A Heart' Ball is Canadians worry over bad U.S. influence 'Sweet r for hearts fund-raise- By NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC For AP Newsfeatures The border is no barrier to a good friendship. Yet, as with many friendships, there are some sharp edges. "I don't know what they do over there," grouses a New Brunswick fisherman about his American neighbors in Maine. "Their main industries seem to be food stamps and yard sales." Canada frets and braces against the weight of the United States with its seductive popular culture and sense of righteousness, writes Priit J. Vesilind in the current National Geographic. Traveling 3,800 miles along the U.S. Canada border, Vesilind found the two neighbors grappling with numerous issues, from trade and immigration to fishing rights and gambling. In 1988 the two nations signed ihiliml ' jijuiim Fmmm Utah County Heart Association g "Sweet hosted a formal Heart" ball and dinner at Seven fund-raisin- Peaks r the Free ftras :: Trade Agreement, which over the next decade will tear down remaining tariffs and duties on goods and services between them and may eventually integrate the economies. There's a lot at stake. Canada is the United States' biggest trading partner. Goods traded exceed $150 billion a year, more than between any other two' nations. Trade with Ontario alone exceeds the amount the United States does with Japan. "But Canadians are not sure about all of this," writes Vesilind. "They are worried that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has sold out the nation to the United States and multinational corporations, that Rambo and rap music are twisting young minds, that American handguns and cack cocaine will filter north and poison Canada's cities." The United States shrugs off these emotional issues with a that irks Canada even more. Genuinely fond of their neighbors to the north, Americans are puzzled that the sentiment is not always mutual. The United States and Canada share the longest undefended border in the world. While few American cities mark the line as a popular place to live, four out of five Canadians live within 100 miles of their southern boundary and may wind up farther south than their U.S. neighbors. More than 100 million official border crossings and thousands of informal ones occur each year. Traffic in illegal aliens and drugs has recently escalated.

Four out of five Canadians dwell within 100 miles of their southern boundary, and many live farther south than their U.S. neighbors.

It seems that one or both are always running low on cash, and they think nothing of asking to borrow money. When they get sick, I feel guilty if I don't stay home and take care of them. If "Johnny" gets a traffic ticket, I hear about it. Every little thing that happens to these grown men affects me. I'm tired of waking up at 3 a.m. and worrying myself sick if the boys aren't in yet. Am I wrong to feel that I am entitled to be free of this responsibility? When I discuss moving out, they tell me that with rentals the way they are, they would have to work two jobs just to pay the rent. They also tell me that their friends down the block are still living at home and their parents don't complain. Please, Ann, I need your advice. - A Burned-Ou- t Mother in N.Y.

When my bill arrived, I discovered that he had charged me an additional $50 for looking at my toes. I decided not to pay that bill but to discuss it with him the next time I went in for the collagen. After all, he did nothing more than look at my toes and write the prescription. When I complained, he said, "Sorry, the athlete's foot had nothing to do with the collagen. It was a separate matter." My friends were not shocked. They said, "All specialists do that." If this is true, greed has really taken over the entire world.

A hilarious courtroom reunion beg tween the fairy tale wench and her suitor occurred durn court session ing a Wednesday to determine the origin of the classic story. The "trial" featured theories that Walt Disney had created Cinderella to brainwash American women, and claims the Cinderella marketed by Disney had appeared earlier in France, Italy, and ninth century hard-workin- just-for-fu- China. But the height of the courtroom drama came when attorney Frank Winston jumped from his chair, d sling-bacwaving a clear, k. high-heele- "I think I have it! I think I have it!" Winston exclaimed, and dashto the witness stand where Cinderella was testifying, he slipped the shoe on her foot. "Oh! Someday my prince will come!" said Cinderella, alias Municipal Judge Diane Elan Wick, who wore a blond wig, patched dress, clogs and carried a basket ing with three stuffed mice. Municipal Judge George T. Choppers ruled that while the tale that has delighted children all over the world stems from the 17th century story by French lawyer and writer Charles Perrault, Walt Disney deserves credit as a folklorist for the American version. "Perrault took the oral tradition and he changed it, he adapted it to the times," Choppelas said at the 61st session of the Court of Historical Review and Appeals. "Disney took the written version and made it an animated film. ... He changed it around just like Perrault." Representing the United States and Walt Disney was San Francisco Supervisor Wendy Nelder, who termed Cinderella "the typical American story." rags-to-rich- Jo Anne Miller, vice president of the San Francisco Board of Educa- tion, testified that the 1950 Disney film was part of a sinister plot to get women out of shipyards and factories and back behind the stove and ironing board after World War II. "We were told that only when the prince comes will your life change. And of course, it doesn't," she said. Glass, or at least clear plastic, slippers also are American, argued Nelder, who reminisced with Miller about the shoes they wore as gown.

"It's so much a part of how Canadians see themselves. We're a land of rivers and lakes. Our history is built on it." Differences exist even at sea. A squabble over the Pacific border affects the catch of salmon migrating through international waters. For about 20 years each nation sporadically has seized the other's vessels. Whether they live near the border or not, most Americans remain oblivious to their northern neighbor's problems and apprehensions. On the American side of the border, during a stop at a lonely hamburger stand in Montana, Vesilind read a copious list of things a newspaper columnist in Calgary, Alberta, liked and disliked about the United States. Sadly, he concluded, most Americans don't know enough about Canada to list even 10 things about it, good or bad.
