Drolet said most of the company's major contracts, those with professional hockey teams, had already been filled, but added that any shutdow n resulting from (he fire would have an effect on the company’s ability to fill other orders to sporting goods stores and hardware stores Drolet said tlie company’s workers, !t Switching the principals at the last moment, perhaps'’ Andrew would not have been experienced enough to have thought of it himself You don't suppose that Margaret — all those years — was actually GOING to Mustique?And now — had SHE put him up to it?The switchboard blazed: “We should like to speak to our sister .’ Where is she to be found, marm’’" "In hiding, most probably." Nameless Commie manipulators the latest scare By Glenn Somerville WASHINGTON (CP) The familiar “red scare" is back in American politics as campaigning politicians including President Reagan bandy charges that proponents of a nuclear-weapons freeze are Communist dupes The hot intensity of the debate over motives highlights the fact that Americans have the opportunity in Nov.2 mid-term congressional elections to mount the closest thing yet to a national referendum on the nuclear issue.About one in every four U S.voters will cast ballots that ask their opinion on a referendum advocating a halt to American and Soviet testing, deployment and manufacturing of nuclear weapons.Freeze votes are only advisory, but a strong turnout would be a significant display of public pressure.The question will be on ballots in eight states, from California in the west to Rhode Island in the northeast, as voters make their choices for all 435 seats in the U S.House of Representatives and 33 in the 100-seat U S.Senate At least seven cities, including Washington, D.C., Miami, Chicago, and Denver also have nuclear referendum votes.The prospect of a big vote for a nuclear freeze clearly distresses the Reagan administration, and has prompted some of the harshest language so far heard in campaigning.CLAIM CONSPIRACY Reagan describes it darkly as “a movement that has swept across our land, inspired not by the sincere, honest people who want peace, but by some who want the weakening of America and so are manipulating many honest and sincere people.” Pressed last week to identify the manipulators, the president said only: “I did not have any American in mind,” and refused to elaborate.Reagan called European demonstrations last year for a weapons freeze Soviet-backed.The freeze isssue was also at the heart of an emotional debate in the Senate last Friday, during which Republican Senator Jeremiah Denton alleged peace groups give “comfort and aid” to the Soviet Union.Denton, a former U S.Air Force pilot who spent eight years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, zeroed in on a group called Peace Links that was founded by the wife of a Senate colleague, Democrat Dale Bumpers of Arkansas.Some of its members are "either Soviet-controlled or openly sympathetic" with Communist objectives, Denton charged while arguing against a resolution expressing support for Peace Links.Betty Bumpers accused Denton of attempting to intimidate her organization, which includes among its members Rosalynn Carter and numerous congressional wives, and vowed to continue efforts to stimulate debate among women’s groups about the arms race.EQUALITY FIRST Reagan, who campaigned successfully for the presidency in 1980 on a platform that included building up American military might, says he favors a weapons freeze only after the United States has achieved nuclear equality with the Soviet Union.Backing that view, the U.S State Department has warned that a moratorium on nuclear arms production would “divert us from the goal of reductions and undercut the position of our negotiators” in arms talks with the Soviets.Democratic backers of a weapons freeze quickly jumped on Reagan’s tough cam- paign language, to the reported chagrin of presidential advisers who fear it may become a charged issue that drags down the national effort to elect more Republicans Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy last week accused Reagan of McCarthy-era tactics, comparing him to the late Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy who, in the early 1950s, made claims of Communist influence against political opponents.Last week, Reagan was trying to set a higher tone while campaigning for' Republican candidates in the West by emphasizing Republican efforts to revitalize industry.It is a less partisan, more presidential, tactic that advisers want Reagan to continue Unwittingly, however, the president may have aided the cause of the nuclear freeze proponents.Reagan's assertion that the freeze campaign is “sweeping across the country" was not only widely reported but already is appearing in campaign literature of the numerous voter groups advocating a halt to the arms race who are blanketing states and cities where the freeze measure appears on ballots.ANP FURTHERMORE,I'M GATING SICK\ ANDT1KD OF THESE FAESRICATEP HERBS INTHE PRESS ABOUT IMEPNAL BACK-SIABBIN6 IM1HE WHITE HOUSE! vcmo TORONTO SUM The great jobless race: US, allies vie for unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) — Rising unemployment in the United States is being matched and even topped in countries that are some of America's chief business competitors, figures made available Monday by the U.S.Department of Labor show.The department announced last week that U.S.unemployment had risen to 10.1 per cent of the work force for the first time in 42 years.In Britain, where the figure had been in single digits until 1930, the jobless rate reached a high of 13 per cent for the month of August.Canada was not far behind, with 12.2 percent for the same month.In West Germany, the 1981 rate of 4.2 per cent created much uneasiness, since the number of unemployed had been below one per cent since the early 1970s.But by September this year, the rate had jumped to seven per cent The French figure of 7.7 per cent last year rose above eight per cent this year, holding steady through the summer at 8.7.The U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics said Italy’s rate of 4.7 per cent in this year’s second quarter — up from 4.2 per cent last year — would be more than doubled if it included people who have not been looking for work in the last month.This figure is proportionately larger in Italy than elsewhere, but is omitted from the calculations in order to make the statistics comparable on an international level.Even Sweden, a traditional full-employment country, was up to 3.4 per cent in August, compared with 2.4 per cent in 1981.Only in Japan was the rate low and steady despite poor business conditions — 2.2 per cent in July, the same as last year.There was even a slight drop in the Japanese figure, from 2.5 per cent in June and 2.3 per cent in the first quarter of this year.The department said the figures are the most recent available for each country.Since each country compiles its jobless figures in its own way.the department analyses and adjusts them so they can be compared to U.S.reports, officials said.Capital Notebook: Joe wants your cards and letters H> Jim Holing OTTAWA (CP) — How times change! Only a few years ago the lost luggage on his accident-prone world tour spawned Joe Clark jokes and raised questions about the Progressive Conservative leader’s abilities to lead the country.Now the luggage is carrying different messages, much to the delight of party officials.They say Clark staff recently found notes sluffed into the leader’s baggage.Read one note: “Dump Trudeau Fight, Joe, Fight." Another: "Keep after Pierre and his gang of misfits and yes men." Clark says he hopes people will keep the notes and letters coming in.Liberal baggage is seeing a lot of countries this autumn.An unofficial count shows that al least 20 members of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's 36-person cabinet have travelled out of the country on government business since Sept 1.Relax, Revenue Canada really isn't doing any more than usual to get a bigger bite of your hard-earned dollars.The rumor mills abound with stories about the tax tigers stepping up the hunt for more revenue to feed the huge federal deficit.Just about everyone has a favorite story about an average Joe who is feeling the hot breath of Revenue on his neck But Carla Gilders, speaking for Revenue Canada, says that while the department is Irving to be efficient, there is no general clampdown to raise more money Tax changes from last November's budget, plus publicity about auditing the returns of workers who earn income in tips, might be the reason for any increase in nervous talk about the taxman, she says.The taxman is being denied one small bite of change this year.That’s because art works, not cash, will be given to winners of public service outstanding achievement awards.The prize used to be $5,000, but now-winners are getting their choice of a Canadian work of art.The reason for the switch from cash is not known, but it might be because the award no longer is limited to one federal employee each year.Five employees have been chosen this year and that would have meant $25.000 in prize money However, no one in the prime minister's office will say whether there is an upper limit on the value of the art prizes.Among this year's winners is Edmund Clark, architect of the much-maligned national energy program He is the centre of a controversy in the capital because he has gone to Paris on a one-year sabbatical The 12 months away from his job as assistant deputy energy minister is costing the taxpayers roughly $172.000, including his $90,000 salary, moving costs, education allowances and other expenses They brought strippers into the noble National Arts Centre the other night, but there were more yawns than raised eyebrows.The occasion was a one-night stand of Oh! Calcutta!, the aging stage play based on sexual fantasies.Featured was Debbie Kepley, the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader billed by promoters as the girl "whose scorching appearance makes you understand why the Cowboys missed the Super Bowl.” Even that allurement was not enough to start a stampede to the ticket wickets.Attendance was roughly 2.600.slightly less than capacity.Ottawa Citizen writer Jim Slotek called the performance “the odds-on-favorite for the theatre turkey of the year.” Many years and millions of angry words later, the official debate over whether Dominion Day should be called Canada Davis about to end.A Senate committee has set aside today to hear arguments on a bill to make Canada Day the official name of the July 1 holiday.The full Senate is expected to vote on the matter Oct 25 and there is little doubt it will approve the change, paving the way for it to become law.Chief Justice Bora Laskin of the Supreme t ourt of Canada turned 70 last week and was somewhat speechless when he arrived at a dinner party to find a room full of friends from across the country.He had been lured to a hotel restaurant on the pretext of having dinner with family.The surprise party was a closely guarded secret, but Laskin almost found out about it at the last moment.He and his wife Peggy were entering the hotel when they bumped into Justice Bertha Wilson, the newest member of the high court, on her way to the party.Wilson coolly announced she was there for a dinner appointment and hurried off.They write about it all the time, but journalists working in the capital now have encountered the reality of the recession.Buried in the latest newsletter from the National Press Club is word of a special $100-a-head assessment on 1983 memberships.The assessment will double the annual fees paid by working journalists who belong to the club.The club’s suppliers, caught in the high-interest squeeze, no longer are being generous about waiting for payments.The demands for fast payment have created a cash flow problem that the club hopes to fix with the special assessment. Farm and Business #1____mi ¦FbCpITI The KKi OKI)—Tuesday, October 12.19K2—5 the* Vancouver’s booming Japanese business community nets $8.5B VANCOUVER (CP) - John South-worth discovered the Japanese business community in Vancouver while working on a’ 1959 royal commission on railroads I was absolutely astonished to find the Japanese had offices here,” the Vancouver businessman said."They had arrived without âny fanfare at all, very quietly." Southworth began cultivating contacts w ith them.At first only about 15 or 20 Japanese businessmen came to an annual Christmas party Southworth held for them Today, his party fills two hotel ballrooms.The growth of that guest list corresponds with the growth of the Japanese in British Columbia.The Japanese now field approximately 100 fully owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in B.C In Canada, they have 231 fully owned subsidiaries or joint ventures.The value of trade between the two countries has grown steadily.In 1955, export-import trade amounted to $150 million.In 1970, it was $1.4 billion.In 1981, it was $8.5 billion Japan is Canada's No.2 trading partner, second only to the United States Last vear Canada had a $467- million trade surplus w ith Japan, one of the few countries to achieve this feat.NUMBER WILL RISE The Japanese consulate here estimates 1,500 Japanese nationals live and work here and the number is expected to rise steadily during the 1980s This does not include the 13,500 Japanese-Canadians who have permanent residence here and have not retained their Japanese citizenship To Western minds, the Japanese businessmen here appear similar in disposition and background Most of them graduated from the best universities in Japan and interned immediately with large companies.w ith the intention of staying with that company for life They moved through a period of apprenticeship, and with age.climbed the corporate ladder Bonuses, promotions and overseas postings came not only on the basis of individual skill and hard work, but as reward for corporate loyalty.The average overseas assignment runs three or five years.This constant movement, the big companies believe, gives their men an international scope.Wilf Wakely, a Vancouver lawyer who lived in Japan, speaks Huent Japanese and married a Japanese, is one of the few lawyers here who deals with the Japanese businesses as regular clients "The people they send out here are not slackards," said Wakely."When they get off the plane, they know."They've studied Canada, they know what we eat, they know how we do business." WORK IN ENGLISH Though some have mastered the language better than others, all can function in English David Graham, whose consulting firm is designed to bridge the cultural barriers between Canadian and Japanese businessmen, and who lived in Japan for nine years, praises their work ethic."You can drive by the Bentall Centre at 11 p.m.and you know that it's the Japanese offices that are lit," said Graham."And you know that the Japanese Telex operators are in there typing information back to Japan."Their work is their life.And not only do they work, they do their homework " Oshikazu Kawana, president of Nissan Automobile Co.(Canada) Ltd., used to work 12-hour days, including Saturday.Kawana has since slackened his pace.Now he works 10 hour days.Suketaka Kikuchi, president of Mit subishi Canada, says his average work days starts at 9 a m.and ends about 7:30 p.m.Clothing imports cost 18,000 industry jobs MONTREAL (CP) — Increased imports and federal subsidies that discriminate against Quebec are killing Canada’s most important clothing manufacturing centre, Quebec labor leaders said last week.More than 18,000 jobs have been lost in the garment industry in Quebec in the last year, some to Third World countries but many to other provinces, Quebec Federation of Labor president Louis Laberge said.Quebec has about 60 per cent of Canada’s 50,000 clothing workers.“We wonder if it's because 90 per cent of the people working in the industry are women — Quebec women — that the federal government thinks it can drag its feet on this crisis,” Laberge said.Ottawa has offered large subsidies to garment manufacturers outside Quebec who in many cases have used the money to close operations in Montreal and reopen elsewhere, said Gilles Gauthier, local director of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.Gauthier cited the example of $6 million in grants awarded over the last three years to the Winnipeg-based owners of Tan-Jay of Canada, one of the principal employers in Montreal’s sporting wear industry.Today Tan-Jay is laying off the last of its Montreal employees, while opening new operations in Winnipeg.•DOESN'T WORRY” “The (Federal) Liberal party knows it doesn’t have to worry about votes in Quebec at the next election.So they’re sending the jobs out West to buy votes there," Gauthier said.Quebec garment unions had been discussing their import quota problems for the three months with Herb Grey until he was transferred from the federal industry portfolio last week.Gauthier said the new industry minister, Ed Lumley, has offered only "pompous statements” requesting only that the four principal garment exporting countries — China, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong — attempt to restrain production for the balance of the year.The union leader said this will do nothing to stop “dumping" by the countries because their production for the balance of this year, all of next year and much of 1984 has already been contracted and paid for.Quotas on foreign-made clothing should immediately be returned to 1975 levels, reducing imports’ share of the market to 45 per cent from the 51 per cent they represented last year, he said.This alone would create 200,000 garment jobs across Canada, Gauthier said, without violating the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.GATT allows for renegotiation of clauses, he said, if they result in serious unemployment in signatory countries.“They (Ottawa) reacted quickly enough in the case of Toyota,” Gauthier said, referring to deliberate customs delays the government forced this summer on Japanese car imports arriving in Vancouver.The provincial government is also partly responsible for the decline because it has allowed homework to mushroom in the province, Laberge said.The unions estimate that about 30,000 women are now doing garment piecework in their homes for below-minimum wages and without legal protection — as many people as are employed in clothing factories in Quebec.Gauthier said the union disapproves of home piecework, but said it seems to be “the only way for employers to counter foreign competition.” Canadians ignore bank alternatives IMPERIAL OIL LIMITED Domestic clothing manufacturers are suffering as Third M arid imports take over the market.Six-and-five’s okay for six-figure wage earners It's your It’s easy, when your paycheques add up to $200,000 or more a year, to talk about wage restraints.After all, a six-per-cent bump — which is what the federal government recommends for next year — works out to $12,000 on $200,000.Move those commas a bit, and you get a $1,200 increase on a $20,000 salary.And there are a lot more people earning $20,000 a year than there are pulling down a couple of hundred grand So are restraints fair?Robert Munro, director of Toronto-based William M Mercer Ltd., a consulting firm which analyses cross-country wages among other things, says restraints on executives’ salaries now are real.But, he adds, they're little more than window dressing — showing what everyone is suffering from the recession.WANT LEADERSHIP “The idea is to show leadership for the economy.“But in terms of having an impact on the economy, any cuts at the executive levels are simply not a factor in the overall wage bill.” In a labor-intensive industry, Munro estimates, executives make up about one per cent of the work force on average.They get two or three per cent of the company’s payroll.business BY KEN SMITH In service industries, executives — however they’re described — can make up five per cent of employees, and they can account for up to 10 per cent of the wages.“So you can’t cut wage bills significantly by holding down executive salaries,” Munro says.A recent survey by his company of almost 500 firms across Canada showed that executive benefits are expected to rise by about 11.5 per cent this year, compared with an 11.6-per-cent increase for clerical and support staff.Next year, however, these firms project increases of 6.8 per cent for executives and 7.2 per cent for clerical and support workers.The survey covered non union people, and Munro estimates contracts for organized workers will come in a percentage point or so higher than these figures next year.For inflation fighters, that would represent a significant improvement on the 10-or 11-per-cent average jumps for union workers expected this year The top one — Prime Minister Trudeau — was earning $108,500, including tax-free expense allowances, at the beginning of the year and received an 11-per-cent increase then along with other members of Parliament.That was rolled back to a six-per-cent jump with the June 28 budget, and MPs' gains are to be held to six per cent next year and five per cent the following 12 months.TORONTO (UP) Even though Canadians regard themselves as prolific savers, the new chairman of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada wants us to look to vehicles other than banks for our savings.William Livingston, 60, also president of Eaton Bay Financial Services Ltd., says Canadians are ignoring alternative vehicles for their savings.And he says the small investor should seriously consider the 90 investment funds offered by his members.Mutual funds in Canada are marking their 50th year and now account for $3 billion in assets, ironically at a time when economic prospects resemble more and more those of 1932.The difference bet ween then and now, Livingston says, is that the Canadian tax system of 1932 made no provision for the type of mutual or investment funds institute members sell.But many Canadians aren't taking advantage of investment or mutual funds, even though they have no reluctance to salt away money in hank accounts, he says.The institute is set to embark on a public relations campaign intended, among other things, to teach Canadians what investment funds are and show what they can do for the small investors.It comes at a time when many economists complain investment capital is badly needed for the future of the Canadian economy.Livingston says he can forsee a day when people will routinely invest on a Saturday at the shopping mail between stops at me supermarket a nd drugstore.Such a thing is already occurring at his own Eaton Bay outlets.As a separate entity, mutual funds sell units or shares to investors The mutual fund in turn invests in various securities.The concept allows the investor to diversify investments or even invest in securities he could not otherwise afford."We recognize the compelling need for permanent equity capital in Canadian business and believe individual Canadians have the capacity to provide much of it," Livingston says."Our challenge is to build upon our foundations so that 50 years hence, investment funds will occupy a place in the personal financial programs of virtually all Canadians." There is nothing wrong with putting your money jn the bank, he says, but Canadians are often short-changing themselves by not having a mix of places to invest for their future.Arden K.Haynes Aixien 1< Hay nes lias been appointed president of Imperial Oil Limited el feetiveOctober I, 1082 A native of Saskatchewan, Haynes joined Imperial Oil in 1051.following graduation from the University of Manitoba He held a variety of marketing positions until 1073 when be was appointed vice president and general manager ol the marketing department lit 1074 he was elected a director and a senior vice-president of the company Haynes became pres idem and chiel executive otlicer ol l.sso Resources Canada Limited in Septeni her, 1078 and.in October 1081.became chairman ol the board, retaining his position as chiel executive officer He was appointed executive vice-president of Imperial Oil Limited on January I.1082.HUGO STAMP & COIN SHOP The Most Extensive Inventory in the TOWNSHIPS.WfHt WILLING TO DIAL Stamps — Coins — Paper Money Accessories BUY -SELL-TRADl 2164 King St.W.(under Disco Roule) Sh«rb rooks.Quo.Toll S63-OMO .rirofn Give a UNICEF gift to a friend and help a child Be a RED CROSS Blood Donor m s IHP conduite Louzon école de conduite Get With It: Take LAUZON" Driving Lessons NUMBER 1 IN QUEBEC INVITES YOU TO ITS NEXT COURSE IN ENGLISH at BISHOP'S COLLEGE Wednesday, October 13,1982 7 p.m.For More Information & Registration Call: B© école de «¦conduite 1 M conduite Louzon Tel: 566-8366 la fcnfnruru' ¦%- 'J*: BRASSERIE , : 7/ î ri SriMmr a Seigneurie 17 Léger St.Sherbrooke An excellent menu, with affordable prices SPECIAL SEAFOOD BOAT C25 W Coda» included FILET MIGNON Marchand de Vin Sauce fi95 Vr Coffee includad DISCO CLUB LE BOUCLIER For AH Kinds Of Receptions.Reservations: 567-8515 COMING FESTIVAL RESTAURANT Oct.15 to Oct 30th Choice of 3 Entrees Escargots de Bourgogne or Seafood Crêpe or Smoked Salmon Pepper Steak La Seigneurie Dessert Tea $1050 Coffee I Cm SPECIALTIES: Chinese Fondue & Bourguignone Fondue CHEZ BOURGET Come & visit us before you buy.If Your Liking Is Classical, Jazz Or Rock You will find what you need & TURNTABLE MODEL TT1200 CARTRIDGE GTE -GRAD0 it SPEAKERS CODA 11 Suggest this High Quality System at a really Exceptional Price.Value $1033 Only $839.95 AMPLIFIER Model SR 1100 «MINET INC.üi I I i: I;

But in her book Drobot writes — without mentioning the Slinger affair —- that we are far too civilized about breaking up such relationships.We should yell and scream and bawl and "lam willing to be the first in my crowd to admit I go completely around the bend when a relationship fails.” The book is based on letters in a column Drobot used to write for The Globe and Mail called Current Coin In total the book projects the picture of an author who is at ease tussling with the most intimate contemporary sexual problems while also slapping the wrists of louts who neglect to send thank-you notes.Dear Ann Landers: I have a delicate problem and will understand if you can’t publish my letter.But do try, because there must be thousands of women with the same problem who can’t bring themselves to discuss it.I am referring to painful intercourse.I am 60, in good health, had a hysterectomy at 50 and was happily married for 30 years.When my husband died I was sure I could never be interested in another man, but I was wrong.A year ago I met someone very special.Intimacies began a few months later I love the feeling of closeness again and “X” is a wonderful lover He enjoys me thoroughly, and I pretend I am having the time of my life Actually, I can’t wait until it’s over because the pain is awful.I never had this experience with my hasband and wonder if the discomfort may be psychological -caused by guilt - or is Mother Nature telling me I am — Over The Hill In Evanston?Dear Evanston: At 60?What hill?It’s only a mound, dear.See a gynecologist and make sure everything in that department is OK.Doctor George M.Ryan, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Memphis, says the discomfort may be due to an estrogen deficiency that causes drying-out in that area.This is normal for women your age.Dr Ryan went on to say your gynecologist will probably prescribe estrogen pills and a vaginal cream that comes with an applicator.He issued one caveat, however, that does NOT apply to you because you've had a hysterectomy: A very slight risk of endometrial cancer may be present among women who take estrogen.It goes without saying that a woman who has had cancer should not take estrogen in any form.(Ditto for pregnant women.) Dr Ryan pointed out that estrogen reduces the discomfort of hot flashes in postmenopausal females and strengthens the bones that have a tendency to become brittle as the body’s natural supply of estrogen diminishes with age.An overwhelming number of doctors now believe the benefits of estrogen heavily outweigh the risks.Dear Ann Landers: This is for the office cleaning lady who complained becaase high-class slobs put their half-empty paper coffee cups and dirty ashtrays in the wastebasket and she must deal with the slime.In the future, Madame, we shall put them wherever you suggest - except any place anatomical or into our Gucci gym bags.— Guilty In Chicago.Dear Guilty: If my editor okays this, your cleaning lady will see it, and I welcome her reply.Dear Ann Landers: Will you please tell me how to keep those all-important lines of communication open when a teenager’s eyes are hidden behind mirrored shades and her ears are plugged into a headset almost every waking moment?These appliances were purchased with said teenager's own money.The feeling of being totally blocked out drives me crazy.I need some guidance.— Jammed Channels In Lung Island.Dear Jammed: Those all-important lines of communication have been shut down.Nothing is getting through Behind the shades are frightened, insecure eyes.Those ears are plugged because she doesn’t want to hear what you have to say.You have a hostile, rebellious daughter on your hands The help of a professional counselor is clearlv indicated.(And welcome to the club.) Crisis centres blast police rape treatment TORONTO (Cl’) Nearly 4,(MX) Canadian women this year will report they were raped but police will say about a third of them are mistaken or lying and that the rape never happened, say figures released by Statistics Canada Police say only one out of every 33 people who say they have been robbed is mistaken or lying and when it comes to police officers who claim they have been assaulted just one in 250 will not be believed.The statistics on the number of rape cases dismissed by police cause anger among rape crisis centre workers who say police officers continue to think a woman who was raped somehow contributed to the crime.And the number confounds many police officials who are at a loss to explain why they dismissed a total of 1,066 of the 3,625 rapes reported in Canada in 1981.social notes Tina Marie Tina Marie Luce, seven-month old daughter of David and Gloria Luce of Lennoxville and sister of Danny.Tina is the second grandchild of Mr.and Mrs.Donald Luce of Huntingville and the fourth grandchild of Mr.and Mrs.Gordon McIntyre of Dixville.Tina is also the great-granddaughter of Mrs.Ella Luce, Mrs.Mabel Shadbolt, Mrs.Esther Bell and Mrs.Bertha Laroche.Got Arthritis?Get The Facts!
