hardly the maple syrup capital of the world.In fact, an educated guess might be that exactly zero (0) maple trees are tapped in this city each year to draw out the sweet sap, though science-minded youngsters may have tried on occasion to make a few drops of syrup.\" It is known, however, that in the past 18 years Westmount has \u201cdone its part\u201d to promote maple, approval expected Approval of parking meters for the Westmount Public Library and Victoria Hall lots will highlight Tuesday evening's first- of-the-year city council meeting, scheduled for 8 pm at city hall.The meeting is being held on Tuesday since Monday will be the legal New Year's holiday, and city hall will be closed all day.Other agenda items include a zoning change to allow for construction of a garage on Edgehill road, redivision of the property on the south side of St.Catherine street east of Greene avenue for construction of Westmount One by First Quebec Corporation, and a notice of motion to amend the city's general pension fund bylaw.Councillors will also be presented with the list of accounts for November and are expected to approve the building of a telephone booth over the building line

643 Grosvenor, where people can obtain recipe books for using maple syrup and submit their own recipes for publication (with credit) in future books.IMSI is, in fact, Mr.Tardif\u2019s brain-child, not because he was particularly interested in maple syrup or because he needed to satisfy his own sweet tooth.As vice-president of a major Montreal marketing firm, COGEM, Mr.Tardif was approached by the Quebec government to do something about the province's enormous surplus (at that time) of maple syrup.He immediately began studying major American and Canadian cities to discern their market potential, and decided the best way to get to them would be to establish an international organization which could promote and also guarantee the purity of the product.\u201cPeople didn't know much about maple syrup,\u201d Mr.Tardif notes of his study, carried out among consumers in New York City, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal and Toronto.\u201cIf they were made aware of it, they got enthused, and price was not a major handicap.\u201d **A young Turk\" In any event, the decision was made as a result of the study to form such an organization.Mr.Tardif, having already been in contact with producers in Quebec and other maple-producing provinces and states as far west as Wisconsin (even Ohio roduces a substantial amount), gan to work up the idea of forming IMSI.He was saddled with a handicap, in that most maple producers are \u2018very individualistic, even chauvinistic,\u201d and he was considered \u2018\u2018a young Turk telling them what to do.\u201d Eventually he was able to solicit funds from producers, processors, equipment suppliers and others involved in maple syrup, then went to the American secretary of agriculture (since- resigned Earl Butz) and the Canadian and Quebec governments to procure support from them.In all he had funding of over $1 million for a five-year program to promote maple Syrup.By Aug.3 of this year, the plan for action was on the drawing- boards.Mr.Tardif drew together the producers and others to form the structure, and was quickly designated as the man to do all the work, since he was so elemental in the formation (though Gilles Croteau, director- general of the Quebec Maple Sugar Producers Co-operative, was elected president of IMSD).\u201cIt's like a sideline,\u201d Mr.Tardif says, admitting that the interest he developed in maple syrup helped him agree to take on the managing position.\u201cI like it because it\u2019s people.\u201d 3.000 contest entries Though the organization was formed, it had no identity- establishing logo.and Mr.Tardif's first task was to set up a contest (first prize $1,000) to obtain one.Advertisements were put in papers throughout the maple syrup-producing states and provinces, promoting maple syrup and offering the cash awards for the contest.One Westmount mailman was overwhelmed for several weeks with entries, some 3,000 of which arrived at Mr.Tardif's West- mount home during the fall.On Nov.15 the official logo, devised by Brewes Scholes of Willowdale, Ont., was selected (along with 10 runners-up who received $100 each) and announced at a meeting of IMSI in Syracuse, N.Y.on Dec.2.Next step is to produce: a which Mr.Tardif envisions regional representation (one section for Quebec, one for New England, one for the midwestern United States, and so on) with some 300 recipes.Then next fall there will be a general promotion for the book.Another step, which might take several years, is to get all producers to use IMSI\u2019s logo on their packaging to indicate pure maple syrup.The intransigence of some producers, however, will have to be overcome.Many are small-time farmers whose market extends only through the local area, who will probably be less than eager to get involved in such an effort until it proves its worth.Interestingly, Montreal and Los Angeles, his survey showed, have the greatest untapped market potential.English- speaking Montreal, including many immigrants or descendants of immigrants from England, has not become accustomed to the taste of maple syrup (despite Westmount's having introduced it to the Queen).but the recent ad campaign seems to have helped.The Dallas-Fort Worth population \u201cis ready,\u201d Mr.Tardif claims, and once buying begins they expect to \u201cshoot tanks down there.\" Surplus now depleted Because of bad seasons the past two springs, and because of increased advertising, the four- million barrel surplus in Quebec is now depleted, but because of improved technology \u2018\u2018the surplus flows much better between the good years and the bad ears.\u201d New tubing and processing techniques have been applied so \u2018\u2018you can help mother nature help you.\u201d Still, because of the increased advertising, a third bad spring could mean there is not enough supply to meet the demand.While there is little chance of increasing consumption in the mainly-rural maple-producing areas, Los Angeles and Vancouver are among cities already asking for more.Mr.Tardif has solicited the help of his wife, Rachel, to help him collate material and answer telephones, and she has now become so involved that she travels to a downtown office each day to do the work.\u201cI'm living a wonderful experience,\u201d Mr.Tardif says of his interaction with maple producers, many of whom are old-timers, still collecting sap from buckets on trees, the way their fathers and grandfathers did.\u201cRight now it\u2019s so much fun and there's so much work to be done that I can\u2019t tell you about leaving it.It\u2019s like a baby you have seen born and you keep yaising.\u201d Mixes milk and maple Routine work does beckon, however, and now Mr.Tardif is under contract to the dairy industry to help re-evaluate the whole strategy of marketing milk in Canada.Perhaps it was in hopes of straddling the fence, of keeping fingers in both pies, that Mr.Tardif offered this reporter a \u201cpolar bear cocktail\u2019\u2019\u2014a concoction of vodka, milk and maple syrup.Readers might do better to stay with tastier maple items, things like \u2018\u2018glazed maple lamb,\" \u201cmaple charlotte russe,\u201d \u2018\u2018maple Alaska,\u2019 or perhaps simply maple syrup on clean snow, a la sugaring-off party In any event, the maple syrup era might be here to stay, and Westmount might pride itself not only in introducing it to royalty, but in introducing it to the whole continent.RR A EAA ARAL EA STOVER AAAS Claude Tardif with the new IMSI logo.Continued from page one covering the southwestern tip of Montreal Island.The 47-year-old lieutenant was highly regarded for handling the traffic division of the former Westmount Police Force, a division which was dissolved soon after the integration of Montreal Urban Community forces.During his tenure the city received several awards for pedestrian and traffic safety.Mr.Hugman joined the force on Sept.15, 1952 and became a Lieut.Staniey C.Hugman eu 8151 V8 A0 sergeant in 1958.In May of 1964 he attended a month-long traffic conference at the Ontario Police College, and during his absence he was promoted to rank of lieutenant.Soon afterwards he took control of the traffic division.Since the MUC Police decided that local stations\u2019 traffic divisions did not merit control by an officer of such rank, Lieut.Hugman was put on platoon command; this year the city\u2019s traffic division was taken entirely out of the local station, as Cst.George Payne was transferred to the hit-and-run investigation section in east-end Montreal.He has since returned to factionnaire duties in West- - mount.À resident of the west island, Lieut.Hugman reportedly felt he would like to be stationed closer to home.His duties will continue to be about the same as he performed in Westmount in recent years.SINCE 1916 OUR MASTER ROOFERS AT YOUR SERVICE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL WESTMOUNT ROOFING LTD.René

Firemen have quiet Christmas Christmas Day was relatively peaceful for the Westmount Fire Brigade, despite four early calls which kept the men husy while many families were opening stockings and presents.A chimney fire at 38 Belvedere road at 9:30 am was the only significant call, and firemen quickly doused the flames by sending chemicals up the chimney.The fire apparently started among collected soot and grease in the flue.It could not be determined whether the residents of the house had been burning large amounts of Christinas wrappings.Other calls included a smoke scare at 376 Redfern avenue which turned out to be insignificant, a small oil spill at 4721 The Boulevard and, finally, furnace trouble at 3 Roxborough avenue at 12:25 pm.From that time on, citizens seem to have kept themselves, their trees, fireplaces and Christmas paper in good order.The four Christmas calls followed a \u201cnil day\" on Christmas eve, when no fire-related trouble was reported.Tender call

registration number 1760 4 - Thursday, December 30, 1976 MUC hits us again FOR 11 years, Sgt.Walter Richardson and his police dog Buddy made Westmount a safer place at night.Westmount was one of those communities which in police and other services for its citizens carefully tailored men, equipment and methods to its peculiar needs.Local decisions for local circumstances are infinitely better than rules and norms stamped out of a central mold.The many people to whom Sgt.Richardson and his constant canine companion, cruising Westmount streets in their unmarked station wagon, were a familiar and comforting sight will be more than a little upset that once again the expensive, levelling and insensitive hand of the MUC police department has disposed of another hallmark of excellence of the former Westmount Police.Ordinary citizens cannot pretend to be experts in police or other professional matters.However, as the supposed beneficiaries of the services provided by their tax dollars they should have the ultimate say in what they expect.It therefore is more than a little disturbing to read their mayor and their public safety commissioner quoted as saying they felt there was little they could do to influence the MUC decision.A decision, we wager, which had less to do with efficiency and effectiveness than with the fact that \u2018\u2018the one-man police force\u201d did not fit into the plans for mediocre uniformity being made elsewhere for us.Mad bureaucrats THERE is no better current example of bureaucracy gone mad than in the predicament of the Westmount Preschool.Here is a five-year success story, despite financial struggle.It operates mornings and afternoons in the Westmount Park School basement, both taking care of and teaching four- and five-year-olds, frequently of working parents.By most any yardstick it might be described as filling a social need in the best of ways: the co-operative effort of the parents.The Westmount case is not isolated.There are 44 such operations, banded together under the Quebec Council of Parent Participation Preschools.On the scene appears government; or rather, two government departments, both of which have proceeded to make asses of themselves.It's a no-no, says the department of education: it doesn't meet its requirements as a private school.It's a no-no.says the department of social affairs: it doesn\u2019t comply with its rules for a day-care centre.It's a yes-yes, say the parents, who want their preschool to continue just as it is, as neither a \u201c'private school\u2019 nor a *\u2018daycare centre\u2019 and, clearly, without government help or hindrance.Yet the bureaucrats have been unable to keep their meddling fingers out of a perfectly proper.indeed ideally free- enterprising venture.What's worse, they obviously are in disarray among themselves.Apart from the evident government interference, the preschools present a classic case of dilemma for the official Dec Dn rt are ST hp gy kA AT eR - mind.Without a pigeon-hole marked \u201cPreschools,\u201d a blind attempt is being made to shove them into one or the other of two existing ones.It obviously has not occurred to someone either to make a new pigeon-hole or, still better, let this successful, self- supporting bird simply fly free.Tire Woshmawnt Lammers Thirty-five Years Ago December 30, 1941 \u201cThe imposition of Canada\u2019s extensive price controls has thus far at least, brought little visible difference to the life of the average citizen.It is of course much too early to intimate how the whole system is going to work.It may be some time before the strange new economic garment fits snugly and comfortably; seams may give here or there, and the tailor\u2019s needle and scissors may be brought into play.But for the first few days since the plan began oe Be aN, has been a reduction here and there in cost of articles he purchases.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago December 28, 1951 * \u2018We must return to the worship of God.There is no hope for mankind in this atomic age unless we return to God, the Father of us all,\u201d declared Rabbi Harry Stern of Temple Emanu-El, at the weekly meeting of the St.Laurent Progress Club.Rabbi Stern declared that \u2018there has been no time in history when there was a greater need for churches and synagogues.\u2019 He said there must be spiritual as well as scientific advance for the good of mankind.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago December 29, 1961 \u201cWhen Parliament reconvenes next month you can be sure there will be two or three private bills on the order paper to do with lotteries.It is a subject that interests the House of Commons very much.Back in 1932 a free vote was taken on whether or not we should have a state lottery, It added up to 105 against lotteries and 57 for them.Most of the 57 MPs came from Quebec.But now public opinion seems to be swinging around more and more to a wish for some kind of national lottery.\" Five Years Ago December 30, 1971 \u201cMayor Paul Ouimet has come out strongly against the Montreal Urban Community budget, believing that not enough attention has been paid to cutting costs and that the suburbs were unfairly hit with police costs without being consulted.\u2018Nobody seems interested in cutting expenses,\u2019 he said, \u2018and the MUC must learn to live within its means.\u2019 He said he was seriously concerned with the rising cost of MUC services and added that this year\u2019s MUC budget was nearly 50 percent 1, all the ayeçage prana ban rotiead-aagreatenthan the previous budget\"! - - « - - A

Sixth Floor The Whiff of Grape: ~ Westmounters dominate club where the powerful speak their minds Have you ever wondered what someone like Earle McLaughlin, Claude Ryan, Warren Allmand or Paul Heliyer really thinks about things?Have you ever wanted to give René Lévesque, J in Robertson or even Rusty Staub a piece of your mind?Rub shoulders with the likes of Sam Berger, Brian Mulroney or Charles Bronfman?Dream on, folks.Probably many of you will never get the chance.But for quite a few Westmounters and others, the dream has become reality through a very exclusive club whose existence is little-known outside the membership.The Whiff of Grape, which came into the public eye because of a motion passed by Westmount city council on Nov.1, has been meeting, listening and talking to such people in entirely \u2018off-the- record\u2019 sessions since 1964.Its purpose is to allow the members of the select club to chat with the members openly, to say what they feel and to find out what the speakers might like to say, but would not utter publicly for fear of misunderstanding or misrepresentation.The name derives from a comment by Napoleon to his troops, to \u2018\u201cdonner les rebelles la décharge de mitraille.\u2019 Translated, that statement means to give the rebels a round of buckshot, but as noted in The Examiner when the council resolution was passed, \u201cmitraille\u201d also means \u2018\u2018grapeshot,\u2019 and somehow the quotation got translated in those terms.In fact, the translation is a more accurate description of what really takes place, since the speaker is hosted to a dinner and drinks (including, of course, many derived from grapes) at the monthly meeting.Exclusive membership The \u201cWhiff is \u2018\u2018one of the most exclusive clubs going,\u201d explains Brian Gallery, 57 Forden avenue, one of the founders of the group.New members must be moved, seconded and approved by vote of the membership, and can only be brought in by invitation from another member.The club is chartered for men only and has a maximum membership of 65, with very little turnover from year to year.There are also chapters in Toronto and Ottawa; members from Montreal become members of the Toronto chapter immediately if they move there (and vice versa), but the Ottawa organization has not yet agreed to such a rule.On the last Wednesday of each month, the members get together for dinner (usually at the Montreal Badminton and Squash Club), after which they listen to the invited guest.The best guests, according to Mr.Gallery, are those who speak for about five minutes, then open up the floor to questions.Because of the status of the membership, those questions are generally intelligent, to the point, and hard- hitting.Since no press (as such) are present at the meeting, the answers can be far more honest and open, perhaps even embarrassing to the questioner.When René Lévesque spoke in January of 1968, for example, the exchange was so fierce that at the end the emcee did not even thank him, simply announced that his 430 ABELARD.APT.IC ILE DES SOEURS Claude D.Luc CONSULTATION ET CROISSANCE PERSONNELLE { GESTALT) COUNSELLING

Fullerton of Hampstead and Gavin Ross of Montreal, put together the club and had at its first session in April of 1964 a debate entitled \u2018\u2018Marriage as a Desirable Institution,\u201d with two bachelors speaking in the affirmative and two married men in the negative.Since then the group has invited speakers on a variety of subjects, everything from sports to politics, medicine to law.Included in the list, besides those mentioned, have been John Lynch-Staunton, then a councillor for the City of Montreal (January '65); Yves Fortier on the Dorion inquiry (July '65); Dalton Camp, president of the National Progressive Conservative Association (May \u201966); the late Réal Caouette, Quebec leader of the Social Credit Party (April 67); Lorne Webster, a director of the Montreal Expos (July '68); the late Paul Ouimet, then president of the General Council of Industry of the Province of Quebec (March \u201970- before he became mayor of Westmount); Jean Lesage on the Quiet Revolution (November 70); Ted Blackman on the Russia-Canada hockey series (October '72); Architect Michael Fish of Save Montreal (June \u201974); then-MNA Hon.William Tetley (October '74); Doug Gilbert of the \u2018Gazette on the.Olympics (April '75); and, during this year's provincial campaign, National Union leader Rodrigue Biron in October.MERCIER & TOUTANT Arpenteurs \u2014 Géomètres Quebec Land Surveyors 4898 de Maisonneuve O.489-8251 \u201cIt's a good opportunity for a guy to tell a select few in an informal manner about his problems, Mr.Gallery explained.Despite the rather poor reception which Mr.Lévesque received, Pierre Bourgault, president of the Ralliement pour l'Indépendance National, \u201ccharmed\u201d the largely- conservative club in June of 1965.The members have also listened to Raymond Lemieux of the Mouvement pour l\u2019Intégration Scolaire during that organization\u2019s heyday in October, 1968.Off record but not secret There is a general understanding among the membership that nothing which is said will appear in print the next day, though the society is by no means .\u2018secret,\u2019 according to Mr.Gallery.Thus the speakers can relax and answer questions directly without worrying about the effects they might have on the public at large.None of the speakers is offered money for attending, though some have asked.Besides its orientation toward the speakers, The Whiff of Grape is a social club, a monthly gathering of buddies and \u2018\u2018a fun evening which a lot of the guys look forward to,\u201d Mr.Gallery says.Since wives make the monthly concession of allowing their husbands to have a \u2018boys\u2019 night out,\u201d they are invited jo a cocktail party once a year and often receive presents for which the membership has donated funds.The average age of the membership is about 40, and Mr.Gallery feels this will simply go higher as the members grow older, since turnover is very small and the club is simply a FLOWERS Westmount Florist Ltd.Please make note of Our New Address 360 Victoria Ave.(West side, between Somerville and Sherbrooke) and Our New Phone 438-9121 gathering of friends and peers.The club may even die off as the group does, since it is not really designed to perpetuate itself.The organization is run by a five-man \u2018'\u2018junta,\u201d according to Mr.Gallery.of which Tom Gillespie, 48 Aberdeen avenue, is this year's president, and on which are Kenneth Copland, 1 Forden avenue.Bryce Douglas, 40 Forden crescent: David Lang, 332 Redfern avenue, and Wilson McLean, 6 Belfrage road.The all- Westmount executive reflects the makeup of the membership, 35 of whose 65 members come from this city, with only nine from Montreal, seven from the Town of Mount Royal and four each from Montreal West and Beaconsfield.Resolution was needed Originally members paid for each meal at the time of the event, but more recently a decision was made to charge an annual fee (now $95), with whatever is left over at the end of the year going to support a membership \u2018\u2018gourmel banquet.\" For reasons of its own, the non-profit organization is now seeking a provincial charter, and to do this it needed endorsement from a municipal council, thus the Westmount resolution of last month.The city council resolution, moved by Mr.Gallery in his status as alderman\u2014rather than co-founder of the club\u2014gives the \u201cplace of business\u201d as 1165 Greene avenue, his office, despite the fact that none of the meetings are held there nor is he now a member of the \u201cjunta.\u201d though he has been three times in the past.Still, now that the club is a matter of public record, one wonders how many people walk by the Gallery Publications office at Greene avenue and St.Catherine street, stick their noses in the air and try to capture \u2018the whiff of grape\u2019 coming from the building.IIE 168) $ 18} tore the holidays $ Please take fair heed Of every plumbing { And repair

sculptures are being exhibited there.This is the third dual show for Tom and Ron Benner who live in Shedden, Ont.Tom, the elder, has exhibited singly in Ontario and his works are being collected by the Ottawa Art Bank, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and Holiday Rent-a-car, in London, Ont.The materials used in the brothers\u2019 sculptures include white metal, plastic roofing cement, spruce resin,

Covenant with God,\u201d and it has been used most frequently since his time at year's end or for the first Sunday of the year.The opening hymn, \u2018Come, let us use the grace divine,\u201d was written for this service by his brother, the Rev.Charles Wesley.Rev.Ernest Nix will speak on the covenant theme as related to his own ministry, inviting people to give serious consideration to their individual callings.The Westmount Park church school will be in recess until the following Sunday.Jan.9, but the crib corner will be available for small children this Sunday.The church's senior choir

process of destroying your hardwood floors, don\u2019t send them out into the streets with all that ice, snow and slush (to say nothing of the cars, trucks and buses), send them out to the Paladium

Chomedey.You can rent skates there, too.Indoor skating may be fun during the winter, but when spring comes the lure of suburban streets is irresistible for true roller skaters.Jumping off curbs, negotiating yawning cracks and potholes and patching skinned knees and elbows is all part of the action.A roller skater\u2019s nirvana is a section of street blocked off for repairs of a sewer or a gasline running across the street at one end of the block.This means that the rest of the street remains undisturbed for roller skaters and, of course, the occasional skateboarder hanging ten or shooting the curb.Ah, the sweet whir and clatter of roller skates on a warm summer evening!

\u201cTheatre is entertaining the public,\u201d says Jeff Mappin.\u201cPeople want to walk into a theatre and forget their troubles.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what Jeff, who lives at 598 Argyle avenue, will do for people when they see him as the wicked Snogg in the Saidye Bronfman Centre production of the Hans Christian Andersen tale \u2018The Red Shoes.\u201d A professional actor for the past year.except for a short stint as a doorman-bouncer at a bar, Jeff has acted in several plays and films in Montreal, including a job as an extra in \u201cAngela.\u201d starring Sophia Loren, which was filmed in Westmount and Montreal recently.Stage credits include the part of the cowardly lion in the SBC production of \u2018\u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d last Christmas and a part in \u201cDreyfus in Rehearsal\u2019* which recently played at the centre.In films, he was a stand-in in \u2018\u2019Jaceb Two-Two and the Hooded Fang,\u201d the film adaptation of Mordecai Richler\u2019s children's book, and he played in a fight scene in the Cinepix production of \u201cRabid.\u201d The latter part was acquired probably because of his size.He is six feet four inches tall and weighs 250 pounds, but doesn't think his size is a liability for stage work.In a production of Shakespeare's \u201cTwelfth Night\u201d he naturally played Sir Toby Belch.\u201cT\u2019ll have to play these roles in the first stage of my career, until people begin to call,\u201d he says, adding that that might not be for \u201c5 to 20 years until people know who you are and what you can do ty He feels that in 20 years he could play King Lear although he doesn\u2019t feel qualified now.Lear \u201chas been called the unplayable character,\u201d he says, but he thinks \u2018\u2018the frailty (of Lear).would come across better on a big .man.\u201d One of the largest His size may be an asset in certain cases because, as he says, he is one of the largest working actors in Montreal so all the theatres know him and can call if they need him.But despite his size, the 21-year-old actor wears a beard to at least partially conceal his boyish face.His large frame, clothed in denim pants, shirt and vest, barely fits into the small chair he is forced to sit in because a visitor has taken most of the room on the two-seater couch.He lives with his parents on Argyle avenue and compares his financial arrangement with them to the old Italian families who used to support artists ana become their patrons.He says even if he were working on the stage 52 weeks a year he would still barely make enough to support himself.That\u2019s one reason why he will soon be leaving for Toronto.and because he doesn't speak French well enough to play in French theatre, his opportunities are limited to the few professional English theatres in this city.In Toronto, there are, ob- Too hot car now really hot Thieves might be having a little trouble with a car which has a knack for overheating, even in December.A man tried to start his car at about 10:30 last Tuesday morning, found it had overheated and left it for a week on the P-i parking level at Alexis Nihon Plaza, perhaps to cool off.When he returned to the reserved spot this Tuesday at 7:50 pm, the auto was gone.All quiet The way to keep down traffic accidents is to keep cars off the street, it seems.An unusually quiet Christmas Day on Saturday was kept all the more quiet for local police by a complete lack of accidents anywhere in West- mount during the entire day.viously, many more English theatres in which to work.He already has a part in an episode of the CBC-TV program \u201cSidestreet\u2019\u2019 in which he has to ride a motorcycle.Naturally, when they asked him if he could ride a motorcycle he said yes, even though his experience has been limited to minibikes.\u201c] used to ride a horse,\u201d he says, \u2018\u2018but they don\u2019t make many westerns any more.\u201d He adds that anything you have done is a skill that can be useful in the theatre or in films.Enjoyment just starting Jeff says he has just started to enjoy doing films though several years ago he acted in a student film called \u2018\u2018November 3.\u201d It was a film about murder and bloodshed.He calied it an exercise in concentration.\u2018\u2018It is difficult to do a film like that and walk away and be the same .person,\u201d he says.\u201cIl took me a week to get over it.\u201d He says there is a difference between stage and film acting.One only has a certain amount of creative and emotional energy, and in a play it has to be stretched over the length of the play, but in a film the emotion can be intensified because only one minute is shot at a time.And, he says, in terms of salary, three weeks of film work is worth six weeks of stage work.Getting jobs, he adds, \u2018depends not so much on how good you are, but how long you've been in the business.You acquire a certain expertise and you can demand more.\u201d Jeff started acting in West- mount High School in productions such as \u201cYou can\u2019t take it with you, and \u2018Little Mary Sunshine,\u201d but had never thought of making acting his career until a year after he had graduated and a friend showed him the ad for the drama course at Dawson College.He applied and was rejected on the grounds that the course was full.In fact, he discovered, it was other English departments which had reached their quota, so with the help of Victor Knight, head of the drama department at that time, he enrolled in the course.It was the first year of the course and all the students, he says, were very dedicated.The course became the Dome Theatre which, he claims, has been called by some the best professional drama school in Montreal and among the top half dozen in Canada.In the summer of 1975 Jeff was a professional-clown at Man and His World and for the past year he has been acting in Montreal.Outlet for fantasies Jeff says actors are extroverts who have desires to act out situations and characters they couldn't experience or be in real life.\u201cI have doctor and lawyer fantasies,\u201d he says, \u2018and a fantasy about being a murder suspect.\u201d He thinks theatre should be entertainment because life is so filled with real-life drama.The trouble, he says, is that to most North Americans the real-life dramas like Biafra, Vietnam and Rhodesia have become en- The Westmount Examiner, Thursday.December 30, 1976 - 7 At 6' 4\" and 250 Ibs., actor Jeff Mappin makes himself noticed tertainment.Television viewers don't care whether

a little orphan girl in Denmark who takes care of an elderly couple.As Snogg, Jeff plays a wicked gypsy with a pair of magic red shoes, controlled by a buttonhook, which make the wearer dance.He gets the girl to try on the shoes and then spirits her away to dance in the streets to make money for him.\u201cIt\u2019s a fun show,\" says Jeff, \u2018You know what's going to happen but you want to find out how.\u201d He says there is a difference between playing in children's and adults\u2019 theatre.Children's theatre has to have a quicker pace and a clear, though not necessarily uncomplicated plot which youngsters can understand.In some ways it is more difficult, he says, because kids are more apt to yell things from the audience and he must be able to incorporate these interruptions into the play.In \u2018\u201cRed Shoes,\" Jeff must talk to the audience and get reactions from them.And it's a good thing he is having fun doing the show because, as he says, if you (the actor) are nol having fun, then the kids won't.\u201d education week Free Parking FRENCH COURSES ORAL AND WRITTEN FOR ADULTS \u2014 TAX DEDUCTIBLE WEST END OF MONTREAL, QUE.EVENING COURSES Fluent conversations \u2014

Got any cookies?\u201d She then saw a magazine article about Famous Well locked Someone broke the glass on a door of a house on Grosvenor avenue south of Sherbrooke street between 8 am and 5:55 pm last Thursday, apparently in an attempt to enter the premises.It .seems they discovered the door was *\u2018\u2018too well locked,\u201d according to police, so abandoned any further attempts.By RICK KERRIGAN Amos in California who was a cookie freak too, but he cashed in on it.Two months ago Hilary decided she could make money selling her cookies, so with the help of boyfriend Peter Gelinas, 20, production of HP cookies got under way.They soon moved the operation from their 4560 St.Catherine street apartment because the oven there would only hold one cookie sheet.The baking is done now at Hilary's mother\u2019s house on Decasson.Strong right arm \u201cSometimes my mother and sister help,\u201d says Hilary, \u2018but I think they got tired of it.Peter does the measuring and I do the mixing.It\u2019s amazing how strong my arm is getting.\u201d She says they only use natural ingredients in the cookies because \u2018\u2018we don't want to feel we are selling garbage.\u201d The cookies are basically chocolate chip with date and nut variations, and she hesitates before telling about the banana and peanut butter cookies they tried.She loves to cook, she says, and likes to experiment with cooking.\u201cIt's \u2018chemistry,\u201d she says enthusiastically, continuing to wrap the cookies and pack them into a wooden case made for them by a woodworking friend.She uses the case to deliver her cookies to the Seville theatre and the Cinema V.Hilary says_she wants the operation to expand and be successful but only to the point \u201cwhere I still have my hand in it.\u2019 She says she would like it to remain like a cottage industry with work being done by several small enterprises like hers.\u2018\u2018It\u2019s a personal thing,\u201d she says, \u2018\u2018At the Seville l\u2019m greeted by \u2018Here comes the cookie lady.\u2019 \u201cPeople say that if the business gets big it will ruin everything,\u201d she continues, \u2018\u2018but I don\u2019t agree.I think we can have more quantity but keep the same quality.\u201d Vicious circle She thinks Peter, a graphic arts student at Dawson College, would like to see the enterprise become a large business, but she says that to sell more they would have to increase production which can't be done until they increase sales and make more money.This vicious circle could be a problem.Hilary claims she is not aggressive enough to sell her product because she is too timid and when the owner or manager of a small store says no to her she doesn\u2019t persist.She claims the small stores aren't creative enough to try anything new unless it's all conventionally packaged.and produced by a arge outfit.Another problem is protecting Du ere A NN AT CHRISTMAS PARTY: Mrs.Margaret Astles, left, a former resident of Mountain avenue, enjoys a glass of wine with Mrs.D othy Hutchins, Redpath crescent, and Mrs.Cora Dyson of ! awlton while a certain Christmas character looks on.The three t dents of Central Park Lodge Retirement Home were attending the Lodge's Christmas party held last Monday.244 was 0 2 00 5 2 1 The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 30, 1976 - Le Hilary Parsons her produce from the hungry 9 mouths of friends.\u2018\u2018Sometimes I put the cookies in the freezer and hide the key,\u2019 she says, \u2018\u2018because everyone eats them.\u201d Anthony\u2019 VARIETY STORE Post Oftice Greeting ny Etc.Open 8 am to 9 pm (Sunday: 11 am to 6 pm) 4500 St.Catherine St.W.(Cor.Abbott) MUCTC BUS TICKETS LEA & NINC || B.&D.Cleaning Company 4795 St.Catherine St.W.933-1935 * Towing ®* Boosting Service Westmount - N.D.G.- Downtown General Mechanics Body Work and Paint Free Estimates All Work Guaranteed e Pick Up and Delivery Service Daou Automobile 823 Dominion St.Montreal 2 streets east of Atwater Corner St.Antoine 931-3500 2107 St.Catherine Street Pav Ne \"> te 060 DOWNTOWN SA .- SERVICE #4\" ~~ PARTS - Your local downtown Datsun dealer.DATSUN LES oi ha : a.BODY SHOP MAJOR ACCIDENT REPAIRS 1 FLOORS OF SERVICE 932-7136 West \u201cy= Lo.
