Parliament ends controllers strike OTTAWA (CP) Parliament ordered a halt to a three-day-old strike by the country’s 2,200 air traffic controllers early to day with emergency legislation ordering them back on the job.Air services crippled since early Sunday morning were scheduled to begin again within hours.The union predicted services in many parts of the country would be normal in 12 hours or less.The bill received passage at 3:40 a m.EDT after 12 hours of debate in the Commons and the Senate because of all party agreement to waive normal parliamentary rules and avoid prolonging debate A bill normally requires several days to process Although there was unani- mous agreement that the bill should not be blocked on procedural grounds, opposition members in bo* h the Commons and the Senate said the dispute between the controllers and the government, their employer, was foolish and unnecessary.Even the union said it had not Oeen worthwhile.LEADER BITTER “I don’t think the strike U

royal yacht Britannia today for a jubilee visit and what may be the two most dangerous days of her life.The outlawed Irish Republican Army’s Provisional wing has promised to unleash “a blitz to remember” and 32,000 police and troops were on full alert to guard the monarch and her family against any violence.Thousands of Irishmen, women and children lined the coastline and cheered when Britannia loomed out of a low mist and anchored off Belfast harbor.A 21-gun salute greeted the royal yacht.The Queen was accompanied by Prince Philip and two their youngest children, Prince Albert, 17, and Prince Edward, 13.It was the first time the 51-year-old Queen has been in an area where troops are engaged in active combat.SEEKS UNITY The IRA, which wants to unite predominantly Protestant Northern Ireland with the largely Catholic PCs to sue Liberals over uranium cartel OTTAWA (CP) Opposition Leader Joe Clark announced Tuesday night that he has initiated steps to take the federal government to court to challenge the legalities of its participation in an international uranium price-fixing cartel Prime Minister Trudeau said earlier in the Commons he has asked advisers to review a 1976 cabinet order that the opposition feels restricts open debate—even the seeking of legal advice-on the operations of the cartel Clark issued a statement saying the Progressive Conservative party has retained Toronto lawyer John Sopinka as counsel “in respect of possble legal action arising from the government's involvement in the international uranium cartel .” The Conservatives, who have obtained documents from a U S court case about the cartel, say the operation may have violated Canadian anti-combines law and damaged Canadians because.for example, nuclear electric power stations had to pay higher prices for uranium.WRITE TO MINISTER Clark also said he and five other Conservative MPs have written formally to Energy Minister Alastair Gillespie seeking his consent, judged necessary by the cabinet order, for them to discuss material relating to the cartel with Sopinka The Progressive Conservatives have hammered the government for three straight Commons sitting days over its involvement in the cartel, especially the order it issued last fall to restrict release of information on the issue Trudeau told Sinclair Stevens (PC—York-Simcoe) that he has asked Justice Minister Ron Basford to review the order and to consider changes to ensure a free and open debate on the government’s involvement The federal government said last year that it joined the cartel in the early 1970s to keep the price of uranium above production costs to prevent collapse of the country’s uranium mining industry Irish republic in the south, sees the Queen’s visit, marking the 25th anniversary of her reign, as a reaffirmation of British rule over Northern Ireland Five days of rioting, gun battles and terrorist acts by IRA sympathizers led up to the royal visit.On Tuesday, a 16-year-old Roman Catholic youth and a British soldier were shot dead Later in the day, a one-pound bomb exploded on the grounds of the new University of Ulster at Coleraine, where the Queen is scheduled to visit Thursday.There were no casualties or damage.Northern Ireland’s million strong Protestant majority, which wants to keep Ulster British, decorated its neighborhoods with festive bunting and Union Jacks to welcome the monarch.The royal party will bypass Belfast during the jubilee visit because the city has been the centre of violence since 1969, when Northern Ireland’s current round of sectarian fighting broke out.When Elizabeth and Philip last toured Belfast, in 1966, a bottle was hurled at them and a concrete slab was dropped on the hood of their car No one was injured in the incidents was worth it,” said a bitter Jim Livingston, president of the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association (CATCA), referring to the bill’s imposition of the last government wage offer on the controllers.“But it has left a legacy of bitterness that is probably going to make the members more militant,” he said.The strike was the third by the controllers since 1972, the second on contract issues.Last year, rotating strikes by controllers to protest government bilingual policy in air communication led to a full-scale walkout by the country’s pilots.The contract imposed on the controllers by today’s emergency legislation expires Dec.31 and negotiations for a new agreement are to begin within a few months Parliamentary critics said they failed to understand why the strike had occurred at all because there had been litHp deference in the basic wage positions of each side The dispute centred on a 4.6-per-cent additional increase for controllers being reclassified into higher categories.Some critics blamed Transport Minister Otto Lang for failing to resolve the dispute through negotiation rather than legislation—the first used to end a strike by government employees.inscription on the

Paquet ) PQ accused of inflexibility Unemployment leads to new dollar drop MONTREAL (CP) - The Canadian dollar’s fall to an eight year low on New York money markets Tuesday was blamed by analysts on statistics showing an increase in unemployment last month.At close of trading, the Canadian dollar was worth 92.86 U S.cents, up fractionally from the 92.80 U S cent value it had fallen to earlier in the day.This is the dollar’s lowest level since November, 1969, and the first time since 1970 it has closed at less than 93 U S.cents.A Royal Bank official said figures released earlier in the day showing 8 1 per cent of Canada’s work force unemployed in July were the “chink in the armor’’ Tuesday “That and the fact (the dollar) got through the 93-cent barrier It’s searching for a new floor again.” He said the market was “fairly quiet and fairly orderly,” and that selling was both speculative and com- mercial.HIT LO IN 1931 In its 119-year history, the Canadian dollar has often risen and fallen in value It reached an all-time low in December, 1931, when it was valued at 80 08 U S.cents.By 1959 it had climbed to an all-time high of 105.75 U S.cents, but soon began to fall and was pegged at 92.50 U S.cents during the 1962 election campaign by then-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker Although it had a fixed value, it fluctuated slightly between 1962 and 1970, dipping to 91.74 U S.cents early in 1968 The Canadian dollar bounded upwards when the federal government floated it—allowed it to fluctuate in response to day to day pressures—in May 1970.It was worth 4'^ cents more than the U S dollar in the spring of 1974 It has lost a total of about nine cents in relation to its U S.counterpart since last year, including more than one cent in the last two weeks QUEBEC (CP) Opposition spokesmen accused the Parti Québécois government Tuesday of inflexibility for refusing to accept any of the amendments proposed so far during clause-by-clause study of Bill 101, the Charter of the French Language The government side replied by accusing the Liberals of conducting a filibuster, zeroing in on Bill 101’s education provisions to propose amendment after amendment “This is not a filibuster,” said an angry Fernand Lalonde (L— Marguerite-Bourgeoys).He said the Liberals have about 80 amendments to propose to the bill’s 219 clauses and they are “all aimed at injecting a little more sense into the law.” Lalonde and his colleagues will have to work quickly if they want to introduce 80 amendments since there is talk of ending committee study of the language bill by the middle of next week A Parti Québécois member complained privately that he and his colleagues had refrained from speaking on the bill during second reading debate (agreement in principle) so that it could be quickly referred to committee.only to find it stalled there by the Liberals Two opposition amendments aimed at broadening access to English-language schools were defeated Tuesday and a third seemed headed for the same fate when the committee ad joumed for the night DEFEATED PROPOSAL By a vote of 10-6, govern ment members defeated a Compton» that would have allowed children who attended English language schools unofficially last year to enrol legally this September.Education Minister JacquesYvan Morin said the amendment would have discriminated against parents who accepted the results of language proficiency tests administered under the Official Language Act, the law which Bill 101 is to replace New Hydro rates sought QUEBEC (CP) — Energy Minister Guy Joron has asked Hydro-Quebec, the provinciallyrun utility, to seek a one-year rate increase in anticipation of the government’s white paper on energy Robert Boyd, newly-named Hdro president, had written to the minister last week notifying him the utility would seek higher rates for the next three years.Published reports said the rate hikes would range between 17 and 20 per cent annually during that period But Joron said in a statement Tuesday that Hydro should hold back on 1979 and 1980 rates until the government releases its policy proposals on energy in the form of a white paper, expected in the fall ( Record Highlights

" - .* *• THE SHERBROOKE RECORD — WED.AUG.lü.1977 Northern pipeline issue to require compromises Negotiations going to be tough WASHINGTON (CP) -Despite President Carter s expressed optimism over a proposed US.-Canadian natural gas pipeline, an American official said Monday the two countries face hard, intense negotiations over the northern pipeline issue Commenting on the Canadian cabinet’s decision to approve an Alaska highway route for the natural gas pipeline from Alaska, with significant conditions to benefit Canada, the official said the next step will be for the two countries to set up special negotiating teams: “It’s going to be tough, I don’t think there’s any question about that.” Canada, he said, has many specific concerns it wants met while the United States wants the cheapest possible delivery system for the Alaskan natural gas “It’s going to require compromise and accommodation on both sides and every time you get into things like that you lower the chances of political acceptability.” In Plains, Ga , Carter told reporters he is optimistic that U S negotiators can reach “some degree of agreement” with Canada in time for him to meet his Sept 1 deadline for choosing between the Alaska highway and El Paso alternatives TALKED WITH TRUDEAU Carter said he talked with Canadian Prime Minister Stock listings Montreal MONTREAL (CP) Prices were somewhat higher in

Wars” and Columbia’s “The Deep ” Trudeau earlier Monday about the proposed pipeline and that he thinks bilateral negotiations will start within about a week “if all goes according to schedule.” Among the conditions that have been suggested to the Canadian government are delaying the pipeline project until 1981 to allow social and environmental preparations in the Yukon, setting up a $200 million fund for Yukon development, paid by the pipeline interests, and lengthening the pipeline route to facilitate future construction of a pipeline for Canadian use Those conditions for Canadian acceptance of a pipeline through the Yukon, British Columbia and Alberta were recommended last week by a commission set up to consider the impact of such a project on the Yukon.The U S.official said the recommendations are not welcomed in the U.S.: “I think the reaction has been one of concern down here because obviously they increase the cost to the consumer.” If the Canadian conditions, as specified in intergovernmental negotiations to start shortly, are unacceptable to the U S.government, the U S has the option of choosing the El Paso proposal to ship the Alaskan gas south in tankers, without crossing Canadian territory A source close to members of Congress who will be dealing with the pipeline issue said that if Canada places too many conditions on the pipeline, the rival El Paso project will benefit.El Paso plans to move natural gas through Alaska by pipeline, then to the rest of the U S.by tanker.SPEED A FACTOR The chief interest in the U.S., he said, is “who can be the firstest with the gas ” He said if Canada stands by the recommendations of the pipeline inquiry, it would be “rather difficult to swallow.” “I would expect it would not make anybody particularly enthusiastic” if Canada followed proposals for a delay to 1981 in construction, or a $200-million compensation fund to be paid by Foothills.He also said native land claims “don’t have a damn thing to do with gas” and should not be a factor in any pipeline decision “Whether or not there’s gas up there, the claims still have to be settled,” he said “I don’t know if anybody would be that favorably inclined to a Canadian gas settlement that had the American gas consumer paying for the settlement of Canadian native claims ’’ EL PASO COMMENTS Mike Holland, manager of El Paso’s Anchorage, Alaska, office, said he does not see anything new in Trudeau’s announcement He said the decision to approve negotiations with the U S means the two countries are “still searching for the basis of an agreement.” He said El Paso is not giving up the fight because “we don’t see any indication that Carter will delay his decision” past the Sept.1 deadline.“We doubt that the various uncertainties surrounding the Foothills proposal can be resolved in time for a favorable Alcan decision by the end of the month.” But Stewart Udall, a Washington lawyer who represents Foothills, said he thinks the decision to negotiate is “good news for both countries.” “I’m confident that conditions favorable to both countries can be worked out,” he said.Udall noted that Canada “has not taken a hard line” on conditions attached to the pipelines, which means agreement might be reached “without considerable difficulty.” Indian government wants the secret to Coke’s taste NEW DELHI, India (AP) — The Indian government had demanded that the American producers of Coca-Cola turn over control of their Indian operations and the secret to Coke’s taste to Indians or get out of the country.Accusing Coca-Cola of squeezing up to 400 per cent profit from Indian franchised bottlers, Industry Minister George Fernandes demanded that the company transfer its technical knowhow and 60 per cent control to an Indian firm.The announcement in the lower house of parliament Monday night was cheered.Fernandes also said government chemists have perfected a formula for a substitute beverage which could provide employment for the 150,000 Indian Coca-Cola workers should the Atlanta, Ga., firm pull out Indian officials of the Coca-Cola Export Corp said comment would have to come from their managing director, Kisan Mehta, currently in London for talks.But sources said Coke would probably opt to pull out rather than give up the secret that has made the beverage internationally popular.PROFIT MILLIONS With an initial plant investment of only $75,900, Coca-Cola had actual and claimed earnings of $11.5 million prior to 1974, Fernandes said - more than the foreign exchange it brought into India.Last April, India’s reserve bank ordered the local branch of Coca-Cola Export Corp.to convert itself into an Indian corporation within one year, with a maximum foreign equity of 40 per cent.Fernandes said Coca-Cola agreed - but with the condition that the American side would maintain a “quality control and liaison office” in India to guard the “trade secrets”, meaning the syrup formula.The proposal was rejected, Fernandes said, because it violated the 1974 Foreign Exchange Regulation Act providing that technical know-how must transferred to companies within time limit.be fully Indian a given Canada's jobless rate jumped sharply in July OTTAWA (CP) — The number of unemployed Canadians jumped sharply in July to 878,000, an increase of 64.000 from a month earlier, Statistics Canada reported recently The unemployment rate, adjusted for seasonal factors, rose to 8 1 per cent of the labor force from eight per cent in June In June, there were 814,000 unemployed and a year earlier there were 775,000 jobless The actual unemployment rate in July was 7.9 per cent, compared with 7.2 per cent in July, 1976, and 7.5 per cent in June this year.The federal agency said that five provinces showed significantly higher unemployment rates, with Quebec leading The jobless rate in that province jumped to 10.3 per cent from 9.7 per cent in June The hard-hit Atlantic provinces showed a mixed picture in July.The unemployment rate eased to 15.3 per cent from 15.7 per cent in June in Newfoundland In Nova Scotia, jobless rates fell to 10.1 per cent last month from 11.1 per cent in June.But in Prince Edward Island, unemployment rose to 9.8 per cent of the work force from 9.7 per cent in June, and in New Brunswick it increased to 12.9 per cent jobless from 12.8 per cent in June.STILL LOWEST The unemployment rate also rose in Alberta, to 4.5 per cent of the province’s work force last month from 4 1 per cent in June.This was still the lowest provincial unemployment rate.In British Columbia, jobless rates increased to 8.5 per cent of the work force from 8.3 per cent in June.Unemployment declined in the five other provinces In Ontario, unemployment eased to 6 8 per cent from 7.2 per cent in June Manitoba’s jobless rate fell to 5.8 per cent last month from 6 1 per cent in June.In Saskatchewan, the jobless rate was 4.5 per cent, down from 4 8 per cent in June and the same rate as in July a year ago The increase in the number of unemployed during July follows a decline in June, when the number of jobless Canadians declined by 10,000.For the past 11 months, unemployment rates have been running significantly higher than a year earlier July’s rate compares with 7.3 per cent jobless in July, 1976 But it is still below the post-Depression peak hit in April of 8.3 per cent jobless The July figures show that young workers continue to be severely affected by high unemployment rates.For students planning to return to school in the fall, the jobless rate was 15.1 per cent.The unemployment rate for men aged 15 to 24 was up to 7.4 per cent from 7.3 per cent in June.Women in the same age group showed a 9.3 per cent unemployment rate last month, up from 9.2 per cent in June.Men 25 and over had a 5.1 per cent unemployment rate, the same as in June.For women 25 and over, the rate eased to 6.9 per cent from 7.2 per cent in June.The number of people with jobs last month increased to 9,743,000 from 9,731,000 in June Unemployment rates in major urban centres ranged from a high of 16.4 per cent in Chicoutimi-Jonquiere, Que , to 4.6 per cent in Hamilton, Ont.Of the 878,000 unemployed last month, close to one-third - 251,000 - had been searching for work for more ihan 14 weeks.Statistics Canada said.With Parliament resuming yesterday to consider legislation to end the air controllers’ strike, opposition members can be expected to attack the government over the latest jobless figures Lates f;gures for inflation are to be published by Statistics Canada on Friday, and they are likely to show that prices have also escalated in July.Dominion Textile profits up MONTREAL - The following preliminary unaudited results for the year ended June 30, 1977, have been issued by Ronald H.Perowne, chairman of the board of Dominion Textile Limited.Sales were $498,939,000, up from $475,420,000 the preceding year.Earnings for the year were $1.87 per share before an extraordinary charge of 16 cents per share resulting from write-offs of leases and full amortization of assets relating to the double knit operations in the United States.In the year ended June 30, 1976, earnings were $1.23 per share.Voluntary restraint support endangered by Ottawa’s tactics OTTAWA (CP) — Federal efforts to win organized labor’s support for voluntary wage restraint are being endangered by government tactics to end the current air traffic controllers’ strike, the Canadian Labor Congress, CLC, warned Monday.CLC President Joe Morris said that recalling Parliament to legislate an end to the controllers’ strike “is bound to have a serious effect on our people’s consideration of government proposals with regard to the determination of wage and price controls ” The government has been trying to get business and labor support for voluntary restraint as a pre-condition for ending the anti-inflation program before its scheduled expiry at the end of 1978 The CLC is meeting later this week with represen tatives of employers and with its 114 affiliated unions to decide upon its response to the federal proposals In his statement, Morris said the CLC had warned the government previously that imposing controls would restrict collective bargaining “Wage controls have abrogated the free collective bargaining system,” he said “We run the risk of reaching a stage where there will be no settlements between labor and management without government intervention.” He also criticized Transport Minister Otto Lange for his comments during the weekend that the govern ment may restrict the right to strike for workers in industries where a shutdown damages the economy Morris said that “not only would such legislation grievously diminish the rights of public employees, but also might infringe upon the rights of workers in the private sector ” Dollar Close MONTREAL (CP) - U S dollar in terms of Canadian funds closed Tuesday up 17-50 at $1 0770 Pound

bylaw effective as constitutionality questioned By MARLENE ORTON OTTAWA (CP) — After seven months, Ottawa’s new and controversial antismoking bylaw seems to be working, in the sense that no one has been charged since it came into effect Jan 1 But although a number of other Canadian cities have copied the law or expressed interest in doing so, no one is sure just how strong it is.That will be determined when it is tested in the courts.Actually, Ottawa has had a non-smoking law since 1950—revised in 1974— banning smoking in stores occupied by 25 or more employees, but it was little publicized and largely ignored The new bylaw tightened smoking restrictions and forced proprietors of public places to designate nosmoking areas at the risk of being fined Smoking now is banned in all retail stores, patient-care areas in hospitals, banks, municipal offices, elevators, stairways, reception areas and public-service lines Taxi drivers have the right to prevent passengers from lighting up and taxi passengers have the same right with drivers.Violations of the bylaw carries a maximum fine of $1,000 The ban has served as a model for other Canadian cities and towns wanting to control smoking.Calgary’s city council has asked commissioners to draw up similar legislation and Toronto has approved a non-smoking bylaw which goes into effect Oct.1.“We get inquiries from many other municipalities, mainly in Ontario, asking how we went about putting the bylaw into effect,” said municipal information director Douglas Payne He said most callers are interested in public reaction to the bylaw.“After all,” said Edna Eisenberg, past president of XvX; >x-x-x-x;x;:v.; $i;8 mm I III sIlIKHROOkl RECORD Only English daily in the Eastern Townships Published by Townships Communications

TttWD aim the Ottawa-Hull Non-Smokers Association and the driving force behind the smoking ban, “we are trying to get people to change their lifestyle because for many years they have been used to smoking in public areas.” Mrs.Eisenberg, who began campaigning for provincial and municipal smoking bans in 1973, said her 2,000-member organization receives numerous requests from non-smoker groups across the country asking for encouragement and advice in approaching their local officials for a similar ban.COMPLAINTS RARE Police Inspector George Zhukow, whose morality squad is responsible for enforcing the ban, said the public seems to support the bylaw and his department rarely receives complaints about violations.“There is no way the police constables could go into every store to see if people are breaking the law,” Shukow said.“The public has reacted well to the bylaw.” The only smoking violations in evidence, said Edith Dronshek, the city lawyer who drafted the bylaw, are found in places which do not post the mandatory no-smoking signs.“The bylaw has worked because the public has attempted to make it work,” she said.“And that is why we have never made a prosecution ” Enforcing the bylaw still is a major issue and when the ban first went into effect, city councillors argued that it should be rigidly enforced by directing a police constable to the scene of the crime.MAYOR TRANSGRESSED Once Mayor Lorry Greenberg and several members of the press lit up at a council meeting.They were ordered to “butt out” by an alderman, who called police.A constable arrived minutes later to find a grinning mayor with an unsavory looking coffee cup.The alderman decided not to lay charges City Solicitor Don Ham-bling’s major concern is whether the city had the legal authority to enact the bylaw.He said the then minister of intergovernmental affairs, John White, approved the bylaw, citing sections of the Municipal Act respecting fire matters and public health, safety and welfare as proper authority.But Hambling still questions the constitutionality of the ban.“I expressed the contrary opinion saying those sections do not give the authority, but board of control decided to enact the bylaw ” ^ Hambling said Toronto illegal department officials j:j have expressed the same v concerns about the smoking § ban £ STATUS UNCERTAIN “The only way to find out iris to wait for a test case and £ we’ll find out when someone takes it to the courts But the $ courts have already said & where there is a municipal £: law dealing with smoking.$ the city cannot rely on the £ fire section of the act forg: anything outside fire mat- *: ters “If the government had wanted to deal with a matter like smoking under the health and welfare section, they would have specified that in the Municipal Act.” Most non-smokers would not bring a smoker to court, said Mrs.Eisenberg “But we hope smokers will realize the immediate effects of tobacco smoke on people with allergies, asthma, bronchitis and other ailments.” The onus is on store-owners and employees, rather than anti-smokers, to ask a smoker to put out a cigarette, she said.Name change pondered for Anglican Church MONTREAL (CP) — The Anglican Church of Canada will discuss a proposal to change its name to the Episcopal Church of Canada at its general synod which starts Thursday in Calgary, a spokesman said Monday.Rev Thomas Whitcroft, director of social services for the church’s Montreal diocese, said in a telephone interview that Rt.Rev.Reginald Hollis, Bishop of Montreal, has requested the subject be discussed.The Ottawa diocese of the Anglican church, which has jurisdiction in part of Quebec, recently passed a Jack Anderson’s Washington Merry-Go-Round Corporate giants put the squeeze on bv Jack Anderson and Les Whitten Corporate Pressure: Two corporate giants, General Motors and Procter A Gamble, have used their economic clout to block the establishment of the proposed Consumer Protection Agency White House sources tell us that both companies threatened to withdraw business from Blue Cross unless the medical insurer softened its support of the consumer agency Blue Crofcs insures approximately 750,000 General Motors workers and about 50,000 Procter & Gamble employees President Carter has endorsed the Consumer Protection Agency, which would become the consumers’ official advocate in Washington But many corporations fear it would develop into a bureaucratic Ralph Nader that would constantly hound them Business lobbyists have been swarming over Capitol Hill, therefore, to oppose the creation of the new agency But the Blue Cross Association, in behalf of its 84 million members, wrote a strong letter to President Carter on June 1 supporting the proposed agency “We do not look upon the Agency for Consumer Advocacy as a potential opponent.” declared the letter, “but as a partner in identifying consumer issues and meeting consumer needs ” We have checked out the next development carefully with trustworthy sources.They say that Blue Cross executives heard from both General Motors and Procter A Gamble According to these sources.General Motors threatened to withdraw some employees from Blue Cross insurance unless the association changed its tune.Procter A Gamble made a similar threat to invoke “economic sanctions’’ against Blue Cross, our sources say Spokesman for both companies vigorously denied that General Motors or Procter A Gamble had threatened Blue Cross in any way An official Blue Cross spokesman acknowledged that several corporations, including General Motors and Procter A Gamble, had protested the Blue Cross letter But he also denied that any companies had threatened to withdraw business Nevertheless, White House sources say that Washington representatives of Blue Cross called the White House consumer office and tried to water down the June 1 letter A Blue Cross executive told the White House sheepishly that the association was not supporting any particular bill.Yet the June 1 letter specifically mentioned the proposed Agency for Consumer Advocacy The executive also said the Association could not speak for its 84 million members.Yet the June 1 letter emphasized the 84 million membership In the end, the Blue Cross official mentioned that the letter was being weakened to “placate*’ corporate clients He also confided that General Motors and Procter A Gamble had threatened economic retaliation TV TERROR — The average high school graduate, in addition to his formal education, has witnessed 18,000 murders on television He has also had a ringside seat to “countless incidents of robbery, arson, bombing, forgery, beating and smuggling ” Yet the characters who cavort on the nation's television screens during prime time are more aggressive than ever Not only has violence reached its highest level in prime time, it is even worse on Saturday mornings Twice as much physical aggression is shown on the Saturday children's shows These are the conclusions of a confidential study by the House Communications Subcommittee The release of the report has been mysteriously held up for weeks Some committee members, say our sources, don’t want to embarrass the network brass as they are lining up their fall program schedules However, we have obtained a bootleg copy The researchers counted 42 antisocial acts per average hour on television.This amounts to one bad example for children every program minute.The violence level dipped slightly in 1974 but then soared 20 per cent during 1975-76, the study found.Much of the increase has come during the family viewing hours All three networks claim they have reduced the violent content of their programs But the subcommittee found that only CBS had restricted violence “The industry has not yet been able to come to grips with the problem,” the report charges, “despite years of attention to it.” The study cites evidence that television definitely influences young minds.“Aggressive-prone children are susceptible to televised violence.” the report charges “The viewing of televised violence tends to reduce children's inhibitions against acting violently; some children may copy what they see ” Rep John Murphy, D -N.Y., added a supplement to the report, warning that children have been injured trying to imitate the acts they have seen on the tube Footnote Disputing the confidential findings, network executives strenuously maintained that violent “action programs’’ have decreased over the last few years Less than 10 per cent of ABC's new fall schedule, for example, contains action shows, a spokesman contended An NBC spokesman also claimed his network had reduced the violence content of its programs CBS not only has cut out some police shows, but is the only network to monitor television programming in an effort to reduce of violence resolution supporting the name change and will introduce the motion at the synod.Whitcroft said he thinks all six dioceses in Quebec will support the name change because “to the francophone ear the name l’Eglise Anglicane sounds like the name of an ethnic church or the English church.” He said delegations from Ontario and Western Canada may oppose the idea because they “may see it as just another infringement from south of the border ” The bishops may not want to follow the 200-year-old precedent of the church in the United States, which renamed itself Episcopal at the time of independence from Britain.CITE EXAMPLES Those who favor a name change argue there are two other countries where the Anglican church is known as the Episcopal church: Scotland, where the Queen is its spiritual leader, and Brazil.If there is opposition to the resolution at Calgary its supporters may seek a compromise solution, Whitcroft said.This would involve retaining the present name but adding the words “often known as the Episcopal church” so local congregations would not be obliged to change their legal names of incorporation.Thirty years ago the church changed its name from The Church of England of Canada to the Anglican Church of Canada.In its submission to Quebec national assembly hearings into Bill 101, the province’s proposed language legislation, the church said that while its first priests in Quebec in the 18th century spoke and led worship in French, “respect for and the need for cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church led us to limit our preaching in French.“However, we are not an ethnic church and we look forward to the development of more francophone congregations.” The denomination’s two largest congregations in the province are in Montreal with 58,000 followers and in Quebec City which has 16,000 followers Carter school-mate to control US spies WASHINGTON (AP) — | White House officials are sensitive about calling an old college classmate of President Carter the U S “intelligence czar,” but CIA Diector Stansfield Turner is getting unprecedented power over the country’s spy community.Under an administration plan announced recently to centralize control of intelligence operations, Turner will have authority over the budgets, goals and activities of the country’s spy agencies The plan places Turner, a US.Naval Academy classmate of Carter, in charge of a special centre setting out the tasks of individual agencies Turner also will head a National Security Council committee which will define the nation's intelligence needs.Jody Powell, White House press secretary, said the plan, the result of a study that began last spring, gives Turner new responsibilities But he said.“It retains with the department of defence the authority they believe they need to accomplish their mission and strengthens the role of the National Security Council.” In addition, he said, it gives the so-called consumers of intelligence information, government decision makers, direction over the work of the spy agencies Carter’s reorganization makes three major changes - It establishes within the NSC a policy review committee, made up of the secretaries of state, defence and the treasury, and Carter’s national security assista nt, Zbigniew Brzezinski.The panel, headed by Turner, will assign and define priorities for intelligence agencies and analyze their work - It sets up a National Intelligence Tasking Centre to assign specific duties to the agencies The centre will function under Turner during peace-time and under the secretary of defence during times of war or other crises # ir^mrririTiiiTTTinnniinnnfiniinnnnnniiiiuifii^ At your

After three years of litigation for his role in the movie Deep Throat, actor Harry Reems said Thursday he has decided to ask the courts to require the U S government to pay his legal defence bill Reems was convicted in US.District Court in Memphis in 1976 on charges of conspiring to transport obscene materials across state lines The conviction was overturned on March 25, but the indictment against Reems has not been dismissed, he said The case has cost Reems more than $97,000, and he said Thursday his lawyers will file a motion in the federal court in Memphis asking that the government pick up the tab Reems’s legal defence fund has raised about $80 TV signal from the main cable to a residence.Monday’s decision leaves the ownership of this equipment in the hands of cable operators.But the CRTC also said for the first time that cable operators must share with other companies the use of the drops This opens the door for a host of new types of electronic services to be provided by cable, but leaves the cable operators with the final say about the kinds of services that may be offered The issue over the ownership of cable equipment in Manitoba has been nagging the CRTC for about three years and has blocked the development of cable TV in the province The issue came to a head last year when the CRTC rejected three cable licence applications that would have allowed the Manitoba telephone company to own the disputed equipment Following those decisions, federal Communications Minister Jeanne Sauve and the Manitoba government struck a landmark agreement that gave the provincial phone company the right to own the equipment Mrs.Sauve also had cabinet set aside the three controversial cable licence decisions, which was the first time the cabinet had ever exercised that power Broadcasting observers have said the Manitoba ownership issue is highly significant because it challenged the CRTC’s right to make decisions that are free from the political arena and challenged Ottawa’s power to make federal-provincial communications’ deals that were respected by the CRTC VIEWED AS PRELUDE The Manitoba pact is viewed as a prelude to Ottawa giving the provinces a larger role in communications' matters Que bec does not acknowledge Ottawa’s claim to have jurisdiction over communications, while Saskatchewan is trying to bypass federal control on communications by setting up a closed-circuit pay TV system Manitoba had interpreted the pact with Ottawa to mean that it had the right to regulate a number of services that can be delivered by cable, but which the province considered to be non-broadcasting services.These include such services as a grocery price guide, TV program listings and wire service news printouts But the CRTC ruled that those particular services are part of the broadcasting system, and therefore are federally regulated However, such services, known in the trade as alphanumeric services, will have to be decided in future on an individual basis because it is too complex an issue to arrive at a blanket definition of what is part of broadcasting, the CRTC said In one of Monday’s decisions, the CRTC gave approval in principle to the Greater Winnipeg Cablevision Ltd.’s application to start such services as a grocery price guide listing and a TV programs guide But full approval was deferred until the cable company works out a deal with the Manitoba phone company about how to broadcast those services to make the maximum use of unused channels that do not require a converter to be received The CRTC also renewed the company’s licence until March 31, 1982, subject to that and other conditions Other Manitoba decisions released by the CRTC Monday include: —Approval of Portage Community Cablevision Ltd s application to start a cable company in Portage La Prairie i •J — THK SIIKKKKOOKK KK('OKI)— WED.\I G.IU.1977 LOOK, FARCIE! f) 1977 United Feature Syndicat* Inc MR5.BARTLEY 15 TRYING TO PUSH MR5.N£LS0N'S HEAP INTO THE BALL U)A5HêR!

truly pleasurable time doing it During the afternoon a raffle was held A member of the Cowansville Club drew the first ticket, and Lois Blanchette won the pillows, and.with another Cowansville member draw ing the ticket, w ith the name of Jean Jamieson, a hand painted bottle was won.Along with oils and charcoal.pastels, the art class also does bottle painting and design works, and this raffled

the coolness and shade w ithin sight and sound of the falls and rapids The Sher-Lenn Fifty Plus Club were the guests of the Bury Athletic Association for the July 1st celebrations Mr I^irs Hansen extended an invitation to the Sher Lenn on behalf of the Bury Athletic Society, and.with their kind provision of trans portât ion.many of the Sher Lenners were able to attend this most outstanding celebration of Canada Day Transportation being one of the main problems of all senior citizens clubs, this generous courtesy was most gratefully appreciated On July 5.the Sher Lenn travelled to St Paul's de L Ile aux Noix for a picnic and tour of Fort Lennox The history of this site is of great interest to residents of this area, and the restora tion of the fort is progress ing further each year towards complete restora tion of this most historic site The only fault of this trip could be found in the too short ferry ride to and from the island' The Sorel Island Cruise on July 26 was again a plea sant trip A strong w ind kept many within the enclosed part of the ship, but it was a most interesting and beauti ful cruise A tour of Tracy and Sorey was made before returning to Sherbrooke/ Lennoxville.So much of this area of Quebec holds much history and local interest, a truly beautiful country to explore and to know June and July brought all sorts of weather, but every Tuesday designated for a Sher-Lenn trip was perfect Bingo was held on July 6th and a raffle was also held on this day Maple syrup, donated by Mrs Dor cas French, and drawing made by Mrs Frances Neill,

LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER The lighthouse stands in a far out place Unshaken by the storm ; The light beams over across the way To guide men safely home.Several may be lost or foundering —Or there may be only one — Still the keeper, never sleeping.Ever constant watch is keeping.From his station high and free He will look out for you and me.MARG.MILLER, Bedford.Que.DO YOUR BEST When you're up against a problem.Do your best.When there seems to be no answer.Do your best ; This will take a lot of will.But life’s not always all up hill.Grit your teeth, and hold your chin up -Do your best If your best friends turn against you, do your best.Maybe they don’t really hate you.Do your best.True forgiveness is a virtue.To harbour anger only hurts you -So wipe the slate, and overlook it.Do your best To keep your head above the water.Do your best.If your finances begin to totter do your best.So to keep ahead of “Pa Time s’’ sickle Don’t just work for dimes and nickels.Forget yourself, and think of others -Do your best.EDNA WILSON Waterville.Que.SMILES There are forced smiles, false smiles and flirtatious smiles.There are sweet smiles, loveable smiles and happy smiles.There are teasing smiles, courageous smiles and wistful Mona Lisa smiles.But the important smile ah yes, the important smile Is the sincere smile that costs nothing, but oh my, it is worth such a lot.A lovely smile can welcome a newcomer to town.To take fear out of a tiny tot Or wipe away a frown An encouraging smile will lend comfort to the sick and elderly.Also brighten up the darkest corner in someone’s life.An understanding smile can put a song into the heart of the lonely Or ease the pain of innermost strife An honest smile can create a new and everlasting friendship.And also remove negative thoughts and pangs of hardship The habit of a true smile is blessed to the giver And strengthens inner peace for the receiver A warm smile will expand a glimmer of hope In those who find it hard to cope With little injustices and daily problems in the making There are people who slowly die inwardly every day.Thus a sincere smile, a kind word, an understanding heart Yes’ even an “I will remember you when I pray".Will prevent the thin thread from breaking And kindle the flickering flame of life w ith a new spark MARIA BRAY.Mav 1.197- REGULAR CUT BLADE ROAST STEER BEEF CANADA A-1.A-2 EASY TO SLICE CROSS
