Golf glitch on French in Victoria VICTORIA (CP) - Demanding French on the fairways and a translator by the tees on a proposed new golf course was just a bureaucratic error, the federal government says.Officials from the Transport Department have backed down from a demand that a golf course on federal land be fully bilingual.“The laugh is on us,” spokesman Bill Almolky said Wednesday.“It’s a glitch.” But a group wishing to lease land around Victoria’s airport to build a golf course didn’t see the humor when it discovered the government wanted to carry official bilingualism on to the putting greens.“We thought it was kind of bizarre,” said Owen Philp, a director of the group seeking to develop the golf course.“It sort of hit us right between the eyes.“We’ve decided we don’t want any part of it.” In tender documents released in January, the government stipulated leaseholders must adhere to its policy of official bilingualism, so all the golf course’s signs, score-cards, sales slips, instructions and brochures would have to be printed in French and English.TRANSLATOR NEEDED The kicker, though, was that a translator would have to be available within 10 minutes notice whenever people were playing the course, said Philp.He said he never found out how far the government expected the golf course to take bilingualism — whether it would stop with turning a scorecard into a “carte de pointage” or go as far as getting a translator to interpret "fore” into “gare devant” for a novice francophone golfer.“The whole thing is impractical,” said Philp.“It’s very expensive to duplicate everything in French and it’s really not required here.There’s just not that many people who speak the language.“We asked the feds to change their minds but we were told it was non-negotiable.” Questions over the last few days about the Lease, however, brought about a change of heart and an admission from Transport Canada officials that it was all a mistake.Almolky said the government’s general leasing agreements apply the Official Languages Act to federal airport lands to ensure services are offered in both French and English to the travelling public.Clauses demanding a translator and signs in both languages should have been deleted, he said.V \ * < Jf t * * * * -£¦ DAVItl MAMtt* RNOWl TUN ACAUfcMY 1 ^ Weather, page 2 A Sherbrooke Thursday, March 2,1989 40 cents ‘Hydro-Quebec to put more pressure on clients to pay’ Can’t pay your Hydro-Quebec bill?Get a flashlight MONTREAL (CP) — Consumer groups are urging Hydro-Quebec to rethink a new policy on collecting overdue bills which includes cutting back electrical power.The provincially-owned utility plans to introduce a device next year that will allow it to cut power by 80 per cent to households that refuse to pay their bills.Now, where cases warrant, the company cuts power completely.It also will begin asking for more personal information — such as birth date and socisl insurance number—from new customers before hooking them up, a Hydro official said Wednesday.But two consumer associations which sat on a committee to assist Hydro in drafting the new policy say the plan is still unfair to many poor people.“These are new measures that will allow Hydro-Quebec to put more pressure on clients to pay,” said Louise Rozon, spokesman for one of the groups.“It contradicts their supposed concern for people who have financial trouble." Rozon said a 1986 Hydro study showed that of the 20,000 families whose power is cut each year, nearly two-thirds can’t afford to pay their bills.Yves Lamarche, head of customer services at Hydro-Quebec, insists the utility should have the right to shut off power from nonpaying customers, regardless of their financial status.“It’s not the role of Hydro-Quebec (to make exceptions),” he said.“The redistribution of income is the responsibility of gover- ‘Nothing else but yams for supper?’ RBCORD/GRANT SIMEON Have you the story of ‘Keve Kiwi's Cake', or the one about 'Nothing else but

warned Wednesday the coveted federal space agency that went to Quebec instead of his province could become "a symbol of disunity” in Canada.He said the federal government has not given Ontario any assurances about space-related contracts.“There was no bone thrown to the doggie,” he told reporters in Toronto.“I think it could have been a symbol of unity in this country rather than a symbol of disunity which I think it will be.” Minister of state for science and technology Harvie André said the agency will not be a NASA-like operation.It will be an office to coordinate Canada’s efforts in domestic and international space programs, currently divided among several federal departments.Asked about Ontario Premier David Peterson’s complaint that Montreal was chosen for political reasons, André retorted: “Every decision a politician makes is a political decision.“Ontario hasn't done that badly,” said André to the applause of more than a dozen Montreal-area Conservative MPs.André said the agency will have about 352 employees, 209 of them in Montreal.Most of the staff already work for the federal government in Ottawa.The agency, which will create 50 to 60 new jobs, will direct expenditures of almost |3 billion to the end of the century, he said, with a mandate to spread the contracts throughout the country.“If you look at the concentration of aerospace industry in Montreal, its critical mass of expertise, its international accessibility, it’s an appropriate place for the headquarters to be,” said André.The decision favoring Montreal is also part of the Conservative government’s commitment to decen-trahzation, he said.David Johnston, principal of McGill University, said the choice of Montreal as the agency’s site shows the federal government believes the city ‘ ‘has the potential to bring together the talent” to make Canada a major player in the space industry.The agency’s most important aspect is “people contact,” said Johnston, who said he was reflecting the views of Montreal’s academic community, The agency will stimulate research into the "frontiers of the 21st century,” he added.“The best form of transfer of technology is a good pair of shoes,” Johnston said in Montreal, where the decision was announced by Harvie Andre, minister of state for science and technology.Johnston said: “Good things happen by people seeing each other.” The decision, after a couple of years of intense lobbying by Peterson and Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa, made the Quebec business community “heave a big sigh of relief," said Jean-Paul Letourneau, executive vice-president of the Quebec chamber of commerce.Peterson said he still believes the space agency should be located in the Ottawa-HuU area but he he isn’t blaming the federal government for its decision."it became such a highly political issue that the symbolism put the government almost in a lose-lose situtation as opposed to a potentially win-win situation," he said.“I’m not going to cry or whine,” hesaid.“I don’t blame Bourassa in any way but then these things go on and assume a symbolic importance that's way out of proportion to the substance.“I’m not going to get dragged into a fight with Quebec on this because that’s not the way 1 feel about it.” Johnston said Montreal's four universities and two technical institutions already have “a well-established relationship with the aerospace industry.” In Quebec City, Bourassa told reporters the choice of Montreal was not a slap against Ontario.“On grounds of merit, ! think Quebec was a better place then the other provinces.” Having a decision-making centre in Montreal will give Quebec industry more chance to get contracts, he added, but Quebec will still have to be vigilant to get its share.The federal government’s handling of the issue was criticized by Iris Gray, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada.She said 100 union members who work in space-related activities in Ottawa were given only an hour’s notice Wednesday that they may have to move to Montreal.“I find it disgusting,” Gray said in an interview in Ottawa.“Imagine the insensitivity of any government that would, without any consultation, hand you a letter, an hour ahead of the official announcement, and tell you about your possible relocation.” ‘He could decide either he wanted to participate at the highest levels in sport or not’ Francis advised Johnson to take steroids and he did, going back to 1981 By Stephen Thorne TORONTO (CP) — Ben Johnson knowingly began taking banned steroids eight years ago and has used them to win at least one Olympic medal, his coach told a federal inquiry sparked by Canada’s biggest sports scandal.Charlie Francis testified Wednesday he advised Johnson and others on his Toronto track team they would need the musclebuilding drugs to compete in a sporting world where fame and fortune are won with the aid of steroids and other banned substances.He said Johnson began taking steroids in 1981 and the drugs were later administered by his physician, Dr.Jamie Astaphan.Asked by commission counsel Robert Armstrong whether he saw Astaphan inject Johnson with steroids, Francis replied: “On occasion, yes.” Johnson, 27, has denied he knowingly took the steroids found in his urine sample after he won the 100-metre dash at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.Astaphan, who has promised to travel to Toronto from his home in the Caribbean to testf y at the inquiry, has denied he gave the drugs to Johnson.WON BRONZE Francis, 40, said Johnson took steroids during his training for the 1964 Los Angeles Olympics, where he won a bronze medal.The coach, who returns to the stand today, was not asked whether the sprinter was using drugs when he set his world record in August 1987 or when he won the gold medal that was taken away in Seoul.Francis, a former national sprint champion, sat calmly in the witness box as he unleashed revelation after revelation in testimony before inquiry head Mr.Justice Charles Dubin, the world press and a national TV audience.Those in the hearing room sat in stunned silence as he listed a Who's Who of athletes and a shopping bag of drugs they have used to run faster, throw farther and lift more weight.He identified at least a dozen Canadians who have taken banned substances.He suggested there were many, many more throughout the world — including American sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, the cover girl of the Seoul Olympics who announced her retirement last week.GOT DRUGS The coach alleged he first got drugs from Bishop Dolegiewicz, a former Canadian shot-put champion, and distributed them among his top athletes, including Johnson, Angella Issajonko and Desai Williams.None could be reached immediately for comment.Francis described how he took Johnson aside in the summer of 1981 and discussed drug use.He told his young pupil that steroids gave top sprinters about a metre's advantage in a 100-metre race."He could decide either he wanted to participate at the highest levels in sport or not,” said Francis.’ 'He could decide to set up his starting blocks on the same line as all the other competitors in international competition, or set them up a metre behind them.“Obviously, that would be an unacceptable situation for a top-level athlete.” Johnson, he said, eventually decided to start taking anabolic steroids after a doctor told him mild doses would not be harmful.CITES ASTAPHAN Beginning ir 1984, Francis said, Astaphan supplied drugs in the form of a “milky, white subs- tance” in a bottle with a label that read: “Do not take within 28 days of competition." Asked Dubin: “Those were the only instructions?” “Yes,” replied Francis, who spent about 3Vt hours on the stand during his second day of testimony.He replied affirmatively each time Armstrong asked whether Johnson was aware he was getting banned steroids.Francis said he, as a runner, got a prescription from a doctor and used steroids for three weeks before the 1973 national championa-hips.The drugs were not banned bv the IOC until 1975. 2—The RECORD—Thursday, March 2, 1989 The Townships f r^rrraSSI Kecora Wants to help CASA ‘together for tomorrow’ campaign Chrétien answers the belfafter Gaspé angles ask for help on language By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — Jean Chrétien has extended an offer of legal counsel and access to his many political contacts to the president of the Gaspé-based English lobby group, CASA, to help find a solution to Quebec’s current struggle with language.CASA president Weston White said the offer of assistance came during a telephone conversation with the former Liberal cabinet minister, also touted as most popular choice to succeed Liberal lea der John Turner.The organization enlisted the support of three key federalists known to be strong and vocal advocates of minority rights in Canada.“We wrote the former prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Marc Lalonde, and Jean Chrétien, asking them to speak out on behalf of Quebec’s English-speaking minority, following the passage of law 178,’’ White said in a phone interview.PHONE CALL White said Chrétien responded with a telephone call congratulating the group on its reasonable approach to the language question.“Chrétien said the law is the law and it must be respected.But he said we have five years to educate the French speaking population in Quebec, to the fact that English-speaking Quebecers are also interested in preserving Quebec’s french identity,” White recounted.The notwithstanding clause — which overrides individual rights guaranteed in the charter — must be formally extended or revoked after five years.The legal mechanism was invoked by the Quebec National Assembly in order to pass law 178, the law which permits posting of French-only signs outside commercial establishments and allows English and other languages on some indoor signs.THE MESSAGE White said Chrétien told him the message must get out “that we cannot improve one culture by depriving the other.” CASA has asked all three prominent federalists to come to the Gaspé peninsula to speak to the community.“But I heard that both Chrétien and Marc Lalonde charge between $3600 and $5000 to speak, so we wouldn’t have been able to afford them,” White said White said former Liberal finance minister Marc Lalonde replied in writing, mentioning his continuing support for minority rights, while Trudeau, out of the country, has not yet responded.NEW EMBLEM Last month the English rights group unveiled a logo in response to law 178.White says it represents the province’s approach to language as expressed by the majority of Gaspesians.Set against a map of Quebec, the loeo reads: “L’avenir ensemble", with French in predominance, and “together for tommorrow” underneath.The campaign has already attracted attention beyond Quebec’s borders.White said a group of former Gaspesians living in Toronto learned of the logo through the weekly Gaspé newspaper SPEC, and asked to be part of the campaign.“They’re having bumper stickers made using the slogan for distribution in Ontario,” White said.White said the organization’s positive approach to language recon-cilliation is already beginning to show signs of acceptance in Gaspé’s predominantly French-soeakine communities.Jean Chrétien.Five years to edu- rnto the nrnvincê.‘We don’t have sufficient details to continue Adoption

concrete help follows Charest visit By Ann McLaughlin SHERBROOKE - Union members at Dominion Textile’s Sherbrooke weaving plant were given lots of condolence yesterday but little concrete help from MP and sports minister Jean Charest.Charest paid a visit to the company’s Domil plant on Burlington Street to discuss the future of 170 employees slated for layoff within the next six months.He will be going back to Ottawa aware of problems confronting the textile business in the Eastern Townships, said union spokesman Roland Bennett.Last week Dominion Textile announced 425 employees across the province would lose their jobs as the multinational reorganizes operations.A flood of foreign textile imports undercutting the Canadian market and not free trade with the United States has been cited as the main reason behind the company’s decision, say union members and management alike.“Charest told us what federal programs were available for the workers but it was nothing new,” said Domil union vice-president Bennett.He added that Employment DEpartment officials will be sent to the factory to help redirect affected employees.The government will help employees find jobs in other textile plants or retrain them altogether, but Bennett warned that most laid off workers will probably not benefit.“Half our workers are over 40 and there are no jobs for them.They have little education, all

union, part of the larger Centrale des Syndicats Démocratique (CSD), wants Charest to do more than explain unemployment programs for the industry.They want him to lobby for protectionism in Ottawa.“The federal government has already promised to protect us.We need Charest to keep the issue going,” Bennett said.IMPORT QUOTAS The textile industry wants Ottawa to tighten import quotas from third-world countries.Most importing countries have two-way agreements with Canada setting out textile quotas.But quo- tas are only negotiated if a county’s imports significantly affect the domestic market, Bennett said.“We want Ottawa to negotiate quotas before the textiles get onto the market, before the country starts selling here,” he said, adding that many countries' imports are insignificant by themselves, but damaging overall.Bennett added that the union has faith in the federal government since Prime Minister Brian Mulro-ney has started to protect the industry.But the Quebec government is trying to avoid the issue, he said.“Quebec says imports are federal jurisdiction, so they won’t get involved.But we work and live and pay taxes here.It’s time Quebec takes responsibility to help its workers,” Bennett said.“We are giving the Quebec government a chance to redeem itself,” Bennett said.The union is asking Quebec to allow workers between the ages of 50 and 54 to be eligible for the Programme d’a-daptation des travailleurs âgés (PATA) early retirement package, so they don’t have to go on welfare when their unemployment insurance runs dry.The Domil union has received a letter from St-François MNA and regional ‘godmother’ Monique Ga-gnon-Tremblay saying she wants to meet with regional unions in all industry in the Townships.The union wants MP Charest to be there as well so both levels of government can combine to help workers.High-tech accoustic converter Corcoran to show off new guitar box SHERBROOKE (CV) — A rev* lutionary invention which fastens to an acoustic guitar and eliminates the need for an amplification system will be on display in Sherbrooke this week.Already acclaimed by several well-known guitarists, the “Aspri”, brainchild of Roberto Aspri, is a small metal box which could revolutionize the music world with its simplicity, efficiency and low cost.For playing in public, accoustic guitars, (they’re the old-fashioned, plain ones you don’t usually need to plug in), if equipped with “pickups”, which wire the instrument for more sound, must also come equipped with a separate amplifying system that costs lots of bucks.Jim Corcoran, Quebec folklore rocker and presently host of CBC radio's program ‘A Propos’, a guide to the music of Quebec, will be on in town between 2 and 4 p.m.today to show fellow musicians

Roy said the attitude of the town did not surprise him “The comtemptuous attitude has not changed." he said "It ’s as if the mayor is afraid his own employees will do like town employees and form a union " Lessard-Gilbert said the township is trying to make the union "jump" and do something drastic.“We have been very passive,” she said, adding that the workers don’t want to be seen as troublemakers.“Who knows, with elections coming up in the fall maybe it will be easier to get a contract,” she said."So we sit and pray." Philipsburg smuggling case Jury hears customs man, then waits.GRANBY — The seven man, five woman jury panel chosen to hear the case of Carline Ferron were put aside for most of Wed nesday.While thewy

very secretly’ Magog Township luxury lots have Snug Harbor homeowners fearing a plot By Ann McLaughlin MAGOG TOWNSHIP — Some property owners in the Snug Harbor area of Lake Memphremagog suspect local developers are colluding to swindle them out of their beach and build a big marina on it.Snug Harbor developer Jacques Labérée plans to build a 20-boat floating marina off the neighborhood’s communal beach — a 175-foot stretch of lakefront traditionally used for swimming and boating by residents without shoreline properties in the compound of cottages and homes.Though Labérée owns the land above the beach just south of Magog, about 40 property owners have legal access across it to reach the lake.Some of them, mainly members of L ’Association des propriétaires de Snug Harbor, want the marina stopped.HARBOR TOO SMALL?meowners association “tried to take the beach area from me in court last year but they lost.” “If they want it so badly then they should have bought it instead of me,” he said.WAY OF PROGRESS Labérée criticized the association for standing in the way of progress.He added that members don’t represent the needs of the whole neighborhood.“They are a small clique of fighters who misrepresent the property owners,” he said."These few people may have places for their boats.But other residents want places for theirs too,” and are looking forward to the marina.he said.But the marina itself is not all Labérée’s opponents fear.The association says the marina plan illustrates a bigger problem showing up all over Memphremagog — new developments cropping up called Zone Blanche.They say it is part of an underhanded deal by this new developer, who is selling and building half-million dollar houses in the fields behind their relatively modest homes.Diane Coté, president of the residents association, says trouble has long been brewing.“It all began a few years ago when these new developers started to approach some cottage owners, asking them if they wanted to sell,” Coté said in an interview.Although no one bit the bait, “Word got around and we knew something wasn’t right.” Coté added that the homeowners association kept tabs on the two numbered-company developers — Labérée’s 2524-2595 Quebec Inc., and 123611 Canada Inc.of Zone Blanche, represented on paper only by vice-president Jean-Guy Leclerc.Snooping in public records, the “The marina will

transferred a right-of-way to the new buyer.Ho-meowners’ suspicions were confirmed.ADDED UP TO WHAT?Coté said the association put two and two tegether.Since Labérée sold the tract of land to the new developer, the marina must be for them — he is in on the scheme, they said.“We don’t know if Labérée’s company will be renting or selling marina space, or if it’s included in the deal when people want to buy these new houses.Why else would they build out in the field?” asked Coté “We have no proof of exactly what is going on.All we have are ; the documents we found in the pu- 2 blic records in Stanstead And the ' deals were written up in a way ' where it was hard to tell who was î who and what was being done ’’ % “It's all being done very secre- tly,” Coté added indignantly.3 AD PITCH Only one grandiose, greek-style home has been completed in the Zone Blanche, but 27 others will be built within the next few years, says an article in a November issue of La Presse.The story is in the “decoration” supplement of the newspaper and is basically a sales pitch for the development.“The land on which the houses are built have access to the lake." the article continues, profiling celebrated architect Phillipe Dage-nais — is he among the owners of 123611 Canada?— but never mentioning the legalities involved in obtaining this access.Asked about accusations from the property owners, Zone Blanche real estate broker Rosaire Coutu said no such conspiracy is taking place and “the residents were simply being paranoid.” Coutu said that one lot was indeed purchased down below in Snug Harbor but said the right-of-way is for one owner only.“If someone buys a lot there, they have every legal right to the beach,” he said, insisting that the single sale was a special case.NOT INTERESTED He added that Zone Blanche is not interested in entangling its rich prospective tenants in a clandestine fight to obtain beach servitudes with Snug Harbor residents.“The people who will be living here are paying a lot of money for their homes.They won’t want to share a small, crowded undeveloped beach with others.” "They want quality,” Coutu sniffed, sounding offended by the thought behind the homeowners’ accusations.Coutu explained the article in La Presse, confirming the intent of the Zone Blanche development to provide its clientele with a marina but that Snug Harbor was not necessarily the chosen site.“Snug Harbor is not the only place on Memphremagog for a marina.We are in the process of negotiating and looking for an appropriate place for our marina,” he said.But Coutu wouldn't entirely rule out Snug Harbor as a potential site for the 123611 marina.“Maybe in the future, if the property owners approach us we would be willing to strike a deal with them,” he said.PETITION Snug Harbor property owners have not talked with the new developer but have taken a different route.The association is calling on Magog Township council to forbid building the marina — period.“A petition with the signatures of about 60 residents and property owners will be presented to Mayor Rosaire Pillion on March 6,” Vaillancourt said.The group wants Magog Township to enact bylaws limiting marina building on the lakefront.Lakefront space on Memphremagog is Umited — by topography, but more by soaring prices.If there isn’t enough to go around, Coté concludes, present residents like those of Snug Harbor should get them.“Not newcomers from Ontario with lots of money," 4—The RECORD—Thursday.March 2, 1989 1________ftgl Kama The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial How do Quebec |l_etters It is regrettable that there has been a misunderstanding bishops define morality?The recent statement by the executive of the Quebec Assembly of Roman Catholic Bishops, accepting both the morality and necessity of Bill 178 in this province, can’t be allowed to pass without comment.In defending the bill, which a group of English-speaking Catholics in Montreal have denounced as “overriding the fundamental right of freedom of expression,” the bishops championed the law and said it was needed to save the French language in Quebec.The president of the Quebec Assembly of Bishops, Sherbrooke’s Archbishop Msgr.Jean Marie Fortier, even went a step further.He said, according to press reports, that the Assembly’s statement would, in fact, help to diffuse the language debate in the province; at least among Anglophone Catholics.Leaving aside the debatability of the latter opinion, one is entitled to ask the deeper question : By whose moral standards are these decisions reached and promulgated?The Assembly’s as an automonous body, answerable to nobody?Is this group of clergymen, therefore, a law unto itself?How does their decision square, for instance, with a lengthy statement made by a prominent church leader on the occasion of World Day of Peace, last January 1st?That statement, dealing with respect for minorities everywhere, including presumably Quebec, called on both the minorities and the majorities around them to treat each other with respect and dignity.“One sees minorities which exert no influence and do not enjoy their rights, but rather find themselves in situations of suffering and distress,” the World Day of Peace statement said in part.“This can lead to passive resignation or to unrest and even rebellion.Yet, neither passivity nor violence represents the proper path for creating conditions of true peace.” Zeroing in on a situation that has become all to familiar to some of us here in Quebec, the statement continued: “Another right that must be safeguarded is the right of minorities to preserve and develop their own culture.It is not unheard of that minority groups are threatened with cultural extinction.In some places, in fact, laws have been enacted which do not recognize minorities’ right to use their own language.” This Peace Day statement, which received world-wide coverage and which would certainly have been well-known to the Assembly of Bishops in Quebec, would seem to be at sharp variance with the provincial body’s latest proclamation.So, in fact, would the Assembly’s own previous statement issued before the 1977 adoption of Bill 101.At that time the bishops, while expressing agreement with what they perceived as being the basic values of Bill 101, had reservations about the relation between the bill and the Provincial Charter of Rights.The bishops warned then that matters covered by the Charter of Rights, and that included language, should be handled with great caution.Such matters were so important, the bishops said at the time, that the government should think twice before attempting to override the Rights charter.But overriding it is exactly what the government of Premier Bourassa has done via Bill 178 and the “notwithstanding” clause.Only now it’s “moral,” according to the bishops.Times change, and so apparently do some ecclesiastical definitions of morality.As to the World Day of Peace statement and the Roman Catholic church leader who made it, he’s known universally as Pope John Paul 11.GIL SMITH Dear Sir/Madam: We would like to request space to answer Rossana Coriandoli's editorial of February 27,1989, on the status of the Lennoxville Library.If we may, we would like to address the points in the order they occurred in that editorial.1.The figure of $2,400.00 appears under “Bibliothèque” in the budget released by the Town of Lennoxville on December 12, 1988.The $5,000.00 figure is hidden under Recreation "Subvention".At the library’s Open House on December 17, 1988, our President, Roxane Beauchemin, voiced to Mayor Bruce her disappointment that the library was to receive only $2,400.00 and no denial was given.In addition, we had been seeking a meeting with town officials for over six weeks and so we reacted to the published figure.It is regrettable that there has been a misunderstanding concerning the amount but even the sum of $7,400.00 will not cover the expenses involved in running the library which last year totallîd $20,971 53.2.The editorial hinges on the premise that the library suffers from decline in membership whereas the fact is that our membership has icreased bringing with it problems associated with its success.The circulation figure for adult books has increased by 195 per cent between 1982 and 1988 while the children’s books circulation has increased by 757 per cent partly due to the special project run for the students of Ecole St-Antoine, 423 per cent of that is English children’s books.3.The present membership fee is in line with other libraries and the suggestion that the fee be doubled would not result in a doubling of total amount received since some people would not renew their memberships.4.When you and I pay our provincial income tax, part of that money goes to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs which funds libraries only through municipalities.(In the past, Lennoxville Library did receive funds directly from the Ministry of Cultural Affairs).Since the Lennoxville Library is not a municipal responsibility, none of this tax money is returned to Lennoxville.It is for this reason that the Committee felt that the library would be more financially stable as a municipal responsibility and not simply to shift the expenses.5.A recent petition of over 1000 signatures showed the support of 25 per cent of the total population (including babes in arms) for the proposal fo the library becoming a municipal responsibility This clearly shows a willin- gness on the part of Lennoxville residents to pay any extra taxes that a municipal library may entail.As yet, no official response to the petition has been received.However, negotiations are ongoing and once the present Library executive has more information, a general membership meeting will be called.Respectfully.The Executive of the Lennoxville Association ROXANE BEAUCHEMIN President PAULA DE MAN Vice-President JANET DRAPER Treasurer MADELENE ALLEN Secretary Lennoxville Incoherent articulation of an uneasy conscience To the Editor: I am prompted to write by three letters published in the Record on Feb.16.All three dealt with the issue of the Saint Francis grove in Richmond and all were signed by former or present self-appointed trustees of the Saint Francis College Corporation, the legal name of what is commonly called the Saint Francis College Board.The letters puzzled me, so much so that I had to read them several times.Now, usually I don’t have to re-read things quite so often.I am, after all, a professional reader.The work I do as a teacher entails tremendous amount of reading, and over the years I have become a relatively good reader.Among other things I have learned to become sensitive to troubled adolescents.It often happens that when a youngster is upset, or under stress, or confused and uncertain, he will express his state of turmoil in his writing.I mention this because the letters of Feb.16, after a third or fourth reading, suddenly struck me as examples of troubled writing.I want to make it clear before I continue that what follows is said without prejudice, to use a legal phrase, and is more of a literary analysis than anything else.low price) a piece of land which was no longer theirs to sell.As puzzling as what was said in the letters, is what was left unsaid.There are so many questions that the trustees (ever dwindling in number) chose to ignore: why has the grove, which has been an intergral part of Saint Francis for 135 years, suddenly become a “potentially hazardous area?” Why was the problem of the grove, if indeed there was a problem, not examined more closely to see if there weren’t alternative solutions.Why, if the grove had to be sold, was it made available to only one buyer?If the trustees were desperate to raise funds why would they not have auctioned the grove to the highest bidder, or at least sold it through a licensed real estate broker?Why, after such a large number of people came out to a public meeting to ask the College Board to hold on to the grove, did the trustees not act accordingly?Why have the trustees gone on at length about the inability of the SFCB to raise $3,000 when the real issue is that the trustees have refused to agree to hold on to the grove?If the purpose of the letters of Feb.16 was to win public support, they failed miserably.The letters strike me The three letters of Feb.16 were, as I just said, puzzling.They were puzzling in their tone, and in their content.The tone of the letters ran from sanctimonious to strident to libelous.These phrases are examples among many : “I would warn other innocent members of our community-.not to be taken in.” or “in spite of legal threats, innuendo and manipulation.” or again, “.some members of the teaching staff have slandered, harassed and insulted.” The content of the letters was, for the most part, spurious.Again I quote: “This piece of land has, for generations, been out of bounds to students.” and “.the land was offered to the opposing group for a dollar." The deceit of the first argument lies in the fact that being out of bounds does not make the grove any less useful to the school and students.An awful lot of places are out of bounds when not supervised: the gymnasium, the auditorium, the science lab, even an ordinary classroom.The joke of the second argument lies in the fact that this offer to sell the land for a dollar was made after the trustees of the SFCB already had a legally binding offer of sale with another party.In other words, the trustees were selling (albeit at a very as a slightly incoherent articulation of an uneasy conscience, an unsuccessful attempt to expiate a well-deserved sense of guilt.The question of the grove is heading for court.Perhaps that’s for the best.At the least, the court will determine whether or not the grove will remain a part of Saint Francis School.The interesting questions will likely remain unanswered.I don’t expect that the court will reveal the forces at play in this issue.I don’t think we will learn what has forced normally sensitive and responsible people to act in an insensitive and autocratic manner.I don’t expect to write again on this issue, at least not until it is long over.As a story, of course, it has tremendous potential.It would make a terrific play, for example.In the meantime, since the issue has been turned over to lawyers and there is little reason to appeal to public opinion, I’ll turn my attention to other, more pressing matters, like themes in modern Canadian poetry or the efficacity of Saint Jude, the patron saint of lost causes.Sincerely yours, NICK

death of Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses.The publicity sparked by the Iranian leader's action against Rushdie is cultivating hatred against the 150,000 followers of Islam in Canada, Muslim leaders say.“Unfortunately, since Khomeini made that statement, the controversy switched from the book to the question of violence and terrorism," said Jamal Badawi, chairman of the Islamic Information Foundation and professor of business management at St.Mary's University in Halifax.“The immediate effect of all this publicity is that some people who already have racial prejudice feel now they are justified in what they believe.” Badawi said Khomeini has gone too far and has frustrated many moderate Islamic leaders because of his adherence to strict Islamic law and his high profile in the world.“The media has not seen yet that there are many Muslims who are opposed to Khomeini's statement,” Badawi said."Islamic law follows due process and you can’t just put out a contract on someone's life.That is abhorrent.While I’m deeply hurt by the book, I can’t agree with these kind of threats.They are wrong.” PROTEST CONTINUES There have been bombings in Pakistan and mass demonstrations against the book in Lebanon, Iran and New York, where the offices of the Riverdale Press were firebombed Tuesday.The paper printed an editorial last week supporting The Satanic Verses, which many Muslims consider blasphemous.In Winnipeg, a man claiming to be a Muslim smashed the front window of a book store last week and left the makings of a gasoline bomb.Anwar Islam, president of the Manitoba Islamic Association, said the uproar has put his community under siege."The more we talk about all this trouble, the more it looks as if we’re trying to stir things up,” Islam said.“There have been phone calls and threats.But we are trying to get the message to everyone that we are good people, people who live their lives according to the laws of Islam.” Kadim Al-Roubaie.an association vice-president, said many Muslims in Winnipeg have received threatening phone calls at home by non-Muslim: who “tell us to go back home and stufl like that.They tell us that Islam is ar ugly thing.” But Al-Roubaie said most Muslim: left their home countries to escape po litical and religious unrest and che rish their Canadian citizenship.“We are part of this country ant this is our home,” Al-Roubaie said “We are proud to be Canadians ant we won’t back down." Badawi, who for nine years has hos ted a television show on the Islamic faith on community access station: across Canada, said the Rushdie controversy has underlined most Ca nadians’ lack of knowledge about hi: religion.“I do feel, however, that the contro versy might raise the interest of some Canadians to find out more about Islam.” The RKl'ORD—Thursday, March 2, 19t»_5 Farm and Business ‘It’s incredible how callous this company is' Wardair to cut 1000 following PWA buyout —___ recora TORONTO (CP) — Wardair employees in Toronto and Winnipeg will be among those hit by plans to chop about 1,000 people from the airline’s payroll by the summer, company president George Curley said Tuesday.In an interview, Curley said Wardair will cut about 500 Toronto jobs in June and will close its operation in Winnipeg — affecting all 35 employees — as the company ends its daily flight to the Manitoba capital later this month.“I’m absolutely furious,” said Cheryl Kryzaniwsky, president of the airline division of the Canadian Auto Workers union, after a morning meeting with Wardair executives.“It’s incredible how callous this company is.” Curley would not indicate what other Wardair operations would be hit by job cuts, but said the number of flights between Toronto and Ot-tawa and to Britain will be trimmed.Kryzaniwsky said the union was told daily flights out of Ottawa will be reduced to one from five by Aug.15, but the company would not confirm the number or date.About 40 per cent of the job losses will come through attrition, Curley said.The company currently employs about 4,800 workers.The belt-tightening follows War-dair's disastrous 1988 financial performance, the president said.An auditor’s report released Friday showed the company lost $57.7 million on its operations last year, compared with a $7-million profit in 1987.REVISE PLANS “We just have to revise our operating plans as a consequence of those poor economic results.” Curley said The federal government, which requires 16 weeks' notice of major job cuts, was informed of the plans by letter Tuesday, he said.Calgary-based PWA Corp.— which owns Canadian Airlines International, Canada’s second-largest airline — announced a deal in January to buy cash-strapped Wardair for $241 million.The federal competition watchdog must still approve the deal.Plans to shrink the Wardair workforce were under way even before the PWA takeover was announced, said Curley.If the deal goes through, the number of jobs lost could rise beyond 1.000 as the two companies merge some operations, he said.Kryzaniwsky predicted the job losses are only the beginning for the airhne industry as competition is reduced because of the proposed takeover If it does go through, more cities will lose air service, higher airfares will result and more people will be on unemployment and welfare rolls, she said.“It’s barely the tip of the iceberg," she said.Kryzaniwsky said Wardair indicated it won’t ask Canadian Airlines to take on workers cut from the payroll Negotiations ève opened on severance packages, which will supplement those provided for in their contract agreements, she said.Currently, members of Kryza-niwsky’s union are entitled to about two weeks’ pay for each year worked But the extra money will mean little to people who can’t find new jobs, she said.Infighting now worsening Nfld’s dead greenhouse ST.JOHN’S, Nfld.(CP) — The troubled Sprung greenhouse is killing more than cucumbers in Newfoundland, it seems.The legislature’s public accounts committee, embroiled in furious infighting over the giant hydroponic greenhouse, could be headed for the same fate as the thousands of cucumbers that died on Sprung’s vines in December.Conservative members of the committee, which is supposed to keep watch over how the government spends its money, have refused to attend any more meetings because Liberal members want to ask questions about the province’s $20-million investment in the greenhouse that’s now up for sale.‘‘We won’t be attending any more meetings,” said Wilson Cal-lan, a Tory backbencher who is the committee’s vice chairman.But the committee’s Liberal chairman, Winston Baker, says the meetings will forge on without the Conservatives.Sprung and his daughter Dawn were scheduled to answer questions at today’s meeting and Baker said he expects them to show.He said Sprung wrote to him to find out what kind of questions he would have to answer.About the only thing upon which the Tories and Liberals agree is that the committee’s days are numbered.Baker said the refusal of the members to attend is another step toward the complete destruction of the public accounts committee.Callan agreed that the comit-tee’s demise was near but he blamed the Liberals.Baker had to cancel the committee's meeting Tuesday when he discovered that he and another Liberal were the only members planning to attend.Even the scheduled witness — former agriculture minister Charlie Power, who quit cabinet over the crop failure at the greenhouse — didn’t show.Last week, the four Tory mem- bers of the committee attended two days of hearings but walked out and blocked Liberal attempts to get information about Newfoundland Enviroponics Ltd., the joint venture between the province and Calgary businessman Philip Sprung.WILL ATTEND Baker said there was little he could do to punish the Tory committee members but said he would recommend that the legislature admonish Power if he doesn’t have a good excuse for why he didn’t attend.Callan blamed the committee’s troubles on the Liberals, saying they tried to hold hearings and call witnesses without the agreement of government members.He said that the public will understand that the Liberals are conducting a witch hunt and that he wasn’t concerned the government may appear to be hiding details of its investment.The government announced shortly after the crop failure it plans to sell the greenhouse.Last week it announced it had reached a tentative deal with a group of five businessmen.Sprung surprised the government when he revealed details of the agreement, saying the selling price was $22 million.He also named the men in the consortium poised to buy the greenhouse.One member of the consortium is country singer Kenny Rogers, whose sideline as a television pitchman for the Dole pineapple interests has heightened speculation that the buyer would convert the greenhouse to grow pineapples.Rogers will tour the greenhouse when he comes to St.John's for a concert on Saturday.Agriculture Minister Rick Woodford said the province won’t start to get its money back until after the greenhouse starts making a profit.Hydroponic cultivation roots the plants in nutrient-laced water instead of

(CP) — It’s the fraz zled homeowner's dream — a house equipped with dishwas hers.TV's, sound systems and te lephones that can think for them selves And a Canadian high-tech company says it has brought the benefits of a smart home a lot closer to reality Victoria-based A1SI Research Corp.is betting — along with appliance manufacturers — that technology that saves homeowners money and makes running their home simpler will be welcomed by consumers.It has started international marketing of silicon computer chips that enable appliances to electronically talk to each other "Ail appliance manufacturers are bringing greater electronic intelligence to their products," AISI chairman James Baroux said from the company's San Ramon, Calif., marketing division.“That’s the overall direction the industry is moving in.Now that we can achieve greater compatibility of interaction between appliances, we re finally at a point where smart homes can be developed.” About 100,000 homes in the United States now have some form of home automation, typically a timing device that automatically turns lights on and off.But that market is expected to grow to three million households next year.Incorporating the chips into home appliances would mean, for example, that at the end of the day a central control would lock doors, turn off the television and dishwasher, close drapes and lower the thermostat When the telephone rings, the system will lower the volume of televisions or sound systems.The volume returns to its original level when the phone conversation ends.SAVES MONEY Consumers can save money on appliances each other their energy costs by programming the system to use hot water, for example, when electricity rates are low.“At 7 a m say, your hot water heater gets a signal from the dishwasher," Baroux explained.“The heater recognizes it as a signal from the dishwasher, telling it exactly how much water is needed.“An hour later, the heater gets another signal from the dishwas her indicating that it has switched on ” The owner is saving money be cause the hot water heater is working only when it’s required Applications include warning homeowners that an appliance needs repairs or alerting them by phone that the house has been entered while they're away Most homeowners now use only about 20 per cent of the real technical capacity that is already built into some appliances such as sound systems and VCRs because they don’t take the time to read detailed instructions in equipment manuals.“The next step in home automation is to make that technology simpler to use, more efficient and save people time.” Baroux said it will likely be two to three years before appliances carrying the chips — which will sell to manufacturers for less than $2 each — are on the market.Implementing home automation systems has been delayed while manufacturers develop common standards so that computer chips can be used in appliances whatever their make and model.A standard has been adopted and AlSl’s chips are the first available that are compatible with it.AISI is negotiating licensing agreements with electronic manufacturers and already has contracts with Sony, Panasonic, RCA and Johnson Controls on integration of the chips with their products.By Darlene Rude WINNIPEG (CP) — An age-old Prairie crop could boost its street value by preventing potholes and curbing cracks, because of the research of two University of Manitoba civil engineers.Flax, one of the most versatile of Canada’s cultivated plants, has great potential for sealing and protecting concrete from the elements, Emmanuel Attiogbe said Tuesday.“The farmers will benefit because they’ll have to grow more Business brief OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government is appointing a special panel to review the use of pesticides in agriculture, says Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazan-kowski.He told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture on Tuesday that a chairman for the review panel would be named soon.The move would follow nearly a decade of detailed study by the Departments of Health and Agriculture into chemicals used on farms and forests.Mazankowski, also minister of agriculture, said the government’s concern about the environment will be reflected in its agricultural policies.He warned farmers they must deal with growing public concern about a whole range of additives, growth hormones and chemicals used in farming."THE ASSOCIATES flax to meet demand,” Attiogbe said in an interview.“The government and municipalities will certainly be spending less on road maintenance.” Attiogbe and colleague Sami Rizkalla wiU spend three years researching the project with a $64,000 grant from the Flax Council of Canada.The small, shiny seeds from flax are crushed to produce linseed oil, that will be mixed with different substances and sprayed on highways, city streets and airports, Attiogbe said.The oil-based substance forms a somewhat elastic barrier — like a giant sheet of plastic wrap — to keep out salt and moisture that cause concrete to flake, chip and develop suspension-wrecking potholes.“It could be very effective in any climate where the freezing and thawing occurs rapidly,” Attiogbe said.The sealant is expected to add a few years to the life of concrete roadways.WAS REPLACED Linseed oil was used as a sealant in North America in the 1960s but was replaced by a technique of injecting air bubbles into wet concrete to provide pockets for excess moisture.Other sealants are produced with silicon and cost about 10 times as much as linseed oil, Attiogbe said.Canada is the world’s largest producer and exporter of flaxseed, a blue-flowered crop that already has a long list of uses.Its oil finds a place in house paints, linoleum and health food stores, while flax straw yields products including linen and cigarette papers.More ancient civilizations used flax to wrap mummies and make Bibles.Today, the crop is the country’s sixth most important, with about 750,000 tonnes grown annually on the Prairies.Last summer’s drought cut the 1988 harvest in half and pushed prices to near the $400-a-tonne mark.It’s unknown how much more flax farmers would have to grow to fill any eventual demand for linseed oil sealant, said Albert Can-tin, executive director of the Flax Council of Canada.Cantin said only about 40 per cent of a flaxseed is oil and that more uses, such as livestock feed, would have to be found for the flax meal that remains after crushing.MALLETTE, BENOIT, BOULANGER, RONDEAU Integral part of Le Groupe Mallette Pierre Robert, C.A.,

Opening lead: ?4 By James Jacoby “Have you ever seen such luck?” South exclaimed to his partner, having just gone set in four spades.“First the king of hearts is with East; then the ace of diamonds is over the king; and finally the queen of diamonds is with West All three cards had to be wrong for the contract to fail.” From these remarks, you astute readers should be able to figure out the scenario in the play of four spades.With the lead of the heart four, declarer had finessed dummy's queen.East won the king and returned a club.Declarer won the ace of clubs, drew trumps and cashed the ace of hearts and the other high clubs before leading a diamond to dummy’s king.But East won the ace and returned the suit, enabling the defenders to take three diamond tricks and set the contract Despite the bad luck dogging the declarer, he could have guaranteed his contract with a simple play.Suppose he rises with dummy’s ace of hearts at trick one.Next he draws trump and plays out his high clubs Then he can exit with a heart.Since the defenders now have to play the diamond suit for him (or offer a sluff and ruff), he has at most two diamond losers and makes the contract.Just because a finesse is staring you in the face, do not neglect the availability of an elimination play and throw-in for a sure-fire way to make your contract.James Jacoby's books “Jacoby on Bridge " and “Jacoby

RECORD—Ttarwlay, Mart* 2, Hocdnd Living Restaurants sign up for good food March is nutrition month: ‘Thin is in' days replaced by ‘body-mass index’ By John Tollefsmd SHERBROOKE — Less fat, less salt and less sugar are the keys to a better diet.Local dieticians are teaming up with four Sherbrooke restaurants to promote the idea by labelling healthy meals offered on their menus.To kick off March as nutrition month, five professional dieticians Tuesday announced this year’s campaign, involving Chez Charlie, Da Tony, B.E.and Oreganos restaurants in Sherbrooke.The project is organized by the Quebec corporation of professional dieticians and sponsored by Quebec daify producers, Grissol food company and others.Customers who sample designated meals at participating restaurants will be given a ticket on a draw for several prizes, including a color TV.The 1989 campaign is the ninth in Quebec but the first for the Sherbrooke area.This year’s theme is eating to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.The dieticians emphasized that eating well and maintaining a reasonable weight is not contradictory.High-fibre foods like green salads and whole-wheat bread are recommended.While no restaurant representatives were present, the spokeswomen said the four restaurants were receptive to the idea of offering healthy meals Moreover, one dietician said the trend is growing and the food industry must keep up.HEALTHY DIETS “I think restaurants have to accept this new trend towards healthy diets,” Sonja Malenfant said.She said people today are more conscious of their diets and her colleagues agreed.“People today want to know about lean cuts of meat,” Carole Boisvert said.“Many want more and more health-food products.” Boisvert said changes in what grocery stores supply reflect consumer demand.She cited the large variety of new exotic fruits now commonly available in grocery stores.Like mangos and papayas, nutrition counselling is also widely available today.But Boisvert said the biggest problem for professional dieticians is lack of communica- tion with the public, along with their low profile.“Most dieticians work in hospi tals." she said, adding that budgets for the specialty are often limited.Private practices are on the increase among dieticians though — despite a recommended provincial rate of $40 an hour for their service.But Sherbrooke dietician Brigitte Bédard said the local rate averages about $35.Bedard's office adjoins the Multi-Club health club and she says any nutrition program must be accompanied by other healthy habits including exercise.Bédard also said diet is very individual and must take individual lifestyles into account.“You can’t say a (diet) program is just for a year.” Bédard said.“When you develop lifetime habits, it’s a gradual process (to change them).” BODY-MASS INDEX Bédard and Boisvert said individuals must be treated one by one when it comes to ideal weight and diet.In a strong rejection of the previous idea that ‘thin is in’, the dieticians' professional corporation now advocates what is known Retirement homes should be exempt from business tax — Sherbrooke By Karen Lajoie SHERBROOKE — The city of Sherbrooke has asked Municipal Affairs Minister Pierre Paradis to add retirement homes to the business tax exemption list.The resolution was put forward by spokesmen for retirement home owners and unanimously approved at Monday night’s city council meeting.“They asked the council to ask the provincial government to exclude the residences from business taxes,” says councülor Jacques Ju-bmville who put forth an amended proposal to tax only common areas and services, not the room or apartment used by the person as a private residence.Jubinville said it would be relatively simple for city evaluators to determine which parts of a residence were or were not taxable under the plan.“For each of the 26 residences, evaluators know exactly how many square feet are residential, and how many are common areas like cafeterias,” he said.“There’s a dollar value attached to the area, and taxed at the rate of 8.3 per cent.” WHY SHOULD SENIORS The councillor said stores, offices and professionals pay business tax and a cafeteria is like a restaurant but no other citizen pays business tax for the space where they live so why should seniors.“Right now, retirement homes are in a grey zone.We could find many reasons to exclude them,” he continued, noting “students don’t pay for their rooms in boarding houses, and there’s no reason for Hr Jacques Jubinville.retirement homes in grey zone.old people to be subjected to this.” JubinviUe said the provincial government has a set list of exemptions to Article 236 of the municipal finance law.Any additions to the list must be made by Quebec, not individual municipalities.The law was written before residences for older citizens became prevalent.Currently, if no specific exemption has been granted, municipalities are obliged to tax businesses at a specific rate, he said.WHAT’S A BUSINESS However the problem is identifying what residences constitute a business.“Now, if they have a kitchen, there’s no tax.If there’s no individual kitchen, and they have food service, it’s considered a business and taxed,” JubinviUe said.In Sherbrooke buildings where older people have individual rooms instead of apartments are deemed businesses, not rooming houses, and must pay the tax.Once Quebec makes a decision, it wül apply to aU cities and towns across the province.With elections in the air, however, the timetable remains uncertain.The only thing the owners of residences can be sure of is that in 1989, they wUl still pay business taxes to the city of Sherbrooke.Sex offender learns how to control urges Dear Aan Landers:

correspondent is absolutely right.The most commonly used hormone is Depo-Provers, which is a weak "cousin” of the male sex hormone.It can work miracles on pedophiles and other individuals who are inclined to behave in sexually aberrrant ways.The hormone reduces the sex drive to the level it was before puberty.The individual is then able to reorganize his sex life.” Dr.Money said a combination of hormonal treatment and counseling should be used.He urged me to emphasize that those who have this problem should seek help before they damage young lives and the police come knocking at the door A

then that a rich man would be less likely to commit a money crime than a man sleeping on a park bench?” Our friend shook his head.“They always want more.All of them.And it’s the same with liquor and drugs.And maybe with women.We’re never satisfied with what we’ve got.“But there must be some reason why a man in good circumstances is more likely to stay out of trouble than the rest,” I said.“If it isn’t the security which comes with money that makes him that way, what is it?” Our friend the cop and philosopher took a deep drag on his pipe and watched the cloud of smoke drifting away.“I don’t know for sure,” he said, “but 1 think it’s something you could call a sense of control.It’s the ability which some men have to think just a little longer before they act — to hold themselves in check

Those who can are ones who stay respectable A policeman is seldom regarded as a genius.Too often, he doesn’t even get credit for being intelligent.What genuine cleverness there is in the force is commonly supposed to reside in the detective squads only, which, of course, are so superhumanly clever that the detective has now displaced the fearless cowboy and the handsome young doctor as the favorite hero of the entertainment world.But for the common, street-corner variety of policeman, we often have far too little praise.We call him a cop, a bobby, a dick, a peeler or a flatfoot and think of him as a stolid and unperceptive sort who should have had the sense to get himself a decent job somewhere else.I have never shared this attitude, probably because my relationships with the force have so far been quietly helpful rather than dramatic.I am glad to admit that some of my best friends are cops and I feel no desire whatsoever to either patronize or discriminate.One such officer visits us at the farm quite often, and his quick strength comes in very handy for helping out with various chores which we can’t quite manage alone.An ardent country lover, he and his Springer bird dog frequen- Sutton Mrs.Arlene Forse and sons, Ar-more of Montreal, Bertran, his wife and two daughters of Toronto and Allen of Kingston were at their property on Mont Echo Road on Sunday and called on friends in the Sutton area.h.r, Gordon Green tly come out on a weekend j ust f or a breath of farm air, and one September Sunday when he caught us doing our awkward best to tag and tattoo some 400 pound calves he immediately jumped into the fray with us.It was a very strenuous job and one which deserved a quiet pipe and relaxation afterwards.“Worse than wrestling a man into a police car, 1 guess,” I said as our friend mopped the sweat from his brow.“I’ve wrestled worse,” the cop said.“But not too often.” Then he began to get philosophical.“I rather like a tussle with a good healthy critter for a change,” he said.“There isn’t too much variety to the kinds of trouble we get in the force, you know ” We didn’t understand and said as much.Our cop shook his head.“Aside from the never-ending arguments with damfool drivers there’s really only three kinds of troubles a cop has to deal with,” he said.“Just three”.He held up his fingers and counted them off.“Money troubles, liquor and drugs, women.Those three are just about the root of all that we have to deal with.And the funny thing about it is that the kind of people doesn’t seem to matter This is a deal.This makes the deal even better.Purchase a Panasonic Laser Partner Printer now.Get a year’s supply of toner free !# Bonus offer value $474.00.The Panasonic Laser Partner is compatible with the Industry Standard.At 11 pages per minute, it is the tastest in its class.The Panasonic Laser Partner also gives you a wide choice of fonts and convenient paper handling.Powered h\ a "Panasonic engine", it's an excellent choice for desktop publishing, presentations, legal documents and any high quality printing requirements.It’s easy to use w ith two trays for greater functionality This is the easy way for users of low-priced dot matrix printers to move up to higher-quality text and graphics for typical office applications and as a bonus, it's quiet and fast Buy one now from Computer!

chaired the annual meeting for Stanstead South church held the evening of February 17 in the Fellowship hall.The attendance was small, probably due to zero weather temperatures.The meeting was mainly hearing of reports from the organizations and the nominations committee, and was opened with prayer by Rev.Keith Eddy, pastor of the United Steeples.Rev.Eddy’s report notd 1989 will be a year of change.After his 35 years in active ministry he will be retiring June 30 of this year.As a result a pastoral relations committee was set up composed of three members from each Stanstead South; Wesley and Centenary United churches meetings with Rev.Diane Blanchard.The three representing Stanstead South are Ronald Nourse, Alice Beadle and Ma-delyn Curtis.The first meeting of this group was February 21 in Stanstead South Church Fellowship Hall.Statistics showed that Rev.Eddy had officiated at eight baptisms; nine marriages and 20 funerals during the past year.The church’s financial statement, (all reports were in printed forms) was prepared and presented by the treasurer Ronald Nourse.This was not entirely good as there was a deficit in the past year.Lloyd Selby, chairman for the Board of Management noted considerable work done on the driveway of the church with a special drive held towards paying for this.Much of the work on smaller jobs were done by two members of the
