The Authority wants . department' heads to tick off a list of the books most used by stu- dents. in our high. schools, wig a view to buying the movi $ghta to the 20 most popular,so that lbs , can be video-taped and made available on a wide basis. Maud, able pian. It was when I started to scan the list Haat f thought it must be put-on. I rechecked the ac- companying letter. No, it was real, it was .official. I looked over the last, a; fairly comprehensive one of most of the literature used in Or Nigh school, and started ticking off the ob- vious ones; Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Death of a Salesman, Huck Finn, The. Great Gatsby. Everything, in order. Then I turned to Page 2 of the list and nearly fell off my chair. I. came to two conclusions. Either the chap who had dictated the list had failed to proof-read it, or the secretary who had finished Page 1 and gone out and had a large liquid lunch before tackling Page 2. Dori Quixote came out as Don uuiote. This must be an animal story about a coyote called Don. r R.R. t 3 TRAILER LSALEs 5- RENT H1rY.1� E USTOMEL .

A fines western novel, The Ox Bow Incident, bas changed shape. It is now the Ox Boxfnci- dent, a rather square tittle, if I may .say sok A Grade a standard, To KW a Mockingbird, has become To Kill a ocking Bird, Can't you. see that bird, just sitting around mocking the old lady who owns it? But perhaps thegreatest blow to Canadian literature and certainly the one that nearly bust a gutin a number of English teachers, was theupdating of that fine, oid.vel about French Canada, Maria Chapdelaine. It is now called Marve Chapdelaine. That is an obvious backlash by some male chauvinist pig to the entire Women's Lib movement. But I'd certainly like to read the new version. I can just see Marve up there, in the Quebec back- woods; bringing in the kindling, worrying about wolves, and having babies under primitive conditions. Poor Marve, It was OK for Marie. She had guts. But Marve doesn't sound as though he could hack it, with: a name like that. I imagine he'll die in child- birth, or -be eaten alive by mos- quitoes, or drop a pot of scalding soupe aux pots on his foot, or something like that. Nov I know this entire column is completely unfair' to the poor guy who made up the list. But I got' so much pleasure from it, purely malicious pleasure, that I couldn't refrain from passing it on. And the sheer joy of it is that it comes from an Educational Au- thority. In capitals, It would be no fun at all if it came from. an illi- terate bookseller. It's interesting to learn that your neighbor is going to have a baby, after 15 years of sterility, or that your Uncle George had an affair in Singapore when he was in the merchant navy, and before he became a church elder. But it's sheer glee when you discover that someone away above ' you in the hierarchy has committed a monstrous boo-boo,_ We all have clay feet, but most of us keep our shoes tightly laced, or at least our socks on. 1 Who coined the expression.
