regulation that requires professionals to pass a French grammar test.Grey announced his intention after abandoning a case involving a dentist who went to court when he was refused permission to practise because he had failed a grammar test.The case was dropped when the dentist passed the exam on his fourth attempt.Andrea Berardelli was originally refused the right to practi- Bouchard bans breast implant By Helen Branswell OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Health Minister Benoit Bouchard has told manufacturers of silicone breast implants to temporarily stop distributing them in Canada \u2014 two days after they did so voluntarily.Three American manufacturers \u2014 who produce 95 per cent of the silicone gel implants sold in Canada \u2014 voluntarily agreed to withdraw them from sale worldwide two days ago in response to a plea from U.S.health officials.Bouchard insisted it would have been irresponsible for his department to immediately parrot Monday's call by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration for a temporary moratorium on the use of silicone filled breast implants.Critics, however, have suggested his actions amounted to too little, too late.\u201cWhy have (they) waited 48 hours?\u201d asked Liberal MP Don Boudria.\u201cThe minister says: \u2018Well, we mustn\u2019t automatically imitate the Americans.\u2019 \u201cBut I say to you if the product is made in the United States and it was banned in the United States .well what possible excuse or reason or otherwise do we have for waiting that extra 48 hours?\u201d NDP MP Lynn Hunter called Bouchard\u2019s announcement

do no further surgery with these devices.\u201d Bouchard didn't go that far, saying he trusts the professionalism of doctors.As early as Monday, there were indications many Cana- Yeltsin defends dian doctors would avoid using the silicone implants while the American moratorium continued.Following Bouchard\u2019s announcement, Montreal plastic surgeon Carolyn Kerrigan said it wouldn't be advisable to ignore the clear intent of Bouchard's statement.\u201cI would not think it would be very prudent for somebody to (implant a silicone version) against a recommendation by the minister of health,\u201d said Ker- rigan, who is secretary of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons, The society hasn't told its members to stop using silicone implants.But Kerrigan said she planned to discuss the issue with the society's president.\u201cPresumably we will follow the recommendation of the health minister.\u201d Bouchard took responsibility for the decision not to move until Wednesday.\u201cI personally decided (Tuesday) to wait to make the decision until today, with the hope of having the necessary informa- .tion that would let us judge for ourselves,\u201d he said.But by late Wednesday, his department still had not received the new information which led to the FDA decision.\u201cAfter two days, I can\u2019t wait any longer.\u201d The FDA's action was based on information including the fact that some doctors were reporting an increase in the number of cases of auto-immune disorders \u2014 like arthritis and lupus \u2014 among women with silicone gel implants.The Health Department estimates about 150,000 Canadian women have had implants since the products come on the market.harsh reforms MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 Shoppers angered by soaring prices

campaigning to quell unrest and urge Russia's 147 million people to give his economic policies a chance to work.For weeks, he has told Russians freeing prices and privatizing industry will begin to raise living standards by 1993.But the largest and most powerful of the former Soviet republics will first have to struggle through six to eight difficult months, he has warned.Shoppers across the

public concern about meningitis.They are also baffled about why each new case of meningitis is receiving widespread publicity, when hundreds of cases that occurred annually in past years didn\u2019t make the news at all.\u201cI think with the publicizing of each case, that really takes on a momentum that can exaggerate the impact,\u201d Francoise Bou- chard, director of the West Quebec public health department, said at a news conference Wednesday.She was fielding questions about the meningitis situation as two new suspected cases were reported in the Ottawa-Hull area.Both cases involve young people.Bouchard sparred with reporters who challenged her assertion that there is no epidemic of the disease.\u201cThere's some kind of backlash about it because the more we try to be open about it the more we are being targeted,\u201d said a visibly angry Bouchard.In the past month there have been 11 deaths from meningitis in Canada, most of them in Ontario and Quebec.The scare began when three Ottawa high school students suddenly died from the disease within two days in mid-December.\u201cIt's unusual to have this number of deaths clustered together in time and geographically,\u201d said Jo Anne Ford of the federal Health Department.\u201c- But you have to look at what is happening in the large picture.\u201d She said Canada averages See FEAR, page 2.Natives: Self-government key to unity By Gerry Arnold OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Assembly of First Nations said Wednesday it is willing to be a partner in a new Constitution if natives are treated as equals and granted

1987 the Lennoxville Youth Centre (Maison des jeunes) was created to provide kids with a place where they could hang out.The centre's board of directors will have an open house on January 27, which may be attended by Monique Gagnon- Tremblay, Immigration and Cultural Affairs Minister and Jean Charest, Environment Minister, to promote the centre and encourage kids to visit.There are as many as 200 maison des jeunes in Quebec and 20 to 25 of those are located in the Eastern Townships.The centre in Lennoxville receives $40,000 yearly from the Ministry of Social Affairs, which is used to pay the three staff members who work at the centre full time.Carole Bergeron, coordinator at the centre, said that despite all attempts to encourage the estimated 250 kids who live in the Lennoxville area to come the centre, the attendance remains low.She attributes the problem to misconceptions about the centre.\u201cIt is not an activity centre, nor a place where drugs or alcohol are permitted,\u201d

law By Helen Branswell OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The landmark Nancy B.case in Quebec illustrates the need for federal legislation concerning the right to die with dignity, a number of experts suggest.In a decision released Monday, a Quebec judge said a woman identified only as Nancy B.had the right to demand to be disconnected from a respirator that has been keeping her alive for the past 2-and-a-half years.Some ethics experts say if the federal government doesn't pass legislation that clearly sets out the rules on the termination of essential medical treatment, the law will evolve through the cour- That could lead to a piecemeal and confusing legal situation and could place a chill on doctor- patient relations, some medical ethicists suggest.Barry Hoffmaster, director of the Westminster Institute for ethical studies in London, Ont., is concerned about the federal government's inaction in this area.\u201cThe facts of these cases are often very special,\u201d Hoffmaster says.\u201cSo what might be a reasonable solution for that particular case gets viewed as a general policy pertaining to a whole host of cases that are different.\u201d Eike Kluge, the former director of medical ethics for the Canadian Medical Association, says the case may improve the chances that a private member's bill being studied by a Commons committee will pass.\u201cThis case puts pressure on the House committee not to dismiss the concerns that were raised by (Conservative MP) Bob Wenman and by those who supported that bill, suitably amended,\u201d says Kluge, who teaches philosophy at the University of Victoria.PATIENT RIGHTS Wenman's bill is designed to ensure terminally ill people have the right to refuse or stop medical treatment.So far, it has been up against stiff odds.Private member's bills rarely pass.Critics have said this one is too simplistic and would set the country on the slippery slope toward euthanasia.Furthermore, Justice Minister Kim Campbell doesn\u2019t like the bill and, while she hasn't said it would be killed, her support is likely crucial.Kluge believes Wenman'\u2019s bill can be salvaged and Le says doctors need the clear legal guidance that can only be provided by a law or legal precedent that has passed the test of an appeals court.In his view, the Nancy B.case probably won't be a valid precedent because it is unlikely to be appealed.Without that, doctors don\u2019t know where they stand legally, Kluge insists.\u201cSo you always Disabled woman wants WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 A disabled Winnipeg woman is trying to raise $10,000 so that she can go to Quebec City and try and talk a woman out of taking herself off of life support.Theresa Ducharme, a 45-year- old quadriplegic and an activist for the disabled, also says she has been contacted by other families suffering from the same rare disorder as Nancy B.and they are urging her not to give up.Nancy, 25, suffers from Guillain-Barre syndrome, is paralysed from the neck down and is being kept alive by a respirator.Quebec Superior Court ruled Monday that she has the right to be taken off the respirator.Ducharme, a polio victim who also breathes through a respirator, wants to to visit

Polish-Canadian Congress was sponsoring citizens who met certain criteria.\u201cI went to the Polish Canadian Congress in Montreal and they told me they weren't accepting any applications,\u201d she says.Celer then decided to try the Polish congress in Ontario.\u201cThe Polish Congress in Mis- sisauga agreed to sponsor me.\u201d While Celer was waiting for her immigration papers to be processed, she returned to Montreal to have her visitor's visa extended.REFUSED IT \u201cThe immigration officer in Quebec refused to recognize the sponsorship program of the Polish Congress,\u201d she said.\u201cHe finally agreed to extend my visa after I got notorized documents from two co-sponsors.\u201d Meanwhile, Celer read about a federal government program which would allow people sponsored

not really about economics.It's about a ginger ale.No one appears to know for sure where ginger ale was invented or when.But an article in the June 1991 edition Beverage World magazine, called \u201cA Brief History of Ginger Ale\u201d, says it was probably invented in Belfast, Ireland in the 1850s.John Henry Bryant was born in the Eastern Townships, but his parents came from Belfast.So when he decided to get into the young soft-drink industry, it\u2019s no surprise he decided to include ginger ale, which the article\u2019s writer says was the most popular soft drink long before the colas took hold.J.H.Bryant called a man from Massachusetts to show him how to make soft drinks, and Bryant hired Cubitt Gray to make Bull's Head for him.\u201cOne Sunday afternoon they went to a warehouse on Depot St.and that man taught my dad how to make soft drinks,\u201d Gray's son Percy says.\u201cAnd it gradually grew from there.\u201d UNIQUE The people who drink Bull's Head swear by its uniqueness.And the people who made it are a proud of that.As a \u201cBelfast\u201d-type ginger ale, it has a sweeter, and stronger taste than the dry ginger ales common today, according to Gerry Bryant.\u201cA rye mixed with a Bull's Head would taste lousy,\u201d he says.The special way the ginger and the carbonation were handled are part of the recipe, which is still a closely-guarded secret.truck, and its bound driver, a half hour later in Bolton Centre, taking the phone-booth money The driver managed to untie himself and hailed a passing motorist, who called police.The victim was not injured.About $7000 was F5 \u201cWhen you took the drink, and you put it up to your face, you'd almost invariably be ready to sneeze,\u201d Gerry says.Lavigne toned it down a little when he bought the rights, but Gerry says \u201cwe still drank the stuff at Christmas this year.\u201d Then there is Bull's Head's healing powers.\u201cI know of two or three doctors who would prescribe it,\u201d Gerry Bryant says.\u201cIt was the combination of the ginger and the hot liquid that did the job.You'd break right out in a sweat.I don\u2019t know if doctors would do it today.They'd probably pooh-pooh it.\u201d HEALING POWERS \u201cIt was as good as any tonic or anything in the pharmacy,\u201d says Irving Richards, a chemist for the Bryant Co.until the early 70s.\u201cNot only that, but if you ate well but not too wisely, and you took some Bull's Head, you'd be up and around in no time,\u201d Richards says.Percy Gray, 84, who remembers J.H.Bryant well and who ran the plant for many years, speaks of the drink\u2019s \u201cbouquet,\u201d its carbonation process, and of the care that went into every step of its production, as if he\u2019s talking about fine wine.\u201cI have no regrets spending my life making soft drinks,\u201d says Gray, whose 50 years with the Bryants were marked in 1973 with an electronic Omega watch.Gray also has the gold pocket watch and chain his father received in 1947 after his 50 years.\u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a better relationship with a company,\u201d Gray says.\u201cThey were unquestionably the best.\u201d \u201cI had the

check it manually, which takes up to 72 hours, McConnell said.The cheques were passed in Durham, Sawyerville and South Stukely, but McConnell said the other suspects may try to use some of the remaining cheques in Montreal.Police don't know how many more suspects they are looking for. 2 tewan ~ \u2014\u2014\u2014.4\u2014The RECORD\u2014 Thursday, January 9, 1982 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1 °97 Editorial) People are turning deaf with fear If there is one thing that can be agreed upon when talking about meningococcal infections these days, it's that the disease is a frightening thing.Unfortunately, that is about the only opinion people seem to be capable of sharing, as rational discussion on the subject has turned info heated debate and, at times in the past few weeks, has threatened to slide into mass hysteria.The question that has been on the tip of everyone\u2019s tongues, if not in the back of their minds, is, \u201cDo we, or don\u2019t we, have a meningitis epidemic on our hands?Up to now, the answer given by health professionals has been an unequivocal \u2018No\u2019.But one of the main problems we are facing is that no one seems to be listening.People are turning deaf with fear.And the frustration is beginning to show.On Wednesday the director of the West Quebec public health department, Francoise Bouchard, held a news conference to tell people that their concern over the disease is becoming more and more exaggerated with each new case publicized in the media.It seems that she has a good point.Despite 11 deaths from meningitis in Canada in the past month, there is no concrete evidence that tells us any of these cases are directly linked.This is crucial to understand.When a case is discovered, anyone having had contact with that person is being given antibiotics to pre-empt the onset of the disease.That's exactly what was done after Knowlton\u2019s Danny Williams died from meningitis on Christmas Eve.But, from what we are being told by professionals in the field, there is no reason to think we need to have mass vaccinations.What we need more than ever is a leveling out of the emotion that has swept parents, and even children, of the country.The numbers tell us that about 400 Canadians come down with meningococcal infections every year.This year is not radically different.The health department\u2019s Bouchard said the media\u2019s decision to widely publicize cases is playing a large part in exaggerating public concern, and she may be right.At times, some media have grossly overplayed stories surrounding the disease.And this is wrong.The media should do its best to reflect reality as fairly as possible, without pumping baseless fears into the hearts and minds of its concerned audience.Everyone is worried for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.And so the threat of meningitis is one that we should all take heed of.But that doesn\u2019t mean meningitis should start controlling the way we live.At this point, it hasn't grown so big that it should be allowed to do that.MIKE SHAHIN Segal\u2019s impact on Constitution will be felt By Robert Russo OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Hugh Segal\u2019: strengths may be in strategic planning and communications, but no one should play down his role in the development of a new Constitution, his predecessor says.Segal, who will take over as Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's new chief of staff later this month, is not a constitutional expert.\u201cBut I wouldn't underestimate the role that he will play,\u201d said Norman Spector, who is leaving the post of Mulroney's chief of staff to become ambassador to Israel.\u201cHe does have significant experience on constitutional matters.\u201d That experience was gained as a key adviser to former Ontario premier Bill Davis, Spector said.Davis was a staunch supporter of then prime minister Pierre Trudeau when the federal government intended to unilaterally patriate the British North America Act with a charter of rights in 1980.\u201cBut he\u2019s got other skills that can be brought to bear on this file including his knowledge of the party, his knowledge of the caucus and cabinet and communications,\u201d Spector said.Clues to how Segal believes the Constitution should be changed might be found in the report by the Group of 22, wi:ich calls for the federal government to get out of health care, education and social programs.Segal was a member of that group, which includes prominent academics, bureaucrats and ex- politicians.But the man who will now serve as Mulroney's closest political adviser said he was then expressing his views as a private citizen.CHANGING TIMES \u201cI had the right to argue my views publicly, as any private citizen can,\u201d Segal said in an interview Wednesday.\u201cIn my present circumstances, I don't have any public views.en \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ms \u2014\u2014 C\u2014O or ST EE == \u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014

lesser significance.\u201d The group, which released its report in June, called for a massive transfer of powers to provincial governments.It suggested money used to run health care and other social programs \u2014 about $24 billion this year \u2014 be shifted to the provinces A reformed, elected Senate called the House of the Federation was also part of their suggested package of constitutional reform as was the recognition of natives\u2019 right to self- government.Mulroney and Constitutional Affairs Minister Joe Clark praised the report without embracing any of its specific recommendations.But Segal said the report would have no special weight in the prime minister's office.\u201cI view the report of the Group of 22 with no greater interest in my present role than I view any of the other submissions that have been made to the joint committee.It has no special status and nor should it.\u201d Mulroney already has a team of high-powered officials, headed by Clark, working on the national unity issue.Segal pointedly said the top public servant on the file is Paul Tellier, clerk of the Privy Council.Jocelyne Bourgon, secretary to the cabinet for federal-provincial relations, is also a strong influence on the development of a new Constitution.With Segal preoccupied with trying to rebuild the battered image of the prime minister and the Progressive Conservatives, it would seem that there wouldn't be much time for him to spend on the unity issue.That would be an incorrect assumption, said Spector.Answers to frequent questions on meningitis OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Meningitis deaths have received much media attention in recent weeks.Here are some answers to frequent questions on the disease: \u2014WHAT HAS HAPPENED?A number of people have died from meningococcal infections which lead to either meningitis, a swelling of tissues lining the brain and spinal chord, or meningococcemia, which is blood poisoning.\u2014IS THIS UNUSUAL?Yes and no.There western Quebec where five people, including an unusually high number of teenagers \u2014 four \u2014 died in the short space of four weeks.But health officials say the overall number of cases reported is about the same as normal and there is no epidemic.\u2014SHOULD YOU WORRY?No, experts say, unless you have been in contact with someone who has the disease.When a victim is discovered, public health officials try to innoculate all people who have had contact with the person and often organize immunization clinics.\u2014WHAT IS AT WORK?Bacterial meningitis \u2014 as opposed to the relatively benign form of the disease caused by a virus.About 400 cases of bacterial meningitis occur annually in Canada.About one in 10 cases results in death, even if treated with antibiotics.\u2014HOW IS IT SPREAD?It can spread much as a cold moves from one person to another \u2014 sneezing, kissing, drinking from someone else's cup, sharing a cigarette.Bacteria enter the nose, then move into the spinal fluid and brain.\u2014WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?Meningitis starts suddenly with fever, headache, nausea and vomiting; the patient rapidly becomes lethargic, confused and comatose.Victims can die within a few days if not treated.Meningococcemia usually starts with high fever.Patients may develop a reddish rash.Victims go from feeling fine to very sick in hours and can die within a day.\u2014WHAT ARE THE RISKS?Low.Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people carry the bacteria, for every one who gets sick.\u2014SHOULD YOU TAKE PRECAUTIONS?No more than normal, unless you will knowingly be in contact with someone with the disease.Mass immunization is not advised because the infection is so rare and supplies of the vaccine are limited.LONG-DISTANCE CALL The world\u2019s

young women \u201cwith beautiful breasts\u201d to try out for a lucrative career as strip-tease artists.But there it was, in several Moscow papers last week, placed by the Aphrodite Academy of Strip Tease.The academy claims that its graduates will go on to work in western countries for as much as $150 US a day \u2014 an enormous sum in the former Soviet Union, where the average income now is equivalent to $9 a month.\u201cI have visited schools like this in foreign countries, and that's how I got the idea,\u201d says Aphrodite's manager, Alla Kirmusova, a 35-year-old former ballerina.\u201cI know it's going to work well here, because living standards are very poor.This is going to be an te to improved care of patients on earth.\u201cWe cannot do it on earth because we cannot mimic zero gravity for long enough,\u201d Dr.Roy Pres- haw explained at a news conference Wednesday.\u201cWhat we want to know is the effect on man, not rats, but man, in space, for long periods.And this is the first chance we have to do it.\u201d Preshaw, a professor of surgery, said it is important to determine what effect weightlessness has on the human body.\u201cIf we're sending

and Kirmusova angrily shooed them away.\u201cWe have no troubles with the new authorities, and we don\u2019t want any,\u201d she says.\u201cThe only rule we must obey is they can\u2019t be under 18.\u201d BLONDE FITS BILL One who fit the bill was Lyudmil- la Vlasenko, a 22-year-old blonde with large brown eyes and a quick smile.\u201cThis is my dream,\u201d she said.\u201cIt's what I want to do.\u201d Vlasenko is married, but insists that \u201cmy husband is totally behind me on this.He wants me to be happy.\u201d Her husband was not in evidence.But her manager, a dark, heavyset man who gave his name as Genva.said: \u201cLyudmilla will go inches and muscle atrophy.Some Soviet cosmonauts were unable to walk after prolonged periods in space.Jayne Thirsk, manager of nutrition at the university's Foothills Hospital, says some of the space experiments \u2014 such as those involving the heart and nervous system \u2014 will have medical applications for earthlings.\u201c(They) will have ramifications for people suffering from various diseases here on earth.Control of motion sickness can certainly be applied to situations here on earth.\u201d The Canadian experiment on energy use is simple to conduct.Two astronauts will be asked to drink water containing some stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen.Isotopes are forms of the elements which have heavier atomic weights.\u2018From Russia with no clothes far in this business.She has magic.\u201d Lyudmilla\u2019s magic was soon displayed.One of Kirmusova's rules is that applicants must disrobe immediately and stand while she scrutinizes them in the cold public gymnasium of the recreation centre.\u201cIf they express any reluctance to undress in front of strange men, I ask them why they bothered coming here at all?That's what the business is about.\u201d Olga Markovskaya, a tall slender blonde who attends Grade 11, arrived in the company of her mother.She quickly shed her overcoat, showing nothing but panties underneath, and paced in front of Kirmu- sova.\u201cI'm 17, but please write that l\u2019m 18,\u201d she said later, with her coat back on her shoulders.\u201cI really want to do this.\u201d Her mother, Albina, a 40-year- old waitress, nodded.As the astronauts metabolize their food and go about their duties, the heavier isotopes will be displaced by water and carbon dioxide.\u201cSo by tracking the declines we actually get a measure of each subject's carbon dioxide production and that is classically used as an indicator of energy expenditure,\u201d Thirsk explained.About half a dozen urine samples from each participant will be taken back to Calgary where physics professor Roy Krouse will measure the isotope levels using a machine called a mass spectrometer.The readings, coupled with dietary diaries kept by the astronauts, will help pin down body changes and energy spent in orbit.Other Canadian experiments aboard the shuttle will include studies into inner-ear

him.\u201d Kirmusova insists she enjoys training young women to dance and strip with \u201cseductive movements.\u201d After a two-month course in her academy, she claims they will be \u201cfully professional.\u201d One class of 28 Russian women has already graduated from the Aphrodite Academy.\u201cThe whole class is now working in Germany,\u201d says Kirmu- sova.\u201cThey are getting $120 a day, and I take 15 per cent of that.\u201cIt's a business, and business is good.\u201d Did you know that.Masse packs business trip with pleasure OTTAWA (CP) - More than half of a 21-day tour of the Middle East by Defence Minister Marcel Masse is taken up with sightseeing and private activities, according to an itinerary released by his office.The minister, criticized in the past for his penchant for unnecessary travel, has packed his itinerary with visits to historic sites, muscums and the symphony.Only six days are being spent with Cana: da\u2019's 354 peacekeeping troops, the announced purpose of the trip.Official business occupies less than half the three weeks in Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Egypt.Masse, a ministerial aide and three senior military officers arrived in Kuwait Dec.30 and are not due back in Canada until Jan.19.A senior aide to the minister defended the length of the trip and the visits to tourist attractions.\u201cThe minister's not there to travel for himself,\u201d said scheduling assistant Marie Bender.\u201cHe's there for his country, for the department.He\u2019s not there to do sightseeing at all.\u201d But when Masse was in Jordan for three days earlier this week, his schedule called for a single 90-mi- nute meeting with the country\u2019s prime minister.The rest of his stay was given over to trips sightseeing at the city of Petra, an ancient fortress set in a canyon, and Mount Nebo, known for its panoramic view of the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea.Masse moved on to Israel on Wednesday, a day where nothing but a short flight to Tel Aviv by military plane was scheduled.A military officer accompanying Masse and who asked not to be named said the excursions to archeological sites are necessary for Masse to understand the complex, centuries-old cultures in the region.By understanding this culture, he said, Masse can better comprehend why the Middle East is such a political hotbed.Several days on the trip are occupied with visits to Canadian peacekeepers on the Golan Heights between Syria and Israel, in the Sinai on the Egyptian-Israeli border and in Kuwait.The final two days of his tour schedules Masse to be in Cairo.

RECORD\u2014Tharsday.January 9.1908\u20145 Record Farm groups can\u2019t agree on GATT proposals By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The federal government isn\u2019t getting much help from farm groups in deciding whether to support proposals for bringing order to the chaotic world trade in agricultural and food products.The government is supposed to tell the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade next Monday in Geneva what changes it would like to a list of proposals released before Christmas.But farm groups can\u2019t agree among themselves.There's also no agreement among the provinces about what stand Ottawa should take.Ottawa wants better protection for its marketing boards as well as big reductions in farm production and export subsidies and fewer border restrictions on agriculture and food products.World prices for grains and oilseeds have been flattened in recent years by a subsidies battle between the United States and the European Community.Trade Minister Michael Wilson and Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight will discuss the proposals with 30 representatives of farm and food-processing groups today.Spokesmen for dairy, egg and poultry producers are expected to say the proposals fall far short of Canada\u2019s demand for better protection for its marketing boards.GOOD START But groups representing livestock and grain farmers, who count on exports for a big chunk of their income, think the proposals are a good start toward a set of comprehensive rules limiting subsidies and import barriers on farm and food products.Food processors also support the basic thrust of the proposals from Arthur Dunkel, the director-general of the GATT.They want lower prices for dairy and poultry products so they can compete against United States processors.They also want trade rules that will sweep away many of the barriers to their products in other countries.Alberta Agriculture Minister Rise predicted in used car cross By Rob Carrick TORONTO (CP) \u2014 An auto industry analyst is predicting a surge in cross-border shopping for used cars that could siphon business from Canadian dealers and ultimately shrink the country\u2019s auto industry.Under the Canada-U.S.free trade agreement, the duty and age restrictions on bringing North American-built vehicles into Canada from the United States have gradually been easing.As of Jan.1, age limits changed to allow vehicles two years old or more to enter Canada.Last year, they had to be at least four years old.Transport Canada figures show that between 80,000 and 100,000 used vehicles were privately imported from the United States in 1990.Figures for 1991 are not yet available.Before the trade deal came into effect in 1989, however, imports generally amounted to 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles annually, said Claude Roy, the department's acting chief of importations in Ottawa.Analyst Dennis DesRosiers said easing import restrictions will add used cars to an increasing number of cross-border shopping lists this year and next.\u201cThe beginnings of it will surface this year in a big way,\u201d DesRosiers, president of DesRo- siers Automotive Consultants in Toronto, said in an interview.\u201cNow we're dealing with the largest dollar consumable item that you cross-border shop.\u201d PRICES LOWER DesRosiers and other car industry figures said the chief attractions of American used cars are lower prices on expensive luxury models, and the number that have never seen road salt.Next year, age restrictions on U.S.imports disappear, while duty declines to zero by 1998.But DesRosiers said even a ready supply of two-year-old vehicles poses a threat to new car dealers in Canada, just off their worst year since 1983.\u201cVehicles two years old can be a substitute for new cars,\u201d he said.Car dealers, manufacturers, Ottawa and the Quebec and Ontario governments have funded a $150,000 study that is looking at the competitiveness of the car business in Canada versus the United States.The study is trying to find out why not only new and used cars, but also parts and service, can be Ernie Isley says the GATT proposals are a good first step to boosting farm commodity prices to levels that would enable farmers to earn a living without government aid.But Ontario Agriculture Minister Elmer Buchanan isn't satisfied.He says Ottawa must insist on protection for marketing boards and get bigger cuts in European Community and United States farm subsidies.The marketing boards say Dunkel\u2019s proposals would create cheaper in the United States, said Kenneth Graydon of the Federation of Automobile Dealer Associations of Canada.CARS FLOW IN Graydon, the federation\u2019s executive vice-president, said the freer flow of used cars into Canada \u201cwon't help dealers, but the sheer magnitude of the hurt is speculation.\u201d He also said the Canadian dollar must be worth at about 88 cents US or more for price savings on some U.S.models to be apparent.The dollar has recently traded around 87.50 cents US and traded well above a bieak future for many of the country\u2019s 50,000 dairy, egg and poultry producers.The proposals would replace the import controls the boards now enjoy with a system of tariffs which would gradually be reduced to zero.Food processors, however, say that protection is saddling them with higher prices for poultry and dairy products than their U.S.competitors.Without changes, many Canadian food companies will be forced out of business.-border shopping 88 cents at times last year.DesRosiers said cross-border shopping of used cars may have ramifications beyond the new car business.\u201cUltimately, it undermines the entire auto pact,\u201d he said.Safeguards in the 27-year-old pact require GM, Ford and Chrysler to build a car in Canada for each one they sell here, DesRosiers explained.\u201cWell, if consumers are shopping in Buffalo (N.Y.), then the car companies are not selling the cars in Canada,\u201d he said.That, in turn, could mean less vehicle production in Canada.MPs opposed to Ottawa inflation-fighting plan By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 MPs from all three major parties have concluded Ottawa should scrap a constitutional proposal to toughen the Bank of Canada\u2019s inflation-fighting powers.An offshoot of the Commons finance committee resumes special hearings next week with testimony from Bank of Canada governor John Crow and central bankers from other countries.\u2018 But a consensus has already emerged among the MPs that one suggestion from Ottawa \u2014 National By Kathryn Young OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Those who never liked the 1982 Canadian Constitution can rest assured \u2014 it won't last forever.And it has nothing to do with the current round of constitutional negotiations.On a rainy day in April 1982, Queen Elizabeth signed a document printed on acid paper.Eventually it will yellow, crumble and turn to dust.Jan Michaels, preservation coordinator at the National Library, said virtually all Canadian books published between 1860 change the Bank of Canada Act to make inflation-fighting the primary goal of the central bank \u2014 should be dumped.\u201cWhat witnesses who lave been before us have not generally been enthusiastic,\u201d said Liberal MP John Manley, who has been leading the special sessions.NDP finance critic Steve Langdon said narrowing the bank\u2019s

already disintegrated.The library wants to change that.Michaels is in charge of a campaign to persuade paper- makers, printers and book publishers to use permanent paper \u2014 an improved form of acid-free paper expected to last 500 years or more.About 93 per cent of the National Library's 11-million-item collection is acidic.A program to microfilm all pre-1900 Canadian dccuments costs $60 to $100 per New system saves By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 At least three of Canada's banks have found a new way to save money \u2014 for themselves, not their customers.The Bank of Montreal, the Royal Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce have all bought a state-of-the-art computer system which makes it easier \u2014 and cheaper \u2014 to process credit-card slips and bank statements.It reproduces, or \u201cimages,\u201d the slips on to computer discs.As a result, computer operators at the banks\u2019 data-processing centres can read the information faster and more accurately.\u201cThis computer system will cost us about $3 million and should increase our productivity in the processing of credit-card slips by about one-third,\u201d Burton McConnell, a Bank of Montreal vice-president for Eastern Cana- Computers join tractors GUELPH, Ont.(CP) \u2014 Computers are fast becoming an important piece of farm machinery, says an office automation expert.About 12 per cent of farmers now have computers on their farms, said Barry Billings of Office Automation Solutions in Guelph.Research by the University of Guelph in 1989 showed that out of 2,000 farmers contacted, 57 da, said Wednesday.\u201cBanks have to be concerned about productivity \u2014 even though we're doing fairly well.We've been using a manual reading system for the past 15 years and this computer imaging process will allow us to stay ahead of the game.\u201d His bank handles more than six million MasterCard sales slips each month at a national processing centre located in Montreal.Over 200 people work in three shifts around the clock to process the slips within 24 hours.That information is passed to another computer system which bills customers and places the billed

Besides reducing costs for bookkeeping which can run as OPPOSES MEASURE Conservative MP Don Blen- karn, former finance committee chairman, has joined Opposition critics of the measure.Other.Tories, including Murray Dorin, have distanced themselves.Dorin, chairman of the overall finance committee, agrees with Crow's campaign of price stability, designed to wrestle inflation to the ground.But he says he doesn\u2019t believe the Bank of Canada Act needs to be changed.\u201cThere is no question in my mind that the price stability volume.And another program to de-acidify books, costing about about $8 per volume, can only handle about 150,000 books a year.\u201cThat's just a drop in the bucket,\u201d Michaels said in an interview.\u201cIf we can convince all publishers in Canada to use permanent paper for their publications then we don\u2019t have to worry about the future and we can try to preserve the past.\u201d CHANGE WAYS The federal government \u2014 objective is clearly the right one,\u201d Dorin said in an interview this week.\u201cBut one can ask if there is any real reason for changing the act.\u201d The committee hopes to issue a report on constitutional proposals dealing with the central bank next month.For the last 60 years the Bank of Canada has operated under a wide mandate to manage \u201cfluctuations in the general level of production, trade, prices and employment.\u201d one of the largest publishers in Canada \u2014 is set to announce next week that all government documents destined for the archives, such as annual reports and cabinet memos, will be printed on permanent paper.The library's campaign is now focused on paper-makers.Michaels doesn\u2019t plan to repeat earlier mistakes when people were simply told Canada\u2019s heritage must be preserved.\u201cIf we want to achieve change, vue change has to be argued on economic reasons,\u201d Michaels said.\u201cThat's the new cash \u2014 for banks ling of credit card receipts.However, he admits it won't save customers any money.\u201cThe customer won't notre any change in his credit-card bills.There might be a slight improvement in the error rate, but that was already pretty small with the old manual system \u201cIt won't lower interest rates because those decisions are made by the credit department rather than the computer department.\u201d McConnell said the new system will mean 40 fewer jobs for the 200 non-unionized people \u2014 mostly women \u2014 who process the slips.Displaced workers have been given other positions in the bank.Employees who use the new process say it makes their jobe easier.\u201cWe used to get these stacks of credit-card slips and had to look at the scribbled writing for hours on end,\u201d said Sylvie Bas- tien, 29.\u201cNow that they're in the computer, we just punch them up on a screen and they're ten times larger.Life becomes simpler when you can read the names and amounts.\u201d The system is called Image- First and was developed by Banctec Inc.of Dallas, Tex.Beth Lubert, Banctec\u2019's marketing director in New York City, said her company has already sold the system to two banks in Australia, one in England and three in Canada.\u201cMontreal and the Royal are using it for credit card slips and we've developed a system for the CIBC to facilitate bank statements,\u201d she said.Lubert also said IBM is developing a similar system called ImagePlus, but \u201cit's not ready yet.\u201d as farm equipment high as $1,000 to $3,000 a year, computers can also be used to keep production records, he said.Working in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Billings\u2019 firm holds seminars to train farmers in basic and advanced computer skills and accounting techniques.Billings says in 1990-91, 1,200 farmers in central, eastern and southwestern Ontario took computer training courses.ARMSTRONG, B.C.(CP) \u2014 An Okanagan cheese plant has again proved it makes the best cheddar cheese in the country.Armstrong Cheese of Armstrong, a co-operative owned by farmers shipping to Dairyland, took five of six awards for cheddar cheese at the British Empire Dairy Show in Belleville, Ont.BROAD MANDATE That means the governor is legally obliged to worry about everything from inflation and currency strength to exports and employment.In last fall's constitutional proposals dealing with the economy, Ottawa proposed amending the legislation \u201cto make it clear that the mandate of the bank is to achieve and preserve price stability.\u201d This change would, in effect, officially sanction the stance of Crow, who has taken a much harder line against inflation game we're beginning to play.\u201d The library argues that permanent paper is cheaper to make, is kinder to paper-making machinery, and that the U.S.market, to which Canadian paper-makers export about half of fine paper grades, is demanding more and more permanent paper.The Canadian Pulp and Paper Association acknowledges those arguments and is moving in the direction of permanent paper anyhow to meet market demands, said Robert Wood, the than his predecessor, Gerald Bouey.Critics claim Crow has battled inflation at the expense of the overall economy.The committee will hear witnesses from the central bank\u2019s American counterpart \u2014 the U.S.Federal Reserve Board \u2014 which takes a collective approach to setting policy rather than relying on the views of one person.\u201cWe seem to have a policy that is formed by one individual sitting in his ivory tower in Ottawa,\u201d Manley said.Library heads push toward \u2018permanent\u2019 paper association's director of printing, writing and sanitary papers.\u201cIf the printers and publishers want it, the companies will produce it,\u201d Wood said.About 62 per cent of the fine paper produced in Canada for book printing is acid-free, and by the end of this year the figure will rise to 83 per cent as more paper mills set up the necessary machinery, Wood said.However he couldn't say how much of the acid-free paper would meet permanent paper standards.expensive.are therefore lower.hing, mostly to the U.S.Some economic arguments OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The National Library is lobbying paper- makers to produce more permanent paper, a higher form of acid- free paper that meets specific chemical standards.Here are some of the economic arguments in favor of permanent paper: \u2014Permanent paper is cheaper to make.It uses less wood, and the filler material, which makes it smooth and white, is far less \u2014There is some evidence permanent paper is kinder to machinery \u2014 it's less corrosive since it\u2019s acid-free.Maintenance costs \u2014The U.S.federal and about 14 state governments have laws requiring their documents to be on permanent paper, so American demand is high.If Canadian paper-makers want to supply the demand, they'll have to produce more permanent paper.They now export about half of fine-paper grades produced for book publis- \u2014The cost of converting one paper-making machine from acid to alkaline is about $2 million, including lost production time and staff

sell, woman asks OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 YTV, the youth channel, is an indisputable success story, making more money and attracting bigger audiences than it believed possible when it began five years ago.So how about OTV, the old channel?That may not be the name, but programming for people over age 50 is the concept behind one of two new licence applications YTV is preparing.The company thinks the Canadian Radio- television and Telecommunications Commission will be testing the waters for new specialty channels before the year is out.\u201cWe're absolutely convinced that the CRTC will call for a new round of licence applications this fall,\u201d YTV president Kevin Shea said from Toronto this week.Shea said YTV, whose owners include cable companies Rogers Communications and CUC Ltd., is working on an application for a third service as well, but declined to give details.Shea says a channel aimed at an older audience would be unique to North America.Down the road it may be possible to market the Canadian service to U.S.cable companies.The channel would carry programming such as talk shows featuring 60-plus hosts, travel shows, and programs on personal finance, says Shea.At a broadcast summit in Montreal last month, creation of more Canadian specialty channels was proposed as one way the industry could compete with services offered by a powerful new generation of U.S.TV satellites.The satellites \u2014 dubbed deathstars \u2014 are expected to arrive in the next two years.However, Communications Minister Perrin Beatty issued a note of caution at the summit.Responding to concerns that immediate expansion of specialty channels would hurt existing stations and networks, he asked the CRTC to use \u201cextreme caution\u201d in licensing new services for the next three years.But given the time it takes to get a service up and running, the industry can\u2019t wait three years to consider new channels, applicants say.Nor do they want the programming niches they've Body Shop queen bites hand By Wendy McCann TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Some analysts say her chain of eco- conscious cosmetics stores has made Anita Roddick one of the richest women in England.But the 49-year-old founder of the Body Shop despises the beauty industry.The opening line of Roddick's autobiographical account of how the retail chain mushroomed from a single store to 600 outlets is an unabashed condemnation of the industry that supports her.\u201cI hate the beauty business,\u201d she writes in Body and Soul, her recently released autobiography.\u201cIt is a monster industry selling unattainable dreams.It lies.It cheats.It exploits women.\u201d \u201cLook,\u201d she says matter-of- factly over a pot of herbal tea ata Toronto hotel on a tour promoting her book.\u201cBeauty products do nothing more than cleanse, moisturize and polish.Anything that promises more than that is a lie.\u201d The Body Shop guru takes every opportunity to pitch her all-natural products \u2014 a dab of banana putty adds volume to the hair, peppermint cream soothes aching feet, while Moroccan mud cleanses grimy skin, she says.Because the products are environmentally friendly, Rod- dick recieved a United Nations award for environmental achievement in 1989.But, for Roddick, Body Shop beauty creams are simply a means to an end.RETURNS PROFITS Roddick returns some Body Shop profits to poor countries through product development.She travels around the world searching for beauty care rituals she can sell while pumping money directly into the hands of the poor.What's more, Roddick uses her shops to further her passionate environmentalism with campagns to save the whales, protect Brazil's rain forest and end repression of political dissidents.Her products are sold in refillable plastic bottles marked with hand-written adhesive labels.The defiantly plain packaging allows the Body Shop to keep prices well below those of costme- tics giants such as Estee Lauder, Shiseido, and L'Oreal.\u201cWe happily filled old lemonade bottles with our products if a customer asked.\u201d The former school teacher knows not every business decision was wise.In 1976, she sold half the company for the equivalent of $8,000 to raise money to open a second shop.The silent investor \u2014 who is not involved in running the Body Shop and hasn't even had a conversation with Roddick in identified filled by someone else while they're waiting.Shea said that if the CRTC does license new channels, it will have to widen the limited options of cable subscribers at the same time.Specialty channels such as YTV will have to consider allowing themselves to be removed from basic-cable service, so that cable companies have more flexibility to package groups of channels that viewers may want to watch.\u201cYou can\u2019t just continually add more to the basic-cable system,\u201d Shea said.Currently two Canadian specialty channels \u2014 The Sports Network and MuchMusic \u2014 can be either a basic-cable service or a discretionary service.that feeds eight years \u2014 is now worth more than $280 million.\u201cI don\u2019t think it was a mistake,\u201d she says.\u201cAt the time nobody else was going to give me the money.He was the only one who helped.I think it was a bloody good move.\u201d But despite her irreverent approach, Roddick\u2019s sales savvy is the toast of business.\u201cThis woman has changed business forever,\u201d wrote the American magazine Inc.And Harvard Business School has been dogging her (without success) for a chance to document The Body Shop's success in one of its case studies.And why not?The Body Shop is today a global business with more than 600 shops in 40 countries.Annual sales from the company\u2019s 85 Canadian stories exceed $60 million and have increased as much as 38 per cent per store each year.The product that sticks to its promises By Catherine Dressler PORTERSVILLE, Pa.(AP) \u2014 William Adams says his suction cups will stick stubbornly to just about any clean, smooth surface, including his bald head.As the president of Adams Manufacturing Co., which makes 50 million suction cups a year, Adams has tested the devices on many kinds of surfaces.Apparently, he's not alone.At trade shows, Adams says he has observed other bald people fulfilling \u201ca deep-seated desire\u201d by slapping a suction cup on their head.The company, based in the small town of Portersville about 50 kilometres north of Pittsburgh, has a fat file of letters from customers who have come up with other off-the-wall uses.One man screwed suction cups onto ice cube trays and stuck them on top of his cramped freezer compartment.He patented that design.Another man whose wife couldnt stand it when he forgot to put the toilet seat down turned to suction cups for help.\u201cHe rigged up a contraption that would drop the toilet seat after a minute and a half,\u201d Adams said.\u201cIt may not have commercial possibilities, but it Songs of By Jerry Nachtigal SPRINGFIELD, Mo.(AP) \u2014 Judy Domeny sings and plays her acoustic guitar for audiences of all ages, but her music means the most to the silver-haired crowd.Domeny is an aficionado of old folk songs.She's particularly fond of those sung by the Scottish and Irish pioneers who came largely from Appalachia to settle in the Ozark Mountains in the early 1800s.\u201cMy best audience is 60 years and up,\u201d Domeny said during a break at the Ozark Empire Fair, where she performed.\u201cThat's my crowd.These songs really mean so much to them.\u201d Domeny, who teaches art at an elementary school, says children enjoy her ballads about fair maidens, princes and castles.But it's senior citizens who grew up in the Ozarks who are her biggest fans.was a good idea.\u201d Adams Manufacturing makes suction cups of varying sizes with hooks, clips, rings, clamps, tacks nr screws attached.The company, the leading suction cup manufacturer in the United States, employs about 150 people during peak production.Annual sales total $6 million US to $10 million US, Adams says.COMMON USES The pliable, clear cups are commonly used to hang stained glass, thermometers, bird feeders, signs or stuffed animals in windows.The company\u2019s most successful line is for Christmas decorations, such as lights, wreaths and stockings.Business was booming several years ago, when the fad of hanging Baby on Board signs in cars swept the nation.\u201cThat was a wonderful craze,\u201d Adams says.\u201cWe wish there would be more crazes like that.\u201d Steve Stadelmeier, an industrial designer at Carnegie Mellon University, agrees the portable vacuum is a handy device for dealing with \u201cthe mundane aspects\u201d of life, but he says there fairytales \u201cSo many times they say, \u2018Oh, you made me think of my mother, or an old schoolteacher of mine, or when I was a kid,\u201d Domeny said.\u201cIt conjures up so many memories.\u201d Domeny, 30, who grew up in the Ozarks, said her love of folk songs from the hills began in the sixth grade.During a visit to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home and Museum, she picked up a book of the songs and became enchanted with the lyrics.DOES RESEARCH She's been researching and singing those songs as a hobby ever since.\u201cI've sung just about everywhere you can imagine libraries, nursing homes, conventions, festivals and concerts, birthday parties,\u201d Domeny said.She estimates she has 200 folk songs in her repertoire, including The Mistletoe Bough, which dates to 11th century England.are some products that just won't ever be taken too seriously.\u201cIt\u2019s like splat, and this thing sticks to you,\u201d he says.\u201cNobody would laugh if you shot an arrow at somebody, but they laugh at a suction cup.\u201d But suction cups were no laughing matter in the 1600s, when physicians used glass bell- shaped cups with metal syringes instead of leeches in bloodletting.The practice, called cupping, continued in the 19th century when hard rubber was used in the devices, says Robert Friedel, a University of Maryland history professor who has studied the development of rubber and plastics.Suction cups developed along with rubber and plastics in the 20th century.In the 1940s, white or black rubber cups were used on rooftop luggage carriers for automobiles and as shock absorbers in World War II airplanes.MADE IMPROVEMENTS Vinyl and silicone rubber moved into the consumer market in the 1960s, allowing manufacturers to make clear cups with more staying power.Adams has patented several design improvements, including a pull tab that makes removal easier.He has tried unsuccessfully to develop a suction cup that would stick to wood.\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a pipe dream,\u201d he says.\u201cIt\u2019s something we know we can't do but we don\u2019t want to give up on it.\u201d Adams talks about suction cups with the fervor of an engineer or physicist, but he has mo technical training.He quit his job as a children\u2019s librarian in Pittsburgh in the late 1970s and spent about $5,000 US he had inherited on developing plastic insulation that would be attached to windows by suction cups with tacks.The idea didn't sell, and he was stuck with unpaid bills and thousands of boxes of suction cups.One day, he pulled into a gas station, and it hit him.\u201cThere were dozens of -igns taped in the window witn duct tape,\u201d he said.\u2018I told the owner, \u2018If you had these suction cups with the thumb tacks, you could hang up your signs and you wouldn\u2019t have any tape to scrape off the window.\u201d The owner bought two boxes, and the seeds of Adams Manufacturing were planted.attract older crowd It's a sad \u2014 and, according to Domeny, true \u2014 tale of a bride who accidentally locks herself in a trunk on her wedding day and isn't found until years later.\u201cSome are silly, some are funny.I kind of specialize in sad songs, some nf which are murder ballads,\u201d she said.Longtime fan Jenny Ladd first heard Domeny at a music festival at the Silver Dollar City theme park about 13 years ago.Domeny has released two records, and Ladd treasures them both.\u201cHer voice was and still is Just as clear and pure as can be,\u201d she said.\u201cWith folk music, you need to understand every word said to understand the story.| Just think she is very talented.\u201d EARLY SETTLERS Music was important to the carly settlers who scratched out a living among the rocky soils and steep hillsides of the Ozarks.said Bill McNeil, a folklorist at the Ozark Folk Centre in Mountain View, Ark.\u201cIt was a time when you had to make your own entertainment more or less,\u201d McNeil said.\u201cUnless you were in a larger city, there wasn't much professional entertainment around so people entertained themselves.\u201d Even today, neighbors in the more remote areas of the Ozarks sometimes get together for jam sessions in homes or in the town square, with fiddles, banjoes and guitars, plus a little singing and dancing.McNeil said Domeny and other folk singers perform a service by keeping old Ozark folk songs in circulation for a new generation.Domeny says she's happy to do it.\u201cI think it's important to kcep the music alive, to keep part of the past alive,\u201d she said.\u201cYou're keeping part of the pioneers alive, really.\u201d Dear Ann Landers: About onc month after my child started kindergarten, the students were given packets issued by the PTA containing a catalog of gifts and an order form.Each child was supposed to sell these items to family and friends.Also enclosed in the packet was à list of knickknacks designed to reward higher sales - the more the child sells, the better the quality of the knickknack.An element of peer pressure also is exerted - the class with the most sales gets a party as a reward.Neediess to say, the parents must foist this junk on family and friends.I's even worse when a parent happens 10 be the boss.as well.The subordinates arc subtly forced to buy, or else.When I went to school, these sales were unheard of.Now each year the families of these students have to shell out hard-camed money to some grecdy organization.Friends in other states tell me of similar practices in their school districts.Ann, will you please contact the national headquarters of the PTA to ask why this racket is necessary?Maybe it will give an answer that will make us ali proud of the PTA.Thanks.- PUT-UPON PARENT IN N.Y.DEAR PARENT: My office spoke with Tari Marshall, director of communications at the national PTA, who said the PTA is a child advocacy association that provides for the educational needs of children in cooperation with local schools.It does not encourage using children for fund-raising, but any money raised by local chapters goes back into the school or is used for community programs and parent- child education.No school should hold each student responsible for his or

therapy\u201d might encourage their son to utter his first words.Patricia Searle said her son Charles will make the trip to the Dolphin Research Centre in the Florida Keys in August for the treatment,

breakthrough.\u201cHe would never sort of concentrate for very long.But out there the dolphins held his concentration for quite awhile and he would actually say a word.When he actually said \u2018ice cream\u2019 and \u2018Pepsi Cola\u2019 it was unbelievable.The treatment involves about 15 lessons over a three-week period and costs $2,800 Cdn.Searle said her son was a normal 11-month-old baby until he was given a vaccine for whooping cough.Two weeks after the vaccination, he began having epileptic seizures that led to brain damage, she said.Dr.Horace Dobbs of Britain's International Dolphin Watch said dolphin swimming therapy has been around for about seven years.\u201cNobody really knows why it works at the moment.It as if there is some kind of communication that takes place.\u201d Woman is no longer scared to fight back RED DEER, Alta.(CP) \u2014 Ingrid Catellier was too terrified to fight back when she was threatened with death and put in a headlock for rejecting a stranger's advances.\u201cIt was a totally defenceless feeling,\u201d recalls the 33-year-old nurse, who in 1989 unnerved her angry attacker by bursting into tears in the middle of a local tavern, The tears may have saved her, but Catellier said she was pleased to have learned more aggressive options at a recent psychologically oriented self-defence class.She could now kick her assailant in the groin, jab him in the eye, or take a more cerebral approach \u2014 perhaps surprising him by pretending to back down before attacking like a screaming banshee.\u201cI definitely wouldn't be as helpless,\u201d she said.The class was taught by A- Step, a Michigan-based self- defence program that teaches empowerment through a variety of strategies.Life Shorts Students practice their punching, kicking and gouging moves on an instructor who wears a padded 3.15-kilogram costume, Robert Williams, who co- founded the course after a two- year study of assailants and their victims, discovered the survivors generally believed that they would prevail.Any type of \u201cmental gymnastics\u201d that increase confidence and give the victim an edge are encouraged, said Williams, who added that reactions to an attack should be based on a conscious cvaluation of the attacker. The RECORD\u2014 Thursday.January 9.1992\u20147 Memorial and reconciliation service commemorates 50th anniversary of the fall of Hong Kong By Nina Rowell BURY \u2014 A large congregation attended a most impressive memorial and reconciliation service at St.Paul\u2019s Anglican Church, Bury, on Sunday, December 29 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the fall of Hong Kong.The service included the administration of Holy Communion conducted by the Rev.Blair Ross, rector of Victoria Parish.The large parade of veterans and Legion members from the surrounding area was under the direction of Parade Marshall Robert Harper.George Smiley and Archie Cairns acted as flag bearers.Following the processional hymn, a welcome was extended by the Rev.Ross, followed by the singing of O Canada and God Save the Queen, and the trooping of the colours; - the Canadian and Fleur de Lys flags were placed on the altar.Ladies Auxiliary Legion Branch 10 hold meeting SHERBROOKE \u2014 On Sunday December 15th the Ladies Auxiliary of Legion Branch 10 in Sherbroke met at the Legion for their last general meeting of the year.The meeting was opened by the President Reta Morin.1st Vice Fern Fraser read the roll call with 20 members responding.Secretary Jessie Moore read the minutes of the last general meeting and executive meetings those were approved.There was also a few correspondence and thank you notes read and also a donation from a member of the Auxiliary.Birthday greetings go out to Eileen Richards.Reports were read from some of the different Committees.Reta Morin thanked all the girls who helped in any way for our fall supper, she also mentioned that the success of it was due to all of your hard work.She also thanked all her executive and members who had supported her during the past six months of this year.Coming events: January 11th will be the Installation of new officers for 1992 at 8 p.m.New business: Ladies Auxiliary to present a donation to Senior Branch during the supper hour.It was also decided that seeing this was the last general meeting of the year that the ladies attending meeting would be paid a drink before supper.After the business discussion of the meeting, the president called on Comrade Adelard Dubois to come in to take over for the elections of the new executive.He was assisted by two scrutineers, Martha Lafleur and Margaret Tossell.Here is a list of the new executive for 1992.Past President - Reta Morin President - Fern Fraser Readings were by Lionel Hurd, - Old Testament 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26, George Pinchin, past District Commander - Epistle, Colossians 3:12-17, Sam Harbin- son,- Gradual Psalm 111, and the Gospel Luke 2:41-52 by the Rev.Ross.A brief history of the Royal Rifles of Canada was read by Captain Lionel Hurd, and the lists of fallen and deceased comrades were read by Jodie and Robin Coleman, granddaughters of the late Ralph Coleman, Hong Kong POW.Another of his grandchildren, Michael Coleman acted as crucifer and server.The Last Post and Reveille were sounded by the Rev.Ross, with a brief silence in between.The recessional hymn was The First Nowell.History of the Royal Rifles of Canada as told by Captain E.L.Hurd \u201cMuch of what I will relate are from the books by Mr.Arthur 1st Vice-President - Margaret Smith 2nd Vice-President - Betty Patry Treasurer - Violet McNab Secretary - Jessie Moore Sgt.-at-Arms - Marie Morin.Directors - Rene Carrier, Beatrice Bolduc, Jean Thorne.Adelard then wished the new executive all the best for the coming year.He was thanked in return by the President of the Auxiliary.After the meeting was closed the ladies went upstairs to the lounge where an exchange of gifts took place and of course there was the usual visit from G.Penny of Quebec City and Mr.Grant Garneau formerly of Sawyerville, now with the New Brunswick Government in Fredericton, N.B.Also to Bishop's University for giving me permission to use the Garneau thesis.\u201cThe cap badge for the regiment 1s based upon the Maltese Cross surrounded by a wreath and topped by a royal crown.The Latin motto is, \u201cVolens et Vaend\u201d, (\u201cAble and Willing\u201d).The colours are red and green.\u201cSome time after the fall of Quebec, one of General Wolfe's officers, Sir Guy Carlton, Lord Dorchester, was made the Military Governor of Quebec.When the Quebec Fortress was attacked by American Forces, led by General Benedict Arnold in 1875, Sir Guy set about to mobilize a French and an English regiment.The French would become known as the Voltigeurs, while the English was called the Volunteer Militia of Santa Claus escorted by Mrs.Claus.At 6 p.m.the ladies were asked to go upstairs to the hall where the men of the senior branch had prepared a nice supper for all.During the supper hour several toasts were made and one to the men thanking them for the meal they had served.The rest of the evening was spent socializing and dancing to the music of Roland Daigle.Telephone committee will get in touch with members for next general meeting in the new year.Violet McNab Publicity From the Pens of E.T.Writers THE TEN DAYS OF CHRISTMAS On the first day of Christmas my true

Mayhew Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Que.Is melancholy linked to winter?By Peter H.Gott, M.D.DEAR DR.GOTT: I live in Anchorage, Alaska, and would like information on seasonal affective disorder, a change of mood triggered by light deprivation.How does it affect Alaskans, and what percentage of people suffer from this disorder?DEAR READER: Seasonal affective disorder is an emotional affliction marked by cyclic depression occurring during the winter months when sunlight is scarce.The condition is common in northern climates, but no one has yet estimated how many people suffer from it.Patients often feel normal until midwinter (earlier in the northernmost countries) when days are shortest; then melancholy takes over.Daily exposure to sunlight or special artificial lights, administered under the supervision of psychiatrists, will relieve symptoms and even prevent the affliction.SAD is epidemic in Scandanavia and, 1 am certain, in Alaska, too.The cause of the condition is not known.DEAR DR.GOTT: My sister has been epileptic since childhood and suffers grand mal seizures that terrify me.fhe real problem is that she drinks between one and two cases of beer a week, smokes a pack of cigarettes each day, has no vision in her right eye because of a detached retina and looks older than her years.Is she asking for trouble leading this lifestyle?DEAR READER: Yes, she is.Your sister's disregard of a healthful lifestyle certainly puts her at risk for an early death.For example, her intake of beer is clearly excessive; in order to avoid heart and liver disease, she should stop using alcohol.Further, her cigarette consumption may lead to cancer and heart attack.I hope she is taking medicine, such as Dilantin, for her epilepsy, uncontrolled sei- Hares can lead to serious injury, even eath.In all likelihood, your sister is aware of the fact that she is abusing herself.Therefore, nothing you and I say or do will make the slightest difference.When she chooses to shape up, she will take the necessary steps to do so.Nonetheless, I think it's appropriate for you to mention your concerns to her, indicating that you (and other family members, too) worry about the risks she is taking and that you care.The rest is up to her.To provide more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cHelp II \u2014 Mental/Substance Abuse.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to PO.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101- 3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: After having a sonogram, I've been told I have an enlarged adrenal gland and an enlarged aorta.Can you explain this to me and indicate what I can do about my condition?DEAR READER: Each adrenal gland lies close to a kidney, which \u2014 in turn \u2014 is close to the aorta, the major artery supplying blood to the lower body.Thus, a sonogram (ultrasound exam) of the upper abdomen often shows the size of the aorta, the kid- and the adrenal glands.he most common cause of an enlarged aorta is an aneurysm: Part of the aortic wall weakens and bulges.This condition is serious because as the aortic wall stretches, it becomes weaker and, after a time, may burst, causing instant death.More commonly, small amounts of blood leak through the dilated tissue, causing abdominal pain.The only way to cure an aortic aneurysm is to remove it and replace the damaged area with a synthetic graft.As you can imagine, this is major surgery that carries risks.Experience has taught vascular surgeons that not all aneurysms must be repaired; small weaknesses can be monitored by sonograms, then surgically corrected only if they leak or reach a critical size (usually 6 centimeters in diameter).Therefore, I cannot comment about your options without knowing the size of your aneurysm and whether you have had symptoms.Follow your doctor's directives.I suspect the adrenal enlargement was discovered by accident during the ultrasound exam of your aorta.The adrenal glands manufacture cortisone and other substances necessary for good health.Sometimes one or both adrenal glands enlarge; this may be due to a tumor or simple overgrowth of the glands.To determine if your enlarged adrenal needs treatment, you'll have to undergo further testing.For example, serum cortisol and ACTH levels will tell your doctor whether your adrenal gland is functioning normally.If so, no therapy is necessary.Adrenal malfunction, however, would require an operation to remove part of the adrenal gland or a tumor.Again, you should follow your doctor's advice about how to proceed.To provide further information, 1 am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cAn Informed Approach to Surgery.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to PO.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DR.GOTT Canada.This regiment would see its name changed over the years; 1877 - 8th Battalion Royal Rifles; 1900, - 8th Regiment Royal Rifles; and 1920, Royal Rifles of Canada.This last change allowed the Regiment to be affiliated with the Royal Rifle Corps in the British Army, who were the first used against Napoleon's forces in Spain during the early 1800's.World War One saw many from the Royal Rifles serve in other units.This would all change in World War Two.\u201cJune of 1940 called for the mobilization of one of Canada\u2019s oldest regiments.That year would see the boys stationed in Valcartier, Que., Sussex, N.B.Botwood, Gander, Saint John's, Nfld.The next year was no less hectic with stations in Valcar- tier, Quebec, Saint John\u2019s and back to Valcartier.It was in Saint John's that the word came down that the regiment had been selected to serve in the hot climate.The stay in Valcartier was only long enough to embark on a train bound for Vancouver, British Columbia.On October 27, 1941, the regiment boarded the Australian Liner, Awatea, and arrived in Hong Kong on the sixteenth of November.\u201cThe regiment received a warm welcome by the people of Hong Kong.The boys marched sharply to their quarters called Shamshui PO Barracks in Kowloon, Main Land.These quarters would regretfully become the prison when the colony fell.\u201cI will not go into the Battle of Hong Kong nor the three years and nine months of brutal treatment the regiment suffered at the hands of the Japanese.Some would say that defending the colony was foolhardy at best.Nevertheless, a great deal of Canada\u2019s military history can be credited to one of the regiments composed of lads who came from the Eastern Townships; Gaspé Coast and Canadian Native people.Hong Kong was the first time Canadians have ever more! *13,950% fought in the Far East.It marked the first land battle for Canada in World War Two.It was the first time Canadian units bitterly engaged the Japanese Forces.Military historians who have studied the battle have found that the Royal Rifles performed more counterattacks and did not surrender until ordered to by the Governor of Hong Kong.\u201cThe formation of the Battalion would not have been possible if it had not been for the 16 officers and 380 other ranks led by Lieutenant Colonel T.G.MacAulay, Officer in Charge of the 711 Hussars.He, along with Lieutenant Colonel W.A.Bishop, (Commander of C Company) reverted to the rank of Major.Many of the lads of C Company came from Bury, Quebec.\u201cAfter the war, a Roll of Honour of 262 names of officers and other ranks appeared on a Memorial tablet erected in the Drill Hall, the home of the Royal Rifles in Quebec City.This memorial was unveiled by the Right Honourable Louis Saint Laurent, then Prime Minister of Canada, on November 13, 1949.A second plaque was erected in French on December 7, 1991, to explain the original.\u201cThe Royal Rifles were disbanded following the end of the Korean War.The 711th were soon after into the Sherbrooke Hussars.\u201d The following was taken from a Sherbrooke Record following the fall of Hong Kong.\u201cThe men came from the four corners of the Eastern Townships, from dozens of towns and villages \u2014 but by far the largest number came from the small community of Bury, which had thirty-one men in the Royal Rifles of Canada, one of the two regiments who participated in the defence of Hong Kong.\u201cEight other Bury boys had enlisted in the Royal Rifles.Of these, J.A.Bergeron, N.Lasenba and H.Thompson were discharged as medically unfit after training for some time, and Ross Wootten, Ronald Coates, Orton Coates, James Coleman and Charles Rawling were later transferred to other regiments and remained on duty in Canada.\u201d Among the thirty-one men from Bury were two officers, Major Wells A.Bishop died August 1977 and Major Thomas G.MacAulay, died April 1984.The other Bury lads were: James A.Cook, died June 1990; Chfford Royer died August 1990; James Royer, died 1967; George Halley, K.I.A.: Arthur Lowe died November 1988; Ernest Bennett, died March 1983; Ralph Coleman, died February 1990; Allan Kelso, died August 1984; Howard Grey, died June 2, 1987; Maurice Latulippe; Howard Ward; Cameron Harrison, D.P.O.W.; Argyle Harrison K.1.A.: Leo Ross; Lawrence Ross; Raymond Ross, died April 1989; Elwin Herring; Murray Goode- nough D.P.O.W.; Russell Coates D.P.OW.; George Everett, died July 1981; Eric Batley; Austin Batley; Frank Chapman, D.P.O.W.; Roland Lapalme died February 1977, Clarence Hunt; Gordon Grey, died February 1972; Earl Lasenba, died June 1947;

(CHUS) in Fleurimont on December 24, 1991.The funeral was held at the Cass Funeral Home in Stans- tead on December 28 at 2 p.m.Rev.Deborah Laing officiated, reading comforting passages from the Scriptures, offering prayers and speaking of the life of Gloria.Hazel Laberee played the organ music and accompanied Conrad and Yolande Haselton who sang a favorite hymn «In the Garden» rendered so beautifully.The bearers were Brian Embury of Lebanon, N.H., David Howe of Groveton, N.H., Andrew Bryant, Marc Keefe, Fred Mueller and Harold Markwell, all friends.Spring interment will take place in Woodside Cemetery in Beebe.The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends from Hamilton, Ont., St.George, N.B., Groveton and Lebanon, N.H., points of Vermont and the Eastern Townships.Gloria is survived by her husband, George; a sister, Mrs.John (Joyce) Lepitre of Hamilton, Ont.; a brother and sister-in-law, Gordon (Vick) and Berdena Maxwell of Conventry, Vt.; several nieces, nephews, cousins and a favorite aunt, Mrs.Irene Hatt of St.George, N.B., and a host of friends.Gloria was born on June 5, 1928 in Hampstead, New Brunswick, a daughter of Harold G.and Evalyne (Newlands) Maxwell.As a young woman, she came to Beebe and for several years she was employed by The Beerworth Press in Beebe and when the owner, Clayton Beerworth, moved from Beebe to the Old Journal Office on Church Street in Rock Island, she continued working for him.Gloria had a great love for all animals, especially dogs, and the German Shepherd dogs she and George raised for many years.She was an ardent bird watcher and could easily identify many types of these by their call.She was an official bird counter for the Birds\u2019 Association and spent many hours in this pastime.Gloria possessed a cheerful and happy disposition and made many friends over the years.The many floral arrangements and the memorial contributions in her name testified to this indicating the esteem in which she was held and in sympathy to George and her family.In July, 1950, she was united in marriage to George Buckland, and they were privileged to share 41 years together.She had been a diabetic for many years, this and complications finally taking her life after a courageous struggle, especially since August 1991 when she was in and out of the hospital.However, she was home a few days prior to Christmas and was looking forward to her annual trip back to New Brunswick to visit relatives and friends.She will be missed in her home and community.MELVINA ELEANOR (Wright) MASTINE of St.Felix de Kingsey, Que.Melvina passed away peacefully at the Wales Home on December 8, 1991 in her 94th year.A memorial service celebrating her life was held at St.Anne's Anglican Church, Richmond, conducted by Rev.Ruth Matthews, assisted by a great- niece, layreader Marilyn Masti- ne.Two favourite hymns, «Nearer My God to Thee» and «The Lord is My Shepherd» were sung.Her ashes were interred in Spooner Pond Cemetery beside her husband Harry who passed away 17 years ago December 9.Left with many fond memories are her sisters Evelyn, Mrs.Grant Davis of Danville and Mrs.Addie Stevens of Richmond; her only daughter Frances (Mrs.Roland Dewar) of St.Felix; grandsons Brent of Calgary and Craig (Gina) of Dartmouth; granddaughter Heather (Marc Sener) of Ottawa and one great-grandson Daniel of Dartmouth; faithful friends Charles and Ruth Higgs of Pictou, N.Sas well as Nelson and Blanche Mastine and many other relatives.Born on April 29, 1898, the eldest in a family of six, she was predeceased by an infant brother Charles and sisters May and Helen.This lady was blessed with a keen mind, a great memory and good eye-sight, and will be missed as a link to the past in local history.Her early education (for 1st and 2nd grade) was at the home of Mrs.Sykes in the village of St.Felix de Kingsey.After that, she was considered mature enough to drive the horse and care for her younger sisters on the three mile drive to Kingsey Consolidated School and to deliver milk to the cheese factory in the village and retrieve the cans on the way home.While performing chores night and morning, her education continued until she finished Grade 10.She was married to Henry Guy Mastine at St.Paul\u2019s, Sydenham, at the age of 20.Like the women of her age, she assisted in the farm operation and raised her chickens to have «a little money of my own».Each of her grandchildren and many of the children of friends and neighbours were proud and happy to wear her knitted pattern sweaters with each row and each stitch as smooth and as even as the last.Her cocheted runners and doilies were a sought after treasure.At the age of ninety, she started to crochet the old fashioned lace dress collars and had produced over 270 before she quit.This lady was sought out to add colour to our local history and will be sorely missed.She was well spoken of by all her neighbours and spoke well of them.Good-bye to a friend and one of God's faithful servants.Enter into the presence of thy maker and rest.Card of Thanks ABERCROMBIE \u2014 I would like to thank all my relatives and friends and all

and set up another as the Montreal Canadiens held off the Boston Bruins 3-2 Wednesday night.Muller assisted on a goal by Denis Savard while Shayne Cor- son also scored as Montreal, first in the NHL's Adams Division at 28-14-2, won for the sixth time in its last seven games.Cam Neely scored twice for second-place Boston, 18-18-5, to give him three goals in as many games since missing the first 38 games of the season with a thigh injury.Boston outshot Montreal 33-29 before a crowd of 17,715.The Canadiens, who are 4-2 against the Bruins this season, jumped on starting goaltender Matt Delguidice for three goals on 13 shots.Andy Moog took over in goal after Muller scored at 2:33 of the second period and played brilliantly, particularly on a second- period stop on Sylvain Turgeon on the doorstep.Savard was sent in alone to beat Delguidice with a high shot 1:25 into the game and Corson tapped in Stephan Lebeau's pass at 3:38.Neely put the Bruins back into the game 19 seconds into the second period when he cruised into the slot to one-time Craig Janney's pass behind Patrick Roy.Muller restored the two-goal lead at 2:33 on a high shot from a sharp angle, his 19th goal of the campaign.Neely got his second of the match with 1:49 left in the period, deflecting in Glen Wesley's point shot.Notes \u2014 Rumors have Boston\u2019s Craig Janney going to St.Louis for Adam Oates .The Canadiens\u2019 previous home game was Dec.22, a 3-2 win over Boston .The game was watched by Expos manager Tom Runnells and players Dennis Martinez, Tim Wallach, Larry Walker and Mike Gardner.Expos\u2019 manager keen on upcoming year By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Listening to Tom Runnells speak Wednesday, you could get the impression he is the manager of a world champion baseball team, rather than the skipper of the last-place Montreal Expos.In the city to launch the \" Expos\u2019 winter caravan \u2014 a goodwill tour with 30 stops throughout Quebec in the next three weeks \u2014 Runnells\u2019s optimism seemed at times to slip into hyperbole.\u201cFour days ago, when I got the itinerary for the caravan, I got goose bumps,\u201d said Runnells.\u201cI got all fired up realizing the great players we'd have here today to launch the caravan.\u201d Runnells was referring to Tim Wallach, Dennis Martinez, Larry Walker and Mark Gardner, who joined forces to meet the public in the first leg of the caravan.Runnells then proceeded to compare Wallach\u2019s defensive abilities at third base to Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson.He said the Expos catching trio of Darrin Fletcher, Gilberto Reyes and the still unsigned Gary Carter \u201cis the greatest combination of three catchers you could have in the game.\u201d Describing newcomer John Wetteland, who will be tried in the short-relief role, as \u201cnasty\u201d, Runnells added, \u201cDennis Martinez's and Mark Gardner's curve balls break from Crescent to Peel Street, but Wetteland goes beyond that.Twelve teams asked about Wetteland and he ended up with the Montreal Expos.\u201d Wetteland was obtained from the Cincinnati Reds fast month for outfielder Dave Martinez.FEUDS IN OFF-SEASON There were several undercurrents at the news conference Wednesday, including the presence of both Wallach and Dennis Martinez, who have feuded from long distance in the off- season.Several weeks ago, Martinez said bluntly that if Wallach did not want to switch from third base to first, filling a void left by the trading of Andres Galarraga, then Wallach, too, should be traded.In a radio interview Wednesday, before the news conference, Wallach said, \u201cYou can only take so much of what Dennis says.I plan to talk with him about it.\u201d Wallach has been the subject of recent trade rumors which have him joining the New York Yankees in exchange for at least one of their outfield prospects.\u201cI'd prefer to stay here, but only if we're going to build a winning ball club,\u201d remarked Wal- lach, who announced earlier that he would not exercise his veto rights if traded to New York.Duquette acknowledged that boosting the team's run production is still one of his club's off- season needs.Wallach, who slumped to a .225 average with 13 home runs and 73 runs batted in, was among the players whose decline contributed to a disastrous 1991 season, in which the Expos posted a 71-90 record, last in the East Division of the National League.Whether Carter, the popular former Expo, will have input into that production, is still uncertain.Claimed on waivers by Montreal last November, Carter is seeking more than $1 million, while the Expos are countering with $550,000.Carter has threatened to retire rather than play for that amount.\u201cWe'll be talking again next week,\u201d said Expos vice-president Bill Stoneman.Expos notes: The Expos have held the line on ticket prices, except for box seats, which go to $15.25, a 25-cent hike.The team reduced its terrace seats to $9, from $11 and has a 50-per-cent discount for children for terrace, general admission and bleacher tickets.MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Among the pieces of mail that Montreal Expos third baseman Tim Wallach received recently was the spring training work schedule devised by manager Tom Runnells.\u201cIt sounds like we're going to be out on the field for a while,\u201d commented Wallach on Wednesday.\u201cThat's all right.\u201cEverybody has their own way of going about spring training.\u201d It is the first spring-training camp for Runnells as the Expos manager.He replaced Buck Rodgers last June, and David Dombrowski, the Montreal general manager at the time, said one should not evaluate Runnells\u2019s managerial abilities until he had the chance to run the team right from training camp.That will occur starting Feb.Spring training won\u2019t be a party for Expos 28, when the Expos hold their first full-squad workout in West Palm Beach, Fla.\u201cOne of my main goals for spring training is that we're going to work harder than any major league team,\u201d stated Runnells.\u201cWe are going to be as ready as we've ever been.\u201cWe're going to get all the fundamentals down because we had some shortcomings with fundamentals last year.\u201cHow long will we stay out there?The players are the ones who are going to dictate that.If their intensity level is so good, maybe that will shorten the practices, but believe me, there would have to be a lot of intensity for that to happen.\u201cIf I'm satisfied with the work, we\u2019ll finish, otherwise we'll stay out there.If they have a 2:30 tee-off time somewhere, screw the golf.\u201d us Seaver, Fingers say Rose a Famer also NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The newest members of the Hall of Fame hope Pete Rose can join them in Cooperstown someday.Tom Seaver and Rollie Fingers appeared together as Hall of Famers for the first time on Wednesday to discuss their careers, their new status and Rose.Seaver set the record most observers once thought would belong to Rose when he received a record 98.8 per cent of the vote by the Baseball Writers\u2019 Association of America.\u201cThere have been few times in my career when 1 was speechless but last night was one of them,\u201d said Seaver, 311-205 lifetime, \u201cThere are moments that will stand out, that a person will take with him forever.I've had a few of those as a player and a few of those in my personal life and this is one of them.\u201d Rose got 41 write-in votes that didn\u2019t count.Three writers also sent in blank votes to protest Rose\u2019s name being dropped from the ballot.Rose was placed on baseball's ineligible list on Aug.23, 1989, by the late commissioner A.Bartlett Giamatti.The commissioner concluded after a six-month investigation that Rose bet on baseball games, including those involving the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team.ROSE PLUCKED Rose, a three-time National League batting champion, had been considered an odds-on favorite for first-year election \u2014 maybe a record percentage \u2014 until the investigation that led to his banishment.The directors at Cooperstown voted 12-0 last year to bar him from its ballot.Rose would have been on ballot for the first time in 1992, right there with Seaver and Fingers.Scoreboard LS CAMPBELL CONFERENCE Nerrie Oivisien WLT FAP Dewar 2512 4108 132 54 Love 1016 7142137 43 Crcego 1747 0147 120 43

show on the road this weekend.The Pipers travel to Maine for three exhibition games against high schools from the Waterville region.Galt will play Coney of Augusta High School Thursday night, Waterville High School Friday night and Winslow High School Saturday.Although the Pipers haven\u2019t played the Winslow Raiders this year, both teams participated in the Bishop's-Champlain High School Hockey Tournament in November.Galt won the tournament championship and the Raiders beat the Massey Vanier Vikings 10-0 in the consolation final.Pipers head coach Brian Heath said he was surprised Winslow lost in the first round against MacDonald Cartier.\u201cWe considered that game an upset,\u201d Heath said.Had the Raiders won the first-round match, they would have faced off against Galt.Winslow won the 1990-91 State of Maine Class B Championships.One thing Heath said he likes about the upcoming U.S exhibition games is that the teams they're going to play are strong.\u201cThat's what we need,\u201d Heath said.\u201cThose schools have had good (hockey) programs long before Galt was open.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s good competition.It keeps us sharp.\u201d Heath said that most of the players have stayed sharp over the holidays by playing pick-up games of hockey, or the odd game of basketball.He said the practices on Monday and Tuesday were successful, whereas if the players hadn\u2019t kept up in some sort of activity, they would Sunday\u2019s favorable HERNDON, Va.(AP) \u2014 It's supposed to be Redskin weather for Sunday\u2019s NFC championship game \u2014 cold, rainy, and sloppy \u2014 and the forecast is putting smiles on the faces of many Washington players.\u201cLet it rain, rain, rain,\u201d defensive end Charles Mann implored when he learned of the forecast.\u201cLet it come down like last week.\u201d Other than umbrella salesmen, nobody will be happier with gloomy weather than the Redskins.While many of the league'\u2019s run-and-shoot offences stall in the mud and slop, Washington\u2019s no-frills attack succeeds.Last week the Redskins let the rain roll right off their backs, the Falcons\u2019 run-and-shoot offence became waterlogged, and Washington earned a 24-7 divisional playoff win.In the victory over the Fal- Sport shorts have been sluggish.\u201cWe skated pretty hard yesterday,\u201d he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.Heath said it will be important for the Pipers to get the continued good goaltending they have recieved from both Kevin St.Pierre and Jason Morse.St.Pierre has been at times superb in the Galt net, and Morse has been sharp when he's gotten the chance.One player won't be in the same part of the States with the rest of the Pipers.Walter Pokora is vacationing in Florida and will miss the games.\u201cWe'll miss his scoring,\u201d Heath said.Danny Bibeau may also miss the trip because of an infected toe.Other than that, Heath said the Pipers are fairly healthy and looking forward to playing.\u201cIt\u2019s fun for them,\u201d he said.\u201cThey play night games down there and play the national anthems.\u201d He added the crowds for games are usually quite larger as well.Heath: \u2018It\u2019s good competition.\u2019 forecast is for \u2019Skins cons, Washington didn\u2019t have a complex scheme.In fact, there were just four running plays in the game plan: The famous counter gap left, the same play to the right, and delays in both directions.Although the Redskins scored their first touchdown on a draw play by Ricky Ervins, Washington stuck to its original game plan most of the day.Washington's offensive line has two players \u2014 Joe Jacoby and Jim Lachey \u2014 who weigh nearly 300 pounds, and good blocking tight ends in Ron Middleton and Don Warren that complement the running game.One man who discounts the effects of the weather \u2014 Redskins coach Joe Gibbs \u2014 warns that with star running back Barry Sanders, Detroit may not have to rely on wide receivers who will be battling to stay on their feet.CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 Reggie White, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end, is this year\u2019s recipient of Athletes in Action\u2019s Bart Starr Award.Starr, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, will present the award to White on Jan.24 at the NFL-sanctioned 1992 Super Bowl breakfast in Minneapolis.The award, determined in voting by NFL players, is given to the player who shows character and leadership on the field and in the community.Cincinnati offensive lineman Anthony Munoz received the award in 1990 and Chicago Bears linebacker Mike Singletary was honored in 1991.PONTIAC, Mich.(AP) \u2014 Don\u2019t start digging through stacks of NFL cards for one of Detroit Lions quarterback Erik Kramer.You won't find one.Kramer, the former Calgary Stampeder who has led the Lions into Sunday's NFC championship at Washington after starting the season as a backup, wasn't included in the sets printed by Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck or Score.\u201cThere's not an Erik Kramer card on the market that we know of,\u201d said Tom England, manager of the Troy Stamp and Coin Exchange.Tracy McInnis, manager of Sports Cards and Concepts in Keego Harbor, said the store has received several calls from frustrated collectors unable to find a Kramer card.\u201cI guess it's not too surprising,\u201d said store manager Tracy McInnis.\u201cAfter all, we're talking about someone who until recently was a journeyman player.\u201d NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Though he retired from the NBA last November because he had contracted HIV
