Signs Incite Silent Rebels
By John Friesen
In Fort William Times -Journal
The urge to rebel against hidden au-
thority never entirely leaves a man no
matter how old or complacent he gets.
Most of us, one way or another, get our
licks in quietly and without fanfare. Each
tiny victory over faceless authority may be
a secret and personal thing, but that doesn't
keep it from being a victory all the same
and totally satisfying.
Have you never hit a red light late at
night at some remote intersection? There
isn't another soul around and as you come
to a stop, the extent to which lives are
regulated by mechanical dodads begins to
sink in. There you sit, a thinking, reason-
ing human being waiting for a blinking
little light to give you permission to go
ahead. It's downright mortifying, that's
what it is.
A traffic light is a recognized necessity
to regulate vehicles and pedestrians pass-
ing through an intersection. But when
there's just you and the light, it gets to be
kind of a personal thing. The light be-
comes a challenge. It represents a distant
and unseen power that can silently reach
through the dead of night and by remote
control make you sit and wait like some
errant schoolboy.
If the moment catches you in exactly
the right frame of mind, you'll treat the
light with the contempt it deserves and
drive through ... with, of course, a quick
anxious glance around the corner to make
sure there isn't a darkened police cruiser
lying in ambush.
Chalk up another small triumph. In
a showdown with a contrivance you've once
again upheld the dignity and superiority
of man. You've demonstrated you don't
slavishly allow yourself to be pushed around
by mechanical devices unless it is logically
reasonable.
Most rebels at first flatter themselves
that they're battling singlehanded in the
surreptitious war against bureaucratic pet-
tifoggery and authoritarian flim-flammery.
But they soon discover they're in the ranks
of what is probably the largest unrecog-
nized, unorganized and sneakiest army in
the world.
Quiet rebels usually specialize on a
particular pet peeve and quickly become
expert at striking back. And if you're
watchful and alert, it's not too hard to spot
one at work.
Take signs or other types of printed
and written instructions. These are top
priority targets in the quiet rebellion, and
wherever you find orders of this kind you'll
find a rebel quietly fightinv back.
If the signs orders "Move to the Back
of the Bus", the silent rebel will deliber-
ately move to the front.
Here are a few other ways to spot
the anti -sign rebel:
It it says "Ring Once For Service",
he rings twice.
Packages marked "Handle With Care",
he takes special pains to handle as care-
lessly as possible,
Letters marked "Urgent", he opens last.
You'll find him with hand cupped
around a cigarette having a quick drag
under a "No Smoking" sign.
He always tests the wall with a finger
under "Wet Paint" signs.
He'll drive with one wheel on the white
stripe if the sign orders "Do Not Cross
Centre Line".
He'll always step at least once on
lawns with "Keep Off the Grass" signs.

The Elliott Research Corpor-
ation survey figures which were
released for November show
that Wednesday -night hockey is
leading Saturday night. In the
ten -city survey, mid -week NHL
hockey had 462,600 homes tuned
in, while Saturday's figure was
423,100. Two reasons account
for this. First, there is better
programming by the CTV sta-
tions against Saturdaynight
hockey; secondly, Wednesday
night's schedule does not al-
ways include Toronto, which
means we get two different
teams and different commenta-
tors.
The intermissions this year
are far more interesting than
in past seasons, but why are all
the Toronto commentators so
pro -Maple Leaf?
On a recent Saturday -night
telecast, the Red Wings were
in Toronto and Gordie Howe
scored his 601st goal. Said one
of the commentators: "It's too
bad he
(Howe)had to take the
puck away from Alan Stanley."
What he really meant was it's
too had Howe wasn't playing
for the Maple Leafs. The Red
Wings went on to win the game
and Ward Cornell wrapped up
the proceeding by saying, "And
the final score here, I believe,
was 5 to 3".
With six teams in the league
it would be an idea to switch
commentators. For one game
a team of commentators from
Chicago could do a game; then
a group from New York, De-
troit and so on.
It would mean a lot of travel-
ling and cost more, but we
wouldn't be stuck with the
Hewitts, Fitkin and Cornell
game after game on Saturdays.
You've guessed it—we like dif-
ferent commentators.
