current compilation of

the most peculiar things
people do, edited by Chuck
Shepherd.

Proof that true stories are
weirder than made-up
stories.

--Lucille Conyers Cooper, owner
of a building in Queens, N.Y., which
burned down with two homeless
trespassers sleeping in it, is now
being sued by the deceased men's
relatives. The relatives, who did not
support the homeless men while*they
were alive, must under state law
prove that they were financially
harmed by the men's deaths.

--A New York Appeals court in
January threw out the last vestiges of
a $13 million judgment against the
New York Transit Authority that
arose when a homeless man and his
brother tumbled off a station platform
and started running down the track,
where the homieless man was killed
on the electrified "third rail."
Included in the original judgment
was $9,000, dutifully awarded by the
jury to relati of the hi less man

ARIES — March 21/April 20
Try not to be too critical of other
people's choices in life. What's right
for one may not be right for another.
That's what makes life interesting,
after all. Keep this in mind when
giving advice to a friend in need
People from your past are wondering
about you; maybe it’s time to write
some letters

TAURUS - April 2U/May 21

The little things in life always
seem to make you happy, and this
week there will be a lot of little
things. You will be very content to
spend quiet evenings with family
and friends. A new hobby will pro
Vide a creative outlet and will take
up much of your time. An impor
tant phone call will come at the
week's end.

GEMINI - May 22/June 21
Your popularity will be increased in
many dimensions this week. Your
friends and close associates will
show increased energy and initiative
A relative of your Own generation
can prove to be shrewd in some mat
ter of great importance to you. You
wilt be delighted with the outcome.
CANCER -~ June 22/July 22
A happy, ending to a-long-term prob
lem will be a very exciting event for
you. It's time to evaluate your future
and define your long-term goals
Take some time out to let loved ones
know how you feel. You ‘coutt be
caught in the middle of a domestic
quarrel. Try to remain impartial
LEO - July 23/August 23
Impulse buying can be a fatal error
for you this week. Keep your credit
cards under lock and key! If you've
been neglecting diet and exercise,
this would. be a good time to start a
fitness program. Kind words toa
troubled friend will be greatly appre
ciated, Make it a point to visit an

older relative.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
‘Your social schedule may start to get
a bit overwhelming this week
Remember, you can't be in two
places at one ume! A strange twist of
fate could put you back in the arms
of a past love. Make sure you know
what you're getting yourself into!

collection and disposal is regu-
lated by the municipal govern-
ment. We need more regulations
in this area. In Austria, as of this
year, it is illegal to sell packag-
ing that isn't recyclable. In the
state of Massachusetts, they are
considering adding a_6¢ tax on
every non-recyclable package.
Three cents would be waived if
the package was recyclable, or if
it was made of recyclable materi-
als. If the package was totally
reusable, the entire tax would be
waived.
Degradable Plastics
Actually, degradable plastics

sound better than they are. Corn-
starch is added to polyethylene
to make the plastic degradable.
Bacteria eat the cornstarch and
the plastic is broken down into
pieces that you can't see and
another chemical helps provide
oxygen to the bacteria. The parti-
cles left by the process are to big
to be digested by organisms.
This kind of plastic is extremely
hard to recycle by interfering in
the technology and it cannot be
mixed with other plastics. Light
sensitive substances are also
added to some plastics but cause

Your deci king abilities are at
an all-time high (something odd for
Libra) as new opportunities seem to
be cqming your way. A major
change will be happening in your
life and it could mean travel er tem-
porary re-location to another coun
try. Set your sights high!

HOROSCOPES

January 10-16

SCORPIO — Oct 24/Noy 22
Friends may give you a needed lift,
especially after the 12th. The cos
mic blueprint of life has you in a
more artistic, cultured light, with a
greater sense of fashion, color and
design. Restore your inspirations for
a clearer and better picture of your-
self. A change in diet could give
you more energy, Stay away from
fried foods.

SAGITTARIUS — Nov 2¥Dec 21
Over the weekend you may be sensi
tive to cool rece; on from people;
you may find others depressed and
unusually quiet because they have a
lot on their minds. From Tuesday
onwards is things should warm with
others, and there could be unexpect.
ed money or gifts” Things are start
ing to go your way.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
You will probably find that original
ideas can improve your financial
outlook. You will be more in touch
with friends this week. Social gath
erings and phone calls seem to be on
an increase. Although it's still early
in the year, you may be talking of
travel. You will be intrigued by a
Taurus of the opposite sex.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Your relationship with an Aquarius
of the opposite sex will take a seri
ous tum. This could mean a stronger
relationship or even marriage plans
You will be able to overcome some
of the-obstacles you've faced within
the past year. A visit with an old
friend will lift your spirits. Set aside
time for creative pursuits.

PISCES — Feb 19/March 20
This will be a good time to make
additions to your home or to pur-
chase some luxury item that you
have been thinking of for some time
If you've recently had a failure at
work, feeling sorry for yourself isn’t
going to do you any good..A posi-
tive attitude will help you through a
tough-ime. Be grateful to those who
have helped you along

YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK
The next 12 months:

It's never been hard for you to set a
career goal and follow it through
with drive and persistence. This year
is much the same. You will surprise
yourself with what you can accom-
plish. On the romantic front, howev-
er, there could be some problems. If
you're honest with yourself and-with
loved ones, things should go
smoothly. However, if you're dis-
honest, you could destroy a valuable
relationship. It's totally up to you
