Why Take A Chancel
Canada is facing a prolonged steel strike and there
are rumours of a USA steel strike, too. This could
set. back Canadian auto production drastically, as
all our steel stampings are imported. The situation in
the auto industry is uncertain too. Let's face it . , .
there could well be a severe shortage of new cars

To cope with this possibility, we've stepped up our
orders and now have a number of , , .

One dance, called

ignited. Some of the inflamina-

customer's tables, They .of course
hadn't noticed this, They soon
did. The native .dancers then
proceeded to Glance .about in the

from the orchestra.
There were other equally un-
rehearsed events, I found the
hest one to be when ane of the
waders drew a knife on one of
the other waiters wlro, I guess,
served a drink in the wrong
territory. I rather think this
wasn't part of the show. At least
the blood looked real. They mop-
