WENZEL
and
ELEANOR
at
the
Canton
THE
TUESDAY
COLUMN
By
JAN
UDO
WENZEL
Songstress
Eleanor
Collins
arrived
here
last
night
and
had
one
comment
The
transportation
to
Prince
George
by
air
leaves
a
lot
to
be
desired
Good
we
have
said
that
a
long
time
ago
but
it
seems
it
is
still
the
same
Namely
inadequate
She
had
good
reason
to
complain
because
her
plane
from
Vancouver
was
late
as
usual
when
we
have
a
little
bit
of
fog
Miss
Collins
without
rehearsal
went
into
her
act
at
the
Canton
Inn
and
if
it
was
nothing
else
it
was
a
highly
professional
pleasing
performance
The
Keith
Kent
Trio
did
a
good
job
accompanying
her
Eleanor
well
known
in
Canada
from
her
own
TV
show
and
personal
appearances
will
be
at
the
Canton
Inn
for
two
weeks
Eleanor
Worth
the
Trip
Her
routine
will
get
the
audience
She
started
out
with
the
famous
Hello
Dolly
and
at
once
had
the
attention
of
even
those
who
had
been
talking
while
Mandrake
the
Magician
did
his
tricks
The
lack
of
a
Monday
audience
did
not
deter
her
from
putting
on
a
good
if
short
show
Eleanor
is
worth
the
trip
to
Spruceland
Arent
some
of
our
laws
ridiculous
Take
the
one
that
does
not
permit
a
restaurant
or
hotel
to
advertise
that
it
has
a
licenced
premises
and
that
in
some
of
those
licenced
premises
certain
specialties
can
be
found
I
dont
know
exactly
what
the
law
says
but
from
what
I
gather
from
hotelmen
it
is
simply
a
law
that
forbids
all
mentioning
of
places
where
you
can
have
a
beer
Silly
Line
for
Government
But
isnt
it
about
time
that
the
name
beer
parlor
disappeared
That
one
clearly
shows
the
ignorance
its
a
beer
parlor
where
you
dont
do
anything
else
but
drink
beer
How
boring
The
word
tavern
or
pub
is
far
more
appropriate
because
in
the
countries
where
these
expressions
are
used
they
indicate
that
other
things
can
be
done
besides
drinking
beer
Alright
so
we
have
shuffleboard
and
a
juke
box
But
if
anything
else
is
added
it
has
to
be
spread
by
word
of
mouth
Take
the
Inn
Theres
now
a
daily
buffet
luncheon
set
up
from
noon
to
one
thirty
Why
should
a
business
not
be
able
to
advertise
what
it
is
doing
The
beer
companies
the
distillers
all
have
their
ads
in
papers
even
though
they
must
be
careful
not
to
miss
that
silly
line
about
keeping
the
provincial
government
clean
And
the
government
as
everyone
knows
rakes
in
great
profit
from
the
booze
Sinful
to
Acknowledge
But
with
the
puritan
attitudes
we
inherited
it
is
still
disgraceful
and
even
sinful
to
acknowledge
that
some
people
like
to
have
a
beer
and
like
to
have
it
in
pleasant
surroundings
Mind
you
we
have
come
a
long
way
in
the
last
ten
years
but
it
is
not
good
enough
yet
As
long
as
the
liquor
control
board
is
run
in
arbitrary
fashion
by
a
relic
from
other
times
we
will
have
to
suffer
Still
I
cant
see
why
a
hotel
such
as
the
Inn
cant
come
out
and
tell
the
people
that
it
is
trying
to
make
it
more
pleasant
to
sit
down
and
have
a
beer
That
you
can
go
down
to
the
pub
and
have
a
decent
meal
during
