"::r ■ ■ n-r-m-ia-n.' VOL. 7 NO. 3 U.B.C. LIBRARY STAFF NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 1970 UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ■TIs the season to be jolly Fa La La La La, La La La La Lots of Booze & Sin & Folly Fa La La La La, La La La La Christmas is coming and everyone is thinking of at least one of the ideas in this little poem. However, one usually must start with the first suggestion before proceeding to either of the other two. So to help you achieve whatever ends you desire, here are some good suggestions from Frederick Davies and his book DRINKS OF ALL KINDS, FOR ALL SEASONS, 1895! I hope that they will help to warm many a heart during the coming season. MULLED PORT (or other Wine) 'First, my dear madam, you must take Nine eggs, which carefully you'll break; Into a bowl you'll drop the white, The yolks into another by it. Let Betsy beat the whites with a switch till they appear quite frothed and rich; Another hand the yolks must beat With sugar, which will make them sweet- Three or four spoonfuls maybe'11 do, Though some, perhaps, would take but two. Into a skillet next you'll pour A bottle of good wine or more; Put half a pint of water, too, Or it may prove too strong for you. And while the eggs (by two) are beating, The wine and water may be heating; But when it comes to boiling heat, The yokes and whites together beat With half a pint of water more, Mixing them well, then gently pour Into the skillet with the wine, And stir it briskly all the time; Then pour it off into a pitcher, Grate nutmeg in to make it richer; Then drink it hot, for he's a fool Who lets such precious liquor cool! i ; ; i For those who do not aspire to the temptations in the first verse may I suggest they try the following Temperance Drink as recommended by Mr. Davies. DRINK FOR DOG DAYS Pour a bottle of soda-water on a lemon ice in a large glass or tankard. This is a beautifully refreshing drink, but it should be taken wi th caution. * Finally I would suggest the following mixture which is classed as a RESTORATIVE DRINK for Lowness of Spirits, Excess of Spirits and Fainting. (This might be called a remedy for the remedies) To five ounces of peppermint water add two ounces of orange syrup, half an ounce of carbonate of ammonia, and one ounce and a half of compound tincture of Cardamoms; shake well. A tablespoonfj1 may be taken occasionally. I hope that you all have a very good Christmas and that yoj get what you deserve! Davey Miller The Woodward Library sent us a copy of their letter to Santa: WOODWARD LIBRARY. Geographical North Pole. (Where all meridians converge) Dear Santa, December 1970 Thank you for the storage space you brought Woodward last year, Main Library really appreciates it. Thank you for our big new desks that arrived yesterday. Since we have been good all year please send us our very own SCM repair man (we have references to prove how deserving we are). Please send one replacement elevator or we could make do with an emergency kit of inflatable chair, fold down bar and small browsing library to install in the lemon you brought us last year. Laurie would like her windows washed, she doesn't like the dirty ones left this summer. Please send her a pail and some Bon Ami if washers aren't available. Circulation wants you to provide a library course to all students so they can reshelve their own books. They would also like to have piped in music for the lonely outpost on the north-east front entrance turnsti le. The only other necessities you forgot last year were the staff lounge's colour T.V. and the automatic food dispensers. We know you are getting old but surely this reminder will produce results in 1970. And of course everyone wants a promotion! Remember that reference question where we found the addresses for all Zoos with reindeer? I'm sure you do! Thanking you in advance for your attention to our requests .and a Merry Christmas. Love The Woodwardians. P.S. Please don't put coal in our stockings. In this modern world oil drums would be better received... ' CHRISTMAS DOWN UNDER I had heard tales that Christmas in Australia was spent sunbathing on the beaches. As Christmas approached I bought a new bathing suit, sun-hat, and most important a thermos to keep the beer cold. And since swimming at Manly is a lot more complicated than swimming at White Rock, I even went to the trouble of finding out where to swim if there were rip tides and what to do if sharks were about. I was all prepared for a sunburnt holiday season. Christmas Day arrived - freezing cold. The closest thing to heat that day was the fire on top of the telephone pole that was started by a flash of 1ighteni ng. The holiday season was shared with friends in a place called Cabramatta. We spent the day huddled around a little gas heater while quantities of liquor and sweets were consumed. People would drop in and greet us with a friendly, "How you going mate, alright?" The Australian hospitality was warm and their humour slapstick. And while there wasn't snow outside and the tree wasn't a six-foot fir, the spirit of Christmas was the same.

Well over half of these ion, Woodward receives about onth and sends out about 200 h. Perhaps this will explain nd frantic and breathless almost — . /; BOOKS AND BITTERS IN LONDON In the galaxy of riches which confront the visitor to London, book shops and public houses number many and shine brightly. For most bibliophiles, this is a happy situation, for browsing can be a desiccating business. A good place to start your bookhunting peregrinations is in Hatchard's (south side of P i cad illy, about halfway between the Circus and the Ritz). They have "all the best books" and poking about in their carpeted confines can only be described as delightful. Here you can pick up a glossy coffee table book on the Renaissance, the latest best-selling biography of Wellington, or just a small colored picture guide to Dorset; all at about half the price you would eventually pay in B.C. Having consigned next week's pay cheque to this august house you will be ready for a half-pint and a "banger". Nip south of P i cad illy to Duke of York St. (running off Jermyn St. into St. James Square). In this street is the illustrious Red Lion, a small pub with a Victorian decor. Pork pies and sausages are particularly good here, and I urge you to partake of them. Following refreshment, slip down into St. James Square and past the London Library (private members only). Turn east out of the Square, walk directly at the Haymarket Theatre, continuing east where you will then come to one of the few remaining areas of London where book sellers are concentrated (Charing Cross Road). On this street and very close together are, among others, Foyles (the biggest in London), E. Joseph (a good second hand dealer), Ascroft and Dew (paperback specialists), and Zwemmer's (one of the finest houses for art and architecture titles). Time and money can be freely_but pleasurably squandered along this row. Another brew is in order? No better place can be sought than the Salisbury, at the corner of St. Martin's Lane and St. Martin's Court. A decorative Victorian pub, with very ornate cut-glass windows, brass fixtures, and gilt-edged mirrors, this "local" for many actors serves tasty, inexpensive food with their mild or best bitters. After your bit of sustenence, you are ready for the treasures of St. Martin's and Cecil Courts, paralleling each other between Charing Cross Road and St. Martin's Lane. Good antiquarian ft second hand dealers abound in these two short lanes, the most notable of which are E. Seligman (art books), Watkins (religious), Suckling's (general), Harold Mortlake (Victorian), and Pleasures of Past Times (a not-to-be-missed shop specializing in theatrical books, prints, photos, etc. and Victoriana). Some stay open well past the customary 5.30 closing, so browsing can be prolonged until curtain time at the Duke of York, New, Wyndham's, or Garrick Theatres, all of which are within one-half block of these book shops. A noisy little pub to end the day is the Nell of Old Drury (on Catherine St. across from the famous Drury Lane Theatre); but don't expect to find a seat. The British Museum is a magnet for tourists and no visiting book lover should miss investigating the concent rat ion of both new and second hand dealers when in this area of Bloomsbury. A must is Stanley Crowe (Bloomsbury St., but the entrance is around the corner of Streatham St.), who has just about any book, print, or pamphlet on British local history. When in his "catacombs" you are surrounded by shelves crammed from top to bottom with dusty treasures. A cup of tea may be offered you but unless you like your "cuppa" very black, better pretend to be a coffee drinker, the strongest tea in London. Stanley Crowe has Also in this immediate area are Louis W. Bondy (Little Russel1 St.) and B. Weinreb (Great Russell St.). The former is an antiquarian shop, the latter has one of the world's greatest stocks of architectural books. A nearby place to rest the weary legs and sip a fine pint of Double Diamond or Guiness is the Museum Tavery on Great Russell St. (directly across from the British Museum). Here you will see (especially at lunchtime), a goodly array of scholars, "feeding the inner man" in preparation for an afternoon assault on the "keeper" and his precious hoard of books and manuscripts. Within easy walking distance of this tavern is also Dillon's Bookstore (in the heart of the University complex). For the "true-crime" buff (l confess to being one), Wildy and Sons (Lincoln's Inn Archway behind the Law Courts) is Mecca. Second hand editions of the notable British Trial series adorn the shelves and great restraint must be exercised to resist the lure of the Seddons, Crippens, Bartletts, Palmers, Creams, Maybricks, and Smiths n (Joseph and Madeline) in their scarlet bindings. All are principals in famous trials and have, as George Orwell has said, "withstood the test of time". Most have their likenesses enshrined in wax at Madame Tussaud's on the Marylebone Road. From Wildy's (another week's cheque gone), a sense of Tightness dictates that thirst must be quenched at the Sherlock Holmes on Northumberland Ave. "Photos" and "memorabilia" of the great detective festoon the walls, including a "cast" of the pawprint of the Hound of the Baskervi1les. Emerging into a misty street (london, alas, no longer has a "particular"), hard by Charing Cross Station, one sees Moriarity's likeness in the passers-by and feels that the "game is again afoot". Equally acceptable after Wildy's is a visit to the Magpieand Stump, across the street from the Central Criminal Court; it at one time sold space in the upstairs window for a view of the public hangings carried out in the Old Bailey. Now, however, its frequenters are mostly lawyers and reporters associated with the trials at the Court. *" * ;' . -to Edward Stanford on the Long Acre is London's bes*^ map house. A visit here (they also have travef guides as well as multi-scales or ordinance maps) is a pleasurable experience and brings you near another historical public house. Just behind Stanford's on Rose St. is the celebrated Lamb and Flag Tavern. Dickens and Dryden both frequently drank here and Dryden, after leaving the Lamb one evening, was a victim of a seventeenth century version of mugging. The Lamb and Flag is a tiny place but decidedly worth a visit. Sad it is for the book hunter to contemplate the demolished Paternoster Row and Holywell St., and one mourns the lost opportunity of "having had a go" at these treasures. Sadder still, however, is the knowledge that five million books were lost in the bomb destruction of Paternoster Row during World War II. Close to the site of Holywell St. is the Devereaux Tavern (eastern confines of the Temple) and this haunt of G.K. Chesterton is an appropriate place to raise a gladd in silent salute to the booksellers of yore. These are only a few of the thousands of bookshops and taverns in London - a few that I have visited. You, who go to London in the near future will see and enjoy these and many more during your stay. I hope to see many more - next time!

We also visited the church of Seo one of the many mosques built by the Moors and converted to a Christian church with the coming of the Catholic Kings. After dinner we sat in the square beside the beautiful fountain "talking" to the people and watching the strollers go by (brandy is as easy on the budget as rum). At 11:30 p.m. we were still there - warm in our short sleeved dresses and the streets were still crowded. Next day, Zaragoza to Madrid past towns and villages that have changed very little since Moorish times. It was very hot and Mr. B. from Ontario, already being fingered as the "complainer" was being shooshed by his obviously long suffering wife. It was at this point that Juan told us a little of his background. Born in Barcelona of working class family, school, two years compulsory service in the army, which, though a very hard life, gave him a feeling of comradship and confidence, with pay ridiculously low about 10 dollars a month. University of Barcelona and then to England to finish an education working as a waiter, where he graduated with a history major. Married to an English girl Juan finds great satisfaction teaching seven months of the year in England and travelling four months of the year with Global. We were most lucky to have him as our tour guide because everywhere we went he filled us in on the background history and interesting local gossip. The long periods of driving were never dull and the local custom of Siesta after lunch is to be highly recommended although poor old Icidro always had to stay awake. This day we stopped at a small family run Inn for lunch, you have to watch those washroom arrangements - "Cabal 1eros and Senoras" - they can be quite interesting. At this particular inn everyone went through the same door'. There was a most fascinating display of dolls and woven goods in the entrance hall and the pile in the bus started to grow. Louise from Seattle acquired a rug which was to become the bane of her existence, (nothing could be left in the bus overnight). Nowhere in Spain could she find a post office to handle the mailing of same. "You come back manana" which of course never came, Mara had the same problem. Upon our 22 return to England she and her young son walked off the plane looking like padded pedlars. Next stop Madrid, the capital of Spain, seat of Government since 1560, and certainly not enough time to visit all its wonders. History and beauty crowd around. The visit to the Escorial, burial place of the Spanish Kings, was one of the highlights of the tour. The Escorial overlooking the beautiful valley of the Juamara is a magnificent building, palace and monastery combined. It was built in the 15 hundreds and has 30 miles of corridors and houses priceless treasures of tapestries, paintings, sculptors, glasswares, books etc. The high altar is an opulence of gold and exquisite paintings and a 55 metre (220 ft.) hall contains a single complete wall covering fresco depicting a battle scene. The Library holds a magnificent collection including hand printed and illustrated volumes from the fourth century, Arabic manuscripts, the diary of St. Teresa with the history of the Carmelite nuns and many writings of the early explorers. Paintings by Goya, El Greco, Titian they and many others are all there and it is awesome to stand in the council chamber and see the very simple, worn leather chair from which Phillip 11 ruled most of the known world of the 16th century. We went down into the sumptuous domed vault where lie the past Kings of Spain and the Queen Mothers in richly ornate caskets, tier on tier. The remains of the last king of Spain is waiting elsewhere to join his ancestors in the burial chamber as only a ruling monarch can authorise the placement of the body within the sanctuary. Franco has invited the old King to return to Spain but he steadfastly refuses. However, his son, Juan Carlos, is apparently not of the same mind and one gets the impression that when the old king dies so will the monarchy return. One also gets the feeling that Franco has mellowed in his old age rather like good wine. All religions are now able to practice freely and many of the Jewish synagogues have been returned to the Jewish people completing a cycle. The "green olives" so called because of their green uniform and heart of stone keep the country surprisingly free of crime. Violence is practically unheard of and is rather a nice feeling to know that you can walk anywhere, any time with little fear for ones safety. The general honesty of the people is like a breath of clean air. Many times we were called back because we did not wait for change once being literally 1 ,. 1.-11 M.I...I ■ ■T ' ' '■ I , . -.i — 23 chased down the street. We understood the "green olives" are almost inhuman in their detached approach to the wrong doer or the traffic violater. Results, very little crime and a traffic picture that looks chaotic but works. Fourth day, Toledo, the ancient capital of the Peninsula with a history stretching back to Phoenician times. Romans, Visigoths, Arabs and Jews have all left their imprint on this fascinating city, a natural fortress, bounded on three sides by the River Tagus. As you look down on the city from the opposite bank of the river and see the grey white buildings, rising towards the great square Alcazar, standing starkly outlined against the hot, bare rock you are reminded again of the timeless history of this land. Down in the town the heat bounces at you from the thick walls and the narrow streets mock the small cars that try to navigate their sharp corners and unpredictable steps. The street vendors offer ceramics and leathergoods whilst the small donkey, on which their wares hang, stand patiently waiting with almost an air of detached, sardonic amusement. The city is a museum and a National monument to a past splendour. No new buildings can be erected in Toledo and the population has remained static for the past hundred years. No family moves in until others move out. The churches and the palaces and the great fortress are all there but so is El Greco's house which offers a glimpse of the great painter as a man, not the mystic. In the Jewish quarter are the craftsmen still fashioning the famous Toledo steel, not into weapons, but into exquisite jewellery and tableware. The women, the old ones, heat defying in their all black clothing, still go to the wells for water and the cameras clicked. Back in the bus, Icidro rested after his morning off and an afternoon siesta. He has seen this scene many times before, and so on the road, heading towards the border and the next stop PORTUGAL '*%: ^ 4^ HEAR YE - HEAR YE IBRARY CHRISTMAS EVENTS.
