Tug MacLennan of_ Remus
wrote
wrote a 40 400 letter to the
editor of the Fergus -Elora: Ea»
press,' opposing; the change?, and
sent a .copy ° to his 11W.. The
Express editor pointed out some
of the follies of the Change and
said: "Lately, a few people have
suddenly said 'Is it worth it?' "
Believe me chaps, it is not
worth it, and if you don'tooppose
the changes for any other reason,
fight them on the basis 'of' cost.
Ontario alone has just allotted:
$1.5 million to schools for ' :con
verting measuring articles. Mul-
tiply this by 10 and you have just
scratched the surface.
Connie Hodgins of High., River,
Alta., is hopping mad about the
arrogance With which the mea-
sures have been introduced. She
claims somebody must have
brainwashed the MPs to "pre-
pare thein to act like a flock of
sheep and vote without waiting to
hear what their constituents'
wishes were".
A pungent comment from a
reader in Renfrew: "Yes, we
have Celsius and the politicians
tell us it is for export. Where can
we export our weather except to
theALS4, a t# Y,110 wt:! at it -
The government is preaching
economy. Each road sign to be
replaced by a kilometre sign will
cost $30. How do you like those
bananas? Sick -sick -sick."
A lady from Waterloo suggests
that the introduction of Celsius is
"just about the last straw" in
minorities forcing things on the
majority, such as that pitiful
Canadian flag and bilingualism.
She adds: "I'd like to know just
who they (the gov't) did ask. No-
body ever asked me or anyone I
have come in contact with. The
.silent majority just got taken
again."
Even my old high school math
teacher, Earl Fleming, said he
was waiting to see me blast it in
my column. Now if - a math
teacher doesn't like metric, or
sees no need for it in Canada,
surely there isn't any.
I've run out of space, but not
out of mad. Come on, you silent
majority. Let's make some noise.
I'm sick to death of being buried
in that stuff that is emitted by all
those chickens in Ottawa. And I
know I'm not alone. Keep the
letters flying and the shouts of
outrage echoing.
You there, lady, you with the
beautiful 38-22-38 figure. Maybe
you're apathetic and you say we,
can't fight City Hall. But you'll
change your tune when they call
you out in centimeters. You'll
fight when someone says you are
a 95-55-95. You're gross!

blamed for illness
According to Dr. Milton
Zaret, American microwave
expert, scatter effect from
the Russian radar tracking
station at Lake Ladoga,
northeast of Leningrad, may
be responsible for a sharp in-
crease in heart disease and
cancer in Finnish towns near-
by.
Domantsi, near the Russian
border installation, had the
highest heart disease rate in
the world and Kuopio and
Joensuu also have high rates.
Two towns closer to the
tracking station have shown
increases 111 cancer.

while people;stop to inspect his work,
many old 'replicasfound :at Black. Gree;
__pear Toronto;
I had an unexpectedholiday the
other day. The college where I
am paid to dispense wisdom and
knowledge wet closed for a;day
by the professors' union. The of-
ficial term for this day of protest
was "study session", but whether
it was a full grown strike .or not,
the results were all the *same. The
students, to mostof whom were in
their final week of preparation
for exams, were without classes.
And what was the protest all
about?.The usual things -. salar-
ies, working conditions and job
security. Some of these young
professors who come ,fresh. out of
university with an M.A. may be
paid as little as $15,000 a year,,
you know.
They could hardly complain
about the hours required of them,,
since 12 hours per' week is ' con-
sidered a full load, but they did
want fewer pupils per class, and
for all their complaints about the
injustice of it all, they wanted to
have some sort of government
affidavit that their jobs would be
permanent.
Or to sum the whole thing up in
a nutshell, the college staff was
staging a one day sitdown to pro -
fist being exploited.
Seems to me that "ejloita-
tion" is getting to be an obsession
with teachers' unions. Here in
Quebec the teachers' union even
went so far as to prepare a
special handbook to expose the
evils of exploitation, this to be
used in the public schools of the
province to observe May Day.
This handbook was clearly politi-
cal and it repeatedly inferred
that the workers are always right
and that "the bourgeois, capital-
ist exploiters" must be dis-
obeyed. And when one considers
the source, that exhortation
should surprise no one as Yves
Charbonneau, the union presi-
dent was hustled off to serve a
three-month jail term a couple of
years ago for urging workers to
disobey a court injunction.
Now no one will fault any cru-
sade which seeks to make war on
genuine exploitation, but some-
one in authority had to tell these
radical teachers that they have
no right to teach defenceless
youngsters that any work done
for 'the bosses" is insidious
slavery that must be done away
with. Even if the whole capitalist
system should tie abandoned,
there would still be bosses of
some kind and there would still
be work to be done under their
direction.
Fortunately the Quebec De-
partment of Education got wind
of this handbook in time and
ruled it out of order. Even the
rebel Parti Quebecois made it
clear that it had no sympathy
with it. Said Marcel Leger of the
P.Q. "We do not believe in the
political indoctrination of chil-
dren."
My own politics have always
been somewhat left of centre. (I
once spent quite a bit of time and
money to contest a federal seat
for the N.D.P.) But it seems to
me that work is not a sin — much
as I dislike it personally — and
that as long. as !eI su. bi
