The:

North Shore News _

accuracy of " Alexander’ Ss
crystal-gazing at this time last year has surprised even the.
author. If you could check the North Shore News of December
29, 1976, you’d find that at least.60 per cent of Alexander’s
prophecies for 1977 were right on. Fortunately, hardly. any of
you still have a North Shore News of December 29, ‘1976 —

~ first. ‘venture — into.

' around—which further encourages me to offer you ‘the
following capsule forecast for 1978. ° ;

At the forthcoming federal
election Jee Clark will defeat
Trudeau by a slim margin—.
always provided Trudeau
doesn’t defeat Joe Clark by a
slim margin. Rene  Lev-
esque’s smoker’s cough will
get worse and the separatist
referendum still won’t have
been held. In short, business ©
as usual in Canada.

In Victoria Bil Bennett’
and his boys will continue to.

BY LOIS LIGHT

Surrounded by wrappings,
cards, gingerbread and
tinsel, it’s as hard for me to
find the time to write this as.
it will be for you to find the’

time to read it. But you have ~
to rest your feet some time so

put them up and see what’s
.in store for you when. all the
= hassle is over.

First, of course, will be the
fine, exciting, value-packed |
one-day ‘seminar. There
really will be something on
that Saturday, January 14,

for everybody, and ‘tell all -

your friends. and relations
who may not read their
papers. Besides the old
_ faithfuls of dancing, cooking,
art, automotive, and wriier’s

workshop (of. | course!)’
there’ll be new things like
‘“MICRO-WAVE COOK-
ING” and = ‘“‘SHIATSU’’
which is. rather like foot. .
reflexology all over the body.

‘Pre-register for these cour-
ses, which will spare you

waiting in line on the’

morning.

And when that seminar is
over, it will be time for the
winter courses to begin. And
naturaily, we have some new
ones coming up for you. How
about ‘‘CARPET-LAYING”’
to save you a considerable

chunk of money? This isn’t
hard. It just takes know-how,
