26 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Mey 18, 1967 Wife A Socialist Chief May Write But Later By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--Mary Wil- son is keeping notes 'on some of the eventful doings that touch her life, but she won't write a book on her years as wife of Britain's third socialist prime minister. "The sort of book I would write could only be published 50 years after I was dead, be- cause if I wrote a diary it would be a very frank one, and you can't publish a diary like that,' she said, looking reflectively out the sitting- room window at the trees of St. James's Park. Mrs. Wilson, who makes her second official visit to Canada with her husband May 30, is not a "political" wife. She finds. speech-making an or- deal and generally stays out of the limelight, a step or two behind her dynamic husband. She is clearly happier in the quiet domestic island of the prime minister's private apartments at the top of 10 Downing Street than in the are-lights of public life. After 2% years, the inhibit- ing responsibilities of political eminence and its attendant publicity have accentuated the naturally retiring personality of Harold Wilson's shy, poetry-writing wife. She is inevitably a more formal, guarded person than " the frank housewife of Hamp- stead Garden Suburb who talked to reporters on her move to Downing Street with the same engaging chattiness she would have done to the neighbors--and saw some of her casual remarks become national jokes when they ap- peared in cold print. FORMALITY TAKES OVER "In those days she used to refer to her husband as "Har- old" in interviews. Now, with scrupulous correctness, it is always 'the prime minister." e private personality is still friendly and sympathetic, with a ready humor, but it is sometimes masked by official reticence. She says the mockery of the satirists did not upset her. "T hope I can always see the funny side of things." The Wilsons read and chuckle over 'Mrs. Wilson's Diary," a spoof column in the satirical journal Private Eye which younger son Giles, 19, brings in regularly. "My only thing about it is that I feel I could write it so much better myself," said Mrs. Wilson; a sudden laugh lighting up her face. She is a small slight woman with kindly blue eyes and honey-brown hair brushed back from a high forehead. She' uses little makeup on her fine, clear English complex- ion. The country-bred daugh- ter of a Congregational minis- ter, she might easily be taken fer the wife of a rural vicar or--as indeed she once was-- the wife of an Oxford don. Wilson taught economics at Oxford for a time after their marriage in 1940. EXCITED ABOUT EXPO She wears well - made, casually styled clothes in muted, becoming colors, like the oatmeal - and - mauve woollen three-piece she wore for the interview. She fingered a gold maple leaf brooch bought in Montreal in 1963 as she talked with keen anticipa- tion of Expo 67. Mayor Dra- enthusiasm about the project that they were determined to see it, she said. 'The room we talked in had old chocolate Siamese cat, lounged elegantly beneath a television set topped by a pot- ted plant. RARELY WATCH TV It is to this homely retreat, with son Giles doing his home- work in the next room, that Wilson comes in the evenings to go through his red dispatch box, seated in the fireside chair with the radio playing in the background, The Wil- sons watch little television, apart from news bulletins. Despite the country - house charm of the apartment, be- ing hostess of 10 Downing Street offers little scope for the kind of vigorous, practical domesticity Mary Wilson most enjoys. She is a good cook, but doesn't like it -- ."'Some people feel cooking is a sort of creative art, but I don't feel that at all'"--and enjoys being boss of a small house- hold like their Scilly Isles bungalow, where "you're the electrician, you're the gar- dener, you're the cook, you're the manager, you can do the whole thing yourself." She still goes back to Hamp- stead Garden suburb in north- west London to drop in on former neighbors, and likes to tell an anecdote about the way the independent - minded islanders of the Scillies treat the prime minister as they | have always done and fiercely | resent the prying awe of out- siders, | The story, which she told | with delighted laughter, -- in- volves two mainianders | watching the Seillonians virtu- | ally ignore Yarold Wilson on | the quay. Said one to the other: "They're probably so | ignorant they don't know who | he is." Bogus Bills In District WHITBY (Staff) - The bogus| fives are spreading. The Whit- by OPP Detachment reported today that three of the counter- feit $5 bills have shown up in its area, One of the bills was report-| ed from a bank at Port Perry Mary Wilson still looks back with pleasure to her days as a don's wife. "IT loved Oxford. The com- bination of old buildings and young people is irresistible. But I don't hanker for it now." Robin, the Wilsons' 23-year- old elder son, wants to teach at Oxford after completing his philosophy doctorate at the University of Pennsyl- vania, and his mother looks forward to savoring the aca- demic life again on visits. It is easy to see why col- lege life with its rather period charm would appeal to Mrs. Wilson.. She has a strong streak of romanticism § ex- pressed in her fondness for Victoriana -- novels, poems and sentimental china orna- ments that she picks up in Cornish junk-shops. Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights is her favorite novel and she also enjoys history and historical novels "to su- | gar the pill." She is a voracious reader, | "I must confess that if I had nothing else to read, I could read the telephone directory-- in fact I have. The Zs are fascinating," she laughed. | A book she returns te again and again is an obscure 1876 novel, a best-seller in its day, called Comin' Thro The Rye, by Helen Mathers. "It's a real Victorian tear- jerker,"' said Mrs. Wilson, fetching the worn blue book from the bedroom. "TI know I'll always cry at the same places and I do--it's like Paviov's dogs!" WRITES POETRY She was rather reticent about her poetry. She has a fine, spare style but hasf't written anything lately. People keep asking her if she will publish, "'but I just haven't said yes so far." "Many of them are very personal. The one of course that got most publicity was the one about the bomb, and that I think was mainly for the subject-matter," she said, referring to a poem beginning "After the Bomb had fallen, after the last sad cry." The Soviet newspaper I2- vestia reprinted it and sent her a cheque for £33, which she donated to a charity for mentally handicapped ch il- dren--one of her active inter- ests, along with the plight of old people. Poems come to her, Says, on long solitary week- end walks in the countryside round Chequers, the Wilsons' second official residence in the Buckinghamshire hills, or through the London parks. "IT couldn't sit down con- sciously and write a poem. Bits of them come, then I have to say them over again in my mind to ize Clergy Urged To Speak Out KINGSTON (CP)--A leading} American clergyman says Ca- di churet should not them, and then I write them down quickly, but of course they aren't finished just like that, They usually need quite a lot of work afterwards. "It's maddening because the best parts of a poem are the bits that don't have to be worked on, and the bits that you really do work on are far more labored than the ones that just come out of the air."
