And it is devastating to learn that you had nodded off, and your wife is bashing you In the ribs, just as the point where the celebrated Mists B. is making a monkey of the censors. It was about this point that I began thinking of busts. Don't, ask me why. It seems to me that the whole business of busts has got out of hand. Everywhere we look, we are stunned by deep - breathing mammalians of mammoth pro- partioris. Boys who can't spell their own first names can rat- tle off bust measurements. High school girls practically break their backs trying to stick their chests: oat another half-inch. So whose impressed? Other girls, ma'ybe? Not men. Men, have been marrying women for thousands of years, and busts have had nothing to do with. it. Let tenderness, humor and sympathy show in your face, let goodness and pity and love shine in your eyes, and you'll get ,a man faster than if you had the biggest bust this side of Bali. * Busts cause nothing but trouble. I remember a girl I knew at college. Her name was Betsy. She' had a vast bosom. I always called her "Busty," to myself. One night I was dancing with her, lean- ing a bit. We were chatting, and I inadvertently called her "Busty" instead of "Betsy." Kniow what happened? You got it,. Mac. She bust me. Right on the nose. ' And Maybe that's why I've been a little psychological about busts ever since.

The New Democratic Party is al- most certain to have a nominating con- vention and to place a candidate in the running. They are working throughout the province, and in fact across the country, Observers note with interest that candidates are in many eases educators, or farmers, or both. This party seems to hold fascination for rural people, and they appear to see for themselves some of the answers to their personal problems. , The Social Credit organizers are also at work, setting up pre-nomination rallies throughout Huron. Just what interest will be aroused in the few short weeks prior to the official nomination dates is interesting to contemplate. Social Credit has said that they will contest every riding. Who will be chos- en in Huron? If these two parties name candi- dates, what effect will that have upon the well-being of the "old parties"?

ELECTION TIME in Huron riding promises to be gnite exciting this spring, There are many of the elements of an old-time melodrama, First of all, there is the one candi- date officially in the ring. Ernie Fisher, a "self-made man" as a fellow-towns- man described him, is Goderich's works ing mayor and Huron's Liberal flag bearer. Not self-employed, not retired, Mr, Fisher has earned for himself a place in the hearts' of the citizens of Goderich who have made him their mayor for several sessions. He has tak- en leave of absence from his industrial job in order to stump the hustings and is already out and about the busi- ness. Next candidate, will almost with- out doubt be the election-wise Elston Cardiff, .who has come up through municipal politics, into county govern- ment and then through opposition, into government with the Diefenbaker Con- servatives, to his present job as assist- ant to the Canadian Minister of Health. He won't have his nomination until May 9, when Huron Conservatives get together with the Hon. George Hees, as special speaker. But Mr. Cardiff has helped to get Huron the reputation of being a "traditional Tory riding", and he'll be at work as soon as he gets back to his Brussels farm home. He 50 Percent Canadian Sports even in the playoff season. On the other hand—after we have sat through a gruelling two hours with the Toronto Maple Leafs, worrying that some egg-throwing Black Hawk fan will plant an un-cooked omelet on Sim- mons head, it is quite unnecessary for the CBC newscaster to tell us over again that Toronto has won, and for the local sportscaster to say the same thing a few minutes later. After all, the very existence of the hockey game has pushed newstime and sportscast time on many minutes into the night. The person who is waiting up to hear how the world and the two Mr. K's are making out; has already heard who won the hockey game. WE ARE NOT particularly ,sports- minded, and probably enjoy hockey so much because it is a fast-moving game without any need to understand more that the surface rules. However we have a suggestion to make, which would if implemented, help bOost the "nation- al feeling". When the Board of Broadcast Governors is considering that 55 per- cent Canadian content in broadcasting —why not take a really close look at the Canadian content of sportscasting on TV? We're heartily sick of hearing a list of scores for ball games of all sorts in the United States being rhymed off from some local stations . . . and not hearing anything at all of the standings of Ontario teams — hardly A Spot Of Fun HAD A SPOT OF FUN yesterday as we did a one-woman limited survey of the thought of Clintonians about the national anthem. The need for a survey came about because of the NHL series. • Down in Chicago, where they are confused about the proper deportment of fans in a hockey rink, they are also confused about Canada's national an- them. At' a game a week ago they an- nounced the national anthems and then played the Maple Leaf Forever, along with the "Oh Say Can You See?" But we thought this might have been a special tribute to their opponents, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Then Sunday night the national anthem they chose to play for Canada was "0 Canada". Well, we chortled again, and decided that those folk in Chicago were real gone. They do have a reputation of being against royalty, even though they welcomed our royal pair a few years ago with packed streets. At this point we were sure that Canada's national anthem is "God Save the Queen". At public gatheringS in Clinton there is no doubt what is meant when the national anthem is announced. People turn with one ac- cord to the nearest picture of Queen Elizabeth, snap to attention and sing with gusto and reverence. It was "God Save the Queen" which ended every performance lin the Roxy theatre 'be- fore the News-Recorded moved in, and it is "God Save the Queen" that ended every 'political rally we've been at in the past decade. We were Sure. Then in Tuesday's Globe and Mail there was a letter to the editor from a Vancouver chap, protesting that Chicago bid for the "Maple Leaf", and stating, "I've always thought that the national anthem was "0 Canada". We were floored. Then we chuckled. He's all mixed up, we thought. But off we went on our one-woman limited survey. Two men in the restaurant in which we surveyed spoke up for "God Save the Queen". Two men in the same restaurant said "0 Canada". With the score even we quit. No longer are we sure about any- thing. Except that "Isn't it a fine wide wonderful country, where everyone is happily sure about opposite things, and no one worries enough about the situa- tion to lose his temper over it." (By W. B. T.

I became, first embarras- sed, then mildly disapproving, then bored, then just plain sleepy. About halfway through this' process, I had sense enough to 'say to! mystelf, "Boy, either you're ready to be put out to pasture, or you need a dam' good spring basic." !' I 'can tell you that it's pretty disturbing to a chap who has leered his way through the burlesque hauset of Detroit's Woodward Ave., in the heighs clay of Scurvy Miller, eaten peanuts in the pit at the old Casino in Toronto, and ducked out for a drink between rounds of pure art at Leadbn's Wind- mill Theatre, to realize that he's. blushing Slightly • at the sight of a young lady who is not only not there in person, but has ,some of her clothes on. It's chilling to think that, perhaps, -the young sap has been boiled down to an :old fudge. When you know that you're supposed to be sitting bolt upright, wide-eyed and electrified, it hurts to realize that you are slumped in your seat, hand in the popcorn bag, month pursed primly, head shaking and tongue very close to We-tutting in disapproval. It is disconcerting to find that you are craving a 'smoke in the Middle of a big Nab Scene.

That's like saying you started thinks Mg of music while you were watching an orchestra play. But no matter. And just to get things! per- fectly clear, I don't mean busts of famous men, reproduc- ed in plaster, and sitting on a pedestal. I mean busts on ladies. The disgusting 'part of in is that I started thinking about buats in a clear, cold, scientific, analytical way. As Gypsy Rose Lee, or Gertrude Stein, or somebody; once said, "A bust is a bust is a bust." And that's the way I feel about it. It 'happened while I was watching Mille.
