Brown Motors, Gorrie. rai, r i' Ft t By Louisa Rush 1 was very amused the other day by an article in the Montreal Gazette featuring doggy sweaters and how they and their owners bun- dled up against the ex- tremely cold weather while out walking. Apparently there is a lady who makes made -to -mea- sure sweaters for 'dogs and quite natty some of them looked! While a couple ac- companying the dogs were in matching his and ber swea- ters which I instantly recog- nized as one of my designs, the Antique Autos which I drafted while on the staff of Mary Maxim. While I can't fault the wearers, these two particu- lar sweaters had not been finished off at all well, one could easily see this from the black and white photo. It is always very import- ant with a design and a front zipper, that sections of the design match evenly. For in- stance, this particular design has the black and white checkered flag on the pockets, and red "cats -eyes" form a pattern around, so that these should match up evenly when the zipper is in place and not an up and down effect. The same applies to the yoke which I made in gray to represent an island in a roadway, again the "cats - eyes" around. These should match up evenly at the centre top of the zipper and not be off. The overall fin,. ished effect can be spoiled and lose its professional look. This sort of tip is im- portant if you plan on enter- ing your knitting or crochet for competition. 0-0-0 For those of you that are interested I do have a pat- tern for a doggy coat, the in- structions are on Leaflet No. 6736, the length along centre back from neck is approx. 171,2 inches and the width around body 14 inches, though this will stretch as it 1980 Chevelle Malibu Classic, 2 door hardtop, V8, automatic, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, silver-grey, radio, whitewalls.

In order to make it larger, you can use a larger needle and a heavier yarn, up to a knitting worsted weight. 1 don't advise any heavier as it gets too bulky and the dog is uncomfort- able. I myself have a dachshund and as you know they are an awkward shape to fit for a coat. I find that by making the crochet granny -squares, I can acquire the extra length needed and also get a snug fit around the chest. If you wish a rolled collar, this can always be knittedon afterwards with four needles. I've suggested this way of making a doggy coat to many of my friends and it's worked rather well! 0-0-0 The simplicity of this week's design of square lends itself to the above idea, and as an afghan in a simple plain ccilor nothing could be more useful and blend in with traditional furniture. It's such an easy square of crochet that even a beginner could attempt this one! To order Leaflet No. 83105 send 75 cents plus a stamped self addressed return envel- ope.

Included in the convention program was the fifth annual Canada Packers Championship Quilt Com- petition which brought final- ists from 14 Ontario districts. These finalists quilts were selected from approximately 235 winners at local agricul- tural society fairs across the province where 6-7,000 quilts had been entered. Miss Weber is seen receiv- ing a prize cheque for $700 from Murry Stewart, public relations manager for Can- ada Packers Inc. The com- pany also provides prize money for first, second and third place entries at all dis- trict competitions and to the Local agricultural society where the championship quilt started on its way. A cheque for $100 from Canada Packers will go to the Neu- stadt Agricultural Society to be used at the discretion of the local ladies' committee as prize money in the quilt - ing section of the ladies' divi- sion. ) The championship quilt, entitled "Leaf of Mexico Rose", is an original design. The quilt is made of a soft beige polyester cotton high- lighted by eight appliqued flowers. The petals are in an alternating brown -beige print, surrounded by an appliqued scalloped design consisting ofthe same print as used in the flowers. The border is finished with a picketted edging. THE SUPER BEAUTIES Shannon Tweed defines. "sexy' By COLETTE BOUCHEZ No matter how liberated we women are from 9 to 5, sometimes all we want is to look plain, old-fashioned sexy! But what :,is looking sexy really all about? According to actress SHANNON TWEED, who portrays the seductive Diana Hunter, confidante and part-time lover of Richard Channing on that blood boiler, "Falcon Crest," "Sex appeal has more to do with attitude than anything else." And Shannon should know. In addition to her acting credits, she also just happens to be the PLAY- BOY PLAYMATE OF THE YEAR! "It almost doesn't mat- ter what you wear," says this sharp and sassy blonde, "as long as you feel sexy, as long as you think of yourself as sexy. "For me," she confesses, "I oftentimes feel my best in blue jeans, a silk shirt, highlheels and a fur jacket. My body is covered and re- covered but still the sex appeal comes through." Shannon suggests, how- ever, that if you are look- ing to add a little sex ap- peal to your wardrobe you should experiment with a lot of different kinds of out- fits until you find the one that makes you feel really special. "The key is try on every- thing whether or not it appeals to you on the hanger," she says. "Some- times a dress will look just awful on the rack but once you put it on, something magical happens. "Also, don't just focus on clothes that are low cut or very tight. For some women this works; for oth- ers, it doesn't and you have to find your own style." Shannon also advises that you concentrate more on fabric than design when choosing a special outfit because it is oftentimes what a dress is made of that gives it a sensual ap- peal. She suggests looking for outfits in silk, satin or velvet, fabrics that have body but move with you. According to this viva- cious and very intelligent lady, hair is also an im- portant part of your image. She believes it should be flowing and soft, even if it's short. One of the ways to ensure this is to make cer- tain your hair is properly conditioned. For Shannon. that means using mayon- naise! "First you give your hair one wash," says this for- mer model, originally from Canada, "and towel dry. Then you take ordinary mayonnaise and work it , through your 'hair the way you would any conditioning treatment. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes .(less if your 'hair is not too dry) and then shampoo again. "It works better than anything I've ever tried; it leaves your hair silky and shiny, plus it's really: eco- nomical." This regimen should be done twice weekly on hair that is color treated, permed or very dry; once a week for that is blown dry daily and -or frequently set with electric rollers; and once every two weeks for hair that is relatively nor- mal, but needs extra bounce and shine. "Regardless of what image you want to por- tray," concludes Shannon, "f eling good about your- sel rson is where it all begin . Clothes, hair and make p can make im- ,portani ontributions, but 'if ou have confidence and 'be ve in yourself then ev- er hing else just falls into plac nd you will be at- tractive and 'you will be sexyr' SHANNON TWEED '... Sex appeal has more to do with attitude than anything else.' SUPER BEAUTY HINT The latest in Hollywood nail care is called "The French Manicure" and it gies you a look that is shiny and sexy. plus making your nails look longer! To achieve The French Manicure, first remove old polish completely. Next, coat entire nail with a clear underbase and let dry. Follow by painting just the topside tips of your nails (from the fleshy part up) with an opaque white polish. (Try Germaine Mont'eil's "Iced Cham- pagne.") When tips are dry, coat the entire nail with a sheer, flesh -toned beige polish. It is essential that this polish be "sheer" (as opposed to "creme" or "frost") and used very lightly so that your natural nail still shows through. Finish with a clear sealer for a look that will be chicer than chic for spring '83. A Case of Racism An East Indian family liv- ing in British Columbia be- come victims of racial abuse in Reasonable Force, a For The Record dramatic pro- duction which will be tele- cast on Sunday, March 20, at 9 p.m. Inspired by an actual incident, Reasonable Force shows how members of a minority group are harassed and threatened simply be- cause they're different. This a story that could take place anywhere in Canada. "I wanted to do a show about racism because I think there is a lot of it in Canada at this time," says Sam Levene, executive producer of Reasonable Force. The most recent minority groups to be victimized have been East Indians and Pakistanis. There have been well-docu- mented incidents of violence and intimidation, and threats against members of the community. If Reason- able Force can create an awareness and get people talking about the ugliness and inhumanity of racism, perhaps it can help to foster a greater understanding." Reasonable Force is about Ranjeet Singh and her family who fight against ra- cist hatred. They live in a farming area and are struggling to start a poultry business. Ranjeet's husband must return to India for a while and she is left with her children, her father, and a great deal of work. After taking her husband to the airport, Ranjeet is on her way home when two men begin to torment her from their car: it is the beginning of a series of attacks against th'e Singh family which become increasingly vicious. Ranjeet is a peace -loving woman who is striving to assert her independence. It is difficult for her to accept the fact that strangers are set upon inflicting torment simply because of her race. It is only after the efforts to destroy the farm become in- tense that Ranjeet rehlizes the extreme danger. "Why do you want to kill us?" she asks, but there is no reply. The men who are out to drive the Singh family away are motivated by frustration, re- sentment. and ignorance. Reasonable Force pre- sents a picture -of racism that does exist in some elements of Canadian society. By ALAN L. GAl01SBERG HOLLYWOOD — Of all the "Dallas" cast mem- bers, only two are really from the state of Texas - LARRY HAGMAN and SUSAN HOWARD. And Susan holds the distinction of having retained both her roots in the state and her Texas twang. The show's Donna Culver is from Marshall — popu- lation 24,000 — and has land and a house near the hometown, which she visits frequently along with hus- band CALVIN CHRANE. "Marshall was a great place to grow up," Susan said. "It's my home. My roots are there. That's why we have a place and some land there. "We don't get to go back often, but that's OK. If I went back too often maybe I wouldn't remember what it was, I'd notice whatever change had taken place." The native Texan loves her series, but admits that "Dallas" doesn't really capture the spirit of Texas. "It's a neat little show," she insisted, "but I don't think the spirit of the state comes across on the screen. I think the movie 'Giant' was closer to what Texas really is." Filming on this season's episodes ends March 9, at which time Susan will travel to The Netherlands to promote the series there. She'd also like to be part of the proposed "Dal- las" feature, but has yet to be informed if her charac- ter is part of that script. "No one knows if any- body is in 'the 'Dallas' movie," she admitted. "No one has even seen a com- pleted script. But then, the actors are always the last to know." She's also in discussions with CBS about doing a TV movie, and has those scripts to mull over. Off screen, Susan admits that Calvin and she "are pretty private people. Hol- lywood as a wild town is pretty much a figment of people's minds." Her father worked for the railroad, and Susan col- lects railroad antiques, "things from the old days when there were personal cars."
