BIRD ' EYE 4 ~VIE W Murder & Mayhem Anybody who has ever been awakened by what sceens like a wild pack of noisy kids trapped indoors on a rainy summer mnorning knows wvhat I mnean by thoughts uf' murder and mayhem going through their rninds. I was once a kid rnyself (contrary to popular belief) and 1 always thouglit of Sundays as a day when the world was yours to explore. On a lazy summiner rnurning shallow creeks beckon-ed with litres of slow nîoving catfish anI vacant felds, became the scene of forts built with straw,' old wood and a piece of canvias scof fed from somiebodv's tool shed. It was with these thoughts of bygone summer days that 1 casualîy picked up the TV guide last Sunday and wunder- ed if it turned to ran, vhat there was to watch on television. If You watched TV last weekend I don't have ho tell you what a surprise 1 gon. Uni îlot a prude and seldum am I shocked but when I looked over the day's roster of pro- grams for last Stinday I had to admit it hiad beeni a long time since 1 had seen such a collection of rmurder and mayhem. If you're a church goer then you would bareîy be hume from church and settled down from lunch when McCloud came on at 2 p.m. as McCloud's chief is accused of mnuider in Hawaii. The Chief gets a good working over by the heavies and McCîoud also gets the odd thumping as the plot twists to overtures of the Chief being- accused of assault on a young lady years previous to his present situa- Carnival Preview Continued from P.2 A go-kart race will bc held at Fainily Kartways, on Hwy. 12 south of Brookjir at 3 p.m. Aug. 3 with tro- phies for the winners.

Happily, the Chief djdn't murder anyone- except maybethe script but there was stili a lot'of violencefor an early Sunday afternoon. With murder and killing stili fresh, channel 2 alred a Hemingway story at 3:30 about American expatriates in post-World War 1 Europe. 1 suspected the worst was yet to corne as 1 neared prime-time television but Walt Disney came through with flying colours as 1 settled down to Watch Chip Wn Dale fight it out with Donald Duck as to who gets custody of a tree. Sure, there was the odd battie but the violence doesn't-seemn inhumane on a Walt Disney cartoon of this type because the victirns soon rally round and the scuffle continues. Global mnust think Sunday is like any other day tlfough because their Journal focuissed on the violence in Northern Ireland with interviews of memrbers of two rival factions The probl cm in lreland sceems rather complicated and a lot of' people hiave died so far but on Sunday l'rn not aboutto rnent.aliy attemrpt to solve or even get involved i 1reland. The biggest problern I waîit 10 solve on a Sunday is how to get the barbecue to stay lit so 1 can burn somcthing f'or supper. Shows yotu how deep rny religion goes -- on Sunday I still offer a burin sacrifice- but it's LIsually whaî's Ieft of a roast.

McCloud got a rerun at 8-30 while Mannix went underground with a bunchof freedorn fighters and on channel 7 Jim Brown and Gene Hackman showed what fun it is to break from prison. Because the whole thing turned into a riot it's not likely any lit tie kiddies would pick up somne tips on breaking out of the house and it's for sure they won't need help on how to start a riot. Channel 19 believes in a quiet Sunday as they talked about The Great War at 9 p.m. but the whoJe day was topped off by channel 9 at 1IO,p.m. as they dragged out al the horrers and death of World War Il with a special on the Russian-German war starring those two loveable rascals - Hitler and Stalin. The entîre episode of Sunday television did just" as 1 predicted it mighit and that was to'encite me tQ violence. I had an irresistable urge to put my foot through the tele- vision screen but at* the last minute I realized it would only solve my situation. Lawrence Welk or Bd Sullivan neyer did turn me on but if we can get themn back on Sunday television it might be worth taking a chance on the bubble machine getting out of hand. Knowing today's television it might be a hopeless cause I- can just hear Ed Sullivan saying, "Alright, let's bring on the Boston Strangler." Custom Repaîrs...
