collapsed on a chair thirty seconds before the
meeting began?
At last, you has clime to relax and to think;
'"Whew! I nuale it. I never got ready so fast In
ail my life," Then comes the horrifying
though t: ;;t must base forgotten something!"
You take a quick yet subtle glance to assure
yourself that ,yoti're w caring all your Clothes
and that the essential fasteners are fastened,
If you can't excuse yourself to another room to
check more closely. you. take a . mental
inventory, relying Ott your. memory to tell you
whether you combed your'hair, -whether one
elid is blue and the other is green, whether
you arc wearing one earring or two and'
• whether your shoes match.
If no one is staring at you and it' you dop*t
hear a ehorusolgiggles behind your back, you
can be fairly certain you look alright. Then you
begin to wonder sslitt else you could have
forgotten.
Ironically people often forget the most
important things for their line of work, For
example, a minister forgets his sermon, • a
speaker forgets his speech,. a secretary forgets
the minutes of the- last miming, a stinlent,
forgets his books, and so. on.
The solution to the problem depends an the-
person atnd the situation, Sometimes it calls
hireonfesSion apologizing ,cashing-htmte- -to
- Kct the item or Ealingit.
Si) far, I've been lucky and haven't
f'or'gotten anything 'essential:. The next time
I'm late, don't worrs;^ I'm just checking.

Art authorities have labelled
Mr. Marcussen's work everything
from German Expressionism to
work in the vein of the-American
artist Rockwell,
— The artist himself, said he's
basically trying to, entertain in his
work, so his portraits are some-
times humorous and sometimes
serious.
One of the humorous pictures
in the lsaaes shows features two
iddle-aged women riding
le3'8les through the park, while
rte of the more serious portraits
hows the artists's sister Pia
cleaning the kitchen table,
Mr, Marcussen works largely
from black and white photographs,
which allow him to create his own
colours for the portraits.
The paintings sell from $500 to
$1,000 a piece and Mr.
Marcussen hopes the sale of
paintings from his upcoming
shpw will finance him for the next
nine months, long enough to
collect 20 works for a one-man
show. ".
The artist also works part-time
in a Toronto antique shop to help
finance his art career.
While he admits 'money' is
always a problem "when you'rg
an artiSt", there's little d9ubt the.
Isaacs 'show is an important step
in his career.
Also, as the artist's uTottier,
Mrs. paula Marcussen said,
Prebenmhas always been willing
to sacrifice and willing to work
hard."
• Only time can tell whether the
sacrifices will prove worthwhile,
but the artist is already
considered someone in the
Torontn art scene whose works
"should, be seen."

"SiX on the scene who should
be seen" is the intriguing title of.
a Toronto exhibition which
includes the work a Preben
Marcussen; a 'forriter resident of
Seaforth.
The mixed media show, which
features the work of six upcoming
artists on the Toronto art scene,
open...eri April 8 in the city's
prestigious Isaacs' Gallery, 832
Yonge Street..
The works in, the show were
selected, ley Avrom Isaacs, the
gallery's owner, to give aspiring
artists who aren't represented by
any gallery. a change to Introduce
their .work to the public.
Preben Marcus-sen, who
graduated from Seaforth District
High School in 1974, is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Aage Marcussen of
Seaforth.
Although Preben has always
been interested in things artistic,
his first creative venture wasn't in
the art field.
After graduating• from high
school, hoc spent the summer
working on an assembly line in a
Stratford factory and the
experience produced the. seeds
for a book.
The book, - a collection of
poems, is titled The Unripe
Zoanthropy , .Theory, with zoan-
throphy being a type of insanity
where people imagine they're
- i in ars'
— Mr. 14,rcussen, who admits
the poems are 'partly autobio
graphical and stem from . the
hotedom of the assembly line,
took his early manuscript to Alice
Munro, 'then. , the writer-in-
resiaciiee at the University of
Western Ontario.
Local_ man In
' Ms. Munro was entITI-Siastic
abobt the idea for the b olt. and
encouraged 'Mr. rcu4s n to
apply for a Can ouncil g ant.
The Canad I awarded a
grant to the Se 'orth native And
he completed his manuscript over
an _eight month period while
living'in Chatham. The collection
still hasn't found a publisher.
After finishing his book, Mr.
Marcussen moved to Toro
where his new interest in art led
him to start Painting seriously,
and eventually to 'applying for,
another Canada coimeil grant.
The artist, who works in the
medium of oil pastels, completes
.large scale works, ofte
measuring two feet by three
in size, l which are always
portraits. •
Mr. Marcussen is. largely self-
' taught and admits he inherits his
talent from his father, who has
always "d bbled in art."
e artist considered
attending the. tario Art College
• (OAC), advises told NIT..
Marcussen he h d a "unique
style" ' which c shouldn't
endanger by king formal
training.
Prior to the Is acs show, Mr.
Marcussen's wor had appeared
in two mindr sh ws in Rosedale
-and two pain ings hang in
Toronto hanks. •
Mr. Isaacslawthe artist's work
at the home of one of- Mr.
Marcussen's sponsors:and hopes
to later offer the artist a one-man
'show.
In the meantime, half of the
eight works by Mr: Marcussen in
the -upcoming show are already
sold. •

My trouble started when the speed limit _
was'lowered. I forgot to give myself extra time
to get where I was going. As a result: either
the speed limit or my time of arrival' hod to
change. I adMit my fibt often became heavy
on the gas pedal. tia then I decided it was
better td arrive late than never and better to
arrive apologizing for being late than fuming
over a traffic ticket.
Besides I had written a column in favour of
the lower speed limit because I felt it was a
significant safety, measure, and if I 'had
• received a ticket fin speeding, I would have
fallen,-prey to a lot of wisecracks.
• .1 told myself I'd just have to leave earlier,
b,ut budgeting my time proved as difficult as
budgeting my money. Instead of giving myself
more time to get ready, I scented ti) he getting
