The Wall.Continued from page one Westmount forward by Mr.Bernier in a letter received by the city June 5.The proposal calls for a wall 1,350 feet ong to be built between the CPR tracks and the new Trans-Canada Highway.To be effective as a noise barrier, the wall would have to rise 16 feet above the level of the highway which would mean the wall itself would have to be several times that height.After conducting engineering Examiner, Thursday, July 20, 1972 studies, Westmount had decided it does not approve of building the wall and has asked the QHC for a definite yes or no decision on the whole project in light of this.The four major problems in building the wall are formidable, Westmount General Manager Norman Dawe outlined this week.For proper noise studies to be made after the highway opens in November, there would be about a year\u2019s delay in even starting the project.Access to the site to construct a wall is another problem.Construction, says Mr.Dawe would MON.TUES.WED.THURS.FRIDAY needs.WESTMOUNT BRANCH (SHERBROOKE & VICTORIA) CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE announces BANKING HOURS We hope that you will find our new, extended hours convenient and we assure you that whether you work, live or shop in this area, our branch is at your service with the facilities and personnel to meet all your banking > CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE 10 am -3 pm 10am -

Editorial Notes ONLY excuse we can find for adding our two cents\u2019 worth to the Russia-Canada, NHL-WHA, Trudeau-Campbell hub-bub over one Mr.Hull is that Westmounters, too, are talking about it\u2014and things are pretty quiet around the parish pump.Ours is one cent's worth of cynicism over the prattling about \u2018sportsmanship\u2019 and Canada\u2019s \u2018\u2018honor.\u201d And one cent\u2019s worth of admiration for one Mr.Clarence Campbell's honesty when he said, and no one appears to accept at face value, that the choosing of Canada\u2019s hockey team to play Russia is purely and simply a business proposition, specially so far as he and the NHL owners are concerned.Indeed, the whole picture of paid athletics would come into focus if the word \u2018\u2018business\u2019\u2019 were substituted for \u2018professional.It perhaps was not planned this way, but the fuss could not have been better contrived to put business hockey on the map during a season when business baseball and even business football are getting all the free ink and air time.+ + + WESTMOUNTER Hon.Dr.Victor C.Goldbloom 5 Grove park, Quebec minister of the environment, isn\u2019t exactly vacationing this week.The ministerial time table mentions only two other members of the provincial cabinet, each for one engagement.The Hon.Dr.has no less than six.Saturday he was visiting students studying Lake Mem- phremagog and that evening attended a meeting of the Massawippi Water Protection group at North Hatley.Monday it was a public meeting on the disposal of solid garbage at Three Rivers and appearance at the Kiwanis Club there.Today he is on another solid waste kick at St.Roch des Aulnais for the Kamouraska-l'Islet region, and tomorrow he meets with French summer school students at Douglas Hall of McGill University.A busy Westmounter.+ + + BANKS used to put their public emphasis on taking in your money.Night repositories were the ultimate, so you could

Commons rose to interrupt the fourth session of the 28th Parliament almost two weeks ago, but unfortunately this did not signify any let-up in the workload for the members of the cabinet.Instead of returning to our constituencies or taking a vacation as so many of the members of Parliament did or were able to do, my colleagues and I had to cope with an uninterrupted schedule of cabinet meetings which lasted five long and hot days.The purpose was to dispose of much of the outstanding business for which there was no time for discussion during the last hectic weeks of the session.There was also the task of firming up the plans for the resumption of this session which is slated for the end of September.Fortunately, this period has now ended and the ministers are free to divide up the next few weeks between holidays and visits to their ridings.The Treasury Board, which is one department whose activities generally subside less than the average during the summer, has completed a large part of its review of departmental spending estimates.This means that it will not need to convene as frequently for the next while, which of course frees me to some extent from my desk in Ottawa.Later, the world But before devoting subsequent columns to more worldly subjects, I would like to take this opportunity to review the outstanding legislative record which this Parliament has compiled.One method of measuring a Parliament's productivity is the number of sitting days per session.Compared to the sessions which sat during the period 1960 to 1968, the first two sessions of the present Parliament have been considerably more industrious and energetic.Whereas Parliament sat an average of 142 days per session over the previous eight-year period, we sat 176 days on the average during the first two sessions of the current Parliament.Another valid comparison is the number of public bills passed per session: during the previous period Parliament enacted, on average, 46 public bills per session compared to 65 during the latter period.The number of pages of enacted legislation has risen from an average of 461 to 659.In other words, this Parliament had to deal with approximately 1%, times as many pages of enacted legislation per sitting day as it did on an average during the sessions from 1960 to 1968.Greater acceleration In turing to the legislative performance of the third session of this Parliament, one can see an even greater acceleration of activity.Compared to an average of 148 sitting days per session during the 1960s, the third session sat 243 days.It enacted 65 Imperial Bank of Commerce is practicing a bit of one-upmanship.The branch at Victoria and Sherbrooke now offers instant cash, any hour of the day or night, seven days a week, from a gadget on the outside which dispenses pouches containing $30 each.You need not even have an account at the Com- merce\u2014being a Chargex card-holder will do.With a special coded plastic card and a confidential number.a subscriber to the dispenser service can make up to 10 $30 withdrawals a week and up to 200 a year.Maybe cash is coming back in fashion.+ + + A VERY large raspberry to our national broadcasting outfit, the CBC, thanks to its still-lame local morning replacement Continued on page five public bills when the average during the last decade was only 49.Indicative of the technical and complex nature of modern legislation, the third session passed on the average 1,037 pages of legislation compared to an average of 497 in the sessions between 1960 and 1970.I think that this is an outstanding record of which all parties represented in Parliament can be very proud.Of course, not all the legislation introduced by the government became law, and many of the bills which eventually were passed did so only after prolonged debate, which makes ithe records mentioned above all the more remarkable.Ti 2 Wevtmaant Toamsues én mt Rei Ymorowns.Ct » & Thirty-five Years Ago July 23, 1937 \u201cThe condition of

5 our M.P.Q.Hon.Kevin Drummond says.Our peripatetic member It was an unhappy trip, last Thursday, to Seven Islands.The occasion was the funeral services for my colleague and parliamentary secretary, Henri Coiteux, the member for Duplessis.This riding, as well as including Seven Islands, encompasses the entire lower North Shore.The vastness of this territory was, in part, the cause of Henri's death.He took sick while visiting one of the outermost areas.Before he could be transported to a hospital he contacted double pneumonia and this added complication doomed his fight for life.The next day it was off to Taschereau in Abitibi West to inaugurate the construction of a new sawmill by the regional federation of co-operatives.As good as Jagger This was a happy event and the day was made even more memorable by the enthusiastic reception we received.There was dinner for about 200 persons, followed by entertainment put on by the members of the co-operative.While the show mightn\u2019t have been as slick as that put on by Mick Jagger at the Forum, the joint was jumping and I'm sure the audience had just as good as time.It was difficult to leave prior to the end of festivities but a Saturday trip to the Gaspe was on the program, The little town of Esprit Saint was celebrating the 35th anniversary of the - parish and the first anniversary of Operation Dignity Number Two \u2014 a pilot project which is geared to rationalize the development of private forest lots within six parishes.There were a lot of politicians on hand, both federal and provincial, and we were certainly made aware of what was being done correctly (that took a short time) as well as what was going badly (considerably longer).Then back home later Saturday night.It was nice to see the kids on Sunday, but 5:30 in the morning was just a bit early.swimming session in the afternoon, which might be difficult to control, but I cannot accept the exclusion of my child from a program which should make him fit for the time when he will be on his own.This is a discrimination toward working mothers of small children\u2014a fact with which all cities will have to cope in the future.Christa Bartholl-Toepffer 443 Claremont avenue, WESTMOUNT 217 Rolling Stones medics grateful for assistance Sir: The medical team located in Cabot park for the Rolling Stones concert July 17, + ee S05 would like to thank the follwing groups from the Westmount community who assisted the doctors, nurses, and community workers from the Montreal Children's Hospital, The Jewish General Hospital, St.- John Ambulance and youth clinics in treating 45 first aid and drug problems in a medical tent: 4424 Youth Clinic for staff and supplies; Westmount Health Department nurses, and Westmount Public Safety Department for two stretchers.Thank you very much for your valuable efforts.June McLellan Community Worker Office for Community & Social Development 1210 Greene avenue WESTMOUNT 215.The following titles are selected from the Westmount Public Library's July booklist: Fiction Harold Acton.Tit for tat; and other tales.Paul Brodeur.Downstream.Agatha Christie.Murder-go- round.George Feifer.The girl from Petrovka.Paul Gallico.The zoo gang.Brian Garfield.Relentless.Eleanor Hibbert.Victoria in the wings.John Hopkins.Tangier buzzless flies.Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.An experience of India.Agnes Keith.Beloved exiles.Frank Kenyon.My brother Napoleon.Robert Ludlum.The Osterman weekend.Ralph Maloney.The Nixon recession caper.Ethel Mannin.The curious adventure of Major Fosdick.Alberto Moravia.The two of us.Marian Palmer.The wrong Plantagenet.Frederic Prokosch.America, my wilderness.SE Simon Raven.Sound of the retreat.Douglas Reeman.Rendezvous\u2014 South Atlantic.George Shipway.The paladin.Leo Simpson.Arkwright.Jesse Stuart.Dawn of remembered spring.Auberon Waugh.A bed of flowers.Violet Weingarten.A woman of feeling.French Agatha Christie.Nemesis.Michel De Saint-Pierre.L\u2018Ac- cusee.Vercors.Sillages.Louise de Vilmorin.Le Woman faints, A 24-year-old Westmount woman was injured Friday morning when she fainted at the wheel of her car which then hit two parked cars before coming to an abrupt stop.Miss Margaret Garland, 288 Grosvenor avenue, was driving north on Grosvenor in her 1969 MG when, south of Sherbrooke, she fainted.lutin New books at the Westmount sauvage.Jean Sendy.L\u2019ere du Verseau.Jean Manolesco.Vaudou et magie noire.Alfred Tajan.Pourquoi des dyslexiques?Jean Labrie.La Taxidermie.Maurice Genevois.Bestiaire sans oubli.Abraham Moles.Le kitsch.Biography Paul Bowles.Without stopping.Anthony Scaduto.Bob Dylan.Christopher Isherwood.Kathleen and Frank.Madeleine L\u2019Engle.A circle of quiet.prangs MG car She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by Westmount Police patrol car where she was treated for cuts on her lips and right arm and for her fainting spell, the cause of which is not immediately known.Her car sufferred approximately $500 damage and the parked cars had damages of about $200 each.Library Unity Hall.Emily, the Moroccan princess.Lois Lang-Sims.A time to be born.D.Noonan.The passion of Fulton Sheen.Gerard Willam Van Loon.The story of Hendrik Willem Van Loon.History and travel George Steiner.In Bluebeard\u2019s castle.Milton Grundy.Venice recorded.Helen Miller.Greece through the ages.Lisa Hobbs.Running towards life.Margaret Taylor.Focus on the Falkland Islands.J.Harris.The legacy of Egypt.Geoffrey Hindley.Medieval warfare.Sunday times, Insight team.Ulster.Philip Ziegler.King William IV.Rubeigh Minney.Hampton Court.Joseph Barry.Passions and politics.Stanley Loomis.friendship.Townsend Miller.Henry IV of Castile.Geoffrey Cotterell.Amsterdam.The fatal Youu find our Flumbers not so dumb Ask anyone For whom they plumb, JOHN WATSON (QUEBEC) Ltd Hartley Barber, President PLUMBING & HEATING CONTRACTORS DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE Service & Quotations on request 368 VICTORIA AVE.487-1760 Hi ge LE te daptt 0 TN 40 00 tol oily CHURCH PR 6 -

sit in the kitchen and try to write down all of your possessions in the living room.You'll miss a number of items.Think how difficult it would be to supply a list once the items were Stolen.Two firemen suffer smoke in Qutremont Two Westmount firemen were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation at a fire in Outremont Sunday morning.Westmount\u2019s No.2 Station was called for mutual aid at 9 o'clock to a house fire at 836 Dollard avenue in Outremont.At the scene, Fireman Leslie Smith sufferred smoke inhalation and was taken to hospital where he was kept for observation for 48 hours.When the firemen returned to the station, Fireman Robert Myles complained of chest pains and difficulty breathing.He was then taken to hospital but was released the same day.Both men have fully recovered and are how back on duty.As the elderly are the biggest users of prescription drugs, most of the efforts are concentrated in informing senior citizens through centres such as Westmount\u2019s on how to save money when buying drugs.Though they concentrate on the elderly, Maureen Newman, who runs the service, says they are out to educate everyone of all ages because she has found that \u201cnobody seems to know very much at all about buying drugs.\u201d To help, they have prepared a comparative price list and a sheet outlining six steps to follow when buying a prescription drug.These are: Do not think that your doctor has not helped you if you do not leave his office with a prescription; Understand the name of your medication, the strength and quantity prescribed and the directions for use; Ask your doctor to prescribe the drug by generic name or, where this is not possible, to prescribe the least expensive brand product; Practice comparative shopping; Ask that your medication be in a fully labelled container; Ask that your drug be dispensed in a safety container.Poison control The last two recommendations are a result of the origins of the prescription service.It grew out of a campaign launched last year by doctors in the poison control department of the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital for safer drug containers and better labels to help cut down the number of accidental poisonings by curious children.In the course of that campaign it was realized the public could also use more information on all aspects of prescription drugs.From that start Ms.Newman feels the centre has come quite far but she realizes they have only just started to get the general public informed.\u201cIt will still take many years of bombardment with information to educate the public in all aspects of prescription drugs,\u201d she said.Sees aid coming The centre is optimistic that help in its campaign will be coming soon from the Quebec government.The passage of Bill 255 would allow pharmacists to substitute cheaper brands of the same drug when filling a prescription for a specific, higher-priced brand.This means the choice of brand of drug to be used will no longer rest only with the doctor.Another government effort the centre hopes will be useful will be the publication next month by the government of a complete comparative price list of all prescription drugs.With this list, doctors and patients will be able to discover readily the cheapest brand of each drug.Ever see or hear raves abuut our FTD CALENDAR?À personal visit and à cash order will guarantee your 1973 Calendar.GERALD McKENNA Flowers 6006 Sherbrooke St.West Ë Qu iD Tel: 487-1300 _\u2014Preseription help-\u2014 - - \u2014- SERVICES > fe) CUBS VISIT HERE FROM B.C.: This group of 24 Wolf Cubs and their leaders arrived in Montreal by air Saturday from Vancouver as guests of the Montreal District Council and are billeted in Westmount homes during the first week of their stay.They will then spend a week at Camp Jackson Dodds.The group arrived in a heavy rain but with undampened spirits.(Photo by Ed Samson).Unity robbed Eighty dollars was taken from sometime last Tuesday night.various desks at the Unity Boys\u2019 The thief entered the building by Club, 1090 Greene avenue, breaking a front window.THE PRIORY SCHOOL INC.3120 THE BOULEVARD, MONTREAL, 218 Junior Day School for boys and girls from Pre-School to éth year inclusive.Small classes, awareness of individual needs.Emphasis on French from the beginning.For Further information call The Principal: MISS McCONNON, B.A.935-5966 Serving the Medical Profession since 1898 Free Pick-up & Delivery DRUG STORE on ALL Pharmacy Needs Complete Rental of: wheelchairs, crutches, hospital beds, bathroom safety aids, walkers, etc.1645 St.Catherine St.W.Eu For information 932-1127 How about it?Monday à Fu TS \u2018 The W | Flares 14S\u2014PERSONALS .e estmount Examiner, Thursday, Jul hh a y.July 20 3 Charter 8 ott ee = Information To Europe Airtours- 866-5900.866-0770 \u2019 TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY 3 .)

Vancouver, and Illinois, as well as an exchange student visiting the club from France.Next week the club's newest honorary member, Mayor Paul Ouimet, is to visit the club for the first time officially and will be the speaker on current municipal concerns.Dejeweled Two pieces of jewelry worth $725 were reported stolen Sunday from an apartment at 4998 de Maisonneuve boulevard.There was no sign of forced entry.We often wish that we could find something that tasted as good as the nickel ice cream sodas_we bought 50 years ago.Glass depot shuts | Both good and bad news to those concerned about recycling of glass and newspapers in Westmount.First the good news.The city\u2019s July pick-up of old newspapers was a record 8,000 pounds.The previous high was 5,300 pounds.City officials could offer no special reason for the sudden increase but mentioned that if the volume gets higher in coming months they will have to consider making two pick-ups a month.Now the bad news.The plan for re-cycling glass has not worked as well and the collection depot at the Tupper Renovations along Greene are delayed Renovation plans for the provincially-owned houses that were saved from demolition for the Trans-Canada highway have been delayed while Quebec studies new cost estimates for the work, it was learned yesterday.The renovation plan was announced by General Manager Norman Dawe at a June 20 meeting of Westmount City Council.He said then that Quebec had agreed to spend up to $3,500 to renovate the mostly-vacant homes.Since that announcement, estimators have been at work in the area assessing the necessary repairs.They discovered that to fully renovate the houses would cost about $6,000 a unit.The unexpected high costs are being taken into consideration as Quebec re-examines its plans for the area.Murray Hill repaving set; takes 3 weeks Public works crews Monday will move on to Murray Hill and for the next three weeks different sections of that street will be closed to traffic while a new base is made for the road.The work is being done ahead of schedule so that the sidewalk and road work can be done at once.City Engineer Ed McCavour says the road will be done in three sections, from Westmount to Grenville avenues: from Grenville to Douglas avenues, and from Douglas to The Boulevard.Each section will take about a week to do.Only one section of the street will be closed at a time to minimize inconvenience to residents.Similar work is being done this summer on Arlington and Strathcona avenues.The city this week called for tenders to do the final resurfacing on these and other city streets.The tenders will be opened Aug.2 and the paving done at various times this fall.No matter where your family goes for summer fun, make sure your children never go near the water alone.A child\u2019s failure to respect the water could end in tragedy.So teach your children to avoid taking risks and to stay alive with Red Cross water safety all summer lphg.parking lot has been closed temporarily.Too much metal City officials say it has been closed to \u201c\u201ciron out the bugs in the system and to think of different ways of doing it.\u201d\u2019 Major problem, they say, is that citizens were dumping glass in the bins without first removing tops and metal rings.As a result, Dominion Glass rejected the last two loads of glass from the depot.When it reopens, the city hopes to have solved this problem and they are now at work studying various plans, the easiest of which would be to get more co-operation from those using the depot.in Chimney Repairs and Slate Roofs.JUL BO CONSTRUCTION LTD.227 Lakeshore Drive, Pointe Claire 697- Specializing SINCE 1927 Repairs & Alterations 2 hrs.Dry Cleaning, Extra Charge Free Pickup & Deli Suits Sponged & PresStd Polyethylene Bags 2 Dry Cle O° card Shirts Beautifully Launde, 1 44 DRAPES CLEANED | e oc 60 St.Catherine St.W.Free Mi NS moth.perspiration Pro rything We Clean\u2014An 2 1 Western Valet Service | Westmount 935-2000 933-5434 < We've expanded!
