CHILDREN FIND
Pleas of poverty
can’t change will

QUEBEC (CP) — Despite

eas of poverty from their

wyer, the three children uf
a late Muntreal millionaire
lost in a bid Tuesday to get
more money oul of their
. father's estate.

Members uf the national.
assembly’s juslice com-
mittee threw vul a private
bill which would have
changed the lerms of a will
written by J. Donat
Langelier, a wealthy
Montreal furniture mer-
chant who died in 1964,

Oppusing the hill were
three charitable
organizations who were also
beneficiaries of the will.
They said the assembly, in
effect, was being asked to
write “a new will” which
would nut reflect the intent of
Langelier and could rapidly
drain the estate,

Under terms of the will,
Langelier left his two
daughters $600 a month each
for life and his sun Maurice
half that amount. The
balance vf (he revenue from
the §2-million estate goes to
the three charities and
another group of relatives.

The three charities—a
home for the handicapped, a
residence four women in
distress and a fund for the
teaching of French outside
Quebec—have received
abuut $700,000 su far from the
estate.

Lawyer Charles Tremblay
said the three children, nuw
in their fifties and sixties,
were living in “black
misery"’ and thal without an

increase in their allowances,
“they would die In poverty.”

He cited lhe case of 58-
yearold Maurice who moved
tu the West Cuast because. vf
aheart condition, which has
left him incapacitated.

Vancouver and he shares

this slum with anuther man

because he cannot afford to

pay for it himself,” the
wyer said.

The bill propvsed that the
monthly allowance for each
of the three be fixed at $1,650.

“Either charity is dune to
these children or to
strangers,’ Tremblay said
in reference io the three
charitable organizations.
| Lawyer Pierre Viau,
representing the heme for
the handicaped, noted thal
une daughter; Francoise,
had received an exira
$400,000 un the death of her
father and had spent all of it.

Andre Paquette, lawyer
for the two other charitles,
said the three organizations
had only received the
$700,000 in 1978, 12 years
after Langelier’s death, and
only afier numerous re-
quests fur an accounting
frum the estate.

In addition, the three
children had been paid
salaries by the companies
belonging to the estate in the
interim and the amounts had
never been revealed,

Attempts had been made
uver the last wu years lo
settle the estate unce and for
all but to no avail, Paquette
added.

ean still benefit frum the

pregram,
Under the Outreach

program, the guvernment

enters intu agreements with
cummunitybased agencies to
improve the employment
chances of target grou
with special difficulties
competing in the labor
market.

Bruadbent questioned

Members of the com-
mittee, buth from the up-
position and the government,
said it would be incurrect fur
the legislature to intervene
and take sides in the conflict,

~ which could end up in court.
‘He lives in a basement in.

Jugiice Minister Mare-
Andre Bedard complained
that the prupused bill did not
even take intu account the
late marchant’s intent to
give his sun Maurice half the
allowance granted his twu
daughters.

Cullen abut a government
directive stating “projects
which have been developed
lo serve wumen are nu
longer included as target

wups under the current
policy guidelines.”

He wppused the order
because it comes “‘al a time
when the real level of
unemployment of women in
Canada is 16,7 per cenl,
much higher than the
unemployment raie for

”

men.
Brvadbent uses figures he

says include the su-called
hidden unemployed, such as
persons wh have given up
lovking for work in regions
where there are no job
vacancies.

- ” Statistics Canada says that
the unemployment rate for
women 25 and over rose in
August to 7.9 per cent from
7.7 per cent while fur men in
that age group it stayed al
5.5 per cent. For women
aaed 156 lo 2 the rate
remained steady at 14.1 per
cent and for men 15 to 24 it
drupped to 14.7 from 15 per

Cettillen told Breadbent that
it did not seem necessary at
this time to treat women as
an Outreach target group
because “we have many
uther programs in place thal
can help women."

DAILY HERALD

There are affirmative
acliun prugrams, aimed at
convincing employers tv hire
more women lo compensate
for hiring none or few in the
past, in addition lo a variely
of jub-creation and training
programs in which women
are singled vul as special
largets,

Another report said youth
were algo to be eliminated as
an Outreach larget group, a
move which Cullen said
“wouldn’t surprise me.”

Asked if he muve was re-
lated to spending cuts which
hit the Outreach program,
Cullen said vutside the
Commons “It would have
happened even if we hadn't
made the cuts.”

Bruadbent alse pressed
Cullen to reverse a recent
directive ordering regional:
employment department
officials to stop revealing
lucally-calculated unem-
ployment slalislics because
they do not jive with official
Statistics Canada figures
and cause the government
embarrassment,

But Cullen said no, arguing , .

the local figures are for
internal use by the depart-
ment and that to interpret
them as unemployment
figures is “incurrect and
inappropriate,"
