, BY SIIIRt.,EY J. KELLER ,
When a man is sick, he's really
sick. When a man has to go to the
hospital, that's another headache.
In fact, when a man has toga to the
hospital, it is the wife who needs
time to recover.
Not too long ago, my husband
got word that he would have to go
into hospital for a minor
operation. The news hit him like
he'd just heard that he was to lead
the Russian forces into the Third
World War. He was devastated,
utterly and completely.
As the time drew closer for my
spouse to enter hospital, I found
him growing more and more
sullen. By the time the day had
arrived for his admittance, my
husband was a physical and
emotional wreck—and I was a
close second.
How long has it been since
you've gone through this
procedure of getting admitted to a
hospital? You know, the hospitals
have a method, they say, which
will make the process faster and
easier for their patients. They
write to you weeks in advance
asking you for all the pertinent
data—like your religious
affiliation, your hospitalization
number, your wife's shoe size,
your mother',s medical history.
You know the kind of question,
And the hospital officials are
correct. It does make it easier to
get through admitting and onto the
floor where you'll be a patient.
Too bad, though, they haven't
discovered a method to speed up
the process at this stage of the
admitting game,
We were ushered into a room
which was to be my husband's
prison for the next few days. The
admitting clerk checked her sheet
and said, "Yes this is your bed.
Hum-m-m-m. I see it's one of the
old types, Pity." She rustled out
of the room.
We observed there was another
bed in the room—unruffled and as
far as we knew, unoccupied. It was
one of those new fangled electric
beds and it was next to the window.
But fate had apparently decreed
that my husband should have the
old bed on the dark side of the
room, and the nurse was wise
enough to know it and not question
it.
The nurses had left no
instructions whether my husband
should get into bed or not. Get
undressed or not. So we sat like a
pair of clods in that hospital
room, not knowing what to do. We
felt a little foolish to say the least,
Two fully-clothed healthy-looking
specimens sitting in a hospital
room apparently visiting two
empty beds!
Another team of nurses bustled
in. One asked my husband's name
and the nature of his business in
the hospital. Surgery, was the
answer. What kind of surgery,
came the next question, My
husband tried to explain, all the
time a little wary of staying in a
hospital where the pre-surgical
inquisition was by two young
nurses who looked as though they
might have been on a cheer-up-
the-patients tour.
His explanation lacked the
color the girls expected so they
pressed my husband further for
the proper medical terms,
'It has a name about this long,"
replied my spouse indicating with
his forefingers about one foot.
The nurses must know their
medical terms by the yard
because they seemed satisfied,
and left.
"I should have told them I was
going to have a hysterectomy,"
, said my husband, getting more
and more irritated.
Again we waited, staring back
and forth from the two empty beds
to each other.
"Mr. Keller?" came the jaunty
inquisition. "How tall are you?"
A shadow of distrust crossed
my husband's face. Were they
measuring him for a coffin? Or
for the maximum length of an
incision? He gave the information
she requested.
"Thank heavens you know,"
sighed the little nurse. "I couldn't
find the measuring stick
anywhere."
It was back to waiting.
Suddenly and without warning a
strange kind of hush fell over the
entire hospital. I went to the door
of the room to take a look.
Everywhere there were white-
clad figures running frantically
hither and thither. One was
headed our way.
In one swift movement he
closed the door on us—tight.
To be continued next week.

THE BEST DAMN FIPDLER
FROM CALABOGIE TO
KALADAR
Black and white; 49 minutes.
Kate Reid and Chris Wiggins star
as husband arid wife, parents of 7
children, living in a backwoods
logging community. The film is a
study of the general effect of'
poverty on family life. It is also a
character study of a man -
bushworker, oddjobber as well as
fiddler—who rejects any offer of
social aid as the family is
threatened with the financial
difficulties brought on by
sickness, etc. The film shows the
effect of deprivation and isolation
onone rural Canadian family and
one realizes the nature and extent
of poverty outside the city limits.
PARADISE LOST
Color; 4 minutes. Although but
four minutes in length, this
sprightly animated film in
brightly-Colored cut-outs
epitomizes the threat that hovers
ovea all creatures of the world
posed there by the great
despoiler, Man, It is a story
without words but its message is
very clear and one that will linger
in the minds of viewers young and
old.
SYLVAN SKETCHES
Color; 11 minutes. This is a
visually poetic journey through
nature using Bolex cameras and
lenses. The pageant of the
seasons begins with winter with
brilliant winter ascenes; spring,
summer and fall follow in quietly
beautiful sequence. This is an
International Film Festival
award winner.

The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart,
Minister of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, has announced that the
Ontario Food Council is
sponsoring three members of the
Ontario White Bean Producers'
Marketing Board on a mission to
Western Europe.
The mission leaves Ontario on
March 3, to contact buyers and
members of the trade in the
United Kingdom, West Germany,
Belgium, the Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden and France.
Since 1963, production of white
beans in Ontario has grown from
The communities of Goderich,
Clinton and Seaforth and their
surrounding areas are being'
canvassed now by members of the
nominating committee of the
Association for the Mentally
Retarded to find a new slate of
officers for the local Association
which serves that district.
According to various persons
presently involved with the
Association, a complete
revitalization of the organization
is necessary before there can be
91 million pounds to an estimated
record 150 million pounds in
1971. Exports as a percentage of
production have grown from 29
per cent to almost 60 per cent in
1971.
"With competitive areas likely
to increase production this year,
and Britain's entry into the EEC
likely to reduce Ontario's tariff
advantage in the British market,
it is imperative that Ontario adopt
a more aggressive attitude
toward the marketing of our white
bean crop" said the Minister.
"The representatives of the

Progress. It became evident
during a recent effort to join
forces with the South Huron
Association for the Mentally
Retarded to build a regional
workshop for retarded adults
near Clinton, that there just was
not sufficient interest or
membership in the local
Association to proceed with fund
raising plans,
Immediate need, according to
sources, is an executive from the
Marketing Board recognize the
increased competitive pressures
and we are more than pleased to
assist them in their efforts to
consolidate their interests on the
British market, and to develop
new outlets in Western Europe.'
The timing of this mission is
particularly advantageous to
white bean growers, who will be
better informed of the extent of
the 1972 market before spring
planting," the Minister
concluded,
The Board will explain its
operation to prospective white
community, concerned about the
problems faced by the mentally
retarded and schooled in the ways
of organizing and motivating a
group such as the local
