VANCOUVER (CP) — Want
to know how to start a free
School or a food co-operative?

Interested in the keeping of
bees, the care and feeding of
& l-speed bike or acquiring
land in British Columbia?

All this and much more can
be found in the B.C. Access
Catalogue, a tabloid-size sur-
vival kit of information de-
signed to turn people of all
ages on to their environment
in the province.

The first volume was a
labor of love for about 60 con-
cerned individuals, young and
not-so-young, under the loose
leadership of Dan Rubin, a
24-year-old biology graduate
from the University of Califor-
nia who believes in the credo
of David Henry Thoreau:

“T am convinced that to
maintain oneself on this earth
is not a hardship, but a pas-
time if we will live simply
and wisely,’’

The $2, 96¢-page catalogue
lists services and tells you
where to find what you're
looking for, be it used barrels,
a barjo maker or an all-steel
ratchet load binder for haul-,
ing logs toa cabin site—at the
best possible price,

The success of the first
issue—10,000 copies have al-
ready been printed and there
probably will be more—
prompted an official of the
federal Opportunities for
Youth prograrn to urge the
group to apply for a grant.

The Access people received
$7,700, allowing them to hire
nine youths to travel in B.C,
this summer and gather more
information on alternatives to
the ever-encroaching compu-
terized society.

A WAY OF SHARING

It will be incorporated in a
second edition—with a truly
provincial flavor—due out
early in October for sale at
bookstores and newsstands.

“We're trying to provide a
way for B.C. people to share
what they care about, to be
an open channel of communi-
cation,” says Mr, Rubin.

“The question the catalogue
tries lo answer is: ‘What is at
hand that we can use?’ "’

A labor of love
turns people on

The catalogue started last
summer as a casual, private
list of’ information, phone
numbers and addresses at the
Vancouver Free University
and mushroomed from there.
Sales of the first edition
barely covered the cost of
printing but the government
grant and a price increase to
$3, beginning with the October
issue, should make it self-sup-
porting.

“Places where things are
happening, like the Koot-
enays, the Gulf Islands and
Sechelt (a coastal community
north of Vancouver), will be
reflected most in the second
issue, but they will be of in-
terest in places where ideas
haven’t had a chance to mani-
fest themselves,” says Alex
Berland, an articulate 21-
year-old Englishman who
came to Vancouver nine years
ago.

“For example, there's a
People's Garage in Sechelt~

the idea being that car re-
pairs and maintenance are a
necessity, but not at an exer-
bitant price — a community
market and a coffee house, all
part of this one operation.
FIND NEW SOURCES

“In the Kootenays, there
are people who want to set up
local industry, like making
desks, furniture and toys from

wood scraps, spinoffs from

the lumber industry.”

Ali will be detailed in the
catalogue.

Creativ eenergies have
come from unexpected
sources,

Mr. Berland and Vic Marks,
who found the “something
positive” in the access cata-
logue after returning to Van-
couver from a trip to Central
America, discovered a couple
in their 70s in the Fraser Can-
yon community of Lillooet
who were setting vp a natural
foods store.

“They also want to start a
weaving workshop, to teach
weaving, and to go on from
there,” said Mr. Marks.
“They had a lot of knowledge
to share, general things about
living from experience.”

No smoking. for:public
gov't workers in B.C.

VICTORIA (CP) — British
Columbia's 27,000 provincial
zevernment employees have
been instructed not to smoke
in public while at work.

The new rule was issued by
the Civil Service Com-
mission because of com-
plaints of civil servants
biowing smoke in people's
faces,

The edict, now officially
part of the government's
Manual of Personne] Ad-
ministration, says: “‘In the
interests of courtesy to the
public, employees are re-
quested to refrain from
smoking in areas where the

public is served.”
Commission Chairman Art
Richardson denied that the
rule was an extension of the
government's ban on
cigarette advertising.

Some department heads
are apparently interpreting
the rule to mean that
government workers cannot
smoke in public view.

A highways department
employee said his super-
visors have decided that
crews clearing roadsides
cannot smoke on the job
because motorists would see
them.

Sweaty palms; hot watches

TORONTO (CP) — The beer-
bellied man in the blue-jeans
and ‘black cowboy = shirt
fidgeting impatiently in an
outside lineup for a Yonge
Street strip joint has sweaty
palms and too many wrist-
watches.

He's getting jumpy. He wants
to get inside where all the naked
girls are before the show ends
because it's an hour between
sets and he has better things to
do, other joints to hit.

While he's waiting he’s trying
to drum up a little business with
a hot wristwatch. ‘Let. you have
it cheap, $20. Made in Swit-
zerland, 24 jewels, tells you the
date as well as the time,”

He is wearing four of them,
same make, model and price,
part of a shipment ‘“‘me and
some friends boosted” on the
Montreal waterfront a few days
earlier.

It’s 10:30 on a week night in
Toronto the Good. And The
Strip-five gaudy, impolite
blocks of once-staid Yonge
Street — is going into overdrive,
getting ready for the weekend.

The harsh gut-ripping sound
of rock -music blasts out the
doors of the topless beer joints.
The standup burger palaces are
slopping out stale buns and
barely palatable meat patties to
people too hungry, or drunk, or
high to care,

MOVIE SLEEPERS

The porno moyie houses are
doing A.Fyoaring business,
despite" ‘the hippies who
regularly sleep in the back raws
because it’s less of a hassle than
the YMCA, cheaper than a
fleabag on nearby Jarvis Street,
and. they've given up on the
youth hostels long ago,

The dirty bookstores shelter a
clientele of surreptitious
browsers behind shelves and
racks, turning a fast buck
despite repeated depletion of
their stocks by a busy police
morality squad, court con-
victions and thefts by strange
people who want but can’t pay.

What it’s all about is sex and
where it’s really at is inthe strip
joints — Le Strip, Stafvin’
Marvin's and Les Girls. But it’s
a weird kind of sex
Voyeuristic, non-participatory,
a blasphemy against true
eroticism. ' -

by rows of chairs from some
long-abandoned movie theatre.

He races an East Indian

her hair in curiers and is
wearing a faded bathrobe and
carpet slippers.

Five minutes later she has
taken out the curlers — ac-
tually, she has peeled off a wig
along with everything else she
is wearing — and has forsaken
her mop to wriggle suggestively
against a chintz stage curtain.

As the sixth girl finishes there
is a polite tinkle of applause.
Then the customers get up and
file out the door silently, im-
potently past another line of
people waiting to get in.

None of the three strip joints
has a liquor licence, That's
because James Mackey,
chairman of the Liquor Control
Board of Ontario, has ruled
liquor licences stop one inch
below the navels of female -
entertainers.

You can get a licence with
topless go-go dancers, provided
they're wearing G-strings at all
times, but the strip joints have
to survive spiritless, on, their
high cover charges alone.

* “The day Mackey says you
can lake off a G-string in a’bar,.
we're out of business,” says
Howie Deverett of Le Strip,
confident that Armageddon for
the strip joints will never,
arrive.

purists =

alarmed again

LONDON (CP) — One day.
a long time ago,.so the story
goes, the then Prince of
Wales, now the Duke of Wind-
sor, had the idea of setting up
greyhound racing at the Ken-
nington Oval.

A furious Oval club member
rushed to Buckingham Palace -
and King George V instanta-
neously issued a royal veto.

The Oval is one of the cita-
dels of cricket, on the south
side of the Thames, ranking.
just next to revered Lords. It
is the traditional spot where
visiting test teams play their

_ final mateh,

Now The Oval-—to the con-
sternation of some cricket
purists—is to be invaded by
pop. There will be a music
festival on the hollowed
grounds Sept. 12.

And, says a spokesman for
Lords, its just possible that
this sacrosanct field may be

‘opened up to the pop people in

_ order to stay alive financially.

What scures cricket afici-
anados about The Oval opera-

’ tion is.what pop fans can da

to a delicately worked-over
field, After a couple of recent
pop festivals bringing up to
‘150,000 people, the ground
looked as though a thundering
herd of buffalos had been -
pawing it up. -

WILL PROTECT PITCH
However, the Surrey County
Cricket Club that runs The |
Oval says it is going to take a
chance and put down giant
mais to protect the velvet.

_freen pitehes while the

youngster sgyrate to the
music of such groups as The
Who and The Faces,

The money raised is to go ta
help the people of Bangla ‘
Desh (East Pakistan).

The Oval got into the pop
act mainly because it—like .
most cricket clubs--has been
losing money. The deficit for
the last season ‘was about
$30,000. .

“We can’t afford to go on-
losing. money every -year,"
says club secretary Geoffrey

Howard.
