Death Precludes Punishment A Soviet meat dealer who doctored receipts for 20 years without getting caught has died a millionaire, The newspaper Sotsialisti- cheskaya Industriya reported on the case of Feodor Lvovich Balin, a Ukranian who died while under investigation for large-scale fraud, “His simple human heart couldn't endure the constant nervous tension of his endless search for profit,” the article said. With the money, Balin was able to purchase a mansion, though he also lived in a two-room apartment with his daughter for the sake of appearance. He owned two cars and his refrigerators were filled with expensive products. He hoarded jars of caviar, and in his garage were saus- ages and smoked fish, as well as a bag of coffee beans — a much prized item in Moscow. He wrapped bundles of rubles in newspapers and gave them to his maid, electrician and friends who helped him hide his “repulsive passion.” Though Balin’s neighbors knew he was living beyond his means, it took 20 years before authorities found him out.

The only trouble is the eurrency is virtually worthless. After the First World War, inflation was rampant in Ger- many. So bad, in fact, that it wasn’t uncommon for the value of the mark to drop by half each day. Things got so bad that in November, 1923, the German government’ introduced new marks and it took 1,000,000,000 — that’s one billion — old marks to make one new mark, accord- ing to Gret Rademacher, West - Germany's vice-consul in Ed- monton. In effect, the old currency wasn't worth anything. “There was landslide in- flation,” said Rademacher. “New money was being printed He said the station allowed J the film to run for about an hour until it became clear it didn’t measure up to the company's standards.

NUMIS (c) 1979 Toronto Sun Syndicate ERS GAME 1 2 Last fall, we had thousands of pheasants in our main upland bird areas, This spring, some- thing like seven out of 10 are dead. That's a high mortality, but there's nothing unusual about it. It happens every year. For whether they're hunted or not, about 70 per cent of our pheasants never make it from one year to the next. The same thing happens to other game birds, This means that most of the birds we hunt in the fall will have hatched out in the spring. For pheasants, three periods in the spring are critical. The first is edrly April through mid-May when cover is growing in our dry areas, where most pheasants live. Not enough water at this time puts HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: Using the clues, fill in every square. Some squares contain totals.

Ax This week's answers at a handicap for the rest of the year, for they won't have the food or cover they need. Too much water is better at this period than not enough. The second critical period Expert Says Children Need More Arts A teaching expert says most North American schools are not teaching students to use enough of their brain power. This could be partly reme- died by more emphasis on the arts in the first three grades, said Elaine de Beauport, direc- tor of the highly advanced Mead School in Greenwich, Conn. : “Our experience shows the arts help children learn other academic subjects," Mrs. de Beauport said, Mead School and Dr. Mary Schmitt, a neurophysiologist, found that youngsters who had trouble with such subjects as math and language could be taught to exceed standards by the time they are in the: fifth grade, is around the last couple of weeks in May, when most pheasants hatch, Too much rain at this Lime will kill many of the newly-hatched chicks. The final critical period is the first couple of weeks in June, when the young birds are getting started in life, learning to forage on their own. Too much rain here cuts survival. If everything works out right in these three periods, which stretch over two-and-a- half months, we can have a bumper crop of pheasants in the fall, even if there weren't a lot of birds the previous fall and hunting was poor, On the other hand, we can. have a bumper crop one fall, with many birds going into the winter, but have poor hunting the next fall, if Mother Nature doesn’t co-operate during the spring. An exceptionally bad win- ter or an especially mild one can change this picture to a certain degree, but the spring hatch and survival of the young is still the most important factor in how many pheasants we have each fall, 2 ee The last week or soin May, through mid-June is the best time of the entire year for bass fishing. These “exotics”, as Some call them, move into the shallows at this time to spawn and are easier to reach. Floating plugs that dive . when retrieved are great. You ean work them slowly a few inches under the surface or reel fast and have them dive deeper. A good way is to let them lie on the surface after casting until all the ripples vanish. Then twitch your rod tip. That often brings a hard strike. Spoons or spinners are also great. You can keep them close to the surface or work them deep. Bass don't have the | slaying power of trout, but their first strike is hard and * they're a great fish. every day and toward the end devaluation was so bad that a mark would be worth half of what it was the day before." Recalls Schmidt: “If you were lucky and moved quickly, 100 billion marks could buy a package of cigarettes, So how much are Schmidt's marks worth today to collec- tors? Not much, according to a spokesman for The Mint, an Edmonton coin dealer, “The majority of the old marks are worth from 60 cents to $2.50, although a few rare ones are worth more,” he-said. “But even they aren't worth an excessive amount.” 75-Year-Old Becomes Pretty Not only is 76-year-old Katherine Ward a sharp-eyed ‘nursery operator, she's be- coming a pretty fair detective.

Family Support Worker Helps Improve the Home Situation A family support worker can often help a family in assisting both a child, foster parents and natural parents to, maintain ‘communications ‘and improve the home situation. Family support. workers are hired by the Ministry of Human Resources’ to provide emergency based support serv- ices to families in crises. There * are now 265 such positions in the province. The goal of the family support worker is to keep the family together. In cases where ~this.is not possible, .thé- family «>: Thi support worker may be assign- ed to help the family resolve its problems and reunite. One example of this situa- tion is the following case. A 18-year-old boy was well on his way to becoming delinquent. He had no friends, and so tried to impress his peers by delin- quent activities. Still friendless, he attempted suicide. - Upon the recommendation of the family support worker, the social worker removed the child to a foster home, which helped the boy stop his self- destructive cycle of behavi irotigh ‘counselling- sessio1 : ily’s efforts to deal with the ‘ situation and helps them to understand how their behavior affects their son's delinquency. The boy is now able to visit his home weekly. He no‘longer skips school and is staying away from delinquent activ- ities. With the ‘support of his father, he has joined a cadet group. The family support worker hopes that soon the boy will be able to return to his family. ‘ _, In such a way. can families be supported and their, growth the worker supports the fam- ng; rs even when: the family is not together. 40 Corner Pine & Columbia Dad's Day is Sunday and Castlegar Drug Is ready.

If you do; everything else will go down the drain, even if your selections are: correct.’ Harry Egner, publisher of Bill McGaw was having a {field ‘day. “How does it work?" he asked. “The gamblers at Broad and ,Locust think I've got great Joe Louis, a 16 to 1 favorite over an aging Walcott, could jose. Louis was knocked down twice by the shifty, ring-wise ‘Lousy fight,' McGaw muttered. ‘l predicted it,’ I said, something going with the odds makers. Listen, Omarr, what is going.to happen when you're wrong and the big boys lose a bundle on your prediction?” Bill wasn't ‘smiling. Welterweight contender Fritzie Zivic, learning that I had predicted he would lose a close decision to Philadelphia's Bob Montgomery, demanded: “Who is this zombie they call Omarr? If I can find where's he's sitting, I'll knock Mont- gomery right in his lap.” Zivic, of a fighting Pitts- burgh family, was a rough, tough, broken-nosed, fierce loo- king slugger. He was favored to defeat Montgomery, a mild- mannered boxer. s Thad called the outcome on 16 ‘consecutive matches — sometimes naming the round in which the fight would end in a knockout. MeGaw had reported that I forecast a close contest, with mostly in-fighting, the decision going to Montgomery. “If I were you,” McGaw said, “I wouldn't let Fritzie see where you're sitting.” 1 watched as Montgomery . Punched to the body, ham- mering ‘out a” close, 10-round decision. And each time. the scowling Zivic looked in my direction, I turned aside. Bob: Montgomery was to seek my astrological counsel on his boxing career — and he was to become lightweight cham- pion of the world. Another boxer who was to become lightweight title holder got angry when I predicted he would lose to Montgomery. But ‘later Ike Williams and his manager, Connie McCarthy, wanted me to forecast ‘some victories for them, as if making the prediction would assure the outcome. A few years later, just alter the war, I received national publicity when I anal- yzed the first Joe Louis — - Jersey Joe Walcott fight. The wire services took note of my “outrageous” forecast that the seu fy ‘ Special Sand © etc. Also, ‘DELIVER aya 365-55 19 226-7272. Walcott. Louis got up — and it appeared he had lost the fight. He got a controversial decision. “Louis fought second-rate fight — not the Louis of old,” the headlines screamed. I had detailed, "months in advance, what would happen. I tried using astrology to pick horse race winners — and it worked. But I preferred to stay away from the horses, A Bergman, an exec: utive with the Evening Bulletin of Philadelphia, advised, “Lis- ten, young man, go ahead and pick the winners — by astrolo- gy. or numbers or luck or whatever — but don't get personally hooked. If you do, everything else will go down the drain, even if your selec- tions are correct.” I followed Bergmans counsel. A Later, investigative repor- ter and author Jess Stearn would write glowingly about my “uncanny” ability to select horses in the money. Still later, the national magazine Argosy would issue a challenge. I was to pick horses. The magazine would report to its readers on my success or ‘failure. Argosy, in its May, 1974 issue, published the following: CERTIFIED STATEMENT This is to certify that I, ‘We've Got Plenty,’ B.C. Tells U.S. Tourists . Tourism B.C. is taking concerted action to ensure that U.S. travellers are “fully a- ware" there is no gasoline shortage in the’ province, says Tourism and Small” Business Development Minister Elwood eitch. Veitch said- his ministry has sent a message, “Don't Sell British Columbia Short", to | 16,000 travel agents and mem- bers of the American Auto- mobile Association. The direct-mail piece states three reasons why U.S, travellers should consider B.C. as their vacation destination this year: there is no gasoline shortage in B.C.; the Canadian dollar is down, which means that the U.S. dollar is worth from 16 to 18 per cent more in Cariada; and new U.S. customs regulations allow an increase in the value of duty-free goods U.S. residents can take home. Elaborating on the latter point, Veitch said U.S. visitors staying less than 48 hours can now each take home $25 worth of goods, an increase of $10, while after 48 hours it becomes $800 per person, up by, $200. Argosy ine, have wit- “nessed the use of Omarr's star system for beating the horses for one week, and attest to the fact that those editors so following it won money. Furthermore, I cer- tify that they made Thad passed another test. But I had not been neglecting the writing, the studies, the journalism. I sensed that the “Bulletin executive's advice was on.target, I did not want to be tied down the track, not any more than I wanted to give every day from different tracks throughout the coun- try and bet accordingly. Signed, HARRY EGNER Publisher private But, every once in a while, when I wanted to lavish favors on a lady or to. be extravagant | for myself, I would work out the horses and collect my money. Next week in the second part of the series, renowned:. astrologer Sydney Omarr details his desire to be just another good soldier. But higher authorities are aware of his special talent, and he is sent to the South Pacific for highly unusual duty.
