tribune february 5 1986 a13 markhams club 134 for girl watchers whos afraid of a big bad storm i those who braved saturdays storm know what it was like for most it wasnt a pleasant experience however melissa austin 10 left of commercial street and angie byer 12 of tenth line south stouffville considered it fun they were stopped by the tribune cameraman en route to the town park with a sleighfull of dolls jim thomas by erkki pohjolainen what type of men get their kicks out of watch ing women wearing nothing but highheels and jewellery prance around a stage i went looking for the answer wednesday and found it seemingly all kinds visit such establishments on this particular afternoon about 35 men some in threepiece business suits and others in greasestained workshirts had ringside seats at markhams studio 134 they oogled a harem of striptease artists as the ladies strutted then- stuff one after another explicitly revealing their gender during brief intervals a voice boomed over the public address system table dancers three for 10 until 6 oclock as the girls completed their threesong show they moved off the stage into the audience each carried a twofoot square stand to use as a per sonal and portable platform meanwhile waiters kept bringing patrons pri- cy drinks a coke and a bottle of beer five dol lars the earpounding music never stopped nor did the hundreds of flashing lights and the dancers kept on coming the black ceiling black lights darkened mir rors and all absence of windows gave one the feeling of being miles below the surface of the earth the clubs atmosphere is thus established most patrons are interested in only one thing- tit ilation and the dancers provide it winking and smiling at the men while going through their routines at the conclusion of each act the dan cers glide from the stage leaving nothing to the imagination one spectator who wished to remain anony mous told me he found the show a bore said his companion when youve seen one youve seen em all the right size family by margaret foth no one can decide for anyone else what size is the right size for a family no children or a dozen children the choice is personal its a totally subjective question parents with threte children wont tell you they wish they had only two that would mean no johnny and johnnys a joy to behold amom and dad with two children cant really spek to whether four would be better never having been there and so we each speak out of our own subjective experiences i know of a young couple struggling very hard with the question of whether to have a second child they feel pressure to have a companion for the first so he wont be spoiled lonely or whatever label is handy i dont think its helpful when grandparents or friends issue ultimatums about an only child will lead a lonely life or if you have more than two children youre selfish and dont care about over population my friend marni was somewhat surprised when her obstetrician brought up the topic of sterilization early in her third pregnancy marni and her hus band had been planning that this child would be their last but she thought what if we had been wanting four or more children even if the doctor was only concerned about the fact she was getting older the implication was that three kids were enough for any couple what are some questions to consider in deciding something so important as family size as mitch finley father of three notes in mar riage and family living its something you prob ably cant be realistic about until after youve started your family as newly marrieds discuss their ideal family size they may think romantically of a large family then they find out how much no 1 alters their life and decide to stop at two some thoughtful questions to ask are overall do i enjoy a child just for himself or herself do we have the longterm financial resources to manage is our marriage stable will i be able to work out job commitments will i be able to give time to another child do we choose the swirl of activity and complex relationships which comes as family size in creases helen says she expected the work to double when her second child was born i was wrong there was ten times more work she recalls because along with diapers she was trying to balance the needs and wishes of the toddler but when we had a third child i didnt notice the work so much she said i think once you have a third child you could go on and have a dozen helen may have been exaggerating to make her point but its true the older siblings can be a lot of help in bringing up younger ones longer ago of course people didnt spend much time thinking about family size infant mortality rates meant that many did not live to be adults so it wasnt unusual for couples to have six eight or twelve babies or for mother to die at childbirth having choices today about family size can mean happier children happier families there are many advantages to growing up with brothers and sisters such as learning ways to negotiate how to share giving and receiving love among peers each child adds many new and im measurable gifts to a family and those brother- sister relationships are important from the earliest days you can help your child feel that no matter how large or small her family is just the right size priced to clear all first quality hxjrrie rug- 100 woblhandwoveri
