Arts organizations play waiting game with gov’t OTTAWA (CP) — Watch and wait seems to be the only prospect for arts organizations looking to the federal government for financial help in 1985.The waiting is becoming nerve-racking for organizations that have come to depend on federal grants for a good part of their operating budgets.In his first economic statement for the new Conservative government.Finance Minister Michael Wilson announced cuts of more than $100 million in arts grants for the fiscal year starting next April 1.And he warned that more drastic moves may be made in his spring budget.The major cut is $85 million in the program and capital budget of the CBC, by far the biggest of the government’s cultural affairs agencies.But more hurtful, perhaps, because of their much smaller budgets and the demands put on them by the arts community, were cuts of $3 5 million ordered for the Canada Council and $1 million for the National Arts Centre.Restoring good relations between the government and the Canada Council may be the most difficult problem facing the arts in 1985.Fighting to retain its political independence, the council has protested government stringencies that have gone so far as to deny Timothy Porteous, the coun- cil’s chief officer, the same salary increase allowed all other public servants in his administrative category.As the end of the year approached, the government agencies were still trying to figure out how they could trim their programs with the least harm done to their objectives.The arts centre said it might simply close for a month next summer, a period when it normally produces special programs for Ottawa’s tourist traffic.Some non government organizations, which at best barely get by on box-office receipts and grants from federal, provincial and municipal treasuries, are already in deep difficulty.The Stratford Festival, the flagship of Canadian theatres with a world reputation to uphold, has had successive deficits approaching $2.5 million after two years of box-office famine.Others, however, have enjoyed success.The Canadian Opera Company in 1984 chalked up its best season ever, and the Shaw Festival bubbles along with good humor.Prime Minister Mulroney has put the arts and entertainment field generally under the guidance of Marcel Masse as the new minister of communications Making own album is best bet The stamp album is perhaps the most important item in the pursuit of philately.It is the means of keeping your collection in the neatest, most orderly and safest manner possible.It is also your showcase.So, what do you do?Buy an album or albums, that you must adjust to?Or, do you make one that is suitable to your requirements?In case you are not aware, a good album (and if you are going to specialize you need a good album), sells for between one hundred and twenty five and two hundred dollars.Then of course, there are the annual supplements.They might run as much as three or four dollars per sheet.And, what do you do about the varieties such as tagged varieties, tagged errors, shades and papers?These are not always provided for.Can you imagine the cost in collecting three or four countries?You end up with albums valued higher than your stamps.There are much less expensive albums on the market.In the case of world albums, they are illustrated on both sides of the page.Sets are not complete and, you are able to crowd so many on a page, that you end up with a lot of damaged goods.I'm sure you want more than just matching stamps to illustrations.To avoid the high expense, and yet to have something that suits your needs, you should make your own album.Above all else, you add dimension to your hobby.It teaches you patience and neatness.Should you at any time wish to show your collection at exhibitions, your work is done.Okay, if you’re still interested, here is a listing of the materials needed.A decent three ring binder, Graph paper.I lean to the Hilroy graph paper.It’s available in either green or yellow.In any case, your stationery store will have a good selection to choose from.Next you need an extra fine pen.If you are a good printer, you might want to try a calliography set.A ruler, preferably in centimeters, stamp mounts, not hinges, clear or dark background, brand name of your choice.Last but not least, you’ll need a catalogue.Before you start the actual X Stamp corner By Peter McCarthy layout, you will need to study your catalogue.Read over the entire introductory portion and study the country that you want to start on first.Remember, take your time and do a good job.By reading your catalogue, you have no doubt noticed that stamps are generally grouped by series in the case of definitives, or, by year, as with commémoratives.We’ll take The Queen Elizabeth II, 1954-1961 definitive issue as a layout example.There is room on the page for a single of each of the one to six cent plus the fifteen cent gannet, which is part of the set.There is also room for a single copy and a pair of each of the coils.Once you have the stamps spaciously laid out and centered, take a strip of mount and, cut it in half lengthways.Now you have two strips.Cut to the width of the stamp.Moisten and put into place.Remember to leave room for the heading.Now put in your page heading.It should consist of the issue, date of issue and the perforation.In this case it would read perf.12.Under the regular issue, you should note the fact that the remainder of the stamps are coils.The perforation should also be shown.Under each stamp, a line is drawn the width of the stamp.In this space, the denomination and colour may be noted.Tagged stamps of this issue, should be alone on a separate page.Plate blocks, booklet panes and first day covers should be in a separate album.Commémoratives may be dealt with in the same manner except, under each stamp, the subject commemorated should be noted.Also the date of issue should be noted above.However you do it, remember, don’t crowd your stamps.All this may sound very complicated to you but, believe me, it’s not.In order to show you just how easy it all is, send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I’ll send a sample sheet of a layout.How’s that.Here is the address P.O.Box 688, Richmond, Que.JOB 2H0.As promised in a previous column, here is Canada Post’s stamp program for 1985.A commemorative stamp featuring WORLD YOUTH will be issued February 8.Therese Cas-grain will be honored by a commemorative stamp on March 8.The 100th anniversary of the Northwest Rebellion will be commemorated by a stamp featuring Gabriel Dumont, on May 6th.On June 21st, a two dollar stamp featuring Banff National Park, will be issued to mark the 100th anniversary of Canada’s national parks.On June 28th, to mark Canada Day, ten stamps in a booklet, featuring a second series of Canadian forts will be issued.On August 1st, a stamp on the subject of ADDICTION will be issued to mark the 34th international congress on Alcoholism and Drug Dependancy.September 4th, a stamp featuring GIRL GUIDES will be issued to mark the 75th anniversary of Guiding in Canada.September 12th will feature a second set of Canadian Locomotives.A second set of Canadian Lighthouses will be issued on October 3rd.Three Christmas stamps will be issued on October 24th.The 75th anniversary of “THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY” will be commemorated on November 8th.Finally, Expo 86 to be held in Vancouver, will be featured on a stamp to be issued on November 22nd.There’s no doubt that Canada Post could possibly slip in one or two extra issues during the year.You’ll note there are no denominations shown, except for the two dollar Banff National Park.I’m sure you know what that means.A hike in the postal rate is quite probable early in the new year.That in itself will mean three new definitive stamps.I’ll do my best to keep you informed of all new issues.A very Happy New Year to all.Crois iR armi tes A

do landscapes, but she doesn't.Established artists have established styles and mediums.Sorge tries anything.Artists are usually apolitical, yet Sorge is a committed apostle of change, quietly provocative wherever she goes.An artist for nearly 20 years now, Sorge claims she still feels “very young” in her work, as if she’s just approaching a major change of a sort she can’t quite describe — a sort of coming-of-age.“I never drew at all as a kid,” Sorge says.“I did sculpture, with mud and with things I found, but I never thought of it as sculpture, or as art of any kind.I didn’t really start thinking about art until I got through college.” To that point, Sorge was a natural scientist, an interest she retains — her studio includes all sorts of specimens gathered on walks through the woods, from dried plant seed pods to the jawbones of muskrats.She graduated from Acadia University in 1966 with degrees in biology and psychology.She worked toward her teaching certificate at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, 1968-1969.The late sixties were a time of reappraisal and change for Sorge, as for many others.Discovering her creative potential, she “began taking one art course a year,” she explains, “studying different things." First drawing.Then art techniques, all the while exploring further on her own.Sorge became a successful painter, but “I’ve never taken a course in painting,” she admits.“At this point, I think it might even inhibit me.I’ve had enough difficulty getting away from drawing.When you can draw, and learn to draw, you tend to draw everything, which limits what you can do with a different medium,” such as paint.“Right now I’m studying lithography,” she continues.“I think this might be just the thing for me, because it allows me to combine my drawing with color.I’m painting directly on aluminum,” she explains, “which substitutes for the lithographer’s stone.” Early results are quite promising, for instance a close-up of a pot on a campfire, surrounded by a few people and, farther off, vague outlines of coyotes or wildcats.As always with Sorge’s work, meanings are ambiguous.The pot squats like an obese idol.The people could be worshippers.The animals could represent Nature, biding her time until this, too, passes.Sorge frequently uses religious imagery, but denies piety.Her own religious beliefs are non-doctrinal, and her ‘religious’ paintings aren’t at all the sort Quebec is known for.She frequently depicts crucified women.One is a fire-colored pregnant redeemer, seeming much stronger than her surroundings and the flaming women in the background Without going into detail, Sorge acknowledges associating this work with Hiroshima, "with the whole theme of suffering of the innocent, of women and children being used as tools for men’s assertions of power." This painting hasn’t yet been exhibited, but two of Sorge’s other female crucifixions have, and have aroused considerable controversy among viewers.Some gallery owners flatly don’t want them displayed on their premises.Others inquire about their sale price.For the time being, however, Sorge says, “Don’t even ask.” They’re really not for sale, just yet.Both are four-foot-high black-and-white drawings.The first depicts an emaciated figure on a cross who could be of either sex, flanked by fetuses curling in wombs.In he second, the crucified figure is a woman, her womb torn open and left empty.Each drawing calls to mind the feminist battle-cry that if men could become pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.They suggest that the million-plus abortions performed each year in North America are our society’s form of sacrifice to Moloch.Mother of three children herself, Sorge frequently celebrates fertility and motherhood, again without piety.An unfinished wallsized canvas shows numerous women, some resembling herself, caring for babies, toddlers, and a dying man.A crucified man appears in the background.All appear ‘ethnic’ — Indians, Africans, Asians — except for one apparently dead and barren white woman lying in the immediate foreground.Paintings and drawings like these invite frequent comparisons to Judy Chicago, probably the best known of all feminist artists.Without knocking Chicago, Sorge dislikes the comparison.Some of their works do superficially resemble one another, but Sorge is coming from another direction entirely.Background is important.Born in Truro, Nova Scotia, Sorge is of Syrian ancestry and was bapti- Bemice Sorge.There is much more power in the abstract image than in camera-realism.zed Greek Orthodox.Her father died four months before she was born.Thus she grew up with three other children in a matriarchal household having much more in common with Third World or Indian cultures than the Canadian norm.“We ate funny things like yogurt, lentil soup, and Bulgar wheat,” she laughs, “so the other kids called us ‘Black Jews’.” This led Sorge to an early appreciation of Jews as fellow Semites, an appreciation long lacking among both Syrians and Israelis in the Middle East.Being called a ‘Black Jew’ also started Sorge toward recognition of a common relationship among women of all tribal cultures, a relationship her art now emphasizes.Sorge gleefully describes visiting Latin America and passing as a native.She simultaneous suffered loss of status through loss of identity as a visitor, and a gain in recognition from other women on the street, who accepted her presence without question or criticism.Therefore, while Judy Chicago creates from a militant, estranged, Middle American perspective, Sorge retains a Third World outlook.While Chicago rages for complete sexual equality, Sorge seems to acknowledge natural role divisions — while arguing that male and female roles should complement, not clash as men assert dominance to conceal their own weaknesses.Instead of getting mad at men and admitting only women to her shows, as Chicago has occasionally done, Sorge challenges men with her perceptions.Chicago portrays woman-as-victim; Sorge portrays woman-as-saviour, enduring oppression to somehow redeem the world, or at least protect the infant in her arms.Chicago is so afraid her work might be misunderstood that she often displays each painting or sculpture alongside several typewritten pages of explanation.Sorge has recently leaned in that direction, with a series of imagis-tic, formless poems mounted on glass in front of her drawings.“I do write quite a lot,” she says, “especially about my work.” At the same time, Sorge consciously aims at ambiguity.She’d rather provoke thought, she says, whe- rever it might lead, than lecture.Among Sorge’s artistic influences are the Mexican mura-list Diego Rivera, the French painter and illustrator Georges Roualt, and the French painter Paul Gauguin.Her special favorite, however, is the little-known Kathe Kollwitz, a German socialist sculptor and illustrator whose career spanned the same era.Born in 1867, Kollwitz protested the slaughter of World War I, and was persecuted by Hitler throughout her later years, for her allegedly decadant abstractions and “unpatriotic’ dedication to peace.She lived just long enough (May, 1945) to see all Hitler’s own ‘realistic’, warlike constructs bombed into surrealistic rubble.“I never used to appreciate abstraction,” Sorge claims.Today, she recognizes abstraction as a means of bypassing intellectual defenses and grabbing viewers by their strongest emotions.“I don’t expect I’ll ever be completely abstract,” she says, “but there is much more power in the abstract image than in camera-realism” — the power of selected emphasis and deliberate distortion to make a point.Like Kollwitz, Sorge echoes the motto, “Never Again War!” She believes visual representation has the most power to inspire basic change in how we see one another, and that this in turn is what must be done to constructively change the world.À WOELD beyond /YOJJjfEXPERIENCE, BEYOND SOUR IMAGINATION.It is a

Second Marriage by Frederick Barthelme (SIMON & SCHUSTER-GENERAL): $23.95, 217 pp.With a mere two books to his credit — Moon Deluxe, a story collection heralded as a brilliant debut, and this short novel, Second Marriage — Frederick Barthelme joins Raymond Carver, Tom Robbins and Thomas McGuane in the ranks of American writers whose work jolts the reader with its brilliance.Very much a Southern writer, Barthelme was born in Texas and lives in Mississippi, bringing to his fiction a remarkable, off-the-wall way of observing everyday life that glamorizes the mundane and brings the larger-than-life down to ordinary size.Barthelme gets tremendous mileage out of a very simple plot.For many writers the sparse storyline of a man who is fighting to save his second marriage would seem to be a dead-end, but he is able to wrest such comedy and rich characterization out of the uneventful that the reader forgets about the story’s direction.In Second Marriage the wryly observed details of normal living give the book a depth and a patina that make a trip to a fast food joint an adventure in urban living to be remembered.At one point in the noval, the narrator, Henry, is driving with his landlord Dewey Nassar, who blasts his horn a few times at a rather fat, helmeted girl on a motorbike.After the girl shoots them he finger for their beeping at her, and Nassar responds by yelling, “Why don’t you pick on something your own size," the si- dewalk drama comes to an abrupt climax when the rotund cyclist cooly unzips her jacket, pulls out a pistol and blows a hole in their car’s front tire.To say that this incident is not entirely unusual in Barthelme’s novel is to give some small idea of the book’s texture.Henry has just moved into a house with Theo, the woman who represents the second marriage of the book's title.Theo’s thirteen-year-old daughter Rachel is living with them, and this cozy arrangement gets forced a bit when Henry’s first wife, Clare, experiences marital difficulty and moves in as well.Henry is then forced to take an apartment at eccentric Dewey Nassar’s apartment building — an amateur Disneyland with a courtyard of odd artifacts and incongruent decor — when Theo and Clare undertake an experiment to live together without Henry.Most of Second Marriage details the subsequent estrangement of Henry and the gallery of quirky folk that he encounters.There is Rachel’s very sensual 20-year-old friend Kelsey who follows them home one day ; Nassar’s wife Mariana, and her voluptuous younger sister Winnifred; and Henry’s first wife’s husband, the hostile, explosive Joel.As odd as this menage sounds, Barthelme’s book is far more no- table due to its writer’s ability to transcribe the minutiae of everyday living than it is for any analysis of modern marital practices.Barthelme’s strengths as a novelist are his ear for dialogue that is so accurate that the reader can’t wait to hear the speaking style of each new character introduced; his absolute understanding and control of the interpersonal relationships between his memorable characters ; and his portrayal of these very up-to-date, contemporary eighties people that move from 7-Eleven stores to College campuses to Burger King counters with an ease of movement that characterizes their mode of living in intriguing ways.Second Marriage is a book that should be read by anyone interested in learning the answer to the old question, “Where are all the new, young writers coming from?” BREWING UP WITH BILLY BRAGG RECORD REVIEWS: Brewing up with Billy Bragg (GO! DISCS - POLYGRAM) Billy Bragg is a one-guitar cockney wonder from East London whose act is so out of step with contemporary rock that it just may catch the public’s fancy for novelty.Appearing on stage with one electric guitar and a small amplifier in the days when bands seem to be judged on the strength of their arsenal of roadies and visual effects men, Billy Bragg’s is a spare, thin-sounding act.But where Bragg makes up the difference is with his repertoire of short, pithy songs that make Dylan’s tendency toward social satire seem like mild approval in comparison.Bragg sings out in a broad cockney accent about all manner of social abuses and with a great deal of sharp sit, interrupting the pattern with some fine old Chuck Berry style guitar riffs.Just in case the skeptics doubted the sincerity of this solo performer’s dedication to his craft, Bragg recently had this to say to critics: “If playing solo was just a gimmick, then after selling 50,000 copies of “Life’s A Riot” I’d have moved straight over to making mega-produced singles, gone out and bought a Hepworth’s suit and come back on the next album with the London Symphony Orchestra”.Billy Bragg is definitely one of a kind.» r THE DREAMS OF CHILDREN SHADOWFAX Shadowfax Dreams of Children (WINDHAM HILL—A&M) This record won’t show up on any year end list of the biggest sellers of 1984, nor will the name Shadowfax be heard on the lips of metallurgists or video addicts.There are, however, a few British artists doing the same kind of music — Mike Oldfield is the one who appears to be the most kindred spirit to Shadowfax.A six-man ensemble of guitars, flutes, saxes, bass, percussion, violins, and keyboards, Shadowfax plays a pastiche of jazz-sounding forms, with touches of folk and rock thrown in on this soothing, mellowing album of original material.Various Artists EVERY MAN HAS A WOMAN (POLYDOR-POLYGRAM) John started it! It seems Lennon had once confided to Yoke Ono that the only thing wrong with her musical compositions was that she used her own laughable, Mickey Mouse voice on the finished recordings.So here we have an even dozen Ono songs interpreted by a variety of players, and produced by some very professional artists.Produ- cers such as Allen Toussaint, Harry Nilsson, Lennon, Eddie Money, and Rodney Crowell get to shape the edges of Yoko’s songs and amazing as it will seem to some, several of these tracks have made it onto video versions.Of course “Now Or Never", with its direct lyric about the ills of the world has none of the power or haunting melodic appeal of Yo-ko’s hubby’s “Imagine”, but a couple of the songs here make it beyond mediocre.Harry Nilsson’s interpretatins of “Dream Love”, and “Loneliness” are not bad at all.Ditto “Walking On Thin Ice”, the tune that the witty Beatle Lennon was working on the night he was assassinated, December 8, 1980 — this one is sung by Elvis Costello, verifying the idea that many of Yoko’s compositions were before their time.This album does one of two things — it proves that cynics were wrong about Yoko’s “talent”; or else it is the musical equivalent of the old yarn about the roomful of monkeys with IB M typewriters, where, given time enough, one of them will type Hamlet.Every manhas A W0|V|AN c b * I fc I I e top r t * T«l» • e A S M • TOWNSHIPS WEEK-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1984—5 Why do people who play games make so much loot?Several things have been puzzling me lately.As a matter of fact, they have not only been puzzling me but they are down right irritating.For example: • Why is it that in reports of Robert Doyle’s promotion to Majority Leader in the U S.Senate, he was referred to as “Wounded World War II veteran, Robert Doyle.”?Is this a qualification for the job?Does it mean he’s still in ill health?Does it mean that non-veterans don’t qualify?• And why is it that men and women who make their living playing games invariably make more money than the leaders of the country?Maybe it tells us something about our sense of values when “Super Brat” John ‘Mindless’ McEnroe can walk away a millionaire for hitting a fuzzy, yellow ball over a net and insulting anybody stupid enough to watch, while at the same time anyone wanting to be a politician has to be rich in the first place.• Another thing.Why is everyone supposed to be impressed when we are told boxer Shawn O’Sullivan sacrificed ten years of his life to get where he is?Don’t plumbers, teachers, doctors and even journalists “sacrifice” ten or more years of their lives getting where they are.God knows, I’ve spent at least that much getting here.• Also amazing is the fact that North Americans — particularly those living to our immediate south (no, not Rock Island) — are all quite willing to consult an expert in one field as if he or she ws therefore an expert in all fields.How many times have you seen Barbara Walters or some other interviewer ask an actor how he feels about the Mideast?Or perhaps ask a successful playwrite what he thinks about the American economy.I can see it now.“Well Mr.Sting, how do you feel we can best combat stagflation?” Isn’t it just a tad ridiculous to imagine that because O.J.Simpson could outrun everyone in the NFL that he’s competent to explain how?• By the way.Why is the most popular section of The Record — next to this column of course — the News in Brief section where the longest sustained thought is three paragraphs?Even your average member of Parliament can hold an idea longer than that.• Why is it that all political parties promise everything to everyone during election campaign and then when they are elected ignore their promises?And better still, why do we vote for them?• This one comes from Michael McDevitt.Why is it that we always find whatever we are looking for in the last place that we look?(You’ll have to forgive him folks.He didn’t have a very happy childhood — mind you it’s been a long one.) • And the question of the month.How is it that three “dangerous” criminals—supposedly locked in separate cells— managed to get out of their cells, obtain 46 bed sheets and a saw, cut their way through three sets of bars, and then drop eleven stories to the ground to make their getaway?Now, I wouldn’t want to suggest that security might be a little at fault here, but I haven’t heard anything quite so Who’s who By TADEUSZ LETARTE ridiculous since the time Lucien Rivard went out to flood the ice rink at Archambault-St.Vincent de Paul during the chinook season and took a powder.• What, pray tell, is the “calm, unhurried patience” Mol-son’s is using to brew Brader?Is it the opposite to “frantic, racing patience”?Or perhaps it’s the other side of “irritating, fidgeting patience”?I’m not too sure, but this comes from the same group who has the nerve to call their Canadian-bottled excuse for a German beer Lowenbrau.• Why is it that whenever there is a bin of shirts on sale at Au Bon Marché and you’re a large, they’re always smalls?And how come nobody in Canada appears to have anything les than a 36-inch leg anymore?• Do you also wonder why the only way to obtain service in a store anymore is to look like you’re a shoplifter?It’s amazing how quickly you receive help if you wander around with a big handbag and cast firtive glances over your shoulder every five to ten seconds.I’ve even taken to dropping out of sight behind a clothing rack every once in a while.Take it from me, it brings the sales staff running.• And finally, why is it that the Regressive Preservatives can manage to increase the personal staff of members of Parliament and cabinet ministers while at the same time decimating probably the best news service in the province?By firing five out of nine reporters from the Newswatch program, Montreal now has a smaller news staff than Toronto, Vancouver or — good God in heaven ! — Winnipeg.••• Perhaps the city of Sherbrooke could pick up on this one-.Thad Reynolds did his job too well.Reynolds, a bylaw enforcement officer in Loughborough Township near Kingston, Ont., issued 40 tickets for illegal parking in seven days, including one to an Ontario Provincial Police officer.For his work, the township council fired him.Council had hired Reynolds in November to strictly enforce new parking regulations, particularly in the downtown section of Sydenham, a township community.But merchants attended a meeting last week and complained their business had dropped by one-third since Reynolds was hired.“Council and the township staff couldn’t hack it any more — the protests, the phone calls,” said reeve Rein Vandewal.“They ordered the bylaw officer taken off." Reynolds is still the township’s dog control officer.• Miss Canada loves a parade.Karen Tilley, 21, of Calgary, says her favorite duty so far in her two-month reign has been riding in Santa Claus parades in small Ontario towns."I love the parades,” says Tilley, adding that as a youngster she was always a fan of such pageantry because of “the excitement — they get your adrenilen up.” As a professional beauty queen, it’s still the children in the street at a parade that make her days, she says.But Tilley, a university student, said being Miss Canada is “not just fun and goodies.It really is hard work.” Myself, I haven't seen a good parade since the Champs Élysée Walkathon back in '44.• Mass breakdancing will be banned in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta if it leads to breaches of the peace, says city garrison commander Try Sutrisno.The warnings came after a disturbance at a city amusement park last week when security officers fired tear gas to break up an unruly crowd at a breakdancing contest.Try said there is nothing wrong with breakdancing in itself but it would be prohibited if it causes more trouble.How ya gonna keep ’em down in the jungle after they’ve seen Philadelphia?From the Renée Richards School of Strange Happenings comes the following news item : KINSHASA (Reuter) — An 18-year-old Zairean “boy" has given birth to a bouncing baby boy after being admitted to hospital with suspected stomach problems, the daily Salongo said Tuesday.It said two doctors examined the patient at Kikwit, 620 kilometres northeast of here, and found “him" to be over seven months pregnant with female genitals despite a masculine appearance.The baby boy, which weighed 4.4 pounds, was delivered by caesarian section.He is in good health but his mother has problems feeding him milk, Salongo said.Wait until she tries teaching him about the birds and the bees! • Toledo, Ohio typewriter repairman Adolph Hanke assu-medDennis David was joking when David brought in a typewriter to have a snake removed — until Hanke found himself looking at a three-foot boa constrictor.“I put the cover down in a hurry,” said Hanke, who charged David $39.75 for removal of the reptile, which actually was accomplished Thursday by the Humane Society.The society plans to give the boa to the Toledo Zoo.“Snakes are worthless,” said David, who had spent $275 for the snake and a 30-gallon tank two weeks ago.Two days later, the snake escaped and Davis figured his apartment was so cluttered he never would find it.He eventually noticed it in the typewriter and tried to pull it out.“But I must confess, I’m a little squeamish about snakes,” he said, so he left it coiled in the machine for 10 days.Finally he took the typewriter, snake included, to Hanke, and left suspecting that the repair shop’s operators thought him a prankster — which they did.“How many people ask us to repair a typewriter with a snake in it?” said Betty Clay, Hanke’s daughter.“Roaches, yes, and everything else.But snakes?” Oh, Charlie, would you please have a look at my word processor before I write my next column?Please, Charlie, I’ll never make fun of you again.Honest.Oh, please.?YOUR

MONTREAL: (514) 455-4504 6-TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1984 WHAT’S ON Music Howdy.Just when you thought you’d recovered from the Christmas holiday you end up discovering that it was just a dress rehearsal for the big one coming up this week — the ushering in of the new annum.Things get going early this weekend too with lots of good sounds coming from all over the place.It’s an exceptionally good weekend for those of us who are relics of the early 70s with a lot of familiar faces playing the local scene.At Cal’s FL Hideaway in Lennoxville, prodigal bluesman Brian Monty has gathered together a rather formidable group of musicians that is guaranteed to bring out some really fine sounds.Monty, let out of Ontario under mandatory supervision for the holiday, is being joined by Butch Coulter on the harmonica, Brian Herring on that incredibly heavy, but beautiful Hammond organ, the legendary Stephen Barry on bass guitar, Steve Hoyt on the drum kit, François Gaudette on the horn and Curt Smith on guitar.Monty and company have been missed since Monty hightailed it off to the bright lights of Toronno, but I knew he’d be back as soon as they cancelled Happy Hour.Playing under the mysterious monnicker Trouble No More, the boys’ll be dishing out some jazz-blues tonight and Saturday beginning at approximately 9:30 p.m.There is a slight cover charge of $3, but it’ll be well worth it.Another hometown old boy we don’t see often enough is Mick Hail, but he’s doing his best to remedy that and is back for another Friday and Saturday gig at Jim’s Place in Burroughs Falls.Mick is being joined by young Jeff Coates on guitar and vocals, the young-at-heart Jim Buck on bass and vocals, and the obsolete Chris ‘crankshaft’ Griffith hammering away at the drums and scotch.This is rock and roll with the accent on the rock with a little hint of country just to set the mood.Contemporary country and western sets the pace at the Motel Bretagne down on Route 143 near Waterville as Weekend Express takes the stage Friday and Saturday evenings.Michelle O’Neill, Michel Fortier, Denis ‘the groom' Lajoie and François Bergeron team up to provide some of the pleasantest country sounds around.On Saturday at the Manoir Waterville it’s the powerful country sounds of Big Foot newly augmented by the return of Louis Levesque.At the Shady Crest in Ayer’s Cliff this weekend White Liner leads the way with more of their country sounds.Moonshine is still at the The Maples down in Stanstead tonight and tomorrow.In South Stukely at Station 88, the popular Syndicate Revival keeps them moving Fridays and Saturdays.NEW YEAR’S EVE BASH DEPARTMENT: Being the incredibly helpful and easy-to-get-along-with charmner that he is, Mikey has got together as comprehensive a list as possible of the various bacchanalian endeavors dedicated to the arrival of 1985 being staged in the immediate area’s libation stations.So here goes.The FL Hideawy after its brief retreat into rock and jazz on the weekend is greeting 1985 with the incomparable Terry Wheeler — the ghost of Elvis past.Wheeler puts on a high-powered old-fashioned rock and roll extravaganza reminiscent of the old Colonel Tom era.Wheeler has been providing his rockabilly action for a good many years now and is a well-known figure on the local entertainment scene.The Motel Bretagne is planning a wild one with Weekend Express providing the music and host Gord McDonald providing the action to ring in the new year.This party features a buffet, noisemakers, hats, balloons (if you can’t blow them up here, you'll never be able to do it for the po-lice) and a general good time for the $10 ticket price.Ask for a Shiverin ' Bastard and then duck.The Manoir Waterville is planning a super-party for new Year’s with Big Foot providing the inspiration.Tickets are $24 a couple and can be reserved by calling Ken at 562-5018 or Dan at 837-2318.In Bury, the Salle Jean Paul has Dick Curless, Terry Sutton and Friends Limited lined up for their big party and included in the $12.50 admission price are party hats, noisemakers and a midnight dinner for ballast.Tickets for this one are available at the bar or at Lennoxville’s The Addition In Burroughs Falls, Jim's Place is featuring Full Moon, featuring Bob Drew for their party and a $10 ticket buys a buffet, party hats and noisemakers.Tickets should be reserved by calling 838-4834.At the Shady Crest in Ayer’s Cliff, White Liner provides the music while a $20-a-couple admission fee entitles you to a hot and cold buffet, door prizes and lots of other goodies.Tickets are available by reservation only at 838-9916.Out in Ascot Corner the Salle O Grand R has pulled out all the stops and has a party for just about everybody over the age of consent.In their upstairs bar they have music by Selection and Flash, two highly versatile dance bands that will get your feet to stomping.Included in the $10 ticket price are a complimentary cocktail, party hats, noisemakers and a buffet as well as the music.Downstairs, the à: l-JHPwWHi By MICHAEL McDEVITT music is provided by Melodies D’Or for the more mature crowd and $3 gets you in the door and a free party hat.Finally, out in Foster, The Foster Hotel is having a special New Year’s do with Jimmy and his Sunset Boys providing the fine country and western entertainment.Believe it or not, there’s no admission price for this one — just bring yoursëlves.Brian Monty will be on stage with his jazz-blues band TROUBLE NO MORE this Friday and Saturday at the FL Hideaway in Lennoxville.Exhibitions Once again things are a little slow in this department as the festive season tends to slow things down a mite, but there is one new show opening at the Caisse Populaire de Sherbrooke-est on Monday, December 31.Paul-Emile and René Guillemette are father and son and both seem to have benefitted from the same artistic genes.This show is a joint offering of their work and it should be fuh.Father Paul-Emile has been painting since 1951 and, although he started just to pass the time, he quickly realized his potential as did those around him.His paintings won him a 2nd prize at the Sherbrooke Exposition in 1964 and he has since shown throughout the Townships and in Quebec City.Recently, Paul-Emile Guillemette branched out and has begun spending more time sculpting in wood.His son René has followed in his father's footsteps and has also exhibited frequently in the area.The show runs through January 25.Just one more weekend at Arts Sutton’s annual Christmas Show and this provides an excellent opportunity to pick up some real bargains in fine craftsmanship.The many fine artists and artisans from the Sutton area, whose efforts have been responsible for Arts Sutton’s wonderful success over the years, have assembled their usual wide variety of goods and if one can believe art critic, baseball historian, road runner and award-winning environmentalist (congrats on that one, Merritt) Jackass Clifton, this year’s show is one of the very best ever.The show runs through until Sunday and then she’s gone.Hours are from 11 a m until 5 p.m.The Eastern Townships Historical Society has something of rare appeal to those of us who are fascinated by local history and/or fine old books in the form of an exhibition called Words and Images—The John Hayes Collection which definitely deserves some attention although you’ll have to wait for the holidays to finish before taking advantage of it if you haven’t already.John Hayes was a medical doctor and Richmond politician (six times mayor) whose wide range of interests are well represented in his rather extensive book collection which has been thoughtfully donated to the ETHS (he was a founder) by his heirs.The exhibit is being held at the Society’s headquarters in Pavillion 3 at Domaine Howard here in Sherbrooke and will re-appear after the holidays from January 7 until the 18th.It will be open from Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m.until noon and from 1:30 p.m.until 5.Admission is free.Artist Marcel Gagnon has his work on display at the Carrefour de l’Estrie branch of the Sherbrooke Trust.It’s part of the Collection en Art du Sherbooke Trust series.Well-known artist Camille Racicot has his most recent oils and watercolors, as well as several sculptures, on display at 86 Wellington north.That is the home of the Association Estrie-France et francophonie internationale, of which Racicot is on the board of directors.Racicot is an award-winning artist who has done a lot of big works, such as a 27’ by 7’ mural at the Bombardier Museum in Montreal.Lately he has been sculpting in soapstone.And I’m sorry to say folks, but that’s all she wrote for this week — the barrel’s empty.Movies Once again its Dune at the Cinéma Capitol in Sherbrooke and at the Cinéma Princesse in Cowansville for yet a third week, but that really shouldn’t surprise me.While it lacks a little cohesiveness in the story line and should garner no Academy Awards for its actors, this adaptation of the Frank Herbert sci-fi-quasi-religious myth is a wonderful piece of visual dexterity and is a joy to watch.Mikey can’t understand how anybody who hasn’t read the books can make any sense out of the film, but the people I’ve talked to who have not read the books and have seen the movie still said they enjoyed it thoroughly, so.Same story down at the Cinémas Carrefour, where Eddy Murphy is the Beverly Hills Cop, and this looks like it’s going to be the box office winner for this year’s crop of Christmas season movie releases.You can’t hold it against Murphy.The kid has a genius for comedy and a shrewdness for picking up scripts that let him show it off.A very funny movie.This season’s other major science fiction effort 2010 — The Year We Make Contact, the sequal to the legendary 2001 — A Space Odyssey, begins down at the Merrill’s Showcase Cinemas this week.Now, the critics have tended to be a little harsh on this one, and that is to be expected when you consider the footstep in which it follows.Roy Scheider heads the cast and we can expect more Arthur C.Clarke mysticism in this story which is supposed to fill us in on all the unanswered questions we have from 2001.How wrong can it go?Also at Merrill’s is City Heat, the Burt Reynolds — Clint Eastwood mixture that is bound to be a winner with the millions of fans these two always seem to attract.The boys are poking fun at each other and themselves in this one, but why not, it’ll probably add several more zeroes to already bulging bank accounts.The third film at Merrill's is Protocol, the Goldie Hawn vehicle in which the little blonde plays something different for a change — a kind-hearted dizzy blond.In this story Hawn manages to save a diplomat’s life and get herself appointed as a protocol officer in Washington D C.Naturally, her naive and unassuming innocence reveal, after much misadventure, a wisdom far beyond modern-day sophistication and cynicism.Predictable but cute —just like Mikey. TOWNSHIPS WEEK-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1984-7 WHAT’S ON Television Well we can’t say they aren’t giving us a choice tonight.At 8 p.m.on CTV, Robert Altman brings the adventures of one of America's most enduring comic strip characters to the screen in Popeye starring the incomparable Robin Williams as the spinach-gulping sailor and Shelley Duvall as his long-suffering and insufferable girlfriend Olive Oyle.At 9 - in contrast — Vermont ETV kicks off what promises to be a year long celebration of the tricentennial of J.S.Bach with a performance of The Christmas Oratorio by Vienna’s Concertus Musicus under the direction of Nicholas Harnoncourt.There's something for just about every taste on tomorrow as well, beginning at 8 on Channel 12 with Special People, a made-for-television movie about a young woman whose faith in the abilities of mentally handicapped young people leads to the creation of a professional theatre company that has performed world-wide to enthralled audiences.Brooke Adams stars.At 9, Vermont ETV offers a Jimmy Stewart double-header beginning with Bell, Book and Candle, a wild yarn about a witch priestess who charms a soon-to-be-married publisher.This is followed by one of Stewart’s best-known films —Mr.Smith Goes to Washington about an idealistic young man who risks everything in his fight against political cynicism and corruption.And at midnight, one for Mikey with George Burns and Brooke ’throb!’ Shields in Just You and Me Kid.This is no classic, but what the heck.Just making the film probably added another ten years to the old coot’s life expectancy.Burns plays an old man who teams up with a runanway kid to discover love and companionship.On Sunday at 8, CBC presents lolanthe, filmed this past summer at the Stratford Festival starring the one and only Maureen Forrester.If you enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan land who doesn’t?) this is your chance to see a masterpiece performed by a first-rate comapny in a first-rate production.This is an awful lot of fun, this show, so don’t miss it.Unless of course you want to watch another piece of great fun which is exactly what CTV is showing at 9 with Victor/Victoria.This crazy Blake Edwards flick has Julie Andrews cast as a struggling singer who gains instant succès when she poses as a man who poses as a woman.Basically a Tootsie in reverse.James Garner and Robert Preston chip in to make this a wonderfully entertaining movie.On Monday, ballroom dance fans get a treat on Vermont ETV at 11 with Top Hat featuring the dazzling footwork of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.The story is inconsequential, but the dance routines combined with Irving Berlin’s music make for a real winner.On Tuesday at 8 on CBC, we get a look at a very unusual offshoot of the past year’s Papal Visit in Act of God.While the Pope was scooting around Canada last summer thousands of Dene Nation representatives did everything they could to make it to Fort Simpson, where the pontiff was scheduled to meet with them in what was expected to be one of the most significant of his stops.Nature stepped in, however and weather conditions made it impossible for the Pope to keep his appointment.The aftermath of this stunning disappointment is a telling example of the strength of the faith of these people, some of whom spent their life savings on the journey.At 11, Vermont ETV presents a real gangster classic with High Sierra starring Humphrey Bogart as Mad Dog Earle, the killer with the gentle heart underneath all his gruff talk.Ida Lupino adds much to this 1941 classic.On Wednesday at 8, CBC begins its three-night presentation of The Tin Flute adapted from the best-selling novel by Gabrielle Roy.Set in Montreal in the early years of WW II, the story focusses on the life of the Laçasse family, a working class unit desperate to better itself.The film continues through Thursday and Friday evenings.A very special Canadian-content event.On

Metropolitan opera presentation.At midnight, Vermont ETV presents one of the great romantic films of all times It Happened One Night about an individualistic reporter and a confused young runaway heiress who fall in love on a long-distance bus ride.Errol Flynn and Claudette Colbert star in this history-making gem.Night owls can enjoy the irresistible combination of Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in Seems Like Old Times about a good-hearted young lawyer whose ex-husband constantly complicates her otherwise calm, orderly, uneventful life.This one hits the screen at 2 a.m.on Channel 12.Radio Tonight on CBC Stereo’s Arts National's Friday Night beginning at 6:30, Ian Alexander enjoys a conversation with one of the living legends of the jazz world Ella Fitzgerald.Fitzgerald began her amazing career by winning a talent contest at the historic Apollo Theatre in Harlem way back in 1934 and she never looked back.Her renditions of classic Gershwin, Porter and Berlin tunes contributed greatly to their entering into the halls of immortality and she has been a witness to the growth and development of modern music with a vantage point like no other.Fitzgerald shares memories and insights as well as her beautiful voice.At 9:45 Bob Bossin hosts the delightfully titled Canadian Folk Songs From Around Here, a five-part look into our homespun native sounds.Tonight, the

on John Lennon enters its final phase tonight with the approach of the fateful year 1980, when Lennon re-emerged from his self-imposed seclusion to take the world once again by storm with an album called Double Fantasy.We also get the dubious distinction of hearing from Yoko.On Saturday at 2 on both CBC Radio and CBC Stereo, Metropolitan Opera features Simon Boccanegra by Verdi.A conflict between the plebian and the patrician elements in 14th century Genoa is resolved by the discovery of somebody’s long-lost daughter.James Levine conducts.On The Ocean Limited on CBC Radio at 7:05, one of the Maritimes’ hottest Rhythm and Blues bands is featured in concert.Heartbeats, led by Paul Smeets and Mark MacMillan have been taking the swampers by storm of late, and this concert gives us all a chance to find out why.The Maritimes is one of those areas in Canada where hard-nosed R and B still enjoys enthusiastic success and if you’re big down there, you have to be deservin’.On Sunday at 4:05 on CBC Radio Sunday Matinée presents The Christmas Adventures of John Nicholson by Robert Louis Stevenson.John Nicholson leaves his native Scotland to see the world and is followed by hilarious and absurd adventures.When he returns after an absense of ten years just in time for Christmas, he does not receive the hero’s welcome he believes he so richly deserves.At 7:05 CBC Stereo’s Stereo Theatre presents Winter 1671, the story of three young women sent from France to help populate Quebec.Written by Erika Ritter, the story is an intense study of human nature focussed on one young woman whose refusal to marry herself off like a good little wench kicks off questions not only about her past, but about the legal system itself.Them uppity womens just don’t seem to know how to mind their place no more.On Ideas at 9:05 on CBC Radio The Leading Edge looks at a 20 year study to investigate each and every one of the 959 cells that go into the construction of a biological entity known as Roundworm C.While demonstrating the already well-known lunacy of your average research scientist, the investigation also reveals a consistant illogic in biology itself: Nature is just as absurd as the rest of us.Paula Curphey and Alan Gerrish (right) are displaying their pottery at Galerie La Renaissance in North Hatley.The work of many other artists are on display at the gallery as well,' including the paintings of Joyce Schweitzer-Cochrane (left). 8—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1984 Travel t »__gyj UBCont Atlantic Canada looks for even more tourists in 1985 Maritime provinces are finally shedding their negative image Visitors flocked to the Atlantic provinces in 1984 to see the tall ships, the Pope and the Queen.Tourism officials hope the influx also augured the start of better times after 10 lean years.Figures for 1984 show that despite a feeling unearthed in a survey that the area is overpriced and underdeveloped, more Canadians and Americans headed for Atlantic Canada with its cosy fishing villages, sprawling beaches and down-home hospitality.All four Atlantic provinces had more visitors in 1984, and the $1.3 billion they left behind in the financially troubled region has helped propel tourism to the status of a major industry.However, the encouraging 1984 figures reflect that during the year, Pope John Paul visited Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia; the tall ships stopped in Halifax and Sydney, N.S.; and the Queen and Prince Philip toured New Brunswick to help the province celebrate its bicentennial.Omer Leger, New Brunswick tourism minister, says there’s no question the bicentennial and the visits by the Pope and the Queen helped give his province its seven- to nine-per-cent increase in tourist traffic.PASSING THROUGH Leger hopes New Brunswick is finally shedding its reputation as a pass-through province, an area that has to be traversed en route to the white-sand beaches of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.“The bicentennial and the Pope’s visit helped to increase awareness of New Brunswick as a tourist destination both for Canadians and Americans,” says Leger.‘‘Now we have to build on that increase.” Newfoundland celebrated its 400th anniversary in 1983 and saw a marked increase in tourist traffic that year.Tourism Minister Neil Windsor said residual impact from the celebration year helped keep tourism figures comfortable in 1984.Automobile traffic was down slightly from the previous year, but air traffic increased by about 10 per cent.‘Tourism is worth about $225 million, which makes it a very important industry in our province,” says Windsor.“Nevertheless, I think we’re still in the infancy of tourism in Newfoundland and we have a long way to go to develop a tourism plant to take advantage of the growing number of tourists who are coming, to give them the kinds of facilities and services they expect, demand and should have when they visit us.” VIEWED AS DULL Not surprisingly perhaps, provincial tourism officials in the region found much to disagree with in the survey released by the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council in which a small sampling of New England residents described Atlantic Canada as dull, boring and too expensive.Bill Belliveau, vice-chairman of the council, a private economic think-tank, says the comments came about as small groups of New England residents were quizzed on the effectiveness of advertisements for Atlantic Canada.The message that came back from the New Englanders was devastating.“Consistent throughout all the groups,” says Belliveau, “was the feeling that this part of the country was kind of dull and bo-ring and perhaps a little backward and many people felt that in terms of scenery it was not This iceberg, near Amherst Cove in Newfoundland, is an example of the spectacular scenes offered in the Maritimes.much different from New England but it was farther away and colder.“They also felt that the devalued Canadian dollar had no particular value to them because they felt we were gouging the tourists and our prices were too high.“There was also an impression that we were out of date and old-fashioned, that we were very quiet and rural — a good place for a retirement vacation, but not a good place if you want to have some fun and activity.” NEED ATTRACTIONS Belliveau feels the Atlantic tourism industry has to develop some world-class attractions.It’s not good enough, he says, just to offer the beaches and the historic sites without providing comfortable, high-class accommodation and recreation for the travelling public.Belliveau had lots of reaction to the survey but it came in only two forms: people either agreed with the report or they totally disagreed.The latter reaction typifies that of the provincial tourism departments.“I don’t agree it’s boring here,” says Leger, who recently made a swing through Boston and Nashville with New Brunswick Christmas trees in tow to promote the picture province.“I think it was a negative report.I don’t want to argue with it; I want to forget about it.” Leger says there were fewer American visitors to New Brunswick in 1984 but he feels that’s because it was an election year in the United States and “psychologists still don’t know why Americans won’t leave home during an election year.” KEY IS U S.But other provinces had more U.S.visitors, particularly P.E.I., where increased American traffic was seen as a key element of a longed-for turnaround.Tourist traffic from the United States to the Atlantic region has been declining for about the last 10 years.But Garth Staples, assistant deputy minister for tourism in P E L, says his department mmë.chose New England for intensive advertising about four years ago and it looks as though the promotion is starting to pay off.“At one time,” says Staples, “the New England market represented about 25 per cent of P.E.I.business and that dropped off to something like six or seven per cent over the past decade.That is now on the increase.” TRAFFIC UP The same appears to be true in Nova Scotia, where there was a five-per-cent increase in tourist traffic in 1984.Ken Mounce, deputy minister of tourism, disagrees with the economic council’s report.“We’re getting very positive and favorable results in New England,” says Mounce.“That’s not to say there’s not more marketing required or more advertising needed.But our figures indicate our market effort in the New England-northeastern U.S.has been pretty good and our traffic is up.” Windsor says the New England report is clearly off base.“Anyone who thinks Newfoundland is a dull place has obviously never been there.” Prince Edward Island boasts 500 miles of sandy beaches.71® TRANS-OCEAN TRAVEL INC.66 King St.W.Sherbrooke, P.Q.,

western provinces and territories.They all plan unusual pavilions with designs ranging from grain-elevator style to a tent-like structure topped by a revolving tower.And they are making substantial investments in the Vancouver world fair with budgets as high as $7.9 million.The provinces and territories will incorporate Expo’s theme of transportation and communication into their pavilions but each area will illustrate the theme in its own way with everything from snowmobiles to pipelines.Designs for the Northwest Ter-ritories’ pavilion are being completed inthe office of Vancouver architect Bing Thom.“I think people will find it a very interesting design, very exciting, that says something about the North,” says Thom, whose office is also planning the exhibits and films for the pavilion.LIVE AND WORK Pavilion commissioner George Braden says it “will demonstrate how people live and work in the North” and how they use the latest form of transportation, such as a snowmobile, together with such traditional forms as a sleigh.“That’s how we bridge the gap between modern technology and our tradition.We will also focus on our huge land, our wildlife, our various cultures and our renewable resources such as our fur trade.” The territory’s restaurant will feature arctic char, muskox, reindeer and caribou cooked in a variety of ways.Negotiations are under way with the federal Fisheries Department for permission to give away free tastes of muktuk (whale) and seal meat.“It’s illegal to sell whale and seal but we think people would like to experience it,” said Braden.In the Arctic, seal and whale meat — often eaten raw — are still a staple of the traditional diet.Alberta has already unveiled the design of its pavilion, which looks a little like a teepee topped by a revolving tower.BUILD YORK BOAT In its main floor restaurant, with an open-air section, the ranching province will have a huge side of beef cooking all the time.Alberta is hoping to build a York boat — a large wooden river vessel last used commercially in the 1920s — on the Expo site.And if all goes according to plan, the boat would be launched just before the close of the fair.Yukon’s pavilion, being designed by the Vancouver architec- tural firm of Howard-Yanno, will have a colorful facade by Whitehorse artist Ted Harrison.“It's a very small pavilion, about 5,000 square feet, but it faces False Creek,” says coordinator Patrick Dixon.“Inside, with our exhibits, we want to get across the message that the Yukon is a beautiful wilderness that is very accessible and has an interesting history with the gold rush.” Saskatchewan’s pavilion will be a grain elevator-style building in two different kinds of glass.The elevator tower will be topped by a 32-metre-high viewing level from which visitors can look out over the entire fair.Leaning Tower of Pisa attracts all kinds of comedians PISA, Italy (CP) — There are plenty of comedians in Pisa, and most of them seem to be out on the vast expanse of manicured grass in front of the 800-year-old Leaning Tower.Just about every second tourist in the Piazza del Duomo, or Square of Miracles, is standing at an angle, right knee bent, right shoulder dipped, pointing to the eight-level architectural oddball and saying in one of a dozen languages: “See, there’s nothing wrong with the tower — it’s all the other buildings that are out of kilter.” Others stand on the lawn, their backs to the tower, leaning backwards with arms above and behind them, hands flattened out.In this strange stance, they shuffle back and forth, lowering and raising their arms, altering the angle of their hands at the command of came-ra-aiming partners who kneel on the grass a few metres away.The idea is to stage the perfect Pisa gag picture — countless attempts are made on every fine, sunny day — a shot that would make it appear the person leaning backward is actually holding the tower up.One thing is certain The marvel of the Leaning Tower continues to draw tourists year after year.?" WËÊÈà lü # m.mm 4» issii* — it needs holding up.QUIT IN DISGUST Started in 1174 by an architect who finally quit in disgust when all efforts failed to keep the tower at right angles to the ground, the tower wasn’t completed until the 14th century.Even such construction tricks as building columns on one side shorter than the other failed to dim the reality.“It’s going to come crashing down one day,” says a street vendor doubling as a volunteer guide.“It could land right on top of my cart — I hope I’m at lunch.” The tower, the height of an 18-storey building, is the big lure for thousands of tourists who come from all over Europe and beyond to this historic government and university town in Tuscany, just 10 kilometres from the balmy Tyrrhenian Sea and only an hour from Florence.EASY TO REACH Surprisingly, many European bus tour operators who regularly take their charges to tourist-jammed Florence bypass Pisa, but it’s easy to reach by rail as a side-trip on the “free” day provided on most tours.It’s only a short walk from the station to the piazza, whose swampy subsoil is the culprit in the tower’s inevitable tilt to doom.“It’s been tipping one centimetre a year,” a guide told a group of American visitors from a U.S.military base near Rome.“So a few years ago, they dug up all around here — made a frightful mess —- and put in tons and tons of concrete.” ‘‘What happened then?” asked a woman.‘ ‘The next year it tip-ped over two centimetres.” TAKES LIBERTY This is a bit of tour guide licence.Scientific measurements have established that the tower, constructed entirely of marble with an interior stairway of 296 huff-and-puff steps, is tipping 1.25 millimetres a year.But in the last 150 years alone, that minuscule annual shift has been enough to bring the tip of the tower the length of a man’s arm closer to collapsing.The charm of the tower and other buildings in the piazza, notably the circular ba-pistery, are offset somewhat by the hordes of hawkers and rows of gift shops, all selling the same array of toy cameras, trick guns and plastic models of the tower.But the trip to Galileo’s birthplace, a city that once rivalled Genoa and Venice and whose artworks inspired Michelangelo, is well worth the effort.1 & I I i I $ « S I % WE PAVED A HIGHWAY IN THE SKY.Call us to make all reservations for your trip.Vermont Travel Service 60 Main, Box 248 802-334-7306

coming up on Tuesday, Jan.1.But before then we'll have the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve, featuring the Purdue Boilermakers (7-4) playing the surprising Virginia Cavaliers (7-2- 2) , on CBS, and later in the evening, in Houston, the Bluebonnet Bowl has Texas Christian (8-3) against the University of West Virginia (7-4).It will be carried on ESPN and Mizlou.New Year’s Day is always NBC's time to shine.With three Bowl games, the Fiesta, Rose and Orange, they almost predominate the football scene Starting off for the peacock network will be the Fiesta Bowl from Tempe, Ariz.UCLA's Bruins (8- 3) will meet Miami's Hurricanes (8-4), featuring the strong arm of Bernie Kosar.The Rose Bowl in Pasadena has Southern California's Trojans (8-2-1) playing the Ohio State Buckeyes (9-2) in a lackluster matchup.But then again the Buckeyes feature the hard-running Keith Byars, runner-up to Doug Flutie for the Heisman Trophy.The evening game is the Orange Bowl in which the Sooners of Oklahoma (9-1-1) face the Huskies of Washington (10-1).Oklahoma is ranked No.2 in the nation and Washington is No.3.The winner could be named national champion, since the regular season’s choice of Brigham Young is under a cloud because of the school's relatively light schedule.But the Bowl that most of the nation will be watching will be the CBS presentation of the Cotton Bowl, mainly because this year it’s Doug Flutie's bowl.The Heisman winner and his Boston College Eagles take on the Houston Cougars, so Bowl watchers will be able to see the little (by professional football standards) magician work his wonders for the last time as a collegian.On New Year's night on ABC, the Sugar Bowl from New Orleans carries the Louisiana State Tigers (8-2-1) meeting the University of Nebraska (9-2) in what could be a tight game (c)l985Compulofl tB BONA VENTURE TRAVEL 11:00 0 LES HEROS DU SAMEDI "Gymnastique artistique" Tournoi invitation (lilies), a la Polyvalente Cavelier de Lasalle.O KIDD VIDEO O SESAME
