ARI NSA *e MASTER FURNITURE Home Good: China Creek Phone 693-22 WAREHOUSE CLC DISAPPOINTED McDermott hits budget OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Labor Congress is reassessing its relationship with the Conservative gov- ernment in the wake of Finance Minister Michael Wilson's pro-business bud- t. “If only they had come down the middle — given us a piece of the load and business a piece of the load,” says Dennis McDermott, presid- ent of the two-million- member national labor organ- ization. “Then there would have been complaints on both sides, dissatisfaction on both sides . . . It would have been different,” he said in an in- terview. Instead, McDermott said, the budget hit working peo- ple with higher income taxes, the poor with higher sales taxes and the aged with inflation-diluted pensions. “What surprised me was that it was @ lot more poli- tically stupid than I thought it would be. Conservatives behaving like Conservatives doesn't really surprise me. “But I thought they would try to appear progressive because of the political im- plications — especially dump- ing on the seniors the way they did,” he said. WITH INCO McDermott refused to speculate what the final re- action of the congress will be. That will be hammered out at a special meeting of the CLC’s executive council next month. But he's already moving to debunk publicity surround- ing the personal relationship that has developed between himself and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney since the Tories were elected last Sep- tember. “We haven't had any ter- rible, close-up, comfortable relationship . . . The meetings T've had with him personally have been on other matters, like the peace caravan’ or human rights. I haven't had any basic labor meeting with him at all,” McDermott said. One price the government may pay for its budget is CLC participation in the so- called Nielsen committee, the task force set up by Deputy Prime Minister Erik Nielsen to reduce the size and cost of government. The congress went along with McDermott last winter after he agreed to a gov ernment request for the CLC to take part in the task force. But opinion was deeply div. ided within the CLC execu tive. John Fryer, a congress vice-president who heads the 240,000-member National Union of Provincial Gov- ernment Employees, believes withdrawal from the task force would be an effective means of protesting the’ bud- get. “I never thought we should have been on it, in the first place . . . It's improper for trade union leaders and rep- representatives to be part of a committee whose job it is to abolish the jobs of working people,” Fryer said. McDermott concedes that many within the labor move- ment were hesitant about co-operating with a Conser- vative government but said he took the position that the new administration deserved at least a chance from the labor movement. He still believes that some contact between a national labor body and the gov- ernment is unavoidable but says consultation was a waste of time in terms of its impact on the Wilson budget. “I don't understand the voodoo of this — that all you have to do is provide in- centives to the private sector and everybody is going to march in with cartloads of money and start new enter- prises,” McDermott said. Stewards like contract SUDBURY, ONT. (CP) — A tentative three-year con- tract with Inco Ltd. has moved a step closer to rati- fication with overwhelming acceptance by normally mil- itant union stewards. About 175 stewards with the United Steelworkers of America Local 6500 voted more than 90 per cent for the deal at meetings Monday. It marks the first time the stewards’ body has voted in favor of a tentative contract since 1972. The local’s 7,000 members will vote at the widespread regional operations of the giant nickel producer on Fri. day. The union's bargaining committee unanimously rec. would be in a legal strike position. Workers walked off the job for one month in 1982 and for 8'2 months in 1978- 1979 in the biggest strike in Canadian history in terms of lost man days. The new deal offers a con. tinuation of a cost-of. livihg allowance with in creases tied to the inflation rate and wage improvements linked to the price of nickel for the next three years. ADDS ALLOWANCE It contains a “roll-in” pro- vision whereby portions of the cost-of-living allowance will be added to regular wages for the calculation of overtime and holiday pay. The average current wage ommended acceptance at for an Inco driller is $13.48 an sh ings Tues- hour ing cost-of-living day and today. allowance.

Big Mac has own shrine DES PLAINES, ILL. (AP) — Paris has the Louvre. London has Madame Tus saud’s. Now this Chicago suburb has the McMuseum. The McDonald's Museum was dedicated last week in the red-and-white-tile restau rant where hamburger his. tory was made 30 years ago. It was under those neon golden arches that Ray Kroc opened his first drive-in res taurant on April 15, 1955. Today, more than 52 billion burgers later, it's “an Amer. fean landmark,” said com pany president Michael Quin lan. “This is where Ray Kroc took his first step in building what has become the world's biggest small business.” The museum will be vin. tage 1955: mannequins in white shirts, paper hats and thin black ties identical to those worn by the first em ployees; tapes of Elvis Pres. ley and other rock ‘n’ rollers; original hamburger wrappers and four period cars in the parking lot.

COLUMBIA VINYIL Day or Night 3¢ 410 LIFESTYLES Intensive program helps stutterers TORONTO (CP) — Having learned to pop his Ps and not to stretch his THs, psychiatrist Paul Silverstein may finally have stuttering beat. A severe stutterer since the age of three, Silverstein had tried a vareity of treatments before 1975 when he joined the intensive three-week program offered by the speech pathology department at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto. “By the middle of the program, I noticed this was different,” Silverstein says. “My speech was more fluent than it had ever been in my life.” Over the past 10 years, the precision fluency shaping program has helped about 700 people improve their speaking abilities. It is based on a program developed by Virginia psychologist Ronald Webster and was the first of its kind to be offered in Canada. Julie Mazzuca Peter, acting director of the institute's speech pathology department, says there are two theories on stuttering. One views stuttering as the result of an underlying psychological problem and therapy is geared toward uncovering and dealing with the neurosis and accompany- ing fears rather than the speech problem. The other theory, on which the fluency shaping program is based, sees stuttering as learned behavior and “tries to change the actual stuttering behavior by applying learning principles in a systematic way.” SPEECH RECONSTRUCTED Using stop watches, tape recorders and voice monitoring i the speech ist recon- structs the stutterer’s speech, including speech rate, breathing and articulation. Patients meet daily in a small group with the pathologist for 40-minute morning and afternoon sessions. The rest of the day is spent practising alone. One speech exercise deals with sounds that have a hissing quality — S, F, H, SH, CH and TH — and teaches patients not to lose valuable air by stretching them out. Another exercise involves sounds that pop — P, B, D, K, T and G — that cannot be stretched and should be said very lightly and briefly. Patients are taught to speak much slower than normal and to pay attention to how they breathe. How they start their speech — the correct way is to start gently and gradually increase loudness — is also important. After a concentrated three weeks of establishing new speech patterns and using them in everyday speech, Bruce Wall, a stutterer all his life, is happy with his new fluency. “I'm still a stutterer,” the 52-year-old accountant said. “I'll always be one. The only thing is now I have lots of targets to work on.” Peter says stuttering is primarily a childhood disorder affecting four boys to every girl. About 75 per cent of children outgrow the problem with or without therapy but the other 25 per cent will continue to stutter as adults. Most stutterers don't stutter when they're alone, when they're singing or when they're relaxed. The problem usually arises when they're speaking to large groups and persons of authority, or on the telephone. How to run without fear 42’'x84"’ (open) plus 8 Chairs +698 CARPETING PRICES NEVER BETTER All 1984 Stock Whirlpool Refrigerators BIG 16.4 CU. FT. ALL REFRIGERA REFRIGERATOR 10 cu. ft. Upright Freezers zee 5429 seme $479 By ROBERT BARR NEW YORK (AP) — Books on jogging used to offer tips on thwarting dogs, avoiding muscle cramps and curing shin splits. It’s only now that a book promises to explain how to reduce — not eliminate — “the risk of heart attack and sudden death during aerobic exercise.” It's not a pleasant thought. However, it's one which caught up with the craze last July when a heart attack killed best-selling running writer Jim Fixx. Fixx's death is the start- ing point for Running With. out Fear (M. Evans and Co., $12.95) by Dr. Kenneth A. Cooper, who developed the popular “aerobics” method for keeping fit. If you were running fear lessly up to now, Cooper will give you cold sweats with his clinical discussion of the sneaky, silent ways in which your heart could kill you. It could be clogged arter- ies, an enlarged heart or some other abnormality. It could be an inherited prob- lem, or it could be caused by stress, high blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol in your blood, diabetes, eating too well, exercising too little or smoking. It doesn’t matter if you have been running hard without a sign of heart dis- ease, Cooper said. It doesn't matter if you've run mara- thons or triathlons. Your heart may be a mess, without ever sending a warning sym- pton. “There is absolutely noth ing known to man that is to- tally protective against cor- onary heart disease, whether it is medicine, gery or marathon running,” Cooper writes. “Furthermore, the heart is masterful at disguising its problems. You can run along for miles and miles at a heart rate of 150 or 160 beats per minute. You may feel quite energetic, and you certainly may not experience any pain. But even as you run, you could be suffering from ser- ious clogging of the arteries leading to the heart. In fact, sudden death may lurk just around the corner unless you take steps, other than exer cise, to correct your condi. tion.” That's not what he preach ed in the first Aerobics book 17 years ago, Cooper said in a recent interview. The idea that exercise conquered all evolved into a comprehensive program — diet, no smoking, regular physicals including a stress test — in which exer- cise remains a key part. He's certainly not trying to talk anyone out of running. At age 54, he's nearing the 34,000-kilometre mark, run- ning five kilometres four or five times a week.
