The veteran singer-song- writer and television actor says this is a place- where, after years of wandering - through North American pol- itical protests and a personal addiction to alcohol and pills, he can truly enjoy life. McCurdy, 63, and his wife, Beryl, recently moved to a seashore community just minutes from Halifax yet largely. untouched by the modern world. “My wife and I spent a summer at St. Margaret's Bay 23 years ago and we just loved it,” he said in a recent interview. “I've had more peace here than anywhere else. “['want to be part of this community. This’ is where I want to live. I want to die here.” . His description of his new lifestyle just about matches that he envisaged when, in 1949, he wrote Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, anthem of two generations of protest singers in the ‘60s and '60s. Acompatriot of people like Woodie Guthrie and Pete Seeger, McCurdy made the rounds during the civil rights marches of the 10503 and “observed” thé finance himself as a master of ceremonies in vaudeville. “I could out shout the loudest drunk in the place.” In the 1940s, the earthy music of people like Guthrie and Josh White blended with the thinking of leftist ideal- ists in the U.S., and McCurdy was right in the middle of it. He says he was a “non- i fe movement of the 60s. His support for the second group was tempered with reservations about the meth- ods of both the protesters and the Establishment they villified. “You can't love God and hate your neighbor," says McCurdy, hired in 1937 as a hymn singer at $35 a week when he was an 18-year-old student at Oklahoma State University.

The story of a man with a vision of the end of war and a contract for world peace, McCurdy wrote it in half an hour. Although his support for the protesters of the '60s was lukewarm, they adopted his song. Joan Baez opened each of her .stage . performances with it, and one of her song- books in 1964 listed it as “Ed McCurdy's masterpiece.” During the mid-60s he suf- _ fered sudden, still-unexplain- ed paralysis and heart prob- lems which, 10 years later, brought him to Toronto and a new career. He became host of a pro- gram for children called Ed’s Place, a hit which led to two children’s albums. A non-drinker for the past 14 years and apparently cured of heart problems after coronary by-pass surgery last year, McCurdy says he's ready to start over. He has an album which will soon be ready for recording and.he says he'd like to re- sume his acting career, “but. mostly I want to do more children’s work. “I've done nothing but have fun for the last month anda half.

Evidence in the Dunn case indicates there are 37 species of h selling “magic mushrooms” is not against the law. “The mischief is in the mushrooms,” asserted fed- eral prosecutor David Fran- kel of psilocybin — five of them in British Columbia. Magic mushrooms also are harvested in! Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and But lawyer Edward Hole- camp of Courteney, B.C., representing Barry Wayne Dunn of the same commun- ity, said Schedule H of the Foods and Drug Act says nothing about mushrooms. It outlaws psilocybin — a hallucinogen in the mush- rooms, which may be found in meadows and fields on the east and west coasts of Can- ada. Dunn was charged with dland. Whether they contain psilocybin de- pends on soil and climate. FARMERS MAY SUFFER Madam Justice. Bertha Wilson asked Frankel whe- ther making possession of magic mushrooms an offence would open farmers to pros- ecution for something that - grew naturally in their fields. If the mushrooms were growing wild, there wouldn't be any prosecutions, he said. But said outlaw- in p: ybin two years ago, after two under- cover Mounties bought 2.2 kilograms of magic mush- rooms from him for $3,000. But a trial judge ruled the mushrooms are not a res- tricted drug and the ruling was upheld by the province's appeal court. The Supreme Unemployment- ing the mushrooms would lead to judgment calls on prosecutions, adding the law must be clearer than that. “When your client sold a pound of something for $3,000, was he selling mush- rooms or the drug?” Mr. Jus- tice Brian Dickson asked stats released VICTORIA (CP) — Stat- istics released by the BC. Ministry of Labor Friday show the person most likely to be unemployed is a young man living in the Vancouver area or the Interior. Nearly 150,000 British Col- umbians are out of work and the unemployment rate has nearly doubled to 11.2 per cent from 6.6 per cent in April 1981, according to the statistics, B.C.’s work force now stands at 1.3 million people, down nearly 52,000 from this time last year. Hardest hit are men and Compared with 12 months ago, the number of men in the work force dropped 40,000. The number of younger workers declined by 47,000, with youth unemployment doubl- ing to 20 per cent. The best places to find work appear to be Vancouver Island, northern B.C. and the East Kootenays where the unemployment rate dropped from last year. Meanwhile, the NDP has called’ for an emergency de- bate on unemployment in the province. NDP MLA Karen Sanford said in demanding the debate that unemployment is higher than it has ever been since 1961. The Sepaker has yet to. give his answer but on April 8th, he ruled against a similar motion, saying unemploy- ment was already a topic utder'the wide scope of the budget debate underway. The legislature currently is debating. the, government's wdge restraint program. - We Take Great Pride In PRESENTING...| Holecamp. “He was selling mush- rooms,” Holecamp replied. “For $3,000 a pound?” Wilson scoffed. Mr. Justice Jean Beetz asked whether the mush- rooms can be used in ome- lettes. “If you wanted a rather expensive omelette, you could use them the way marijuana is used in brown- ies,” Frankel said. SPATE SALA Nai") Ca RA at CALLS OA ‘TV under fire CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 9, 1982 Blamed for aggression WASHINGTON (AP) — There is overwhelming ovi- dence that violence on tele- vision leads to aggressive behavior by, children and teenagers, ‘a U.S. govern: ment study says. “Both prime-time- and weekend children's television are dominated by ‘action, power and danger,” the Na- tional Institute of Mental Health report said. "There is an average of five violent acts per hour on prime time and 18 acts per hour on children's weekend pro- grams.” The study, Television and Behavior: Ten Years of Sci- entific Progress and Impli- cations for the 80s, is a follow-up to a 1972 surgeon general's report on television violence. “The evidence accumula- ted in the 1970s seems over- whelming that televised vio- lence and and teonagors ¥ who watch the watch a lot of teteviolon: have based on Uber ee ments and on field studies, Not all children become ag- gressive, of course.” DOES POOR JOB' On other issues, the study said: e Television does a poor job of promoting good health practices. “Much of televi- sion’s content seems to foster poor nutrition, especially in commercials for sweets and snack foods. Children who poorer abits than children who a not watch as much.” The report noted that alcohol p characters usually have bet- ter jobs than people in real life. e Minority grovns tend to tion is common on TV pro- grams and than when tele- vision characters drive cars “they almost never wear seat belts." e Women and the elderly are underrepresented on tel- evision shows. “The men are mostly strong and manly, the women usually passive and feminine," it said, and the Spelling bee It was ‘brillient’ SALIDA, COLO.

Jerry Parsons, the prin- cipal of Avery Elementary School, says some of his tea- chers were told to come up with a list of words for a bee and the words feeble, hum- orous and brilliant came out wrong. The teachers also spelled “formerly” as “formorly” and “bookkeeping” as “bookeep- ing,” he said. “There's no real excuse for the misspellings,” Parsons said. “I don’t know what to say.” The misspelled words on the list were spotted by stu- dents and parents and weren't used in the bee held last week at schools in the western Colorado district. watch more than others, and women more than men.
