We also get a lot of free magazines, the ones sent to ‘ ‘selected A homes 7 in better neighborhoods.” 7 Other magazines tell us how we can go out and enjoy Torpppo’s nightljfg and fine restaurants: After all, they're the people who raised the rates to 12 cents just after I bought one hundred 10 cent stamps. Unless there is a tieâ€"in there with the credit com- panies who keep offering to loan us $500 any time we pick up the telephone and call. Smacks of conspiracy to me. Nobody wms Rumor has it you can ask your mail person to stop delivering the stuff that doesn’t have your name on it. But I really don’t think the post office cares that much about me. Though I wouldn’t mind selling the house. Not really. Especially since I only rent it. But if the place is that lovely, why do I keep getting all those circulars about fertilizing my lawn and fixing my eavestroughs and asphalting my driveway? I don’t know why they waste magazine that delights in telling how to hammer nails into baked potatoes on someone who only goes into the kitchen to water the plants. We would have t6 sell the house we don’t own before we could afford to live like that. It can be tolerable when someone in the house has a birthday, and the Christmas Card Avalanche is quite exhilarating.

True, usually the envelopes with the postal code are the ones from people I don’t know, or wish to. Only the advertisers and billing departments care enough to look it up. THORNHILL â€" Once upon a time, junk mail was brought by characters wearing unmarked shoulder bags who looked like they were only a few deliveries away from the afternoon’s gay romp with a bottle of Canadian sherry. But now my rfiail person delivers both the ads and the letters. I can’t tell the junk from the real thing. The sky this time was the one covering the works of one Mr. William Shakespeare â€" oh what a fall was there â€" which apparently faced the possibility of being scrubbed out, because of existing board legislation giving them the power to veto any literary work making “undue” use of Obscenities, explicit sex, etc‘ I don’t know if it’s from the constant nip in the air â€" as opposed to the one in the bars after work â€" the shenanigans of the prime minister‘s wife, or just the general headiness we all experienced when the Blue Jays won their first game, but the silly season is definitely upon us. And making it official were the teachers of York County, who trooped into a program meeting of York County board of education last week to inform them once more the sky was falling. The Merchant of Venice, for example, the teachers felt could be considered anti-semitic. As if people haven’t been thinking that for years. Also, explicit sexual passages in Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet et a1, Rufnor also has it that the raise was necessary to Van 8 Auto Custom Upholstering 300 Enford Rd., Richmond Hill, Ont. C. Corrigal N.

Deflhite/y violent Undue was a good word, Sim said when questioned about its use, perfectly acceptable in many legal definitions to state a situation. The teachers should be able to decide. I don‘t know who is sillier, the teachers for bringing the matter up, or the trustees for even giving them a hearing. Besides, wasn’t that all settled last year when former Trustee Donald Sim’s motion on the matter was passed? off-set the rising cost of storing our mail for a week I try to fight junk mail by putting it all back in the postage-paid return envelope they so thoughtfully provide. I then mail it all back to them. I’m trying to confuse them.

A name you can trust. violence, Shakespeare doesn’t linger over Obscenities and blasphemies to make his point, as do many of our modern writers, whose one big purpose seems to be to preserve their works in excrement. Now listen to her after the deed is done as, steadily growing madder, she washes her hands over and over: “Out, out damned spot! Out, I say!. . .What! Will these hands ne’er be clean?" Macbeth as he contemplates the same killing: “. . .his virtues will plead like angels trumpetâ€" tongu’d against the deep damnation of his taking; and Also the perpetrators of the violence often endure as much agony before as afterwards. Either way, they pay. Witness Lady Macbeth as she and Macbeth plot Duncan's death: “I have given suck and know how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me; I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from its boneless gums, and dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this.” SILKY ACETATE FULL BRIEFS SmaH F Medwum Lavqe R “KRESGE’S vale Apn/ II”: n Listen to her HANDY 3 ROLL PACK ~ TAPE ASST'D.

A running jargon helps relieve some of the violence: “This big fat bastard took off his tunic and you could viddy he had a real big starry pot on him. . .you could viddy like patches of dried sweat on his shirt under his arms, and you could get the von of like earwax from him as he came close.

And then: “. . .I have done the deed. 'Dias’t thou not hear a noise?. . .Methought I heard a voice cry ‘Slfep no_more!

Leave that to such as the publisher of Penthouse and his pals. Right now they are arguing that the govemment’s action in stopping their magazine at the border is preventing all avid Canadian readers from having access to the world‘s best writing.
