Back when hit records were often recorded in studios
that were little more than glorified garages, Knox and a few
buddies called the Rhythm Orehids scraped together $60 to
cut Party Doll.

The single was an instant hit, and led to appearances on
the Ed Sullivan Show and headline status on rock and roll
tours.

CARE CENTRES

VANCOUVER (CP) — There is a demand for more and
better day-care facilities for Canadian children, says the
chairman of a special all-party federal parliamentary
committee on child care.

Shirley Martin said it is difficult to form a consensus on
the basis of hearings held so far in Newfoundland, Prince
Edward Island and British Columbia, but ‘the theme coming
through is that there is a need out there for more care and
also @ need for better training (of care givers).’

“We need this opportunity to hear from individual
Canadians,” Martin told the hearing Tuesday. “All of us have
a bias for children. We hope we will-come up with a report to
make life better for children.”

Briefs pi to the Tuesday
urged improvements to the day-care delivery system, with
support for recommendations contained in a task force
report on child care that the system be universal.

In her federal government-sponsored report, Katie

Sooke called for a national system of child care, saying
nada can no longer ignore the developing crisis in day
care.

Many of the committee members’ comments were
sparked by some of the half dozen presentations from the
floor after the formal briefs had been heard.

William Davies, who described himself as a father of
four with another child on the way, said he is not in favor of
any government funding, adding that his wife chose to stay
home and have a career as a homemaker.

But on stage, he. wasn't just a kid. He was something

Knox's travels eventually led him to Vancouver, where

JUST LIKE HOME

He met his current wife, Mitzy, during a stop in
Winnipeg and the two got married seven years ago. The
couple and their two children, Ginger and Jesse, live in the
litthe rural community of Arnaud, 80 kilometres south of
Winnipeg near the U.S. border.

The community reminds Knox of his hometown of
Happy. Tex. because it's “right in between no place and
somewhere near it.”

“Mitzy’s kinfolks are living out there,” he said

BITES BATS

LONDON (AP) — Ozzy Osbourne no longer bites the
heads off bats and doves while he performs his intense,
high-energy rock on stage.

He even says he's given up drugs and drink.

The madman of heavy metal has become a family
man, or at least that's what he’s saying as he gears for the

U.S. tour to promote his latest LP, The Ultimate Sin.

“I would hate for my kids to say, ‘Mum, how did Dad
die?’ and to have her answer, “Well, he died of an
overdose of drugs, or ‘He drank himself to death.” That's
a horrible thing to leave your kids,” said Osbourne.

“This past year I've gotten so close to my kids. It's
going to break my heart to go on tour and leave them.”

Osbourne and his wife, Sharon Arden, who is also his
manager, have three children — ages two months, 1'/
years old and 2% years old. He has two children from a
previous marriage &

His change to family man comes at a time when his
career is again laced with controversy.

They also said he was influenced by a line from

The song was written after Bon Scott, a member of

alcohol poisoning in 1980.

He was a friend of Osbourne’s

“His death really hit me, because | was suffering
through the same thing,” Osbourne said. “The song was a

BITES OFF HEAD

Besides being vilified for biting off a bat's head
during a concert in Des Moines, Iowa, he was also accused
of urinating on the Alamo before a performance in San
Antonio.

Memphis police arrested him for public drunkenness
in May 1984, and religious groups have protested his
concerts of melodic, heavy rock

With lead guitarist Tony Iommi, Osbourne founded
Black Sabbath, one of the early British heavy metal
bands, in 1969. They propagated the wailing and warping
noise of that type of rock

Osbourne quit in 1978 to pursue a solo career. Black
Sabbath had sold 32 million records worldwide, and
Osbourne felt he’s never reach such success again.

Sharon Arden became his manager, and three years
later they married. Under her direction he has released
three solo albums, each selling more than a million copies.

He estimates his persona! wealth at over $28 million.

The audience sometimes retaliated during his raucus
stage shows by throwing plastic rats and rubber snakes.
When what looked like a fake bat was hurled onstage,
Osbourne chewed off its head

“I honestly thought it was one of those Halloween
prank bats,” he said. “Then, when I bit into it, it was
horrific.

“I felt violently sick when I realized what it was.”

STAYED HOME
Emily Campbell said she had stayed home to raise four
children, but her grandchildren are in day care because
“today it’s not possible for most young parents to stay
home.”

EASTER TREATS . . . Easter Bunny was on hand at Robson Hall Saturday handing out
treats to Robson Beavers, Scouts and Cubs during an Easter tea.

She urged the committee to r a
system of child care.

Sue Williams, a single parent who operates a non-profit
day care, asked Davies what price he put on the safety of
children.

Committee member Lucie Pepin (L-Outremont, Que.),
told Davies: “I have to admit I'm biased, but I will listen.

“I'm happy you had a choice, but when you look at the
reality, only 29 per cent of couples live on one income. One of
every five children is poor. Somebody has to take care of our
children.”

MPs approve
vets’ benefits

OTTAWA (CP) — MPs gave unanimous approval
Tuesday toa package of legislative amendments that will
inerease benefits for prisoners of war and war veterans
and their families by nearly $4 million annually.

About $2.6 million will be spent annually to allow
about 550 seriously disabled veterans who were prisoners
of war to collect their full disability pension as well as
PoW cotmipéfisation. The package was sponsored by
Veterans Affairs Minister George Hees.

Currently, veterans collecting the full disability
pension cannot also collect PoW compensation. And if, for
example, they collect a 50-per-cent disability pension,
they may only collect PoW compensation that would
bring them up to the 100-per-cent disability level.

Now, an unmarried veteran with a 100-per-cent
disability pension who was taken prisoner in Hong Kong
will see his monthly compensation rise by $595 — to
$1,786 from $1,191.

Another 1,550 veterans and widows will receive an
additional $1.3 million annually under amendments that
will increase benefits to PoWs held by a nation other than
Japan for 30 months or more — essentially to those
captured during the Dieppe raid in August 1942.
Compensation for those PoWs will rise to the equivalent
of 25 per cent of a disability pension from 20 per cent.

The Dieppe Veterans and Prisoners of War
Association has been requesting an increase to 40 per
cent of a disability pension for several years. But a

for the or said when the
amendments were introduced he understood “the
government is open to further increase when the
economy permits.

Cliff Chadderton, chairman of the National Council of
Veterans Associations which represents the Dieppe
group, said he is “extremely pleased” with the legislative
changes.

The amendments now go to the Senate for approval
and then must receive royal assent before becoming law.
