Low cost, simple and dignified funeral services are only part of what we believe in: We also feel that cosmetics used to make a body look "life-like" makes an over-dramatization of death. We encourage a closed coffin, a private burial or cremation with a memorial service afterwards for family and friends. We support donations under the Human Tissue Gift Act 1974; to the eye bank and to the College of Medicine. If you share our sentiments clip and mail the coupon below.

Name Address: mSk CRAWFORD McAUSLAND Above all, perhaps, it seems that in design and architecture, Saskatoon is honest. Its a relatively new prairie city and looks it.

It doesnt try to imitate a European city, nor does it think it needs 50-storey buildings to prove its status. Having heard of John Diefertbaker for a number of years and knowing a good deal about the former prime minister through reading, Roth was able to see Dief. in person during the Saskatoon visit. He noticed a lot of people near the Saskatoon News Agency and wandered over to see what was attracting the crowd. There sat the former prime minister autographing his latest book, Roth said, and I was able to get within a few feet of him and have a good look at a man I have admired and respected for a long while.

I would have to say this was one of the highlights of my visit to Saskatoon. For me it was fortunate timing. I was strpek by the fact thatl talked to noone whoexpressed a wish to be living elsewhere than in Saskatoon or Saskatchewan. I spoke to a few who had returned from places like Montreal, Vancouver and the states. One young woman said: It took me 20 years of growing up here and eight years of being away to learn why I like the place.

What she had learned to appreciate were the small scale beauty of flowers and the huge and changeable sky. Of course my sample of talking to local people was far from scientific and maybe people who dont like Saskatoon or Saskatchewan, were not around during my visit. I found lots to do, even fora casual visitor, at the university. It struck pie the of was the liveliest campus Ive seen in Canada, with lectures, movies, concerts, art gallery and sports events. As a matter of fact, the whole city seemed to have a good deal going for it.

I saw Saskatoon and other parts of the province in beautiful weather nqt winter freeze or summer heat so Im certainly not an expert. Still I think Id have to disagree with a cousin of mine who was born in Saskatchewan and now lives in Van Mark Roth, a free-lance writer from the state of New York, was born in New York City and resides in Canandaigua, north and west of his birthplace, fairly close to the shores of Lake Ontario. He was in Saskatoon recently on the last leg of a writing tour Western Canada. Apparently, the West intrigued him for a long while, perhaps steming from the time spent as a school teacher. Roth travelled across the West by train, paying special attention to main centres served by the Canadian National system.

His trip was semi-sponsored by the CN with assistance from tourism branches in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. During the journey, he did hiking and camping, especially in the mountain and foothill areas. He carried all the necessary camping and living equipment in a pack on his back. He roughed it outdoors at times and at other times enjoyed the comforts of a good hotel or motel. Always, he said, his note book was close at hand.

We spent considerable time with Roth during his visit to Saskatoon. It was the first time he had been in Saskatoon or Saskatchewan or anywhere in Western Canada. He has done stories on Eastern Canada, especially the Maritimes. While here he didnt get out to the countryside, perhaps feeling he was far enough out when he arrived at the CN station at Chappell Junction. Anyway, after spending some time at the Board of Trade office with president Ed Sebestyen and commissioner Bert Sal-loum and being directed to various places in Saskatoon, it was interesting to hear his observation.

My first impression, after getting to the core of the city, was one of surprise, he said. I couldnt help but notice the cleanliness and the wide, straight streets. Not picturesque perhaps, but a logical development form the terrain. I enjoyed the fine riverside parks and the general development of the river banks within the city limits. Places like the Western Development Museum, the Mendel Art Gallery, theUniversity of Saskatchewan, GordieHowe Park and its various facilities, the Exhibition and Nutana curling rinks, the Forestry Farm, the downtown shopping mall and numerous other sites were of interest to me a tourist.

A dozen staff members of Xerox of Canada Ltd. are at John Dolan School today erecting a creative playground. The school for the handicapped draws pupils from all over Saskatoon, so there is no community group which would noimally be involved in a project of this type. The project was arranged by Xerox salesman Archie Baton, who is also chairman of the creative playground committee of the public board of education. He said the playground will include, in addition to traditional climbing poles, slides and tire swings, special equipment designed for hand- icapped children.

The playground is being financed by a from the Elks Lodge and Royal Purple, $1,200 from the Saskatoon Women Teachers, $1,000 from the Saskatoon Association for the Mentally Retarded and $2,500 from Xerox.

Pregnancy case ruling sought VANCOUVER (CP) The Canadian Airlines Flight Attendants Association says it will ask the Supreme Court of Canada for a ruling in the case of two stewardesses who were grounded because they were pregnant. However, rather than appeal the lower court decisions acquitting Pacific Western Airiines, the union wants the court to give an interpretation of the Canada Labor Code that would clear up several ques-tionsabout the options open to pregnant stewardesses. In a letter to federal Labor Minister John Munro, which requests the Supreme Court interpretation, union lawyer John Laxton noted that the jobs of pregnant women are protected both by the labor code and by the union's collective agreement. He also said the benefits under the two differ and some pregnant stewardesses may prefer the benefits of the code and others those of the ag-reanent. Laxton says the union wants the court to deal with the question of whether its female members may choose between the two.

The case, brought against PWA by the federal labor department, was heard in Surrey, B.C., provincial court two years ago and then appealed, first to the county court, then to the Court of Appeal, both of which con-fiimed PWAs acquittal. Laxton said that during the appeals the question of whether the code or the collective agreemenf applied came up. He said this puts the union in a difficult position because an arbitration board rather than a court is the proper forum for interpretation of a collective agreement. It is fairly safe to say that this prosecution was begun, not with the aim of penalizing the company, but as a means of settling the rights of women who prefer the maternity leave benefits provided by the Labor Code, he said.
