Up the Berger inquiry into a Northern Canada Natu ral Gas pipeline is to begin hearing Canadian Arctic Gas pipelines Ltd s formal application tuesday against the Back ground of yet another Federal minister appearing to Down Grade its importance. Science minister Bud Drury was the latest Ottawa Politi India tops buyers list Washington a India has emerged As the largest foreign buyer of United states wheat this season with orders which could exceed five million metric tons at an estimated Cost of More than million a Trade analyst in the agriculture department said today. The Indian wheat orders mostly for Cash Are the larg est since that country received huge quantities of . Grain As Aid in the mid-1960s. Unlike the present commercial sales the earlier shipments were financed through Long term soft credit arrangements. John Parker of the agriculture department said India s recent purchases were under taken because of a sharply reduced 1974-75 food Grain crop and precarious. Stock position in its own reserves. Last season when it bought 1.6 million tons India was fourth in the . Wheat mar Ket behind China Japan and the soviet the cur rent fiscal year China is expected to take less than 1.5 million tons of . Wheat Japan about 3.0 million and soviet Union about 1.2 Mil lion. . Wheat exports to All countries in 1974-75 Are expected to total about 30 million tons. Parker s report said India is expected to take at least 4.6 million tons but be told a reporter those orders could exceed five million. India also will get an additional 2.6 million tons of wheat from other suppliers mainly the european economic Community Argentina Canada and Australia for a total of about 7.2 million tons.

Cian to comment on the billion project and the inquiry by chief Justice Thomas Berger into its environmental social and economic impacts. Or. Drury said Over the weekend in Vancouver that Ottawa cannot afford to wait for definitive answers to questions about such matters. It is not aware of any serious problems and judge Berger was appointed in Case of some unknown Factor he said. The government is trying to Railroad the opinion of the Ca n a d i a n commented James Wah Shee of the . Indian brotherhood. He added that he did t think Ottawa would be successful. Or. Drury joins prime min ister Trudeau Energy minister Donald Macdonald and environment minister Janne Sauve in of Federal ministers who in news reports at least have done Little to bolster the Confidence of Northern people that the Berger inquiry represents their first real Chance to influence the direction of future Northern development and in effect their own future. The judge informed reporters prior to the opening of his hearings March 3 that he will not be available for interviews or statements while the inquiry goes on. But aides say the judge s real concern is that the North Ern people which is what the inquiry is All about will nol lose Confidence in the hearings and adopt the notion that Ottawa s mind is already made up. Meanwhile the press corps at the hearings has dwindled from a High of about 40 to fewer than half that number accounts of the hearings Are distributed daily across the territories in All of the main Indian and Eskimo languages by native reporters. Canadian Arctic Gas pipe lines ltd., which has applied for a right of Way across Crown lands for its pipeline has lined up an impressive panel of witnesses to begin evidence tuesday on engineering aspects of the pipe line.

The Federal Highway administration has al located million under a new program for specific safety oriented projects such As installing left turn lanes improving rail Highway Grade Crossings and widening and re building existing roads Stabler said. Chimp talks to its Trainer Lana can now Tell Tim to go to the Back of her room and ask Ham to Load some bananas on to a conveyor Belt. Lana can t speak As most people do but she can form Complete sentences that allow her and Tim to communicate with the Aid of symbols and a computer. The ability to form sentences might not seem remarkable except for the fact that Lana is a Chimpanzee. Tim is her psychological Trainer. Experimenters have deter mined that chimpanzees can communicate in much the same Way As said or. Jack Michael an american psychologist who described Lana s Case to about 100 people at the third annual conference of the Manitoba behaviour modification association. Or. Michael was speaking saturday during the second Day of the conference held in the Northstar inn. Using Ordinary reinforcers a system of rewards for changes in behaviour Lana has been taught to speak to Trainer Tim in. An Experiment being conducted in Atlanta Georgia said. The Chimpanzee lives in a Large room in which one Wall contains a computer panel and screen. On the panel Are a number of buttons which Lana must push if she wants to say anything to Tim. Symbols Are embossed on each of the buttons represent ing such objects As bananas and actions such As when Lana pushes the but tons in a certain order sym Bols for each Button appear on the computer screen in the same sequence. If the Chimp wants to be fed therefore she has to push the three buttons that say give Lana Lana give however would be incorrect and the hungry Chimp would t get her favorite food until she got the symbols in proper order. Lana is being taught Lan Guage like any Ordinary or. Michael said. She must earn to name things before he gets the results of this Experiment have implications which extend to humans said or. Mihael a psychologist who Stu lies behaviour modification at he University of Western Mihigan in Kalamazoo Michi Gan. Such research has significant Impact for the teach ing of language to the mentally retarded the psychologist said. Experiments such As those Vith Lana illustrate that cer Ain goals such As the learning f a language can be achieved Vilh the help of or. Michael said. Reinforcers Are actions which Reward the behaviour de sired and involve a system de eloped under behavioural psychology. It s not intrinsically Reward no for people to do or. Michael said. This is illustrated for exam ple when students live to Ether in co operative Resi Dences and agree to share household chores. These places usually deteriorate because the people get at unions should pay for strikes pcs unions or other organizations culture s Extension service pro which disrupt the free move ment of agricultural products should have to pay the costs delegates attending the Mani Toba progressive conservative party annual meeting said sat urday. The party s panel on agriculture unanimously approved a Resolution asking that unions or other organizations which prevent the free movement of agricultural products be made legally responsible for the costs of the interruption including demurrage costs. The Resolution said Farmers had lost millions of dollars in demurrage charges and lost sales and it might be necessary to sell their products at lower prices As a result. It noted Between May 1974, and March 1975, agricultural products had moved freely for Only 10 weeks. Coming out strongly in sup port of private land ownership the delegates promised a conservative government would facilitate the entry of new Farmers into agriculture and the expansion of existing farm land through existing Federal at i 433 St. Mary s Road 233-1730 9 .

During the Days of government control she said those who opted to continue in private ownership had to pay 90 per cent of their income in taxes to the govern ment. Government ownership scares me she told applauding delegates. Or. Bill Craddock of the University of Manitoba said the provincial government s land lease program was trying to limit farms to the size of a by gone at one time the Manitoba credit corporation was used to assist Farmers to buy their land now it is Only in the business of or. Crad Dock said. Harry Enns former Deputy provincial conservative Leader said the party should be pre pared to offer Farmers a viable alternative such As Low inter est rates and Long term Loans. Delegates called for the re Gram through agricultural representatives and Home economists to its former role As Rural agricultural production advisers to meet the needs of Manitoba Farmers. Several delegates claimed the appointment of Bill Janzen As Deputy agriculture minister had changed the depart Nen into a political instrument rather than an organization which reflected the views o Manitoba people. One Delegate claimed Rura representatives of the depart ment try to push nip poll cies Down our throats by Tell ing us they Are Good for delegates also supported the idea of an emergency program to help cattle producer through a crisis in the live Stock Industry created partly by government incentive pro Grams. Rather than transferring ownership of cattle to the provincial government for a Cash Advance pc Delegate proposed instead a in Terest free loan without Transfer of ownership. Delegates also called for revision of rail rates to eliminate present rate inequities and allow natural competitive advantages to exist and land use policy that would pre serve farm lands for agric Tural use against too Muc Urban intrusion. Each other s he scid. The students blame each other for chores not done because there usually is no organized system of rewards. Under a system developed by one behave Oral psychologist students joining a co operative residence were required to sign contracts which outlined specifically what activities had to be performed. If a student completed his required activities he received a rent reduction or. Michael said. Nothing was left to Man s Good nature or his the psychologist said. Such systems could be used by others who wanted to set up a co operative living situation in order to save on rent and food expenses or. Michael said. As Well As listening to or.

Trustees told need for questioning real by Debbie Lyon free press education reporter it does t matter if people see education As being in a crisis situation if that Means hey Are constantly re examining objectives and programs 3oris Anderson editor of Cha Elaine Magazine said Satur Day. I would worry a lot More if we Stop doing that kind of exams. Anderson told More than 700 people attending he closing banquet of the Lith annual meeting of the Mani o b a association of school trustees in the Winnipeg inn. Stressing the need to keep h i n g s in perspective she warned that what is needed to prepare students for tomorrow von t be accomplished by lec using about the Good old Days of education preventing communication by hiding under the educationist s jargon or by let Ting it All hang out. We must reach to the past to retain the Best. Teachers must have the Freedom to teach in their own style we must speak with honesty and listen with she said. The school system has been geared to prepare students to Deal with the problems of the past. I believe it is quite evident that the world of easy affluence that we prepared them for is probably a thing of the she added listing some of the problems that they face such As National Unity Urban growth and careful use of re sources. Site questioned the desirability of swings in educational thought from the traditional to free school and Back again. She reminded those attending that in the Good old Days Basic education was regarded by Many As a frill few Stu dents went on to higher Educa Tion and teachers were often paid in farm produce. Today the system is salvaging More students who need special approaches to Educa Tion. Teachers Are expected to do things that were once considered the Job of parents. And teachers must compete with other systems like television which can present a false impression of society. As parents become More concerned about their Chil Dren s education and As educationalists appear More Secre Tive and defensive better lines of communication Between the two groups must be established she said. Education must also begin to Stop sex stereotyping. There is still a lot of sex stereotyping going on. It could be stopped in the schools we need new models to hold out for girls we need bet Ter counselling for girls in m s. Anderson who once taught school in Rural Alberta stressed that society loses both ways if it teaches males to be successful or be in danger of losing their masculinity and females to fear Success or lose their Femi nity. During an interview with the Grade 3 teacher of one of her three sons she was told that her son was doing Fine in school though not As Well As girls who always did better than boys at that stage. I often wonder what Hap pens to those Bright girls when they be grown up and find All those backward boys running Algeria Lowers Price of fuel Kuwait a Algeria has made another slight break in the Oil Cartel s Price front by lowering the Price of its Low Sulphur clean burning crude Oil by 21 cents a barrel Oil sources in Dubai report. Observers in London had said after an earlier Cut that it was difficult to Tell what effect if any such Small reductions might have on retail prices of gasoline and fuel Oil in the United states and Europe. Algeria s reduction to a barrel from ?11.96 follows a 55-cent-a-barrel Cut by Abu Dahabi on Oil of higher Quality last week. The sources in Dubai for a meeting of Arab Oil producers said Libya and Nigeria Proba Bly will reduce their prices slightly to compete with the reduced prices. The London observers said that even if substantial Price cutting developed the Oil companies might not pass on the savings to their . Customers because Many of them Are sell ing refined products at prices lower than the maximum al Lowed by . Government regulations. The base Price for crude Oil turn of the department of Agri set by the organization of Petroleum exporting countries open is a barrel but prices vary according to the Sulphur Content of the Oil. Demand for Oil has dropped considerably in the West As the result of the economic slow Down and a mild Winter. The Oil companies responded to the reduced demand by cutting production and such Long time giants As Iran saudi Arabia and Kuwait have been Able to weather the drop in Revenue without too much difficulty. But some of the smaller producers with ambitious spending programs Are feeling the Pinch badly. Abu Dahabi was particularly hard hit because its Oil has one of the lowest Sulphur contents and hence its Price was one of the highest. Although the 13 members of open decided at a meeting in Vienna last month to hold the Price line generally they agreed that Small adjustments could be made for special cases. The sources in Dubai said Algeria notified several foreign Oil companies last week that son Atrach its National Oil com Pany was reducing the Price of crude Oil to from a barrel.

The pontiff told the jesuits to shun Novelty for its own Sake which questions everything and destroys today what it built yesterday and warned them against Hazar Dous their numbers dwindled to from in 10 years and the jesuits have been brimming with dissent.
