EAST - OSHAWA 576-6601 Great Canadian QUotations I by Jean Ahlvik Looking for a Christmas gift for Aunt Sybil? Blue-stocking maiden aunts, who dismiss. perfume as "trivial", wi p robably be delighted with the ltest addition tothe burgeon- ing collection of essential Canadiana. John Robert Columbo, noted Canadian editor and poet, bas produced a handsome volume entitled Columbo's Canadian Quotations (published by Hurtig, Edmonton) thought- fully in time for Christmas. The book runs to a healtby 735 pages, complete witb a detail- ed index of botb key word and subject word and extensive cross referencing. The 6000 quotations from 2500 contri- butors have been collected over four years of "determin- ed browsing" as the autbor DESCRIBES LT. Anyone.who is familiar witb bis "found poems" knows that Columbo's previous activities equip bim particularly well to be- our contemporary Canadian Bart- lett. For $15 one can purchase everytbing quotabie that bas ever been sa id by Canadians or about Canada - at least everytbing according to Co- lumbo. t must be understood that Columbo's niame in the title bas a definite signifi- cance. The quotations for this book have been chosen from a -specific view of Canada and what, is important here. The book's dedication to avid Canadian nationaiist Walter Gordon, tells the tale. Columbo bas attempted to track down primary sources but where this bas proved impossible he bas contented himself with the best he could find rather than omit tbe quotation. Even popular mis- quotes are included with appropriate explanations. If your Aunt Sybil is not Canadian though, forget it. Back to, the Shalimar or rosebip jeliy. The assu.mption is that thie reader is a Canadian and is at least vaguely familiar witb the bistory and literature of our country. In case you' need more convincing, here are some random samples of Coiumbo's delights: John Diefenbaker is quoted as baving, said, "I'd neyer have been Prime Minister if the Gallup Polis had bad their way."l Wben Nikita Khrusbchev cautioned Lord Tbomson of Fleet, "You can't take it with you.", the millionaire news- paper magnate replied, "Then I'm not going."1 Voltaire is reported to have described Canada "as a "sink- hole for money and a sponge for the blood of France." Oscar Wilde in a letter home to England said, "Niagara Falls must be tbe second major, disappointment of American married life." Two years before, he bim- self joined the Liberal Party, Trudeau wrote in the Quebec periodical Cite Libre: "The political philosophy of the Liberal Party is si mplicity itself: Say anything, tbink anytbing: better still, tbink nothing, but put us in power, for we are best fitted to govern." Lester Patrick, the 44-year- old gýeneral manager of the New York Rangers -during the 1928 Stanley Cup, donned the goalie pads for t he final period of the deciding game wben the' regular goalie was injured. He had neyer piayed goal before but he is quoted as saying, "Ail rig ht! If tbere's no one else in sight, l'Il go in myself." The.,Rangers won tbe culp. E.P. Taylor bas several interesting statements quoted. Perhaps the most character- istic is,-"I only like winners'" ners." Did you know, for instance, tbat Jack L. Warner, the youngest and best known of the famnous Hollywood Warner Br-os., was born in London, Ontario. He made Columbo - witb, "The day you don't enjoy being roastecd, you're cooked." An emninently quot- able quote! Blackbeard the Pirate (Ed- ward Teach) even had some words on Caniada. In describ- ing the western coast of Nova Scotia where he is believed to bave buried bis treasure, the English pirate said, "I've buried my money where none but Satan and myself can find -it, and tbe one that lives longest takes all."1 1On Se pt. 15, 1923, Saturday Night thbe curetydefunct Canadian natioalmagazine, editorialized on the work of the Canadian Group of Seven, "If the wails of tbe Canadian section of the British Empire Exhibition are to be covered witb 4rude cartoons of the Canadian Wilds, devoid of perspective, atmospheric feel- ing and a sense of texture, it is going to be a bad advertise- ment forý this country. We should adylse the Department of Immigration and Colon- ization to intervene to prevent sucb a catastrophe." Among the gems contribut, ed by Stephen Leacock, one can find, "Gentlemen embez- zle but don't steal" and other well known quips. Lesser known Canadians are also represented by wbat will probabiy become weil known sayings. John Straiton Vice-Chairman of. Ogilvyand Mather advertisinig agency said in conversation about Canada, "Witbout advertising it's Russia."Il Harley Parker is credited with baving said, "Good taste is Ithe first refuge of the witless."1 Rod Sykes, Calgary mayor, is credited withpbeiný the source of the bump er stcker: "That 'Eastern Bastard' is my brother" an attempt to offset the ill effects of last wiinter's bumper sticker wbich read "Let the Eastern Bastards freeze in the dark." (A reference to the oil crisis) On a Spring visit to Toronto, Bob Hope is reported to, have said, -I've neyer seen any p lace before -where they bave four seasons in one day. I'm wearing out mny body cbang- ing clothes."
