The Westmount examiner, 23 janvier 1975, jeudi 23 janvier 1975

[" Tenight\u2019s- \u201cOfficial\u201d opening of the: dental health centre has been postponed due to un- controilable circumstances, The Examiner was told at press time today.The centre stil! will be open for regular classes, however.SSRI Stanton street.No leads in murder on Irvine Homicide investigators still have no suspects in their investigation of the Jan.10 murder of F.Barry Bunch, 137 Irvine avenue.They still feel the murder was not premeditated, simply the result of a break-in of the downstairs flat while he was inside.A nearby resident has told The Examiner she saw telephone crews working on lines leading into the building shortly after the murder took place.An Examiner reporter last week found that wires had been disrupted in a telephone relay box across the laneway from the scene of the .crime.Investigators feel Mr.Bunch probably was shot before his throat was cut with a bread knife.They also indicated late last week that sources had told them Mr.Bunch generally carried $40 cash in his pockets; these had been turned inside out when -police found him, so it was presumed about $40 had been taken off him.The house itself also had been searched.\u201cWatkins, did

the city to run the morning program, in oral check-ups.RNR 14-minute council meeting City council held a 14- minute mid-month session last evening followed by 55 minutes of _ hard questioning from among 19 citizens who turned out for the second meeting of 1975.Only four council ! members were on hand, Pro-Mayor Leeds M.Nelson and Alds.William Wood, Donald MacCallum and James L.Thom forming a bare quorum.Ald.Nelson reported that Mayor Paut-Ouimet was in hospital undergoing tests, but that he \u2018\u2018probably was conducting more business - in his hospital room than he should.\u2018 3 attempts by burglars Three unsuccessful break-in - aftempts were reported to police during the past week.In each case, doors had :been tampered with but entry had not been gained.Between 11 am last Wednesday and 10 pm next day a rear door at 487 Mt.Pleasant avenue was damaged; an attempt was made on the basement door to- 486 Argyle avenue between 4 pm last Thursday and 3 pm Friday; and someone fooled with the front _ door to 478 Cote St.Antoine road some time, between 4:30 pm Friday and 10 am Monday.\u2019 $1,000 haul More than $1,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from an apartment at 3

priest-in-charge.of vacant parishes, said there was no intention to ask the purchaser to withdraw\" its accepted offer of $400,000 for the property.Canon Hawes told The Examiner that the decision had been taken that the congregation of St.Stephen's would cease to exist from May 12.The parish corporation had undertaken to the bishop to continue maintaining the buildings for a limited time after that date but only if there were some unforeseen delay in transferring the property to the new owners.The buyers, T.Pringle & Son Ltd., consulting engineers of 245 Victoria avenue, had been reported as willing to withdraw if requested to do s6 by the Anglican authorities.Otherwise, according to the president of Pringle, Robert Layton, it is intended to replace the sep- Continued on page two

outside, holdin placards urging that the build: ings be retained for community uses.A press conference also was held in the basement of the adjoining \u2018parish hall to explain that it was feared that the Pringle development could threaten adjacent homes on Dor- chester west to Clarke with similar replacement.The group revealed a proposal it was making to the Anglican authorities, requesting 90 days in.which to make a feasibility study of alternative use for the existing buildings.They also revealed that they would give preference to acceptance of an alternative offer by the Serbian

offered $150,000 to the Anglicans, which had been refused as unrealistically low, and a new offer was being prepared, according to an agent of the Serbian church present at the press conference.Resolution of council Last night, in a resolution passed by council, moved by Ald.Donald MacCallum and seconded by Ald.James Thom, its was stated that council had taken cognizance of representations from citizens interested in preservation of the existing structures.The general committee of council also, it was stated, \u2018is sympathetic to the preservation of cultural properties and has accordingly consulted the architectural and planning commission of the city with respect to the said St.Stephen\u2019s Church buildings.\u201d The commission, the resolution said, had reported that, \u2018\u2018in their opinion, the .buildings are not immovable .properties of the nature specified in the Cultural Property Act (1972 Statutes of Quebec\u2014Chapter 19).\u201d The decision therefore was: \u201cThat this council take no steps pursuant to its authority under Bill 91 to prohibit the demolition of the said St.Stephen's Church buildings.\u201d Interview with canon Meanwhile, interviewed Tuesday, Canon Hawes reaffirmed that the church authorities were anxious to sell the property, which \u201cno longer serves a useful purpose as a church.\u201d \u201cWe are not keen to back out.\u201d He explained that it was the Corporation of St.Stephen's, as the result of a vestry meeting and represented by him as rector and the wardens, which asked Westmount Realties to seek a buyer, after a.feasibility study had been made by the realtors.The Bishop of Montreal, he said, had accepted the general principles thus adopted a year and a half ago.Now a buyer had been found and an agreement had been signed and accepted.The proceeds, it long since had been agreed, are to be invested in a clearly earmarked fund, the interest to be directed toward meeting the needs of senior citizens.The Serbian church's offer 1975, Why a / [1 CH Write: Tel:- REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT?o Hedge against inflation e Income tax- deferment (Interest free) e Attractive cash flow -o Low

Blanchard and Mrs.Susan Rice, two leaders of the \u2018Friends\u2019 group.would be insufficient for the end.The bid by the Union United Church, off lower Atwater avenue, had been turned down for the same reason, he said.And Canon Hawes characterized the proposal of the citizens\u2019 group as coming too late to warrant reversal or delay of the accepted sale offer, specially as it contained nothing tangible to warrant endangering establishment of the St.Stephen's Fund, which would be \u2018\u2018concerned with people, particularly the aged.\u201d \u201cThere is nothing I would like more than to see St.Stephen\u2019s saved,\u201d he said, \u2018but not if the work of the church is to be set back.\u201d Council-citizen debate Most of the 55-minute public discussion following last night's short (14-minute) city council meeting was taken up with discussion of -council\u2019s decision against intervention.Mrs.JoAnn Issenman said she .was \u201cfloored\u201d by the resolution and asked what constituted a historical building under the act.She wanted to know what the architectural and planning \u2018commission had reported.And wepe the people of the neighborhood consuited.Acting Mayor Leeds Nelson replied that the act was \u2018very vague\u201d and left such decisions as \u201ccultfral judgments.\u2019 He declined to relate the report of the commission, which he said was an advisory body to council.And the people were consulted, citing a petition presented to council by them.Prof.Peter Gutkind protested the absence of any debate on the decision.Ald.James Thom explained that criteria had to be evolved, judgments made on the \u2018basis of advice given, and consideration given to the fact that \u201ca willing seller had found a willing buyer,\u201d In such circumstances, \u2018\u2018we did not feel we could step in.\u201d Prof.Gutkind later thanked Ald.Thom for his explanation and pressed no further.Derek Ramsay, a member of the Westmount Municipal Association advisory council and an active member of St.Matthias\u2019 Anglican Church, declared: \u201cI object to the Anglican Church being told what to do,\u201d and asserted that the actions taken regarding St.Prop.Martin Stamp Martin's Swiss Repair Shop \u2018 Stephen\u2019s were thoroughly right and proper.Architect Joseph Baker felt it was not a question of property rights, but an architectural, historical and cultural matter.He acknowledged St.Stephen's was run down but consideration should be given to other uses.He, too, wanted to know the criteria used by the architectural and planning commission questioned council's decision, with the powers now given under Bill 91, that it had no grounds to interfere.The very purpose of the bill, he claimed, was to give time for reconsideration.- Open house set by Engineer unit The 3rd Field Engineer Regiment, a militia unit of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve, is to hold an \u2018\u2018open house\u201d in their\u2014 local armory Tuesday, at 8 pm.Visitors will see several live displays of sappers at work, depicting the many skills the Engineers have to offer.There also will be a visual slide presentation on the advantages of being involved with militia activities.An invitation is extended to all young men and women 17 to 35 to be guests.For those under 17 years of age, a cadet exhibition also will be given.The 3rd Field Engineer Regiment is \u2018located on hillside lane just south of St.Catherine street west, beside Westmount High School.Four held for attempt at burglary Four men in their 20s\u2014one reportedly with a crowbar in his hand\u2014were arrested in a laneway shortly after midnight Friday and charged with attempted break-and-entry to 4269 St.Catherine street west.The quartet was turned over to the MUC Police night patrol and faced a judge in Montreal Court of Sessions on Saturday.Local Westmount officers have not yet learned the result of the court proceedings.313

indeed, deemed by some necessary to bar wholesale redevelopment, to save what is worthwhile in our varied and pleasing urban environment.If the action on St.Stephen's does not succeed\u2014and we expect it may not\u2014the battle well may have proved valuable in winning the ultimate campaign for control of and balance in inevitable change.+ + + NOW, however, the time has come to end this growing local dispute\u2014 unfortunately, escalating into an acrimonious confrontation with the Anglican Church at both parish and diocesan level.It should not have come to this.The time has come to back off from demonstrations, bitter words, accusations, imputing of surmised motives.In ordinary intra-community circumstances, such behavior is unseemly.There are some who claim that only militancy is effective in gaining ends; we disagree, even if militant groups seem to be fashionable.Sober dialogue and charitable understanding of the other point of view generally is what prevails.And surely in no instance more than with the church.+ + + a.THE Anglican Church or.for that matter, any religious denomination.does not require lecturing in concern for people.individually or in community.If anything, the church sometimes overreaches in its involvement in social issues, to the alienation of some who would wish it would confine itself to a narrower role in the saving of souls.And it is quite pointless here to argue whether people desert the church, or the church turns away, or turns off, adherents.The fact remains in the case of St.Stephen's that a decade or more ago this already was a failing parish and a fulltime pastorate subsequently was withdrawn\u2014a sad but not uncommon event these days.It remains a bishop's duty to send available clergy to charges with greatest need and use for them.BECAUSE a church organization is dif- ferent\u2014not a commercial, business or industrial undertaking\u2014does not mean that individuals or groups, specially when in the main outside its structure, have licence to intercede in its legitimate affairs.At the same time, the officers of a church have a responsibility, to their own members and authorities, to conduct these affairs in a businesslike fashion.The Corporation of St.Stephen's has accepted an offer of $400,000 for the church property, with the assent of the bishop on the advice of his diocesan officials\u2014 $400,000 which it is intended to invest, the proceeds to go into a special fund primarily for the needs of senior citizens.\u2018 That is a determination with which outside groups may quarrel only by impugning the motives and wisdom of the church authorities.+ + + AGAINST that local outside groups must.weigh their own objectives\u2014which is to see the transformation of the church building .in whole or part, to other uses, and to retain the familiar red-brick structure in the community\u2019s midst\u2014to say nothing of blocking construction of something else in its place.Thus far, the church authorities have béen unconvinced by these late-hour appeals.They likewise have been unswerved by a $150,000 offer from the Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church\u2014an offer, by the way which would slash seriously the intended program for senior citizens.The \u2018\u2018Friends of St\u201dStephen\u2019s\u201d speak of an offer of their own.It appears to be accompanied by no deposit, the \u2018\u201cFriends\u201d are still but names with no material resources beyond undeniable enthusiasm.imagination and determination, and the offer is in fact not an offer but a request for 90 days in which to make a feasibility study.We have it that the church authorities had their own feasibility study made 18 months ago.upon which the decision to sell was made.+ + + WE must come down on the side of the Corporation of St.Stephen's, the Anglican Diocese of Montreal.and the bishop who.in the legal and hierarchal structure of the church, ultimately must exercise his judgment and authority in the use and disposition of church property.no, ét otes ;

The deliberate slow-down now is hard to condone.We do not know how or by whom these decent men are driven to these tactics.We do know that\u2019 postal workers have government assurance\u2014 which surely must be backed by the people of Canada\u2014that none will lose their jobs by automation, a step vital to handling the steadily increasing volume of mail with any degree of efficiency.Indeed, automation must ultimately make the postman\u2019s work easier and more satisfying.We are told the slowdown is \u201cto pressure the government.\u201d From where we sit, the tactic will have no effect on the government ; rather.every piece of mail delayed serves only to anger a sender and a receiver and erode public sympathy for the postman's cause\u2014whatever that may be.We suspect that \u2018\u2018cause\u201d\u2019 is fear of erosion of power by union leaders, and that postman and public are but the pawns.Government must address itself to abuse of power.+ + + WE think Ottawa is right, in the current crisis over the Olympic Games, not to come forward to bail out Montreal's - mayor.It is appropriate that, if any authority must do so, it be the provincial government\u2014so fond of asserting its sovereignty in municipal affairs.It is under that authority that Mr.Jean Drapeau has been permitted, secretively and imperiously, to mount the Games according to his personal design.There must be a sense of some relief in suburban municipal councils over Quebec's seeming underwriting of excess cost\u2014even if, as all must realize, we shall be paying the bills through our provincial taxes.Even so, a more salutary step would have been to proclaim that the full overage of Mr.Drapeau'\u2019s excesses must be borne by the ratepayers of the City of Montreal, as penalty for permitting themselves the headstrong autocracy of this mayor.Maybe Montrealers could have been taught, via their pocketbooks, the importance of insisting upon democratic local government.+ + + MR.Joseph Baker.local architect and McGill teacher, came up as a good journalist in The Star weekend before last.and as a good TV performer with Local Resident and McGill Teacher Laurier Lapierre last Friday night.Joe, depioring much redevelopment, did however approve of Place Ville Marie because \u2018\u2018it filled an ugly hole in Dor- chester boulevard.\u201d He probably wasn\u2019t around to deplore and to demonstrate when the CNR demolished innumerable old buildings, many of them charming, on narrow.old Dorchester street and tributaries, and dug that enormous hole.There weren't many Joe Bakers and Mike Fishes around in those days.+ + + TRIED obeying those new 45-mph speed- limit signs on the Decarie Expressway?You are likely to be rammed from behind by a Volkswagen or a heavy transport truck.Typically.the Provincial Police really don't givesa hoot about -speeders, either there or elsewhere on Quebec highways.Why did they bother with the expense and trouble of the new signs?.+ + + LAST Friday someone we know completed the private sale of a car.He and pur- + Han.Kevin Drummond says.noming chaser went to the license bureau on Cavendish boulevard to make the transfer of registration.Guest what?The bureau was temporarily out of 1975 plates.The buyer would have to make do with temporary 1974 markers\u2014at the usual late-season charge of half-fees for 1974, without a suggestion or hope of refund.No wonder people hate their own governments.+ + + WE've learned of a family, with four of its members income-taxpayers, which received all four federal returns forms by Christmas Eve\u2019s mail.This slight dampener on the season\u2019s spirit was turned around, the envelopes suitably .marked as gifts from the likes of \u201cElizabeth R,\u201d \u201cPierre T.\u201d etc., and placed on the tree to add to next morning's bounty.+ + + SOME strikes were settled over the past week.It looked to us more like extended Christmas holidays were declared over.Maybe the Christmas bills were coming in to be paid, ar a lot of wives were simply fed up with having their men underfoot.Comments are offered on 'Education pendulum Sir: In Saturday\u2019s issue of The Montreal Star, there appeared an editorial entitled Education Pendulum, which, I am sure, most of your readers read and on which I would like to make a comment or two since most of your readers are interested in school and educational activities.The editorial\u2019s closing words of advice were for us to take a balanced view or perspective, and this, I feel was good advice because both old and new practices in education are a mixture of good and bad.I am sure that it is not widely known that the school which I have the honor to serve is trying to maintain this balanced perspective and 1 would like to give a few details.: Thank goodness that the degradation of a child by inflicting physical violence on him is now \u201cpassé.\u201d A loving spank on the Continued on page five \u201c+ _onestall voice \u2019 byJanus.\u201cA few.more subtle overt overtones \u2018emanating from the bureaucrats.in \u201cThis time the convoluted thinking, with.what may well \u2018be\u2019 careful : forethought, comes from the red \u201ctape artists who are responsible.- the education.of our- ren.~The -sometime-experts,.who ~~ perform teaching-planning han -

Tuesday evening at Westmount'\u2019s artifical ice rink, as one hockey player and one spectator were hurt dyring the course of the city\u2019s recreational program.The fact of two in one evening should not alarm citizens, however, since those were only the second and third injuries to oceur at the rink this month, together with a complaint last Thursday by a 15-year-old of pain in his side (he was taken \u201cto hospital by police to check for possible rib fracture).There were only three injuries during the month of December.Recreational skating is closely- supervised and only one injury has been reported this season\u2014 when a youngster fell and\" cut himself with his own gkate.\u201cWe don\u2019t allow the type of tom-foolery which generally leads to injuries,\u201d a recreation department spokesman said.Athletic injuries will occur, however, and citizens should -not be suprised that two more such injuries occurred in Westmount last week.A 17-year-old basketball player at the Unity Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club was\" elbowed in the mouth last Wednesday and treated for a cut lip.Next day a.16-year-old hockey player received a bad cut above his ight eye at
