Page 2, Thursday, December 2nd, 1971, WHITBY FREE PRESS Editorial Comment IN THE NAME OF ART W h.i tby Arts Incorporated - depen- ding on how you look at it - has come a I on g w ay from "Railway Month At The Station. " In fact, if you believe the newspap- e r s, the growth of Whitby Arts Incor- porated, has moved from a comfortable pace to a giddy gallop. Azany, tell-it-all new group of art- is t s , it seems, has swallowed a book called, "How to be an Artist, the Kick- ier the Better". Why? The better tofreak you with my dear. Some things i n t h e name of art one can f o r give. Posing in the nude ? How canyouknock an individual for his per- sonal beliefs? Much of the mixed feelings on expos- ing the human anatomy the psychologists say, stem from the degree of inhibition you were subjected to as a child. But toassume in the name of art that those inhibited soul swho can't buy nudity wholesale are victorian, prudish or ove rwhelmed by a sense of their own fat se modesty does not only show strong opionism , butworsestill, a total disregard for the beliefs of others. Whitby Arts spokesmen on nudity in the new spape r article of last week showed poor taste. So poor tas te is again a personal thing and not really much of an issue in the sophisticated '70's. The comment , "Whitby is not exactly a thriving cultural centre", taken in the same light, however, shows just plain poor manners in 1590 or 1970 -' "kickyl" or not. 0..*.."Whitby isnoteexactly a thriving cultural centre"... There is serlous question at this time as to whether the Arts "Station" is.

The excitement, the parades, and by now, even most of thehangovers. But I have tosay it, "Ar- gos, you really blew it!" I wasn't going to watch the game be- cause I was busy and anyway I knew the Argos didn't have much chance agains t a tough team iike the Stampeders. As l uck would have it, I was able to turn on the game just after it started. I had just gotten nicely settled down in front of the TV when the Stamps got a t o u c h d o w n. l1hoped it was not just a case of luck but rather skill. Looks 1ike it was skill after ail. In all honesty I'm not a football fan, but the Grey Cup is the big one and be- sidesl1 used to live in Calgary. If I ever went back out west to live it would pro- bably be Calgary. As for the teams, how many of the players are from Calgary, or Toronto? An yway that first t o uch do w n in- creasedmy interest sol1 decided to watch the whole game. The first half of the game was a great battle. Toronto tried invain to hold Calgary but it seemed to me most of the first half was played on the Toronto end of the field. What was with those Argo runners? Something else Inoticed. When a sin- gle Stampeder hit an Argo runner, the Argo runner stayed down. But when an Argo hit a Stamp runner, it seemed to take t w o or three more Argos to make the guy quit. I don't know if the Stamps h ave bigger and heavier players but it sure looked like itout on that field Sun- day. VÃ"'tcdan't blame Toronto for losing m vuM l~iUwvI 1 because they aren't used to playing on the funny stuff cal led "artificial grass". I t seems Toronto the Good isn't rich enough to provide the artificial turf for the Argos. A c t u a 1ll y I s aw players from both te ams skidding all over the place, and every t i m e somebody went down there was a spray of water. Half time entertainment Th e h a If t im e entertainment was s om ething else. I don't know how long the poor guys in the band practiced but itwasall lost. Somebody kept cranking a siren and the two sounds came off like a c a t h o wl ing off-key. The parachute dropsweredazzling and successful and one chutist landed right on the target at centre field. I can't recall now if it was the half- timeentertainment or the dull beginning of the second half, but I fell asleep and missed the Argo interception that res- u I te d in the only touchdown the Argos managed to get. I w as aw ak e a few minutes when I r ea lized Ihad a meeting to chair in Oshawa, sol Ilistened to all but the last three minutes of the game on my way to Oshawa. So what happens in the last three min- utes I comforted myself? 1 was going to sit in the car and listen to the radio tilt ·thegame was over but I didn't think the S t a m p s h ad anything to worry about. Later on that night, I heard on the radio most of the fumbles in the game happened in the last three minutes. Continued on Page 13 E "M'4-MUM, 77,75- w
