EDMONTON JOURNAL, TuomIuv, July 4, Elderly Sonic oddities from a columnist's mail Healing Shrinks Piles, Checks Itch Inclusive healing substance proven to shrink and repair damaged tissue. Bookies favor Fischer LONDON (Reuter) Ladbrokes, the London bookmakers, todav quoted Bobby Fischer as a 5-to-2 favorite to win his world champiunship challenge in Reykjavik against Russia's Boris Spassky. Chess director of the Royal Alexandra, was vehement in his denial that anyone had been turned away, if recommended for admittance by a physician. Dr. John Read, University Hospital medical director, also said there had been no instances of elderly citizens not being admitted.

"Contrary to what Dr. Ball says, we have no policy about turning away elderly people." "We admit anyone if the illness warrants it. All patients are admitted by their physician, with the only exception of being an emergency." Mr. Nye said the Royal Alexandra has not turned away anybody recommended by a doctor "and I've said that before. "We don't have to admit everyone we exercise medical judgment and there has to be a reason a good one.

"Sure we're short of beds, but medical judgment has to be made and anyone that needs attention is admitted." (Continued from Page 1) said a survey he conducted revealed eight patients had been turned away during the previous nine months "meaning it isn't all that big a situation." He said most of the eight patients were quite ill, "but could probably have been looked alter satisfactorily at home, if they had a satisfactory home. "The problem is most of these people don't have proper homes," he said, referring to patients visited on a regular basis in the Boyle Street area by city nurses. Dr. Ball said one of the major problems in Edmonton is that some hospitals carry a large number of chronically ill patients who should really be in an auxiliary hospital or a nursing home. "This is the type of patient involved, and hospitals are reluctant to accept this kind of patient.

"These people should be in nursing homes or at home." Russell Nye, executive with a healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates (rrowthof new tissue.

McGuggan said when asked wtehher he had heard any noise. And besides, 82nd is a very busy street. Mrs. McGuggan said Mr. Fermaniuk used to go to their house and talk about anything, including how he had risen from nothing to own a large lumber store.

"I don't think he had any real close friends in the neighborhood." His children used to come just about every day and look after the yard," Mrs. McGuggan said. She guessed he was fairly well off, but being an astute businessman, he probably kept most of his money in the bank. In 1929 he had founded Norwood Lumber at 86th Street and 112th Avenue, selling it in 1969 when he retired from the business. Prior to the lumber business, he had been a window glazier in Mrs.

and Mrs. Allan Guest of 10951 8nd Mr. Fer-maniuk's other next-door neighbors, also said they never heard a sound Saturday. They knew Mr. Fermaniuk for 15 years and also described him as somewhat of a loner.

"We hated the thought of his being by himself so we used to watch over there," Mrs. Guest said. "I wished everybody was like him he minded his own business." Across the busy street are two thre(storey apartments. It would have been almost impossible to see anyone in Mr. Fermaniuk's back yard because of the shrubbery and trees and the darkness.

Police say they have no leads, although dusting powder for finger prints can be found all over the Fermaniuk back door and screen door. As a family man, Mr. Fermaniuk was very good, son William of 11007 111th said in describing his father. "He had very little recreation he spent all of his time with his family and his business." Mr. Fermaniuk before coming to Edmonton in 1923, used to ride a bicycle the 40 miles between Waugh and Edmonton to work and find living accommodation for his family.

"He was a wealthy man not in terms of money but rather in property," William said. "He very seldom carried large sums of money. When he cashed his $30 pensioners' cheque, he used to give me $70 and keep $10 for himself. When he needed more, I would take another $10 over to him. He never kept any quantity of money in his house," William said.

A son-inlaw, Joe Falvo of 11314 lllth said Mr. Fermaniuk was a very proud and loving man. concerned only with his family. The children made sure he had a visitor almost every day, and the children assisted with the household chores and yard work. Mr.

Fermaniuk was born in the Ukraine and emigrated to Canada in 1909. He attended school at Holden, southeast of Edmonton, for a short time, then moved to Waugh, nrrth of Edmonton, to help his father homestead. In 1919 he married and he and his wife raised seven children in a home he built for himself at Waugh. His wife Pearl died in 1954. He is survived by three sons and four daughters, all of Edmonton.

Wednesday at Park Chapel. (Continued from Page 1) protest after a week of complications caused by Fischer was on Moscow's orders. Mas Euwc. the Dutch president of the International Chess Federation, hoped tiie match could be saved. The new starting date for the 24-game series was Thursday.

It was to have begun on Sunday. Spassky lodged a formal protest objecting that Fischer, the American challenger, "has violated the rules of the match" by failing to appear in Iceland for its scheduled start on Sunday. The world champion told Mr. Euwe that his decision to allow a postponement in Fischer's favor to today was unacceptable. Fischer arrived Monday night.

Then Spassky and his aides, who were expected to draw lots for tonight's match, staged a glum-faced walkout. Spassky was asked whether there was a chance for a game today. He said: "It is not known." Speaking to reporters after the Russian walkout, Euwe was much more forthright. Asked whether he considered the Russian move threatened to wreck the whole match, he replied "Certainly." Euwe said the Russians gave no indication what action, if any, would satisfy them. "If they had it would be simpler," he said.

"We don't know what they want. Perhaps they want an apology." Sent to find out were Fischer's second, Rev. William Lombardy, and his lawyer, Paul Marshal. They went to Spassky's hotel to get clarification from the Russian champion. Because of the protest and the walkout there was no drawing of lots to decide which player would play the white piece and have the first move of the match.

A Tass dispatch said Spassky had refused to play Fischer until the American "is punished by the International Chess Federation (FIDE)." "Spassky is of the opinion that Fischer insulted him personally and the Chess Federation of the U.S.S.R. by failing to appear at the ceremony opening the match on July 1," the official Soviet news agency said. "Fischer jeopardized his moral right to play in the match. "Spassky will return to the question of the possibility of holding the match after FIDE sanctions are applied to Fischer," the dispatch said. It was filed to Moscow from Reykjavik and distributed in the agency's international service.

The 29-year-old American challenger flew from New York after accepting London banker James D. 1 a 's offer to match the $125,000 purse put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation. Now the winner of the 24-game match will get $156,250 and the loser $93,750. Each will also get 30 per cent of the $250,000 paid for the TV and movie rights to the match $75,000 each. The match, which could last two months, had been scheduled to start Sunday afternoon, but Fischer stayed in New York, demanding a 30-per-cent cut of the gate receipts The International Chess Federation postponed the first game 48 hours and told Fischer he had to be in Reykjavik by noon today or forfeit the match.

He arrived about five hours before the deadline. A stewardess on the plane said Fischer appeared calm during the flight of four hours and 40 minutes from New York but slept for only a few minutes at a time. Another passenger on the flight, Benjamin Rauschkolb of Long Beach, N.Y., angrily reported that his wife was told at the last minute she couldn't board the plane and he learned later she was bumped to make room for Fischer. "He's causing an awful lot of trouble, isn't he?" said Rauschkolb. The Icelandic Federation, after negotiating since last week with Fischer's lawyer, Andrew Davis, rejected the demand for a cut of the gate receipts.

But almost simultaneously Slater came forward with his offer to put up $125,000, saying: "Fischer has said that money is the problem. Well, here it is." "I nKe chess and have played it for years," said Slater. "Many want to see this match and everything has been arranged. If Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed." Lawyer Paul Marshall, said Fischer's holdout had been a matter of principle: "He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen Korea (Continued from Page 1) Then last August a South Korean Red Cross proposal to meet with its northern counterpart to discuss reuniting lost families in both countries won cautious acceptance and talks began at the old Korean war truce talk site of Pan-munjom. After 10 months of meetings, an agenda was finally agreed upon June 15 to permit major talks this August about locating some 10 million Koreans who have been separated from their families North or South of the 3Pfh Parallel.

The aim would eventually be to allow visits, permit mail, and even reunite them at their request. The success of these tough and protracted discussions was held to be an important omen for future talks about economic problems which in turn might lead to political negotiations and the question of future reunification. But clearly the leaders of both countries, the all-powerful Communist leader, President Kim, and the equally powerful military democrat, President Park, who has just celebrated the first year of his third four-year term in office, felt that events in Asia were movine too rapidly for indefinite delay. Thus the secret talks about which even correspondents and diplomats who had been in Seoul and Pyongyang as recently as the past two weeks had been given no direct hint. Although no one expects that the difficult negotiations which will have to accompany this declaration of principles will be successful or short, these experts here do feel the time is ripe for some easing of relations.

Probably, according to the South Korean officials here, aside from further Red Cross talks, the first negotiations will be about the establishing of a "hot line" between the two isolated capitals and the drafting of an agreement to end armed provocations between the two countries, which have been endemic for most of the past 20 years. The question of reunification, however, is going to be a very long and tortuous negotiation, since it involves two halves of Korea which have been indoctrinated in dy-ametrically opposite ideologies and customs for the past 27 years. Economic co-operation and scientific and cultural exchanges might be easier to work out than political co-operation. President Kim, for instance, has talked about a sort of confederation with a supreme national committee which would allow both Communist and Capitalist systems to co-exist. Since South Korea is both economically and militarily strong, as compared to South Vietnam in its relations with North Vietnam, some modus vivendi might eventually be worked out, without fear of the North overrunning the South.

And certainly, neither China nor the Soviet Union are eager to see their proteges in Pyoncvane use military force In this equation, first because it would encourage the U.S. militarv forces to remain in South Vietnam, and secondly because it would encourage those in Japan who urge the rearming of this country. As for Japan, the new leader of the Liberal-Democratic party and new prime minister, v.ho is beint? electd Wednesday, must face the problem of altering Japanese policy towards South Kora. This presumably would mean abandoning the Nison-Snto acrfement that the security of South Korea involved the security of Japan. But the Japanese, as much as any nation in this area, can understand the compelling Korean neople's drive for unity.

For this proud and independent people had been united and independent from the 7th century until 1910, when Japan's military regime cinouered it and snbiieated Korea until 1945. Then the victorious Americans and Russians took over and began the division of Korean that has lasted, with such bloodshed, until now. Most political figures and officials here today, however, were applauding this latest cf-for towards peaceful detente in the Korean peninsula. Save now on famous Roval Albert fine bone china.
