In the last stretch of his training, Garneau is cut off from personal contact with family and friends to prevent a last-minute illness. He is concentrating on final preparations for the eight-day space voyage scheduled to begin with liftoff at 4:04 a.m. Castlegar time Friday from the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral on the east coast of Florida. During the voyage he will be confined to a small space with six other astronauts, conducting 10 Canadian. PACIFIC My SOMES vic 4c6 Ph.

VIC aC d experiments, filming the launch of a statllite and doing his share of household chores as they circle the Earth every 90 minutes at a speed of eight kilometres a second. Garneau, a 35-year-old naval commander, is a native of Quebec City who has spent most of his career in Halifax and Ottawa. He was chosen from about 4,000 people who applied to be the first Canadian in space His fellow astronauts are all Americans: commander Bob Crippen; pilot Jon McBride; mission specialists Kathy Sullivan, Sally Ride and David Leestma, and oceanographer Paul Scully-Power. It is the largest crew ever to be sent into space by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration WIFE IN OTTAWA At home in Ottawa, Garneau’s wife, Jacqueline, is busy trying to keep her nervousness at bay as blast-off day draws near. She will see him this evening in Florida at a barbeque for the crew's spouses. “No children allowed because they're notorious for picking up and spreading germs,” said a U.S. space program spokesman The Garneau children, eight-year-old twins Yves and Simone, had to be talked into believing their father's space trip is a momentous event, their mother says. To them, an astronaut was as impressive as a bus driver until she put them straight. “In the beginning, they talked about it so casually because they've seen so many space programs on television, until I explained he’s the first Canadian astronaut, “she said in an interview. “They're excited now.” Garneau's parents, Andre and Jean Garneau; brothers, Philip and Braun; two uncles, and about 30 MARC GARNEAU in isolation other family members and friends are preparing to be at the site for the launch. They plan to roast a pig in cele bration at a friend's Florida home when the Canadian orbiter is safely in the air. “We'll get comfortably settled into a state of exhaustion — a bunch of nervous wrecks,” said brother Philip, a 25-year-old advertising agency writer who is co-writing a book on the event. A third Garneau brother, Charles, is going to watch the whole thing at home on television. At the National Research Council in Ottawa, Karl Doetsch, director of the Canadian Astronaut Program, is preparing for his job as the down-on-Earth expert on the Canadian experiments. He'll watch the launch in Florida, then fly to Houston to join other officials and scientists at the mission control centre. MAKE LIFE EASIER Most of Garneau's experiments are ultimately aimed at nudging the development of space technology further. hed to the climat launched into space. Sixteen hours of his tests deal with problems that: astronauts have adapting to living in space where there is no gravity. Among the besides motion sickness are optical illusions and a pins-and-needles feeling in the astronauts’ skins. Garneau will devote 19 hours to filming and investigating a reddish glow that develops around the shuttle when it is in space. The concern is the glow could interfere with sensitive optical equipment on other machinery used in space. About 14 hours will be spent experimenting with a Canadian-made sunphotometer that is used by the federal Environment Department to measure acidic haze. It will give scientists an ultimate “clean air” standard by which acid rain and haze can be measured on Earth. Just over an hour will be spent recording deterioration of materials in space. In the past, scientists noticed the originally bright red Canadian flag on the robot mechanical shuttle space arm became brown. The shiny film on thermal blankets on TV cameras became dull and flat and partly decomposed. MAJOR MILESTONE The research council's latest space program bulletin announced that it’s “all systems go” for the mission the federal government regards as a major milestone in the development of the Canadian space industry. So far the industry has been dominated by production of Canadian satellites used for communica tions and science research. Eleven Canadian satellites have been launched into space by the Americans since 1962. Garneau's voyage is part barter and part lure. Making room for a Canadian on this flight is a kind of thank-you from the Americans in exchange for Canada's contribution of the remote-controlled space arm to the U.S. space program three years ago. The lure is in trying to attract Canada into contributing to development of a manned space station the U.S. proposes to launch in 1992. The Ottawa government is still studying that possibility. 150 to be on job for launch CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. (CP) — By the time the space shuttle is ready for launch Friday, about 150 workers of the U.S. National Recordings will be made The National Research Council of Canada is de veloping a state-of-the-art computerized machine vision system designed to give more precise guidance infor mation to make it easier for astronauts to approach, cap ture and then berth large satellites or assemble other structures in space. The Space Vision System's major test is planned for a shuttle mission in early 1986. The experiment is design ed to test several aspects of the Space Vision System Marc Garneau will take video recordings of targets at tached to ERBS (Earth Radi ation Budget Satellite) dur ing its deployment into orbit on Day 1 of the mission. He will control video cameras lo- cated in the cargo bay and on Canadarm from the crew compartment during the sat- ellite’s checkout and deplqy- ment. ERBS will have féur targets on the underside of its solar array panels and six others on its sensor base.

Plan now for that special occasion LAYAWAY NOW DELAMONT LTD. 1370 Cedar Ave., Trail 368-3131 — ‘ Americans like wine WINNIPEG (CP) — One of the world’s foremost pro- ducers of Chablis wines says North Americans are discov ering that wine makes them “more cheerful, more easy going than spirits.” Jean-Jacques Moreau, owner of a large vineyard in Chablis, France, said that over the past five years, exports to North America by his company have skyrocket ed while sales on the French market have dropped to al most nothing. “People in this country are discovering that good wine goes with good food and makes good food better,” said Moreau, who is spending two weeks visiting liquor com missions and distributors in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver. “Wine makes you more cheerful, more easy-going than spirits do. People are drinking more wine now.” He said his company, J Moreau et Fils, has decided to export 98 per cent of its wine most of it to the United States, Great Britain and Canada — because the economic downturn has cre ated a soft domestic market. “France is in a full fledged recession now and our people are fighting for their incomes. Many of them Half of singles fall below the poverty line OTTAWA (CP) — A young person trying to live on his or ber own last year had a 50-50 chanen, of. falling .below.. khe péverty line, Statisties Can- ada figures show. The average income of people under 25 living away from their families was $10,748 in 1983, says the re cently released data from the federal agency. Among these people, 49.6 per cent fell below poverty lines established by the agency. The young were only mar ginally better off than un attached elderly people traditionally the poorest in society. Most of these are women with an average ‘Income of $10,557. In 1962, the average in came.of young, single people was $11,674, compared with $10,854 for those 65 and over. But these figures do not tell the whole story about the magnitude of poverty among young, single people. The statistics don't include youths who are unemployed ‘or work in low-paying jobs and live with relatives be- cause they are too poor to set up their own households. A study prepared for the Secretary of State Depart ment last year estimated that 59 per cent of unemployed youths live with one or both parents. The Statistics Canada fig: ures also do not include youths who may be travelling across the coyntry looking for work or who are in an in stitution because of medical or legal problems. Half the young people liv. ing on their own covered in the statistics earned less than $8,841 last year. Statistics Canada’s pov erty line for single people living in a large city such as Toronto, Montreal or Van couver is $9,429. Social scientists generally consider a Canadian to be living in poverty if 58.5 per cent of his or her income is used for the basic necessities of life. UDGET HELPER COUPONS can't afford what we pro- duce.” In Canada, most of Mor- eau's wines are kept at below $5 a bottle. “At that price we're com- petitive, and when people have a choice between Ital- ian, German and French whites for a similar price, they buy the French,” said Moreau. Moreau said his company will sell 120,000 cases of Chablils to Canada this year, compared with 10,000 cases four years ago. The United States imports 250,000 cases of Moreau Chablis annually. The 52-year-old wine ex pert says people in the village of Chablis, located about 175 kilometres south east of Paris, have made wine for more than 1,000 years. “In a nearby river valley, the Roman legions found vineyards when they con- quered the region 2,000 years ago. So you see, our people have had a lot of experience with growing the vine. We know all about slopes and terraces, wind, rain and soil.” Meanwhile, the industry continues to research ways of making better wine, he said. For example, some wine makers now age wine in stainless steel vats instead of the traditional wooden casks. “We found that the wood masks much ofthe perfume of wine. This way we can pres erve it all.” We need your Recipes for our 5th Annual Cook Book Send in the old family favorite recipe or your newest creation.
