sailing schooners has been written by Nova Scotia artist Fiftyfive years after the leg endary Hluenose sli ped down the ways at the Smit and Rhu land shi yard at Lunenburg NS an as the craftsmen who built her pass from the scene the intricate plans for the ship are finally on paper Bluenose II the last of the tall schooners is portfolio of scale drawings comprising the only complete and accurate record of the construction and rigging of schooners particu lar Bluenosc ii an exterior copy of the ori inai which is on the face of the lanadiandime To marine artist Cmdr Jenson who painstakingly measured the vessel from how to stem and labored over the drawings for five years the work constitutes personal lan dmark As far as my work in life as human being is concerned its the thin lm personally most proud he said For this reasonit hasnt been done be fore Sure others could do bet ter but the point is no one has at the moment The 52 scale drawings and 117 diagramatic sketches presen ted on 34 plates which trace the configuration of the schooner from the keel and depict man facets of ishing life in the ays of the schooners are packaged in an appropriate seamamsized book it measures 22 42 inches weighs 7v and comes rolled in uc plastic wrapper with selfsealing ribbon Don Oland Halifax businsss man and member of the Oland brewing family which commis sioned the construction of Blue nose ll says the project was conceived in response to the nu inerous requests he received for Bluenose modelling lans when his family onerat the vessel She has since been given to the people of Nova Scotia and serves as tourist attraction The initial plan was to docu merit only the plans used to build Bluenose ii In 1970 Mr Oland got Cmdr Jenson involved in the project when the retired naval off car was recommended to him as the best artist for the job The Alberta native had life ion interest in sailing vessels an had joined the navy at 17 to live under sail Mr Olands enthusiasm for the finished productwhich he reluctantly admits cost about $40000 but adds that it is hard to put firm price on work of artHgoes beyond the physical fact of the drawings He real izes that they have created historical record which would not have otherwise existed The oldtimers are dying off and were preserving all this he says This is real Canadians No archive or marine mu seum or shipyard could tell you these things about schooners When Cmdr Jenson under took the assignment he as sumed there would be no short age of detailed material on sail ing ships He found drawings of the Bluenose II at Halifax ship yards and at the Lunenburg yard but when he matched his own measurements to the drawings he found they didnt match The length was wrong the beam was wrong the sheer was wrong and he went to see John Rhuland the shipwright who had built the original rac ing schooner lost many years ago on Caribbean reef and her copy He found that both vessels had been built with wooden halfhull model and good eye Little more than the rigging plans had been put to pa He had the halfhul model used for the Bluenose II which was left over from the first Bluenose and this was really the only record of her shape The Bluenose ll was built ex actly on the half hull This think was very inter esting because lot of people were inclined to turn their noses up at the Bluenose II and say Oh no she really isnt like the Bluenose The halfhull was the equiva lent of book of blueprints to the Lunenburg craftsmen CLIMBED OVER HULL Over one winter while Blue nose 11 was undergoing refit in Lunenburg Cmdr Jenson and 1is wife climbed over the ic hull tape measure in him recording each minute detail Republicans shoot first in presidential campaign By BRUCE LEVETT WASHINGTON tCPi

therefore ordered his trumpeter swans to read the news both for and wi that his domain would be the host forest for all of the animals of the world that wished to other to demonstrate their ath etic pro wess and compete for top honors as representatives of the various forests of the world The animals were enthused with the idea They came from far and near each vying with the other in the hope of carry ing off the floral medals that the best athletes competing mi ht win ere were group of kan aroos from Australia ran to take on all and sundry in gunplng events Then came African elephants who were favored to win in the weightlifting contests From another part of the forest one could see group of rabbits practising the hop skip and jump Excitement reigned su reme as the forest began to ill with animals from all over the world Unfortunately there always seems to be fly in the oint moat just when everything ap pearstobe oin atitabest The troub started when humble tiny little pussycat decided to enter the spitting event body knows that Now eve cat can opt better than any other animal alive and thus the pussycat entering this event came as no surprise What was problem was the fact that this was Siamese pussycat You got search warrant When it entered the Olympic compound it declared itself to be an entrant from the land of Siam You might think that this was normal thing for this cat to do it being Siamese cat Unfortunately the country that was once known as Siam changed its name to ThilandAs result the King of the forest informed the pussycat that it would be improper for it to enter in the olympics as Siamese cat What was the cat to do It had been born Siamese cut it niwa felt itself Siamese cat hen it looked in nunvnnun CITY AND DEVELOPERIN JOINT PROJECT Will corner of Portage and Main be Winnipegs Place Ville Marie By STEVE KERSTETTER WINNIPEG CPlThe tail and stately buildings nearby make the southwest corner of Winnipegs most famous inter section all the more unsightly Wrecking crews have re moved all but two of the old buildings in the block at For tage Avenue and Main Street and makeshift parking lot covers the site of one of the citys largest and most cons troversial projects Just how the corner will look five years from now is anyones guess Under an agreement with the Trizec corp Ltd of Montreal the city has com mitment to commercial develo ment as nebulous as the prover ial pig in poke Whether the project becomes $100million crowning touch to downtown development or sim ply the latest of series of un remarkable new buildings is decision that city council has passed on to one of North Americas largest development corporations City councillor Norman Sta pon said he sees the proposed commercial centre as Winni pegs counterpart to projects such as Place Ville Marie in downtown Montreal SEEN AS SHOWPIECE The type of development that is proposed would be an ex cellent showpiece for the city he said Trizec is responsible for some major landmarks right across Canada Fellowcouncillor Joseph Zu ken is one of the projects most outspoken opponents think the Trizec deal is go ing to haunt the city for many years to come he said The deal is loaded one in the sense that it gives too much in the way of concessions from the public purse to the private de veloper The 1974 agreement between the city and Trizecs Manitoba subsidiary calls for the city to provide underground parking acilities covering most of the block and to lease the air rights above the garage to the devel Plans for mcar garage were ved by city council in June vote of 25 to 17 More than $25 million of the es timated land acquisition costs of $4 million had already been spent by the city and the total cost of the garage may be 825 million Some critics say the parking facilities are the only part of the project that will not show prof it RENTAL FEE FROZEN The 99year lease of air rights is to begin two years after the parking structure is completed and the annual rental fee will be frozen at an estimated $175 000 year for the first 40 years Both the rental of air rights and Trizecs contribution to the cost of additional footings and supports in the garage to carry the weight of buildings over head were based on annual in terest calculations of seven per cent The assumption was valid in the early stages of negotiations but even councillors who sup rt Trizec now say the interest igures should have been re iated to the current prime rate The largest concession to Tri zec was the citys willingness to accept the companys good in tentions on little more than faith Early in 1974 Trizec officials presented conceptual plan to the council that included two 34 storey office towers de rt ment store 220room tel and an impressively land Scarred enclosed winter gar en The agreement with the city approved just hours after the Trizec presentation commits the company to build only 300 000 square feet of rentable spaceor fraction of the con ceptual plan The timin and nature any additional ing will rest with the developer alone Trizec officials maintain the project makes sense only if the property is fully developed but the have repeatedly refused to ma any legal commitment to building beyond the minimum space required in the agree ment We have to build the entire project to make return on our investment over the long run James Soden Trizecs chair man and chief executive of ficer told the citys executive policy committee earlier this year Theres no way we are going to spend the kind of money we have and build only 300000 square fee Ths dominant feeling at city hall seems to be to ac this reasoning and hope that ull de velopment comes sooner rather than later ESTIMATES OUTDATED Councillors approved draft agreement with Trizec in 1972 and formal lease two years later after only limited debate Only the barest estimates of revenue the project would bring the city in the form of property and business taxes were ever prepared by city ad ministrators and the latest are several years out of date The project has been beset by other problems travel agent with lease in one of the buildings marked for demolition held out for more than year of negotiations and court actiom before agreeing to THE PICK OF PUNCH vacate the premises in an outof court settlement Another court action was launched by Winnipeg resi dent who complained that the city had failed to prepare an en vironmental impact statement on the pro ect as required by the City Winnipeg Act The suit was dropped only after the city agreed to prepare statement REPORT REJECTED An inquiry officer appointed by the provincial government described the citys ex propriation proceedings as dangerous precedent In effect he said in his report the city was acquiring land from one set of private owners and devei oping it for the benefit of oth ers The report was quickly re jected by city council Finally critics of the project said the additional parking space would add to downtown rushhour traffic and en coura people to drive instead of ing use of the citys bus services Despite these problems and the growing misgivings of number of city councillors council has committed the city to roceed with the rage that wiII set the overa pro ect in motion At meetin une councillors authori the call in of tendersforthegarage only substantive ques tions remainin are whether the finished pro ect will square with Trizecs uni plan andwhethertheexperiencewill lead to any significant change in the attitude of the city to ward private developers in gen eral DOUBTS LESSON LEARNED Mr Zuken said he doubts council has leamed its lesson fromlrizecandthatitisnl ready apparent that the trend toward accommodating devel operawill continue Mr Stapon said it is unlik ely that the city will embark on similar venture with another developer because past ts should provide suggfgt stimulation for private in vestment in the downtown area Athirdview wasofferedina Winnipeg Tribune editorial which linked the project to what it called the late19803 scare abouttbe future of the citys downtown business area the mirror it saw that it was Siamese cat Ihecat pooled to the olym lc officins for help The of icials com of an owl fox and mouse debated the robiem long into the night inhlly the owl who was the spokesman for the group declared that the Siamese cat could call itself feline and fly the lyimpic banner instead of theSlameseflag Everyone thought this was great idea except the Siamese cut it having somewhat stubr bornstrenk No yeowed the cat am Siamese cat and demand the right to fly the Siamese flag But replied the Kin of the forest in rather dandif ed look ing tiger with somewhat mean streak everyone knows that there is no Siam and therefore you cant be Siamese cat Thus the debate raged witl animals taking sides one way or the other Before long tht great olympic spectacle fell in to chaos and the wrangling and argument over the who rep resents what can still be heard tothis day iNflEBPBETIN THE NEWS Telling the Italians Whom to leave out llOlHUltltlE NDON Cl Once again West German Chan ccllor llelmut Schmidt has caused an uproar with remarks that most European leaders agree were at least naive and certainly clumsy The row follows his comment in Washington that West Ger many Britain France and the United States had agreed to give no aid in italy if Comniu nlsts arc included in the new ltalinn government His remarks came in an off therrecord background brief ing but as he rnlght have ex pected they soon were made

it was not party to any such agreement claims Schmidt to have been formu nicd at recent bigcountry economic summit meeting in lucrlo ltlco In Paris President liacnrd dEstuing rebuked Schmidt with whom he had previous dif fercnccs over what the French term Schmidts interfering ways in Brussels leaders of some of the smaller European om mon Market countries rgucd that the controversy provided further ammunition for the abolition of summit meetings at which they are not rcprcmentod The Americans hedged and the itaiians had to admit that they were discussed in Pucrto Rico behind their backs Meanwhile there was growing feeling that the crnbar rassment caused was not so much due to the substance of what was said but the fact that it was said This theory is that norrtIom munist governments are en titled to state their political references when approached or economic aid but that pub lic expressions of such opinions can only do harm All this invites the question Why did Schmidt do it Critics suggest that he was openly electioneering and that Newfoundlanders took their time By BOB BOWMAN It took Newfoundlanders long time to make their min ds to join Canada rious con sideration be an in 1860 and Newfoundlan sent delegates to the Quebec conference in 1864 The delegates reported favor ably but the decision was de layed until 1869 when the Con federation Party made poor showing in general election Newfoundland was relatively prosperous at the time There was another serious at tempt to join Canada in 1894 when Newfoundland suffered from depression owing to bank failure This time Canada rejected the proposal Another epression in the 1m caused Newfoundland to lose its status as the oldest Brit ish Dominion and Britain ap pointed commission to be the government This continued un til the Second World War ended and Newfoundland was in much better shape economically Britain arranged national convention in 1946 in which delegates voted for the future form of government The issue
