MIAMI VICE

TAR CHARGES
$25,000

SEATTLE (AP) — Spon-
sors of Miami Vice star Philip
Michael Thomas’ appearance
today at a Martin Luther
King event say ticket pro-
ceeds will still go to black
groups even though his
$25,000 show may cost more
than projected box office re-
ceipts.

Thomas is charging
$25,000 for the Martin Lu
ther King Birthday Celebra-
tion. His fee reportedly will
come from special funds
raised by the Seattle Benefit
Guild Association, which is
underwriting the event.

The guild association, an
affiliate of the Southern
Leadership Conference, says
money collected from ticket
sales still will go to a variety
of black groups.

Thomas, who plays police
detective, Ricardo Tubbs on
the ABC-TV hit show, will be
paid to speak on the King
legacy and sing a hymn at a
90-minute ceremony on the

day preceding the first Mar
tin Luther King national hol-
iday.

The 36-year-old actor, ta-
ping an episode of Miami Vice
on location in south Florida,
could not be reached for
comment.

Organizers of Thomas’ ap-
pearance note that he's one of
the hottest black entertain-

' ers in the world.

“We have no problem with
his fee. Black actors are just
starting to make that kind of
money and he deserves it,”

give some of it back as a
contribution.”

Hollywood agents say such
rebates are common among
stars looking for tax write
offs, but some local people
think Thomas will return the
money for humanitarian rea-
sons.

Play creates
unique problems

TORONTO (CP) — Greg-
ory Heyn is quick to admit
that there can be problems in
directing any sort of play, but
the problems in the one he's
doing now are unique — most
of the actors are blind.

The play is Braille Man-
useript, a fictional story
about Louis Braille, the blind
Frenchman and inventor of a
raised-dot system that en
ables the blind to read. The
actors are members of the
Glenvale Players, nearly all
either blind or visually im
paired.

But they don't stumble on
stage. In fact, it's quite the
opposite, says Heyn, who is
also author of the play.

“When they play sighted
people they are fine,” says
Heyn. “But it's when they
play a blind person, who
would enter a room the first
time carefully and slowly,
they're too adept. I have to
tell them to act hesitant.”

Nevertheless, Heyn has his

share of theatrical horror
stories accumulated during
the four years he has been
working with the players re-
hearsing at the Canadian Na.
tional Institute for the Blind.

He's had his leading men
disappear on an alcoholic
bender opening night.

He has had a leading lady
fall off the stage two nights
before opening night. “But
we were rushing through re
hearsal and someone forgot
to clear a pile of carpets off
the stage,” he explains.

WATCHED IN HORROR

And he has watched in
horror from the balcony as
the stage manager misdir-
ected an actress who thought
she was off-stage to the edge
of stage right. Play or no
play, Heyn stood up from his
seat in the audience and
screamed “Stop” and a hand
from backstage reached out
and hauled the bewildered
actress to safety.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Promoted as the perfect birth
control method in the early 1960s, the pill is no longer the
No. 1 form of contraception in Canada.

It has been replaced by sterilization — a method that is
almost 100 per cent effective, doesn't rely on memory work
and has almost no long-term side effects. And, unlike the pill,
the intra-uterine device (IUD), the diaphragm or the
condom, it is also permanent.

Sterilization is the most common method of birth
control in Canada, says a 1984 federally funded study of
5,315 Canadian women.

Forty-eight per cent of the women surveyed said they
rely on sterilization — either their own or their partner's —
for birth control. In contrast, only 28 per cent said they used
the pill.

Those figures mirror the results of a 1982 survey by the
National Centre for Health Statistics in the United States.
That study showed 41 per cent of married couples rely on
sterilization, up from 23.5 per cent in 1973, and 19.8 per cent
use the pill, down from 36.1 per cent in 1973.

In the fiseal year ending March 31, 1985, the Medical
Services Plan of British Columbia paid for 5,329
vaseetomies, 1,592 more than in the same period in 1981-82.
It also paid for 8,885 tubal ligations, 1,649 more than in
1981-82.

Concern about harmful consequences of the pill — which
has been linked to blood clots, high blood pressure, heart
attacks and strokes — has reduced its popularity.

Because the 1984 survey, led by Prof. T.R. Balakrishnan
of the Population Studies Centre at the University of
Western Ontario, is the first of its kind in Canada, few
previous data exist for comparison.

STERILIZATION COMMON
Pill no longer No. 1

But a 1968 survey of married women living in Toronto
indicated 43 per cent took the pill, compared with just 15 per
cent of married women who took part in the 1964 study.

Alderman, a North Vancouver
estimates he has done about 10,000 vasectomies.

Many women use a reliable form of birth control like the
pill or TUD until they decide they don't want any more
children, says Vancouver gynecologist Dr. Vera Frinton.

But both Alderman and Frinton say they would sterilize
a single person with no children as long as they were
convinced the individual had made the decision thoughtfully.

For couples who have decided sterilization is the best
option, one question remains — who goes under the knife

Doctors say if the simplicity of the operation and the
risk of complications were the only considerations, every
couple would decide to have the male partner undergo a
vasectomy.

The operation can be done in about 30 minutes in a
doctor's office and it carries a far lower risk of complications
than a tubal ligation.

“Many men — I think the majority of men — are not as
suited p ly for such an op ion as their wives.”

Frinton says most women don't have the same
psychological barriers to the sterilization operation as men.
Most women are used to assuming the responsibility for
birth control, and, unlike men, few fear the procedure will
affect their sexual performance.

“A lot of men don’t want their genitals tampered with,”
says Frinton. “If they have any hangups at all, then they
shouldn't get it done.”

Basically, God guided me to some of the world’s richest
men who realize that poverty threatens to destroy them,
because it threatens to destroy the fabric of civilization.

These rich men advance monies, with tax advantages to
themselves, naturally, to be given to the poor.

The poor also participate by investing becouse, without
their commitment God's Plan would not work. They must have
a stake in their own prosperity. They must help themselves and
others as much as they can.

The poor invest their share and the rich make certain
that the monies invested by the poor quickly becomes
prosperous.

Jesus teaches us to teach our fellows to fish, rather than
simply taking fish out of charity.

God's Plan teaches the poor to make their money grow
according to God's Laws and Will.

With the monies that the rich have given to the poor
through me, the rich and the poor have benefitted equally and
with the rapid growth of their monies as a result of God's Laws
and His Plan. Many of the former poor are now managing their
own business and benefitting us all. God's Plan will eliminate
social assistance and heal the sick economy, created by Man's
Plan which is nothing more than socialism. God's Plan is
nothing less than Christian Capitalism!

To the skeptics let me point that nothing speaks like suc-
cess and God's Plan has been incredibly successful. It is
working here and now. Members of this community, from all
walks of life are enjoying the fruits of God’s revelation to me.

Policemen, farmers and the formerly destitute, ministers
and yes, even bankers, are some of the many who are seeing
the modern version of Jesus’ miracle of the loaves and fishes.

With the help of the people of this world using this
revelation from God, poverty could very soon cease to exist.
Please give us your help and prayers and you too are welcome
to participate in God's Plan.

Very truly yours,
