NDP open patronage trough VICTORIA - After weeks of uncertainty in high places, the New Democratic government, from deputy minister to lowly stenographer, replaced the entire Pacific National Exhibition board. Only one appointment, the promotion of associate deputy finance minister Mike Costello to the position of deputy minister, seemed free of political taint. Deputy finance minister Doug Horswell was fired. Costello was deputy finance minister under the Saskatchewan NDP government, and has been with B.C's finance ministry since 1966. Bob Williams, a powerful minister in the las. NDP government in B.C. under premier Dave Barrett 16 years ago, was named secretary to the cabinet committee on crown corporations, with the rank of deputy minister, and a salary of over $107,000. Williams is CEO of VanCity Credit Union. The government also paid out $1.8-million in severance pay to 67 political appointments by the Socreds. Government put on defensive OTTAWA - Faces of hungry and homeless children are haunting this land of relative plenty and providing thee budget-conscious Canadian government with a sensitive political issue: Social service groups formed a coalition earlier this month to press the government into action exactly two years after a unanimous resolution by all political parties to seek to end child poverty by the end of this decade. The Mulroney government says it has plans to introduce measures eady next year to better provide for the one million - or one in six - impoverished Canadian children Opposition parties, however, accuse the Conservatives of delaying action so that it will coincide with the next federal election, expected in 1993- Free trade still on track TORONTO - United States commerce secretary, Robert Mosbacher, said last week the U.S. wants to reach a three-way free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico as soon as possible. Speculation has grown recendy that U.S. economic troubles and next year's presidential election will stall an agreement until at least 1993. "The president of the United states has told me that he wants to proceed with the historic North American free trade agreement as quickly and expeditiously as possible," Mosbacher told a business luncheon here.

Auditor-general Denis Desautels has told a parliamentary committee that controls over immigrant entrepreneurs are unenforceable. About 200,000 people a year arrive in Canada as immigrants and the country gives preferential entry to experienced business people. Last year, about 12,000 immigrants were accepted as entrepreneurs, 2,000 as self-employed, and 4,000 as investors. Canada's immigration department says it has stepped up efforts to remove illegal immigrants but is hampered by outdated legislation. Sports fiddle while economy bums NEW YORK - Recession" What recession? As Wall Street blue chipper IBM lays off 20,000 workers and Main Street retailers slash prices to coax in buyers, one U.S. industry is experiencing galloping inflation - sports. The New York Mets' signing of outfielder Bobby Bonilla for $29-million over five years made him not only baseball's highest paid player but tops in team sports, a new superlative in the recent explosion of sports salaries. Bonilla, 28, still trails heavyweight boxers like Evander Hoiyfield and Mike Tyson, whose injury-aborted world-tide fight was to generate some $100-miUk>n - although how much would actually have wound up in the fighters' hands would be known only to them, the promoters and a lot of lawyers. But Bonilla vaulted past the New York Knkks' center Patrick Ewing, 29, who only 10 days earlier put a new ceiling on the "team sports* pay class when he agreed to a contract extension that will earn him $33-million over the next six years.

Arrangements were made for ongoing maintenance, at no cost to the township, to ensure optimum appearance. Cost of production and instalMon was approximately $500,000 per organization and of course Langley Municipality for their designation. During the last meeting of the committee we were informed by a representative of Langley Municipality Development that new guidelines for signage had been developed and our design did not comply.

DECEMBER 24, 1991 OTTAWA - Canadian farmland values fell in 1991 following two consecutive annual increases. Farm Credit Corporation research .shows that farmland values decreased by 6.7 percent between July 1, 1990 and July 1, 1991 compared to 3.9 percent increase in 1989-90. Farmland values dropped in the Prairies and Nova Scotia and remained stable or increased slightly in all Awards for local plant SURREY -. Three lower mainland manufacturers were honoured at the recent provincial annual meeting of the Western Wood Truss Association. Cloverdale Truss Co. and Valley Truss Ltd., both of Surrey, and Hejo Industries Ltd. of Abbotsford, each received an award for "Excellent Quality Truss Production", three of only eight such awards given out province-wide. The , awards reflect the results of independent plant quality audits conducted by Warnock Hersey, and recognize firms that have shown excellent quality control in the manufacture of wood trusses. Independent quality audits are mandatory for all WWTA members. The audits involve unannounced inspection of the plant, equipment and production. Truss quality can vary greatly with the skill and experience of the workers, the grade of lumber used, and the care taken in assembly and handling," says WWTA executive officer Dick Vandenberg. "Since roof trusses are so vitally important to the structural integrity of most buildings, our association several years ago established a self- regulating program to ensure that our members were manufacturing to a high standard. When buying from a WWTA member, a builder or consumer can be assured that the plant's production has been randomly inspected to maintain a high standard of quality." The WWTA represents more than half of the wood roof truss production in the province. other provinces. Farmland values have declined nationally in eight of the past ten years. The largest decrease was in 1986-87 at 10.2 percent. Land values in Canada have dropped 35 percent since the most recent peak in 1981, despite increases in 1989 and 1990. Low market incomes and a general negative oudook in much of die farm sector appear to have reduced the demand for farmland. In British Columbia, farmland values across the province increased, however the most significant increase was in the Fraser River Valley due to competition from Urban areas for good land.

It's been refreshing to read another point of view on the case of Christine Lamont, one of two Canadians imprisoned for the kidnapping of a Brazilian businessman two years ago. Ihe Sun's Trevor Lautens has expressed the opinion that the media has too eagerly taken up a crusade to have, the former Langley resident freed, without pausing to analyze whether or not she is as innocent as she and her family say she is. Mr. Lautens is not alone in wondering, if she and her boyfriend, David Spencer are innocent, why were they in possession of forged travel documents? How is it that they can rent a house in their name and not be aware that thek guests are holding a man in the basement' This and other questions in the case have been bothering many of those here who have taken an interest. The suggestion that Brazil is a third world banana republic doesn't really stand up, especially when you consider that all of those who were arrested, charged and convicted in the case were taken without injury, and as far as we know, are still living. Corrupt regimes usually dont bother taking prisoners, they simply go in with all cannons blazing. They also don't concern themselves with legally constituted trials, and a series of appeals. All things considered, Lamont appears to have been treated not much different than she would have in Canada, except for the hefty 28 year sentences given to her and Spencer. Compare that with the tap on the wrist given to the gang that kidnapped Jimmy Pattison's daughter and callously put her young children in jeopardy. Here in Canada, we prefer to hire a battery of psychiatrists and social workers to tell our criminals that they've got the right attitude, just the wrong idea. Our government also spent countless thousands of dollars frying to stop extradition of convicted serial killer Charles Ng, a man proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, to the U.S., where the government wanted to light up his life with a few spare amps of hydro power. Some people believe that makes us a superior and caring nation, but that's only a subjective opinion. But ifs no wonder that k's hard to know what to expect from our government in these international cases. In Lament's case they've taken a wait and see approach, pending the outcome of ongoing appeal processes. The Brazilian government has provided the Canadian government with complete transcripts of the trial, and it's a lengthy document Ottawa has passed along a copy to the Lamont family, but evidendy no one has taken the time and expense of translating it from Portuguese to English. Until that's done, and k's examined by legal experts, no one here has the right to claim that the trial was fixed. We can only presume it was a fair trial. In any case, one certainly can't accuse the Brazilians of not being forthcoming with us. Naturally, the lawyers hired to defend Lamont and Spencer will look for flaws in the trial and other grounds for appeal. That's their job and it wont come cheap. All other complaints against the trial process appear to be second hand and basically, worthless. But Mr. Lautens is correct that it's easy to fell into the trap of imposing our standards on the Brazilians, and that ifs no more than cultural imperialism A Langley township councilor, Aubrey Searie jumped on the bandwagon and proposed that die municipality petition the federal government for Lament's release. Does he know something about her case that the rest of us dont? Unless he does, ifs just grandstanding, because this is the same council that can't bring itself to get an immediate court: injunction against a would-be developer who refuses to let anyone clear a plugged drainage ditch in Aldergrove's residential core until council agrees to let him subdivide into under-size lots and build 20 foot wide roads. Politicians do love to t Ik, don't they? I wish much luck and success to Dr. and Mrs. Keith Lamont in their campaign to have their daughter returned to Canada. They're a fine, compassionate and upstanding couple in this community. I just wish, someone could tell me why I should feel the same about the couple doing hard time in a Sao Paulo prison.

The judgment handed- down in June 1990, three years later after tons of legal paper, witnesses, history and so on, and, oh yes, millions of dollars, rejected the plaintiffs' claim to aboriginal tide.

If they are perceived that way, it is not the way they are intended. I , believe Trudi's figures of Aldergrove having 15% of the population base and 12% of the revenue base of The Township of Langley refers to the urbanized area of Aldeigrove. The area we are talking about has not been finalized yet and will not be until we have feedback from the general population but from the response so far, it is a much bigger area than just the downtown core. Secondly, Development Cost Charges are imposed on a developer when they develop land. That money is never spent (»i the actual development The developer includes, in their project, all costs of storm, sewer, street lights, roods, etc. Development cost charges are to pay fbr a developer's share of existing and planned sendees, so to say that "If these costs were reduced for developers, then every one would have to contribute to support their new development" is misleading. Over the years there has been much unrest and grumbling about the Municipal Government. Some of k is justified, some of it is not. We are researching the whole issue objectively and constructively.

DECEMBER 24, 1991 Fair-mindedness shown by Mulroney Prison official answers Editor, The Star, Sk, This is a letter of thanks from the Reform Party to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He showed the true Christmas spirit when he defended Reform Party leader, Preston Manning from the slurs of Liberal MP Sheila Copps. Ms.Copps made headlines when she compared Manning to American politician David Duke, the racist gubernatorial candidate and Ku Klux Man member. In a press interview December 12, Mulroney was defending himself against accusations that he had used the famous 'fuddle-duddle' swearword in the .House of Commons. When told that Copps had accused him of using foul language, Mulroney said: "Well, look, you're talking about a bunch of Liberals. They never said a word when she massacred falsely, Preston Manning's reputation. David duke is a racist and a member of the Ku Klux Klan and an anti-semke, and she said that Preston Manning was David Duke ... the equivalent of David Duke. He is no such thing. He is just a political opponent. Just a political opponent. She fabricated that one against Preston Manning." He closed die interview by saying: "I'd be interested to see when she is going to rise on the floor and apologize to Preston Manning." Again, our thanks to the prime minister for his fair-minded defense of the mainspring of this country's political future, the leader of Canada's non-racist Reform Party, Preston Manning. GLEN BEAUCHAMP, Pies., Fraser Valley West Constituency Association, Clearbrook :...,., Editor, The Star, Sk, Following is a copy of a letter to Mr.Rick Flumridge, of Aldergrove: Dear Mr. Flumridge, I apologize for the lateness of my response. I have attempted to reply to as many questionnaires as possible, but the volume has been considerable. I have included for your information responses to the issues raised to date. In response to your questions: Day passes are not a matter of common occurrence in secure custody facilities. Although there is a branch policy to allow for "temporary absence" "any application made from secure custody centers must be very carefully considered and subject to dose supervision". A number of criteria are considered but the first consideration is that of "safety to the public". "If there is a likelihood that the youth may commit an offense or poses a danger to the public, the youth shall not be granted a TA1, but normally, the first step ... would be a court authorized transfer to open custody, not a temporary absence". The "optimal opportunity for positive interaction with thek respective communities', is a statement of belief that the communities have a great deal of potential in imparting youth in a positive way. This impact is in the form of contracted services to the youth in die center, the volunteers that come in and Interact with the youth and also the potential for community sports teams to come in and pursue structured recreational activities with the youth. Ihe focus is the community coming in and interacting inside the center, not the youth going into the community. In order to facilitate this the center needs to be relatively close to the community. The "labor-intensive programs" are opportunities for youths to help ..pay back* for some of thek misdeeds. Such activities can include repairing broken and vandalized munidpal signs, minor maintenance projects that usually wait until municipal workers can fit them into thek busy schedules. Secure youth facilities have also worked with the Orphan Wildlife League and Dudes Unlimited, in caring for injured birds and animals introducing them back to the wilds. Now, these may or may not work in the community, but I want to reflect what is potentially available to assist in "returning something bade to the community*. I appreciate the feet that the local newspapers are answering some of the questions as well. The Star reporter and I have talked often about issues that present themselves and it is good to know that the responses are getting wide drculation. Please be assured that all the decisions have not been made and I am grateful that you took the time to write us.

DECEMBER 24. 1991 Exhibitors challenge American retailers ABBOTSFORD - "We can and will compete with anyone south of the line on prices of hunting and fishing gear," stated Roger Dornan, owner of Hub Sports in Abbotsfoid. Hub, and many other Canadian retailers and manufacturers of outdoor equipment, welcome enthusiasts willing to check prices and make deals with the convenience of one-stop shopping at the first- ever Fraser Valley Boat and Sportsmen's Show next spring. Dornan notes that wholesale prices in Canada on outdoor equipment have come down considerably making the products more attractive to buy at the retail level here at home. Hub Sports' multi-product booth at the show, which takes place March 5-8 at the new Tradex facility near the Abbotsfoid Airport, will feature fishing, hunting and archery displays. Show organizers are trumpeting the "Shop in B.C." campaign explaining that when cross-border shoppers take into consideration the exchange on the American dollar and having to pay GST upon returning to Canada, buying Stateside makes little sense. In addition to Hub- Sports, other major retailers signed for the Boat and Sportsmen's Show include Edward's Marine, • Ridge Marine, Western Canoeing, Lyned Honda, The Selective Angler, Bitz Custom Boats and Fred's Custom Tackle. The timing of the Fraser Valley Boat and Sportsmen's Show is ideal since many outdoor enthusiasts look for new gear in anticipation of the new season. The market in the Valley has changed dramatically in recent years. Traditionally hunting and fishing were male dominated activities but are now. being adopted by women and entire families," said Dornan "Fishing especially has become a family activity and is no longer just for the avid sportsman" Hie Fraser Valley is noted for great fishing, hunting and outdoor activities. Some 15,000 outdoor enthusiasts will visit the four-day show which focuses on fishing, hunting, camping, boating and recreational displays. True North Paddle moulding new future ABBOTSFORD - True North Paddle and Necky Kayaks Ltd. is developing a new line of rotationally moulded plastic boats primarily for export to a growing recreational paddling market. Necky will receive a $237,000 repayable contribution from Western Economic Diversification Canada to help with the cost of developing, manufacturing and marketing the new line of plastic kayaks. Fraser Valley East MP Ross Belsher made the funding announcement on behalf of Western Economic Diversification Minister Charles Mayer. The new product line will be made of rotationally moulded plastic and will include a solo sea kayak, two models of tandems, and two models Of play boats. Neckar successfully designed, produced and test marketed the first of the new plastic line, the Kayook, which has been very well received by the industry. He and a local engineering consultant also designed- and built the automated rotational moulding equipment necessary to manufacture the new boats. The: production capacity of the' rotational moulding machine will be doubled with WD's help, "A rotational moulder is essentially a big convection oven," says Neckar. "Plastic beads are put inside a hollow mould that is heated and rolled so that the liquid plastic coats the inside. These boats are very strong and are less expensive than our fibreglass models, which appeals to beginneis and recreational users." 1111 Clash of the titans...

The vital ingredient in this potent brew is marijuana. Phnom Penh's bustling markets sell the dried herb, still on the stalk, at $1 for a kilo. ' Stall holders display the marijuana dangling above sacks of dried sago and preserved eggs and among strings of garlic and chilies. Cambodians use the herb to spice up a Chinese-style chicken . noodle soup. "Some restaurants use k in soups - just a little - because it makes the soup more delicious and it's addictive," a stall holder at Central Market said.

DECEMBER 24, 1991 SBMRSm Dental health of seniors neglected VANCOUVER - They suffer painful inflammatory disorders of the mouth, have rampant cavities and their bad breath causes embarrassment tb the point where they withdraw' and become deeply depressed. They are Canada's senior citizens, confined to long-term care facilities, whose dental health is being neglected, recent studies by a team of UBC researchers conclude. "These seniors are only getting help when they say they need it, and ifs usually an emergency situation by then," said Dr. Michael MacEntee, a professor of Clincial Dental Sciences in the Faculty of Dentistry and principal investigator of the studies. "There are more tooth decay and coal hygiene problems due to neglect in persons living in long-term care facilities," he added. A major focus for the studies was the availability of dentists in almost half of Vancouver's 92 long-term care facilities. "We found that they do not have an environment for dentists to work in, except for emergencies," MacEntee said. "Access to preventive oral health services is a real problem in these places," About 10 percent of Canadians are over 65 years of age and estimates indicate that the percentage will double over the next 20 years. Over 90 percent of the nation's elderly live independently, either alone or with others. MacEntee interviewed over a thousand elderly people for the studies, which were conducted between 1985 and 1990.. Paticipants Included seniors 65 years of age and over, in hail health, and living in long-term care facilities, and seniors 70 years of age and over, in relatively good health and living independently. About one-third of the total number of those studies wore complete dentures. The remaining two-thirds had some natural teeth and a denture. Each person was examined for cavities and denture problems. He said that preventive treatment with fluoride, which strengthens teeth, could help diminish the rate of cavities in the elderly/ The recurrent problem for seniors with dentures was a Have a real Hippy Holiday! loose fit, the studies showed. "Shrinkage or loss of jaw bone, a common occurrence in the elderly, results in loose or floating dentures," MacEntee explained. "As patients age or become infirm, they also experience trouble controlling thek dentures. It's a big problem especially with the lower denture." Another high risk group includes seniors who take multiple medications. MacEntee said that medications affect the saliva's ability to act as a buffer against the pressure and irritation of a denture and against the acids that produce tooth decay. He believes that patient education, enhanced awareness of oral health issues among health care professionals, and greater access to dentists would help combat neglect of dental problems in the elderly. Pensioners will get more in January OTTAWA - Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement and Spouse's Allowance benefits will go up in January, the Honourable Benoit Bouchard, Minister of National Health and Welfare announced last week Effective January 1992, the maximum Old Age Security pension will be increased to $374.07 monthly from the present $373.32. The maximum monthly supplement (GIS) for single, low- income pensioners will go up to $444.54 from $443.65. The maximum for low-income married people will rise to $289-55 from $288.97 for each spouse. The maximum Spouse's Allowance — paid to needy people between 60 and 64 who are married to GIS recipients — will increase to $663.62 from $662.29. The maximum Widowed Spouse's Allowance will rise to $732.64 a month from $731.17. All of these benefits are lull indexed every three months based on increases in the Consumer Price; Index, Statistics Canada's cost-of-living measure. ByMAUDIEMcPHERSQN ' By the time this paper goes to press, imagine the crowds pushing and shoving to get the best deals possible on Boxing Day. Perhaps some seniors prefer to avoid the hassle while others cant resist a bargain. Nice to see the shortest day of the year gone by and from now on the days witt craqe again gradually get longer and longer. The spirit of Christmas was evident at the OAP hall on Tuesday, Dec. 17. The hall glittered with beautiful decorations and the ladies dressed in pretty Christmas outfits made a festive scene. A delicious dinner was served. The Choral Group sang their Christmas program followed by carol singing along with a guitarist who led the audience in a sing-along. Finally the evening ended in a half hour of dancing and everyone went home with a feeling of Christmas in the air. President Charlie Delves would like to thank all those who helped make the Christmas dinner such a success. Carpet bowing on Thursday had a small crowd. The blood dona- dink took several of the regular bowlers. Two carpets were used and it was a good afternoon of fun. No bowling for the next two Thursdays, ...

ALL SEASON RADIALS from $39.oo i/*^ OTTAWA - Family Allowances, paid to some 3.7 million Canadian families on behalf of 6.8 million children, will increase in the new year. The Honourable Benoit Bouchard, Minister of National Health and Welfare, announced last week that effective January, 1992, the fedeal government's Family Allowances, paid monthly for children under age 18, will rise to $34.88 from $3393 in most provinces and in the territories. The adjustment is based on increases in the Consumer Price Index, Statistic Canada's cost-of- living measure, in excess of three percent. Under a provision in .the COMICS PRESENTED BY Family Allowances Act, a provincial government may ask the federal government vo vary the rates payable in that province according co the age or number of children in a family, or both, providing that the average monthly payment in that province equals the federal rate. This option has been chosen by Alberta and Quebec. The refundable Child Tax Credit for the 1991 taxation year will provide up to $585 per child based on family incomeAlso, parents who qualify can claim an additonal $207 on their return for each child age six and under for whom no child care expenses were claimed.

"This country, and this province, are on the verge of a tax revolt, and we- dont need more regulations, another layer of government, and more taxes," said Dr. Gur Singh. The commission's recommendation to establish regional health care with regional budgets will put too much of a burden on taxpayers, he added, saying it will create different standards of care. Another recommendation, which would cap . doctors' incomes, means more .rationing of services to patients, said Singh. "If doctors are to be penalized for caring" for the ill, then the waiting lists will get even longer than they are now, and patients who need care will simply not get it in time." The commission's wish to abolish medical premiums doesn't offer concrete solutions on where the money will come from either, said Singh. "We suspect that federal transfer payments, as well as B.C's premiums, have .been used for other things, other than health care," said Singh. "When federal transfer pay__e__s are poured into general revenue who knows what they are used for? "The report is really a document about economics," Singh said, "not a means of realistically ' improving health 'tat&i';-":;; '''■'". ■ - -•■■ "We should not lose sight of the fact that experts, from other countries wish they had a system like ours. The Royal Commission readily agrees with this, and yet they spent nearly two years and $4 million to come up with 400 recommendations to change it "We do agree that nurse midwive. should be brought into medicare, wortdng with physicians in a hospital setting,* he said. "But we also think that this added service should not pile on extra costs, and so We would like to see the numbers." Singh said the BCMA also supports school lunches, bike helmets and stricter drinking and driving laws. The BCMA committee that is reviewing the report in detail will announce its findings to the Minister of Health and the public.

DECEMBER 24. 1991 Beetles may help desert bloom COPENHAGEN - A humble beetle has shown two inventors how to make the arid desert bloom. Stuart Clyens, an English civil engineer, and Russian industrial designer Boris, Berlin, have devised a machine which harnesses the desert's daytime sun and night-time mist to collect water for plants. The growing plants will lower the temperature and attract rain, reversing the desert's remorseless spread. Now a Danish bank has given Clyens and Berlin $77,000 «o bring their plan to fruition. If it works, their water collector could help bring plant life back to the desert and slow the rise in temperatures around the world. "la some desert area, the only moisture is mist,'* Clyens said. "We've tried to use this mist in the same way as a little beetle in the Namibian desert" The Namibian Fog-basking Beetle (Onymacris unguicularis), stands on its head on the cold desert dunes early in the morning. Mist condenses on its back legs and runs down its body into its mouth,._ Clyens "The same principle has been, used many times before. The Bible tells how Gideon collected water this way, by leaving goatskins on the ground overnight to catch the condensing morning mist* Similarly, pilots downed in the desert in World War II used their parachutes to gather life-saving water. Known affectionately as the "water beetle", the water collector Clyens and Berlin have put together consists of a cylinder on Cleaner air seen by the year 2000 BURNABY - A new air quality management bylaw aimed at helping to reduce air pollution by 50 percent in this region by the year 2000 is being prepared by the Greater Vancouver Regional District and will be submitted to the GVRD board for consideration in Feburary 1992. Ihe GVRD is increasing the monitoring and regulation of air polluters within the region, and a new system of emission fees is being designed to pay for regional air quality initiatives and programs. Fees under the new bylaw will be based on the volume and toxicity of pollution a source emits. The intention is to provide an incentive to industry and motor vehicle users to reduce their pollution output. Fees will be apportioned fairly between regulated commercial and industrial sources and mobile sources of pollution such as cars and trades. In the future, the new bylaw will be the foundation for regulating a broader range of air pollution sources. Ihe refuelling emissions from gas stations will be among the first newly regulated sources. As part of its Creating Our Future initiative for a more healthy and livable region, the GVRD has pledged to reduce the toal emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides, particulates, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds in the region by SO percent by the year 2000. Global warming 'nonsense' BALTIMORE - If Sir Frank Whittle is as prescient about the environment as he was about airplanes, the world may soon discover that global warming is "a lot of nonsense - a lot of silly nonsense." Whittle, 84, of Columbia, Md., and Hans von Ohain, 79, of Ohio, are the 1991 winners pf the National Academy of Engineering's $375,000 Charles Stark Draper prize for their independent invention of the jet aircraft engine. The academy announced the award, the world's most prestigious and richest engineering prize, last month. Whittle "has done more than anyone else in this century to shrink the world and bring people together," one of his nominators told the academy. Winning the Draper award is especially sweet, Whittle says, because 51 years ago the National Academy of Sciences told him his invention "could hardly be applicable to airplanes." Since then, Whittle has turned his attention to global warming - or, more accurately, to debunking the theory of global warming. According to tte Jheoiy, carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels . may irrevocably warm the planet by trapping heat in the atmosphere. . "I wish it were true," Whittle says with a gleam "Unfortunately it's not Scotland would be a marvellous place. Canada, Great Britain, and Siberia would be much more habitable." He says that instead of a surplus of carbon dioxide, the planet - may suffer a severe shortage in the distant future. But no one will pay any more attention to an 84-year-old engineer's rejection of global warming theories than British civil scientists did to a junior RAF officer's jet propulsion ideas in 1929, Whittle says. top of three hollow legs, with a brush hanging from the cylinder and a wax ball below the brush. The TopDanmark prize won by the two inventors will enable them to build a foil-size collector and test it in the Namibian desert. The machine will stand about nine feet high and should collect 1.3 to 2.2 gallons of water a day. "We estimate they will post about 70 pounds sterling ($40) a unit if mass produced, and would need to be spaced about 30 to 40 meters apart," Clyens said. Other ways of collecting moisture and making the deserts fertile - as parts of the Sahara were before the last; Ice Age ended some 10,000 years ago have been tried unsuccessfully before. Tyrannosaurus Rex dethroned By ADRIAN BERRY LONDON - Bones have been discovered revealing die existence eight million years ago of the biggest flesh-eating animal to walk the Earth - a creature that outgrew even the largest dinosaur. Scientists have found on the banks of the Amazon river in South America the skull of an alligator that would have been some two-and-a-half metres tall and around 12 metres long: . d "It lived on rodents that were themselves the size of cattle," says Prof. Carl Frailey of Kansas. "Judging by the length of the skull, which was one-and-a-half yards, we estimate its weight as about 12 tons. "This would make it about a ton heavier than Tyrannosaurus Rex, 'the king tyrant lizard' and the mightiest of dinosaur predators, which lived 60 million years earlier." Frailey added that this giant animal preyed on birds, turtles and giant rodents that were similar to guinea pigs. But all these latter animals were the size of modem-day cows. Humans did not appear on Earth until about three million years ago. When a local retailer asked his customers some questions Ihrough a written questionnaire, they received genuine suggestions from those customers. Legacy Furniture, a maker and retailer of custom built oak furniture, asked the following question to the customers: What could we do to Improve Legacy Furniture? The customers overwhelmingly replied with the suggestion to put up a better sign. The president of the company, Tom Falk, listened to these suggestions and put up a brand new sign on October 3. But he never expected to receive Instant benefits. This however did happen. As one of their salespersons describes It, "The day after the sign went up, our sales almost doubled, so did our walk In traffic. This has not stopped fbr two weeks." Falk, said that an increase in business this time of year is normal, but he admits that he never expected such a dramatic increase in sales. Goes to show, that listening to the customer can really pay off. Shareholders earn dividends VANCOUVER - B.C Hyrdo's interim report for the first six months of the current fiscal-year shows net income of $45 million — only $2 million higher than for the same period a year ago. The report attributes the slight improvement primarily to "a large reduction in finance charges" which declined by $11 million because of more favorable exchange and interest rates. Overall, Hydro says financial results for the reporting period "provide more cause for concern than for satisfaction." Operating income before finance charges for the period ended September 30, 1991 declined by $3 million from die same period last year. ■ The report notes that electricity trade income declined by 26 percent "despite higher electricity trade volumes, which were insufficient to offset lower pikes and higher energy costs". In addition, "transmission revenues from large industrial customers were down...because of reduced activity in the pulp and paper sector as well as mine closures and strikes". The report says increased expenses were incurred by Hydro in living up to the energy efficiency initiatives and the environmental service reliability objectives expected by its customers but cautions that "operating revenues must keep pace with these rising costs*. First half revenues of $850 million were up by $24 million or 2.9 percent A rate Increase of 1.5 percent effective April 1,1991 contributed $13 million of this amount Total expenses increased by $16 million to $822 mi_ion. During the period under review, electricity trade income totalled $17 million — $6 million less than for the first six months of the previous fiscal year "despite a 36 percent increase in trade volumes". Revenues in the residential and general sectors increased by four percent,, mainly due to cold weather and customer growth. , The report /.rnotes? the significant impact on sales volumes in the transmission revenue category because of "economic slowdown*'.

And parents faced with sneezing, coughing kids want to know how to make their child more comfortable and when to seek professional help. B.C's Children's Hospital infectious disease expert Dr. David Scheifele has seen hundreds of kids with colds and answered as many questions from concerned parents. Here are his answers to some common questions about kids and odds. Do kids get mote colds than adults? Kids get many more colds than adults. The reason is lack of immunity. Our bodies must encounter infectious organisms before developing immunity. Adults have been exposed to many more cold and flu viruses than children and have built up more resistance. How do we catch colds? We catch cold by inhaling droplets from sneezes and coughs or by coming in contact with nose or mouth secretions on hands or shared items. Kids are especially vulnerable in Call and winter because they spend more time indoors and in dose contact with other children. Typically, the youngest child in large families or kids attending large day care or nursery schools get the most colds. How can I protect my child from colds? Not much, short of isolating them from other kids — which is neither practical nor advisable. Although effective against childhood infections such as measles and mumps, vaccines are not an option for colds because too many viruses are involved. My child seems to have one cold after another. When will It stop? With over 100 viruses causing the problem, ifs not unusual foe children to have as many as eight or ten odds a year! The good news is that even very young Infants become immune to the viruses they have had so, Over time, kids do get fewer colds. Do children who get a lot of colds have weak immune systems? No. Children with frequent colds that do not produce symptoms beyond mild sniffles and a stuffed-up nose are successfully fighting off viruses and developing immunity. This indicates a healthy immune system Even when viruses get the upper hand, causing more serious chest colds and flu, it does not mean the system is Ming. Ifs simply facing a tougher battle so recovery will take longer. Do small babies have a HovmmmcMTC m cost of who? r"' m more difficult time with Golds? Babies under 3 months do have more difficulty with colds because they don't cope well: with a stuffed-up nose. Babies may seem to fight for breath when in fact they are simply trying to breath through a blocked nose. This also causes feeding difficulties. The result is an irritable, hungry baby who lets everyone, in the home know just how miserable he or she is feeling. How can 1 help my child get better? You can assist your child's (or baby's) recovery by giving plenty of fluids and keeping them soothed and quiet, at least in the eady stages of illness. Used as directed by your family doctor, acetaminophen medications (such as Tylenol, Tempra or Panadol) can help to reduce aches and fever. DO NOT USE ASPIRIN (acetylsalicylic acid) or any medication containing It Aspirin has been linked to brain and liver damage (Reye syndrome) in children and teenagers. Should I use other over-the- counter cold medications? Numerous cough syrups, nose drops and other cold medications are available but many are ineffective or unsuitable for children. For instance, decongestants taken by mouth are not Very effective in children and can cause rapid hearbeat and insomnia. Before using any over-the-counter medications, check with your family doctor or a pharmacist. When a medication is recommended or prescribed, use it only as directed. Should my child see a doctor? If a cold is accompanied by persistent or serious breathing trouble, high fever, poor appetite or vomiting, your child should see a doctor immediately. These symptoms could indicate a more serious bacterial complication, such as ear infection ot pneumonia, which require treatment with antibiotics. Meningitis is also a possiblity, especially in children under 18 months, How long before my child is well enough to go back to school? In most cases kids are completely recovered in 5-7 days; bad odds can take a few days longer. But children rarely need more than a day or two at home. As soon as fever and discomfort are over and they feel well enough to take part in normal activity, they can go back to school or daycare. Coughing is the most stubborn symptom, frequently lingering a week or two after all other symptoms disappear. While annoying, such coughs are not contagious and are no reason to stop a child from resuming daily activities. Dr. David Scheifele is an infectious disease specialist with B.C's Children's Hospital and a professor of pediatrics with the University of British Columbia. He also directs Children's Vaccine Evaluation Centre, which assesses the safety and effectiveness of children's vaccines.

DECEMBER 2«V 1M1 Make it a green Christmas BURNABY - Christmas is an ideal time to introduce your family and friends to the idea of environmentally friendly gift- giving. The choices you make can significantly reduce the amount of waste your household produces during the holiday season. By choosing to make gifts from recyclable materials or wrapping gifts in recycled paper you will not only feel good about your gift choices, but you'll send a message to those who might yet need a bit of convincing that they can make a difference to our environment through their own efforts at reducing waste. Lots of gifts can be made from recyclable materials around your home — fabric, paper and a bit of glue and old lace can turn the most ordinary object into a grandparent's treasure. How about a calendar that features photos of your family on vacation pasted onto colorful paper, or you could fill up old jars with candy or nuts and decorate the lids with buttons and lace. The naturalists on your list would enjoy a homemade bird feeder with' seed or a holiday wreath made from your garden greenery. Or if you are short on time, give a subscription to a gardening, wildlife or environmental publication — something printed on recyclable paper of course! If you have some talent at the sewing machine, cut up discard clothing to sew cloth shopping bags, or homemade handkerchiefs or dinner napkins. If your talents lie in the kitchen, try making baked treats and reusing tins or baskets to present them in. You could write up your favourite recipes on recycled paper, some of the stock available around town comes in striking colours and impressive textures. Fbr the practical person on your list you could go for a travel mug so they don't buy their morning coffee in a disposable cup every day. Or how about some compact fluorescent light bulbs which will help them save on their electric bill? Then there's the reusable lunch bag in great neon colours. The ultimate gift of all is your time — make up coupons for babysitting, car washing, ironing or dog walking and give them to a busy friend or relative who needs some time to relax. The Greater Vancouver' Regional District offers an instructional video called 'Here's the Dirt - A Guide to Home Composting'. You could sign it out on loan for a friend who likes to learn, and then offer to take the time to bring it back for them. Dont forget that coloured comics make great recycled wrapping paper. Or you can cover boxes with fabric or paper scraps to make a gift box that can be reused for years. Or small gifts can be wrapped in tea towels or a scarf to add an extra gift. Consider going green when it comes to your Christmas tree. Buy a live potted tree you can. plant in your yard after Christmas. Decorate your tree with popcorn, cranberries, paper chains, sea-hells, cinnamon sticks, or ornaments made from cloth scraps. Christmas gift shopping can be a frustrating, expensive, unfulfilling activity. Take some time to think about how you can make this an environmentally friendly and less wasteful holiday season, for yourself and your family, and you might just start to enjoy this time of year in a whole new way. Christmas can mean an upset LANGLEY - Christmas, when most people spend time with family and enjoy the many festivities of the season, can also be an upseting time for many. The hustle and bustle of shopping malls, the clatter of constant advertising and the increased financial demands to name a few, can create an overwhelming sense of anxiety and depression in people who are already under pressure in their lives. Society's expectation that Christmas is a happy time is difficult for those who are experiencing these pressures. Many people find Christmas a trying and lonely time and recognizing that they are not the only ones who feel this way, can be helpful. The most important thing to remember is that the depression will lessen and those feelings will pass. Keeping active and being with other people are two ways to help. To assist friends or family who might be under this kind of stress during the holiday season, we each might take a look at what we can do to help. Sometimes a few minutes just to listen and offer support can provide the relief the person needs. A smile, an invitation for coffee or to join in with activities you have planned may also be helpful. Suggesting that the person volunteer to help at a Senior's Centre, school or church can constructively get them through this period of time.. Christmas can be a difficult time but it can also be a time of sharing and caring. Hugs are wonderful gifts. From the board and staff at Langley Memorial Hospital, may you have a healthy and happy holiday season! ■ ' ■# P», Kathy Herrett weds Don Fraser ALDERGROVE - St. Dunstan's Anglican Church was the setting for the June 29, 1991 nuptials of Donald Nelson, son of Emery and Helen Fraser and Kathryn Elizabeth, daughter of Terry and Susan Henett, all of Aldergrove.

Going underground OTTAWA - Strange as it seems, Canada is building a space observation center two miles down in the earth in an abandoned mine near Sudbury, Ont. The observatory will study the neutrino, a unique particle emitted by die sun and other stars. Low natural radioactivity is a must for neutrinos study and the underground location provides this. The location is no hindrance to die neutrinos. The particles pass through matter - even two miles of rock - unscathed. The observatory hopes to determine whether neutrinos have mass or are just pure energy. Among other things, knowing more about neutrinos wE help answer questions about how our universe was formed.

"We have already taken the first giant step to fulfilling a two-year commitment to the B.C. tree firuit industry to offset the financial hardships growers -■ have experienced over the past decade," he said. "Regarding supply management, comments by several federal cabinet ministers lead me to believe that the situation facing GATT Article XI is serious,* said the minister. "None of the exemptions sought by British Columbia and Canada for supply management under the provisions of GATT Article XI are included in the., Canadian position. Bailee acknowledged that the agriculture industry is under pressure to change due to both international and domestic forces. But he called upon the industry to work with government to find new ways to preserve the traditional values of rural communities. The minister promised to fight for B.C's fair share of agricultural development funding from Ottawa, and to ensure that federal programs were suited to the complexity of B.C. agriculture. "British Columbians dont realize the true value of agriculture to the B.C. economy," said Barlee. "Unlike many of our major industries, 100 cents out of every agriculture dollar stays in B.C to generate economic activity and jobs, and improve the quality of life for all of us."

Compost the leaves BURNABY - Instead of cursing all those dead leaves lying on your lawn, littering your garden path and blocking your eaves, take advantge of the opportunity to compost them this year. Leaves are a valuable natural resource for gardeners preparing their flower beds for winter or laying the foundation for next year's mature compost. Composting is an efficient way to reduce yard and kitchen wastes that comprise one third of our residential garbage. Good quality compost depends on a balance of carbon and nitrogen- rich materials to be able to fertilize well. Leaves are a good . source of carbon and materials - such as grass clippings, plant trimmings, and vegetable and fruit peelings cany lots of nitrogen. If you are unable to add all of your leaves to your compost, bag them for spring composting or use them for mulch. Run your lawiimower over the leaves to reduce the volume and promote decomposition. Leaf mulch . is ideal for protecting plants during winter months, especially shallow rooted shrubs such as rhododendrons and camellias. But be warned — slugs also survive under the leaf covering so avoid mulching around seedlings. Leaf cover prevents drainage so be sure to rake up the dead leaves from your lawn to prevent the grass becoming diseased due to the trapped moisture. Also remove the leaves from rockeries and around the ground near alpine plants that depend on good drainage. Call your local municipal or city hall and enquire about local leaf composting programs. To learn more about do-it-yourself composting - call the Greater Vancouver Regional District at 436-6800 to request a free copy of Here's The Dirt, a guide to home composting.

The other product will be beauty coil, Which is sold to salons for use in protecting customers skin from the effects of perms and dyes.

"With our own plant here in B.C., we can offer the product at a lower cost arid provide better service to buyers in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The company will receive a repayable contribution of $65,000 from the federal Department of Western Economic Diversification to build up inventory and start marketing its products to retailers and distributors.

DECEMBER 24, 1891 Decision said critical to B.C. ji VICTORIA - Federal and provincial governments must maintain international pressure tp protect 7the . ability of Canadians and British Columbians to feed ouiselves says Agriculture; Fisheries and Food Minister Bill Barlee. The minister led a delegation of agriculture industry stakeholders which has just returned from Geneva, Switzerland where the current round of negotiations on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) are winding up. COSTS ) C »f»0H_.. If l\_ ** "We all recognize the formidable international pressure being aligned to replace the terms of GATT Article XI with the tatiffication option," said the minister. "This is unaccceptable to British Columbia. We need this rule strengthened." GATT Article XI safeguards the right of nations to manage the supply and marketing of agricultural commodities within their own borders. Current negotiations threaten to replace Article XI with tariffication, a system which would turn all current import quotas on agricultural products into tariffs, and would be designed to decrease and disappear over time. "Tariffication would eventually leave Canadian agriculture to compete direcdy with nations whose levels of taxation, input costs and quality control for food production are far below Canada's," said Barlee. "Under those circumstances, much of B.C. agri-business could not compete. The ability of Canada as a whole, and this province in particular, to feed itself, sustain rural communities and maintain the Agricultural Land Reserve would be drastically reduced." "GATT Director-General Arthur Dunkel tabled a report on December 20 which gave a preliminary indication of the future of Article XI," Barlee said. "The Canadian negotiators in Geneva were most receptive to our suggestions and concerns. Moreover, we were able to establish excellent co-operative relations with such nations as Japan and South Korea who share our determination to strengthen Article XI." The minister complimented the agriculture industry representatives who cteimprised the trade delegation for their- hard work and excellent presentations in Geneva. "The personal contacts which were made during this trip by both government and industry, spokespersons will serve British Columbia in good stead as international discussions proceed," Bailee said. "I will continue to urge the federal negotiators, my ministerial colleagues in other Canadian provinces and all agriculture industry stakeholders to utilize the profile and contacts we gained in Geneva to keep up the pressure to strengthen GATT Article XI." "Neither Canadians nor British Columbians wish to become any more dependent on imported food supplies," said the minister. "We must work together to retain the productive capacity of our foodlands."

A growing number of neurologists now are confident that schizophrenia, which affects as many as 2.5 million Americans, is caused by congenital abnormalities in the areas of the brain that control thought and, perception. But it has not been dear whether those abnormalities were inherited or caused by something in the environment. The new evidence gives strong support to the latter possibility, indicating that the disorder is at least partially triggered by a problem in the fetal environment in the womb, such as a lack of oxygen or a viral exposure. Nevertheless,, many researchers believe that there is a genetic susceptibility to the disorder. Arkansas neurologist Stefan Bracha studied the hands of 24 pairs of identical twins in which tally one of the twins suffered from schizophrenia. That oily one member of each set of genetically identical twins was schizophrenic is itself strong evidence that a genetic defect was not the primary cause of the disorder in these cases. Bracha reported that «ach of the schizophrenic twins had a number of small deformities in their hands, while the unaffected twins did not. Hands are formed during the second trimester, at the same time that crucial brain connections are being formed. The discovery of hand abnormalities indicates that the affected twin suffered some type of trauma, such as a viral infection, and that trauma is likely to have affected the twin's brain as well, Bracha said. He believes the results may have strong implications for prenatal care. While physicians stress -the importance of abstaining from alcohol and medication throughout pregnancy, they usually emphasize the first trimester, Bracha said. "Now we know that the second trimester is at least as important as the first, because that's when the brain of your child develops." Schizophrenia afflicts about one percent of the population. It is characterized by inappropriate emotions, hallucinations and disordered thought processes that cause difficulty in communication, interpersonal relationships and distinguishing between the real and the imagined. It is commonly confused With split or multiple personalities. II mmymmmrm M JL STOCKHOLM - Sweden dreamed of providing the world's best health care, through a state-run system equally available to rich and poor and free from profit motives. For decades its public health service, employing. 95 percent of the country's doctors, fulfilled that dream and was the envy of many countries. Then came the problems - dedining productivity, long waiting lists and a sense of alienation among patients who lamented the demise of the old-fashioned family doctor. 7'' "The situation has deteriorated in recent years, partly due to the centrally planned structure of the service,* ording to health minister., uvberg. The centre-dght government which replaced the long-ruling Social Democrats in October of this year is proposing a path between the extremes of the U.S. private system and an all-state system The government will continue to pay for health care through one of the highest tax. burdens in the wodd, but encourage competition between hospitals and allow profit-making private institutions in an effort to increase productivity and freedom of choice. "The right to decent health care regardless of the size of your wallet is one of the most important things in society. That principle is etched in stone," said Konberg. "But we must break with the confused socialist view that everything which is publicly financed must also be produced by the public sector," he added. Sweden spent almost nine percent of its Gross Domestic Product on medical care in 1990, slightly, more than most other industrialized countries but much less than the 12 percent of GDP gobbled up by the private U.S. system. Sweden has no desire to emulate the United States, Konberg said. Canadian health insurance badly in need of surgery LOS ANGELES - Quietly, tentatively, an unpleasant thought is creeping into public discourse in Canada: user fees for health care. For years, Canadians have been going to the doctor without so much as feeling for their wallets. Medical care has been universal and free since 1971 and has become the most popular social welfare measure in the land. A recent poll indicated that 86 percent of. Canadians are happy with the treatment they get from their doctors and hospitals. Canadians look on universal coverage as one of the things that makes them distinct from - and superior to - their dominant southern neighbor. People in Canada are proud of a system that costs less than the American one as a percentage of national wealth and that covers a far bigger share of the population Ordinarily, no Canadian politician would dare tampering with the health insurance regime. But now, the national plan that Canadians love so deady - and that Americans increasingly eye with envy - is showing signs of strain Per capita spending on health rose by about 10 percent a year from 1980 to 1987; Canada's inflation rate, in contrast, has been about 6.3 percent. Cost pressures may be lower than in the United states but they are still higher than in Europe. The Canadian government now spends Close to $55-billion annuatty on health care, and the money is getting harder to find. As a result, policy analysts and even a few bold politicians are taking hard lodes at Canadian health insurance and recommending major surgery. No one in Canada is talking about throwing out the universal health insurance system altogether; far from it. The problems have not yet reached the crisis point But ever more voices are calling for cost-cutting measures and new sources of funds - and even user fees. ; Canada's federal health minister, Benoit Bouchard, has said he will not let doctors charge user fees. Still, a recent survey found that a majority of Canadians would in fact accede to the logic of paying for health care, if the choices were higher taxes or reduced services. As things now stand, Canada does not have "government-run health care" or "socialized medicine", as free-marketeering detractors south of the border daim. On the contrary, a greater proportion of doctors in Canada work in private, fee-for-services practices than do thek counterparts in the United States, since Canada has no such Innovations as health maintenance organizations, where doctors work on a salary. . What is government-run. in Canada is health insurance. There are 10 public insurers, one for each of die provinces. The provinces are free to run their insurance programs as they please, as long as the coverage meets certain federal standards. The problem for Canada today is that this streamlined system was put in place in the high-growth 1960s, a time when governments could afford to lavish public funds on health care without paying much attention to what they were buying. That era is long over, but the mindset lives on. _________.^________________________________B___r^^^^_______^^H _______________! __««_<__*** ^8 T______k"*.' v^J^" -''"^H^ \\\\\Wammmm\\ ^ ' "^ ____H-_-ttl!-tt-ii& is____F-< .

A 39-year-old man froze to death -December 21,1990. A 26-year-old woman dies of exposure - December 26,1990- In each of these incidents, the victims' got stock in a ditch, and when they tried to go for help, they were overcome by extreme add. the temperature was approximately minus 34C. And you dont need to walk very far - one of the victims was found only 1.6 km from bis car. Winter travel by automobile can be serious business - so don't make the mistake of thinking it cant happen to you. Be prepared. You might consider member-hip in the Canadian Automobile Association. If you do a lot of winter driving in isolated regions, you might also consider having a Citizens Band radio. Emergency Preparedness Canada, the federal department responsible for advancing civil preparedness for emergencies of all types, has some good advice on how you and your car can be prepared for winter storms, which are among thee more than 60 types of emergencies that can and do happen here. HEEDTHE.WAHNINGS Local weather offices of the federal Atmospheric Environment Service issue warnings of winter weather conditions for blizzards, heavy snow, freezing rain or drizzle, cold waves and winds.

The cause of blizzard conditions, drifting, reduced visibility and wind chill effects. Weather offices issue warnings when a wind chill (rate of cooling) of 2,000 watts per square metre is expected.

Keep your radio tuned to a local station for weather advice. TRAVEL KIT WINTER CHECKLIST For country driving put a winter storm kit in the trunk of your car. Even fbr city driving you should have some of these items with you: •Shovd • Ice scraper and brush •Road maps • Sand (or kitty litter which is lighter than sand and doesn't freeze) •First aid kit •Tow chain • Matches in a waterproof container •Flashlight •Knife • Warning light or road flares • Candle In deep can (to warm hands, heat a drink, or to use as an emergency light) • Extra winter clothing and footwear • Methyl hydrate (for fuel line and windshidd de-icing) • Emergency food pack • Axe or hatchet < IF YOU DO GET TRAPPED Dont panic. Avoid over-exertion and exposure. Shoveling and bitter cold can kill. Stay in your car, and you won't get lost and you'll have shelter. Keep fresh air in your car. Open a window on the side sheltered from the wind. Run your motor sparingly. Beware of exhaust fumes; ensure the exhaust pipe is .v not blocked by snow. (Remember. You capt smell carbon monoxide fumes!) Set out warning lights and flares. Put on the dome light Over use of headlights may drain your battery. Exercise your limbs, hands and feet vigorously. Keep moving and dent fall asleep. Keep watching for traffic or searchers. DRESS FOR THE COLD Put on a hat as well as extra socks and mittens. Without a hat, you can lose up to 60 percent of your body heat. Add extra outer wear, or a pair of coveralls as the extra layers of dothing will trap warm air near die body, acting as insulation. (Caution: Do not drink alcohol in bitter cold, it lowers the .«. body temperature). • _t- KITCHENER - Charities usually welcome any aid they can get. Charities in Kitchener, Ontario, however, are in no hurry to receive money from stripper Gail Manktelow, who says she makes so much money stripping for a living she wants to give money that could buy toys and food for Christmas, but the charities aren't interested. She says they either hang up when she calls, or start quoting passages from the Bible. "I'm in the ** position where I can afford to Payments criticized OTTAWA - Canada, often hailed for its generous social services, was sharply criticized recently by the government's own welfare advisory body that said payments to the poor are grossly inadequate. Real incomes of recipients in seven of 10 provinces fell last year because welfare payments did not take into account increases in inflation, the National Council on Welfare said in a report. Canadian "oddities OTTAWA - The Golden Boy, atop the dome of the Manitoba legislative building with a torch in one hand and a sheaf of wheat in the other, seems an unlikely target for bombs or torpedoes. In fact, this statue was menaced by both. The 125th anniversary edition of Statistics Canada's Year Book relates that a bombing raid during the First World War narrowly missed the factory in France where the bronze statue was being cast. Then the statue was loaded aboard ship for North America. But the vessel was pressed into service as a troop transport. With the statue still in the hold, the ship spent a couple of wartime years steaming the sub-infested waters of the North Sea, English Channel, Mediterranean and the Atlantic before finally berthing safely in New York. The Golden Boy finally completed the journey to Winnipeg. The bronze figure was gold plated in 1951. ___, The feats of Louis Cyr, fabled Quebec strongman, provide another interesting item from our national past. While Cyr won formal weight lifting titles such as the North American championship in 1885 and Wodd championship in 1892, his fame really rested more on his spectacular stunts. In London, in -!* 1889, for example, he hdd two heavy draught horses, one with each hand, at an absolute standstill even though thek drivers tried to spur them apart. In Boston, in 1895, he lifted with his back a platform bearing 18 "fat" men - a total weight of 1,967 kilograms.

"It's very noble," says Veronica Fddcamp, campaign director for Gudph United Way. "Everybody wants to hdp the community and that's great It's the activity of how the money is being raised. It would be offensive to some of our agencies and clients and we raise the money for our agencies." New ICBC rate angers MLA The various agencies that had been in touch with Manktdow said they would welcome an anonymous donation.but would not promote her campaign, along with that of other strippers, of doubling the price of their table dance tickets until Christmas and buying necessities for the charities with the proceeds. DAWSON CREEK 7 Jack Weisgerber has denounced the proposed 24 percent hike in ICRC premiums, calling the increase "unacceptable". The former Social Credit minister said his government limited ICBC increases "across the board" to the inflation rate. He said that kept premium increases in the four and one-half percent range. "The current government says the Socreds didn't allow necessary increases. But, ICBC had a $17-m_llion profit last year," he said. "I drib.*' think ICBC should make a profit at all. Ifs there to offer a service at cost to the puhllc." Weisgerber said the NDP government just wanted to blame a huge premium increase this year on the former government OPEN SUNDAY FEATURING* FEATURING- FEATURING* FEATURING* FEATURING • FEATURING* FEATURING* FEATURING* FEATURING* FEATURING 1992 CHEVY CAVALIERS from $11,998 DOWN PAYMENT * INTEREST FOR 90 DAYS PAYMENTS FOR 90 DAYS - Fuel injected 4 cyl. engine - Aula transmission - Front wheel drive - Anti-lock brakes - Air conditioning - Aulo. power door locks - Daytime running lamps - Reclining front bucket seals - U remote mirrors - All-season radial tires -AM/FM stereo radio & cass. - Rear window defroster 1992 CHEVY ASTRO 8 PASS.
