MONTREAL — Federal spending on health and medical services will continue to rise despite budget cuts in other areas.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney told a group of medical researchers Sunday.Addressing the Pan American Conference on Medical Education, Mulroney said the federal government plans to spend $108 billion on health care in the next five years, a $25 billion increase over the past five years.“Canadians recognize that a healthy nation is a strong nation.” Mulroney told the approximately 200 researchers assembled at a downtown hotel Sunday afternoon.Mulroney also announced the creation of a royal commission of inquiry on new reproductive technologies.“This commission will be charged with the sobering responsibility of reviewing the reproductive technologies and their implications for Canadian society.” he said In his speech.Mulroney stressed the link between health and the en vironment and said the federal government plans to introduce leg islation to improve water quality throughout the country “In many nations the provision of water, free of bacterial infee tion.isa major objective.” he said “Once clean water is available, the general level of health in the society soars.” PLANS CLEANUP Also on the environmental front, Mulroney said his government plans to enforce a cleanup of the Great Lakes and St Lawrence riv er as well as of dangerous land sites across Canada He also said his government sup ports an agreement by SO nations last week m Helsinki to phase out the use of ehlorofluorocarbons (CFC'st, a cause of ozone depletion, by the year 2(XH) “Ultimately, there is only one environment, a global environ ment,” he said “It is common to all people.It is the responsibility of all nations " Mulroney said lus government hopes to transform Canadians “from passive patients of the health care system into active participants and decision makers in the care of their own health.” He reminded the audience that his government has taken steps to combat drug and sexual abuse.Health is rapidly becoming not just the preserve of the medical community but of the community at large," he said Election may soften new Quebec budget By Donald McKenzie QUEBEC (CP) — Increased corporate taxes, incentives for small businesses, and a massive reduction in government spending — these are just some of the measures people would like to see in the Quebec budget to be tabled by Finance Minister Gerard D.Lévesque on Tuesday “Lévesque’s either going to have to cut expenses or find further revenues and with hospital budgets cut deep into the bone, I'd expect the province to raise revenues,” said Tom Gillespie, of the Montreal Board of Trade.Gillespie suggested that Lévesque has some leeway to hike corporate taxes, which he said a e among the lowest in Canada.Fernand Daoust, secretary-general of the Quebec Federation of Labor, the province's largest labor federation, doesn’t think the budget will be draconian, with a provincial election widely expected in the fall.“I’d be the most surprised man in the world if the government increases the tax burden of individual Quebecers,” said Daoust, who urged Lévesque to increase corporate taxes.“We’d also like to see Mr.Lévesque take steps to get Quebec on the way to full employment,” Daoust said as he called on the finance minister to help financially strapped hospitals, universities and day-care centres.SLASH SPENDING But Richard Groome, senior vice-president of institutional equities with Geoffrion Leclerc Inc., W'ants Lévesque to slash spending by between five per cent and 10 per cent in every department.Gerard D.Lévesque.Gets lots of advise.“It has to be across the board because it isn’t fair to cut some departments by 50 per cent or 30 per cent and not others,” Groome said.Such cuts would make Quebecers understand that the government is serious about coming to terms with its financial debt and civil servants realize that the government is not a “bottomless pit.” he added.Government spending estimates released in March indicate that Quebec will spend $33.2 billion in 1989-90, up 5.8 from the year ended last March 31.And Lévesque has said that the recent federal budget will cost Quebec about $200 million this year and will make it harder for Quebec to manage its financial affairs.Ghislain Dufour, president of the Conseil du patronat du Quebec, the province’s largest employers’ group, believes Lévesque must lower the $1.6-billion provincial deficit and announce a five-year plan to reduce it to zero.Lévesque must encourage the development of small- and medium-sized businesses to boost employment and allow employees to have lower taxes if they purchase shares in the company they work for, said Dufour.Dufour also called for spending cuts but said health and education areas should be spared the axe.TOBACCO TAX A spokesman for the tobacco industry, which blasted Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s recent increase of 50 cents on a pack of 25 cigarettes, said tobacco companies are expecting some kind of tax hike on their products.“Smokers are willing to pay their fair share of taxes but we re hoping that any increase will be reasonable,” said Linda Morris, a spokesman for the Canadian Tobacco Manufacturers Council.Morris, a non-smoker, said the average price in Quebec for a pack of 25 King Size before the federal budget was $3.31.That included a federal tax of 96 cents and a Quebec tax of $1.13.But the $3.31 still trailed several other provinces, including Saskatchewan, where the average price for a pack of 25 King Size before Wilson’s budget was $3.93 — the most expensive in Canada.But Morris wondered how long Quebec can continue to raise cigarette prices.“There is a point of diminishing return.The government’s goal is to collect more tax and I think they hit a point where they start collecting fewer taxes.” Five brave youngsters KiroRIWlRANT SIMEON f* XT 9 y ?» à ' Two Pathfinders and three Girl Guides braved the

a small step for most people, but the distance from Ottawa to Montreal has become a giant leap for the country’s space scientists.Two of the top men directing Canada’s efforts in space quit last week over the federal cabinet’s decision to put headquarters of the Canadian Space Agency in the Montreal suburb of St-Hubert.And many others in Ottawa said this week they’re ready to follow.The scientists, mainly anglophones, said they’re worried about language, Quebec’s never-say-die nationalism and uprooting their families.Those quitting include Roy VanKoughnett, in charge of the agency’s space research and astronaut programs, and Keith Raney, assistant director of the Radarsat project to design a satellite to measure the country’s natural resources.Even the man in charge of persuading other scientists to make the move is trying to figure out his own logistics.“I’m committed to making the space agency happen, and my job will function out of Montreal, ” says Gary Lindberg, vice-president for corporate services andresearch.“Butasafamily unit we have not sorted out how we’re going to cope with my job being in Montreal.We haven't had time to, frankly.” WILL COMMUTE Lindberg’s situation is typical.“We’re all very comfortable.We’ve all got friends, family, spouses and children.” But, he added, “space is fun.” Lindberg and others say they’ll commute to Montreal from their Ottawa homes, at least initially.“You can find a whole bunch of people who work in Ottawa and live in Montreal.And the reverse is also true.The physical proximity is such that that’s not an impossible hardship.” Still, signs of enthusiasm for the impending move are not exactly legion.An internal poll of 22 scientists in the Space Mechanics division showed only three are ready to move to Montreal from their labs in Shirley’s Bay, a half hour drive west of Ottawa.Ten say they won’t go; nine others aren't sure.“It is the toughest decision I will have had to make in my profession al career,” said Howard Reynaud, manager of the agency’s Spacecraft and Robotic Control Systems division.“That’s a tough combination when your career and your personal life are caught up in the same decision.Normally you can do one at a time.” For 20 years, Reynaud has been designing and building satellites and other space equipment in and around the government’s David Florida Laboratory — “the birthplace of space,” as he calls it, referring to its leading role in developing Canadian satellites.The creation of the agency elated him, he said “This is something I’d waited 20 years for .(though) personally it's the worst possible time for me to have to relocate.“But basically 1 have two choices — move to Montreal, or lose my job.” hI will go to the end with this thing’ Canadian sues Swiss officials for accusing him in money-laundering scheme By Mario Possamai The Canadian Press Five countries, two Lebanese brothers, a mysterious document, shadowy deals and allegations of money-laundering.The stuff of a modern thriller?No.the intriguing elements swirling around a $15-million lawsuit filed by Arman Haser, a wealthy but little-known Canadian businessman, over his detention last year in Switzerland and Monaco.Haser, 50, born in Istanbul and now living in Toronto, is a former pharmaceutical executive who negotiates government tenders in the Third World.In a gravelly voice that easily moves from English to French and then fo Italian, Haser outlines his lawsuit.He says Swiss officials defamed him.exceeded their authority and forced him to deposit $4.1 million with the mountainous.Italianspeaking canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland The lawsuit, filed in Toronto last December, names Dick Marty, the former Swiss prosecutor who cracked a huge money-laundering scheme, as a main player.Swiss officials allege two Lebanese brothers, Jean and Bar-kev Magharian, laundered $1.3 billion in criminal profits through Swiss banks between 1985 and 1988.The ensuing uproar led to the resignation of the Swiss justice minister, Elisabeth Kopp, and to new rules to outlaw moneylaundering and prevent criminals from taking advantage of Swiss banks.Marty’s involvement in the Haser case was “a unique excess of prosecutorial authority in a country where those excesses are allowed,” said Joshua Liswood, Haser’s lawyer, in an interview from Toronto.Swiss officials deny any wrongdoing and will go to court in June in Toronto seeking dismissal “Even if it was entertained by the courts here, it is not supported by facts and it seems to be merely an attempt to circumvent the proper channels in the Swiss legal system,” said Bernard Lette, the Toronto lawyer representing Marty and the canton BAFFLING TWISTS The suit is full of baffling twists and turns, punctuated by the kinds of ambiguities more often found in fiction.“I’ve got nothing to hide,” Haser said in a telephone interview.“I will go to the end with this thing." Initially, the Swiss suspected Haser of being involved in the Magharians’ money-laundering operation The allegations were made in an extradition order the Swiss issued last summer against Haser, then living in Monaco, said his statement of claim The order was withdrawn, but not before Haser had spent 10 days in the Mediterranean principality.No charges were laid How did it all begin?Haser was hired in September 1985 by a Swiss merchant bank.Rimondfin, to help raise $200 million for some copper mining interests in Zambia, in southern Africa.The deal fell through.The Zam bians ended up about $14 million in the hole and cried foul.They went to court in Switzerland to retrieve the money.During the subsequent court case, Rimondfin presented an un usual document from an obscure financial concern in Beirut to prove it had met its commitments Swiss authorities charge that the Magharians forged the document at Haser’s request and that Zambia was defrauded.Haser now is the subject of a preliminary investigation into the Zambian deal and the Beirut document.Under Swiss law, an investi gating judge examines a case — much like a preliminary hearing in Canada — to decide whether there’s enough evidence to send it to trial.Haser denies any involvement, saying he ended his relationship with Rimondfin in October 1986, when the deal collapsed.He was paid $280,000, SOUGHT HELP Haser said the Magharians approached him in 1987 claiming to be in the money exchange business.They asked his help to get a special Swiss residency and work permit.Haser said he introduced them to the head of Rimondfin, thinking he might be able to aid them.After his release in Monte Carlo last summer Haser voluntarily went to Ticino hoping to clear his name.“They said ‘you’ll be there for around two working days,”’ he said Instead, he was detained for 21 days.According to Haser, he was never taken before a judicial body, no hail order was made by any Swiss court officials and he was coerced into posting $4.1 million The money is being held in trust by Ticino authorities.Of the total, $100,000 is bail and $4 million is a deposit to be held until the Zam- bian case is decided.“It was specifically put to Haser that his release could be secured as opposed to what might be their inclination to deport him to Zam bia for questioning,” said Haser’s lawyer, Liswood.Haser’s voice acquires a deep, emotional tone when he discusses his detention; “I’m just a guy who’s boiling inside.” Swiss authorities tell a different tale, arguing that proper procedures were followed.They say that under their legal system, a pro secutor is an independent magistrate and therefore a court official Mr.Haser appeared before Dr.Marty as a magistrate and was represented by three lawyers,” said Lette, the Toronto lawyer for Marty and the canton of Ticino.What happens to the $4 million will be decided when Haser’s case goes to court, he said.“The authorities there are very concerned about their banking system having been used once again for illegitimate purposes.” 2_The RECORD—Monday.May 15, 19«9 The Townships Beconl You can get a lot accomplished^ North Hatley march for money helps third-world development r*»fi ?*«n I ! John Foster (photo at left) led the Third World Rally with a cheery tune on his recorder and drum.NORTH HATLEY (RL) — About 50 people turned up Saturday for a Third World Rally in the town of North Hatley, raising almost $800 to support overseas development projects.The crowd of mostly children walked two and a half kilometres through downtown North Hatley — from the community centre to the Anglican church.The march, one of several at the same time throughout the Eastern Townships, was organized by the community outreach group at St.Barnabas Anglican church.While the marches have been an annual event in the Townships for about 20 years, Saturday’s was the first in the town of North Hatley.Proceeds support ten projects in the third world, chosen by local organizers.March organizer

they set out to raise money and awareness for the third world.X This goes to show that if you get grassroots from one community to grassroots from another community you can get a lot accomplished,” Monk said.So far the rally has raised $768.75 and organizers are still counting.The Guides collected at least $155, the United Church $102 and St.Barnabas nearly $200.The rest came from the marchers who were sponsored by neighbors and friends.Monk grabbed $10 from each of his law partners.“I got $59 and that was without trying,” said marcher Barbara Mathews.The marchers ended up at St.Barnabas quenching their thirst with orange drink and coffee from a fast-food chain.Most are willing to do it again and are planning to turn the rally into an annual tradition.“Next year we’ll work on it a

saying it will threaten 10 per cent of 4300 local agricultural producers — about 430 enterprises.The farmers are blaming the Canada-U.S.free trade pact and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) for most of the financial problems Finance Minister Michael Wilson has created for them in his budget.The Union des Producteurs Agricoles supported by milk, poultry, pork and beef producers and backed up by veterinaries, agronomes, millers and others who make their living from farming, are asking Ottawa to reconsider some of the measures in Wilson’s budget — which they say will cripple hundreds of Township farmers.The UPA said more than 400 farmers mostly smaller and most recently established, will be in serious financial trouble if “restrictive” measures in the budget are Whatever goes in must come out.Please don’t feed the seagulls cuvourinnizS' (m i_ Soacnill Environment Quebec and the ers because they contribute t SHERBROOKE (RL) — Seagull excrement has been identified as a major source of pollution last summer on beaches in Magog, Roxton Pond and five other municipalities in the province.The municipal beach at Merry Point in Magog and one in Yamas-ka provincial park near Roxton Pond were two of seven sanctioned swimming spots which continued to have pollution problems even after significant efforts had been made to clean up the water.Both Townships beaches had to be closed several times last summer due to high concentrations of fecal coliform in the water.Environment Quebec and the municipalities commissioned a study on their unstable waters after complaints by the municipalities in 1987.The results of the study indicated a relatively new factor in the deterioration of water at the beaches — seagull excrement.INFECTIONS, DISEASE Analysis of water affected by seagull droppings showed a high quantity of fecal coliform and other dangerous bacteria which are responsible for some skin infections and diseases.Environment Quebec added that the problem is worsened by the negligence of beach owners and us- ers because they contribute to the increasing number of gulls.To control seagull pollution the environment ministry is asking beachgoers to not leave picnic leftovers on the beach for the birds.They are also asking owners of beaches and nearby snack-bars and restaurants to improve cleanliness and thus reduce food sources for the troublesome biids.applied.TAKEN HOSTAGE “The Wilson budget is based on free trade and GATT,” complained Sherbrooke UPA president Jacques Blais.“They are putting international competition on the backs of local farmers.” “We must be able to continue to produce without being taken hostage by other countries,” Blais continued.The UPA says over the next three years budget measures which cut government programs for farmers will mean a loss of $35 million in aid in the Sherbrooke area — about $11 million just in the milk industry.Among other things the UPA condemned a federal decision to freeze support prices to dairy farmers for the next 20 months while GATT tries to negotiate an agriculture trade code.Jacques Dion, head of the local milk producers union, said this is unfair because Quebec dairy farmers are not contributing to world surpluses and are already suffering from low prices.“We are short $1.32 per hectolitre to meet our production costs,” Dion said.“It is therefore inconceivable to continue with this price until February 1991.” Dion said budget measures will mean milk producers will earn an average of $8500 less this year.SACRIFICED “We will do our share like every good citizen,” Dion said.“But we refuse to be sacrificed on the altar of free trade and the GATT.” Blais said lost earnings for beef producers will average about $15,000.Poultry and pork producers will be hit ever harder said Noël Lamontagne of the poultry union and pork producer Jean Duquette.who w'ere also on hand for Friday’s press conference.______ Lamontagne said the poultry industry is in a critical dead end, competing with Amercian poutry at 43c a pound compared to Canadian prices of about $1.Blais admitted that all Canadians are hit by tax increases in the budget but said farmers are suffering from general tax increases as well as the abolition of protective measures — which he said are intended to minimize damage from government policies.“And GATT comes and hits us over the head with a truncheon, over and above the Wilson budget,” Blais said.“We get beaten up double.” “We cannot tolerate paying as comsumers as well as producers.” Blais said the UPA plans to exert some pressure on local MPs over the next couple of weeks.And if that doesn’t work they have not dismissed the idea of a demonstration on Parliament Hill.A clean beach has a better chance of generating clean water, junior environment minister Gaston Blackburn said when he released the report in Saint-C abriel-de-Brandon Friday.Knives, club highlight city weekend SHERBROOKE (RL) — Two men ended up in hospital

Paradis said He credited the active involvement of the public with maintaining and improving the 140 bed hospital as a "full service'' institution CROSSED THE LINE?Paradis said Health Minister Lavoie-Roux broke with government policy in releasing funds for the new ward “It's a policy that no new funds be released to institutions which are in a defecit position." Paradis said Madame Lavoie-Roux recognized this as a special circumstance " André Martel President of the BMP council of physicians reminded the health minister good-naturedly that the new unit was only the first step in a four part plan to improve services at the hospital.Martel said the hospital will continue its efforts to recruit new specialists — particularly a pediatrician and psychiatrist — purchase technologically advanced equipment.and construct the second ‘They had to cut down 10 beds’ — nurses Health minister misses pickets COWANSVILLE (SM) — Health Minister Thérèse Lavoie-Roux did not stop to chat with some thirty demonstrating nurses dressed in black and singing protest songs as she entered BMP Hospital to officially open a new emergency wing Friday — international nurses day.Before Lavoie-RoUx s arrival Brome Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis spoke with the protesters, advising them that tense negotiations had re-opened earlier that day with a new government proposal.Denise Tardif, president of the Eastern Townships Nurses Federation, said unless the government comes up with a satisfactory offer, nurses will step up the pressure by withdrawing more services.CUT DOWN Josée Haipin, president of the BMP nurses local, said a limited number of non-union personnel have been filling in for nurses who have refused work overtime at BMP Hospital.“Last week they had to cut down 10 beds on the medical ward, and last night they closed the recovery room early because there was only one nurse on duty,” she said.Ha'pin claims salaries are too low for the work and responsibility nurses are asked to accept.For example, she said it is common for nurses to give details of a patient’s condition to a doctor over the phone with the doctor prescribing treatment and medication based on that information.“This is a big responsibility and it also takes a lot of time”, Haipin said.MORE THAN USUAL According to Haipin.BMP rivals other hospitals in the province with its high proportion of part-time nurses.“At BMP.76 per cent of the nurses are part-time while the provincial average is already high at 60 per cent”, she said.The protesting nurses also consider the new 11-bed emergency ward inadequate to meet the growing needs of the hospital.“Every day we have between 12 and 15 patients waiting in emergency,” Haipin said.“We would have preferred to have sufficient funds at the beginning to fulfill our needs.” At the negotiating table Friday, the government offered to add $26.5 million to the existing offer which, in addition to a global salary increase of 4 per cent, would raise the weekend rate by 4 per cent and the rate paid to night shift employees by 10 per cent.floor of the emergency ward The first floor was built to allow the addition of a second.PUBLIC HELP Lavoie-Roux said she is confi dent that w ith the active participa tion of the public, the hospital will continue to prosper She noted that hospitals in both Sherbrooke ,inrl Cowansville have been leaders in establishing semi-independent foundations to help defray costs borne by the government.She also congratulated staff and directors of the hospital on provid ing services in both languages “1 haven t had a chance to look into the history of this hospital, but if my guess is right, it w as founded, like so many other institutions in the pro\ nice, by anglophones." she said This was confirmed by many gathered for the opening ceremony.who said that BMP hospital has always provided services m both French and English.TAKING THE HEAT: Eore-checking

have been organized to mark the 25th anniversary of the town of Bromont — the flourishing industrial and tourist centre which found its roots in the modest village of West Shefford a quarter century ago.Pierre Bellefleur, mayor of the town of 6000 since 1982, said Thursday the anniversary festivities are an opportunity for all Bromont residents to celebrate the achievements of the last 25 years.“Rome was not built in a day,” Bellefleur said, adding it took two and a half decades to achieve the level of success Bromont enjoys today.HIGH TECH Bromont has become the location of major high technology industries, notably IBM Canada Prisoner stabbed Boivin headed a number of industrial commissions at the national and international levels.He was a founding member and president of the

been a key element in the success of our town,” noted Bellefleur.“For this reason we wish to allow all residents to share in the celebration.” By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE - Last Monday was decidedly different for Cowansville social worker Michael Caluori.Normally when a youngster in difficulty requires placement outside the home, Caluori’s day begins early in the morning.Ten hours and 200 kilometres later he has usually found shelter for the child — for one night.All that changed this week with the opening of a new group home in Cowansville for young English-speaking people.Establishment of a group home for young anglophones has been a favorite hobbyhorse of the Brome-Lake social worker since 1980.Caluori is also a Brome Lake town councillor.“It’s true many people hounded me for this home”, Brome Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis said during opening ceremonies Friday for the new home.“But Michael was the hound that caught and bit me.” NEVER GAVE UP' Former Townshippers Association president Heather Keith-Ryan added that while the entire E.T.anglo community got behind the project, “Michael Caluori was Michael Caluori.‘The hound that caught Pierre Paradis' and made Cowansville group home a reality.tenacious he just never gave up”.Quebec Health Minister Thérèse Lavoie-Roux officially opened the new home, which will provide housing for eight young anglophones unable to live in their own homes.Lavoie-Roux offered three pieces of advice to the staff and directors of the home : • Never lose sight of the fact the children should stay at the home for the shortest possible time.• Include the family in all efforts to return the child to its own family home.• Ensure continued acceptance in the community of both the home and the children who stay there.Lavoie-Roux congratulated the directors of the new home on gain- ing the support and acceptance of the community for the new home.CONGRATULATIONS “This is not the case everywhere, and you are to be congratulated,” she said Speaking to one of the six residents currently staying at the home, Lavoie-Roux said she hopes that “you will find here what you’ve been looking for.” The new home is the only home in the province established exclusively for English language youths.“This is not a question of lan guage, ” Lavoie Roux said, “it’s a matter of need.” Prior to the opening, troubled young people were transported to Montreal for placement after a lengthy and complex process.k The paths, if not the swords, of Heather-Keith-Ryan and Pierre Para crossed hnday at the opening of a Cowansville group home.Earn townshippers Association president Keith-Ryan is planning to run as independent candidate in Brome-Missisquoi against the popular l.ibe cabinet minister.Both smiled through the encounter.‘A key element in our success^ Bromont: Locals first at party timt Inmate to face trial for Brome Lake: Smoke alarms a must Council shook heads but COWANSVILLE - Jacques Paulin, 28, an inmate of the Cowansville penitentiary acting as his own lawyer, was sent to trial following a preliminary hearing here this week.Associate Chief Judge Jean-Pierre Bonin, who was trying to clear the case load, heard the inquiry on an unscheduled date, and ruled that Crown Attorney Henry Keyserlingk had produced sufficient proof for trial Two members of the penitentia- ry staff testified concerning events in the reception area of the medium-security penitentiary March 5 when the accused stabbed his victim with a home-made dagger.The victim.Denis Langlois, 27, also a prisoner, said he was asleep at the moment of the assault and could not give any reason for it.“I was stabbed 18 times in the back and 1 was never sufficiently awake to know who stabbed me." Langlois said.“As far as Paulin knife attack goes, 1 hadn 't spoken to him during the four days after we had been transferred to Cowansville, and he appeared to be a pleasant chap." None of the prison staff saw the assault and Paulin voluntarily turned the weapon over to members of the prison staff.Paulin renounced jury trial and elected to be tried by a judge of Quebec Court Judge Bonin set June 15 to establish a date to proceed KNOWLTON (SM) — At the same time councillors on the Brome Lake town council were presenting arguments at last week’s meeting against a $50 fine to enforce mandatory smoke detectors in all town of Brome Lake homes, they were apparently raising their hands in favor of the motion.According to town clerk Lisa Merovitz, when all was said and done, afterthe vote, council agreed to impose the fine — but only on those residents who fail to comply with the regulation within 30 days of a fire chief’s inspection The bylaw requiring every household to have a smoke detector will take effect upon publication in the next few weeks, and ran- said ‘yes’ dom inspections by the fire chief will be carried out immediately afterward At last week’s meeting councillors differed on means the town could use to ensure compliance with the bylaw.But they were unanimous that every home must be equipped with the life-saving device The KECORD—Monday, May la, 19HÜ I !£-• « t; I | | I Blame for pollution lies with humans The Quebec environment ministry made public on Friday results of a study on bacterial pollution conducted on water samples of seven Quebec public beaches.Merry Point and Magog's municipal beaches were among those analysed Much to no one’s surprise, the results confirmed bacterial bird droppings were a major contributor to high pollution counts in the water.The same pollution which forced the beaches to close on Lake Memphremagog last summer But is the seagull entirely to blame?It is not •eally the bird's fault it was given the runs by mother nature.It is people who provide the food on which it feasts and later fruitfully multiplies.People’s bad habits encourage the population explosion of seagulls.The blame lies not with the bird but with the sloppy human Restaurant owners in particular carelessly chuck refuse in open-air bins for birds to pick at.They can be more careful where and how they throw away their leftovers.And covered garbage cans that overflow defeat the hygene purpose.Some restaurants dispose of their garbage quite meticulously, however MacDonald’s for instance, follows government regulations to the Tee.They wrap and rewrap old burgers, then throw them into sealed containers.So why s there always a seagull perched atop the gol-len arches sign, licking its beak?Chances are omeone left the last bite of their Big Mac siting on a park bench, and the seagull swooped down and nabbed it.People have to stop leaving their sandwich crusts and edible refuse hanging around the ; beaches And biodegradable food is no excuse to not throw food away in a garbage can.» Bird excrement is a public health hazard which can cause disease and infection.And if some people were not so lazy, bird droppings would be less of a problem.ann McLaughlin Klarsfeld: German woman hunts Nazis By John Davidson MONTH KAL (CPi - Reate Klarsfeld looks like a 50-year old mother of two children, which is exactly what she is Except that Klarsfeld has been arrested in Buenos Aires.La Pa?Prague Paris.Berlin.Bonn and Warsaw and has been threatened with assassination at least twice.She has also been involved in kidnappings and bomb attempts and was the dominant factor in bringing such ex-Nazis as Klaus Barbie to justice.i was born a German; I am not a Jew, yet for the past 20 years 1 have been trying to accomplish some thing to counteract the atrocities which the Nazis perpetrated on the Jews,” Klarsfeld told an audience of more than 1000 at the Canadian Jewish Congress 22nd general assembly in Montreal.The challenge of being a second-generation German - who followed after Hitler, Himmler and Eichmann — is to face our shame in front of the Jews," she said.Klarsfeld says she was educated in Germany knowing virtually nothing about the Nazi war crimes during the Second World War.She moved to Paris in 1960 to become a housekeeper and babysitter in return tor free room and board.Three years later, she met Serge Klarsfeld, a French Jew who began to inform her about what had happened in Europe between 1933 and 1945.when the Nazis attempted to exterminate the Jewish population HUNTED NAZIS She became so disturbed over what she heard that she took it upon herself to become a one person guerilla unit to hunt down ex-Nazi war criminals.1 decided that in order to be ashamed of my people, in order to atone for the crimes perpetrated by Germans.I had to take action rather than just put dossiers in front of cautious bureaucrats.I may have performed illegal activities, I may have been sent to jail, but it was done for the Jews,” Even Klaus Barbie admits that Beate Klarsfeld's obsession was the cause of his extradition from Bolivia to France to stand trial for the war crimes he committed which earned him the name the Butcher of Lyon.¦ All my troubles started when that Klarsfeld woman came to Bolivia," Barbie has been quoted as saying from his jail cell where he is serving a life sentence for crimes against humanity Barbie, a Gestapo chief in Lyon, France, during the war.was jailed in 1986 for his role in rounding up and arranging the transportation of Jews to death camps.Before Barbie, Klarsfeld had pursued Kurt George Kiesinger, the chancellor of West Germany in the mid-1960s.HAD PROOF She said she had proof that Kiesinger had worked for Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels and she vowed to slap him in the face for his Nazi collaboration.Her promise came true in November 1968 when she approached a podium where Kiesinger was speaking.No one suspected the pretty young woman with an ulterior motive until she raised her hand and slapped the German chancellor in the face several times shouting Nazi.Nazi war criminal!" In the 1969 German election, Kiesinger was defeated as chancellor.“Our next crusade is against the Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner, now living in Syria." Klarsfeld told her audience in Montreal."There he sits m Damascus — one hour away from Jerusalem and he thinks he is safe.” she says quietly "We know his house, we know when it is guarded and we are planning to get him The only thing we don’t know is how long it will take.” When Klarsfeld finished speaking, the audience at the Canadian Jewish Congress erupted in applause.Klarsfeld sat down, the fire went out of her eyes and she began to look like a mother of two again M v God.looks can be deceiving.” said a member of the audience Where does she get such courage?The Voice of the Eastern

Nationalisms may lose elections and subside They never die out.The language compact engineered by former Frime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau in Canada in the 1970s over- came the crisis of Quebec nationalism and French-speaking minority rights elsewhere in Canada.The provincial nationalists party lost its referendum on separatism and then in power in Quebec.The passion went out of the issue, it seemed, for a generation Canada is bilingual coast-to-eoast and French is dominant in Quebec But now this social compact is starting to unravel.Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, an English-speaker from Quebec, got the provincial premiers to agree to something called the Meeeh Lake pact, which compromised the Trudeau principles of bilingualism by recognizing Quebec as a “distinct society " With the moderate French speaking Liberal, Robert Bourassa.governing Quebec, all seemed smooth ThenCanada's Supreme Court ruled Quebec’s ban on English language signs an unconstitutional violation of freedom of expression.Mr Bourassa decided to re-enact the law.and three English-speaking ministers quit his provincial government.English-speaking provinces which only relucantly accepted bilingualism — such as the court-ordered right of a speeder in Saskatchewan to see the motor vehicle code in French and be tried in French—now threaten to renounce the Meech Lake pact, which requires ratification by all ten provinces by June 1990.Mr.Bourassa is in a quandry His caving-in on language could revive his Parti Québécois opponents Still, the onus is on Quebecers to have more confidence in their undoubted cultural survival and dominance of Quebec.A few bilingual outdoor signs, with English in smaller print than French, would help the tourist from Maryland and not undermine French domination If Quebecers cared more for their own rights across Canada and the rights of French-speaking minorities in Manitoba and New Brunswick, they would find bilingual signs a fair trade-off.Quebec really could humor Canada's Supreme Court without diluting its unquestioned distinctiveness.Reporters should take happy pill Dear Editor, In reference to the article of Unity Orford appearing in The Record, May 9, 1989, your writer (RL) referred to the Committee for the Formation of the Unity Party of Quebec as a formed anglo-rights party.Please realize this party when formed

of Vietnamese boat people By Peter Eng BANGKOK (AP> — Pirates have killed scores if not hundreds of Vietnamese boat people this year in Southeast Asian waters.Children have been clubbed into the sea, women and young girls have been raped or abducted and men have been shot or beaten, according to official accounts."The level of violence, the viciousness of attacks has gone up .even though the number of attacks has gone down,” said a western aid official.The pirate attacks began with the flight of Vietnamese from their homeland with the communist takeover in 1975 but in recent years they had been in decline.Generally the pirates are after the refugees' possessions, which sometimes include gold or other valuables.On April 16, pirates off Malaysia set fire to a refugee boat and killed 130 Vietnamese in a rampage of rape, shootings and clubbings, relief officials in Malaysia said BAMMED BOATS Survivors of other attacks have told of scores of people drowning in single attacks as the pirates rammed Viet- namese boats and used hammers, sticks and other objects to beat adults and children back into the water when they tried to cling to pirate boats.More than 100 people are missing and presumed dead from two attacks in March, according to the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees.On March 19, three pirate boats with about 15 crewmembers attacked a boat with 46 Vietnamese on board.They abducted 10 women, then rammed the Vietnamese vessel until it capsized.A passing vessel rescued the only known survivor.On March 25, pirates abducted as many as 30 women and children after looting a boat with 58 Vietnamese on board.Armed with knives and metal objects, the pirates beat the other passengers and threw them overboard.A teenage boy and an old man who floated to an oil rig were the only known survivors.ONE SURVIVOR UN officials in Malaysia said they only recently learned of the April 16 massacre from a lone survivor, a 22-year old man they identified as Pham Ngoc Minh Hung.They said he told them he fled Viet nam on April 14 on a motorized wooden boat with about 130 refugees, including 20 children.Two days later, pirates from two boats boarded the vessel, shot and killed its two pilots and its mechanic and raped some, if not all, of the 15 to 20 women and girls as young as 12, a UN statement said.Then the pirates set the boat ablaze.“In the ensuing panic, many refugees grabbed buoys and jerrycans and floats and plunged into the sea,” the UN statement added.The pirates “used sticks to prevent refugees from clinging on floating objects Those who resisted were shot at.” “It is one of the worst incidents of piracy we have heard of,” said Jean Marie Fakhouri.the UN refugees commissioner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital.MOSTLY THAIS Western officials say most pirates are Thais in the South China Sea.the Gulf of Thailand and waters near Indonesia Pirates have attacked Vietnamese boat people since they began fleeing the communist takeover in April 1975.In recent years, however, the attacks had been steadily decreasing with the strengthening of a Thai anti-piracy program co-ordinated by the UN refugee commission office and funded by western countries, mostly the Un ited States.Some western officials say the pirates were emboldened by the Thai government policy early last year of repelling boat people from Thai shores as a deterrent to others.Aid officials said more than 100 people were killed in such pushoffs from Thailand.Thailand claimed in April 1988 it had restored asylum for the Viet namese.But sources say authorities since then have sent thousands of them away and directed them south to Malaysia.Thai government officials would not comment on the record and dismissed suggestions that government policy had encouraged the violence.Western officials believe that most assailants are “pirates of opportun ity” — fishermen who chance upon Vietnamese boats and cannot resist an easy plunder.In 1988, authorities arrested 21 suspected pirates.Fourteen were found guilty and given sentences ranging from six to 50 years, the maximum under Thai law.r The RECORD—Monday.May 15.19!»—5 Farm and Business —____gp-i uscam Liquidation sales will shrink property value Requirements of an Orderly Liquidation: Since an orderly liquidation at death will be the way in which many sole proprietorships are sold, it is important to discuss the requirements of an orderly liquidation.They are ilia properly drawn will and (2) life insurance on the proprietor’s life.(1)—Properly Prepared Will: The proprietor’s will, which authorizes the disposition of the proprietor’s business interest, should contain broad powers.It should cover the folllowing points : (a) —The executor should be given the power to sell the business at a public or private sale, to determine not only the purchase price but the mode of payment, to dispense with collateral requirements if necessary, and the power to deal with persons related to the deceased, if necessary, in order to complete a sale.(b) —The power to retain the business temporarily also should be given.The executor may have to retain the business to await a sale in a more advantageous market.An essentail collateral power is the ability to borrow on the security of the business assets, in order to provide working capital or to raise funds to pay estate obligations.(c) —The executor also should have the power to change the form of business — i.e., allow the executor to join a partnership or incorporate the business.A change in the business form may aid the eventual disposition of the business as a going concern. «IcsifiiHql a M|)671 On April 19, members of the Wooden Shoe Birthday Club gathered at Sanborn Place, Ayer’s Cliff, to celebrate the birthdays of
