however very few homes in the area have the traditional and unique French architecture of low sloping roofs and long veran das As well some French social activities have lagg ed and dwindled Sometimes however chan son repondre singsongs are held The reason for the decline is twofold The major reason being the lack of French education traditionally taught in the area he said Most parents of children in school today received no formal education in French said DAoust In 1913 Regulation 17 forbade the use of French in schools DAousts father who went to school in Perkinsfield had no education in French As result it is difficult for him to read in French said DAoust The basis for long term maintenance of the culture education has long been lacking he said It was painstakingly dif ficult for

alcohol tolerance levels Constable William Vanstone testified he spoke to Lloyd at the accident scene and he smelled alcohol on Lloyds breath He said the smell was also ap parent when he saw Lloyd at

Trial resumes today with testimony from two defence witnesses before summations from John Madden crown at torney and John Wrigley defence lawyer giving financial ast=tnce to disaster areas was best left at the local level because councils there would have more control and could give what they felt was needed Coun McLean said whether the county dealt with the re quests out of relief fund or whether the municipalities did the same individually the ef fect would be the same When you get down to it budgeting at the county level is not any different from the local When you come to the end
