Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 3, 1973, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press wednesday october 3, 1973 Auden put True Art into poetry by John Wain London special owns the death of w. Ii. Guclen would have been a loss whenever it of it is particularly sad that it should f so Early in his mid sixties and at the be ginning of what would have been a new period in his Lite. He had Only recently moved to Oxford where had Many mends and old associations but the next few years promised to be Good ones for him. Nor is there any reason to believe that his imaginative Powers were drying up he had always written and published copiously letting his readers take the rough with the smooth. Since he published his first Book of poetry in 1928, Audens work was the subject of continuous comment and discussion. It arrested attention it was so Evi Dently the work of a Man who was above trivialities who addressed himself to urgent problems celebrated fundamental things and whose creative machinery was set in motion not by personal vanity the itch ing need that people should pay attention to him but by Goodwill towards the world. The moment of a writers death is never the Best time for a studied assess ment work. That will come o yer the next 10 or 20 years though a Fin Al verdict on Auden will never be possible any More than it is possible for any f an artist s work photos i s 8 minute service i Paul Charach studios i concourse t Lombard place just a Short elevator ride from the purport office Richardson bldg. 957-1278 top Quality name Brand furniture at discount prices so Low Onri Imd Lou furniture Mart 68mlinst.

St. Mary s Iid has the vitality to survive each new generation will take from it what it needs and will be grateful and appreciative accordingly. That Auden s work will survive is virtually certain the voice Auden Speaks to us from his first poems with Force and freshness and civilization is unlikely to change More to tally in the next 30 years than it has in the last 30. Drought frees slaves d 0 r of upper Volta Reuter tribes in West Central Africa that have been virtual slaves for countless generations Are breaking away from their masters As drought shatters the traditional mosaic of african society. No one can recall when the conflict took place which led to the enslavement of the pure negroid Bela tribesmen by the nomadic tuareg. Under the French colonial administration and even More recently among officials of Africa s newly Independent nations tribes like the Belas were referred to with Embar r a s s m e n t As captives or More cautiously As tent ser vants. Even today in International bodies the subject remains practically taboo and is Only occasionally referred to in re ports prepared by obscure subcommittees. But in this Dusty provincial capital isolated in the North c r n Corner of landlocked upper Volta the self granted anal newly gained Independence of the primitive Belas is As As their destitute condition. The Belas like Many of their tuareg masters have streamed from neighbouring Mali by the thousands for months As Africa s worst drought in decades seared through a giant area immediately South of the Sahara. S. The lands they had Farmed for the tuareg turned to dust and the carcasses of their masters livestock littered the landscape. Both Bela and tuareg found themselves faced with disaster and de Spair. S u i a i d e s were reported among the proud an unimaginable occurrence in such a fiercely devout mos Lem people. With their masters unable to feed them the Belas began to break away. Said Kara Ollet Deborba car the area governor Here in the Belas arrived they began to group to g e t h e a away from the tuareg Camp. The last link had been broken. Naturally the tuareg were unhappy about the situation. But there is nothing they can do about it. The Belas Here Are free and. We will see that it remains the Bela Camp is barely a few Steps ahead of the Stone age huddled under Low make shift tents families of 10 and 15 live on near subsistence rations provided by International drought Relief opera t i o n s and distributed by upper Volta authorities. What we can distribute not Only to the Belas who Are the worst off but to the entire population is just barely suf de Boubacar explains. One of the main problems is determining How Many people Are in the area at any one time As populations Many with Only vague notions of Borders and nationalities shift from one Region to an other. While Liq Dori Region is believed to number inhabitants estimates of the newly arrived refugees including thousands of Balas Range up to at least an additional the sole doctor for the entire area is a 26-year-old Frenchman a cled by several Volta army orderlies. There Are reports that the situation is even More precarious further North. Sister Annonciata an Afri can nun who has worked near the Mali Border reported that near starvation still prevails. I have seen nomads from the Gobele tribe eat Cotton seed which was parachuted for the she said. And Many people Are Down to eating his Early work then has already passed the lest of survival and the rest should follow through that Needle s Eye. But we can at this moment of loss and regret try to convey some sense of what his presence Felt like what in our midst he Stook for. He was a tension of opposites a very private Man who knew How to play a Public role a highly idiosyncratic writer who never became merely Odd an a comprising individualist who enjoyed collaboration a performer who walked out into the Clear limelight without shedding his private complexities and without needing to put on greasepaint. One of Auden s most admirable qualities was his refusal to be bounded by literature. While he loved books loved Reading and writing them he always knew that books Are about something and the some thing they Are about is life. He was not one of those literary men whose conversation is relentlessly liter Ary. He was or a. P e a r e d to be which amounts to the same thing entirely above the sweaty Arena or name calling and reputation Mon Gering that forms the Hori Zon of the literary on hand while he was less literary than the average minor poet or critic he was in a serious sense More literary than most of them More protes Community of West Kildonan Public notice the West Kildonan Community committee invites the residents of the Community to attend the regular monthly meeting at i the Community offices 1760 main Street on tuesday october 9th, 1973 at .

His respect for Craft and skill would have been remarkable in any epoch and was particularly so in our age of self indulgent ersatz. In an essay called the poet and the City Auden set Down most of his leading ideas about his profession and we find there his celebrated prescription for the education of a Peot in All educational facilities Are limited to those activities and habits of behaviour which a particular society considers important.
