There is a need for good theatre in this province. A very real need. Amateur theatre is all very well and fine but a man will pay to see his nephew blow cues only so many times. Act- ually, Amateur theatre is. needed as a training ground for our professionals, but if we do not start support— ing professional theatre, the amateurs are going to have no place to go but home. Professional theatre is suff— ering from a lack of support. There is in theatre as in a football game or a horse

Solzhenitlen

Among the most powerful of books to come out of the Soviet Union in recent years has to be Alexander Solzhen— itzhen's The Gulag Archipelago. Containing as it does ekplo— sive material about a penal’ system that has destroyed at least as many human lives as

'Nazi Germany's, it is easy

to understand the furor that was created upon its being

published.

Even though much can be gained from Gulag simply as a historical account that unearths oceans-full of new evidence about conditions in Leninist and especially Stalinist Russia, it is th— rough the acid sarcasm, the embittered commentary, the quiet reflections that this book is at its greatest in showing the inherent contra- dictions in a society which purports to be socialist yet condems millions of its cit— izens to torture and death for no more reason than the whim of an egomaniac or an unfilled quota.

What can be said about a book that is at the same time a historical document of major moment, a powerful statement on the human con- dition, and still so highly readable that you won't put it down? I won't even try.
