Now with the (6) of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more (7) of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, (8) a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject. One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. (9) many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to fat.

The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought (12) as lazy and (13) in energy, self-discipline and self-respect.

The massive search fur a missing Sannich woman today failed to turn up any trace of the 20-year-old University of Victoria student. Marguerite Tellesford disappeared last Sunday shortly after she started out for an early morning run. Police believe she was the victim of foul play. Her ear muffs and a pool of blood were found about a kilometer from her home. Barry Bell has more on the story.Hundreds of people turned up after police called for volunteers to comb the wooded parkland of Mount Douglas, north of Victoria, for clues in the suspected murder of Marguerite Tellesford. But four hours of painstaking probing left the searchers empty-handed. Sannich Emergency Program coordinator Lance Olmstead says the effort by the volunteers was remarkable. Absolutely outstanding. We ended up in the end with almost three hundred people in this search. In this area 90% of the ground has been covered at least once. But Mr. Olmstead says searchers found no clues or evidence in what the Sannich police are treating as a murder. The mysterious and violent disappearance of a popular student has aroused the concern of the community as expressed by those who turned up to search. Here’s Victoria writer Eric Wilson, "I feel like everyone else, just wanting to help, I guess it’s the first time I’ve lived somewhere where something like this has happened. I think everyone is very upset by it." Lauren Mallet went to junior high school and university with the missing woman. "Marguerite and I are very close friends and I just wanted to come out because I know that if ! didn’t … this is just going to make me feel better." Other volunteers were Vehna and Wilbur Partmiller. "My husband is 82 and I’m 77. We walk this area all the time, that’s why we were so interested and so worried about her."Although the intensive search of the area where Marguerite Tellesford was last seen has officially ended, the police investigation continues, and almost ten thousand dollars in rewards have been posted for information that would lead to an arrest. The police investigation into the Marguerite Tellesford case is continuing. However, the ground search for the woman has been called off.The twenty-year-old University of Victoria student disappeared Sunday while jogging in a heavily wooded park area in Sannich.Susan MacNamey has more on the story. "Every available person in the Sannich police department is working on this tragic case, but investigators are still baffled about the mysterious disappearance of Marguerite Tellesford. Yesterday more than four hundred volunteers turned up to take part in a massive ground search for the woman. Some of them were friends, neighbors, fellow students；others had never met Marguerite，they just wanted to help out. ”And while the search failed to turn up any new evidence，Inspector Jim Arnold says the public response has been overwhelming. "We’re getting all kinds of suggestions and tips from the public and，and，uh，uh，the number of volunteers that showed up is just，…you know，is evident of the support we are getting from the community and the type of information that’s coming forward. ”But so far none of those tips have led to any solid clues. What the police have found are the woman’s ear muffs and a pool of human blood on the jogging trail. But Inspector Arnold says they haven’t been able to match the blood type with that of the woman. "We have Canada Customs，and Immigration，attempting to determine from Port—of-Spain， Trinidad，where the young lady was born，her blood type，but there’s no records of her pre—immigration medical and her doctor’s charts and her dental charts locally and the family can’t tell us what her blood type is. " The reward money in this case has now climbed to over ten thousand dollars. The 20-year-old student disappeared while jogging in () park area.

Interviewer: Mrs. Partridge, I understand that you are very concerned about the housing situation in Britain.Mrs. Partridge: Indeed I am. The government itself admits that there are more than two million houses which ought to be pulled down at once. It also admits that there are another two million in such a shocking state that it would be a waste of money to repair them.Interviewer: What do you mean by "shocking state"Mrs. Partridge: I mean houses that are in such a bad condition that they are permanently damp, or houses where you’ll find as many as five families sharing one tap and one toilet.Mr. Pollard: But what about all the good things that have been and are being done What about the rebuilding of whole parts of cities like Sheffield and Birmingham and Coventry — not to mention the new townsMrs. Partridge: That’s all very fine and splendid, but it’s only one side of the picture. I’m simply saying that we’re not doing enough. We can feel proud of what is good, but surely we shouldn’t be proud that, for example, Glasgow is some times called the biggest slum in Western Europe.Interviewer: What you are saying, in effect, Mrs. Partridge, is that the housing in this country isn’t worthy of a welfare state.Mrs. Partridge: Exactly! According to government figures there are less than 20,000 homeless people, but thousands more are living in such terrible conditions that they ought to be classed as homeless. It isn’t that these people can’t afford a reasonable rent. There just aren’t enough houses.Interviewer: Whom do you blameMrs. Partridge: The government, for not providing enough money, and the council for not spending properly what there is.Mr. Pollard: Aren’t you being unfair to the local housing committees Many of them do wonderful work.Mrs. Partridge: I agree, but that doesn’t excuse councils that are inefficient and don’t take enough interest. Don’t you think it is shocking that in modern Britain there are still families who have nowhere to live Do you think it’s right that whole families should have to sleep in the ruins of empty buildings or under bridges or in railway station waiting-roomsMr. Pollard: But there are excellent hostels where they can go.Mrs. Partridge: In some towns, perhaps, Mr. Pollard, but things are very different in many of our midland and northern industrial cities, and in parts of London. Even where there are places, some of the state-run homes for the homeless are less comfortable than prisons. In any case, my point is that we shouldn’t need so many hostels for homeless families because there shouldn’t be any homeless families!Interviewer: Mrs. Partridge, I think many people would say that you are exaggerating and drawing attention to the worst housing conditions instead of looking at the situation as a whole. Would you agree that you belong to a "pressure group" which is trying to bring pressure on the government to do something about the housing problemMrs. Partridge: If that’s what belonging to a pressure group means, the answer is "yes"! But I’m not exaggerating. Housing is the most serious problem of our welfare state. If it weren’t, would we hear so much about that excellent charity Shelter, which does such wonderful work in finding homes for the homeless What is the main topic of the interview().
