Faerie of Tale might have
been intended just for chil-
dren, but the quality of the
acting, the writing and the
direction turn these simple
fairy tales into some of the
most satisfying family view
ing on cabl eor network tele-
vision.

In The Pea, the queen
(Straight) has selected a
bride for her son, Prince
Richard (Tom Conti). But
Richard falls in love with
Alicia (Minnelli), a vagabond
who claims to be a princess.

DEVISES TEST

The queen, trying to find
out, if the bride-to-be is of
true nobility, devises a royal
test: If Alicia, sleeping on top
of 20 mattress, can feel a sin
gle pea underneath them, she
must truly be a princess.

Although the tales are
faithful to the classics, they
are touched with humor.

In The Pea, the ineffectual
king is dominated by the
queen. When she allows him
to be in charge, he issues
off-the-wall edicts the royal
help routinely ignore. An ex
ample: “All young men in the
kingdom known as Robert
shall henceforth be known as
Buddy.”

Shelley Duvall, who pro-
duces Faerie Tale Theatre,
recently won the Special
Achievement Award at the
Atlanta Film.and Video Fes-
tival for her series. And the
series won five Awards for
Cablecasting Excellence last
year, more than any other
cable TV series.

L 3 (CP) — It’s nearly two years since the
gruesome of six members of the Johnson and

On Monday, David William Shearing, 24, of Clear-
water, will go to trial in this Interior city charged with six
coutits of second-degtte murder. He waived a prelim-
inary hearing earlier this year.

"The families — the Johnsons from Kelowna and the
Bentleys from Port Coquitlam — met August 6, 1982, at
the ‘park 136 kilometres north of here.

Bob Johnson, 44, his wife, Jackie, 41, and their
children, Janet, 13, and Karen, 11, drove to the wilder
ness area for a reunion with Jackie's parents.

George Bentley, 66, and Edith, 59, arrived at the
park in their red and silver 1981 Ford camper truck with
an aluminum boat and outboard motor on top.

All six were killed.

Police believe they were shot, their bodies were
placed in Johnson's car, driven to a deserted spot in the

park and set aflame using chemicals. all

The heat from the fire was so intense that glass in
the car melted and the bodies were so charred that
positive identification was impossible.

‘The car and the bodies weren't found until more than
a month after the families disappeared, but there was no
sign of the Bentleys’ camper or the boat.

SEARCHES AREA

Extensive interviews by RCMP of residents in the
nearby town of Clearwater suggested two French-speak-
ing men were in the area at the time of the murders and
were séen driving a similar camper.

With few other leads, the RCMP bought a 1981 Ford
camper, fixed it to fit the description of the Bentley's
camper and drove it from British Columbia to Quebec
hoping that by seeing the van, people could give a better
description of the two men. No new leads resulted.

In late October 1983, two forestry workers discov-
ered the camper in Wells Gray park close to where the
families camped and close to the spot where the John-
son's car was found.

‘On Nov. 20, Shearing was arrested in northeastern

BC, coal mining community of Tumbler Ridge. He was

eharged in provincial court in Kamloops on Nov, 26 after
& psychiatric examination.

The tall, reddish-haired man with a drooping mus-
tache was born and raised in Clearwater. He is described
by his school officials and former employers as hard-
‘working and shy

Ken Madland, counsellor at Clearwater Secondary
School, said Shearing had a C-plus average at high school
and could easily have gone into post-secondary school.

Like about three-quarters of the school’s 450. stu-
dents, Shearing was bused to school from the family’s
two-storey farmhouse on the boundary of the provincial

The house is nestled in the trees at the foot of
pine-covered mountains near waterfalls and a rushing
river.

Madland said Shearing had a simple upbringing and
his parents, William and Rose, worked hard to make a
living on the small farm.

the Assembly of B.C. Arts Councils.

In addition, 12 of the 40 artists will be given a subsidy

to travel to Penticton and participate in the festival
festivities.

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
The election for president of
the United Steelworkers was
decided in favor of Canadian
Lynn Williams by his coun-
trymen, who represen! one-
fifth of the union's mem-
bership,, aides to Williams
said.

Williams, secretary and
acting president of the mil-
lion-member union, lost to
treasurer Frank McKee in
the United States, but won
overall with the help of a
landslide in Canada.

McKee, a former millhand
at a Bethlehem Steel Corp.
plant in Seattle, Wash.,
waged a nationalist campaign
and urged voters not to let
Canadians take over the
union.

“Clearly the nasty cam-
paign that was run by Mr.
McKee did cause some ero-
sion in the U.S.,” said Gary
Hubbard, a union spokesman

union election

McKee outpolled Williams
in the United States by al.
most 15,000 votes, 129,095 to
144,138, said Carl Morris, an
aide to the treasurer. Wil
liams took Canada 79,548 to
6,728, he said.

Williams won the presi
dential election by 193,686
votes, or 58.8 per cent, to
185,823 votes, or 41.2 per
cent, a five-member com:
mittee of tellers reported
Thursday. That was the
highest percentage any na-
tional Steelworkers presi-
dent has collected since 1957,
Hubbard said.

McKee is contesting the
results, claiming ballots
bound for Canadian locals
improperly passed through
the hands of union officials
supporting Williams.

The charge is one of 22

hearings before the election

Taylor — wearing a black

CHICAGO (AP) — “Total
chaos” erupted on the Ste-

the rear door of a Brink's Inc.
armored truck popped open
and two bags containing an
estimated $167,000 spilled
out.

“People were grabbing
money everywhere,” police-
man Terry Gibbons said of
Friday's incident. “It was
flying all over the place.”

Policeman Albert Krajese
said about 50 or 60 motorists
“just slammed on their
brakes right in the middle of
the expressway” and began
scooping up $1, $10 and $20
bills.

“There was scuffling and
pushing like kids in an ice
cream parlor,” he said. “The
guards were tussling with
people shouting, ‘It's not
your money, it’s Brink's
money.’ ”

All answers

BOSTON (AP) — A scrap
of trivia that may interest
players of the popular board
game Trivial Pursuit is that
all 36,000 answers to its
36,000 questions aren't cor-
rect.

Whether due to poor
source material or “neuron
blowout,” there are about 30
mistakes in each card set of
6,000 questions and answers,
says Debbe Crandall, general
manager of Horn Abbott
Ltd., the Canadian company
that created the game.

Listing Huckleberry
Hound instead of Doggie
Daddy as the father of Augie
Doggie resulted from neuron
blowout, or “Our brains
weren't working that day,”
said Crandall. The change
has been made in recent card
sets.

Crandall said first print-
ings of the game in which
players move pieces around
the board after answering
trivia questions “had about
100 mistakes in them.
