FRAN MOFFAT
After 16 years of service at Sears, Fran Mof-
fat is retiring. Fran and her husband Bob have
six children and have been Castlegar residents
for 36 years. Fran has been a Pythian Sister for
about 17 years. She plans to pursue her hobbies
including knitting, gardening and b ing and to

Mexican-American comedian (played by | Rasp Rodrigues)
and his family, doesn't break new ground as All in the
Family did in 1971. Pablo isn’t as controversial as Archie
or Maude; television has changed too much for that.

Still, it is about a family in turmoil. Comedian (a.k.a.,
also known as, Pablo) Rivera’s act is based on ethnic
jokes, which send his proud, conservative father into a
rage.

Lear has other pilots in the works, but this i is his first
series since he walked away from TV in 1978 with the
intention of writing a movie called Religion. He never
wrote the movie, instead founding People for the
American Way to counter the religious right movement.

WORLD TURNS

“While I was gone, the world has turned 120 de
grees,” he said. “There's that much more to write about.”

After a pause, he adds: “Actually, I don't feel I've
been away. I just haven't been doing weekly television.”

In his absence from TV, some of his fears have been
realized, he said.

“The networks have. an increased fixation with the
ratings. Five years ago, the networks bought 13 shows.
Now you've got to be instant success.”

Lear isn't ready to knock off somebody else's
success. He has been one of the most innovative and cre-
ative writers in the history of the medium. His con
tr Jevision was recently recognized when he
was inducted asa charter member of the Hall of Fame by

“It's akin to when Jimmy Walker played J.J. on Good

for people, but at the same time people said J.J. was a

for Rita Moreno or Suzanne Somers, who plays the dumb

Is A WRITER

Despite his enormous success as a producer and, in
fact, an entrepreneur of television, Lear says he still
considers himself “primarily a writer.

“I don't think of myself as anything but a writer,
although I do produce.”

Lear also has a movie coming up for ABC called
Heartsound, based on a book about his cousin. James
Garner and Mary Tyler Moore star.

Howard Rollins and Art Carney star in a movie pilot
for NBC called Doctor's Story. And Lear also has pilots
starring Charles Durning as a flim-flam man, one about

He smiles wryly.

“Pablo is a knockout of life, a knockoff of the
immigrant experience, not of another television show.
The emergence of the Latino culture in our consciousness
is new. That wasn't her five years ago.”

(The 1980 census sayd there are 14.6 million
Hispanics in the United States.)

He beileves the audience will be able to identify with
the Rivera family, just as it did earlier with blacks on

news called Good Evening, He Lied, and a res-
toration comedy called The Education of Harry Bellair.

Why has he chosen to come back to television rather
than motion pictures?

“It takes four to six years to get a picture going.
When you're in television and you're a writer, you can get
an idea on the first of March and deliver it to the people in
the middle of May.

“That's the romance and excitement of television.
There was no contest. I didn’t even consider films.”

customers with break dance
exhibitions. Cinemas, tele-
vision and magazines also are
featuring the acrobatic steps.

Dancers dazzle onlookers
with their spins and struts in
Frankfurt’s main shopping

day in small change.

dance competitions. The win-
ner gets a prize of $196

“It's like a fever right

ow,” said Peter Boehm, 82,
who works at the City Music
store in downtown Frank-
furt.

Break dancing is the latest
fad in a country where suc-
cessive generations of teen-
agers since the Second World
War have been quick to
adopt American styles in
music, dance and clothes.

The West German Dance
Teachers’ Association esti-
mates that 360,000 young
Germans are caught up in the
craze.

Break dancers here say the
fad hit West Germany about
six months ago, inspired by
American movies and rock
videos shown in nightclubs
and on television. It also was
made popular by American
servicemen break dancing in
local discos.

“All of Germany is influ-
enced by America,” Jan
Bahnke, a 17-year-old break
dancer said.

One group of street dan-
cers in the shopping district
said they get weekly “les-
sons” from an American sol-
dier they met in a disco.

“It was sensational,” said

“We had at least 700 people
crowded into the store in
Frankfurt to watch him.”

Mr. Robot is touring Eur-
ope to promote the movie,
Break Dance, which was re-
cently released in West Ger-
many. Koisks are plastered
with posters advertising the
film.

Many of the young dancers
say they practise three or
four hours a day, prompting
parents to complain that
youngsters spend more time
break dancing than studying.

“We practice every free
minute we have — at the bus
stop, wherever, we dance,”
said Matthias Hoffend, 17,
who won a competition at the

There has been no move to
ban public break dancing in
Frankfurt, as was proposed
last month by iraté ‘store-
owners in San Bernardino,

McCarthy era

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
They were a diverse trio,
each highly complex, each
with his future linked to the
other: Richard M. Nixon,
Whittaker Chambers, Alger
Hiss.

Chambers, a pudgy former
Communist, accused Hiss, an
Ivy Leaguer, of being a So-
viet spy before the Second
World War. Nixon, a member
of the House of Represen-
tatives’ un-American ac-
tivities committee, staked his
career on the belief that

Chambers was telling the
truth.

It was 1948, the time of the
famous Chambers “pumpkin
papers,” an era that laid the
foundations for Senator Jo-
seph McCarthy's accusations
in the 1950s of Communists in
high places.

The confrontation between
the three men is re-created i
the PBS American Playhouse
mini-series Concealed Enem-
ies, set for May 7, 8 and 9.

The era is also recalled in
President Reagan's post-
humous award this year of
the Medal of Freedom to
Chambers, who died in 1961.

“I think the way these two
men looked, Hiss and Cham-
bers, had a lot to do with the
way the public perceived-the
case,” says John Harkins,
who plays Chambers. Ed-
ward Herrmann co-stars as
Hiss and Peter Reigert as
Nixon.

COLLEGE PRANK...

Selkirk College authorites had to call upon services of helicop-

ter, in removing Volkswagen Beetle which was recently found hanging from outside
wall of library. Prank was thought to be connected with Selkirk College's

engineering program.

College removes car

By CasNews Staff

Selkirk College mainten-
ance staff were in for a bit of
a surprise earlier this month
when they showed up for
work only to find a Volks-
wagon Beetle hanging from,
the outside wall of the
library.

The car, which was discov-
ered on a Monday morning,
had been “parked” on the
side of the library since
sometime Saturday evening.

this year from May 6 to 12.

The annual vigil outside
the Trail Regional Hospital
will not be held on Mother's
Day as has been customary.

But this year will be on
May 6 to coincide with the
national campaign.

Plans are under way for
what is expected to be the
largest turnout ever for the
walk from the Cenotaph to
the hospital starting at 1:15
p-m., and for the time of

representing B.C.’s young
engineers and it is thought
that those responsible for the
prank are connected with
Selkirk College's engineering
program.

Last year students pulled a
similar practical joke when
they placed a truck on the
college's roof.

Sources close to the college
say one of the maintenance
staff was overheard com-
menting that the job was
done professionally, with no
damage and. no sign of haw.
the vehicle was raised into
position.

‘The vigil, which begins
outside the Trail Regional
Hospital at 2 p.m., will focus
on the abortion controversy,
and the 100 unborn children
who died in 1983.

“Nobody supports the con-
cept of abortion as a con-
traceptive, and the realiza-
tion that most abortions are

forever!

The same sources indicate
that the prank was com-
pleted in less than an hour by
eight men.

College authorities had
their hands full removing the
vehicle from its precarious
position.

The car could not be
lowered straight down be-
cause of some decorative
beams which jut out from the

Until now, companies wish.

Ald. Carl Henne, works
and services committee
chairman, suggested compan-
ies to be required to obtain a
key for the sewage lagoon
from city hall and have the
dump recorded.

Changes in policy came
about when Hans Kolman
requested permission to
dump septic tank effluent in
the lagoons.

He said Coleman Excava-
ting Ltd., which operates
Country Boy Service, pays
$15 for each load, and asked if
he could pay the same
amount.

Service city res-
idents $10 less than other
residents and suggested per-
haps because the lagoons are
city-owned, residents outside
the city should pay more.
However, Henne said the
$10 reduction doesn't really
benefit city residents be
cause everyone in the city is
on the sewage system.
“Nobody in the city is on a
septic tank,” he explained.
“We're all on sewer.”

children from Hobbit Hill

They visited and observed
the inner workings of the po-

the Super-Valu bakery, the
Clay Castle, the Robson

They topped off their visits
with lunch at Eastgate Gar-
