ciose shaves
for the ne w G.G.
There are two reasons why
I am delighted with the ap-
pointment of Mme. Jeanne
Sauve as Governor-General
of Canada. The first reason
is that I finally feel vindicat-
ed in my lifelong abhorrence
of words like poetess, Jewess
and sculptress. Mme. Sauve
has not you will notice, been
appointed Governess -Gener-
al. She's our. Governor-Gen-
eral, and that's that.
I am doubly delighted be-
cause it is great to see one of
ours making it to the top.
All the women I know
share my admiration for this
brave and radiant lady, and
most of us have identified
with her if only for a few
daydreaming seconds. On
the surface, governor -gener-
alship looks like a pretty
neat job. You have a nice
„house. You can travel and go
to parties. You get to meet
Prince Philp. You don't
have to worry about things
like parallel parking and
whether you can afford to get
the roof shingled.
But we all know there is a
flip side to the G.G. coin. It's
not all stuffed mushroom
caps and diet soda. Mme.
Sauve will be expected to be
on all the time—perfect, self-
possessed and vice -regal —
even when things go wrong.
And they will.
Take memory lapses. We
all have them, and they have
nothing to do with aging. I
had a whole bunch of them
once when I was eleven
years old, and consequently
failed grade six. Memory
lapses seem ' to strike when
one gets tense and anxious to
please. Thus, when you go to
introduce your husband to
the new minister, you forget
his first name your hus-
band's, I mean.
Will this happen to Mme.
Sauve? Will she find herself
saying something like:
"Your Majesty, it is my hon-
or to present to you the
Prime Minister of Canada,
the Right Honorable ... the
Right Honorable . . . now
isn't that silly? His name's
right on the tip of my
tongue."
I trust there'll be an aide
standing by to prompt 'her
with a discrete whisper.
And where will the aide be
when Her Excellency takes a
bath? Not there, off course,
and that is why the following
will happen as sure as God
made little green grapes.
The G.G. will opt for a hot
bath before she gets dressed
for an official function and
she'll lean across the tub and
turn on the tap and she'll get
a whole headful of water be-
cause Mr. Governor-General
will have forgotten to return
the shower control to the
down position after his ablu-
HEY KIDSI LEARN TO DRAW

tions. There will go a thirty -
dollar, silver-plated hair -do,
minutes before a social
deadline.
I can only hope that the
Queen's representative in
Canada will be given her
very own bathtub where no-
body can monkey around
with the shower controls.
Other mad -makers lurk in
the bathroom. Show me a
woman who hasn't almost
bled to death on the brink off
a big social evening and I'll
show you a bloody liar.
You'd think we would know
better than to apply razors to
our lower extremities just
before times of heavy social-
izing but those of us who are
perpetually insecure about
personal grooming will
reach for the razor and use it
to whip off that tiny cluster
of hairs, just above the ankle
bone. We also remove a lay-
er of skin. The resulting
wound is as small as a new-
born's fingernail but it
bleeds and bleeds. Lordy
how it bleeds.
One winds up dressed,

GLOMAL TELEVISION'S
ROVING REPORTER
I am now a prospector. A
mining man. And I have a
prospector's licence to prove
it. I have even staked a claim
in the goldfields of Kirkland
Lake!
The whole thing started
last year when my wife
Jenny, cameraman David
Perrault and myself went to
Kirkland Lake to do a -few
stories about mining. While
there we met Alex Peron,
one of the many prospectors,
engineers and geologists who
frequent the Bon Aire
Motel's coffee shop for
breakfast.
Alex "suggested we come
back sometime and he'd
show us how to stake a
claim, He and his partner,
Big John Duncan, have been
prospecting the district for
years and have staked more
claims than you can shake a
stake at. .
Jenny and I talked about it
during the winter, and one
beautiful • spring day we de-
cided the time was ripe to go
up to the goldfields to make
our fortune.
So we packed our bags,
took the sporty little Mus-
tang that Global got us and
headed north. Spring was
busting out all over. The
northland was magnificent.
We were 'to go into the bush
the next -day. Alex and Big
John expected us. David was
flying up from the city.
But the next day the roof
fell in. It was snowing, blow-
ing and cold. David's plane
was delayed. He arrived
about noon, and seemed un-
daunted by the weather. He
said it would lend an authen-
tic note, and he'd get some
great pictures.
I put on ,a bold front, and
told Alex and /Big John that
after all I'd been to places
like Greenland and Yellow-
knife , and the weather
crossroads

wouldn't bother me a bit.
Jenny, who has never been
considered a golddigger, was
rarin' to go on this jaunt. She
hopped in a panel truck with
Mary Greer, a geological
technician who works with
Duncan and Peron and Steve
Rayment, a reporter from
the Northern News, who was
doing a story on us.
We drove over to the re-
cording office. I got my pro-
spector's licence and a map
of the Boston Creek area,
along with metal claim tags.
An hour later we were on the
edge of the bush, ready to go
in and restake a 60 acre
claim.
I sensed that this was the
beginning of a new career. I
felt I was on the verge of a
great'discovery. I would be-
come a mining magnate. I
hadn't been this close to a
fortune since I once blew the
bundle and bought a Win-
tario ticket.
We trudged through the
snow into the bush. I had an
axe to blaze the claim trail,
Big John cut down a tree
with a few easy swipes. Alex
squared off a claim stake. I
nailed on a metal tag. David
recorded the 'epic trek on
tape.
We forged ahead. My
hands were cold. My feet
were cold. My bones were
chilled to the marrow. We
found an abandoned cabin. I
huddled there shivering in
silence. Then we moved on.
As we left, and I followed
Big John's footsteps through
the snow, I began to think
that prospectors earn their
money. On the other hand,
the stakes are high.
So I'll be back there again
to claim my. fortune. Count
on it! Maybe this year, or
maybe next year. Or maybe
the year after that.
coiffed, made-up and be-
jewelled, but barelegged un-
less you count the clumps of
Kleenex stuck here and
there. There is no actual
record of a woman attending
a government or embassy
function with bloody tissues
stuck to her shins, but I bet
it's happened.
If I were a fairy god-
mother, I would bestow the
following boons upon our
new Governor-General. I
would wish her freedom
from the petty annoyances
that strike most of us when
weare doing our darndest to
look and act like ladies of
more or less regal stature.
I hope she never sprays
her hair with Arrid Extra -
Dry.
I hope the label never
pokes up at the back of her
dress.
I hope she won't get a,cold-
sore the day she has to read
the speech from the throne.
May the heels of her shoes
never ram themselves into
sewer gratings and gaps in
board sidewalks.
Meanwhile I invite Cana-
dians everywhere to join me
in a toast to our new Gover-
nor-General. Isn't she
grand? Isn't it lovely to think
of her talking turkey in
.Buckinghairt Palace 'with
Queen Elizabeth and Mar-
garet Thatcher?
God bless them all,
( Maybe She already has.)

From The Living Bible
"Teacher," these spies
said; "we know you tell
the truth no matter
what! You aren't influ-
enced by .'the opinions
and desires of men,' but
sincerely rc`h' the ways
of God. Now tell us, is it
right to pay taxes to
Rome, or not ?" Jesus
saw their trick and said,
"Show me a coin and. 1'11
tell you:" When 'they
handed - it to him he
asked, "Whose picture
and title is this on the
coin?" They replied,"The
emperor's." "All right „
he said,"if it is his, give
it to• hien. But everything
that belongs to God must

WHAT IS STROKE?
A stroke occurs when the blood sup-
ply to part of the brain is halted by
either a clot,.a ruptured vessel or
pressure on the 'blood vessel by a tu-
mor. Strokes are more likely to occur
when arteries leading to the brain
have been previously damaged by a
disease process called hardening of
the arteries. Warning signs of a pos-
sible stroke may include temporary
loss of speach, loss of vision or dou-
ble vision, une>E'p)ained headaches or
dizziness. Regular medical checkups
are the best protection against
strokes. Contact your local Ontario
Heart Foundation for more
information.
