Before Florada, all conservatory lean-tos were very much the same—their harsh, angular lines and natural aluminum finish did not enhance the beauty of any house or garden. The Florada range of conservatory lean-tos and greenhouses, with their sleek curved frames and attractive bronzed aluminum finish, blend beautifully with plants, trees and brickwork, adding the finishing touch to any garden. Like the greenhouses, the Florada conservatory lean-tos have their heritage in the days of Queen Victoria—the “Qolden Age", when glasshouse gardening in the traditional style became fashionable. This classically elegant shape captures more light and heat (thus saving on fuel costs) even from the weakest winter sun, and is airtight and draught-free. These traditionally elegant and superior Florada conservatory lean-tos and greenhouses are built from the most modern materials (so now they’re easier to erect than even conventional, modern houses).

was 139 to 133, and pandemonium broke out when the tally was announced. Three Conservatives and one Liberal were absent and the five-mem-ber Social Credit group abstained. At a news conference following the vote, the 40-year-old Clark harshly criticized the Liberals and New Democrats for bringing “the business of Parliament to a complete halt” for what he described as purely partisan reasons. He said the vote interrupted all plans of his administration to revamp the economy and tackle the energy crisis, but that it was the choice of the opposition and “I, of course, accept it.” However, Clark sniped that the Conservative style was better than the “gunslinger federalism” of the Liberals under Trudeau, Canada’s flamboyant prime minister for 11 years who announced Nov. 21 that he planned to step down as party leader. Going into an election campaign with a lame-duck or interim leader is one thing the Liberals would like to avoid.

Greathouse, UAW vice president, said before leaving Peoria that there continued to be progress in the talks with Caterpillar. He said a few issues remained to be resolved for an agreement that would end the longest strike ever against the Peoria-based heavy-machinery maker. “There’s nothing more I can do here,” Greathouse said. “I have hopes of getting (the International Harvester strike) settled before the holidays.” A key stumbling block in the way of a Harvester settlement is an effort by the firm to include some provision for mandatory overtime in the new

Day 41: The Iran crisis Western ambassadors may soon meet with hostages
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) The American hostages at the U.S. Embassy will be allowed to receive Christmas cards, or at least some of them, a spokeswoman for the captors said today. Observers also predicted a team of Western ambassadors will be allowed to visit the 50 hostages in the next day or two. “Yes, of course, Christmas cards are not important (from the security standpoint). “We’ll give them to the hostages,” said the spokeswoman, contacted by telephone. “We have received some Christmas cards already and given them to the hostages, but very few." She would give no specific numbers of cards delivered so far. But told that officials at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport and Chicago’s O’Hare airport reported a buildup of
Shah's condition worsens; doctors to fly to Texas
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Doctors tending the deposed Shah of Iran believe his condition has worsened, and the physicians who treated him in New York are expected to fly to San Antonio to see him, according to court papers filed Thursday. However, a source close to the shah at Lackland Air Force Base said late Thursday night the shah appeared to be “fine.” “He felt ill a couple of days last week, but that is over with. He is complaining about the bad weather but that is all,” the source said. The motion, filed in a state district court in Fort Worth, said, "The doctors at Lackland have come to believe tyat his condition may have worsened,” according to WFAA Radio reporter Bob West, who obtained a copy. The shah’s lawyers contended in the motion that the New
three-year pact with the UAW. Caterpillar and Deere & Co. do have some mandatory overtime provisions in their contract. The wage-and-benefit package is expected to resemble that already won in October by Deere, which calls for three percerjt pay raises each of the three yars of the contract and , cost-of-living adjustments to off set inflation. The average straight-time hourly wage for an Intemtional Harvester employee is $9.21; for a Caterpillar employee it is $9.00 Some 35,000 Harvester workers are on strike nationwide.

Bargainers for Caterpillar and the UAW met Thursday despite Greathouse’s departure, with both sides saying settlement still was possible this week. *.*-*. Caterpillar opened negotiations with a new proposal, its fourth complete contract package of the negotiations. After studying the offer much of the morning, Greathouse declared it “less than acceptable” and left for Chicago. Union sources said the proposal did not include a detailed economic package, including wages and benefits, and was less than the UAW wanted in the area of changing job classifications the union has found troublesome. Cliff Hathway, Caterpillar’s chief negotiator, declined comment. Some 40,000 UAW workers are on strike against Caterpillar operations in six states. The walkout began Oct. 1 with a wildcat strike in the Peoria area, moving it into its 74th day Thursday.

nearly 109,000 pieces of mail addressed to points in Iran, the spokeswoman paused. “Well, I think that would be too much,” she said. “We’ll just have to see.” Ambassadors from a dozen countries met Thursday with Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh to discuss the visits, only hours after Khomeini gave the go-ahead for independent observers to see the Americans, held captive since Nov. 4. The diplomats were from Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Greece, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The Khomeini regime also announced it was sending a full ambassador to represent Iran at the United Nations. A U.N. spokesman said the arrival of Ambassador Mansour
York doctors will arrive Friday morning at the base wnere the former ruler is recovering from surgery. The motion says the physicians will examine Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi to determine whether further surgery is necessary. The shah’s presence in the United States is the main reason for the U.S.-Iranian crisis, in which miliitant Iranian students are holding 50 American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. They demand that the shah be deported to Iran to stand trial for alleged crimes against Iran. The shah’s attorneys filed the motion in an attempt to quash a subpoena requiring the former monarch to give a depostion in connection with a $6 million lawsuit filed against Bell Helicopter International Inc. The suit was filed in 1976 by 69 former pilots who allege they were fired after they organized a union to enforce the

William Dorman, a university colleague, said in an interview Thursday that Farhan has been “deeply distressed” by the hostage-taking in Tehran and is “totally committed as a human being” to helping to resolve it. In Washington, White House spokesman Jody Powell questioned the Iranians’ motives. He said the observers must be internationally recognized and impartial, must be allowed to visit all the hostages and must see them frequently. Otherwise, Powell said, it would just be a “cynical” attempt to divert attention from the hostages plight.
