Old Faithful
has returned

VANCOUVER (CP) — At the age
of 43, Marianne Faithfull has decided
to take a trip down memory lane.

She’s back on the road, promoting
a live album that includes As Tears
Go By, the song that made her a star
back in 1964.

The song is worlds apart from the
raw, harrowing-material with which
Faithfull has made her mark in recent
years. But she says the time was right
to resurrect the hit.

“It was a way of honoring myself
and honoring my life, honoring my
early stuff,’’ Faithfull i

Starting off as a too-pretty-to-be-
true pop star with a soft, whispering
voice, Faithfull attained instant
notoriety when she became Mick
Jagger's girlfriend in the late "60s.

After they broke up, she disap-
peared from public view for nearly a
decade — re-emerging as a world-
weary chanteuse.

Finding material to match that
voice has proved to be difficult. For
most of the '80s,' Faithfull struggled
to attain the high |standards of her
comeback album, Broken English.

during a stop in Cleveland.
“I felt it was time to do it again.
And I had had a block about it, I
never wanted to sing it again in my
whole life.
“But I realized it was a

1987’s Strange Weather, a collection
of old torch and jazz classics, and
looks set to solidify that success with
anew live album, Blazing Away.

Finding suitable material is hard,

song, and much more important than
that, I realized it was part of me —
and I thought I should honor that
part.””

Faithfull plays Vancouver on April
14, the lone Canadian stop on her
current tour.

Faithful ac! because ‘she
leans toward song she can personally
identify with. Songs like Shel Silver-
stein’s the Ballad of Lucy Jordan, the
tale of a 37-year-old woman who
realized she'll ‘‘never ride through
Paris in a sports can, with the warm
wind in her hair’’ — and goes mad.

Theatre calls
for auditions

In 1987, the idea for a summer
theatre production in the Miners Hall
in Rossland was suggested by Ray
Furlotte of Trail. *

With the help of the Rossland
Rotary_Club, funding was obtained
for the venture, students and adults
were hired and the play, depicting

q

the Trail-Rossland area.

This year, the board of directors of
the Gold Fever Follies wish to
establish an ensemble with the inten-
tion of summer employment which
will include in-house productions plus
street theatre, a news release says.

The board also wishes to establish

Gold Fever Follies, as they are
known, were an instant hit. For three
years the unique history of Rossland
has been shared with visitors in word
and song.

The productions have become an

With this end in mind, the board is

Handmaid's Tale
rings true today

WASHINGTON (CP) —~ As
repressive regimes around the world
crumble faster than the Berlin Wall, it
would seem the new movie The Han-
dmaid’s Tale is out of step with
today’s political realities.

fot\, so, says Canadian author
Margaret Atwood, whose 1985 novel
Of the same name is the basis of the
film about a totalitarian society where
women have been stripped of their
rights and exist only to bear children.

“The interesting thing about the
world situation is that the East is
westernizing, or attempting to, but
the West is easternizing,’’ Atwood
said Thursday before a special benefit
screening of The Handmaid’s Tale.

“For instance, it is now a crime in
England to promote homosexuality as
a desirable lifestyle. That’s under
(Prime Minister Margaret) Thatcher.
You see other erosions of what we
consider to be our democratic liberties

done in the name of the war on drugs,
done in the name of whatever.

“It would be a big mistake to say
now that Joe Stalin’s statues are being
sold as kitsch art for huge amounts of
money we can just forget about the
whole thing. It’s at moments like this
that your guard goes down and you’re
then willing to accept things that you
would have said before: ‘Oh no,
that’s totalitarian.’ ’*

forthe film.— it-goes into general

Canada and the United States — At-
wood has landed in the U.S. capital,
where abortion may be the biggest
issue in countrywide elections this
year.

Pro-choice supporters have em-
braced the Handmaid's Tale, saying
the film’s premise of a repressive,
Orwellian United States is allegorical

Employment rise a surprise

OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian

unemployment rate fell sharply in
March to 7.2 per cent from 7.7 per

cent the month before, Stacie

Economists had expected unem-
ployment to increase slightly last
month as high interest rates exact a
stiff toll on nomy.

But Statist Canada said the
unemployment rate fell, even though
there were fewer people working in
March than in February, because the
axe of the labor force fell substan-
tially.

The labor force, the total number
of people working. or looking for
work, declined to 13,568,000 in Mar-
ch from 13,659,000 the month before.

So the unemployment rate also
dropped despite the fact 17,000 fewer
people had jobs last month.

Unless otherwise stated,
are adjusted for seasonal changes.

The number of people working fell
to 12,593,000 in March from

ll figures

12,610,000 in February and the drop
was concentrated among young
women.

Manufacturing jobs were hardest
hit as 34,000- fewer people were
working in that industry, continuing a
downward trend that started in the
spring of last year.

Employment also fell by 11,000 in
transportation, communication and
other utilities, while the number of
people working rose in construction
and trade.

Ontario and British Columbia saw

the biggest declines in employment
while more people had jobs in Saskat-
chewan. There was little or no change
in the other provinces.
The number of jobless fell sharply in
March, down 74,000 to a seasonally
adjusted 975,000, as fewer people
joined the labor force.

Before taking seasonal variations
into account, the actual number of
people out of work in March fell to
1,104,000, down 43,000 or 3.8 per

Canadian firms
get a break

REGINA (CP) — Ipsco Inc. has
won part of its long-standing legal
battle over a U.S. countervail duty
imposed on some of its exports to the
American market.

A ruling by the U.S. Court of Ap-
peals for the Federal Circuit will
reduce the amount of duty paid by
Canadian firms that receive gover-
nment grants and then export produc-
tsto American markets.

The judgment is generally expected
to help Canadian manufacturers that
have received government aid, com-
pany president Roger Phillips said.

A countervailing duty pushes up
the cost of Canadian-made goods in

the U.S. making them less attractive
to U.S. buyers.

In 1986, a U.S. court found that a
federal government grant received by
Ipsco, mainly in the early 1980s, was
an unfair subsidy and had injured the
American steel products industry.

The result was a countervail duty
being placed on Ipsco-made steel
products used in the oil industry.

“‘We were just a little bit ticked
off,”’ Phillips said Friday.

IPSCO and its U.S. subsidiary IP-
SCO Inc. appealed the ruling by
saying the amount of the duty should
not be based solely on a grant given to
a single producer.

market activity this week, said analyst
Ira Katzin of Merit Investment.

High rates are being used by the
central banks in Canada and the
United States to quell inflation, but
investors fear economic growth will
be choked and a recession will result.

High rates also make interest-
bearing securities such as bonds more
attractive than stocks, Katzin said.

“There's a lot of apathy and
lethargy on the markets because
people are finding they can invest
elsewhere and get a higher rate of
return,”” he said.

Policies pushing
interest rates
ever higher

TORNOTO (CP) — Four more
banks are boosting longer-term mor-
tgage rates, a move some analysts link
with uncertainty over the Meech Lake
Accord and the goods and services
tax.

By Monday, three-, four- and five-
year mortgage rates will have climbed
half a percentage point to 13.75 per
cent at the Bank of Montreal, the
Royal Bank, the Bank of Nova Scotia
and the Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce.

The Toronto-Dominion Bank led
the pack with a similar increase earlier
this week.

The Royal, Commerce and
Scotiabank also said they are raising
one- and two-year rates by a quarter
of-a~percentage—_pointto13.50-per
cent.

“It's just a reflection of what’s
happened .to interest rates in the
market in general,’ said Patti Croft
of investment house Burns Fry-

“T think that incertainty about
Meech Lake has been a significant

factor in the increase in long rates in
Canada.”

Croft cited a report this week by a
European bank urging investors to
reduce their holdings of Canadian
bonds.

The report suggested that if the
Meech Lake Accord founders, the
value of Canada’s dollar could drop
and investors who sell their bonds
would risk losing money in converting
Canadian currency back into German
marks, Swiss francs or U.S. dollars.

“‘There’s the potential for
significant currency risk, and that’s
being reflected in higher interest rates.
People want to be compensated for
that risk and they'll demand higher
rates of return.

Economist George Vasic said recent
union settlements that provide protec-
tion against the GST are also helping
to keep interest rates high.

‘There is. now a more entrenched
expectation that interest rates-are-not
going to come down very soon,”* said
