the Charlottetown accord in Quebec, so the leaders of the No forces might be forgiven a little anticipatory gloating.Jacques Parizeau, Parti Québécois leader and No committee president, isn\u2019t patting himself on the back just yet.But he\u2019s coming close.Wary of appearing overconfident, Parizeau maintains he won't take a No victory for granted until the polls close next Monday.But

Monday for a little help in his faltering Yes campaign.Bourassa, flanked by Ontario Premier Bob Rae, referred to Berra\u2019s famous aphorism that \u2018\u2018it ain\u2019t over til it\u2019s over\u201d to justify his dogged optimism that he can still pull out a victory in Mondays unity referendum.\u2018\u201cWe\u2019re still not at the end of the ninth inning,\u201d said Bourassa, whose Yes side trailed the No in Quebec by 17 percentage points in a CROP poll published Monday.It was actually Rae who took the first swing at a baseball metaphor.The Ontario premier referred to the Toronto Blue Jays\u2019 stunning ninth inning victory over the Atlanta Braves in Sunday\u2019s second game of the World Series.\u201cThere were a lot of people who went to bed at the end of the eighth inning,\u201d said Rae, Bourassa: We can win it in the 9th who was in Montreal for the presentation of the first Cana- dair regional jet to Lufthansa Cityline airlines.\u201cYou have to wait until the end of the game and that\u2019s what we're doing this week.\u201d Earlier, Bourassa gave no sign of letting up one week from voting day despite continuing bad results in the polls for his Yes side.An unusually aggressive Bourassa gave a fiery defence of the national unity deal on a open-line television program that is watched by almost 700,000 Quebecers daily.He repeated his warnings of political and economic instability if the Charlottetown agreement is defeated.\u201cWe hve enough economic and political problems in Quebec without creating uncertainty that will make it worse.\u201d And he continued to portray his opponents on the No side in the Quebec campaign \u2014 Parti See BOURASSA Page 2 Quick appeal on Quebecers\u2019 vote \u2014 Page 2 rault in an interview Monday.\u201cCan you believe it?1 was amazed when 1 looked at the figures.\u201d Growth in all the older age groups was rapid \u2014 the num- rendum day.On Monday, Parizeau spent most of his time calling on Que- becers and their government to link arms to pull the economy out of the doldrums after the vote.\u2018\u2018Maybe our politicians, after a resounding No, can use the time they\u2019ve got left before their elections to do something about the economy,\u201d he said during a visit to a small pharmaceuticals factory in this community south of Montreal.\u201cThat is what I, and a few million other people, expect from them.\u201d Parizeau said this could be accomplished by giving the Constitution a sharp shove on to the back burner.\u201cEnough of this sterile debate,\u201d he said.\u2018\u2018Discussing things like the Senate is about as relevant as discussing what sex angels are.\u201d Entering the last week of the campaign, Parizeau seemed to be coasting to a win rather than gearing up for a last sprint.While he and his handlers deny his schedule is lighter, Pari- zeau appears to have reduced his activities at a time when Yes campaigners are switching into overdrive.Compared to the four or five appearances he made daily in the early days of the campaign, those following him say his new pace is positively leisurely.But Parizeau said Monday his schedule just reflects the serene approach he is advocating.\u2018\u2018Maybe it shouldn\u2019t be a sprint in the final days.Maybe one should underline the fact that common sense, realism, lucidity are all on

researchers believe that the population of centenarians will increase exponentially in the next century, as advances in biotechnology allow people to reach 120 years of age or more.Others say gains in

\u2018Monday.Oscar Alberto Ramirez Du- rand, known as Comrade Feli- .ciano, was detained Saturday \u2018night along with another Shining Path leader, Marta Hua- tay, and five others in a raid on :a home in the Pueblo Libre district, said a source in the attorney general\u2019s office.«Ramirez has been described by President Alberto Fujimori War as he took part in the last of three presidential debates Monday.Bush responded to attacks by independent candidate Ross Perot and Democratic front- killer comrade No.2 as the third most important leader of the Maoist group and the possible suecessor to Guzman, who was arrested last month with his deputy, Elena Iparraguirre.Fujimori, however, said after the capture that Ramirez had neither the political formation nor leadership capacities of

admit havent helped the president give voters a reason to return him to office.Polls suggest that if an election were held today instead of Nov.3, Clinton would win with a landslide.Instead, Bush criticized Clinton for his record as governor of a small, rural state that is \u201clast in everything.\u201d Perot took the character questions from journalists who asked about his campaign and reports he investigated opponents.Denying he was a quitter or a snoop.Perot cited his work with the Republican White House investigating the fate of U.S.prisoners from the Vietnam

and my family and I decided we would stay the course.\u201d Perot did not elaborate.On trade, Perot repeated his opposition to the deal with Mexico and Canada he said would send jobs south.Clinton said he wants parallel agreements to ensure worker retraining for those who lose jobs because of the deal and environmental and worker protection.The president provoked laughter from the audience when he responded to moderator Jim Lehrer\u2019s notice he had only one minute left.\u201cThat's what I'm afraid of,\u201d he said. 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, October 20, 1992 Waterville T.G.plant 1s

positive model for other businesses by its approach to systematically eradicating the dangers and risks at work.\u201d he said after the tour.The decrease in the number of work\u2014related accidents or injuries this year proved that programs to improve conditions in factories were necessary, he said.The number of work-related injures at the plant dropped from 222 in 1991 to 63 for 1992, said the plant\u2019s production manager, Daniel Belair.That number will likely increase by only 20 by the end of the year, he added.The plant started machine safety standardization in 1990, and in 1991 it set up a plant safety committee that monitored and organized safety measures within the plant, Belair said.\u201cI think it\u2019s working because we don\u2019t separate in the minds of employees rules and prevention,\u201d he said.Instead, employees and employers took a team approach, working together to implement the major changes in working conditions.The plant still has other major changes to implement, and more employees are becoming interested all the time, Belair said.\u201cThe best protection for the employee is himself,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we haven't been able to make them all aware of that.\u201d Efforts to improve working conditions are continuing because we can\u2019t solve eliminate every possible cause (of injuries) right away,\u201d he said.\u201cWe had to prioritize.\u201d The increased cost to the company to improve safety standards is worth it, Belair said.He added that capital investments were continuing to come in, making further upgrades possible.Belair said days lost in the company added up to 3700 in 1990 because of work-related injuries.That was compared to only 800 days in 1992.The improvements were also necessary to bring Quebec industries up to par with the industrial safety standards in the rest of North America.Diamant added.Employees and employers have to work together to continue improving work security, Diamant added.\u201cWe must find solutions by working together to face the music.\u201d Diamant helped kick off Le Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke\u2019s health and work security week earlier

requires only that people be Canadian citizens.A lower court judge ruled last Thursday that new Quebec residents can\u2019t cast ballots in the national vote.The court of appeal agreed to a quick

\u2014 not Cha- rest, not Gérin, and certainly not the voters seeking answers on the complicated Charlottetown constitutional accord.François Gérin\u2026 \u2018You can\u2019t blame people for being confused.\u2019 Instead, members of the Rock Forest, St-Elie and Deau- ville chambers of commerce witnessed an argument on exactly when Bloc Québécois MP Gérin decided to defect from the Conservative party to become an independent, sove- reigntist MP.Former Tory clleague Cha- rest accused Gérin of making his move toward sovereignty in mid-February 1990, long before the Meech Lake accord failed and a House of Commons committee chaired by Charest came up with recommendations Gérin says accepted much less than Quebec\u2019s minimal demands to become a signing partner in Canada\u2019s constitution.\u201cThe minimum was no longer a minimum, everything was up for negotiation,\u201d said Gérin, who said he met with Parti Québécois vice-president Bernard Landry and others around the end of March 1990.Shortly later, he was the first to leave the Conservatives and sit as an independent MP.The former allies, who sat together in the House of Commons and who fought side- by-side against independence in the 1980 referendum, each accused the other of double talk.Gérin said that Charest, his leader Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Premier Robert Bourassa are saying different things now than they did before the Charlottetown accord.\u201cWe\u2019ve discovered they no longer agree with positions they took during Meech Lake,\u201d he said, accusing the men of accepting much less than Quebec needs to control its own culture and economy.Charest said the real double talk comes from sovereigntists who criticize the deal although they would accept nothing which reconfirms federalism.He accused Gérin of being insincere.Gérin replied that he campaigned for federalism in the 1980 referendum, joined the Tories and believed in Mulroney\u2019s promise to return Quebec to the constitution \u201cwith honor and dignity\u201d during the 1984 federal election campaign, and fought for Meech Lake.Gérin said he also agreed with the Bélanger Campeau and Allaire reports, which

Monday.Larose, who heads Quebec's Confederation of National Trade Unions, gave a crowd of about 50 people a glimpse at his vision of the future, should the No side win the Oct.26 referendum.A No, he hinted, could put the province on the road to deciding its own fate once and for all.\u201cThe people will say No,\u201d La- rose predicted.\u201cWhy?We have a project before us.\u201d :

By Dan Hawaleshka LENNOXVILLE \u2014 A wet- weather sewage problem here ~ will see an unexpected $42,000 of taxpayers\u2019 money flushed down the town\u2019s toilets this year.The problem is Lennoxville produces more raw sewage than was originally predicted by engineers planning metropolitan Sherbrooke\u2019s new sewage treatment plant.It\u2019s not that Lennoxville residents use the bathroom more than others do.It\u2019s because many buildings in town funnel rain water and melting snow from their roofs through drain pipes which eventually connect with those carrying sewage to the treatment plant.That not only increases Len- noxville\u2019s sewage volume \u2014 and costs \u2014 but also violates a town bylaw which outlaws connecting drain pipes to sewage lines.The town now wants property owners to renovate their buildings in order to divert excess water to street sewers, which are in many cases \u2014 but not all \u2014 separate from those which carry sewage.\u201cYou're not allowed to have your rain water drain into the sewage system,\u201d Lennoxville councillor David Price said in an interview.If the renovations aren\u2019t done, the town may have to get tough with owners, which could go as far as taking them to court.\u201cThey\u2019ll either have to do it or we'll take proceedings,\u201d said Price, who acknowledged that New sewage plant\u2019s bugs are for real SHERBROOKE (DH) \u2014 After about a year in operation, Sherbrooke\u2019s $90 million sewage treatment plant still has : a few bugs in it.! The latest unwanted critter \u2014 a pesky bacterium \u2014 is clogging the plants \u201cbiological fil- i ters\u201d, where friendly bacteria breed to consume organic \u2018waste generated by the 125,000 people the treatment centre serves.The unwanted microbes + disrupt the work of the bacteria which are supposed to be there.\u201cIt\u2019s like a car burning oil \u2014 i you have to keep an eye on it,\u201d says Richard Mercure, the chiel engineer who oversaw construction of the plant.Mercure said Thursday the wild bacteria problem isn\u2019t \u201ccatastrophic\u201d and amounts to the \u201cfine tuning\u201d he predicted would be necessary when the plant opened last year.CULPRIT The bacterial culprit, identified by the plant\u2019s quality control staff, appears in other similar sewage plants, only the problem is more acute in Sherbrooke.\u201cWhy they develop \u2014 for the moment \u2014 is a mystery,\u201d Mercure said.\u201cWe're working on a agreement for the coming months in order to find a solution to this.\u201d Part of that search includes the Montreal-based John Meunier Inc., the company which sold the Sherbrooke plant its biological filters.The operational glitch means water discharged into the St.Francis River isn\u2019t as clean as it should be, but still comes in under requirements laid out by Quebec\u2019s Environment Ministry, Mercure said.LITTLE COST Costs for correcting the problem, he said, represent \u201cno large sum.\u201d The sewage plant serves Sherbrooke, Rock Forest, Len- noxville, Ascot and Fleuri- mont, and is overseen by the Régie d'assainissement des eaux de la région sherbroo- koise (RAER).Fleurimont mayor Julien Ducharme.RAER\u2019s vice president, acknowledges that \u201cthere have been problems.\u201d Ducharme sides with Mercure and points out that \u201cit's only been a year since the plant\u2019s been working.\u201d The Sherbrooke sewage treatment will hold an open house Oct.24.between 10 a.m.and 4 p.m.and again on Oct.25, between noon and 4.All are welcome.owners of buildings with expensive work to be done may get more time to do the required work.The cost of treating Lennox- ville waste is based in part on the volume sent to the plant in north Sherbrooke, which also treats waste from Fleurimont, Rock Forest and Ascot.The more sewage, the more it costs.But instead of accounting for 5.3 per cent of the plant\u2019s total waste, as was predicted, Len- noxville\u2019s share has increased to 6.47 per cent due to homes which fail to meet town standards.That increase is based on the first six months of 1992, so the cost overrun could be higher or lower than forecast, Price said.TOWN GUILTY TOO But Price, who heads Len- noxville\u2019s Public Works committee, admits the town shares responsibility for upping waste volume.Some street sewer lines still carry both sewage and runoff water.The bottom line is that Len- noxville\u2019s town sewage budget for 1992 will swell from $195,000 to about $237,000 for 1992, Price said.Fortunately, he added, this year\u2019s $42,000 overrun will bè softened by a town budget surplus, which will slash the unexpected expense to $22,000.Either way, Price said, Len noxville will pay more thah was first predicted, and the proposed 1993 budget for sewage will climb from $195, 00D to $221, 000.Hag als You\u2019 re not allowéd to have your rain water drain into Jhe sewage.\u2019 David Price. 4+\u2014The RECORD\u2014 Tuesday, October 20, 1992 / the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 - I went to the advance poll for the referendum, because in our business next Monday will be pretty hectic.I voted Yes.\"Why did I vote Yes to the Charlottetown accord?Because /N mis; 00e + biculturalism became law and more Canadians wished to bring the BNA Act etc.into the times.In 1981 nine provinces managed to agree to a new constitution \u2014 but the deal left out Quebec.In Thus many Canadians are now hollering that they didn\u2019t get exactly what they wanted in the Charlottetown deal.It\u2019s not completely perfect for me, it's too much, or it\u2019s not enough.so new constitutional proposal followed massive public consultation.It means that for the first time since the 1930s.the leaders of all provinces agreed on what Canadians think their country it was there.By 22 5d 1982 the Queen came over and therefore it must be bad.These should be like.It means that for It was more than 30 years ago Charles A signed it.Like most QuebecersI people are determined to the first time in decades, Cana- that I first started wondering Bury : was a bit sad that day.We we- always want more.Many of da\u2019s leaders agree on some new about the Canadian constitu- » ren\u2019t part of it.them will vote No.directions the country should tion.At that time I was a chubby high school student with an attitude.: 1 combined a dental appointment with an afternoon of cruising bookshops on Ste.Catherine Street in Montreal.I stumbled across the Queen\u2019s Printer store and wandered inside.Most government books had pretty much the same cover in those days \u2014 plain cloth \u2014 so it was a hard shop to go through.But I came across a thick brown volume which if I recall was called The British North America Act and Subsequent Constitutional Legislation in Canada.It had been more than 25 years since the last changes, and the book Still cost a Depression price of $3.I bought the book, and actually read the BNA Act etc.This was mainly to get back at a history teacher I didn\u2019t like.I figured the best way to conquer him was to know his subject better than he did.It actually worked, although my academic career continued to slide downhill.Today I can\u2019t remember all the details, but Canada\u2019s constitutional growth has always been an extra slow, cautious process.A few town squares and country roads may have been bloodied with rage along the way, but the official marriage of New France to the British colonial interests was a cool and choreographed embrace.The Earth didn\u2019t move.Later on the same was true as a growing Canada shed the skin of Empire \u2014 alittle bit at a time.But by the 1930s the shedding seemed to stop.Little changed until the late \u201950s and early \u201960s, when French Canada started scratching some remaining itchy spots.By the 1970s bilingualism and Again like most Quebecers, I hoped Meech Lake would wrap things up for now.It was a simple text, about ten pages, with five major points.All ten provinces and Ottawa agreed.Or so we thought.Then it collapsed.Meech Lake was all too simple, Canadians complained.There was too much in it for others, but nothing in it for me.Our leaders went to the listening board, with all kinds of consultations, before trying to re-write the constitution again.This time the country addressed the whole question \u2014 native rights, the Senate, provincial and federal powers \u2014 and not only Quebec\u2019s concerns.And they came back with just what we asked them for: something for everyone.From there the problem was two-fold: Collective greed and collective self-pity.First, something for everyone means everything for no one.Second, we are living in a time when it\u2019s fashionable to blame whatever goes wrong on the politicians.Thus many Canadians are now hollering that if so-and- so had anything to do with the accord.then it is bad because he is bad, and anything he touches must therefore be bad.These people, who themselves choose the leaders they love to hate, feel oh, so sorry for themselves as a result.Many of them will vote No.But not all Canadians share those views.Many.myself among them, are more optimistic.They think the Charlottetown deal is a solid compromise.They realize that any single group in society can never get everything it wants.And they are prepared to look at the accord in terms of what it means and not just who prepared it.What does it mean?It means that for the first time ever.the take.Canadians were asked what kind of constitution they wanted, and they replied.The result is the Charlottetown Accord.Why did I vote for the Charlottetown Accord?Because it's there.Because after 30 years of watching, I haven't seen anything nearly this close to a national consensus for changes to the constitution.Because If Clyde Wells and Robert Bourassa both think it\u2019s a good deal, it can\u2019t be too radical.Because if Jean Chrétien and Ovide Mercredi both think it\u2019s a good deal, it can\u2019t be too oppressive.Because if Bob Rae and Brian Mulroney think it\u2019s a good deal.the Earth won\u2019t move.Put all that together and it seems to me you have a suitable update to the BNA Act etc.And maybe, just maybe, if the deal goes through, we can think aboutother things for the next 30 years.\u201chis Final bribe.Letters Thanks to all: I sure have had fun organizing the 1992 Children\u2019s Activities for Townshippers Day.held on Sept.19 in Richmond.The end result

Steel my soldiers\u2019 hearts!\u201d\u2019 On another wall was a photograph of Rommel.The Alamein battlefield was 60 kilometres of featureless desert.bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea and on the south by the quicksands of the Qattara Depression.At stake was the German dream of capturing the Suez Canal and the rich Arabian oil fields at the end of thir victorious sweep across 2,400 kilometres of North Africa.British and Commonwealth soldiers had been dug in at Ala- mein since July.Five million German mines, \u2018\u2018the Devil's Garden,\u201d protected Rommel's forces against infiltration.Montgomery arrived on Aug.13 and told his men: \u201cIf Ala- mein is lost, Egypt is lost.If we cannot stay at Alamein alive, we will stay there dead.\u201d Howe, the American, said Montgomery was \u2018\u2018mesmerizing,\u201d and \u2018\u2018always told the men they must forge ahead, but if they don't make it, the ones behind will.\u201d Sometimes, the general would pass in his tank and throw cartons of cigarettes to the soldiers, Howe said.Montgomery neither drank nor smoked.It was a hard time for the men.\u2018\u2018The flies were terrible.the heat was awful,\u201d Howe said.\u201cThere were always skirmishes, somebody always dying.\u201d \u2018\u201cWell, you get used to anything, I guess,\u2019 said Leve- son, the British tank crewman.\u2018\u201cWe poured tea for each other.\u201d They lived on crackers and canned beef, fried eggs on their tanks, swatted flies and killed scorpions, sometimes snakes.The first battle of Alamein was an Axis attack on Aug.30 at Alam El-Halfa.Rommel withdrew four days later.Worthington, the former British foot soldier, said it was common knowledge among the troops that Prime Minister Winston Churchill became impatient after that.\u2018He wanted to go on in, but Montgomery wanted everything in place.\u201d Worthington said.Equipment moved toward the front, dummy tanks were brought in and leaves were cancelled.U.S.-made Grant and Sherman tanks crunched through the desert.I don\u2019t know what we'd have done without those American tanks.\u201d\u201d Worthington said.Rommel went to Austria late in September to recuperate from an illness.He returned on Oct.25.Commonwealth forces had 530 flyable aircraft.the Axis 340.They had 939 tanks in the forward area to Rommel's 548.His included Italian machines known as \u2018self-propelled coffins.\u2019 The count of Allied fighting men was 210.000, well-supplied with ammunition and fuel.against 180.000 Germans and Italians with artillery.but little gasoline for their tanks.Fighting was fierce the first two days.The New Zealand Division, 9th Australian Division and Britain's 1st Armored Division and the Rifle Brigade bore the brunt.Both sides suffered heavy casualties around Kidney Ridge.a key position.Although Montgomery lost 200 tanks, he launched Operation Supercharge on Nov.1.By the next day.Rommel had only 30 tanks left.On Nov.4, Rommel disregar-

would lead to a strong recovery.And for the third year, a strong recovery still remains elusive.Technically, the size of the economy has increased slightly since spring 1991.But the growth has been too weak to stop waves of layoffs, as another 143,000 people lost Good times warns bank By Murray Oxby TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Approval of the Charlottetown accord will help the economy, but it doesn\u2019t mean \u2018\u2018the good times will start to roll,\u201d the head of Zanada\u2019s third-largest bank said Monday.Là ' Matthew Barrett, chairman f the Bank of Montreal, urged zanadians to support the :onstitutional reform package, saying rejecting it would give a y00st to Quebec separatism and prolong uncertainty over the country\u2019s future.\u201cDon\u2019t misunderstand me,\u201d he added.\u201cI don\u2019t think for a moment that a Yes vote means that the good times will start to roll at 9 a.m.on Oct.27.\u201d It will, however, reassure foreign investors and stabilize the dollar, which will allow interest rates to decline, the banker told the C.D.Howe Institute, an economic think-tank.The Bank of Canada forced up interest rates late last month to protect the dollar, which fell a full cent US in less than a week.Banks hiked their prime lending rates two percentage points Oct.1.But Barrett was reluctant to dwell on the economic fallout of a No vote, saying it\u2019s difficult to decide what significance rejection of the accord would have.\u201cMy own view is that apocalypse will not happen, but we will have continuing uncertainty and that\u2019s

response to a question.Barrett's cautious approach was a contrast to a tough- minded Royal Bank report released at the end of September.That report said Quebec separation would cost each citizen $4,000, put 720,000 people out of work and cause more than one million to move to the United States.The release of the report was sharply condemned by No supporters as scare-mongering.Barrett noted the Royal Bank report discussed the consequences of separation, not a Yes or No vote.\u201cI think it was misunderstood .It was just putting flesh to one scenario that has a possibility of unfolding.\u201d Barrett said the accord should be approved because it has significantly more benefits than drawbacks when taken as a whole.\u201cWe are so busy examining the knotholes, that we never see the tree,\u201d he said.\u2018\u201cReading with an open mind, you can see in the accord a credible and laudable attempt to develop a leading-edge design for a truly democratic, pluralist society.\u201d He also ridiculed the suggestion a No vote would bring constitutional peace.\u201cWe simply cannot turn the constitutional debate off as if it were a dripping tap.\u201d Distributing makes best of recession Consumer\u2019s Distributing is making the best of a bad situation, according to the manager of the newest store in the national chain of catalogue-sales outlets.Eric Magnan, manager of the second Sherbrooke branch said the company is able to do better than many others during the recession.It is even able to expand, and the opening of the new Sherbrooke store Oct.15 is evidence of that.\u201cWe feel it, you can\u2019t say we don\u2019t,\u201d Magnan said Monday.\u201cBut we're doing well\u201d because of lower overhead and lower = prices.\u201cWe always do pretty well during a recession.\u201d The company decided \u201cSherbrooke is big enough for a second store,\u201d Magnan said, \u201cand we wanted to respond to the need\u2019s of people\u201d in the eastern part of the city.The new store is in the Galerie Quatre Saisons at 930 13th Ave.N.The existing outlet is in the Carrefour de l\u2019Estrie.MIVA, wis nate PORTICIPACTION S 8 N S 5 IS = Farm and Business conditions in a decision last June which allowed Unitel into the long distance market.The Canadian Radio- television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) handed down a historic ruling on June 12 which allowed Uni- tel, BC Rail Communications, Call-Net, Cam-Net and other telephone firms to get into the lucrative $7.5 billion annual long-distance market.However, led by Bell Canada, the old telephone monopolies appealed the ruling to the federal court last week \u2014 arguing that the CRTC was asking them to pay too high a cost to allow the new competitors to plug into their systems.The figure used by Bell lawyers was $240 million.As a result.Unitel is not exactly an instant phone service because customers must push 17 digits on their telephones before being able to dial the long distance number they want.\u2018We hope to have this confusion cleared up by Christmas,\u201d said Stursberg.\u201cEverybody is angry about Bell and the other monopolies dragging their feet on open competition in the long- distance market.\u201d The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, October 20, 1992\u20145 : Record Unitel long-distance service off to slow start In fact, the president of the Quebec Consumers\u2019 Association.Nicole Lemire.attacked Bell on Monday for threatening residential users \u2014 by claiming local phone rates will go up if the government allows competition on long-distance calls.\u201cOne should remember that.in breaking Bell\u2019s monopoly.the CRTC promised to protect small consumers.\u201d said Le- mire.\u201cThey had better keep their promise.\u201d For its part, Bell Canada argued Monday that it has nothing against competition.It just feels it didn't get a fair deal in the CRTC decision.\u2018What people don't seem to realize is that Bell has used the .profitable long-distance : market for years to subsidize the cost of local calls.\u201d said: : Bell's vice-president of regula-: : tory affairs.Bernard Courtois.: Courtois admitted Bell Cana-.: da made a $986-million net profit last year which might be.: used to subsidize local phone\u2019 : rates.But he argued that money\u2019 \u2019 \u201cbelongs to Bell shareholders and the CRTC has no right to take these profits out of their pockets.\u201d no matter who wins the referendum miers held two meetings last winter without reaching any agreement on spending taxpayers\u2019 money to stimulate the economy.In his February budget, Ma- zankowski concluded: \u2018\u2018The Canadian economy will soon respond to the positive conditions now in place for recovery.\u201d But eight months later, the economy remains weak and 1.6 million people are looking for work.The federal government wasn\u2019t alone in underestimating how long it would take for Canada to shake off the recession.Federal budget forecasts generally represent the consensus view of private- sector economists.Debate and confusion about the country\u2019s constitutional future have also hurt economic recovery, as companies put investment plans on hold pending the referendum\u2019s outcome.During the campaign, the Yes forces have argued that accepting the Charlottetown accord would remove damaging uncertainty and allow pgliti- cians to focus all their attention on boosting the economy.The No forces have said rejecting the accord would put constitutional issues on the back burner and allow politicians to concentrate on the economy.Either way, getting people back to work will probably be politicians\u2019 top priority once the referendum results are out of the way next week.Federal and provincial governments are already trying to iron out details of a $7.5- billion plan to build and widen highways across the country.New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna criticized Bob Rae last weekend for \u2018\u2018unprecedented parochialism\u2019 for delaying the program with demands that more highway work be done in Ontario.A quick meeting of the prime minister and premiers after the referendum might put the finishing touches on the highway program and demonstrate that they're turning their attention to economic issues.One federal official notes that spending government money on such projects is one of the quickest ways to stimulate economic activity and get construction workers back on the job.Once the referendum is over \u2014 and with a federal election coming before the end of 1993 \u2014 the Conservative government may be in a hurry to get thé ailing economy fixed.The predictions vs.the reality | By The Canadian Press The federal government predicted a strong recovery in

# 6 Trick-one blues strike again By Phillip Alder The other day a friend asked me to give him one simple tip for improving his game.My immediate reaction was to recommend counting all the hands.But that isn\u2019t such a \u201csimple\u201d tip: It requires a conscious effort by the player.Instead, I said: \u201cAlways take time when the dummy comes down.Don\u2019t play to the first trick \u2014 either as declarer or as third hand \u2014 until you have formed a plan and considered the possible dangers.\u201d I sat and watched my friend play a few deals.The one given in today\u2019s diagram pleased both of us.Against my friend's contract of three no-trump, West led his fourth- highest spade.The contract looked too easy, with two spade, five diamond and two club tricks ready to roll.But with the actual distribution, if declarer follows the normal dictum and immediately plays second hand low, the contract should die.East puts in the spade nine, forcing South\u2019s jack.Two top diamonds reveal the 4-1 split and South suddenly realizes that he has no hand entry to take the marked diamond finesse.If South leads the spade u king from the dummy, West withholds his ace.However, my friend was still think- NORTH 10-20-92 ing.Eventually he saw the solution.A @K54 He called for the spade king from the V842 dummy.After it held the trick, he ¢AKQ104 cashed two top diamonds.When the +AK bad break was revealed, he smiled.WEST EAST Now South calmly led another spade #A10763 92 himself.West couldn\u2019t stop my friend VAI ŸK10753 from winning a spade trick in his hand, #J853 #9 taking the marked diamond finesse #&103 #Q9764 and making his contract.Readers are invited to send card-play ques- SOUTH tions to Phillip Alder, in care of this newspaper.$QI8 They can be answered

(Sept.23-Oct.23) Don't be stingy with friends today, but, by the same token, be careful about lending money to a pal who has yet to repay a previous debt.You'll feel foolish if history repeats

of your opposition or obstacles.Don\u2019t go in kidding yourseif.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) You might let your intuition take precedence over your iogic and intellect today, rather than the other way around.This may Record Thelma Wright Advertising Consultant Tel: 819-569-9525 Fax: 819-569-3945 not work out too well.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) A situation you're presently involved in might undergo some unexpected changes today.Instead of bucking the tide, try to flow with events.It will make the transition easier.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Usually, you're pretty good at dealing with individuals on a one-to-one basis, but this could be your short suit today.Don't rock the boat in your relationships.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Work could be doubly difficult for you today, owing to a negative attitude or improper pianning.Think positively and draw up a set of blueprints before attempting tasks.ARIES (March 21-April 19) if your expectations are not founded upon realistic factors, disappointments couid occur today.Putting in a little and hoping to get back a lot is a formula for shattered dreams.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You and your mate might reach an impasse today on an issue you both feel is significant.Confrontation can be avoided \u2014 if you let it rest for a few days.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Before putting down the suggestions of others today, be certain you know what you're talking about.Your thoughts might appear equally as impractical to them.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Strive to be prudent in the management of your resources today.This is not a propitious time for extravagant shopping or reckless financial investing.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Upon occasion, you can juggle several projects simuita- neously and do a reasonably good job.However, it\u2019s best you stick to one thing today and dedicate yourself to doing that well.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) If you participate in gossip today, don't be surprised later to learn you have been talked about by others as
