the tribune thursday november xlffl i wiimauittt tablerite steaks and roasts the united way came a little closer to its goal of 9400000 on thursday as the steven p roman foundation donated a cheque for 25000 to the united ways york region campaign the cheque was presented by tony roman mayor of markham right to bob hlggs executive director of the regional campaign and john stevenson president of the united way york region centre paul burns photo for seniors the fourth quarter by leslie holbrook its just about the end of an era bing crosby well into the biblical three score years and ten died doing one of the things he liked best at the end of a final round of golf which he won that is the way i would like to go not playing golf because i dont think much of the game and play it poorly perhaps the reason i dont think much of it how fortunate to be able to pack it up sud denly without waste- away painful illness while still enjoying this great life if there was any person in entertainment or likely in any other field of endeavour better known to our generation than bing i dont know who it would be susan musgrave poetry is absorbing by helen boatz last week the first of a series of poetry readings by a selection of canadian poets got off to a promising start at the whitchurch stouffvule public library the in tense and magnetic quality of susan musgraves presence and writing kept her audience absorbed and stimulated not unlike the late american poet sylvia plath musgrave admits that death is the dominant theme in her poetry she justifies this by suggesting it is her only way of working through her personal dread of dying and hopes in turn may enlighten book contains war paintings by george foord a terrible beauty the art of canada at war during the two world wars canada commissioned prominent and promising artists to make paintings and drawings for historical record the resulting collection from the two wars remained stored in a warehouse in ottawa for over 30 years after world war n ended recently just over a hundred of these works were selected from a total of over five thousand they will be going on tour across canada to various galleries during the next year or so they can be seen in oshawa at the mclaughlin gallery december 9th to 3lst these are the pic- tures which make up half of the book the other half being taken up with written pieces also from the two war periods the last major showings of canadian war art were in 1945 and 1946 and i recall the overwhelming power of charles comforts- j immense oils and in particular the large water colours done in italy i think it is doubtful 1 whether either the british or us artists matched the best of canadas war art it must have been very difficult to make such a limited selection from such a vast wealth of material fortynine artists are represented and there are many familiar names in cluding charles comfort will ogilvie alex colviue carl schaeffer molly and bruno brobak from world war i there is fh varley ay jackson and to my astonishment cw jefferys how his historical drawings in the school books delighted generations of canadian children work of the services is shown including that of paul goraraon and eric aldwinckle with the air force and leonard brooks and jack nichols with the navy goran- sons work is especially dramatic and ald winckle has a marvellous watercolour of a sun derland plane in the rain the writing in the book can be read in dependently- it is a wonderful mix of heightened experiences and feelings poems brooding arid refined letters of love straight from the heart notes from a nightmare world extracts from diaries distinguished broadcasts of the time they were all there as it happened and they are here in the book and oi course there are some light notes others but do not get me wrong her work is not depressing evolving mainly out of her own personal life experiences musgraves poems reach a psychological depth that is quite exciting p a r t i cu 1 a r 1 y evocative was a tribute to deceased friends verne and jane her ability to capture the feelings of extreme quiet ex perienced when one carries onwith despite news of the tragic ending of others has universal meaning in- creduality and rage seethed from her soul powerful stuff amusing selections from selected strawberries as opposed to selected poems were proof of her far reaching imagination and ability to spoof endlessly her celebration of life which surely every poet must exhibit in one form or another comes through in her poems for children bing sang words you could hear and that made sense tunes that were memorable oh ill admit that not all of them made sense there was mairzy doats and dozy doats for example ill take a small bet that most senior readers of this column born and or raised on this con tinent at least can associate key events in their lives with songs mie famous by der bingle there wasbbblue of the night and gggold of the day wait til the sun shines nellie irish lullaby with a few more nonsense words ad mittedly june in january pennies from heaven and of course white christmas his relaxed style of singing the rhythm the lyrics were a far cry from todays raucous hip- swinging mikemaulers with their phoney theatrics as a substitute for talent- money grabbing jackals in the mad mad modern music industry will not be able to capitalize on the gullibility of bings fans as they did with a lesser singer who died recently fans who fought over grave flowers and con tinue to spend millions of tawdry tasteless memorabilia memorial record albums of crosby songs will be big sellers among those of mature years but im certain that shoddy souvenir items such as presleys passing has provoked would be shunned russell baker comparing bing and elvis said the crosby generation has trouble hearing rock because it makes the mistake of trying to understand the words thats a mistake when we ignore the value and meaning of words sane communication becomes virtually im possible next stop is towerofbabel chaos call it nostalgia if you like but dont you long for days when words had clear meaning before a dog catcher became a canine
