Two new parks for the Glebe by David Cavalier

This spring, work has finally begun on the vacant city property located at Bank and Holmwood and the other at Lyon and Chamberlain These are two new Glebe parks that are slated for completion in late summer or early fall.

The City of Ottawa, Rec- reation and Parks department, is working on the previously empty field at the corner of Lyon and Chamberlain(beside the Queensway ). This park is designed more for rec- reational purposes than the second one on Bank St. For summer use, a basetall diamond is already complet- ed and ready to be used, while down at the other end, two tennis courts are hoped to be finished later this summer. On the south side

of the property there is a slight incline witfa a small play area and swing for younger children. 'There are also masses of open green spaces suitable for playing soccer, football or any other activities.

In co- operation with Charles Sirn, of Lansdowne Park, the lot at the corner of Bank and Holmwooel has begun its transformation into a park with the planting of ten maple trees, a large planter for flowers and park benches. This property was used, until last winter, as a parking lot for the adjac- ent Coliseum and Rough Riders office.

When completed, this park will be nicely shaded by sugar maples, crabapple trees, mugho pines, junipers, and many bushes and shrubs sur-

rounding the area. More than a park, it will becorne an

attractive public garden with the addition of NCC type vegetable plots, canopies, an arts and crafts display, and lots of benches.

These two new parks come at a time when the long standing Recreation Chairrnan for the Glebe Community Association, Sylvia Holden, passes down her post to the new Chairman, David Cavalier.

- During her time as Chair- man, Sylvia made gre,at additions to the ever-growing amount of parks in the Glebe area. This one can easily tell by the new tot lots greatly improved playgrounds, and the transformation of useless vacant lots into well used, pleasant parks. Many thanks to Sylvia for a job

- well done.

In May parents met in the Glebe Collegiate library for a

discussion and information session. Mrs. Bolick, the only full time librarian for more than 1600 students outlined dif- ficulties of staff shortages. Mr. Kerr- Wilson, vice- principal; suggested more staff may be available in September but a

core of volunteer parents able to give even a few hours

help would reduce the bacldog of work.

The facilities in the cafeteria, even after renovations, remain woefully inadequate to serve 400-500 students in the

55 minute lunch time. Mr. Kerr-Wilson invited anyone to

corne and have lunch &wing the terrn, although he couldn't strongly recommend the food. Senior students police the

clean-up and this has improved. In the bilingual courses, monitors hired to help with

tutoring, conversation, etc. will not be available next fall and Mrs. Wagstaff would welcome any parents able to assist

with the program or offer some secretarial help. In June, a nurnber of senior students were upset to hear

that Mr. Dubinski ( History ) would not be returning to Glebe

in September. Mr. Dubinski was declared supernumery ( i. e. your Present job has evaporated although you remain contracted to teach for the Board somewhere in September when the position was filled from outside the department. Mr. King may be able to offer him a part time position created by the election of Mr. Pratt ( History ) as chairman of the local teachers' federation district.

This tenuous supernurnery category has increased across

the city with the Board's decision to increase the student- teacher ratio and to reduce the number of courses offered. There are between 72 and 82 reductions in teaching positions

in the 24 high schools ( total staff approximately 1660 ) and

and there have been fewer hirings due to retirements and leaves. While the complicated system of staff selection tries to be scrunulously fair, the facts of the financial squeeze are hard to ta. Even with eleven years experience, the last six with Glebe, a good teacher like Mr. Dubinski is not se- cured a position at the local high school, or even as a his- tory teacher elsewhere with the Board.

-Indications are that the problem is going to increase in the future. Across Ontario the projected figures are that 18% fewer students will be in grade 13 by 1985. For tax payers the cost of running a high- priced system, even with enrole- ment drops, does not guarantee lower teacher-student ratios or improved quality of education. Let us hope that an equal prpportion of financia2 trimming is going on at the adminis- trative levels as well as at the vital teacher --classroom levels.

Playing a lively tune

after 87 summers

by Bill MacPherson Yesterday one of the Glebe's more interesting residents,

P. J. "Perry " Bryson turned 87. Perry is specially well known

t o the inhabitants of First Ave, who are familiar with his stories of Old Ottawa days, and his mouth organ playing.

Mr. aryson worked in the newspaper business all his life up

until his retirement in 1959. He spent 50 years with the Journal handling operations on the bank compositor, a vital cog in the mechanical departments make-up operation, through

which all type is funneled. The eldest of a family of ten, his father was a harness maker

in Eganville, where he got his first start in the newspaper in- dus try on the Eganville Leader. He started out as a delivery boy, making 25ct a day for delivering the paper to the whole of

Eganville, "every dog knew me". His printing career started at fifteen, when his uncle P. McHugh, owner of the Eganville Leader gave him a job sluring the su.mmer, setting type. He

then quit school and served as an apprentice for the Leader for 3 years. He was a full time printer for another four years

at the Ledder until he moved to the Journal in 1909.

In the midst of his explanation of what a bank compositor was, he stfddenly asked me what my last name was. No sooner had I replied than he was out of the room. He returned a

moment later with his eight sided mouth organ (he has three of them ) playing "Scotland the Brave "and later "Roll out

the Barrel ". When I suggested he play at a community or

other event he replied that he had played at some "sometimes for five hours at a time." but felt that some of

the associations take up too much of your time. Automatic machines were just coming in when Mr Bryson

retired, and since 1960 they have replaced so many people that that his printer's Union Pension has dropped from $100 to $12

a month, because there aren't enough printers around to pay the Union dues to keep the Pensions going. Still Mr Bryson

doesn't feel "ripped off " because he says it was a very in- teresting life working on a newspaper and he "wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again. "

Happy Birthday Mr Bryson

At 6.30 prn , Tuesday, June 29, commencement exercises were held for Glebe Coll- egiate's graduating students .

Graduates arriving at the school found the front park- ing lot filled with neatly .

arranged rows of orange and blue plastic chairs,set up for the outdoor ceremony. However,due to the ever- pr ese nt threat of rain, the final decision to hold the proceedings in the school auditorium was made fifteen minutes before the ceremonies were scheduled to begin.

The atmosphere was rest- rained and solemn as grad- uates arrived at 5.30 pm. in order to be fitted for gowns. Small, white filing cards were to be filled out with the person's name and plans for the fall,so that they could be read when the diplomas were presented. While some searched for the humourous exit line to use on their card, others talked in small hushed groups around the room.

At 5.50 pm, the Marshal and his aides began the dif- ficult task of arranging the grads into two lines, in alp- habetical order.Award win- ners were singled out and given instructions while every- one was filled in on entrance, exit, and seating plans, along with some other minor details. ("The diplomas you'll get aren't real, guys . You can pick the real ones up anytime after the show.")

Finally, at 6.25 the lines moved out of the cafeteria, up the stairs and through the halls to the auditorium side doors. The audience rose and the graduating students entered in stately procession to the Glebe Band playing "March Processional."

Magda Kubasiewicz

The Principal of Glebe, John King, welcomed the grads and introduced the first speaker, the assistant head of English, Peter Carver. Mr. Carver was to deliver the official address to the grad- uates. Avoiding the moraliz - ing and advice for the future that are usually a part of the Address, he dwelt instead on events and people during the last five years at Glebe. He ended the relatively short and poignant speech with Al Purdy's " Hiroshima".

For the next hour, the ceremonies reverted back to what is now standardproce - dure, as groups of graduates were presented with awards and their diplomas.

The top two students in the school were Boldwin Toye and Magda Kubasiewicz. Other assorted special awards and scholarships were given to those students with a high standing in different subjects. The giving of the Special Donor award was halted by a very emotional moment, when Magda Kubasiewicz turned down the Henry Birlcs award ( to the student who has contributed the most during their five years at Glebe ) in favour of Bruce Rigby. They both received a standing ovation from the graduating students.

The presentation of Diplomas revealed that most of the graduated planned to go on to higher education, while the plans of some were censored by the person behind the microphone.So much for the exit lines.

The valedictory address challenged the triviality of the high school experience, from the veiwpoint of the student. The valedictorian was Magda Kubasiewicz,a person who obviously

contributed far more than her share to the school.

After the ceremony, there was a reception downstairs for the graduates, their guests and staff members. For many it was a very poignant and moving occasion- for the graduates, their last official visit to Glebe.

Poignant exit lines by Rob Stewart

On April 1, Dan MacKinnon, a Glebe resident and civil servant, along with two of his Ottawa friends, opened the ninth Pre-Confederation Furniture workshop and show- room in Canada. It is located at number 20 Enterprise avenue off Merivale road in Ottawa's West End.

Pre- Confederation Furniture makes and deals in exact reproductions of original pieces of furniture found in the Maritimes, Ontario, and Quebec during the years 1770- 1870 constucted according

to the craftsmanship and skills of Canada's early cabinet makers.

"We wanted to see the skills of the pioneers carried on and not lost. So Pre-Confed- eration is employing the same old cabinet making skills in furniture as years agol' Mr. MacKinnon says. The furniture is entirely handmade and no nails are used in the produc- tion.

The wood used in the more than 60 finished pieces is Ontario white pine from the upper Ottawa valley. Pine is one of the more inexpensive woods and Dan MacKinnon is

concerned that the company's future stay within the price range of the m&lerate income people. "If it doesn't, it will become too much of an elitist product and we couldn't stay in business"' Mr. Mac.Kinnon said.

'111in price range of items at the store 'ranges from $15 for picture frames to $995 for the grandfather clock.

Pre-Confederation will be off- ering the same line of furniture

in the more expensive cherry wood although the Ottawa corn pany will not be carrying it immediately.

Of the nine locations across Canada, the Vancouver, Cal- gary, London, St. Catherines and Ottawa companies have workshops where the furniture is made. ( The other locations are Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Toronto. )

The Ottawa workshop employs two master cabinet makers, two apprentices on a provincal government sponsored program and one master finisher.

They do" all the things that would have been done by early cabinet makers ", said Mr.

MacKinnon, which includes wood- to- wood joinings such as

dovetails, mortisva., and tenons. The only modern touch is the protective urethane finish app- lied.

Each furniture piece when con- structed is hand sanded, rubbed and stained to allow a natural ageing.

"We let the wood do its own

finishing with age. In five years these pieces will be in- distinguishable from antiques,"

Mr. MacKinnon explained. Dan MacKinnon clainns Pre-

Confederation will never make a lot of furniture by inand. He is very proud of the quality of

the furniture to come out of the Ottawa workshop and boasts: "We have the best chairs in Ontario. Even Four Corners buys our chairs."

If the "Festival for the Folks", held at Brewer Park

last weekend, wasn't a finan- cial success it certainly was

a cultural success. The three day music festival was spon- sored by the Carleton Univ- sity Student's Association and financed with a Wintario

from the "Festival Stars"

concert held at the Civic Centre on Sunday ni' '.. Over

20,000 people came to listen to the over 30 groups and musicians at Brewer Park which included John Allen Cameron, Dan Hill, BIM, Ian Tamblyn, Bytown Blue- grass, Pied Pumkin, David

Wiffen and many others. At the Brewer Park field

there was a main stage, three workshop stages, and many art and crafts display tables. The concert on Sunday night only 'attracted a disappointing 1,500 people who paid the $5.50 fee to cover the fest-

ival's cost and to insure that grant and the with the revenue there would be a festival

next year. As a result of

that CUSA lost a total of

$15,000 which they hope to

make up from a benefit concert sometime in August. If you enjoyed this festival, and would like tO see another One next summer, please go

on tour The hard working cast of the Great Canadian Theatre

Company rehearsed all June for a touring production of "Yonder Lies The Valley " by Bernie Bedore a native of the Ottawa valley. This legendary play with its fast paced fiddling, step dancing and original songs is a piece of Ottawa valley history that captures the audience in the drama and trials of the old lumbering days. Offered to the Glebe last November, crowds were turned away from The Quaker Friend's House on 4th Ave. With a new cast directed by Douglas Campbell of

Carleton University Drama Department, this production with its infectious, nostalgic shanty tunes by Bill Berndt of Arnprior will play at the Glebe Community Centre August 6 and 7th and again August 14 and 15th at 8:00pm.

The G. C. T. Company was approached by Renfrew County to take the play on surnmer tour and with a small Wintario grant the Company, before setting off with loaded bus offered senior citizens at the Glebe Centre a pre - run show on July 2nd.some of the towns include Vinton, Beachbury, Comberrnere and Killaloe using whatever facilities ava ilable, Orange halls high schools, a free tent Theatre show at Kingston during Olym- pic events and an old hotel at Quyon, Quebec.

This enormously versatile cast, acting, singing and dancing several roles each has a tight schedule of 22 Valley and East- ern towns and 28 productions including their finale at The Glebe Community Centre August 14 and 15th. Tickets will be avaiblable at the door. Come and join in the warmth and fun.

They came to the fair . . .

by Ursula Thomson

. . . the June 12th "Fun Fair", that is , which once again lived up to it's reputation as the Glebe's biggest annual bash. As in the past, Third Avenue at the Community Center was transformed into a fairground with colourful tables, stands, and even a bandshell- the "Showmobile". Games for children of all ages were set up in adjoining playgrounds where squeals and shrieks of delight attested to the activities popularity. Bake sale tables were again mobbed by appreciative gourmets and chili burgers and soft drinks disappeared rapidly.

An additional theme this year was the 150th anniversity of Bytown and in honour of the occasion many children had inventively decorated their bikes, trikes, prams, and wagons and marched behind the Dow's Lake Sea Cadet Band on it's kick-off parade through the neighborhood. The decorations Were later judged and winners chosen with great difficulty. Jason Jorgensen came first with his teepee decorated with Indian motifs, Louise Goodman, in a period costume of long dress , apron, and bonnet and pushing a decorated pram came second , and brothers Alex and Jeffrie Bernie were third with their life-like mini-zoo. All received prizes and an anniversary pin .and smiled for the cameras.

Other new events were a concert by the Glashan Band, whose irnpressive repertoire included Haydn's "London Symphony", a

canine performance by Dave Coldrick's Dog Obedience class, and an impromptu tug- o'- war by the adults who were really getting into the spirit of things.

The evening closed with the by now traditional square dance where grandparents and youngsters alike hopped and do- se- doed to the music. Many thanks are due to the volunteers of

all ages who made it a great afternoon, and the weatherman, who came through superbly. If by some unlucky chance you missed the Fair, it will be back next year - see you then!

summer madness

Tuesday June 29, evening: Mr. Mike McGuire.is unfor- tunately unable to attend the graduation ceremonies, for he is in the gym, attending to surnmer school registration. Wednesday June 30: Mr. Mc- Guire has been up since 5:00 a.m. after a good three hours of sleep. He has merely to

hire 75 extra teachers within three days. By 2:00 p.m. of

the first day, there are only seven more to be hired. Monday July 5: Mr. McGuire runs in and out of the office, constantly. The secretary girl-Friday ( alias Miss Jac- queline Hogg) works from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p,m., "sans break" ...typing dittos, answering phone calls, filing pink sheets etc. A thousand kids shuffle through the halls.

No, it's not a scene from some movie. It's the begin-

program being held at Glebe

Collegiate from July 5th to

August llth. Mr. McGuire

( vice- principal of Glebe ) is

principal of the four summer

schools in the city. Original- ly, the Ottawa Board of Edu-

cation expected 200- 300 stu- dents to enrol at the Glebe school. By Monday morning, almost 1000 students had re- gistered, with 200 more to come the next day. Hence, Mr. McGuire was launched into his mad quest for tea- chers.

The staff includes such

The summer school is

designed for students who wish to make up credits in subjects they attempted but did not pass over the year. Each student may take a maximum of two courses.

A talk with Lionel Britton

by Blaine Marchand

"I've lived in the same house in the Glebe for over sixty- five years and I've had this business ten years next February" says Mr. Britton, and to my mind the Glebe is becoming a better place to live".

Mr. Britton is of course the owner of Britton's Smokeshop. If you want newspapers, magazines, tobacco or the latest rumours about the Rough Riders, Britton's is a place you can find it.

"I went to Mutchmor Public School, then spent my first year of high school at Lisgar. Glebe Collegiate was being built and when it was finished I concluded school there. After graduation I worked for the government in the Depar- tment of Transport. When I retired from the government, I felt I wasn't ready to stop working. I wanted to do some- thing different for the next four or five years.

"I explored several possibilities. One night a friend phoned because he knew that this business was up for sale. Knowing me and knowing I knew the Glebe, he suggested it. So I

bought it. I'm glad I did because I enjoy meeting people". "The business was previously run by Dave Bruce and it

had been established for over thirty years. He originally worked for a fellow named Donaldson who owned the build- ing. It was the same type of business . . . I've made no changes. The volume has increased, but it's just the same . . . .magazines, papers, tobacco."

"I moved recently because I was aware that Home Hard- ware wanted to expand. I lmew that the previous tenant here was closing, so I went to the landlord and arranged to move in here. The reason wasn't to expand. As it turned out I'm fortunate . . . it's easier to keep clean, there's more light, generally it's better. I'm sure as a result the volume will increase. "

Lionel Britten in his new store. Photo: Toby Sanger

""At my age I suppose I should give some consideration to giving it up, but as long as my health holds out I don't want to retire. I enjoy it, mind you, you have to work every day, even when others have holidays, because the business is here to serve the cus- tomer and that means staying open."

The soccer season is al- ready one- third through, and the Glebe Rovers Soccer Club can claim to have made a sound and sornetimes spect- acular start.

It has fielded eight teams this year, 3 competitive and 5 recreational teams, and two teams each in the Pee- wee, Mosquito, Atoms and Tykes age- groups. At the Bantam level*, Glebe players have joined with Riverside to form a dynamic South Ottawa club, thanks to the initiative of Jack Elliott. More later about the fortunes of these allied teams; first a

report on the eight wholly Glebe squads.

Peewees I, coached by Ron Bolton, began slowly by losing three games but recently beat Glens and March Morale and teamwork under their captain Fiore Pace has improved. The Long broth- ers, Jimmy and Andrew, will be sorely missed. But new- comer Callum Mackenzie has played well, while goalkeeper Bill Polimenakos has shown fine potential.

Peewee II is playing in the Nepean recreational league, coached by Gordon MacNeil. With 14 regulars, they have won 4, lost 2 and tied once. Marion Black is the chief goal scorer, while Michael Prolet has been the best all-round player. Paul Bowen has become a good goalkeeper.

Mosquito I, coached by George Wright, has as its nucleus the old cupwinning Atoms of 1974, supplemented by six boys from Alta Vista

and Lycee Claudel, and is the most competitive of the Glebe city teams. It has been led by oldtimers such as Geoffrey Lee, playing excellently in goal i Richard Connell improving further as centre- forward; and Jacques Neatby an offensive-minded cen tre- half. Newer acquisitions Michael Jeffrey, Sean Holmes and Charles Couter have been excellent. A highly spirited tearn, it has won 4 and lost 4, including a stunning upset of Clippers, who have lost to no- one else.

The second Mosquito tearn should, from their strength, be playing in the city league's Division 2, rather than in Nepean recreational soccer, where they have overwhelmed all their opponents by rnasive scores, mostly piled up by Wolf Wall, Nico Pantieras and Peter Connell. Other good performances have come from Alex Matthews, Jerome Jeffrey, David Collins, Michel Ranger and Alan Gray.

Fruitful alliance A fruitful alliance was

made with Riverside this year to combine at Bantam level, since neither club had enough players who had passed 14 to field a regular and respectable team.

Thanks to the energy of coaches Karl Havelcik, Jack Elliott and Bob McCaughan, the alliance has been a big success.

Nothing if not bold, Jack entered one handpicked

Bantams team in the Junior league. They have played up to his ;and Karl's expect- ations, winning six of their eight Division I games. Their two losses, 3-1 in each case by Tigers and St Anthonys, were close games in which the third goal of the opponerm was only scored in the last few minutes. Several young Glebe players -- Richard Sanger, Ken Kirkhope and Nicky Lombardo among them -- have shone in this exciting team. Before the league season began, the team comp- eted in a tournament in Penn- sylvania, where they lost to

a team that had performed creditably against the West German Under 18s. So they have been exposed to some really high calibre teams.

The other Bantam team of this alliance, named the Internationals, are in the tough first division bantam league . They lost their first five games, but since then have come together strongly, to tie two games and then beat the Royals. Frank Pace, Kevin Murray, David W and , Jo Jaffey, Matt and Toby Sanger, and Ian McKinnell (at least before he left for Thailand) made a

handsome contribution from the Glebe area to this com- bined team.

Two older Glebe players, Winston Brown and Chapman Yboh, have been playing in the senior South Ottawa team, called the Olympics. The Olympics also compete in the Prime Junior League. One way or another, thanks to good neighbors, these older Glebe players have found an avenue into mature soccer.

elsewhere, for generating so much enthusiasm in this team in his first coaching season.

Atoms I (coach David Beer) have show-n great spirit and improved their skillS. While they have lost six games

and won one, five of their losses were only by a single goal. Daphne Carmody has been outstanding on the half line, while Frank Menendez has becorne a good striker. Dave Beer laments that they have been allotted Lycee Claudel as home ground, while Glebe High School's ground is unused. Anyone know why ?

Atoms II have had close garnes, and usually the side with most reserves came out on top. Hillary Nangle is a player for scouts to watch.

At Tykes level the girls take most of the honors. Jennifer Rayner and Kathy Goodings in the Whites team, Ruth Priddle and Pippa Hugg- ins on the Maroons. But for ability Mark Levac and

for enthusiasm Mathew Cassidy can't be beaten.

The club has been fort- unate in getting so many new coaches -- Gordon MacNeil, Hugh Nangle, Michael Coote, Colin Freebury as well as John Rayner -- and several willing managers. Some warns, the Atoms and Tykes especially, have been blessed with parents prepared to drive and telephone and other needed things. The older teams could benefit from the same amount of volunteer- ing. For example, Gordon MacNeil (232-9167) would reaLly welcome a call from someone wanting to be his team's manager !

GLEBE SOCCER

Middling through by GEORGE WRIGHT

An instant community at Habitat Forum by CLYDE SANGER

An instant community . It sounds like the wild claim of some real estate agent or developer. But for two memor able weeks the Habitat Forum really was a living, fully functioning -- vibrant may be the best adjective -- comm- unity. It may be interesting for people in the Glebe to analyze how it happened.

Compared with the official Habitat conference, which took place in sumptuous hotels and theat-es in downtown Vancouver, the Forum faced apparently heavy discourage- ments. Five old seaplane hangars in a loose circle, a bit of a marsh and a hillside slope -- not much in the way of facilities; at first sight.

But, in fact, it was perfect.* Unlike the downtown conference, it retained sorne connection with the subjects being discussed -- housing for the world's poor, programs of self-help, ideas for appropriate technolog-y. When the wind blew off English Bay into the hangars, we huddled closer to each other and pulled RCAF blankets tighter around us: and talk and reality converged.

It wasn't just a bit of mortification of the flesh that made a community, though.

Many writers have already praised the way that Al Clapp and his workers transformed the hangars into arenas for debate, by fishing huge logs out of the Fraser River and cutting them into planks that were piled in high tiers. They also fitted out a dozen small workshop and seminar rooms with imagin- ative use of these cedar planks and odd bits of wood.

But that was only the framework. The people, and their use of space, made it into a community. The open space between the hangars, where everybody crisscrossed, was very important. A lot of logs had been left there, a challenge to creativity. Sculptors chiselled away at them; children used some sliced ones as teeter-totters; seminar groupe over- flowed from the hangars onto them. On sunnier days people sat and dozed on these tree-trunks, waiting for friends to come by.

You could take your choice of sideshows. For some it was the rather frenetic-storyteller Brother Blue, leaping about with balloons on his shoulders and a page of biography that said he had a Ph. D. from Harvard. Much more fun was The Portable Theatre, a group of five Ottawans managed by Jake Brooks, who enchanted children and adults alike with the liveliest allegories on the "Save the Earth" theme.

And everyone was keen to talk, to ask questions, to ex- change ideas. There were of course the "heavies" and the saints -- Barbara Ward, Maurice Strong and Mother Tereza -- but some of the best discussions came with much less eminent people.

There were tensions and arguments, but the cornmunity imposed restraints on these differences. One in which many people got involved concerned the contest to design a new settlement for 500 families from the Manila slums, won by a young New Zealand architect, Ian Athfield. Speakers from the Philippines and elsewhere criticized the contest, mainly because the Marcos government had not consulted the people of the area; but nobody blamed Ian, and we all walked up the hillside to see the model house he had knocked together in five days. (Much more relevant tha_n Buckminister Fuller's $20,000 "Now" house).

And most people also felt involved in the begirmings of a crusade, that had still a long way to go. This was a campaign to get governments to stop building nuclear plants for a long enough time to explore the possibilities of other energy sources. The campaign got nowhere with the delegates downtovvn, but many at the Forum simply accepted that this was going to be another matter about which the people would have to teach their governments some sense over the next few years.

Among all the Appropriate Technology stalls and inform- ation booths in Hangar 8 were plenty of people who were deep into alternative energy sources. The NRC windmill (more like an egg-beater) high on the hillside, and Mr Chang from

Fiji who knew all about turning pig-manure into methane gas and had lots of slides of his "digestors". Visions of a reass- uring future.

Though the first excitement of the place wore off in a week, the second week was for many of us better than the first. People had given up unrealistic ideas of influencing the downtown delegates much, if at all. They had learnt which of the dozen things going on simultaneously they want- ed to attend. They had built up a network of acquaint- ances. They were a live part of a stimulating community.
