THE PROVINCE, Thursday, May 20, 1971 31 International affairs JrrJ Canadians paying third of world body's budget Poprock personality Hair veteran sings happily Hair After By BENOIT HOULE Canadian Press PARIS An international conference in Canada this fall will chart the future course of an agency established a year ago to promote technical and cultural co-operation among the French-speaking countries of the world. Montreal journalist Jean-Marc Leger, 43, secretary-general of the Paris-based organization, regards the conference as a milestone marking the emergence of the new agency from its "experimental phase." Delegates from the 22 member countries' are to establish a program of action for the agency and approve a budget to cover the next two years. "I hope this conference will give the agency the means to assert itself," Leger said in an interview at his office. "For the moment, I can only express my great satisfaction with the interest shown by all governments in the agency and the contact it gives me with all the great currents of civilization." The Agency for French-Language Cultural and Technical Co-operation was born at a conference of French-speaking Countries in Niger in March, 1970. At that meeting, 90 per cent of the agency's expenses were underwritten by three senior countries France, Cana- a printing plant, then I'd have to cut my hair off, which would have been a really bad thing to happen." So one day he decided that "I could work up a good entertaining band featuring me and two girl singers, and the title of the act came to me, too, something to keep the connection with Hair HairAfter." Besides the two female vocalists, Mary Ann McDonald and Linda Squires, the band has another Hair graduate, drummer Kid Carson.

Other members of the band are Wally Rossi of Montreal, guitarist, Doug Richardson, tenor saxophone, and Val Stephens, organ. The band's repertoire is middle-of-the-road by rock standards ballads by Hal David, Bert Bacharach or James Taylor, or the hard rock of Joe Cocker or Chicago. St. John was the first cast member hired for the Toronto production of Hair and stayed with it to the end. It got him out of a Yonge Street club where he had to compete with topless dancars for Canadian Press TORONTO One sacrifice Wayne St.

Going back to his old job as a pressman would have cost him his Afro-style haircut. The only way to save the hair was to stay in show business. So the seven-piece rock group, HairAf-ter was, at least in part, a product of St. John's unwillingness to give up his coiffure.

The result is a band, fronted by St. John and two female graduates of Hair, that recently completed a record eighth week at Grannie's, one of this city's leading rock clubs.

Other members, many of them newly independent African countries are: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Dahomey, Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Monaco, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, South Vietnam, Togo, Tunisia and Upper Volta. The first year's budget was set at a modest $320,000, increasing to about $2 million this year.

Canada's share was $110,000 last year and will be about $700,000 for 1971. Leger, secretary-general of the agency since it was founded, has worked for both Le Devoir and La Presse in Montreal and once, between newspaper jobs, spent 18 months in Quebec's cultural affairs department. Much of his time with the agency has been spent in drafting plans for future activity, but he noted that the agency already has some physical accomplishments to its credit. One is the establishment of a $20,000 prize to be awarded annually to the best film-maker from a member country. It was presented for the first time last year to Babacar Samb of Senegal.

Another is an international exhibition of handicrafts put together last December with the aim of finding new markets for the handicrafts of member countries. The exhibition of about 600 items is going to Canada this summer after tour-1 ing the main cities of France and will be shown in Fredericton, Quebec, Mon-: treal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg. A third project is Operation Jeunesse, an exchange program for young people starting this summer. Its goal is to enable 100 French-speaking Africans to trade places for a month with 100 young people from France, Belgium or Canada. Leger said the exchange will be more than a tourist trip.

It would be "a real voyage of information and discovery" for young people of 18 to 25. Preference would be given to young workers usu--ally overlooked in such exchanges and to technical students. One of the first undertakings of the fledgling agency was the planning of an international school at Bordeaux, France, to provide training in modern management techniques. The school is to open its doors next January to its first enrolment of about 40 students. After an initial eight-month course, the students are to spend three months in Canada for practical training and then return to France for a final academic year.

Leger said planning is going ahead for a wider range of agency activity. Two seminars have been held in Senegal on books and movies, with a view to taking an inventory of needs and circulating material among member countries. Similar seminars have been held in other countries on topics such as tourism and handicrafts, the civil service and educational television, and this fall the agency plans to start publishing a half-yearly bulletin on tourist information from member countries. Other future possibilities include an international French-language university, the establishment of cultural centres in larger cities and an artistic and sports festival for young people on the pattern of the Olympic Games. Leger said the fall conference in Canada, first such gathering since the agency was founded, "is important because it will enable the agency to emerge from its experimental phase and enter its operational phase." inspired songs from the hit parade.

It is the Hall of the Peoples of the Pacific, a major permanent addition to the museum that presents the life styles of the last primitiye human cultures to be discovered by Western pian. As the wave sounds died away during a press preview, a loudspeaker over the Polynesian exhibit played the recorded sounds of rhythmic island chants.

Spacious glass cases displayed dozens of artifacts characteristic of the broad Polynesian culture that spread to hundreds of tiny Pacific islands centuries ago. In other sections of the hall are presented the music and objects of other Pacific cultures Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, Nelanesia, and Micronesia. Bright, airy and blue, the huge hall suggests the vastness of the South Pacific sky and sea, and the almost idyllic ways of life that are rapidly vanishing. Almost awash in the sights and sounds stood Margaret Mead whoj off and on over the last half century, has lived among the people whose tools and trappings are displayed. "The Pacific peoples are really fascinating, you know.

I think they show us such a great variety of cultures," she said. "Many of them developed in such isolation on their little islands that they developed unique ways of life. They're not at all like some other parts of the world where everything is the same." Dr. Mead, who is curator emeritus of DR. MARGARET MEAD ethnology at the museum, conceived the hall when she began her Pacific studies 45 years ago.

She said that completion of it, which she supervised, represents paying back a debt incurred when the museum gave her freedom to study the Pacific cultures. The hall houses 163 glass cases not the cumbersome wooden tombs that were used in the past but large show windows protecting the delicate and often irreplaceable the Dolls and Airport but skipped the standard flesh movies because even a collector of bad memories occasionally gets bored, Well, M.Q., I have a couple of new ones to recommend. I think you're crazy but I think you'll like them. 5 First, a David Niven-Virna Lisi come- dy titled The Statue, now at the Capitol, "Richmond Square and Lougheed Drive-in. It's about a famous Nobel Prize winner whose wife, a sculptor, creates a 30-foot statue of her husband.

As sculptors have a habit of doing, it's in the nude. But there's an added touch designed to send moviegoers giggling or snickering to the rafters. One vital organ har, har, har of the statue is not that of husband David Nivcn, who spends the rest of the film looking for the rightful owner. As far as I know, there is no other plot variation in the story, merely several hundred feeble attempts to prove that sex is dirty, after all. What's worse, it proves that dirty jokes aren't all funny.

second choice for your collection, M.Q., is Raid on Rommel, starring Richard Burton and John Colicos, both of whom should know better. This standard war film is just that. Instead of beating the baby or running down pedestrians, aggressive moviegoers with problems to work off will find relief in watching Burton zap Rommel and Rommel zap Burton right back i again. Most of the movie was filmed last year, but those with good memories of the 1966 Tobruk or a TV rerun of same 'may recognize some remarkably similar footage of expensive special effects, mostly explosives. If one explosion looks the same as another to you, maybe you'll experience deja vu in another fashion.

Burton looks Russian makes comeback DAVID NIVEN looking for the mysterious har, har, har missing mate. his age but his curly locks are as blond as those of the fair-haired German troops. Also, there are those long treks through the desert and a bilingual German-English soundtrack that takes into account the banality of the script. One doesn't understand the German, but it doesn't matter anyway. A weak injection of moral confict is added when Burton joins forces with a group of medical corps POWs, some of whom are pacifists.

And just to round out the plot, an Italian camp-follower, portrayed by Danielle de Metz, is included in the cross-country marathon jeep trip, through various Nazi checkpoints. 1 Since she is the mistress of an enemy general, the heroes find it necessary to drug her and rape her at frequent intervals. Since it follows tried and true war film standards so faithfully, it shouldn't be placed in the same category as The Statue. It merely represents a genre; The Statue is an original. a debt repaid.

objects that no one alive today can make in quite the same way. Among the artifacts are seven Maori heads, the elaborately tattooed skin dried taut against the bone. Three of them are from slain enemies. Dr. Mead said the heads represent one of the finest of such In another section are examples of the equipment of a Gilbert Island warrior all of it fashioned from the resources of a tropic island weapons edged with sharks' teeth and full-body suits of armor made of tightly woven and knotted coconut fiber.

There are four scale model ilioramas depicting village scenes. These include a Samoan settlement on the beach, the temple dancers of Bali, the burial rites of Australia's Warramunga aborigines and a lagoon village on stilts of the Manus people of the Admiralty Islands. The Manus diorama was made in 1929 by Dr. Mead and a museum worker. It was one of the first attempts at that form of presenting anthropological information.

There are hundreds of artifacts from drums and flutes to chisels and axes to special forks for eating human flesh. While much of the exhibit is dedicated to preserving the vanishing works of the past, the influence of the present is not ignored or deprecated. There is, for example, a photo of a topless young woman in a grass skirt with a transistor radio pressed to her ear. As the last primitive cultures to be reached by Western society, the Pacific peoples have had to make the greatest leap from the old ways to the new. Dr.

Mead said her revisits to the places she studied decades ago show that the people are making the transition as well as any other. But the customs and crafts of the old days are vanishing. The Hall of the Peoples of the Pacific will prevent them from disappearing entirely. By PAUL RAUGUST Russian grandmaster Mark Taimanov did his homework well Tuesday night. Teetering on the brink of defeat in the second game of his world chess championship quarter-final match with American Bobby Fischer, Taimanov evened the score Wednesday afternoon, forcing a second adjournment in the game on the 72nd move.

More than hours have been spent on the game during the two days. Taimanov had been down a pawn and the strength of a bishop over a knight, but he quickly evened the count when Fischer chose to leave a pawn unprotected in favor of utilizing his king in a king-side counter-attack. Fischer's attack never materialized into anything of major consequence. Fischer leads the match by one victory, but with Taimanov getting back the advantages of white in today's game, the Russian could tie it up with a win today and with what looks like a certain draw when play resumes in the second game Friday. The 28-year-old Fischer stormed out of the University of B.C.

Student Union Building auditorium at adjournment. During the course of play he had an angry exchange with chief arbiter Boz-idar Kazic of Yugoslavia about Taima-nov's habit of taking a walk after each move. Fischer said this distracted him from his game. Kazic, however, declined to take any action and the Russian continued his walking habits. Richard Nixon 6an abomination9 film-maker says Reuter CANNES American movie-maker Dalton Trumbo, after showing his strongly anti-war entry at the Cannes Film Festival, delivered a stinging personal attack on President Nixon.

Trumbo, whose movie Johnny Got His Gun was well-received here, said at a news conference afterward: "I think, concerning the Vietnam war, that President Nixon is an abomination and a disaster. Trumbo's film is taken from his novel of the same name and concerns the plight of a young soldier horribly wounded in the First World War. mmmmMmmmmmmmmmmmm n'l spread out and the flower I opens.

The generous planet seems to have everything except simple answers to our questions. It puts forth thousands of different flowers. Surely we can expect a simple answer to how and why these blossoms open and close their petals. Not so.

The secret operations go on inside living cells. It takes about 4,000 of them to measure an inch. But we can imagine part of this operation if we think of 4,000 balloons. When the balloons are empty, we can pack them in a trunk. But puffed up with air, they can fill a big room.

If the room were big balloon, it would collapse around the empty little balloons and expand to its full size when they filled with air. This is somewhat like the operation that takes place when flower petals open and close When their tiny cells lose moisture, the petals sag or neatly fold and close the flower. When all the cells are full of moisture, they balloon up and make the petals stiff. The stiff petals Noon concert 38. P-B3 39.

It depends on the plumbing system that totes moisture from the roots to the topmost edges of the plant. It is related to how plants breathe without noses or lungs and how they lose water vapor through special pores in their leaves and petals. These inside operations work with the air, temperature and sun-chine outside the plant. The complete answer Is very, very complicated. Besides, it is tricky because different flowers react to sunshine and warmth in different ways.

The golden dandelion opens up wide to enjoy the warm sunshine. But its petals cannot remain firm In the cool night air. After sunset, they lose some of their moisture and the flower sags closed. In the early morning, two things happen to fill the petal cells with moisture again. There is short surge of moisture from the roots, up through the plumbing system.

Meantime, the morning sun warms the air and warm air Is thirsty. It takes water vapor from tho pores in the petals. Sut as the surface cells lose moisture, they pull more from neighboring cells. They keep supplies of water streaming up through the plant. The mnisture-fillcd petals slay stiff and hold the flower open as long as the warm sun evaporates mols tine from their pores.

As to performance de Kant, who has a smooth technique, a lovely liquid tone, oily and vibrant in the chalumcau, phrased with grace and threw off scales and arpeggios very adroitly, while pianist Rogers, always reliable, maintained an excellent balance, and was not afraid of moving Into the limelight when his partner had the subsidiary role.
