The United States Government is
currently embroiled in a diplomatic
aoic
battle in an effort to free 49 hostages
held captive in the U.S. Embassy in
Tehran, Iran.
The Ayatollah Khomeini and
thousands u nf Iranian students are
retaining the American hostages in the
embassy in hopes of rnaking a swap for
the Shah of Iran. The Shah was in New
York recently undergoing treatment
for cancer and just this week was
hustled offto Texas.
Pze_aidaot Jimmy Carter and
3ocrotury. of State Cyrus Vance
wouldn't mind shuffling the shah to
another country, but Mexico recently
refused such a trade offer. They will
not release the sbub, to Iranian of-
ficials auywuy, but have been con-
sidering several alternatives.

This diligent correoyoudopt, in
another humble display of his in-
vestigative talents,
n'voadXutivotolpota. has uncovered the
listofalternatives proposed by Carter
to initiate the release of the American
` hostages in Tehran.
It is rumored that President Carter is
considering sending the Ayatollah a
pair of exploding under shorts for
American' diplomats--ureconsidering
giving Iranian studei ts free tickets to a
Toronto Maple Leafs -Colorado Rockies
hockey game. After the contest the
students would be treated to an in depth
analysis of the same game by
Ho wie(golly gee) Meeker. They would
soon be begging for mercy.
The American Government has not
overlooked the possibility of in-
filtrating Iranian television with Gong

highlites. They would surely surrenderGame
before the new year.
They have not overlooked the
possibility of sending some of
Ayatollah's top aides season tickets to
all Toronto Argonaut home football
games. They would beg forgiveness
before the pre -season games were
over,
Carter is personally
finishing touches to a plan that would
have CIA agents stealthily make their
way into the embassy coMpound and
sneak a tape of _Henry Kissinger,
singing his favorite Christmas carols,
onto the loudspeaker system.
It is rumored to be more deadly than
nerve gas.
As a personal vendetta Carter had
considered training a family of
seagulls to take up residence in the
Ayatollah's beard.
Top White House QffiCials are said to
have offered the Ayatollah a trade
involving Richard Nixon, Howard
Cossell and a Dallas Cowgirl
cheerleader to be named later in return
for the hostages.
Unconfirmed reports claim the
Ayatollah is looking favorably upon the
trade but is still holding out for Chuck
Barris.
A White House diplomatic team has
proposed inviting the Ayatollah tob*u
guest on Bowling for Dollars, The
Dating Game and Let's Make Deal.
While the Iral leader is idoinB his
darndest to win a refrigerator -freezer,
the hostages would be plucked from the
embassy unharmed.
President Carter has warned the
Iranian administration that if the
bnota0ekwer* not released he would
send his brother Billy to Iran to
ramance Moslem women, make rude
and suggestive comments and
generally b the country.
Could Iran balkoaothreat Uke-thuat?
The D.S. President has even
threatened to set up a blind date with
the Ayatollah's lady and Idi Arnin
The White House has promised to
remove all Western influences from the
country for the return of the hostages
with the exception of the movie, Bonzo
Goes to College. It is a favorite among
Iranian students.
There has been a lot of homework
done at the White House and one of the
plans is likely to work.

Th&re are more women
in the Canadiuh work
force, than ever before.
Because of this, many
women are finding it
increasingly difficult to
get jobs. It is a fact that
the unemployment rate
among women is higher
than that of men
As a partial solution to
the problem, the
Canadian government is
advocating untraditional
jobs for Women through
courses such as the one
now being offered by the
Canada Employment
Centre and Conestoga
Collegein Clinton.
The course, called
Introduction to Non -
Traditional Occupations
for Women, will be taught
by Mary Ramsberry at
Conestoga College in
Clinton beginning
January 7. It will run for
eight vvoeko, with four
weeks of in -school in-
struction and four weeks
of practical instruction in
various industries. It is
open to wornen 17 years of
age and over who have

Personally l think it's all a crock.
The only reason more people crack up
is because there's more people to crack
up. I'm not convinced people were

when they drove around in ws and

were hungry.

The purpose of the

occupations could include
