Lobbat Blyth Festival’s Gala Auction on Saturday night. Theactress stars in the Japanese production

ties rallied around families burned
out of their homes. They gave
money and clothes and furniture
but later, some people were per
turbed about the way the people
behaved with the things they were
given.
You can’t blame people for
having a proprietory sense about
the Joey Philions of the world and
you can’t blame the Joey Philions
from getting a little tired of feeling
they are “owned” after a while.
Which is why we got into many
of the government support pro
grams we now have. Many people
think we should be doing more
through private sector charities and
less through universal programs as
we do. Older residents may recall
the reason we got universal pro
grams in the first place was to take
away the sense of “charity” about
helping others. Needy seniors who
would never have accepted old age
assistance took it because every
body was getting it and there was
no stigma attached and no sense
that they were beholding to those
who gave. That may be one reason
to universality in family allowances
and old age pensions may not be
done away with easily.

Richard Lobb, one of the Festi

auctions, I used to put odds and
ends in a box and auction it off as a
“tomorrow box” - buy it today and
look at it tomorrow.” Anne Chislett

used it for the title of her play
