SUGAR

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.

take a week off every fall and

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

are so many lousy hunters,
I admit that no completely

Seven-year-old socialites have a way
