Millions of dollars are being spent by the provincial and federal governments to stage festivities marking two holidays with opposite political significance. The Quebec government, now run by the pro-independence Parti Quebecois, has allocated $1.3 million to promote one of the most elaborate celebrations of Quebec's traditional holiday of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of French Canadians. It falls on Friday but in every provincial locality a "national" holiday will be observed throughout the week.

It Is called Heritage Week and the programs appear to be aimed at increasing the awareness of Quebecers of their past as a French-speaking people on a largely English-speaking continent and of their future as a nation. In the controversy now raging here over proposed legislation to establish the primacy of French, a Quebecer is being defined by the government as anyone who lives in Quebec. The traditional national holiday, Canada Day, comes July 1 and the federal government has decided to give it the biggest push since the country celebrated its centennial in 1967. Last year the government held almost no celebration at all on the grounds that the country's economy was in bad shape and austerity was in order. The economy is in no better condition this year but Ottawa is allocating $3.5 million to promote a countrywide display of national unity in the face of the threat now posed by the Quebec separatists.

Canada Day has become Canada Week with special emphasis on Montreal and other Quebec cities. Starting Saturday a series of activities will be staged by federalist groups in the province, culminating in a rally for national unity in one of Montreal's big sports St. Good Twin Abjrdeen Claire I Cities OS 7580 OS iruari tMnCDiHM nwtrooufctan M. 7580 7075 a Wwthcmton RocheslerT Crossi I 7580 CI 75'S(i Upper Midwest High lemperalure reading in the 12-hour period ending at 7 P.m.

cldv. sunny 4 mm a riiAtrn fin a nt AfTi parody cruel but witty By Mike Steele Staff Writer "An Evening With Dick and Jerry," the parody of small minds and large ambitions in high places, is by turns a cruel, silly, cheap, sophomoric, witty, savage and altogether hilarious little show. Of course it depends upon whose ox is being gored. Tricky Dick Nixon wouldn't like it. Gerald Ford would loathe it.

Purveyors of fair play would scream foul and my mother would turn beet red with wretched anger. Obviously playwright Erik Brog-ger and the two actors playing Nixon and Ford, Michael Laskin and Bill Schoppert, are doing something right. They've just bounded through a limited but successful run at Guthrie 2, following an even more successful run at the Edinburgh Festival and on Britain's BBC television. Not bad for a few local boys who created the show during an attack of ennui back in 1974 when they were all underemployed at the Guthrie Theater. The show has changed a lot since then, including the addition of a third section in which Nixon and Ford are interviewed about current events and future plans.

During the course of the evening we learn much the reason for the 18-minute tape gap, for instance, and what Nixon's original resignation speech was like before squares like Alexander Haig got to it. But we don't need to go into that now. The amazing thing about this show is that it makes us laugh at Watergate, a subject we're all sick of. One would guess tha any sort of dramatization Of the subject would be box-office death. But this little work is disarmingly good-natured, its occasional cheap-shot savageries notwithstanding, and, if nothing else, it takes a lot of the seriousness out of the that somber and super-sensitive national pastime we call politics.

There's Laskin doing his uncanny impersonation of Nixon, complete with a nose of Cyrano-esque proportions, and Schoppert in a little seersucker suit with shorts and a "Hi! My name is Gerald" badge on his lapel, begging Dick to "Tell me how it's going to be." The first scene is a discussion about how to stonewall and "cut the losses." The second scene is the day before the resignation which shows Nixon clobbering Ford at Spit-in-the-Ocean as he pops Valiums and discusses Carlos Casteneda and bad karma. The final scene is the interview "Maybe it was paranoid; but when the president Is paranoid, it's all right." No incisive, stilleto-edged satired this, no Swift or even Mark Twain, but likable parody and funny comedy with occasional flashes of wit and irony. The characters are well etched, the shifty-eyed, rapacious Nixon, the simple, smiling, dullish Ford. If both performances bear amazing likenesses to the real items, well they're awfully good performances. Of course, what this finally is is a playwright's revenge.

The Nixon years were so full comedy and tragedy that they almost milled theater. Now the theater is fighting back, turning politics into bad farce, Dick and Jerry into aged vaudevillians and laughing the competition out of busine.ss. This round goes to the playwright.

94 86 in Thursday In "The Exorcist," we of the gullible thrill-seeking moviegoing public were led to Delieve that Linda Blair had been possessed by the devil, but that the evil spirit had been driven out at the expense of the exorcist's life. Now in "Exorcist II: The Heretic" it is four years later, and poor Linda is having dreams so bad that she's seeing a psychiatrist. The shrink treating her is none oth-W Louise Fletcher, whom we all remember as Big Nurse from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She's now possessed of an M.D. degree but still speaking in the same onimous butter-wouldn't-melt institutional Cuckoo's Nest tones.

Fletcher insists that continued therapy, including hypnosis, can rid Linda of the dreams. Hmpf. Enter Father Richard Burton, a priest with credentials as an exorcist, who has a darker notion of what's gnawing at Linda's mind and soul. Since the good Father Burton is concerned, the doctor welcomes him to the child's therapy sessions. She introduces a gadget with double flashing lights and double beepers that helps two subjects to hypnotize each other, in tandem, so they can meet each other on the same wavelength somewhere in the subconscious.

Blair and Burton nod off to beep-beepland and discover that poor Linda, far from being rid of the devil, was and still is possessed by by a locust, one Pazuzu, King of the Evil Spirits of the Air. Flying like locusts, the two take mind-trips back into the lifetime of Father Max Von Sydow, the priest who died trying to cleanse Linda's soul in the last movie. Big Shrink Fletcher, being a cold scientist, naturally doesn't believe any of this. Before it's all straightened out, Burton has to test his faith by actually taking a trip to the same Ethiopian mountain village he and Linda see in their covisions when they're wired together. That gives director John Boorman an opportunity to make double use of a rather spectacular and dreamlike Ethiopian village set designed by Richard MacDonald.

And poor Linda has to go back to the bedroom of that house in Georgetown where the first exorcism took place to endure a new and harrowing soul-drill with the locust, while others in the cast battle a locust swarm that hits Washington like a pack of Georgia jobseekers. The Mann theater was jampacked for a Saturday matinee with an audience that remembering the first movie seemed ready and eager to enjoy letting out a few screams at the sequel. Mostly what they did was giggle, particularly at Fletcher, whose reprise of the Big Nurse inflections comes off like a oad joke in this new setting. By the time she said "Now I believe at the end, the gigglers around me had become groaners. What was missing in this test of faith versus science was a can of professional-strength Raid, not for 82 64 95 90 81 90 88 91 90 Acaputco Barbados Bermuda Bogota Cuiacan Tree pod Ouanalaiara Guadeloupe Havana mgston Montego Bay Maiatlan Mer ida Mexico City Monterrey Nassau San Juan R.

A lavishly staged and exquisitely photographed parachute sequence, in particular, was motivating my enthusiasm at the time. Also, of the handful of films about World War II that have come along lately, this Joseph E. Levine production, with Richard Atten-borough directing from a script by William Goldman, seemed to be handling the problems of language and accents most intelligently.

The Germans speak German (with subtitles for English audiences), the Dutch speak Dutch, and American and British actors speak in their native accents. Among the stars, only Gene Hackman, as a Polish general, and Laurence Olivier, as a Dutch civilian, speak accented English and only in situations in which their characters naturally would be speaking to the Americans and English in accented English. With a massive cast that includes 14 international stars of such stature that they must be top-billed alphabetically, and an even more massive collection of rumbling vintage war hardware and an absolute glut of pyrotechnics and blood, however, the sheer weight and length of the film began to undermine its other qualities. The story, based on a book by Cornelius Ryan, is the story of an overly ambitious war operation that was marked by a combination of bad luck, bungling and miscalculation on both sides. The title is an ironic lift from a remark uttered coolly and cynically by Dirk Bogarde, in the role of Lt.

Gen. Frederick Browning, after the gigantic caper has failed and left behind twice as many Allied casualties as the Normandy invasion: "I always thought we went a bridge too far." The movie itself crumples from an excess of success, since by the time all the stars and rumbling war toys have justified their places in the budget, "A Bridge Too Far" has become an hour too lon Surplus supposedly is stuff nobody wants anymore. Then how come there are at least 40 surplus stores in the Twin Cities, where customers go regularly to buy whichamacallits, thing-amajigs and doodads they WANT for work or play? Staff writer Steve Berg explores the diverse merchandise in these surplus stores, looks at who the customers are and offers suggestions on where to go if you are a surplus buyer or browser. one-d-DriYDiapLriii El filial 1 ml ilh new TRIMS POUNDS i INCHES!
