Retail orders for Raffi's latest album have passed the $100,000 mark and Winnipeg-born Penner’s three albums “(The Americans) have no idea what it’s all about because they have nothing like it,” said Rob Williams. NOW TED The key to higher sales is improved quality. ‘Wire there once were $2.98 records picturing cartoon bears and featuring traditional there are now pricier albums made through the same sophisticated production techniques that go into making discs for adults. All of Raffi’s records, for example, are pressed on quality vinyl and come with printed lyrics. i oa cme ea kid-are in rod ‘Williams ald today's market for children’s necords is made up of middle-class parents who want the best for their , : then, the industry has taken-a turn for the better and business is booming all year round, he said. Williams said while Raffi, Penner and other artists are popular acroes Canada, they have failed to crack the United States market. Williams said it was only a few years ago that A and M Records in the U.S. turned down. an offer to market Raffi’s product betause they didn’t know how to sell it there. But he said current negotiations will lead to an American deal for Troubadour this year. Whatever the outcome, industry spokesmen remain optimistic about the future. They say children are musically equipped from teh toddler to the teenager and probably for many years to come. And what makes Raffi so_popular? It could be the songs themselves, but there could be other reasons. Williams said before Raffi records any song, he auditions before a team of three sehool teachers (one of whom is Raffi's wife) who hélp scan each song for possible sexism or violence. Raffi promotes songs that are entertaining but also have some educational value, whether he's singing about whales or ¢olors and numbers. He also talks with children after his concerts. “He's a friend,” Fiohil said. And that’s not a bad approach, especially to young children. Fireside Place.

THE OSMOND BROTHERS From pop to country ne -By ROBERT MACY ~LAS, VEGAS (AP); — Twenty-two>years after the Osmond Brothers were discovered singing between fights at a Los Angeles sports arena and on the streets at Disneyland, they're switching hats again. “We've just put another hat back on and this time it's a cowboy hat,” says Alan Osmond, the senior member of the foursome that started a show business dynasty on the Andy Williams television show in 1962. The four launched the Osmond star, then took a back seat’ as the careers of Donnie, Marie and Jimmy began to zoom. The brothers moved from the earthy ballads of the Williams years to their own place in the popular music scene. But with 14 children among them and their ages ranging from Alan's 34 to Jay's 28, they felt it was time for a change. “I knew the kids were just not going to accept me with a guitar around my neck,” Alan, father of six boys, said during a recent stint at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. “We've found a home in country music.” Their latest single, Where Does An Angel Go When She Cries?, is witness to Alan's claim as it moves up on the country charts. And they've been tabbed by Billboard Magazine as the top new country group. “We're willing to pay our dues,” Osmond says of the switch to country. “We think ‘84 will be our year. And our family image — God-lovin’, red white and blue all over, is really what country’s all about.” HIT HOME During the holiday season, the Osmonds hit the Utah home of the clan's patriarch and matriarch, George, 58, and Olive, 50, in waves. But with grandchildren numbering 20 and counting, the days are long gone when the entire family could-gather around a living room tree on Christmas Eve. While Donnie and Marie were in Australia in November, Jimmy, 19, was performing in the Far East. Meanwhile, Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay were playing *Vegas and country music elubs, such as Billy Bob's:in Fort Worth, Tex., and the Palomino Club in Los Angeles. The Osmonds gave up a good real estate business in their home town of Ogden, Utah, to move to Los Angéles in the early 1960s, where they sang between fights at a.sports ‘arena and on the streets of Disneyland, hoping for that big “Andy Williams's father was atteriding one of the fights recalled. bs ante ta gersoraes Alan Williams auditioned the four Osmonds, aged seven through 13, and they were on their way. “My father hocked everything he had to buy us the tools (musical instruments),” Alan said, “He believed the move to ‘Los. Angeles couldn't be wrong as long as we did it as a family. He hated the idea of ever having to look back and say we'd never tried. “Our parents always téld usaf you're’ @bitig: to do: something,-be: the best .at it. Don't be satisfied with thedioerity.” PLAYING HOTELS A year after they first appeared on The Andy Williams Show, the four were playing some of Las Vegas's top hotels and amassing hit records. Alan admits he’s bothered by today’s hard rock music, particularly with the drug influence it exerts on young “You just have to educate your kids that there's something better,” he says. He grins as he says five of his boys, aged two through 8, are learning some of the early songs that boosted their father and uncles to stardom. “I don't know if I want them to go into show business, but I know I want them to love music. I want them to find out what true joy is all about. I'm at peace inside and I want them to find that kind of peace.” In addition to their country tour and new recordings and videos, the Osmonds are involved in their multi-million- dollar production studio in Orem, ‘Utah, where they originate a telethon each year to raise money for children's homes in the United States, Canada, Australia, Britain, Japan and Israel. This year's telethon, June.2 and 3, will be carried on 100 stations the family has dubbed the Children's Miracle Network. Jackson up for 12 Grammys Corp. The justice, by a 5-4 vote, reversed an appeals court @ecision that had thrown out an Oklahoma jury's award to Bilkwood's estate as an impermissible conflict with federal Pegulation of the nuclear industry. The Supreme Court said today,.there is no imper- Missible conflict between the state and federal laws. The decision, however, leaves Kerr-McGee free to the has so completely occupied the field of safety that state remedies are foreclosed,” Justice Byron White wrote for the court. He gaid the test instead should be “whether there is an conflict betwee: the federal and state irreconcilable standards or whether the imposition of a state standard ina damages action would frustrate the objectives of thé federal law.” White's Jog added: “We perceive no such conflict or amount of the award in lower courts. Silkwood, a 28-year-old laboratory analyst at Kerr-Mc- Gee's Cimarron plutonium plant near Crescent, Okla., died in an automobile accident Nov. 18,1974. while on her meet with a New York Times reporter. Days before, she had been radioactively contaminated. Silkwood, a union activist responsible for monitoring health and safety matters at the Cimarron plant, was reported to have wanted to make public evidence of missing plutonium and falsified safety records. Silkwood's family sued in 1976, alleging negligence by Kerr-McGee and seeking damages for injuries she suffered — primarily fear and anxiety — during the nine days from her contamination to her death. Her plight is the subject of a current film titled Silkwood and featuring Oscar-winning actress Mery] Streep. PAY CHILDREN A trial jury in Oklahoma said Kerr-McGee should pay Silkwood's three children $500,000 in actual damages and $10 million in puitive damages. The jury also awarded $5,000 for Silkwood’s contaminated belongings that had to be destroyed. The 10th U.S. Cireuit Court of Appeals had overturned the punitive damage aren after ruling that the federal government's of ion hazards precludes, or ~pre-empte™ any punitive damage award based on state law. Today, a narrow marjority of the Supreme Court said the appeals court was wrong. “Insofar as damages for radiation injuries are conc- erned, pre-emption should not be judged on the basis that way to _ of this case.” The gal meee with the Reagan administration, which had entered the Silkwood case to argue that awarding punitive damages conflicted with federal laws that impose civil fines for nuclear safety violations. FRUSTRATE DESIRE Kerr-McGee had argued that awarding punitive damages in Silkwood's case frustrated a desire by the U.S. Congress to éncourage widespread participation in the development and use of atomic energy. But White said the $10-million award “does not hinder the accomplishment of the purpose,” Congress sought in passing laws to encourage nuclear power development, The Silkwood case was sent back to lower federal courts where, White said, claims. . . *Kerr-McGee is free to reassert any including its contention that the jury's findings with respect to punitive damages were not supported by sufficient evidence and its argument that the amount of the punitive damages award was excessive.” Joining White's opinion were justices William Brennan, William Rehnquist, John Paul Stevens and Sandra Day O'Connor. Chief Justice Warren Burger and justices Harry Blackmun, Thurgood Marshall and Lewis Powell dissented. The case of Silkwood, who in death became a symbol for critics of the nuclear industry, had been argued before the Supreme Court last Oct. 4. Attending those arguments, her father, Bill Silkwood of Nederland, Tex., told reporters that just bringing the case before the Country's highest court had vindicated his daughter's cause. “By carrying it to the Supreme Court, we've done what she started out to do,” the father said. Soviets propose ban MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies have proposed a worldwide ban on chemical conciliatory tone for the Stockholm disarmament con- ference opening next week.

There was no immediate response from the western military alliance. However, western analysts in Moscow proposal. Such a ban would help re- duce “the risk of chemical war on the Conti al strengthening of mutual trust,” the agency added. The proposal was the first such suggestion to emerge from Moscow since the Sovi- ets walked out of the Geneva talks -on limiting. medium- - range nuclear weapons in Europe last Nov. 23.

(AP) — Florida’s fresh citrus ship- pers have recalled workers and geared up production now that 4 week-long ship- ping embargo has ended, and the price of orange juice is expected to \climb. The Florida Citrus Com- mission voted for the embar- go after a Christmas week- “That's how freeze damage usually manifests itself,” Farmer said. The freeze could end up costing growers millions of dollars, and the embargo will add to that total, industry of- ficials said. An official esti- mate on losses, however, was not released until today, Farmer said. And indystry analysts say end freeze hit the state's fruit orange juice Prices are likely to climb in the United States and Canada as the effects of the freeze reach the market- place. More than 90 per cent of Florida’s citrus crop is pro- cessed into orange juice. Preliminary findings by the growers’ group estimate the freeze decimated 28 per cent, or 204 million litres, of the state’s orange juice concen- trate supply, Neff said. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.

The conversation took place at 3:30 a.m. on July 22, 1982, then Chen was there watching the filming, he said.
