[" KYLE YOUNG N.H.E.SAGE 7 Quebec to make dead-beat dads pay up By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Quebec will crack down on dead-beat dads by deducting their child-support payments at source, Premier Daniel Johnson announced Wednesday.There\u2019s only one catch \u2014its an election promise.The Liberals have to win the Sept.12 election to draw up the required legislation.In Quebec, 55 per

of water during a heat wave got a fresh supply on Wednesday after Croatians lifted a blockade and allowed trucks to go through, a spokesman said.The troops in the Krajina region in southern Croatia had about a week's supply of water left and were down to their hard rations, said Lieut.Doug Maybee.Also, a shortage of fuel had greatly cut their peacekeeping patrols, said Maybee.But on Wednesday, three convoys were allowed to deliver fresh food, water, fuel, spare parts and other supplies to the soldiers.Maybee said it\u2019s not clear if other convoys will be let through, but he\u2019s optimistic the problem can be settled soon.He said the Canadians were starting to ration their water, and he\u2019s not sure if the water they got Wednesday will be enough for them to end the rationing.The weather has been stifling \u2014 more than 40 C \u2014 so that dehydration had been a threat, Maybee said.The four-week-old blockade had been undermining peacekeeping efforts of the Calgary-based Princess Patricia\u2019s Canadian Light Infantry, who are monitoring an April 4 ceasefire, Maybee said.Another convoy to the Canadians is supposed to arrive Friday, and Maybee said it seems it will also be allowed through.\u201cThe situation is improving and things are looking better, and it appears that there's the opportunity for resolving this whole problem.\u201d Before the convoy made it through, Maybee said some UN units were \u201cgetting in pretty dire straits.\u201d The Canadian battalion had been heir emergency water supply \u2014 they're preserving it like

its up to both sides to negotiate a settlement that would allow the return of Croatian refugees.\u201cWe've provided a ceasefire for them \u2014ifthere\u2019s political intransigence, that\u2019s out

said a re-elected Liberal government would consider following some American states and cancel the driver's licence of dead-beat dads.Some 110,000 families in Quebec \u2014 including more than 200,000

Parizeau and Johnson By Daniel Sanger The Canadian Press And on the 11th day, they took up damage control.Premier Daniel Johnson and Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau cooled their attacks on each other Wednesday and tried to put out internal brush fires that have hindered their respective election campaigns.Parizeau was forced to deal with apparent contradictions between himself and Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard.Johnson, meanwhile, yielding to PQ pressure and growing public curiosity, said one of his star candidates wants to reveal the details of an out-of-court settlement he made with a company that was suing him for $660,000.But Johnson said the candidate, former Marxist union Jeader Yvon Charbonneau, must get permission from Great West Life because of a confidentiality clause in the settlement.\u201cI can\u2019t legislate Great West Life into divulging the terms.\u201d The PQ has mined what Pari- zeau is calling \u201cThe Charbon- neau Affair\u201d to its advantage because Johnson isa former vice- president of Power Corp., which controls Great West Life.Pulled strings have been the subtext of every PQ reference to the affair, especially after one report said Charbonneau \u2014 who voted Yes in the 1980 sovereignty-association referendum \u2014 paid Great West less than $100,000 to drop the suit.Parizeau continued to hammer away at the secret deal Wednesday.\u201cThe more we find out about this story, the worse it smells,\u201d he said.\u201cA financial company that looks out for itself doesn\u2019t give gifts without asking for things in exchange or, in any case, good and loyal service.\u201d Parizeau also had his own headaches Wednesday in the form of comments made by Bouchard.Making his first appearance in the campaign, Bouchard seemed at odds with Parizeau on Tuesday when he said a PQ victory Sept.12 would not be a mandate to begin negotiations with Ottawa toward making Quebec an independent country.Only a Yes vote in a referendum would permit that, Bou- chard said.PQ policy calls for \u201cdiscussions\u201d with Canada on the transfer of powers and the sharing of the federal debt to begin right after a PQ government is formed.A referendum would be held within 10 months of an election win.Parizeau said the differences \u2014 if any \u2014 between his opinion Decision '94 and Bouchard\u2019s are probably academic.\u201cPeople in the rest of Canada would probably be so mad at us after the election that they won't accept to talk to us for quite awhile \u2014 there wouldn't be negotiations,\u201d Parizeau said.\u201cHowever, I think we're morally committed to propose negotiations at least on the splitting of the debt charges.\u201d At a news conference to announce a crackdown on deadbeat dads

communications adviser, says there\u2019ll be no negotiations on Quebec independence, period.\u201cIt\u2019s not going to happen,\u201d Donolo said in a telephone interview from Ottawa.There seems to be confusion within the PQ on how to achieve independence, including whether to negotiate before or after a referendum, he said.But the federal government\u2019s position remains clear: nobody would gain by the breakup of Canada.\u201cWe're not confused.\u201d Parizeau noted Wednesday that PQ policy does call for negotiations prior to the referendum that's to be held within 10 months of an election win.But he suggested that could change.He said the talks should precede the referendum but the rest of Canada might still be too angry to talk.Much of the debate over this subject has not been between Parizeau and Chrétien but between Parizeau and his own party.; \u2019 Richard Le Hir, oné of Pari- zeau\u2019s star candidates, got into hot water this week when he argued the PQ should start the separation negotiations only after the referendum has been won.Le Hir later insisted his comments had been misinterpreted.Parizeau said the two would have a talk.The which-comes-first?issue also seemed initially to catch the PQ\u2019s main federal ally, Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard, quick-stepping to the beat of his own drummer.Bouchard declared Tuesday that a referendum win

Editorial Salary caps won\u2019t work In just over a week the Major League Baseball season will come to an abrupt halt once again and Expos fans will have to wait and wonder if the World Series stops at the Olympic Stadium.It is hard for fans to sympathize with either side of the baseball strike.In one icorner are the players who make millions f dollars a year playing games.One the {ther side are the owners who claim they e losing money running their franchises \u2014 but let\u2019s face it, most of them have money to burn.The owners insist the best way to protect the game and help out small market teams like Montreal is to impose a salary cap on each team.But a careful examination of two other professional sports by baseball owners would show them that salary caps are not the solution.The National Basketball Association, the first professional league to use a salary cap, recently had to defend its college draft system and salary cap in court.Basketball players are contending the draft and salary cap are an infringement on their freedom to earn a living where they please.They also say it restricts how much they can earn from owners with deep pockets.Until recently players in the National Football League didn\u2019t have the right to offer their services to the highest bidder.There was no free agency and players were stuck with the same team forever unless they were traded.At least now they can shop around., To get free agency, players had to agree to a salary cap for each NFL franchise.So far, the players haven\u2019t been the biggest complainers about the salary cap.Some owners have devised a system to get around the cap by giving players multi- million dollar signing bonuses that don\u2019t count as part of the player\u2019s season salary.{ If baseball owners were to get their salary cap how long would it be before they too ran into similar problems?.Both the American and Canadian constitutions protect the right of citizens to move within their boundaries to search for a job of their choosing, at the salary and location of their choice.Doesn\u2019t a doctor or a professor have a right to choose where to work?Don\u2019t they take the salary and the location into consideration?Why should sports be any different?If a government can\u2019t restrict where people can work and for how much, how can a baseball league get away with it?Even if the players were to agree to a salary cap it wouldn\u2019t prove to be anymore of a benefit to small market teams in baseball than it has in basketball and football.If Frank Thomas became a free agent, owners with deep pockets would figure a way around the salary cap to sign one of the league\u2019s greatest offensive weapons.Something definitely has to be done to stop salaries from skyrocketing any higher and to create more parity between the small market teams and big market franchises, but baseball owners should be careful that they aren\u2019t creating more harm than good.ROBERT MATHESON 4 + Canada reviews its role in world OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A pair of parliamentary committees are trying to decide how Canada should react to the world \u2014 both militarily and diplomatically.The special joint committees of the Commons and Senate on foreign and defence policies have listened to dozens of witnesses across the country.Hundreds of people and organizations have submitted thousands of pages of briefs and reports.Special documents have been commissioned from experts and academics.Witnesses have run the gamut from hawk to dove.Some would boost aid and cut the military to little more than heavily armed police officers.Others would dispatch peacekeepers equipped for anything short of nuclear war.Opinions have been varied and seemingly endless.Leave NATO.Stay in NATO.Condemn nuclear weapons.Strengthen alliances.TRAVEL WIDELY Members of the defence review have travelled as far as Bosnia to watch peacekeepers in action.The foreign policy group plans to splitin three parts next month and visit the United Nations, Washington and Brussels to study international bodies ranging from the World Bank to the European Union.The foreign policy committee (seven senators, 15 MPs) and the defence policy committee (five senators, 11 MPs) are working closely together.\u201cThey recognize that there\u2019s a lot of overlap there,\u201d says Stephen Wallace, aide to Senator Allan MacEachen, co-chairman of the foreign policy body.\u201cThey try to co-ordinate.The committees work fairly well together.So far.\u201d In mid-September, the two groups will hold joint meetings, says the other co-chairman, Jean- Robert Gauthier.\u201cWe've established, as the first thing, that foreign policy will trigger defence policy,\u201d says Gauthier.He expects the two will find a consensus.The reports are due in October and will be the first major policy reviews in the fields in almost eight years.The last defence review was a white paper in 1987, which foundered over a proposal to buy nuclear submarines and the collapse of the Communist Bloc.The last foreign policy review was a year earlier, before the Berlin Wall fell and the world changed.The committees bring a lot of expertise to bear on their subjects.MacEachen is a former Liberal minister of external affairs.Other members of the foreign policy body include Senator Pat Carney, a former Conservative minister of energy and international trade, Senator Philippe Gigantes, a onetime Greek cabinet minister, and Liberal MP John English, an author and historian.The defence committee includes Liberal MP John Richardson, a retired general, Liberal MP Fred Mifflin, a retired admiral, and Reform MP Jack Frazer, a former colonel and fighter pilot.The committees have heard from individuals, the military and defence associations, academics and aid organizations, peace activists and religious groups, and representatives of business and unions.Letters to the Editor I

rules about toxic waste disposal, says an editorial in the Medicine Hat News: The Swan Hills treatment plant doesn\u2019t run at anywhere near its capacity, partly because the province isn\u2019t enforcing its own environmental standards about toxic waste disposal.Swan Hills is a partnership between the province, hich owns 40 per cent, and Chem-Security Ltd.hich owns the rest.Last year the province had to ¢hip in between $25 million and $30 million to keep going.Now the plant wants to import waste from outsi- e the province to stem the tide of losses.The plant charges as much as $3,000 a tonne to eat hazardous waste and that sends business loo- ng for other options.À Chem-Security official esti- ates only about 12 per cent of Alberta\u2019s hazardous aste makes it to Swan Hills.Make Albertans follow the rules, and make the rhles fair, and Swan Hills should receive enough rbage to get by.om What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The anadian Press Scallop life at centre of court battle By Ian Bailey ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 His palms pressed together and flapping like wings, federal scientist Sam Naidu is making a point about how Icelandic scallops move.\u201cThey look like fools when they try to swim because it lasts a second or two, then they fall back like this.\u201d The shellfish specialist sweeps an outstretched palm over his desk, making a motion like a bar of soap sinking in a deep bath.\u201cThis jumping response is not an escape response.It\u2019s just a random response,\u201d says Naidu, who has been studying scallops since 1966.\u201cThey were never meant to swim.These animals were destined for a sedentary life.\u201d Sedentary suggests the animals basically don\u2019t move, and Naidu expects he may have to go to court to make this point for his government employers.Two U.S.captains charged with violating Canadian fishing regulations by harvesting Icelandic scallops are testing Canadian claims that the creatures are under Ottawa\u2019s control because they are essentially immobile.Canada says that under the Law of the Sea, it has control over such shellfish even beyond its territorial waters.But the Americans say that the scallops move, and are fair catch in international waters.As Massasschusetts\u2019 skippers Charles Rodriques and Michael Willett pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday in Newfoundland\u2019s Supreme Court, their lawyer predicted Crown-defence warfare on the point.OPINIONS DIFFER \u201cThere will certainly be a battle between experts called for the Canadians and experts for the Americans skippers on that issue \u2014 whether or not the scallops are sedentary species,\u201d said Elizabeth Heneghan.In an interview, Willett said the issue is pretty clear to Americans who have rallied to his cause.\u201cWe're in the right as far as the U.S.That's why we have so much support.A scallop is not a sedentary species as far as the U.S.is concerned.\u201d If a Canadian court disagrees, Willett could face a maximum $750,000 fine.Naidu was called in from his vacation last week to make the sedentary case for federal Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin, who was defending the seizure of the two U.S.boats during a news conference.Naidu says years of scallop study has convinced him that movement is such a twitchy exception in the life of an Icelandic scallop that they are best considered immobile.He began making the point in his office, then moved to a nearby tank filled with saltwater and several scallops taken from the sea for research.CAN LIVE 30 YEARS Each is about the size of a man\u2019s hand with a coffee-colored shell that feels like stone, but is actually Shellfish scooped from ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 Facts and figures on the Icelandic scallop, at the centre of a diplomatic row between Canada and the United States: Scientific name: Chlamys islandica.Harvested for: Whitish meat, the muscle that allows the scallop to open and close its shell.The meat is removed or \u201cshucked\u201d for storage and sale.Location: Fishable quantities found as far south as Nantucket off the Massachusetts coast.Also harvested in Iceland, Norway, Russia, Greenland.Lifespan: About 30 years.Size: About the size of a hand.Predators: Man, starfish.Some fish such as wolfish and plaice eat these scallops, either by smashing the shells with their teeth (wolfish) or swallowing them whole (plaice).Harvesting: Gathered from the sea bottom by draggers \u2014 ships that drag heavy nets along behind them, scooping up the scallops living on pebbles, rocks and sand at various depths.a byproduct of calcium \u2014 a key ingredient of human bones \u2014 made by the scallop over a lifespan that can cover 30 years.There is no sense of movement or response from the scallop.Not even when Naidu later cracks one open and scoops out its gooey organs with a knife.After a few moments of scraping and tugging, he displays a column of white meat \u2014 the muscle that allows the scallop to open its shell, and the goal of fishermen who harvest the creature.Working in giant waterfilled tanks, Naidu has used prods and even a poke from a finger to prompt the creatures to move without success, he says.\u201cAlmost invariably, we do not elicit the escape response.\u201d sea bottom Diet: Scallops filter out microscopic plants and animals suspended in seawater \u2014 a natural food source known as plankton.Life story: Born in open water after males and females simultaneously release millions of eggs and sperm.Born without shells.Scallop builds its shell by synthesizing it from calcium suspended in the sea.Generate protein-based cords called byssal threads to anchor them to the nearest solid surface.They occasionally move by flapping their shells to generate a water jet.N ve Farm and Business Owners expect city market to boom Bulk office supplies chain opens Sherbrooke store By Stephen Heckbert SHERBROOKE \u2014 It was only a year and a half ago that Busi- PAL

Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 After years of hand wringing and job slashing, Canada\u2019s two major freight railways appear to be making a comeback.Both CP Rail System and CN North America have reported a remarkable turn around for the first half of this year \u2014 especially CN, which set a new monthly record for freight in March.And rival CP Rail has ran out of locomotives to meet its demand.It is busy rebuilding a fleet of 43 ancient, abandoned engines.The railways, however, are being typically cautious.\u201cOne quarter does not a turn around make,\u201d CN spokesman Ed Palusiak retorted Wednesday.\u201cWe're a long ways from jumping up and down.\u201d Palusiak\u2019s caution belies CN Rail\u2019s stunning profit of $103 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of $15 million a year ago.CN had not seen such quarterly profits since 1988.Palusiak noted that although volumes are up, rail freight rates have shrunk by 35 per cent since 1986, due to competition from trucks and other railroads, including those in the United States.CP Rail System had operating revenue of $106 million in the quarter compared with $44 million a year ago.CP Rails turn around actually began last year.SMALL RETURN But CP Rail spokesman B.C.Scott also cautioned that this year\u2019s earnings represent only a three per cent return on equity.\u201cYes, it\u2019s very encouraging but it doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t have a son couldnt have been happier.\u201cAt the same time we're opening stores in Halifax and Mississauga,\u201d Samson said.\u201cAnd with every now store we open we improve.\u201d Samson said the Portland location isn\u2019t completely finished but will be in time for a big bash Saturday.\u201cAt some stores, people camped out all night to get to the opening specials,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we don\u2019t expect that in Sherbrooke \u2014 it's a much more civilized town.\u201d Samson said the store will change the local business supply market because it will be an attractive alternative.\u201cWe have 5,200 products, and we guarantee you won\u2019t find a lower price anywhere.\u201d To make a profit, Samson said, the store must sell $4 million worth of products and services a year, but added the location makes a big difference.TAKE RISK \u201cWe're ready to take the risk that Sherbrooke is about to explode,\u201d he said.\u201cWe're trying to serve the small- and medium- sized business market, and as long distance to go.\u201d Statistics Canada reports rail loadings from January to May this year were up eight per cent over last year, led by iron ore, potash, lumber and automobiles.Another large part of the increase is the hauling of inter- modal containers \u2014 which can also go on ships and trucks \u2014 carrying manufactured goods and foodstuffs.In addition, the railways are starting to reap the benefits of major job cuts and the shedding of unprofitable track.Unions, ir the midst of contract talks, see the good news The

year, seniors whose income exceeds $25,921 can\u2019t claim the full amount of the nonrefundable tax credit when they file their income tax returns.This tax change, announced in last February's federal budget, will result in many seniors having to pay higher taxes for 1994.The amount will range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on the individual senior\u2019s income.Before the change, the \u201cage amount\u201d tax credit allowed seniors to reduce their combined federal and provincial income tax by about $950.For the 1993 tax year, you claimed the tax credit on Page 3 of the T1 general tax return, on Line 301.You could claim $3,482 as a non-refundable tax credit if you were born in 1928 or earlier.This tax concession was a significant benefit to seniors at high-income levels.Under the new tax regime, Seniors will p ay more taxes as = FINANCIAL PLANNING By Frank Cameron ADM.A CFP.however, seniors with a net income over $25,921 will have their opportunity to use the tax credit curtailed.The only consolation to seniors is that Revenue Canada will phase in the tax credit reduction over two tax years.For 1994, only half the reduction applies.But the full reduction begins in 1995, when the age tax credit will be eliminated for about 200,000 seniors who have net incomes of more than $49,134.SOMEWHAT SIMILAR The Chretien government\u2019s action is somewhat similar to what the previous federal government did with the Old Age Security (OAS) pension.It clawed back some or all of OAS payments if your \u201cnet income before adjustments\u201d (Line 234 of the tax return) was over $53,215 in 1993.A senior\u2019s income over that amount was clawed back by Ottawa at a rate of 15 per cent, to the point that if you had $84,000 of income in 1993 your total OAS payments of about $4,600 had to be repaid to the government.In effect, the old age pension is no longer a universal entitlement.You have to undergo a form of \u201cmeans test.\u201d The taxation division of Revenue Canada is doing its best to help seniors prepare for the potential impact of the age tax credit reduction.It has issued a fact sheet which notes that \u201csome seniors - affected by the change may find they owe tax\u201d at the end of the 1994 tax year.next year \u201cTo avoid this, they may want to call their Income and Security Program office (of Human Resources Development Canada in the Government of Canada section of the phone book), or their pension plan administrators, to ask them to withhold more tax at source.However, seniors will not have to contact their employers, since the Department has informed all employers of the changes and the employers will automatically withhold additional tax.\u201d Revenue Canada also notes that seniors who pay their income tax by installments, and who use the current-year method to calculate their installments, may also end up owing tax at the end of the year.\u201cRevenue Canada will advise these seniors of this situation on their August installment reminder, so they can make arrangements with their local income tax office to adjust their payments.\u201d Frank Cameron is a

If they rolled you up in the gym mat no one would notice!\u201d Another theme is the extent to which women\u2019s aging and illness About the only people who may not be able to do resistance training are men or women with arthritis or who are in the early stages of recovering from an injury, says Sandler.However, because overweight people are more inclined to have high blood pressure and other are abhorred, says Foster.About her battle with cancer, Lucy Grealy writes: \u201cReinforced to me again and again was how I was \u2018a brave girl\u2019 for not crying, \u2018a good girl\u2019 for not complaining, and soon I began defining myself this way, equating strength with silence.\u201d Foster hopes the book will help readers \u2014- especially young ones \u2014 cope.\u201cThere is a real fear among most young women about what they're supposed to be,\u201d says Foster.\u201cNew graduates, especially, have to be even more competitive in their careers, but almost made to feel they have to be nurturers and put themselves last emotionally.\u201cIt\u2019s a heavy load to put on them and they should know it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.\u201d health problems, they should consult

told a news conference.Stojko plans to demonstrate new routines he is working on for the next world championships.Special guests for the eight- city tour include Canadian ice dance champions Shae Lynn

a daughter that age.Reading about other people's problems has made me realize how small mine are.You guided me through a difficult childhood and adolescence.I could pick up the paper every day and learn how others solved problems similar to mine.And I knew I wasn't alone.I also learned from you that most problems aren't so serious that you can't have a sense of humor about them.Many of your columns are so good they should be read over and over.I have even gone to the library to find the columns you wrote before I was born.I didn't want to miss anything.You've been a strong, positive influence in my life, and I'd like to say thanks by sending you this essay.I hope you'll print it.Lessons Learned from a Lifetime of Reading Ann Landers You are responsible for your own happiness.No one can diminish your amphitheatre.A few dozen Montrealers who had brought their skates to beat the midsummer heat watched spellbound as Bourne and Kraatz floated harmoniously past and Stojko swooped around them like a demented Russian folk dancer, then shot back in reverse on one skate.Afterwards they brought the crowd on to the ice.Kraatz glided out with Danielle Germaine from nearby Beloeil, who confessed: \u201cIts a dream.I never thought this could happen to me.\u201d Germaine, who said she hadn't skated for 18 years and was there to keep her young son helping me get through Ann Landers

aware that without good health, wealth and success mean little, If you enjoy your work and your life, you are rich.If you aren't happy with either, how can money help?If you're having a rotten day, don't take it out on others.Simply say, \"This is a rotten day.Tomorrow is sure to be better.\u201d This attitude can save a lot of relationships.Don't be afraid to try something you think you can't

1994, in his 79th year.He was born on January 25, 1916, in Lower Ireland, Que., the eldest son of the late John Robinson and his wife, the late Mabel Ashcroft.On November 8, 1944, Lloyd married Marion Roberts and to them four children were born.The family moved to North Hatley in 1951.Lloyd spent his early days on the family farm in Lower Ireland.His mother died when he was only 12 leaving his father to raise Lloyd and his two younger brothers on the farm.With many responsibilities to fulfill it was there that Lloyd gained many of his strengths.He was a well-respected, conscientious and trustworthy person.He worked at the Philip Carey paper mill in Lennoxville from 1951 until 1967 when fire destroyed the plant.While living downho- me during the \u201930s and the late \u201940s, in step with the changing times, Lloyd bought a truck and hauled wood, logs, lumber, gravel, and other things.He bought and cut stands of timber, employing a few men.In all these jobs he was businesslike and fair.During World War II he worked in munitions factories in Montreal.Lloyd was a stalwart member of the North Hatley United Church congregation which he and Marion joined soon after moving to North Hatley.He served as an elder for several years.Later he was a steward, a trustee, and lastly co-treasurer.He worked tirelessly to ensure the well-being of the church, and was actively discussing its affairs until the end.He was most content when with people, visiting and keeping up lifelong acquaintances.Lloyd enjoyed travelling and sometimes went to card parties and square dances.Vacations meant trips for the children, and in recent years Lloyd, Marion and Douglas drove throughout Canada and the United States.Lloyd kept in touch, in person, with relatives and friends from downhome and elsewhere alike.In September 1993 they visited Lloyd's brother Milton in British Columbia.Left to mourn his loss is Marion, his wife of nearly 50 years, his children Douglas, Stanley, Harvey, and Phyllis, daughters-in-law Heather and Phyllis, his brothers Bernard and sister-in-law Mildred of Inverness and Milton of Parksville, B.C., six grandchildren, and several nephews and nieces.He was predeceased by a brother Russell who died in infancy.The funeral was held in the Waterville United Church with Rev.Timothy Milley officiating.Rev.Jane Aikman delivered a moving eulogy in which she described Lloyd's life as \u201cone of a quiet, faithful presence\u201d.Safe in the Arms of Jesus and Amazing Grace were the hymns that were sung.The organist was John Foster.He also played an Irish fife tune at the cemetery.The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends from Quebec, Ontario, and other parts of Canada, as well as some close cousins from Vermont.The bearers were Kenneth McCrea, Raymond Dempsey, Stewart Reed, John Lowry, and nephews Allan Robinson and Jerald Alexander.Earl Davis and Ronald Reed were honorary bearers.Interment took place in Reedsville Cemetery, North Hatley.Following the services friends and relatives were invited to the North Hatley Community Centre where a lovely lunch was served by members of the North Hatley United Church.Huntingville Alice

As West must assume his partner has both the ace and jack of spades, he should lead the nine, not the two.Usually a switch to a high card denies an honor in the suit, but East should be aware that his partner might be unblocking.After taking dummy\u2019s spade 10 with his jack, East returns the spade three to West's king.Now West leads the spade two through dummy\u2019s Q-5 to East's A-7, defeating the contract.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Your Birthday Thursday, Aug.4, 1994 Partnership arrangements should work out rather well for you in the year ahead, even though the motivation and initiative might be controlled by your cohorts instead of yourself.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) You and persons with whom you'll be involved today could gain from your associations in ways that won't be obvious to others, yet each will recognize the benefits.Trying to patch up a broken romance?The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you to understand what to do to make the relationship work.Mail $2 to Matchmaker, P.O.Box 4465, New York, N.Y.10163.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Today you may wisely utilize information given to you by an old friend.At the time this person makes the suggestions, he/she might not realize you're being helped.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Strive to focus on your most important ambitions today, those that relate to your work or career.Search carefully for small opportunities because they can be developed into something larger.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Persons with whom you're presently associated hold you in higher esteem than you may realize.There is no need for pretense or flexing your muscles.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Forces over which you have little or no control might initiate some changes today you've been wanting to make, but unable to do on your own.Take advantage of what transpires.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) You might be called upon today to make a very difficult decision.Do what your better nature and honest judgment tells you is best, even if it ruffles another's feathers.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Let your practicality and common sense guide you in your commercial affairs today.Things should work out to your liking, provided they're done in a logical manner.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) The commitment of an old friend with whom you might be involved socially can be relied upon today.If he/she makes a promise, accept it at face value.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Treat your responsibilities earnestly today, especially those which involve members of your immediate family.Persons who depend upon you must not be let down.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Steer clear of individuals today who waste their time pursuing frivolous interests, because they might induce you to do so as well.Industrious pals won't.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Conditions in general are rather favorable for you today where your financial and career interests are concerned.Substantial accomplishments are possible, but you'll have to work for them.CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you set your mind to it, your reasoning powers could be more astute than usual today.Focus on matters that can advance your self-interests and those of others as well.©1994 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.* ASTRO*TONE \u201ca Your expanded e * daily horoscope 1-900-820-1444 Access Code 100 95 cents per minute.Touch-tone phones only.* Welcome Encampment card party KNOWLTON \u2014 The card party sponsored by Welcome Encampment No.9 and Ladies Auxiliary was held on July 13 with ten tables in play.Prizewinners \u2014 Ladies: Doreen Gibbs, Isabel Tryhorn and Helen McGovern.Men's: Donald Gauvin, Gordon Marsh and Gerald Coupland.Tickets were sold on a box of groceries, won by Gerald Cou- pland.Ronald Tryhorn, Lillian Brown and Mattie Nelis won other raffle prizes.Crossword Door prizes: Donald Gauvin, Leila Peron, Doreen Gibbs, Isabel Tryhorn, Mac Jones, Ron Tryhorn, Gladys Thompson, Gordon Marsh, Dorcas Tinkler, Gordon Bailey, Helen McElroy, Reba Holloway, Doris Laviolette, George Wilson, Helen McGovern, Dorothy Mizener and Mary Marlowe.Matriarch Virginia Clifford and husband Patriach Eddie, assisted by Patriarch Douglas McClay was in charge of this card party.ACROSS 1 [2 [3 |< Ç 6 |7 |s 9 lo j11 [12 1 Sweeper 6 Intimidate 13 14 15 16 9 Make a cartoon 13 Norse chieftain |\" 18 19 of old 14 Again 20 2 2 16 Attorney general 23 24 125 17 Keen 18 He 26 [27 |28 |29 30 |31 19 Money exchange fee 32 33 [34 35 36 [37 j38 20 Vintage film star, Jessica 39 40 41 42 hee PE 7} = 24 Some bees 47 48 49 |50 26 Auction participant 51 |52 |53 54 |s5 30 Welles or Bean 32 River to the 56 57 |s8 59 [60 [61 [62 Baltic = = 33 Japanese 4 65 diplomat 65 7 35 Camel kin 68 39 Told 69 70 71 41 Globetrotter -
