Monday holidays are
wonderful - until the bubble
bursts and you find yourself
at work Tuesday morning.
And if it's in the News -Record
office with a Tuesday noon
deadline - you 'begin to feel
like one of . the balls in an
activated Wntario machine -
and your soul cries "let me
out of here". ..
And then, there's that
frightening time lapse bet-
ween the printing deadline
and . the finished product
when you suddenly • realize
someone stopped you on the
street and asked you to cancel
their ad for a lost one legged
parrot and you torture
yourself trying to decide
whether you remembered to
do just that. At last you have
the paper and, trembling, you
look and look and look - - - and
there it is a "lost leg", - but
where is the parrot?? Horrors
- blame it on a Tuesday -after
a Monday holiday.

From up here
by Shelley McPhee
I've always enjoyed television comedies- and have
always been a faithful viewer, but over this past year my
opinion of comedy shows is slowly sinking
In this past time, a number of great tragedies have
appeared on these shows. It first began when Maclean
Stevenson died in M -A -S -H, when Archie Bunker un-
derwent a serious operation, Florida's husband died, Ted
Baxter had a' heart attack, later the entire news staff at
WJM-TV was fired and Joe and Rhoda separated.
Although the names are familiar, thecharacters from
some of television's' best known comedy 'shows, the
situations don't fit the humorous concept behind the
programs.
Tragedy and desperate times are now finding their
way to. so-called comedy shows and television viewers
can no longer get away from doctors, lawyers and
detectives.
The original rhea behind many of these situation
comedies. was to take an. unpleasant aspect of life and
make it more liveable and l'ighthea'rted. Such as the
working class in "All in the Family", the war in "M -A -S-
1-1" and the ghetto in "Good Times". -
The concept of taking these real life plots and showing
the problems of real people in a situation.,comedy was a
good idea, but a certain sameness and stagnancy came
over the Norman Lear and ary Tyler Moore pillness
produc-
tions. Changes ,were made andtrenda of deaths,
and defeat have effectively turned these Emmy award-
winning shows into cheap drama.
To compensate for the lack of humour on today's
television old "I Love Lucy", "Leave it to Beaver",
"Bewitched" and "My Three Sons" re -runs are now
filling in the blank space.
• Could this be a reflection on our society? There is little
to laugh about in our all -too -serious world. People must
now look to the past for a little fun and lightheartedness
since today's television comedies offer no relaxation or
.enjoyment.
The ridiculous humor of "Bewitched" and the perfect
family set-up in "Leave it to Beaver" are still the best
comedies. After all, these shows 'weren't plagued with
super -seriousness: Ward and June cleaver never faced
divorce; Ricky Ricardo never lost his job and Gilligan
never contacted any fatal tropical disease.
At that time, writers and viewers assumed that these
ideas could not be injected into a comedy show, but now it
seems to be an accepted thing.
Some may think that these old comedy shows are now
obsolete for today, but if you notice, most of them are still
on our television screens and they're still making people,
or at least me, laugh.
However, our modern day comedies seem to show that
we've been programmed to think too seriously and seem
to have lost our sense of humor.

Pn addition to the special
activities taking place this
month, the regular weekly
activities will continue. This
yeti will be wondering why Thursday, the 8 to 14 year -
limericks are running golds coming to our craft

quickly and acurately, with
several prizes to be awarded
to the winners.

be sure to drop into the
library and share in the fun of

My husband has a hearing
deficiency and a hearing aid
consultant assured him that
he could be helped by pur-
chasing one of their machines.
The problem is that this
consultant does NOT belong to
the Hearing Aid Association.
was under the impression that
they had to be a member in
order to practice.
Can you clear this matter up
for me, please?
There's no law in Ontario as
yet that compels a hearing aid
consultant to belong to the
Ontario Hearing Aid
association.
To be a mdmber of this
association he, or she mug
attend and graduate from a
one year course at Sheridan
College consisting of a

course plus a practical
examination.

If the government lifts the
anti-inflation controls, will
that affect the current rent
control act?
Yes it will, unless . the -
Province passes amending
legislation. The present Rent
Review program has the same
expiry date as the AIB which
is, December 31st, 1978. This
means that rent increases are
currently tied to the 8 perc
guidelines set for wages.
This restricts a landlor
only one increase a year, 'and
he also must give a tenant the
reason in writing for the
proposed increase and this has
to be done three months in
advance.
Summary conviction for
offences range from $2,000 for
individuals to as much as
$25,000 for companies.
