giammin By Bill Smiley
Sooner or ,later, someone is
wing to realize that we Can-
i*dians possess the most deadly
• weapon in the world. When this
• happens',= you ,scan. say goodby to
the 'cold *ar, and you can be
glad you're a citizen of the
nation that is about to become
dominant in our times.
_ 4'
Our leaders haven't tumbled
to the devastating potential of
this weapon yet, but 1. have, and
I'm willing, with ail the friction
in the world' sthese days, , to let
them in on it, to. unleash, it on
.the troublesome nations, and to
put an end to the perpetual
wrangling among the major
powers.
It is a weapon that makes
nuclear warfare look like cave-
man stuff. It shatters people
physically. It` wrecks them
morally, mentally and emotion-
ally. My only doubt is this: have
Canada's leaders ,the ruthless-
ness necessary to turn it loose
en humanity?
* *
I'm referring, of. course, to
The Flu. As 1 sit here tapping
out this ringing call to arms
with shaky fingers, my nose
dripping a steady accompani-
ment, my body wracked by hot
and cold flushes, I- can't help
thinking it's a shame to let
such a vicious weapon remain
strictLy for home consumption.
* * 4,
All . our Prime Minister would
have to do is round up a dozen
Canadians who are suffering
'from The Flu. He could find
them, at any time of the year,
in any numbers, in any part of
the country. Put them on a
plane and send them on state
visits to Moscow, Washington,..
I4tpdon, Paris, Peking, Berlin
• .or g*ny-other trouble spot. `,:Let.
:theremingle freely - at diplo
matin cocktail parties.
=tt �•
I'll guarantee that within a
• few months, 90 per cent of the
'people in the world would have
The •Flu. Wars would cease.
Intet'hational strife would end.
,Evorybody would be too busy
• 'with The Flu.
* 4,
Personally, I'd rather be Alit
by a hydrogen bomb than by
The Flu. With the former, you
can only be blown to bits or
burned to cinders. With the
latter, you die a thousand
deaths, a couple of times a year,
for life. •
Can't you see •those Russian
moujiks ' reeling around with
fevers, runny noses and hacking
coughs- They wouldn't have
enough energy to, murmur
"Nyet!" at the UN. We'd have.
"them on their knees before you
could say, "Dniepropetrovsk."
When you ,. have The Flu,
you're just not interested in
fighting anybody. In the first
place, you're so weak you can't
lick .your lips. In the • second,
you don't want slaughter; you
want sympathy.
You may think all this is a
bit fanciful, but I know. This
week, I haven't even had the
strength or the spirit to. fight
with my wife. Instead of walk-
ing around me, my kids just
push Me • out of the way. 1 was
so weak that, when I was chang-
ing the goldfish, 1 ,nearly went,
flat- on my back when he gave
a flip in my, hand.
That's' the physical aspect.
But ' the psychologicaleffect is
° even more horrible. You ; go
around .1 -a cloud of depres-
sion. You develop 'a deep and
b'itter hatred•of everybody: your
family, which seems remark-
ably unconcerned by the fact
that you're dying; Finless
friend's whose idea of sympathy
is to tell you about the terrible
dose of The Flu they had last
spring: doctors, who tell you
the thing to do is go to bed for
AND
a few days, when it's all you
can do to get to bed at nights.
Beauty of my plan for Can-
ada's world domination is •that
there is no defence, no counter
weapon for The Flu. With the,
same hideous malevolerice, It
seeks out high and low, rich and
poor. No bomb shelter is deep
enough to protect against it.
This little plan to produce
world peace is offered to Mr.
Diefenbaker and his boys (if
they're still around when this
is printed) for ,nothing. I don't
want public acclaim, or a large
monetary 'reward, or even a
knighthood. All I want is to
get rid of my Flu.

Aid Course
POWER INTERRUPTED AS
OLD WALL COLLAPSES
dden collapse,:" 't'iday at
2 p.na., sent a $0 -foot section of
the south wall of the Old Organ
Factory crashing across East
street and caused a power inter-
ruption throughout the sur-
rounding district. The building
is being demolished to make
way for the construction of a
new apartment building.
At the time of the crash, a
caterpillar bulldozez' was at-
tempting to pull down the wall
from the inside of the property.
Instead of falling according to
plans, the wall buekle'tl and
crumbled across the sidewalk
and, roadway. The Hydro trans-
former line, onr East street, and
its supporting pole were struck
by the mass of brick and tim-
ber, breaking power supply to
several industrial consumers
and residents in the area. Ser-
vice was quickly restored, with-
in an hour, by P.U.C: crewmen.
The East street traffic block
ade was soon cleared as the
"cat" and the construction men
shovelled the debris back onto
the .property. No one was in-
jured in the mishap, guards had
been posted outside the build-
ing to warn pedestrians prior
to the collapse.

ARCHITECTURAL, BEAUTY
The 14Oorish fortress palace
called the Alhambra, in Gran-
ada, Spain, is considered ' the
most"beautiful ample of west-
ern Mohammedan architecture
in existence. Its; beauty lies not
only in gorgeous coloring but
even more in' the way that the
Moorish architects use the bill -
Haut sunlight of the' region to
alternate with shadow in play-
ing through the graceful;liillars
and- arees.. After the IdIoors
lost tie palace to the Spaniards
in 1492, one wing was destroyed
by Charles V. Philips V Italian-
ized many of the rooms. The
French in 1812 blew up some
of its tOwers. By 1828, how-
ever,._ restoration of the-.beanti_
ful building got underway.
This task occupied three gen-
eratoins of architects in the
one family.
