The peacock no longer suits the network's programs or its audience profile. Fron now on, the trade- mark should be the pigeon, the ultimate urban survivor. Like this suggested new symbol, NBC's fall schedule is gritty, gutsy and hungry. The new programs should appeal to city dwellers, who have learned to laugh at adversity. Major elements of NBC's new series are guns and giggles. of the six order shows, and one of its three new comedies has Bill The new police recruits. # Gu ton oa rR} Call them gross.

The boycott is “extremely regrettable,” but he said it tes will be medal contenders and more Canadians will watch the Olympics on the CBC as a result.

Doctors at Queensway General Hospital in suburban Toronto said Sinclair, 83, suffered neurological damage and his prognosis was very poor. Sinclair suffered the heart attack Tuesday while in a restaurant near his home. He had done his regular CFRB radio news commentary ear. lier in the day. Sinclair made a career and handsome living from advice he once gave a young re porter — make yourself con troversial. His preoccupation with money, penchant for asking embarrassing questions as a panelist on the long-running CBC program Front Page Challenge and public attacks on religion made Sinclair the man many Canadians love to hate. Born in Toronto in 1900, Sinclair once said he deliber. ately set out to become con troversial because “I wasn't getting anywhere being mild mannered.” GETTIN’ OFF EASY y, May 17 y Humphries S: di Tickets available from the Libraries or ot the door baud ts. 00, Members Sicecanoraness $5.00, Under i¢ 82:6 y School OTTAWA (CP) — Alarmed at rapid increases in the ‘amount of illegal drugs eréssing Cansdian borders, ‘Revenue Canada has set up its own special squads at selected customs points across the country. The squads — consisting of eight to 10 people — have ‘been working since April 1 in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and in the Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia regions. Others are planned for Ottawa and the Atlantic and Quebec regions by the end of June. The of the ics squads was " Tuesday by Revenue Minister Pierre Bussieres when he before a C to discuss his department's estimates. Milton Gallup, assistant deputy minister in charge of field operations for the tax department, said in an inter- view following the committee hearing the squads were not announced earlier because Revenue Canada wanted to remain low-key until some were in operation. TRAINED DOGS The teams, which are independent but operate in conjunction with the RCMP, have access to dogs trained to detect narcotics and already have made a number of significant seizures. In Vancouver, a customs official uncovered a shipment of plywood from Thailand laden with hashish worth approximately $850,000 on the street. “The first sheet (of plywood) on the pile was fine,” said Gallup. “But all the other sheets had been cut out and inserted with Thai hash. The officer started wondering why, especially in B.C., you'd be importing plywood from Thailand, so she requested the dog team. the dog re- acted.” A squad was also responsible for ” uncovering $100,000 worth of uneut diamonds being smuggled through the Windsor border crossing. The officials had been looking for drugs. - Gallop said the street, value of drugs seii customs in 1983 was $168 million, up from $76 millio1 1982 and $45 million in 1981. The greatest increase has been seen in the amount of heroin and cocaine being imported. He said the seizures represent just a small per- centage of the actual amount shipped, saying the Solicitor General's Department has estimated the sale of illegal narcoties in Canada is a $9-billion industry with the jority of drugs coming from outside Canada. ‘The RCMP have done an excellent job. But we (cus- toms officials) are actually physically located at the border — whether it's the air border, the marine border or the land border— and if our people don't catch it at the border, it gets through.” About 140 people will be employed full-time in the special squads. Gallup could not estimate the annual budget but said both the people and the money needed will come from existing resources. He said this will not affect service because officers trained to detect narcotics smugglers will have to stop fewer people. Customs officials currently stop about 10 per cent of the 80 million people who come into Canada each year. MEETING REGULARLY Pay-TV firms d OTTAWA (C P) — First Choice and Superchannel pay TV firms are a business ar which could see them present a merger plan by the end of the week to the Canadian Radi and T Commission, industry sourses confirmed on Tuesday. The two companies have been meeting regularly for almost two weeks. Out of the discussions may come two pay TV channels — one cheaper than the other — and a joint marketing firm, the sources said. The two companies were tight-lipped Tuesday about the nature of the talks. First Choice would describe them only as “a variety of conversations,” while Supe: 1 would only iscuss merger Pay TV has attracted about 540,000 subscribers — most at $16 a month — since it’s introduction in February 1983. But the business has been fraught with financial troubles. The national C-Channel service collapsed after four months, Star Channel ran out of money, Aim Satellite Broadcasting Ltd. in British Columbia and the Yukon couldn't get off the ground at all, First Choice was bought out by Astral Bellevue Pathe Inc. and the Quebec regional TVEC merged with First Choice’s French service, Premier Choix. Only Superchannel, affiliated with Allarcom Ltd. of say they came “in response to the CRTC’s request for rationalization” of the pay TV business. Both insist no agreement has been reached, but sources said discussions extend far beyond what Superchannel alluded to — the CRTC’s call earlier this year for more co-operation in the business. Time is running out. The commission has scheduled a hearing May 28 into expansion plans by Superchannel and the proposed revival of Star Channel, the Atlantic regional fat TV service which went into receivership last ber and halted Ed seemed to flourish. Superchannel's Ontario and Alberta services went well, and the firm into i hi and the Northwest Territories. It also bought 80 per cent of Aim. However, all companies are worried about the continued high “churn factor,” the number of people who buy pay TV for one or two months and then have it discon- nected. The ies are also d about the potential impact on their subscriber levels of new Canadian and foreign specialty channels featuring sports, music video, news and Those services could be A merger would force the contmtadoa to reconsider its plans for the hearing, but sources say the commission will proceed as planned if it is not presented with an outline by Friday. The CRTC would not comment Tuesday on the discus- sions or on how it might consider such a merger. A report of the discussions emerged Tuesday in the Toronto Globe and Mail, catching many close to the business unprepared — including the Canadian Cable Television Association whose members distribute the pay TV signals. “We did not know it was in the works,” said association official Gerald Lavalee. AVOIDS SURPRISE But CBC president Pierre Juneau, deputy communica- tions minister when the CRTC held pay TV hearings, wasn’t surprised at all. “I think that it (a merger) was inevitable,” he said. “I thought at the time that the country is too small to support more than one English and French service.” Nor was the president of the Canadian Film and Tele- vision Association shocked. Stephen Ellis said the asso- ciation, which represents most independent film producers, favors a competitive system. But he said the current model ‘obviously . . worked out well.” - hasn't New cancer drug has good results BALTIMORE (REUTER) fective and less expensive — A new synthetic drug is yielding encouraging results against cancer of the kidney and colon, researchers at Johns Hopkins medical insti- tutions reported Tuesday. The drug, trademarked Ampligen and developed at Johns Hopkins, uses a cell's genetic information network of deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid molecules, known as DNA and RNA, to stimulate production by the body of interferon, a sub- stance which restricts malig- nant growths. Researchers told a news conference that initial clinical tests on humans indicated Ampligen is safer, more ef- than many other anti-cancer drugs, including natural and synthetic interferon. They said Ampligen also reduced resistance of malig- nant cells to interferon, a virus-fighting substance pro- duced by the body, and might be effective against certain kinds of leukemias. They said it could not be called a cancer cure. Ampligen blocks the chem- ical communication system that directs abnormal growth in cancerous cells. As it does, the cells revert to normal growth patterns. Dr. Paul Ts'o and Dr. Wil liam Carter developed the drug at a Hopkins laboratory. > You can lose ~ mC 17 to 25 pounds in just 6 weeks! and learn how to keep that excess weight off Call Today 365-6256 progr introduced on cable — for less than pay TV — by September.

O A cord price NEW YORK (AP) — A painting by Paul Gauguin that had been in ‘storage for more than 20 years brought a record auetion price of $3,850,000 at a Sotheby's auction. Gauguin’s Mata Mua, a Tahitian seene painted in 1892, was purchased Tuesday evening by ‘a London art dealer for Baron Hans Hein. righ Thyssen, a well-known collector who is a director of Sotheby’s and a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said Batya Monder, a spokesman for the auction house. The price was a record for a Gauguin sold at auction, Monder said. The previous record at auction was $2.9 million for his La Plage du Pouldu in 1980. However, a Gauguin painting sold pri Vi @), vately 18 months ago, Man with An Axe, went for $6 million. The Gauguin is one of the few of his Tahitian period paintings still in private hands. Painted on loose leaf burlap with vibrant blues, reds and yellows, the oil shows Tahitians worshipping the goddess of fertility. Ten paintings and sculp- tures were sold Tuesday night for more than $1 million each. PAYS 82.5 MILLION A Degas pastel, Mary Cas. satt at the Louvre, sold for $2.5 million, and a Van Gogh painting, The Canal La Rob ine du Roi with Washer- woman, sold for $1.7 million. The price for the Degas and Van Gogh were consid- ered “very good” but were not records for the artists, Mortgage plan helps owners OTTAWA (CP) — People who bought homes or re newed mortgages this spring will be able to take full ad- vantage of the proposed new mortgage rate protection program, Housing Minister Romeo LeBlanc said Tues- day. Once the necessary legis: lation is passed, homeowners will have the option of taking out the new kind of insurance based on the aetual mortgage rates they now are paying, he told the Commons. The program was an- nounced in the Feb. 15 fed- eral budget and is to be retroactive to March 1. It is intended to cover the lion's share of higher monthly pay- ments should mortgage rates be up more than two per- centage points at renewal time. Rates have risen about two points since March 1, and Conservative MPs were wor- ried that anyone buying into the plan retroactively might have future benefits based on the current mortgage rate. for art Monder said, Van Gogh's Le Jardin du Pioete, Arles, whieh sold for ‘$5.2 million four years ago, hold the Post Impressionist record. The price for each painting includes a 10-per-cent com- mission for the auction house. With the exception of Thys- sen, the names of the buyers were not disclosed. The three paintings were part of an 11 painting and drawing collection that was assembled 50 years ago by Julius Wolf, a German-born cotton trader who became a Swiss citizen and moved to New York in 1940. After his death in 1944, his wife, Erna Levi Wolf Drey- fuss, remarried and stopped collecting, but kept her hus- band’s paintings. They lan guished in a warehouse for 20 years before the auction. Works from other collec- tions were also sold Tuesday. Among them was Jeune Fille Assise En Chemise by Ame- deo Modigliani, which sold for $1.1 million, a new record for Modigliani. interested in get- ihe Castlegar News os follows: O Carrier OC Mail Please contact me with detoils.
