4The Canadian Statesman, Bowmnanville, July 21, 1976 Section Two Hlorrorscope by John Squirrelly A great deal of interest bas been shown in recent years in what might be termed the occult sciences such as astrol- ,gy, fortune telling and teacup reading. Any number of other- wise normal people are buying personal horoscopes cast for them by sleek men in turbans and business suits who occupy very large and expensive offices and who usually have the unearned titie of Swami something-or-other. Little old ladies who attend Madame Lozonga's tea par- lour for'a reading and are told they will meet a taîl, dark stranger are suddenly struck by the Madarne's prophetic abilities when one of ten million people fitting the description subsequently ac- costs themn and àsks for directions to the local beer store. Needless to say, knowing the sort of generaities that the clairvoyants deal in, I was rather surprised to discover that a friend of mine had a personal horoscope which lhe consuted constantby. We met at the bocal pub. "Richard," 1 said in dis- belief," "sureby you don't believe ail that bunk?" "John," lie repli ed earnest- ,y, "you woùldn't beieve how accurate it is. Why, just the other day 1 checked my horoscope and it said 'Stress dynamic approach - be inde- pendent, inventive, daring. Take a chance on your own abilities'. So I did." "And what happened?" I asked. ."My boss gave me the sack, but that had beený predicted, too. The day before it had said 'Look for significant changes soon '. You see how it ail cornes true'? By the way, you don't happen to be a Libra, do you? My forecast for today said to beware of a Libra." III haven't the faintest idea," I told him, "and 1 don't really care. But I arn concern- ed about what you are going to do now." My friend leaned back in his chair. 'II don't know but tomorrow's prediction says 'Today you'll be happier, more active. Prosperous cycle begins now. Youll corne alive.'I can hardly wait. I tel you, John, that Swami Ban- nerjee is the best in 'the business." Overhearing this, a man at the next table snapped bis head around and said, "Ban- nerjee! That mountebank? He doesn't know a zodiac from a zombie and I wouldn't trust hirn to predict yesterday. If you want somebody really good, you should, try my advîsor, Swami Krishna. Now, there's a man who can chart the future. By the way, you don't happen to be a Libra, do you?"' My friend turned to the intruder and said to him, "No, but I've heard of your Swami Krishna and, if I'm not mistaken, heB's already pre- Oven and Open Kettie Unsafe.for Canning There is no question about it. unsure and sometimes unsafe -ail fruits, încluding toma- waytgoautreevg toes, must be home carmed by fod, insist food specîalists at the hot water bath method to the Ontario Food Council, guarantee a well-sealed pro- Mfinistry of Agriculture and duct that won't turn dark or Food.

It must be a constant source of amazement to him that it's stibi here. Also, I believe he's under a deporta- tion order for having con- vinced Jean Drapeau that the Olympics' would be self- financing. Frankly, I wouldn't go near that charlatan unless I had a warrant committing him to the boobv hatch." "Oh yeah," said the other, "well, I know for a fact that your friend Bannerjerk said the Anti-Inflation Review Board would neyer get off the ground. Maybe he should have been thinking about the air- ines. 1 think the old fraud's crystal bail should be repos- ,sessed. " The'conversation was be- coming very heated and, as they both got out of their chairs and advanced on each other in order to make their points in a more, direct fashion, I decided it was tirne to step between them to prevent- the onset of an unseemly brawl. When I regained conscîous- ness, I noticed that the two were seated at a table in the corner, apparently engaged in a frîendly and animated conversation. Drawing up a chair, I joined them. Richard introdluced the stranger as Hartley, adding hie was abso the owner of a business that was sinilarto that which my friend had just lef t. "So," Hartley was saying, "Isince you don't have any- thing to do, why- don't you corne to work for me. I think I can guarantee you a position that will be much better than your last one and it will be a big belp to me." .I interrupted to ask how it came about that they became agreeable so quickly after what appeared to be the start of a battie royal. "Well,", Richard started, 1"we discovered that there was a tremendous sirnilarity bie- tween our two horoscopes, and we were destined to meet to our mutual, benefit. " "Not only that," Hlartley continued, "we both were warned to avoid an evil Libra Business Directory who would try to keep us apart. Since I'rn a Pisces and he's a Capricoro, we realized it couldn't be us. By the way. when's your birthday?" "October 10" I said. "îA LIBRAP" Richard ex-, clairned, horrified. "He even looks evil," Hart- bey said, rising and backing away. "But remember that it also said bis mabevolence would be costly to him. Now, let's get out of here." They hurried- out the door and I was beft alone to muse on the quirks of naturethat would lead grown men to believe in such nonsense. t was true that my friend did wind up with what appeared to be a better job and, of course, 1 did try to keep thern apart but only to prevent an altercation. And, as to its being costly to' me, webb that was just a big laugh. Just then, the waiter came over and presented me with a bibi for $12.50. "This is outrageous," I, protested, "I only had one drink. The other two guys had the rest." "They ain't nobody left but you, buddy, so the tab is twelve and a haîf," the waiter said, squaring bis shoulders and moving forward in the style of Mohamrned Ali. I paid and from the change I got,' I selected a. coin. "Heads it's Bannerjee, tails it's Krishna." oPP Rce p or t The Newcastle office of the Ontario Provincial Police in- vestigated 18 reports of pro- perty damage as the resuit of automobile' accidents from Juby 6-13.

Care m- Freezing is flot only the best but also the easiest way to preserve raspberries for use during the winter months, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Counc il, Ministry of Agriculture and Food., Choose firm, fuliy mature bei-ries and wash only if necessary. Handle carefuliy to avoid squashing or bruising them. Prepare a syrup allowing 2 cups of sugar to every 3 cups of water. Pack the fruit loto rigid freezer containers and cover with the cooked syrup, leaving at least one inch of, headspace to allow for expan- sion during freezing. To keep the fruit submerged in the syrup, Place a small piece of crumpled waxed paper be- tween the fruit and lid. Raspberries can also be frozen in dry sugar. Allow 2-3 cup sugar for every four cups o f bei-ries. Gently and briefly s tir the sugar loto the measur- edbrries, then pack in freezer containers.
