tittering coag
In 1.968, motorists :travgyed
26 biliian nines within the
Province pf Ontario. And in just
one day _tact July managedto
scatter I,,3Q6 pieces of litter
along ono mile of one Millway,
Multiply this by the *3,00Q
miles of Ring's and Secondary
Highways in Ontario and you
can imagine the major clean-up
that faces the Department of
Highways as motorists take to
the highways for the summer
holidays..
Last year's bill for cleaning up
Ontario's h,ighWays topped
$970,000, DHO maintenance
crews spent more than
one-quarter of a million
man-hours at this task.
Littering is an expensive and
potentially dangerous habit, It is
also .against the law as 358
persons discovered last year
when they were fined varying
sums up to $50 for littering
Ontario's highways.
Help keep Ontario's highways
clean this t holiday season by
keeping a litter bag in your car
and using it.
Stratford shows present challenge to prop men
During the Stratford Festival
production •of "The Alchemist,"
a menagerie of enormous flasks,
bubbling smoke and spitting fire,
pops and wheezes its way on
stage. This is the extravaganza
the Alchemist supposedly uses
to turn lead into gold.
Mounted on two life-size
alligators, this elephantine
chemistry set — nicknamed The
Pandemonium Machine -- was
designed by James Hart Stearns.
However, the big job was making
it and that became the
responsibility of Stratford props
master, Ed Kotanen,
To do that, he was faced with
the task of finding a glass blower
who would make the many
beakers and flasks needed. He
had to construct the alligators
out of styrofoam and fibreglass,
so that when the tails were
pulled, huge gusts of smoke
two carbon -dioxide fire
extinguishers hissed out the
jaws. And he had to construct
something under the flasks that
looked' and acted like a fire, but
was not a fire.
All in all something of a
challenge. But Mr. Kotanen got
his glass blower from the
University of Waterloo's
chemistry department. His
alligators spurt smoke with the
best of them. And the non -fire —
which really does look like a fire
— is actually a combination of
red Chinese silk, colored light
and a fan.
Back for his third season with
the Festival, Mr. Kotanen also
supervises the construction of
everything from scores of
fibreglas goblets, helmets .and
armour, to a Papal Throne and
an almost grotesque, Rubens -like
sculpture of a woman. Still
another of his major properties
this year is a complete new
floor, made of hot rolled metal,
used in the Festival production
of "Measure;�fbr Measure." This
false floor, ;which comes apart
into 78 pieces, is the first ever •
used on the Festival Theatre
stage. •
Ingenious solutions such as
these seem almost a daily
occurance for this man who has
worked in the theatre for over
ten years. Born in Port Arthur,
Mr. Kotanen graduated from
high school there before going
on to receive his Bachelor of
Applied Arts at UCLA.
Having worked in many
different aspects of theatre, he
has also been a resident designer
at the London Little Theatre for
the past five years. In this, he is
like one of his predecessors,
Brian Jackson, who now designs
for the Festival after having been
props master for the last half of
the 1950's.
Almost all his department of
15 people are over 25, and many
are also painters or sculptors.
"Often people begin in the
property department and then
go to other fields in the
theatre," Mr. Kotanen said.
Then he added, only half
jokingly: "Or get fed up and sell
insurance."
