creature".
He compared Jesus to the great
physician. When a patient faces

to the skill of the surgeon, The
Christian trusts God to put his
love into our hearts so that we
can become ambassadors for
Christ and spread his teachings

"Sneaky Aggressive." It doesn't
sound too nice, but he's tiny for
his age, and has to look after
himself somehow. What it
means, I gather, is that when
some bigger kid has pushed you
around, you wait until he's not
looking, then sneak up and bite
him on the ear, or anything else
that's handy.
Well, the postal workers are at
it again. After one of the most
futile strikes ever seen in
Canada, they settled, a year ago,
for a 29 per cent package, far
above the maximum allowed by
the AIB. Others, teachers, mill
workers, were rolled back, while
the uncivil servants of our postal
system kept their loot.
As I write, they are holding
rotating (and illegal) walk-outs,
cocking a snook at government
tenth man or woman in. the
postal department and shoot the
. person: But I'm getting there. If
Trudeau were smart, he'd call
back Bryce Mackasey, eat hum-
ble pie, and kill two birds with
one stone.
I am ambiguous toward the
postal people, which takes some
of the sting out of my attack.
Most of those in small towns are
friends and sometimes neighbors
of the people they serve. They're
friendly, reasonably courteous
and as efficient as the system,
one of the most inefficient in the
country, will let them be.
It's in the bigger towns and
cities, where there is no personal
contact between servers and
served, that the militancy among
postal workers is fostered. The
workers feel themselves mere
cogs in a big machine, not
dividuals. The public doesnit'
give a damn about them, as long
as it gets its mail on time.
Therein lies revolution, and
always has.
But I'm getting a little ticked
off with labor in general in this
country, along with a hell of a lot
of other people who once sup-
ported it. We have one of the
rottenest histories of strikes in
the world, over the last few
years
Even the British working man,
for many years a real bearcat
when it came to unions and
strikes, has realized there is a
point of no return, and is co-
operating with government in an
attempt to slow inflation in the
U.K., by limiting demands for
pay boosts.
Not so Canadian labor, It's
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!"
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I
think there's something wrong
with the values of a country in
which a plumber makes more
than a public health nurse, a
meat-cutter makes more than a
minister.
In fact, I'm so fed up with
labor that if my own union, the
teachers' federation, asked me
to go on strike over some real or
fancied grievance, my first reac-
tion would be; "Drop dead."
Where there is injustice, it
must be rectified. But where
there iS Only greed, getting as
much as you can, and giving as
little as possible, I've had
enough. And that applies to sex
and sympathy, as well as labor.
Last item in these futile fall
notes, Vor two Weeks I've been
wearing a magnetic bracelet
which iS supposed to relieve my
arthritis.
I'd have been just as far ahead
to stick an onion in my ear, and
go out and swing, by the tail, a
dead cat at the Moon, like Huck
Finn. A colleague suggested this.
