The earlier pictures showed Williams and a model, Amy Wessell, in explicit sexual poses. Williams has in sisted she never signed a model release form for the photographer, Tom Chiapel, and her lawyer said Thurs day he was preparing a lawsuit against Chiapel, Guccione and Penthouse. NAMES PHOTOGRAPHER Penthouse spokesman Leslie Jay said she could not identify the photographer who took the second set of pictures, but Williams said his name was Greg Whitman. Williams told The Record of Hackensack, N.J., that she posed for Whitman about a week after they met. At first, she said, Whitman took fashion shots. “Then, before I knew it, I was posing nude,” she said. “I'm not sure what led up to it, but shortly afterward, I knew I had made another mistake.” Williams told The Record she posed alone in the new pictures. “In my naivete, I had signed a release for Whitman,” she told the New York Times from los Angeles. “But I felt badly about the pictures, and a couple of days later | went back to him to get the negatives,” she said. “At the time, he gave me an envelope and said that they were all in there, except for a few color slides. which he said he would use only for his portfolio.” Williams, who has been filming an appearance in a television show, resigned under pressure last month after Penthouse published its nude pictures of her.

But Friday in the Vancouver riding of Burnaby, held by New Democrat Svend Robinson, the heckler claimed to be a Conservative. A man who later identified himself as Steve Perli, a 44-year-old unemployed auto mechanic, repeatedly inter rupted Mulroney's speech, accusing him of taking the Tories too far left. Mulroney, however, continued with the standard response he has for NDP hecklers. “I can tell you this sir, you would not get either the crowd or this extent of democracy at an NDP meeting,” Mulroney shot back during the shouting that kept up through much of the meeting. Society sicker TORONTO (CP) — Society is getting “sicker all the time” as people cope with child abuse, television violence, declining social services and the threat of nuclear holo- caust, says renowned child care expert Dr. Benjamin Spock. “The basic problem is that we have a materialistic society,” Spock, the world-famous child doctor, told the annual meeting of the American Psychological Asso- ciation. An apparent increase in child abuse and teenage suicides in the last 20 years are the direct result of a society bent on competitiveness and material satisfaction, he said Solid majority HULL, QUE. (CP) — Former Conservative leader Joe Clark said Saturday he does not expect his party will sweep the nation during the Sept. 4 election but he anticipates a “solid” Tory majority with about 30 Quebec seats. Clark told a news conference the headway the Tories have made in Quebec since Brian Mulroney assumed the helm last year has exceeded his expectations and probably Mulroney's as well. “Mr. Mulroney has been able to give real force to our party in Quebec... and I say hallelujah, it is finally being done.” Hostages freed DUBAI (AP) Seven Sikh hijackers released 79 hostages from an Indian Airlines jet Saturday in return for one week's asylum here and a pledge by the United Arab Emirates government to help them get to the United States, an official said. The 73 passengers and six crew members were bused to the Dubai airport's transit lounge where they received medical care, food and beverages, said the official They had been held captive since the domestic Indian flight was hijacked Friday, a total of about 87 hours. “Some were ill and some looked terrified, but they were generally in good shape,” the official said. Ferry collides OSTEND, BELGIUM (AP) A Dutch ferry carrying more than 1,000 people collided with a French cargo ship 12 nautical miles off the Belgian coast Saturday, and the French ship sank after the two were separated, officials said. No one was reported injured. The ferry, the Olau Britannia, was carrying 961 passengers and a crew of 80. It was only slightly damaged and continued its trip from Flushing, the Netherlands, to Sheerness, England The crew of the 4,000-tonne French ship, the Mont Louis, were taken aboard the ferry. The cause of the collision was not immediately known. Visibility was good at the time of the incident, said a spokesman at the Koksijde military base southwest of Ostend. London fire LONDON (AP) — London's biggest fire in 10 years destroyed part of a warehouse complex and sent millions of dollars of whisky up in flames, authorities said Satur. day - Some 200 firemen fought for six hours Friday night and early Saturday to bring the fire at the Cricklewood Trading Estate in northwestern London under control. Seventy local residents were evacuated and one fireman was slightly injured, officials said. The Angry Brigade, a shadowy anarchist group. claimed in phone calls to local news media Saturday that it set the fire. But a police official, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said: “Seotland Yard believes the fife is not suspicious.” The blaze, which sent flames leaping 45 metres into the air, was the biggest in & decade, LRB pressed for AMCA ruling NANAIMO (CP)-— The B.C. Labor Relations Board has concluded its hearing into a contract agreement with AMCA International Ltd. and Local 712 of the Iron- workers Union which could lead to a major development at the Duke Point industrial site. But it is not known when the board will release its de- cision even though there is a pressing need for it to be issued quickly because AMCA has been granted a deadline extension on its bid for a contract to produce oil processing modules for At lantic Richfield. Acting board chairman John Kinzie said a decision will be made in “less than a month.” The board hearing was held to consider a B.C. Fed. eration of Labor objection to an agreement reached be- tween AMCA and the iron. workers local that allowed for wages on the project to be $5 an hour less than union scale.

Fair attracts visitors FOR ITS COAL WESTAR TO CUT PRICE VANCOUVER (CP) Mining has agreed to a $7.87-per-tonne cut in the price of coal shipped to Japan from its Greenhills mine in southeast British Columbia but the company says it is pleased “I think he achieved a good deal; we gained an awful lot for the price re duction, including protecting our share- holders and employees in terms of longterm stability.” Bob Brady, pres ident of Westar Mining International, the company's marketing arm, said in an interview Friday shortly after re turning from Japan. Rumors of the price cut surfaced in Japan earlier this month. The Japanese were said to be asking for a cut of $12 to $14 a tonne and Westar to be willing to offer $8, a report that Brady then characterized as “pure speculation.” Westar. Gary Greenhills. Livingstone, Westar Mining, said Friday that the Japanese notified Westar last Novem ber that they wanted to renegotiate the price of metallurgical coal from Westar checked the prices being of fered by competitors in Canada and Australia and concluded that Westar was indeed going to have to give ground, said Livingstone. PRICE HIGHER The new price, he said, is $6 a tonne higher than what the new Australian mines are getting and the Japanese are taking only 90 per cent of Australia's contracted volumes Even before negotiations with the Japanese were concluded, Westar de cided to incorporate the effects of the expected retroactive price reduction in its second-quarter financial results. president of The second-quarter nounced Aug $9.9 million, about $1.5 million less than would have been the case if the price reduction had not been factored in.

He was 59. Police Cmdr. William Bo- oth said there was no evid- ence of foul play in Capote’s death, but did not release information on how Capote died, saying only the cor. oner’s department would in. vestigate. Booth said the mansion where’ Capote’s body was found was owned by Joanne Carson, who is divorced from Tonight Show host Johnny Carson. The five-foot-three Capote once said he had problems with drinking and taking medication. “I put them together like some sort of cocktail,” he said in a July 1978 television yrith Stanley Siegel on a New York station. The host cut the interview short when Capote rambled incoherently about his drinking and drug problems. PLEADS GUILTY In August 1983, Capote pleaded guilty to a charge of drunken driving on New York’s Long Island He wse-admitted to hosp- ital in April 1983 in Mont gomery, Ala, after tests showed he had “a toxic level” of dilantin and phemobarbitol interview in his system. Doctors said he had a “bad reaction” to the drugs, which are used to control epileptic seizures In August, 1981 he had collapsed from a convulsive seizure in the lobby of his Manhattan apartment. Capote, born in New Or leans on Sept.30, 1924, was schooled in New York and Greenwich, Conn., and show ed an interest in writing from hsi early years. In 1946, he won his first of in 1965, In Cold Blood, an account of the ruthless slay ing of four members of the Herbert Clutter family near Garden City, Kan Capote hailed in Cold Blood as the first “non-fiction no vel,” which applied the tech niques of fiction to the facts of the case to make it seem more truthful. After the book was pub lished, Capote became the toast of New York, throwing an elaborate masked ball at the Plaza hotel. Capote was reared mostly by aunts and grandmothers in Alabama, New York and New England, after his mot her who was married at the age of 15 was divorced BC TEL WANTS DIRECTORY SERVICE FEE VANCOUVER (CP) An American-owned company based in Victoria used British Columbia Telephone Co.'s free long distance directory assistance 250,000 times during July to obtain U.S. numbers that cost 50 cents each to get in the United States. The heavy use of the free service by companies like this one prompted the tele. phone company to announce its intention to charge for the service, said B.C. Tel spokes man Ed Clark Friday. Pace Marketing Services Inc., which is registered in Canada, uses the service to collect U.S. phone numbers for Time Telemarketing Inc., the marketing company for Time Inc., and Montgomery Ward Signature Marketing, the marketing company for Montgomery-Ward, one of the largest department stores in the U.S. The marketing companies buy mailing lists from so- called list companies, but the lists of names and addresses do not include telephone numbers necessary for direct solicitation B.C Tel will apply to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission within 10 days for permission to charge for the long distance directory assistance service, said Clark, B.C. Tel's public rela tions manager: He declined to elaborate on the exact nature of the filing or possible fees for cus tomers, although he said ear service lier that the charges were not aimed at ordinary users The announcement has an gered Pace Marketing gen eral manager Stuart Wolf, who said a charge for the service will put Pace out of business. FEE IS END “If they put that fee on, it's death for us,” he said. “We came into Canada because there was no charge (to call long distance directory assis tance). It was 50 cents (for every call) in the U.S.” Wolf said his company works around the clock to gather numbers throughout the U.S. and he said B.C. Tel’s proposal to alter the service is unfair. “They don't want to give us a service that's free. All we do is call directory as sistance and obtain phone numbers. We don't bother the public at all.” But Clark said other cus tomers are suffering from extensive use of the long dis. tance directory assistance service by Pace and several other companies. “With the volume of calls they're making, obviously they're causing a congestion problem in the network.” Wolf complained the tele phone company has already cut Pace’s phone lines to 40 from 100 after Pace porated in June of this year had been operating about 10 days Wolf said Pace's difficulty in obtaining more telephone lines has forced the company to lay off 57 employees incor Kelowna firm wins contract A $49,200 contract has been awarded to D.M.J Construction Ltd. of Kelowna to crush and stockpile gravel at Nancy Greene Pit, 28 kilo metres north of Rossland, and Great Northern Pit on 30th St. in Grand Forks.

The scheduled date for completion is Sept. 30 Bible school learns rules The closing program for the Seventhday Adventist Vacation Bible School was held on Thursday at Resker Hall and Church in Robson. The children, aging from four to 15, enjoyed nine mornings of bible lessons, character building stories, songs and crafts. The special feature this year was a series of lectures on how to achieve health and happiness given by nurse Treva Sharpe. For example, she had Chris Kositsin lift one gallon of water every five seconds (as another counted) 12 times in a total of 60 seconds. This showed how hard our hearts work pumping blood through our bodies. A deeper appre- ciation of our bodies was the result. . The children learned that by the grace of God they can keep 10 Rules of Health and Happiness. 1. Breathe deeply 2. Exercise regularly 3 Drink lots of pure water and bathe regularly 4. Sleep and rest 6. Think good thoughts 6. Eat good food 7. Avoid junk foods and snacks 8. Avoid harmful substances 9. Care for own teeth 10. Love and trust God to avoid stress on mind which affects overall health. One of the boys in the group of juniors decided he wanted to apply the rule of exercise during the program. Duck Webber got up at 2:30 around 40 kilometres. He ar rived before any ofthe other children. Some shared answers to prayer the last couple weeks and how Jesus cares for even little problems.
