QUEBEC (CP) — Joseph
Bouchard first flirted, with
creation in 1922 when a fly
landed in his sugar bow! and
inspired him to make a sealed
container that would dis-
pense one teaspoon of sugar
at a time.

The container didn't sell.
Nor did any of the more than
30 inventions Bouchard, 79,
has produced.

His unflagging spirit has
spurred him on with no en-
couragement from his family,
or from the federal govern-
ment which he says stymies
inventors with the high cost
— at least $2,000 — of
registering patents.

But this holiday season has
sparked some hope for Bou-
chard who has piqued the
curiosity of a Hong Kong

“I always knew that if I
continued, one day it would
be my turn,” the bald, bes-
pectacled Bouchard said in
his modest apartment. “The
minute I sell something, it'll
be OK.”

He is not dreaming of
millions. About $200 a week
in royalties would get him a
bigger apartment for his in-
ventions. It would also help
vindicate him to his wife, who
feels he has wasted their sa-

———_—___——_____———
vings on patents and proto-

types, and to his four daugh-
ters.

His proposals have been
varied, such as a concept for
steel safety bars in cars —
years before the advent of
seat belts.

There was also a notion of
laying carpets in square
pieces so that worn areas
could be replaced easily and
cheaply, a concept since mar-
keted successfully.

Then there was the coin-
less parking meter — motor-
ists would enter their licence
numbers and be billed for the
time parked.

MONTREAL (CP) — Quebee has become the firse®

province to ban smoking in public places, but the measure is ©
eo mild that even a pro-smoking lobby group sounds —
satisfied.

“This is not an attack on smokers,” cautions Enviton-
ment Minister Clifford Lincoln, a non-smoker. “They have .
their rights.” ;

_ The new law takes effect Jan. 1 but it does not apply to
restaurants, stores and private-sector workplaces. Lincoln
says it's primarily designed to “sensitize the public about the
fights of ‘non-smokers” in the province with the most”

Lincoln told reporters fines likely-won't be levied until
this spring, after people get used to the ban. Few Quebecers
noticed when the legislature unanimously passed the bill last
June.

The law covers:

e All hospitals, health ‘ail welfare centres, doctors’
waiting rooms, laboratories and public rooms and elevators
in provincial government buildings, schools and colleges.

e Arenas, ch » COURS! concert halls, ri
and day-care centres.

e City buses, subway cars and ambulances.

RESERVES SEATS

At least half-the seats on trains and ferries must be
reserved for non-smokers, and 70 per cent on inter-¢ity
buses making trips of less than 300 kilometres. In January
1989, a complete ban on smoking will apply on such buses.

The statute empowers Quebec municipalities to adopt
their own bans on smoking in public places. Such bylaws
have been passed by several je cities,
including Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

Lincoln said Quebec will name inspectors to hand out
warning tickets and fines to smokers.

“If there's a lack of goodwill, there will be fines. There
will be a few exemplary sanctions from time to time to show
people the law is there (but) we don't want it to carry a
stigma of coercion.”

Lincoln acknowledged it will be “almost impossible to
enforce it totally.”

Most provinces have authorized municipalities to clamp
down on smoking in some public and workplaces, and
Ontario may impose its own restrictions following legislative
hearings on a private member's bill.

Michel Bedard, president of° the Montreal-based
Smokers’: Freedom Society,’ termed the Quebec law
reasonable.

FINANCES GROUP

Bedard’s group, founded in September with $100,000
from Canada’s four big cigarette makers and tobacco
growers, unions and wholesalers, claims 5,000 members.

The group will see how far municipalities use their new
powers to ban smoking, Bedard said.

“If everyone is reasonable, then fine.
then we'll have to be very careful and.

Bedars said his group may go to apple od ol
