THE NEWS director of
CFUN-Radio, J.J.
Richards, was so impressed
with the incredible outpour-
ing of love and support
from the Americans at the
Super Bowl in Tampa to the
families and the troops sta-
tioned in the Persian Gulf
that it has inspired him to
make an appeal to all Ca-
nadians.

| wholeheartedly applaud this
unique idea. Whether you agree
with the political implications of
our involvement in the Middle
East war or not, our men and
women are there and they deserve
our support. So J.J.’s suggestion
is, how about sending a Valentine
to our t Oops over there?

Buy one, make one or just write
a note and have the kids draw a
heart on it. Send your love and
show your pride in them and your
support for them in fulfilling our
government's pledge to the United
Nations Resolution.

It's the least we can do, and |
think it’s an excellent idea! Just
wish I'd thought of it!

This is no time for flag burners,
it’s a time for flag-wavers. Show
that you care. Make a valentine
and send it to Canadian Forces,
CFPO 5071, Halifax, Nova Scotia
B3K 2X0, or to CFPO, Box 5000,
Belleville Ont. KOK 3RO. Do it
today!... eee

This may not be war, in the
truest sense, but it does seem to
be an escalating conflict! And it’s
happening out in the usually calm
and placid Fraser Valley!

There is u well-to-do Swiss-
German gentleman by the name of
Ebbo Stromeyer who resides in
that bountiful area. He is the
master of the Fraser Valley Hunt
in Aldergrove.

This 72-year-old man has
devoted 40 years of his life to the
sport of riding to the hounds,
despite taking a bad fall froma
horse during one of the hunts in
November.

So determined was he to con-
tinue this old world tradition,
which is so much more popular in
Europe than in North America,
that he had donated land in
Aldergrove, some five acres, fora
kennel to be built to house hun-

ting hounds. _
Well, the latest news is that the

surrounding neighbors are not as _

thrilled as the fox hunt propo-
nents. In fact, there has now been
an application made to the
Supreme Court for an injunction
to restrain use.

Word is that the present facili-
ties do not meet the bylaw re-
quirements and that the
municipality will insist that the
dogs be moved until a proper ma-
sonry kennel is built — first, to
house the 30-odd English fox
hounds, and second, to cut down
on the noise of the animals.

Can you just imagine, out there
in that peaceful farming com-
munity, 30 dogs howling, riders
yelling, horses galloping and hun-
ting horns blowing every Saturday
from September through March!
As they say, talley ho!...

za. Congratulations!...

The big secret is that there's
another important announcement
coming out about Red any day
now! Stay tunedt...

Right on the heels of Red’s big
do last week, the NABS people
themselves will hold their third
annual big fantasy bash, the
NABS BALL, at 86 Street Music
Hall, on Thursday, Feb. 7.

This is the swinging party where
guests come dressed to the hilt in
every sort of wild and wacky
costume!...

Speaking of costumes, there
were some absolutely fantastic
outfits parading in the lobby of
the Hotel Vancouver last week as
the CBC celebrated Mozart’s
235th birthday with a birthday
party of gigantic proportions.

The North Shore’s contingent
of talent included the charming
host of The Transcontinental, Ot-
to Lowy; former co-host of The
Best Years, Judy Piercy; wine,
food and cat connoisseur and the
host of CBC’s Disc Drive, Jurgen
Gothe; and CBC's PR lady, Joan
Athey.

Also noticed our Pegey
Trendell-Whitiaker at the Truck
Loggers Ball Friday night at the
VT&CC, ever so svelte in an
angora sweater with plunging
neckline teamed with sleek black
party pants! ... Cheers!
