This is
the poster displayed with the album
of hand,
North America's number one sex Per is a
-twb-record- rock ' opera' -'entitled '11 Jesus
Christ:Supe'rstar".
It has been panned, • banned and
criticized by many. But it has obviously
'been appreciated by many more.
We said last week that we liked the
music and words and we fail •t& see how
•
some sacreligiau.s.
n term'• it
M The opera, itself itis based on Vit,: - last
seven days ,in the life of Jesus. Christ
which ends'with his crucifixion.
• The singers portray Judas Iscariot,
Jesus Christ, • Mary Nfagdalene, Priest,
.Caiaphas, • 'high priest, Annas, Simon
ZeaI,otes, Pontius Pilate, Maid\ by The
Fire, Peter and'King• Herod.
The whole crux of the musical itself is
those last'seven days set to Modern music.
• •And it ' i's apparently the modern music
that upsets a number of people. T
.. But since last week we have talked to
,Ministers,, priests, four record shop owners
and one conductor 141 have ^said that
/ :these two records are 'getting the message'
across to the younger generation. And.7.
isn't this what counts?
The song, most: probably heard 'on
radio, is fast approaching the number one
position on the . hit parade and it is
entitled -simply, "Superstar','.
,The voice of Judas:
• Everytime I , look at you. I .don't
understand
Why you Jet the things you did get so outs
'You'd• have managed better if you'd had it
planned,
Why'd you choose such a backward time
and such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would • have
reached a whole nation,
Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass
communication,'
Don't get.. me wrong I only'want to
know.
• Choir:
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you
ar e
Superstar is the final 'sequence before
the Crucifixion, which hears Jesus saying:
God' forgive ,them — they don't know
what th•ey're'doi.ng -
Who is my ' mother,? Where is my mother
My God my God why have.you•forgottenb
me?
1 am thirsty
ltrsfinished'
Father into •.youir hands I commend my
spirit.
The conclusion is John 19,:41.
Before you condemn Jesus Christ
Superstar, we,ask one of two things - go
Out and buy the album or contact us at
the " Signal -Star office, we Would • be
pleased to lend you the records and book

Thank you.

It is good that•we, have our parks and
natural areas but opportunities to see a
Wildflower blooming in lonely loveliness -
are diminishing so rapidly that we must
curb our impulse to pick and destroy
when we are .privileged ,to encounter
them. '

green Peaces• t` manufacture food for next
year's bloom. Picking the plant stops this,
-function, resulting in its disalppearance. —
According to the F.•O.N.,•will orch`'ids,
such as the Lady's-slippers, should be left
where they grow. Orchids take - many
years to flower from send.'Picking ;them
r••
•means ,that they cannot seed, and future
colonies suffer.
The lovely Blue Gentians, if picked,
cannot set seed and, as' 'ri the case of the
orchids, this results in di inished colonies
of this plant.
Transplanting wildflowers. to a location
foreign to where they are growing is the
surest way,to destroy them. They 'are very
particular in their soil and habitat
requirements, and without exceeding skill',
taking them to another location is a waste_
of time and plant. — °
The Federation of Ontario Naturalists
suggests that we share our wildflowers
with others,,,by leaving them alone.

feel that the officer's action was
completely unwarranted.
This harrassment seems to be
'part of a growing trend by police
