A Crossroads -March 16, 1983 -Page 5 iiiiimmmenvams. Bill Smiley ander thoughts imistimmigiegow Random thoughts on a dreary March day, with a terrible head -cold, about the fourth this winter. About which many people have been most unhappy. For ski and snowmobile en- thusiasts, ski resort opera- tors, ice fishermen and snowplow owners, this win- ter has been the pits. For people who get sick to death of shovelling snow, of driving in blizzards, of wad- ing to the thighs through snowbanks to get to work, this winter has been a boon. I'm in the second category, but I'm not raving about this particular open winter. I don't like bitter cold, and I detest battling snow. However, it's been a dreary winter. Too much rain, mud, ice; too little sun. Dull day after dull day makes Jack a dull tool, and even the winter worry -wart would like to see a bit of sun- shine. It's also been a rotten win- ter for the health. I don't know whether the wild swings of temperature have anything to do with anything, but I've never seen so many people so lingeringly ill with 'flu and colds. Seems that a bright, cold crispy winter is better suited to the Canadian physique than the kind of hermaphrodite we've been through this year. Besides the head, it's been a tough winter on the other end, because of freezing rain. I wonder how many Canadians busted their bums this winter, slipping on ice. Recently, I slithered out the back door, skidded down the back steps, and went on hands and knees to the car. Arrived at the school park- ing lot, which was like a skatingrink, and almost wiped out a couple of cars when I tried to stop. Crept from car to school like ancient Chinese coolie. Score for the day was: one teacher with badly broken wrist, one teacher with badly wrenched back, on teacher's wife with badly bent head. Didn't mind the broken wrist. It was only a guidance teacher. But I was fed up with the rest. The wrenched back belonged to one of my English teachers, and I had two missing already. He'd come down his (un- salted) front steps, taken a flier, and landed on his not inconsiderable back. Thought he'd shake off the pain and shock, drove his daughter to school, and by this time was ready to head for the hospital. Had just checked in to tell the great white sahibs of his inten- tions, when he got a phone call saying his wife had gone down their steps (still un- salted) in similar fashion, knocking her head hard on every step. They went off to the hospital hand in hand. I can put up with teachers staying home with minor things like heart attacks, but when they take a day off for a twisted back, just because they can't get out of their car, or up from a chair, that's a bit much, forcing me to soldier on with hangnails and a corn on the sole of my foot. Hoping to cheer myself up, I took a look at the fashion page in the newspaper, fea- BILL EIRAIIVIAWS ONTARIO Just outside off Guelph there's an unusual work- shop. It houses a collection of some of the most beat -up derelicts you've ever seen. A bunch of battered player pianos, organs, nickelo- deons, and even early juke boxes. But give Ron Schmuck and his staff time to work on them, and the old crocks are tuned into classic beauties. Then they are carefully carted to the Mississauga showroom of what Ron calls "The Great Canadian Nickelodeon Company". I spent a day with Ron, his wife, Sue, Melanie, Dawn and Jim (that's the entire staff), learning the ins and outs of how they perform their miracles of restoration. They're a happy group. They obviously love the work and take pride in meticu- lously repairing, replacing and refurbishing what often appears to be just a pile of junk. I found the player pianos the most interesting. Especially ,one of them a baby grand! The first I'd ever seen. The piano rolls go in a concealed slot under the keyboards. There are well over 3,000 rolls of music lining the walls of the showroom which in- clude songs that go back to the turn of the century. Ron started the company five years ago and says that the demand for the antique instruments is increasing constantly. He thinks it's be- cause "people are going back to basics - back to closer family ties. The pianos seem to fit into the picture." He runs into some interest- ing situations while travel- ling around buying the mechanical music makers. In one case, a little old lady's will was found in the back of a discarded player piano. Another time, Ron was look- ing over a battered piano and discovered valuable old coins in it. And where do you find these historic musical treas- ures? "Just about any- where," says Ron, "in base- ments, barns or Aunt Millie's parlor." turing the new spring models. by Chanel of Paris. Thank the Lord I'm not a woman. That peek at the paper would have plunged me into a deep depression. Here are some of the items: "The deceptively demure _ dinner dress in navy silk with a wide waistline defined by stitching, $1,150; the re- vised Chapel suit has a crop- ped jacket over a slender skirt, $1,950, worn over a tucked silk blouse, $500. Sep- arates are a $795 knit cardi- gan and a wrap skirt, $475. How would you like to read that if your old man had just been laid off, indefinitely? For a miserable $4,800 you get a dinner dress, a suit, and a casual outfit. None of which you could wear more than once, twice at the out- side. Some idiot once remarked that the poor are always with us. They are indeed, but that's obvious. Not so ob- vious is the fact that the rich are always with us, come hell, high water, shaky economy, unemployment, downright depression. Something else that failed to cheer me up this winter was The Night of the Long Knives, when the Tory party once more made a national ass of itself by indulging in its favorite game: cutting its leader into little chunks and throwing them to the wolves. Hear those Liberals laugh- ing? Oh, the winter hasn't been all dark and gloomy. My tail- pipe has not fallen off. Yet. My rubber boots haven't sprung a leak. My wife has wracked up neither the car nor the garage, as is her wont. One more cheery note. My old lady finally bought a stereo outfit, and she plays it so loud she can'ttalk to me, though she tries, oh, she tries, mouthing words while 1 just put my hand to my ear. Sometimes I even get the paper read. And there's a bonus. The kids gave us a ragtime and a couple of jazz records for Christmas. After forcing the classics on longsuffering me for years, the old girl has discovered she loves jazz. Unfortunately, she has in- somnia, and gets up about 4:30 a.m. About 5 a.m., I am awakened by the booming of ragtime, dixieland, or far- out modern jazz shaking the very foundations. I like it, but there is a time and a place. Yes, it's been an odd sort of winter. How about yours? Beautify your neighbourhood. Get out on the street. Take a walk. nunv�ms4141 tr:Jk a Motk: G.I MON outs IMPS Loft Family dining in a relaxing, rustic atmosphere.
