Other people mention such Anne has also played on tour 250 times — mostly to full houses — all over Canada and in New York, London and Japan. Not all the international reviews were —a couple of U.S. critics found the musical simplistic and overly sentimental — but generally the reviewers have been as warm as the audi- ence. Why is the musical so popular? “It’s just a pleasure to go back,” says Don Anderson, a fan who works in Charlotte- town and farms nearby. “Ive seen it half a dozen times... and I've never seen a fail- ure.” Norman Campbell, who wrote the musical version of Anne with Don Harron, said in an interview: “People just won't let it not be done here.” sPARTYL NOSTALIGIA Campbell and Anderson agree tha tnostalgia is an important element — the charm of the old-fashioned goodness of the people who accept Anne, an orphan, into their hearts. Thea MacNeil, who in June became the sixth actress to play the title role, says con- temporary girls can also see something of themselves in Anne. MacNeil is 22, but she’s petite and looks younger, es- pecially when she smiles. On stage, she looks like an impish adolescent.

Lloyd Malenfant, perhaps the ultimate authority on Anne, has seen the show several hundred times and says it gets an extra boost because the audience links the values of Anne so closely with the values of P.E.I. where it is set and where the origianl book by Lucy Maud Montgomery was written. Malenfant, who became an assistant director of Anne af- ter playing a small part in the musical in the 1960s, rides herd on performers who try to break the rhythm estab- lished by director Alan Lund. “Anne of Green Gables is part of the Island,” he said in an interview.

Also, she could do what she wanted more easily in music. “The pinacle of theatre at that point seemed to be Stratford — and that wasn't what I was interested in.” “So I quit the theatre cold turkey, went back to Saska- tchewan and started singing in every little burg.” Kaldor works alone, sing- ing her own songs to her own guitar or piano accompani- ment.

HPHadd 41anor Behind picket lines Maintenance work questioned VANCOUVER (CP) — Pulp union leader Art Gruntman has threatened to keep B.C. pulp mills shut down even after a contract is reached if ' mill supervisors continue to do maintenance work behind union picket lines. Inva stern letter to the Pulp and Paper Industrial Rela- tions Bureau, Gruntman said such work amounts to strike- breaking and creates need- less animosity among striking mill employees, He warned that all main- tenance work completed dur- ing the strike will have to be undone and-then performed again by union tradesmen be- fore the workers will return to their jobs. About 60,000 B.C. forest workers are on strike. The workers are members of Gruntman’s Canadian Paper- ‘workers Union us well as the International Woodworkers of America and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada. The IWA’s 48,000 workers went on strike July 13 and were later joined by the 12,000 members’ of the two other unions.’ Gruntman, western region- al. vice-president for the union, singled out the Cari- boo pulp mill in Quesnel, the Finlaw Forest Industries mill in Mackenzle and the Can- adian Forest Product's. Port Mellon operations as‘ places where salaries, employees were carrying out mainten- ance, ‘JUST WARNING BUREAU’ “We're just’ warning the . bureau that the guys there won't start up again unless that work is stripped down for our people to do,’’ he said in an interview. “They: may have a legal right to do it, but they. don’t have a moral right to do our work,'* Pulp bureau president Dick Lester rejected Gruntman’s complaint. truly extreme sition,”’ said Lester. ‘It’s a change in the union's posi- tion, and if that's a new issue they want to put on the table, our position is that we reject it.” He said there is no reason * why strikebound companies ‘can't do whatever they like behind union picket lines. “During all previous strikes, there's been no ques- tions about maintenance work done by salaried personnel, and it certainly isn’t strike- breaking.”’ , Meanwhile, Construction Labor Relations Association announced Tuesday it will ap- peal last week's ruling by the B.C...

They said that is the min- imum amount of time they would need to utudy the proposal and form their position. Dease Lake is about 100 kilometres north of Ter- race.

Andrew McKechnie, while not revealing details of the proposal, said the offer was good enough for the union to delay serving 72-hour strike notice on the province's vital ferry fleet. “It’s not a settlement offer, but the corporation is moving in the right direction,” said McKechnie. ‘‘And as a re- sult, we’re going to continue talking tomorrow (Wednes- day) morning. “At the moment, . we're cautio' sly optimistic, and it’s Hkely there will be job action of any kind this weeken Two parties are Reaodiasiog with the of provin- said a ferry strike would be a “critical test’ for the gov- ernment, adding that the government, would probably , magve quickly,to,end it. lowever, McKechnie said earlier he did-not think Pre- ‘ mier Bili Bennett wouid ieg- islate the ferry employees back to work, despite reports , that the premier had. threat- ened such action.

Officials said the mere talk of a strike can be nearly as bad as the walkout itself. News reports on the pos- sibility of a weekend ferry strike have already had a “serious impact,’’ said Greater Victoria Visitor In- formation Centre vice-presi- dent Rita Wilson. “If people hear about a strike, they are afraid of get- ting stranded and they don’t come to the island,”’ she said. Brian Weekley, chief econ- omist for the Capital regional district, said tourism is al- ready off by five to 10 per cent this year because of poor weather. “We're now in the middle of.the four peak months,’ said Weekley. ‘‘A protracted strike would kill the: season and send a ripple through the economy that would be dev-, astating."” The B.C. Ferry Corporation said that in June of this year, more than 1,175,168 people tode the ferries.
