BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- A young deer, 1
apparently frightened by traffic, ignored the "No
Pets" sign and crashed through the front window
of a pizza parlor.
The animal slammed its nose through the window
of Captain's Pizza on Main Street one recent night
and cut itself on broken glass, but the injuries were
minor and the deer was later released into the
woods in Easton, said Beardsley Zoo Director
Gregg Dancho.
Police were summoned by an alarm that went off
after the deer broke the window early in the morning.
They said the deer tried in vain to escape from the
pizza parlor, which had closed for the night. Dancho
arrived with a tranquilizer gun and net to help '
release the young buck.
He said the animal may have been fleeing from a
car and "the store just happened to be in the way."
Dancho said calls about wild animals, including
deer and foxes, popping up around the city have

Rolls: The smell of success
DETROIT (AP) - Rolls Royce Motor Cars Inc.
sees Architectural Digest readers as wanting one of
its luxury cars so badly they can smell it.
An advertisement in the upscale magazine's July
issue contains a strip scented with the aroma of
leather - representing the smell of the handmade
leather upholstery.
"Rolls-Royce appeals to one more of the five
senses than most car companies ? the sense of
smell," said Robert Wharen, Rolls Royce
marketing vice president.
Choosing the proper strip wasn't easy.
"It was rather like a wine tasting," Wharen said.
"After experiencing each sample, we had to breathe
fresh air to clear our sense of smell."

Council propose
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- An influential
advisory council recently endorsed and
sent to President P.W. Botha a report proposing
rehabilitation centers for "politically motivated
juvenile delinquents."
The report also suggests that non-whites*, as well
as whites, be subjected to mandatory national service,
either in the armed forces or a non-military
alternative.
Young white males are subject to military conscription
now, while blacks, Asians and people of
mixed race serve in the military only on a volunteer
basis.
The report on youth policy was drafted by a committee
of the President's Council and approved
June 19 by the full council, which is controlled by
Botha's National Party.
Many recommendations in previous council
reports have become law.

Only one amendment to the report was approved
by the council -- a motion by a mixed-race member
saying that mandatory conscription should not be
extended to all races until non-whites have full
political rights. The amendment did not define
"full political rights." ,
Under the government's system of apartheid, the
nation's 24 million blacks have no voice in national
affairs, while the 5 million whites control the
economy and maintain separate districts, health services
and schools.
Other sections of the report call for sex education,
in schools and tighter censorship of books and
entertainment to which young people are exposed.
Anti-apartheid groups have assailed the report,
which was made public last Wednesday. One group,
the Transvaal Indian Congress, termed the report
"pure racist garbage designed to force conscription
onto the black youth of this country."
