music of O, Canada.It was shown publicly for the first time Monday at the end of the CBC’s telecast of Governor-General Schreyer's investiture.“I still get goose pimples when I see it and I’ve seen it more than 70 times,” said the film's producer.Dorothy Courtois, in an interview Wednesday.The viewer first gets a breath-taking view over a dog team in the Arctic, then races across the Prairies to

staged their fourth 24-hour strike in nine days, paralysing the state-run rail system today and adding to the woes of snowbound, strike-plagued Britons.Only 40 of 600 trains ran.leaving most of the 400.000 commuters into London every weekday to look for other transportation.Some of the few that ran.jammed with passengers, took three hours to travel 10 kilometres.Commuters who took to the icy roads fared little better Traffic jams snarled London streets, slippery because the workmen who usually sand them are on strike.The forecast was for worse weather and more strikes.The 180,000-member Civil and Public Services Association, biggest of the civil service unions, voted 2 to 1 for a one-day strike next month plus other slowdowns to emphasize demands for a 20-per-cent pay raise One of the group’s members about eight are expected said Wednesday the group is protesting efforts to “do a snow job*’ on the American press and pub lie.They say they are particularly upset by Quebec regu

country’s textile industry Wednesday and came away with a standing ovation.Chretien made no secret of the forthcoming federal election, devoting most of his off-the-cuff speech to politicking and barbed comments about the mishaps of Conservative leader Joe ( lark’s recent world tour “I guess it's about time that I become a little bit political,” he told the Canadian Textile Institute’s annual meeting.“We’re not perfect by far, but the alternative is just awful.” Textile brass, known for their worried calls seeking government protection from low-priced imports, laughed heartily and applauded freely as Chretien poked fun at his own salary, world problems and political ri vais Having disarmed the au dience, the minister knifed in with a warning that gains registered by textile com

Diefenbaker, who at best achieved a draw in his dash with Trudeau, said the prime minister was “transcentally happy” and “truculent.” Drapeau flounders over Games costs MONTREAL (CP) Mayor Jean Drapeau floundered before a provincial inquiry into Olympic costs Wednesday when it came to recalling details about how the Olympic Village was built First, the mayor vigorously denied attending a meeting with former Liberal premier Robert Bourassa when the con tractor chosen to build the village appealed for a government loan A few moments later, he backtracked when presented with a letter from a businessman involved in building the village, which mentioned talking with Drapeau and Bourassa at the same time Drapeau also told the inquiry he could neither remember whether formal tenders were offered for the project, nor the identities of six contractors who “confidentially” offered him proposals The Olympic Village, built by Les Terrasses Zarolega.ended up with a price tag of $95.5 million—more than triple its original estimate of $30.5 million The firm’s contract required it finance the project by itself The idea.Drapeau said at the time, was to ensure that the village not cost the city any money According to this plan, the developer would let the city use the village free during the Games in exchange for the favorable publicity generated by the spectacle But it didn't work out that way, the three-man com mission headed by Superior Court Justice Albert Malouf heard.Zarolega found itself about $9 million short and turned to the Bourassa government for help The firm and some of its officers are facing criminal charges in con nection with the cost in crease In the letter, presented to Drapeau by inquiry counsel Gilles Trudel.one of the Zarolega partners wrote Drapeau that “we knew from the beginning that this project faces certain problems due to its special roh*.and we made this very clear to you and, in your presence, to Mr Bourassa.” After his initial denial.Drapeau studied the 1974 letter with his lawyer while the courtroom waited in silence for his response “I must have received the letter.” he said at last “But l certainly never asked anything of Bourassa “It's a possibility, maybe the meeting took place, but I certainly didn't make a special trip to see Bourassa with representatives of Les Terrasses Zarolega I never asked Bourassa to help with financing for the company.” Earlier, Drapeau told the inquiry why he ignored advice against building the village* proffered by the city's housing and urban planning directors Housing director Guy Ix'gault has testified that in 1973 he recommended de centralizing the village into less costly duplexes Voyageur breakthrough unlikely MONTREAL (CP) There is no sign of a breakthrough in the strike* by Voyageur drivers which has drastically curtailed inter city bus service in Quebec for more than a month Talks won t resume for at least several more days because the federal mediator has ordered a recess, osten siblyso he can take a short vacation, company spokesman Roland Besner said Wednesday “In other words, each side was sent home to learn its lesson and come back later w ith a better attitude.” Besner added The300 drivers, affiliated with the International Broth erhood of Teamsters, want to be paid by the hour instead of by the mile Besner said the company is willing to go to an hourly wage system, but with certain conditions and qualifications, and that is what has caused the break down The walkout has forced Voyageur to suspend all service except to points in Ontario and northwestern Quebec Drivers on those routes belong to the Canadian Brotherhixxl of Railway, Transport and General Workers and signed a new contract recently 0993 Ill MIKKBKOOKK RECORD - Till KS„ JAN.25.1979 ( business and finance Workmen rip away tin* roof of (his rowhouse to expose sheathing in.ih i i.il damaged by condensation caused by c\cessi\e hiiinidi(\ inside the house.There have been cases where roofs on houses huilt as recently as four years earlier have been so severely damaged by condensation, they had to he replaced.High humidity idea oversold In recent years, we Canadians have been oversold on the idea that we can set our house thermostats lower and save heat by keeping the humidity of our houses high The fact is most people do not appear to notice a difference m their thermal comfort if the relative humidity is as low as 25 per cent or as high as 60 per cent Relative humidities lower than 20 per cent make your nose feel dry, can result in static electricity and the shrinkage of wood furniture, flooring and panelling In winter, the relative humidity of a house should not he any higher than 40 per cent (30 per cent is best).If the moisture content of the ir goes above that, there will likely he problems of condensation on cold window panes and walls with resulting water damage to the house.When tin* air in a house is too wet, it can cause problems Moisture con- densing on windows, in addition to being a nuisance because it reduces visibility, can decay window frames On interior wall surfaces condensed moisture can foster mold growths Excessive internal humidity combined with construction defects can cause much more serious problems There are unfortunate examples of houses in Canada where poor installation of vapour barriers has resulted in the excessive humidity of the houses leaking into the attic to decay the roof framing Entire roofs have had to be ripped away and replaced on houses only four years old What can we do about excessive humidity?Ventilation is accomplished naturally in houses heated bv fuel fired furnaces.The air consumed by these furnaces in burning the fuel is replaced by drier-outside air, thereby helping to keep humidity levels down.Rut with electrically-heated houses, it’s a different story.Here condensation problems tend to be more severe because the operation of the heating system does not automatically change the air Owners of electrically heated houses can install exhaust fans or open windows a bit to let the humid air escape In fact.Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation insists that exhaust fans be installed in all electrically heated houses built under the National Housing Act.ÇMHC is assembling in formation on the problems of home condensation and exper nee has shown that, even when electrically heated houses are equipped with ventilation fans, people are reluctant to use them because they are aware that the fans are blowing away expensive heat The l>est solution to this problem would seem to be some device that would blow out excessively humid air, yet recover the heat from the air before it escapes outdoors If the heat loss associated with ventilation could be reduced significantly, people in electrically-heated homes would be more inclined to control humidity levels through ventilation.Experimental work by different agencies in Canada indicates that up to about 80 per cent of the heat in exhaust air can be recovered by a mechanical system that would either be humidistat-controlled or be set to run continuously at a given air change rate The heat recovered from outgoing air would Ik* used to pre heat incoming cold air A prerequisite for such a system would be a tightly-built house where the normal accidental air change which occurs due to air leakage could Ik* replaced by controlled air change through the mechanical system business briefs Pelletier announces local contract OTTAWA Irenee Pelletier, the Member of Parliament for Sherbrooke, announced

year?CALGARY (CP) — Inside workers could be on picket lines again next year if post office conditions don't im prove, says Jean-Claude Parrot, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers The workers are not afraid to go on strike again des pi te court actions.RCMP raids on union offices and continuing management attacks.Parrot told a news conference recently, after a speech to the Calgary Labor Council “We would go on strike again if we felt it was necessary.The law doesn’t give us that right, it just takes it away.” Parrot was referring to back-to-work legislation that ended last year’s walkout by the inside workers He said what happens in 1980.when inside workers are again able to strike, will depend to some extent on an arbitration report expected Feb.28.“We never said there would never be any more problems.If in 1980 nothing has occurred 1 don’t know what our decision would be, but I do know our employer is trying to take away what we already have We won’t let what happened last year affect our decision on what action we would take.” In his labor council speech.Parrot criticized Post master-General Gilles Lamontagne, who said last week the firing of 500 inside workers would clean up the post office.The union leader said Lamontagne was appointed post master-general “to get the postal workers.” SAYS ‘HATCHET MAN* “We call him the Hatchet Man because his only pur pose is to defeat CUPW ” The union has asked for Lamontagne’s resignation.Parrot said a decision by Prime Minister Trudeau to replace Lamontagne would acknowledge that something is wrong in the postal system CUPW wants an independent inquiry into post office administration.“I don’t think we are involved in the thefts and laziness people charge us with, but if we are responsible for some things it proves there is something wrong with the administration “We have one supervisor for every five or six employees.and investigators.mirrors and supervisory galleries everywhere If the allegations are true then the supervisory people must be incompetents Parrot said the last confrontation with the government proved the solidarity of postal union membership “()ur fight now is to get our rights back—most importantly our right to negotiate With the support of other unions there is no doubt we w ill win.” Grain rail cars not enough, farmers say WINNIPEG (CP) - Three Prairie far mers take a dim view of the 2,000 new hopper cars the Canadian wheat board is buying to bolster grain hauling capability in Western Canada “The wheat board should mind its own damned business and sell our grain instead of using our money to buy cars,” said Daniel Dumont of Falher.Alta His angry comment followed Tuesday’s announcement that the board will spend up to $89 6 million of farmers’ money to purchase the cars.Lorenzo Hudon of Zenon Park, Sask , said he doesn’t accept the board’s argument that more grain cars are needed in the system to avoid a recurrence of the shipping backlogs that last year cost farmers $450 million in lost sales.“I don’t think there is a shortage of cars in the first place,” Hudon said in an interview “Cars are sitting idle all over the place.It’s just poor administration of the cars they have.” But, he added, if there is in fact a shor tage, the farmer should not be forced to pay for new ones.“1 think the railways should pay for them I’m starting to think the Crow rate is really a burden to us If we changed the Crow rate maybe the railways would give us better service.” He was referring to the Crowsnest Pass statutory freight rates on grain which the railways say do not generate enough revenue to meet the costs of grain hauling or to buy new rolling stock Peter Suderman of Killarney, Man., said more cars probably are needed in the transportation network but the cost should not be borne by the farmer “Why should we be the only group that has to pay for moving our own product?” The board announcement said the 2,000 steel hopper cars, each with a capacity of 100 tonnes, have been ordered from three successful bidders: National Steel Car Corp Ltd.of Hamilton.Hawker Siddeley Canada Ltd.of Trenton.N.S., and Marine Industries Ltd of Sorel, Que Under the contracts, delivery of the new cars w ill begin in September and completed by February, 1980.Based on present prices, each car would cost $41.000 but provisions have been made for possible cost increases which could boost the price to $44,800 for each car.Sherman home campaign Allan Lebourveau.manager of the Scot-stown branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce

favor of other taxes—on sales or income, for example— “would result in a break down of our economic system.” a study on municipal financing in New Brunsw ick has concluded The study, commissioned last year by the New Brunsw ick government after complaints from the municipalities, which rely heavily on municipal property taxes for their revenue, says “property is the basis of real wealth.” “To relieve it of taxation would invite speculation, greatly increase property values, distort investment and create a wealthy and powerful land-owner class.” It adds that “claims that the property tax is unfair are not well-founded’’ and concludes that the tax system should remain Export exec slams CIDA MONTREAL (CP) - The head of a local export management company has alleged the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is “a nest of patronage run by bureau crats” after his company an $8-million supply basic three African lost out on contract to materials to countries.In a recently published interview, Claude Belanger, president of SOGECIF International Inc., said a tacit agreement exists between competitors for CIDA contracts not to dispute the Crown corporation’s decisions in the hope of getting a “slice of the cake” later The “cake” this year is $1.21 billion, CIDA’s 1978-79 budget Over the past 10 years, the agency has spent $6.24 billion in developmental aid to Third World countries Belanger said his company and three others bid for a contract to supply machinery, tools, building materials and other goods to Upper Volta, Senegal and Zaire after CIDA asked for tenders last July 19 By Nov.16.Belanger said he had learned that SODEVCO, a personnel consulting firm in Hull.Que., would be awarded the contract, although no official decision had been announced by External Affairs Minister Don Jamieson, whose department is in charge of CIDA substantially unchanged.The study, released today by the municipal affairs department, says the municipal financing system in New Brunswick “is the most advanced in Canada” and the envy of other provinces.LOAD IS LOW’ “There is much good evidence to show that the actual load of taxation on real property in this province is one of the lowest in Canada ” It points to a February, 1978, study by Royal Trust as proof The survey checked taxes across Canada on two types of homes The first had about 1,200 square feet, full basement, three bedrooms and a garage The second was a two-storey, four-bedroom brick house with 2,000 square feet The first was in an average neighborhood, the second in a prime residential area Both were five to eight years old ‘Listen to ordinary people9 — banker CALGARY (CP) The chairman of the Bank of Montreal suggested Tuesday that governments w ishing to help Canada's economy should listen to what ordinary people are saying “They’re saying to government get off my back, get your hands out of my pocket, stop wasting my money,”* chairman Fred McNeil told a news conference At the news conference, one of a series being held across the country as bank executives meet business leaders and publicize bank economic projections.McNeil was asked what government could do to quicken economic growth “The less the government does the better.” he replied “Leave people alone We re a venturesome people If we re left alone we ll go forward ” The bank, however, is not expecting much forward progress this year It projects 2 25 percent real economic growth nationally, dow n from last year’s 3.5 per cent and well under the 2 4 per cent predicted Monday by the Uonference Board in Canada, a prominent research organization In Alberta, bank officials added, real growth should be about half a percentage point above the predicted 2.25-percent national average The Conference Board predicted lour per cent growth for Alberta Asked if a change of government in Ottawa would help.McNeil indicated that he has doubts about Progressive Conservative Leader Joe ('lark’s approach “It was disappointing.I think, to hear Mr ( lark talking about a bigger deficit but a better one.*’ ('lark's policy is unclear and “it remains to be seen” whether it will be adequate.McNeil said I he federal Liberal government’s deficit this year w ill be a “W ildly inflationary” $12 million.McNeil said But he added that there are signs of hope because governments generally seem to be trying to restrain spending growth and reduce regulations which cripple business development Bank vice president Grant Reuber of Montreal said an other promising sign is the 7

lose second candidate MONTREAL (CP) The Progressive Conservative party lost its second federal election candidate in as many weeks here Wednesday Wayne Sw im, a 34-year old chartered accountant nominated in west-end Notre-Dame-de-Grace riding, tiowed out for “business reasons ” The resignation of Swim, who probably would have opposed Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Warren Allmand, follows that of school board com missioner Winnifred Potter who was to run in Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s north-end Mount Royal riding Sw im was nominated last March when rumors of an im minent election were flying.But the long wait “played absolute havoc with my business affairs,’’ he said in an interview Wednesday “The cost and time commitment just became too great.” Schreyer plans Quebec visit OTTAWA (CP) In his first trip away from Ottawa as Governor-General, Edward Schreyer and his wife Lily will fly to Quebec City Jan.30 to meet Premier Rene Levesque and open the Winter Carnival.A Government House spokesman said Wednesday the Schreyers will fly to the provincial capital on a defence department Cosmo aircraft.They will be met at the airport by LL Gov Joseph Cote and will stay in the historic Citadel overlooking the old city of Quebec Charest controversy rages QUEBEC C'anada needs a new constitution urgently, but not all the people are convinced Recent soundings by TheCanaduan Press in internets across the country turned up little sense of urgency , even in the face of threatened separation by Quebec But people sometimes say they would like to see change that would amount to amend ment of the country's basic political system Prime Minister Trudeau, launching a campaign last June 12 for a new constitution by 1981, cited “the crisis threatening the stability, unity and prosperity of the country.” The crisis, says Marc Lalonde.Trudeau s minister of federal provincial relations, is the Quebec independence movement and the economic uncertainty it ha> caused Quebec’s decision on its future, Lalonde says, “will turn in large part on our ability to show the reasonable majority in Quebec that they do not need to leave our federation as Premier Levesque says they do- in order to preserve their language and culture .” PR KM I KltS XGREE The 10 provincial premiers, after some hesitation and haggling, finally agreed with Trudeau Nov 1 on “the importance and urgency of constitutional change They set up an early February conference to pursue the issue But outside the political arena, reactions range from cool to cautious to hostile Some say there are more pressing priorities, an idea summed up succinctly in a current window sticker “First things first— Jobs ’ Others say leave well enough alone Ross Thomas, who drives a cab in Halifax: “The constitution we have has lasted more than 1(H) years, so it must be pretty good, eh?” There are those, including opposition politicians, who suspect the campaign for a new constitution is timed by the federal Liberals to bolster their 1979 re-election chances Doug Elliot, Edmonton ac countant, says: “You know what this constitutional thing is all about?It's Trudeau He wants to get elected and go down in history as the one who gave Canada a new constitution.” And many resent Ottawa’s stress on reform as a response to Quebec, an argument devised by Quebec federalists in their struggle against Quebec separatists BOSSED BY (REBEC Then* is a sense that Ottawa has been preoccupied with Quebec at the expense of other regions.It may sound anti-Quebec, but it is not,” says Herbert Enns.photo-lithographer, Wa terl(X).Ont.“I believe Canada has catered long enough to the whims and fancies of Quebec They will never be satisfied.” Some say the exercise to keep Quebec is unnecessary : “They're not going to separate,” says grain farmer Peter Sagan.Trochu, Alta.“They're not going to get rid of the cow they’re milking, are they0” Others say.in effect, good riddance It Quet>ec wants to separate, let them separate.” says All>ert Manning, railway conductor.Kent ville.\ > “They've got their ways and we ve got ours ” And tor Quebecers like waitress Francine Chretien in Longueuil.the promise of con stitutional reform is unlikely to change anybody’s mind about Quebec in dependence Governments, federal or provincial, are “just politicians who turn up at election time ” When 45.000 voters in Waterloo Cambridge, Ont .were polled last summer lor their opinions on reform proposals “the future of our country may depend on the outcome** NDP Ml’ Max Salts man received so few replies that he isn’t even IxUhering to collate the score.LACK INTEREST “The constitution is really low down on people’s priorities.” Saltsman finds There’s a kind of tiredness with the whole Quebec thing ” And yet.people talk about problems that often boil down to constitutional issues, even if they are not labelled that way A confusion of federal and provincial fishery rules in Nova Scotia, a cross country traveller complaining that gasoline prices vary between73 cents and $1.21 a gallon, the shopper grumbling about provincial tax on lop of national tax all these have to do with the constitutional division of powers in the federal system Butcher Victor Woods in Regina, for example, is Ixithered by parades oi in spectors checking things in his shop on lx*half of federal, provincial and municipal governments He wonders why the three levels of government can’t sort things out to avoid overlaps and save time and money his and theirs Elmer McVey, Sudbury mineworker and labor leader, complains that labor laws in different provinces don’t match, so nickel workers may encounter different rules in Ontario and Manitoba In Saint John, N B .seaman Dave Lingley says it's time the country had a real Bill ol Rights like the Americans “because the cops here can lock you up for anything .” Such issues overlapping governments, regional differences, human rights are subjects in the current constitutional debate between Trudeau and the premiers They are matters that, urgently or not.at least some of the people some of the time say they want fixed.And some authorities say there is a chance that the campaign for constitutional reform may be a way to tidy up the federal system generally, despite the campaign’s bias towards the Quebec issue and the public's apparent coolness The federal intervention in the Quebec debate may prove, says Prof Arthur Tremblay, former Quebec public servant, “a sort of catalyst for the redefinition of the Canadian problem ” Setlakwe's Fabulous

About 54 million women throughout the world used oral contraceptives in lî#77— four million more than in 1974.says a report prepared by the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health A study carried out by the school shows that use of birth control pills increased significantly in developing countries.but declined in developed countries The findings of the study appear in the first issue of Population Reports produced at Hopkins and published this week The report shows that in 1977 , 25 million women pur chased oral contraceptives, including four million women in developing nations In addition, nine million women in developing nations and five million in developed areas received the pill free or on a subsidized basis through family planning programs Estimates include an additional 15 million probable users in China, the study shows The report says that the increasing popularity of sterilization is one reason use of the pill has decreased in developed countries Although the pill is still the choice of women under 30 in the U S., sterilization is being chosen more frequently by couples where the wives are between 30 and 44.the study shows Peptic ulcer may be hereditary Jason
