From page one JM tried to pressure says Regan described as "another set of high-flown principales." "After a hundred and some odd years of mostly hot air, we're waiting for something concrete." He said the provinces missed a good opportunity to show some leadership in the education do-maine which is under their jurisdiction. The failure to reach agreement shows Quebec has a long way to go in the present system to find the kind of future security it is looking for." significant step forward considering the short time we had. But I would like to have seen more." Asked why he rejected the offer of a reciprocal agreement, Hatfield said Quebec has not respected an existing agreement signed with his firovince in 1969 which recognizes wo official languages in both bee and New Brunswick. "It was wiped out by Bill 22," he said. Levesque told reporters It would have been "a joke" for him to sign the premiers' declaration which he I Vai.

"Some horses develop a mild version of the disease and get a minor fever, develop antibodies to fight the invader and then recover. The test which is mandatory for race and show horses has resulted iti the death of more horses in one year than the disease has in 30 years, says Perusse. He said a July 6 decision by a Florida judge that killing horses which react positively to Coggins test is "arbitrary and unreasonable and without proper foundation in science or law" and that the disease does not contribute to the eradication or control of swamp fever (not be confused with equine sleeping sickness for which there is a vaccine available in Canada) led to his decision to declare war on the agriculture department. He said eight U.

S. states so far have refused to accept the validity of the test and eight more have repealed laws making the test mandatory. -The disease can be spread by unslerilized veterinary instruments, blood transfusions and from infected animals, equipment used on infected animals, virus-carrying insects such as horse flies and long close contact with infected animals.

Quebec had proposed that the admission criteria for English schools contained In Its language legislation (Bill 101) should be extended to cover other provinces signing reciprocal education agreements. The principal criterion would be whether one parent of a family moving to Quebec elementary education in English in Canada.

Premier Allan Blakeney of Saskatchewan said he would have been ready to sign an agreement with Quebec if it hadn't been for these restrictions. "It's my feeling an agreement would have been a constructive contribution to Canadlanism but we were opposed to the agreement being a mirror image of Bill 101." Blakeney added that in any reciprocal agreement he would insist on freedom of choice in language instruction for all Saskatchewan residents moving into Quebec. William Davis of Ontario said his province already is meeting its commitment to provide French-language schooling and he agreed that Quebec's conditions were unacceptable. "My view is that a Canadian is a Canadian and any restriction on somebody coming from one province of Canada to another because they may not have been a resident at a certain date is something I cannot accept as a matter of principle." The statement signed by the English-speaking premiers calls for a conference of provincial education ministers to review the state of minority language education in each province. The council of education ministers is to report to each premier within six months.

Following this, each province would annonce its policies and plans to provide minority language education. Nova Scotia Premier Gerald Regan said the premiers' decision is "a defeat for Mr. "We are negating any claim he might make that we are failing to provide minority education rights in our provinces," he said, adding that Levesque's bid had failed because he tried to pressure the provinces. Manitoba Premier Ed Schreyer said he is happy with the agreement and that he hopes Premier Levesque will eventually loosen the restrictions on English schooling contained in Quebec's language bill.

31 6 24 Monday People beginning to Indians accuse Museum of Man of grave-robbing The St. Regis Indian band accused the Museum of Man of grave-robbing Friday and demanded the return of the remains of 16 ancient Indians taken from a burial ground about 60 miles southeast of here. "We the Indian people do not want our sacred burial grounds disturbed," said St. Regis Chief Lawrence Francis in a statement issued through the National Indian Brotherhood. "We demand the return of our ancestral remains for a spiritual reburlal by the Indian people." A brotherhood spokesman said the remains were dug up and removed without Indian consent by James Pendergast, an archaeologist from the Museum of Man.

Jim Wright, head of the scientific section of the Archaeological Survey of Canada, said in an interview later that there had been a mistake in communications and that Dr. Pendergast had acted properly. Wright said the archaeological dig was a salvage operation necessitated by expansion of Highway 31 by the Ontario highways department. The highway expansion crossed a section of a St. Lawrence Iroquois village which included a burial ground.

Wright also said that if Pendergast had not removed the remains, they would have been bulldozed into a ditch by construction crews. Pendergast had tried unsuccessfully to reach St. Regis band leaders and had contacted a coroner. The coroner had authorized removal of the bones to the museum pending word on what the Indians wanted done with them. The choice, said Wright, was to bulldoze the remains or to bring them to the museum for brief examination before' turning them over to the Indians for reburlal.

He added that archaeologists wish some procedure could be worked out between coroners, Indians and archaeologists for similar incidents. Chief Francis said the Indians have not been consulted about the remains and that if archaeologists must satisfy their curiosity about the dead they should dig up white graves. "By this sort of action the Museum of Man is In fact saying that Indian graves deserve less respect than white graves," said Francis. "To dig up pieces of bone, analyse them, then sent them away from their original resting place to laboratories for disfigurement is, in our opinion, extremely disrespectful." CP Groucho went on to star as quizmaster on his own radio and television series after his brothers either retired or went into other businesses. The Marx Brothers comedy team was considered to rank among such masters as Laurel and Hardy, Will Rogers, Charlie Chaplin and W.

C. Fields. The common medical complaints of old age heart trouble, strokes, infections had confined him to home and fuzzed his famous wit. Visitors found him alternately alert and befuddled, but as late as his 85th birthday he was wisecracking and commenting on the downfall of former president Richard Nixon. One of his favorite characters was the lecherous Prof.

Hacken-bush, the wise-cracker with raised eyebrows, false moustache and a stooped walk like a tiger stalking a water buffalo. In later years, Groucho appeared without makeup on television, but he could not discard the leer. He was still recognizable. Groucho was an insult comic. Once, at the fabled Romanoffs restaurant, a waiter sobbed when Groucho gave him a kind word.

"It's the first time," said the waiter, "that Mr. Marx didn't insult me." Groucho, real name Julius, was born Oct. 2, 1890, In New York City, son of Jewish immigrants. His father Sam was a tailor who lived to 101. He came from Alsace-Lorraine.

His mother Minnie was born in Germany. As a boy, Groucho wanted to be a doctor. He loved reading and enjoyed being by himself. But so poor was the family that only Zeppo reached high school. go home Saskatoon has taken the Metis rebel's name and Riels trial plays thrice weekly at Saskatchewan House in Regina.

The re-enactment, presented by the city's Chamber of Commerce has become a summer regular. The trial is shocking, helping to fuel the rebel or patriot fire, but more disturbing is a piece of rope proudly on display in the RCMP museum in the city. The piece, about two inches long, is alledgely from the noose which hanged Riel. It seems a strange treasure for we civilized Canadians to put on display. One visitor to the RCMP barracks suggested it be put in an envelope and mailed to Rene Levesque.

As a warning. The visitor was an American, from Iowa. Saskatchewan Is a modest yet proud province. Ask anyone why he chooses to live here and he'll likely be stopped for an answer for a moment or two, but then he'll say "Because I like It, I guess." He won't elaborate. It's enough.

The provincial tourist brochure tells you bluntly that "we aren't going to tell you our province is bigger of better than any place else." Nobody pretends grandeur or trys one-upmanship. There's a sense of contentment. Flat, prairie simplicity. The biggest disappointment though is Lake Diefenbaker, ana-pology for a piece of water which suggests nothing of Dlefs character. He deserves a torrential lake, not a bland, wishy-washy piece of water.

Canada also deserves a better Mr. Average point than Moose Jaw. The city is often cited as the place where you can feel the pulse of the nation. Don't try and feel It at 5:05 p.m. on a Wednesday.

The streets arc empty, the stores are closed for the afternoon by a municipal bylaw and everyone's gone home for supper. Perhaps that says something. The Interpretation ft yours. Continued from Page One He lapsed into critical condition earlier in the day and slipped in and out of consciousness until his death. Marx had been in fair condition for weeks as he slowly recovered from a bout with pnuemonitis, but on Wednesday his vital signs became erratic, hospital spokesmen said.

Early Friday, he began to lose consciousness and his condition worsened, spokesman Larry Baum said. Present at the bedside with Miss Fleming were Groucho's son Arthur his grandson Andrew and a few other members of the Immediate family. The bushy-browed, mustachioed comic and his brothers Harpo, Chico, Gummo and Zeppo developed a style of wise-cracking, zany comedy which delighted vaudeville and movie audiences for more than 50 years. New morning paper to publish Sept. 6 Ottawa TODAY, the national capital's first new daily newspaper in more than half a century, will begin publication Sept.

6, president and general manager W.O. Morrison announced Friday. The first press run will turn out more than 50,000 copies of the new morning tabloid. It will contain more than 100 pages with 40 per cent news content. Ottawa TODAY will be sold for 25 cents Monday through Friday at 1,000 street corner boxes and retail outlets across the city by official mascot Roger Recycle) which cleverly disposes of old cars craftily regurgitating them as garbage cans, coat hangers and the like.

The program has helped clean up the metal debris from the countryside. The province also operates a highly efficient co-operative network of credit unions, wheat pools, housing assocations, retail outlets and co-operatives for the disadvantaged (those with social physical or intellectual handicaps). Not surprising, perhaps, in an NDP prov incc, but effective and impressive. Saskatchewan has its quirks and quarks as do all the provinces. It boasts the world's largest tomahawk (in Cut Knife) and the worlds largest oil can (in Rocan-vil'e).

It has towns named Eye-brjw, Elbow, Unknown Lake and Carrot River. And It has Lloydmin-ster or more correctly half of Lloydmlnster. Alberta has the other half. Lloydminster, a town of 11, 500, lies exactly on the border. On the east side of Main Street you are in Saskatchewan.

On the west side you are in Alberta. You buy your meat in Lloydminster, Sask. and your bread in Lloydminster, Alta.Which presents problems. In Alberta there Is no sales tax. In Saskatchewan It Is five per cent.

The stores on the east side of town could find themselves out of business by charging their five cents on the dollar, so the province has kindly consented to "forget its take." The exemption stretches to 20 or so miles from the town, or smaller communities would also find themselves losing out. Many of the Lloydminster citizens live In Alberta and work In Saskatchewan. "I feel like a man without a country" said one and have headaches with their income and municipal taxes. But the two sides get along together just fine. Louis Riel, surprisingly, is either revered or remembered by many in the province.

Saskatchewan is a surprising province, its people as lovably stubborn as a Diefenbaker.

Since about half of them work directly or indirectly on the land forging the living out of the soil, then their independent spirit isn't altogether surprising. But there the romance tends to stop. Don't get the notion that its farmers are toiling to make ends meet. Many have Winnebagos parked alongside their combines and head south when the frost comes. Many can afford to lose a pocketful in the casino.

The agricultural industry in Saskatchewan, though not quite booming yet, is doing very nicely, thank you, reversing the decline of the sixties. Add to that a booming potash industry, good oil reserves and a uranium inudstry that promises to bring massive prosperity to the province within six years, and its not surprising that people are beginning to go home to Saskatchewan. There was a massive population drop in the late 60s and early 70s. Now the grain is looking golder and they are moving in by the hundreds. There is the Qu'Appelle Valley, immortalized by poetess Pauline Johnson, with its fascinating humpy hills and where the gar-bageman does his rounds on a horse and cart.

There's the province's north-lands covered with forest and lakes accounting for 50 per cent of Saskatchewan's land mass. There are beautiful river valleys, small towns full of verve and character and the best sunsets God Invented. Saskatchewan is a surprisingly progressive province. Saskatoon is an artists delight, boasting a co-operative where painters, potters and sculptors can sell their wares.
