Those headaches strike because so many people in B.C. don’t speak English, because so many come here and move around a gréat deal because there is a low vacancy, rate, says Chris Mousseau, Statistics Canada census information officer. But the national census takers grams designed to help over- come the undercount prob- Jem, Different languages will be spoken by census staff, as much as possible.

However, he said there is a law guaranteeing the con- fidentiality of cena infor- mation. “The act absolutely pro- hibits the disclosure of any information that would allow . an individual person or household to be identified.” Statistics Canada has in- troduced several new pro- coordinate the ethnic census effort, said. The high migration rate to B.C. also plays havoc with the census, said Mousseau. Adding to headaches for head counters, is the current low rental vacancy rate — many people living in illegal suites do not even receive a census form. Mousseau said the large number of B.C. people in the 19 to 24 age range has also traditionally been an area of undercount. Almost 4,000 people in British Columbia have been hired to carry out the census, The census, taken every five years, will cost $11.60 per household over four years. In Vancouver, a census form will be dropped off at every household starting May 25. People are asked to fill out the form on June 3 and mail it back to Statistics Canada. People living in small towns and rural areas will have the form picked up after June 3 by the person who delivered it. Boll weevil missing again ENTERPRISE, ALA.

BLOCKS SALE? In Los Angeles, Sally Adams, who goes by the name of Sally Savalas, says she lived with actor Telly Savalas for several years and gave up her career as an actress to care for the lollipop-sucking television police detective and their eight-year-old son Nicholas. Now, however, a judge has ruled that the star of the television series Kojak can sell a lucurious Bel-Air mansion where Adams has been living with Nicholas since 1976, Adams had asked a Superior Court to block sale of the house, valued at $3 million, pending outcome of her palimony suit against the actor, The suit, patterned on a 1979 claim won by Michelle Triola Marvin against actor Lee Marvin, was for half of all the property Telly acquired during the relationship, which Sally said lasted from 1969 to 1976. The couple never married, and Savalas says their relationship ended in 1973.

As a Freeman of the City, Wadds also has the right to be supported in City alms- houses should she fall on hard times and her two children, were they not now grown up, would have had preferential access to certain City schools, And if Wadds takes it into her mind to burn down the dockyards or commit a simi- lar act of vile treason, she would have the privilege of being hanged with a silken rope. Apart from these privi- leges, the honor also imposes concluding the quick cere. mony before the company nipped into an adjoining room for.a glass of madeira and a toast “to the youngest Freeman.” The freedom of the City dates back to medieval times and up to the last century, only Freeman had the right to trade and vote in the City.

Here, just a little over a week after Pope. John Paul was shot” is a recounting of the 16-month trek that took a Turkish fugitive to within pistol range of a ~ pontiff. Canadian Press © By Charles Hanley Mehmet Ali Agca, the bra- zen young killer who stalked a Pope, left a trail over three continents so faint and twist- -. ing — and sometimes so puzzling — that a platoon of Hetectives could take months to finally trace it. If they succeeded, .they ‘ might also uncover clues to. why Agea would have done what is alleged — tried‘to assassinate Pope John Paul. The trail begins two: au tumns ago, when the 21-ygar- old Agea, disguised as a sol- - dier, slipped out of a Turkish prison. It ends 16 months later in the afternoon light of ° Rome's St. Peter's Square, where the modishly dressed young “tourist” was seized as the suspect in a crime that shocked the world. % In between, said police and their sources, Agca’s odyssey took him to some- of ‘the pleasurable way stations of an Old World tour — a picturesque hill town in Italy, — Austrian alpine yalleys, a North African beach resort.
