Council takes umbrage —

Terrace council moved
Monday to seek legal
opinion on taking action
against Kolbjorn Eide,
Walt McIntyre, Royce
Condie, and Les Hayes for
what they say may be

possible slanderous
statements,
The four Terrace

residents had sent a letter
to council members con-
cerning storm drainage on
Sparks and Gair, the site of
anew apartment complex.
They claim the building
has created drainage

problems in the area and is
responsible for the flooding
of part of Eide's property.

Alderman Bob Cooper
pointed out two statements
in the letter which he says
could possibly be slan-
derous and libellous. The
first accused public works
personnel of carrying out
“sloppy studies'’ on the
drainage problem, which
they conclude will result in
Terrace taxpayers paying
for a costly new drainage
system for one apartment
site. ,

"Beat Inflation. inflation

The second statement
asks that “persons
responsible for supplying
and supporting suck costly
errors should be relieved of
their duties."

After some debate on the
wording of the motion,
council finally passed an
amended form, which also
requested that the in-
spector of municipalities
review the situation before
any legal action is taken.
Cooper says that will take
several months

Harris. He went from

ALL ABOUT

PEOPLE

At age 77, renowned
art historian Kenneth
Clark admits his

. fascination has turned
to photographs of
women.

“T Jove cover girls. 1
see more and more
beautiful ones. 7 tear
them off and keep them
tucked under my bed.”

Clark, the author of
Feminine Beauty,
thinks Swedish-born ac-
tress Greta Garbo is the
most beautiful woman
ever, but adds, “She's
not very interesting, you
know. Very quiet.”

Clark, known as the
host of the popular BEC
series Civilization,
describes feminine
beauty a5 “harmony of
the whole ... combined,
of course, with an inner
life. Feminine beauty
without la vie interieure
is of no interest.”

Twa Texas
businessmen shelled out
$14,000 over the
weekend for a slice of
Hollywood
memorabilia. Now all
they have to do is finda
way to split it up.

The eyepatch worn by
the late John Wayne in
the movie True Grit
fetched the top price at
the charity auction to
raise funds for the City
of Hope Medical Centre
in Los Angeles.

Miss Piggy's lavender
evening glove sold for a
thrifty $250 and former
US. president Ger-ald
Ford's 24-karat gold-
plated putter was $475.
A sword used by
Richard Burton in
Camelot was bought for
$750.

Larry Holmes may be
world boxing champion,

Tribune's John Van

but buying was bullish
for Muhammad All's
autographed gloves.
Ali's went for $2,500, and
Holmes’s pulled in a
mere $750.

Is Canadian pianist
Andre Laplante really
composer. Franz Liszt
incarnate?

A Chicago music
critic says the
Rimouski, Que.,
recitalist, “with his
backswept hair and
ascetic features
bears a resemblance (to
Liszt) that is positively
spooky.”

The Chicaga
Rhein hailed the 40-
yearold Laplante for
‘an impressive
showing” in a recital at.
Orchestra Hall last
week, which the music
critic says confirmed
his high rating as silver
medallist at the 1978
Tchaikovsky com:
petition in Moscow.

Philip Caprio didn't
think his ath wedding
anniversary was worth
the fuss, but he and wife
Rafaela sat at the head
table ata Newark, J,
restaurant as 4330
friends and relatives
celebrated for him.

The Caprios — Philip,
97. and Rafaela, 95 —
are believed to be the
longest-married couple
still living. The Guin-
ness Book of World
Records says a Bom-
bay, India, couple were
married for 66 years
and a London couple
were united for 82 years,
but both couples now
are dead.
