unable to find work fell for the sixth consecutive month in September to 719.000 from 772.0(H) in August.This reduced the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate to a three-year low of 7.1 per cent.Statistics Canada reported todav The last time the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate, the government's usual indicator of the seriousness of unemployment, fell to 7.1 per cent was in September.1976 Seasonal adjustment means the rate compensates for predictable seasonal fluctuations in the job situation such as the beginning of the school year or freeze-up.The number with jobs in September was 10.53 million compared with 10 91 million in August The drop reflected primarily the removal of student workers from the job force with the end of summer vacations As always, regionally depressed areas and young jobseekers suffered most of the burden The jobless rate in Newfoundland, for example, was 14.1 per cent almost twice the national average.For those in the 15-to-24 age bracket, the unemployment rate was 12.3 per cent Windsor.Ont., which has been the most obvious metropolitan trouble-spot in the unemployment picture for the last three months because of declining

weeks ago when the Federal Reserve Board an nounced a previous half-per-cent in crease in its lending rate But Bouev said today he felt the central bank had to match its U S counterpart this time By raising its rate, the central bank signals the chartered hanks and other lending institutions that it wishes them to charge their borrowers more, discouraging credit buying and tightening the amount

Valentyn Moroz, one of five Soviet dissidents freed in April in exchange for two Soviet spies in a deal with the l ruled States, said the only way the West can negotiate with the Soviet Union is by showing that it has greater strength In a weekend interview, speaking through his inter prêter, Moroz said “Western politicians have to come to understand that Moscow only understands power and strength “North America has greater natural resources than oil They have wheat, and there is a catastrophic-shortage in the Soviet Union with respect to foodstuffs Moroz, 43, in Toronto to »o Ukrainian groups.said Moscow's greatest opportunity is the West’s lack of understanding Western Europe and North America are relatively small islands of calm peace while the rest of the world lives in the logic of turbulence “To sign agreements with • Soviet Leaden Leonid Brezhnev is an illusion It is an illusion to think that in this utopia you can divorce yourself from the rest of the world ” FFKkS AT HOME About his life in the West, he said I expected to have a greater sense of strangeness, of separation with America, but as it turns out.the reality of the North American continent is not as divorced as I would have ex pected “There are two reasons for this, Ukrainians and Western people are individualist, and the Ukrainian community has provided a bridge < for me> to become accustomed to life here ” About Canada.Moroz said, the country is within the ranks of the 10 most powerful countries in the world but Canadians have yet to become accustomed to their role in economic areas

COWANSVILLE - Though local negotiations are proceeding at a calm pace, members of the Bedford Association of Teachers BAT will undoubtedly be joining their confreres across the province in considering a strike mandate when they meet at Massey Varner tomorrow afternoon Peter Langford, local negotiator for the 250-member BAT.told The Record in an interview Friday that while ‘ the local board is not the problem very few issues of any significance had been allotted by provincial negotiators for consideration at the board level He pointed out that while 29 clauses were nogitiated locally in 1975.only nine were being discussed between local school boards and their teacher > during the current negotiations “These items are of the type that onl> take a tew days to negotiate, said Langford The issues to be debated at the local and the provincial levels are decided b\ a protocol signed early in the negotiation procedure by the govern ment, the school boards and the teacher s unions, in this case the FTQ CEQ and PAPT This is called a partage” and while such items as workload and salaries will be negotiated at the provincial level assignment and transfer, method of payment and the details of the school calendar are among those things on the From Little House by Katharine Snow I am a slow learner and have become the absolute despair of my big-word son For instance.I have been tramping these Megantic woods for years and never knew that moss ior mosses» have a sex life On one of our walks this summer my son.who stops every three steps to examine things that I can t even see.asked me if I had noticed the predominance of male moss this year I thought that he might be leading into a questionable joke and hesitantly replied that I had never noticed He fixed that unblinking stare of his on me and with no pity whatever, asked.“You know about the sex life of moss, don’t you0” At the convent even the sex life of humans was kept from us.I thought it best to confess at once my total ignorance of the whole subject This frequently saves a lot of time.My lesson started then and there It was deadly hot in the sunlight and the blackflies were having a good afternoon I was compelled to squat down in order to examine more closely the innocuous plant life It seems that the tiny, jaunty stems with tops w hich look for all the world like little Irishmen in silk hats are the males, while the demure and simpering green spread a little further on represents the breathlessly awaiting females Ordinary courtship, my authority assures me.is not so simple “The boys,” however impatient, must await rain or some kind of waterflow to wash them gently towards the anxious ladies.Thankfully he w as a bit vague about the actual process of the union’ Essential education such as this was not limited to daytime hours Nearly every clear night, and they were all clear.I was dragged from a wonderfully cozy bed and propelled outside, clutching my housecoat around me against the agonizing chill, pushed through pitch darkness dowh the ten steps to the sundeck to see the Seven Sisters My husband and my son know no time limits where the watching of stars, birds, fish or animals is concerned Hence we might frequently stand for a very long time watching what seems to me.in my “blind and naked Ignorance”, to be the selfsame star* that 1 have been looking at all of my life 1 used to be a straightforward and truthful person but after years of these outdoor watches, I am driven by cold and discomfort to lie; I tell them zealously that I see exactly whatever it is that they want me to see Of course they never believe me and question me endlessly in a w ay that would make the Inquisitors of the Holy Office look like pussycats.However.I achieved one small victory this summer Every year I agree that the Seven stars are indeed beautiful for a briefing on the negotiations with the government and while “I'm sure that most people didn’t go into that meeting

September, most of the teachers were probably more interested in how the F\po> were doing said Umgford “Well, the season s over now Asked it Wednesday > meeting to be attended by representatives from PAPT.including President Donald Peacock would produce a strike mandate.Langford refused to speculate It will depend on the situation at that time, he said Langford said that a numt>er of other teacher unions had favored strike action but not because of the salary issue He said the government offers on working conditions were instead “an insult to their professionalism Langford agreed that the Parti Québécois had proven to 1h‘ tougher at the bargaining table than the Liberals and not ed that the last contract was signed on November 12.1978 just three da>> prior to the defeat at the polls ot the

Johnson, one ol the famous Johnson family of Earlstown renowned for their ploughing ability throughout tin* Eastern Townships since the turn ol the century, Mac Ross.Turner Hunter, a veteran of 41 years of competition and Curtis Beatty who has ploughed in every match in the E T this year, vied for the position of oldest plough man on the field After careful perusal of birth dates, Curtis Beatty tin only one of the four who competed with horses proved to be the oldest, his birthday being in January The most interesting event of the day unfolded near the entrance to the field as Jim Duff, editor of the Sher hrookc Record and Lloyd Bliss, editor of the Stanstead Journal competed against each other in a match that w.is a result ot a challenge at the Ploughmen's Banquet last year Here, one could almost smell the con centration in the air as both men.whose exjH»rience with tractors and farm machinery was next to nil, attempted with frowning concentration and some choice words to plough a straight furrow in the face ot seemingly insurmountable difficulties Ne\ ert heless.they both completed then lands, and the results w ill be announced at the banquet slated for October nth.at

smile as usual Willie Delaney, a Kingsbury ploughing enthusiast.had more than his share of misery yesterday Competing with a walking plough behind a team of fine horses is always difficult enough, but Mr Delaney had suffered a fractured ankle less than a week Indore the match and yesterday, in the miserable weather, he ploughed anyway, proving that today s farmers are still made of tough stuff Hob Johnson, son of one of the over seventy contestants at the Stanstead match, ploughed this weekend at U)th matches and arrived at \estorday s competition on his tractor, covered with mud and half frozen, but carrying proudly in his picket a silver medal won by his father in 1903 at a match held in Copelton in November of that year The Sherbrooke County Ploughmen’s Supper will take place on h

on the post revolutionary age of the caudillos — charismatic men on horseback who seized power — as well as the traditional Libera 1-Conservative antagonism that from school and many were taken during raids on their homes Information on the whereabouts of the children is scantly “Though 90 per cent of the world's nations practice torture and violate basic human rights, we thought it important in
