WLU THEATRE AUDITORIUM SCENES FROM OPERA Strauss Mozart Gounod Von Weber Britten Just a collection of notes this week. Don‘t try to find any coherence in them. I noticed in one of my favâ€" friend of mine had been arâ€" rested for being drunk. When he turned up in court the folâ€" lowing Tuesday, he was so drunk he had to beâ€"taken aâ€" way for another week. This takes some ingenuity. But I‘m not surprised. Same chap some years ago, when his house was burning, threw his six children out the upâ€" stairs window into the snow. Saved them all. Whydon‘t people ever listen to me? At least 10 years ago, in this space, I said firmly that Red China should be recognized, adâ€" mitted to the U.N., and that silly old dictator, Chiang Kai Shek, turfed into the Inâ€" dian Ocean or somewhere. The column was received with real anger in some places. Now, everybody and his brother is buttering up the real Chinese and pourâ€" ing cold water on the phoney Chinese on Formosa. Oh well, even my wife won‘t listento me, so why should the politicians? So, I came home late one afternoon, a . couple of weeks ago, and there she was, playing with the butâ€" tons on a huge, expensive color TV. It‘s been here since, ‘"on trial", and I‘ve been subjected to endless hours of discussion about colors. It‘s been worse than those unspeakably boring sessions we‘ve had over the years on decorating. Do I like the mushroom with the lime green? Do I not think that the teal in the drapes will clash with the offâ€"blue in the rug? That sort of thing. And speaking of that woâ€" man, who has made my life a rollerâ€"coaster of ups and downs, she pulled another one recently. I‘d been mutâ€" tering for months about a color TV set. Each time, she stated unequivocally, which At no time could I have cared less if she had painted is the only way she ever states, that we couldn‘t afâ€" ford it with two children at university, the mortgage, the insurance coming due, and the yak, yak, yak, Each time I subsided, as is my wont, and also because I didn‘t really care. Hardly ever watch the stupid thing anyway. presents Die Fledermaus Die Zauberflote Faust Der Freischutz Albert Herring Bill Smiley everything midnight black, but I had to pretend I carâ€" ed, or there‘d have been an outburst of tears and reâ€" criminations. ‘‘You just The other woman in my life is about as much trouble. She is more convinced than ever that capitalism is beastly, and that she is an exploited slave of the sysâ€" tem. As I was driving her home from wok the other day, she exploded bitterly, ‘"I only made eight lousy dollars in tips today! *‘ don‘t care, do you? Other men are interested in their homes. I‘m doing my best to make our home beautiful and you just sit there with that look on your face‘" I had to bite my lips so hard it drew blood. Those tips, plus her wages, made it $20 for an eightâ€"hour day. My first job paid $1 a day, for a 12â€"hour day, seven days a week. (Kim‘s opinion of the capitalist system is seasonal. It bothers her not in the least to milk the old man for a cool $2,000 when she‘s not working, but goâ€" ing to school.) It was like that with the TV set. Didn‘t I think there was too much orange? Why wasn‘t the green coming up more yvividly? I finally calâ€" led the dealer and said we‘d keep it. That‘s the way I buy a car. I don‘t shop around, trying all the models. I just walk around the beast, kick the tires, and make a deal. Finally, another woman has entered my life, out of the shadows before I was born. Back in June, when I had a birthday, I challenged readers to guess my age. Some charming people sugâ€" gested 48, 49. One miserable old editor, Jim Nesbitt of Brooks, Alta., had the inâ€" decency to suggest 54. And so on. But Mable McRoberts of New Liskeard, Ont., was dead on. She named my parâ€" ents, my older brother and sister, the street on which we lived, and described the house we lived in. She knew the exact year in which I was born. She had been a highâ€"school girl boarding in town. The people with whom she was boarding came down with"the terrible ‘flu of that era. My mother took her in for a month. Women.
