But it’s not necessarily the proper way to instill safety awareness in children, says Judy McDonald, executive director of the Ontario headquarters of Child Find Inc “We don’t like or use the term stranger because, in most cases, children are abducted by a parent or someone they know, and a person may be a stranger but not necessarily a bad person,’ she said in an interview McDonald was reacting to a recent report involving five-year-old Cassie Savitskoff, who spent three days in rugged bush near Grand Forks. The child’s father, Barry, said Cassie evaded searchers because she was taught not to talk to strangers Child Find is a non-profit organization based in Calgary that helps locate missing children. The group also has volunteers who teach streetproofing — techniques and measures to help protect children from danger. Streetproofing programs are also run by various police, school and community groups. LOADS MISSING The RCMP’s missing children’s registry in Ottawa says about 1,500 children are missing at any given time McDonald says. The majority are runaways, next are considered paren tal abductions and a few are reported as abductions by strangers , McDonald says that rather than warning children not to associate with strangers, 3 |d be thought how to a series of handle uncomfortable situations. ‘Grocery stores are full of so-called strangers, but that doesn’ tgnean striking up a conversation in a checkout line is bad,’’ she says. **On the other hand, if a child isin a mall looking in a window at a pet store and somebody comes up and offers to buy him a dog, he should go to the store’s cterk for assistance “It’s not so much the person as it is the situation, If a child is in a situation he’s not comfortable with, he should not be there and should find somebody to get him out of it McDonald urges parents to teach childrer to ‘stop and think, *Whyis this guy doing this?’ **One of the common ploys has-been for someone to approach a child and say, ‘I’ve lost my little dog. Can you help me find it?’ Buta child must learn that there is no adult that needs help from a child.”* WANTS PLAN Parrott, the mother of Lesley L1-year-old Alison Parrott, whose nude-body was found after being lured from * her parents’ Toronto home three years ago, is advocating a national plan to streetproof children She wants the C2nadian Association of Chiefs of Police to endorse her proposal at its annual meeting in Sep. tember. An endorsement would require polige officers to advocate the same streetproofing ideas in their lectures at schools and other forums But that may be difficult because the problems differ from province to province, McDonald notes. For example, the main caséload in New Brunswick in- volves runaways, whereas in Ontario, most abductions are bya parent, she adds COME ON DOWN TO PHARMASAVE AND GET IT AT THE PHARMASAVE PRICE!

(AP) Don't expect the National League to feel inferior just because it has lost back-to-back all-star games and three of the last four But the NL isn’t panicking. And why should a league that once won 2t of 23 att-star outings “Four years from now, if they win another three or four, you can say that they’ ve dominated,"’ Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg said after the American League won Tuesday night's game 5-3. **They've got alot talent over there, but I'm not saying they have more than wedo.”” : Before losirig in 1986, the NL previous 23 all-star games, and before Tuesday night, it hadn't lost two straight since 1958 Montreal Expos manager Buck Rodgers, a coach for the NL, said he didn’t think the NL’s dominance was any more significant than the AL's resurgence “don’t think it has anything to do with the leagues,”” Rodgers said. ‘*If someone wins, say, 13 out of 14 World Series, then I think there’d be something to look at, and I don’t think that’s going to happen." San Diego Padres outfielder Tony Gwynn, the NL's leading hitter, was willing to give the AL some credit Bo is MVP ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — No disrespect inten ded, but Bo Jackson doesn’t want to be called the next Willie Mays Yes, he homered to lead off the American League first inning in Tuesday night's all-star game, and Mays was one of only four others to ever do that. And yes, he had a stolen base to go with his homer, and only Mays before him ever did that in the all-star game But Jackson, MVP of the AL’s 5-3 victory; would like to pass on the history lesson ““LU'll be something special when | ean sit back and tell the story|to my grandkids,” he said. ‘But I hate to be compared to players of the past because they did their thing then and I do my thing now. If you start listening to that you’re the next Willie Mays or Babe Ruth that had won 21 of the “‘It’s a game, just a game,” he said. ‘People are going to feel like the balance of power has shifted back to the American League. Maybe it has: They have some good young players over there and some good pitching. But we'll be back. I'm sure they said that when we were winning allthose games.’ Gwynn got the only hit allowed by winning pitcher Nolan Ryan in two innings of work, and afterwards he was gracious in his praise of the 42-year-old Texas Rangers pit cher RYAN PRAISED “Nolan can still deal,”” Gwynn said. ‘1 don’t care what anybody says, I’ll take him on my team any day. He can still rush it up there when he has to, but he’s got a great curve anda great changeup. Gwynn said he had no trouble seeing the ball, and San Francisco Giants first baseman Will Clark said he ‘‘would never blame my failures on the plate on the twilight.”” Despite the twilight, St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Oz zie Smith singled leading off the game. He was then thrown out stealing before the NL scored two runs off Oakland Athletics ace Dave Stewart San Francisco outfielder Kevin Mitchell got a check- swing-single to centre later in the inning to drive in the game's first run 1 couldn't see the ball,’’ Mitchell said of-his first-at bat. “The first couple innings, | couldn't see the ball at_ all There was one significant exception. Asked if he saw Bo Jackson's mammoth home run leading off the bottom of the first, Mitchell smiled and said, “*Yeah, | saw that one.” Another player who had trouble seeing the ball was Philadelphia Phillies’s Von Hayes. But Hayes’ problems were in the field, not at the plate. The lights were terrible,”’ said Hayes, whose two-out single in the top of the eighth drove in the NL’s third run. “‘1 couldn't see. I'm out of position out there in centre field “I'm glad they didn’t hit one tome.""
