LAURENT Mother a Broderick PIERRE ELLIOTT TRUDEAU Example No. 1 were brought up in two-language households. But how would they fit into any definition of an Anglophone or Francophone? Those are only the more prominent examples of those caught in-between. There are hundreds of thousands of persons in many provinces who defy definition because of their mixed parentage.

However, a good portion of them live in Montreal, gumming up all attempts by 1 icy-makers to classify them. For them the problem is anything but academic, especially if and when the Quebec government tries to set down legalistic definitions of who is considered what. As a group these "in-betweens" are buffeted everyday from all sides in the debates over language and culture. DANIEL JOHNSON Mixed parentage But, in the end, by the very fact that they defy racial definition, they may just play a key role in helping to work out a compromise solution to the agonizing language question in Montreal and even in Canada. W3-.

By Gary tautens What would Mrs. Packard have done? By JAMES FERRABEE of The Gazette Is Prime Minister Trudeau an Anglophone or a Francophone? The question may seem academic, but for tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of others who come from a mixed French and English parentage like Trudeau, the question is serious. And a proper definition of Anglophone and Francophone is one of many factors stalemating government policymakers on the touchy political issue of language of instruction in Quebec schools. The school language question reared its head in sensational headlines in 1968 over the ruling of a local suburban school board in the Italian-Canadian district of St. Leonard.

The board decreed that bilingual schools established there would be phased out and children would be taught in predominantly French language schools. Bill 63 After much debate, the then government of Premier Jean-Jacques Bertrand enacted Bill 63 in late 1969 which gave parents the right to choose the language of instruction for their children a right established in fact, but not in law, in Quebec up to that time. Demonstrations by nationalists broke out in an attempt to block the law. They claimed that French should be proclaimed the language of instruction of all schools, and that immigrant children especially should be obliged to attend French schools. They were unsuccessful.

Ever since, these groups have declared war on Bill 63, branding it the law which will eventually lead to the extinction of the French language, particularly in Montreal where the French majority is 60 per cent. Last week-i a report handed to the government titled "A Study of the Language Orientation of Several Groups in the Montreal Region," stated that since Bill 63 was enacted, more than 70 per cent of pupil transfers from one language system to the other, were from French to English; and only 29 per cent transferred the other way. A heavy concentration of immigrant children, 97 per cent the report said, chose English schools over French schools. Alarm immediate Cries of alarm were sounded again. The man who was minister of education when Bill 63 was passed, Jean-Guy Cardinal, has said that the "free choice" legislation should never have been proposed.

Last week, the militantly nationalist Montreal chapter of the St. Jean Baptiste Society called on the government to rescind Bill 63. But the. report is not definitive, and the authors are the first to admit it. It concluded, for example, that transfers from one language system to another involved some 4,000 pupils, which is only one per cent of the total school population of the island.

And it raised the very real problem of how you define an Anglophone and Francophone, pointing out that various school boards have had many different definitions in the past. If the parents are both Fischer's luck and Spassky's error build drama through fourth game Lombardy, smiling at U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne. Spassky was relaxed, smiling and satisfied with everything, especially the food, Thorarinsson said after visiting the Russian in his hotel. Unlike Fischer, who rarely moves out of his suite, Spassky walks around freely and takes most meals in the eighth-floor restaurant.

He has a special liking for Icelandic lamb. dark hall and in the cafeteria on the first floor. When Fischer played his 20th move, youngsters with oil cans moved out to oil doors to the hall. Shortly afterward the closed circuit television giving moves to the crowd was cut off for 10 minutes. A howl of dismay went through the cafeteria, where scores of fans munched hot-dogs and Icelandic dream cakes with their eyes fixed on the screens.

"It was almost like Yankee Stadium during a baseball game," said one U.S. and parcel of the play-off even before Fischer agreed to leave New York. With the crowd noisy and excited, the "silence" sign flashing off and on, Fischer pushed forward a pawn and looked up. Spassky, sitting very erect in his simple wooden chair, nodded and offered his hand over the board. Fischer accepted with an almost imperceptible nod, indicating a draw had been accepted.

During the match the organizers fought an hour-long battle to silence the crowd both inside the vast REYKJAVIK (UPI) -Organizers of the Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess championship last night said they hoped television cameras would be back in the hail for today's fifth game. Workers built sound-proof boxes at the entrances to the playing hall yesterday to block the sound of clattering dishes and voices from a nearby cafeteria. The fifth game is scheduled for 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT) with Spassky opening with white.

The Russian, defending for the first time the world championship title he won in 1968, holds a 2 Vk advantage in the 24-match' series. The 29-year-old challenger relaxed in his presidential suite at the Loftleider Hotel yesterday reviewing moves from Tuesday's game. Experts said Fischer was fortunate to escape from the game with a draw. Running through translated comments from Icelandic grandmaster Fridrik Olafson criticising one of his moves, Fischer nodded and said: "Yes, I agree it was not very clever." Grandmasters in the Icelandic capital for the championship said Spassky played a couple of dubious moves late in the game which cost him victory. Aides said Fischer was surprised by Spassky's strong opening attack and said the challenger was only too pleased to escape with half a point.

"I told you it would be a tough match once we got down to the tacks. Bobby is in fine shape he gets a lot of sleep and does not smoke big cigars like me or chew through three packets of cigarets like Mr. Byrne." This was from Fischer's second, the Rev. William Likes 'skyr' Mrs. Packard made me what I am today timid, shy and slightly yellow.

Of course you don't know Mrs. Packard. And neither did I. I mean, I never knew her first name, her hobbies, or her dreams. She had nicest lawn All I know is Mrs.

Packard had the nicest lawn on the street and scared hell out of us when I was a kid. At confiscating, she was tops. Anything that landed on that grass balls, pucks, homemade parachutes automatically became Mrs. Packard's property. And there was no appeal.

Mrs. Packard had the heart of a U-boat commander. Or so we thought. In our opinion, the only person in the entire world who might have a chance against Mrs. Packard was heavyweight champ Joe Louis and then only on one of his good nights.

Mrs. Packard kept the entire neighborhood in line. Complete authoritarian She was even more awesome than Pop Devitt (our Latin teacher) or Hiram Hull, the minister at the church. Pop Devitt's eyebrows were absolutely devastating; and we all knew Hiram Hull had God on his side and could turn you into salt with a glance. But Mrs.

Packard was the complete authoritarian. She had all the weapons, including a tongue that could cut you to ribbons at 30 feet. Why do I mention Mrs. Packard after all these years? Because of an experience I had yesterday. I caught a small boy (I'd guess 11) standing by the back fence, snapping a towel through the links at our dog.

And Sarah (who is a Doris Day type of dog all smiles and virginity) was going wild with panic. The boy was in mid-snap when I collared him. "Stop teasing that dog," I warned, giving him my best scowl, "or I'll let the dog loose and she'll bite you." Couldn't care less Fischer's favorite dish is "skyr," an. Icelandic milk specialty. Fischer all but danced off the stage after he had clasped Spassky's hand and accepted a draw on the 45th move of the fourth game.

The fourth game in what experts call "The match of the century" lived up to the drama which has been part imporvr In our teak boutique on the main floor The kid couldn't have cared less. He shrugged his shoulders, giggled, and started to walk away. "Did you hear me?" I demanded. "I don't want you near that dog again." This time the kid actually laughed at me. I ran after him for one final confrontation.

"Don't you have any manners?" I asked. The kid looked me in the face and said, "If you touch me, my father will sue you." And he sauntered off. I wonder what Mrs. Packard would have done.

Anglophones and the language in the home is mainly English, then there is no problem. The same situation would apply if the family was Francophone. What about the in-betweens, whose fathers may have been of French origin but whose mothers were English, or vice-versa? Three good examples from Canadian public life are the present prime minister, former Prime Minister Louis St.

Laurent, and the late Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson. Trudeau's mother is Grace Elliott, of Scottish English extraction. St. Laurent's mother's name was Mary Broderick, of Irish-English extraction. Johnson's father's name was Francis Johnson, of Irish extraction.
