Mag Looking for Photos Beautiful British Columbia magazine is looking for photo- graphs for a new special edition. The fourth volume in the series, “This Is . . . British Columbia”, to be published this fall, will be a recipe book produced in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture. It will contain recipes based on foods grown or gathered in British Columbia and photo- graphs of all areas of the province. A special stress will be placed on recipes of various ethnic origins. The photographs need not be of food or food-growing, the editors note. “A picture of an old log cabin could illustrate a recipe for prospector’s bread, or a photograph of a stream could be used with a recipe for trout,” said Beautiful British Columbia magazine editor Ber- nard Atkins. Photographs will be paid for at the magazine’s usual ‘rates. Entries should be color negative, 2-4 square or larger. Only proof prints or enlarge- ments should be sent. If the photograph is accepted, the negative will then be request- ed, Entries should be sent to: The Editor, Beautiful British Columbia M: i Tourism people with the opportunity of using history, social studies, natural sciences and art to communicate their ideas and perceptions to others.” Groups of one to three students, sponsored by a school or. organization, will be asked to submit written proposals by April 10 for the construction of a museum exhibit on the theme, “Know Canada, Know Your- self.", These proposals will be evaluated and semi-finalists will then construct exhibits based on their submissions. Approximately 350 win- ning finalists, about 40 from British Columbia, will be select- ed to travel across Canada, visiting museums and other places of interest, for three weeks in the summer of 1978.

This year we decided to nod ‘to the people seated on either side and say, “Peace.” No handshaking, : Yeu would not believe the dirty looks we got ast Sunday from so-called Christians. When we tried to explain about our experience with the flu last year they gave us the back of their eads, On the way out I heard one of the “neighbors” say something about “those oddballs” (meaning us, of course), I am very upset. Will you kindly express an opinion? —Trouble In Our Pew Dear Trouble: People in normal good health should not get the flu from saying “Peace” and shaking hands with a couple of people. I suggest you get plenty of rest, eat properly and do as your priest says. * * . Dear Ann Landers: What can I do about a couple of people, who, \.when I meet them casually on the street and say, “How are you?"—they really tell me? For example, I have been tied up for as bag ng ta detells.about their recon ‘ mother-in-law problems and bad business deals, |. Why don't\they realize that “How are you?” is a standard | greeting and not an invitation to unload problems? How can people be so insensitive? Every time it happens te me I am amazed all ‘over again, Maybe if you print this letter they will get the hint. 2 : : —Held By The Lapel -Bear Heid: Here's your letter but don't expect it to help. The ; people who are guilty never think you mean them. I do have some advice that might come in handy for you, however. If you don't jwant to know how people are, don't’ask them. Change your standard greeting to, “Good to see you,” or some other affirmative statement, 2 { e 8 Dear Ann: I am a registered nurse who has worked hard all my life. My husband ran off 10 years ago and I have tried to raise three daughters myself. Sixteen months ago, the eldest divorced her husband because he molested one of their little girls. Three months later, the youngest (age 17) turned up pregnant and had to have an abortion, It later came out that she was entertaining her boyfriend while I worked the night shift. Last week my middle daughter told me she is in love with a married man. I realize all this sounds like a soap opera, but 1 swear every word of it is true. What have I done to deserve all this trouble? How can I convince these girls to lead respectable lives? Everyone will think they are tramps. Please print an answer, Ann. I am ashamed to sign my name or give an address, S —Heartsick Mother Dear Mother: First, get over the idea that people who have trouble “deserve” it. Nothing could be further from the truth. No one knows for certain why some children turn out well and others seem to lose their way. You did your best under difficult ir Now stop punishing yourself. Your daughters must take responsibility for their own lives. ‘There is no way you can “convince” them of anything. Good luck to you dear—and to them. : * * * 2 Dear Ann Landers: What do other church congregations do about a frustrated opera star who sings off-key,’drowns everyone out and holds the notes much too long so she will be heard above everyone else? F : Noone wants totell the woman that some people are going to , stop coming to church if she doesn't pipe down. This is a real problem, Ann. Do you have any suggestions? ‘ —HLR.S. (British Columbia) Dear HRS. of B.C.: Anyone who would stop attending church services because some lady sings off-key must be looking for a good excuse to sleep later on Sunday mornings. I suggest a little heavier concentration on love, charity, » brotherhood, forbearance, patience, and generosity of spirit. * * * Dear Ann Landers: [ am writing to you about a personal gripe. I just heard a song on the radio called “Short People." It starts out, “Short people got no reason to live. They got little hands, little eyes,” etc., etc. It’s a cruel putdown of people because of their size. If anyone wrote such a song about black people or Italian people or Jewish people it would be rightfully banned. Why is this terrible thing allowed on the air? I will never buy another record or go toa concert given by the guy who wrote that song. Am I too “touchy” as some people say? Td like your views. é —Short And Disgusted Dear Short and Disgusted: Move over for another short person, I haven't actually heard the song but I understand the composer's intent was a humorous putdown of prejudice and bigotry in general. Apparently he was a bit too subtle for some of us little folks. tn case you caught the TV special ‘Fifi jusic,’ you not only caught a good tribute to ‘our kind of music but also the debut of a young lady named Carlene arter, : Carlene Carter Although Miss Carter has a Jot of catching up to do before she has the experience of her famousimom June Carter Cash she already shows more stage presence. Carlene is the daughter of 'y Years ofCountry X Merle Haggard And speeting of Sir Tubb, he has Just celebrated his 64th birthday and has signed a recording contract with First Generation Records of Nash- ville. in fact, according to First Generation Records Pre- sident.Pete Drake, the record company was started mainly for Tubb and its primary pur- pose is to keep traditional country music alive. And we all know ‘there is no one in country music more tradition- af than Ernest Tubb, _ June and Cari Smith. Before 4 she became Mrs. Johnny Cash, June Carter was Mrs. Car! Smith. June & Johnny Cash Carlene has signed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records and if WB puts the energy and expertise behind Miss Carter that has been put behind their other acts, we'll be hearing much more of this talented lady. As for the rest of ‘Fifty Years of Country Music,’ it was for the most part great and the rest of it could have been better. . 1 don't know what could have been left out but another hour or so of the Merle Hag- gard and the Texas Playboys Plus an extra vibe or three from Ernest Tubb would have made a good show even better! Ernest Tubb _ The new release is Tubb’s first single in more than three years and is entitled ‘Some- times | Do' and ‘Half My Heart's in Texas.’ Drake says he intends to try to help keep country music's identity and Nashville’s identity as the number one country music center of the world. Just for the record, dropme a.note as to your preference. Do you agree with Drake in keeping country music tradi- tional or letting it ail. go pop? Drop me a note at Box 5944, Texarkana, Tex., 75501 and lll forward to Drake. Who knows? You just might have a vote in country - music's future! And to close this chapter on Ernest Tubb, you might be interested to know that he worked 229 days on the road in 1977 and is currently in the midst of a 40-day road tour. Not bad for 64 years old!
