One obser- ver was quite sure the valiant old gent was even wearing his teeth for the occasion. “B.C.” (or Burt as he is known to the few friends he still has), enjoys remarkably good health for a man of his age. He visits the CasNews office whenever he feels able, just to get a whiff of prin- ter’s ink and keep in touch. “He's an inspiration to us all” was how one_ staffer described him. “A legend in his spare time.” "B.C." attributes his longevity to his clean living as a youth. As a teenager, he spent large amounts of time at the Castle-Bar Ranch (now the Oglow Sub- division) and the Stewart Farm (now the Shewchuck Subdivision) commuting with nature, admiring the hogs and cows, riding horses and climbing trees. Today, a walking testimonial to Geritol, “B.C.” occupies his free time by playing checkers, cross- referencing his extensive (and exhaustive) collection of Playboy and Hustler magazines and reminiscing.

Publisher backs Lillian VANCOUVER (CP) — Sheila Kenyon is ready to fight for B.C.'s first lady and is asking all British ‘ Columbia women to go to the breach with her. And she’s asking them to ‘do nothing more dangerous than don a headband for a week. Kenyon, co-publisher of the weekly newspaper Lake Cowichan News on Vancouver Island, is mad about an article in the lat- est issue of Chatelaine magazine, which pans Lil- lian Vander Zalm's ever- present headband. Describing the headband LILLIAN VANDER ZALM re as among the trends it de- headband defended plores, the magazine sug- gests in its third annual best and worst dressed list that the wife of Premier Bill Vander Zalm should drop the headband now that the provincial elec- tion, held Oct. 22, is over. That got Kenyon's back up. “I am quite disturbed that she should be judged to be a poorly dressed per- son,” Kenyon said in a telephone interview. “I think she looks smart.” “I have admired the fact that she wears a head- band,” Kenyon said in an interview. “I think it gives her an individual look. Kenyon, who says she wants women to - begin wearing their headbands beginning today, says even her husband Ron — who she says would qualify for the worst dressed list — wi ll sport a headband for Vander Zalm. Brian Mulroney's half reading glasses, Ontario Premier David Peterson's red ties. and Lillian Vander Zalm's- headbands are “trends of best- and worst- dressed Canadians,” Chat- elaine says.
