who had waited so long in the lineup in the light ol the speedy and expeditious admission into canada of thousands ol czech refugees following the recent crisis in their homeland a similar leelmg ol frustration perhaps even of desperation must afflict many other relugees who have been seeking entry to this country through the regular channels governing admission no one would deny the czechs right to special compassionate treatment in view of their dire and immediate need nonetheless similar compassion should play a larger part in considering the plight ol the main homeless and longstanding

types that likes the late late late or late latelate show on tv perhaps youll have a little sympathy for this owleyed writer i like those late dawnbreaking dickers on the magic box wrenched away from reality fascinated by the bluish glow of hunphrcy uogart peter sellers and beauties like marlcne i enrich is an experience i enjoy especially after the clock strikes twelve it goes back to an inherited desire for scclusionor a bad case of insomnia at the cinderella hour for me the best tv programs arc those after the 1 1 oclock news it is also the most convenient time since the newspaper business often requires late night hours getting up in the morning is the bind after hollywood stars have fascinated me for a couple of hours in a world of dreams the crackle of reality is often hard lo face an observant better half lo the marriage vows also swears that i miss more than half the picture anywaysound asleep i react to these suggestions with indignant denials theres an uneasy feeling nevertheless that she may be partly right what happened for instance the other night when humphrey uogart sailed with his north atlantic convoy from halifax to murmansk i saw them ie3ve halifax and reach murmansk out of halifax the ship looked like part of formidable armada it limped into the russian port full of holes half a crew and humph talking out of one side of his mouth there obviously must have been a portion of the film where i turned my head or headed for the ice box to whomp up a cheese and onion sandwich washed down with a glass of milk and two kingsued indigestion pdls furnished by a sympathetic coworker then there was the night that inveterate late nighl thriller key largo was on ihe tube thats the one where old humph uogart his gul friend lauren bacall and liardtalking ldward g robinson all end up in a hotel in the florida keys and take it over i know how it all started and how the plot ended up bul ihe pail ui the middle is kuida fuzzy my wife testing my awareness of whats going on asked howd you like the part about halfway through where the python comes out of the i vergladet swallows ihe sleek hacall babe and is killed by i dward g robinson with his safely razor my fust reaction was numbed disbelief hut i nodded my head anyway and replied one of the best parts her look changed from quizzical delight to one of unsmiling sarcasm i knew you never saw half that picture slaying up half the night thats a wall disney story you could have knocked me over with a feather guess maybe i do miss the odd reel or two hut what do i do now im hooked maybe ill write a letter to my favorite tv station asking them lo show the middle part of their shows first and alternate the start and the finish so i can get the stones straight smuggling is an old and honorable profession but a free press staffer witnessed a most unusual case in toronto recently when he visited his son in the sick childrens hospital heading for the elevator after the visit they spied another couple heading the same way carrying a large green plastic garbage bag the two couples ended up on the same elevator pushed the down button and ascended on the way down they noticed something inside the garbage bag was moving the father started to empty the contents it turned out to be their five yearold son pop patted junior on the head and said nice lo see your sister agarri eh in a thick accent the boy smiled while the father and mother discussed how easy it was to smuggle the son in despite hospital age limits for visitors you never know whats going to come out of those new plastic garbage bags do you slips in the type a toronto newspaper story on the quebec liquor ttrike comments major montreal hotels report they have no shortages of most type of liquor silt scotch rye cognac nun and vodka are still available although it b not always possible to order by brand name
