Wells said all the province's education grants are made on this partnership basis. "The province has as much difficulty with funding as the school boards do. The new plans for improving the teaching and learning 6f French as a second language hi Ontario schools are nothing less than exciting," said Wells. Opposition leader Stephen Lewis said the program did little to persuade school boards to set up expanded French programs.

He said money alone would n(t be enough to spur boards into implementing more French language training. Wells said parental pressures, and the "national imperative to learn French" should be enough of an incentive for school boards. "TJie boards were waiting for the province to make a commitment," he said. "We've done that. For once we're really showing them how they should do it." r' 1 TORONTO (Staff) Ontario's new grant "formula to encourage French language teaching met criticism from both opposition parties at Queens Park Monday.

"This doesn't sound like much of an incentive program to me," said Liberal leader Stuart Smith. He said many school boards would be unable to expand their French programs when the province was offering to cover only 60 per cent of the costs. Each school board has to raise the other 40 per cent of the cost of its French-language programs through taxes in order to qualify for provincial support. Education Minister Tom Wells announced the expanded funding program for French programs at a press conference Wednesday. The province will increase its grants to boards with French immersion programs and those which expand regular French lessons.

"If Quebec separates, it cuts the economic bonds, too," he said.

The former New Brunswick Liberal premier, speaking in both French and English, was commenting to, a gathering of about 400 Monday night on figures released by the provincial Hospital dispute i Architects lose contract Outsider 'key' to Pembroke probe An architectural firm with offices in Gatineau and Vanier has lost an $8,000 contract to design a new municipal garage following a claim by a rival Hull firm that the Gatineau office was little more than a business front. Gatineau council rescinded a motion Monday granting St. Denis and Thibeault the contract after considering a protest from the architectural firm of Langlois and Blair that the Gatineau office has no regular staff and is used only for appointments.

In recent weeks, Mayor John Luck has been encouraging residents to do their shopping on the Quebec side of the river. The letter from Langlois and Blair noted that this policy should extend to municipal contracts as well. The least the city can do, they said, is "consider architects living in the Outaouais re gion. iff ft rw government to show how the province had lost $4 billion to Confederation between 1961 and 1975. He said the provincial use of Statistics Canada figures was so obviously incomplete "it cannot be used to measure the costs or benefits that would result from Quebec's separation or the impact of such a political upheaval." Senator Robichaud said the provincial claim did not take the ministry was proceeding in "the best possible way" toward that end.

Timbrell announced April 5 that a task force "to review the distribution of health care facilities and support services in the Pembroke area" was to be set. up. Among the announced terms of reference for the task force is the appointment of a knowledgeable consultant from outside the community to advise on the matter of governing the medical staffs of the two hospitals. The task force is to be made up of two doctors and two board members from each hospital, the chairman of both hospital boards, a Ministry of Health consultant (as observer) and the hospitals' administrators (as resource personnel). Action for Improved Medical Services (AIMS), a citizens' group that has been highly critical of health care in the area, has taken strong exception to the make-up and terms of reference of the task force.

In a letter to Timbrell April 9, AIMS said: Mental health debate HAVING OUR 2nd ANNUAL WT. M. "Sk, Tim O'Lett. Citizen not 'to dream in color' 1. ground the situation? Yes." James Roberts, administrator of Civic Hospital, said Monday the hospital board will discuss the task force for the first time at a meeting this week.

Dr. E. C. Pye, president of the Pembroke Medical Society, said his group has "considered many, many things" to end the dispute. He said the medical society, act-; ing "on the advice of the Ontario Medical Association and the college (of physicians and surgeons) is trying to say as little as about the dispute.

JpL COME IN TODAY-HELP US CELEBRATE HELP YOURSELF TO THE BEST BOATING DEAL IN EASTERN ONTARIO By Paul Jankowski Citizen staff writer PEMBROKE The Ontario Ministry of Health considers the Appointment of a consultant from 'outside the community as "a key" to ending the medical dispute that has divided this city for years. Ted Ball, executive assistant to Health Minister Dennis Timbrell said Monday the task force announced earlier this month was "the first stage" in an attempt to end the dispute between a citizens' group and the medical establishment. "The key is to bring in someone from outside the community," he said.

"We put a fair amount of emphasis on that aspect. "We really want to see it (the medical dispute) solved." He said CFVO's hardware bought Last week Radio Quebec completed a deal to purchase CFVO's antennae and transmitter at Camp Fortune. Radio Quebec spokesman Phillipe Paquet says he expects the Montreal educational TV network to relay Montreal programs to the Outaouais and the Ottawa Valley by May. The" equipment cost Radio Quebec $545,000. Paquet said the deal had not been made with the bankrupt Hull television co-operative of CFVO because CFVO had leased the equipment and not owned it.

He said Radio Quebec made the purchase from the Industrial Acceptance Corporation and the Caisse du Depot du Quebec which had been responsible for funding the cost of the equipment. The next step for Radio Quebec was obtaining a CRTC licence to broadcast. Paquet said he did not forsee any problems with the CRTC and expected a temporary licence in a few days. Explaining the kind of programming Ottawa area viewers can expect next month, he said "We're a kind of educational television network like you have in Ontario." Although a Montreal based network, the company wanted regional particiaption in programming. Three programs from the Ottawa region are already scheduled.

Paquet expected Ottawa regional participation to increase after last week's deal. He said Radio Quebec already had a production crew in Ottawa under the leadership of Rene Merrier. "The track record of the majority of the people you intend to place on your task force has been an abysmal failure. For the past 10 years they have, through design or ignorance, thwarted the attempts to introduce even the most elementary changes in our health-care system." The letter asked Timbrell "to initiate a full inquiry into the conduct of health care in Pembroke. We respectfully suggest that such an inquiry be open to the public." Ball said that "AIMS is definitely being listened to.

We understand their comments and we understand their concerns but we feel we are moving in the best possible direction." He said the task force, which is to report in March, 1978, does not preclude a full inquiry. When asked if the ministry had coritigency plans if the task force refused to consider appointing an outside consultant, Ball said: "As far as having a plan in the upper right-hand desk drawer, no. Are we flexible and can we "Everybody experiences stress whether it be pleasurable (such as a lover's embrace) or intolerable. You learn to cope with stress in one way and one way only through the school of hard knocks," he said. Anyone who has experienced sweaty palms, pounding hearts or fear has experienced stress.

Communicating their problems is the biggest barrier for most people. "This is why it is so essential to have formalized institutions like the Mental Health-Ottawa organizations. It's not like smalltown communication, where they take a great deal of pleasure from talking about their problems." People must also learn to deal with the feelings of guilt that often accompany prolonged stressful situations, he said. "People usually react favorably in situations that require immediate action. It's when the stress is low-key and prolonged that the persojj succumbs to depression.

At this point, isolation means disaster." He urges people to talk to friends and families before consulting a psychiatrist, because such acquaintances are more likely to understand the problem. robs grocery A short while later Constable Maynard Proulx spotted a man matching the suspect's description riding at full tilt north along Bank Street. Proulx gave chase in his patrol car and collared a suspect at the corner of Metcalfe and MacLaren streets. He recovered a quantity of cash and a starter's pistol. Appearing in provincial court today charged with armed robbery was Denis Gervais of no fixed By Brenda Brown Citizen special correspondent Brains and brawn clashed at the annual Mental Health-Ottawa meeting Monday night when an Ottawa athlete and a Toronto psyhiatrist discussed dealing with stress.

Gerry Organ, the six-foot, two-inch, 200-pound place-kicker for the Ottawa Rough Riders, told the capacity crowd that the combination of love and God is his solution. Stress in society is caused by people's inability to love each other, other than on a physical level, said the football player. "Having the capacity to love is the key to finding new solutions to problems that arise because of your social or employment problems." Organ was quick to point out that physical activity can help to "work stress out of your system." "But you can hardly suggest to a new widow that playing two sets of tennis will take care of her problem. "Faith lays a solid foundation for a new life," he said. Dr.

Allan Lyall, 42, of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto, said that in two years of research he hasn't found any formula for coping with stess. Bicycle bandit A 19-year-old bicycle-riding bandit had his wheels pulled from under him Monday after a holdup at a Bank Street grocery store. Police were called to Azzi Grocery at 925 Bank about 8:45 p.m. after a lone, unmasked man armed with a starter's pistol robbed the store clerk of an undetermined amount of cash. The clerk and several customers in the store furnished police with a good description of the man and told them that he escaped at high speed dn a 10-speed bicycle.
