But in less than 10 minutes Saturday afternoon at Maison-neuve Hospital, it all came true triplets and all girls. "I'm just crying with joy," Girl-Rule Attacked By Indians TORONTO Carol Wabegijig, 21, of Sudbury, says non-treaty Indians are unhappy with Expo 67 plans to let only treaty Indians be hostesses in the Indian pavilion. In an interview. Miss Wa-begijig said about half of Canadian Indian girls are excluded by the ruling. "It's not their fault that they're not treaty Indians.

This was decided for them." Miss Wabegijig, herself non-treaty, said the Centennial Commission encourages not only treaty Indians but all those of Indian ancestry to take part in 1967 celebrations. She said the same rules should apply at Expo in Montreal. In another interview, Jean Goodwill of Ottawa, who with Miss Wabegijig had been attending the Ontario inter-group relations conference in Port Elgin, said there has been a change in attitude among Indians toward the centennial celebrations. said the 31-year-old housewife. "My husband and 1 would have been happy with one girl, though we said, 'if only we could have two." "But three girls that was so impossible that we didn't think of thinking about it." On in 600,000 Tht Odds Statistics support her.

Dr. Cheber Samir, who assisted with the delivery, said the chances of triplets are about one in 600,000. "If they are all of one sex," he said, "that's very, very rare, indeed." A hospital spokesman said the babies are the third set of triplets in its 12-year existence, but the first of only one sex. Another rarity is that the babies were not born prematurely which is the usual case in multiple births. Mrs.

Payne said they arrived almost on schedule, weighing very healthy six five ,4 By Grant Johnston 11 and five one oz. They join Gary, 10, Steven, 6, and Bruce, five, who their mother says "just can't wait to see their baby sisters. "The boys won't fight over who takes care of their baby sisters because they'll have one eacV' she said. Mrs. Payne said she's feeling just great.

"I was up in a wheelchair Sunday morning and went to see my babies," she said. "Three girls after three bovs I just can't believe it." Her contractor husband doesn't believe triplets are the result of luck. "It's just hard work," he said. Mrs. Payne said two of the girls will be named Mary and Margaret.

"We need a suggestion for the third one." sworn in as chief returning officer for the balloting, and he will in turn swear Deputy City Clerk Vincent Chene as elections clerk. In his role of chief returning officer, Mr. Bouchard will proclaim that nominations will close Oct. 11 and that voting will be held on the fourth Sunday of October from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Aside from the mayoralty, electors will choose three city councillors for each of 15 districts, two in a sixteenth district and one in the seventeenth. The latter two districts are Riviere des Prairies and Saraguay, both of which became part of Montreal following the municipal elections of 1962. Change in format of the city council, which had lasted since 1940, followed the 1960 elections. Up to then the council had been elected for two, then three-year periods and consisted of mayor and 99 councillors divided into three 33-member categories, of which one category was appointive. Council accordingly was reduced to 67 members, and its term of office was cut to two years in anticipation of a new set-up to come into being with the 1962 balloting.

Thus, 1962 electors voted for mayor and 45 councillors all of the same category three in each of 15 electoral districts. Moreover, in a referendum they approved a four-year mandate, with right of dissolution under certain circumstances and calling of another election. A sizable team of computers and personnel labored throughout the long holiday weekend to put finishing touches to Montreal's electors' lists for the Oct. 23 municipal balloting so they might be speeded to the printer. But computers sometimes put on a show of temperament, and the chore that of incorporating the thousands of corrections arising from, revision before Municipal Court Judge Paul E.

Champagne and redistribution By Myer Negru of polls now is expected to be terminated by Thursday evening. Election officials plan to have printed copies of the lists, bearing roughly 380,000 names for the 17 districts, available by Sept. 15 for would-be candidates for office. To what extent they will be needed, however, is still moot. With not much more than six weeks to go, outward signs of an election are few and far between.

The Civic Party of Montreal, which now controls City Hall with 40 of the 49 council posts, will not make known its slate of standard-bearers before Sept. 25. Chiropractor Gilbert Croteau has announced he will field a list of candidates under aegis of the Liberation Party of Montreal and has made a number of declarations attacking the Drapeau-Saulnier administration. Other than that, it is mostly silence. On Sept.

Never Vows Artist Ritchie Ambulances Are Donated Twenty five ambulances, which will cruise the highways in Quebec and offer free services to accident vktims, have been donated to Prudentia by Dow Brewery. The announcement was made over the weekend by Dr. Claude Gareau, president of Operation Prudentia.

Prudentia is a project initiated this year whose purpose is to reduce the number of accidents during long weekends. Gerard I-evesque, vice-president of Dow' Brewery presented Dr. Gareau with the keys to the first four ambulances over the weekend. The other 21 ambulances are scheduled to go into services by December. At first, the ambulances will be available on week-ends only.

They will operate from Provincial Police stations. Montreal-born sculptor James Ritchie is back in town this week to promote an exhibition of his works but he says that as an artist he could never live in the city again. Ritchie, 36, started his career as a sculptor in Montreal, but seven years ago he pulled up stakes and headed for the warmer more leisurely climate of Vence, a little artistic village in South France, near the Riviera. Since then, he has steadily established himself as a well known and respected artist all across Europe. He likes Vence and finds the atmosphere there more conducive to artistic creations than the breakneck pace of living in ever-growing "Mind you," he says.

"I still consider myself both a Canadian and a Montrealcr. But it seems to me, that around here everybody runs around in circles. The pace is absolutely killing." But there is more to Ritchie's attitude than just By Hubert Gendron Montreal's go-go pace. He feels that despite the number of galleries and art boutiques Montreal isn't really an artistic city. "There are no real art critics in Montreal," he says, "only people who come to review your show and give opinions.

I think this city has real potential as an artistic city but first it should develop first rate art critics." Our critics, or reviewers, and he public will get a chance to see James Ritchie's work at the Gallerie Martal starting Sept. 7. His one man show will include 14 sculptures and some 40 drawings. Ritchie is not well known in Montreal, although he has had a show here every three years and has gained a solid reputation in Europe with four one-man shows in London. "To establish a reputation in Montreal an artist has to live here and maintain contacts," he explains, "if you don't the public just tends to forget you exist." After the ten day exhibition in Montreal, Ritchie heads for London where he will have another one-man show.
