Will we have a rota NOMA
scandal next? Somme Old et ;a
meeting 1 atttoded that every
week as many trailer loads of
bananas spoil in .Montreal *Bane,
as trailer loads 4f eggs spoiled, in
a whole year. However, since no
marketing agency from farmers
is involved, I doubt if we will ever
see anything about it in the
papers. Why does every vege-
table grower have to dump tons
of carrots every year? Because
the consumer refuses to buy them
if they are not straight and
slender. In the meantime our
taxes are spent to investigate the

to prevent (first Blass fsrtnd
from being taken out of produc-
tion. Ontario is stili conteam plat-
inig such a move. B.C. has done so
already and Saskatchewan is
drafting legislation now It is
heartening to see that non4arrn
people at lastare beginning to
realize that our grandchildren
should have something to 'eat
also. Meantime officials of the
Ontario government are trying to
buy class one farmland, 100 acres
of it, for a lagoon for the ;Myth
sewage system. Whereas Blyth
has a population of less than
1,000, It seems that ten acres will
be needed for each man, wcuman
and child in the province. Does
Toronto use this much sewage
disposal space? I think not, for
then most of Ontario would be one
big lagoon. The question is, what
is more important, some extra
money for a treatment plant or
permanently destroying .:food
producing land? Queen's Park
must be a confused bunch of bu-
reaucrats.

Some American farmers who
killed their calves some weeks
ago have taken a different tack.
They organized a packing,plant,
truckers and other transporters,
and donated their money-losing
calves for food aid in hurricane -
stricken Honduras. Trucking:and
processing was done free of
charge.
Let's see. Where am I? 1 know I
was going to make a pointed,
telling attack this week on one of.
the great evils of our society. But
I can't remember what it was.
Maybe that's because I have
three exams to set, eleventy-four
essays to mark, my bricks are
falling out, along with my fillings,
and my wife, Who has just given
me a thrilling account of how she
couldn't get the car started, is
going to the hospital tomorrow.
Ah, well, c'est la vie, as the
Chinese say. You can't have
everything running like clock-
work in a worldin which the most
sensible creatures seem to be
cockroaches.
I also have forty-four letters to
answer, six vital telephone calls
to make, a speech to write, and a
grapdbabby to bring up.
Then there are about seven
thousand pounds of oak leaves to
rake and bag. I think I'll send
them to Bangladesh. Surely
somebody there knows how to
make oak leaf and acorn soup.
Don't think I'm being hard and
cynical. There's a lot of protein in
those acorns. And I have. 28
squirrels, not counting children,
in my attic to prove, it.

"A MUST TO PREVENT
RUST"
Maybe you think this isjust the
whining of a tniddleaged, men,
who can't cope with life. Well,
you're right.
My bricks are falling out. Or
they are being sucked out, by the
gentle vines of this old Georgian
house, which are about as gentle
as a giant squid, The roofer .said,
"Gem, Bill, yourbricks are
loose."
It sounds sort of obi,
like, "You have rocks in yoirr
head." But It's not. They're
falling out. (Or being knocked out
by the clumsy roofers and paint..
ers. Sh-h-h h. )
And my fillings are falling out
as fast as I can, or my dentist
can, put therm in. He's a nice guy,
and the most painless dentist I
have ever had, for which I will
cling to him until teeth do us
depart, but you can't build pine
trees out ofstumps.
And then there's my. grand-
babby. You'd think 'I would not
worry about him when he's a
hundred miles away. But I do.
How do I know those young.
sillies in the daycare centre are
teaching him the right things. Do
they know how to ride him on a
jigging foot to the tune of, "Did
You Ever Go Into An Irishman's'
Shanty, Where Money Is Scarce
and Whiskey Is Plenty?"?
Do they know how to let him
chew their thumb while at the
same time whistling in his belly
and waving his bare foot in the
air to the tune of "Knees Up,
Mother Brown"?
Well, maybe the young sillies
aren't doing too badly, as long as
there are three of them to one of
him. At least they're not trying to
unteach him the good things he's
learned from his gramps.
Had a call from his mother last
Sunday. She made 'it from a
phone booth, as Mother Bell has
not smiled on them yet. Asked
her where the baby was. She re-
sponded coolly that he was on her
knee, tearing pag s out of the
telephone directory.
He loves tearing up books, es-
pecially those of sacred `insti-
tutes, like the Bell. I started him
IN
"'=�`v Third
off with the nano cared ate*
tions of the Saturday Mors. He
seemed to thrive on it, ripping
them apart with gam, relish,
and anyketchup that happened to
be around.
X th+aughtiit wise to move h a to
telephone books, °police. reports,
politician speeches, beer labels
and such examples ,of Canadian
culture. rns, out lie's a boy
after my own heart.
Go to it, Pokey. His real name
is Nieov Chen, but I tacked Pokey
on bine,And ithas stuck. He pokes
into everything that is moving, or
still. If it's .moving, he stops it; if
it's still, he makes it move,
grinning fiendishly all the time.
I tell you, it's a gay, mad whirl
around here. Just now I was in-
terrupted by two pretty girls at
the front door, rakes in hand. I'd
forgotten about them. They'd
come to rake my leaves: For
money, of course. Couldn't get
any boys.
In the past week I' shave also
dealt with sixteen students Who
are obvious Hunkers, one irate
parent, several disgruntled
teachers, and one invitation to
judge a beauty contest.
To top it off, in , today's mail
came an election flyer, from Ray
Argyle, who syndicates this
column, announcing his run for
school trustee. He must be out of
his nut.
Everybody seems to be going a
bit mad these days, but I'll lay
odds that I get there before the
rest of you.

A relatively_ new fuel, wax
