"By JANICE LAVALLEE

WINNIPEG (CP) — When‘ Linden Soles ‘wrote a song
for his dying grandmother two years ago, he had no idea: it
would become a song of hope for: terminally-ill childrean
across Canada.:

Soles, a Winnipeg television news.announcer, originally
penned The Rainbow Song for his grandmother Sally White,
who died. of cancer in 1983. s

But today, the five-verse tune is the theme song for The
Rainbow Society Inc., a non- pron, organization that grants
wishes to dying children. _

Last week, more than 40 Winnipeg singers, including
well-known children’s entertainer Fred. Penner and folk
singer Heather Bishop, donated their time to record the
song at Century 21 Studios.

Proceeds from the sale of the record will be given to the
Rainbow Society.

Michelle Harrison, who founded the society with two
friends_in_1983,_said_the studio_time,_as_well _as_the
production costs for the record, were all donated.

EAT ALBERT
- 891 POUNDS
AND GROWING

TORONTO (CP) — Albert Jackson heaves aside the
vast droop of his belly and hoists up a sneaker that's
bigger than 4 breadbox.

“Size 20, triple E,” Jackson replies when a group of

maybe you can't see them down there.”
Jackson, an 891-pound Mississippian, is used to
answering personal questions — he has been working the

of the Canadian National Exhibition’s sideshow.
» “They sometimes ask me, ‘How can you be so happy
with all those people looking at you?’ But they're going to

and make a living? There is always somebody to come see
a big man.”

Fat Albert says it has taken him 43 years to reach his
current weight. He weighed 22 pounds when he was born
and ballooned to 103,when only a year old. At age eight,
he tipped the scales at 290 pounds.

“And I'm still growing,” Fat Albert says after telling
a couple of gawking boys his weight. “They tell me it's
possiblé-that-I'll-get to be-10 feet tall-and weigh 1,800
pounds.”

When asked whether there's truth to a recent story

dumbstruck kids ask him how big his ‘feet are. “But:

carnival circuit as Fat Albert for 17 years and is a feature ©

watch me if I walk down the street, so why not sit here_

in the National Enquirer that says Fat Albert eats
prodigiously to keep his strength up, he chuckles, sending
ripples across his wobbling chest.

“One time I did eat 12 eggs, a pound of bacon, a
pound of sausage and eight slices of toast because I
wanted to see what I could eat,” he says. “But I only eat:

about three pounds of food a day. I've got a hormone
problem. That means I just keep growing, in all
directions.”
ASK ABOUT SEX

Fat Albert says he'll answer any question, except if a
child asks him about his sex life.

“They aren't ready,” he says. “Some adults ask me
for the full details, right down to the bare facts. But I just
say: ‘I have no problem.’ ”

Although Fat Albert's family has a history of
working the carnival cireutt; he is adamant about

his fi who is normal size,

“from following in his footsteps.

“I've always been in show business,” he recalls. “My
parents worked the carnivals as limbo-type African
dancers. It was just one big ball of fun. But the older
generation has left and the new generation is different.

matter what kind of act you did. There was respect. But

JACK RAMSAY

He fights for freedom

By JIM MORRIS
CAMROSE, ALTA. (CP) — Glenna Ramsay smiled

when asked what it has been like to be married for 14 years

to a man who champions unpopular causes.
“Jack always has some sort of cause,” she said,

“If my efforts in politics do nothing but bring about the

their government, I'll be satisfied,” said the square-faced

she hopes it will become fi ially
from government.

The society currently has 100 members and about 50
volunteers. Members pay annual dues of $25 and can buy
lifetime memberships for $100.

Harrison said she feets there is a strong need for the
service the society offers because often, parents are so
preoccupied with their child's disease they don't have the
necessary energy to deal with all their needs.

“Their money's tied up in taking their children to
Toronto or needing a new drug and it’s a relief when they
have the wish granted,” she said.

Soles ‘said he had read about

the society in the

“I've had a lot of family members who've had their own
kind of battles with cancer,” he said- “My grandmother died
of it, my aunt and mother have had problems with it. I just
felt I could offer some understanding and empathy for
anybody-else_going through it.”

His years with the Mounties produced a-lot of anger.

“When you-compare the image of the force with the
reality of the force, it was night and-day,-he said, his pale, —
blue eyes focusing far away. “The force corrupts young men
and now the young women that it is taking.”

Following his controversial magazine article, Ramsay
spent two years appearing on radio and television programs

him to run for the leadership of the WCC.

“Something is either right or it's wrong,” he said in.an
interview in his home in this farm community 90 kilometres
