,About 34 years .ago tonight, for
example, I was climbing over a,'
garden wall with my shirt stuffed
with` ,grapes, when a voice of un.,
earthly loudness • ,and ferocity
shouted: "um you;" My. heart
leaped .into my mouth, I leaped to
the• ground;: that grapes. popped out:
of my ahir;t ;l}t}4,4, taoolt off. like an;:

'by oPtraged roars and heavy boots,

bed, did ? regret my wielkedness,
revile mYseif for iihattering one
of the ten commandments, and
swe1r.I;d never do it :again?. -Ivor
much. What I did was regret the
grapes, revile myself for being half
scared; to death and swear; a return
visit to the orchard as, soon as the
heat was 'off, •
That's what .I mean, To -day, I'd
never consider doing Such, a thing.
Oh, I might give my golf ball a
very small k. ick if it Was in a par-
ticularly bad lie in the rough, and
nobody: was looking, I rniight tell
my wife that I'd paid the hydro
bill in time to get the discount li
when I knew perfecly well that lit
via` s • in my hip pocket, unpaid. But
I'd never dream of doing anything
dishonest, .dike stealing grapes.
Othen•people are •the sames. The

Not' lgng,i••ago"we visited an old
'acquaintance; a, woman. in her late
Males, She hada teenage °daugh
ter who was. out to a, dance that
,night: The girl was to be home
by . one, As the hour neared, her
mother kept breaking off her talk
about her church activities and
glancing 'at the clock, At . one-
fifteen, she was fit to be tied. The
kid showed up about - one -thirty,
You should have heard her mother.',
You'd have thought the youngster
was completely depraved.
Later, as she sdrved' a cup of
tea and vehemently wondered -what'
was . going to become of these un-
disciplined, irresponsible teenagers,
I couldn't help'easting my mind
back: • Twenty years ago .our hos
tess had been a regular young rip,
whose specialties were . drinking
gin out of the bottle in the rumble
seat of roadsters, and' going for
mixed midnight swims au naturel.
Recently I spent a week -end with
an old college friend. He' had disc
tinguished himself at•the univer-
sity;. not. through his , athletic or
academic prowess, but because of
his incredible' memory for 'the
words and obscure ,tunes,of "Riley's
Daughter",'hexe Was •A;n Old
Monk of Great Renown", and other
such bawdy but deathless ditties.
Saturday night I tried to get a song
or two out of him, but he was
strangely reticient. Inthe old days
you had to hold him down and
stuff •aiock in his.mouth to make
him stop .singing.
Next morning, ,Sunday;''he acted
kind,, of mysterious. Wanted, me to
go for a walk with him. 1 thought
he was
taking me to the bootleg-
ger's,
eg
ger's,. and was about to demur, but
decided to humour pim, and went
along. When ..we got there it seemed
a funny place to find a bootlegger,
;bot you never know. Five minutes
later my mouth was : still hanging

Gross revenue that year was $27,000
with a,'staff of 13: Ten years later
CKNX had a gross annual revenue
of 20(000 and a staff of 35.
With ;television on the horizon,

we .called him The Count in those
days, because he was reputedly,.
and enviedly, living in sin with a
beautiful, rich Belgian countess.
He was a big handsome, devil-may-

We chatted. He was ;a little fat,
a little_ bald, pretty dull; "Remem-
ber whenwe used to call you The

establish 'common ground.. He mut-
tered something ' like "count me'

monologue on the . work he was
doing with juvenile ` delinquents,
througli'a church group. He finally
ran out of breath, there was an
awkward pause, .then: "Guess you

heartily, turning to a large. 'red-:

eating a vast sundae. It was `not
