(AP) The annual convention of the Quebec Teachers Corp. voted in favor of independence for the province and recommended that a public referendum be held on the independence question.

cleaning and restoring the nearly ancient artifacts. "Most of these items are priceless," says Black pointing to four sections of an intricate-long forgotten lighthouse. Another item is an eight-day oil lamp from the Cape Prince of Wales light at Wales, Alaska. "On that one, we used to pay Eskimos to go out to the light once a week in winter and refill the oil reservoirs," Black explained. Black has gotten many of his items from junk piles and dark corners of Coast Guard ware- "Just listen to this," he says, slamming a hammer against an old multi-tier bell-buoy.

"Would you believe someone was gooing to throw that away?" Black, 48, a native of Ridge-field Park, N.J., has been in the Coast Guard since Dec. 1, 1941, and is now beyond the 30-year mandatory retirement for commissioned warrant officers. "I was given special permission to extend one extra year, ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) CWO Kenneth Black began collecting Coast Guard memorabilia "for something to do" between rescue missions, search efforts and running the Rockland base he's commanded since 1968. In three years, the collection has become so extensive that it was designated last Jan. 3 the 1st Coast Guard District Marine Museum.

And Black was named its official curator. "There are at least 400 items here now and we're getting more every day," says Black, who extended his 30 years service for another year to head the project. The collection, spilling from three rooms at the Rockland base, includes bell buoys that still clang, lighthouse beacons that still flash and honking fog horns that once warned mariners of fog-shrouded ledges. "This is a living exhibit," he says. "Just about everything still works lights, horns, bells and hammer strikers.

And the kids love it." The 21 men assigned to the base have been caught up in the enthusiasm of the project, and spend off duty hours TO REMOVE MEMBERS AIUABA, Brazil (AP) The City Council has voted to remove two of its members who were jailed on charges of assassination of Armando Fei-tosa, the former mayor of the northeastern Brazilian town. ll ext.

But it was impossible. On NBC, John Chancellor and David Brinkley became short-tempered and refused to talk to each other. Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner on ABC were also not speaking to each other, and on CBS, Walter Cronkite wasn't talking to himself.

It was obvious to everyone in and out of the convention hall that a compromise can-diate to be found one who had not already been nominated. But who? The Democratic Party leaders call a recess behind the podium. They argue and thrash it out for several hours. The only man whose name is proposed as the compromise candidate is a very famous, but controversial, figure on the American scene. He has announced many times that he is not a candidate for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency, and has said under no conditions would he accept a draft.

ONLY ONE Yet, the leaders argue he is the one person who can save the party. This young man, whose name had been associated with a very embarrassing incident, is a household word now. Because of the deadlock at the convention, he is the only one who can possibly beat Nixon in November. The compromise candidate is not at the convention. He has purposely stayed away so people would believe he was not interested in the nomination.

O'Brien puts in a call to him. Everyone, in turn, gets on the phone and tells him he has to be the candidate. The compromise candidate speaks to George McGovern, Humphrey, Muskie and Wallace. They urge hiim to run. The candidate finally agrees to a draft and says he will take the next plane to Miami.

The fight to seat delegations has taken up three days and those people who were ruled ineligible have refused to give up their seats to those who were officially designated as delegates to the convention. Almost every state delegation has two people sitting in every chair.

No one dares the floor for fear that someone will grab his seat. When someone tries to speak he is hooted down by the opposition faction. Larry O'Brien, the chairman of the party, has the podium ringed with the National Guard so no one can grab the microphone. The nomination speeches have not been heard, but the candidates have been nominated McGovern, Humphrey, Wallace, Ghisholm, Jackson and Muskie. There have been no demonstrations for the candidates in the hall because everyone is afraid if he gets up and inarches they won't let him back in his section again.

On the first ballot McGovern picked up 1,234 votes, well shy of the 1,509 he needed. The rest were split between the other candidates with the uncommitted refusing to vote for anyone. DEADLOCKED The second and third ballot found no one budging. By the tenth ballot of Wednesday's all-night session, the convention was hopelessly deadlocked.

One must stay and play awhile to experience the near perfection of a mile-high climate that encourages year-'round do-it-yourself recreation. Albuquerque is one of the few places in the world that offers golf, tennis and snow skiing in the same day.

Sandia Peak aerial tramway, longest in North America, makes the nearby Sandia Mountains a totally accessible playground. And the thrill of riding the tram makes getting there half the fun. Intellectual hub of this fast-paced community is the University of New Mexico. Also serving the academic needs of the area is the privately-operated University of Albuquerque. LIFE STYLES VARY From the peace and privacy of a couple of cottonwood-shaded acres near the river to the Greenwich Village-like Bohemia of an Old Town apartment, life in Albuquerque comes in many styles.

For those who prefer a lot more of a good thing, the southern half of New Mexico is a land created for farming and ranching. The climate is mild and "urban crawl" are words applying to faraway, less fortunate places. To the north, magnificent mountains and lush, green valleys mock those who think of New Mexico as a desert state. Here history meets tomorrow, tradition is appreciated but not worshipped, and culture is a casual over-the-fence affair. Special to EL PASO TIMES SANTA FE, N.M.

To the newcomer, New Mexico seems a land of contradictions. Here, status comes in the gloss of a high-rise apartment with a "view" or the privacy of a crumbling adobe hacienda on a crooked street. Scenery ranges from verdant forest to the austere spectacle of White Sands National Monument, from the depths of Carlsbad Caverns to the heights of the Rocky Mountains. Yet, these very contrasts make living in New Mexico a totally personal experience, molded from the individual taste and preference of each resident. From the Los Alamos scientist involved in pure researcn to the retired fisherman involved in pure enjoyment, there are as many reasons for living here as there are New Mexicans CITY OF OPPORTUNITY Albuquerque, largest city in the staze (pop.

The heavy concentration of "think and theory" industries in the area create exceptional high level technical job opportunities and no pollution. To travelers speeding crosscountry on Route 66, Albuquerque's infinite varieties are totally invisible.
