ofthe ‘Midway detachment, said

that Richard Mertens Weiss,
34, wanted by New York state
police on a murder charge and
by the FBI for illegal flight to
avoid prosecution, has been
living in the area under the as-
sumed ‘identity of Michael

Wilcox.

Just as music is more than
a noise, so poetry is more than
unrelated words placed in jux-
tapositoin.

It must say something,
although it need not be any
profound message. . However,
the way it is said is important:
there should be metre and
usually rhyme, as well, to give
it a dimension that Prose does
not have.

While it is not so important
what poetry says, as how it is
said, it should be articulate—it
should at least have 4 super-
ficial meaning.

july,

wanted in New York in con-
nection with a murder charge,
“The -FBI. wanted him very
badly,” said Cpl. Linke.

‘An’ immigration hearing
was held at Osoyoos and the
man, identified as Weiss, was
ordered deported to the

authorities. A

charge . of impersonating
another person, said Cpl. Linke.
‘He said the man had “been

living up in the bush” 'since he’

came to the Boundary area this
past summer. He was not

employed but was often seen in

Midway and other communities
in the area. He had been living
elsewhere in Canada for the
past two years.

Fugitives seem to be at-

_ tracted to the area because of

its “remoteness, Cpl. Linke
commented. He pointed out
that the three officers stationed
at the Midway detachment are
responsible for policing an area
which covers about 2,200
square miles.

The Midway detachment _

now has a four-wheel - drive
police vehicle to assist officers
with this task, he added.

The men who preferred.

The idea is to-place the

mental notes for that upcoming _

holiday party, place considera-
tion of your driving guests high
on the list. If alcohol is part of
the menu, play down the Nquor
and play up the spirit. ‘Insure
that the “life of the party” stays
alive,

‘The following suggestions
will bring your party toa happy
conclusion:

More Smokers
Among Divorced
And Separated

More than’ half of all
divorced and separated people
are smokers—compared to only
about one-third of those who
are married and living with
their spouses,

According to a govern-
ment survey, 60.1 per cent of
males and 50 per’ cent of
females who are divorced and
separated are smokers, but
only 88,3 per cent of married
males and 28.3 per cent of
married females smoke.

Among singles, 97.5 per
cent of males and 28.8 per cent
of females smoke,

Male white-collar workers
are less likely to be. smokers
(35.6 per cent) than male
bluecollar workers (47.1 per
cent), the survey shows.

Among women it is just
the opposite.

Smoking has declined
among both men and women
since 1964. More than half of all
adult males were cigarette
smokers in 1964-68, compared
to 39.3 per cent in 1975.

Among women, 82.5 per
cent were smokers in 1964-66
compared to 28.9 per cent in
1976. i

Have guests mix thelr own
drinks at a self-service bar £0
they can pace themselves,
Here's a chance to use your
decorative talents to create an

+ wsusual and attractive display:

in one area of the room.

If you plan-to play bar-
tender yourself, always
measure out moderate amounts
of Hquor, Never push drinks on
driving gueats,

Include a variety of low
and non-alcoholic beverages in
the menu. Guests not choosing
to drink will appreciate it,

Serve rich and starchy
snacks and main dishes
throughout the evening. Not:
only will such foods slow down
the rate of alcohol absorption
into the bloodstream, but they
give you a chance to exercise
your culinary creativity,

Plan games and activities
that will keep your company
circulating, direct attention
away bar and

* your ingenuity a chance to

surface.”

These suggestions should
not endanger your reputation
asa great partygiver. Food, fun
and activities aré more im-
portant to a successful party
than liquor.

But there's more you can
do to insure that guests are ina
condition to drive home safely,

An hour or so before you
expect the party to end, tact-
fully store the liquor away and
serve plenty of hot coffee and
perhaps a rich dessert. Since
only time overcomes alcohol's
effects, these are good time-
gainers.

Should your efforts fail and
you have a tipsy friend on your
hands, suggest a ride home
with someone else or call taxi.
Friends don't let friends drive

nk,

Remember, alcohol is in-
volved in over half of all auto-
related fatalities, injuries and
property damage oceurring on
the nation’s roads today. Driv-
ing dangers also increase as
roads become icy and slick

« during the winter.

Planning and consideration
can help make this holiday
‘season a safe one.
