promise of boycotts and civil disobedience in support of the cause.“It’s time to lean on each other,” Howard Galganov, president of the Montreal-based Quebec Political Action Committee, said before a

power By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) — Lucien Bouchard may jokingly compare himself with movie mobsters but the Quebec premier is also finding out that in real life some of his offers can.indeed, be refused.Bouchard, in power since January, has recently run afoul of some traditional sovereigntist allies, such as unions.His government has also annoyed a large segment of Quebec women with its decision to delay adopting pay-equity legislation.Françoise David, head of the Quebec Federation of Women, accused the Parti Québécois government of adopting a right-wing agenda after it put the legislation on the back burner.That’s considered a stinging rebuke for a government that prides itself on being a strong supporter of social-democratic values.Unions, meanwhile, angrily-denounced the government for rushing into a universal prescription drug insurance program they say would force them to renegotiate thousands of contracts in which workers already have drug plans Union spokesman say there is not enough time for renegotiation before the program takes effect later this year, while insurance companies say the universal plan will result in See BOUCHARD Page 2 ‘Taking it seriously’ — QPF Solar Temple cult ready for another suicide try?MONTREAL (CP) — Claims that another mass ritual suicide by members of the Order of the Solar Temple is being planned for this summer are being treated seriously by police.“We’re giving some importance to that,” said Jacques Saint-Pierre, a Quebec Police Force investigator.“We sent personnel to Europe to see if (the claims ) are founded.I haven’t yet received the results of the investigation but rest assured that we are taking it seriously.” Guy Fournier, a writer preparing a TV series about the solar temple cult, said in April that two former cult members informed him that the summer solstice could incite remaining members to try the suicidal ritual they believe will transport them to the star Sirius.Fournier had said one infor- mant was a cult member for nine years and became part of the inner circle.Both her parents died in Switzerland in October 1994, when the cult first came to light with the mass deaths of 53 people, including five in Canada.Last December, another 13 adults and three children were found dead in the Vercors region of France.In both cases, at least some of the dead were found to have been murdered by the others, who then committed suicide.The Swiss magazine L’Illustre has reported that Fournier’s other informant was a Swiss-born esthetician who was a former associate of Joseph Di Mambro, the solar temple leader who died with the others two years ago See CULT Page 2 Bishop’s class takes off one of456 degrees han ded out at the spring convocation of Bishop’s University on Saturday.Auger’s

Liberals, not friends By Jim Brown VANCOUVER (CP) — Preston Manning, fresh from four days of internal battles among Reformers, turned his guns on the governing Liberals Sunday and started campaigning for an election that’s still a year away.“Reform is ready to put the Liberals’ record of broken promises to the people,” he declared after a rousing, campaign-style rally that concluded the party convention.“Canadians need a fresh start.” Organizer Cliff Fryers pumped up the crowd with an assertion that Reform will leap from its current third place in the Commons to form the next government.He was undeterred by opinion surveys showing the party in the mid-teens in public support.“Do not be distracted by those who read polls.I believe.” It remains to be seen whether Manning can hold together his unruly coalition, let alone broaden it to take power in the election expected in 1997.Manning emerged from the convention with a solid 86-percent mandate in the customary leadership review.That was down from 92 per cent two years ago, but the leader was satisfied.“We’ve had to say some fairly hard things to our own delegates about disciplining ourselves .yet the vast majority seem to be willing to take that and affirm me as the one to do it.” Reform has been dogged by controversy between moderates who want to soften the party’s right-wing image and hardliners who see it as a protest movement against traditional politics.The dispute reached crisis proportions a month ago, when Manning suspended MPs Bob Ringma and Dave Chatters from caucus for discriminatory remarks against gays and ethnics.Then moderate Jan Brown quit, suggesting the party was a haven for extremists.Manning was blunt in a keynote address Saturday night: For a new party to become a governing party, we must first master the government of ourselves.” He counselled followers to avoid distractions like gay rights and stick to the “big issues” of tax relief, national unity and crime in the streets.But even on those issues the messages from the convention were mixed.Reformers voted to abolish the GST and institute a flat tax on income, with everybody paying the same rate.But there is no firm timetable for GST abolition, and critics say the flat tax favors the rich over the poor.Manning sees tax cuts as the key to economic growth: “Taxe-s, taxes, taxes kill jobs, jobs, jobs.” But he won’t lower taxes until the budget is balanced — so he wants to speed government spending cuts and get to a zero deficit in two years.He doesn’t say how many public-sector workers will lose theirjobs, but admitted Sunday there are “human consequences.” On national unity, Reform continues to reject distinct society status for Quebec and insist there will be no easy deal on separation if the province leaves Confederation.Reform’s call for decentralization — giving the provinces control of manpower training, natural resources, housing, recreation, language, culture and a host of other areas — is more extensive but not different in principle from that of Prime Minister Jean Chretien.Reform hardly registers on the political map of Quebec, and party strategist Rick Anderson conceded it likely won’t have candidates in every riding there in the next election.“We’d like to .but I think quality is going to be more important than quantity.” On criminal justice, there is wide support for the party’s stand on some issues, like denying early parole to convicted murderers.More contentious are proposals to abolish the Young Offenders Act and repeal gun registration.Nor has the flap over gay rights run its course.Delegates affirmed the equality of all before the law — then promptly passed a resolution that effectively denies spousal benefits to gays.There was further controversy when advertising consultant Bryan Thomas wondered aloud whether to include a gay person among the crowd pictured on a glossy election pamphlet.Manning was unworried by the media reaction: “I didn’t think 30 seconds about it.1 wouldn’t try to make a mountain out of that molehill.” UNITY: Continued from page one He was cheered by a boisterous crowd that watched a plane carry the bilingual message “Separation: It’s Over” through Ottawa’s grey skies.While most speakers dismissed politicians as ineffective, Galganov called on Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to pass an act of Parliament declaring that Canada is indivisible.And the west-Quebec-based United Quebec Federalists pre- CULT:- Continued from page one Montreal La Presse reports that police were initially skeptical about the

if Chrétien gets the message it will be second-hand.The prime minister turned down an invitation to attend the rally.A spokeswoman with the Prime Minister’s Office said Sunday there was a chance that the rally would conflict with the arrival in Ottawa of French Prime Minister Alain Juppé.She could not say if Chrétien would have attended otherwise.Many — like the man hol- ding a sign that read “Jean: Lead or Leave” — thought the prime minister should have been there.“I’m here to tell Chrétien to solve the goddamn problem and fast,” said Norma Truesdell, of Dollard-des-Ormeaux.“I think he

continues to ride high in public opinion polls but some observers believe Bouchard should beware the dangers of alienating traditional blocs of supporters even if an election could be as far off as 1999.“It could lead to a drop in support for sovereignty,” said Louis Balthazar, a Laval University political scientist.Jean-Marc Leger, a pollster with Leger and Leger, said the pay-equity protest should set off warning bells for the PQ.“Those were strong images of women opposing the government,” Leger said.“That’s half of Quebec’s population fighting.” Leger believes Bouchard is simply discovering the pitfalls of power.“This is the first time he’s been in the middle of a lot of turmoil .in his career.“He has always been above the melee and now he’s right in the middle of the

By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE — The names of two men who characterize the longstanding tradition of care and generosity at Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital will grace the new wing opened Sunday.The new Deragon-Sharp Pavilion pays tribute to John W.Sharp, a former member of the BMP board of directors and chairman of the 1952 capital campaign, and André Deragon, a former board member who oversaw the construction of the emergency room in 1989.During ceremonies Sunday Peter Turner, a former president of the BMP board, noted that both men shared the same traits of generosity and deep affection for their entire community.Turner pointed out that Sharp led a campaign to raise $750,000 for construction of the new main hospital in 1954, while Deragon was instrumental in completing the new emergency room in 1989.The two also represent the two language communities of the region and the tradition of community involvement in the hospital.“The bricks and mortar of this hospital are held together by the affection, generosity, and tremendous will and drive of individuals like these two men,” Turner said.Sharp’s son, on hand for the unveiling, said his father, affermer Quebec envoy in New York who died last August, would be honored to share the distinction with André Deragon.And despite his long absence from his boyhood home in Sweetsburg, U.S.businessman John Sharp’s recollection of the hospital and his father’s interest in it remained vivid.Speaking in impeccable French he shared some of his childhood memories, including his fond wish to slide down the steel chute which served as a fire escape on the side of the old hospital.“Should a fire occur, the nurses were to push the patients on mattresses down the chute,” he explained.Sharp remembered the Christmas day he fell over a staircase with his pet poodle and his father called nurse Dyer to arrange an X-ray — for the poodle.And he says that even as an adult he is adverse to any blood test by fingerpricking, after collapsing from the experience as a six-year-old at Sweetsburg Hospital.Sharp said if his father had one wish, it would be that the harmonious relations which have always existed among the people of the Eastern Townships continue to be a model for all of Quebec.“My father was devoted to this community, this hospital, and to Quebec,” he said.Pierre Deragon, current president of the BMP Hospital Foundation and a son of the late André Deragon, returned Sharp’s compliment, saying his father was a great admirer of the elder Sharp and would be proud to have his name inscribed on the same plaque.The Sharp and Deragon families unveiled the plaque before some 50 dignitaries, elected officials, hospital personnel and invited guests.Liberal MNA Pierre Paradis told the group BMP’s personalized approach to patient care makes it unique.“What makes it special is the way you are treated — the human, personal touch and the way you’re followed afterward in your treatment,” Paradis said.“If there is support for BMP Hospital from its many friends, it’s because they have experienced this care themselves or for their families.” Paradis and regional health board representative Mike Murray praised hospital manager Mario Cyr and the board of directors for ensuring continued quality health care for the people of Brome-Missisquoi.Murray said BMP and sister institutions are leading the way in their approach to the reorganization of health care services.Johnson Parti-Québécois MNA Claude Boucher, representing Health Minister Jean Rochon at Sunday’s ceremony, said he too has been a long-time friend of BMP Hospital, with several family members having been treated there.Boucher congratulated the English-speaking community of Brome-Missisquoi for its role in raising funds for the hospital and said that was an example of the traditional good relations which exist between the two language communities of the Eastern Townships.The new Deragon-Sharp Pavilion consists of two new storeys above the emergency room, with a birthing centre, surgical unit and renovated laboratories.The cafeteria has also been refurbished and a new entrance constructed during the first phase of the $8.3 million upgrade.The second phase is to begin in September with completion of the main lobby, as well as renovation of the radiology and sterilization departments, and the hospital pharmacy.Patient-care wards will also undergo renovations to bring them up to hospital standards.Furnishings for the 10 rooms in the surgical unit were provided by the BMP Hospital Auxiliary, and the 11 rooms in the birthing centre were furnished with funds raised through the 1995-96 regional Optimist Club telephone blitz.The 1995-97 fund-raising campaign for the BMP Foundation, under the honorary chairmanship of John Cleghorn, president and CEO of the Royal Bank, presently stands at $900,000.The goal is $1 million for new equipment by 1997.Following Sunday’s inauguration ceremonies the public was invited to tour the new wing.The Sharp family: Frank Wilkinson, Derek Sharp, Monique Sharp, John Sharp, John Newman, Cynthia Wilkinson, Tony Newman, Kim Newman, Andrew Wilkinson.kkcord

will be used to help the handicapped get to the second floor facility.The bathrooms, once complete, will also offer easier access for those with disabilities.“Over the years people haven’t been able to get up the stairs,” said Wendell Smith, past president of the community centre.With an aging population, Smith expects more people will be drawing on programs offerred by the centre, and they’ll need to get in.Besides the lift and new bathroom facilities, the centre also has new carpets, a room for the Meals-on-Wheels program, and a fresh coat of paint.Smith said much of the work, with the exception of electrical and plumbing work, were done by volunteers.Smith himself did the painting.COMMUNITY EFFORT Funding for the $20,000 ren-novation project came largely from the community, with a $3000 grant from Orford MNA Robert Benoit for the lift.“We were quite surprised and quite happy to be able to raise the money so quickly,” Smith said.Fundraising began last August, and by Christmas the centre had managed to exceed its $20,000 goal.Smith explained that the fundraising process began when ex-mayor Ruth Taylor managed to convince Benoit of the need for improvements to the facilitites, which has been the home of the centre since 1974.A mass mailing to North Hatley taxpayers raised the rest.“Most of it came from people sending in $25, $50, or $100, and there were a few who sent in $1000,” Smith said.“It came from the people.It was quite a feat, that’s for sure.” Editorial 6—The RECORD—Monday, June 10, 1996 What the cool guys do on TV There's one less kid in the

movies, and not all kids have fully captured the concept of special effects — or of their own vulnerability.That’s why the adults among us have a responsibility to ensure the risk to personal and public safety from irresponsible kids with cars is minimized.In the same way adults know they should never make a game ofchasinga toddler onto the road, we should instincti-vely know that it's equally unwise to chase a teenager with a high-powered engine bent on impressing his buddies.Parents need to be informed by police when their kid is hot-rodding about town and they have to take appropriate action to put the brakes on the reckless behavior.Driving instructors must stress the fragility of cars, and the inability of even the most experienced drivers to control them when pushed beyond reasonable limits.And 1 long lor the day a police directive restricts high speed chases to only the most exceptional circumstances which pose an immediate threat to public safety.Because in so many cases, once you stop the chase, vou eliminate the threat.SHARON McCULLY Mexican leader’s visit bad news for the U.S.By Dianne Rinehart OTTAWA (CP) — Canada and Mexico are expected to team up to fight U.S.policies they find harmful when Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo arrives for a five-day visit today.Analysts say there are at least three initiatives aimed at the United States the two countries intend to consult on.One is how to fight the American Helms Burton trade sanctions bill which would punish Canadian and Mexican companies that do business with Cuba.The second is how to pressure the United States to fast-track the admittance of Chile to the North American Free Trade Agreement — something the U.S.opposes.And the two countries will be looking at ways of eliminating land mines in the Western hemisphere.“Historically we know that Mexico and Canada weren't close politically until (Mexico became a member of) NAFTA,” says Evan Potter, editor of Canadian foreign Policy.“Now' there's a recognition of commonality of inte-'ests on how to deal with Washington.” For example, Canada and Mexico teamed up at a ecent Organization of American States meeting to tush through a resolution condemning the HelmsBurton legislation.kUllUll/ QALUIT LABRADOR recent carves,.Somalia documents faked: Brass were deaf to the alarms OTTAWA (CP) — The Somalia inquiry’s investigation of a Defence Department scandal has so far found that when junior officers sounded the alarm at headquarters last September, the brass were deaf.The inquiry has spent seven weeks hearing witnesses explain how Somalia-related documents were altered, how the Access to Information Act was ignored and how an attempt was made to destroy documents sought by Somalia investigators.The main revelation has been that senior officials were warned by their juniors about the document problems, but didn’t react.Two navy lieutenants, Joel Brayman and A1 Wong, warned a series of superiors that there had been an attempt to destroy documents.They also warned that the Access Act had been sidestepped and even that Gen.Jean Boyle, who was then on his way to the top job in the military, had signed two misleading letters to a journalist.The immediate result?Nothing.Brayman even went to Lt.-Col.Kim Carter, a military lawyer, with his tale of document alterations and destruction orders.Her reaction was to give him seven days to straighten things out m-house.Ruth Cardinal, the director general of public affairs in whose department the problems were festering, was told but did nothing.Lt.-Gen.James Fox, a retired officer brought back to supervise the transfer of Defence documents to the inquiry, was told.He did nothing.He didn’t warn Boyle that hi s signature was on two erroneous documents.The irony is that the whole investigation, which has sidetracked the inquiry since April CP News Analysis By John Ward and promises to drag out at least to summer, is looking into innocuous documents.They were known as RTQs or responses to queries and were used as crib sheets by military public affairs officers to answer reporters’ questions.They contained a cover sheet with the author’s name, a hypothetical question, a suggested answer, a few paragraphs of background and a sign-off sheet with the n ames of the offi -cers who approved the material.In 1993, Michael McAuliffe, a CBC Radio reporter, asked informally for copies of all the RTQs related to Somalia.The public affairs officers decided to give them to him, but in an edited fashion.Among other things, some of the background referred to CBC in a “confrontational” manner.So they cut out the author’s names, the background and the sign-off sheet and gave them to McAuliffe.But he then filed an Access request for the same material.Not wanting him to find out about the changes in the first batch, the public affairs branch again edited the RTQs.But this was overstepping the bounds because the Access Act doesn’t allow such ad hoc deletions.Of people and papers.OTTAWA (CP) — A quick guide to some of the people and acronyms involved in the Somalia inquiry investigation of a Defence document scandal: RTQ — A response

The RECORD—Monday, June 10, 1996—7 Entertainment-Business Next few years are the key — Montreal study Cable TV to grow through the Internet?By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — Cable TV companies could lose 13 to 15 per cent of their customer base in the next decade to competitors like telephone companies, says a report by a Montreal-based brokerage firm.But it still likes their stock.The recommendation is because cable TV will compensate for lost revenues from video distribution by providing Internet access and later telephone service.The projections are in a report by Lévesque Beaubien Geoffrion Inc., which doesn’t agree with some negative sce- narios for cable TV.“In our view, the major Canadian cable companies are not dinosaurs and the industry will enjoy sustained growth in the foreseeable future.” says analyst Normand Roy.editor of the report.In fact, Roy believes the convergence of video and telephone will make a technological transformation as revolutionary as the introduction of the automobile.Cable companies are already offering trial access to the Internet — the global computer network — in selected cities.But full-blown competition between the telephone and cable companies won’t start until 1999, Roy believes.Besides the Internet, Roy says cable companies by the end of the decade stand to gain over 19 per cent of the business telephone market and 14 per cent of residential.In the same period, Roy predicts the telephone companies could capture 15 per cent of the whole signals distribution market, including video.He believes the cable industry will go through three phases in the next decade.In the first, to 1998, cable will continue to grow, with help from the Internet.In the second phase, to 2001, growth will slow and cable subscriptions will drop.But in the third phase dollars will start flowing in from telephone services they will be equipped for by that time.Cable companies demonstrated at a convention last week in Edmonton that their large-band cables give much faster access to the Internet than standard telephone wire.Roy says growth forecasts for the Internet “are awesome.” He predicts 75 per cent of Canadian households will have a personal computer by 2005 (now 30 per cent), and 52 per cent will be Internet users.Cable companies expect to provide nearly a third of that by then, pulling in about $50 a month per user.As early as 1998, Internet access will give cable companies $200 million to $300 million a year, Roy predicts.There are hurdles along the information highway.One is to make the coaxial TV cable capable of carrying telephone messages as well as video.“It’s going to cost enormously,” Roy said in an interview.Cable companies that have a good balance sheet are in the best position, he said, recommending Montreal-based Groupe Vidéotron and Shaw Communications of Edmonton.“DID IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE PEOPLE THAT ‘DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS’ WAS THERE?FOR ME, THE ANSWER IS YES.’ SIDNE MADDISON, NURSE

commitments made at the Conference on the Social and Economic Future of Québec last March, the Québec government announces that it is setting up a Commission on Taxation and the Financing of Public Services.Québec MANDATE OF THE COMMISSION • Spark discussion and collect the views and suggestions expressed by various components of Québec society during the travelling consultations held by the Commission.• Identify the general policy directions to guide the government’s efforts to improve the efficiency, fairness and competitiveness of the tax system while promoting job creation and ensuring optimal financing for public services.• Examine options for simplifying the tax system and make appropriate recommendations on achieving this objective.• Examine ways to eliminate tax evasion.• Issue an opinion on the deficit elimination and balanced budget bill.• Examine the pros and cons of creating a fund or trust for the repayment of Québec’s debt and, if appropriate, suggest how it could be financed.CONSULTATION PROCESS • The government will first invite interested individuals, groups and organizations to submit a brief to the Commission.• Persons interested in filing a

Deciding to go out for a drive.I was cruising all the dirt country roads, Enjoying the scenary and their modes.The farms and the smell of fresh country air, Were something to experience ‘cause it’s quite rare.I drove for miles and miles ‘round, ‘Til I realized the road back couldn’t be found.I tried to find a road sign or marker, Getting a little nervous as the day grew darker.There were no more silos, barns or houses, To stop and ask directions from farmers or spouses.Slowing the car down, I heard a swoosh, I stopped and parked near a bush.I walked around the front of the car, I viewed my flat tire - I wouldn’t go far.I went around and opened my trunk, As I probed around amongst the junk.All of a sudden, I got quite a scare, As I soon realized I had no spare.Getting into my car to play my next move, Trying hard not to panic and find a groove.I slowly looked at the dash - my heart sank, My gas said I had an empty tank.Down on my luck, I decided to start walking, Praying no beast or creature woudn’t be stalking.The road seemed long and quite eerie, As I remained alert and very leery.I walked for two miles - I was ready to yelp, A car finally came by and offered me help.David

my tour of Queensland, on March 5 I went to Buderim, north of Brisbane.There I gave two short classes on defensive signaling and useful conventions.The latter concentrated on transfer bids, but I also gave advice on a variety of other bidding topics, primarily in answer to questions.Transfer bids confer two major advantages opposite a strong no-trump: The responder can show a game-forcing two-suiter below the level of three no-trump: and the opener can play the contract in responder's major, with the opening lead around to his hand's tenaces, rather than through them.This deal caught out one sleepy declarer.How should South plan the play in four spades after West has led the heart queen'’ Two hearts showed at least five spades.Then, when North offered a choice between three no-trump and four spades, South had an easy decision to make Missing three aces, declarer had to avoid a third-round heart loser.South could discard dummy’s loser on his third club, but that had to be organized immediately.The declarer who won the first trick in hand went down.West ducked the club king, won the second round of clubs and returned a heart, stranding declarer in the dummy.The careful declarers won the first trick in the dummy before attacking clubs.Although West ducked the first club, won the second and returned the heart 10, South could win in hand and discard dummy’s last heart

the age of 76 years, 51 spent with his beloved "Mu".Born in Fauldhouse, Scotland, Bob emigrated as a small child to Magog, Quebec with his parents, William and Daisy Malcolm.Over the next two decades.Bob developed a formidable reputation as a first class athlete, becoming a local star in running events, a powerhitting baseballer, a rock hard defenseman in hockey, and attaining Golden Gloves cover as a boxer.Bob enlisted with his home town Militia Unit 73 Field Battery R.C.A., which became part of the 5th Field Regiment R.C.A.2nd Canadian Division proceeding overseas in the spring of 1940, starting a military career that would span five decades and included service in both the Second World War and Korean conflict.Twice mentioned in dispatches in recognition of gallantry and outstanding service in both theatres, his outstanding leadership earned further recognition with his appointment as Regimental Sergeant-Major (RSM) of his regiment at 24 years old — then the youngest RSM in the Canadian Army.Bob retired in 1975 following his last posting at Shilo, MB as the Regimental Adjutant (RCA) and then spent five years as the Business Manager of the Brandon Mental Health Centre, Brandon, MB.Bob's retirement was anything but, as he continued his sporting activities through curling and particularly golfing where he was a valued member of seven local club championship teams.Despite his success in these events, his most treasured trophy was always the esteemed Malcolm Family Golf Challenge Cup, an award he always managed to retain to the chagrin of his three sons.Bob also kept up an active membership in Branch #3 Royal Canadian Legion serving several times on the executive, in the Army Navy Airforce Veterans Association and in the Officers Mess, C.F.B.Shilo.As a fitting tribute to his military contributions, he was selected to lead and review parades that commemorated D-Day and the Korean Armistice.Bob's consuming passions were his 11 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren, gardening, travelling with Mu, an extensive collection of photo albums, and of course conquering golf courses throughout Canada, the U.S.A., Australia, The United Arab Emirates and the British Isles.No doubt the high point being several occasions at St.Andrew's, Scotland.He left a legacy of a life-long love of books and sports and an outstanding example of loyalty, determination and work ethic that has been absorbed by his family.Strong to the end, he fulfilled his commitments as a husband, father, leader and provider.Bob is remembered by his loving wile Muriel Elsie "Mu" (nee Letton); sons Robert (wife Pam), Ian (wife Joy), and Andrew; daughters Bronwen (husband Joe), Glynys (husband Marty); brother George (wife Betty and family); sister Ruth (husband Alphonse and family); sister Winnie (husband Jimmy and family); brother-in-law Bill letton (Wales); grandchildren Jennifer, Jody, Jamie, Chris, Shannon, Tara, Kathleen, Sean, Ryan, Jacquie, Mike and great-grandchildren Lichelle, Alyssa, Andrew and Bradley.A memorial service will be held at the Brockie Donovan Chapel, 332-8th St., Brandon on Thursday, June 13 at 1 p.m.with Captain Brian Fuller of the Salvation Army officiating.A time of fellowship and refreshment will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #3.In lieu of flowers, tributes, memoriams are requested to be forwarded

amazed at the number of teen-age girls who, like you, were offended by R.M.'s letter.Here's one from an older reader in Orlando, Fla.: Dear Ann Landers: What's with that dork in Long Beach, knocking girls who let their underwear show on purpose when they wear low-rise jeans?Has he been living in a cave or what?Doesn't he know that under-wear is considered outer-wear these days?I don't know where this fashion trend is going, but I wouldn't be surprised if girls started to show up in bras and denim shorts.And when I say shorts, I mean a dime's worth of fabric.Maybe we should call out the Decency Squad.Things are getting out of hand.- ORLANDO DEAR ORLANDO: Fashions come and go, and maybe by the time this letter appears in print, low-rise jeans will be out and bras will be back where they belong.Meanwhile, remember that the best-dressed females leave something to the imagination.Dear Ann Landers: I was interested in the letters that appeared in your column about the proper (and improper) way to dress when eating in a restaurant.I am not saying that guys should wear tuxedos and cuff links when they go to McDonald's, but unless you have faced the hairy armpits of a jock when dining out, you have no idea what real nausea is.Please tell those slobs to show some consideration for others by carrying a sport shirt in the car for such occasions.Houston is a particularly offensive city in this regard.I know because for 18 years 1 put up with the slobs.Too bad there’s so little class there.I haven't seen one hairy armpit in a restaurant since I moved to Baltimore.- J.R.DEAR J.R.: Your complaint leaves me baffled.Have you been eating for 18 years in truck stops?1 have been to Houston many times and have yet to encounter a single hairy armpit in a restaurant.Mayor Bob Lanier is not going to be happy when he sees your letter Dear Ann Landers: The letter from the woman who was still getting mail addressed to her long-dead in-laws reminded me of a similar experience.My mother died some years ago.One magazine continued to arrive with increasingly urgent messages: “Soon you will receive no further issues.Please let us know why you no longer want to subscribe." I responded, "Because the subscriber is dead." The next month, I received a notice saying, "Please send us your new address." I returned the notice with my mother's new address: "Roselawn Cemetery" complete with street, town, zip code and grave location.— IRVINGTON, N.Y.DEAR IRVING: I wouldn’t be surprised if the mail is being sent to the cemetery.Have you checked?CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY SOCIETE CANADIENNE DU CANCER mmecan CANCEL % GIVE GENEROUSLY Crossword 23 ACROSS 26 Units of 48 Mimic illumination 50 Blackthorns 29 Have being 51 Black, to poets 31 Plaster of Paris Bathe 34 was going 53 Punctuation to.” mark 35 Self 59 Prod 36 Worker on 60 God of war pictures 61 Red as — 37 A world boxing 62 Irritate champ Darryl of 41 Dealer 63 baseball 42 Assistance 64 River to the 43 Got Your 65 Baltic Number" — Cruces, TX 44 Small fish 66 Fruit of the vine 45 Stout 46 Crane or heron 67 stuffing 1991 World Series player Concerning Romeo Essence 28 Reefers 38 Devices that 49 Conspicuous 29 Turkish leader adjust to fit success 30 Kingly 39 Nerve network 50 Unwashed 32 Wait on tables 40 Fabricate 51 Party 33 Command 45 Beached 52 — spumante 35 Goof 46 Bankroll 54 Burl of music 36 Supplied with 47 Maxims 55 Furnished nourishment 56 Base end 57 Man or Capri 58 Goblet part we all?” Friday's Puzzle solved: P A C K S C U P O N A H A L O E U L N A ° M E G A L O T 1 R U T S c E D E D P U T T H E B 1 T E o N 1 D A H O H E A L s A P B S O H O K E L L E R S T S C O U P S 1 L K A P U T T H E S Q U E E Z E O N O B O E E R N S T N E T D A L L A S F E U D E S E T R 1 A L ¦ D U N E S r w 1 S T O N E S A R M M A O R ' H O W E 1 T O N 1 A V A 1 0 N E R E M 1 T C A R O Jv T Y R 0 D 1 E S 6/8/96 sound DOWN 1 “Oh, woe!” 2 Portion 3 Always 4 Used-car transaction 5 Strikebreakers 6 Ear part 7 Hebrew measure 8 Become visible 9 Butterfly 10 Frenchman, e.g.11 Wedding ceremony girl 12 Eye amorously 13 —do-well 21 Existed 25 Field: pref.26 Endures 27 Appropriate 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 I p 11 12 13 14 5 P 17 • r 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 :|«45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 J 60 61 62 J 63 64 65 I 66 ?67 All rights reserved.6/8/96 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present fcacn letter in the cipher stands for another.Today's clue: V equals P BEATTIE BLVD.® by Bruce Beattie by NEA, Inc Q p^r- 0 L^ 1' 1 0 6-10 "Smells like your odor eaters have gained 10 pounds!” KIT ’N’ CARLYLE ® by Larry Wright A cc-eAfc.Sign Yoc/r.c^t'5 /vmm-s c ui ppt/Nc, *.- \ Record Jo-Ann Hovey Advertising Consultant Tel: 819-569-9525 Fax:819-569-3945 Jl ALLEY OOP ® by Dave Grauc and Jack Bender AREN'T VOU KINOA WORRIED ABOUT,!
