto apartment for the past three years, own a 16-year-old cat named Fluffy.Last year, the aging animal was ordered out of the Rylls’ apartment after a repairman discovered her in the no-pets building.“We've had Fluffy since she was a kitten,” said Marian, who is disabled after two hip operations.“We don't let her out and she’s very quiet and clean.” A growing number of doctors, psychologists and social workers say lonely, troubled, disabled and introverted people become happier and more communicative when they have a pet.In fact, “companion animals” are now being used in many therapeutic areas.While science can’t fully explain why pet therapy works, there are clues.“We have long known that the body’s immunity to disease is adversely affected by a loss of social contact,” said Aaron Katcher, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania who has studied the interaction of humans and animals.Katcher said his studies have shown that blood pressure, which normally rises when people speak to each other, remains the same or drops when people speak to their pets.HEADS CAMPAIGN Liz White, a spokesman for the Toronto Humane Society, is currently lobbying on behalf of Ontario tenants who want to keep a small animal in rental accommodation.She says the no-pet clause is discriminatory.especially against the elderly.“It's totally irrational,” White said in an interview.“On one hand, the Ontario government is encouraging (older) people to stay in their homes and to remain independent.“They also pay lip service to seniors' institutions, such as old-age homes and nursing homes, to accept pets for therapeutic reasons" — yet the government allows private landlords to ban pets.White said that ideally, “atenant could have a written agreement with a landlord in which permission is granted to have a pet so long as it is well taken care of.” PETS DESTROYED White said that last year, because of the no-pet clause in rental agreements, almost 10,000 small pets had to be destroyed in Ontario.“For many older people, their pets are also old — like Fluffy — and they have a great attachment to them,” White said.“It’s devastating when their only form of companionship is taken away.” Many superintendents turn a blind eye when they know there’s a cat snoozing in the corner of someone’s apartment.That had been the case with the Rylls.“We had a really nice superintendent and he knew about Fluffy but he didn’t say a word,” said Marian Ryll.“But the apartment building was sold recently and that superintendent left, so things have changed.” Her case is being championed in the Ontario legislature by the New Democratic Party.And although the NDP has been pushing to have the no-pet clause removed from leases, the Liberal government says the clause is designed to protect all tenants, including those with health problems who can’t tolerate pets.But for the Rylls the issue is clear: “I can’t imagine living without Fluffy.I’d rather move than give her up.” Judy Creighton welcomes letters to the Canadian Press, 36 King St.E., Toronto, Ont.M5C 2L9, but cannot promise to answer all correspondence personally.Sid Stevens is Duddy Kravitz’ other MONTREAL (CP) — If Duddy Kravitz had a heart he’d be Sid Stevens.Duddy, one of the most-famous characters ever created by novelist Mordecai Richler, was the ultimate hustler in the Montreal district known as The Main.He'd do anything to make a buck and eventually ended up rich and unhappy in Toronto, or so Richler would have us believe.Sid Stevens could be considered Duddy Kravitz’ alter ego.Born 48 years ago as Sid Stavitsky — the son of a poor Jewish tailor — in the same tough neigbourhood as Mordecai Richler, Stevens has also spent his life hustling for dough.Only that money has not gone to make him rich; it has gone toward helping anyone and everyone who has ever come to him for help.“I saw a lot of misery when I was growing up," says Stevens.“Not as far as myself was concerned — my family was poor, but we were never out on the street.Yet, there was a lot of poverty around us and people were being victimized all the time." Today, Sid Stevens literally spends all his waking hours running the Sun Youth Organization which he founded in the late 1960s.He has built his brainchild into a >1.4 million charitable foundation that is renowneu m Montreal as the place to go when you need help quickly and you can’t handle the red tape of conventional social service agencies.DEAL WITH PROBLEMS “Someone comes in with a problem, we deal with it here," says Stevens, “You don't hang a person up by making him to fill out forms that ask what language he speaks, how he votes or what religion he is.You help him with his problem.” The kind of problems Stevens deals with include people needing food, elderly men an/ women who are abused, residents put out of their homes during a fire, Tamil refugees with no place to live, Mexican sailors trapped on a ship in Montreal harbor, Christmas baskets, seniors’ drop-in centres, children's libraries, gyms and on and on.Sun Youth employs 25 people full-time and 175 more as volunteers.The pay scale is far below the average for social workers in Montreal and.although he drives his slaff as hard as he drives himself, most of Stevens’s people seem to genuinely believe in what they are doing."There’s no overtime here,” says Tommy Kulczyk.“You don’t tell a lady who’s crying that it's closing time and she has to come back tomorrow.You take care of it now.” SaysMannie Peres: “If it’s your case, it’s your case.You’ve got to see it through to the end." MARRIED TO JOB Stevens still lives with his 80-year-old parents and admits quite frankly that he is “married to Sun Youth." Above and beyond the 12-to 16-hour days he spends at the organization's headquarters in the old Baron Byng High School (also immortalized by novelist Richler), he spends the rest of his free time raising money.He has become a legend for his sales pitches to corporate donors, swanky hotels from whom he wants free rooms to house homeless people, and naturally the media.Stevens admits he beats the media like a big drum because "people give us money and they want to know what’s happening to it.We’re making news because we’re out there helping people.” This notoriety upsets some other, less-promotional, charitable organizations in Montreal, but Stevens couldn’t care less that he Is sometimes described as a me dia tout."I’m happy when I go to bed at night." he says.“1 know that most of the people I’ve helped are already in bed.but I know that they went to bed with a full stomach." 'rial llm« at •yi'ig .enslt 0 The RKCOKIV- Wednesday, January 25.1989—7 Farm and Business #1 - uecara •We're at a psychological limit now' Mortgage rates expected to hit unlucky ‘13’ By Marilyn Ronald OTTAWA (CP) — Mortgage rates could climb as high as 13 per cent by summer and that could create jitters among first-time home-buyers and people facing mortgage renewals, says the Royal Bank of Canada’s manager of mortgage services.“We re at a psychological limit now.” Peter Morrison said Tuesday."If mortgage rates hit 13 per cent, it will scare a lot of people."Anybody who is going out shopping for a new home now may not even be able to get into the market.” John Clinkard, a senior economist with the Imperial Bank of Commerce, agrees that rates are headed toward 13 per cent and says that’s the point where consumer resistance sets in.Those at the greatest risk, Morrison added, are people who took out a mortgage and assumed that when it came up for renewal, their income would have increased enough to cover higher costs or that some other financial factor would give them a cushion."If that salary increase or cushion hasn't materialized, they are going to be facing problems." Last w'eek.the Commerce boosted its short-term mortgage rates by a quarter of a percentage point.Rates for six-month open mortgages and for one- and two-year terms rose to 12.25 per cent.Mortgages for three, four and five years remained at 12.25 per cent and a one-year open mortgage at 12.50 per cent.And the Bank of Nova Scotia raised its rate for one-year mortgages by a quarter of a percentage point to 12.25 per cent.Morrison said the Royal thinks rates for longer-term mortgages have stabilized and won’t see sharp increases in the next five months.Short-term rates will escalate but begin to fall sometime next winter."A year from now, we could be back down under 12 per cent for short-term mortgages.” HIGH DEMAND Short-term rates are being driven up, he explained, simply by high consumer demand for mor- tgage money.Both men said mortgage business was strong in November and December.Across Canadian financial institutions, mortgage business was 34 per cent higher during those months — at $1.1 billion — compared to the same period a year earlier.Clinkard thinks the higher rates may slow demand for housing in the first half of the year.People thinking about buying their first home, he said."have to ask themselves whether they expect home prices to moderate, and I think most people do." He said home-buyers and sellers recognize that the housing market in many parts of the country won’t be as strong as it was.That, combined with expectations of generally slower economic growth, could take some of the upward pressure off mortgage rates later in the year."If you can hold your breath long enough, you’ll carry through." Dana Boyko, a senior economist W'ith Royal Trust, said one of the positive influences is that the fun- ding sources for mortgages have improved since last October’s stock market crash."There has been stronger interest in.for example, guaranteed investment certificates as people moved their money out of the equi ty market That’s a source of mortgage money and we expect the trend to continue throughout this year.” Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.reported Tuesday that the residential mortgage market grew last year by about 18 per cent to $141 billion as of the end of October.This year, the federal agency said, major lenders could record lower growth of 15 per cent to 17 per cent in residential mortgages.Housing resales are forecast to drop slightly to 281,307 units and housing starts will likely reach 191,425 units, down from an estimated 206.925 last year."Although housing and mortgage activity is projected to decelerate in 1989.these markets are still buoyant relative to the early 1980s," it said.No clear evidence that mergers mean less competition or higher prices Corporate ownership debate reopens after buyouts By Michael Bernard VANCOUVER (CP) - The recent rash of mergers in Canadian business poses real dangers to the balance of power between business and government, says a University of British Columbia economist.Unless changes are made in federal competition legislation, there is nothing consumers, the media and politicians can do to slow it down, William Stanbury said Monday.Stanbury.a professor of regulation and competition policy at the university’s faculty of commerce, was commenting on three proposed mergers announced last week.The mergers are the Canadian Airlines International takeover of Wardair, the joining of Molson and Carling O’Keefe Breweries and the acquisition of Texaco by Imperial Oil.Not everyone shares Stanbury’s view.Espen Eckbo, another merger specialist in the same faculty, said the merger mania will be positive in the long run for Canadians.That’s because bigger and stron- ger companies can more efficiently use resources and exploit economies of scale, Eckbo said.There is no clear evidence to show that mergers mean less competition or higher prices for consumers, he added.POWER "I’m concerned about the political relationship between the increasing aggregate concentration and political power in government,” Stanbury said.“As merger corporations grow in size relative to the economy, they become more important politically and the interdependence between business and government becomes greater."The balance of power moves more in favor of business and away from government.” Stanbury has been tracking corporate mergers in Canada since the early 1970s.He has also acted as a consultant to the federal Bureau of Competition and was an editor of the recently released book: Mergers, Corporate Concentration and Power in Canada.Rather than fighting over the ba- lance of power, government and business end up going down the same road, he said "The politicians’ desire for growth, investment and jobs is so great and the corporations are the ones the can deliver that," Stanbu ry said.“When you have 100 corporate leaders that have half the assets .they can say: ‘We don’t quite like your tax policy, (Finance Minister Michael) Wilson.I don’t think we are prepared to put in new capital investment for the next few years unless you see it our way.’" Stanbury said he is also worried about the process of reviewing mergers, and the lack of publicity surrounding them.Of 2,625 mergers noted by the federal Bureau of Competition between June 1986 and December 1988, only 342 were reviewed.Of those only three went to the competition tribunal.REVEAL ALL Government should be release the facts of the mergers along with copies of the agreements between firms, he said, so the public and the media can see what’s going on.But Eckbo, who has studied more than 100 major mergers in the U.S., says the consumer benefits in the long run.“Merger activity is clearly geared at making the operation more efficient,” he said.“And most consumers will say sure we want lower prices." Tracking consumer prices is difficult because of inflation and other factors, but Eckbo said he has studied the stock prices of companies in competition with firms that have merged.If collusion or price-fixing were common, he said, the price of competing companies would rise as investors moved to take advantage of what they saw as new market power for the remaining companies in a particular industry But in many cases, stock prices of rival firms dropped.“The fact the merger firms benefit and their rivals lose from the merger announcement is inconsistent with the collusion theories,” he said.worry consumer minister Oil, air and OTTAWA (CP) - A parliamentary committee should examine a recent spate of mergers and the issue of corporate concentration, says Harvie Andre, the consumer and corporate affairs minister.Speaking with an Ottawa television station Monday, Andre said he shares people's concerns about the effects of three mergers last week in the oil, airline and beer industries.“Certainly I think it might be useful for a parliamentary committee to look at corporate concentration,” he said in an interview with CJOH.“I think we all have a sense of unease about these mergers__I would encourage Parliament to take a look at it.” Earlier Monday, NDP House beer buyouts leader Nelson Riis had called for Parliament to sit immediately to deal with mergers.Andre was not asked about an early session and did not mention it as a possibility.Mergers became a hot political topic last week after Molson breweries merged with Carling O’Keefe on Wednesday, Canadian Airlines International bought out Wardair on Thursday and Imperial Oil acquired Texaco Canada on Friday.All the transactions must be approved by the federal government, and Calvin Goldman, head of the Bureau of Competition Policy, has announced the federal competition watchdog will investigate all three.A REAL CRISIS “We’ve got a real crisis .on our hands,” Riis said at a news conference Monday.Riis said thousands of people stand to lose jobs as a result of the takeovers and partnerships announced last week and consumers could face higher prices.He said Parliament should sit as soon as possible rather than the scheduled date of March 6.Andre said MPs should address unanswered questions, such as who, if anybody, could be hurt by the mergers or how would they be hurt.For instance, he said the mergers could conceivably save jobs if the larger companies can compete more effectively in an increasingly competitive marketplace.He also saidn since the Compe- tition Act was amended in 1986, the bureau has altered nine mergers or takeovers and stopped seven.In the Imperial-Texaco takeover in particular, Andre said the competition bureau, before the deal’s approved, must be assured there will be no ill-effects on the refining and marketing operations.But Riis called the act as it now stands abysmal and said he wants the rules toughened to better protect consumers and affected workers.He also said existing rules require the competition watchdog to take a “friendly poodle” approach, not always in the best interest of Canadians.Fraud-artist lawyer Parisien told to repay duped investors OTTAWA (CP) — Investors who lost more than $1.1 million to fraud artist Yves Parisien during the 1970s will be repaid at a rate of $400 a month, split 26 ways, a judge has ordered.The restitution order was part of the sentence handed down Monday by provincial court Judge Robert Hutton against the 53-year-old Parisien, a former Ottawa lawyer.Hutton agreed to all the recommendations presented jointly by Crown attorney Andrejs Berzins and defence lawyer Leonard Shore Parisien, who pleaded guilty to 44 fraud and theft charges that date back more than a decade, was also placed on probation for three years and ordered to complete 300 hours of community service work.The investors included 25 people who lost $1 million in phony mortgages and the former Caisse Populaire Laurier, which lost $163.000 in a mortgage scam For the next three years.Parisien will pay the court $400 a month That money will be divided among the 26 victims based on the proportion of their loss Victims lost between $6,000 and $163.000 One 77 year old victim at the trial, who asked not to be named, said he would receive about $20 a month in repayment and it would take about 150 years to regain the $40.000 he lost.Berzins explained after the sentencing that the compensation order will allow the victims after the three years to have a legal claim against any assets Parisien accumulates.Parisien has already spent a total of 30 months in Brazilian and Canadian jails between 1978 and 1981, the equivalent of a seven-year jail term, Berzins said.Parisien, who was disbarred in 1971, fled the county in May 1978, after emptying his bank’s accounts of almost $400,000, He was arrested in Brazil in 1978 and spent the next 18 months in a Brazilian jail before being extradited to Canada, where all but five charges against him were drop ped He pleaded guilty to the five charges In May 1982, when his parole expired, the other charges were re-laid.Parisien fought the relaying of the charges until the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against him last May.When a Kidney Foundation Canvasser calls, please give generously.THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA JA NUA RY JA NUA RY JA NUA RY SALE AT().N.Boitait £

REDUCTION I AT ïV Y STARTING AT O UP REDUCTION JA NUA RY JA NUA RY JA NUA RY Advantages, drawbacks of a U.S.bank account By Susan Yellin The Canadian Press Like most people, Linda Becker knows the value of a dol lar — especially when it comes to the unequal value of the Canadian dollar and the U.S.green back.But unlike most.Becker, who is in charge of the banking for her husband and two children, has a U.S.-dollar account at her Toron-to-area bank The Beckers don't have a busi ness south of the border, or pay maintenance fees on a comfor table condominium in warmer U.S.climes.But having the account makes life easier and less expensive on the whole family, especially since the four do most of their tra veiling in the United States “I'm married to an Ameri can," explains Becker, 38."His relatives live in the States and every time there's a birthday or Christmas or some sort of holiday or celebration they send us cho ques.” For her to cash the cheques, change the money into Canadian funds and then later change it back to U.S.funds would mea ning losing money.WATCH THE RATE Many people keep a careful eye on the exchange rate, and when it's financially beneficial, change their Canadian money into U.S dollars.The cash is set aside for a trip to the States or other coun tries where the American dollar is more readily accepted."When it’s a good rate we buy the American money and put it in the account and then we’ve got the money when we go away," says one U.S.account holder.“We take out as much as we want, and if wc have anything left over we put it back " Banks recommend the U.S.dollar accounts for frequent travellers, Canadians living in the States part time, or those who have pensions or annuities coming from the United States.Those groups of people could end up on the losing end by ex changing currency from Ameri can to Canadian and back to U S.dollars again, they say.THE MINUS SIDE U.S.-dollar accounts do have their drawbacks.Writing cheques on the account or cashing an incoming U.S.cheque will mean higher than usual bank fees, says Douglas Peters, chief economist with the Toronto-Dominion Bank “If you're handling a special kind of account where there are not the economies of scale that you have in handling the hun MONEY « MONITOR 'SSIKi I dreds of thousands of premium savings accounts or chequing accounts you have here, you're ban dling it a little differently and it costs a little more to do that.” Peters suggests that anyone with a U.S.-dollar account should treat it much the same as he would any other account.For example, keep the minimum required balance so some of those extra fees won't be charged.It may also take longer to get a cheque cleared through the recipient's bank in the United States, says Dan Maeelueh of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.TAKE OUT CASH "Some U.S.banks don't have clearing arrangements with some Canadian banks,” Mace Inch says.For faster clearing through the United States, bank officials advise taking the cash out of the U.S dollar account and buying a money order.Like some Canadian dollar accounts, interest may be paid depending on the amount in the passbook.But the U.S.money or any other foreign currency is not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corp., which insures banking customers of Canadian accounts up to $60,000.PLAY MARKET?The account can also be used as a form of investment, says Sherry Atkinson Cooper, chief economist with Burns Fry."If you’re bullish on the U.S.dollar you believe the U.S.dollar is going to rise relative to the Canadian dollar you would w ant to park your money in U.S.dollars,” Cooper says.“Canadians are famous for speculating against the currency.Most of the outflow of funds from Canada in the years when the dollar was falling were Canadians disinvesting, not foreigners.” For people like Becker, the account means never having to worry about the exchange rate."If my mother in-law sent mea cheque for $100, I actually get $100 American without having to pay any fee.” CORRECTION The advertisement published in yesterday's Record for Centre du Tapis Couture should have read: “More than $1,000,000.00 of inventory offered at
