Par SLATER GIVES COMEDY A TRY LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first thing you notice about Helen Slater are the eyes — lively, oversized, wise beyond her 22 years, glinting green though she says they're _ blue with rims of yellow. It’s easy to see why she was chosen to play Supergirl. Those eyes seem capable of peering through hardened steel. Now Supergirl is behind her, and she'll be seen this summer in a raucous comedy from Disney's Touchstone Films, Ruthless People, co-starring with Bette Midler, Danny DeVito and Judge Rheinhold. “It's quite a switch for me: from a young heroine to an emotional, high-strung housewife,” she says. It’s also a change from flying through the air at the speed of sound to ping-ponging one-liners with experienced pros. “Working with Bette was a revelation,” Slater said. “You can be fooled by screen images, and I was expecting a powerful, overbearing monster. “And here was this small-boned, five-foot woman. “She was so warm and generous, sticking with me during the scenes, helping me “Also cracking everyone up with her humor. We had a piano on the set, and Bette brought her accompanist and sang lullabies and ballads. She did one, Faraway Places, that had everyone in tears.” MAKES FILMS Ruthless People was only her third film, following Supergirl and the equally unsuccessful The Legend of Billie Jean, and she had to deal with three directors. ‘They are Jerry and David Zucker and Jim Abishams, the zanies who did Airplane! “It was bit confusing,” she said. “Jerry is in command on the set and generally works with the actors. Jim and David watch the scene on a video monitor and make suggestions afterward; David is especially good at comic timing.” Six months out of high school, she decided to join the “Catile-call” of aspirants for Supergirl She donned a blue leotard, short red skirt and converted a dance skirt to a cape for the audition. Producers Ilya and Alexander Salkind and director Jeannot Szware were less impressed with her uniform than with her fresh beauty and dewy innocence. At 19 she faced a year in London, first with diet and exercise and regimen to strengthen her willowy body, then flying by wires as the Woman of Steel. She added 16 pounds to her normal 112, five inches to her 29-inch bust. She also found a surrogate father in co-star Peter O'Toole, who taught her to read Shakespeare. FACES TRASHING Released at Christmas 1984, Supergirl was trashed by the critics and largely ignored by American audiences. Yet Supergirl was a hit in foreign countries, especially Japan where Helen Slater is a major star. She helped sell it with a world tour, until she had to quit from exhaustion. Because Supergirl failed, Slater figures she'll have an easier time shedding the image than has Christopher Reeve, her Superman counterpart. Before making her film, she sought Reeve's advice and found him helpful. She tells the story of sitting with Reeve on a bench in Manhattan after dinper one night.

Coshews photo by Natoie Keorbatott More to.country music than meets the ear By DENNIS BUECKERT The Canadian Press Country music is more than just the sound of twangy guitars and songs about broken hearts. Behind the cliches, says sociologist Jock Mackay, there is a pro-working-man philosophy that deserves more respect than it usually gets. “The length of its tradition and the consistency of its audience make country music one of the two or three most important original North American musical art forms, along with blues and jazz,” said Mackay, who teaches a course in country music at Montreal's Vanier College In a paper entitled Populist Ideology and Country Music. presented to the Congress of Learned Societies last year Mackay argued that country music is entitled to more than the sneer it often gets from educated people, if for no other reason than its great —OPEN 4 P.M.

COINED BY TUBB Until the 1940s, “Hillbilly music,” as it was then known, had a limited audience and only acquired a mass audi ence after the Second World War, Mackay said. The term “country and western” was coined by Ernest Tubb as part of the effort to reach a broader public. Today, country music holds about 18 per cent of the North American record mar. ket. By comparison, classical music has less than five per cent of the market. Country music record sales in 1984 totalled more than $77 mil lion Unlike rock music, in which the lyries are often impossible to make out, the words of country music can always be heard and are meant to be listened to, said Mackay, who can quote from his vast collection of country records the way literary scholars quote Shakespeare One example, by Red Taylor from 1976 I'm goin’ country back to the I can’t pay the rent Lord I'm not completely broke But brother, I'm bent Mackay says it's no coinci dence that the rise of country music in the 1940s coincided with a great wave of immi gration from the farms and small towns of North America to the large cities. badly For many, moving to the city was a painful necessity dictated by the job market, and they longed for home They responded to the ideal of a country paradise painted in hundreds of songs, includ ing such classics as Hank Snow's Nova Scotia Home and Utah Phillips’ Green Rolling Hills For every country song in praise of rural ways, there is probably another expressing dissatisfaction with life in the city, said Mackay The majority of country songs, said Mackay, deal with what he calls “the revolving doors of romantic love: sought, gained, disillusioned, lost. or unrequited.” Cable 10 TV SHAW CABLE 10 Access Television Thursday, June 26 6:00—Sign-on and program information 6:02—Expo Update A weekly series on what Expo has to offer with host Wendy Brunelle 6:30—Two-sided Mind Tea ching Techniques This is the final part of the 2nd days’ pres entation by Linda Williams to the An nual Learning Assis tance Teachers Con ference held in Castle gar 9:00—Home of Champions Vie Lindal of B.C.'s Best Ever program talks about Trails new theme, which incor. porates sports and community develop ment 1985 Rossland Moun tain Music Festival Presenting Part 8 of the series which fea tures the Morse Creek Band and a square dance 11:15—Sign off CHAMPION BINGO Town Squere-Trail BINGO EVERY NIGHT 30 p.

OPEC leader predicts oil price reversal BRIONI, YUGOSLAVIA (AP) — OPEC's outgoing president today predicted a quick reversal of the world oil slump, which he said was threatening to become a “price disaster.” Arturo Grisanti of Vene- suela addressed the opening session of OPEC's regular summer conference and then was replaced as president by Nigerian Oil Minister Ril- wanu Lukman. The position of president is rotated regu- larly. The switch in leadership was the only decision made in the 90-minute session on the secluded ‘Adriatic island of Brioni, said OPEC spokes- man James Audu. He said prices. the talks would resume later concerted all-oil-producers’ effort to stabilize the market in the face of a possible price disaster,” Grisanti said. Reporters were not al lowed into the OPEC confer. ence room, but copies of Grisanti’s. remarks were made available by cartel of- ficials. It was clear even before the talks began that the OPEC ministers were sharp- ly at odds over how to res pond to the oil slump. The official Saudi news ag. ency reported Tuesday that King Fahd said a full OPEC commitment to holding pro- duction at its former ceiling of 16 million barrels daily would cause a gradual rise in . Production is report ed to be as high as 19 million barrels daily. Achieving a modest crease in prices is a tall order - for a cartel wracked by in- ing to co-operate in efforts to push up oil prices. Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland last week met with Grisaiiti, marking the first direct talks between OPEC and an in dustrialized oil exporter. She said Norway wanted prices to rise. “This position (by Norway) . could open the way for a Deaths ternal dissension and strain- ed by an oil market slump that is expected to cost its members about $60 billion in lost income this year. Ahmed Zaki Yamani, the oil minister of Saudi Arabia, said Tuesday the Brioni meeting could be “a good step” toward an agreement on reimposing controls on members’ oil production. prompt warnings SEATTLE (REUTER) — Law enforcement authorities in the Seattle suburb of Au burn have begun removing all over-the-counter capsule medication following the deaths of a man and woman who took cyanide-tainted Extra Strength Excedrin. Auburn police spokesman Yvonne West said Tuesday the department had issued a warning against taking any medication in capsule form because of tainted medical capsules. The Food and Drug Ad ministration has identified Anacin 3 as another brand in which cyanide was detected. A bottle containing cyanide- tainted capsules was found during a random check of drug stores, Auburn police The bottle came from a drug store in Auburn. The problem is local, not national, police said. West said police started removing all over-the-count. er capsulated forms of medi cine Tuesday night. Several bottles of cyanide tainted Extra Strength Ex cedrin capsules were found last week in Auburn and another suburb, Kent. Both are south of Seattle. The poison was blamed in the deaths of two residents. Catherine Sue Snow, a 40. year-old Auburn banker, died on June 11 of cyanide pois. oning after taking Extra Strength Excedrin that had been laced with the poison. The death of another Au burn resident, Bruce Nickell, who died on June 5, also was blamed “on cyanide-tainted Extra Strength Excedrin capsules.
