You m1ay, hwvr Wonder why David Sbatesky Of C-B(' \would phione Roy Forrester to take part in the "'Radio NMoring Live"pro- grain. Shatesky and I met in the early 1970's and ih possiblyý was 1970. Shatesky c:ame to tisillage and spent at least four mionths as producer and director of' the Or-ono Youthj Theatre and did a miost remnarkable job. As somne of our readèrs wvill recall, thle Youth Thbeatre operated for IVwo year and oui of the old Orono Arena wýith at least thiree productions a summner. WCe were going to put Or-ono on the miap as had been Niagara-On1-Thle- Lake and along ih other residents of the Village, and headed by Tred andlarago Samuel, were members of the -board of directors striving to finance the program with a budget of somne $26,000.

Through their con- versation he suggested that she make contact with that "Roy fellow- cdown in Orono and this no doubtitriggeredl his latter phone cal!. The brief interviewý on radiho did flot go unii[ced and I have received a numiiber of phoene cadls and notes as toý thle intervýiew along with a let- fer fromr Sami Cureatz. In- cluded wvas a mnemo from a Toronto resident \with "-Good going on the radio this mnorn- ing, thec aîîached mnay interest yo u1." Thle attachnment was a letter addressed bI: His Exçellency, the Amibasýsador l'romi Po- tugal, T he Embhassy, Island Park Dr., Otawa. The letter was prefixed with "Lamient for 1)anrida, Debt and Patronage. Appeal f'or Rejec- tion of Mlackasey Appoint- ment. " Nowý this gentlemran felt as strongly. about Truideau and the Mackasey appointmient as 1 did about the lack of con- cern by aIl three polit ical par- ties as to the protection of the environmren.t.

In any event it wýas an in- teresting exercise, an addition of spice and a dlash of what life is ail about.

I was asked and to which I replied, disap- poinîed but taking hope in the fact that Mulroney sounded more a true liberal than did Turner and hopeful that Mulroney was dedicated, to his statements.
