"It wouldn't have worked in this case," OTTAWA (SNS) -Those on-again, off-again energy negotiations between Alberta and Ottawa appear to ba on again. The two governments are cautiously exploring the oil policy issues which so enraged Alberta early this month that it broke off energy ta'ks with Ottawa. Federal Energy Minister Donald Macdonald and Inter-governmantal Affairs Minister Don Getty of Alberta held a cordial, two-hour chat on energy in Calgary Monday. Further discussions are expected to take plac2 Friday in Toronto, where the federal-provincial resource ministers meeting will provide a suitable cover for private negotiating.

The thaw in relations began last week when Macdonald appeared before the Commons committee on miscellaneous estimates, and urged oil-producing provinces chiefly Alberta and Saskatchewan to create marketing boards and increase their take from oil production. Premier Peter Lougheed of Alberta responded by confirming that his province will establish a marketing board to buy and then re-sell pro-, duction from its oil leases. jsni; i in inn i "inti Tiimn i i in i miiinii linn i nUiH fi i a nwrnii i "it "i -ti -mrmwimi nw nrrii -ui i 1 ft U.S., Russian observers to join ceasefire feam (30 gbx xmm mm msi rSX Vi 7 7. iTnTJi (Gazette News Services) are known to be in Egypt in apparent response to President Anwar Sadat's appeal last month for U.S. and Soviet troops to assure Israeli compliance with the ceasefire.

DRIVEN OFF LAND 'Young farmers are being driven off the land and when they leave prices will go up even more because there will be less produce. "You know, I have four close neighbors who have farms and when they die, that will be it for three farms," said Desjardins. "Their sons just don't want to spend their lives for something they see gives little in return," he said. "When I'm gone that'll be it. I've got two sons but neither one will keep my place going." said Fernand LaBelle, who sells eggs from his farm at St.

Paul de Joliette. He gets 61 cents a dozen for eggs that sell for 80, cents in stores. Why should they stay? he asks. They work 365 days a year on the farm from" 5 a.m. until seven or eight p.m.

By the hour their wages are embarrassing. "I understand my boys. Why should I make them do that? It doesn't pay."

"First of all it's almost impossible to get a good deal on a loan to buy a place. If you go to the provincial credit office for agriculture they charge 2Vij per cent interest on the first and seven, eight, nine per cent on anything over that. Well even a small place runs around $60,000 so the rates just kill you." He's not confident that even his union can do anything to improve the farmer's lot. "The problem is lack of coordination. For instance natural milk in Quebec is controlled by Ottawa while industrial milk and products such as cheese are run by the province.

The farmer is in the middle and he is never the winner." That's why he supported Parti Quebecois policy he said. As far as he's concerned that's the answer for the farmer." Co-ordination under one government in Quebec. "It's not right that such a small percentage of the profit should go to the farmer while three or four intermediaries become rich off our labor," said Jean-Marie Boulard, a farmer from Lac St. Jean. "We are powerless to intervene.

The federal government sets our prices for some things and the province for others, but in the stores there are no limits. That's where the prices should be fixed." Last year more than 7,000 dairy farmers went out cf business in Quebec. At the same time milk production has decreased by 10 per cent. A minimum of 40.000 milk producers remain. Dagenais says his union has the answer in the form of a nationally organized board to control price increases.

Before a price can be increased by either farmer or distributor the board must hear the case and decide if the reasons are adequate. "Then the consumer will know what is going on and at the same time the prices will not be fixed, but rather guided." Baie Comeau sunny periods 20 E.

But observers said that it left Ulster's largest party deeply split and indicated that nearly half of Northern Ireland's one million Protestants are opposed to sharing power with the 500,000 Catholics. Meanwhile, four bomb explosions in the centre of Londonderry and two gun attacks on British troops raised fears of an upsurge ia Irish Republican Army violence. The bombs went off within minutes of each other, damaging a bus station and two stores.

Police were warned of tha bombs in advance and there were no injuries. Earlier, gunmen in Catholic areas opened fire on two British army patrols. The first ambush occurred in the Catholic Creggan Estate in Londonderry. Two' soldiers were wounded. The second ambush took place on the outskirts of Dungannon, and there were no injuries.

A bomb wrecked the post office in the County Tyrone village of Clogher Monday night. Earlier a warning had been phoned to a local Catholic priest and there were no injuries. BELFAST (Reuter) -Representatives of Northern Ireland's main Protestant party supported the policy of their leader, Brian Faulkner, and voted yesterday to share political power with Ulster's Roman Catholic minority. Faulkner, a relative moderate, received the support of the Unionist party council by a margin of 10 votes. One of his main opponents in the council, John Laird, told reporters: "It is undoubtedly a moral victory for us." The slender margin gained by Faulkner technically gives him go-ahead from his party to join in the British (Continued from Page 1) on what form the Community Employment Program would take, saying he hoped to have a plan drawn up within the next month but that nothing would be made public until January.
