Funny how much better the stuff seems to taste now that you can save a few cents a bottle on it over Canadian beer.” WEDNESDAY: Ward said he had to agree with the retiring navy admiral down in Halifax that we’re putting too much faith in this perestroika stuff and leaving our­ selves wide open to the Russians. All the time the Russians are talking peace they’re building three new warships a admiral said. “Yeh,” said Tim, seem to be losing submarine a month so the net gain isn’t too big.” Maybe that’s why our government cancelled our subs, he said, because we couldn’t possibly sink as many Russian subs as the Russians already are. FRIDAY: Tim was saying he had to get over to the town office and get a building permit for some changes he’s making in his office. “Well you better get to it,” Ward said, “because the next council meet­ ing’s Tuesday and you’ll miss it for a whole month. And remember the office will be closed Monday for the holiday.” And what holiday would that be said Mabel who just happened to be passing the table at the time. Civic holiday of course, Ward said. Well, said Mabel, she thought in the drive for greater efficiency they must be going to keep the town office open. After all, how could it be a civic holiday if the local council never even got around to declaring it. Hadn’t got around to it, in fact, in the last three years. \ \ Wightman.
