A particularly useful feature of the Autoplan Rental Vehicle Protection Policy is the Loss of Use Coverage. If you cannot use your rental vehicle due to severe damages, this policy will pay up to $25 a day ($250 maximum) for a replacement vehicle The policy covers any motor vehicle including a motor home, motorcycle or a trailer used for Pleasure or business purposes.

Whitney, named Grand Master by the Mystery Writes of America, has more than 40 million copies of her books in print in the US alone. This spellbinding tale is about a young women’s search for the truth about her mother’s mysterious death and her own past. At a crossroads in her life, Susan Prentice decided to make contact with the maternal grand- mother her recently d d father had forbi her to see. Travelling across the country to the lush Southern lands of her birth, Susan has no idea how irrevocably her life is about to change. Dorothy Dunnett is another favourite mystery thriller writer whose books always have long lists of reserve requests on them. “Send a fax to the kasbah” will be no exception. A bomb explodes in t he offices of a large multinational corporation, shattering deli- cate takeover negotiations and sending an investigating team from the board rooms of London to the souks of Morocco. Wendy Hel- mann, upwardly mobile Executive Secretary to the board, endures chases on horseback through crowded, narrow streets, vintage car races from Marrakesh over the High Atlas Mountains, soccer championships laced with murder and even a wild boar in a swim- ming pool; she finally realizes there's more at stake here than washing machine components! “Impossibly funny” is the reviewer's remark on the jacket of Gerald Durrell’s book of short stori¢s called “Marrying off Mother and other stories”. Durrell is well known as a naturalist, working to preserve the endangered species of the world, and as a humourist who entertains with uproarious tales about the improba- ble companions, both human and animal, that share his days. “All these stories are true” he says, and then amends, “... some have a kemel of truth and some a shell of embroidery”. Ranging from the Eq to S n England, to Corfu, to Memphis, Durrell meets a wonderfully eccentric cast of characters — his own pom- pus brothers, a scatterbrained sister and long — suffering mother, not to mention the fragrant sow he shared a picnic with in the Periog the alcoholi in Paraguy, the attractive Lon- don bred woman with a pornographic parrot. “China Lake’ is Canadian author Anthony Hyde’s long awaited second novel. His first, “The red fox” was greeted with unprece- dented praise and was serialized on the CBC Radio to great effect. China Lake is a little known place hidden deep in the Mojave Desert, the site of top secret weapon development for the Westem arsenal. Sidewinder, the world’s first heat seeking missile was developed here but in 1960 exact duplicates of the missile began appearing in the weapon pylons of Soviet fighters, setting off one of the most far hing security i igati in the history of American i . In Hyde’s ficti ion of these events, the target of this investigation is David Harper, a brilliant British scientist who worked in China Lake. Though never tried or convicted, Harper found his career and his marriage ruined by the suspicions. Now, at the sunset of the Cold War, Jack Tannis, the man in charge of the original i i ives a disturbing Phone call that raises old ghosts and riddles. A body is found in the desert. Harper fears he may be framed again — this time he intends to fight back. As a change from the thriller genre, here’s another eagerly awaited book. “Itsuku” is Joy Kogawa’s sequel to her first critical- ly acclaimed novel, “Obasan”, the deeply moving story of a young Japanese girl's experience of an internment camp in B.C."s interi- or. In this we follow Naomi Nakane, grown to adulthood ,t o Toronto where her Aunt Emily encourages her to join the Japanese Canadian fight for redress. Immersed almost unwillingly in this struggle and also caught up with her own developing quest for fulfill Naomi ona and political journey which takes her deep into her own soul and deep into the soul of Canada. “Itsuka” is at once very political and deeply personal, reverberating with Joy Kogawa's own sense of loss and longing.

Dear Ann Landers: Please tell me what to say when friends or family members phone and ask, “Do you have plans for Saturday night?” or “Are you busy this evening?” Frequently I have answered a truthful, “No” and then found myself without a plausible excuse for not doing something I really have no interest in. Just as often, I have answered, “Yes” and found that I have lied myself out of something that might have been very enjoyable. Wouldn't it be much more Polite and considerate to call and say, “If you do not already have plans for Saturday night, we would like to have you come for dinner,” or “If you aren’t busy this evening, would you be willing to make a fourth for bridge?” Please don’t print me name.

Johnny shows no sign of remorse. He feels that his behavior is perfectly OK and that no one has the right to criti- cize him. I love my son but in my opin- ion what he has done is terribly wrong and I just can’t accept it! I also love my daughter-in-law and want to continue to have a rela- tionship with her. Johnny lives with his new girl- friend and will probably marry her. She has already been married several times and has children from her first marriage. I am expected to welcome this woman into my home and invite her over for holidays. Tell me, Ann, am I obligated to offer hospitality to her children also? They are strangers to me. I know if I refuse to accept my son's future wife it will destroy our relationship. I am terribly torn because I don’t want his children to think I approve of what their father has done. What should I do?—Bewildered in Lincoln, Neb. Dear Lincoln: Try your best to accept the woman and her chil- dren even if you do not approve of what your son has done.
