Joseph Oberholzer, Chairman Kitchenerâ€"Wateriloo Poppy Fund So, how was it? 1984 I mean. It‘s almost over, and it‘s the time of year all sorts of lists, surveys, awards, bestâ€"ofs, worstâ€"ofs and so on hit the press. I Not wishing to be any different, I‘ve got a bestâ€"ofâ€"column today, too. But when I do this type of thing, I like to develop a theme. Now there can be few arguments that 1984 will go down as the Year of the Blab, when things were said that shouldn‘t have been said, things not said that should have been said, and so on down the line. It happened in politics, sports, the arts, all walks of life. Big shots, little shots, pot shots, the list was endless. And some â€" believe it or not, yuk, yuk â€" have yet to see print until this very column. Here are some of the things you might not have heard in 1984, suitably entitled, ‘"The Best of the Blab". ‘"Mila darling, be a honey and look up the word universality in the dictionary for me." Brian Mulroney *"That thing‘s not on, is it? This is just practice." o "If my boss said 1 didn‘t say it, then 1 didn‘t say it. Na, na, naâ€"naâ€"na." _ _ Michael Wilson *‘Believe me, you‘re going to miss me alot more than I‘nf going to miss you." Pierre Trudeau *"*Looks like we took the wrong fork in the road." ‘"You stay here, when we find the right fork, we‘ll come back and get you." ‘"When the toughs get going, the going gets tough." > *‘Can‘t anybody tell the truth around here?" Ed Broadbent ‘"Least 1 show up more than the last s Konstantin Chernenko *"We should consider ourselves lucky to have a roof over our heads." ‘"Right church, wrong pew." "Go away. There‘s nobody home." Dr. Henry Morgentaler I took my second week of holidays in early November and therefore was looking for pictures to shoot in drizzle or, at best, under cloudy skies. _____ _ e c A straight print of this farmer‘s windmill surrounded by a cedar rail fence had a dull white sky so I dressed it up using a technique similar to sandwiching a negative and positive slightly off register. _ * f & _ This scene is somewhere between Orillia and Peterborough, so pack a lunch if you go looking for it.
