[" We're in this mess together \u2014 World Bank By Portia Priegert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Rich countries like Canada must spend more to help solve global environmental woes if the human race is to achieve sustained and equitable development, says a World Bank report released Monday.\u2018Industrial countries need to solve their own problems, but they also have a crucial role to play in helping to improve the environments of developing countries,\u201d says the report ti- tiled Development and the Environment.The world\u2019s richest countries must boost current spending of some $55 billion

but protesters demanding the ouster of the urelected prime minister rampaged through the streets into a second night.Atleast 14 people were reported killed and 300 wounded since an anti-government rally erupted in violence Sunday in Thailand\u2019s most serious uprising since 1976 against military interference in politics.Among the wounded were two foreigners.One of them is from Sweden, a witness said.No other details were: immediately available.External Affairs Minister Barbara McDougall deplored the violence.In a statement issued in the Bahamas, where she is attending an Organization of American States meeting, the minister called on Thai authorities to avoid using unnecessary force and on all parties to exercise restraint.But she also said \u2018\u2018Canada supports the movement towards increased democratization in Thailand.\u201d The External Affairs Department said all Canadians in Thailand are believed to be safe.It advised Canadians to delay all non-essential travel to the country for a few days, until a further reassessment of the situation is available.OPEN FIRE Late Monday, troops opened fire on thousands of demonstrators outside the Royal Hotel at barricades thrown across Rajdamnern Avenue to prevent rioters from marching on the Democracy Monument and government buildings.Reporters saw at least 40 people with gunshot wounds.A doctor said more than 80 people had been treated for gunshot wounds, and at least five of them had died.He estimated that more than 100 people had died Monday, but his report could not be confirmed.Two witnesses said soldiers opened fire when protesters crashed two commandeered buses into the barbed wire barricade.The troops initially fired into the air, but then started shooting at protesters who had been screaming taunts, the witnesses said.The soldiers retreated from the barricade after the shooting, and angry mobs of protesters burned vehicles and set fire to buildings housing the government\u2019s Department of Public Relations and the tax office.Chamlong Srimuang, an influential opposition leader, was arrested earlier Monday.Go- vernment-controlled television sdid troops were seeking six other organizers

where 26 men were killed by an explosion.Ten miners, including drae- germen, held a brief news conference in nearby Stellar- ton to thank people for their support during the May 9 disaster.But the topic turned quickly to safety.The miners said high methane levels were routinely ignored at Westray, methane monitors were either faulty or not used, and acetylene torches were used underground.**Yes, there were several corners being cut at times,\" said miner Randy Facette.Work must stop in the mine when methane levels reach 1.5 per cent of the air.Methane becomes explosive at five per cent.One miner said he saw methane levels of 3.5 and 3.75 per cent.\u201cDid you report those?\" are- porter asked.\u201cIt was known,\u201d\u2019 the miner replied.Methane gas is believed to have triggered the May 9 explosion at the mine owned by Cur- ragh Inc.of Toronto.The bodies of 15 men were recovered, but rescue efforts were halted last Thursday with 11 bodies still underground.Allegations of safety violations were made shortly after the explosion by former Wes- tray workers who said they quit rather than work in the mine again.Westray officials deny all claims, citing a safety award the mine recently received.One miner became emotional when he spoke of the award and of a colleague who received it on behalf of the mine and then was killed in the explosion.Premier Don Cameron has ordered an inquiry into the disaster.It is to begin soon.tally responsible growth in the world economy will all be needed.\u201d The world\u2019s population is expected to grow by 3.7 billion over the next 40 years, putting immense pressure on the environment.Food production will have to double and industrial output and energy use will probably triple worldwide and increase fivefold in developing countries.The report suggests priority be given to environmental problems that affect the most people \u2014 sanitation, safe water, indoor air pollution

Blast rips through Morgentaler clinic By Mark Dunn TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Dr.Henry Morgentaler promises to rebuild Ontario\u2019s first abortion clinic as soon as possible and blames anti-abortionists for a powerful explosion Monday that left his mid-town office a shambles.\u201cThis is a sign of the moral bankruptcy of the so-called pro-life movement,\u201d Morgentaler said outside his gutted clinic.\u201cIt cannot persuade people.They cannot act by democratic means so they resort to criminal acts, violence and arson.\u201d » The pre-dawn blast blew out the front of the building sent bricks and glass flying across Harbord Street and rocked neighboring businesses and homes, sending frightened and sleepy-eyed residents into the night clad in bathrobes.Fire Marshal Eric Blough poked through the rubble and \u2018said he suspected either a bomb or natural gas was responsible but couldn\u2019t confirm .the exact cause until today.But Greg Sevick, a spokesman for Consumer\u2019s Gas Co., said the utility \u2018\u2018found no sign of a natural gas explosion\u201d after its investigation.Police won\u2019t investigate until the fire marshal determines whether arson was behind the explosion, which caused an estimated $600,000 damage.PLAN RALLY Morgentaler supporters planned a rally for this afternoon in front of the clinic, which has been the target of an- ti-abortion groups since it opened in 1983.The explosion blew out the front of the three-storey, red brick building and damaged a next-door coffee shop.Two people lived in an apartment above the cafe but were not hurt.\u201cHad you been outside you would have been seriously injured,\u201d police Sgt.Donald Den- ley said about the force of the blast.Alex Cobb, who lives down the street from the clinic, said he heard \u2018\u2018a really loud bang.\u201d \u201cThe two people who live in the apartment above Coffee Mates were out in the street in bathrobes, using the phone.\u201d Carolyn Egan, a spokeswoman for the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics, said the \u2018\u2018results of the investigation will show it was a bombing.\u201d \u201cI feel it\u2019s an act of political frustration of the pro-life movement\u2019s defeat in Buffalo,\u201d .she said.HUNDREDS ARRESTED Egan was referring to protests by the U.S.anti-abortion group Operation Rescue which targeted Buffalo for demonstrations several weeks ago.Hundreds of anti-abortionists were arrested but most scheduled abortions were performed despite the protests.Fundamentalist minister \u2018Ken Campbell, a spokesman for the Toronto-based antiabortion group Choose Life Canada, denied any responsibility in the Victoria Day blast, saying \u2018\u2018it may have been an act of God.\u201d Egan said Toronto\u2019s three other abortion clinics have offered their services fo women inconvenienced by the indefinite closure of Morgantaler\u2019s clinic.Morgentaler has been charged in several provinces with a variety of offences related to his work.His acquittals eventually led to the Supreme Court of Canada striking down Canada\u2019s abortion law in 1988.In January, arsonists set the front of his Harbord Street clinic on fire, causing about $5,000 damage.Last June, Ontario approved full funding to abortion clinics in the province.Quebec and British Columbia are the only other provinces to cover abortions at private clinics through medicare.The four clinics in Ontario, all in Toronto, perform about 10,000 of the 33,000 abortions in the province each year.NATO does alright by Canada \u2014 Collins By Sylvia Strojek BANFF, Alta.(CP) \u2014 The Maple Leaf still flies over enough locations in Europe to prove Canada\u2019s commitment to the continent's security, Associate Defence Minister Mary Collins said Monday.Collins dismissed a suggestion made at a NATO parliamentary meeting on the weekend that Canada retain a force of 300 to 500 troops in Europe as a symbol of its continuing support for the alliance.Ottawa has taken flak \u2014 both internationally and at home \u2014 for its decision to withdraw all Canadian troops from two German bases by 1994.The original plan was to leave a reduced contingent of about 1,100 soldiers in Europe as part of a mobile NATO strike force.Canada will retain some NA- Canada couldn\u2019t fight long war TORONTO (CP) \u2014 A senior officer in the Canadian Forces says the country\u2019s military is incapable of a sustained campaign against any large-scale foreign or domestic threat.Col.K.T.Eddy, director of land studies at the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College in Toronto.wrote in a military journal that \u2018while the Canadian Forces, especially the army, is capable of dea- ¢ TO staff in Europe and has nearly 1,700 peacekeepers divided between Cyprus and Yugoslavia, Collins told delegates ling with minor internal security threats .it is simply not capable of sustained operations against any large-scale threat.\u201d Eddy called the praise heaped on the military for its Persian Gulf performance \u2018\u2018out of all proportion to the effort.and said it concealed *\u2018the real difficulties which had to be overcome in preparing, deploying and sustaining those to the North Atlantic Assembly\u2019s spring conference.\u201cWith roughly 2,000 of our people in Europe dedicated to torces.The article, published in the latest issue of Canadian Defence Quarterly, concludes that Canada\u2019s war doctrines lag 10 years behind those of the United States.Unless the Forces improve, even a simple military raid may be

said.See NATO, page 2.officer said the problems in the military are not a result of budget restrictions.He said the Forces need an \u2018\u2018educational process,\u2019\u2019 not an influx of new money.\u2018We in national defence no doubt suffer the same stifling effects that affect most bureaucracies who serve themselves better than those they were intended to serve,\u201d Eddy said in the article. 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, May 19, 1992 Morin affair will tarnish the PQ\u2019s golden age MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The aftershocks still reverberating in Quebec over the Claude Morin affair can be explained in part by the politics of nostalgia, academics and political observers say.The controversy swirling around Morin \u2014 the former Parti Quebecois strategist and philosopher-king who acted as a paid informer for the RCMP \u2014 has hit the PQ in a sensitive spot: its golden era.The time was 1976-1981, the party\u2019s first crack at power, re- Lumber By Laura Eggertson WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 Lumber is expected to be at the top of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney\u2019s shopping list when he arrives today to ask U.S.President George Bush to smooth over trade tensions.Mulroney arrives for a two- day working visit in the U.S.capital just four days after the administration placed a 6.51 per cent duty on Canadian softwood lumber.Canadian officials said after the decision that the duty would be a major topic of discussion between the two leaders.Canada sells $3 billion worth of softwood lumber to the United States each year.The dispute over whether the timber is subsidized,

pivotal language legislation enacted and a whole range of progressive social le- should be on list U.S.industry claims, is a key irritant in the two countries\u2019 relationship.A decision by U.S.Customs to disqualify Honda Civics made in Alliston, Ont., from du- ty-free entry into the United States also rubbed Canada the wrong way.Adding to the friction are decisions that went against Canada on beer and magnesium.Bush may want to raise a few gripes himself.Canada retaliated with duties on toothpicks and carpets.Or maybe he won\u2019t.\u201cI think he\u2019ll be in a listening mode for a lot of this,\u201d said Doug Davidson, a White House spokesman.TALK TRADE At a working lunch on Wednesday, the leaders are also ex- gislation produced \u2014 trom free dental care for children

Canary Wharf project have decided not to pull the plug on the office development, one of the banks announced Monday.There had been speculation that the banks would call in British bankruptcy court receivers for the east London docklands project after Olympia and York Developments Ltd.obtained bankruptcy court protection for its Canadian operations Thursday.Toronto-based Olympia and York also had the option of calling in British court administrators, but it said it was trying to avert such a move.Barclays Bank, a joint coordinator for Canary Wharf\u2019s 11 banks, said Monday that all

said.\u201cIn this new environment, the old standards of alliance security no longer apply.\u201d Conservative MP Bob Hicks, who is opposed to his government\u2019s decision on troop withdrawals, has said Ottawa is blurring the issue when it points to Canada\u2019s peacekeepers overseas.\u201cI don\u2019t think the two have anything to do with one another,\u201d said Hicks, who is vice-president of the assembly.\u201cPeacekeeping is under the auspices of the United Nations.We're not talking about the United Nations here.We're talking about our commitment to NATO.\u201d Collins said the important issue is security \u2014 not who is providing it.\u2018\u2018What else are we concerned about?Let\u2019s not get hung up that it\u2019s got to be one organization or the other.The goal is to have a more secure Europe.\u201d The government is hoping to save about $950 million annually with the move.The money is to go towards upgrading Canada\u2019s military capabilities.Collins also dismissed a suggestion by some NATO members that Canada\u2019s withdrawal will spur American and British troops to pull out as well.\u201cThe suggestion that Canada exercises vast influence over the decisions of our other alliance partners is somewhat appealing, but not very realistic.\u201d Canada\u2019s withdrawal was not the hot potato some had expected at the four-day conference.Hicks said he was somewhat surprised at the low-key approach, but suggested the delegates were being polite towards their host.\u2018\u201cThey don\u2019t want to walk into Canada and start attacking us.\u201d the

merciless recession, a wrenching battle with public-sector unions and defections that accompanied the late premier Rene Levesque\u2019s softening on sovereignty.In fact, yesteryear\u2019s ideological divisions in the PQ between hardliners and eta- pistes \u2014 those favoring a gradual step-by-step approach to sovereignty \u2014 resonate loudly in the Morin scandal.As the father of etapisme, Morin has always been suspect in the eyes of many PQ insiders.He was the prime mover behind the 1980 referendum question, a tortuous and mam- by-pamby question which many PQ hardliners blame for the crushing defeat.To be sure, Morin\u2019s game- plan succeeded in bringing the PQ to power in 1976 by relegating the sovereignty question to a later referendum.But the party is decidedly less etapiste these days under the current leadership of Jacques Pari- zeau.The Morin affair has thus given rise to a personal settling of accounts within the PQ, enabling some party hardliners to take vengeance on the father of etapisme.But Blais doesn\u2019t expect factional bloodletting to tear the party apart.\u2018\u2018Parizeau has largely succeeded in reconciling the two wings of the party,\u201d he says.as Mulroney meets Bush together despite its constitutio- - nal woes.National unity is also expected to figure in a commencement speech at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore on Thursday.But trade is the major subject, which Mulroney will also raise with a protectionist Congress when he meets House and Senate leaders Thursday.The lumber and Honda rulings prompted a rare rhetorical retort from Mulroney, usually the most positive of U.S.supporters.He labelled the rulings more in keeping with a \u2018\u2018tinpot dictator\u2019\u2019 than the leader of the free world.But the prime minister was careful to target only the minions \u2014 \u201clow-level functionaries\u2019\u2019\u2014 who carry out administration policy, not Bush himself.This meeting, at Bush\u2019s invitation, is the two conservatives\u2019 first one-on-one encounter since Mulroney\u2019s remarks.SPECIAL FRIENDS Mulroney prides himself on what he calls the personal friendship that gives him special access to the president.\u2018\u2018\u201cThe prime minister operates from the premise that a constructive relationship with the United States is in the best interests of Canada,\u201d said the Canadian official.\u201cI can\u2019t think of a time when the contact has been as frequent as it is between the prime minister and the president today.\u201d But Mulroney has been on the phone to Bush about these unpleasant trade matters.And one senses, through obfuscating diplomatic language, that the relationship is more tense than when the two men stood shoulder-to-shoulder against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein last summer.\u201cThe prime minister will obviously impress upon the president the concerns that he has about the cumulative pressures that are flowing from the range of trade irritants between Canada and the United States and seek to .resolve wherever possible some of these issues.\u201d said the official.Likely translation: The prime minister is peeved.And he wants Bush to fix things up.Maestro LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Lawrence Welk, the smiling maestro whose danceable music entertained millions of people during his 30 years on television, has died.He was 89.Welk died Sunday evening at his home in Santa Monica, Calif., said spokeswoman Bernice McGeehan.Family members were present when he died.Welk had been battling pneumonia in recent days.\u2018\u2018He really died peacefully,\u201d McGeehan said.When he appeared on Los An- geles television in 1951, his lilting music attracted an adoring audience, mostly people of mature years.He appeared on television regularly for more than 30 years.Welk accompanied his musicians with his accordion and Welk is dead at 89 danced a graceful waltz with his Champagne Lady vocalist.He never wavered from the easy-listening, melodic style he started playing in his native North Dakota.\u2018\u201c\u201cWe try to please our audience,\u201d he said in 1964.\u201cWe try to bring it some joy, happiness and relaxation and

\u2018\u2018wunnerful, wunner- ful\u2019\u2019 became part of his fans\u2019 lexicon.Welk\u2019s accent came from his parents.They were born in Al- sace-Lorraine, a region of France that was once part of Germany.In 1892, they emigrated to the U.S.and settled on a farm near Strasburg, N.D.Lawrence was one of eight children born to Ludwig and Christina Welk.As a youngster, Lawrence practised on his father\u2019s accordion.At 21, he announced he was leaving the farm for life as a musician.\u201cYou'll be back,\u201d his father predicted.\u2018You'll be back just as soon as you get hungry.\u201d Welk began the tedious grind of playing one-night stands with pickup bands, then started his own Biggest Little Band in America.Over the years, he developed the style that would make him famous: bouncing, effervescent, with a steady beat that invited dancing.Pope beatities controversial Escriva VATICAN CITY (AP) \u2014 More than 200,000 people jammed St.Peter\u2019s Square on Sunday to witness Pope John Paul beatify the founder of the controversial Roman Catholic organization Opus Dei.The beatification of Msgr.Josemaria Escriva de Bala- guer of Spain was one of the biggest celebrations since John Paul became pope in 1978.Pilgrims from 60 countries came on more than 2,000 buses, hundreds of airline flights and two ships from Spain.Beatification is the final step before sainthood.Some former Opus Dei members and others who have criticized the group argued the step MIN{T[4:] Doonesbury is being taken too hastily.Critics said Escriva, who died in 1975, was ill-tempered and manipulative and created a secretive, far-right organization.The Pope, in glittering gold robes, sat in a high-backed white chair in front of St.Peter\u2019s Basilica and listened as two prelates requested the beatification of Escriva and Giu- seppina Bakhita, a Sudanese- born nun.Then the pontiff announced in Latin: \u2018From now on they can be called \u2018blessed,\u2019 and their feast days can be celebrated.\u201d Curtains rose revealing giant portraits of Escriva and Bakhi- ta on the basilica.The crowd: burst into applause as a choir sang a chorus of amens.75,000 STRONG Many in the crowd were members of Opus Dei, or God\u2019s Work, a predominantly lay organization of about 75,000 Roman Catholics worldwide.Some former members, priests and other critics accuse Opus Dei of seeking high positions in business and politics.Inthe last decade of fascist dictator Francisco Franco's rule in Spain, 10 of his 19 ministers were members.The period leading up to the beatification

MAGOG TOWNSHIP \u2014 There is no definite age to be passionate, and no age either to dedicate a part of one\u2019s life to one\u2019s art.Thus, while all the media of the world revolved around the demolition of the Berlin Wall or the Gulf War, one man devoted himself to his art, just as though nothing happened.What an art! You have to see it to believe it.For more than 35 years Gun- ter W.Schutze, who now lives in the Magog Township, has spent his evenings piecing together the great battles that have marked history.Not just any war, though: Schutze has eyes and ears only for those that happened during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.The reason is simple: \u201cThe soldiers wore beautiful uniforms then,\u201d he says.Just entering his den, one can see that his love for history knows no bounds.It is like stepping into a military museum.SURROUNDED BY WAR Imagine finding yourself surrounded by thousands of little soldiers dressed in war regalia reconstructing the first battle held during the Seven Year War; or the battle at Waterloo in 1815, when the English, Dutch and Prussians defeated ding theft of property and vehicles and drug abuse.It will also educate parents on protecting their children.Maison Secur will have its first open house this weekend in Ascot\u2019s Belvedere Park.The home will also be used during Operation Autographe on June 6 and 7 beside St.Antoine School in Lennoxville.At this event police will show people how to engrave identification numbers on their cars and personal objects, so that they can be traced in the event of a theft.After that the house will tour urban neighborhoods on June 14.Then it will be used during Friendship Day in Lennoxville, June 20 and during St.Jean Baptiste festivities on June 24 and 25 in Belvedere Park in Ascot.Police chief Jacques Gagnon added the house could be used by groups promoting safety and even as a mini-operations centre in case of a small disaster or other emergency.The house was built with $15,000 in supplies and money from some 45 sponsors.It was put together by students at the 24 Juin vocational traning centre in Sherbrooke.Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s army.Then, all of a sudden, you turn your head to the left and notice the Naseby Battle.Sounds familiar?It was the battle where, in 1645, Lord Oliver Cromwell fought against the British Royal troops and had King Charles I beheaded.For Schutze.history is a ge- ., nuine passion.He says he owns more than 3,000 miniature soldiers.He uses them to recapture the great moments in history.In order to reconstruct the marking moments in history, Schutze had to make several moves.First of all.he had to find a place where he could buy the toy soldiers made of lead and pewter.In order to remain as faithful as possible, he also had to scrutinize history books to find out exactly how the battles progressed.MAKES MODELS \u201cI even had to make the models myself.And then I painted each soldier according to the colors of the suits they wore.\u201d The more we observe his models, the more we seem to witness the events they illustrate.Not surprising, especially when we know that this 60- year-old man has always been a history buff.\u201cIn elementary school.my twin brother and I had the best grades in history, geography, weekend over the long

councillor for his native country.His career as a diplomat enabled him to work in several countries: Switzerland, New York (for the UN), and Brazil.In this last country.his passion for history got to be known by many, including the president.\u201cIt was in 1984.Some close colleagues of the president told me that he would be delighted to have a soldier on horseback.I made one in his image.\u201d The result?He obtained a private session with the president of Brazil.Many newspapers and magazines there published articles on Schutze.Brazil's national television also became interested in his work and dedicated one broadcast to his works.SACRED FIRE Schutze can be proud of his thirty-some years of work in the field.Too bad that history professors don\u2019t have the sacred fire he has.History courses would be so much more interesting.Time flies when talking with him.It\u2019s been two hours since I\u2019ve entered his place and it\u2019s as though I've just arrived.Talkative?Indeed.There

and will reconstitute, in the minutest details, all the historical events that lead 7 to or followed what you're looking at.It\u2019s beyond his control.If you pronounce the word history his eyes immediately shine a thousand sparkles.Even his voice becomes slightly different.You get the impression he\u2019s in seventh heaven! Schutze has travelled all over the place.He has not only visited countries, but also resided in many fer a few years.\u201cIt's part of a diplomat\u2019s life,\u201d he says.As for the Townships, he

and gestures than through any spoken language.In post-war Quebec, even a visiting stranger could not help but note the church\u2019s influence on Quebecers\u2019 daily lives.Small rural villages were dotted with impressive gothic churches.The most handsome homes in villages were the church presbyteries.Shrines were erected in honor of the blessed virgin on front lawns as further commitment to the church.Streets were named after saints and later politicians, illustrating a shift in few saints who made the transition from church to state and continues to be honored today.In the 1960s and early \u201970s, before open talk of independence was an acceptable political option (remember French president Charles de Gaulle scandalized people with the suggestion), independent-minded Que- becers showed their political colors by flying the fleur-de-lis above, or instead of, the Maple Leaf.More recently, Quebec\u2019s penchant for projecting a French face has taken on Mass extinctions hold disturbing lesson for today By Paul Raeburn NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Human activity is triggering a mass extine- tion rivalling the period when asteroid collisions wiped out the dinosaurs, a paleontologist has concluded.\u201cThere is no doubt that we \u2014 with our ozone depletion, our greenhouse effect and our clearance of huge areas for agriculture \u2014 are indeed usurping the role of those .asteroids,\u201d says Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History.\u201cWe are interacting with environmental changes already under way and could well be speeding up the march toward the next mass extinction,\u201d Eldredge says in The Miner's Canary (Prentice Hall Press-Simon and Schuster, $20 US).Eldredge is a specialist in the fossil sea creatures known as trilobites \u2014 primitive relatives of crustaceans, insects and spiders \u2014 which perished in a mass extinction 245 million years ago.He is known for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, developed with Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould.This theory holds that the evolution of species occurs not steadily but in bursts, between periods of relative calm.Eldredge\u2019s fascination with the causes of mass extinction arose when he began studying birds to complement his research on trilobites.\u2018\u2018I thought it would be helpful to study a modern group,\u2019 he said in his office at the museum.BIRDS GONE He quickly ran into a problem.Some of the birds he was looking for were harder to find than trilobites.\u2018\u201cl\u2019d always read that red-eyed vireos were the most common birds in North America.\u2019\u2019 El- dredge said.\u2018\u2018And it took me a long time to find one.\u201d That gave Eldredge the idea for his book.The near-disappearance of the red-eyed vireo was a sign of danger \u2014 like the death of the canaries miners carried underground to alert them to the presence of poisonous gases.Species like the red-eyed vireo serve as a kind of global miner\u2019s canary.Eldredge received his degree from Columbia University, where he, Gould and a few others had the novel idea in the 1960s to look for patterns of evolution in fossils.Paleontologists had been studying fossils for decades, but hadn\u2019t used them as a window on evolution, Eldredge said.\u2018\u2018Most invertebrate paleontologists are in geology departments, and work for oil companies still,\u201d Eldredge said.\u2018They're not biologists.\u201d When he began looking at trilobites, he was frustrated by an apparent lack of change.\u2018They didn\u2019t seem to change no matter where you were,\u201d he said.** It took me a couple years to realize this was interesting.\u2019 ORIGIN OF SPECIES Biologists had thought that species change gradually over time.as evolution slowly advances.What Eldredge saw in the fossil record was something else: long periods with little or no change.followed by bursts of new species.These bursts seemed to follow periods of mass extinction.which would open up ecological niches for new species, Eldredge said.The most famous mass extine- tion occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared.Many scientists believe the cause was one or more asteroids that slammed into the Earth.filling the atmosphere with huge dust clouds that blocked the sun and lowered temperatures.Eldredge says all the half- dozen mass extinctions known to have occurred in the Earth\u2019s 4- billion-year history had a single.underlying cause: the loss of habitat that species needed to survive.Climate change \u2014 usually cooling \u2014 often preceded mass extinctions, Eidredge found, but temperature change wasn't the direct cause.It was the influence of temperature on habitat that caused the species to disappear.he says.HUMAN ERASE \u201cOnce I decided it was all habitat alteration, it wasn\u2019t too hard to figure out what people were doing.\u201d he said.In recent decades, human beings have acquired the ability to modify habitat on a global scale.Eldredge said.The consequence has been the loss of at least 17,500 species a vear, perhaps many more, according to ecologist Edward O.Wilson of Harvard University.If humans are to avoid extine- tion, the drastic alteration of global habitat ust stop, Eldredge says.\u201cThe argument is purely selfish: to leave enough of the natural ecosystems intact so that the global system remains recognizably what it has been throughout the history of our species \u2014 so that we as a species can survive.\u201d Some have suggested that humans should simply accept their fate.Other species have become extinct; why not people?Eldredge answers by recalling the dying words of the great anthropologist Margaret Mead.When Mead told her nurse that the end was near, the nurse said.\u201cThere.there.dear.we all have to die sometime.\u201d \u2018\u201cYes.\u2019\u2019 said Mead.\u2018\u2018but this is different.\u201d symbolic importance.Law 101, which makes it legal to do so, will remain a sacred cow until it\u2019s replaced by some other symbolic gesture.It might have been Meech Lake had it succeeded.And it might be the result of the coming referenda.Quebec is presently struggling to find a new symbol which will reflect its autonomy and quest for self-determination.By choosing to recognize Canada Day as a national holiday, perhaps Quebec is saying this new identity includes Canada.At least for now.\u2014\u2014 ss Hand, 1d 539 ts deteriorating SHARON McCULLY By protecting families, did Westray protect itself\u201d) Managing editor Sandra Secord.writing

literary editor of Saturday Night magazine in 1940.French is a language anybody can learn but.It is a well known fact that a woodpecker uses his head to finish the job he has already started \u2014 we don\u2019t.I am referring to this convenient little thing called learning French.No magic about it, \u201cNow you see it, now you don\u2019t\u201d.The answer is simply a lot of hard work, 24-hours-a-day and a willingness to learn.Just a little reminder to let you know that French is the most beautiful language in the world.It has been the language of diplomacy over the yearsin all parts of the world.It does not belong to the French.It is a language anybody can learn but like everything else in this world, that is worthwhile, it takes a lot of hard work, to speak, read or write it properly.This we don\u2019t do.ANOTHER ROAD To be comfortable with the language and not confused, we must get off the collision course we are on and travel on another road.How do you do that?First of all, the most important step is to follow the advice of Dr.Wilder Penfield, the famous neurologist of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal.He repeatedly said that any child can learn two or even three languages and keep them well separated, no stuttering nor confusion, if it is done at the proper time, between the ages of one and 12.The mind is very flexible at this stage and languages are no problem.After the age of 12, however, a totally different situation arises with its many new problems.The brain seems to become more mature and loses some of its flexibility of earlier years.Our ability to master languages from here on becomes a little more difficult.You might say that we have missed the boat from this point on.Commentary By R.W.Saint Pierre It is no longer a labor of love.but entails a great deal more hard work and a certain amount of confusion, as well.À child will develop many new interests from here on and will have less interest in languages as he moves into his teens.There should be French teachers in elementary schools, whose mother tongue is French, to teach the language.English teachers do not do justice to the sights and sounds of the French language and therefore should not attempt to teach French to English children during these crucial years.A French teacher should be hired to do the job properly.The elementary school is the place where the basic groundwork must be laid.Unfortunately, teachers, parents and school authorities pay no attention to this.What a waste.Do you know the most powerful religious institutions on the face of this Earth pay strict attention to this rule.We completely overlook this fact in our educational system, the results are not the best, as you can see.RADICALLY WRONG Once the elementary students reach high school and have not received this basic training during their elementary years, they will not go much further in French, regardless of what happens in high school.Most of the graduates of our high schools know very little French and precious few can be labelled bilingual.Something is radically wrong.So you really do want to learn French.Don\u2019t take any short courses, they are not productive.French is a lifetime study.Do not send your children to French schools, they haven't the foggiest notion about what is going on.They will get very confused as a result.They certainly are not learning French and will quit before they get very far.I'm always amused when | hear that so and so is bilingual.I have yet to meet anybody that I would label truly bilingual.The language is so big that we cannot begin to master it.For instance, every profession and every trade and every occupation has its own vocabulary.which we could never begin to master and that simply means that we are far from ever being bilingual.STREET FRENCH There is however, something they call everyday French, or street French.to which we are normally exposed.It contains about 500 words and countless mistakes.It is the best mixture of English and French that you will ever want to hear.À lot of the words are not even listed in the dictionary.This is not what I call good French and is not recommended by l\u2019Academie Française.If you should become ambitious and start reading newspapers.you are running into literary tenses which are not used in conversation.This could confuse you even more.That means more work, more study.French is no push over.It involves a lot of hard work.They speak it in La Belle Province and it is here to stay.Guide yourself accordingly.There is still one more little thing before you become bilingual: you must have confidence in yourself or be comfortable with the language.To develop confi dence in yourself, you must talk to the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, as often as possible.By persevering you will accomplish a great deal.The potential is there.You just have to harness it and use it.This would be a major step toward keeping our young people at home.Don't forget this is your home.Make it bigger and better by adding not subtracting.Far away pastures are not greener, they only look that way.For those of you who decide to stay and learn French, just a few words of wisdom by Voltaire, the famous French writer.He once wrote, \u201cAfter you have sought over the wide world, you learn that happiness is to be found only in your own home.\u201d R.W.Saint Pierre is a Bison ton resident. Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, May 19, 1992\u20145 Record Free Trade: Americans fear job loss to Mexico By Rick Gladstone and Susana Hayward NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 USS.labor leaders, alarmed by a migration of employers to plants just beyond the Texas frontier, argue that the idle American workers and closed factories left behind are an economie disaster and national disgrace.American business people and economists contend that the border plants \u2014 maquila- doras \u2014 attract only low- quality assembly jobs that would have gone to Asia anyway.Moreover, they say, the ma- quiladoras help the U.S.economy by preserving and even increasing high-paying jobs in America, by lowering prices for American consumers and by providing Mexicans with billions of dollars that ultimately will be spent on American goods.The emotional intensity of this debate has accelerated because of the North America Free Trade Agreement being negotiated by Canada, the United States and Mexico.One possible result of the agreement could be a far greater U.S.industrial relocation to Mexico.That would expand the border strip of maquiladora plants, which make products ranging from Ford Escorts to jeans, into the Mexican interior.American unions fear millions of additional jobs could be lost, dwarfing the 400,000 they reckon have been usurped so far by the maquiladoras, where workers earn a small fraction of U.S.wages.FREE FIRE ZONE \u2018\u201cWe don\u2019t think the free trade pact will benefit American workers at all,\u201d says Jay Mazur, president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in New York.\u201cFree trade is a misnomer.Mexico isn\u2019t economically free.With a wage differential between Mexico and the U.S.of 20-to-one, you're not dealing with an even playing field.\u201d A NAFTA pact, Mazur said, would be \u2018\u2018another nail in the coffin of American economic well-being.\u201d But several studies suggest North American free trade would increase U.S.exports to Mexico, mostly in such large- scale products as bulldozers, supercomputers and gas turbines.These goods are critical to building roads, housing and telecommunications Mexico will need to become an economic power.This demand, the studies conclude, could cause explosive growth in production and employment in U.S.high- technology manufacturing.The Institute for International Economics, a free-market research group based in Washington, estimates free trade would create 600,000 jobs in Mexico and 130,000 in the United States \u2014 plus a $10-billion improvement in America\u2019s trade balance with Mexico.\u2018\u201cWe think the results .will be to create a capital investment boom in Mexico,\u201d says Gary Hufbauer of Georgetown University, co-author of the institute study.\u2018BIG KICK\u2019 \u201cThat means Mexico will run a large trade deficit, with most of the imports from United States,\u201d\u201d Hufbauer says.\u2018\u2018So we get a big Kick out ot the prosperity of Mexico.\u201d Lawrence Veit, an international economist at the Wall Street investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman, says labor\u2019s arguments about Mexico are flawed.\u201cIf a company hadn\u2019t moved to Mexico, would it have moved to Taiwan?\u201d he says.\u2018\u2018It\u2019s a very difficult question that people are trying to get at, with a very misleading result.\u201d Nonetheless, labor leaders say an open border for U.S.businesses to relocate to Mexico is one of the gravest problems confronting American workers.Even Ross Perot, billionaire businessman and probable presidential candidate, is skeptical about a free trade agreement.\u201cI called a Who's Who of American manufacturing and I said: \u2018When would you build your next factory in the U.S.if this went through?\u2019 he told Business Week magazine.\u201cThey laughed.They said, \u2018We wouldn\u2019t.\u201d\u201d\u2019 About 500,000 Mexicans are currently employed at 2,100 maquiladora factories, which bring $4 billion a year into Mexico.The maquiladoras \u2014 foreign-owned plants that assemble imported parts and raw materials for duty-free reexport \u2014 are Mexico's largest source of income after oil.GRINDING MILLS Their name comes from the Spanish verb maquilar, which means to retain a portion of flour in exchange for milling wheat.The Mexican workers {ypi- cally earn the equivalent of $5 to $7 a day.In the United States, similar jobs pay $8 to > $15 an hour.American companies say the flight south of the border is a matter of survival.\u2018\u2018Over the past 20 years, the U.S.television industry has been under siege by foreign competitors,\u201d says John Taylor, a spokesman for Zenith, the last American-owned TV manufacturer.\u201cIf we didn\u2019t have operations in Mexico, we would have been out of business years ago.\u201d Mexico established the ma- quiladora program in 1965 and Zenith arrived 12 years later.The company now employs 19,000 Mexicans in five border cities \u2014 more than twice as many workers as it has on its American payroll.: Critics accuse U.S.companies of exploiting desperate Mexican laborers.\u2018\u2018Mexican workers are not slaves,\u201d says Ed Kruger of the American Friends Services Committee, a Quaker group { that informs employees of their rights.\u201cI'm not against bringing jobs,\u201d Kruger says.\u2018I'm against this obscene exploitation.Something is wrong when you pay workers less than a dollar an hour to operate a machine that is worth thousands of dollars.\u201d DIRTY WORK Maquiladoras also have created what environmentalists call a pollution disaster zone by burying toxic chemicals and sludge.The American .Medical Association describes \"the region as \u2018\u2018a virtual cesspool.\u201d According to a government - study, only 19 per cent of U.S.- owned magquiladoras could prove they comply with Mexico\u2019s laxly enforced environmental laws.Jose Morales de la Cruz, president of the

say DEAR READERS: Remember the letter from the Illinois mother who wrote to express concern about her 12-year-old son because of his slow maturation?She wrote, \"The boy is of normal weight and height, However, I'm.worricd about his genitals.The penis and scrotum are still the size of a toddler's.His 6-year-old brother is larger than he is.His physical education instructor says he doesn't like to go to class because of the showers.I took the boy to a pediatrician and an endocrinologist.Both laughed the matter off and assured me that he would have plenty of girlfriends.\u201d I responded by telling that mother she should feel relieved 10 know there's no physical problem and that the lad is merely undersized.I then added a reassuring word about sex therapists who point oul that size has very little to do with satisfaction.Were the readers in agreement?Did they think the problem was well handled?Not on your tintype.Read on: Dear Ann: What the devil is the mother of a 12-year-old boy doing examining his genitals?That poor kid.If his life is ruined it won't be due to a lack of gencrosity in the area of sexual endowment, but the overbearing intrusiveness of his momma.[ am the mother of a boy who will be 12 in a few wecks.1 bowed out of his hygiene and bathroom aclivity six years ago with excellent results, Respecting children's privacy is a key ingredient in helping them to develop self-esteem and respect for others.You didn't lay this out as clearly as you could have.- P.L.M., WILLIAMSON, GA.From Melbourne, Fla.: That was one of the most miserable answers you have ever given.Several years ago in Iran, where the soil was highly deficient in zinc, many boys had substandard genital organs.Doctors who were interested in the problem put them on zinc and they became normal for their age group.- COL.WILLIAM H.FREDERICK Louisville: If a man were to comment on the sexual development of his 12-ycar-old daughter, he would be considered a sexual abuser, arrested, jailed and ordered to stay away from the child.How long is that mother going to be permitted to inspect her son's genitals?Until he is 177 Or maybe 20?By that time the boy will be a major league sicko, and it'll wake years of therapy to straighten him out.It's the mother who has the problem, not the boy.As you say, \"Wake up and smell the coffee.\u201d - ANONYMOUS Worcester, Mass: Tragically, the woman who wrote to you about the size of her 12-ycar-old son's genitals suffered yet a third idiotic reply.First her pediatrician and then the endocrinologist both laughed it off, and now here comes Ann Landers who says the mother should be careful that she doesn't transfer her anxiety to the boy and give him a complex.I urge you to contact the mother promptly and tell her that hormone therapy may be needed.} The condition can be easily assessed by a caring physician who would help psychologically, also.- CHANNING WASHBURN, M.D., BASS HARBOR, MAINE Somewhere in Kentucky: Tell that 12-year-old kid he's been blessed.I'm 80 years old and have known several women whose lives were made miscrable by men who were aver-endowed.Son, you have at .cast one small thing to be thankful for.Count your blessings.- LITTLE WILLIE Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I sense a strong undercurrent of sexism in your column.But then, every man but Adam had a mother to tell him how to act.Question: Who gave women the authority to decide what is wrong with men?Maybe nothing is wrong.Maybe the real problem is that something is wrong with women.They scem to enjoy the process of \u201cremodeling\u201d men to fit their fantasies of what the ideal man should be.In my college days, I often read men's magazines and I don't remember secing a single article on what's wrong with women.Who is to say that socks belong in a hamper and not on the floor and that dishes must be washed right after the meal instead of at the end of the week?None of these situations cause a nuclear mclidown, yet they have been known to break up marriages.In the future, I think you and others should acknowledge that there are two ways of looking at a situation - from a woman's point of view and from a man's.This would be a great deal more scnsible than telling men how to acl.- STEVE T., HARRISBURG, PA.DEAR STEVE: I can't sce that \"telling men how to act\u201d (or women, for that matter) would be a very successful undertaking.However, its a well-known fact that women have always been a civilizing influence on men.Even the dimmest male bulb knows that if he is going to get what he wants from a woman (and I am not talking about sex) he must conduct himself in a way that is acceptable to her - and that's not all bad.= aa mA a PT - am ti re \u2014 CY AD er ed aba A wf PT ~~ gm
