HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1970-05-07, Page 11On Tuesday, May 19 (8:03 p.m. E.D,T,) CBC Tuesday Night presents, Otto Klemperer—An 85th Birthday Tribute. The great German conductor, at his home in Zurich, speaks his mind on a number of subjects, (such as modern conductors), in an inter- view with Peter fleyworth, music correspondent for the London Observer. Also on the program: differing assessments of Klemperer by Roger Sessions, American composer; Manoug Parikian, former concert master with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London; and Servi Raj Grubb, the conductor's EMI recording producer. Klemperer is considered, among other things, one of the world's foremost interpreters of the symphonies of Beethoven and the musical emphasis in this program will be Klemperer conducting Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Entertainment BY KAY UUARE One of the best arguments I've seen yet for the Canadian Content regulations on radio and television was seen Sunday night on CTV. Nashville North, despite its horrid name, showed the kind of polished professionalism those supporting the content rules had claimed could be produced here in Canada, . It is already almost certain that this pilot will become a regular program next year. If it can keep up the high quality it showed Sunday night, it should be as big a hit as any American show in the same' time slot could be, especially among the younger set which is becoming an important audience to please. Host for the show was Ian Tyson who, in the last ten years, has written some of the most beautiful and popular music in North America. His "Four Strong Winds" proved that a Canadian could have a hit record in Canada without first having it reach the top of the charts in the United States, It went on to become a hit south of the border sung by Bobby Bear, who was a guest on the show too. xi Gordon tightfodt, `:'another ,:Canadian ., writerr performer, Tyson 'Mehl& trAfe'*S3j-lvia' Itianaged to sell thousands of albums in Canada, despite being almost ignored'by the men who have the most influence in the hit parade, the radio dise-jockies. Who knows how much more successful they could have been given the kind of exposure the new 30 per cent Canadian content quota on radio is designed to guarantee. That these performers have big league talent is shown by the number of their songs which have reached the top of the charts in the United States and have been often recorded by top U.S. stars such as Bear, Ian Tyson is the type of strong personality the show needs for a host. Backed by the Great Speckled Bird and pretty wife Sylvia, he gives the show a strong focal point. Add to this the first-rate talent of Ann Murray, the girl who proved that you can beCome a star on a summer replacement for Don Messer, (Singalong Jubilee), She has what it takes and if she becomes a regular CTV can count on me as one weekly viewer. ' The name, arid the inclusion of Bobby Bear on the show seemed to prove, though, that the Canadian networks still believe Canadians want American television, even if it has a made-in-Canada stamp on it. They refuse to let Canadian talent stand on its own. But even with that against it, it's good to know we can produce something better than the most recent attempt at a variety show, Countrytime, that mess CBC has been trying to pass off as Canadian talent. We can produce good programming and we must. • Sure, you can buy a cheaper lawnmower than Lawn-Boy. In fact,you could buy one every year. Some power lawn mowers cost about half as much as Lawn-Boy. Which is why a lot of people buy them. But that's also why they have to go on buying them every year or two, And why a lot of people are taking a, closer look at Latvn-Boy. Lawn-Boy has what other power mowers haven't: , Exclusive Finger-Tip start. Exclusive 2-year warranty (even our warranty lasts longer than some mowers). Exclusive grasseatcher, designed So it can't clog. 2-cycle, 3-110 engine. An automatic lubri- cation system that can't run dry— so the engine can't burn Out.

A new club for fat women was forming in my town and I jumped on the bandwagon, Actually, I jurriped on the scales firSt. I promised myself that if I was more than a certain weight (wouldn't you love to know what it was?) I would trundle off to the meeting. You guessed it. The scales shouted the awful truth that my zippers had been whispering for Weeks. So I set off for the meeting location — on foot. If I'm lucky, I told myself, I would sweat off a pound or so and the trip would not be in vain. For moral support, took a friend who isn't really fat but thinks she should shed a few pounds. As we walked along we discussed our mutual problem and didn't notice that the address we were looking for was much further out of our neighborhood than we had suspected.

We scanned the horizon. Sure enough the house we were looking fo-r was several blocks ahead., TO Me, out of shape and puffing like a locomotive, it looked. like halfway around the world, , "I'm going to need a lunch when I get there," I told my walking companion who promptly assured me there would probably be no goodies at the meeting to revive me. As we trudged along, a car pulled up alongside of us. "Are you going where we're going?", asked a friendly voice. "I don't know," I told them, even though I noticed that their bathroom scales must be overworked too. "The weight control meeting?" they suggested, "How do you suppose they knew where we were going?" I asked my friend quietly. Then I remember the picture I must present from behind. I gratefully crawled into the waiting vehicle. At the meeting I didn't really feel out of place. There were quite a few gals there who looked as though they shouldn't worry too much about their figures, but there were others like me who had a very legitimate reason for attending. Then came 'time for the weigh-in. For someone like me who avoids scales like a smallpox epidemic, it was a pretty frightening time. Never — never before in history — had I revealed my weight to anyone but my •doctor. Why even my husband is in the dark about how much I weigh. A girl has to have some secrets, after all. I was somewhat relieved to NOW FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT The CLOUD "NINE" ROOM At CLINTON Featuring SING ALONG WITH JEAN know that only two girlS in the club would know what I weighed. I Sized them UP as fairly trustworthy souls who probably wouldn't blab the information over fqtrr counties. What's more, they were two of the more hefty members of the organization, another consoling factor. They asked me to step on the scales. I did. I just flinched a little when they read the news to me, Then they measured me, top, middle and bottom. All my vital statistics were recorded in black and white. My private world had been stripped bare. "Next," they called in A business-like fashion, I sat down again with the other girls. They were chatting about the weigh-in session. "Shoes weigh about one pound," somebody remarked, "so I took mine off." "So did I," someone else echoed. • "I didn't know you could do that," I wailed. "It isn't fair. I've been cheated." "Don't worry about it," advised one member. "Just as long as you don't gain any weight this week you can still lose one pound for the books because next week you can take your shoes off when you are weighed." "Hey, that's great," I said, happy I had stumbled into that kind of mess. So next week barring any weighty accidents I'll have lost one pound. What about the upcoming weeks? Well, unless I get on those darned scales looking like a striptease artist, I'd better get on a diet and stick to it, don't you agree?

Josephine von Miklos, clistinrinished nature photographer, combines her _lifelong interests in art history and the study of beauty and design in plants in this vivid volume of horticulture. An active nature conservationist, she enjoys showing young people floral beauty through observations and pictures. Evelyn Fiore, writer of fiction and non-fiction nature books for both adults and youngsters, aadlden, s tsher brilliant *descriptive t Gardening is simply man working with nature, Man's contribution to the plant life that long preceded him, has created an artistic as well as useful value to his existence. From an anthropological point of view, agriculture was a prerequisite to civilization, In time, man awed by the wonder of plants, fashioned religious beliefs around them. The traditional Maypole dance is a survival of an ancient fertility rite, The popularity of pot gardening rose in Athens due to the harsh mountainous Greece terrain. Egypt, the ancient world's chief rose supplier, furnished the rose petals that carpeted Roman banquet floors and tables. Roses at one time were eaten as food. One well-known rose dish, called Rosee, was made from roses, nuts, sugar, spices and capon; others were floral puddings and conserves. Rose water is still available as a cosmetic and rose petals and violets are occasionally candied. The potato we eat today is a survivor of one of the many roots that were eaten. The use of herbs (pronounced with or without the "h") has been traced to 1800 B.C. Garlic was used in primitive areas to tie around children's necks for,,, warding off evil. spirits, Medieval: housewives used herbs to ' combat animal bites and various other ailments. Herbs went into love portions, poisons, stimulants, sedatives, charms, and dyes. It is surprising how many herbal preparations are still used by pharmacists today: Digitalis is made from foxglove, senna leaves are used for tea or laxative, camomile flowers produce a cosmetic hair rinse, and the Jimson weed is useful as an alleviant for asthma. A large portion of the book is devoted to modern day landscaping including how to plan a garden on paper, with many detailed items for the amateur green thumb enthusiasts. Magnified by radiant lifelike" photographs, this book will be appreciated by everyone living in the world of flowers. Thursday, May 7, 197Q THEATRE.
