to allow close relationships to
develop with just anyone. She
chooses her intonate friends
carefully.
Her writing shows that she
will listen to the ideas and
opinions of others, and give
serious thought and . consider-
ation to any idea with merit.
She does not have a closed
mind, nor is she inclined to be
critical of others.
Mentally quick and sharp,
she is very observant of what
goes on around her. She ac-
cumulates knowledge, sifting,
sorting and analyzing 'acts,
retaining only that which is of
value to her. She has the abil-
it to handle details if she
m t, but she won't be happy
long in this type of work.
She isn't content to view life
t»roug,h a microscope, seeing
only parts of the overall
scheme of things. Figurative-
ly speaking, she wants to look
at life from the top of a moun-
tain, where the tiny flaws be-
come insignificant and over-
powered by all that is good
and beautiful. This, in fact, is
her basic philosophy of life.
When she zeroes in on
someone you can be sure she
is either hurt or angry — or
both. In a situation like this,
she isn't likely to beat around
the bush or toy with diplomat-
ic phrases. She'll tell it like it
is, and use sharp, cutting
words, to make sure the indi-
vidual gets the point.
The Total Diller, is a
nervous, high -geared, ener-
getic, kind, sympathetic, gen-
erous woman. She discovered
early in life how to pan the
gold nugget of humor out of
the soil of human experience.
This takes courage, diligence
and sensitivity — and Phyllis
Diller has them all.

PHYLLIS DILLER--the laugh says it all.
H. CORDON
GREEN
I was introduced to a man the
other day who told me with obvi-
ous pride that he too was connect-
ed with agriculture. I Soon
learned that he wasn't a farmer
however. He was with the De-
partment of Agriculture in
Ottawa and when I was so bold as
to ask him what he did there, he
told me that he was a "seed
pathologist".
Which was certainly a new one
on me. I have long been aware of
the fact that the variety of
strange jobs is infinite in our Civil
Service, and I have been increas-
ingly aware that we have all sorts
of specialists in the treatment of
animal diseases. In this incre-
dibly wonderful way of life we
have inherited in the western
world we now have such special-
ists as dog psychologists, animal
behuticians and experts lit the af-
flictions of goldfish. But this is
the first time in my life that. I
have ever heard of a doctor for
sick seeds.
And since I know nothing at all
of what a seed pathologist does to
justify his government pay check
or his worth to Canadian agricul-
ture, I think I'd better say no
more on the subject. I would
however like to suggest that an
expert skilled in the cause and
cure Of sick government might
explain why in this time when re-
duced spending seems to be the
only answer to rocketing infla-
tion, our Civil Service keeps on
creating more and more jobs and
hiring more and more officials
whose chief function inagricul-
ture seems to be tb harass and to
get an increasing number of
forms filled.
In 1960, for every 75 farmers
who actually worked the land or
got heifer dust in the cracks of his
boots, there was one bureaucrat
in Ottawa, plus those in the pro-
vincial department. In 1966 there
was one federal bureaucrat for
every 64 farmers in this country.
Today there is one bureaucrat for
every 45 farmers, and the end is
not yet. And the bureaucracy it-
self releases such figures without
any apology or , trace of a blush,
even though it is painfully evident
that this incessant proliferation
of assorted agricultural experts
hasn't prevented Canadian farm-
ing from becoming sicker with
every passing year.
One statistic that our govern-
ment would sooner not discuss is
the relationship between inflation
and the rising coat of.. govern-
ment, but the sad fabt is there for
all who have the honesty to see it.
As the rate of government spend-
ing goes up, so does the rate of
inflation. At one time we be-
wailed the cost of our . military
and we thought that if we could
only be free of the burden of the
Army, a new day would dawn for
us. We still have an Army, but the
81,000 men in the Armed Forces
cost us but a piddling fraction of
what we now have to pay to main-
tain the still growing army of a
million and a quarter federal,
provincial and municipal em-
ployees.
Where will it all end? Well
perhaps we might consider the
•sad history of Uruguay which,
with its fertile wheat lands and its
millions of fat cattle was once the
most prosperous country in South
America. Today, of all the
