Who’s who Number Two was seated in a (oldinK chair at the end of the dock, a fishing pole m his hand and his old hat stuck round with spinners and flies The password was from Henry VI "Is this the fashion of the court of Enidand?" he inquired softly."Is this the government of Britain's Isle, And this the royalty of Albion's kinK?" “Have a banana," I answered “First time I've seen a Red Alert Must be serious " "Very The truth of the matter is," he said, looking very uncomfortable."we've lost the Government of Canada " "Say what1 Dist?” “Keep your voice down.Letarte," he hissed, squirming in his chair as if his boxers were binding "We didn't lose it exactly We prefer to think it's just misplaced.” "When did it happen?Isn't CSIS supposed to keep an eye on it or something?" His collar was too tight "Don’t rub it in," he said testily and went on to explain that it hadn't disappeared all at once hut had faded away bit by bit, rather like Alice's Cheshire Cal "We noticed an uncomfortable absence during the Meech Lake debate." he went on "But then Mul-roney rolled the dice and we sup posed we'd imagined it But when Quebec announced it was forever distinct and set up a commission to design a new country, when western provinces met western states in Fargo, North Dakota, to forge new ties, when war drums sounded on the Ottawa and a federal bridge was blockaded and still there was no response, we got worried "Finally," he added, “Angus Reid reported the Government of Canada had disappeared entirely from the popularity polls and we had to face up to the fact that it was gone like summer's swallow, lost like airport luggage, vanished like a coed's virginity." "Have you checked the bars and nightclubs?" 1 asked.“How about those strip joints in Hull?" “That’s the first place we looked,” he snapped.“And we’ve searched all the closets, looked under the beds, even sorted through the garbage.It's gone.” "Perhaps it's not lost so much," I suggested, "as in hiding." He got angry then."We thought of that, too, of course," he said, reeling in his line."Either way it's Absent Without Leave and there's serious business to finish.Do you realize that all the forms have been printed for the GST, all the preparations made, and it hasn't even passed the Senate yet?" By TADEUSZ LETARTE He stood up and folded his chair.“Your assignment - should you choose to accept - is to track down the Government of Canada and bring it back alive.Kicking and screaming if necessary." He stuck his chair under his arm and marched off without another word.* * * On the way back to my car, I be gan imagining all sorts of scenarios.I saw it on a bridge at midnight."Goodbye, cruel world! You won't have me to kick around any more." Whee.Splosh.I saw it lying on a slab in the morgue with a luggage label tied to it's big toe.Or in the psychiatric ward of a big city hospital unable to say its name.Or lying dead drunk in an alley or holed up in a cheap motel with a case of gin watching soap opera reruns with the curtains drawn.I imagined it tossed in the slammer finally by the Red Coated Mumblety Pegs or lying on the bottom of the Ottawa River wearing cement shoes or lolling on a beach in a country with no extradition treaty It may even have made a pact with the Devil and been forced to pay the price.The Government of Canada, I knew, was capable of anything Feeling a little like Captain Ahab in quest of the Great White Whale, I launched my investigation with a few discreet inquiries.The answers were not helpful."What do you want it for?" they said.“Is that the one that brought us tainted tuna, high interest rates and Sinclair Stevens?Leave it lost, there’s a good chap.” “I can get you one twice as good at half the price.” My CIA contact met me among the stacks of the Haskell Free Library “Congratulations," he said when I’d explained the problem."You’U have to tell us how you do it sometime 1 understand you've lost your founder, Samuel de Champlain.Can’t imagine us forgetting where we put George Washington or Russia losing Lenin."What’s your secret?We've got four ex-presidents cluttering up the country at great inconvenience and expense." * * * In desperation.I consulted a “Usually reliable source” left over from my journalist days.She lives in a pyramid where astral planes converge, a sort of cosmic crossroads.“We require," said she, in a voice that seemed to come from the bottom of the sea, “Sir John A.Macdonald.” I thought for a minute he was to be her channel to the Great Beyond but an upturned palm made her meaning clear and I reached for my wallet.I was fresh out of Macdonalds but two Wilf Lauriers did the trick.She closed her eyes and began to rock and sway and tremble.She saw, she said, a large cigar-shaped object hovering over Ottawa in the night, sucking up the Government of Canada with a sort of gigantic vacuum cleaner and then zooming away with it for tests.I was out of leads and there was nothing else for it.I wrote a letter to Ann Landers, put ads in the classified sections of all the papers and spent one entire night lettering little cards to stick up in laundromats.“Lost, Stolen or Strayed,” they said “The Government of Canada Reward.(No Questions Asked».” Nothing to do now but sit back and wait.designer is perfectionist PS — first ever humor Production magazine in U.S.S.R.«y -* - C7 I he Canadian Press By Ingrid Abramov itch MONTREAL (CP) - Hey, comrade, want to hear a Gorby joke1 Give a listen to Soviet humorist Leonid Florentlev.”A man stood tor three or four hours in line to buy a bottle of vodka," began Florentiev, a mustachioed Muscovite wearing a bright yellow T-shirt."Finally, he said, ’I can’t stand it any longer I’ll get a gun.go to the Kremlin and kill Gorbachev.’ “After a few hours he returns to the (vodka) line and is asked, ’Did you kill him?' ‘No,’ the man said, ‘there's a bigger line over there."' Since glasnost began, Florentiev says, jokes about Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev have been rampant on the U.S.S R comedy circuit, which is newly out-from-underg round But although the Soviet Union boasts what is probably the most widely read humor magazine in the world — Krokodii, circulation five million — Florentiev says not a single Gorbachev joke or cartoon has been published in the olfieial Soviet press.That may soon change Starting Aug t, private Soviet citizens will be able to start new publications in the country for the first time.Florentiev, 36, in Montreal recently for the Just for Laughs comedy festival, quit his job last week as international editor of Krokodii.He plans to set up the "first ever independent humor magazine in the Soviet Union." JOINS COUNCIL He’s also been named vice-president of an advisory council on world humor announced during the comedy festival.The council is preparing for a world assembly of humorists, which will be held in Montreal in 1992 and will report to the secretary general of the United Nations on the state of world humor.Florentiev says there is a long tradition of political humor in the Soviet Union Lenin himself was a founding member of Krokodii magazine in 1922 and is rumored to have named the magazine, which has published without interruption ever since, even throughout Stalin’s rule.Since glasnost, “all the underground humor has come to the surface," Florentiev says."We have one of the best collections of political jokes in the world." But there is a long way to go, Florentiev finds.He left Krokodii after four years because he felt the magazine was still too closely aligned with the Communist Party."Krokodii has always been a very loyal publication, very orthodox," he says.When Florentiev "saw the absolute futility of any effort to reform from inside." he decided to start his own publication.Soft-spoken, theatrically trained Guy Comtois doesn’t strike one as a guy Hollywood would send to finagle battleships and fighter planes out of U S.navy admirals In fact, Comtois, a Canadian-born production designer who began his career with Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, doesn’t much care for war and destruction.‘‘But I do like military hardware,” corrects Comtois, who was the production designer on Navy Seals, Orion’s new summer movie about the U S.navy’s top-secret commando unit It's hardly his first brush with the naval brass.Comtois, 41, also helped recreate several Second World War battles — including the decisive Battle of Midway in the Pacific — for ABC’s Emmy Award-winning War and Remembrance The gargantuan $100-million TV adaptation of the Herman Wouk best-seller was broadcast in 1988-89.KIND OF GAME "I visited every naval base in the United States, trying to find old battleships” for that project, Comtois recalled recently on the set of If Looks Could Kill, a Hollywood espionage movie being shot in Quebec “And you have to do your research because it’s up to you to go into an admiral's office and convince him to lend you a ship."They start out saying No,’ so you have to learn their language to convince them.It’s kind of a game that you play.” The amiable designer may toss around notions like "play," but so far his career has been mostly work — he hasn't had a holiday in nine years.“People hire me because I can work out of town," notes Comtois who is Los Angeles-based but hardly ever there.Comtois’s international currency is enhanced by his fluency in French and German as well as English Of course, the real reason people hire this modest native of Hawkes-bury.Ont., is that he's a painstaking perfectionist.FINAL TOUCHES It was after midnight during the interview on the set of If Looks Could Kill.Although he had two assistants and a crew of 60 at his disposal, Comtois was right in there making minor adjustments to a set that’s supposed to be an arty Paris loft.“I'll be here all night,” he said matter-of-factly."1 always like to retouch a little just before they shoot, because that way you see the final camera jiosition.Sometimes just bringing an object into the foreground can make an incredible difference." Many top-flight production designers would consider their jobs over when the set is dressed But Comtois claims he genuinely likes to be around when the film is shoo ting — “because if there’s a change (that's needed), that's when it hap- pens.” A graduate of the University of Guelph who picked up an architecture degree in Europe, Comtois switched to the movies from the theatre in 1979.LIVED ON TRAIN He had been hired as art director on the historical Canadian movie The Incredible Mrs.Chadwick and was in Vermont researching vintage trains when the movie fell through.He was immediately picked up to work on Terror Train, a teenage horror flick shooting in Montreal with an untested American actress named Jamie Lee Curtis.“It was a first experience — 1 was thrown in.1 moved into that stationary train and I moved out 21 days later.” In the ensuing years.Comtois has earned two Emmy nominations and worked on such notable TV mini-series as Sadat, based on the life of assassinated Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, and Little Gloria Happy at Last, about American heiress Gloria Vanderbilt __ TOWNSHIPS WKKK FKIDAV JU.V 27 1!**> Tom Jackson plays Othello at Saskatchewan festival SASKATOON (CP) — Tom Jackson’s connection with Shakespeare's Othello goes beyond his starring role.His affinity with one of the bard's most tragic characters is more vis ceral than cerebral, something nurtured in the streets and pool halls of downtown Winnipeg, his home.“I hadn't read Shakespeare, didn't take it in school — wasn’t in school long enough to take it,” Jackson said, finishing the remnants of a late-morning breakfast.“What I do know about Othello is that it was Shakespeare’s opportunity to make a statement against racism.Othello is black In this case he’s not black, he’s Indian.But he could have been Jewish.He could have been any minority.” Le Cirque By Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — Le Cirque du soleil.Quebec’s high-wire success story, is taking its big top act to London and Paris after having wowed North American au diences.But even though it is one of the hottest entertainment shows on this continent, the self-styled ‘merchants of happiness” say they’re nervous about winning over a new public to their combina tion of acrobatics, mime, modern dance and theatre.“We’re shaking a bit in our boots, but maybe that's good for us,” says Guy Laliberte.the stilt walker-cum-f ire-breather-cum magician who founded the troupe six years ago when he was only 23.Jackson stars in Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival’s production of Othello, running until mid August in the big tent on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River The festival was started by Gordon McCall in 1985 and has grown into the province’s only professional summer theatre.It has even been listed as one of the top 100 tourist attractions in North America by the American Tourist Association.BRING CLOSER The idea of the festival was to bring Shakespeare closer to the people of Saskatoon — both in the downtown location and the real-life adaptations.In keeping with festival tradition.Othello will have a contemporary set, modern war- Part of the nervousness stems from the circus’s break-even target of 85 per cent attendance to cover the $6-million cost of its European debut.It’s a formidable challenge in a totally new setting.The normal break-even attendance rate for circuses in North America is (15 per cent.STEPS TAKEN But reflecting its no-nonsense business style, the troupe has already taken steps to ensure it doesn't fall flat when it opens on July 31 for a two-month run at Jubi-lee Gardens in London's Southbank Centre in the heart of the British capital.It has hired the high-powered British public relations firm which drobc and a slight change in plot Instead of leading the Venetian forces against the Turks, Othello will engage in a battle against cor porate forces spoiling the world's environment In whatever form, the battle is secondary to the play’s main themes of jealousy and betrayal, but Jackson said the adaptation hits close to home.Frightful levels of pollution and a standoff between police and Mohawks at Oka.Que., make Othello the environmentalist more relevant, he said."The largest war we're fighting right now is global survival.The global concern is survival and the environment.” Jackson, 41, brings to the play a six-foot-five frame, sonorous handled publicity for such West End hit shows as Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera.The fact that the circus doesn't have any lions jumping through hoops or indeed any four-legged performers has already won them an enthusiastic advance press in animal-rights-conscious Britain 'The British press is calling us the ‘green circus' because we don't have animals, we’re very ecological.we're very avant-garde,” says Jean David, marketing vice-president.After its London show.Le Cirque du soleil (Circus of the Sunt moves on in October to Paris for a three-month

gambler.I've had more real life experience to apply to day-to-day survival ’’ Those lengthy poker games where the wrong facial expression can lead to disaster helped Jackson develop the necessary emotional control for the theatre OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED It was after such a game that he received a phone call that started his acting career McCall, then ar tistic director of a Winnipeg theatre company, wanted Jackson to take a part in The Ecstasy of Rita Joe.His acting career took off Since then Jackson has appeared in ma med.Next year, the circus plans to tour Germany, Spain and Italy.There may be no performing pa chyderms but the one-ring circus has all the traditional razzmatazz of a circus and more — with acts that display a dare d evil showmanship, captivating wit and originality — all to a jazzy music score The circus had its origins during the Tall Ships Festival in 1984 commemorating the 350th anni versary of Jacques Cartier's arrival in Quebec City.Back then, they were a collection of street performers, staging their antics for tourists attending the festival.Helped out largely by government grants.Laliberte launched ny plays and television produc

The line brings triumphant gig gles from the kids in the crowd while the adults chuckle in sympathy But Krulick isn't kidding.At 38, he figures he's got another two years maximum left in him as a street perfogpicr "After40?Noway."hesaysem-phatically in an interview between show sat Edmonton's recent Street Performers Festival “It's like being a dancer or a baseball player.You start getting older, you just don’t have the stami na you used to have."I used to be able to do six shows in the hot sun, grab a quick meal and then do a couple more at night Now, two or three a day and I'm completely winded.And 1 have to use a microphone and amplifier — you used to be able to hear me seven blocks away." OTHER GIGS Krulick, who works under the name Al Shakespeare, is a veteran of nearly two decades as a busker — as street entertainers are traditionally called — in San Francisco and his current home, Boston.He is also fairly typical of the breed in that husking makes up only part of his earnings.In winter he works in the so-called legitimate theatre, most recently with a troupe called the Boston Baked Theatre.He also catches odd jobs doing voice work for industrial films and commercials.At Christmas he’s a department store Santa.Born in New York, Krulick says his love of performing began when he was six years old.The kids in his neighborhood decided to put on a show for their parents to raise money for charity.“I got together with a friend and we did two routines," he recalls fondly.“One we stole from a children’s joke book and the other we wrote from scratch.” STUDIED MIME While studying with a mime instructor in San Francisco, he took the plunge and braved the stage one day near Fishermen’s Wharf.All he had were his juggling balls and a harmonica.“I did about five or 10 minutes, some of it with my eyes closed because I was so terrified, and I made $5,’ he says with a laugh.“Right away I knew this was for me.” His stage name came from a trio he performed with while a cast member of the Boston Shakespeare Company in the mid 70s.“We called ourselves the Shakespeare Brothers,” Krulick says.“We split up about five years ago, but I decided to keep the name." ACT TRADITIONAL While innovation and originality have their place, Krulick likes to keep his act traditional and family oriented.He starts things off with a puppet named Vibes McCool — a bright green creation with a Brillo-pad afro and a penchant for singing the blues — and moves into some standard magic tricks.“I haven’t really changed my street act for several years." lie admits.“I’ve kind of decided that people like this, so why change something that works'.”' Group Country Fever Group Rocky River Band SLPLACE DU COMMERCE.MAGOG • 868.1184 Thursday - Friday Saturday - Sunday board.Since I was there, they just turned around and said.'Chris, you come along."' Four years later, it was McVie's turn to make room for new faces.In 1971, Spencer disappeared for five days before the band discovered he had joined a California sect called Cult of God.Spencer’s replacement, Bob Welch, quit the band.Another guitarist, Danny Kirwan, was fired.Reduced to just the two McVies and Fleetwood, the band took a chance on an obscure California husband and-wife team with an al bum called Buckingham Nicks.Christine gave them a tryout.VERY CLOSE “That was the biggest thrill of my life.” McVie recalled of their first meeting.“I had written Say You Love Me.I sang the chorus to them and.immediately, Stevie and Lindsey came to me with these amazing harmonies.I remember getting these chilis inside.We immediately liked them both and they liked us.We were all very close.We socialized a lot at Week’s top Here are the week’s Top 10 country songs in Canada, based on radio play, as compiled by the national music trade source.The Record Bracketed figures indicate position the previous week.1(1) The Dance — Garth Brooks 2 (2) He Walked On Water— Randy Travis 3 (3) On Down The Line — Patty Loveless 4 (5) Nobody's Talkin' — Exile the beginning I shared an apar tment with Stevie for a while We’re more like family now than friends.We get together for holi days or I’ll have a party at my house."

TOWNSIUI’N WKKK HU KAN Jl'I.A •, Being guardians of the region's history includes mountains of documents Sherbrooke’s Historical Society keeps past on file By Claudia Villernaire SHERBROOKE — Did you know that you can rent a taped walking tour of Sherbrooke’s North Ward Directing your feet up and down this residential quarter, it describes the graceful manors and stately mansions built when, as the oldtimers would say, ‘a dollar went a lot further.Few could afford to build like this these days’.Or, if walking is not your bag but touring is, the Sherbrooke Historical Society has another tape that takes you.in the comfort of a vehicle, on a grand tour of the city, hitting the high spots of heritage homes, old mill sites and visiting dams and waterways.You might wonder how come this Society, formed in 1927 doesn't have a regular museum where objects relating to Sherbrooke’s history are always on display.But that’s the secret of their success.UNCONVENTIONAL Rather than develop a conventional museum, the Sherbrooke Historical Society, formerly known as the Eastern Townships Historical Society, nurtured the role of guardian of the area’s written history.Today, the Society’s headquarters, located in what was formerly the carriage house at Domaine Howard, is chock full of local newspapers, most collections dating from the first issues.“We are guardians of local history,” Louise Brunelle-Lavoie said, as we leafed through yellowed pages of early Sherbrooke Daily Records.“The Society is dedicated to interpreting local history and events,” Lavoie explained.“Of course, we do exhibitions but they are an interpretation of our history using the documentation and some objects to present a particular topic.” So, visitors to the museum find an exhibition which often depicts such things as the development of hospitals in the city or the growing textile trade around the turn ol-the-century.Interpretation is (he key word in any project so documents on display are backed up by some objects such as photos which graphically portray Sherbrooke’s earliest days and how the city grew and changed.WIDESPREAD MANDATES “When the Society was formed, there were only two others in the Townships and at (hat time, their mandate really covered a widespread territory," Lavoie explained.But almost every county has their own society now so the name was changed to the Sherbrooke Historical Society in 1989.Now priority is preserving the documented history of the region and its first families as well as the heritage buildings which are found throughout the city.The historical society is working on a project right now that involves the first building used by Dr.Noel as a hospital.We know it as the Hotel Dieu today, but this institution was first housed in Dr.Noel’s own home, a building that is still intart, but could he threatened with démoli lion in the foreseeable future.La vole said “The Historical Society is pulling all the stops it can to save this buil ding," Lavoie added.“That’s just one example of our priorities.” Sixty-three years is a long time to be collecting historical documents and records.Their present location is filled to the ceiling and requests for genealogical research are a daily fact of life.HISTORY FILLED “Can you imagine the history we have contained here." Lavoie asked.Newspapers long defunct are ca refully maintained in huge folders.A person might find the report of a train wreck in Richmond nearly a century ago or the tale of cattle thieves operating near Cookshire in the early 20s.Business reports, trade and travel are all there.One can follow industrial development, housing construction, accident reports ar rival and departure of local personalities and families and of course, follow the course of justice and local authority through the years.The Sherbrooke Historical Society is a fun place to visit, even if there's no exhibition.We had the added bonus of visiting the current exhibition which tells of the development of grist and sawmills as well as the inevitable carding and spinning mills which went hand in hand with community development in the early days."Often we either haven’t the objects needed to illustrate an exhibition ( grist mills or sawmills), so, as in this case, we have fabricated miniature water wheels and even a hand-driven grinder that demos-ntrates how these mills worked.” Lavoie pointed out INTERPRET HISTORY "This way, visitors interpret the documents and photos through actual objects,” she said."That's what we re all about.” Financing comes mainly from all levels of government as well as a large membership and lots of vo lunteers.But they do charge a small admission fee and there's a service charge when their genealogist works with someone doing re search.The historical society is also so metimes commissioned to set up displays about a particular area of interest, such as the development of health care in the region.These smaller displays are hired by various organisations and the society transports and set them up outside the museum, the director explained.But there are major changes in « the wind.The Society will soon leave thi’ calm and tranquility of Domaine ;

), Rick Nelson, Three Dog Night, Bob Dylan, and of course the most recent Hiatt presence was his penning of “Thing Called Love" which lifted Bonnie Raitt out of undeser ved obscurity with a chart topping album and three Grammies.Hiatt's songs have a special richness that can, in part, be attributed to his diversified background of picking up the Memphis feel for R&B by musical osmosmis and hanging around in Nashville with such country legends as Norbert Putnam or Harlan Howard His rock n' roll licks come naturally from having rubbed shoulders w ith the likes of Nick Lowe on previous projects.On the title track to Stolen Moments.and on "Back Of My Mind" Hiatt reaches into the autobiogra phical mode to pull out a couple of the more poignant songs he's writ ten.“Stolen Moments" makes a passing, heartfelt reference to his alcohol battles "I used to drink a lot in those days you see/ Ya, that’s the way the wind blows/ These days the only bar 1 ever see/ Has got lettuce and tomates ' There are many tracks among the twelve here that will be poun ced upon as eagerly as Bonnie Raitt did w hen she made her fortm tous choice of "Thing Called Love" Earl Thomas Conley has already lifted "Bring Back Your Love To Me", and is making it a big country hit; sure to catch the fancy of artists who enjoy the mystique of old rock is “Rock Back Billy", about a rock n' roll reprobate who played “swamp guitar" and "took a gig playing bass with Sonny and Cher".Musicians who were recruited by Hiatt to assist on this studio session include Ethan Johns, the son of Glyn.described as having so much talent he “should be made to wear weights or something", who plays everything from drums to guitar to mandolin to percussion; Billy Payne of the fabulous Little Feat, whose keyboard contributions to Hiatt's album are an inspiration; luminaries such as Wix, from McCartney’s band, and Chuck Leavell, the Rolling Stones' veteran ivorymaster; and a few members of Hiatt’s roadcrew.the Goners.With this kind of musicianship.Hiatt's powerful songs and infectious voice, it seems only a matter of time before he clearly establishes his own star identity as 1 a performer in addition to his songwriting credits that are so ex tensive.Human Radio Human Radio (COLUMBIA).It would be a shame if this inventive group from the city of Mem phis.Tennessee only became iden tified by the cute song about that city’s most famous former citizen "Me and Elvis" may lie an infectious hit of pop from Human Ra dio's chief writer.Ross Rice, but the group from Elvis's hometown is an American version of the early Queen very tuneful melodies, quirky subjects, and an eye to the social fabric Me and Elvis ’ isone of the few songs on Human Radio s debut that lets a bit oil whimsical nostalgia seep through the otherwise acerbic commentaries on American society The ploy that is used on the Fl\ is song is that the narrator and the King were once good buddies Me and Elvis used to have a good time we d cash in all our coke bottles to buy a quart of wine", but some of the events of rock n' roller s weird lifestyle also make it into the song."

Crutches.(A miracle?) False teeth.(Decided on the natural look?) Sex toys.(No comment).Plus paintings of Elvis on velvet.Clothes everything from designer overcoats to underwear.Cameras.All manner of jewelry.About 1,200 articles a month ar rive at Air Canada’s lost-and-found centre at Montreal's Dorval International Airport.The centre has racks of coals and jackets, shelves of huts, bins of shoes, a two-metre-tall double filing cabinet filled with cameras, radios and watches, and drawers full of key sets and eye glasses.Another room next door is filled with unclaimed checked luggage, a separate operation from lost-and-found.Items there recently included car parts, a large carpet, oars, hockey sticks, two wheelchairs, bicycles, a skateboard and several rows of strollers.PERSONAL VALUE Many of the items aren't worth much money But to Tom filing, a senior manager in Air Canada's baggage services department, each has value."It's a little more personal in lost-and-found.It’s a stuffed bird, a set of car keys.Everything’s important — we have children’s diaries in here sometimes.” A single full-time employee tries to match reports of lost items with the found articles and to trace owners of articles that don’t match any reports of loss.”In some cases they have almost nothing to go on and yet they find the people,” said Illing, who has a fund of stories about successful tracing efforts.He remembers some particularly well, such as the handbag found on a plane in Vancouver and sent to the Montreal centre.PLAYED TAPE There was no identification in the purse but there was a cassette tape.The woman in lost-and-found played the tape and was able to get the owner’s name from it and phone her in Vancouver.“The owner was a lady in her 80s.It had been her last trip to Britain and she had been taping her fami ly,’ Illing recalled.“The reason it struck me as unusual was that I was in the room at the time and the employee was crying.I thought there was some problem."It turned out it was tears of joy, because the lady on the other end of the phone was crying with joy.” Illing says a good number of the items found are never reported lost.“Maybe it’s a case of they’re not sure where they lost it — in the cab, in the hotel, in the plane.It depends on the item, but they might not think it’s worth phoning around."We have a strange one now — a wedding dress left in a garment bag on a plane.It’s been here a couple of weeks.” KEPT FOUR MONTHS Items are kept for about four months.Then cameras, watches and other similar valuables are sold at public auction — Air Canada keeps the proceeds — while most of the other items go to charities.In the hotel industry, the lost-and-found business can be a rather delicate matter.“The guest's reasons for staying in a hotel may be business or they forgotten may be personal,” says John Rou-meliotis, front-office manager at the Delta Hotel in Montreal.Or, as another industry official put it: “Picture this: Mr.Smith and his mistress check in for a night, and when they leave they forget a black neglige.“An overzealous hotel housekeeper mails the neglige to Mr.Smith’s home.Mrs.Smith opens the parcel.” GUEST MUST ASK So although a hotel may have the address of a guest who has forgotten something, it won’t, as a rule, return the item until the guest asks for it.Items that end up in the lost-and-found at hotels range from cameras to cash to lots of underwear.Adult magazines are common, and occasionally adult toys turn up too.One guest at the Four Seasons Inn on the Park in Toronto recently cleared out her hotel safety deposit box before leaving — but somehow forgot a pair of diamond earrings worth $20,000.“Normally we wait to hear from a guest, but in this case we called her,” said John Kerr, head of security at the posh hotel.A man once left his false teeth behind at the Hyatt Regency Van couver.He came later to pick them up.“We had to keep his teeth around for six weeks because he was in England and he didn't want us to mail his teeth to him,” says hotel spokesman Mat Wilcox.Roumeiiotis advises people to check every inch of their hotel rooms before leaving."We’ve found billfolds, money belts and jewelry pouches taped underneath beds or even behind pictures, because they figure if anyone breaks into the room they won't look in those areas.“But they themselves don't look in those areas before they leave.” Over thirty airlines have fatality-free safety records By The Canadian Press When Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie Ram Man mum-tiled that Qantas had never had an accident, it was the kind of publicity money can't buy for Australia's national airline But as the July issue of Conde Nast Traveler shows, 30 other carriers have fatality-free safety records over the past 20 years.In a rcjMirt on the world's safest airlines, the magazine found 31 carriers were without a fatal accident from 1969 to 1988 Canadian Airlines International data included the record of its predecessor CP Air was among them, but Air Canada was one of 49 carriers with fatalities Air Canada had four accidents in which a total of 126 passengers died, translating into 0.61 deaths |K*r million passengers With so many earners boasting a perfect record, the magazine rated them by number of flights and, in another list, by number of passen gers carried.The top five by number of flights were Southwest Airlines (United States», Ansett (Australia), KLM (Holland).Finnair (Finland) and Canadian Airlines Top five by number of passengers were Southwest, Ansett.KLM.Singapore Air and Hawaiian Airlines.The five carriers with the worst accident records based on number of flights were Aeroflot, China Airlines.Turkish Airlines, Kgyp-tAir and CAAC (China).Based on passengers, the poo rest records belonged to Turkish Airlines, Air
