I came across a quotation
in an Associated Press -wire
story recently that I haven't
been able to get out of my
mind. The story concerned
Hollywood film director
Blake Edwards, whom I
gather has had his ups and
downs. Mr. Edwards told his
interviewer and I quote: "As
Mort Sahl recently told me,
survival is the best re-
venge."
I know what he meant.
Anyone who works in a vola-
tile, high profile business
with a flock of creative egos
for colleagues, knows what
he meant. Anyone whose
work is the subject of public
criticism knows what he
meant.
If a feature film is knocked
by the critics and makes mil-
lions of dollars at the box of-
fice despite its reviews, I
suppose that is revenge of a
kind. If a politician is shafted
byy the media and the voters
re-elect him anyway, I sup-
pose there is an element of
revenge in his survival.
But if survival is the best
revenge, as Mort Sahl sug-
gests, it is because survival
isn't really revenge at all. It
can't be revenge., because
survival tends to be solitary.
It doesn't involve anyone
else. Survival, after all, is a
form of minding. -your own
business, living your own
life, no matter what is going
on around you.
The primary definition of
the word "survive" offered
by the Shorter Oxford Dic-
tionary is "to continue to live
after the death of another, or
after the end or cessation of
some thing." But the Oxford
adds that the expressed or
implied meaning is simply
"To remain alive; to live
on."

SQUEEZE PLAY
Be alert for cyclists mak-
ing turns across traffic from
the right lane, the Ontario
Safety League warns motor-
ists. And when you make a
right turn, be sure not to
squeeze a cyclist against the
curb.
I walked to work the other
morning, six miles, most of it
up the Don Valley and
through Taylor. Creek Park.
First of all, I had survived
another night. I had lived to
see another spring morning.
I had survived another
Canadian winter.
It was a thin, watery kind
of a sun at times that morn-
ing, but there was no mistak-
ing its warmth and veiled
promise of another summer.
I remember thinking that all
we need is another couple of
days of this, and the leaves
will be out. They're very
close to it now. The red -
winged blackbirds knew it.
This is their season in places
like the Don Valley. They
were calling their hearts out
that morning, because they
too had survived.
The fact that I had surviv-
ed another six mile walk is
something I don't sneeze at
anymore at 49. And the fact
that I could have walked an-
other six, would rather have
walked another six, than
come into the office, is sim-
ply more assurance that I
have remained alive, that I
live on. It is a joyous feeling.
I do not live on out of spite.
And so if survival is, as Mort
Sahl suggests, the best re-
venge, then the best revenge
is no revenge at all.

Marble floor
care
Q. We have moved into a
home that has some marble
flours in the living room. Can
you advise late as to how to
keep them bright and shiny?
They are dull now.
Would a floor polisher be
good to use on them? So far,
only cold water has been
used to clean the marble.
Thanks for any informa-
e tion you can supply. — Eliza-
beth W.
A. First scrub the floor
with clean hot water, and
with an abrasive, or use
soluble cleaner such as three
tablespoons of trisodium
phosphate in a gallon of hot
water. Then rinse with clear
wa ter.
When the marble is clean
and quite dry, apply one or
two coats of colorless ter-
razzo sealer.
Waxing with a water wax
should give a soft sheen and
provide additional protection
for the marble surface.
Q. We have had synthetic
carpeting in our apartment
for almost a year, but it is al-
ready quite soiled with many
noticeable stains probably
due to our toddler who
manages to spill various
things on the carpet.
We have tried commercial
products that are advertised
to remove stains, but we
have had no success. Do you
have any suggestians? —
Mrs. G. S.
A. Your best solution is to
have a reliable carpet clean-
er do the job.
Stains that have not been
taken care of when they are
fresh may be impossible to
remove. However, profes-
sional carpet cleaners have
special stain removers
which they use in their work.
Some stains may be perma-
nent.
Q. The house we purchased
has plastered stucco -type
walls and is about 16 years
old. The previous owner
paneled one wall in the living
room. It appears as though
the paneling was applied
with an adhesive.
Our problem is that we
want to remove the paneling,
but do not know the best pro-
cedure to avoid damaging
the wall. We will appreciate .
your suggestions. — Gail L.
F., Wilmington, Ill.
A. You will need to pry off
the paneling.
First, it may help to use a
hair dryer to warm the sur-
face area on which you are
working. This should soften
the adhesive, making the
paneling easier to remove.
If there are areas which
are gouged or cracked in the
process, you can repair them
with patching plaster, then
paint or cover with wall-
paper.
Q. We are, installing dry
wall in a new house under
construction. We would like
to put ceramic tile in the
bathrooms. Can this kind of
tile be used over dry walls?
— M.D.S.
A. Yes, but a special adhe-
sive is required. A tile dealer
can supply complete inform-
ation about the adhesive and
the installation procedure.
