Beavers who are eligible to join Cubs in the fall, ‘swim

planning that event now. A District Beaver Day camp
will be held May 29 at Syringa Creek, and should be great
fun for boys participating. Earlier this spring, on March
12-13, a Beaver sleep-over was held in the Scout Hall for
16 older Beavers — the ‘white tails.’

The program included Loyd Groutage showing the
boys some excellent birch bark crafts.

There will be a Cub Camp May 14 - 16 at Tweedsmuir
near Fruitvale. Program plans include compass work, fire
building, lashing and three crafts using wood, bark and
other nature items. All boys will be making Indian
costumes and having a parade Sunday afternoon for
parents.

A book is being assembled by Boy Scouts of Canada to
celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Scouting. This ‘Book of

PLESSISVILLE, QUE.
(CP) — Andre Caouette's
year got off to a grim start.

Five minutes before he
finished his shift last Jan. 29
at Forano Inc.'s heavy ma-
chinery plant here, a shop-
mate told him it would be his
last after 44 years as a pre-
cision toolmaker for the firm.

Caouette is one of hun-
dreds of workers in this town
160 kilometres southeast of
Montreal trying to rebuild
their lives as local officials
grapple with a staggering
42-per-cent jobless rate.

“I was all turned around
for a couple of months,” says
Caouette, 58, recalling the
period after his layoff from
Forano, hub of the local
economy.

“It took me a while to
collect my thoughts," he
says. “That factory was part
of my life.”

After struggling with a
bout of depression that set in
with Caouette’s sudden abun-
dance of free time, he decided
to strike out on his own and
began repairing golf clubs in
a basement workshop.

The plan is working out
well. Caouette doubts he
could find another job at his
age.

He hasn't returned to the
plant since his dismissal and
is currently seeking com-
pensation from the company.
Caouette bitterly terms the
whole episode “a humilia-
tion.”

Forano employed as many
88 1,000 workers three years
ago, but has nearly halved
the size of the workforce
since 1979. Large layoffs
have been initiated by other
local businesses and more are
predicted for this summer.

Recruit federal MPs

AS

Prostitutes were used

MONTREAL (CP) — A
former RCMP officer says a
Parti Quebecois “spy ring”
used prostitues to recruit
federal MPs ad highly-placed
federal civil servants in order
to obtain classified infor-
mation,

“We knew these prosti-
tutes had made contacts.as
they had been directed to do
and that they had reported
back at least two times to the
person in the spy network
(who had hired the pros-
titutes)," Robert Potvin testi-

fied in Quebec
Court Tuesday.

Potvin, 48, was appearing
as a defence witness in the
jury trial of RCMP Insp.
Claude Vermette, one of 11
present and former Mounties
charged with the 1973 theft
of the PQ’s master member-
ship list.

He testified that the mem-
ber of the ring who hired the
prostitutes had a spouse
“who in the summer of 1972
had taken underwater demo-
lition training in gravel pits

Superior

adjacent to the city in which
she lived."

“We had uncovered a plan
by terrorist sympathizers to
place dynamite at the base of
the interprovincial bridge
between Ottawa and Hull,”
he said.

“The charge was not meant
to destroy the bridge but to
symbolize the wish to sep-
arate Quebec from the rest of
Canada.”

Potvin also said two classi-
fied d i ding one

into the hands of the alleged
PQ spy ring. It was feared
that foreign intelligence ser-
vices would obtain the classi-
fied information from the
ring.

Earlier, Potvin testified
that intelligence agents of an
“unfriendly” country met se-
cretly with leaders of the PQ,
apparently at least a decade
ago. -

Jim Tonn and senior ex-

“That's not quite the way it

well be mining legislation be-
cause they get the gold and
we get the shaft.”

“The revenue-sharing
changes came without any
consultation,” said Tonn,
“and we plan to show the
MLAs just what this will
mean.”

The new rules require mu-
nicipalities to pay $17 million
this year (nothing next year)
toward welfare costs, $1 mil-
lion for mobile home assis-
tance -programs, $3 million
for extra costs of municipal
boundary extensions,
$300,000 for underground

million for sewage assistance
programs.

The government says it
will deduct the money —
$71.4 million — from $235

The revenue-sharing for-
