Do you live in Newmarket?
By MURRAY MALKIN
TORONTO —
Paul Kligman has never claimed that his father was a unique main. Biit, he does describe him as one of that "certain breed 'of cat who existed in Canada, inthe 1930s and 1940s.
"Those people deserve their place in the Canadian scene," Kligman said.
Kligman's father Is the key figure in his play "It All Ends Up lh;a Shopping Bag.'^ It's the story of Kligman's relationship with his father. It's a stoiy about Kligman's father. And it's a stoty about Kligman's father's grocery store in a French-Canadian area of Wfami-peg.
In the play, Kligman, a well known Canadian actor, plays himself and his father. "It starts when I was eight and cpntinues through my formative years. It's .roughly a period of 12 years in my life."
Beside being a grocer, Kligman's father was also a pedlar and a milicman.
PaullGlgnian
the play, a world premiere, will be at the Leah Posluns theatre from May 9 to 30 as part of the toronto Theatre Festival.
Kirgman told The CJN that he wrote the play originally for CBC radio and it j'ater became an autobiographical novel. In fact, it has just been published in paperback and will be available at the theatre.
Kligman said he "doesn't know what the play will do to me . I really don't, k's. about a time when the people were rugged. They were individualists ... interest-
ing individualists who lived by interesting credos. My dad was one of : them. : ;'The era.of the comer grocer precedes the supermarket. Beckers and Mac's Milk just aren't the same. My dad's customers were his. children. They were his friends."
Even though the idea of owning a comer jgrocer is a semi-roniantic idea for some,. Klfgman said he . figured his father hated the store, despite the fact it gave him a living and he wasfairiy successftil.
His father came to Canada from Russia, where he had trained as a cantor. The family was involved in teaching, but before he ' came to Canada, his father had worked in the clothing business.
He was self-taiight in English and could speak Russian, Ulcrainian, English, Hebrew, Yiddish and German^
Kligman said one of the interesting things, about hh father, which comes out In the play, was his way of solving problems in
unique ways. "His logic, his methodology, wouldn't be thought of by manypeople,"
Although the play centres around Kligman's father, Kligmain "tbld The CJN he didn't like his father when he was a kid.
"But as an adult I,appreciated him and lovedTiim. i realized he lived a diffi-culMife. He had a terrible temper, but most of his flareups wouldn't last more than 10 or 15 seconds. When he had a flareup, it was best hot to
; be around him."
kligman said Shopping Bag deals with a slice of life thatis important, It's a slice of life he feels members of the younger, generation know nothing about unless they read about it, ^ , .

'BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY-LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE"
By ANDREA PARKER NEWMARKET —
Neil Nathan, who moved to a home hear Newmarket last August with his wife and three sons, is trying to find out if there are more Jewish families in the area.
Nathan is a computer consultant and commutes to his clients' homes in the north end of Toronto, which is approximately 30 miles from his home in Mount Albert, near Newmarket.
He says he moved to Mount Albert "because the location is more peaceful, has a slower pace of life, and the price of land and houses are lower than in Toronto."
Nathan's home is situated on three acres of land, on which he said he hopes to grow vegetables. By coincidence, the family, which bought the adjoining three acres and a house is also Jewish, so. Nathan jokes that he lives in the "Jewish area."
He estimates that there are 12 Jewish families around Newmiarket and he hopes more will move In. . .
"Any Jewish families thinking of moving out and -
know there.are families here, might think more positively about it," said Nathan.
Recently, he put an ad in the local Newmarket paper to see if anyone was interested in Hebrew education for the children. Although those who responded had children who were too old or too young, Nathan did find more families in the area.
He said he is teaching his own children who are 6. 8, and 10 years. He has acquired various books, and paraphrases the weekly Sedrah from Hebrew into English. His oldest son is also doing some translation.
A friend of Nathan's who raises stallions in nearby Aurora received tapes from a Toronto synagogue and trained his son forharmitzvah.
And during Chanulcah, Nathan said his two oldest sons went to the classes in Grade 4 and below in their school to explain the story behind the holiday. Recently, his youngest son passed out pieces of matzo to his el a ss m a t e s i n kindergarten.
Although there is no
synagogue in Newmarket, the Nathans have attended services at the Richvale Coinmunity Centre in Richmond Hill.
Nathan believes more people will move to Newmarket, if Highway 404 is extended by 1983, as proposed-
