NEW IN CABINET This is 1974 file photo of Tony Abott who was ap pointed minister of consumer and corporate affairs by Prime Minister Trudeau in Ottawa Tuesday night Photo Day in the life of ancient man LAGOA SANTA Brazil Reu ter He had longish head and was probably short As he gazed out from his cave at the edge of the clear waters of this lake he may well have seen giant sloths more than 16 feet tall bending down trees to eat their leaves In meadows nearby the original American horse may have grazed and the last descendants of the sabre toothed tiger may still have lurked in the bush Moving cautiously out into the dawn he would hunt for food for his familyfrogs fish possibly deerusing stone weapons to catch his prey As the chill evening winds ruffled the lakes calm surface he would laboriously rub sticks together to make fire Such was day more than 12000 years ago in the life of Lagoa Santa Man whose bones are the oldest so far found in South America The Lagoa Santa region of eastern Brazil with its many caves and rock paintings is treasure trove of prehistoric finds FOUND BY DANE The first human skull was found here over 130 years ago among animal bones from the Pleistocene age by Danish ar cheologist Peter Lund He estimated the age of the skull at 10000 years based on the animals among which it was found But many subsequent experts disputed his findings arguing that because of the nature of the ground the skull could have been carried by water to layer of lsediment much older than it se It might be only 1000 years old or even less they said But this year group of arch eologists led by Frenchwoman Annette LamingEmperaire have produced what they say is scientific proof vindicating Lund and confirming the pres ence of man in Lagoa Santa more than 12000 years ago Excavating the Lapa Ver melha cave the archeologists who have been working in the area since 1971 found human skull at depth of about 40 feet Carbons found in the undis turbed sediments yard above the skull were dated at between 10000 and 11600 years old Prof LamingEmperaire said the skull must be at least 12000 years old making it the oldest human skull found in South America Several parallel studies are under way to determine the ar cheolo ical ecology of the re gion physical type of man and the animals and plants he encountered The bones of several extinct giant animals have been unear thed and particles of pollen found in the sediment will help determine the nature of plant life and the climate Traces of fires dating from several ages have been found in Lapa Vermelha Unfortunately some of the caves have been defaced by sightseers breaking off stalac tites and stalagmites or writing the names of favorite soccer teams over ancient cave paint ings some of them dated at over 4000 years old Among lower paid at $663 an hour VANCOUVER CP Garry Edwards is one of four mem bers of Vancouvers graveyard Cushman cart brigademen who rake up litter from down town

in restaurants in half dozen countries for 15 years Hans Kuhnel landed in Edmon ton determined to introduce af fordable European cuisine to the Alberta capital If we had slogan he said in an interview it would be French Dining Experience for Less Than $5 or Different and Good at Reasonable Prices But the ownermanager said we dont need to rely on trick phrases or extensive advertis ing we found that since opening March weve had ex cellent business just through wordofmouth and repeat cus tomers Mr Kuhnel said the restau rant has had two full sittings nightly and three on weekends and women shoppers and busi ness people contribute to heavy luncheon trade Trained in the business in Germany Switzerland and France Mr Kuhnel operated restaurant in Bermuda for two years before coming to Canada eight years ago Now Canadian citizen he opened the Velvet Glove at the Winnipeg Inn and was general manager of Olivers in Winni peg before opening the Dis covery restaurant in Ed monton DESIGNED LAYOUTS He had hand in design and layout in each case gaining the experience which enabled him to design The Crenerie which gets its name from thin French pancake known as crepes served with choice of 10 fillings and fine fruit salad While in Bermuda Mr Kuh nel met his wife Donna resi dent of Brandon Man who was on Caribbean holiday Mr Kuhnel said hes now confirmed Edmontonian The business climate is good for the operation of restau rant and there will be addi tional opportunities when the Commonwealth Games are held here in 1978 In fact the only drawback is that there is virtually no Unem plo ment which makes it more dif icult than in some other areas to attract restaurant staff Mr Kuhnel manages to keep staff of more than 40 in cluding 16 in the kitchen which is presided over by Swissborn chef Peter ohner who worked with Mr Kuhnel at the Dis covery He decided in June to expand the Creperie located in the basement level to The Board walk downtown shopping and office centre to 180 seats from its original 140 He gained the additional 40 seats by eliminat ing the lounge Mr Kuhnel said the ex pansion was uired because of the volume of usiness and it is more profitable to use the lounge as dining rather than simply drinking area ACTION PAII OFF WALDERSLADE England CP For five years no one could visit the people in Sun Terrace because they could never find
