Patriclan Anne McKinnon is reviving her singing
career after 10 gruelling years battling cancer.

Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, she wag in the
limelight on CBC-TV’s old Singalong Jubilee almost
as much es Anne Murray and her older sister,
Catherine McKinnon. .

A regular on the’show for 11 yeara, ‘she was hit with
a barrage of troubles and since 1978 has suffered two
bouts of ‘Hodgkin's disease, a form of lymphatic
cancer, She was fired from the show during a period
in which much of her time was being taken up by
radiation therapy. Her husband left her about the
same time. '

But McKinnon said the string of setbacks only
strengthened her resolve.

“It's never been my nature to be negative,” she
said, “I just don’t think it was my time to die.”

Now in remission after her second bout with can-
cer, she has released a single record called Suddenly
and is also working on a CBC-TV special to be
-broadeast later this year,

Looks like The Rolling Stones aid get some .

satisfaction.

The group and their business manager from the
1960s have settled a lawsuit, agreeing the band will
get ils royalties promptly and the manager still w.
control valuable copyrights.

The Stones were seeking a “commercial divorce"

- 80 they could take over copyright to all of their pre- . -

1970 songs, now worth millions of dollars.

Lead singer Mick Jagger testified in federal court
earlier this month that former business manager
Alien Klein constantly misted'the group. |

But the Stones have agreed that recording com-- . fj

panies owned by Klein — a former manager of the
Beatles who advised the Stones during the 1960s —
still hold rights to music the group issued before 1970.
And Klein has agreed to pay the Stones’ royalties on
time.

“We feel very good about it,” said L.P. Parcher,
the Stones’ lawyer.

Dave Parker, a former Pittsburgh Pirates out-
fielder, claims the ring he received for helping the
National League baseball team win the 1979 World
Series contains fake diamonds.

Parker, now a member of Cincinnati Reds, said he
asked a jeweller to replace a stone that had fallen
from thering with a diamond from an earring he used

‘to wear. The jeweller told him the stones are

“definintely not diamonds.”

“We were fighting from behind the whole year and .
look what we got, fake stones,” Parker said.
_ "They were diamonds,” maintains Pirates vice-.
president Joe O'Toole. ‘They were certified. Every
ring was guaranteed and registered. Tell him. to
return the ring to me and we'll takecare of it.”*

The players received gold rings containing 10,
three-point diamonds. Team scouts and officials
received rings with artificial diamonds, O'Toole said,
adding he would try to learn “what's what’ with
Parker's ring. ;

“Tell him to work rea) hard and maybe be. can 1 get
another one," O”Toola added.

All good things must come to an end — even
cabooses, |

Canadian National Railways has applied for per-
mission to conduct tests of trains without the familiar
black-and-red caboose. :

Traditionally, a rear brakeman responsible for
checking for alr pressure In a freight-train's braking
system rides in the caboose. But CNR wants to
replace the rear brakeman with an electronic
monitoring device known as the end-of-train unit,
which can detect an interruption in air-pressure to
the braking system and stop the train automatically,

A Canadian-made end-of-train unit, which attaches
onto the last coupler of the last car of a freight train,

. had a rellability factor of $8 per cent during recent

tests, said CNR vice-president Jack Cann.

“The caboose itself is no longer necessary to our
train operations,” said Cann. “We can accomodate
the crew who ride in it at the head-end of the train
(the locomotive). ”
