Sheppard OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Liberal government faced critics Monday over the costs of travel by ministers and backbenchers alike.Liberal whip Alfonso Gagliano admitted \u2014 despite earlier threats to the contrary \u2014 he does not have the authority to demand refunds from parliamentarians who travelled to Paris last March.And Reform MPs said cabinet ministers are wasting taxpayers\u2019 money by renting expensive charter planes and leaving the government\u2019s VIP jet fleet on the ground.After protests from Bloc Québécois MP Madeleine Dalphond- Guiral, Tory Senator Gérald Beaudoin and Liberal Senator Eymard Corbin \u2014 who travelled to Paris against his wishes \u2014 Gagliano says now he only has approval authority over Liberal MPs.But as the man given the task of overhauling the Commons budget \u2014 including that of the Parliamentary Associations Secretariat \u2014 Gagliano says he is going to ensure there is a better system of controls on the trips in future.Last March Gagliano said he only approved the attendance of Liberal MP Martin Cauchon, than president of the association, because it was an organizing meeting for a conference the association will hold in Canada in July.He said the meeting only required the attendance of one and he would demand the others justify their attendance.If they could not, he might seek a refund.Gagliano\u2019s threats left the three fuming.All three had approval from their party and senate whips to attend, as well as the executive of the association, headed by Cauchon.Gagliano says he stands by his original assessment.\u201cI didn\u2019t agree with the executive \u2014 but the executive made a decision to go with that trip and they went.\u201d Gagliano promised action.\u201c- Now there is a subcommittee (studying) the rules, the structure of all the associations.You have to wait and see.we'll have a final policy report.\u201d The fuss brings into question what controls are at play on the trips, criticized by some as junkets to warm climates at taxpayers\u2019 expense.Meanwhile Reformers complained in the House Monday that some cabinet ministers are chartering private flights to avoid controversy over using Defence Department Challenger jets.But the government said the allegation is incorrect because it is based at least in part on a faulty Reform translation of an interview Defence Minister David Collenette gave in French.squawk The interview was broadcast last Thursday on the Radio- Canada television program Le Point.A transcript from the show quoted Collenette as saying he thought \u201cmaybe some ministers have rented private aircraft\u2019 to perform their duties rather than use the controversial Challenger jets.Collenette suggested there was great political pressure not to use the Challengers because of a long-running controversy over their cost.Reform MP Deborah Grey seized on the remarks Monday in the Commons to accuse cabinet ministers of choosing \u201cthe most expensive option imaginable \u2014 renting an aircraft while still maintaining the Challenger jets See TRAVEL Page 2 A cheap date: By Linda Drouin OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 When

president of South Africa on Monday.To delirious cheers, he accepted his people\u2019s salute from the same balcony where he spoke after emerging from prison four years ago.Grown men cried and white

apartheid to democracy.In a show of reconciliation, Mandela and his main black rival, Zulu nationalist leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi, hugged and shook hands.But things were less friendly when Mandela and his estranged wife, Winnie, took the parliamentary oath together with eight others as new members of the National Assembly.He never looked at her nor acknowledged her presence, even when she sat next to him.The snub showed the extent of Winnie Mandela's exclusion from the inner circle of African National Congress leaders, despite her popularity among militants.The couple had been married for 34 years when they separated in 1992 after Winnie Mandela was convicted of kidnapping and linked to an extramarital affair.Departing President F.W.de Klerk, with whom Mandela shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of apartheid, was among those cheering the man who bested him in the country\u2019s first multiracial elections.Mandela will assume power Tuesday at his inauguration in Pretoria.About 150,000 people are expected at the inauguration in the country\u2019s administrative capital.Deputy Prime Minister \u2018Stakes remain unclear\u2019 .PQ platform muddle QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Former Parti Québécois premier Pierre Marc Johnson said Monday it is deplorable that the issue of sovereignty should remain muddled on the eve of a provincial election.\u201cI find it regrettable that the stakes remain unclear this close to an election,\u201d Johnson said.\u201cIt is the responsibility of political parties to clarify these stakes.\u201cSometimes, one has had the impression that the march toward Quebec independence would get under way following the election but it seems otherwise since Sunday,\u201d said Johnson, who was premier for two months in late 1985.He was referring to PQ Leader Jacques Parizeau\u2019s weekend statement that a PQ government would stick to its original plan and hold a referendum on sovereignty eight to 10 months after taking power.Parizeau had recently floated MOHAWKS: Continued from page one have to act as agents of the government and collect taxes on products sold on the reserve.\u201cWe don\u2019t pay the tax, and we -

Premier Daniel Johnson, want the election debate to focus on their achievements.Asked whether he would get involved in the campaign, Pierre Marc answered enigmatically: \u201cThat will depend.\u201d Speaking to reporters on Monday after addressing a conference as guest speaker, Johnson said Parizeau faces the same dilemma faced by former PQ premier René Lévesque.The dilemma hinges on the interpretation given to an eventual PQ electoral victory.Does it signal the beginning of a process leading to an independent Quebec, or is it simply the election of a political party mandated to provide \u201cgood government?\u201d Johnson asked.that reserve gas stations owe more than $3 million in back taxes.By not charging tax, Kahna- wake stations are able to sell gas at prices as much as

minister has no knowledge or evidence that ministers have chartered private planes rather than use the Challengers.Grey reiterated her party's demand that the government sell the VIP fleet and force cabinet ministers to use commercial aircraft.Fellow Reformer Myron Thompson, a frequent critic of the Challenger fleet, accused ministers of doing \u201cridiculous things\u201d by chartering private planes while the six Challengers remain in their hangars.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien dismissed Grey\u2019s allegations, saying Reform MPs are \u201ctrying to have it both ways.\u201d He noted Reform

\u2014 Defence lawyers sought more specific details Monday of charges against a senior paratroop officer as another court martial began in the death of a Somali teenager.Maj.Tony Seward is charged with unlawfully causing bodily harm and negligent performance of duty in the death of Shidane Abukar Arone, killed by Canadian soldiers in Somalia in March 1993.Capt.Roger Strum, one of Seward\u2019s

female officer under his command will learn today if his court martial will proceed.Judge Advocate Col.Guy Brais is to rule on a defence challenge of the selection of the five- member tribunal that was to start hearing the case against Col.Roméo Lalonde on Monday.Lalonde, 54, who led Canadian air forces during the 1991 conflict, has pleaded not guilty to proper defence.What, asked Strum, did Seward do (or not do) to cause such bodily harm?The negligence charges allege that Seward told his soldiers they could \u201cabuse\u201d prisoners in their custody.That allegation is not specified in

officer, said the one count of sexual assault and two counts of sexual harassment against a 29-year-old air force captain.The events were alleged to have occured in March 1991 in Qatar, where Canadian

Geographic article said 20 of the 53 documented attacks by cougars between 1890 and 1990 occurred on Vancouver Island.But Vancouver Island cougar experts say the number of attacks is high only because

April 15 article \u201cFox population blamed for rabies outbreak\u201d, your major source, Agriculture Canada veterinarian Dr.Claude Pigeon, is evidently neither a rabies expert nor as up to date as he might be concerning rabies control measures.His view that rabies is associated with the decline of trapping is more or less the party line among government wildlife managers, whose jobs often depend to some extent upon trapping licence sales and pelt royalties.However, public health experts are of a different opinion.For instance, the highly conservative U.S.National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians reported in the January 15, 1994 edition of the Journal of the American Veterinary Association that \u201c- Continuous and persistent government-funded programs for trapping or poisoning wildlife are not cost effective in reducing wildlife rabies reservoirs on a statewide basis.\u201d The passage specifies government funded programs and the cost-effectiveness issue because these are the purview of the NASPHV, which is not concerned with recreational hunting and trapping.Otherwise it is substantially identical to the position of rabies expert Dr.William Winkler, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: \u201cPersistent trapping or poisoning campaigns as a means to rabies control should be abolished.Commentary By Merritt Clifton There is no evidence that these costly and politically attractive programs reduce either wildlife reservoirs or rabies incidence.\u201d In fact, the weight of evidence from rabies outbreaks both in\u2019 the U.S.and around the world is that healthy wildlife populations discourage invasion by diseased outsiders.This occurs because animals generally migrate in search of either mates or food.The animals who occupy a particular habitat mark the boundaries \u2014 either overtly, with scentposts and scratchings, or by simply eating the easily available food.Other animals who meet these signs usually go the other way.Even in the latent stage of rabies, most furbearing animals tend to observe the protocol of their species to this extent.Their behavior markedly changes only in the aggressive stage, by which time their mobility is restricted and most victims simply want to find a cool, dark place to die.The transmission of rabies occurs when animals in the latent stage of the disease are driven beyond their normal range, which can happen for a variety of reasons.Intense hunting pressure in the home range is one such reason; habitat destruction is another; competition from another species is yet another.Overpopulation per-se would not be likely with a predator such as a fox, since the growth of the predator population depends upon the availability of prey.If you had a population explosion of rabbits one year, you might get a populaion explosion of foxes the next.You would not get an overpopulation of foxes if prey became scarce, since foxes (and coyotes) regulate their litter size in response to food availability.This intense hunting and trapping of foxes (and coyotes) typically does not diminish their numbers appreciably from one year to the next.The reduced competition for food during the winter simply enable the surviving vixen to bear up to 50 per cent more young the following spring.(You needn\u2019t take my word for it \u2014 the dynamics are explained in many common field guides and other books about wildlife.) Meanwhile, an oral vaccine distributed in bait balls has been used successfully against fox rabies in many parts of Europe for more than 15 years.For example, France had 2,984 cases of rabies in 1990 and Germany had 5,572.They collaborated to attack rabies via the oral vaccine, and last year France had only 261 cases of rabies while Germany had just 853.Impressed, the World Health Organization of April 19 began a 10-nation, two-year drive to eradicate rabies from Europe altogether.Longtime former RECORD contributor Merritt Clifton is now editor of Animal People, News for People Who Care about

Will rise in housing starts become a trend?By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Construction of new single-family housing units surged to a 16-month high in April, but some analysts think rising interest rates will dampen that building pace.Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.said Monday that monthly housing construction rose 5.9 per cent in April \u2014 after a 2.4 per cent drop in March \u2014 while single-family units under construction, or starts as they're known, rose 19.3 per cent from March.CMHC reports housing construction in figures adjusted to remove seasonal variations and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels.Total housing starts reached 158,000 seasonally adjusted and annualized units in April, up from 149,200 on the same basis in March.Single-detached home construction rose 19.3 per cent to 75,400 units in April from 63,200 Ontario in the lead: OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 New housing construction in Canada rose in April.Figures from the provinces with March figure in brackets: ONTARIO: Jumps to 43,700 (34,500).Single starts were at their highest level since August 1991.QUEBEC: Up 35,800 (30,200).BRITISH COLUMBIA: Down to 28,600 (37,100).Condominium construction fell to its lowest level since mid-1991.Single-detached starts edged up.PRAIRIE REGION: Rose to 16,300 (14,800).Alberta accounts for most of the increase.The trend was steady in Manitoba and up moderately in Saskatchewan.ATLANTIC CANADA: Rises to 7,200 (4,500).Building activity in all Atlantic provinces except Nova Scotia.The U.S.dollar has been falling against the German mark and Japanese yen, far enough to prompt last week some speculative probes by currency traders.They were rebuffed, to their surprise, by the concerted support for the dollar from 16 countries.> That show of strength, however, offered little more than a temporary respite.Much like Canada\u2019s dollar, the U.S.dollar 1s on shaky ground, and for much the same reason; the extent to which national defi- abroad.The U.S.doesn\u2019t want to raise interest rates again, at least not yet.There is no pressing domestic reason why it should.But if speculators make another choice, more determined run at its dollar, it may find it has no other choice.As has been demonstrated before \u2014 in runs on the English pound, the German mark and French franc \u2014 central banks support for currencies is quickly overwhelmed when speculators sniff blood.The U.S.dollar is hardly less vulnerable.Central bank support, even when as closely co-ordinated as it was last week, is more than temporarily effective only when it is complemented by other measures \u2014 most immediately, of course, by higher interest rates.Higher U.S.interest rates mean higher Canadian interest rates, with even less domestic reason for them.Our economy cits have been financed from .Can\u2019t protect dollar from currency traders hasnt yet advanced nearly as far or as fast as the U.S.economy.Nowhere is there any evidence of overheating.Business Sense By John Meyer Yet, if an increase in U.S.rates is not followed by one at least as large, if not larger, our dollar will become an immediate candidate for support from the U.S.and Mexico, under the terms of the recent swap agreements.Unlike the U.S.Treasury, the Bank of Canada is not directly concerned with the level at which our dollar trades.Its immediate and dominant concern is that the trade be orderly \u2014 no rapid fluctuations either up or down.The U.S., though, is directly concerned.If our dollar trades below the U.S.70 cent level, the Americans will begin to perceive it as conferring an unfair advantage in trade.À 65-cent dollar would be considered intolerable.These considerations aside, raising interest rates in tandem with the U.S.is necessary to assure adequate financing for continuing federal and provincial deficits.That is not just for current requirements for some $60 billion but for refi- nancings too.Foreign overfishing gets dealt with in legislation OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A planned crackdown on foreign overfishing gets under way today with introdution of tough new legislation drafted by Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin.THE ISSUE: Chronic overfishing by both foreign and domestic fleets have driven stocks of cod and other bottom-dwelling species such as haddock and plaice to near extinction.THE ANSWER: Fishing for most groundfish species is banned throughout Atlantic Canada.In March, member countries of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization agreed to a similar moratorium on the nose and tail of the Grand Banks.THE PROBLEM: Some non-NAFO countries have not agreed to the ban and some NAFO ships have changed their registration by obtaining flags of convenience from countries such as Panama and Belize and are continuing to fish for cod just outside Canada\u2019s 200-mile limit.WHAT'S NEXT: Tobin's legislation will give Canada authority to make arrests, levy fines, and confiscate vessels and catches of crews who break the law by taking cod \u2014 even in international waters.QUOTE: \u201cThe logical thing they could do is to pull up their nets and go find somewhere else to ply their vile

rising employment and consumer confidence and to the strong performance of the resale market,\u201d said Gilles Proulx.chief economist for the agency.Proulx said the growth in single detached housing met CMHC expectations.Builders were catching up Up_by_ 55% after the severe cold spell early in the year and recent rises in interest rates helped speed people's decisions to buy homes, Proulx said.With the exception of British Columbia, all regions of the country posted strong increases.Ontario and Quebec posted gains of 27 per cent and 19 per cent respectively.In British Columbia, housing starts fell 23 per cent thanks to a slowdown in condominium construction.Burns Fry, the Toronto-based investment house, told clients Monday that improved consumer confidence and efforts to beat further increases in mortgage rates will add to the strength of housing starts through the second quarter of the year.But that forecast was not universally shared.Frank Clayton, an independent housing analyst, said he expects interest rates will have the opposite effect on homebuyers.\u201cThe improvement we saw is tapering off,\u201d he said.\u201cIf you talk to builders, traffic is tapering off.\u201d Meanwhile, starts of multiple units fell 1.6 per cent to 56,200 - units in April.The corporation reports housing construction in figures that are adjusted to remove seasonal variations and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels.Sherbrooke catches building wave SHERBROOKE \u2014 Metropolitan housing starts for the month of April are up by 55 per cent from a year ago.Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) figures released Monday reported there were 3868 housing starts in Quebec in April, ten per cent more than last year for the same month.The increased activity is due to increased construction of detached single-family houses, up by 23 per cent, and multiple housing, up by 16 per cent.Jean- François Dion, the CMHC regional economist for Quebec, said employment gains made since the beginning of the year have made Quebecers \u201cmore optimistic about the future.\u201d Sherbrooke joined Montreal and Hull as areas where new housing was up, while starts were down in Jonquière, Quebec City, and Trois-Rivières.Construction of single-family Subsidiary\u2019s share value climbs Hydro-Quebec looks at directors\u2019 actions By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Hydro- Quebec chairman Richard Drouin said Monday he will investigate how three directors of a company controlled by the utility could make up to $2 million in profit on stocks they own.Drouin hastened to add he does not believe there was any wrongdoing by the directors of 3Mi Systems, a successful company that makes computer- driven maps of electrical networks.\u201cWe feel the legal aspects of these transactions are above board and made in the cognizance of all parties concerned,\u201d Drouin said after addressing a business group.But he said the share-profits \u2018\u2018could give grounds to interpretation.\u201d The stock profits were revealed in Quebec newspapers last Friday.Parti Quebecois Leader Jacques Parizeau denounced the profit as \u201cimmoral\u201d but stopped short of calling it illegal.The Quebec Liberal government also said it will investigate to see whether there are any irregularities in the directors standing to earn up to $2 million if they sell their shares.The directors are Marcel Cote, a financial consultant to several governments; Mario Bertrand, former chief of staff to ex- premier Robert Bourassa; and Pierre Jeanniot, former president of Air Canada.TOOK RISK Drouin said the men took a risk in buying shares in 3Mi in 1990, when Hydro-Quebec sold part of its stake in what was then a small company with an uncertain future.\u201cSome companies win and some lose,\u201d he said.The provincially owned utility now owns 40 per cent of 3Mi, Midlands Electricity of England has about 30 per cent and the directors of the firm \u2014 including Cote, Bertrand and Jeanniot \u2014 control the rest.The directors were allowed to buy the shares with Hydro\u2019s approval and the value of those shares has now risen considerably, giving them a $2-million profit on paper.Drouin, meanwhile, said the utility is looking outside of Quebec to compensate for an expected slow growth in demand for power.Hydro-Quebec will try to make more short-term sales of electricity as its clients in New homes and condominiums offset declines in apartment construction which started last year.Province-wide, rental unit construction declined by 21 per cent from the same period last year.For the country as a whole the seasonally-adjusted housing start average was up six per cent from March.England shy away from long- term, multibillion-dollar contracts.Drouin said short-term sales to New York during its summer demand period are one way Hydro can take advantage of seasonal variations between Quebec and the northeastern United States.It is looking at the possibility of even buying power from neighboring utilities in their off- peak periods.This will allow water to accumulate behind Hydro-Quebec dams and Hydro to sell power back to neighbors during their high demand periods.The utility has also made partnerships to market its expertise in hydroelectricity in other countries such as China that still have lots of undeveloped hydro power.Trees might be energy-generating crop in future By Michael Rank LONDON (Reuter) \u2014 Trees could be grown to generate clean electricity without contributing to global warming, says energy expert Walt Patterson.He says trees and other \u201cbiomass\u201d can be burned with-no net addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere because trees absorb as much carbon as they emit, helping to block the \u201cgreenhouse effect.\u201d \u201cIf biomass power, in its many possible manifestations, fulfils its potential, the global implications \u2014 for energy, agriculture, environment, land use and rural and regional development \u2014 could be profound and far- reaching.\u201d Unlike oil or coal, trees are renewable, says Patterson\u2019s report, Power from Plants, published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs where Patterson is a senior research fellow.Besides energy advantages, there could be agricultural gains.\u201cGrowing energy crops for biomass power would give farmers an alternative source of income.And as and when biomass power becomes commercially competitive it might eventually help to reduce the onerous burden of agricultural subsidies.\u201d SUITABLE \u201cIn these countries .using indigenous biomass fuel for biomass power would reduce energy imports, alleviate the burden of foreign debt these countries bear, while helping to meet their burgeoning demand for electricity.\u201d U.S.commission has no time for minister By Scott Edmonds WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 The U.S.International Trade Commission doesn\u2019t want to hear from Manitoba Agriculture Minister Harry Enns on the subject of Canadian wheat exports.Enns said Monday he received a terse one-paragraph letter informing him the commission didn\u2019t have time to fit him into their busy

vice-chairman and two members of the commission are making a rare two-day visit to Canada to meet with grain industry officials to discuss Canadian wheat exports.Meetings are planned in Winnipeg with officials of the Canadian Wheat Board, Canadian Grain Commission, grain companies and other industry representatives.Enns noted the relative secrecy surrounding the visit and said he was aware how politically sensitive it is in the United States.The trade commission isn\u2019t holding public hearings in Winnipeg, didn\u2019t announce the trip and a spokesman in Washington still didn\u2019t know

even if they were not consciously aware of it, they carried it out in practice.We like to take a peek once in a while into history to see how other generations lived and what added to their enjoyment of life, even down to the fine details of fashion.Peronally, I have not considered the veil as an accessory, except as a passing thought, but, to cite one example, Mila Contini noted in the early Middle Ages, \u201cQueens, princesses and noble ladies had many privileges, especially in the realm of fashion.They knew all the artifices necessary to make themselves attractive, and had a thousand ways with their veils.\u201d MARIE BURNS Since we have abandoned the wearing of hats except as whimsical additins to an outfit, or worn on formal occasions, veils have been forgotten.Yet, someone observed that they can make a woman not of exceptional beauty, mysterious and alluring.MUFFS Do you remember carrying a muff?I do.There was won my mother fashioned for me of warm lamb\u2019s skin, lined with silk and haning around my neck on a cord, so I would not lose it.It was soft, and as a little girl, I felt like a princess to own it.\u201cIn the 17th century muffs which were first worn by men became women\u2019s accessories Experts issue final eclipse warnings = SHERBROOKE \u2014 Experts have issued the final warning to be \u201ccareful during today\u2019s partial solar eclipse.The Quebec Ophthamologists Association, the Régie Régionale de \u201cla Santé et des Services Sociaux de l\u2019Estrie and local eye doctors all want to warn the public that permanent eye damage from direct \u201ccontact with the sun can occur after less than one minute.i The safest way to watch the eclipse is on television, through welder\u2019s glasses with a no.14 filter, or through special glasses being sold \u2018by the Sherbrooke Astronomical Society for $2 a pair at Daguerre photo and at Provi-Soirs in the area.All three groups recommend children not be allowed to look diree- tly at the sun, even if they are equipped with the proper equipment, because they may not be able to ujse it properly.In addition, children\u2019s eyes have not been corrupted, so they still absorb larger amounts of light than adult eyes do.Parents are encon- \u2018raged to be especially vigilant during the eclipse to protect their chil~ dren's eyes.Coming up in the Townships MAGOG \u2014 As it has every other year, Magog is organizing a large garbage item pickup for old furniture, branches, tires and other large objects that can\u2019t be picked up;

Antoine Dariaux would keep a favorite handbag for many years, which by virtue of its fine quality and flawless design would refuse to go out of style.SHOES Ah, and shoes!

then he cashes the spade ace and K-J of clubs for nine tricks: three spades, one heart, one diamond and four clubs.Did you tame the bucking bronco?©1994, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Tuesday, May 10, 1994 Your Birthday Tuesday, May 10, 1994 Romantically and socially speaking the year ahead could be a rather exciting period of time for you.Dan Cupid and yourself might hit the ground running.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Money can be generated from two different sources at this time, provided they are not allowed to overlap or draw, from one anather.Treat each circumstance in a singular fashion.Know where to look for romance and you'll find it.The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you.Mail $2 and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to Matchmaker, c/o this newspaper, P.O.Box 4465, New York, N.Y.10163.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Respond to your inner urges to carry out something new you've been considering, even if you can\u2019t explain your aspirations in detail to others.They can be filled in later.CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might meet someone new at this time who has the potential to become a good friend.Be open and friendly to all today, even to individuals who make a poor first impression.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Proper timing can spell the difference today between success and failure.Be patient and wait for just the right moment to jump in and make your move.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Something you've learned from personal experience might be of immense value to you at this time in outshining your competition.Methods that worked previously are still valid today.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Subdue impulses for instant gratification today pertaining to something expensive you've been wanting to buy.You may be able to get this item in the near future at a substantial savings.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Partnership arrangements in which you're involved today could produce long lasting, favorable effects.The secret is to give the other guy as much as you want for yourself.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Your luck today in fulfilling your ambitious aims could be in proportion to the efforts you expend.The harder you work, the luckier you'll get.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) You are now in a cycle where you could find yourself more in demand socially than usual.This is a good time to do all you can to enlarge your circle of friends.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Even though the day might start out somewhat sluggishly, your well directed efforts in the afternoon should make up for any lost time you experience in the a.m.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Ideas or concepts you develop in association with others could be the ones earmarked for success today.Teamwork can produce a product, individualism can't.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Generally speaking, you are presently in a brief cycle which could be good for you in financial and commercial ways.However, you must take control of matters and not leave them up to chance.©1994 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN * ASTRO-TONE'à Your expanded re * daily horoscope 1-900-820-1444 Access Code 100 95 cents per minute.Touch-tone phones only.SHERBROOKE \u2014 On Monday evening, April 18, the Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 10 held their regular meeting which was opened by the President Betty Patry at approximately 7:30 p.m.with 14 members present.There was no application for membership at this meeting.Secretary Jessie Pelchat read the minutes of the last general and executive meetings, which were approved.Correspondence \u2014 À thank-you and receipt from the Children\u2019s Wish Foundation.Treasurer Violet McNab gave St.Luke\u2019s Church Women meet WATERLOO \u2014 On Monday evening, April 18, St.Luke\u2019s Church Women met in the Guild room at 7:15 p.m.for their monthly business meeting with an attendance of 17.The meeting was opened and proceeded in the usual manner.The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting and the Treasurer gave her report.The President, Nellie Darling thanked all who helped before and after Doris Davis\u2019 funeral.the financial report for the month.The President wished Violet a happy birthday, the only one this month!
