NAME criease pris _PHONE ___ ADDRESS Category: Name of Recipe: BILLIONAIRES NEW YORK (AP) billion?” ‘ For seven Camadians and 125 other people around the world, the answer's yes, said Fortune magazine. Topping the Canadians on the list is the head of a a conglomerate, K.C. Irving, 88, of Saint John, N.B., who is worth $6.6 billion Cdn, Fortune said in its Oct. 19 issue. Irving is followed by newspaper magnate Kenneth Thomson, 64, of Toronto, who is worth $5.5 billion. Next is line are the three Reichmann brothers of Toronto: Albert, 58; Paul, 56 and Ralph, 53. The de- velopers are worth a total of $5 billion. Charles Bronfman, 56, of Montreal, together with Edgar Bronfman, 58, of New York, controls a fortune worth $3.6 billion built on distilleries. Supermarket czars Galen Weston, of Toronto and Garfield Weston of London, are worth a total of $1.1 billion, Fortune said. Canada’s head of state, the Queen is a member of the club as well. Elizabeth, 61, is worth an estimated $7.4 billion, but she “turns off palace lights to save money,” said Fortune. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, 41, tops the worldwide list. He is worth $26 billion, and next to him is — “Hey buddy, can you spare a_ —- 4 King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, 67, who cashes in at $20 billion, Fortune reported. Both can thank oil for their prosperity. In all, the ine said, 132 people control 98 billion-dollar family fortunes, including 47 U.S. fortunes, 12 Arab, 10 Asian, seven in Canada and six each in Britain, West Germany and the Netherlands. 18 YOUNGEST The youngest billionaire listed is William Gates, 31, of Seattle, Wash., founder of the Microsoft computer- software company. A Harvard dropout, he was said by Fortune to be worth $1.2 billion. Other names on the list may be more familiar: There are three members of the Mars family, famous for their candy bars; two Rockefellers; August Anheuser Busch and Alfred Henry Heineken, both brewers; three Marriotts, of the hotels; two Gallos, of the wines; and Estee Lauder, 79, queen of cosmetics. Queen Beatrix of the Neatherlands, 49, is worth $4.4 billion. But while some were born to wealth, others achieved it. John Richard Simplot, born 78 years ago in a one-room log cabin on the banks of the Snake River, now heads the world's largest potato-growing and processing outfit, J.R. Simplot Co. of Boise, Idaho, Fortune said. It put his worth at $1 billion. Among the surprises are those who did not make the list, Fortune gaid in its report, released Saturday: no Vander bilts, no du Ponts, no Astors or Mellons; no Donald Trump, the New York real-estate magnate; and no Adnan Kashoggi, the Saudi arms dealer. No big deal, said an unidentified Kashoggi aide: “It's not how much he has, but how much he spends.” B.C. RATES AA NEW YORK (CP) — Standard and Poor's has concluded an analysis of the Canadian economy by noting its strength but keeping provincial government credit ratings at reces- sion-era levels. The New York-based ratings agency says most provinces have trimmed their deficits since the recession but progress has been uneven and has not kept pace with the overall improvement of the Canadian economy. “Financial flexibility has been reduced, which raises questions as to the provinces’ abilities to prevent significant financial deterioration in future downturns,” the agency says in a newly released report. Standard and Poor's, which assesses the debt of all provinces except Prince Edward Island, maintained its ratings across the board. Ontario and Alberta have the best provincial rating, at AA-plus. British Columbia is next, at AA; followed by Saskatchewan and Quebec, at AA-minus. Manitoba and New Brunswick follow with an A-plus rating while Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are rated A-minus. RATINGS DROP All provinces except New Brunswick saw their ratings drop between July 1982 and Oftober 1986, so the reaffirma- tion means no province gained ground since that period. The reports ‘says the Canadian economy is strong, thanks to the industries of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. In affirming the AAA rating that the federal govern- ment has held since 1952, the agency said Canada in 1987 is expected to maintain one of the highest growth rates in the industrialized world for the fifth year running. This, despite an inflation rate of four to five per cent. That rate is higher than those of its trading partners, a factor that reduces Canada’s international competitiveness, the report says. But it also noted that among industrialized countries, Canada has one of the highest budgetary deficits and one of the heaviest debt burdens from foreign borrowing. Standard and Poor's says all of the rated provinces except Alberta recovered from the recession of the early 1980s. FARE BETTER But it adds Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba have greatly outperformed their neighbors because they have more of a manufacturing and service base than provinces highly dependent on natural resources. The report says the greatest gains in deficit reduction have been made in Central Canada, and the smallest in the West. The three rated Atlantic provinces made progress until 1986 but New Brunswick slipped this year and, with Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, is expecting a higher deficit next year. Standard and Poor's looks at a wide range of economic, fiseal and political factors in assigning a rating, which p the likelihood of timely repay of debt service and can therefore influence borrowing terms. For example, the report says ratings for Atlantic provincial governments are shored up by the knowledge that they get about 40 per cent of their revenue from the federal government, compared with 16 per cent for Ontario and Alberta. Province credit steady flexibility because it has the lowest provincial tax burden and the highest level of services. ¢ After posting considerable economic growth last year, Saskatchewan's financial performance in fiscal 1987 was the poorest of the pi because of dep prices, a languishing farm economy and political pressure to restrain taxes and maintain services. For fiscal 1988, the province is raising taxes and cutting areas of spending substantially. Manitoba's economy is one of the brightest because of agricultural diversity and a large service sector. Growth, driven by investment, should again exceed the national average. Social spending drove up the deficit but progress is planned this year through tax measures and moderate spending constraints. e Ontario will remain the country's strongest per. former, with vitality in many key sectors, budget surplus despite substantial spending increases, and a steady debt burden. HIGHEST DEBT © Almost every sector of Quebec's economy has per formed well, although its total public sector debt — when that of Hydro Quebec, hospitals and all other government entities are included is the highest in Canada, at 64.4 per cent of gross domestic. product, But this peaked in 1986 and should continue to decline if the economy stays healthy. e New Brunswick has been one of the few provinces to post an operating surplus: in recent years but deficit increases budgeted for 1988 have reduced financial flex ibility, already constrained by a high tax burden and debt obligations. The economy has been relatively good, in part because of strength in forestry and the fishery, but this performance has not translated into equally good financial results. © Weak construction and manufacturing activity more than offset improvements in Nova Scotia's fishing and lumber industries since offshore petroleum exploration declined. Large fiscal imbalances have eased after dramatic deterioration in the early 1980s, especially with a halving of the deficit last year. But further deficit cuts are being delayed by heavy capital spending this year, and flexibility to raise revenue appears limited because tax burdens are already high. ¢ Newfoundland is completing a fourth year of sluggish recovery and has recently narrowed its fiscal shortfalls Struggling resource industries and contraction of offshore exploration have hurt, although the fishery and forestry is budgeted to reverse this year.

Green, Jr., it expects third quarter net president and chief executive income to be flat compared to officer. “In this year's quar the same period a year ago. ter, about three cents per BRONZE DIABETES A CONCERN VANCOUVER (CP) — his friends and acquaintances — even. to himself — Tom Warder's perpetual tan was a sign of good health. But the dark complexion that made even the spaces between his fingers and toes dark was a unique symptom of a disease that would lead to a plethora of other ail- ments including diabetes, cirrhosis and angina. First diagnosed in the 19th century as a rare form of dia- betes, researchers have only learned in the last 20 years that bronze diabetes — so named for its tendency to give its sufferers their dark complexion — was a mis- nomer. People with the condition have dangerously high levels of iron absorbed. and carried in their bloodstream. That iron y ‘To disease begins to be appar- ent, usually after 30. Warder also wants to alert the public to the dangers of taking iron supplements or eating iron-fortified foods. “It seems ironic that the people of Canada are not only. ingesting (iron) with every mouthful of cerea) but are being exhorted to take iron supplements without being warned of its dangers,” War- der said in a recent letter to federal Health Minister Jake Epp. For seven years, Tom Warder suffered diabetes and other symptoms includ- ing dizziness, abdomial pain, lethargy and disorientation — wrongly attributed to his body’s inability to absorb in- sulin. “He had lost so much weight that I described him asa colored skele- causing disease in vital or- gans including the heart, liver and endocrine glands. If left unchecked it can be a precursor to a large number of potentially fatal diseases including diabetes, cirrhosis, liver cancer and arthritis. DEFECT COMMON Researchers have dis- covered it could be the most common on genetic defects, carried by hundreds of thou- sands of Canadians. They estimate as many as 75,000 Canadians suffer from the disease without knowing it. Warder’s wife Marie, who founded the Canadian Hemo- chromatosis Society, believes the absence of routine de- tection procedures and lack of awareness both with the public and doctors are partly to blame. The only tests routinely done now are to detect iron deficiencies in the blood, but not an iron overload, Marie Warder said in an interview. She said she is pressing to have a simple, inexpensive test incorporated into phys- ical examinations for men over age 20 before the ton,” says his wife. Warder's disease was caught late in life, too late-to reverse a process that led him to also develop diabetes, liver disease, angina and arthritis. There is no cure. The only known treatment is blood- letting or phlebotomy. Patients at first have blood removed from their system — the same bloodletting con- sidered a cure-all in the 18th century — as often as once a week at first and later three or four times a year. Dr. Michael Hayden, associate professor of genetic medicine at the University of British Columbia, says the real issue behind the disease is that what happened to Warder could have been avoided. He agrees with Marie Warder that testing tech niques could be improved, but says he would probably limit them to people with hemochromatotic symptoms or those with a family history SCIENCE FLOODING PREDICTED WASHINGTON (AP) — Flooding and shoreline erosion will threaten coastal communities over the next century as the sea level rises at an increasing rate, the U.S. National Research Council says. “It's not a time to panic, but neither is it a time for complacency,” commented Robert Dean of the University of Florida at Gainesville, chairman of the study committee, “The good news is that we have planning time.” Sea level a threat The study noted that the sea level has been rising worldwide for the last several hundred years, During the past century or so, it said, the level is up about 90 centi- metres along the Atlantic coast, 15 centimetres in the Gulf of Mexico and 10 centimetres on the Pacific coast, On the other hand, the sea level has fallen in Alaska, where the land is rising slightly as the glaciers melt and their weight is eased off the land. Much of the relative rise in sea level is attributed to land ie in coastal areas, Also considered a factor is The committee of coastal urged that this trend by a major focus when Slacking for future development in coastal areas. ¥ It is particularly important when designing costly public facilities expected to last 50 years or longer, the scientists said in their report titled Responding to Changes in Sea Level: Engineering Implications. They said coastal communities have. three basic choices: © Strengthening the shoreline with levees, seawalls and other structures. e Wise management of protective sand and. other ecantal resources. © Letting nature take its course and man-made structures away from the water’s ed Making the wrong decision could prove coatly, the moving the warming of the atmosphere, causing glaciers to melt and adding to ocean volume. Depending on conditions, sea level rises of 50 centi- metres to nearly 1.5 metres could occur by the year 2085, the study suggested. The change should come gradually, and most small structures, such as beach cottages, would not be affected during their useful lifetimes, and major facilities could likely be protected or raised. But each location is unique and will be affected differently, the committee said. Taking part in the study were Robert Dalrymple of the University of Delaware; Rhodes Fairbridge of Columbia University; Stephen Leatherman of the Uni- versity of Maryland; Dag Nummedal of Louisiana State University; Morrough O'Brien and Robert Wiegel of the University of California at Berkeley; Orrin Pilkey of site basis. report says, and choice will have to be made on a site-by- Duke University and Wilton Sturges of Florida State University.

Fighting Gram-negative bacteria “has been a major problem worldwide since the latter part of the 1960s,” he said. While effective drugs To sab that process, researchers had to find a way to get their drug inside the bacteria, which normally re- sist it.

Service-sector By CasNews Staff Sumac Ventures Inc. of Vancouver has started full production at the “Old Union Mine” near Grand Forks. The company has assembled all the necessary equipment and a crew is on site processing about 500 tons of ore a day, Sumac director Frank Clark says in a prepared release. ‘Approximately 20 people are employed extracting gold, silver and platinum. They will stay on site until about the end of November when weather conditions will force the mine's shutdown.

Con- solidated operating income for the quarter is estimated at approximately $17 million, up from $12.8 million in the same period_a year ago. Estimated primary earn- ings per share will be approx- imately 64 cents, versus 63 cents a year earlier. Average common shares for the cur. rent period will be about 14.9 million, compared with 14.6 million a year ago.
