1975. was well known for his love for football at all levels and seldom missed any Logan Chieftain grid action. Tom Berchou, who succeeded Valiquette as the Carborundum plant manager here, cited great admiration for the city of Logan and local citizenry plus that robust love for football as the key factors in making the birth of this award a very natural happening. Valiquette played three years of varsity football at North Tonawanda High School in North Tonawanda, N.Y. He received all-conference honors for his play at tackle during his junior and senior years and also kicked extra points, demonstrating his all-around ability.

Several years of semi-pro football action in the Niagara Falls area preceded a three-year hitch in the U.S. Navy. Upon discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1946, Valiquette embarked on a Canadian professional football career, which would ultimately span a period of seven years and include several honors. Six years of play with the Hamilton years at the outset of his pro career and then two more years after one year with the Edmonton Valiquette a place in the Hamilton Hall of Fame.

His play at guard and tackle, the added duties of kicking off and his exemplifying play on the field led to a nomination by his coaching staff for the Russell Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to the player in the Big Four best combining sportsmanship and ability. Valiquette started with borundum in 1941, working mostly in the finishing department during his early years as an hourly employe while playing football as much as possible.

WASHINGTON (AP) A new government statistic indicates that the economic recovery may be taking place faster than economists had thought. The new evidence of recovery from the recession came Monday in a Federal Reserve Board report that the industrial output shot upward by 1.3 per cent in August, the best one- month showing in nearly three years. lodes very solid.

It looks like headed said James L. Pate, the Commerce chief economist. He said the industrial production report was consistent with other economic statistics reported recently but that the production figures showed a firmness to the recovery that was not so readily apparent in earlier indicators. Industrial production represents the output by volume of the factories, mines and utilities. The growth of the service sector of the economy has diminished the significance in recent years, but the industries it covers still employ almost one-third of the U.S.

labor force. And it is in the manufacturing sector where most of the persons who lost their jobs because of the recession were employed. In releasing the August figures, the Federal Reserve Board also revised statistics for earlier year to show that an upturn in industrial production began in May instead of June as reported earlier. The August figure thus was the fourth straight month industrial production rose after beginning a steep decline last fall. Consumer goods continued to show strength, rising 1 per cent based primarily on increased sales of such products as furniture, carpeting and appliances.

Automobile production was little changed, but the business equipment sector rose by 1.8 per cent, marking the first upturn there in 11 months. In another report Monday, the Commerce Department said manufacturers and merchants continued to reduce their inventories by $569 million, or two-tenths of 1 per cent, to $263.9 billion. In other economic developments: than 20 major commercial banks nationwide followed the lead of New First National City Bank and increased their prime lending rate to 8 per cent from per cent. American World Airways sought Civil Aeronautics Board permission to fly domestic passengers between New York and San Francisco for $199 per round trip, far lower than the discount fares now offered by other carriers. projected 82.5 per cent curtailment threatened half of the 360- member work force.

A curtailnment of 100 per cent on boiler fuel and 65 per cent on process fuel, he said, would drop production in half. The bakery produces 93 million packages of goods annually for distribution to 249 supermarkets, Pugh said. Paul Westbrook, plant controller for Omar Bakeries in Columbus, said an 81.6 present curtailment to his company, would force it to use more expensive alternate fuels, driving up product prices. impact resulting from such a (curtailment) would have a potentially devastating effect on our ability to produce baked foods in quantity and he said. A switch to fuel oil, he said, would put Omar at a competitive disadvantage with products from bakeries still supplied with gas.

Food processors want priority status from the PUCO for gas deliveries under any curtailment plans. PLO Loses Bid To Kill Sinai Pact CAIRO (AP) Four Palestinian guerrillas who occupied the Egyptian Embassy in Madrid and held the ambassador hostage were flown to Algiers early today, and President Anwar Sadat angrily rejected their demand that he repudiate his new Sinai agreement with Israel. Sadat in a speech said the Palestinians they could terrorize us or compel us to a path that is not ours. We say, I repeat: Never will anything of this sort take He charged the Soviet Union with manipulating Syrian and Palestinian opposition to the new Israeli withdrawal agreement signed Sept.

The PLO denied responsibility for the Madrid attack and denounced the of the Cairo statement. The guerrillas who seized control of the Madrid embassy Monday morning and took the ambassador and two of his aides hostage had threatened to blow up the building at midnight if Egypt did not tear up the agreement with Israel and recall its representatives negotiating in Geneva with the Israelis.

But their occupation ended at 3 a.m. without violence. Accompanied by the Algerian and Iraqi ambassadors to Spain, the guerrillas and their three Egyptian hostages left Madrid aboard Algerian President Houari personal plane. On their arrival in Algiers, Egyptian Ambassador Mahmoud Abdul Ghaffar, his press attache and his consul were freed. The other two diplomats, Algerian Ambassador Khaled Keladdi and Iraqi Ambassador Hassan al- Nakib, escorted the guerrillas into Algiers.

There was no indication what the Algerian government had in store for them. Early Sales Of 1 976 Models Give Boost To Auto Industry DETROIT (AP) An increase in General Motors car sales, surpassing even last buying spree, has lifted the pace of U.S. auto sales to within 7.5 per cent of year-ago levels for the first third of this month. GM was the lone domestic auto producer to report a gain from year- ago levels for the Sept. 1-10 period, notching a boost of two-tenths of 1 per cent.

Chrysler Corp. was down 2 per cent; American Motors was off 14.5 per cent; and Ford Motor Co. plunged 21 per cent. Over-all, U.S. auto makers sold 150,241 cars during the period, with its eight selling days.

The 1974 span, with seven selling days, produced sales of 142,172. The daily sales rate, on which the industry bases its percentage comparisons, was 18,780 for the most recent period, compared with 20,310 during the 1974 period. Industry analysts noted performance, while off considerably from 1974, was its second-best for the period in 15 years, trailing only last record. Ford Vice President Bennett Bidwell said it was continuation of the upturn we have been In early September last year, consumers rushed to new-car showrooms to beat average $450 price increases for 1975 models. The 1976 models carry price tags $200 to $250 higher than comparable 1975 models.

Analysts contend the boosts have not been high enough to bring about a similar consumer reaction. And, the sticker price increases often will not reflect the full price rise. Much equipment which had been standard is now offered only as options, trimming the base price. Analysts credited increased tempo in the U.S. market during early September to the decision to sell 1976 models before their official introduction.

That decision was prompted by a shortage of 1975 models. Ford began producing 1976-model cars after GM and only began selling new models this week. The sales were not reflected in the Sept. 1-10 figures. Chrysler, which just began turning out the new models, does not introduce them until next month.

AMC, which also began preselling 1976 models, said 54 per cent of its sales were new models. Harden Denies Gambling Count Robert L.

Revenue-Sharing Renewal Still Up In Air NGTON (AP) Congress unlikely to act this year on i to extend the revenue- irogram, which expires at the xt year.

State and local offi- urged the early action so can plan their budgets, county officials and citing budget-preparation are pressing for a ve decision this year on sharing. Moon Landrieu, tic mayor of New Orleans dent of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, describes the program as best thing since ice A House Government Operations subcommittee, headed by L. H. Fountain, plans to begin hearings next week on President April 25 call for renewing the multibillion-dollar program.

Congressional sources say they are not looking for a push to get a bill out this year since the law does not expire until next year. There is substantial opposition in Congress to continuing the program in its present form, the sources say. Some of the complaints about the present program have come from civil rights groups, who contend minority problems have been shortchanged, the sources said. A spokesman for the mayors conference said, still think that we have a shot at it this year. We admit it is a long In mid-summer, the mayors conference said its surveys showed that they were 50 votes short of the number needed to pass a renewal bill in the House.

The initial $30 billion 1972 law is due to expire Dec. 31, 1976. Ford, terming the program resounding recommended continuing it until Oct. 1,1962, so that the federal government can distribute $39.85 billion more to state and local governments. The money can be spent virtually any way state and local governments choose to.

Some mayors argued this summer that needier cities should get a bigger proportion, but the mayors conference voted to back the present distribution formula for fear of breaking up the coalition with governors, county officials and the administration and thus endangering chances for renewing the program at all. Some key disputes involve the revenue-sharing formula, which distributes money to thousands of organized governmental units large and small. Congress is expected to focus extensively on this. While there are several suggestions for change, sources say no congressional consensus has emerged and this is certain to be a major subject at hearings and in committee deliberations. In sending his proposal to Capitol Hill, Ford said, planning at the state capitols, city halls and county courthouses will require action in this first session of the 94th However, congressional sources contend considerable legislative time has been consumed during this year in the energy policy disputes between Ford and Congress.

They say this makes passage of the revenue-sharing bill this year unlikely..
