WE ARE A FULL SERVICE TRAVEL AGENCY

ARTS CLUB. . . The Arts Club Theatre of Van-
couver will present their production of School
for Wives at the Capital Theatre in Nelson star

Winter nights at the Capitol Theatre in Nelsor
are going to be warm and lively

Coming up soon_on-Jan. 25 is the Vancouver
Arts Club Theatre's second tour- ‘to Nelson
(remember Sex Tips for Modern Girls?) and this time
they bring a classic — Moliere's School for Wives.

The director, Morris Panych, has set the play in
Venice in 1926, a period of change and growing
fascism, and during Carnivale where nothing is as it
seems, a theatre ne’ Arnolphe,

perfect bride, drives her, of course,

young man. The director's challenge is to fit Moliere
intg,the political atmosphere of the time or to fit
modern politics into Moliere.

The comedy also features former L.V. Rogers
secondary school and David Thompson University
Centre drama student Bob Metcalfe.

GYPSIES ON THE WAY

The Cossacks are not coming to Nelson. But the
gypsies are coming instead: The Capitol Theatre
offered in its Season Series a troupe called Bulava
whose tour is now cancelled. The London-based
Soviet ensemble Tziganka is now confirmed for Feb.
7 at the Capitol. The group features not only a sultry
Russian vocalist, but also balalaika pieces, Cossack
dance, gypsy songs and an unusual dance as finale
entitled “Fight of the Dwarfs.” Your season ticket or
your Bulava ticket is your pass to this international
evening.

Munday writes
of recovery |

John Munday wrote this letter shortly after his
open heart surgery but before w@had been in to see
him.

I apologize for the delay but since it is, Ifeel,
directed to all of his friends, the lapse will not greatly
affect the message. It will be the last until after
Heritage Week, starting Feb. 20. ~

He writes:

Dear Jack and Bunny:

Yesterday, without too much sentiment lost in
the process, I bade farewell to my fellow inmates on
the cardiac ward at the Royal Jubilee Hospital,
joined my sister Joy in the “get-away: car,” and so
made one small step for another scarred man...
towards recovery and home in South America.

Between now and then, hundreds and hundreds
of letters wait to be written; hence this poor
photocopied effort.

Of course, it was a memiorable experience as I
was prepared, like a Thanksgiving turkey, for Dr
Brownley and his cardiac team of experts. Of the
five-to-six-hour operation I recall nothing, but
remember quite vividly my regaining consciousness
in the recovery room, the removal of great lengths of
plastic pipe-line from nose and throat, and the return
immediately to a normal eating program.

John Charters

Reflections
and
recollections

Generous doses of pain-killers helped to
alleviate the suspicion that I'd been run over by a
tractor, and slowly but surely I returned to the Land
of the- Living with its accompanying privileges and
responsibilities.

The special classes in physiotherapy, in, new
dietary habits, in breathing, in coughing with the aid
of a chest-sized pillow, were uncomfortably reminis.
cent of pre-kindergarten, and all over again I was one
of the youngest.

For most of the recovery time, my roommates
were veterans of the Second World War, and so
already shared a camaradie that I could but vaguely
relate to. I admired their continued courage in the
face of life-death challenges. I envied them their
spouses who served as physical reminders that they
were not alone. They held their hands and I clung
more tightly to my “pillow” which symbolized for me
the One Who has proved Himself so many times to be

JOHN MUNDAY
recovering

the God who’ is. our refuge and strength and
ever-present help in trouble.

I was also tremendously grateful for the
nearness of flesh and blood family and for my
extended spiritual family in Canada, and close
enough to visit.

Four healthy pieces of blood vessels from my leg
are busily adapting themselves to their néw role as
coronary arteries. | have the appropriate scars to
prove it.

B “ advances—in—eye—sciente and |
surgery are not yet up to restoring vision to my right
retina which seems to be permanently damaged and
is rapidly losing itse sight. The left eye, already
supplemented with a plastic lens implant and two
historic corneal transplants, is quite noticeably
deteriorating, but all of this enables me to
empathize more with the many blind for whom I
have a special love and concern.

These visual problems may also inspire me to
learn to “touch type,” and thereby add years of
useful service to my overworked index fingers which
have served me so faithfully in the “peek and peck”
method I've used through the years.

From here on, for the next few weeks, life will
be dedicated largely to re-fusing my chestborie which
unfortunately came between the surgeon and my
heart; allowing my leg-long sear to heal — equally
unfortunately no one came up with donor legs;
walking daily marathons to encourage my refurbish
ed heart to keep pumping; and eating my sister's
low-caloried, non-chelesterol, deceptively delicious
meals not the dehydrated sawdust I had
anticipated.

Gratefully and with much love from
John Munday and Family

Fiddlers
report
plans

A meeting of the B.C. Oldtime
Fiddlers Kootenay No. 9 was held in
the Senior Citizen's Hall on Jan. 9.

The ways and means committee,
~ headed by Gordon McFadden, re-
ported that the Castlegar Arena
Complex had been rented for the
upeoming Fiddle Contest to be held
on April 8.

A dance will be held for the
visiting fiddlers on April 7 and on the
Sunday following the contest there
will be a pancake breakfast held in
the Complex. It was also noted that
the Fiddlers will play in the Nelson
Eagles Hall on Feb. 25. The Cominco
Arena has been booked for Sept. 30
for the Fiddlers Annual Jamboree
and Dance and the Legion Hall in
Castlegar has been booked for the

~Annual Christmas Party on Dec. 2.

The Oldtime Fiddlers have decided
to donate $50 to each of three
children to help them*with their
oldtime fiddle lessons. It was hoped
this would encourage more young
sters to pursue oldtime fiddling. The
only stipulation is that they par.
ticipate in our next Fiddle Contest
April 8.

Shirley Regnier and Verna Holm
were named to the nominating com.
mittee to bring forth a new slate of
officers for 1989. The new executives
