announced at the city council meeting Monday evening.The mayor had stated at the council meeting Jan.17 that he thought it unlikely the report would ever surface now that the government has changed and the new one has promised a com- lete study of municipal nancing and p taxation.The mayor said he did not know exactly when the report would be released but he has been assured that it will be in the near future.Mutual aid radio link in works Work is progressing on the establishment of a communications system that will link the fire brigades of six suburban municipalities, including Westmount, that are members of the mutual aid fire fighting pact, Mayor Donald MacCallum told city council Monday evening.The six councils have already authorized the hiring of consultants to design such a system, and, Mayor MacCallum reported, ey already have \u201cfine specifications drawn up.\u201d The system being envisaged would provide one overall network and a separate system for each municipality.All the municipalities would be able to communicate with all the others.Unfortunately, the mayor noted, the plan to help the present problem of communications is \u2018\u2018not an inexpensive solution.\u201d\u2019 Costs, he said, would probably be divided on a pro rata basis depending on population and, to some extent, valuations.Mayor MacCallum said it would soon be up to each council to decide whether they should proceed with the plan.\u201cIf we can do it, it will be a very desirable thing,\u201d he said. 2 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 10, 1977 By-law 831

meetings with two ministers Mayor Donald MacCallum has met with two new Quebec ministers recently, city council was told Monday evening.Mayor MacCallum joined most other suburban mayors in meeting justice minister Marc-André Bédard at a meeting Jan.27 of the advisory committee of the MUC Security Council and last Friday he met Lucien Lessard, the new minister of transport, public works and supply, at a meeting of the transportation commission committee of the Conference of Suburban Mayors.The mayor reported the units created each satisfied the normal building requirements of that zone.These minimum unit sizes range from 550 to 700 square feet, depending on the zone, but Ald.Nixon indicated that there are no houses in these other zones that are large eno to allow them to legally split into more than three dwelling units under the proposed conditions.In calling for a public meeting on the proposals, Ald.Nixon is following the precedent set in 1975 zoning amendments when public hearings were held to give citizens a chance to comment on the plans or make new suggestions.In commenting on the outlined conversion tions after the meeting, Mayor Donald MacCallum indicated he thought the plan was a fair one.\u201cWe don't want to make it easy to convert,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we do want to make it possible.\u201d PHOTOCOPY PRINTING DUPLICATING MICROFILM

director and the policemen\u2019s brotherhood, and that these roles be, the mayor reported, \u201cdeveloped in a meaningful manner.\u201d Mayor MacCallum said the mayors are happy that the Security Council and Mr.I\u2019Ecuyer have worked to make some order out of police integration and that the mayors believe \u2018\u2018we were heard and heard satisfactorily.\u201d His meeting with Transport Minister Lessard, Mayor MacCallum reported, touched on many subjects and he said the \u201cintimate meeting\u2019\u2019 allowed the committee and the minister to hear ideas.Mayor MacCallum also announced, while reporting on activities \u2018of the Conference of Suburban Mayors, that the group's annual meeting would probably be held March 31 and that the afternoon session would probably

to the problem which led to last week's Montreal Urban Community police slowdown.One of the stumbling blocks to integration of the various police forces on the island has been.from the outset, the wide variety of pension schemes in force in the different municipalities from which the original personnel were wrenched by Québec decree.We said at the start of forced fusion that it would be no simple task making, for example, the fully-funded, actuarially- sound plan of the City of Westmount, which covered our policemen, tie in with that of Montreal's constabulary which bore many characteristics of the Drapeau style of pie-in-the-sky financing.Montreal's officers got a plan which may have appeared to have had some fancier benefits, but these were exposed to the fortunes of the big city's fiscal stability\u2014nmow even less sound than then.Brushed off as \u201conly a detail\u201d in the grand design for the bigger-is-better MUC police force, the pension issue now is one of the biggest bones of contention for the men in blue with their political masters.Five years later, no one seems any closer to a solution even if Montreal North's Mayor Yves Ryan appears to have exuded more confidence in the eyes of the men than anyone else.One can hardly blame, in human terms, MUC Security Council Chairman Paul- Emile I'Ecuyer seeking a cure for this headache in the Barbados sun, even if many must believe he should be fired from the lucrative job for doing so in face of a serious threat to the island's public security.Clearly, if any reform is going to be made in the crazy MUC setup, the control of police belongs in the hands of an elected people's representative of the quality of Mayor Ryan, and not of an appointee of the provincial government.Stately homes on the skids NO direct link exists between the depressed state of local real estate\u2014tied as much to general economic conditions as to the election of a separatism-bent provincial govern- ment\u2014and the move made by West- mount city council Monday night toward permitting conversion of large local houses into multiple dwellings.Indeed, the contemplated by-law changes, - for which notice of motion now has been given, has been mooted over a very long while and was mentioned among proposals in 1975's general up-dating of the city\u2019s zoning law, though not acted upon then.There will be mixed emotions over the idea of Westmount\u2019's stately mansions, which from its earliest beginnings have given this municipality its character and reputation, becoming something less.But it is an inexorable fate for the big house which is within reach of fewer and fewer individuals, given soak-the- rich taxation philosophies of other governments and almost confiscatory effects of urban community and local property taxes.Add to this other factors\u2014the dwindling fashion for large families, the cost and scarcity of the necessary servants for the maintenance and operation of large homes, even the desire for more mobility and the ease of travel unknown in an earlier era when folks were more inclined to stay put\u2014and what the city is soon to unfold to the citizens for their approval makes good sense, however sad.Utmost care is going to have to be exercised in the municipal approval of conversions, if Westmoynt is not to become a mish-mash of assorted kinds of dwellings.On the other hand, a good deal of imagination can be given scope in turning white elephants into more desirable abodes, to the benefit of owners and occupants alike.The whole idea, nonetheless, is fraught with great sociological impact.Teachers end sorry folly \u201cIMAGINE being able to hold a dance in the school gym.School just won't be the same.\u201d That joyous yet pathetic quote comes from our student columnists at West- mount High School, writing last week of the 19-month ban by their teachers on the supervision of extra-curricular activities\u2014now lifted by the signing, at last, of a new labor contract.Of all the actions taken by the organized teachers in their long-running fight with the government, least forgivable has been their withdrawal from such duties.Teaching academic subjects is their prime purpose, for sure.But it is in the more relaxed atmosphere of providing guidance, supervision, resources and inspiration for all the many other components of school life outside the classroom that a good teacher shines in the eyes of his students, making the years of school memorable.We suspect, too, that many of the ® soa cm.ne Le Hon.C.M.Drury SAYS 00.Prospects for 1977 The new year of 1977 opened in an uncertain international environment.tations for the rate of recovery in the industrial world as a whole have been revised downwards since the middle of 1976.The retarded growth will be reflected in a slower growth in international trade with an expected rise in volume between one-half and two-thirds of that which occurred in 1976.This also suggests that Canadian exports will be adversely affected with a rise in volume terms, possibly by about two-thirds of the 12 percent increase achieved during 1976.This, in turn, will reduce the external stimulus to the Canadian economy and may be translated into continued high levels of unused industrial capacity and high unemployment.It is expected that capital investment will be relatively weak during 1977.The increase in real levels of private consumption will also probably be less vigorous than the increase achieved in recent years.Inflationary pressures throughout the industrial world may not be substantially reduced in 1977.There are still several industrial countries, such as the United Kingdom, Italy and France, where domestic inflation continues to be a major problem.Canadian inflation rates, though likely to be lower than the average for industrial countries, may continue to exceed those in the United States.The underlying wage pressures in the Canadian economy continued to be substantial.Without the productivity gains associated with the rapid increase in output, the cost pressures en industrial prices will be considerable.Thus, it may necessary to restore the corporate profit position in order to generate adequate funds for future investment.Accordingly, inflation in Canada in 1977 may only be moderately below 1976 levels.However, every effort will be made to prevent a refuelling of inflation.Long term challenge The longer term challenge for Canada is to be found on two levels\u2014one internationally and the other, domestically.Internationally, Canada is among the rich and privileged nations.As such, we must continue to-play a leading role in obtaining a more balanced distribution of the world's wealth among the world\u2019s les.To achieve this, we must maintain our full involvement in international agencies, promoting a wider satisfactions for the dedicated teacher come from the same kind of undertakings with their young people.We said from the beginning of withdrawal of teachers from extra-curricular activities that this form of action would in no way shorten their negotiations or add in any way to their so-called gains.We thought it despicable that supposedly decent adults who called themselves professionals could take out their frustrations on young students in their formative years, taking away from their school days things which were inalienably theirs.The devolving of their professional associations into trade unions had to do with this.And while the ham-handed inactions of school boards and government perhaps are most to blame for such deterioration of high standards of behavior, comportment and example of teachers, we say that the individual teachers cannot shuck blame for accepting their own radicalization.May they now show by performance their willingness to make amends, and to guard against repeating the same kind of follies in the future.measure of international trade, international transfers of

longer a journalist, a pursuit that enables one to come and go as one leases.Today, René Lévesque is ier of Québec.He campai seven long years and during t Québec general elections to attain that position.And with the trappings of the office come restrictions.No premier of this province should ever be behind the wheel of a vehicle.The burden, e and demands of his office dictate this.No premier of this province should ever be alone.He must be accompanied by a bodyguard at all times.I not wish to be an alarmist.Yet, imagine, if you will, what the situation would be in Canada and Québec if Premier Lév were ever kidnap or attacked while he walked unattended.René, you wanted the job.Now you must pay the price.WESTMOUNT WANDERINGS The Silver Jubilee Commemorative Service at

avenue institution.Because it is the last Franc ne school in the district the MCSC feels it is worth saving and has requested the Island School Council seek subsidies from the Department of Education to maintain it.According to Henrietta Robadey, information officer at the MCSC, St.Leo's has a capacity of about 600 students, but present student enrolment is only 310.Ms.Robadey explained that the disadvantages of a small enrolment are both economic and pedagogical because the commission receives from the department of education a per capita grant each year for the maintenance of its schools.At a cost of $60 per year per 100 square feet to maintain the building, she said, the commission cannot afford to keep the school operating at only partial capacity.Even the present enrolment figure is slightly inflated by the special immigrant reception classes at the school, which account for 36 students in kindergarten and prekindergarten classes.Forty other immigrant children have been integrated directly into higher grades on a trial basis year She said this artificial inflation will not necessarily continue in pro ively more affluent society without clear views as to Enrolment falling: Grants sought to the future because more of these reception classes are ing in schools in other areas the city, allowing many of the immigrant children who are, at present, bussed a considerable distance to St.Leo's, to attend classes nearer their homes.Fully eccupied St.Leo's principal Marguerite Lacombe says she doesn\u2019t know why the commission should be having financial difficulties maintaining the school because it is fully occupied during the day.Elementary students use 15 of the classrooms and the adult education department of the MCSC uses the remaining 12 rooms.In the evening, adult education uses 20 rooms.Ms.Robadey conceded that the adult education courses did help financially because they are subsidized by he government.The Adult cation Depart- No

By RICK KERRIGAN The color image of Archdeacon Jack Doidge appeared on the monitor above Robert Haylock's head.\u201cLet us pray for the church and for the world,\u201d intoned the rector of St.Matthias\u2019 Church.\u201cAnd for the CBC,\u201d added Haylock, \u2018\u2018Boy, we need it right now!\u201d Haylock, Montreal producer of the CBC show \u201cMeeting Place\u201d and a resident of 480 Wood avenue, was halfway through Saturday\u2019s rehearsal for the live transmission of the St.Matthias\u2019 Silver Jubilee service commemorating the accession of Queen Elizabeth to be held the following day.Everything had not been going smoothly.The St.Matthias\u2019 organist was worried about the organ tuning being affected by temperature change because the doors had been open for some time to allow the CBC crew to haul in the equipment.The technical producer informed Haylock there was a 50 percent chance the dolly camera in the aisle would not be working the next day.The microphone at the lectern displayed a worrisome reluctance to operate at first.The archdeacon threw in a two- line blessing that nobody knew about and, to make the situation somewhat more precarious, Haylock was operating on the assumption that the bishop would hold to his allotted 10 minutes for the sermon.It was an assumption that proved woefully optimistic.Producer Haylock is wearing dark coat with matching collar.With his craggy good looks and ing hair he exudes the confidence of a man who imows what he\u2019s doing and expects everyone else to know what they are doing; he works easily with the people under his direction.He was a film editor in A 42 be 2 4 % * Sy yi 42 3\u201d % A 7, 1 EE .: Éa 7 4 vi Cables strung out a church window carried sound and pictures to the large television audience.England before moving to Canada and performed the same function when he first arrived at the CBC.He eventually became a unit manager and then a producer.Maze of equipment > 9:30 Saturday morning the CBC equipment trucks and the bus housing the mobile studio were already parked outside the church and the technical crew was busy stringing cables through doors and windows.The microwave transmitters were perched high above on the steeple.Inside, one of two camera scaffoldings was half erected and crates and cables made traversing the rear of the church an exercise in broken field running.Caretaker Fred Stevens was not sure he liked this invasion of his church.He complained that all the cold air being let in was driving his boilers downstairs crazy.B lunch break the scene was sti chaotic.In the bus, Robert Haylock explained in his pleasant British accent the technical aspects of a television transmission and specifically of this mobile _production.The entire length of the bus is crammed with elec- .tronic machinery studded with a dazzling array of switches and buttons and two people can barely squeeze by each other in the aisle remaining down the side of the bus.About midway in the bus is the control panel from where all the camera switching is done.Mr.Haylock, his assistant, and the switcher sit at the control panel and coordinate the whole show by intercom while the lighting and sound men sit in partially glassed-off booths at either end of the main console.The producer can monitor all his cameras from the myriad black and white screens in front of him and is thereby able to preview any camera shot before sending it out.The only color monitors are one showing the on- air camera view and a special color preview screen beside it.Complex transmission This particular transmission, he explains, is being broadcast live to the maritime provinces (and to the rest of the country, time zone by time zone, by tape) and entails a complex trans- .mission route.The picture signal is sent from the horns atop the church to the Bell Canada microwave tower on Upper Lachine road.It would have A CHANCE TO PRACTICE: Saturday\u2019s rehearsal gave both choir members and cameramen a chance to perfect their technique for Sunday\u2019s service at which there would be no way to repair missed notes or faulty equipment.sent first to the tower atop Mount Royal but the church was out of sight of it and would have needed a tower of its own.From Upper Lachine the signal is sent back to Maison Radio-Canada in the east end of Montreal and then back along the whole microwave network to Toronto.Toronto then beams the signal up to the Anik satellite which bounces it back down to the Maritimes.Despite the technical wizardry involved, Mr.Haylock is not overly concerned with potential problems in the transmission.He understands the technical aspect enough to have confidence in his technical producer to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment.The technical producer would seem to have it easy as he only has to concern himself with predictable electronic phenomena and related problems.Producer Haylock has to deal with the unpredictable human side of the production.Not only must he coordinate his two stationary cameras, mobile dolly camera, and a hand-held portable, but also he must make sure that all the people involved in the service are at the right place at the right time.And thi task was not made easier when the bishop, who is giving the sermon, declined to be cued by mortal man.But if anything goes wrong, Mr.Haylock can\u2019t be accused of not planning ahead.Months of planning \u201cMy first meeting with the archdeacon was two months ago,\u201d he says, \u201cwhen I said to him, as 1 do in any church or synagogue, \u2018What kind of service would you like to give us?\u2019 and from then on it's a matter of cooperation.In the case of Archdeacon Doidge, I've worked with him many times before so he knows pretty well the limitations of what we can do, and the first problem I have to overcome is to get them to condense it.The average service usually runs an hour and 10 or even 15 minutes and they've got to come down to 56.And right off the bat it usually means we cut the sermon down.The second thing we agreed on was that we'd give the bishop ten minutes.\u201d The 10-minute time limit was worked out by calculating the length of the rest of the service a then allowing for small pauses for the congregation to stand up or sit down.minute and a half was allowed for this for the entire service.\u201cThe thing to see this afternoon,\u201d\u201d Mr.Haylock continues, \u2018\u2018is how near we are, partieularly because this is live.The whole thing is sealed for me.At 10:56:30 tomorrow morning I'm going to the closing tape, whic is prerecorded, irrespective of what they're doing.Hopefully, having seen them process in we\u2019ll see them process out, and then we\u2019ve got it made.This completes it, in my opinion, for the viewer.\u201d Not at rehearsal Mr.Haylock's aim is to bring the live organ music up over the closing credits, but he adds, \u201cthat depends on how accurate the bishop is.\u201d Unfortunately the bishop will not be at the rehearsal so they won't know if they will be over or under the allotted time until the moment the sermon is being broadcast.Should the bishop run short, Archdeacon Doidge will be cued to insert a prearranged prayer of the necessary length.He doesn\u2019t mention what will happen if the bishop runs long.Even before the service Haylock has a good idea of the type of shots he will use.\u201cI sat in so many meetings as to what's going to happen in the service,\u201d he explains.\u201cThere are certain preset rules\u2014that on the opening shot it's nice to see a good, long, full length picture of the church.In this case I'll probably just have a quick shot up towards the altar because no one will be there and then mix back to my other cameras that show the choir scene and then the procession.\u201d The cameras are set up in the church well before the 4:30 rehearsal time and the or party has been practicing its moves with uneven but increasing success.A few of the technical crew are catching well deserved naps in the pews.The choir is preparing and the brass players have arrived.e brilliant quartz lights have been switched on in the church and transformed it from a dark shadowy hall to a glorious assemblage of arches.The blond oak and silvery pipes of the organ at the end of the church seem to vibrate expectantly in this artificial daylight.Inside the bus the monitors are glowing with images of the church as the cameramen test each camera.mr.Haylock throws his blazer on the back of the chair and sits down in front of the on-air monitor to test his intercom with the cameramen.Seated to the left and right of him are his assistant and the switcher.The sound man runs a check on each of the brass instruments and the light man, not having much to do, leans back in his chair and admires the pictures of naked women taped to his control panel.The rehearsal starts shortly after 4:30 with the taped introduction that had been uced in Toronto.Then the ive action starts in the church and Mr.Haylock begins his almost ceaseless string of directions, alternating occasionally with his assistant.\u2018\u201cThat\u2019s nice, Charles, nice shot.\u201d \u2018Jacques, stand by cue.\u201d \u201cMusic ready to mix to three .and mix to three.\u201d The music starts somewhat hesitantly and he exhorts a \u201cGaetan, stay wide, zoom back, s\u2019il vous plait.\u201d \u201cCharles, pan around for me, please.Ready to mix to one .mix to one .go with him, Gaetan.\u201d One of the brass players hits a bad note.\u201cIt'll sound better tomorrow,\u201d Mr.Haylock says hopefully.\u201cIt\u2019s a rehearsal,\u201d says the technical producer.Edge of collapse And so the rehearsal staggers through its hour, the whole s seeming at any moment about to collapse in a state of total disarray, but it is all held together by Haylock\u2019s verbal baling wire.One of the cameras doesn\u2019t work, so he can\u2019t have the superimposed titles on the screen.The problem is with the lens and the technical producer is not sure if it can be fixed in time for tomorrow.Producer Haylock is not dissatisfied.He feels it's better for things to go wrong during the rehearsal than during the show.And, sure enough, Sunday\u2019s service runs smoothly .except that Bishop Hollis runs four minutes over his allotted time of ten minutes and the end of the service has to be cut off.Within minutes after the end of the service the monitors have all been switched off, the lights in the church doused, and Robert Haylock is standing alone at the back of the church, after having a word with the bishop.How did he feel about the bishop running over his time?\u201cIl was so mad I could hardl speak to him,\u201d he says in a ha jest, but more than anything he seems relieved that it is over.Hw.>» I Microwave horns mounted the church steeple started the television signals on their long, quick trip to the Anik satellite and

congregation's annual meeting Sunday afternoon as they heard reports that the church's program \u201cChallenge '76\"\u2019 had met with tremendous response and had produced new feelings of commitment, initiative and leadership in a congregation that a year ago was threatened with fading away.Congregation chairman Drew Webster told the meeting that as a result of the year\u2019s efforts more people are willing \u2018\u2018to tackle issues squarely and honestly as Christians.\u201d He said the main contribution to this new feeling was the effect of Challenge \u201976 in getting members to think about what Christians are meant to do.Later in the meeting members discussed the church\u2019s mission for 1977 and high on the list were desires for spiritual self- improvement and a supportive congregational family.These two desires parent at the church and will be central to its development in the coming year.Highlights of the financial report given by R.F.Cham- have become ap- be Church berlin included an ating surplus of $12,524 and an increase in donations to the mission and service fund of the church of $1,100 over the previous year.Five new members have been received and

two Sundays the congregation will be taking a \u201cChristian look at myths and facts about World Development.\u201d\u2019 The theme of the total program is \u2018\u2018Bread for the world.\u201d This seems particularly appropriate in view of the bread situation in Quebec at this time.The annual congregational meeting was held Sunday to discuss the work of the church over the past year.A special thanks was given to John and Winifred Nichols who are leaving their service in this church for a new ministry in Toronto at the beginning of June.The TNT has started a new series on \u2018Life, death,

RICHLER and IAN MALLORY Perhaps there is a little energy to be found in Westmount High's long dormant (dare we say apathetic) student body.The return of sports to school\u2019s daily routine was enthusiastically received.For the first time in what seems to be, and was, an eternity, there is life after three, the school gym bustling with activity.With the ban on extra- - curricular activities lifted, a Westmount High Scheel strong effort is being made to salvage the sports year.Bor- denball, floor hockey and volleyball teams have been set up for intramural sports.An interscholastic volleyball team is going to be selected also.Carnival fever, that February phenomenon, is slowly rising.ncluded in the carnival repertoire are such diverse and traditional activities as a tug-o\u2019-
