DELIGHTFUL IN ROLE

eee stars as bag lady

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. (AP) — Lucille Ball, the
queen of comedy, says that when she was asked to to play abag
lady in a CBS movie she didn’t think of it as her first
dramatic role on television.

“It was just a lady who interested me and I wanted to
work with that director, George Schaefer,” Ball said. “CBS
wanted me to do somthing and I had the time. I really didn’t
think about it being anything dramati

Ball, who was a comedy fixture on TV from 1951 to 1974,
stars as an elderly, scrappy bag lady named Flora in Stone
Pillow. Ball is delightful in the role.

Stone Pillow, which CBS will broadcast Tuesday night,
is a touching, poignant story, but it also has its funny
moments.

Flora is symbolic of the homeless. Many cannot receive
assistance because they don’t have an address, and are
unable to get an address because they have no money. One
thing Flora does have in abundance is pride and dignity, and
she lets no one trample on that.

“We filmed it last summer in New, York, and it was so
hot”, Ball said. “I had to wear several layers of clothes. With
the wig and the hat and the sweater and coat and the garlic
around my neck, I really looked like a bag lady.

“People on the street didn’t even look at me, which is
what people do with bag ladies. I fit in with the scenery.”

The heat was hard on Ball, who is 7.

“I lost 23 pounds during the filming,” she said. “I came
home, passed out and went into the hospital. I was suffering

Ball also tore a tendon in her right arm wrestling with
the heavy shopping © cart she had to push around.

eet

Ball a'so tore tendon in her right arm wrestling with the
heavy shopping cart she had to push around.

The script was written by Rose Leiman Goldemberg,
who wrote last season's The Burning Bed.

“I wasn't going to be a beggar,” Ball said. “I wanted to
be independent. I decided she was a vegetarian because it’s
healthier and easier to get. _

“I'd need just one carrot. I'd cajole some produce man.
I'd get a carrot or maybe a lemon. Once, I had to swallow an
egg. It worked the first time, thank goodness. It didn't drool
down my chin.

“I also devised her makeup and costume. I gave some
thought to that and to what her eccentricities would be,
what she would have=in the shopping cart.

“I thought of the things she'd keep in her apron and in
her pockets. She has a toothbrush, a broken mirror. She had
a broken pair of glasses I taped together.”

She said she named Flora after her grandmother,
Florabelle Orcutt.

Ball said the clear liquid Flora drinks from a bottle is
only water. In the movie, Flora is not ‘above shocking
by into believing it's stronger.

“I found in one of my shows that I could drink fast and
funny from a bottle,” she said. “So I brought this old,
extra-large bottle with me to New York. I keep the bottle in
the car for water when I drive to Palm Springs.

“It's important that people see me filling the bottle with
water.

“Then, when someone comes along and sees me
snigging away, I'd hold up the bottle and say, ‘New York
water — best darn water in the world.”

“People would think I was * gunaling Bin”

BUSINESS

By TONY VAN ALPHEN

TORONTO (CP) — Whether in New York City for a
chat with the ‘bosses, in Toronto for high-pressure
. bargaining, or delivering a speech to workers in a labor
hall, Bob White has lived up to his reputation as
organized labor's big ace in: Canada.

White pulled off another feat this week when he led.
his bargaining team to a contract at Chrysler before
negotiators could achieve a deal in the’ United States.

The deal marked the first time in Chrysler's 60-year
history C. da before
-Americans in the same bargaining year.

It surprised many industry watchers but reinforced
the impression White, head of United Auto Workers
Canada, is labor's most valuable player in the country.

_ While other union leaders ~sometimes take rigid

in d , the energetic
50-year-old White has been able to persuade both the
public and his across the ining table
that his workers’ demands are entirely justified.
DOES HOMEWORK
“He projects an image of being very reasonable but

hopped on a plane to New York City the next day.

It was the second time in three years the two met
face-to-face to try to settle a dispute. In 1982 Iacocca
attempted to bend White during a 5'/2-week strike after
U.S.: workers had settled, but he wouldn't budget.

‘This time Iacocca could afford to be generous in view
of balance sheets showing record profits. He offered a
“$1,000 special payment to workers and pensioners if
White and company negotiators could settle.

- Within, hours, White was back in Toronto and”

bargaining non-stop through the night to reach an accord.
ET ATTENTION

The next day, White was at. Windsor Raceway in
front of members of the biggest Chrysler local explaining
the deal. He later received support from 97.2 per cent of
them.

Arvid Jouppi, an industry analyst in Detroit, said
White's firmness and his members’ high regard for him
made it wiser to settle with Canada first rather than risk
the possibility of one-upmanship by the militant
Canadians after a U.S. deal.

company chairman Lee Iacocca surfaced and White

commitment and discipline.
“I don’t think I did anything out of the ordinary,” he
said.
‘The Chrysler deal follows the bold break of the

White refused to-accept the U.S. auto contract pattern.

CANADIAN BANKS

Strong will survive

MONTREAL (CP) — The recent spate of banking
troubles in Canada will likely result in the strong banks
getting stronger as well as possible higher interest rates for
consumers, some. economists predict.

“There is an important change taking place in the
financial markets in this country,” says Earl Bederman,
vice-president and chief economists at Canada Permanent
Mortgage Corp.

The potential for growth among financial institutions
that existed in the 1970s when times were more prosperous
is lessening and will result in the demise of some of the less
efficient institutions, Bederman said in an interview this
week.

Among those which have already collapsed are two
small western banks, the Alberta-based Canadian Commer-
cial and the Northland.

And° another troubled bank, the
Mercantile Bank of Canada, has just been rescued by the
National Bank of Canada. Mercantile accepted a merger
agreement because of liquidity problems caused by
withdrawal of deposits after the government announced it
was closing Canadian Commercial and putting Northland
under curatorship.

In the future, Bederman says, “only the strong will
survive.”

Se say the trend is bad news for consumers and small
businesses who already feel alienated dealing with large

banks. They also say a reduction in competition could mean ~

higher borrowing costs.

“The innovations tend to come from upstarts who don't
play by-the traditional rules,” says Robert Kerton, chairman
of the economic issues committee of the Canadian
of and a p of at the
University of Waterloo.

“With the six major banks becoming more powerful, we
can expect increased monopolistic behavior.”

As a result, Kerton says, “there will be less incentive to
compete and that will mean higher. interest rates for

The top six Canadian banks control more than 50 per
cent of the financial assets in the country and more than 90
per cent of the $214.2 billion in domestic bank assets.

Because of their size, the survival of Canada’s six major

banks —Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Canadian-

Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Nova Scotia,
Toronto-Dominion Bank and National Bank of Canada — is
almost guaranteed. ~

the mortgage-lending market.
