children to chiropractors for routine treatments.They say many chiropractors, whose therapy basically involves manipulating the spinal cord, are making unsubstantiated claims of being able to treat such diverse problems as ear infections, colitis, bed-wetting and even learning disabilities.The physicians also want the riding funds.Details insidg.Soon-to-retire Sherbrooke MNA André J.Hamel gota final tha centre in his former neighborhood.Hamel was on hand for the unveiling of a new sign he helped pay for from five provinces whose health-care insurance covers chiropractic services to stop funding treatment for children under 18.The concerns are laid outin an 11-point statement signed by 13 chiefs of pediatrics of hospitals across Canada and released today.The pediatricians say it\u2019s a public health issue.But a spokesman for Canadian chiropractors angrily accused them of using extreme and irresponsible tactics in a war over turf.23 ; Nh at 9 nN Re Ig OX ae ES A ae is § A

her as \u201ca woman dressed like a ninja\u201d who brandished a pistol at him.The trooper who eventually arrested the 63-year-old Greek Orthodox nun after two armed standoffs called her a frightened woman with poor vision and hearing who sought solitude and may have been harassed by neighbors.\u201cShe just doesn\u2019t deal with people,\u201d Trooper Matt Grant said.Sister Nau was freed from jail Monday after arraignment on a charge of criminal threatening _ with a firearm.Judge Jessie Gunther granted her release without bail on condition that she have no contact with firearms.The events leading to her arrest began Friday, when a warden came to her cabin near Silver Lake to investigate a fire.After the warden reported that \u201ca woman dressed like a ninja\u201d had threatened him with a gun, troopers stood outside her cabin for five hours.She refused to talk to them and they eventually left.Eight troopers returned Saturday with a search warrant.Again, the nun refused to cooperate, leading to a standoff that lasted nearly nine hours.Troopers finally broke down the door and arrested her.They also seized a starter\u2019s pistol.Grant said Nau was born in France and had lived in convents, monasteries and simply in seclusion for more than 40 years.\u201cPeople didn\u2019t understand her.She didn\u2019t want to explain herself to people,\u201d he said.\u201cShe just wanted to keep to herself.But because people didn\u2019t understand her, they thought she was a danger.\u201cOnce we had her in our custody and she was not worried about us causing harm to her, she was quite talkative.Then we were able to find out her side of the story.\u201d The doctors who signed the statement include: Dr.Robert Haslam of Toronto\u2019s Hospital for Sick Children; Dr.Grant

Ontario, which have the only two chiropractic schools in Canada, to evaluate the courses being taught there.They say books sold at Toronto\u2019s Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College are opposed to the vaccinations that protect children against many childhood diseases.They warn parents that X-rays can\u2019t show nerve roots as some chiropractors claim but that repeated radiation \u201ccan

would emerge a winner or a loser from separation during a televised leaders\u201d debate Monday.The Liberal premier said the Parti Québécois\u2019 separatist plan is a one-way ticket to economic

economic renewal and called on Quebecers to put an end to 30 years of sterile federal-provincial quarrels.Quebec would save at least $3 \u201cbillion by leaving the Canadian federation, Parizeau

series of standard psychological tests can learn whether they have high or low risk of getting Alzheimer\u2019s or a similar disease, a study suggests.The tests, given to outwardly healthy people, identified one group with an 85 per cent rate of developing intellect-robbing dementia; tests delayed recall.Words, objects, Tests used by researchers to help predict @ Person hears a list of 12 common words, and then is tested several times on memory of them.Ten minutes later, the person is asked again.This @ Person examines 10 common objects.The objects are then put out of sight, and after a brief senile dementia within four years, and another group who went on to get dementia at only a five per cent rate over that time.That means the tests can distinguish between those who should get a more detailed evaluation and make plans for their future care, and those who can be reassured they have little short- term risk, said lead author Dr.David Masur.\u201cIf you score well on these tests, we can confidently say that over the next four years you pro- tably won't be getting dementia,\u201d he said.Dementia basically refers to significant declines in intellectual abilities such as memory and reasoning.Alzheimer\u2019s names, symbols: deiay the person is asked to name the objects.® Person is asked to name as many items as possible in 60 seconds from a category, such as animals or vegetables.@® Person is shown nine symbols, each associated with a number from 1 to 9.Person then is shown a series of numbers and is given 90 seconds down.to find corresponding symbols and copy them disease is the most common kind of dementia.Masur is an associate clinical professor of neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Montefiore Medical Centre in New York.He and colleagues present the study in the August issue of the journal Neurology.While other scientists are doing similar work, Masur\u2019s result \u201cis probably the best in terms of predictive value so far,\u201d said Dr.Leonard Berg, chairman of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association Medical and Scientific Advisory Board.\u201cIt\u2019s good work and it\u2019s important work,\u201d said Berg, a neurologist who directs the Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Research Centre at the Washington University School of Medicine in St.Louis.Masur and Berg called the tests useful for people in their 70s and 80s who are generally healthy and free of multiple medications that could impair their performance on the tests.The study involved 317 healthy people with an average age of 79 who initially showed no sign of dementia.Researchers gave them a battery of psychological tests and then followed them for four years.Then they went back and identified four tests that best predicted dementia.In an interview, Masur noted that the tests did better at identifying people who would remain free of dementia than pointing out those who would develop it.Most dementia is not curable, but early warning that it may be coming allows a person to plan for future care, get financial matters in order and prepare relatives for what may come, Masur said.Key research findings: Key findings of researchers\u2019 tests for dementia: @ 202of 212 people who scored well on psychological tests remained free of dementia for four years following the tests.@ 11 of 13 who scored poorly were diagnosed with dementia within four

fast-tracking refugee claims will allow guerrillas, ter- _ rorists, prostitutes and petty criminals to enter Canada, the \" Reform party\u2019s immigration critic said Monday.Art Hanger released the Immigration and Refugee Board guidelines at a news conference in Vancouver on Monday and demanded the board be scrapped and Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi resign.\u201cImmigration has opened the doors wide and hung out a welcome banner for those who are looking for a patsy nation to call home,\u201d he said.But members of international human rights organizatidns, refugee support groups and the deputy chairman of the board .say Hanger is off base.! PROFILES .The guidelines consist of profi- \u2018les of people from 27 countries : who should be considered for the \u2018fast-track process once other CHANGE: questions of security are answered, said Michael Schelew, deputy chairman of the board.\u201cIf someone fits the profile and is credible and there are no security concerns then they can be reviewed for a hearing,\u201d Schelew said.The Canadian Council for Refugees says the guidelines are a good idea because they help keep the board\u2019s costs down.\u201cThe idea of the expedited process is that when you've got a very high acceptance rate from an area, that you don\u2019t go through the whole (lengthier hearing) process with every individual,\u201d said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of the council.The refugees still go through a hearing process, but it is held faster and before one board member instead of two.\u201cThe expedited process is not a guaranteed acceptance,\u201d Wor- sfold said.David Matas, the council's president, says Hanger\u2019s accusations show he\u2019s ignorant of the refugee determination process.\u201cGuerrillas and terrorists can\u2019t make a refugee claim,\u201d he said.They are screened out by the Immigration Department prior to claimants being referred to the board.Among guideline profiles Hanger objected to were those fast-tracking former guerrillas, homosexuals and prostitutes from Colombia and homeless children suspected of criminal acitivity in that country.Human rights groups say these people would be considered refugees under international conventions.\u201cThese profiles are based on experience, they're based on information, they're based on Spy_made friends with Toronto cops Bristow had access to police data \u2014 CBC TORONTO (CP) \u2014 An alleged CSIS informant and known racist leader had \u201cwide\u201d access to confidential police records, CBC- TV reported Monday.Grant Bristow was able to tap into confidential information through the national police computer system, CBC said.The report said sympathetic officers in a west-end detachment of the Toronto police force provided Bristow with data he wanted even after learning he was a prominent member of the racist Heritage Front.Bristow was on a first-name basis with several detectives and would request information after giving them names and birthda- tes, CBC said, citing unnamed sources.The police computer system is an Ottawa-based network that links the RCMP with other police forces across the country.Access to the system is supposed to be severely restricted.Toronto police chief William McCormack told the CBC that he wants details of the allegation so he can investigate.If the allegations are true, the officers \u201ccertainly would be transgressing the law,\u201d McCor- mack said.Jewish groups and others demanded an investigation after the Toronto Sun reported that Bristow worked as a paid informant for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service during the time he went on to help found the white supremacist Heritage Front.' Later it was disclosed that Bristow acted as a volunteer security guard for Reform Leader Preston Manning during last year\u2019s election campaign, which brought a call from the party for Reform MP knowledge,\u201d said Matas.\u201cHis refusing to accept that is a refusal to accept the reality of the refugee experience.\u201d \u201cMr.Hanger, with all due respect doesn\u2019t understand how the system works,\u201d says Schelew.an investigation into whether Bristow was acting on his own or on behalf of the domestic spy agency.CSIS is also under fire for a Toronto Star report \u2014 adfiftte- dly leaked by a alle to the former Tory government's solicitor general \u2014 that CSIS may have spied on the CBC.Federal inquries into all the allegations are in the works and the former government aide awaits word on whether he will be charged for breach of the Official Secrets Act.Continued from page one - Confederation.\u201cThat's a tough sell after nine , years of government pockmarked by arecession and cons- \u201c titutional failure.: Parizeau was quick to ., remind viewers of the Liberal + record.Johnson was touted as the better debator going into the contest.Expectations were low for Parizeau.But the polls suggested Pari- zeau would have had to walk into the debate singing \u201cGod Save the Queen\u201d to throw his election campaign off the rails.The PQ leader likely exceeded expectations merely by putting aside his penchant for professorial lecturing.Parizeau scored on healthcare problems and the Liberals economic record.Johnson only won the pyrrhic victory of forcing Parizeau to side-step his DEBATE: > e ': Continued from page one :* counter-attacked on the nine- : year-old Liberal government\u2019s ;

carrying out the work, says Embellissement Québec is getting a bad rap.He said the town and its employees identified the trees to had to pay again.\u201d EMPLOYED 40 Cartier said the company initially hired 40 men and paid them $225 for 32 hours work.\u201cSome of them had their welfare cut by $400-500 so they never came back.You can\u2019t blame them.They lost more than they made.\u201d He said the welfare department later made an adjustment in the payments but not before 10 of the workers had quit.U de S gears up for another year will be set up at the Pavillion Univestrie to inform students about services available to them.Twenty different booths will help students get everything from student cards to a loan to buy a computer.As well representatives from the city of Sherbrooke, public

student challenges.r\u2014 es lives!éRegist os be cut.\u201cAfter the people said they don\u2019t want them cut,the municipality wouldn't admit they made a mistake,\u201d Cartier said.\u201cThey let us look like the bad guys.\u201d He said Bromont officials told him they wanted the trees down so they could enlarge the road \u2014 a proposal Gaspé Street residents have consistently opposed.TOWN DECISION \u201cThe town asked us to take off the trees along the street in their jurisdiction \u2014 diseased or not.The town inspector Mr.Fortin came with us to look at the trees, and agreed which ones to cut.\u201d Cartier said a second town representative came to examine the targetted trees and explained that the Ryan Reform had transferred the road to the municipality, but in some instances, the property was never expropriated, therefore didn\u2019t belong to the government.In those instances, Cartier was advised to get written permission from the landowner before cutting.Vacationning Mayor Pierre Bellefleur will return to town hall Tuesday where he will be briefed on the kerfuffle.It was Bellefleur who sent a letter to Embellissement Québec August 3 authorizing the work.Council didn\u2019t pass the resolution until August 15.Only seven of some 30 trees on the country road identified for cutting have actually been cut.Six of the downed trees lined the road in front of Norbert Dunla- vey's home on Gaspé Street.contractor And then on two of the major jobs the company was contracted to carry out, protests from local residents over the tree-cutting prompted municipalities to call a work stoppage.To add insult to injury, Cartier says the company\u2019s name has been unfairly tarnished for carrying out a job that was authorized and overseen by municipalities.\u201cThey made us the bad guys.\u201d Trees were sold back to owners as firewood.NO COMPLAINTS Dunlavey said he doesn\u2019t have any complaints about the cut because he knew most of the trees were diseased and had to go.But he said he was surprised when a man came to his door last week with an official-looking pamphlet advising him the trees were condemned.\u201cI thought they were with the government because they had a pamphlet with the little Quebec flag on it,\u201d Dunlavey said.\u201cI got the feeling they were gliding along without too much expertise,\u201d he added.\u201cThey finally left two of the trees standing at our request and cut the others.\u201d He later bought the trees back as firewood at $25 a cord.Dunlavey\u2019s neighbor Rob Dery came close to losing several trees he believes have been on his property since the mid-1800s.Dery said photos of the original house show the young maples lining the road.He said he felt pressured by the company official into signing a paper authorizing the cut.WARNING Dery said Cartier told him, \u201cI've warned you.Now if someone gets hurt or if your tree falls on a car, your insurance won't cover you.\u201d Dery signed the paper but later protested to city hall.Embellissement Quebec was involved in a similar operation with similar results in Brigham Patrol car shot up QPF arrest Richmond man in disarming of two officers QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Provincial police have arrested an escaped convict suspected of disarmed two officers.Police announced Monday that they had arrested Marc Boisvert, 32, of Richmond, missing since Aug.21 when he failed to return to Waterloo Prison from a day's leave.Boisvert is a suspect in a scuffle Sunday night during which two police officers were disarmed by a man whose car they had pulled over.The two officers stopped a black Lincoln automobile on a country road near St-Camille de Bellechasse, southwest of Quebec City.One officer asked the driver to open the trunk of the Lincoln.Inside the

said.When lumberjacks arrived on North Street two, weeks ago, angry residents called the town demanding an explanation.Maples that we were ¢ supposed to be dead are very much alive.À scuffle

another side of tourism By Ron Seymour Kelowna Courier KELOWNA, B.C.(CP) \u2014 Its, only eight o'clock in the \u2018rhoôrning, .but the temperature is already 28'C under a cloudless Okanagan sky.Sitting in the shade outside the bus depot, two young newcomers to Kelowna are excited by the weather, the scenery and the idea of reinventing themselves in what they've been told is virtually a paradise.\u201cIt\u2019s beautiful here,\u201d says 17-year-old Jill Leonard of Waterloo, Ont., referring to the area\u2019s beaches and orchards.\u201cI've got a friend that\u2019s been telling me for the past two years that I should move out here, and I finally did,\u201d she said, already considering herself a permanent resident even though everything she owns is in a dufflebag beside her.Her companion, 21-year-old Joey Davis, has already scanned the help wanted ads in the local newspaper.If he\u2019s disappointed by the meagre listings, it doesn\u2019t show.\u201cIf I have to lick the streets clean to, get a job, I will,\u201d says Davis, < \u2018three earrings dangling above the collar of his black jean jacket.\u201cI'm tired of being on welfare.\u201d TRANSIENTS ARMY When the bus dropped them off at the depot, Leonard and Davis became two more members in an army of transients that arrive here every summer.The young couple spent four days bumping across the country to get to south-central B.C.They left home with $200 in welfare savings for the usual reasons: no jobs, no prospects.\u201cWe need to start our lives all over again,\u201d says Leonard.\u201cThere was nothing for us in Waterloo.\u201d Transients represent the less glamorous side of tourism.They don\u2019t stay in $90-a-night hotel rooms, they don\u2019t eat $30 meals and they don\u2019t take $5 rickshaw rides downtown.Some critics say transients generate important statistics, however: welfare caseloads, rising crime and diminished supplies at food banks.The number of people applying for welfare rises in nly and August.Residential .eak-ins across the Central Okanagan more than double in July compared with March, police statistics show.And directors of both the drop-in centre and food bank make appeals for help after a run on their stocks.DIM VIEW Many residents in this city of 62,000 have a dim view of transients.\u201cYou only have to read the paper or watch the news to know all the trouble they cause,\u201d says Steve Mirka, a 75-year-old who has lived in Kelowna since the late 1960s.The resentment can go both ways.Graffiti in the bus depot\u2019s washroom says: Help the Young Homeless \u2014 Kill the Seniors.As young people without much education or work experience, Leonard and Davis say they're ready to face some hostility.\u201cAll we want to do is make something with our lives,\u201d says Davis.\u201cWhy should anyone be against that?\u201d Since they had somewhere to stay for their first few days in Kelowna \u2014 with Leonard's friend promising to help them find work \u2014 the young couple were at least better off than others who arrive with no fixed address and only the vaguest notions of how they'll live.\u201cAnything,\u201d says 22-year-old Calvin Marsh, when asked what kind of work he expects to find.\u201cAnything legal, that is.\u201d The influx raises alarms in many Okanagan communities.In Pentic- ton, Chamber of Commerce officials say the annual migration of backpacking fruit pickers has begun to affect the city\u2019s tourist image.Today in History By The Canadian Press Dr.Norman Bethune was formally enshrined as a Canadian hero when the

Canada over the weekend, trying to put the brakes on federal plans for more restrictive firearms \u201ccontrols.At rallies in Prince George, B.C., Edmonton, Toronto and Sydney, N.S., speakers warned the next step would be confiscation of their guns, \u201cCanada needs crime control, not gun control,\u201d Jack Collum, a representative of Responsible Firearms Owners of B.C., told about 1,500 people attending the largest rally in the central B.C.city of Prince George.Justice Minister Allan Rock is looking at banning handguns and _assault rifles, making it tougher to buy ammunition and setting up a national registry for all guns, including hunting rifles.That is a threat to the freedom of Canadians, a Reform MP from Prince George said.\u201cThis goes to the heart of the right to own property and not be deprived thereof without adequate compensation,\u201d said Dick Harris, who represents Prince George- Bulkley Valley.HELP SMUGGLERS Another Reform MP from the region said further tightening of controls will only line the pockets of those who smuggle guns into Canada from the U.S.\u2018\u201c\u201cgun rally against controls supermarket.\u201d \u201cMany of us believe we should own guns to protect our homes, our families and our property,\u201d said J ay Hill, MP for Prince George-Peace River.\u201cWhy does Allan Rock focus on disarming us?\u201d The president of Responsible Firearms Owners of Alberta got a standing ovation from 1,000 people in a placard-waving crowd in Edmonton on Sunday when he called for existing legislation to be scrapped.Merv Grunow said he wondered if the next step after gun registration would be government confiscation of guns.\u201cWe demand a complete rollback of firearm laws as we know them today back to 1978,\u201d Grunow said, referring to restrictions passed in 1991.The Tory government\u2019s gun- control revisions banned some guns, including some types of military-style semi-automatic rifles, and hiked the cost of firearm acquisition certificates by 500 per cent.Rock made an effort Saturday to calm gun owners, telling a crowd of 200 protestors in Sydney he even encourages hunting.\u201cThe way this issue is being ° reported sometimes, you would think I want to take all seven million weapons in Canada and melt them down,\u201d he said.Gun-maker defends an \u2018American tradition\u2019 By David Moore NEWPORT, N.H.(AP) \u2014 He insists it\u2019s not his fault.Yes, William Ruger designed the P-89 semi-automatic pistol.And yes, when Colin Ferguson strafed a Long Island, N.Y., commuter train last December, killing six and wounding 17, his weapon was a P-89 semi-automatic pistol.But no, Ruger says, he is not to blame.\u201cThe world knows it\u2019s not our fault,\u201d says the 78-year-old founder of Sturm, Ruger and Co., one of the largest U.S.firearms makers.\u201cPeople use all sorts of tools to display anti-social or criminal behavior and it doesn\u2019t necessarily say anything about the morality of the manufacturer \u2014 despite the misrepresentation of some false- thinking people.\u201d These \u201cfalse-thinking people\u201d \u2014 people who press for gun control, who blame the gun industry for the carnage on American streets \u2014 vilify him.These days, it\u2019s not easy to be a gun magnate or a tobacco executive, LIFELONG PASSION But for William Ruger, guns have been a lifelong passion.He has spent most of his life designing, refining and manufacturing firearms.His handguns, shotguns and rifles are known for their clean, efficient design and precise workmanship.His first gun, a Remington .22 pump-action rifle, was a gift from his grandfather.Ruger was 12, recovering from scarlet fever.\u201cIt was the mechanism that intrigued me,\u201d he says.\u201cA beautiful, coordinated piece of machinery.\u201d Ruger first designed and built a gun in a neighborhood machine shop when he was still in high school.He dropped out of the University of North Carolina after two years to work on a design for a light machine-gun, then went on to design light weapons for the U.S.army during the Second World War.After the war, Ruger met fellow gun enthusiast Alexander Sturm and, with $50,000 of Sturm\u2019s money, opened Sturm, Ruger and Co.in a rented barn in Southport, Conn.Their first product was a .22-cali- bre automatic pistol that looks much like the famous German Luger.It was an instant and continuing success.His partner died in 1951, but Ruger has built a business that now sells more than $150 million US worth of guns annually, producing them in Newport, Southport, N.H., and Prescott, Ariz. The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, August 30, 1994\u20145 Farm and Business - Human rights on hold for now U.S.enters broad trade, investment policy with China BEIJING (AP) \u2014 The United States and China today signed a broad agreement aimed at expanding trade and investment, though many of the details remain to be discussed.The agreement, signed by U.S.Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and Chinese Foreign Trade Minister Wu Yi, was actually a promise to set up future meetings focusing on 14 areas \u2014 including telecommunications, aviation, the automotive industry and the environment.The agreement also provides for future discussion about U.Straining of Chinese managers and assistance in improving commercial law in China.In remarks at the signing ceremony, Brown emphasized that the agreement was meant to create a long-term trade and investment relationship.He said its most important goal would be to raise the standard of living in both countries.No mention of human rights was made.In May, U.S.President Bill Clinton Stock, bond prices under PQ discount The current earnings and future prospects of some of the better-known companies in Quebec \u2014 among them Provigo, Videotron, and Bombardier \u2014 indicate significantly higher prices for their shares than are now being paid on the exchanges: They would, in fact, get the prices they deserve if they were located anywhere but in Quebec.The difference between what their prices should be and what they are is another example of that emergent phenomenon, the .Péquiste Discount.\u201cTheir customers, in Quebec and elsewhere, will still want Provigo\u2019s groceries, Videotron cable television, Bombardier\u2019s ; vehicles \u2014 no matter which par- Ley wins the election.True \u201cenough.So why the Péquiste : Discount?Because no one knows what will happen if Mr.Parizeau takes office.With his insistence on returning to the party\u2019s interventionist roots, however, a prolonged period of financial uncertainty is the least that can be expected.Investors hate uncertainty.The Péquiste Discount is apparent not only in the stock market.It has been apparent in the bond and exchange markets for some months, but not, it should be added, to a constant degree.Like the discounts on used cars, the Péquiste Discount varies widely.It will vary, for example, with the polling results.If they tend to favor the Liberals, the discount is reduced.If they tend to favor the Parti Québécois, the discount is increased.Business Sense By John Meyer Indeed, the fluctuations in the Péquiste Discount can be so broad that they offer a potentially trading range.Sell short if the Parti Québécois is favored by the polls or, for that matter, other election portents.Buy long if the Liberals are favored.That is what has been happening, at least in principle, in the bond market where Quebec bonds are being touted as a good buy.The bonds have been so cheapened by the Péquiste Discount that they have become more than usually attractive.Those who buy the bonds have two kicks at the cat.The first is on September 12.If the Liberals win, or even if they barely lose, bond prices should strengthen.If the Parti Québécois wins, bond .prices should remain.much the: same.If the Parti Québécois wins, the referendum can\u2019t be far behind.The federalists should win that one hands down and, if they do, bond prices should rise.Supposing though, the referendum is delayed, because Mr.Parizeau knows he'll lose it.Prices still will rise but not as quickly.Payrolls larger: StatsCan OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The number of people on company, government and other payrolls climbed by 0.2 per cent in June to just under 10.5 million, continuing an upward trend that began in January.Statistics Canada said biggest gains were in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, but payroll employment was up in all provinces and territories.The agency said the general health of the economy, which has been growing steadily, suggests \u201cthis trend will continue.\u201d Payroll employment is a narrower measure of the number of working people in Canada.For example, it doesn\u2019t include the self-employed.Manufacturers, wholesalers, mining companies all boosted their payrolls.Retail stores, hotels and restaurants cut their payrolls for the second month in a row.The average weekly earnings also climbed to $571.94 in June, up 2.9 per cent from June 1993.+n announced a decision to separate the issue of normal trade ties from China's human rights practices.FRESH START Brown arrived in Beijing on Saturday with 24 executives of large U.S.corporations for talks the Chinese are hailing as a fresh start for U.S.-China trade.The eight-day mission also will include stops in Shanghai, Canton and in Hong Kong.On Monday, Brown also met with Premier Li Peng and will meet tomorrow with President Jiang Zemin.A senior U.S.government official said Brown raised human rights privately with Li and other Chinese leaders, but would not elaborate on what was said.Only yesterday there were fresh allegations out of China that the bodies of tens of thousands of prisoners executed each year in that country are the source of a booming underground trade in human organs.Brown minced no words in his declaration that Washington plans to provide concerted and effective support for U.S.firms handicapped by restrictions on doing business in China.TILTED FIELD \u201cI don\u2019t want a level playing field,\u201d Brown said, using a phrase most often heard in U.S.trade talks with Japan.\u201cI want a tilted playing field.\u201d Brown said the tilt would come not from unfair advantages, but from easing restrictions on soft loans, export controls and other limits on business with China that have long been linked to political disagreements with the ruling Communist Party.China\u2019s growing trade surplus with the United States \u2014 $23 billion in 1993, second only to Japan \u2014 has given Washington added incentive to concentrate on economic, rather than political, issues.340 rich Canadians paid no taxes thanks to capital gains deduction By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A total of 340 rich people \u2014 earning a cool quarter of a million or more annually \u2014 paid no income taxes in 1992, Revenue Canada said Monday in its annual analysis of tax returns.That tax-free status soared from 190 in the 1991 tax year and 250 in 1990 for individuals earning $250,000 a year or more.The rest of the 37,310 Canadians in that elite income group paid income taxes in 1992.Revenue Canada found the biggest single deduction for the ultra rich was the capital gains tax deduction.That gave those high-income earners about $2 billion in income tax deductions in 1992 \u2014 almost half of the total capital Teleworkers use computers Stay-home employees more popular By Robert Brehl Toronto Star TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Carol Cou- pland is living a working parent\u2019s dream by always being home to greet her kids from school.The Bank of Montreal employee is part of a growing social, corporate and technological trend called \u201ctelecommuting\u201d or \u201ctelework\u201d \u2014 being able to work at home instead of travelling to the office.\u201cHonestly, I would have to consider other job opportunities if this was taken away,\u201d says Coupland, who has been teleworking for a year at her Toronto-area home.Coupland spends her day as a sales manager for electronic services offered by the bank, such as collecting accounts receivable via computers for corporate customers.Her own work is linked to the office via a personal computer hooked into the telephone.But her favorite time is 3:45 p.m., when she takes her afternoon break and Arran and Michael tell her about the day at school.It\u2019s not a substitute for child care, Coupland says, as she also has a nanny.But not having to > - \u201cVista Bella\u201d Apples KTM commute gives her more time to be with her children.Telework is different from running your own business from home: these teleworkers are corporate employees working on personal computers away from the office.NUMBERS RISING Its estimated 500,000 Canadians are teleworking part time or full time.À recent U.S.study found 7.6 million Americans teleworking last year, up 15 per cent from the previous year.Despite the lure of working from home, some warn that employees should be wary.Some unions and managers fear it, for opposite reasons.Unions are concerned companies will use it to drive employees even harder, while some managers think it's a way for employees to slough off work and watch TV talk shows.Margaret Oldfield, a telework researcher and author of The Electronic Cottage: Boon or Bane for Mothers, says it\u2019s a way for corporations to cut costs and gains deductions claimed by all Canadians.The capital gains deduction \u2014 which had allowed a lifetime exemption of $100,000 for various investments \u2014 was eliminated in the new Liberal government\u2019s first budget in February of this year.It was wiped out as part of the federal government's tax fair- offer professionals and managers flexibility while \u201cghettoizing\u201d low-paid clerical workers, most of whom are women.She also warns it could increase contracting-out work and cut employees\u2019 benefits and security in the long run.In addition, there are questions of workplace safety.ABUSE POSSIBLE \u201cI have interviewed people working at home in basements without proper lighting and sitting on kitchen chairs with telephone books,\u201d Oldfield says.Still, others say companies are seeing the benefits by offering telework programs: \u2014Worker productivity increases, on average 10 to 40 per cent depending on the job, say several North American studies.\u2014Employee stress, caused by congested traffic or packed public transit, decreases.Employee sick days and absenteeism also drop, studies show.\u2014Pollution also decreases.À British Columbia company reduced employee travelling by ness package.In total, that highest income group still paid $6.1 billion in net federal and provincial income taxes on a total income of $18.6 billion for 1992.The increase in the number of high income earners escaping taxes may also have resulted from tax writeoffs due to losses on investments because of the early 1990s recession.65,000 kilometres in one year and that translated into cutting pollutants spewing into the air by 2.3 tons.\u2014There are big money savings, both for the employee and the

Varicose veins, bulging as a result of prolonged high pressure within the veins, can be unsightly and painful.But treatments that can provide relief are available.Increased pressure in the veins often arises from such factors as pregnancy, obesity and frequent and long periods of - Standing.Sometimes varicose veins can affect the deep veins within the muscles and cannot be seen or felt.But mostly the condition manifests itself in the veins lying just under the skin, most frequently in the legs and feet.Varicose veins take two forms.Spider veins are the small pattern of bluish veins that often resemble a spider's web.Large varicose veins appear tortuous, and dark blue.Spider veins are generally painless, have no significant impact on health and usually do not require treatment.But if these veins are bothersome to a person\u2019s vanity, they can be treated by what is known as injection sclerotherapy.A salt-water solution is injected into one or several of the visible veins, causing the tiny veins to fill with scar tissue and blocking the blood flow.Spider veins generally fade within a week after treatment and tend to disappear completely within a month, Large varicose veins, on the other hand, can become painful and can be the site of throm- bophlebitis or swelling within the area where they are located.Steps can be taken by the patient to reduce the discomfort they produce.For example, the person affected should avoid standing or sitting for long periods.Elevating the legs about 30 centimetres (12 inches) above the heart level can also temporarily relieve pressure within the veins.Large varicose veins are not often considered a health threat in adults and may not require examination and treatment.But people with veins that are painful or swollen, or who have bled Pecoril Getting relief from the pain of varicose veins from a varicose vein, should undergo a medical evaluation.Varicose veins can predispose a patient to superficial venous thrombophlebitis, a blood clot rerociated with inflammation and painful hard red lumps known as cords in the superficial veins.This condition most commonly occurs in the legs and is often mistaken for an infection in that area.It generally requires further treatment by a medical professional.To alleviate pain and swelling from varicose veins, doctors may prescribe special elastic stockings that provide support and pressure in the lower portions of the legs.In severe cases, surgical removal of the affected vein may be suggested.This procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis.Pregnant women often get varicose veins because the fetus impedes blood flow.But varicose vein problems occurring during pregnancy usually resolve themselves within a year after the birth.Staking newly planted trees without destroying them By James Walters The Associated Press \u2018Many newly planted trees often need staking to hold them upright until their root system develops.But some are staked even if they don\u2019t need it, to their detriment.For starters, remember that it takes two to tango.Likewise, if staking is required, it takes two stakes.You always should have a justifiable reason for any staking, such as trunk support, root anchorage or wind protection.Helping : This small group of people \u201cdedicated to giving volunteer assistance to USC Canada (Uni- \u201ctarian Service Committee) has \u201cbeen in existance for one year.\u201cIts objective is to increase public \u201cawareness about USC and to rai- \u201c8e funds for it.USC is Canada\u2019s oldest development

problem is that we have never had intercourse, On our wedding night, we tried, but nothing happened.We tried a few more times, but still nothing happened.When we returned from our honeymoon, 1 went to our family doctor.He said I was perfectly normal, but sometimes it takes more effort and more trying.Properly set stakes are opposite each other, anchored outside the root ball and attached by a flexible tie at only one point on the trunk.Such placement allows the trunk to move slightly in the wind and develop taper.Trees sold in containers by commercial nurseries usually come with only one stake.Such rigid staking increases production space, thereby cutting the initial cost to customers.If left with a single stake, however, it can lead to trees with weak, spindly trunks and little wind

resistance.If you doubt this, check trees growing in the wild.Their trunks usually are well tapered, with the greatest diameter at the base and a smaller diameter as one moves up the trunk.Such tapering allows for equal weight distribution along the entire height of the tree.Many experts believe the taper results from the gentle swaying of trunks in the wind.Field-grown nursery trees have this desirable taper and usually need no staking after the USC large classes of them, and not the first day back.at school.A simple breakfast and a place to meet old friends is being offered in

if transplanting.On the other hand, a container-grown tree often will be too tall and the trunk too weak to support itself.When this is the case, experiment by bending the canopy slightly to one side.The point where the tree returns to upright will be where ties should be attached.Unless the single-style staking is reworked, trunk development is slowed, top growth delayed and root development set back.Not all newly planted trees need staking, of course, but fast growers \u2014 such as eucalyptus \u2014 almost always do.Species such as conifers generally never need it.Multi-trunked trees have - good wind resistance, so they seldom need it unless for a particular effect.some tips By The Canadian Press Tips on how to succeed in university from people who run programs for first-year students: \u2014 Take advantage of orientation programs and sessions on studying and managing time.Call campus student services to find out what's available.\u2014 Ask, questions.Ask other Staking is usually necessary in formal landscapes, such as along roads, around commercial buildings, where space is often restricted, and in windy sites.In those cases, limit the ties to the top.Ties near the bottom are not recommended.They actually provide another point for damage from rubbing or girdling.Support staking should be removed as soon as possible, usually the first year after planting.If a tree can\u2019t stand by itself after a year, check for causes that can be corrected, such as shallow watering.Proper pruning will improve the health and function of many plants.It also can transform an ordinary-looking specimen into a striking form.But proper pruning requires a knowledge of how the plant grows so it responds the way you want it to.And to minimize pruning later on, select plants well suited to their place in the landscape.To restore a balance between top and root growth, transplanted trees often need pruning if their roots have been damaged in the process.Young trees also may require training to develop strong branch structure.Don\u2019t do this with species having naturally irregular or sprawling growth habits.Oaks, for example, do best with minimal pruning.For most species, however, it is desirable to control and direct growth.Take the time to first study growth habit and eventual needs.Incorrect pruning can cause serious defects.on starting university what's

to be a busy one for the members of the Fordyce branch of the Women\u2019s Institute.On Monday, it was with sadness that we said \u201cFarewell\u201d to a long and faithful member, when a number of the members gathered to pay our respects, with the W.1.Memorial Service, in the evening for Edna Longeway.The beautiful service was conducted by Evelyn Lewis, County President and Verna Patterson, Branch President.Following the reading of \u201cPassing Through\u201d, Verna read a loving tribute to Edna for her devotion to the W.1.Seven carnations, in our W.I.colors, to represent the remaining Charter Members, were placed on the coffin along with the W.I.bow by members of the branch.After the 23rd Psalm was repeated by all, the members, after a slight pause, filed out in twos.Edna had been a member for 47 years and although in failing health the last few years, still kept her membership and interest in all our activities.On Tuesday, we served refreshments following the funeral.Wednesday, on a happier note, eight cars carrying members and guests left the shopping centre in Cowansville at 9 a.m.to spend the day at Manoir de Clarenceville.With maps and directions, issued by Verna Patterson, everyone arrived together, so as a group, we were welcomed by our guide, who gave us time to look around before being called together by a bell.We were then asked to divide OUR SPECIAL THANKS TO: =] sagg CHOICE HOTELS CaN Ina iN \u2014-ces ourselves into two groups, one men and the other women and asked to \u201cshuck\u201d the two piles of cobs of corn on the tables.The couple, who found the cobs with the black marks on them were declared the \u201cKing\u201d and \u201cQueen\u201d for the day.Sad to say that honor did not go to our group.We were then asked to go to one of the buildings, where we had the pleasure of seeing the \u201cRoyalty\u201d crowned.l\u2019m sure that no head of state had as much fun at their crowning as our \u201cRoyals\u201d and had and gave as much fun to their subjects.Imagine a king being asked to strut, as a rooster in a barnyard full of hens, and showing his pleasure by crowing, at being there, and a queen, who had to be one of the hens enjoying the chase.The festivities continued with music, allowing the seniors to prove that they could still hold their own on the dance floor.Called to still another building, we were ushered to tables of six to eight to enjoy a delicious meal.Presented in tureens or platters, we could serve ourselves to hot soup followed by ham., mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and coleslaw, with warm rolls.Dessert was custard pie and chocolate cake.During the meal, we were entertained by singing and the antics of the waiters, with our \u201cRoyals\u201d on the dais, above us.Certificates were handed out to the \u2018Ç visitors for the day \u2014 a group from ; Hemmingford and ourselves.There : was also a bus load from Albany, U.S., who were staying overnight.The grounds being both beautiful and interesting, time was again ; given to roam, before being called to enjoy eating the steaming cobs of corn.À ride around the property in a bus, decorated to look like an ancient vehicle, completed the day.By the many thanks, which Irene Williams received from those present, for both suggesting and organizing the trip, it is safe to say that the outing was a great success.Many expressed interest in returning in the fall, when we understand a complete change of menu and activities take place.As the summer is slipping away all too fast, it is hoped that the members will enjoy the remaining days, before it is time to get together on September 7 for the start of our fall activities.Cesc ccsssmaatsacNASRSenan a Cm me 0 2m ee mee sean :55- 000024 -e-n4cancannt sauna us ror al

eldest of seven children born to Signe and Peter Helder.All of whom have predeceased her.She married Walter Atkins on October 12, 1924 at her parents\u2019 home in Balaton.The newly weds took up residence in Huron, South Dakota.It was here their daughter, Marjorie, was born in October 1927.In 1930 the family, travelling by car, began the long journey to Bury, Quebec where Walter\u2019s family resided.It was here their son, Raynerd, was born September 15, 1931.He was killed in July 1955 in a parachute mishap.In the mid thirties the family moved to Sherbrooke for four years and then on to Nitro, Quebec for the duration of the war where Clara was an active member of the Red Cross.She knitted at least one article a week as well as sewing many items for \u2018the boys\u2019.With the war over, the family returned to Bury after a short time in Sherbrooke.Clara became an enthusiastic member of the Bury UCW and was their treasurer for 37 years.She was a long time member of the Bury Rebekah Lodge and became a past district deputy president.She was also a member of the Bury Women\u2019s Institute.For many years she was a member of the Sherbrooke LOBA to become a past grand mistress.For many years Clara and Walter sang in the Bury United Church Choir.She enjoyed thoroughly being part of a group of Bury folk singing \u2018the old songs\u2019 and putting on skits to entertain at local events.Many July 1st celebrations would see her busy working long hours on a float and often riding on one in the parade.Clara and Walter took many trips to visit relatives and friends and with various Lodges in Canada and the U.S.A.One vacation was spent touring Mexico with Arthur and Gertie Atkins.Their summers were usually spent in Warren, Ontario in the house built by Walter\u2019s parents.In 1989 the couple decided to eliminate the twice yearly long trips and moved to Warren where Clara made many new friends.They were looking forward to a family reunion and an early celebration of their 70th wedding anniversary on August 8.On July 13 Clara became ill and was rushed by ambulance to the Sturgeon Falls Hospital.Here she suffered a severe heart attack.On July 23 at 7:45 p.m.she passed away.Walter and their grandson, Brian were at her bedside.Only a few hours earlier her sister-in-law, Mabel Jacklin of Parry Sound had been in to visit her.She is survived by her husband, Walter, and daughter Marjorie.Also by four grandchildren, Brian and wife Marcia from Winnipeg, Bruce and his wife Anne Marie of London, Ont., Angela, also from London, and Brent and wife Lena from Clearbrook, B.C.She has left five great-grandchildren, David, Valerie, Brandy, Christopher and Kurtis.All were together at Warren where the planned dinner was still held as Clara would have wished.Other out of town guests were Ger- tie Atkins and Howard Atkins of Deep River, Lyn Gee of Chalk River, Doris and Bernie Meilleur, Burlington, Ontario.A beautiful memorial service was held August 8 at 7:00 p.m.in the Warren United Church.Rev.Elizabeth Fraser officiated and Mrs.Fran Montgomery read the eulogy.One of the two hymns sung was Clara\u2019s favourite \u2014 Blest Be The Tie

encore By Phillip Alder As you discovered yesterday, if you pass, your partner opens and you make a jump shift on the second round, you show a maximum pass with length in both the suit you have bid and the suit partner opened.The North hand in today\u2019s diagram is a textbook example.After his partner\u2019s fit-showing jump, South bid his club suit.Then a lot of cue-bidding took place.How would you play in six diamonds after West has led a heart?Clearly, you must establish your club suit while restricting your losers to one.There are two reasonable lines.The first, which is difficult to spot, is to draw one round of trumps with an honor in hand and continue with three rounds of clubs.When West follows to the third club, discard dummy\u2019s heart loser.In a moment, you ruff your heart loser low in the dummy and ruff a club with dummy\u2019s diamond queen, establishing your clubs.However, you can improve on this basic plan.You ruff the third club with dummy\u2019s diamond queen.This works nicely if the clubs break 3-3.But when East discards, you cash dummy\u2019s spade ace, ruff a spade and lead a club, discarding dummy\u2019s heart.Suppose West forces you with a spade lead.You just ruff your heart loser in the dummy, draw trumps and claim.If a ruff in one suit is dangerous due to the risk of an overruff, always bear in mind the loser-on-loser play, so that you can take a safe ruff in another suit.Your Birthday Tuesday, Aug.30, 1994 There might not be many free rides for you in the year ahead, yet your possibilities for making your mark in the world are better than they have been for quite some time.Establish meaningful objectives and proceed.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) In order to succeed today, you must have the courage of your convictions.H you truly believe in something, don't let others create doubts in your mind.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 to Matchmaker, c/o this newspaper, P.O.Box 4465, New York, N.Y.10163.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Ambitious objectives can be fulfilled today if you're willing to pay the price.Victory has its cost, but the achievements will be worth it.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Participate in involvements today that afford you pleasure, but are also meaningful.If you feel something is useful, you'll do it well.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) You could be remarkably successful today in an arrangement where you strive to do something for another.You have the ability to accomplish what he/she cannot.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) You shouldn't have any problems making difficult decisions today, because your judgment is very sharp.You'll be able to understand both sides of any issue.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) The probabilities for personal gain are higher than usual for you today.In fact, your chart indicates you might reap rewards from two unrelated sources.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Because your instincts for tolerance will dominate, dealing with persons others find too difficult to contend with might be a piece of cake for you today.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Conditions in general might undergo an impressive transformation today.Things which were too hard to accomplish yesterday could now be accomplished with relative ease and satisfaction.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An old friend for whom you've had very little time lately is beginning to question the relationship.He/she would be enormously happy to hear from you today.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Invoivements that pertain to your career, finances, or both, should be given major consideration today.These could be the areas where you'll be the most fortunate.CANCER (June 21-July 22) À plan you recently developed has good potential, and others think so as well.However, you must take the initiative and do something about it today.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) You might reap benefits today through someone you've helped in the past.You may have forgotten about the incident, but this person hasn't.©1994 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Sutton Mable Boyce Mr.and Mrs.Gordon Hebert, Middlebury, Vt., spent a few days with his sister Mrs.Daisy Johnston,
