Shirley Whittington
It is rumoured that Fi-
nance Minister Michael Wil-
son has been cast as Scrooge
in this year's Parliament
Hill produbtion of A Christ-
mas Carol. And Tiny Tim,
the taxpayer, bereft of many
benefits (including in some
cases, his job) will find few
coals over which to warm his
tiny hands.
Charity begins at home,
and stinginess begins some-
where north of the famous
Mulroney chin. While the
Liberals are undoubtedly to
blame for everything that
has happened in this country
for the Iast•13 years, (give or
take a few months), still it
seems a vengeful justice that
would disinherit the CBC,
close down my favourite
wildlife centre and charge
ten dollars for a divorce.
On a more visceral level, I
hear the Minister if planning
to make the Parliamentary
cafeteria more cost-
efficient, This is something
which I, an experienced cook
and bottle -washer, under-
stand. If they need me up

there in Ottawa to supervise
culinary cost-cutting, my
vinyl flight -bag is all packed.
I need hardly add that
right next to my sleepers, I
packed my welt -worn copy of
Your Money's Worth in
Food, a spicy government
publication designed to
make parsimony fun. Those
recipes for Panned Cabbage,
Parsnip Casserole and Port
Heart Chop Suey are kitchen
skin-flintery incarnate.
One presumes the first
step in making the cafeteria
pay would be to eliminate the
frills. Members of Parlia-
ment don't need. butter every
day any more than the CBC
needs money. So I'd sub-
stitute the lower priced
spread except for high holi-
days like Sir John A. Mac-
donald's birthday and the
anniversary of the Sep-
tember Revolution.
Except for the cost-
efficient things like day-old
doughnuts and apples, I
think I'd cut desserts from
the menu. Whipped cream
and creme de menthe parfait
just don't fit the Spartan pat-
tern.,
I've noticed that parsley,
the universal garnish, is not
favourite Canadian nosh,
and is usually pushed aside
to he tossed into the garbage.
So I'd slash the parsley bud-
get, and get some plastic
stuff instead. Plastic parsley
could be washed and
sterilised for re -use along
with the cutlery. It wouldn't
be the real thing, but it would
look good.
Canadian householders
have learned all sorts of little
tricks tb outwit inflation, like
powdered skim milk, no -
name peanut butter and
marked -down, slightly
brown cauliflower. None of
these economies would be
amiss in Ottawa.
Finally, it is my suggestion
that they knock off some of
those tulips on Parliament
Hill and plant zucchini. That
unkillable and most prolif-
erous of vines could be
trained up the Peace Tower
and around the roof of the
Parliamentary Library,
dripping succulent little Zep-
pelins all the way. Then par-
liamentarians could look for-
ward to a cost-efficient
winter of zucchini soup,
zucchini bread, zucchini
casserole and zucchini sur-
prise.

HOOD". Stars Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil
Rathbone, Claude Rains. Dashing Flynn as a definitive

thing is right in this WW II classic of war-torn Casablanca
with an elusive nightclub owner Rick (Bogart) finding an
old flame (Bergman) and her husband underground leader

It seems odd to me that in
all this penny-pinching, belt -
tightening shift to thrift,
little has been said about the
constantly changing scenery
at Sornaway and 24 Sussex
Drive. There, the Turners
and the Mulroneys merrily
knock out walls, wrench
down drapes and rip up
carpets in a manner that
make of mockery of
austerity.
Don't those people kiow
how to decorate on a budget?
So the Mexican ambassador
dropped an enchilada on the
carpet? So move the piano.
Somebody poked an elbow
through the plaster? Hang a
big picture.
The woodwork in the
dining room looks grubby?
Turn down the lights.
Fingerprints and spotty
carpets simply vanish, my
dears, in candlelight. Our
public rooms are so dimly lit
that when we entertain, we
issue white canes.
And what's this I hear
about installing new bath-
room sinks to fit the various
Mulroney children? Does
this mean every time a
junior Jaw has a growth
spurt, a plumber must be
summoned? Can't somebody
design a lavabo that goes up
and down like a microphone
stand? Haven't those people
ever heard of little stools in
the bathroom?
Finally, I offer the Whit-
tington procrastination
theory which has saved us
untold decorating dollars.
You simply put things off
until you move. Think how
much money would have
been saved if the Clarks and
Trudeaus had done that a
couple of years ago!
If this government is
-serious about cost-cutting,
and I suspeet it is, it needs
only look to the Canadian
taxpayer for tips on creative
scrimping. We've been doing
it for years.
Ever wonder why the Ca-
nadian penny is decorated
with leaves? Because that's
what money, as soon as you
get it, does.
Church's bells unique
The Gloria in Excelsis
Tower of the National Ca-
thedral in Washington, D.C.,
contains a ring of 10 bells
and a 53 -bell carillon. It's the
world's only church with
both kinds of bells.
A 25 -year-old rock per-
former from Vancouver was
the big winner last week
when the Canadian Academy
of Recording, Arts and
Sciences presented its Juno
Awards at a ceremony
televised live from Toronto.
Bryan Adams was named
the top male vocalist of the
last year and also won
awards for album of the
year, best producer and
composer of the year, the
latter an honor he shared
with co -composer Jim
Vallance. Together, they
wrote the hit, "Cuts Like A
Knife".
To show Canadians still
have a lot to learn about good
music, Rough Trade's
Carole Pope was named the
top female vocalist. We must
really be lacking in talent if
she is the best we have!
Loverboy was the top group
of the year.
A new group working out
of Toronto, Parachute Club,
was named the most
promising group, then
promptly turned around to
score a major win with their
"Rise Up" which was named
single of the year. What an
accomplishment for a group
of beginners!
On the country scene,
Murray McLauchlan was
named top male and Anne
Murray top female. Again
this year, Anne couldn't be
bothered attendings; this
must be Mickey MouSe stuff
to her! The Good Brothers
were named the top country
group.-
The McKenzie Brothers
scored again in the comedy
field; Liona Boyd was
named the top instrumental
artist; Glenn Gould again
received recognition. -for his
classical work and "All in .
Good Time" by Rob -
McConnell and The Boss
Brass was the best jazz
album.
The highlights of the Juno
Awards show for us old-
timers, was seeing the
familiar groups from the 50s,
back this year to be inducted
into the Juno Hall of Fame.
Who can ever forget
"Standing on the Corner" by
The Four Lads, "Sh-Boom"
by The Crew -Cuts or "Little
Darlin' " by The Diamonds?
Members of the three
groups were reunited for the
first time in many years. All
but two live in the United
States now. In fact, for The
Four Lads, this was the first
time in 22 years that the
original four had sung
together. Of the twelve, only
two remain in the music
business, one of the
Dij onds and one of the
Lads. The otherp, are in
engineering, the restaurant
business, insurance, the

business, radio announcing,
the recording industry and
the car business. One of the'
Four Lads went on to teach
