the fourth of July and is located east of Eugene, Or We have attended for several years and recently received this missive from some of the Vaudevilhans we hang out with during the Fair Speaking of the Fair We are reminded of an incident at the fair, it was the Monday after the Fair had closed to the public and the people who ran the booths and live at the fair for four or five days were packing up their vehicles and heading out We were sitting at the Blazing Salads booth with a friend, finishing our breakfast Behind us on the path/road was a VW bus loaded and coughing out exhaust fumes We decided to get up and move a few yards away Two people remained a few feet from the exhaust pipe eating their fruit and granola breakfast, as my friend and I rolled up a couple of Drum tobacco cigarettes These folks sitting in the cloud of exhaust fumes gave us a filthy look as we lit up, and one said, 'Excuse me, we are trying to eat here ' My friend and I started laughing and couldn t stop What reminded us of this incident was a logo for "Militant Non-Smokers of America' recently run in the North Coast Times Eagle We called Mr McCusker to inquire about this group and he (tho an ex-smoker himself) said no such group really existed, it was just an old logo that fit in a hole (We understand ) The reason we were concerned was of course the recent hysterical rhetoric of the Anti-Drug lobbies Now don t get us wrong, we do not recommend the use of any drug for everyone All drugs are dangerous to some degree And tobacco is one of the most powerful that grows naturally on this continent (Dosage is so im p o rtan t) But to compare the pollution in our air from tobacco use to that from automobiles and industry is to compare slingshots to atomic bombs Indoor smoking can, of course, cause unhealthy and unpleasant conditions, but so can perfumes and aftershaves Social behavior needs to be and is being modified Smokers have had to learn to be more sensitive And that is always a good thing The bad thing is the demonizing of smokers The polarization The legislation or prohibition We believe that most of the health problems blamed on tobacco smoke can most likely be traced right back to the exhaust pipe of the automobile We have a label on a pack of cigarettes that says, Z Last year at the fair not long after the Midnight show a vaudevilhan stood next in line for an outhouse when a woman from inside began spreaking to him, relating a story which since that night has been indeliably etched in his mind In 1969 she had come to the fair from Iowa in search of love and freedom On that Saturday years ago the day was hot and the outhouse lines were long In the morning she patiently waited 45 minutes to relieve herself, but then seeing a young mother pregnant with twins who was babysitting a friend s children she felt compassion and gave them her turn By mid-morning she had again reached the head of the line when she saw an elderly gentleman with his grandfather who was too proud Her heart went out to them and she once again relinquished her place in line This happened 23 more times that day until finally well into the night she was amazed to find an empty outhouse she had never seen before Without hesitation she opened the door and entered Lighting a match, she was astonished to find it immaculate' With a great sense of relief she sat down at last Following her grand achievement she reached for the paper there was none At that precise moment a ray of light shot up from between illuminating the entire chamber in an eerie pulsating glow She heard a choir of beautiful sounds echoing as if in a magnificent temple A voice came to her and in gentle tones It said, 'Before thou wlpeth, read what is w r it" With trembling hands she reached out to the roll that only an instant ago had not been there She beheld a single ply soft as a rose petal with the scent of some indescribable ambrosia upon whose surface was inscribed shimmering letters from a strange language she somehow understood There in the mystical light these writings revealed to her the secret of true happiness At this epiphinal moment she felt a great weight had been taken, almost as if she had wings Out of habit in a single swift move she tore the sacred sheet and cleansed herself When she released the paper the glow disappeared Realising what had been done with the secret of happiness she was mortified' In the darkness the voice came again, 'Feel not mortified I am the angel Camote and because of your 25 acts of kindness every 25 years I will return to this temple to reveal the secret of happiness Prepare Tour angel Camote shall return ’ The vaudevilhan stood waiting for the punchline After what seemed like an enterm ty none came, so he opened the door THE OUTHOUSE WAS EMPTY' Coni on m LUI LD&t TilLY IW odiac » 4
