the HRP members unmoved., "I
find the Mayor's proposal quite un-
acceptable," concluded DeGrieck.
The proposal which passed last
night was the result of several'
weeks of intense lobbying by mem-
bers of the HRP, the Women's;

munity to have the city commit it-
self to a program to reduce the in-
cidence and treatment of rape.
On March 18 over 300 constitu-
ents jammed the Council cham-
bers to support an HRP anti-rape
proposal on the agenda, and the
council was impressed enough to
promise future action on the mat-
ter. A special session of Council
was set up with a public hearing
so citizens could express their
feelings on the subject.

You'd be hard put to think up a question that can't be
answered somewhere in this complete almanac. An easy-
to-use index permits you or any member of your family to
look up the answers to questions about everything on
earth-and in the universe as well. Whether you want to
know about astronauts, baseball players, presidents,
prime ministers, members of Congress or thousands of
other personalities, the information is in this valuable
book. And there are new sections on United States and
Canadian maps, flags in color and an up-to-date chronol-
ogy of Watergate and all the events that stemmed from
it.
