Party referendum hits opposition QUEBEC (CP) — More Parti Quebecois activists, led by caucus member Louise Harel, came out Tuesday r against the PQ 's party and will sit as an in- dependent after being cas- tigated by fellow caucus members for this radical stand on plans for an internal party referendum on the issue of sovereignty-association. Harel, member of the Que- bec national assembly for Montreal-Maisonneuve _rid- ing and former party vice- president, called the refer- endum idea “hateful.” The is to be Bisaillon could not be reached for comment. The decision to hold the referendum was made Sun- day as a concession to Pre- mier Rene Levesque who threatened to resign as party president and possibly as premier over adoption of two i at the PQ con- held in late January and early February.

New Democrat Enie Hall, MLA for Surrey, said ICBC is “out of control.” The morale is terrible and its relations with the automotive industry and the public are at an all-time low, he said in an interview. Hall said the corporation thinks of little but dollars and cents and is run with the “bottom line madness of ac- tuaries.” But it's greatest failure is the lack of traffic accident prevention. At least 682 people died on B.C. roads in the first nine months of this year. “Here's a corporation that ICBC has all the facts and all the figures and has done nothing Positive to really produce an effective safety program,” Hall said. “Instead it is just collecting statistics and doesn’t do anything with thm.” Hall said ICBC top brass can’t decide whether it's run- ning the corporation as a pri- vate company or a public agency with a social purpose. A ire Minister“ Jim API releases year-end survey By AL COLLETTI NEW YORK (CP) — Econ- omists of the American Pa- per Institute found little to glow about in the pulp, paper and paperboard industry, faced with a deepening re- cession in the U.S. The API released its year- end survey on Tuesday show- ing that the industry in the U.S. fared well through most of 1981, but signs of weak- ness began appearing in Oc- tober and are continuing. “I don’t think anybody ex- pected the year to end in a deep recession, one that doesn’t seem to be able to find bottom and one in which we find it difficult to know how we will recover,” said Norma Pace, API's senior vice-president and econo- mist. The depression in the housing industry hurt the larger paper companies which have significant cap- acity in the lumber and wood products industry, the API reported. The industry now is ex- periencing cash-flow prob- lems, Pace said. In 1981, the major strength was in newsprint and coated paper, said the industry's national trade organization. U.S. newsprint production, at an estimated 4.68 million tonnes, was 11 per cent higher than in 1980 and 28 per cent above the average 1979 rate. REFLECTS STARTUPS This gain reflected the in- stallation and startup of six paper machines in the 1979- 81 period with a total an- nounced capacity of 967,500 annual tonnes. Newsprint consumption by publishers held at a steady rate of about 10 million tonnes. The U.S. imports about 65 per cent of its newsprint from Canadian mills. : “While there was 2 sub- stantial buildup of inven- tories by newspaper publish- ers largely in anticipation of labor negotiations in Cana- dian newsprint mills, the buildup seems manageable,” the API said. Sustained demand from both magazine publishers and commercial printers maintained the high demand for coated papers. James Hutchison, vice- president of API's paper div- ision, said in an interview newsprint consumption has been relatively flat since 1979, with increases in cap- acity coming mainly in the US. i He esti d publisher in- Hewitt, the minister respon- sible for ICBC, said Hall was “full of wind” and was just playing politics. “I hope it's: run by actu-| aries because that’s the key to the whole game — being a good actuary,” Hewitt said.

During the unveiling Little Ben struck 12 times at 12:20 p.m. The restored replica, which required a rebult clockwork and base, was un- veiled near its origianl site outside Victoria rail station.

Big Ben, towering 55 me- tres above the sidewalk, was inaugurated in 1858. its name refers to the huge bell that tolls.the hours but over the years has come tobe applied to the entire clock tower. It’s Achilles’ heel ByE ERIC BEAUCHESNE OTTAWA (CP) — Lack of understanding among people of different regions is the “Achilles heel of Confeder- ation,” Gov. Gen. Ed Schrey- er said Tuesday. In, his first news confer- ence as governor general, Schreyer said he is saddened by the Quebec government's refusal to sign the accord to patriate the constitution. ' “Certainly I would be fool- ing you and fooling myself and everyone if I pretended I was totally happy with the circumstance that one of our the accord. The prospect is a sad one, an unfortunate one.” But he added he is optimis- tic Quebec will join the rest of the country in supporting the patriated constitution, Schreyer broke tradition in meeting the media to an- nounce the setting up of the first Governor General's Can- adian Study Conference, Purpose of the conferen- ces, the first of which will be in the spring of 1983, is to bring “together the country's future leaders from industry, labor and governments,” CASTLEGAR NEWS, DECEMBER 16, 1981 BS involve selected persons be- tween ages 25 and 40 from various regions.

They will be divided into 18 study groups, at least one of which will visit each province and territory. Site for conference sessions has not been set. Those attending will be selected by government, bus- iness, and labor groups.

Donald Jack, author of the Bandy Papers, the series of award-winning comic nov- els that stand as peaks on the landscape of Canadian humor. What prompted. a _ Writer, now 56, to abandon his assured audience, im- patient for the next Bandy book, and devote three years to a massive work of non-fiction? “Suddenly I had this tremendous idea — there: was this virgin tervitory,” Jack said in an interview from his Lindsay, Ont., home. “No one had ever writ- ten a comprehensive his- tory of the of almost forgotten, such as Abraham Gesner who dis- covered kerosene — and helped provide lighting for North America — are the foundation of the volume. Using the novelist’s technique, Jack makes lav- ish use of quotations by and about his cast of hun- dreds. And he doesn’t hes- itate to describe their fol- bles. William Osler, born just north of Toronto in 1849, referred to as “the great- est physician of our time,” was expelled from his first school’ .and wound up branded a criminal while at Trinity College School, all because of his pranks. “Pupils turn outlaw — they fumigate the matron with sulphur” headlined the Toronto Globe. For that caper, Osler, who was later knighted and honored by medical societies in many parts of the world, spent several days in jail. STAYED A STUDENT Scattered through the Canadians to medicine.” WRITES WITH WIT So with Jack's acknow- ledged style and wit, Rog- ues traces the healing arts " —and most important, the healers — in this country. It begins with the Indian shamans, describing the horrendous initiation cer- emonies, and progresses through the 17th-century barber-surgeons and quacks, the pioneer years of usually fatal surgery, the 19th century with its slow acceptance of. de- veloping techniques and the 20th-century discov- eries such as insulin, up to the present.

Turned ‘out he was bene- ficiary of a will that paid him 500 Ibs. annually until he completed: his medical studies. Meanwhile, he en- joyed life to the hilt — and lived with a rich lady on the side. Then there was the business of supplying cad- avers for the McGill medi- cal school in the 1880s by snatching bodies from Cote des Neiges cemetery on- Mount Royal. The snat- chers — usually poor French-Canadian students — would heave the body on toa toboggan, jump aboard with it and go whizzing down the mountain, hoping “that it did not overturn at the bottom and deposit the cargo at the feet of some lady, gentleman, or gen- darme.” Payment for. a reasona- bly fresh specimen was $50. Rebels include physici- ans who took part in the 1887 Upper Canada Rebel- lon and those who rebelled against accepted medical or social custom. One of the latter Henry Morgentaler, of Montreal, went to jail in the 1970s for openly de: “fying “an abortion law he considered to be cruel and inhumane.” S3YEARS O% PROJECT Jack, why emigrated to ography. of more than 90 entries. Then he buckled down to writing, working 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for two years. = ¢ The only break, he said, was when he took off three weeks in ‘February, 1980, to write two scripts for the National Film Board. Jack's background for filling “this gap in the country’s literature” in- cluded his upbringing — his father was a doctor in England, his mother a’ - nurse (originally from Charlottetown) — and re- search he did for a number of television scripts with medical themes.
