--_ Se Re os a -- Pilgrims Endorse Claims About Shrines Atmosphere STE. ANNE-DE-BEAUPRE, Que. (CP)--"Beaupre enjoys a heavenly atmosphere hardly pa- ralleled by any on earth." Regular pilgrims to this fam- ous Roman Catholic shrine, where miracle cures have been recorded for 304 years, ferven- tly endorse this claim by the Redemptorist Fathers who care for it. The basilica, or palace, of Ste. Anne of the Beautiful Meadow, set solidly between the St, Law- rence River and the old Lau- rentian Mountains, is for them a place of rare serenity. | Rey. Eugene Lefebvre, direc-/ tor of pilgrimages, mentioned in an interviw a Detroit man who has been coming here for 30 years and stays a little longer each time. "They find some explanation for their problems, their mis- eries, here at Ste, Anne," says Father Lefebvre, The crippled, the diseased, the spiritually sick come look- ing for solace. Among them are the curious, trying to dis- cover what brought the others. "If they look for commercial- fsm, they'll find it," says Fa- ther Lefebvre, discussing the problem that has dogged every holy place from Jerusalem to Lourdes. Nothing is sold on church- owned grounds here and the mention of money is carefully avoided, though the basilica has been built on revenue gathered from visitors' donations. It has been under construc- tion since 1922, when iire de- stroyed the fifth church. The first was built in 1660, In its quiet fight to fend off the less-heavenly atmosphere of the town, the church recently bought a street 400 feet from the basilica that had been over- run with vendors of religious articles and souvenirs. But Father Lefebvre says the church would have to buy the 1700, records show 41,000 visit- ors came to Ste. Anne to pray at the sailor's church, Anne of Austria prayed for a son, and the great Louis XIV of France was born. In grati- tude she sent a chasuble, a vestment worn by the priest, to Ste. Anne-de-Beaupre. Made of silk, gold and silver, it is among the souvenirs on display. Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville, the great French adventurer, left a solid silver altar crucifix in 1706, Gen. Wolfe's English fleet passed Ste. Anne quietly on a night in 1759 en route to Quebec City, 20 miles southwest, where he conquered the garrison and with it French Canada. Sixteen years later, American raiders led by Gen. Montgom- ery burned the surrounding farms but left the church stand- ing. 4 which both the government and Quebec's bishops and cardi- nals all have been close to Ste. Anne. Bishop Laval, whose dio- cese at the time comprised much of settled North America, wrote in 1680 an addition to the description of a cure of a French soldier at Ste. Anne: "All this is sincerely true, and we have made of the facts so careful an examination, that M for French participation in Ca- nadian projects, THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdoy, July 25, 1962 37 New Ambassador OTTAWA (CP)--In his first 2% months as French ambas- Bousquet says he has found many economic and industrial projects and developments that are likely to interest financiers and industrialists in France. So far, most.of them are in Quebec where the provincial government is setting up a general investment fund, to private investors would contrib- ute, and where there is a great deal of talk about the establish- ment of a steel industry com- plex, Mr. Bousquet said the proj- ects have raised so much inter- est in France that a special industrial mission headed by Wilfrid -Baumgartner, former French finance minister, is due to visit Quebec next October. Mr. Bousquet, who came to Ottawa from the post of French ambassador to Brussels, often called the capital of the Euro- pean Common Market, is a specialist in economic affairs who is lending a sympathetic and co-operative ear to feelers Referring to the development of a steel complex in Quebec, Mr. .Bousquet said negotiations for French participation al- ready are under way. A report on marketing possi- bilities, now being prepared by the Quebec bureau of statistics, is to be sent to the French steel industry research institute. He said that if the Quebec government commits itself to buying a large part of its steel requirements from the local in- dustry and that figures show a may be highly interested in in- vesting in it. Mr. Bousquet also is interested in buying Quebec. To make this possible, the provincial government would have to amend laws, adopted years ago, requiring that Quebec pulpwood be pro- cessed in the province. they may be made known to the whole world." Negotiations also are under way in connectio nwith the es- Finding Projects tablishment of an assembly plant by a French automobile manufacturer, The ambassador did mot say where the plant would be set up, but indicated the plan depends on easier marketing opportunities in the United States in exchange for the purchase of spare parts there. EXCHANGE PROFESSORS During his first visit in Que- bec City last May, Mr. Bousquet made two proposals to Premier Jean Lesage and members of his cabinet for scientific and cultural exchanges. He suggested that 10 young) university professors be invited) from France to teach a year at the University of Montreal and Laval University in Quebec. | Cost of the program would be} split 50-50 between the French| and Quebec governments, The idea behind the program) is that it is easier for young) professors to take a year off to) teach abroad than it is for) visiting professors. Mr. Bousquet also proposed! reciprocity in a program where-} by the French government pays) $50,000 a year to bring young) Canadian engineers to study} French engineering techniques. The French would like to send} their engineers to study road-| building and water purification) techniques in Canada.

Many visit the old church, which was the shrine itself for 200 years until 1876, and sip from the fountain before it, whose waters are said to have miraculous powers. Others admire the beauty of the marbles and art work in the! basilica, which is 200 feet wide) and 375 feet long. And many) get caught up in the history of; the place. i Almost every important fig- ure to explore North America passed Ste. Anne, and many stopped here.
