"Honourable'' titles.

All ministers take on the "Honourable'' title but lose it when they lose their ministry.

Former Management and Technology Minister the Hon. Michael Winfield, former Minister of Delegated Affairs the Hon. Ann Cartwright DeCouto and former Speaker of the House of Assembly the Hon. David Wilkinson, now have the titles for life.

Sen. Winfield, who still serves on the Senate said: "It is a indication that you have served your country. It is for life and I just hope I live up to it.'' Mrs. Cartwright DeCouto resigned from the Cabinet earlier this year over the Independence issue.

Mr. Wilkinson was Speaker of the House from 1989 to 1993 and is a former Tourism Minister.

SENIORS CELEBRATE SR Increased support this year for Senior Citizens Week has resulted in a calendar of events which will cover most of May and June although Senior Citizens Week is officially celebrated from May 30 to June 5.

Events planned for early May include a variety of Teas, a Hat and Talent Show, luncheons and the annual Garden Party hosted by the Premier and Lady Swan at Camden.

Minister of Community and Cultural Affairs, the Hon. Wayne Furbert said he is pleased with the growing positive attitude toward seniors: "This was the initial aim of Senior Citizens Week, held nine years ago. The calendar of events demonstrates that more people and organisations are committed to working with and on behalf of older persons.'' The Ministries of Community and Culture and Health and Social Services and the Island Wide Senior Social Committee are sponsoring this year's event.

Opening ceremonies for Senior Citizen Week will be held at the City Hall on Monday, May 30 at 1.30 p.m.

FISH PROTECTED FHP Three areas around the Island will be out of bounds to fisherman for the next four minths to allow Bermuda's fish to reproduce.

A Protected Areas Order states that between May 1 and August 31 the taking of any fish in the protected areas would be prohibited.

Protected areas are near Gibb's Hill Lighthouse in Southampton, near St.

David's Lighthouse, and north of St. David's Lighthouse.

Senior Fisheries officer Dr. Brian Luckhurst said there would be a number of Bermuda's fish spawning within that period.

"Between May and August are the primary spawning periods for a lot of Bermuda's fish,'' he said. "There are a wide range of fish that are taken commercially and for recreation by fisherman.'' THIEVES THWARTED CRM Thieves were on the prowl this weekend but failed to make off with any money.

Police reported a Hamilton night club had an empty cash register stolen on Friday night after thieves forced entry into the closed establishment.

Dellwood Primary School and Woodmount Nursery School were also hit early yesterday morning but nothing was stolen.

And a house on Laffan Street in Pembroke was broken into yesterday morning but when the male occupant of the house woke up and called the Police the thief ran off empty handed.

Police have not ruled out the possibility that the break-ins are connected.

BICYCLES BASH AC Parents are being warned to make sure their children's pedal bikes carry proper safety equipment after two youngsters pedalled into the path of an auxiliary cycle.

A 16-year-old St. George's resident was riding his auxiliary cycle at 7 p.m.

on Saturday when two pedal cyclists aged 9 and 10 rode out of Sofar Lane and across his path on Sofar Drive, causing a collision.

All three were treated at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for cuts and abrasions and released.

Police spokesman Sgt. Roseanda Jones said: "In this case the injuries could have been much worse.

"It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that their children's pedal cycles are equipped with all safety devices, including a braking system and a warning device.''
