Cameron reported that in the past three months there have been 126 referrals from the Grand Forks area, 97 from Trail and 68 from the Castlegar area. i

He said in an interview that the reason for the high numbers in Grand Forks is that there is more emphasis on problems in the areas of family, marital and adolescents in Grand Forks. As well, he said there are more short-term cases than in the Trail-Castlegar area where there are hospital facilities for more chronic cases.

Members of the Royal Family often do their shopping at Harrods and, while management is very discreet about their purchases, Prince Charles's wife Diana has been spotted buying baby clothes for her son, Prince William, and waiting in line in the bakery for hot croissants.

The store says it has completely furnished several palaces in the Middle East, providing enough china and glassware for 1,000 guests with the crest of the Sultan of Oman, flying kippers to Los Angeles, strawberries to the desert, rolls worth 50 cents to New York and sausages to a yacht in the Mediterranean.

Harrods employs 4,000 people, but still likes to bill itself as the neighborhood corner shop where residents of the exclusive Knightsbridge district buy their.tea and biscuits, fish and chips, fresh flowers, toothpaste and underwear.

Harrods will no longer rent visitors apartments on its upper floors, but it is the only London store offering customers a private lending library and the only one’ providing kennels where patrons may park their pets.

For the last six years, Roland (Tiny) Rowland, chairman of the Lonrho conglomerate with vast mining and ranching interests in Africa, has been fighting — so far unsuccessfully — to separate the highly profitable Harrods from its parent House of Fraser group. f

The House of Fraser has fought Rowaland’s $280-million takeover bid and snubs an Argentine store with the same name, which uses the same green and gold lettering.

LECH WALESA

Militants criticized

WARSAW (REUTER) — Solidarity leader Lech Wal- esa condemned violence by some militants of the banned union Saturday after clashes between demonstrators and police in three Polish cities during a day of anti-gov- ernment protest.

The Nobel peace laureate also indirectly criticized un- derground Solidarity spokes- men whose call for country- wide demonstrations was vir- tually ignored by Poles on Friday.

n a millionaire has donated the furniture from a luxury Van- couver hotel suite he uses for visiting business associates and has also offered to pay the “first few months’ rent” for the couple when they find a place to live.

Criticizing the violence, Walesa said by telephone: “There is no use in getting into fights ... We have to continue our struggle but by peaceful methods.

He said the huge deploy- ment of police for the dem-

onstrations was normal and added: “It is a job of the police to be on the streets... that is what they are there for.”

ISSUES APPEAL

The appeal for demonstra- tions was issued by Soli- darity'’s Underground Na- tional Co-ordinating Commit- tee to mark the anniversaries of the killing of Polish work- ers by riot police acting on the orders of the Communist authorities.

At least 45 shipyard work- ers were shot dead during food riots in Gdansk in 1970 and seven miners were killed near Katowice after martial law was declared in Poland two years ago.

Walesa did not officially endorse the committee's call for marches in cities after work when it was made earlier this month although he acknowledged that the underground leadership had the right to issue it.

He implied Saturday that the initiative was doomed

from the start by the cer- tainty in people's minds that overwhelming security meas- ures would be taken by the authorities.

“People are becoming more and more sensible and more and more aware of the implications of what is going on,” Walesa added.

The low turnout of dem- onstrators was a blow for the union which met a similar!:

Mother taken away

ST. PAUL, MINN. (AP) — Saying his elderly mother will spend “a good Christ- mas” in a secret location and not in a nursing home, a cab driver has vowed to stay in jail rather than tell author- ities where she is.

‘I'm stubborn and I'm going to fight,” said Dick Fingerholz, 56. “It's a matter of principle.”

Fingerholtz picked up his 84-year-old mother, Ann, at Ramsey County Nursing Home on Oct. 29 for what was supposed to be a three- hour visit, nursing home offi- cials said. They haven't seen Mrs. Fingerholz since.

“My mother’s wishes were not to go into a nursing home,” Fingerholz said. “I'm going to abide by my mother’s wishes. She'll be free and she'll have a good Christmas and I'll be in jail.”

Fikngerholz was jailed Nov. 30 for contempt of court after he refused to tell a pro- bate court where his mother is. District Judge Jerome Plunkett says Fingerholz will stay in jail until he co-oper- ates.

Fingerholz, who author- ities say was involved in an incident in which his mother was injured, wants himself or another family member to be

A government spokesman said he could not comment on the number of arrests made during demonstrations or which towns were affected.

But the courts support social workers who say Mrs. Fingerholz is disoriented and confused, and belongs in a nursing home.

In an interview Wednes- day, Fingerholz said he has “heard from the place she is, and I know she'll be well and happy and being cared for.”

The Ramsey County Hu- man Services Department determined that Mrs. Fin- gerholz, who had lived alone for 15 years, was no longer able to care for herself in her St. Paul home.
