That led to a year at the spartan Portage rehabilita tion centre north of Mon treal, kicking his hard-drug habit cold-turkey and recon sidering his life. Many of his fans thought he might be through as he retreated to his country home, leaving behind an im- pressive collection of records. Albums like Touchez Du- bois in 1973 and Mellow Reg- gae in 1976 — the latter cut in London with Jamaican side- men — were landmarks in the days when Quebec rock was a major force in French youth culture of Canada.

The men first met at places ground for people of both races. “The club was pretty close to the wind. It was under police surveillance,” recalls Fugard, sitting with Mokae in a darkened restaurant near Times Square. “The authorities busted in on occasion to find out what was going on.

After making a start in Hollywood in the 1940s, he left the United States when he was blacklisted during the Washington probes of Senator Joseph McCarthy as an alleged Communist sympathizer. Greece, ancient and modern, has dominated his life since he met Mercouri in 1957 at the Cannes Festival in France. He was the director of Rififi, France's entry for the best film award. She played the title role in Stella, a Michael Cacoyannis film entered by Greece. “When we met, I immediately felt she had that kind of independence of spirit that I wanted for the Mary Magdalene role in a film I was planning, based on a novel by Nikos Kazantakis,” Dassin said. The film, He Who Must Die, was made on location in Crete, Kazantakis’ native Island. Then came Never on Sunday which catapulted Mercouri to stardom in the role of a golden-hearted prostitute working the waterfront in Athens’ port of Piraeus. Dassin played opposite her as an American tourist named Homer. Playwright, activist to speak "BUSINESS AVING BONDS REMAIN YMPETITIVE OTTAWA (CP) — Has the recent rise in interest rates got you thinking of cashing in your Canada Savings Keep in mind that they're still not a bad deal considering they're earning at least 8.5 per cent and are considered a source of instant cash. Should interest rates rise further and show signs of staying up, the government will almost certainly increase the fate of return on the bonds. Otherwise, a run on CSBs would drain Ottawa of funds it needs to finance its Unless that occurs, it doesn't i appear Ottawa will consider any increase in the 8.5-per-cent annual rate on this year’s bonds and those sold during the previous three years. For unmatured bonds purchased to those years, the rate is still an attractive 10.5 per cent and they wouldn't be affected by any increase in the rate on more-recent bond issues. Although interest rates have increased steadily since the 1985-86 bond campaign ended in November and more than $1 billion worth of bonds have been cashed in since then, the annual rate on outstanding bonds is still competitive and Ottawa still has a healthy $49 billion in While an increase in rates is a possibility, Wayne Clends an adviser to the firm of said “the probability isn't that great until we see at least another rise in interest rates.” The government tries to keep the rate on bonds competitive and has in the past increased the rate part way through the year. A comparison with other savings rates offered by banks and other financial institutions shows the current rate is still competitive, especially since the bonds can be eashed in anytime without penalty. ‘The question facing the government is whether the recent increase in interest rates is a short-term aberration or whether it's the start of 4 longer-term upward movement. Should it increase the rate on the bonds and should interest rates then fall, as some economists the debt-burdened government would be locked for the rest of the year into the higher interest payments on billions of dollars worth of that debt. Charles O'Hara, assistant chief of the department's debt management division, said the last time the government increased the CSB interest rate in mid-year was in May 1984 and the increase in rates at that time had been much sharper and more prolonged. At that time, interest rates had climbed by more than two percentage points from the time the bonds were sold, forcing Ottawa to bump the yield to 10.25 from 9.25 per cent. FURNITURE | WAREHOUSE “Drive a Little to Save a Lot” Company eyes overseas market By CHRIS MORRIS 8ST. STEPHEN, N.B. (CP) — From New Brunswick with The Ganong Brothers candy company in this southwestern New Brunswick town is hoping that message will be the beginning of a business success story that will spread love — or at least one of its most enduring symbols — the length and breadth of Europe. The 114-year-old company claims to have given the world such inspired confections as the lollipop (1895), the chocolate bar (1910) and the chicken bone (circa 1886) — a satiny cinnamon treat with a soft chocolate filling. Now, it is int another of its inventions, the heart-shaped chocolate box, to Europe. Ganongs recently shipped more than 10,000 valentine boxes to Dublin in an experimental venture the family business hopes will eventually open the entire European continent to one of the most profitable occasions for candy — the feast of St. Valentine on Feb. 14. Jim Purcell, the jovial vice-president of production at Ganongs and the man responsible for the company's valentine program, says Europeans are low-key when it comes to celebrating the day of love. Flowers are the popular token of affection and the heart-shaped valentine box is virtually unknown. The Ganong company hopes to change that. “People over there are looking for new ideas,” says love. “It's easy to sell love anyway, and that’s really what Valentine's Day is all about.” POPULAR GIFT Since then, the boxes have become synonymops with Valentine's Day. As soon as the Christmas and candies disappear from store shelves, out come the red, pink and gold heart-shaped chocolate boxes with their ribbons Gangong over the years. The late Arthur one of the 's first made late bars as a Purcell says Ganongs supplies at least 40 per cent of the Canadian market for heart-shaped boxes and they are the company’s biggest selling item nationally. Success of the Valentine trade has meant steady employment for the 210 workers in the rambling old brick factory because production is labor-intensive. “It gives us an opportunity to keep our people personal convenience for his hunting and fishing expeditions to replace the pocketful of chocolates he had carried previously. The ideas was too basic to patent and the family says it was first copied by the Lowney organization in the United States after a Lowney executive saw five-cent Ganong bars during a business trip to Montreal. Ganong describes itself as a medium-sized candymaker but jealously guards sales and profit figures. It turns out a wide array of sweets, ranging from expensive hand-dipped chocolates to jujubes sold in corner stores. For years the company lured some of North America’s top candy experts to this corner of New Brunswick — being “too sentimental, stubborn and perhaps a little too stupid” to move to larger centres, as one former chairman put it. Today, it has out-of-province distribution centres in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. gainfully ployed during a very difficult time,” says Pureell. “Let's face it, much of the candy business is for Christmas and after that, if we didn’t have Valentine's Day, then we would have a very difficult time maintaining our staff.” ‘The St. Stephen family has long been a major employer in the town of 5,000, which is also known these days as the home of the Star-Kist plant that closed indefinitely and laid off 400 workers when controversy over its shipments of tainted tuna arose in October. GOING IT DUTCH Ganongs’ overseas initiative was undertaken without government help. The company’s boxes now are on sale in large Irish cities and overtures are being made to the Duteh market. “Valentines are not an easy sell, and it's a competitive world out there, but it’s a nice thing to sell and for the most part people are prepared to try it,” Purcell said.
