price-fixing talks with provincial agreed to raise domestic crude oil prices $2 a barrel this year There was a “strong possibility” that there would be a similar increase the following year “They paid no attention whatsoever to our views,” Leonard Evans of Manitoba Consumer price index figures due today OTTAWA consumer figures due expected to (CP) — New price index out today are show that the inflation rate continued to rise during April, but at a slower rate than earlier this year Food prices, particularly for fruit and vegetables and for coffee, will be the main influences behind an expected increase of about six-tenths of one per cent in the consumer price index, government economists say The index is the most widely used measure of inflation That would mean the inflation rate is rising at an annual rate of about 7 6 per cent The inflation rate began climbing last December, increasing by a 5.8 per-cent annual rate from 5.6 per cent in November It has continued a steady rise since—to 6.1 per cent in January.6.7 per cent in February and to 7.4 per cent March RUNNING AHEAD The monthly increase in the rate of inflation now is running well ahead of comparable increases last year Today’s bad news on inflation comes only two days after the release of monthly unemployment figures that showed the jobless rate at its worst since Statistics Canada started recording the information in 1953 The federal agency said 8 3 per cent of the work force was out of jobs in April There were a total of 914.000 jobless, not counting those so discouraged they have stepped actively searching for work Federal economists say rising energy prices also influenced the April inflation rate, although not as much as in March At the beginning of March prices for gasoline and home-heating oil rose by between three and 4.5 cents a gallon.CONTROLS SEEM TO HELP The latest inflation figures will focus critical attention once more on the selective wage and price controls program imposed in October, 1975 When the antiinflation program was put into effect, inflation was at a 10.6 per-cent annual rate against the move A $4 a barrel increase during the next two years would boost gasoline prices 14 cents a gallon and home heating oil.12.4 cents a gallon Although there would be further private talks bet ween Ottawa and individual provinces before any new price increases are announced.Gillespie said consumers likely face the $4 rise because both oil-producing provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, accept the price EACH SIX MONTHS Gillespie told a news conference after the one-day session that the increases would probably be spaced every six months beginning this July 1.They would amount to 3.5 and 3.1 cents a gallon for gasoline and heating oil.respectively, each time He added that governments wanted assurances from oil-rich Alberta that it will speed development of new oil supplies in return for higher prices Energy Minister Don Getty of Alberta later gave that assurance The tentative seven-province agreement on new oil prices came as a surprise Ministers entered the meeting—a followup to similar talks last month-predicting that no consensus would emerge I^ater, however.Gillespie said the majority of provinces agreed that “we can’t ignore the reality that we need a higher price to ensure new supplies and conservation.” Evans and James Taylor of Ontario argued that up unemployment For the average family, a $2 a barrel increase in the price of oil this year will add $44 to annual gasoline bills and another $40 to $62 for heating oil Consumers who heat their homes with natural gas could expect to pay an ext ra $421o $56 during the year ENDS NEGOTIATING Gillespie said a pricing mechanism covering more than one year would eliminate the need for annual negotiating sessions, although there would still be a need for brief ministerial reviews each year His view was shared by John Messer of Saskat chew an, who described the agreement as a step toward a permanent price-increasing formula for oil Opponents of the increase said they feel any future price increases should be based on higher production and development costs rather than the current system of boosting prices to spur exploration and encour age conservation Taylor, in the midst of a campaign for re-election, argued that there should be “no increase whatsoever in oil and gas” prices now And the country should not set its domestic prices on the basis of world oil prices Jack Davis of British Columbia said his province accepts the need for price increases to encourage oil and gas exploration.But he said he would prefer a deal whereby the current 10-cents-a-gallon excise tax on gasoline used in private cars could be lowered to offset any price increases.OTTAWA (CP) Proposed toughening of wiretapping laws erodes freedom and liberty and is an insidious and immoral move, opposition critics said Wednesday of government proposed Criminal Code amendments Vancouver lawyer Stu L e g g a 11 ( NDF-New Westminster) said the toughening is an “insidious and immoral invasion of peoples privacy ” “We should protect the freedom of the mind that we all cherish.” he added Calgary lawyer Eldon Woolliams, Progressive Conservative justice critic, said the government is “creating a new era of further invasion of privacy and further assuring a greater authoritarian state ” In a package of proposed amendments, the govern ment wants to increase to 60 days from 30 days the period a wire tap may be conducted and changing to three years from 90 days the time in which police must inform anyone bugged SECOND TRY The amendments are a second government try at so-called peace and security amendments which were hotly contested inside and outside Parliament last year because of stiff gun control laws That bill died at the end of the last session in October Opposition parties and gun groups have expressed general satisfaction with the changed gun control proposals in the current legislation But the “wiretap provisions are so broad there’s almost nothing the police can t tap for.” Leggatt charged Society has to support its police forces in their difficult jobs, he said But it should also encourage them to do more traditional in vestigative work rather than relying on electronic sur veillance which has not proved to be efficient FEW CONVICTED Woolliams said that of 1,062 persons arrested last year through electronic surveillance only 13 were convicted Conservative House leader Walter Baker said the wiretap provisions “were repugnant because they give police the authority to shadow electronically on mere suspicion of wrongdoing ” Woolliams introduced a motion to have the bill referred to the Commons justice committee before it is voted on for approval in principle He said the committee should divide the bill into several separate bills so MPs could vote on each major issue Earlier Commons Speaker James Jerome advised Leggatt to propose a special motion later to allow MPs to vote on the various sections of the t)iII Jerome said he “obviously would have some sympathy” for such a move For Yukon natural gas line route Second northern pipeline inquiry opens WHITEHORSE.Yukon (CP) — The northern development debate shifted to the Yukon Wednesday when another natural gas pipeline inquiry opened public hearings and immediately expanded the territory it intends to cover Inquiry chairman Ken Lysyk made a preliminary ruling that his three-member Alaska Highway pipeline investigation group will hear testimony concerning other possible routes The ruling was prompted by Jack Marshall, representing Canadian Arctic Gas Pipelines Ltd , who suggested that rival Foot hills Pipe Lines Ltd has more than one line in mind He said Foothills should clarify its intentions before the inquiry proceeds farther Marshall said the inquiry would be doing half its job if it did not investigate alternatives that might be under consideration by Foothills.Foothills has applied to the National Energy Board to build a 48-inch line to carry Without huge increases in property taxes.Municipal governments will vanish Quebec human rights commission upset with PQ directive HALIFAX (CP) - A 1976 trilevel government report said that, unless there are huge increases in property taxes or sharp reductions in city services, Canada’s municipal governments will vanish within five years.Mayors of several major Maritime centres said in interviews Tuesday they now believe the pace has speeded up and some say their financial situation is desperate ‘‘Quite a number of Maritime municipalities have borrowed to the hilt and are living on the verge of bankruptcy,” Mayor Dan Munroe of Glace Bay.N S., said “We’ve already got the property tax beat to death.” Munroe.president of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities, said municipalities must have a slice of provincial and federal government revenue sources such as income, sales and excise taxes if they are to survive Elizabeth Vaughan, executivedirector of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities, said communities find it hard to benefit from government policies that sometimes are an incoherent “mish-mash.” “Municipal government is the last true form of representative government we have in Canada and it needs to be nurtured, not trampled on,” she said The municipalities will get a chance to state their cases at a four-day conference of the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators opening today in Toronto.The Federation of Canadian Municipalities opens its annual meeting in Toronto on Sunday.CRISIS EXISTS NOW The 1976 tri-level report.Puppets On A Shoestring, said: “It is academic whether the trends develop into the nightmare they suggest for 1981.There is no need to go beyond present, documented facts They clearly show that municipal government is in crisis right now.” Charlottetown Mayor Frank Zakem said the supply of money to meet demands for services has stripped the city of its ability to manoeuver financially.Samuel Davis, 62.elected recently as mayor of Saint John, N.B., said the municipal property tax problem has become intolerable.“It’s not going to be any fun being mayor of the largest New Brunswick city and having to go with cap in hand for money to government,” he said “The solution is to broaden t he base of income sources to the municipalities.” Manitoba, Quebec and British Columbia allow a portion of taxes from in come, sales and excise to be turned over to .municipalities.Saskatchewan will make the change Jan 1.1978.It is a system the Maritime municipalities want.PROPS I P BUDGETS Glen Bagnell.the Nova Scotia municipal affairs minister, said his budget went to $85 million from $30 million in three years and 99 per cent of it is being used to prop up municipal budgets “I’m not sure how much longer cabinet will stand for this,” he said Bagnell has had a study group working on the problem for 10 months.Halifax Mayor Edmund Morris said some Maritime communities are overloaded with debts.“I think some municipalities run the risk of greater provincial involvement unless they can better manage their af fairs,” he said “That doesn’t mean it’ll be any better It just means it’ll be different.” A tri level conference will be held here in mid-June to seek solutions to the problems of the Maritime municipalities QUEBEC (CP) - The Quebec human rights commission has rapped the provincial government and Transport Minister Lucien Lessard for issuing a directive requiring that road workers have a knowledge of French.In a statement Wednesday, the commission said the language order was discriminatory because the jobs involved generally do not require that a person speak French The order, issued last month bv Lessard, affects SHERBROOKE (JC) The Sherbrooke Red Cross is close to their 2,000 objective in the 1977 Blood Donor Campaign 624 donors gave blood yesterday bringing the total to

- Undaunted by last year’s failure, the five crew members of the J E Bernier II—the smallest craft ever to attempt a voyage through the Northwest Passage-resume their Arctic adventure this weekend Looking forward to freezing temperatures, icebergs and a long, hard battle against nature, skipper Real Bouvier and photographer Marie-Eve Thibault fly to Copenhagen on Sunday en route to Holsteinsborg.Greenland, where their 35-foot boat has been in storage for the winter Last summer, heavy ice conditions cut the expedition short and the crew was forced to leave the Bernier in Holst einborg The other crew members— Pierre Bedard, an ecologist, Yves Desbiens, a professional seaman and deep-sea navigator, and Jacques Pettigrew, a cine mat ographer — sail to Greenland from Halifax on Friday and are expected to meet Bouvier and Thibault early next week SET SAIL IN JUNE Ice and weather conditions permitting, the group will set sail June 15, crossing Baffin Bay into l^ancaster Strait, the entry to the Northwest Passage The crew will rest at Resolute before sailing through Viscount Melville Strait.Prince of Wales Strait and the Beaufort Sea (CP) — Prime Trudeau arrived here Wednesday for an informal twoday visit during which he has but one official function—lunching with President Valery Giscard d’Estaing He flew here from London where he attended two summit meetings and in keeping with the informality of the trip he was greeted only by France’s chief of protocol and his old friend Gerard Pelletier.Canadian ambassador to France Friday, he will have a working lunch with Giscard d’Estaing and hold a news conference Other than a couple of interviews, those are the only things he will do before flying home to Ottawa on Saturday The visit draws more than usual interest because it follows closely what ob servers have called red carpet treatment afforded Claude Morin, minister of intergovernmental affairs in the separatist Quebec government Trudeau and his aides have rejected any suggestion that the object of the visit is to make sure that France does not swing support behind the separatists or even give that impression Trudeau says he is here for informal talks as part of a longstanding arrangement with Giscard d’Estaing that each would drop in on the other if they happened to be in the neighborhood At a news conference in I,ondon.Trudeau questioned whether Morin got red carpet treatment or whether he even wanted it For himself, he did not want it Just before Trudeau left Ottawa for a trip that took him to Iceland before liondon.he told some British newspaper men that the late French president Charles de Gaulle was an obnoxious fellow The president soured CanadaFrance relations for years by shouting Vive le Quebec Libre a separatist slogan—from the balcony of Montreal city hall in 1967 The prime minister took another punch at the late president in a BBC interview just before he left London He said as late as the weekend he and Giscard d Estaing had talked of the general feelings in Quebec and Canada—but not about separatism He said Giscard d Estaing is more interested in understanding the Canadian situation instead of “judging or making political forecasts of prophecies a la de Gaulle ” Trudeau said he likes per sonal exchanges, as he had had with US President Carter and former president Nixon, and with various British prime ministers He had not had the chance to have such conversations with French leaders Trudeau said this is not the type of trip that calls for him to visit the mayor of Paris The mayor.Gaullist Jacques Chirac, came out strongly in favor of the aims of the Quebec government when Morin was here Trudeau was to attend the theatre Wednesday night with Pelletier, a former cabinet minister 7,500 summer employees who cut hay, fill potholes, paint signs and perform dozens of other maintenance tasks along the province’s highways “As drafted, the directive may be applied in such a way that Quebecers of different ethnic origins and im migrants not speaking French can find themselves denied jobs for which knowledge of French is not essential,” the commission said Lessard had said it was normal for a government to demand that its employees speak the language of the majority— French FOR CERTAIN JOBS The seven member rights commission said it accepts that people involved in public administration needed to know French but argued that “for certain jobs, the use of a language is not essential or even necessary ” But it is usually sufficient to understand signs to execute road jobs, the commission said The commission also noted that 14 5 per cent of Quebec residents use English on a daily basis and another five per cent use neither English nor French, including many native people “The state must therefore make sure that immigrants, Quebecers of different ethnic origins and native people have access to temporary jobs where the French language is not essential or even necessary BE DISCRIMINATORY “To proceed otherwise would be to practise discrimination against an important part of Quebec’s population ” Lessard’s directive has caused anxiety among Englishspeaking Quebecers in the Gaspe and western regions of the province where men who had worked for years on road gangs have been denied jobs because they did not speak French Hie commission said it is pursuing inquiries into particular cases referred to it Alaska natural gas along the highway route It has a second application for a Mackenzie Valley line that would carry Mackenzie Delta gas only NEW ROUTE PLANNED?Marshall suggested that Foothills is interested in replacing the Mackenzie Valley plan with a trans-Yukon line from the delta to connect with the Alaska Highway line The delta line would follow the Dempster Highway, which when completed will connect Whitehorse with the delta community of Inuvik.N.W T Inquiry lawyer Stephen Goudgesaid it is relevant for the inquiry to get what evidence it can about possible lines down the Dempster and Klondike highways The Klondike Highway connects Whitehorse with Dawson City in the west-central Yukon and is a possible alternative to the more southerly Alaska Highway route Foot hills lawyer Alan Hoi ling worth argued that the company has only one Yukon application before the energy board and has no intention of filing for other lines There was nothing the inquiry could gain from speculating on what lines might be considered in future Arctic Gas has applied to build a Mackenzie Valley pipeline that would include a far northern Yukon section to bring out Alaskan gas Mr Justice Thomas Berger, who spent two years studying the Mackenzie Valley proposal, recommended Monday against any far northern Yukon construction and said the valley line should be delayed 10 years IN MOST ( ENTRES Lysyk said in an interview later that the inquiry is arranging to visit com munit ies away from the highway route and hearings will be held in most Yukon cent res “We realize there are limitations on what we can get.” he said in reference to possible testimony about other lines “But we are willing to listen to anything that is said ” Lysyk.dean of law at the University of British Columbia and former Saskatchewan deputy at torney-general, was appointed bv the federal government last month to head the inquiry The other members are

financial centre of ('ana da The skyline is dominated by three skyscrapers, otherwise known as the bank towers the Toron! o-Dominion Centre.Com merce Court and First Canadian Place, all costing $100 million or more Noticeable also, but with only two small towers of 41 and 26 storeys, is the Royal Rank Plaza, which sacrificed height for unusual.eye-catching design All are situated in the Bay-Yonge-King streets area, heart of the downtown financial district The twin-tower T D centre of 56 and 46 storeys is jointly owned by the Toronto Dominion Bank and Cadillac Fairview Corp Ltd of Toronto, each with a half share Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce owns all of Commerce Court which rises 26 feet higher than the T-D centre LOOKS DECEIVING Royal Bank Plaza is wholly owned by the Royal Bank of Canada, which still has its head office in Mon treal although its prestigious building here makes it look otherwise But First Canadian Place, fast becoming known as Big M.is only 25 per cent owned by the Bank of Montreal Others with an interest in the 72-storey sky-scraper, highest of the bank towers, are North American Life Assurance Co Ltd and Olympia and York Developments Ltd Toronto’s significance as a financial giant came under prominent view last February when the Royal Bank, Canadas largest, announced its plan to transfer the greater part of three headoffice depart ments to Toronto Despite the political im plications, the reason given for the shift was that it was a business decision that reflected the growing strength of Toronto as a financial centre ONTARIO FAVORED Rowland Frazee.Royal's executive vice president.said the move also took into account the fact that an increasing number of corporations had moved to Ontario.Askc»d if the move would have been made if the separatist Parti (Québécois had not won the Quebec election.Frazee replied “I can flatly, definitely state that that would be» the case ” The shift means that seven of the bank’s head office operations will be centred outside Montreal, of which five will be in Toronto.As well, the depart ments moved here investments, international money markets and corporate marketing and development show the Royal’s acknowledgment of Toronto as the money-actibn centre of Canada But shares are down two per cent over last year Gulf Oil’s earnings up in first quarter TORONTO Operating earnings of Gulf Oil Canada Limited were generally higher in the first quarter, but due to higher financial charges related to interest and currency translation net earnings of $40 6 million or 89

Patrick de Butler is gambling more than a hope and a prayer on carving an upper spot for Renault in the Canadian car market De Butler is vice-president and general manager of Automobiles Renault Canada Ltee , and the company is in vesting about $1 million in advertising this year to win public appeal for its product And he realizes it’s no small feat, especially in Ontario, to persuade people to buy a foreign made car “The customer’s biggest concern when buying a car is whether he can get parts and service quickly,” de Butler said in an interview “Renault is able to fulfil 94 per cent of its parts orders from stock within one week, though the largest proportion is actually serviced within a day.” Renault, whose parent company is in Paris and Canadian headquarters just outside Montreal, sells six models in Canada, all front-wheel drives and at prices Ottawa’s new UIC scheme will increase problems OTTAWA (CP) - The gov ernment’s proposed new unemployment insurance scheme will increase ad ministrative difficulties for government officials, the Commons manpower com mit tee was told Tuesday “Assuredly it will be more difficult to administer,” Cecil Tuck, chairman of the Cnemployment Insurance Commission told MPs However, despite problems cited by Con servative and Social Credit Party MPs during the meeting.Tuck said he didn't think it would be “impossible to administer it" The new scheme would establish variable entrance requirements for unemployment insurance benefits They range from a 10-week qualifying period where the unemployment rate exceeds nine per cent to a maximum 14-wee* qualifying period in regions where the unemploy ment rate i9 s\% per cent or less The main administration problem the govern mem tas yet to solve is whether benefits should be based ©n the entrance requirement in the person’s place of work or place of residence NO DECISION Harry Hodder.assistant deputy minister, said the government would prefer to base the benefit on the person’s place of work But the decision has not been made and “this is something that’s preoccupying us right now " Jake Epp (PC Provencher) cited the case of a nurse who moves from an urban area with a low unemployment rate to a rural area with a high unem plovment rate but cannot find a job “How in the blazes are you going to put all that together and come up with an equitable plan0” Fpp asked, after Hodder said unem plovment insurance officials would also have to take a person’s intentions and behavior into account Hodder said that officials would endorse the behaviour of an unemployed person from the Gaspe region of Quebec or Newfoundland, two of the hardest hit areas, who leaves home and family behind to seek work in Toronto, where the unem plovment rate is lower The Gaspe or Newfound Wind entrance requirenient of to weeks of work out of 52 would apply and the person wfltiJd be entitled to benefits since officiais would have an indicating that the applicant was senoiwjy searching for work, he said ranging from $3,400 to about $10.ooo RENAULT 5 POPt’LAR Its main stock in trade is the two-door hatchback Renault 5, which the company launched in France in 1972 and in North America in 1975 De Butler said the four-cylinder Renault 5 is a popular model which sells for about $3.500 and gives about 44 miles to a gallon of gasoline “Until the Renault 5 was introduced.Renault had extremely low visibility in Ontario,” he said “We are starting, therefore, from a relatively low sales base ” But that base grades upward to a luxury-line specialty.The Renault 30 sells for about $10.000 and de Butler calls it the car for all seasons “The severe cold, traction problems in snow and exposure to road salt in many provinces make Canadian driving conditions among the toughest in the world,” he said “We have spent two winters testing the Renault 30 under the most severe conditions and have modified the car for top performance in all seasons.” TAKES NO STAND However, de Butler has yet to take a stand on the new anti-corrosion code proposed by the federal government De Butler said he wanted more time to study the code, which urges car manufacturers to improve the rust resistance on their vehicles so that 1981 models would last at least five years without serious rusting Nearly 6.000 Renaults were sold in Canada last year—about 60 per cent of them in Quebec and de Butler said the total should reach about 1,400 in the next couple of years as the company now has dealers in every Canadian province In an address later to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, he said growth of corporations like Renault depend largely on the ex pansion of the dealer network and the acceptability of the product by the small businessman “We know from experience that when a product is accepted by a dealer it is half sold,” he said “The rest is up to the individual entrepreneur operating in his own style in his own community.” once the Arctic Gas pipeline is approved in Canada and the U S Our project would be conditional upon the establishment of acceptable frontier regulations and a price structure for the gas that will enable us to justify making the large investment involved" He said the company plans to participate in a total of 69 wells this year, compared to 55 committed to in 1976 Included in this year’s program will be a second offshore well in the Beaufort Sea to drill the Ukalerk structure five miles southeast of the Tingmiark well which was suspended last year The company is also involved in a stepped-up program in the high Arctic with the Arctic Islands Exploration Group Referring to federal legislation which will shortly be introduced to require oil companies to demonstrate how much of their produc tion earnings they are reinvesting to find and develop new energy for Canada.Mr.Stoik said.“Our company has already supplied this information to the government on a voluntary basis for several years back ; and on the basis of the information requested to date we see no problem in meeting any mandatory reporting requirements.“Our track record demonstrates that we have been plowing a very high proportion of our revenues back into energy exploration and development.” He said that Gulf Canada’s total capital and exploratory Dominion textile to expand into denim at Magog plant SHERBROOKE, Que (CP) — Dominion Textile

cheaper to buy a bike the rider will “grow into”, but that would sacrifice safety on the altar of economics When purchasing a touring or lightweight bike, the ball of one foot should be able to touch the ground while you are sitting with the other foot on the pedal The handlebars should be far enough forward so that the rider can pull against them while pedalling uphill Hand and foot brakes should give fast and easy stops without instability or jamming Plastic pedals can be slippery, and a safer choice would be rubber treated pedals or metal pedals with serrated rat-trap edges or with firmly attached toe clips A boy’s bicycle should not have gear controls or other protruding attachments mounted on the crossbar, nor should a bike have any protruding bolts or sharp points and edges, especially the fenders The wheels and pedals of the bike should spin easily without wobbling and the handlebars should turn smoothly The tire valves should point straight to the centre of the wheel and the spokes should be of uniform tightness When shopping for a used bicycle, check for wrinkled paint where the metal tubing meets This could be a sign that a bent frame has been straightened Here

year Of this, approximately 60 per cent will be for exploration and development of new sources, including the company’s share of the Syncrude project “These sharp increases in the level of capital spending have been financed to a very considerable extent by the reinvestment of a high proportion of our increased cash flow, including nearly 75 per cent of earnings w hich have been retained and reinvested in the business over the past four years ” He said that assuming the Arctic las pipeline goes ahead the company’s capital and exploratory expenditures over the next five years are currently projected to exceed $2 billion While stating that during the past three years the federal government has taken some useful steps towards creating an expansionary climate for oil industry activity, Mr Stoik said that “repeated confrontations and lack of cooperation on energy between the federal and provincial governments have allowed only a stop-gap or piece meal approach to energy planning The resulting un certainties have made it extremely difficult for the industry to get on with the job In addition to the need for an early decision on the Arctic Gas pipeline, he cited the following road blocks which must be cleared if the industry is going to be able to put forth a maximum effort to meet Canada’s energy needs 1 After seven long years, still no frontier land regulations that will give

on Federalism By GEORGE BERGERON < Record Reporter) SHERBROOKE - Exliberal finance minister for the Bourassa government.Richard Garneau, was in Sherbrooke this week to promote and inform the regional population on a Liberal campaign package called ,,Option-Canada‘\ The campaign is a Liberal move to invite partisans to actively participate in the constitutional debate Partisans will be called upon in the summer months to fill out questionnaires destined to give their opinions on the form federalism should take in the future as well as take the pulse of the population through their reactions, commentaries and interrogations on the subject Mr Garneau.speaking to the press at the Reform Club Monday, said that the questionnaires should be ready by mid-June and documentation should be completed in September “Other forms of consultation will be looked into to insure that opinions of the population were properly translated,” Mr Garneau said When Garneau was asked by a member of the press why the campaign was called “Option Canada” he answered that “the name translated more the reality of the situation than a name like ‘Canadian Federalism Garneau said that the necessity of a campaign like “Option Canada” was important since he felt that the “existence of the country is jolly well threatened”.iiunieciu and his Liberal colleagues are pushing for a remodelling of the constitution which would limit Federal jurisdiction in culture affairs and communications in addition to a new constitution which would reflect Canada’s bi cultural nature “New fields are open now and not expressly covered by the constitution,” Mr Garneau went on to say.Over a hundred years ago the Fathers of Confederation had not anticipated the invention of wireless communication or the discovery of oil in the West.“A consultative mechanism must be established to attribute undefined powers to each province.” Mr Garneau clarified With the Legislative Assembly in full swing Garneau is promoting his “Option Canada” package at times when the assembly is not sitting His tour will continue with visits to Hull.Valleyfield and Baie Com-meau The Quebec Liberal party is sorely in need of a strong political platform and their “Option-Canada” package is just what they need The Liberals are so busy in the Legislative Assembly that they have not had time to hold a leadership campaign to see if the consensus will continue to approve Gerald Levesque as their interim leader Badly fragmented and dislocated after the last provincial election the Quebec Liberal Party are already looking forward to the next elections and their “Option-Canada” campaign may provide the needed unifying force.Stanstead College Alumni meet STANSTEAD (IH) — The annual meeting of Stanstead College Alumni was held on

ends with the com pany’s profits Domtar announced Friday that it would close its Kraft Paper and Board Mill in East Angus by September 30.a mill that employs almost 70 per cent of the town’s work force John Gossip.public relations officer for Domtar.told The Record yesterday from Montreal.“We do have a social responsibility but we don’t feel it’s served by keeping an unprofitable plant open to perpetuity ” When asked if the com pany’s responsibility ends at the point of profitability.Mr Gossip said “yes” Mr Gossip says the decision was “very upsetting for Domtar.too.but good ness knows what’s going to happen between now and the end of September ’’ Domtar came under attack in the National Assembly Tuesday when two government ministers accused the company of reneging on a deal made with the Liberal government that allowed them forest concessions for their plant in Lebel sur Quevillon I ndust ry Minister Rodrigue Tremblav and Yves Berube.Minister of Lands and Forests, told the Assembly the concessions were contingent on Domtar maintaining their other mills, particularly those in East Angus and W indsor Mr Gossip says the agreement, made in November 26.1969 allowed Domtar to take wood from the number 1 forest concession at Quevillon for their other mills in Quebec as long as the company maintained “the level of productivity equivalent to the rest of the province’s pulp and paper industry ” But he adds, they “haven’t moved wood anyways to Donnaconna for 2 years.” or to any other plants in Quebec Industry Minister Tremblay told the Assembly that the government has been studying the pulp and paper industry in Quebec for a long time and found the East Angus plant the least productive of Quebec’s 9 Kraft paper plants He did say, however, that he thought it possible to save at least part of the mill A spokesman for the Minister said yesterday that it was too early to comment on what steps the government might take to preserve the aging mill Jacques Couture.Minister of Labour said he was “consternated and a little revolted at the company's decision to close but his department was working on proposals to get the employees back to work He also said steps would be taken to retrain workers should the company finally close The 480 members of the Syndicat National des Travailleurs de la Pulpe et du Papier d’East Angus have been on stnke since April 1.seeking a cost of living allowance in their new contract The company has given them until May 16 to return to work or face immediate lay-offs The union is expected to vote Friday Domtar told employees that the mill was no longer economical at its present capacity and further in vestment was unwarranted because a proper return couldn’t be guaranteed The primary reason, says the company, was the failure of the recovery boiler in August 1976.forcing a cut back in production from 70.000 tons to 50.000 tons annually The cost to replace the boiler and associated equipment would be $15 million To further update the mill to meet tougher pollution restrictions by 1980.would cost another $15 million ROTARY PRESIDENTS MEET — Local Rotary club presidents got a chance to meet their

Established February 9, 1897, incorporating the Sherbrooke Gazette (est 1837) and the Sherbrooke Examiner (est 1897) Published Monday to Friday by the Eastern Townships Publishing Co.Ltd at 2520 Roy Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec Publisher: NORMAN NICHOLL Editor BARBARA STEVENSON Directors: Conrad M Black, F.David Radier, Peter G White Tel.: 569 9525 UIC changes The unemployment insurance changes announced by Hud ( ullen.minister of manpower and immigration, are open to a variety of criticisms.They will admittedly be costly ; the public treasury is deprived at a stroke of $140 million in those paper savings which were confidently promised such a short time ago.There will also be a cost to the government of a different sort.When ministers bow to pressure, political as well as economic, in one case, they encourage people to disregard resolute statements and to apply pressure in other cases, anticipating a similar result.Hut the most interesting criticism comes from Ed Hroadhent.It is quite wrong, in the view of the NDP leader, to alter the scheme in such a fashion that employees.all of whom pay the same insurance premiums, are subject to eligibility rules which vary according to region and are entitled, when work is not available, to benefits which are also dictated by geography.This is a serious argument deserving a better answer than it has yet received.There is an answer, the problem is that it is not one which the government cares to make.Mr.Hroadbent’s criticism is based on the premise that the scheme is insurance, as it was in the beginning and as the name implies.In reality, it has been transformed by government, with strong New Democratic and often Conservative support, into something much more accurately described as a plan of income maintenance.What was once a valid argument has become irrelevant; Mr Hroadhent ought to have challenged the government when the transformation was taking place.-f- -f- 4- In the early 1960s, after years of high unemployment had brought the fund to bankruptcy, the government of the day appointed a committee of inquirv.beaded by Ernest Dill and including among others John Deutsch.the extremely able public servant who afterwards headed the Economic Council.The committee, reporting in 1962.found that an insurance plan, even at that stage, had been overloaded by the addition of income supplements.“The present .plan .has by reason of amendments over the years departed unduly from insurance principles appropriate to such a plan.I ndoubtedly, each such amendment appeared justifiable at the time in terms of the social problem that the amendment was designed to meet, but as such amendments have accumulated, the insurance concept has been pushed more and more into the background .The plan is neither a valid insurance plan in its present form nor is it a socially desirable type of income supplement, since in many cases the income supplement goes where it is not needed and fails to go where such supplement should go.” Action on the report was long delayed since the return of good times removed the financial threat and any sense of urgency in government.Finally, however, new legislation was introduced by the Trudeau administration.In some respects, notably in the new structures, the Mackasey scheme reflected the influence of the (¦ill committee.Overall, however, it was much more of an income scheme, incorporating a variety of benefits including the maternity provisions, and it was even farther removed from insurance principles, than the plan it replaced.Generosity was made possible by conscripting everyone (apart from senior citizens in the work force who have now been made ineligible), thus ensuring that there is no relationship whatever between risks and premiums.In a sense, actuarial principles were simply side-tracked since the plan, beyond a given unemployment rate, depended on the resources of the public treasury.There was abuse on a scale not known before since many people treated it simply as a new government benefit scheme making work optional for long periods.As the economy failed dramatically to meet the government’s expectations, unexampled deficits were soon accumulating.The scheme has been defended, quite plausibly, as a social and economic measure, a means of maintaining incomes and thus purchasing power in afflicted regions.Mr.Hroadhent is all for pouring more money into areas of high unemployment; indeed, he insists that there are no differences in the Mouse on that point.Hut at the same time he protests bitterly that a scheme from which most insurance principles have long since been drained must not be disfigured by amendments permitting unequal benefits to flow from equal premiums.This is quite illogical as Mr.Cullen would doubtless point out if the government was not so sensitive (for quite understandable reasons! about its performance in this field Due to PQ influences in upcoming by-election Liberal’s two “safe” seats just may be in jeopardy MONTREAL - The Montreal area ridings of Terrebonne and Verdun are both known as safe Liberal seats but forthcoming byelections there may be influenced by how Parti Québécois supporters vote.The seats became vacant when two federal Liberals resigned to run for the Quebec Liberal party in the Nov 15 provincial election which brought the PQ to power Bryce Mackasey, former cabinet minister and a powerful figure in Verdun since the early 1960s, won a seat in a middleclass riding on another part of Montreal Island while Roland Comtois, who has represented Terrebonne since 1965.failed to win a provincial seat Terrebonne, just north of Montreal, is one of the most populous federal con stituencies in Quebec with 110,000 potential voters Old timers there lament that many farms in the riding are steadily being eliminated by the spread of the urban middleclass to towns such as Ste Therese and Rosemere, bedroom satellites for Montreal MOST SPEAK FRENCH More than 89 per cent of the residents are French-speaking The average in come of heads of households is $10.470.$500 more than the Quebec* average The nding coincides with

pundits say the race may be determined by what role, if any, the Parti Québécois chooses to play in the campaign Delorme’s campaign manager is a PQ activist, but there are signs the separatist party will not involve itself in any substantial way Comtois is confident that federal spending in the area, including Mirabel, will swing the undecided voters to his side The other parties in Terre bonne are not expected to be a factor In Verdun, the big question is how will the Liberals do without Mackasey who had won the seat in six federal elections dating back to 1962” Mackasey built an elec toral coalition among the French and Anglo Irish communities which make up the constituency and ensured his victories by assembling a powerful election organization which rarely lost a poll for the affable Irishman Raymond Savard.a Verdun city councillor, has inherited the Liberal nomination and the party’s winning organization His biggest problem may be municipal problems and apparent apathy among veteran Liberal supporters MAY HAVE PROBLEMS One prominent Mackasey organizer said privately many veteran Liberals appear to be sitting on the sidelines, adding “They (the Liberals) may be in trouble if the turnout is something like 50 per cent or less the malcontents will all vote.’’ But he said he did not discount the possibility that Liberals may turn out to help Savard in the final days of the campaign “It’s not a fundamental disagreement, some people just feel that things are different without Bryce ” Savard's opponents say he has not fulfilled promises he made in the last municipal election to create more park space in t he city and create a code of rights to protect tenants and small property-owners This discontent has been exploited by NDP candidate Phil Edmonston, a consumer rights advocate who often discusses Verdun’s problems when he greets a potential voter Edmunston says he doubts he can win on May 24 But he is laying the groundwork for the next federal election by which time he expects to be able to mount a serious challenge Conservative candidate Pierrette Lucas, a public relations office for a downtown trade centre, says she didn’t even expect to win the nomination.Michel Dansereau of the Social ('redit party and two fringe-party candidates are given no chance of having an impact on the final result Delicate Canada-U.S.negotiations could result from Berger report WASHINGTON (CP) - If the Canadian government agrees with the Berger commission’s argument that northern natives should have 10 years to brace for the impact of pipeline const ruction, there may be some delicate Canada-U.S negotiations Although the public schedule for decisionmaking in each country does not include negotiations, a state department official said that undoubtedly there will be discussions between co-ordinators of pipeline policy for the two governments.The Canadian government has appointed an official to co-ordinate its pipeline policy and his U S.counterpart is to be appointed shortly.On the Canadian side, officials would have to weigh the desirability of a delay against whatever benefits a northern pipeline may bring PR firm pushing cancer-linked drug 6.50 3.50 WASHINGTON - An apocryphal story is told about an advertising firm which was asked to produce a slick campaign to sell cigarettes after the Surgeon General determined they caused cancer For days, the ad men agonized over how to overcome the health-hazard problem At last, a bright young executive came up with a slogan for the new campaign “Cancer is good for you!” Huckstering hasn’t quite sunk to that level at Hill and Knowlton, the nation’s largest public relations firm.But the New York firm has secretly proposed an all-out media offensive to pash a drug that has been linked to cancer and birth defects The drug is estrogen, which millions of women in menopause take to replace the hormones they have lotf But recent teas indicate that ase of the drug increases the risk of cancer of the uterus Ayerst Laboratories, which produces an estrogen drug calk'd Premarin, responded to the danger by adding a warn ing to the label But Hill and Knowlton viewed the cancer risk merely as a public relations problem “Menopause remains a fashionable topic, cancer is alaways cur rent, drug side effects have not lost their journalistic appeal, the firm warned “Sales could be eroding at an accelerating rate” Disregarding the medical evidence, the firm called for “a communications program to provide quick counteraction’’ to the news that estrogen users were mon» likely to get cancer The PR firm offered to “counteract unfavorable publicity inci dents” by placing "a comprehensive arti cle on the menopause in a major women’s magazine ” The article would he slanted, presumably, in favor of estrogen “The prime targets hen* would ht» McCall’s, Ladies Home Journal.Family Cir cle and Redbook,” the company suggested “A possible theme is the stages of life that women pass through - the

switch, metal or another person the sparks fly Our new fully carpeted, all electric home has a fireplace and I wonder if any of these things could cause our problem I love the column and keep the Pointers in a loose leaf binder divided according to rooms in the house I find this a time saver — LAURA DEAR LAURA — Rubbing two different materials together will cause a friction that makes static electricity such as walking across a carpet will do This is not dangerous and often varies according to atmospheric conditions.Try putting more moisture in the air.This can be done by placing containers of water on radiators or heaters.— POLLY DEAR POLLY — Does static electricity get the best of you° Try carrying a sheet of that fabric softener that one puts in the dryer in your pocket, or keep it handy when removing your nylon coat prior to hanging it in the closet Sparks used to come out of the switch plates when I touched them and scared me nearly to death Just rub such a sheet on your slacks or dress This really works — MARIAN DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with those amateur photographers who stand so far back that the picture shows lots and lots of background but a magnifying glass is needed to identify the people in the picture — MRS J H creation crafts, health, nature lore, crafts emblem Julia Goodsell, collectors, Cynthia Gilbert, health, cook.Little House emblem; Cindy

Ten students from Nanook School in Frobisher Bay visited Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster recently while the boys were videotaping their famous Shakespearean Baseball sketch for telecast on CBC-TV next September The kids, age 11-13, were on an official school field trip to southern Canada as a reward for progress they had made in the classroom They also appeared on CBC Radio s Morningside w ith Maxine Crook and said hello to their family and friends in Frobisher CBC promises 2 new summer series BBC production: rags to riches story of Rose Lewis Film to feature North Hatley antique auction London at the turn of the century .a city of horse-drawn cabs, splendid houses, gas lights, top hats, frock coats, sweeping skirts and hipbaths A world where one woman.with neither education nor money, but with vision and initiative, rose to become the owner of a famous exclusive hotel and confidante of the great.The Duchess of Duke Street, a 15-episode, hour drama series, will be telecast on CBC-TV beginning Sunday.May 29 at 9 pm A BBC Television production, it was devised, produced and partly written by John Hawkesworth of Upstairs.Downstairs fame British actress Gemma Jones (daughter of film and stage actor Griffith Jones) plays the lead role Elizabeth Shepherd, well-known in Canada for her many stage and CBC television performances, appears in one of the episodes The series was first telecast in England in September of last year, and by the second episode, the network had attracted more than 13 million viewers.Critics touted the production as “.a winning mixture of nostalgia and down-to-earth realism.”, ”.it’s a bit like Upstairs, Downstairs, but with a darn sight more guts.” ”.oozing charm like one of those Mogul oil gushers.” and ”.Gemma Jones has forged in Louisa a splendid character, ripe for action .” In The Duchess of Duke Street, Gemma Jones plays the parts of Louisa, who started life as a scullery’ maid.Through her beauty and skill as a cook, she became the hostess, entertainer and intimate friend of peers, princes and kings The Prince of Wales, captivated by her looks - and her cooking - makes her his mistress Then he becomes King Edward Vll and the affair has to end The house and money he has settled on her make it possible for Louisa to become owner of the Bentinck Hotel in Duke Street In spite of a drunken husband, ill health and financial difficulties, she transforms it into an international meeting place for the rich, the famous and the glamorous that becomes, as does its proprietress, a legend in its own lifetime The series is based on the life story of the famous Rosa I^ewis.the Cockney girl who began her working life at the age of 12.scrubbing floors for a shilling a week, and who became one of the greatest cooks in England and owner of the legendary Cavendish Hotel in London s Jermvn Street She died in 1952, well into her eighties and her hotel is no longer there But she still captures the imagination of a generation which never knew her, just as she did the imagination of her con temporaries Those who remember her still fondly recall her famous quail puddings, her ferocious tongue, her abuse of ser vants, her terrific snobbery.her high spirits and her generosity - she had a lifelong habit of charging the wine of penniless young men to the bills of older and richer clients.Although both story and character in the TV series are original, it is Rosa Lewis who was the inspiration for The Duchess of Duke Street John Hawkesworth, who produced all 63 episodes of Upstairs.Downstairs, describes his new project as ‘much more raffish and rakish”.The other writers include Rosemary Anne Sisson, who contributed to the BBC-TV series The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R.and Jack Rosenthal, author of the prize-winning TV play.The Evacuees, telecast on BBÇV.and OECA Hawkesworth has a passion about authenticity.Most of his research for The Duchess of Duke Street came from diaries, letters, and novels of the time.“If you look deeply enough you find all sorts of fascinating details”, he said “For instance.the sort of slang they used in those days - words like deevy’ for divine and dansaring' and dinared' for dined But beneath all the fun there was tremendous boredom, which was why there was this terrific long-weekend thing Every single moment of every day, something was laid on to keep everyone amused and occupied: billiards, shooting, cards, dancing and so on On top of which they were all forced to eat far too much In many ways, the greatest problem upper-class Edwardians had to face was how to fill in the gaps between meals Louisa realized that what Edwardian men wanted most of all was comfort, privacy and marvellous food - and that was what she provided”.Such a wealth of detailed research has gone into every episode of The Duchess of Duke Street that the series could almost become a standard work of reference on the period “We tried to set as many of the episodes as possible against a background of real events”, continues Hawkesworth.“A particular by-election, an affair involving suffragettes, and the death of Edward VII” As might be expected in a senes whose heroine has an overwhelming ambition to be the best cook in London, fond plays a very considerable part Louisa is not only described as a cook, she is actually seen to cook in the lavish style of the Edwardian age.when caviar was a recognized garnish for fish and the appearance of the dining table ranked almost equal in importance to the food itself Michael Smith, one of England’s leading authorities on food and wine, has acted as technical ad viser He cooked all the food for the series and advised on all aspects of its preparation and serving, both in the kitchen and in the dining room A series of 20 short films made by young independent Canadian film makers will be show n on CBC-TV under t he t it le Journal ( Not seen on all stations.Please consult your local listings.) on
