SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley Armdis and Yanks Just a few observations on .he can do something for some - life in general, -this week. I body. This brings us, by a logical association;-of..ideas,..to noclern theatre. It's concerned with the very same thing: a man trying to prove ,himself. The deer hunter would laugh at the playwright, and the playwright would laugh at the deer hunt- er. Each would think the other was emotionally crippled. I sad a play last weekend that would have made my little old mother's hair stand on end. Even though -she wouldn't have understood it. It is called For- tune and Men's Eyes. Some of the language was straight off the walls of a public lavatory. It's a play that will shock and sicken some people. tetnd perhaps this is not a bad,i.dea. Tt has pathos and a macabre hi...nor. But lavatory walls are a 'Part of life. There's no sand to put your head in, Only the` toilet bowl. ,And, while this is one way of washing your hair,' it is not highly recommended. This, again by a logical asso- ciation of ideas, brings us to hair. Hair on head is good. We'll agree to that. The bald- ing man suffers. The balding woman dies a thousand deaths. (deer, not people), I'd fight it. Hair on legs is good if you're a But the deer population is in- ' man, bad if you're a girl, Same with arms. Chest? No question.

Because it's the only place in the world where he can escape from com- mittee meetings, a nagging wife, a shrilling telephone, and rotten kids w}fi ' personality defectsi It's • the only place in the world where he can get backto the primitive pleasures of man: rude jokes around the fire; a sense of companionship that has nothing to ' do with money or position; the feeling of battle against the elements; the absence of all stress except. the physical; the ' eating of half -burned meat; the belching anelireaking of wind; the dreamless sleep of an animal after a day of exhaustion. The killing of the deer is unimportant. He has proved to himself, by George, that t's a little juice in carcasshereyet, that he can taketheold it without whining, and that he's liked for himself, not because. Rev.

Better known as the Brain Drain.- And every winter, .we ,.send then our rich people, hundreds of thousands, to bol- ster the sagging economies of Florida and California. And what do they send us? Draft dodgers. Deer hunting. A lot of peo- ple are against it. Not me. In fact, if I •weren't a teacher, I'd take a week off every fall and join the great slaughter of the deer. Slaughter? There are 10 times as many people killed on the highways as there are deer in the bush. If I thought the species would be wiped out creasing, chiefly because there are so many lousy hunters, I admit that no completely sane• man goes deer hunting.
