_. What ao: you think of astrology?

. STEWART: Tm afraid I'm

about where you — were earlier in your life. I really

never have given it much -

attention. I may not have had a closed mind, but I sure have -not done anything much to open it!

‘I have given myself a that someday I'll look into it, but

enjoy that, I also feel a little bit out of: my -league. Id really rather wait a while for

heavy love-making. It just

-doesn’t seem to be for me.

My, problem is this: the kids I like most are all iato these things more than I am. They seem to accept me very. well. I have a pretty sure ..féeling that they like me and.

they hardly: ever try to get -

US. travel agents told told

Tourism B.C. is taking concerted action to ensure that U, .S. travellers are “fully aware” there is no gasoline shortage in the province, Tourism and Small Business Development’ ‘Minister Elwood Veitch said today:

Veitch said his ministry has sent a message, “Don’t Sell British Columbia Short”, to 16,000 travel agents and

members of the, American _

Automobile Association.

The direct-mail piece states three reasons why U.S. travellers should consider B.C. as their vacation destination this year: there is no gasoline shortage in B.C.;_ the Canadian dollar is down, which means that the U.S.

dollar is worth “rom 15 to 18.

per cent more in Canada; and. new U.S. customs regulations allow an increase in the value of duty-free goods U.S. residents can take home.

Elaborating on the fatter point, Veitch said U.S. visitors staying less than 48 hours can now cach take home $25 worth of goods, an increase of $10, while after 48 hours it becomes $300 per

person, up by $200.

In addition, the new rules allow families to pool their duty free exemptions.

The minister said Tourism

B.C.'s ‘present advertising campaign in travel trade publications has been

the wrong way. Not because they don't do them, . ‘but,

because. most of them seem. to be intolerant of others.,.1 get the feeling they are self-

_wighteous and that just

doesn’t sit-well with me. I’ve paid attention to them because once in a. while I .wonder if I. ought to ease away from my main crowd of

' friends and get myself into a

different circle of people who are not into some of the things my best friends do.

would have been kind and

sensitive and fun to be with?”

——t,

Now all you astrology buffs,

don't write in to tell.

STEWART: Don't waste too - much energy trying to “fit © in” to ANY group. It isso ‘much more rewarding, and

more: fun, to fit in to your own higher self, your own person that you are and want to be. ;

Your friends who are “experimenting” with things — that do not appeal. to you, seem to like you and accept | you as you are and that’s

good. It's a cinch they need ©

someone like you to whom they can relate joyfully without insisting you-”be

exactly like them and in)

whom they admire in-

me. I have the wrong idea of astrology. I am quite aware that that cartoon is not lifted from the sort of astrology YOU know about.

1 do 7? Someday,

My sign is Aries. Or do you say, “I am an Aries”? What does that do for me? But back to your question.

Just this oncé, ,, taste a Bacardi rum.

before you add anything. It’s a beautiful way to see why Bacardi goes with soda, water, ginger and almost anything else.

‘dependence and a sense of unique entity.

You are YOU. and they'sé see. that and receive you as you - “are (most of the time). Keep on being you!

The other crowd (the ones” who seem intolerant to you self-righteous), may -need what you are even more than your friends do. But why “fit in” to cither .group?

‘With. either crowd, if you . Sense you are moving away from your own best self. in order to be included, don’t “run”! Stick around, but be

‘the person you like.

hati is 5 your star sign, Hayden? -

‘You ask, “What do yout think

of astrology?”

Well, obviously, I don’t

think ABOUT it very. much

I may. -

Meanwhile, perhaps the

stars will keep on doing their

thing, even if I seem to snub them.
