“Self-pity is a waste of
time,” she said recently. “I
decided the best thing to do
was to go back to work.”

In January, she made ap-
pearances in Canada. She
followed with a trip to Japan,
then a triumphant tour of
England and Wales.

London's Sunday Times
termed her Festival Hall
concert “outrageously suc.
cessful” and cited her un
questioned star quality “with
sexuality to match.”

Obviously on a roll, Lee
decided to make a rare ap
pearance in her home town.
The Westwood Playhouse, an
intimate theatre on the frin
ges of the University of Cal
ifornia at Los Angeles, was
available, and she moved in
for a sell-out three weeks.

In her dressing room one
afternoon, Lee talked about
survival and other matters.
She may be 63, but her
stylish beauty remains. She
was wearing a Chinese hat
which she removed to reveal
her ice-blond hair drawn
tightly back into a bun.

4, and then I had a step-
mother who — well, I wrote a
song about her in Peg. I
called it One Beating a Day
(Maybe More).

“I feel sorry for the role
she had to play, and I have
forgiven her since then. The
experience turned out to be
good for me. I learned in-
dependence, and I could
make my living in many
ways.

“I worked at farm labor, I
worked for the railroad, I
was a clerk and a waitress, I
cooked for the threshers. I
was a better waitress than I
was a cook.”

Entranced by the sounds of
the new swing music on the
radio, Norma Egstrom tried
singing on the Fargo radio
station where her name was
changed to Peggy Lee.

She moved on to Cali
fornia, managed to land the
spot as ger with Benny
Goodman's band. Her first

record, Why Don’t You Do
Right? was a smash hit,

She reflected on those
touring days: “From the
standpoint of the audience's
reactions, that was a won-
derful time. And what a
great experience to sit next
to (pianist) Mel Powell on the
bus and sing the orchestra
parts together.

“But we were all earning
very little money, and we
were constantly on the road.
L averaged two hours of sleep
a night. Being a blonde with
long hair, I spent hours
washing my hair every night
—and no hair dryers in those
days.”

Over the years, Lee has
suffered four. broken mar-
riages and a series of ill-
nesses and accidents that
would have sunk anyone with
less pioneer spirit. The worst
came in 1976, when she near.
ly died in a New York hotel

“Thad a long break in the second act, so I would go over

A few years later Mel was directing his first film, Girl of
the Limberlost, when Jose asked him to return to New York
to appear in Strange Fruit.

“I told him, ‘But I'm a director, not an actor,” Mel re-
called. “After all, I had just completed a nine-day movie in 12
days. But I was so impressed with the book and the play that
I couldn't resist.”

Jose directed Mel in Strange Fruit and then Mel
directed Jose in Cyrano de Bergerac.

The Broadway hit led to Jose’s movie career and sub-
sequently his Academy Award in 1961 as best actor for
Cyrano.

Jose Ferrer, 72, was born in Puerto Rico to Spanish

Mel Ferrer, 66, was born in Elberon, N.J., the son of Dr.
and Mrs. Jose Ferrer. He grew up in New York, attended
private schools and turned to acting at Princeton. In recent
years he has been best known for his role as Jan Wyman's
lawyer and confidant in Falcon Crest.

But that role is coming to an end.

Low dollar impacts

By ANDREA GORDON

The Canadian Press

Since early this year the Canadian dollar has been
steadily losing ground against its U.S. counterpart, and
lately has been setting a streak of record lows. Among other
effects, a low dollar makes prospects of a holiday south of the
border less appealing to Canadians.

What else does a weak dollar mean to the average
person and to the overall health of the country? Here are
some questions and answers to help clarify the situation.

Question: Why is the dollar's value so low compared
with that of the U.S. dollar?

Answer: Economists have many explanations for the
difference but the main one is that investors believe they can
get the best return for their money by investing in the U.S.
dollar. As more people sell Canadian dollars to buy U.S.
dollars, the value of Canada’s currency declines.

Think of it in terms of the basic law of supply and
demand: when there are many buyers, price goes up and
when there are many sellers, price declines.

It's a vicious circle because as the Canadian dollar gets
lower, more people try to sell in anticipation of further
decreases. And that triggers.an even faster drop. »
 Qulestion: Can't thé federal goveriiment do anything to
stop the dollar from falling?

Answer: Yes, but not all politicians agree that Ottawa
should intervene. One reason investors have been flocking to
buy the U.S. dollar is that intrest rates there until recently
were higher than those in Canada. So when you lend your
money in the United States, you get paid a higher price for
it.

What the Bank of Canada does to keep investors inter
ested in the Canadian currency is bump up its lending rate —
the rate it charges on its loans to chartered banks — to
trigger an increase in other rates across the board.

Theoretically, raising interest rates sufficiently should
stop the flow of money heading into the United States. But
high interest rates also hurt the economy by slowing
demand by businessmen for loans to expand production and
hire mor eworkers.

Last Thursday, the Bank of Canada boosted its rate
enough to make the chartered banks raise their prime
lending rates — at which they lend to their top corporate
customers — by half a percentage points to 13.5 per cent.

That was the first time in months the Canadian prime
was higher than the U.S. prime, set earlier at 13 per cent.

The move seemed to stall the drop of the Canadian
dollar, but how long those measures can be effective is hard
to determine.

Question: Is that the only recourse the Bank of Canada
has?

Answer: The bank's other major option to help boost
the dollar is to use its foreign exchange reserves to buy up
huge volumes of the currency. Last month the bank spent
more than $750 million U.S. doing so.

Question: Does a low dollar really hurt Canadians all
that much?

Answer: It can and not just because holidaying in
Florida costs more. The major fear as the currency declines
is that inflation will rear its head. The United States is
Canada’s major trading partner and when the dollar falls,
the many goods we import from there become more expen-
sive. As Canadians see the cost of imported foods and other

ones who best appreciate those benefits. When the Canadian
dollar drops, goods produced here become cheaper for
Americans, who comprise Canada’s largest market. And the
cheaper the goods, the larger the demand so our markets for
exports grow — a welcome relief after a rugged recession
during which demand and sales slumped badly

Many commodities, including oil, metals and other
mnatural resources, are priced throughout the world in U.S.
dollars.

Canadian producers who calculate costs in Canadian
dollars and chalk up revenues in the U.S. currency, really
stand to gain. But some of those companies may have
borrowed money in the United States and a rise in the U.S.
dollar can mean increased costs to service those debts.

Question: Is the dollar falling againgt most other cur
rencies too?

Answer: No. Although it has fallen more than severn
per cent against the U.S. currency in the last year down toa
low o fjust over 75 cents U.S., the Canadian dollar remains
strong against most other currencies. For example, in the
last few years it has gained more than 24 per cent against
the British pound, 21 per cent against the French franc and
10 per cent against the German mark.

Organization now patrolling some 4
streets.

“I would be offended (with the comparison),” Hansen
said during a patrol car ride. “We're not in any way,
‘shape or, form. similar to them.”

Hansen and about 100 others make up a Coquitlam
and Port Coquitlam citizen's patrol project known as
Vandal Watch.

Each member spends about four hours a month with
Vandal Watch, taking a Friday or Saturday night to
patrol the area in the Vancouver suburbs between 10
p.m. and 2 a.m. As many assix cars are on the road at one
time, with two members in each car

The citizen's patrol is under strict instructions only
to report disturbances or suspicious circumstances.
Members are not supposed to intervene.

Their only weapons are citizen band radios and they
wear everyday clothes, not the red berets, T-shirts and
baggy pants affected by the Guardian Angels.

They communicate with a dispatcher, who keeps in
touch with the RCMP for instructions.

Area RCMP spokesmen say Vandal Watch pro-
grams, which also operate in three other suburban areas,
serve a useful purpose

The programs were started in September 1982, in
response to growing vandalism problems.

“At the time, we identified vandalism as the second
highest kind of crime that was happening in the area,”
said Cpl. Merv Airhart, an 18-year veteran of the force.

“If we could reduce vandalism, it might free up police
officers to investigate more pressing matters.”

Neither the RCMP nor Hansen has figures on the
number of vandals arrested because of reports from
Vandal Watch, but Hansen said in an 11-month period last
year the patrol’s work resulted in 101 calls for police
assistance.

“It's not necessarily that we are catching vandals in
the act,” said Hansen. “We are causing them to disperse
before they get into any really physical damage.”

One new member said he decided to join Vandal
Watch after a recent suspected arson fire claimed the life
of a 10-year-old girl.

power Europe's cars — at
about 12 times the cost of
producing gasoline.

Commission officials said
that 11.4 million litres of sur-
plus wine could be distilled
into aleohol and sold to major
oil companies to produce gas-
ohol, a low-lead mixture of
gasoline and alcohol now
used in Brazi] and the United
States.

A gasohol mixture con-
taining up to seven-per-cent
alcohol can be used without
changing a car's engine.

Alcohol used for this pur-
pose would cost about 18.2
cents a litre to produce,
compared with about one
cent a litre for gasoline, the
officials said, adding that in
some cases it would be
cheaper to pour the wine
