individual spirit that remains fresh with every spin.Old Corrals and Sagebrush; I an Tyson (CBS Records)—A truly innovative album about the lives of real cowboys.Tyson creates an aura for each song

writing.It’s a solid package of family harmonies on commercial love songs.A Gospel Gathering; Terry Ca-risse and Friends (CARA Record) — Carisse and several Ottawa-area and nationally known enter-

Baker’s pen are brought to life by his gravelly voice on this debut album.It’s basic country with a contemporary feel that shows a high level of creativity.Oiit of My Heart; Iris Larratt (Acclaim

makes this album a winner.It’s Enough to be Remembered; Tim Williams (Ahed Records) — Williams’s lyrics are contemplative, funky and sometimes funny.He mixes moods in a delicate interplay that tries to coordinate his psychological and emotional needs with the circumstances of his life.This is fresh, intelligent and highly entertaining country.I Still Love You; Gerry Allard (Snocan Records) Allard has , y written 10 well-crafted songs and his versatile voice moves easily from a richly mellow sound to a leathery toughness.He communicates both the mood and story in a variety of uptempo tunes and ballads.Frenchi praise Russian rock opera—Junon et Avos PARIS (AP) — After three years of bureaucratic delay at home, the Soviet Union’s first rock opera made its western debut here in a loud and colorful clash of synthesizers, amplifiers and laser lights.Junon et Avos, a two hour opera blending religious chants, punk rock and Russian folk melodies, has played to overflow crowds since it opened at Moscow’s Komsomol Theatre in 1981 Ten years in the making, the opera was brought to Paris by fashion designer Pierre Cardin at his own expense.It opened last week at the Espace Cardin Theatre.Poet Andrei Voznesensky wrote the opera, inspired by a book on the Russian explorer Nikolai Rezanov given to him in San Francisco.Rezanov sailed to California in 1806 on a mission to “establish a bridge between Czarist Russia and America,” as the opera puts it.Voznesensky wrote the poem Story Under Full Sail in the 1970s and then expanded it into the opera libretto.French critics praised the opera, comparing its theme of unrequited love to Romeo and Juliet.Rezanov falls in love with Conchiti, the governor’s daughter, and seduces her.But Rezanov is Russian Orthodox and Conchita is Roman Catholic, so they cannot marry.SAILS FOR RUSSIA The captain sails for Russia to seek dispensation to marry her, but dies en route from the Siberian cold.Conchita, refusing to believe he’s dead, waits 35 years and enters a convent, taking a vow of silence.The cast of 80, directed by Mark Zakharov, includes shag- gy-haired youths in shiny black jumpsuits, festooned with stars and open to the waist.They throttle electric guitars as laser lights pierce smoke clouds.In Leningrad and Tashkent, people spent days in line for tickets.“In Moscow, tickets were so hard to find that an underground printer began counterfeiting them,” Zakharov said.“He was never discovered.” Cl ?y Music Chart NO.TITLE ARTIST WEEK ON 1.Say Say Say McCartney-Jac kson 1 11 2.Say It Isn’t So Hall & Oates

‘big deal’ in rock music LOS ANGELES (AP) - In a Scotsman’s burr every bit as thick as his publicist warned it would be, Big Country’s Stuart Adamson puts forth his theory on why the rock band has struck North America’s fancy.“I think the reason that we’ve clicked here is because style has never been that important to us,” says Adamson, 25, who in the last year has won almost universal acclaim as a guitarist, singer and songwriter.“We’ve never tried to tie ourselves up with one fashionable set or movement or anything like that.I just try and write songs about things that I feel are important — things I just see happen to people about me, or even situations that I feel myself in from time to time.” Whether the public has latched on to the poetic, sophisticated lyrics of such hits as Big Country and Fields of Fire, or whether the fascination is with the band’s signature intertwining of screeching, anthem-like guitar melodies that evoke Stuart’s homeland, is certainly open to debate.But there’s no question that Big Country is the latest big deal in rock, winning not only critical laurels but a berth in Billboard’s Top 20 for its debut LP, The Crossing.The album is a breath of fresh air from England.With a few exceptions — most notably Ireland’s U2, who also work with The Crossing producer Steve Lillywhite — Britain has sent a succession of pleasant, lightweight pop and synthesizer dance bands to North America, most of them nurtured in the chic London club scene.There’s nothing remotely reminiscent of disco about Adamson, whose usual plaid shirt gave way to a cooler, plain T-shirt during an interview.The group was in Los Angeles for a concert.A onetime apprentice health inspector, Adamson did spent a few years in London at the height of the punk era, working in a moderately successful band called the Skids.But in 1981, he returned to his home in the country of Fife, outside of Edinburgh, to start another band.He teamed up with a fellow Scotsman, guitarist Bruce Watson.Later, after an unlikely tour with Alice Cooper, bassist Tony Butler and drummer Mark Brzezicki rounded out Big Country’s personnel roster.Adamson had decided early on that it would be an all-guitar effort, partly because he felt more comfortable with a guitar than a keyboard, but also because he didn’t like the trend in London “where everybody was playing synthesizers and they’d pretend they were robots and stuff like that.I think music is much more human than that.” FROM HERITAGE Though amused by critics who’ve said Big Country’s guitars sound like bagpipes, Adamson readily admits that his melodies draw from his heritage.“In the area in Scotland that I live, it’s quite common for people to have gatherings at home, like after you’ve been out at a dance or a drink or a social occasion,” he says.“And everybody sort of gets up and sings a song, and they’re like old Scotch-Irish folksongs.I think it’s just unconsciously coming out in the way that I write.” TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23.1983-3 FELICES FIESTAS Loney’s book and record roundup.one last chance Canada's National Parks by R.D.Lawrence (COLLINS): $44.95.The ideal book for naturalists who want to combine their love of Canada's grandeur and a delight in beautiful, glossy pictures of the parks and wildlife found in the ten provinces and territories.This large format, glamorous “coffee table book”, was written and researched by R.D.Lawrence, a celebrated nature writer, and two photographers who logged some 40,000 miles in capturing the spectacular scenes here.In addition to the breathtaking photos, Lawrence’s text describes the physical features, history, native flora and fauna of each of the 29 parks, and provides informative details about the recreational activities, regulations and opening dates for each Canadian park.Even a casual flip through this colourful book is an instant promotion for the tourism opportuni-ties available in our own backyard — from Quebec’s La Mauricie Park on the North Shore, to Kluane Park in the Yukon.Canada’s natural resources are impressively showcased in Canada's National Parks.Phantoms by Dean R.Koontz (GENERAL): $22.50 Move over Stephen King and make way for Dean R.Koontz! The master of the macabre has been surpassed in many ways with Phantoms — it’s one type of horror that is conjured up by gigantic mad dogs, ghoulishly gar-rish 58 Plymouths, or cleaver-wielding hotel custodians.But the type of sheer, unadulterated feat that Koontz engenders in his book.“We’re dealing with the unknown, and the unknown encompasses all our nightmares”.So, foroverone half of Koontz’s book, the disappearance of over 500 residents of a northern California ski-town is a perplexing, unspeakable mystery which defies all the logic that doctor Jenny Paige can apply to the horrible discovery.Koontz’s scenario is as macabre and threatening as anything King has ever written.The choice of withholding the appearance of the villain of this piece until well past the mid-point of the book is a mystery writer’s clever decision, and even when Dr.Paige and the well-defined group of victims come face to face with the phantoms, Koontz keeps this horror romp bright and lively with new wrinkles and an assortment of tricks that appear to be all on the side of the nameless, invincible evil force.As' these horror genre novels go, Koontz’s is on an Edgar Allen Poe level in scare tactics, compared to the Walt Disney level of fear conjured up by his competitors.An Old-Fashioned Mystery by Runa Fairleigh (LESTER & OR-PEN DENNYS): $16.95.The particulars about how this odd book came to the attention of its publisher — detailed for the reader in a foreward by L.A.Morse (The Old Dick) — are as fascinating as this book is true to its title.After thirty years of life as a very reclusive, hermitic mystery figure living on one of the Thousand Islands between Kingston and Brockville, Ontario, Runa Fairleigh suddenly disappeared.The entire contents of her modest cottage were cleared out, with the exception of a 288-page manuscript which became An Old-Fashioned Mystery.Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY The book itself is a mystery fan’s delight — its parade of characters includes a brother and sister team of amateur sleuths, Sebastien and Violet Cornichon, who provide a running commentary on the assembled group of friends, relatives and associates who are gathered on one of the 1,000 Islands for a special birthday event.When Rosa Sill reaches her 25th birthday, she is to inherit some vast wealth, but her gruesome death is the first link in a chain of horrible homicides that decimates the island gathering.Runa Fairleigh's mystery is indeed old-fashioned in the Agatha Christie drawing-room murder sense, but the writing is up-beat, witty, and topical enough to reveal that the “Hermit Lady” was fully in touch with the contemporary world.It can only be hoped that the success that An Old-Fashioned Mystery should enjoy, might persuade Runa Fairleigh to clear up the personal mystery and favour readers with another good read.Shopping for records at holiday time, particularly for gift-giving, can be a mind-boggling experience.If you don’t know the exact artist that your gift-recipient favours, then the morass of names, eccentric titles, and outlandish covers can be greatly intimidating.The following “short cuts” are a mere scratch along the surface of the acres of records on display at most album emporiums — the categorization merely an attempt to arrange artists and groups in some arbitrary form.FEMALE VOCALISTS Sheena Easton's BEST KEPT SECRET (CAPITOL) features the pert Scots lass singing some fiery, heartful rock and roll that altogether belies her size.Agnetha Faltskog WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME (POLYGRAM).Non-devotees of Swedish super-group Abba may not cue up the Agnetha with being one of the glamorous “A’s” from the Abba lineup, but she has the same cut voice working for her on this solo shot.Anne Murray A LITTLE GOOD NEWS (CAPITOL).Canada’s darling hooks up again with producer Jim Ed Nor-nam for a collection of pleasant songs, including the chart item “A Little Good News”.Kim Carnes CAFE RACERS (CAPI- TOL).The voice that sang about those Bette Davis Eyes squares off on a new release, bolstered by the L.A.studio mafia, including Steve Lukather, Waddy Wachtel, Steve Porcaro, and the very prevalent keyboards of Bill Cuomo.Annabel Lamb ONCE BITTEN (A&M).A new fern vocalist from Britain whose style falls somewhere between the whiskey-harshness of Marianne Faithful and the strident shrillness of Kate Bush.Fans of that last-named lady will be delighted with KATE BUSH, a six-track mini-lp which boasts a pair of French numbers, “Ne T’Enfuis pas”, and “Un Baiser D’Enfant”, which will probably garner Québécois FM airplay.GROUPS — BRITS, CANUCKS & YANKS.Duran Duran SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER (CAPITOL).The fact that this incredibly popular UK band sounds very Beatlish on this, their third album appearance, can only partly account for their phenomenal success.There are enough catchy songs on this outing to warrant a warning that this hot seller may well be sold out close to Christmas time.Culture Club COLOUR BY NUMBERS (POLYGRAM).A Tiny Tim for Christmas and the Eighties! Pretty Boy George, his bisexuality bla- tantly flaunted as the gimmick behind this UK band’s success, leads this quirky quartet through some high-profile FM numbers — this album too is a runaway and hide bestseller.Brian May and Friends STAR FLEET PROJECT (CAPITOL) Queen’s guitar player hooks up with Van Halen and three other musicians for a project that produced the theme tune for a television science fiction broadcast in England — “Star Fleet”.Only three long tracks here, on this mini ep.including a May song, “Let Me Out” which is equal in quality to much of the Queen work.Rainbow BENT OUT OF SHAPE (PO LYGRAM).The “remnants of Deep Purple, chiefly Ritchie Blackmore’s guitars and Roger Glover’s bass, keep their album string alive with this heavy rocking album.Black Sabbath BORN AGAIN (WARNER BROTHERS).Deep Purple's onetime vocalist, Ian Gillan, after a short-lived attempt at a group of his own, joins decibels with Black Sabbath for some thick metal mucking that usually only placates long-time fans of this crash and bang British aggregation.Chilliwack SEGUE (A&M).A countdown of tracks that made it for West Coasters, Chilliwack dating from 1969 to 1983.Big hits include “Lonesome Mary” and last year’s “Watcha Gonna Do”.One of Canada's prime exports in the group sweepstakes.Eric Martin Band SUCKER FOR A PRETTY FACE (ELEKTRA).A fresh young band of baby-faced rockers who have an impressive debut album fired by tight harmonies and highly energized ar rangements.SOLOISTS John Cougar Mellencamp UH-HUH (POLYGRAM).Still riding on the laurels of his several-hit previous album, John Cougar had better make his next release a blockbuster or he won’t be around the best-seller bins come Christmas 1984.Cliff Richard GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE (CA PITOL).Britain's Elvis, as he was called at one time, suffers the same fate as his namesake — a dearth of good, exciting new material.The albums that were produced by former Shadow-mate Bruce Welch, which spawned “Devil Woman" has the sparkle that just doesn’t quite come off here.Rick Derringer (A&M).For ten years now, John ny Winter's guitar player has been going the solo route — he can still play the guitar with authority, and is joined here for a duet by one of the hottest voices in the business — Bonnie Tyler.David Allan Coe CASTLES IN THE SAND (COLUMBIA).One of the truly honest country performers has an album that’s easily worth the price of admission just by virtue of two of the tracks on it — a great biography tune, “The Ride”, about a mystery tour in Hank William’s Cadillac, with a great message for some of the current Nashville smoothies.Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” is a rollicking country duet with Lacy J.Dalton on this album that is dedicated to Mr.Zimmerman himself.FIRST AID TIP from St John Ambulance CHOKING -CONSCIOUS CASUALTY • Do not interfere unless the casualty is unable to speak or cough effectively • Only then, give four sharp blows with the heel of the hand between the shoulder blades • If unsuccessful, give four chest thrusts, by wrapping your arms around the casualty, In line with the armpits, and positioning a fist, thumb slde-ln on the lower half of the sternum • Alternate back blows and chest thrusts until the obstruction Is cleared or the casualty becomes unconscious • For a child, the technique Is the same but the force exerted proper tionately less • For an Infant, straddle over your arm with head lowered, deliver four back blows with light force • Turn In the face-up position and give four chest thrusts, to the mid-stemum using two finger tips • Casualties who have been treated for choking should always be seen by a doctor.BELVEDERE 2 Tel.: 562-3969 Next to Place Belvedere.Sherbrooke CLOSED SATURDAY A SUNDAY •3 EROTIC HITS 3« SPIRIT OF SEVENTY-SEX PRISONER OF PARADISE WEEK: 7:30 MONDAY CONTINUOUS FROM 2:00 p.m.Adults DIRKCTKI) HY He loved the American Dream.With a vengeance.__________ v&mmVssw CAUTION."Scarface” is an intense film both in its use of language and depiction of violence.We suKKest mature audiences GENERAL ADMISSION $5 00 Cinéma CAPITOL 59 King est SBS-OTT Scarface: Week: 7:30;

Jones says that the word “punt” in glassmaking terminology comes from the Italian word pantello, meaning “a small point.” This was later corrupted to “pontil,” to “punty,” and, finally, to “punt.” Wine experts disagree on when punt marks first appeared, although some authorities believe the marks had become common by the 16th or 17th centuries.Jones reports he has traced one punt mark back to the third century during the Roman occupation of Britain.“There is a green jug-like bottle on exhibit at the British Museum bearing the inscription on its bottom Felix fecit’ — made by Felix,” he says.It was discovered during archeological excavation of Roman ruins at Favor-sham, Kent, in 1878.More than 250 companies worldwide, from Argentina to Zambia, display punt marks on the bottoms or heels of their glass containers, Jones says, but in recent years the custom has become more of a point of pride than a practicality.mentary was produced with the co-operation of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Department.It used radio microphones and footage of actual patrols and incidents.The Toronto police did not like the documentary, Hodge said.In one scene, a young black sauntering through an empty parking garage is grilled about his destination, names of friends and place of birth, without any evidence a crime has been committed.Hodge said the police regard such interrogation, unthinkable to many Caucasians, as normal and acceptable.Film not pro or anti PetroCan says co-director Larry Pratt TORONTO (CP) — CBC-TV is reconsidering whether to carry a documentary about Petro-Canada chairman Wilbert Hopper, a film once rejected by the network as being too biased.A CBC spokesman says the $300,000 film by the National Film Board was turned down by the network last summer because it was unbalanced and tended toward advocacy journalism.But Larry Pratt, a co-director of the documentary, says he thinks CBC rejected the 56-minute film because CBC “is gutless and spineless.” “I think they are worried about Brian Mulroney and what he'll do to the CBC,” said Pratt, also a writer for the film and a political science professor at University of Alberta.Pratt said the film “is not pro or anti Petro-Canada.It’s a film about Hopper’s reaction to different situations.” However, Pratt added that “Conservatives will think it is a pro Petro-Canada film,” and predicted that “the Calgary oil community will hate it.” Pratt also said he was angered that he was told CBC would co-produce the NFB film only if Patrick Watson could rewrite the script.Watson is a veteran CBC journalist.But Paul Wright, executive producer of CBC-TV’s documentaries, said CBC rejected the film only because it was not “journalisticly balanced.” Wright said the film, called The Man From Pe- ffafiernacQ ylifer's Cliff Books, Stationery, Antiques and Handmade gifts La Bernache is full of discovery 1116 Main Street (819) 838-4202 Ayer’s Cliff tro-Can, doesn’t sufficiently take into account people who object to the government-run oil company, such as the private oil companies.Wright said the film is promotional of Petro-Canada and Hopper and virtually neglects those who object to the company.Wright, who saw the film last summer, said he made suggestions about possible changes to the film’s narration.He said he did not know whether any changes had been made.The film is scheduled to open in February in theatres in Edmonton and Toronto.The documentary, almost two years in the making, follows Hopper from boardroom to corporate jet to high-level meetings with then-energy minister Marc Lalonde during a particularly difficult period of the controversial national energy program.k RESERVE NOW!

23, 1983—5 Bishop’s grad visits Lennoxville after African By Michael McDevitt LENNOXVILLE — It’s a long way from the stolid confines of Bishop’s University to the exotic strangeness of southern Africa, but for Roger Boulter, a 1971 graduate of the Lennoxville university it was a transition to be taken in stride.Boulter, an employee of the British Council, recently finished a four and one half year stint as a cultural attaché in Lesotho, a small independent kingdom surrounded by South Africa, and will soon be taking on new duties in Romania.“It gives me the opportunity to travel,” Boulter says of his work, “and to experience different cultures and ways of life.It can be really quite fascinating.” Boulter and his wife Anne were in Lennoxville recently visiting Mrs.Emma Bean, an old friend of Roger’s from his college days and are presently enjoying a tour of Canada, the United States and England before taking up his new duties as a cultural attaché in Romania early in the new year.His experiences in Lesotho , he says, have left him with mixed feelings.“We lived a pretty good life there,” he says, “but we were isolated from the real lifestyle of the country.” As part of the diplomatic corps, the Boulters enjoyed the refinements that this entails, but remember vividly that theirs was not a typical Lesotho lifestyle.“The country has one of the smallest gross national products in the world,” Boulter says, “and 4fi per cent of that comes from remittances from workers in '* South Africa’s gold mines.The native people are poor and most of them make their living tending their herds.The ruling elite (descended form local chieftains) is very small.” Boulter says Lesotho, which was a British protectorate until 1966.is nominally a democracy but adds that elections haven’t been held there since 1970.“In the last elections the ruling Besotho Congress Party saw some of their traditional strongholds going to the opposition.They declared a state of emergency and that has been the situation ever since.The government has been cracking down on opposition increasingly in the last few years, and political terrorism has been on the rise.“The opposition was originally socialistic,” Boulter says, “but recently it’s more a mat-ter of being antigovernment.” The country is ruled by a titular king, Mos-hoeshoe II, who has reigned since 1959.It is independent politically from South Africa, which completely surrounds it, but is economically dependent in that almost half of its income derives from the wages of miners employed in South Africa’s rich gold fields.“The Besotho (the indigenous population ) are recruited actively by the South Africans because of their reputed ability to work well in underground conditions,” Boulter says.“The workers send most of their money back to support their families.” Boulter says the country survives largely from foreign aid, but has projects in the planning stage which should help it become slightly more independent of its rich and po-werful neighbor.“There is a great deal of hope being placed in the Highlands Water Project,” he says, “which will provide power for South Africa.South Africa is, of course, providing most of the funding and expertise for the project but it should provide some jobs in the near future.They have also built the gambling resort of Sun City which is only a two and a half hour drive from Johannesburg- Boulter says the country is dedicated to educating its people and spends almost 27 per cent of its budget supporting the National University of Lesotho in the capital city of Maseru.High schools, he says, are mostly supported by the three main chur- ches ; the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lesotho Evangelical.One of the sources of political unrest, he says, is the ruling elite’s control of scholarships and civil service jobs that are only available to the educated.“If you become openly identified with the opposition,” Boulter says, “your chances of accomplishing anything in these areas are pretty slim.” Boulter says that although life is difficult in Lesotho, its people are generally happy not to be living under the apartheid of neighboring South Africa.He says Lesotho benefits from its relationship with South Africa although officially relations with that country are unfriendly.“There’s no shortage of food, and for some the opportunities are relatively good for southern Africa, but there are tensions there that will have to be resolved.” Roger Boulter mf Christmas was a good time for Roger Boulter and his wife to visit old friend Emma Bean.West End all aglow again LONDON (CP) — The lights are back on in the West End.For the first time in years, almost every single one of the nearly 50 theatres in the West End is open for business.It’s an amazing revival coming only a year after some pundits had pronounced the heart of the English-speaking theatre world dead.In the late 1970s, the West End went through a drama of its own which was held over into the 1980s.Britain was in the middle of a recession, tourism was way down and so were audiences.At one point, early in 1983, 16 theatres were dark.The turning point began last year when audiences started rising again, five per cent in 1982.But it is in the past few months that the turnaround has become marked.“The early part of this year we were worried because we thought we weren’t going to be able to build on it (the success of 1982),” says Vincent Burke, development director of the Society of West End Theatre.“And then suddenly, in the middle of the summer, the invasion from North America occurred and we had a superb summer, and more importantly, a superb autumn.“Now we’re certain to achieve increased attendances over and above what we achieved last year.” BIG HOME AUDIENCE Of course tourists are vital to the health of London’s theatres but Burke says theatre owners have worked hard to build up a strong domestic audience.And their efforts have paid off with Londoners now buying almost half of the nine million theatre tickets sold annually.“I think really what has happened in this country is that people are getting tired of television.” Ballet is a very physical, very intimate thing’ TORONTO (CP) — Ballet people are a rather odd lot, products of a cloistered life in ballet school and then locked into a tight ballet circle that largely dominates their professional and personal lives.There are a lot of aches and pains and sweat, odd, staggered working hours, weeks and even months on the road touring, and at the end of it all the probability of being shelved 20 years before normal retirement age.Few get rich.But despite all that, ballet people generally love the life of dedication, the glitter, the never-ending new chal- lenges.And they enjoy each others’ company.“Because we are that much together there is the tendency to just surround ourselves with each other,” says Erik Bruhn, new artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada who, in fact, is a rare exception to the rule.“It starts in ballet school, which is a completely different world.It could be that there is too much isolation.” LIKES OUTSIDERS Copenhagen-born Bruhn, 55, became one of the world’s great dancers, performed all over the world and always had “a need to meet people outside of the ballet.” Unlike actors, authors and even artists, often in demand for interviews and on talk shows, ballet people tend to say T would prefer not to talk about my ballet, I would like you to see it,’ Bruhn says.“Ballet is a non-vocal art and ballet is a very physical thing, a very intimate thing, because we lift, touch, kiss.It’s like a love affair we have going for us in order to communicate on stage.” His great joy on joining the compa- ny last July was the amazing strength of the male section — “The potential talent in our boys is the best in the world.” Among them, for instance, is Raymond Smith, at 26 a principal dancer, and newcomer Rex Harrington, 21, fresh out of the National Ballet School here which is not directly related to the company.BECOMES NORMAL It’s a hard life, Smith agrees, “but after a while you don’t think about it — it just becomes normal ” ève 6—T.OWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1983 KAAA XPIITOYPENNA Always a kick for radio says CFIN’s Delaat By Robert Palmer COATICOOK After paying his dues for more than six years Clement Delaat’s dream has finally come true and the Eastern Townships has its first bilingual FM radio station.CFIN FM 104.5 is the goal toward which the 28-year-old Dix-ville native and friend Michael Dougherty, of Hereford, have been working since 1978.And on November 21 the first on-air testing marked the birth of Quebec’s first FM country music station.Hut Delaat took his turn down the long, hard road first.T’d always had a kick for radio," says Delaat.who is married and the father of a five-month-old jr • »; ' ." \« The 220-foot transmission tower used by by CFIN FM is located on R.R.3 in Dixville.bouncing baby boy.But no matter what radio station doorstep he turned up on he always got the same answer: “It won’t work; you’ve got an accent.” Delaat took a course at the National Institute of Broadcasting’s Montreal school to learn the finer points of the trade but it didn't remove the main obstacle he was told stood in his way — he still had his French accent.He took a job at CHLT on a volunteer basis for eight months working 7 a.m.to noon Sunday mornings on a religion show.That didn’t last long after the union heard he wasn’t being paid.In 1978 he began the shortest stint of his radio career at CKLD, an AM station in Thetford Mines.There he worked the graveyard shift from midnight to 6 a.m.for exactly two nights before the station had to cut back.As Delaat says, he was the last one in and the first one out.In 1979 Dougherty, 33, whom he had worked with in the summers of 1975 and ’76 at the Canadian Customs office at the border, contacted him with the idea of starting their own station and the plans for CFIN FM began.Both Delaat and Dougherty had experienced the difficulty of receiving properly in the area the signals of existing AM and FM radio stations.If anything, Delaat says, it was easier to get good reception from U.S.stations.The first step — getting a C RTC license to broadcast — was long and expensive.“At the beginning we paid everything out of our own pockets, expecting the company would pay us back later." For Delaat and Dougherty, paying everything out of pocket carried a price tag of more than $35,000.The company they formed was CFIN Coaticook FM, Inc., set up to take ownership of the station.Dougherty is the president of the company and technical director of the station, and Delaat is vice-president, secretary-treasurer and station manager.They had a company, plans for a station and capital, raised through ‘shareholders’ — approximately 15 people who bought in to the station.They had been told by the CRTC that a fre- ** / ' * Richard John spins the records fn courtesy of a broomball game.quency of 104.5 FM was open but their first application for a license was denied in 1981, despite the fact they had six representatives from various sectors in the community present to back the proposal.The regulatory agency said their format wasn’t tight enough and it wasn’t convinced of the feasibility of the proposal.For Delaat and Dougherty, it was back to the drawing board.But they weren’t beaten yet and decided then to rethink their proposal.If there wasn’t enough room for another middle-of-the-road contemporary music station, they’d have to decide on a different format; that’s when country music began to pipe through their heads.Delaat and Dougherty submitted a proposal for a country station and it was accepted November 3,1982.The CRTC in its written decision praised the two entrepreneurs, saying they were “bringing a real alternative to the region.” CFIN FM was granted a licence to broadcast in both English and French, the first such licence, Delaat believes, ever issued by the agency.The present format of the station provides for 80 per cent French and 20 per cent English programming (speaking).Their the on-air studio during his 3-7:30 p.are both news bulletins and advertisements in English.The music composition is approximately 55 per cent country, 20 per cent contemporary, 20 per cent pop/ rock/disco, 3 per cent classical and 2 per cent European.Although Delaat says 90 per cent of the country music played is English, the overall language split of the music is 50/50.Having been on the air almost a month, CFIN FM today employs a total of 15 people.There are four full-time disc jockeys during the week playing music in four-and-a-half-hour shifts and three part-timers each day on weekends.The station is equipped with a production studio, in which Delaat says he can produce commercials using state-of-the-art equipment, and an on-air studio from which day to day music and news is broadcast.CFIN FM transmits its signal from a 220-foot tower located nearby.In all, Delaat says the station, only a month old, has several hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment.But even now that the goal has been realized, Delaat says plans are far from complete.CFIN FM broadcasts only 18 hours per day at 500 watts but if all goes well he say s a full 24-hour complement of .shift.The cast on his hand is programming will be heard soon.And, in the distant future Delaat hopes to increase the station’s signal to 10,000 watts.“We’re planning to strengthen our presence in the region,” he promises.“Our goal from the start was to be an Eastern Townships radio station.The station is completely owned by Townshippers and we wanted it that way.” “We care about the Townships,” he added.Delaat says so far CFIN FM has been well received by listeners.“The reception has been very good.People are very happy about having the station.” And, the people who make up the region’s largest industry haven’t been forgotten; if anything, Delaat says, farmers will be a focus of CFIN FM’s information services.“We’re opening doors for farmers.At the moment we’re doing the farm information in French but it will definitely be in English very soon.” CFIN FM invites people to call or write to the station with English- and French-language public service announcements, information and advertisements.It’s located at 194 St.Jean Baptiste, Coaticook, and the telephone number is 849-6346.Glens Falls museum dedicated to the art of collecting GLENS FALLS, N.Y.(AP)— In this small Adirondack mountain city, hundreds of kilometres from the major cultural centres, is a villa containing artworks by Rembrandt, Degas and Botticelli.Rubens, Renoir and Matisse are also familiar names within the small public museum begun by Glens Falls residents Louis and Charlotte Hyde.The collection exists in relative obscurity in upstate New York, about 300 kilometres from New York City.But the ambiance of the collection and its location set it apart from larger, more famous museums.Even though the museum is publicly owned, it still holds the intimacy of the Hydes’ home and only the 15th-century Nuremberg Chronicles are displayed under glass.Seventeenth and 18th-century French and 16th-century Italian furniture still complement the rooms.Art is displayed often just where Charlotte Hyde found it most appealing — such as Picasso’s Boy Holding a Blue Vase, which she kept in her own bedroom, and Rubens’ Head of A Negro, radiant when lit by sun rays filtering through the curtained sunlight in the parlor.“This is a museum about collecting,” says museum director Frederick Fisher.“It’s (the collection) as important to the history of collecting as it is to art itself.” ARRIVED IN 1907 The Hydes moved to Glens Falls from Hingham, Mass., in 1907 to take part in the Finch, Pruyn Paper Co., owned by Charlotte’s father, Samuel Pruyn.After their 2V2-storey stucco home was completed in 1913, the Hydes began to travel to Europe, purchasing furniture to accent the Renaissance Florentine-style villa.But it was not until the 1920s that the Hydes began to collect art in earnest.They made most of the early purchases on their own.However, it was Hyde’s former Harvard classmate, critic Bernard Berenson, who helped them acquire Botticelli’s Annunciation in 1924.The Hydes collected tapestries, sculpture, paintings, drawings and stained glass, considering the scale of the house where pieces would be displayed, the authenticity of the works and their own personal tastes, Fisher said.They were not extremely wealthy, he said, and could not often buy “masterpieces” simply because prices were higher than they could afford.The Hydes paid $35,000 — the highest price they ever paid for art — to the Soviet Union for Rembrandt’s Portrait of Christ in 1933.The 17th-century oil painting has been valued at more than $1 million.Fisher refused to put 'a dollar estimate on the value of the complete collection, which was the target of a foiled robbery in 1980.Offers came to the Hydes from other museums, such as Harvard’s Fogg Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to donate their collection.But the Hydes declined, in order to keep the collection in the home they cherished and the city to which they were devoted In their years together, the Hydes purchased about a third of the current collection, Fisher said.After Hyde died in 1934, his wife hired curators to help “round out” the collection, Fisher said, preparing the museum she planned to leave to the city.In 1952, she established a trust for the Hyde Collection, choosing trustees and instructing them to promote her collection and encourage its growth.She continued to live in her home-museum until her death in 1963.The house, with its indoor court and surrounding rooms, is air-conditioned but has no provisions for climate control, creating a potential hazard to works dating as far back as the 12th century.Light also needs to be controlled, for aesthetic and conservation reasons, Fisher said.He admits the house can be a threat to the collection.In 1983, more than 13,000 people visitied the museum but, Fisher said, the average tourist doesn’t know about the collection. PARABENS TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23.198.T-7 Government sets 1.5 metre limit on pornography Rumor has it that the rash of recent bomb scares in the Sherbrooke area — one at Sieiiop’s and one at the Carrefour is a rash for the Townships — were aimed at Record sports editor Bobby ‘white shoes’ Fisher.According to reliable sources within the Sherbrooke Jets organization, General Manager Georges Guibault has had it with Fisher's commentary on the way Sherbrooke’s answer to the June Taylor Dancers have been playing of late.Since the local squad has given new meaning to the word ‘inept’ I don’t understand it myself, but then again some people have thin skins.Anyway, Fisher just happened to be at the university and the shopping mall when the bombs were reported — draw your own conclusions.For my part, I’m writing this from the comfort of my own home and not The Record office.Received in the Mail: I know that occasionally, very occasionally, an error of spelling or syntax may creep its way into The Record, but lately the criticism has got entirely out of hand.We received a letter last week asking us to publish a number of quotations from a particular religious tract — something we don’t do — and it included the following ."We feel that (there follows the name of a well-known religious reformer who’s birthday is coming up Sunday) has instructed us to make this material available to you in your own language; however we must resort to the English language for our correspondence as we do not have translators available.” As I said, I know we make mistakes but this is ridiculous Speaking of translators, it would appear there’s a need for one in Colebrooke, New Hampshire.A classified ad recently appeared in the pages of The Record which has led to some speculation about the nature, so to speak, of the severity of the unemployment situation south of the border.Under the Job Opportunities banner, the ad read proudly: “Mature, single female for milking and farm chores.Room and board plus salary.Colebrooke, New Hampshire.” Although I’m sure the advertiser meant well, you can once again draw your own conclusions.Someone in the federal government — those are the ones Who’s who By TADEUSZ LETARTE collecting the ridiculous salaries in Ottawa as opposed to the ones collecting the ridiculous salaries in Quebec — at least knows what he or she, or is it person, is doing.The Record received a pamphlet last week addressed to none other than Mikey T know what’s on but 1 just never get there' McDevitt.The brief was entitled Pornography and Prostitution Issue Paper.One of the suggestions is that stores be held to a 1.5 metre pornography limit.I’m not sure if this is in reference to the photos in Playgirl Magazine or the distance porn displays must be from the floor but my room-mate is all for it.Obviously confused between Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret.Lawrence Eagleberger of the American State Department suggested last week that Trudeau’s peace proposal sounded like the mental meanderings of a drug-effected leftist.Trudeau, whose politics are just to the right of John Paul II, handled the accusations with his usual cool aplomb — keeping his finger bolstered — and called Eagleberger a ‘pipsqueak’.An obviously enraged Minister of External Affairs, Allan MacEachen, said he would confront Eagleberger if he saw him or if he went to Washington in the next few weeks or if Cape Breton Island was granted independence or .The Montreal Expos — the team that has turned being a runner up into an art form — made a dazzling trade last week.Pat Rooney a promising young outfielder with the Wichita farm club was dispatched to the Yankees — you remember, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Whitey Ford — for lefthander Tim Burke.(Editor’s note: The new pitcher shouldn’t be confused with the other Tim Burke who is a social-historian with the Gazette whose copy inexplicably finds its way to the sports page.After all, as Bob McDevitt of the CBC said on hearing the news, the Gazette’s Burke can’t even lift a beer mug with his left hand.) Some things one really must see to believe, but as I have this one from fwo usually reliable witnesses, I will risk my credibility to report this incredible event One evening last week, a group of friends was gathered at the home of John ‘that’s all’ Banner for an evening of dancing, song and pleasant conversation, when the subject of the proper way of preparing a dry martini arose.Des ‘wanna buy a burial plot?' McKcon, offered his well-tested opinion that a flashlight, shone from a distance of 1 feet through a bottle of vermouth onto a properly chilled bowl of gin yielded the best results.Harmer, Serrurier to all the Townshippers, disagreed and demonstrated a recipe handed down (more likely dropped) through generations.An unopened bottle of the finest London dry was placed into the clothes dryer and the timer set for seven minutes.The results, Harmer insisted, would be perfect.When the seven minutes — not a second more — were completed, a small group of eager connaisseurs gathered to test the results of this recipe and upon opening the dryer door they discovered the bottle was nowhere in sight (there it was.gone).This reversal of the first Christian miracle had McKeon fingering his beads and reciting his well-worn Latin prayers when the mystery was unravelled and something less than divine intervention revealed.It seems the previous evening Harmer had demonstrated the extreme ubiquitousness of the home appliance by using it to heat up a few cheeseburgers which had become cold in transit from the manufacturer.Securely wrapping the de licacies in paper, he placed them in the dryer and failed to remember a simple law' of physics.Air expands when heated.The cheeseburgers blew up and the bottle of gin had nestled snugly and firmly into the remains of the melted cheese still residing within.The machine had stopped with this mélange firmly attached to the roof of the dryer drum, out of sight.I swear to God! ‘Sometimes’ I think I’m back in 1940s Hollywood LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Debra Winger decided to move to Malibu, Calif., she occupied a house on the beach for two weeks to determine if she could tolerate the constant sound of the surf.She couldn’t.Instead, she moved across Pacific Coast Highway to a house high above the noisy sea.“Anything consistent and predictable is terrifying,” she says.That pretty well sums up Winger’s philosophy and helps explain why at 28 she has emerged as one of the hottest “new generation” actresses in the business.Her current release, Terms of Endearment, seems certain to bring her a se- cond Academy Award nomination.She was nominated last year for An Officer and a Gentleman.Winger, who has an alert mind and eyes that can penetrate the phoney mystique of Hollywood, is known for her confrontations with the studio establishment.She insists on taking months to prepare for a role and months to remove herself from the character.“I still find things to get angry about,” she says.“Sometimes, I think I’m back in 1940s Hollywood and the studio system still prevails.And so, as soon as I finish working, I take off.Let them try to find me.” TOURS COUNTRY That might be hard to do.Jack Nicholson, her co-star in Terms of Endearment and a close friend, talks about receiving telephone calls from Winger from remote corners of the country.When she isn’t working, she often departs on a crosscountry tour.“I used to take the train, but I couldn’t get off if I found an interesting place to visit,” she says.“So I drive.I’ve been known to stop a couple of weeks in one place, maybe a couple of years.” Most of the time, she’s not recognized and can remain anonymous.A cross-country trip remains one of Winger’s most vivid early memories.When she was six, her family moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to Los Angeles in a 1957 station wagon and encountered a fierce storm en route.“1 remember that it got so bad we had to stop at a roadside cafe,” she says.“There were other families there, their clothes dripping on the floor, praying for their lives.Everyone else was fearful.I thought it was great.” Born in Cleveland of Hungarian-Jewish parents, Mary Debra Winger grew up in suburban Van Nys.After high school, she worked on an Israeli kibbutz, trained with the Israeli army and then returned to the United States to study sociology at California State University at Northridge.She pursued acting on the side.LEFT PARALYZED She was in an automobile accident in 1973 that left her blind and partially paralyzed for several months.It convinced her to make the most of her life.Winger began acting in TV commercials.“There was one where I said, Gee, Mom, the bathroom smells fresh.’ That was for Sani-Flush,” she says.“I made $9,000 on that one, enough to support me for a year.” Her big break came in Urban Cowboy, with John Travolta.Then she replaced Raquel Welch in Cannery Row, opposite Nick Nolle.An Officer and a Gentleman followed.In typical Winger fashion, she made all three deals without an agent.“No one ever told me I had to foloow the rules,” she says.“There are no givens in the movie business.” But An Officer and a Gentleman taught her she really needed an agent.“I signed the wrong ’nudity’ clause,” she says.“All the contracts have nudity clauses, you know.They define certain zones, like ’from the right shoul- der to the upper thigh,’ and ’from the neck to midway down the trunk.’ “I usually try to avoid nude scenes.They’re embarrassing to me and embarrassing to my family.I usually leave them to those who look good up there.” She laughed as she recalled finally agreeing to appear nude in longshot for Cannery Row.She was relieved of the duty after the director, David Ward, decided to use a better-endowed double.A FREE SUBSCRIPTION ARTHRITIS NEWS Canada's Only oflicidl lay publication about arthritis, is available at no charge by writing: ARTHRITIS NEWS The Arthritis Society 920 Yonqe Street, Suite 420 Toronto On to no M4W 317 * 8—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1983 MET DE BESTE WENSEN WHAT’S ON Music Well, it’s Christmas time again.I sincerely hope everyone has survived this year’s line-ups, rotten weather, difficult decisions and lack of monetary equipment with their Christmas cheer intact (mine is well hidden deep within the recesses of.never mind.) In any event, we are about to endure the one holiday of the year that Mikey refuses to allow to be sullied by the crass commercialism, rotten weather, surly tempers, greed and other reminders of our human failings that so often decorate our endeavors.It is a festival of hope and peace and, with any luck, love and as such it has my undying support.So to you, my faithful, patient and forgiving readers, Merry Christmas, Cheery Chanukah and may the week be drenched with contentment for you and yours.Now, back to business.Cal Picken has brought back some big guns in the latest round in the battle of the Fans this weekend and next with Royal Male, a group that went over exceptionally well during their last appearance at his FL Hideaway half-way between Lennoxville and Harmer’s place.These boys, Mike Goodsell, Bob Boisclair, Jacques Jobin, Kick Binny, and Mike Gibbons have everything a good band needs: exceptional ability, determination, imagination.good taste, and the willingness to work hard.Unfortunately, the boys are only playing Thursday and Friday of this week, but the'll be playing Thursday through Saturday next week and there will be a New Year’s Eve Party next Saturday with the band providing the entertainment.I don’t have the details for that yet, other than a $5 cover charge, but I must assume Cal has something special lined up because you can’t charge five bucks for something that’s usually free just because it’s New Year's Eve.Can You?.Naw.Down the road, Costa is also bringing out a local favorite with The Blucsbusters.a band that features the amazing licks of Brian Monty (he also plays a mean guitar).Now, this is strict! > rumor but the grapevine tells me that Brian is going to be packing up his brood and heading into the big city in the near future, which will definitely be our loss, but probably his gain.1 hope it’s not true, but when one is in the business of manufacturing some of the finest guitars made, it only makes sense to go where the market is.Anyway, I’ll try to keep you informed.Tonight though, Luciano Pavarotti is everywhere this week.By MICHAEL McDEVITT Brian is still available at the Georgian Hotel right smack in the heart of Lennyberg.Out in Sawyerville, at the Salle Veilleux, Rambling Fever provides the country entertainment at a special Christmas dance.In a town where every sunrise is treated as an occasion suitable for a party, you can be sure there’ll be something special going on out there.The music starts at 9 and continues until 1.This week and next on Friday and Saturday evenings, the Manoir Waterville presents The Robinson-Fowler Band doing their thing again for their appreciative fans.This group can get them going at almost any time and Waterville is one of the places that these guys seem to be able to wrap around their little fingers.Naturally, the Manoir will be ushering in the new year in grand style.In Rock Island at the historic Del Monty the rock band Sidewinder is scheduled to knock ’em dead tonight.Like almost everywherfe else, the Del has written off Christmas Eve, but they tell me they’re planning something special for New Year’s Eve.Details to follow next week (all of this ‘next week’ stuff assumes that Mikey will live through this week.It’s even money so far).I suppose it makes sense to start making New Year’s Eve plans now, so I’m breaking one of my own self-imposed rules to tell you about what’s going on next week at places that have nothing lined up for this week.What the hell, it's holiday time.Out in the election capital of the Eastern Townships, in the lovely village of Bury (it’s pronounced just like it’s spelled — like what you do to dead people) the Chalet Jean-Paul is planning a big bash to usher in the year of the George Orwell with a big bash on Saturday featuring the music of the Midnight Men.This is a hopping country outfit that'll make sure the place keeps on boogeying until the wee hours, and the place is going to be including what I am assured will be a delicious full-course meal in the price of a ticket.Admission is $9 per, but with a meal and a party, that ain’t too bad.The action will get going at 9.30.And out in South Stukely, John Bird and his Station 88 will also be providing some New Year’s happenings with the music of Cedar Creek.The party is, naturally, on New Year's Eve, and I’m sure it will be a good one.John has been bringing some good music out his way over the last several months but that part of the world has been facing some pretty hard times lately and he says he’s not sure what the entertainment agenda will be like after the holidays.Hang in there, John.The recovery is on its way.The Knowlton Pub is planning a big bash for New Year’s too.This fine establishment will be using a disc jockey, however, because they have the enviable problem of not being able to fit in both a stage and their customers all at the same time.Life’s a bitch, ain’t it?The Pub is a fun place, though, and I’m sure they'll be ushering in 1984 with all the gusto they can.Exhibitions As can be expected during the holiday season most of the area’s galleries are closed for a while as evrybody takes a break from the hopefully successful pre-Christmas sales.Exhibitions, however, although not of a verifiable artistic nature will be staged aplenty and should be available at any self-respecting holiday party.I myself, I know, am planning several, and only hope the likes of Tadeusz Le-tarte have some traditionaly archaic family customs which will take them far from my path.’Tis the season, after all.For addicts of the visual arts, however, there are a few places that are still showing.La P’tite Gayole, a fabulous little Belgian restaurant on Compton street in Waterville, the work of noted artist André Philibert will be on view throughout the holiday weekend.Philibert’s talent is undeniable, and if holiday plans preclude any visit to restaurants this weekend, we can look forward to a major show on his part sponsored by the Sherbrooke trust in the coming year.The Rothchilds of the Sherbrooke art scene, the Caisse Populaire de Sherbrooke-est, are presenting the rural simplicity of the work of Gaston Ricard until the end of the month.Now, scenes of rural Quebec, bringing back memories of simpler times and all cannot be described as difficult to find in this area, and it becomes increasingly difficult to find new things to say.Picard, however, is among the best of the genre around and his work, while admittedly not revolutionary — or even disturbing — is generally very pleasing to the eye.His eye for detail and his technical skill with the brush combine to create pictures that anyone can appreciate.And that folks, believe it or not is just about all.Remember, though, that one of the best things about holidays is living to talk about them, so listen to Mikey and try to cut down on your driving and drink more carefully.It can be a beautiful life, don’t throw it away.Sell it.Movies I haven’t had a chance to get out to see Terms of Endearment up at the Cinémas Carrefours yet, so I’m particularly pleased that it’s sticking around for at least one more week.I can tell you that the information I’m getting from everybody I’ve talked to that has seen it though, that it must be one hell of a film.The reviews have all been raves, and they tell me it is a powerfully sentimental charmer.Even crusty Tim ‘Ebenezer Scrooge ate quiche’ Belford tells me he almost felt real emotion for a while, and that, believe me, is something.With a cast that includes Shirley Maclaine, Debra give me a husky’ Winger, and Jack Nicholson it isn’t hard to understand the movie’s popular success thoughts it?The incredibly violent Scarface returns for another week at the Cinéma Capitol this week, and this is one movie that people should make up their own minds about.It is classically graphic, like all Brian De Palma films, and this seems to tick a lot of people off.However, those who criticize all violence in film as serving no purpose (violence for violence sake’s, etc.) should also realise that criticism for criticism’s sake is equally vile.Scarface is a violent film, but it tells a violent story.To say that depiction of this violence is of necessity wrong may make some people feel nice and secure in their little cocoons, but it lacks any validity as far as I can tell.There are places in the world (and the Miami of the 80s certainly qualifies) that are exceptionately violent and an awful lot of people don’t have the option of not seeing it.Moviegoers do.Scarface is a well-made film, although no masterpiece, and it does have a valid story to tell.Star A1 Pacino puts in a typically competent performance as the flash-in-the-pan bigshot grabbing for what he can get.You are forwarned.If you would rather not have your sensibilities upset, stay home.The Waltons are still being re-run.At the mighty Cinéma Princess in Cowansville this week, Sean Connery is back in the role that made him famous James Bond, in the appropriately titled Never Say Never Again.Connery, of course, had sworn he would never play Bond again — a decision that made Roger Moore independently happy — but obviously, artistic considerations — green ones — allowed him to reconsider.In any event it doesn’t matter much one way or another.Undisciplined Bondage fans invariably insist only their particular favorite can do the famous Ian Fleming character justice, but as near as I can tell, all Bond films are similarly ridiculous, unbelievable, sexist, loud, and wonderful.This one is no exception.Plenty of action, adventure, adolescently inspired sex and really bad bad-guys.How can you miss.Naturally, the theatres at both the local universities will be closed during the time all the lovely students and the football teams are away, but they should be getting back for more early next year.Hopefully, the University of Sherbrooke will continue its varied and artisticly satisfying list of productions, and perhaps even more hopefully I trust that JJisliop’s ®mdrrsitp’8 Film Society can get its act together and provide the kind of programming people will want to come out for.Television It’s the holiday season, folks, so be prepared for more trash than you can possibly imagine invading your home through the noble auspices of the boob tube.You’ll get to see everybody from Johnny Cash to Mel Torme trying to convince you that you don’t have anything better to do than spend Christmas with them so my advice, basically, is turn the damn thing off and look to see whose sitting next to you on the couch.It might be someone you like.

appropriate.At 10 on Channel 12, Ric Wellwood stars in A Stephen Leacock Christmas as the great Canadian humorist gives one of his celebrated one-man shows.Big Surprise DepartmentHere comes the fat guy again.At midnight on Vermont ETV Luciano Pavarotti has decided that he’s going to sing all those songs for us too.Why not?Christmas day is totally dominated by the eminently predictable so I’m only going to mention a couple of things that catch my eye.On CBC at 9.30, Maureen Forrester stars in an unusual production of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.The story is presented in song, dance and mime and features music by The Orford String Quartet.At 11.25 also on CBC Humphrey Bogart and William Holden play two rich brothers who both fall for the family chauffeur’s beautiful daughter (Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.At 2 a.m on Channel 12, it’s recent nostalgia time as the quasi-documentary (quasi-modo’s older brother) Let It Be shows us The Beatles as they record the million-selling album of the same name — the last they would ever record together.Not a great film, but a pretty good look at one of the music business’s greatest success stories caught at the height of its fame.On Monday Vermont ETV provides the culture with two head-to-head classics.At 8, Peter Martins and Patricia McBride star in Ruth Page’s ballet The Merry Widow based on the operetta by Franz Lehar At 9, violinist Gidon Kremer leads the English Chamber Orchestra in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.On Tuesday evening Cary Grant, Eve Arden and Alexis Smith star in Night and Day a highly unlikely biography of the great American composer Cole Porter.This vintage 1946 clinker airs on CBC at 1.57.On Wednesday evening at 8, Vermont ETV presents another Mark Russel Comedy Speical featuring the talented Washington satirist doing what he does best—pointing out the funny side of the people who are leading us down the path of destruction.Seriously, Russel is a splendid comedian and his attacks generally connect right on target.On Thursday at 8, Vermont ETV presents an extremely fascinatiing look at the private art collection of one of the modern world’s most intriguing men.Five Centuries of Masterpieces : The Armand Hammer Collection focuses on a collection that has been dazzling viewers around the world and this intimate tour offers a glimpse at what real money can buy.Channel 12 has a couple of good late-night movies Thursday beginning at midnight with Fun With Dick and Jane starring Jane Fonda and George Segal.This comedy focuses on a young fast-living couple who turn to bank robbing to support their pleasures after the husband gets fired from his job.At 1.5Ü, Sean Connery and the still stunning Audrey Hepburn star as an aging Robin Hood and Maid Marion in Robin and Marion.This is a rather touching little film that int roduces us to the famous couple more than twenty years after their adventures, when Robin is forced to rescue Marion, who has since become mother superior of her convent, from being sent to prison.Radio At 6.30 tonight on CBC Radio’s As It Happens a Christmas Eve tradition is renewed as the show contacts members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving far from family and friends in such places as Germany, Cyprus or even dread Val Cartier.At 7 .30.on Variety tonight, Vicky Gabereau presents part two of a concert and interview with Quebec songwriter Raoul Dugay.As is not surprising Christmas music predominates in the days immediately preceeding the holiday, but there are a few moments when other stuff happens as well.At 10.15 on CBC Stereo’s Nightfall an old Victorian spooker has been brought back to life in The Appetite of Mr.Lucraft.This is a pretty gruesome tale just right for all us grinches.On Saturday radio listeners are presented with a choice of Christmas carols, Christmas traditional music or music dedicated to Christmas.There will also be Christmas songs and theme shows.The only break comes at 7.05 when Saturday Stereo Theatre presents The Christmas Adventures of John Nicholson by Robert Louis Stevenson.A young man is driven by circumstances from his native Scotland and when he returns at Christmas his problems continue.This is a pretty good little story and it's lots of fun, and it has Christmas in it for a change too.On Sunday which for those of you who forgot is Christmas Day, we have more Christmas music.At 4.05 on CBC Radio and at 7.05 on CBC Stereo, however, a special broadcast of Oscar Wilde’s hilarious Christmas story The Canterville Ghost The poor ghost in this story just can’t seem to get his haunting together and, in an amusing clash of cultures Wilde demonstrates once again his inimitable wit.At 9.05 Ideas takes a look at one of Victorian England’s most fascinating men Charles Dodgson who as Lewis Car-roll introduced the world to a little girl named Alice who had bizarre adventures in very strange places.Dodgson was a teacher, a mathematician, and a noted photographer and his complicated personality makes him a very interesting study.His fascination for the real-life version of Alice (as attested to by his photographs of her) would today have landed him a bed right next to independent members of the National Assembly in the Sherbrooke Hospital, yet he was a particularly intelligent and talented man.This show almost has nothing to do with the holiday but it’s called, you guessed it, A Christmas Carroll On Monday, Ideas presents the first of a two part feature on Canadian poet and novelist Earle Birney (to be completed on Tuesday) If Canada had a poet laureate it would almost certainly have to be Earle Birney who has spent a lifetime writing about this vast country, in this autobiographical program the grand old man of Canadian letters (as he hates to be called) reminisces about a literary life in Canada.On Wednesday Ideas remembers the heady days of the Weimar Republic on the 50th anniversay of its death at the hands of Adolph Hitler.The Weimar republic of Germany was an incredible artistic and intellectual centre where people like Thomas Mann.Berthold Brecht, Albert Einstein and Christopher Isherwood worked and fluorished.In this two-part program the writings and reminiscences of some of the people who belonged to that era are featured and the importance of this cultural eruption is discussed by artists, critics and sociologists.a legacy for the future.We’ve been turning that hope into reality for almost 50 years.On the wings of tomorrow ^ .rides a hope that our rich wildlife and waterfowl heritage

(TUE.THU) i -A,! tw?ip* /f GiVe.Speaking of Soap by Mary Ann Cooper Z' BRIAN MATTHEWS Brian Matthews' first professional role was as the younger brother in "Pippin” in a dinner theatre in Connecticut where, besides singing, he was required to dance."I wouldn’t exactly call what I did dancing,” he laughs.”1 sort of moved while everyone else danced.” A ten-week run of “Pippin” was followed by other dinner theatre engagements, stock and repertory productions and a few TV commercials which required handsome young men and not much else.Then came a stint as lead understudy in the Broadway musical, “Sara-va,” following which he was cast in his first film, the lead in a low budget horror movie, "The Burning.” Finally, with "Copperfield” came stardom - or more accurately, temporary stardom.The next five months in New York after the play closed found Matthews knocking on many doors and being considered for many roles, but always the wrong door or the wrong role.Matthews decided his career might pick up in Los Angeles and he moved there in the fall of 1981.Matthews found a new agent and his fortunes took an instant about face.Whether it was luck or experience, the agent made one incredibly opportune phone call which resulted in an audition for Matthews and his being cast as Eric in "The Young And The Restless.” Now in his third 13-week cycle on the popular daytimer, Matthews enjoys his role and sees himself in it for the forseeable future.But he looks forward to more Broadway musical roles as well as to motion pictures and TV movies.Matthews, 6’1" and 170 pounds, plays tennis and golf whenever his schedule allows and admits that he’s hooked on motocross.He lives with three dogs, including Sachii, a shepherd-husky who he found sick, wet and hungry outside the stagedoor of "Copperfield.” Recap: 12/19 - 12/23 Preview: 12/26 - 12/30 TEXAS — Iris tells Paige she intends to end her engagement to Dennis.Holding a gun on Iris, Eliot demands a helicopter.Barrett
