I “In my first 100 days of office,
what I hope to accomplish is to set
firm directions toward political nor-
Inalization and economic recovery,
while the government strives to
maintain the delivery of essential
public services,” Aquino told the
commencement of St. Scholastica’s
for E. IfColIege.

JERUSALEM — Palestinian
Khristians led pilgrims from around
the world down the slopes of the bib
lical Mount of Olives to the Old City
of Jerusalem in a traditional Palm
Sunday procession.
f Little girls in pink dresses and Boy
Scouts carrying flags sang Hosanna,
or “please redeem us” in Arabic, and
waved small olive and palm branches
during the two-hour march.
I Jerrold McRae, a former pro foot-
baU pVayer from Philadelphia,
watched the procession and said,
“This is overwhelming. It makes the
Bible come alive for me. It gives me
more of a sense of appreciation for
what Christ did for me.”
McRae, 30, a wide receiver with
the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas
City Chiefs until 1980, said he
planned to ride along the path on a
donkey Monday morning, as Jesus
did some 2,000 years ago.
Palm Sunday opens a week of Eas
ter celebrations in this holy city
where Jesus preached and was cruci
fied. The procession is symbolic of
Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem on a
white donkey before his death on
Good Friday.
Most of the tens of thousands of
pilgrims who come to Jerusalem
each Palm Sunday are from Western
Europe, with others from the United
States and Canada. Prayers were
heard in Arabic, English, Chinese,
Spanish, French and German.
Israeli officials said they expect
between 50,000 to 60,000 pilgrims

HOW TO AVOID THE DANGERS
OF COUNTERFEIT AUTO PARTS
INFERIOR PARTS COULD THREATEN YOUR SAFETY

Today, a counterfeiter
no longer has to print phony
twenty-dollar bills. Selling
imitation automotive replace
ment parts—packaged to
resemble products from legit
imate manufacturers—is big
business.
For people who buy
and use counterfeit auto
parts, though, the conse
quences can be costly. For
example, body panels may
require expensive labor to
bring their finish quality up
to the rest of the car. Bogus
oil filters have failed after
200 miles, causing unpro
tected engines to seize up,
requiring their complete
replacement.
Inferior transmission
fluid has solidified at 0°
Fahrenheit, ruining trans
missions. And counterfeit
antifreeze has eaten right
through aluminum parts.
The failure can be
safety-related. A fatal 1985
bus accident in Britain was
attributed to the installation
of counterfeit brake parts. Ill-
fitting counterfeit gas caps
can fall off, increasing the
risk of a fire in a roll-over
accident.
Here’s how to make
sure you receive parts
that are made to work
best in your GM car. \bur
most reliable source is your
GM dealer. He can supply
any part for your GM car or
truck. Buying popular brand
parts from reputable stores
or garages is another way
to improve your chances of
getting the right part. But
wherever you buy, be sus
picious of discounts that
seem too good to be true.
Some tip-offs that a
part might be counterfeit:
Flimsy packaging.
Lack of name-brand
identification such as
AC-Delco.
“Look-alike” graphics or
a change in the spelling of a
recognized trade name. In
this way counterfeiters can
avoid prosecution under the
1984 Trademark Counter
feiting Law. So examine the
package carefully.
If a replacement part
doesn’t fit easily, you should
probably return it. A repu
table distributor will almost
certainly give you a refund
or credit.
General Motors is tak
ing strong measures in the
U.S. and overseas to put a
stop to parts counter
feiting. GM is trying to stop
the problem at its source.
So far we’ve helped U.S.
marshals confiscate parts in
raids on 29 counterfeiting
operations. Another eight
operations have been un
covered and prosecuted in
foreign countries.
GM is also developing
a hologram identification
device, much like those be
coming popular on credit
cards, to improve security
in our parts distribution.
After all, General
Motors has a tremendous
investment in GM parts that
work together to give our
customers safe, reliable cars
and trucks. We want our cus
tomers to be confident they
can maintain their GM vehi
cles at the same level of
high quality we build them.
This advertisement is part of
our continuing effort to give
customers useful information
about their cars and trucks
and the company that builds
them.

dent Marcos’ 93-year-old mother,
who has been hospitalized for over
eight years with health problems.
A local newspaper columnist re
cently wrote that Josefa Edralin
Marcos, a widow, did not have the
money to pay her bills at the Phil
ippine Heart Center in suburban
Manila.
Speaking at the commencement,
Aquino acknowleged that Filipinos’
patience “has run extremely thin,”
adding, “There is still too much hun
ger, there is still too much misery.
Far too many of our people live in
dire poverty. Far too few of our peo
ple have adequate work.”
She cautioned, “We must never al
low people power to be misused for
the selfish interest of a few, or,
worse, as a tool for sheer, unwar
ranted harassment, intimidation, or
personal vendettas.”

during Easter, the same as last year.
The number of tourists who visited
Jerusalem and Bethlehem at
Christmas was down 20 percent
from 1984.
Many tourists who would have
come here in December were fright
ened away from the Middle East by
an upsurge in terrorist attacks, in
cluding the hijacking of the Achille
Lauro cruise ship off Egypt. But the
violence has decreased, and for at
least some of the pilgrims, visiting
the Holy Land was a dream come
true.
Bessie Knott, 65, of Bury, En
gland, said, “This is a journey of a
lifetime. We do this procession in my
hometown. But here we are seeing
where it all happened.- It’s really
something.”
