Frank Mc-Crea.The Liberals held their hold of the county until Mr.Allard was elected as a straight Conservative in 1958, defeating Maurice Gingues, who had been Liberal MP since 1940.Mr.Allard was defeated by Gerard Chapdelaine, Social Cre dit, in the general elections of 1962.Mr.Chapdelaine was re-elected in 1963 but ended up as fourth man in a six-way race in 1965 which saw the return of Mr.Allard as an Independent PC.In the 1965 election, Mr.Allard polled 11.808 votes for a majority of 649 over the otf'Cial Liberal candidate, Roger Gingues, a son of the former Liberal MP, with 11,159.Other candidates were: Philippe Lord, Ralliement de Cre- ditistes, 5,522; Gerard Chapdelaine, Independent, 2,890; Philippe Brousseau, NDP, 1 356, and Marcel Pellerin, official PC, 649.While the boundaries of the various constituencies across Canada have been changed radically as the result of the work of the Redistribution Commissions, these will not become effective until the next general election.Thus Sherbrooke and the other three ridings in which by-t.iection.s will be held will elect representatives on the basis ot the 1965 boundaries.This means that Lennoxville, which is being transferred from Stanstead to Sherbrooke, will not be included in the June 17 vote.Israeli economy hit by military crisis By ROMAN MAGERA JERUSALEM (CP) - Israel celebrates its 20th anniversary as a nation this year.It still is no closer to solving its bloody feud with the Arabs than when the Jewish state was carved out of Palestine by the United Nations in 1948.While the political and military manoeuvring continues, the inhabitants of the narrow strip of land fronting the Mediterranean are fighting a second battle\u2014that of the pocket book.The Middle East crisis has placed a tremendous burden on the Israeli economy.Israel\u2019s economic mainstay is a citrus and fruit industry with an annual export market of nearly $80,000,000.There is little likelihood of an appreciable expansion in the immediate future.Tourism is the second-largest money-earner, bringing in more than $60,000,000 a year.Israel Loves Company is the official 20th anniversary slogan.TAKE OVER CITY While fighting still flares on the ceasefire lines and in the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian territory the Jewish state occupied forcefully last June, the government has tried to convey to the potential tourist that tiny Israel is an interesting place to visit.So it is.From the standpoint of the Bible and archeology, it is a land which probably contains more interest per square mile than any other country in the world.It is a holy place to Jew, Christian and Moslem alike.INDEX Births, deaths 5 Book\t7 Classified\t8 Comics\t5 Editorials\t4 Financial\t5 Sports\t11 Television\t2 Women\t6 In 20 years, it has become a half-Westem, half-Oriental land, encompassing more different people from different places with different beliefs than any other country its size.Besides the predominant Jews, there are Christiaas and Moslems, strange Druses with a secret faith, Maronites, Coptics and Bahais.The showpiece, of course, is Jerusalem, the reunited Holy City that half-clung to a fingertip of Israeli territory for 20 years until Jewish soldiers put the Jordanians on the run last June.TEL AVIV BRASH The Holy City is the capital.She carries her great age with the proud dignity befitting a city which has given the world Christianity and Judaism; a city of contrasts\u2014 printing presses and venerable scribes; donkeys and diesel buses; oriental robes and European dress; the bustle of the West and the stately slowness of the East.The crystal mountain atmosphere cloaks her with a mantle of piety.But modern Israel has become more than a holy land.It is Tel Aviv, the largest city with a population of about 400,000; an ultra-modern youngster carved out of the sand dunes on the Mediterranean in less than 20 years; raucous, restless, racy; always on the go; a city of bright lights, hot dogs, curb-side cafes and flamboyant crowds.It is Haifa, Tel Aviv\u2019s elegant Mediterranean rival and the country\u2019s main port, a hard-working city.Here live the men who make cement, blow glass, smelt steel and assemble automobiles; men of commerce, technicians.Their white apartment houses and villas cover the slopes of biblical Mount Carmel in a magnificent setting.It is Eilat, the southernmost settlement, separated from the rest of the country by the bleak Negev Desert; the country's only maritime link with Africa and the Far East inijv un .¦-777,'-\u2022 * * m.II THE POTHOLES THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING \u2014 This spring, city roads are in the worst condition since 1956 according to public works committee chairman Tony Pinard.The long, cold winter resulted in a much greater penetration of frost in the streets than usual.Above is a stretch of road on King Street West between Queen and London Streets which may be torn up and replaced with an asphalt layer applied to the road bed, (See story on Page 3) (Record photo: Doug Gerrish) Attorney seeks LBJ ouster ¦ NEW YORK\u2014(NEA)-If an obscure but angry attorney from the Midwest has his way, Lyndon Johnson will soon become the second United States president to face a formal congressional trial for impeachment.The attorney, James Williams of Minneapolis, has formed what he calls a bipartisan citizens group to enlist public support.The plan is rudely blunt: to have Congress publicly judge the President and thereby determine his legitimate right to continue in office.Williams' group is currently circulating \u2019petitions for the redress of grievances\u201d calling for immediate im-p each m e n I proceedings.Workers claim as many as one million Americans will sign such requests for the President's scalp.The campaign is co-ordinated.serious and in full swing.\"We're not just another kooky organization,\" says lawyer Williams.\"We're very By TOM TIEDE NEA Staff Correspondent concerned.We have the constitutional right to request this impeachment trial and the government has the duty to hear and act on our complaints.\" Williams, 42.has practiced law in Minnesota for 15 years.He has had one unsuccessful foray into politics, losing the 1960 Republican primary for the Senate He says he does not belong to any other political groups.He describes himself as a liberal in foreign affairs and a conservative at home.He says his movement has attracted support from all areas of the political spectrum.Williams asserts that the first amendment to the constitution gives every citizen the right to petition his government, thus providing \u201cthe only meaningful method of curbing the President, short of revolution.\" He admits some people have already petitioned President Johnson \u2014 in newspaper ads, letters, etc\u2014but he claims that they have been completely ignored.So, he has decided now \u201cto go all out.\" The attorney cites history's only presidential impeachment trial as precedent.That trial was held exactly 100 years ago this month, iri 1868.and ironically involved another president named Johnson .\t.Andrew, the 17th holder of office.Like his modern namesake, Andrew Johnson had ascended to his rank by the assassination of his predecessor (Abraham Lincoln).Also like LBJ, the earlier president became engaged in bitter controversies after taking command, Andrew Johnson\u2019s critics claimed he had surpassed his authority by ignoring Congress (another parallel with today).Both houses demanded his trial, There were 11 articles of impeachment against the 19th-century Johnson.But after two months of debate.Senate opposition did not muster sufficient votes.Approaches vary when Grit hopefuls visit Sherbrooke area Just six weeks ago, Eric Kier-ans, Revenue Minister in the former Lesage Cabinet at Quebec, visited Sherbrooke to touch off active campaigning for the leadership of the federal Liberal party, to be decided at the national convention in Ottawa next Saturday.Since then he has been followed by seven of the eight federal cabinet ministers actively seeking the mantle being laid down by Prime Minister Pearson \u2014 the only major contender not visiting this area being Agriculture Minister J.J.Greene.All, ostensibly, were pursuing a common objective \u2014 to meet the delegates from the region and secure their support at the national gathering of the party.But after experiencing the eight visits the question sometimes arises: Do the visitors know what they are trying to prove?Sometimes this appeared doubtful.Some of the receptions provided by the contenders were lavish and almost wide-open.Others were simple but equally wide-open.And still others were fairly restricted to a small group of key delegates.In some cases the candidates delivered lengthy speeches supplemented by question periods and press conferences.Others confined themselves to personal, jnformal discussions with the delegates.But for some reason or another, most of the contenders apparently failed to make any major impact on the delegates and it was obvious that few if any of those attending the gathering changed their views.Perhaps time, or lack of it, was an important element in the apparent inability to get through to the voting delegates, especially at the larger affairs.In many cases, a heavy travel schedule limited the leadership contenders to two or three hours in any centre.During this time he was expected to visit radio and TV stations, hold a press conference, make a speech and visit with the delegates.And on other occasions two candidates had engaged the same hall for receptions two hours apart.Twice this led to rather embarrassing situations.First was the Sunday afternoon when Finance Minister Sharp\u2019s appearance was delayed for two hours because a blizzard prevented his plane from landing at the local airport.As a result he had barely started to speak when Transport Minister Heilyer arrived for his engagement, The situation was somewhat alleviated by switching Mr.Heilyer to adjoining quarters while he allowed his rival a reasonable time to wind up his activities.And there was the time when the supporters of Justice Minister Pierre - Elliott Trudeau thronged into the hall before the time allotted to Trade Minister Robert Winters had expired.Probably the most lavish entertainment was provided by the organization supporting Mr.Winters.The Trade Minister was among the fortunate few who had ample time available for his program.Thus he was able to wine and dine the delegates at a local hotel before moving to the Reform Club for the general meeting \u2014 where the attendance was somewhat swollen by a number of idly curious, anxious to hear Justice Minister Tru- By CUTHBERT JONES (Record staff writer) deau whose visit took place later the same evening.The latter\u2019s rally featured the most noise and enthusiasm but its purpose was somewhat obscure.The assembly hall was pack-ed but very few were delegates and it is doubtful if most of them could vote at a general or by-election if one were held tomorrow.Most of the voting delegates at the reception were busily engaged in discussing the affairs of the day in another section of the club, rather oblivious to the proceedings elsewhere.Simplest events were those staged by Consumer Affairs John Turner in the opening stages of the campaign and the wind-up visitor, Welfare Minister Allan MacEachen.Both men confined themselves to informal dinners with local supporters and key delegates.Alone among the candidates former Quebec Minister Eric Kierans offered anything much in the way of definite promises.Perhaps because he is outside the charmed circle of cabinet ministers and thus not bound by the principle of cabinet solidarity, Mr.Kierans could offer some definite ideas that ran contrary to administration policy.He alone came out flatly for a delay in medicare on a universal basis, at least until the economic position of the country improved; he demanded that Canadians move to reduce their dependence on imported capital and he was bitterly critical of United States policy toward Vietnam.The other candidates preferred generalities.They insisted that medicare was now the law of the land but hinted that it could be reassessed when the House of Commons reconvenes; goodwill was needed on all sides for the solution of Canada's constitutional problems; the Senate could be revamped to make It a more effective part of the machinery of government.Strip nobility VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Paul Friday stripped the Roman nobility of all its privileges in the Vatican and opened the way for Italian or non-Italian commoners to be named members of the pontifical court.A decree effective immediately scrapped the centuries-old pageantry and splendor which have surrounded the papal court and replaced them with a modern system of administration.?Jets bomb again SAIGON (AP) \u2014 US.supersonic F-lllAs were reported to have struck at North Vietnam again Friday as Hanoi radio claimed the one missing since Thursday was \"shattered down\" by ground fire, Reliable sources said the F-111 As bombed the southern panhandle of North Vietnam, the same area where the missing plane was assigned to targets when it vanished.This was only four days after six of the F-lllAs went into action for the first time against the North.Y\tY Y New policy OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A support price of $4.85 a hundredweight for manufacturing milk, an extra benefit to shippers of farm separated cream and compensation for farmers who are being cut off the subsidy quota make up the new federal dairy policy.Agriculture Minister J.J.Greene announced the policy at a news conference Friday.Farm organization representatives who attended the conference in the agriculture department's new headquarters building expressed satisfaction with the policy.?No difference TORONTO (CP) - Justice Minister Trudeau told a news conference today there is no more political difference be tween himself and Premier Daniel Johnson of Quebec than exists between Prime Minister Pearson and Premier W A.C.Bennett of British Columbia.He said he does not support the special status for Quebec proposed at the Confederation of Tomorrow conference last November.Y\tY Y Question policy OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 long time Canadian defence policies have been seriously questioned by some candidates in the campaign leading to the April 4-6 Liberal leadership convention here.The sternest critic of these policies has been Eric Kierans, the former Quebec revenue and health minister, But he has been joined to some degree by Justice Minister Trudeau and Anro Minietor f«rf*pnp J SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SAT., MARCH 30.1968

will approve charter amendments Road repairs cost may soar this year Mayor Nadeau indicated yesterday morning three major amendments contained in a private bill to revise the City Act will be approved by the Quebec legislature.He said he is hopeful the bill will be tabled before the legislature adjourns in late June The bill was sent to Quebec last week.The three amendments which the mayor believes will be passed are: the formation of an executive committee, en - bloc elections starting in 1970, and boosting the aldermen's term of office from three to four years.The mayor said he couldn't comment on the possibility of increasing aldermen's pensions from $1.500 to $2.000 after nine City seeks approval for parking bylaw A property owners meeting will be held at city hall next Monday night for the approval of a bylaw calling for one parking space per apartment in apartment buildings built after the bylaw is passed.The bylaw was unanimously passed by city council two weeks ago.Aid.Tony Pinard, who has been a staunch crusader for all types of parking improvements in Sherbrooke, said in the past only one out of three persons living in bachelor apartments owned a car.But under today's conditions with the mushrooming of car sales it\u2019s no longer practical to have just one parking spot for three tenants.If the bylaw receives public support, it will be necessary for building contractors to designate greater room for parking facilities in new apartment buildings.The meeting will be held from 7 to 8 p.m.INSURE in sure INSURANCE Homeowners \u2014 Automobile

said he is \u201cvery confident\" the green light will be given for formation of an executive committee.Last August 7.Sherbrooke citizens voted solidly for an executive committee and en-bloc elections.The mayor also said yesterday that the proposal for en-bloc elections \u201cwill be granted.\u201d An en-bloc voting system would mean all city aldermen would be up for election at the same time at the end of their term.Under the present electoral system, aldermen are elected alternately each year.When the new executive committee is formed it will result in a three-branched system of city administration \u2014 executive committee, city council, and city manager.Last January following a meeting with Hull mayor Marcel D\u2019Amour, Mayor Nadeau said the executive committee could be functioning smoothly three weeks after its implementation.The Hull mayor was in Sherbrooke to brief council on the operations of Hull's executive committee which was formed in 1966.If the new system is accepted in Quebec, the executive committee will meet every week, w-hile council will meet about twice a month instead of the present weekly meetings.The executive committee will be responsible for the administrative affairs of the city.The council will be responsible for such legislative areas as the budget, contracts, bylaws and capital works.Mayor Nadeau has explained the executive council will prepare the bylaws and send them to council for app oval, when the bylaws are accepted and returned to the committee, it is this body\u2019s responsibility to look after implementation of the bylaws.The executive committee will be comprised of three aider-men and the mayor, who must appoint an intermediary president to serve in his absence at the first committee meet ing.By PETER VERRAL (Record Staff Reporter) Expenditures for city road repairs this spring and\" summer following the long, bitter ly cold winter could possibly soar to $200,000, Tony Pinard, chairman of the public works committee indicated recently.Mr.Pinard said the municipal roads department normally operates within a budget of $100,000 for expected yearly minor road repairs.Minor repairs will begin by May, while major jobs must wait until the end of June or July.However, the public works chairman indicated that it may be necessary for city countil to pass a bylaw which would call for tearing up parts of King Street West and Belvedere Street, and laying an asphalt surface on the road bed.Such work would add up to approximately $30,000 - $50.000 for work on King Street West and an additional $20,000 for construction on Belvedere Street Mr.Pinard said the stretch of pavement on King Street West between Queen and London Streets is very' bad, while the area between Galt and Short Streets on Belvedere is also in bad condition.He said the nub of the problem is that the asphalt hasn't adhered to the concrete surface.This causes water to seep under the asphalt layer which makes the pavement heave upwards Mr.Pinard said city streets this winter are in their worst condition since 1956 Chief Engineer of Public Works Roger Charland said yesterday afternoon studies arc still being made whether to tear out the concrete blocks on sections of King West and Belvedere Street or repave the areas needing attention.If it is decided to lay asphalt on the road surface, the necessary funds would come from the city\u2019s general revenues, according to Mr Pinard.He said he couldn\u2019t foresee any move by the city to approach Quebec for a road construction work grant.Mr.Charland said a major reason for the poor condition of city streets this spring can be attributed to the long, cold weather which has caused a great deal of frost The frost level is measured by a D-Day scale.D-Day is based at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and every degree below this reading is 1 D-Day.Mr Charland said the average D - Day reading last week was 2,800 The usual D-Day average is between 1,400 - 1,500.On a linear definition the usual frost penetration in Sherbrooke streets is four and a half to five feet during the winter.But this past winter the frost level almost doubled the usual depth as it bore down to a depth of seven and a half feet Most road repairs can t be made until the frost leaves the ground Daily patching work is now being carried out by city road department crews, and Mr Charland is hopeful that the department will stay within the allotted budget of $100,000 Most patching work on commercial streets is done in the early morning around 4 while work on residential streets is done during the day.The chief engineer said they were getting \u201cmany phone calls\" every day from irate citizens complaining about the road conditions.At present the roads department has a 32 to 34 - man crew working on patching jobs throughout the city The roads are also serviced by a fleet of nine trucks and three graders.Mr.Charland said there is an emergency stand-by road crew from 5 to 10 p.m.which is dispatched to repair certain stretches of mad following telephone complaints When asked, the roads expert said more than 15 calls a day are received Neither Mr.Pinard nor Mr.Charland would be pinned down as to which ward was suffering from the worst road conditions.Mr Pinard said the \"roads are bad all over, 1 wouldn\u2019t want to pick out one ward over another.\" Student will spend the weekend in jail

his probationers, taken alone have apparently no effect upon the outcome of supervision as measured by reconviction rates.Mr.Outerbridge, quoting a famous criminologist, said of WEEKS MONTREAL \u2014

arraignment to a charge of car theft.Alain Mercier pleaded guilty to stealing a car owned by Lionel Allard, of Asbestos.Judge Dugre, besides the prison term, also ordered the accused to post a $2(X)

prevails too often nowadays amongst businessmen and professionals goes against Canada's and even Quebec\u2019s best interests.Actually, such timidity on the part of all citizens in a country like Canada where freedom is paramount and where all conditions for happiness are available could prove to be a serious mistake.That was the opinion expressed Wednesday night by Claude Duhamel, Bell Canada Vice -President, in a talk delivered to members of Sherbrooke\u2019s Club Social, Disclaiming any \u201ceconomic terroroism\u201d or any intent to enter the current debate as to whether investments are increasing or decreasing in Quebec as a result of the constitutional issues, Mr.Duhamel said the present political instability was definitely not favoring investments in our province He invited all businessmen to abandon their attitude of \u201cfalse impartiality\u201d and to voice their opinions so as to counterbalance extremists of all breeds.\u201cAnd as the saying goes\u201d, he added, \u201cAll Evil needs to prevail is for all honest citizens to remain neutral.And when It has prevailed, the neutral will be Its favorite victims\".Mr.Duhamel went on to state that Bell Canada believed a reasonable and fair solution will be found to the constitutional problems and that his company had proved it year after year through its investments in Quebec.The Bell investmenLs in our province will exceed $115 million in 1968 As to the \u201clegitimate\" claims of the French-speaking people Mr.Duhamel said they should normally lead to the following type of Canada: \u201cTotal and exclusive action on the part of the Quebec Government in the fields of endeavor recognized as provincial by the Constitution and which do not interfere with the Federal Government\u2019s action in supra-national matters; the financial consequences of such exclusive action; the acknowledgment of the basic rights of the French - speaking minorities living outside of Quebec and a truly bilingual Central Government.\" The speaker added that these legitimate claims were not lead- ing Canada to disaster.\"Quite the contrary, the only thing which is in danger of perishing is the unjustified centralization of actions which are within the realm of the provinces' responsibilities\u201d.TH0S.W.LEONARD (ontinvnUl Building, Suite 509 Tel.569 2600 BLAIS & MADRO \"Quality Men'.Store\" CUSTOM

President HUGH DOHERTY Editor-in-chief SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1968 Centennial Year story told in Record today Cities, towns and villages in the Eastern Townships took second place to none when it came to celebrating Canada\u2019s hundredth birthday.The nature of their celebrations varied as did their permanent projects for marking Centennial Year but there were few indeed that did not make some suitable contribution to the great Canadian birthday party.In an effort to inform the residents of this area on the extent of these undertakings, the 71st annual review number of the Sherbrooke Daily Record which appears today has taken as its theme \"The Centennial Year that was.\u201d Throughout this issue are stories from each community telling just how its citizens observed Centennial Year, and of individual citizens who have played a major role in the development and growth of their home town or village.In some communities, such as Waterloo, 1967 had an unusual significance, marking not only the centennial of the foundation of Canada but also of the creation of the municipality as a corporate body.This combination of birthdays provided an opportunity for special celebrations in these towns, all of which are reviewed today.It is hoped that the special nature of this year\u2019s review will make the issue one to be treasured by our readers, whether present or former residents of the Eastern Townships.There\u2019s a vast difference between appearing well-preserved and in looking pickled.A whistle for spring A country boy knows how to welcome the new season.He knows a special

robins, bluebirds, redwings, and singing telephone wires.One needs a smooth, straight piece of willow about a half inch in diameter.The life juice between bark and wood is running strong these days; it is easy to tap the bark loose with the back of a knife.The mouth piece is cut at a slant; a V-shaped cut is made about half an Country flavor inch from the end; a cut is made along the top of the wood from the mouth end to the V cut.A lad really needed three or four whistles because different notes could be played with different sized cuts.If one wished, a small pea bean in the notch would produce a soprano trill that rivalled the high notes of an opera star.Since ancient days man has created music.He has made many kinds of instruments to satisfy his longing for melodies that express deep feelings.A willow whistle is a simple device, but the notes that sound these days along country roads are part of the music that welcomes spring.Just about the time we begin to believe everyone in this shop is one big family, our coworkers begin to act like in-laws.TODAY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 30, 1968 .The United States bought Alaska from Russia for $7,-000,000, 101 years ago\u2014in

all-women gang currently plaguing Singapore Some of the female gangsters \u2014pretty, young and shapely\u2014 look as if they have stepped straight out of a Hollywood film.After 14 girl gangsters were arrested recently, police secretary Loke Foo Ÿee said crimes committed by women in this island republic presented one of its major headaches.The rounding up of the 14 girls helped to break up one of the island\u2019s most notorious criminal bands\u2014the \u201cbutterfly\" gang.The all-women gang had been operating for more than a year, mainly as decoys in holdups.Working with underworld male friends, the girls\u2014mostly bar or cabaret dancers\u2014would lure unsuspecting \u201cRomeos\" lo the dark alleys of downtown Singapore.Down a dimly-lit sidestreet the victim would be beaten and robbed.Police say women were found to be members of smaller gangs rounded up recently after a series of minor hold-ups and purse snatchings.ULVERTON \u2014 The marriage of Judy Ann, daughter of Mr.and

POLLY\u2014I make a nice rich suds with a mild detergent and lukewarm water and soak my crocheted bedspread in the bathtub until all the dirt is loosened.I get down on mv knees and \"knead\" the spread if it is very soiled.Drain a lid refill the tub with lukewarm water.Do this several times or until all the suds are removed.Drain and hang on the line without wringing and the spread will look like new.\u2014 DORIS DEAR POLLY\u20141 am answering Ruby who wants to know how to wash her hand-crocheted bedspread.I wash mine in a cold-water detergent in cold water and then rinse.1 drape it over two or three lines and pin the four corners with clip clothespins so the weight is not all in any one place.These lines hold it up very nicely.\u2014C.V.R.HEAR CURLS\u2014Slime dry crocheted bedspreads in curtain stretchers so there is no shrinkage and the corners dry per-feellv straight.When drying on the line, pull the four corners square by stretching several times during the dry ing period, as this helps prevent shrinkage.Attach clothespins carefully so no marks are left.If the washing is to be done in the machine.1 like to soak first and then wash onlv a few minutes.If the edges are fringed, a stiff brush and wide-toothed comb are good for removing the tangles, even though it does seem like a long job.\u2014POLLY DEAR POLLY Mine is a Pointer from Germany on root cuttings and

the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Georg Solti.London, Two - record set, Stereo OSA 1269; Mono A 4269.After listening to the performance of this overpowering opera, one feels like Melina Mecouri who stated in the movie \"Never on Sunday,\" after telling the story of a great Greek tragedy: \"Let\u2019s go to the seashore and have a picnic.\" That is exactly what is called for after listening to the score of \"Elektra \u201d, the emotional drain is so great.Richard Strauss based his opera on the libretto provided by the Austrian poet, Hofmannsthal.The dramatic architecture which Hofmannsthal built on the tragedy of Sophocles incorporates the essential power of the Greek original: the dementia of the princess of Argos thirsting for revenge of the murder of her father, Agamemnon, by her mother, Clytem-nestra; her vain plea for help from her sister; finally, her brother\u2019s return to Mykenai and his slaughtering of the mother and her lover; the wild dance of ecstasy of Elektra before falling lifeless to the ground.A grim story, indeed; and if one needs a picnic at the seashore afterward to recover normality, don't miss the excuse for the picnic \u2014 one of the most powerful purgations of the spirit in literature; and in the area of music, one of the most overpowering of experiences.On these records, all the fire and passion is captured by Georg Solti leading the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.T li e grooves surge with the power and drama of Strauss' score And it would be difficult to top the cast assembled for this re cording In Die role of Elektra \u2014 a role which requires the presence onstage of the soprano for the entire opera \u2014 Birgit Nilsson is surely unsurpassable Anyone who heard Miss Nilsson sing this role last summer at Expo will agree that she deserves the ultimate superlative.When the opera was first sung at Dresden in 1909.Madame Schumann - Heink sang the role of the mother, Clytemnestra.She renounced her role after the first performance; she said it was too demanding for any singer, and, anyway, the whole opera was \"dreadful howling.\u201d Demanding the roles are, but there is no \"dreadful howling\u201d in this performance.(The opera can lu* \"dreadful\"; 1 heard a dreadful performance last July in Munich because of inadequate casting.) On these records, Regina Resnik is the Clytemnestra, and is superbly horrible, as she should be in the role.The Australian soprano, Marie Collier, sings Chrysothemis the sister with fine focus and human contrast to Elektra.Gerhard Stolze and Tom Krause are authoritative in the subordinate male roles.The combination of the producer, John Culshaw, and the conductor, Solti, seems a guarantee of excellent performance; it is the one which gave us on records the total \"Ring\" cycle of Richard Wagner.Now we have tills exciting two-record album.A brochure is enclosed which gives the libretto of \u201cElektra\" in English, and other interesting information about the opera.Somewhere between is a fit human path Veteran Vietnam soldier engaged in a war war correspondent Tom Tiede probes the mind of a doubting young he doesn't believe in.Still a very bad book TWENTY LETTERS TO A FRIEND, by Svetlana Alliluyeva; Fitzhenry and Whiteside Ltd., 246 pages.When this book first came out last summer, hard on the heels of the sensational defection to the west of the author, Stalin\u2019s daughter, it was savagely ripped to pieces by a number of prominent literary rtviewers.Would the book, one wondered at the time, benefit from a more objective reading, after the clamor of Svetlana's fetching press conferences on television had died down; when public appetites for titillation had turned elsewhere?Alas.no.It is still a very bad book, and time has only made it worse If ever there was any doubt that Twenty Letters to a Friend was issued in hot haste to cash in on world attention when it was at its peak, there can be absolutely no doubt now, What other possible excuse can there be for publication of this schoolgirl's collection of personal vignettes?The style of writing is that of a not-too-talented teenager, fondly recording memories of \u201chome\u201d for a school essay.Svetlana's attempt to depict her father as a gruff, but kind-hearted and much - maligned Georgian peasant is, in ad dition, seriously weakened by her own of ten - expressed admission that she didn t really know what her father was thinking or doing most of the time.Little wonder the author is puzzled by her mother's sui cide.The idea that Stalin himself may have in some way been responsible for it is so studiously avoided as to almost guarantee that the reader will think the worst, although he is obviously supposed to think only the best.Some readers may put down the book (not difficult to do at any point in the narrative) with the odd impression that Svetlana\u2019s writing style seems somehow familiar.These will be people who at one time or another have read copies of the official Soviet magazine for THE TEMPLE ON THE RIVER by Jacques Hebert;

McClelland and Stewart; 127 pages; $5.00 (cloth), $2.50 (paper) and THE SPLINTERED MOON by Joy Kogawa; Fiddlehead Poetry Books; 12 pages; 50 cents.John Robert Colombo is the originator of found poetry or as he prefers to say \u201credeemed prose\".Such works consist of prose selected by Mr.Colombo, slight-ly reshaped and printed as poetry ABRACADABRA contains a number of these found poems, a scattering of translations and Colombo s collected poems of the last ten years.The result reveals a disappointing poetic decade.Mr Colombo is a widely respected critic with sophistication, intelligence and wit.On the evidence of this volume, however, he lacks poetic fire, the thrust emanating from deep emotional experience.Or, in words Mr.Colombo would probably prefer, he sees the surface not the depth of reality.Joy Kogawa, on the other has been through the furnace of rejected love and has enough fiery explosiveness to splinter the moon.But, of course, she is herself the moon; \"I want to know the Touch of a man who knows My war.I want to Man destroyed by know love.\" Although shattered, Miss Kogawa rejects placidity; \"And I bartered my bloody star For a pointless package of peace.\" In her best poem, she re-gathers her splintered divisions and emerges as a wiser and more complete person: \"We explode ourselves Lurch from our centres Split ourselves into endless splinters Releasing waves of consciousness That swell a cohesive bind Midst our Leacock's left hand was lumpish FACES OF LEACOCK by Donald Cameron;
