_Sexual or emotional incompatibility, disparity of inâ€" terests, rotten kids, desertion, booze, insanity, to name just a few of the serious ones. Then you work your way down to the aspects that seem trivial on the surface, but can be just as rending over the grind as the big ones. 8P " ~ ns © i k _Stuff like halitosis, dandruff, body odour, nosepicking, digging wax from ears or jam from toes, and similar physiâ€" cal foibles. ¢ It‘s bewildering when you think of the number of things that can break up a marriage that began in heaven and ends up in the other place.. . $1~>% And then there are the basic differences in genes that shatter many a case of connubial bliss. Some people are yawning until the tears spurt at 9:20 p.m., and are wedded to other people who just begin to hit on all cylinders about the time the late movies begin. That‘s bad enough. But the former are the type who leap out of bed at six a.m., carolling: "Here hath been dawning another new day; think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?"* And the latter have to be dragged out of bed at the crack of noon with a block and tackle. Not much chance for them. Then there are the poor devils who put on a pound just by reading a menu, and bitterly resent their mates, who can shovel in the chocolates, pastry, whipped cream and beer, and go around remarking blithely, and smugly, "I have to eat like a horse to stay even.‘‘ Grounds for a hatchet murder. « Fortunately, his talent was recognized and in 1969 the KW Hospital commisâ€" sioned eighteen paintings. In 1970 he held his first oneâ€" man show. The National Museum of Man in Ottawa purchased a painting enâ€" titled ‘‘*Washday‘* in 1976.

Peter attended the Onâ€" tario College of Art from 1962â€"1966 and then toured the great museums of Europe. In 1969 he began painting the Mennonites seriously. His sensitivity to the comâ€" patibility that exists beâ€" tween the farmer, farm and nature probably stems from his start in landscape paintâ€" ing. â€" Peter describes the initial local reaction to his work as ‘‘*overwhelming blase".

These were inâ€" troduced about five years ago when the concept was new in Canada. Snyder has travelled exâ€" tensively and feels this has helped to enrich his work.

Too much togetherness a bad thing Another, of the fractious items in the constant domestic skirmishing is the question of who does the most work. A man, let‘s say a barber, bleats that he‘s been on his feet all day, and they‘re killing him. His erstwhile soulâ€"mate retorts that she‘s been on her kneées all day, and she‘ll kill him if he doesn‘t get out and mow the lawn. And there is plain old body temperature. Some like it hot ; some like it cool. Thus we find running battles as bedroom windows are thrown wide or slammed down; as the therâ€" mostat is viciously wrenched up to 80, and the moment the back is turned, is triumphantly twisted back to 60. Horses play a big part in many of Snyder‘s paintings. He spent many hours grooming his father‘s horses and polishing their harnesâ€" ses forthe family milk buâ€" siness. His father started the Maple Lane Dairy and ran it for 30 years until it was sold to Beatrice Foods Limited. His father, who is a vital 68, was raised on the Rudyâ€"Snyder House on Hallâ€" man Road. s of Kitchener.

M. de Aragon, Dr. H. John Lackner and Dr. Derek M. Wyse, all of Kitchener. In the same vein, an executive will reel in from work, collapse in a chair after mixing a triple martini, and go into a recitation about the overwhelming stress he‘s under: a fight with the boss; a client lost; inefficient underlings. And his "darling"‘, "sugar‘"‘, or ‘"hon‘‘ of thirty years ago will come back like a tigress with her stress: the phone rang thirteen times today ; she had a fight with the plumbers; the new drapes don‘t match anything except puke; she had to take the new car to a garage because some turkey creased her, to the tune of $300, in a parking lot. It was from his father that Peter obtained the second name of Etril. However, no one seems to know the meaning or derivation of the name. Peter‘s grandparents named their son after a friend in Pennsylvania who died without shedding any light on the question. Heck , I could go on for an hour, listing reasons that people first begin to get on each other‘s nerves, proceed to smolâ€" dering dislike, and end up in a glorious blaze of pure hatred. And I‘m sure every one of you gentle readers could add to the list. ’ I‘ll do a thirtyâ€"thousand word thesis on it someday. But for now T1‘d like to add just one item to the list that is seldom mentioned by either sociology professors or Ann Landers. This cause of fractured marriage is too much togetherâ€" ness. When a married couple spend too much time together , they not only begin looking alike, but talking alike, thinking alike and all the other alikes. The Lung Association‘s programmes include educaâ€" tion at the medical, paraâ€" medical, school and comâ€" munity levels, rehabilitation clinics and social services for patients suffering from such lung diseases as emâ€" physema, asthma â€" and chronic bronchitis, and supâ€" port of medical research. The source of revenue for the Lung Association is the annual Christmas Seal Camâ€" paign. CNN will broadcast out of Turner‘s new $23â€"million broadcasting centre in Atlanta, Georgia, with input from its news bureaus in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, San Franâ€" sisco and Miami. He has worked out a deal with our own CTV Network to proâ€" vide joint bureaus in London, the Middle East and Peking. Turner‘s most recognized onâ€"air perâ€" sonality will be Daniel Schorr. a corâ€" respondent who was fired from CBS for leaking soâ€"called secret government inâ€" The people who run the commercial networks are a little skeptical of Turner‘s new baby. They spend more than four times the money and still find the going rough. Commercial networks, both in Canada and the U.S., have been grappling with the idea of expanding the nightly news programs from the present 30 minutes to anywhere up to one hour, but it took an egotistical playboy entrepreneur to take the big step. Instead of worrying about whether or not to expand the news format, Ted Turner decided to go all out and create a network that offers news, and nothing but news, 24 hours a day for seven days a week. ; I have always been a closet news freak so, unlike the major U.S. television neâ€" tworks, I welcomed the birth of the Cable News Network (CNN), this past Sunday evening. > â€" I‘m sick of the present trend towards "giggle and jiggle‘‘ programming so prevalent on the airwaves. Give me news, nature and documentary proâ€" grams any day, and the more the merâ€" rier. Turner, a businessman and yatching enthusiast ho is a millionaire several times over, believes he can make the idea work. He is betting that his staff of more than 300, working with a budget that approaches the $25â€"million mark, can cover the world newsbeat fullâ€"time ... and hopefully grab a large segment of the viewing population away from the commercial networks while they‘re at it. A good idea questioned This was no great vision on the road to Damascus. It came to me when my wife went off for a few days in the city and I was alone, all, all, alone, on a sea of beautiful privacy. Nobody saying, ‘"Lights out, dear, you have to work toâ€" morrow,"* at midnight just when I‘m getting into the guts of a novel. I know I have to work tomorrow. Two nights she was away, I read until six a.m. As a result, they become twoâ€"headed calfs, Siamese twins, freak vegetables with two carrots growing from one seed. Repeating the same old things, bickering about the same trivial things, chewing their cabbage twice, they lose their individuality, and become both boring and bored. They are nearing the end when they start calling each other *Mother‘* and ‘‘Dad,"‘ and can spend half an hour paâ€" tiently disagreeing over a thirdâ€"rate TV show. Nobody telling me what a day she‘d had, when I‘d had a worse one. And vice versa. ‘ When she came home, of course, everything was spic ‘n span. But, she loved me so much she almost strangled me . It was mutual. Separate holidays might make that domestic cage of yours bearable. No pun intended. She thought 1‘d eaten the cooked ham she left me. I fed it to the squirrels and ate a lasagna that almost killed me. Dill pickles, ice cream, coffee a spoon would stand in. Unmade bed, unwashed dishes, cigarettes with no filters. Bloody Mary‘s for breakfast. Try it. It cost me about four hundred. Worth every cent. About once a year, I do the same : take off to a convention or into the woods. She doesn‘t miss me, loves the solitude, and I‘m delighted to be home. Waterloo Chronicle, Wednesday, June 4, 1980 â€" formation to the Village Voice newspaper several years ago. * This way we‘re going to get 24 hours of the same old thing. By the way, we won‘t be able to see the CNN until the local cable company gets around to adâ€" ding it to our cable system. ~CNN plans to build their network around their flagstaff news program which will run every evering from 8 to 10 p.m. They plan to wrap a package of Wall Street financial reports, economic and business news along with a lengthy sports broadcast around the major twoâ€" hour news program. § The lineup of commentators ranges from politicians to social activists.

Turner has been raiding the existing networks for his talent. He has managed to dangle exorbitant salaries in front of writers, anchormen, newsmen, cameraâ€" men and all the other technicians asâ€" sociated with such a business and sucâ€" cessfully lured them to his network. If he really wanted to do something unique, Turner should be collecting his staff from schools with journalism and technical programs. That would offer the public some bright new faces and hopefully some new and original ideas. Nothing new there. We‘re going to see the same people reading the same news gathered and written by the same people who have been providing this service for us for years ... its just going to be comâ€" ing at us over a longer period of time. that‘s all.
