One _man‘s opinion

in the belly of a business buliding.

Just maybe the West K

to the next

y' prospi is ready to
stage of civillzation. Maybe there is some hope that we, in the backwaters of
British Columbia, are now prepared for some of the finer things In life.
It is Important that | say ‘‘ready'’ because according to an opinion by

learned psychologists the human being Is only able to appreciate the essence of

* quallty and excellence when he has passed through the basic survival stages. His
basic needs of self-preservation — food, shelter and a little love — must first be
provided.

in other words we all need time and money before we can be peaceful
enough to really watch and feel a good theatrical performance. We must listen to
good music with more than just our ears and that which Is left of our sound
battered heads. -

Most top artists paint with feeling, If we cannot fee! the painting then we
have missed the whole polnt of the artists effort.

We cannot feel for another's creative effort or performance unless we have
ceased to worry about money, house payments and whether the kids are getting
drunk at the family bar. :

| know many struggling unfortunates value the fine things, just as many
boorish rich eat too much or who are so busy making money they couldn't
recognize the difference Bach and Bluebeard, i

But money and culture seem to relate. Opera houses In the past were not
bullt by the poor. They were built by lovers of culture, good breeding, higher
education and an ablding appreciation of the arts.

Therefore, dear friends of the arts centre committee, you are wasting your
time talking to politicians and governments of any kind who are poweriess In
their abillty to concelve of the value to of as as
an arts centre.

The city council of Trail pleasantly amazed me when It backed ‘the Idea in
principle. Maybe that is all the encouragement we need.

It is my suggestion and opinion that a society be struck to ralse the money
from the members themselves, who, If my above assumption Is correct, will have
more than enough money or love and feelings for the arts to build their own
complex.

ean remember a golf club house that was bullt by selling debentures. The
new arts centre can be a business proposition, so let's keep the government
grants out of the picture.

Comforters - favorite.

A Sense of tranquility and

“ comfort are important con-

siderations in the selection of
bedroom furniture and lin-

ens.
The bedroom should be a
place to relax, read a good
ook and sleep comfortably.
It should be a refuge from
hectic, activity-filled days.
Traditional favorites, such
as the down comforter, are

the energy shortage which
requires lower thermostats
and today’s interest in ef-
ficiency have contributed to
this renewed demand.
Comforters filled with

* down or feathers and down

have been popular for cen-
turies in Europe, where the
bedrooms are often cool.

forter is just as at home ina

Scientists of the Can-
adian Conservation Institute
are using severe winter
temperatures to freeze-dry
valuable wood artifacts
which have become water-
logged and are in danger of
disintegrating.

The institute, adminis-
tered as a program of the
National Museums of Can-
ada, has been experimenting.
with the process at various

Hunting Quiz: Does a
long-barreled shotgun “reach
out" farther than a shorter
one?

Answer: While this was
true in.black powder cays, it
is not true today. In black
powder days a long barrel
gave the powder time for full
combustion,

Yet this idea persists in
this day of smokeless powder
when it’s choke that deter-
mines how ‘far out” a gun
will reach, Actually it’s not
how far the shot, will go, but

how dense the pattern of .

your shot is at any given
distance that brings down
the birds.

A full choke barrel will
have a tighter pattern and
hence put more shot where
the bird is at say, 40 yards,

-than a barrel with no choke.

A 26-inch barrel will have
just as dense a pattern as a
80-inch barrel so will “reach
out” just as far.

There's some loss of
muzzle velocity in the shorter
gun, but not enough to make
much difference.

Some of the best recipes
for seafood are found in club
newsletters, official pamph-
lets by various fisheries
agencies, and notebooks of
individual cooks.

These little collections
are often labors of love, but
many pamphlets go out of
print quickly while personal
recipes are known only to
immediate friends,

Now comes a cookbook
that has gathered more than
400 of these recipes for all
kinds of seafood in this
regicu. It's “Pacific North-
west Seafood Cookery”, by
Stan Jones. ‘
