~ va LIVE ii LIFE 1 WITHOUT MEANING?

Too many of us are in places we don’t want to be. Doing things we really don’t want to be doing. Sometimes. it’s because we can’t think of anything better to do—but that's no way to live.

Since you have only one life to

I live, you might as well live it with joy . . . with a feeling of satisfac- tionr’aud‘accomplishment . . . and the knowledge that you are giving, not taking. Why not decide to live for the best . . . for a great purpose . . . for something bigger than you are?

If you want to change the di- rection of your life, you might in- vestigate the l’aniist way of living.

“CINEMA I,

ing this in the book and the fact the author noted its location gives one a pleasant identity with this book. -

One aspect of the book I liked so much was the fact that throughout it is a book concerned with-Canada.

-Colombo has captured ' Canadian humor at it's best- and at it's worst, the puns are horrible. My own per-” sonal taste was for the gr-\ affiti. "Necrophilia means never having to say your sorry." And Immanuel Kart out Kubla Karn if Shakesp— . eare will should William Tell.»

In, a book such as this, one can only appreciate\it, if you read it yourself.

So, if you have a good Sen—r

se of humor, and would li- ke to look at some good ba— sic Canadian humor read‘ this book. . A

This book is a series of articles on t'he'progress of Red China after 1949. The articles consist main- 1y of faCts and statictics comparing pre-Mao China to post—Mao China; The book

setting out to show the distinct advantages that China has gained. Inter~ spersed with these stat— tistics is the ideology of Mao Tse Tung.

I feel the book has ach‘ ieved it's purpbse but it strikes me on the whole as being suited to only cert— ain people. If you want to know specifically what China is doing and are able to stand the repitition of certain ideological though“ which are stated over and over again, then you will

’As a whole though the WT- iting is rather dry. It re- minds me of,Canadian govenh ment publications which are pedantic and ever so boring However this book is not de

informative.
