Canada took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Pat Cubellis scored on a header from a corner by Bryan Bullen. Dave Phillips made it 2-0 in the 38th minute when he converted an excellent pass by Hooper, who gave Canada a three-goal lead in the 52nd minute. The Swiss broke the shut- out in the 72nd minute on a 30-yard shot. . . BOSTON (AP) — Officials at the Boston Athletic Asso- ciation say only 5,000 en- tries have been received for the the Boston Marathon, which means the race next month may have the smallest field since 1980. The greatest number of entries in the Boston Mara thon was 7,900 in 1979. The qualifying times were tough ened after that race.

I'm going to show them everything I've got.” Meanwhile, Cincinnati right-hander Mario Soto, who has historically struggled in spring training, gained his third victory in three spring-training outings with his longest and best peformance so far. Soto allowed just two hits in four innings, striking out three and not giving up a walk. “Soto is in midseason form,” Cincinnati manager Pete Rose said. “He's throwing the ball really well. “They tell me he usually doesn't have good springs. That's not true this year.” ‘The Reds as a team are having a good spring as well. Their victory Tuesday was their fifth in a row, giving them an 8-2 record. “You like to win, and that’s what we're doing,” Rose said. “We're getting good pitching and good hitting. When you get that combination, you usually win.” The only other team with a better record in spring training is Toronto Blye Jays, who are 10-1 following a 4-1 triumph Tuesday over Pittsburgh Pirates. Miteh Webster's two-run triple with one out in the eighth inning broke a 1-1 tie for Toronto, and he later came home on a single by Fred McGriff.

However, help may be on the way as some German Men of Letters are talking about striking them down. With at least 78 rules governing the capitalization of nouns, they feel some relaxation will help make the language easier to learn and do away with ambiguity. One of the problems is that practically any word in German can be turned into a noun. - An innocent mistake in capitalization can dramatically change the meaning of a German sentence. The most celebrated example is “Ich habe in Berlin liebe Genossen,” meaning “I have dear comrades in Berlin.” By capitalizing the “L” in “liebe” and writing the “G" in “Genossen” in lower case, the same sentence means: “I have enjoyed love in Berlin.” An expert wrote as long ago as 1908 that German rules for capitalization were hazardous to the mental and physical health of children. WRITES ESSAY The experts have quibbled for decades about how to streamline the complex grammar and punctuation rules with which many Germans who, as Mark Twain did in an 1880 essay on the | have found “washed about, hither and thither, in the most helpless way.” But far-reaching reform has been repeatedly held up by the most peculiar and controversial aspect of written German — capitalizing every noun. Officials from German language institutes in Wiesbaden and Mannheim met recently at the Conference of State MISSING CHILDREN could help locate them. thing,” worthwhile.” not found but the idea mus! children.” disadvantage.” “They don't feel the advantage is worth the “I think (the use of photos) would be a wonderful Jeffrey's mother, Denise, said in an interview from the family’s home in Slave Lake, Alta. “From a parent's point of view, if one child is found it would be But the National Dairy Council, and almost all dairies in the country, have decided against the use of children’s photos, saying authorities have suggested the system not be used. The use of photos on milk cartons was started last September in the United States by one dairy that used photos of two missing children in Iowa. The children were about 650 dairies in the United States are using photos. “We're going to continue using photos,” Erikson, president of Anderson Erikson Dairies in Des Moines, Iowa, the first dairy to do so. “If nothing else, it has made the people aware of the problem of abducted said Jim Kempton Matte, president of the Canadian Dairy Council, said in an interview that the council, taking police advice, is recommending dairies use safety messages about child abduction on cartons. WEIGHS BENEFITS “We're responding to their concerns,” he said about consultations with the RCMP and other authorities. Photos could help EDMONTON (CP) — Jeffrey Dupres has been missing almost five years and his parents feel that having his and other missing children’s photos on milk cartons those in the United States where many milk cartons are used by dairies across the country and the missing-child problem is greater. Canadian police say 90 per cent of missing children are with a parent and a high percentage of the remainder are runaways, Matte said, adding that most missing children cases in the country are solved. Of 2,050 children reported missing in the Ottawa area in 1983 only two or three had not been found, Matte said. Dupres pointed out, however, that even children nabbed by a parent not granted custody in a divorce settlement are missing from the parent that has legal custody. Pat Foster, head of Child Find in Ontario, was disappointed that the national dairy council had decided not to recommend the use of photos but could understand why the decision was made. RISKS ABUSE Foster said children abducted by a parent who was not granted custody by a court can be mistreated, often in a bid by one parent to get back at another for something. they're not always safe with a Foster said. Cathy Morgenstern, national chairman of Child Find Canada Inc., said she understands the problems but the group should at least have been consulted before a “The fact remaii non-custodial parent, decision was made.

Erikson said. Culture Ministers in Bonn to discuss new prop for ridding written German of all those capital letters. Supporters of reform believe capitalizing nouns in modern German makes it increasingly difficult for both Germans and igners to learn the | The weekly news magazine Der Spiegel remarked last year that even the 18th century German poet Johann wolfgang von Goethe “would not have tested well” under today's regulations. The burden the capitalization issue creates for German schoolchildren was recognized in 1908 by Konrad Duden, one of the authors of the Duden lexicons codifying the language at the turn of the century. “The writing of nouns with a capital letter damages the mental and physical health of our young people through useless burdening of the memory, as it robs the schools of valuable time and the child of the will to learn and joy in doing so,” Duden wrote. Still, the Wiesbaden group favors only partial reform. For example, it would allow German nouns to be written in lower case when they are used as adverbs.

Maloney Pontiac Buick Columbia Ave... Castlegar married exemption. All three tax exemptions would be replaced with re fundable tax credits — tax credits that are paid even to poor people who don’t pay taxes at all. Terry Hunsley, executive director of the Ottawa-based research group, says the proposals would bring more low-income families above the property line and would make the tax system fairer. Tax exemptions reduce the amount of gross income that is subject to tax. They provide maximum benefits to people in the top federal tax bracket of 34: per cent, smaller benefits to people in lower brackets and no ben efits at all to people who are so poor that they don't have taxable incomes. Tax credits aren't necessarily related to income. PAYS BENEFITS Under the existing refun- dable child tax credit, for example, Ottawa is paying all families with net incomes of less than $26,330 a flat $367 a year for each of their children under 18. Benefits are re- duced and eventually dis- appear as family income rises above $26,330. Here's how the tax system worked last year and the changes proposed by the council: e Parents were able to reduce their taxable incomes by $710 for each child under 18 using the child tax exemp- tion. The council would con vert that amount to a tax credit of roughly $200 — an amount that could be added to the existing child tax credit. © Married people whose spouses have little or no income could reduce their taxable incomes by $3,470 using using the married exemption. That would be converted to a tax credit of about $1,000. e@ Single parents could use the equivalent-to-married exemption of $3,470 rather than the child exemption ‘of $710 for one of their children. That would also be changed to a credit of $1,000. Hunsley said the proposals would make the tax system fairer by redistributing ben- efits from rich to poor. The extent of the redistribution would be greater than that proposed in a government discussion paper. wadWNs 01 HadWwne [EE] INFOR, SAVINGS OIL FILT FILTERS spin on filters to fit most North American cars and 69 ; , 43 each light trucks.
