Ottauta this week when the Board
of Broadcast overnOrs-hears the
application of the CTV affilaates
to buy the network. A Hamilton
group wants to buy ,it, as does a
station in Moncton. And then,
there's a group of people who call
themselves The Canadian 'Broad-
casting League, who would pro
pose to run it as an educational
network and remove all entertain-
ment programs. 'These people are
a bunch of nuts who haven't got a
chance in hell of getting their app-

there to make noise. They're

• George is ,the , Custodial Sun
perintendent at otir illiteracy
factory. (It used to be called
head janitor.) I, congratulated
him the other day. His wife. had
"done well," as we say, in a mu-
sit theory exain.
Be shook his head. He swore.
'Then, "It'd drive you up the
wall If I ever get married
again, it . won't be to a musi-
cian."..• •• --
There isn't much chance of •
the former, as he's a grandfath-
er. But I was deeply in sympa-
thy with his conclusion:
• It was obvious that George
had had to help his wife prepare
for her exam. It was on the his-
tory of music. They ask you
questions like* "What instru-
ment did Eli Schwartzkopf play
in the Brandenburg Symphony
Orchestra on •April eleventh,
,1801, when Napoleon Bonaparte
• was staying in the ' city oyer-,
night, with, his second wife; on
• the way to the battle of Mister -
fits'?"
But this isn't the work of it.
. A chap can stand a couple of
weeks of helping his wife me-
morize such great mniversai,
truths, and weather it.
• What really gets him' on his
knees is putting up with the old
lady as the exams draw near.
Kids* go through examinations
with the aplomb of ducks 'taking
a bath. But middle-aged ladies
• don't, especially when they ha-
ven't written an exam in years.
About three weeks before the
• exam, they begin to, neglect
family, house and themselves. A
week later, they become ner-
vous. In the final week, , they
have moved from high C to hys-
teria. On the day of the exam, it
takes tears, tea, tranquilizers,
and sometimes a good shot of
brandy,before they can be
pushed into the .examination
hall, where they sit twitching
like old fighter pilots until the
papers are given out.
I don't know the details, but, L
suspect George went through
somethinglike the above, and I
echo his sentiments, loud mid
clear. . If I ever . get married -
again, "want a girl who thinks a
sweet potato is about the finest
musical instrument that ever hit.

They're right. But it's' not the
beauty of the music that makes
the break down: It's the trouble
it has caused, and the money it "
has cost in the last 10 years.
I used to love music, in a Sim- •
