THE PROVINCE, Thursday, May 20, 1971 International affairs EWTnEITWWMEWTr Canadians paying third of world body's budget Poprock personality Hair veteran sings happily HairAfter Canadian Press hi: n'i IS By BENOIT IIOlit.E 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 I.eger, 13, secretary-general of the Paris-based organization, regards the conference as a milestone marking tiie emergence of the new agency from its "experimental phase." Delegates from ho 22 member conn tries 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-oporaUoii was born at a conference of French-speaking countries in Niger in March, 1070. Al 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 had 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, some thing 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 gut him nut of a Yonge Street club where he had to compete with lopless clamors for al lention.

TORONTO One sacrifice Wayne St. John wasn't willing to make after the Toronto production of the rock musical Hair closed was to let a barber shear the massive puff of black curls from his head. 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, HairAfter was.

at least in pari, a product of St. John's unwillingness to give up his coif-hire. 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. "When Hair was in its last couple of weeks," St.

John said, "1 was trying to think of something to keep my career going. "One thing 1 was really concerned about was my hair. 1 mean, if I'd had to go back to my old job as a pressman in I NS1IOUN SINGING STAR Wayne St. John, Mary Ann McDonald (left) and Linda Squires (right), tip front with the Afro-style.

33 and 12 per cent respectively. Other members, many of them, newly independent African countries are: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, South Tunisia and Upper Volta. The first year's budget was set at a-modest increasing to about million this year. Canada's share last year and will be about $700,000 for 1071. Leger, secretary-general of the agency since it was founded, has worked lor both l.e Devoir and l.a Pressc 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 he awarded annually to the best film-maker from a member country. II was presented for the first time last year to Bahacar Sanib of Senegal. Another is an international exhibition nf handicrafts put together last Decern her with the aim of finding new markets for the handicrafts of member countries. The exhibition of about (500 items is going lo Canada this summer alter louring Ihe main cities of France and will be shown in Fredericton, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg: A third project is Operation Jeunesse, an exchange program for young people starling this summer.

Its goal is lo en able 100 French-speaking Africans lo trade places for a month with 100 young people from France, Belgium or Canada I.eger said the exchange will be more than a tourist trip. II, would be "a real voyage of information and discovery" for young people of 18 lo 25. Preference would be given lo young workers usually overlooked in such exchanges and to technical students. One of the first undertakings of the fledgling agency was the planning of an inlernalional school at a France, lo provide (raining in modern management techniques. The school is to open its doors next January to its first enrolment of about 10 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 Hiking an inventory of needs and circulating material among member countries. Similar seminars have been held in oilier countries on topics such as lour ism and handicrafts, the civil- service and educational television, and this fall the agency plans lo start publishing a half-yearly bulletin on tourist informn lion 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 Ihe pattern of the Olympic (lames.

I.eger said the fall conference in Canada, first such gathering since the agency was founded, "is important because 11 will enable the agency lo emerge from its experimental phase and enter its operational phase." I have a friend who collects bad memories. In the late fifties, he remembers some of the old payola-inspired songs from the hit parade. He is a devotee of strip shows and roller derbies, and even saves election posters of the winning candidates. Mostly, though, he goes to movies. In the past couple of years he has been forced to limit his collection to one movie a week because cf budget restrictions.

He's seen Doc NfB jr New York Times NEW YORK The sounds of warm Pacific waves rolling up a Samoan beach echoed through the newest exhibit hall at New York's American Museum of Natural History Tuesday. 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 primitive human cultures to be discovered by Western man. 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 arc rapidly vanishing. Almost awash in the sights and sounds stood Margaret Mead who, off and on over the last half century, has lived among the people whose tools and trap pings 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 ethnology at the museum, conceived the hall when she began her Pacific studies 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 1H3 glass cases not the cumbersome wooden tombs that were used in the past but large show windows protecting rii V- i DK. AUG A HEX MEAD a deli! repaid.

I have a couple of new ones to recommend. I think you're crazy but I think you'll like them. First, a David Niven-Virna I.isi comedy titled The Statue, now at the Capitol, Richmond Square and Loughecd Drive-in.

It's about a famous Nobel Prize winner whose wife, a sculptor, creates a 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, liar, har of Hie statue is not that of husband David Niven, 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. The second choice for your collection, M.Q., is Raid on Rommel, starring Richard 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 Rom mel and Rommel zap Burton right back again. Most of the movie was filmed last year, but those with good memories of tiie ItHiti 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 us an-olher to you. maybe you'll experience rrm i-ii in another fashion. Burton looks the delicate and often irreplaceable objects that no one alive today can make in quite the same way Among the artifacts are seven Maori beads, the elaborately tattooed skin dried taut against the bone. Three of them arc from slain enemies. Dr.

Mead said the heads represent one of the finest of such collections. In another section are examples of the equipment of a Gilbert Island warrior -all of it fashioned from lite resources of DAVID NIVEN looking for the mysterious har, har, har missing mate. his age hut his curly locks are as blond as those of the lair-haired German troops. Also, there are those long treks through the desert and a bilingual German-Knglish 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 Mel, is included in the cross country marathon jeep trip, through various Nazi checkpoints. 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 name category as The Statue. It merely represents a genre; The Statue is an original.

Fischer confident a tropic island weapons edged with sharks' teeth and fiill-hody suits of ar mor made of lightly woven and knotted coconut fiber. There are four scale model lioramas depicting village scenes. These include a Sainiiau settlement on Ihe beach, Ihe Icmple dancers of liali. the burial rites of Australia's Warramunga aborigines and a lagoon village on stills of the Manns people of the Admiralty Islands. The uniis diorama was made in lira by Dr.

Mead and a museum worker. II was one of Ihe first attempts at that lot-in nl presenting anllirnpological information. There are hundreds of artifacts from drums and flutes to chisels and axes lo special forks for eating human llcsb. While much of the cxhihjl is dedicated lo preserving the vanishing works of the past, the influence of Ihe present is not ignored or deprecated. There is, fur ex ample, a photo ol a lopless young woman in a grass skill with a transistor radio pressed lo lu-r ear As Ihe last primitive cultures lo be leached by Western society, the Pacific peoples have had lo make Ihe greatest leap from the old ways lo the new.

Dr. Mead said her revisits lo the places she studied decades ago show that Ihe people are making the transi lion as well as any other. Hut the customs and crafts of Ihe old days are vanishing. The Hall of Hie Peoples of the I'acilic will prevent them I tn in disappearing entirely.
