If you are short of either time or patience, turn to, the classified ads for some real entertainment. • For about 10 daysover the holidays'l had my grandson. Or rather, be had me, At his beck and call. For about 12 hours a day. He's at the very interesting stage where he's learning to talk, fast. Yon 'know, putting phrases together. repeating everything he hears, under- standing .most of wiaat you say, but not yet quite ready to carry on a coax eicsation. Two phrases, however, he has down pat. The first is: "Come on!" delivered in a peremptory tone and accompanied by a firm grasp of a chubby frat an my index, finger. This comes immediately after 1 have settled" downwith my paper and a beer and lighted a cigarette. It means he wants assistance in building a pyramid or getting his glass of "dogce - (anything from milk to orange Pace) or lettirtg the "ky -cat " in for another session of *torture. What. it really means. of course, is that he has a distinct aversion to Gland-act ,retiring from the action. The secend phrase, delivered in a. piteous tone, is • 'Eletp me" aveattipataied by a forlorn look and a tug •at any peat-ton of my anatomy available. This . means he wants me to plug in the tree lights. or hold him up so he can watch the record twirling on the turntable or reach -something 'he can't and wants to break. **** WHY DON'T. the Consersatiyes make their leadership race just that? Put the entire 18 or 36 or whatever of them on a track at the summer Olympics. send them off, and the last man to fall flat on his face becomes their leader. It would make just as 'much sense as choosing them by ballot. which is also a process of finding the guy or gal with the best wind Personally, I'd like to see . Flora MacDonald have a shot at it. The result might be worse than the massacre of Glencoe. but if 50 per gent of the voters are' women, it would give them a chance to stand up and be counted.' And I think it would terrify Pierre T. One guy I would hate to' see 'win the leadership would be' Paul Hellyer. If he won it, the Tories could kiss their hopes goodbye for another decade. Here's his record.

I was sorry to see Dase Barren lose in B.C. He has one 'of those qualities w cartaully hidden by most politierans — a sense of humor. Maybe he went tod.far too fast. but he added a lot of zest to the national political scene. And, speaking of the 'Olympics. I learn,. without horror and. sadly,. without surprise. that the Quebec gosernment has diseased some 400 million dollars froni the James Bay project to bail out the 19-6 Olympics. How does that grab you? And that's only a drop in the bueketwith the . bigger hole in the bottom. , * ** SOMETHING that rather shook nile was the widespread hatred of teachers that emerged When Toronto high school teachers went on strike. I don't think IV Word is too strong. At a time a hen doctors were noisily demanding tn.ore . teachers: were accused. irulentl\ olcntly. and viciously , of being, "unprofessional' in going on strike. The strike was perfectly legal. yet the .-teachers acre called caerathing hut child-molesters. Letters to the editor ran about 40 per cent against teachers. Columnists and edit cal writers made no attempt to be ofneatt - d utied warped figures, arrant sentimentality . personal \ intlii.tiveness and appeals to the emotions to turn the public against teachers.
