You will have a greater amount of peace, serenity and understanding in the days ahead. Discuss with vour con By BERNICE JOHNSTON In a few more weeks the giants will begin to awaken around Tucson. Their tightly closed eyes will open into beautiful white blossoms and Papagos will rejoice.

The giants are saguaro cacti and they bring a lot of goodies. For as long as these Indians have lived on the Sonoran Desert they have harvested saguaro fruit. Each family owns harvesting rights to certain areas and these are hand- The new circular structure facing Potomac Basin is scheduled for completion in November, but vast unfinished areas must remain sealed off from use indefinitely. Thomas C. Fichandler, business boss of Arena Stage, points out certain contrasts between planning and actuality.

"Five years ago we all thought that by now the federal government would be strongly in the arts. That doesn't look likely in the near future. "When we started here we were told that the main problem for a theater was audience building. That wasn't so at all. We fill the theater to over 90 per cent of capacity all the time, but with every seat always filled there would still be a deficit." Nineteen-thousand subscribers are the solid core of a box-office gross that covers 60 per cent of expenses.

Despite the financial problems there isn't going to be any cutback in the programming intentions of Zelda Fichandler, the undisputed driving force behind Arena Stage's considerable esthetic achievements. She and her husband founded the enterprise in 1950. By WILLIAM GLOV ER WASHINGTON (AP) The friendly drama rivals of the nation's capital each want half a million dollars, urgently. For different uses, but identical purposes, staying alive and well. Their efforts accent growing concern about survival and growl in many acting troupes across the country, confronted with the prospect of ebbing foundation grants and uncertainty about future federal government aid.

For the Arena Stage, one of the oldest resident companies, and the Washington Theater Club, the smallest professional entity, the situation is particularly ironic. Interest in culture is high, but the populace is highly transient and immune to pleas based on civic pride. Arena Stage has been trying for almost three years to raise $500,000 locally to match a $1 million Ford Foundation grant. The company's first public appeal since it was founded in 1950 is still $90,000 short. The money is for a 450-seal playhouse next to the 800-scal center that opened in 1961, when enthusiasm about a cultural explosion was high across the land.

Canada Puts Cash Where Culture Is Government Allots $9.6 Million For Arts OTTAWA (AP) When it comes to paying for culture, Canada and the United States are far apart. The problem in both is identical for the performing and visual arts how to bridge boxoffice income and creative cost. In the United States the. solution is mainly provided by private philanthropy and emergency fund drives. Up here, plugging much of the gap is a government obligation.

A few figures show the contrast: During the next year the Canadian government will spend $9.6 million on painters, dancers, poets, actors and musicians; about 80 cents out of every $1,000 in the federal budget.

John Adams wanted the job, and Pinckney was accused of being far too close to British interests to serve America effectively. The history of the Pinckney ambassadorship, from 1792 to 1796, is gone into by Dr.

Jack L. Cross, former University of Arizona Press director and since 1965 on the staff of the coordinating board of the Texas College and University System. Dr. Cross believes that historians have given Pinckney a bad deal. He credits Pinckney with laying the groundwork for the Jay treaties and with a diplomatic victory relating to freedom of the seas.

Every American who has had history through grade school has read of the strain on British-American relations caused by impressing of home, he discovered his name had been proposed for the presidency. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson ran ahead of him. John Jay was sent to London as an envoy extraordinary to negotiate the press gang situation, reimbursement to British merchants on the American frontier as a result of the Revolutionary War, and other kindred things. He received Pinckney's full help, it is significant that the climate of public opinion was such that even what Jay was able to negotiate with Lord Grenville came in for suspicion and anger in the United States. A reading of Dr.

Cross' book reveals the perils of the early days of the American republic, especially in establishing diplomatic relations with the country from which it had just severed ties. The saguaro is a great mass of wattr-laden flesh surrounding a circle of ribs that holds up the tonnage. An old plant weighls from six to 10 tons and can hold a ton of water. When it dies, the flesh withers and falls off and the ribs stand exposed. These serve many needs.

One is to be used as a fruit picking stick. Papagos pick, the ribs to pick the fruit. As some plants grow to 50 feet, getting the fruit calls for a long stick. Sometimes two ribs are spliced together with thongs or wire to gain the length. Near the far end, a smaller stick is tied at a 45 degree angle and below it another at the opposite angle.

With this arrangement, a ripe fruit can be pulled down from above or pushed up from below. One woman picks and another picks up as the fruit hits the ground. If it is very ripe it splits apart exposing a scarlet pulp full of little black seeds. If the shells don't break as they fall the stem that is still attached is a ready-made knife. It is broken off, the shell is slit with it, and the woman scoops out the inside with her thumb all in one motion.

The heat of the July desert demands that the fruit be cooked immediately. This is done slowly in an olla over an open fire. It is then strained and a cherry-red juice is obtained. This is the base for syrup and wine. The longer syrup is kept the browner it turns until it becomes the color of sorghum or other molasses.

It mskes a wonderful tonping for ice cream or hot cakes.

"We don't have Vietnam or some of your other obligations, a Canadian executive says. "But also you haven't reached the degree of recognition of public responsibility that we have." Achieving that "national political commitment to the arts" is regarded by The Canada Council, which administers the culture program, as "perhaps the most significant event since it was set up 13 years ago. The National Council on the Arts in Washington is now edging into jts fourth year. Created at just about the time "culture explosion" fever was spreading across the continent, The Canada Council has expanded its work of assistance steadily while some individually geared stateside ventures have flared, faltered or faded utterly.

When bubbles appear on the top it is ready and the ceremonies commence with songs and dancing. After this, hopefully, rains come. And so it has gone for generations. No matter how one may long for summer rains, they just won't come in earnest until the saguaro is harvested and the rain ceremonies completed. If you own a saguaro or two and dream of the goodies they might bring, the Arizona State Museum shows you the paraphernalia you will need to make it all come true.

Jam is also made with the fruit. Some is eaten fresh. Other fruit is spread on a small rack and dried. Seeds are laboriously hand worked out of the fruit, roasted and ground. The dried fruit is formed into cakes and kept for winter use.

And last but not least wine is made from the syrup. This is the important part of the harvest as it signals ceremonies for rain. Syrup is brought to the "rain house" and under the secret ministrations of elders it is properly and ceremoniously prepared.

Keep busy at what ever will make you more af fluent in the future. Make home American seamen by British press gangs and harassment of American shipping. This was a problem Pinckney tackled and found, almost insoluble, due to the fact England was moving toward war with France and was not inclined to be negotiated out of doing something which provided seamen. Also, some "impressed" seamen actually were solicitous of going to the British for financial reasons. Fmaly, however, Pinckney obtained a revocation by the British of the impressment policy; news coming to him just as he returned to London from a period of mourning spent in the countryside after the death of his wife, Betsey.
