horoscopes hurt image MONTREAL CP News paper horoscopes give astrology bad name says Frances Sakoian an astrologer from Boston who has written 21 books on the subject Newspapers are too general shesai They only hit one out of ev ery 40 people Mrs Sakoian said there are 10 planets placed differently in each chart 12 signs 30 types for each sign and 12 hours in each day during which the cos mos changes depending on where person is on earth and which configuration of planets he is They just dont take it all in to consideration she said Section 323 of the Criminal Code of Canada says fortune telling including astrological predictions for profit is illegal Mrs Sakoian said she ap proves of such law because there are so many charlan tans in astrology She is mem of the Amer ican Federation of Astrologers which administers an eight hour exam to wouldbe soothsayers The redheaded 65yearold said she has been involved in astrology since she was 15 when she went to college lecture on the subject WALKED OUT OF LECTURE It was lot of mumbo jum be she said stood up said Im glad dont have screw loose in my head and walked out Despite her early outburst Mrs Sakoian remained inter ested and few ears later an astrologer frien mapped out the chart of her young son She predicted that his life would hang in the balance when he was five years old On the exact day that she had predicted his appendix burst The doctors were tearing their hair out over me They said This kid has 3neinamillion chance of living and youre asking what the doctors sign is The operation which took place at the time of full moon was successful Mrs Sakoian redits this success to the fact hat the doctor was the perfect iign for my son EXPRESSION USED NEW YORK AP In the United States the 400 is an expression used for the inner circle of higher society It is said to have originated when Mrs William Astor asked Ward McAlister to help her cut her annual ball 400 since her ballroom would not accommodate more guest list down to The telephone rings at General Motors and Melodie Huber answers it Id like to speak to someone who knows something about trucks the voice says Speaking says Melodie You Youre woman Miss Huber is the first female district sales manager for General Motors Canada She has just completed year in that position Its still mans world in 1977 As woman you have to be extra good at what you do to get the same recognition man gets she said Youre in spotlight so to speak the 31 yearold native of Thunder Bay said in an interview Miss Huber travels about 3000 miles month in her ter ritory stretching from Parry Sound south to Aurora and from Sutton west to Meaford She visits 19 dealerships in that area once every two or three weeks Her job liason between the manufacturer and the dealers sit down with the dealer and forecast what business he will do also evaluate his sales per formance make sure the dealer is getting his share of the market in his area she said LOT OF TRAVEL Theres lot of travel plenty of paper work and some pretty strange reactions from dealers You hear everything she said Some are male chauvanists and admit it Some proudly introduce her as their boss Still others are minimally un comfortable they swear and then apologize immediately after She once overheard one dealer talking on the phone referring to the district sales manager but avoiding the she pronoun When he got off the phone he looked at me and looked at him and we both laughed He just sort of shrugged his shoulders and said just didnt feel like getting into it And she gets razzed by the customers occasionally Such as the time when man came in and hearing she was district sales manager remarked What does woman know about cars bet you dont know thats hub cap he said poin ting Thats wheel disc she corrected him nicely of course Most of the salesmen joke around she said But many have said they think shes got lot of guts she said Im not womens libber like to be treated like woman But if Im doing the same job as man is doing like to be treated equally in that respect STICKS TO BUSINESS And you dont mix business with pleasure You can tell she says when dealer invited you out for dinner for business or for pleasure And acting on business means dressing for business She usually wears pantsuits with her long hair up Can you imagine going into dealership with hair flying all over With my hair this way she calls it oldfashioned dont have to worry about it be ing mess all the time Its been year now one that has given her more con fidence as district sales manager Ive calmed down now that Ive been exposed to more ex perienced district managers And as she thinks back on the 10 years she has spent with General Motors she credits her first buoS for encouraging her to get ahead She spent her first nine years in Ottawa seven of these as secretary to the business management manager When there was an opening for distributor there he urged her to go after it She later sent to district managers school in Flint Mich This included six weeks train ing at dealership You get to see what the dealer goes through before you tell him how to do it she said lifestyle Senior citizens

welfare mothers who signed themselves Sick of the Labels in St Paul They wanted to help educate the damn fools who criticize people on relief How about little education concerning the snow job these women are giving They didnt say they wanted to work or better themselves by receiving job skills They just want taxpayers to pick up the tab so they can stay home am employed by the ublic welfare division and carry caseload of 160 aid to ependent children families en courage em loyment and training whenever its feasible but most mothers do not want to work Some say they are sick and cant take job One woman see regularly must be at home when her 16yearold son comes from school so she couldnt possible work Another has no car and refuses to take bus Still another will not work because the cost of her food stamps would go up She doesnt realize she could add $500 to her monthly income An ADC mother can earn over $900 month and still receive financial assistance from welfare depending on the amount paid for child care food stamps free medical ser vices free dental services and emergency be if needed Of course with high incomes the cost of stamps goes upbut why shouldnt it Our community as do most others has numerous ad vantages for ADC mothers who seek training They can receive through local Whip Inflation Now offices free child care transportation and meals plus tuition books and sup plies paid via federal grants These are all in addition to their full welfare grants So you see advantages are many for the ADC mother who is in training or employed yet find few women who want to acquire the needed skills to leave welfare Those who use the excuse of being worse off when working dont have their facts straightor they are using this as an excuse for not being selfsupporting If you want to be fair to both sides you will print this Ann Conscientious Taxpayer ear Taxpayer Heres your letter and my thanks for writing Ive checked your facts and they are correct as stated Dear Ann Landers read recently that several million dogs are eligible for health insurance under the new medipet program introduced by Lloyds of London My understanding is that for $45 dog owner can cover his dog against veterinarian fees for accidents and illnesses This policy also covers the owner should the dog bite some one How does one go about purchasing this insurance It sounds like wonderful idea at modest price Will you kindly track this down and let me and millions of others know All For It Dear All Medipet is avialable to dog owners but is not in the United States at this moment Youll have to move to Australia unless the picture changes between now and the time this goes to press Confidential to Want Him What for 27yearold man who hasnt the courage to ask his

even with careful washing it was not too long before it was not so white any more Not daring to use bleach on it picked good sunny day to wash it and without wringing the water out hung it outdoors on the line to dry did this several times until it came out snow white once more Some wash days when it was not too windy used to spread my towels on the ground in the sun on the grass and that works as well as any bleach BERTHA
