When the coffin was opened, the remains of ihe self-proclaimed Emperor of France lay in a perfectly pre- served state. Today, more than 140 years later, the incident takes on new meaning as the authors of a new book claim Napoleon died at the hands of a murderer who used arsenic. “Arsenic is a destroyer, but it is also a preserver of human tissue,” explains Ben Weider, co-author of The Murder of Napoleon, which is causing a controvery in France, where Napoleonic historians still maintain the leader died of stomach can- cer. ‘ “I'm convinced through nuclear and medical testing that Napoleon was poisoned,” Weider says. FELL TOGETHER The pieces of the puzzle began falling together in the mid-1950s when Weider and Swedish doctor Dr. Sten Forshufvud, both Napoleonic history buffs, read the just- published memoirs. of Louis The process performed on several of Napoleon's hairs, cut soon after his death and sent to relatives, indicated that Napoleon was poisoned slowly with varying amounts of arsenic over five and a half years. Tracking down the mur- derer “was a process of poleon's chief and i studying the character and the of the in- Forshufvud discovered that Marchand's diaries — never intended to be made public — revealed Napoleon suffered from most of the classic symptoms of arsenic poisoning. Scientific tests were ar- ranged with Hamilton Smith, a Scot scientist who bom- bards human hair with nu- clear radiation to determine the amount of toxin in the body. Massey-Ferguson lowers financing TORONTO (CP) — In an effort to boost sales, Massey- Ferguson Ltd. and participat- ing Canadian dealers are offering farmers and builders rebates of up to $5,000 or 11-per-cent interest rates on bined to hold down agri- cultural and industrial de- mand for its machinery. Richard Brown, the firm's marketing director, said the rebate and interest rate pro- gram should help overcome who shared Nap- oleon's British-imposed exile on the isolated isle of St. Helena, Weider recalls, IDENTIFY KILLER The authors identify Nap- oleon's killer as Charles- Tristan de Montholon, a French aristocrat who was later named a count and had a city square in France named after him. “Other historians accept the thesis because you can’t flout logic,” says Weider aiming a shot at the “sheer pride" of the French his- torians who have so far re- fused to accept the murder thesis. Weider says the only way justice can be done is “by correcting history and letting jf the world know of the true facts of his death, “That's what Napoleon wanted — that the true cause §f of his death be known.” Indeed, six days before his sehold improvements, store the rohigh snc ‘2 4 secure for the most of the corporation's new the sales difficulties experi- death, Napoleon told his doc- A.

Council was scheduled to receive a 15 per cent pay hike, but agreed to accept only a 10 per cent increase. Council normally adopts tha same pay increases as its city workers. This year city work- ers gained a 15 per cent wage increase. The 10 per cent increase means Mayor Audrey Moore will earn $8,561 this year — up from $7,783 in 1981. By foregoing the extra five per cent, Moore gave up $389. The city’s six aldermen will see their stipends increase from $4,576 to $5,039. They gave up a $229 increase by dropping the five-per cent. “It's not a great deal, but it does help,” explained finance committee chairman Ald. Al- bert, Calderbank. Council will ‘take the sa- ving from the five per cent rollback and put it toward a city float for the SunFest 82 parade. Elsewhere, the city will in- vestigate “instituting quar- terly property tax payments. Calderbank said.ore of the city’s largest expenses is paying for. money it borrows for the ‘first four months of the year — before the prop- erty’ taxes are collected. .

More laid ‘off at Celgar. Staff ON TAR «=, Helicopt ir SET th jelicopter crew lowers, 1,800- By B.C. Timber announced Thursday it will lay off an- other 45 employees at its Celgar sawmill effective to- * morrow. Mill: manager Al Thornton said in a prepared release that the layoffs will be temporary. However, there was no word when the employees might be called back to work. Thornton blamed the lay- offs on the continuing de- pressed lumber market and said part of the sawmill op- erations will be curtailed temporarily as well. The layoffs mean that only 200 to 250 employees are now on the job at the sawmill, compared to some 400 when ¢, the mill is in full operation. Meanwhile, last week 11 salaried positions with B.C. . Timber's Woodlands Division were terminated. Salaried . personnel from the Nakusp and Revelstoke offices were laid off, and of- ficials indicated more salar- ied layoffs may be coming later this month. Woodlands manager Dick -Roberts said he won't know how many more will be laid off until after the company re-organization is completed. Those hit by the layoffs included ‘salaried employees in the mechanical, office, marine and woods depart- ments, e poles replace je ones cere out t by d utilié le into gro ‘ound on a mud slide a month ago. By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar council Thurs- day agreed to postpone a three mill tax increase until after city staff has had a chance to examine further cost cutting measures. Finance‘ committee chair- man Ald. Albert Calderbank told a special council budget meeting that he had met with administrator Larry Cruik- shank and asked him to in- vestigate ways the city can reduce costs, Calderbank said that in order to drop the three mill inerease, the city must cut $108,000 from its $3.3 million 1982-83 budget. Council will meet again this Thursday to discuss pos- sible budget cuts and will probably make a final de- cision on the budget Friday — one day before the May 15 deadline. Council had voted April 27 to raise the mill rate by three mills this year to offset a $108,000 deficit caused by a drop in the provincial gov- ernment’s revenue sharing with if time that it received only $83,000 of the $520,000 it ex- pected to receive fromthe province, and said‘its only options were to cut service, lay off staff, or increase the mill rate. It chose to increase the mill rate. However, council decided tore-think its position follow- ing an open-line radio show Thursday morning involving Calderbank, Cruikshank and Ald. Carl Henne, who is act- ing mayor while Mayor Aud- rey Moore is in Ottawa. Henne said that every caller on that show was in favor of cutting the three mills from the budget and doing without certain ser- vices this year. He said council will ask the - Canadian Union of Public Employees — the union rep- resenting the nearly 40 city workers — to provide input on possible cutbacks. He added that a shorter work week may be one an- swer. That would mean no one would be laid off, while most of the city services could still be maintained. i that ties. Council pointed out at the ie problem with laying off employees in the city works -PUBLIC- HEARINGS © crew is that the crew is al- ready at a “minimum” of 23 employees. “We've already lost two (employees) and they've not been replaced,” he said. Henne said another prob- lem in simply cutting some capital works projects to save money is that the size of the city works crew is de- termined by the snow re- moval requirements during peak winter periods. He said the city needs a minimum number of men to remove snow, and then needs work for those men during the summer months so they won't have to be laid off — only to be re-hired again in winter. “It's a case of how much service you're willing to give and how much service you're willing to go down to,” Calderbank. “The damn budget is penny pinching as it is,” he “Now what we're saying is we're going to have added. to pare essential wor! Calderbank added that he thought council could save cutting some money by money for a new city sani- hi said = modifications to recreational facilities. Henne suggested “putting the replot on hold.” The re- plot involves redrawing prop- * erty lines for a number of lots inthe south end and pro- viding access for them. “If we could just cancel the replot then that could give us the $100,000 we're talking about,” Henne said. Henne added he is con- cerned that with the poor economy and the scheduled layoffs at Celgar and Com- inco, homeowners just won't be able to pay their property taxes come July, “We could charge anything for taxes and collect very little if they're not working.” Henne pointed out that property taxes for an aver- age $80,000 home will in- crease at least $150 this year if the three mill increase is left in the budget. Without the three mill hike, taxes will still increase by about $125 he said. By cutting the three mill hike a homeowner with an ae 000 house will save about eat Henne warned, “The dump facility, or poge AS Cutbacks Choa troubles : = by lormer Vancouver Mayor - at-much was made ‘clear Wednesday during the local hearings of the Public ‘Com- mission on Social and Com- munity.

But Deer Park seeks. telephone service By CasNews Staff Deer Park residents could soon be getting that long dis- tance’ feeling — at least if the Argentina and Britain ready to square off From AP-REUTERS As Britain moved Satur- day to’reinforce its South Atlantic task force, Argen- tina vowed to challenge ex- panded British new war zone around the Falkland Islands and the United States pre- dicted “new and terrible fighting" if peace efforts jailed. Britain also pressed the United States for additional refuelling support as Ar- gentine and British diplomats met separately with UN Sec- retary General Javier Perez de Cuellar in New York in renewed efforts to arrange peace talks in an effort to avert war. “We are moving,” British UN Ambassador Anthony Parsons said after his meet- ing with Perez de Cuellar. “The negotiations: are on the move, I think it's too early to say — to predict — what the result is likely to he. But we are on the move with a sense of great urge- ney.” Perez de Cuellar first, met with Argentine Deputy For- eign Minister Enrique Ros, then with the British amba- ssador. Asked by a reporter if Sat- urday “could be a make-or- break day” for finding a diplomatic solution, the sec- retary general'replied: “Yes, I should say. I hope that today we are having +++ real progress or at least ++. we will-know whether ... there is reason for hope.” Later at his news confer- ence, Parson was asked the same question, “I think that question could be answered in-many diff. erent ways,” Parson replied. “L believe it isn't a break day, Itcould turn out to be a make day.” SOVEREIGNTY OUT Earlier, Perez de Cuellar told reporters that his new peace efforts did not deal with the-issue of sovereignty over the Falklands. Both Britain and Argen- tina claim ig over the islands which the Ar. gentiaians invaded and sub- sequently seized April 2 after 149 years of British rule, Perez de Cuellar has ap- pealed to London and Buenos Aires to. exercise restraint during his mediation. London has said it is ready to give UN diplomacy a chance, but is is keeping all military options open. It claims Argentina is using UN mediation to play for time. British Foreign Secretary Francis Pym seemed to sug- gest Friday that Britain was prepared to wait. “We don’t know what is going to happen this week- end, next week, next month, how long we go on for,” Pym said, A. senior Reagan admin- istration official indicated Saturday that virtually the last hope of averting bloodier fighting lies with Perez de Cuellar’s mediation effort. The official, who requested anonymity, said the United Central K Regional District board has its way. The board agreed Satur- day to “urge and insist that B.C. Telephone Co. re-instate its telephone service to Deer Park.” frea J director Martin Vanderpo!, who represents the Deer Park residents, said that the area used to have telephone service before the construction of the Hugh Keenleyside dam. However, once the dam was built the community “more or less ceased to ex- ist,” Vanderpol said. But that's changed now, he claimed. He said a number of re- tired residents are now living College in at $10 million : By CasNews Staff Selkirk College has. re- ceived its 1982-83 budget, but it won't know where cuts — if any — will have to be made until the May 18 college board meeting. The board received $10.1 million for Selkirk College or an 8.9 per cent increase over last year and § 28 million for David Thompson University in Deer Park, and the num- ber of year-round residents has steadily increased, so that now there are about 30 there. He added that the tele- phone service could include the large area between Deer Park and Syringa Creek, and in the long run could involve as many as 600 homes. “One of these days we're going to have a serious ac- cident and there'll be no damn way to get an ambu- lance up there in time,” he warned. He said there is only one radio-telephone in the area now, “but it is an expensive service.” He added he didn't believe the residents should be “sec- ond rate citizens.” “I think they should have proper tel- ephone service. budget Centre — or a 9.9 per cent increase.

One woman told the com- mission her son has learning problems, and said that area of education hasn't been given enough recognition. She suggested the govern- ment should be adding money to the programs, not cutting funding. . . “If we want to do anything to help these . . . children, I think we have to add a lot more, “I don’t think saying we haven't got enough money is the answer.” Meanwhile, Hospital Em- ployees Union representative Bill Rolfe said his union is “extremely annoyed and an- gry" at the government's funding of hospitals and health care. He charged Canada has one of the lowest expen- ditures on health care in the industrialized world and B.C. has one of the lowest cost per patient ratios in Canada. June Bradbury, chairman of the HEU local at Trail Regional Hospital, said the restraint program will mean 22.5 people will lose jobs at her hospital and 11 beds will be closed. She noted only one position in the administrative section was lost, and that was be- cause of retirement. She said the h department will lose two- “Unless your hospital .is clean, your illnesses can run rampant.” She said Trail hospital already has silver- fish “which they are con- stantly battling to keep con- trol of.” The bed closures will be particularly felt at Trail, she said, because it is a regional hospital which accepts refer- rals from outlying hospitals, such as Nakusp, Grand Forks and Castlegar. Meanwhile, Judy Holms, a practical nurse at Kootenay Lake District’ Hospital in Nelson, said that hospital has opted to close completely its rehabilitation section. Holms said rehabilitation is an “essential part of our health care” and enables pa- . tients to return to a “viable state,” She predicted that the loss of the rehabilitation unit will mean ‘more work for the home care program. A spokesman for Willow- haven long term care hospital said that facility is closing June 80 and the 85 residents there have been given “evic- tion notices.” He said the hospital is un- able to obtain more funds from the provincial govern- ment, and says. it is short $6,000 a month.

She said that she will be buying more lottery tic- kets in the future — but certainly wouldn't want to go overboard in doing so.
