speculation Wednesday that RCMP anti terrorist officers may have prepared more than one lake communique which they at tnbuted to the Front de Liberation du Quebec tn December.1971 But the question remained muddled w hen IUMP Cpl Bernard Dubuc told the inquiry he could not remember clearly what was contained in an envelope that lie dropped off in a downtown Montreal telephone booth Dubuc did remember delivering two copies of a communique which the Mounties have already admitted they torged It was the third envelope, the contents of which he could not recall, which left the issue unclear The* inquiry headed by labor lawyer Jean Keable.lus tabled documents which indicate the mysterious envelope may have contained nothing more than a third copy of the same fake communique, issued in the name of the Minerve ^ ell of the FLQ The forgery was supervised by Chief Supt Donald Cobb, then head of the Mounties anti terrorist operation in Quebec The phoney communique, calling for a violent separatist revolution, was in tended to “sow confusion in terrorist ranks and to counter a move by former FLQ ideologue Pierre Vallieres.who had called on his colleagues to renounce violence and work peacefully for inde pendence through the Parti Québécois Confusion arose Wednesday when Dubuc said he could not remember clearly which FLQ cell had been named in tin* third message which Ik* dropped oft Tlu lame Minerve did not jog his memory Dubuc started by describing how he was assigned to leave two sealed en velopes in places where FLQ cells usually chose to deposit their com mu niques It was a trade mark of the terrorist group in the late 1960s and 1970s to drop off the messages, then call news^vipers or radio stations to pick them up He said the third envelope came to his mind at about the same time former federal solicitor general Francis Fox admitted last year the RCMP had prepared the Minerve” fake Fox said bogus note?at the time, and Cobb and other Mounties have maintained since, that this was the only FLQ forgery the force ever earned out Dubuc said he could only remember dropping off the third envelope, ad dressed to the Montreal weekly newspaper QuebeePresse.but could not remember further details \fter examining RCMP files con taming all the FLQ communiques from Hie 1971 period.Dubuc said ho deduced that the mystery envelope must have contained a third copy of the “Minerve” communique Lawyers for the inquiry indicated they would question Dubuc further today, apparently in an effort to clarify the situation .11 \\ M \HI F questions remain muddled THE

arrangement whereby annual profits will be split three ways between company employees, share holders and reinvestment in the East Angus mill The office and supervisory staff agreed to a three year contract with the company last October which involves annual pay increases of four per cent plus a share of pro fits and a $600 bonus A spokesman for the latter group said today that they feel the introduction of profit shar ing is especially important in East Angus because Domtar stipulated after the oix-week strike of 1977 that they would only keep the mill open if there was a positive an nual cash flow.Since profit sharing enables the company to keep its fixed costs somewhat lower, such a system provides one way of trying to maintain a positive cash flow without at the same time, jeopardizing the income of employees The office and supervisory staff have set up a voluntary deferred profit-sharing plan whereby the $600 bonus and the annual share of earned profits can lx* placed in a fund and be invested in order to generate capital which might be needed to keep the mill open should Domtar de cide to pull out of East Angus Further elements of the new contract signed with the CNTU involve the increase of vacations to four weeks af ter 12 years of service and to five weeks after 22 years, and an increase in shift premiums The four to midnight shift will have a premium of 18 cents for the first two years of the contract and a premium of 20 cents for the third The midnight to 8 a m shift will carry a surplus of 23 cents the first year, and 25 cents during the final two years.Accused boat thief cleared SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) Andre Hayer, 23, of Montreal, was acquitted of a charge of theft of a canoe in Noyan on July 21, 1977 Defence lawyer Fernand Pelletier agreed to the admission of testimony produced at the preliminary hearing when Crown at torney Claude N oiseux produced his final witness Claude Michaud swore he and Hayeur had planned the robbery in Hayeur s home in Ville Emard the evening prior to the event and they were alone when they went to Noyan and stole the boat valued in excess of $200 Hayeur.who had served notice of an alibi defence, said he had spent his two week vacation which coin tided with the time of the crime with his family at their summer home near Rigaud He also said there were bad feelings between he and Michaud and Michaud had said “I’ll fix you " His testimony concerning the summer vacation was corroborated by his 18 year old brother Yves Mr Pelletier pointed out conflicting testimony produced during the hearing when one witness said there were two persons in an automobile with a canoe on its roof, while another had said there might have been three Judge Bernard Legare said “There is an element of doubt on the part of the impartial witnesses con cerning the number of persons seen near the scene of the crime.There was animosity on the part of Michaud and I could not convict you on the testimony of an accomplice.You are given the benefit of the doubt and are acquitted ’’ I want more information on the first charge," Judge Bernard Legare said in the case of Joseph Clifford.Clifford, of Waterloo, earlier pleaded guilty to counts of assaulting a peace officer in the performance of his duties and wilful property damage My client was frustrated and tried to hit a police officer, defence lawyer Michel Brun said

Knapp, chairman of the LRSB.said the sense ol extreme urgency which has characterized the preparation of the new French curriculum is due to a conviction tliat the continued existence of the LRSB as a •school system serving the English population of the area is at stake Bill lot has led many parents to enroll or to consider enrolling their children in the French system during the last two years, because they have been afraid that without making such a change their children would 1h‘ insufficiently prepared to work in the province Mrs Knapp feels that the LRSB.as one of the few remaining distinctively English institutions in the area it serves has the responsibility ol responding in a confident and in novativeway to the pressures that could easily isolate the English community The new French program consists ot two separate proposals w Inch were submitted and accepted together as interlocking parts ol a single project The first involves the doubling ol the time children spent in kindergarten Iron» 12 and a lui It to 25 hours a week, the additional in struct ion Ix'ing given in French At present no French is taught at the kindergarten level Elsewhere in the province's English school systems, kindergarten classes will continue to consist ot five half days a week Teachers will alternate the two languages from morning to afternoon each week in order not to overemphasize one or the other, the morning being the most impressionable part ol the day for instruction The second proposal involves the doubling of tin* time ot in struct ion in grades One through Six from 30 minutes to one hour .i day.five days a week At the same time t fuit the amount of instruction will lu* substantially increased, the real substance of the LRSB’s proposal lies m a completely new curriculum, prepared largely through the effort of French Consultant Alice Boulos.which will attempt to bring continuity into the methods and themes of instruction during the first seven years ol school During the last 15 years very little work has been done to reconsider and strengthen the ways in which French is taught in the Eastern Townships Students have tended to receive a spotty education in French as they were forced to readapt annually to a different teacher’s style and methods The curriculum Mrs Boulos has developed is a modified version ol a system used in the Ottawa area for the last nine years which has already had the benefit of evaluation and modif ication in its own context She describes it as an integrated program which concentrates on and develops certain themes from kindergarten through Grade Six.thereby providing a continuity throughout a child’s elementary education The curriculum includes history and geography and teachers will aim to interest students m developing on awareness of their own experience, setting then involvement «is a goal, and making the mastery ol French a relatively incidental part of the process from the students’ point of view Such an ap proacli will hopefully emphasize the fact Huit the use of French is «in element of the fabric of daily life, not simply .1 subject studied at school \uger explained that m making its choice, the board had not seriously considered one of the many "French immersion programs in use in the province as an altenuitive They felt there was no need to make the LRSB into a pseudo French school system, for if parents want tfieii children to receive a thoroughly French education they will send them to «i French school anyway Auger «ilso pointed out that an immersion program works on the basis of choice and is only effective when enough parents decide to send their children into it However, there are too lew students in the LRSB to make such a system work effectively, and it would require more teachers than the Ixuird could afford to pay Mrs llawkctts, chairman of the Parents Committee for 1978 79, says parent response at the introductory meetings luis 1m*cii quite favourable Parents concerned about what subjects would have to lx* given up in order to make room for an extra half hour ot French a day, are told nothing would be lost because the new schedule would allow other teachers to spend more time working on an individual level with students At present tlie LRSB has a surplus from its most recent budget which will cover the cost of hiring tin* new French teachers However it had received support from parents in the past lor the idea that extra taxes might have to be levied m order to pay for the new program A team from the McGill University Faculty of Education will follow the program closely for a year in order to evaluate its results, and they will begin meeting with the LRSB next week in order to prepare for the project.The board will begin retraining its current French teachers for the new curriculum in May with a project that will continue through the summer A general information meeting open to the public will be held in Lennoxville on March 8 k£Ul

Right Honourable John Diefenbaker I was only eight years old when he was last Prime Minister and stepping into his outer office was like going back into history Located just across from Joe Clark s office in the center block of the House of Commons, one can only wonder what the two chiefs say to each other when they meet in the men’s washroom Being introduced to Mr Diefenbaker is an unnerv ing experience In spite of Ins two hearing aids, he is a little hard of hearing and I had to spell out my family name.Once seated I started studying his facial features The eyes, the jowls, the nose and the hair; I thought no wonder he is a cartoonist s dream I soon realized that a discussion with Mr Diefenbaker is a one-way affair: he talks, you listen During the hour I spent w ith him, he indicated when I was to quote him and w hen I was not to I did what I was told He began by talking about his memoirs, which up to now have been published in three volumes A fourth volume is now being completed and w ill lx* published soon after the federal elections.He promises that it will contain some interesting revelations The recent Pepin Kobarts reports he finds are “eloquently worded but they will soon find their way to dusty shelves” He added that he didn’t expect to live long enough to see any of their recommendations put into action At one point Mr.Diefenbaker got excited He wagged his finger at me and said “there were no divisions in the country when I was Prime Minister I had the support of Quebec even though speaking French was not my best performance” I bit the inside of rn> cheek so as not to laugh I asked if Mr Duplessis had had much to do w ith his success in Quebec He replied “1 rarely spoke with Duplessis In 1963 he called me up and said this is Maurice speaking, I have to go up north but I want to see you when 1 come back He died up there and I never found out what he wanted to talk to me about” To my mind, the fact that Duplessis died in 1959 puts the rest of his recollection in questionable light Mr Diefenbaker had few kind words for Prime Minister Trudeau “If Trudeau gets re-elected you won’t be living in Canada by the time you reach my age ” He remembered that Mr Trudeau as a young man was fond of ( astro and his communist policies He said I once told him that if falsehood was truth you'd be the greatest saint in history ” His anecdotes would fascinate even the staunchest of Liberals He recalled that at the age of sixteen he was a newspaper boy and one time Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier came to town for an official function.It was very early in the morning and Dief was the only one on the train platform to see Laurier get off He approached him and they had a half hour talk about Canada Later that day Laurier, in a speech, referred to a discussion he’d had w ith a newspaper boy I've met all the greats in the world m my time I was the first leader of any nation to lx* received by the newly elected Pope John I asked him how does it feel to be Pope he replied here I am near the end of the road at the top of the heap ”.Concerning youth, Mr Diefenbaker believes they are much better equipped today “I get more letters from youth than all the MPs put together They see me as one vision of the country.” Pounding the desk, he added “I’ve always believed in one Canada and one nation and I’ve never changed ’’ Asked if he had any advice for youth, he said the best one could do was learn the history of the country and have a clear direction in life “In my time the only protection a Progressive Conservative had in Saskatchewan was under the game laws I faced five defeats before getting to where I wanted.Defeat didn't mean anything to me; I knew where I was going ” Surrounded by bronze busts and pictures of Mr Diefenbaker and the greats” I concluded with the obvious question How much longer did he plan to stay on as an MF° I love the House of Commons I was injured in the war once and given tour months to live The doctors who said that are now dead” I didn't have the heart to ask which war, the Boer War ’ World War 1° If I had been old enough to vote back in 1963 I don't know if I would have supported Mr Diefenbaker That doesn’t matter today The man deserves respect for his significant contribution to Canadian history In leaving his Tory blue office, with a flushed face and an autographed copy of the Canadian Bill of Rights.I was charged w ith the excitement of having met a living legend Plan ahead Letters A need for exchange Union confederation top brass doesn’t like profit-sharing plans because they reduce their own influence over the local while strengthening the local’s ties with plant management Industry doesn’t like to talk about profit-sharing at a particular plant until their accountants say drastic measures are needed to reverse a downward trend.In the case of the pact between Domtar and its workers, the profit-sharing plan agreed to is cautious, to say the least.But it’s a step, and that’s what was taken when the people of Temiskaming got it together to buy the 60-year-old Kipawa pulp mill from Canadian International Paper after CIP opted to shut it down.The result was an upheaval in the social fabric of this one-industry town which saw the younger ones flee and the older workers saddled with the bleak choice of buying their houses from the company and staying in a ghost town or pulling up roots at a difficult Urne in their lives Spurred on by the union and a small but highly visionary group of local leaders, mill-workers and several disgruntled International Paper executives bought the mill and pulp-wood stocks for several millions, backed by Quebec and federal loans.The result?Kipawa came on stream just about the time the world underwent a critical newsprint shortage.Pulp prices skyrocketed, the plant thundered into full production and the rest is history.Mind you, Tembec, as the new company was called, still has to mind its market.Newsprint and pulp prices are still high, but the emphasis is on a better-finished products.There’s a lesson here for any community dependent on one industry for its livelihood When times are good, industry, labor and the community all have to plan for market downturns.JAMES DUFF Backtalk More backtalk.this directed at that certain CEGEP prof who figures The Record’s editorial policy stinks: Rumors abound in this world.They have a habit of making the rounds, maybe because it’s so much fun to spread them.As an alleged teacher of the English language, we would hope you would know what happens to anything which is transcribed into print from the realm of the spoken word.It’s like the butterfly on the mounting board, there for perusal but lifeless, harmless and not much use to anybody.The teaching of the English language in this society — with a few exceptions — is a hopeless cause.College grads can’t spell.Doctoral candidates can’t defend their theses orally.Can we blame newspapers for that?No more than teachers.We regret having to call you about those rumors you were Mr.X, the sixth man in the FLQ cell which kidnapped Cross.We were given a bum lead.But we’d call you again — always politely — to get your comment on those rumors.You proceeded to tell us — in French — that we were irresponsible, ignorant, the purveyors of slander and filth and right-wing views.That’s your opinion.You're entitled to it.We kept our mouth shut, our pen silent, but you simply had to get your little dig in somewhere.and here’s our answer.If you want to keep this up.we’ll be watching you like a hawk.You’ll have a tough time keeping your face off front page when your peers make their annual greedy pilgrimage to the picket lines.Go on.Take us up We re spoiling for a fight.JAMES DUFF Editor : I am forwarding to you a copy of a letter sent by me to the writer of a Record commentary last week Ms Judith K Reward, R R 3 Magog, P Q J1X 3W4 Dear Ms.Reward, This letter is being w ritten in respoase to your com mentary.AGRHS DAY Too much listening, not enough talk, which appeared in the February 15th issue of the Sherbrooke Record.There area number of points that I.as organizer of the day, w ish A LIBERAL LEADERSHIP CONVENTION WHADDA YA SEE?DtflRTT) L * Ey KJ Washington Merry-Go-Round to clarify I respect your desire to communicate and share w ith other women There is a need for an exchange of ideas and experiences; for c(x)peration and collective action on issues of concern to local women I am aware of that But, the “Taking Care of Ourselves” day was not designed to respond to that need.February 10th was planned to draw attention to the fact that we, as women, do not take care of ourselves.It was an attempt to stimulate us.as women, to lx» more concerned about our own physical and emotional health.I strongly disagree with your interpretation of what emerged from the day.Yes, I do remember a woman commenting that if we take better care of ourselves, then w e will be better able to take care of our husbands and families But, that definitely was not the message of the day.Throughout the day, women in the audience stood up and said that we, as women, are individuals, that our individuality is important and essential; that we have a right, and a duty, to pay attention to ourselves, that we can and should be “selfish” once in a while You lament the fact that there was no mention of women as agents of social and educational changes May I point out that “Taking Care of Ourselves” was not organized by a women's movement' As community animator for Adult Education Services of the E T Regional School Board, my function is not to change, lead or guide My responsibility lies in responding to community needs and interests, responding to people where they are at.It entails openness and respect, not criticism or radicalism The day at Galt obviously did not live up to your expectations That.I regret I would suggest that we get together to exchange ideas and viewpoints.Perhaps other activities, such as the current series of Monday information-discussion evenings held in Lennoxville.would better correspond to your needs and interests In closing, although there are a few things I would change another time, I am more than pleased with the day.The turnout from various communities, the participation of the audience, and the quality of the presentations were, in my opinion, excellent I sincerely hope that we will meet in the near future SUSAN M \STI\E.Community animator.K.T.R.S.K Februarv 20.1979 Editor Dog tax support Though I am not personally involved.I certainly can sympathize with the lady from Hatley who wrote concerning a $15 dog tax I just wonder what kind of namby-pamby jerk would go around nabbing dogs and getting $15 per head Bounty hunter! I live in Sherbrooke and must keep my dog tied but I have never liked the idea Occasionally I let him have a free run and sometimes strange dogs come by here but no harm done Roberts Editor : There seems to be some confusion about statements that 1 made in Sherbrooke last Sunday concerning the proposed decentralization of the mapping branch of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Resources The project has not been cancelled indefinitely as an article in the February 12, 1979, edition of your pa per suggests It is currently being examined by both the governments of Canada and Quebec, and a final decision sometimes my flowers get watered on or nibbled on no big deal.I certainly hope Hat ley i tes will pay heed to what this woman is saying and stop this from happening to them Gad.if I lived in the country.I would expect my dog to go loose.And as Johnny Carson might say “May a crazed Doberman mistake this dog-catcher’s legs for a rack of lamb'” FA.Sherbrooke clarifies has not yet been made The major stumbling block is the attitude of the government of Quebec, which will not allow Canadians who move to Quebec to have their children educated in the language of their choice The federal government, however, remains committed to the decentralization of its programs and services and I am confident this objective will soon be met.JOHN ROBERTS, Secretar\ of State by Jack Anderson and Les Whitten Not a happy ending for good guys WASHINGTON It is a sad truism in Washington that federal officials tend to become the handmaidens of the very people they're supposed to be keeping honest The regulators wind up in bed with the regulated It is also true, fortunately, that there is usually someone in the agency who doesn’t get the message, who believes that the public interest demands that the g ment crack down on the had guys, no matter whose toes are stepped on This is the story of two such dedicated public servants, and because it’s not a fairy tale, there is no happy ending Michael Moroney is an investigator in the Labor Department, and a very good one He and his partner, Stephen Smith, were assigned to the interagency Organized Crime Strike Force in Brooklyn.N Y Their investigations have resulted in 17 convictions of labor union racketeers - one of the best records in the department Most recently they conducted a 10 month in vestigation of paperworkers union boss Joseph V Tonelli One of the first union leaders to support Jimmy Carter for president.Tonelli allegedly tried to fix his ease by retaining a couple of Atlanta lawyers with White House and Justice Department connections A prominent Dibor Department consultant arranged for the lawyers to be retained by Tonelli As we reported yesterday, the lawyers struck out.all Tonelli got for their efforts was a five-month delay in his indictment w hile the case was given a careful review at the Justice Department He ultimately pleaded guilty to embezzlement and obstruction of justice Although Moroney and Smith eventually triumphed in that case, Moroney had meanwhile become concerned at what he viewed as an ominous weakening of the Labor Department’s resolve to dig into union racketeering He took the gutsy and unusual step of w riting a letter to President Carter, and he minced no words Moroney s chief target was then Assistant Uibor Secretary Francis X Burkhardt Since Burkhardt s appointment.Moroney bluntly told the president, “there were substantive indications that he was intent on destroying, disassembling and demoralizing the bona fide anticorruption and racketeering efforts to which many of us are dedicated Burkhardt was urging the “reprogram ming” of the department's investigative team, Moroney wrote, and 125 racketeering investigators were to he reassigned to “mundane non criminal enforcement areas Experienced investigators were being removed from the strike force and either replaced with inexperienced people or not replaced at all While he was at it.Moroney also accused Dibor Secretary Ray Marshall of “men dacity” in tes*mony before the Senate Marshall, said Moroney.was paying lip service to anti racketeering activities while simultaneously drafting a department budget “which will effectively destroy the role of the Labor Department in the anti-racketeering area ” Moroney also expressed dismay that the labor secretary, though told of Tonelli’s probable indictment, permitted himself to lx* photographed at an AFL-CIO convention standing arm-in-arm w ith the paperworkers union president Noting Carter’s expressed intent to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system.Moroney pleaded for the president’s intercession lie then, somew hat undiplomatically, offered this moral lecture to the chief executive; “Jimmy Carter can Ik* remembered as the president who fought organized crime, big shot crooks’ and racketeers or his administration can be cynically recalled in terms of the Lance Affair' and the Marston Affair’ and its failure to restore confidence in the criminal justice system ” Having thus antagonized his bosses in both the Labor Department and the White House.Moroney could hardly have been surprised at what happened next Not long after the Tonelli case was completed, the Labor Department was reorganized and an Office of Special Investigations was created under Rocco DeMarco To remain with the interagency strike force.Moroney and Smith would have to be assigned to DeMarco s office Yet, despite their excellent record and the backing of strike force chief Thomas Puccio and U S.Attoroney Robert Fiske.neither Moroney nor Smith were selected by DeMarco for the new investigative unit DeMarco told us the reason he didn't put the two investigators on his team was that he had more qualified candidates But one DeMarco aide acknowledged that Moroney’s letter to Carter played a part in the decision.Another DeMarco aide characterized the two dedicated investigators derisively as “obstreperous little people So instead of continuing their pursuit of the bad guys.Moroney and Smith are now assigned to “mundane non-criminal en forcement areas ” Meanwhile, the fact that Moroney and Smith were, in effect, kicked off the strike force after successfully developing the Tonelli case has aroused suspicion among law enforcement sources that the two in vestigators were “too aggressive’ These sources believe that the Department of Labor is uncomfortable with relentless investigations of high ranking union leaders Footnote: An important part of Jimmy Carter’s civil service reform is the protection and encouragement of “ob streperous little people” who blow the whistle on the higher ups The I^hor Department evidently hasn’t gotten the word / » OO 1111 SlIFKHKOOkl Kmtllll nil RS

south of Sherbrooke and 1 had a two-mile walk to the McLeod school house The school was heated in winter by a wood burning box stove located in the centre of the room If you sat too close to it you were too warm and if you sat at the side of the room you were cold In one corner there was a pail of drinking water with a long handled dipper No doubt this was not exactly sanitary , but that was the way it was I had to take a lunch as it was too far to go home We used slates about ten by 15 inches in size They were framed in wood like a wall picture Scribblers were not known at that time I well remember the first day ever at school when I arrived without a slate pencil, so the girl at the next desk W innie Redmond, gave me one From then on she was my girl On the farm lots of thought and work went into preparing and storing food Each fall a pig and a steer were slaughtered and the meat cut up into steaks, chops and roasts The meat was placed in a large wooden box and packed with straw except the hams, which were cured and smoked These could be kept in a cool spot for six months or more The smoker was a small wood cubicle and the smoke was made by burning sawdust and corncobs In season we gathered wild fruit such as raspberries, strawberries and blue berries, which were made into jam If you have never tasted wild strawberry shortcake topped with whipped cream, you have missed a rare treat Apples were peeled, cored and quar tered.then strung on a cord about three feet in length These were then strung from the ceiling behind the wood-burning kitchen stove When de hydrated they were stored in a cotton bag for making pies Of course, before using they had to be soaked overnight in water Potatoes, carrots, parsnips and tur nips were stored in the cellar for win ter use Another food item was baking beans When the plants were mature they were removed from the ground and stacked in the field until completely dr> They were then moved into the haybarn floor, spread out and then flailed to shell the beans A flail was made of two pices of inch and a half wood, fastened end to end by a leather thong Holding one pole, the other was swung over your head and brought down on the bean plants with some force The stocks were then removed and the beans put through a fanning mill to remove the dirt and dust You ended up with about a bushel of beans During the winter, logs and poles were gathered and cut up into stove wood The power for operating the saw was pvwvidsd by two horses on a mill In the early fall, a threshing crew would come along and thrash the exits for horse feed We had a turnip pul per for shredding turnips for the cows Once a day each animal received a shovel of pulp, along with a quart of bran meal In the garden we had a lot of currant bushes including red.yellow and black fruit These were made into jam There were also cranberries avail able We grew lots of pumpkins for pies Again whipped cream was used as a topping lxits of calories, hut no one gave that a thought Saturday night was bath night In the summer we went to a nearby creek and in the winter a wooden tub was brought into the kitchen Lighting for the house came from oil lamps

“Vive le Quebec libre*’ in Montreal was worth $1 million in free publicity for Quebec, what was French Premier Raymond Barres recent tour worth?One former top-level government official replied: “1 don’t think there were any winners in this visit.There were too many hang ups about petty details." Said a veteran political reporter: “The only one who came out on top is Barre Pundits and commentators generally deplored what they saw as attempts by Prime Minister Trudeau and Levesque to push their level-headed guest into tilting on the national-unity issue Both Canadian leaders, it seems, were still reeling to the echo of that cry of de Gaulle's.Trudeau was trying to get Barre not to repeat it.one Ottawa observer said.In Quebec.Levesque appeared to be trying to get him to say it.The moment of truth was Tuesday’s “balcony scene." Arriving on a balcony inside Montreal's Place Desjardins shopping centre.Levesque reminded Barre of De Gaulle's 1967 cry from the balcony of Montreal City Hall and asked the French Premier if that didn't give him ideas about what to say to the crowd below.Barre, more an economist and professor than a politicain.seemed taken aback “Vive les Français du Quebec" (Lung live the French in Quebec», he managed Where De Gaulle's cry was high drama.Barre s was practically meaningless, mainly because no Quebecer refers to himself as a “Français du Quebec." What Trudeau and Levesque and their respective governments seemed to have missed were the signals from Barre and France that the medium was supposed to be the message Or as Marcel Pepin, editorial page editor of the Quebec City newspaper Le Soleil, said it: “It is more by his very presence than by his words that Raymond Barre w ill be seen to have contributed to the tightening of the bonds between francophones here and their European cousins’’ Barre maintained a strict silence on internal Canadian affairs but no one would listen, so to speak 4 More than ever.France has need of her friends around the world.” he said at the very outset After signalling repeatedly that he meant business in wanting to talk trade.Barre told a closing news conference in Montreal “Our relations, besides being friendly, must also be practical Marcel Adam commented in an editorial in Montreal's La Presse “Individuals and perhaps peoples too have feelings of friendship ‘hat stand up more or less well to the tests of time and distance.but governments have only interests, as De Gaulle so rightly expressed it " More so than the Canadian and Quebec leaders.Barre was the image of statesmanly rectitude from beginning to end.HAS MORE EXPERIENCE “It must be remembered." said one ob server, “that the Quai d’Orsay (France’s foreign affairs department » has centuries of experience in diplomacy But comparison, Quebec has very little, and so does Ottawa for that matter ." Just by sending its representative to Ottawa and Quebec and Montreal, France was expressing its desire to work with both Canada and Quebec But it is an accepted feature of Canadian political life that in the area of culture, free and direct links must exist between France and Quebec Lester Pearson saw that in 1964 when he approved of the elevation of Quebec’s delegation in Paris to the status of a virtual embassy Ottawa’s instance on demonstrating that it has the upper hand and “contains" Quebec is view ed by many Quebecers as an irritant and a refusal to recognize the obvious “special ties between France and Quebec Then again, Quebec’s insistence on making a flag-waving show of these “special ties" suggests to many observers that it too has failed to recognize the ob vious It was decided during Levesque’s visit to Paris in November, 1977, to “in stitut îonalize" yearly meetings of the French and Quebec premiers Barres pragmatic message seems to have been that ( Mtawa and Quebec will have to stop treating every France Quebec encounter as a first kiss After all, they’re family and the first reunion, after a long estrangement, took place long ago.The Sale you’ve been waiting for: FEBRUARY INVENTORY SALE A ALPINE SKIING ATOMIC SKIS Compact L ARC SKIS Slalom (green) !95.s95.* 1 DYNAMIC SKIS VR17 Jet K-2 SKIS Competition sizes limited K2 SKIS Holiday sizes $AQ limited ¦ W ¦ S ExpoM°dei $79 CRYSTAL MODEL m «/» i POLO BOOTS SAN GIORGIO ATOMIC SKIS $ 99.LEATHER $0 BOOTS ZERVAT mt 495 NORVIC POLESSI E95 FIBREGLASS | BINDINGS $795 NORVIC METAL I Total $ ^ $f " BM ^85 15 C c ¦cJ WOODEN SKIS JOFA Styles A Sizes Limited PLASTIC BINDINGS NORVIC BAMBOO POLES SCANDIA SHOES LEATHER SPECIAL 95 otOUCTtONSON SftoSw* BM IMPORT 26 King West—Sherbrooke.Quebec.569-1816 29M5.Trudeau would hit problems Records ease heritage search MONTREAL (CP) If Rene Levesque wanted to look up his family tree, he would have a relatively easy time of it But Pierre Trudeau would soon run into problems The reason?While Trudeau, on his mother's side, is descended from English-speaking Protest ants, all Levesque's an- cestors were French speaking Roman Catholics and French Roman Catholics are a privileged group when it comes to looking up their ancestry Since the French first set up colonies in North America more than 350 years ago, Roman Catholic parish priests have kept extensive records of all baptisms, deaths and marriages The records are much more complete than those kept in most English speaking or Protestant communities, and they are generally well preserved “There are regions in Europe where the documents are well preserved, but what's unique here is that they deal with a whole people for a long period of time,” says University ol Montreal de in og ra p he r Hu be r I t lurboniie.m CharUmneau said it had been the custom in Fiance lor priests to keep accurate records, and the eustom was simply transplanted to tin* New World The eustom was made law by .1 government ordinance in 1678, and although some diH'uments were lost through tires or tloods, no revolutions ever wiped them out Fernand Ouellet, history professor .it tlu* University ot Ottawa and a specialist in thesocio economic history of Queliec.says the records yield all kinds of details on the lives of ordinary people AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION ¦ ¦¦ ***** •••> y .y: v.service - c, : EASY, EFFICIENT.QUICK.GET YOUR 1979 LICENSE PLATE AT A CAISSE POPULAIRE!

The only thing we argue (or fight) about is this boy He is rude.mean, mouthy, and spoiled rotten.Paul spends every weekend with us When Monday comes my nerves are shot My doctor has me on tranquilizers I’ve never heard a child ask for so much He’s a greedy little pig.jumps on the furniture, eats everything in sight (between meals) and defies me to punish him When I try he laughs in my face.Hal admits Paul is in corrigible but says his mother ruined him and I must accept him as he is Our friends don’t want to be around the boy They refuse to bring their children when he’s here I’ve suggested Hal see his son alone take him places so I won’t be involved but he says, “No We should bo a family.” There is no way I can be a family with that animal 1 love my husband and I'm afraid of what is happening to our marriage Help me, please — The Miseries Dear M.: If Hal has to choose between you or the boy, you’ll probably lose So get busy and learn how to “accept the unacceptable ” The

certain store because they caught her shoplifting Bev wasn’t arrested but was told to stay (Hit I w as shocked but she said she had never stolen anything in her life She just wanted to see if she could get away with it She swore she had learned her lesson Last week we went to visit my brother in the hospital The next morning he called to ask if I had taken his vmstwatch lor “safe keeping’.It seems he missed his Kolex after Bev and I left I know how things get stolen in hospitals so I never thought any more about it I-ast night when I got home from a date with Bev my wallet was missing l don’t care about the $35 or $40 It’s my credit cards and driver’s license I’m worried about l could fall in love w ith Bev if I let myself go.So far we’ve only ex changed kisses.I hate to think what I’m thinking.Any advice' K.D.Dear K.D.: If you’ve been exchanging kisses w ith Bev I suggest you count your teeth Bev is either a kleptomaniac or a thief probably the latter, since kleptos usually take items they have no use for 1 have no advice for you.Bub.Figure it out for yourself There is a big difference between cold and cool Ann Landers shows you how to play it cool without freezing

Queen.Psychiatrist’s predictions gloomy MONTREAL (CP) A Nova Scotia psychiatrist has found that his predictions about the future well-being of his patients were sometimes too gloomy Dr.Robert Jones of Dalhousie University has tracked down 100 patients he treated between 1941 and 1951 and found that about 10 per cent were doing better than he expected.Based on information culled from the patients, their families, hospital records and other sources, Jones found that 78 per cent of his former patients had improved since his first diagnosis Most of the group had been diagnosed about 35 years ago as psychotic, w hile others suffered from a variety of emotional disorders About a third of the group was found to be in excellent shape, experiencing few further psychiatric problems and performing well in life Seven had deteriorated or died for reasons related to their psychiatric illness while 14 of the 100 had remained unchanged.The rest of Jones' former patients were coping well, in spite of lingering symptoms or remissions from time to time.Jones presented his findings to a recent meeting here of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada “The results indicate there should be a good deal more optimism about patients suffering from emotional illness than commonlv exists.” he concluded / POLLY S POINTERS N Polly Cramer Freeze those candles By Polly Cramer POLLY'S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY — My cream-colored cotton blend sweater has red oil paint on it.I am afraid to try anything on it until I feel sure it will work An easy way to remove a used candle from the glass is to put it in your freezer upside down.Tapping against the palm of your hand should remove it without any messy digging.- MRS.S.S DEAR MRS.S.S.— Thank you for your Pointer — I had several votive lights leftover from the holidays that needed to be cleaned because the candles had burned so low.Your suggestion worked like a charm.The wax all fell out in one clean lump.I left mine in the freezer overnight.I hope the following will work as well for you and those oil paint spots.Apply turpentine to spots to soften, rinse and then rub with bar soap, rinse and launder as usual.— POLLY DEAR POLLY — Thank you for the newspaper clipper and it could not have come at a better time I was letting the hems down on some drapes and had misplaced the gadget I usually use for ripping and there on the table was the clipper.I figured that if it could cut paper why not thread and found it did a better job than the gadget made for such use.When making potato salad 1 boil the eggs in the same water as the potatoes but take them out when they are cooked.I not only save gas but another pot.ROSALIND DEAR POLLY — To keep refrigerated vegetables fresh and crisp for a prolonged period of time I use small brown paper bags rather than the usual cellophane or foil w raps I have had things stay fresh for as long as a month because the brown paper absorbs any moisture while the other wraps do not.— HOWARD DEAR POLLY — After years of fighting to make neat cut-out cookies I found that if one dips the turner in the flour being used for the cookie cutter the cut-out cookie will slide right off the turner onto the baking sheet with no wrinkling or tearing.— LINDA B.Polly will send you one of her signed thank-you newspaper-coupon clippers if she uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or Problem in her column

Awright! Gaiters nip Con U 71 -70 in thriller By GL S HAIG MONTREAL — Trevor Bennett had the blues yesterday afternoon It seems the lanky 6’ 5” had been neglected and missed out on the QUAA all-star basketball team To complicate matters.Bennett s arch-rival Leon Bynoe of the Concordia Stingers was selected ahead of him Bennett was obviously a man with a mission last evening as he put on a stirring exhibition of basketball ability, pounng in 29 points and totally smothering the 6’ 8” Bynoe at the other end of the floor The result was a nail-biter as the Gaiters prevailed 71-70 in what has to rate as one of the finest games of roundball Montreal has ever witnessed All-Quebec hell.Bennetts performance was all-Canadian all the way eah.I was down when the all-star team was announced and I didn’t make it,” Trevor explained I’m just glad justice was done We re getting together now.and just proved who the better team is Bennett had reason to crow He dove for loose balls, played up in the lights all night, and single-handedly kept the Gaiters in the game in the first half.The win for the Gaiters means they will now face McGill in a best-of-three Qt’AA final, beginning Friday night at McGill Superlatives aside, the game started as expected, with neither side opening up a substantial lead Bennett tallied 21 by the half The Stingers nearly matched Trevor’s heroics, notching 17 in his

Palais Game time is 8 pm Terry Scott ON SPORTS Alright, folks, shed that winter coat, store away the galoshes, and shout words of praise to the heavens.spring has finally arrived No, it s not because the air has suddenly turned balmy after a three-week state of siege, but rather because the Expos are filing into training camp this week and when that happens, can the crocuses be far behind0 There’s only one thing that troubles me, though.Just as most of us are conned into believing the latest Chinook destroys the last remnants of winter, so too does spring training delude us into believing there’s a diamond under every base Oh, the phenoms that bloom in the spring, tra-la.Just to ensure I don’t get carried away by the superlatives spouted by the Expos over some hot-shot at this year’s camp who'll suddenly transform them into bona fide pennant contenders, I spent yesterday afternoon poring over my scrapbooks.The first one I came across was for 1969 and half way down the page was a comment from then-Pittsburgh Pirates’ manager Larry Shepherd.“In the field, Don Bosch can be favorably compared with none other than Willie Mays.” When Bosch pounded the ball all over the ballpark during the Expos’ first spring training session, the club did everything but measure him for a bust at Cooperstown.So what did Bosch do once the games began in earnest?He played centrefield as adequately as any man on the roster but Shepherd must have forgot that Don also had to bat.He appeared in 49 games, managed a meagre .179, injured a knee and faded into never-never land.How about Don Hahn, who they couldn’t get out with a Gatling gun in that spring of ’69?So overwhelmed was manager Gene Mauch that he announced the unheralded rookie was his regular centrefielder.And he was, too, until three days into the season when, with one hit in nine trips to the plate, he was banished to the bench and eventually shipped via night freight all the way to Vancouver.Remember sleepy Joe Gilbert, the lanky lefthander, who set the Expos' tongues wagging with four shutout innings at camp in 1972?You'd have thought that when he turned out a mediocre 1-2; 4.97, performance in 21 regular-season appearances, the Expos’ crowing would have desisted but his razor-sharpness at the following year’s spring session caused them to gush all the louder.You could look it up, as Casey Stengel used to say, but to spare you the agony, Gilbert finished his career with the Expos with a 1-3 record My favorite, though, is the tale of Jorge Roque, who came out of nowhere in the spring of 73 to bat a robust 292, which, combined with his flawless fielding, prompted manager Gene Mauch to remark that the Expos were about to get the best centre-fielding in their history In the first weekend of the season, Jorge the Great botched four fundamental plays that cost the Expos ball-games, prompting Mauch to mutter; “People with Jorge’s kind of talent who are trying as hard as he is trying can’t get anything but better.” Someone obviously forgot to inform Roque of his manager’s confidence - after 25 games and a paltry 148 batting average, Jorge was relegated to the Expos’ den of shattered dreams.If you want a more recent example, how about the arrival’ of Gerald Hannahs at the 1977 training camp?Based on his 2.35 eamed-run average in 23 innings of spring work, the Expos boasted that they had at last discovered the southpaw starter which had eluded them for so many years And Gerald actually began to make the brass look prophetic, taming the powerful Phillies 3-2 in his first start That one was really a victory to savor because he hasn’t won a major league game since and he’s still trying to pick up the pieces with the Dodgers No account of the Expos' spring sensations would be complete without recalling the adventures of Bill Blohm.a 20-year-old who demanded a tryout at their 1969 camp because he insisted the scouts had overlooked him.Finally, general-manager Jim Fanning relented and after missing pitching coach Cal McLish’s soft curves five times in a row, he managed a weak pop-up, followed by several more swishes He immediately grabbed his glove to tout his stuff at third basç and proceeded to rip the seam of his pants and boot five ground balls in succession When Fanning called a merciful halt to the tryout, the kid was indignant, and the Expos’ brass understandably wondered why “There was too much pressure,” responded the youngster.without changing the expression on his face Oh, the phenoms that bloom in the spring, tra-la

native responded with a performance that under the pressure packed circumstances rates as big as Bennett's The half time score stood at 46 43 for Con U.Early in the second half, the Stingers upped the lead to seven points, but one play seemed to turn the complexion of the game around The flashy Keith Coffin w hipped a beautiful cross-court pass to the streaking Bynoe who floated in for an apparent stuff shot, when out of nowhere came Bennett, who crammed a Wilson sandw ich right back at the startled Stinger In basketball parlance.Bennett’s play was your basic get down, in your face intimitation Bynoe was not a factor thereafter The lead subsequently changed hands for the rest of the night How's this for a Hollywood ending’’ Mullins scored a clutch basket w ith 23 seconds remaining to put the Gaiters up by three Immediately, the gutsy Stingers responded with a hoop by Harrigan with a dozen ticks left In a vain attempt \o steal the ball.Concordia kept fouling Bishop’s With three seconds left, the normally reliable lan MacLean found himself with a chance to ice the game with a couple of free throws MacLean missed from the charity stripe, and the Stingers had one last chance to win it Af ter a hastily-called time-out.Doug Daignault’s team had the ball at half court The in bounds pass somehow found its way into Bynoe’s hands The burly giant actually had a shot, but with Bishop’s Blair Shier draped all over him the resulting shot just missed.Jubilation' Afterwards, in the happy Gaiter dressing room, coach Garth Smith said, “This is one of the biggest games we’ve ever won — maybe the biggest.” Shier was elated as well “This means we ll have another game at Bishop’s It’s time now to get ready for McGill.” Coach Butch Staples of the Redmen was in atten dance at Loyola last night and when asked if the result was to his liking, replied, “Actually I’m happy to be play mg Bishop’s They play a more deliberate style than Concordia, who love to run all the time We have a thin

McCaghey By TERRY SCOTT The first time Floyd and Joan Ling cut a record album, they had to coax a $4,000 loan from their friendly bank er — they’re determined not to let the same thing happen for the next one feel Homebody around of a $3.000 console to extract the ultimate melodic blend of a group who’d recently recorded at his Mansonville studio “We don’t want to limit our serv ices to places like Montreal or Toronto,” he said “Most of the good talent comes out of the country.” explained Ling, the background of scattered building materials appro priately supporting the declaration "We're interented in the quality that goes out of here because here is going to make it big./ Financially drained by $100-an-hour recording sessions in frilly Montreal studios, the couple decided early last year that the cash would be better out-layed on a studio of their own Now, about $20,000 in time and materials later, the singing tandem that had its modest beginning at the old Beaver Pond Inn back in 1966 has opened the microphones to the dearth of musical talent they’re convinced abounds in the Townships “Most of the good talent Certainly his fledgling enterprise known as New Light Recordings, under the label of Colony Records - is the epitome of rurality “U'ipYp spent all our money getting it going." All but camouflaged in the shadow of three surrounding mountain peaks and a winding five miles from the mod ernity of supermarkets and gas stations, his newly renovated wood-framed abode has the earmarkings of a country retreat we mint people to come back." Still, the Lings haven’t tightened the pursestrings at the opportunity to provide advanced equipment.Floyd points to a $1400 compression system that permits the studio 19 takes of one person in stereo, while maintaining premier quality at all times “Most studios won’t spend that little extra, but we re just starting out and we re interested in the quality that goes out of here because we want peo^ pie to come back,” he remarked » » ».“Our motto is 'we rare how Left to right: Wayne Bedard.Joan Ling.Brian Bedard and Floyd Ling.The Bedard brothers are also partners in the operation.But, ascent a flight of stairs and what was once a woodshed built in 1823 by one of Joan’s ancestors, has been transformed into a sophistication of sound “We’re not yet equipped as well as we should be but that’s because we’ve spent all our money getting it going,” you sound\.“ comes out of the country.“We basically want to promote local talent because we feel somebody around here is going to hit it big,” predicted Floyd, as he flipped the controls Since the studio opened for business, less than two weeks ago.Ling has been approached by musicians anxious to get that potential hit down on tape, in- jpp ml i r£ ”13 HBbsaÉH mm Floyd Ling at the controls of his $,'1.000 console.I he recording stutlio has t'ttsi.so far.a total of $20.000.dustries seeking information on cutting a commercial, and even a university professor from Vermont inquiring about recording home study courses “Anybody who comes through that door we want to do it,” exclaimed Ling “Our motto is ‘we care how you sound” “We re not in this to make a bundle In fact, we’d be happy just to break even We re doing it for the love of the music industry and to give local peo^ pie the chance they otherwise might not have ” “When you're hot.the studio has to be there to take you." Recording sessions at New Light vary from $10 to $30 per session and the Mansonville owner promises that the doors will be open 24 hours a day “We’ve been in this before,” he ex plained, “so we know that groups af ter a session in a hotel are sometimes at their best to record When you’re hot, the studio has to be there to take you Ling sends out a stern warning, how ever, that booze or drugs won’t be tol erated around the studio, an edict which he says is designed as much to uphold the image of his venture as to discourage anyone with less serious intentions Contacts have already been established with most of the major record companies and any record ing with potential will be sent along for their assessment Regardless of their response, you’ll receive your finished product from Quality Records, of which Colony is an official agent, about a month after recording at Ling’s stu dio.“Let’s face it,” Ling says, sifting through some albums cut at more ela borate studios, “we re getting close to the Nashville sound but we can’t com pete with Nashville We can produce a helluva good record, though, so a guy can recoup his investment ” + www* * m * “.here* we're trying to stress quality above anything else./' » t He drew out one record produced elsewhere that he judged to be an in suit to both the artist and the record ing company “I would never bother to put our label on something as mediocre as that When that label goes on there, it’s a reflection of your company and here we re trying to stress quality above anything else In the midst of scrambling with partners Wayne and Brian Bedard to whip the place into shape.Ling also spends a large portion of his waking hours mixing tapes, which some ex perts claim is sometimes as much as 75 per cent of an effective recording “We just finished three half hour TV shows that will In» aired in Toronto by the Youth with a Mission group from Dunham I’m going to mix tapes tonight, in fact They came here 1h* cause it’s the cheapest place,” said Ling Sometime between sessions with lo cal customers, the Lings plan to make personal use of the studio to cut a new disk to complement the single and al bum they’ve already produced “It will tn* a country one this time rather than gospel singing,” revealed Floyd And, to their eternal relief, the pair won’t have to peel off a roll of $100 bills every time the dock tolls on the hour kV r\ v», » Record reporter Terry Scott (almvc) was hitnded the challenge of operating the equipment, lie attempted to mix several tapes, and commentcfL “Scott's the name, switching is not my game!" ‘Grand Ole Opry’ radio program reaches millions NASHVILLE, Tenn (AP) — For more than 50 years, starryeyed country singers and musicians with dreams of breaking into the big-time have nourished their hopes by tuning their radios Saturday nights to the Grand Ole Opry show The Opry has been picked up by radio listeners throughout the US.and Canada and even in foreign countries, because it is broadcast on WSM — a dearthannel station That means there are no other channels on its frequency And w ith such an extended reach, the Opry became the most cherished and influential show in country music.But the distinct sounds of the famed steel guitars and Roy Acuff's revered rendition of the Wabash Cannonball may eventually be limited The U S.Federal Communications Commission «FCC» has given preliminary approval to ending clear channel status for W’SM and about 25 other radio stations Officials at WSM have vowed to fight the action “I think those of us who leave and go on the road would be more conscious of the great service the station does.” said Opry star Minnie Pearl, who has performed on the legendary show since 1940 LIVE FOR SHOW We come in contact w ith people who just live for that Saturday night show,” she said “These people depend on WSM to get the Opry Millions of people Stills discusses rock music roots HOLLYWOOD « AP) — Stephen Stills is doing a lot of talking about his rock n’ roll roots these days, and it isn’t for old time’s sake “Stagnation has never been my strong suit.” Stills says So.at age 34.the perpetually anxious looking pioneer of the soft rock sound is turning more and more to music with a hard beat As demonstrated at a recent club engagement, that means wearing a sports coat, playing lots of fancy electric guitar licks and even spending a few energetic minutes attacking a percussion set-up It is certainly a far cry from the Stills of Crosby.Stills.Nash and Young fame, who wore plaid shirts, played a mellow acoustic guitar and sang soft, folksy harmonies while selling millions of records Stills has by no means severed his relationship with David Crosby and Graham Nash, but he makes it clear that for the time being his heart is with the more upbeat sound of his new band BEGAN WITH ROCK “That's where my roots are — rock n' roll, rhythm and blues.” he said “That’s the stuff I had most fun at “My musical career started when I was six.and I played the drums My favorite instrument is an electric guitar w ith an amp I was taught by the masters ” One of the masters was the late Jimi Hendrix who.along with Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr, played backup on Stills’s first solo album in 1970 At various times.Stills has also recorded w ith such stars as Al Hooper, Mike Bloomfield.Jim Messina and Donnie Dacus He helped start Buffalo Springfield in 1965 and put together Manassas in 1971 But he remains most widely-known and if record sa les areany indication best-loved, for his work with Crosby.Stills.Nash and Young Their Déjà Vu was Billboard magazine’s No 1 album of 1970 He goes to great lengths to avoid questions like, will the group ever retord with Neil Young again?” sit by their radio on Saturday night It would be awful if the audience was cut dow n ” The FCC action, which is not ex petted to take effect for two or three years, would limit the present clear channel stations to a range of 1,200 kilometres This would mean the Opry could be picked up in the southeast, north to C anada and west to Texas The Opry has been on the air 53 years longer than any other radio show It has never missed a broadcast, not even during the Second World War or when spring rains flooded the Grand Ole Opry House in 1975 It is approaching its 2,800th consecutive broadcast The FCC proposes to assign ap proximately 125 more AM radio stations to the frequencies which now enjoy clear channel status These stations probably would have 200 to 500 watts The current clear channel sta tions have up to 50,000 watts The FTC proposal also would cut into the listening audience of WSM’s all night country music shows during the rest of the week These shows, especially those hosted by Ralph Emery, have become favorites of truck drivers, night workers and insomniacs.“WSM was the pioneer station in country music,” Miss Pearl said “I came here 39 years ago and it’s the only station I’ve ever been affiliated with I know what it means to people around the country.” Female Russian rockers attract VILNIUS, USSR (AP/ - By day they are housewives But at night, the six women slip into sequined blouses or tight jeans and turn into The Wasps, Lithuania’s all-female rock music l>and The group is the main attraction at the Aerfortas restaurant discotheque, one* of the hottest nightspots in this Lithuanian capital On the Aerfortas dance floor, young couples in Saturday Night Fever garb are twisting and dipping with the sounds of The Wasps, who play every thing from Abba to Boney M to the Beatles And what do their husbands do while The Wasps are at work0 They watch hockey games on television all night long,” said 26 year old drummer Luda, who sports a modish-look ing pageboy hairdo That keeps them busy and then we don t have to worry about them The Wasps range in age from piano-player Louisa, 47.to bass guitarist Larissa, 19 Vita, 25.plays the flute.Lida.26.the organ and band-leader Jurate, 43.accompanies on the violin The group was formed seven years ago when Jurate decided to get together with several women she knew from music school But as older members dropped out and younger ones took their place, their music became more and more rock n' roll-oriented RECORDS SCARCE Even two years ago.Western rock music was forced underground by Russian officials worried about its “decadent” influence on young people But now, the official media has stopped denouncing popular music Lithuania radio is also in step, blaring such tunes as Jesus Christ Superstar in this heavily Roman Catholic Soviet republic But The Wasps complain that their repertoire of American songs is slim because of the difficulty of obtaining t S albums A record by a well known American group can sell for as much as $150 on the black market.Although no one in the band speaks English, each member learns lyrics by listening to the records over and over and trying to imitate the sounds Then they put together the

Jacoby and Alan Sontag South rightly envisioned slam after North bid two clubs over one diamond.His 20 high-card points plus the 10-point minimum North needed for the response put them in the slam zone North was proud of the dummy.He had 13 high-card points and a good six-card club suit.Unfortunately for South, the combined assets in the club suit did not include the 10 spot.The lack of this card would make a big difference in the way the contract was played.If the North hand had included the 10 of clubs, there was more than an 80 percent chance that South would take five club tricks The lack of the club 10 made South’s prospect of taking five club tricKs only 36 percent Declarer would need the clubs to divide 3-3.Thirty-six percent is a poor bet Even I^as Vegas and Atlantic City offer better than that.Declarer found a way to improve his chances.If the club suit does not break, declarer needs three diamond tricks to make the contract.The finesse for the king of diamonds is exactly a 50 percent chance.On the second trick East took the king of clubs with his ace and returned a diamond.Declarer was at the crossroads, put there by East’s excellent return of a low diamond.East’s diamond lead made it impossible for South to find out how the clubs were going to break before testing the diamonds.He had to make his choice then and there.South was in an uncomfortable position, but he did know elementary mathematics: a 50 percent chance is better than a 36 percent chance.He took the percentage play and made the contract.NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN * (Do
