(Wassink photo) Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy Between jaunts here and there my vacation here in Ottawa has been a restful and enjoyable one, just what I needed. No fuss and feathers. Mornings are spent relaxing -on the deck in housecoat and slippers sipping coffee and reading. The fragrance of sun warmed cedars, the twitterings of birds and the rustle of the breeze through the poplar leaves makes it a favourite spot. No squirrels perched on my lap eating peanuts this year as before for the cheeky rascals when doors and windows were closed, tried to chew their way through the kitchen window in search of nuts. This time, when others were busy with their own affairs "Big Foot" kept me company. No "Big Foot" is not a member of the Algonquin tribe. She is a black and white cat so named because she has an extra toe on cach front foot. This year, 1982, marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Rideau Canal, 198 kilometres of scenic waterway linking Kingston and Ottawa. Originally built for the defence of Canada it now invites each year. an invasion of tourists. many of them Americans, who come by the thousands to travel this unique waterway with its locks. picturesque spots with picnic facilities and enjoy the companionship of those they meet and make friends with along the way. For two years citizens groups from close to fifty communities along the canal have worked to prepare for this birthday. There are celebrations practically every day of this year in various communities. I have had the pleasure, on several occasions to make the trip on the Rideau Canal by houseboat and yacht, and can assure anyone who enjoys boating that is is a most enjoyabte'experience. Lind Godmer, the plucky twenty•ycar old who attempted to swim the treacherous passage between Manitoulin Island and ' . uuermory. was conquered by Lake Huron. Is that really a failure? She had completed thirty-two of the fifty-two kilometres distance in ten and a half hours. That seems to me an astounding accomplishment reminiscent of the Marilyn nen acnievement of the 1950s. Having made that same crossing in the relative comfort of the Chi-Chimaun I can attest to the tentless and unforgiving nature of those waters, especially on a stormy day. Something new and different was seen on Ottawa streets last week. It was the debut of a Bendable Bus.

A headline in the Ottawa Citizen boldy proclaimed "Terrorists to threaten Canada". The story explained that Armenian terror- ists have threatened Canada for holding Armenian prisoners. The threats followed the bloody shootout Saturday between an Ar- menian suicide squad Ind Turkish security forces in Ankora. Ottawa has already been the scene of one terrorist attack this year • the April shooting of a Turkish diplomat who remains in hospital at the present time. Metro Toronto police are holding four Armenians. without bail, on extortion charges. The terrorists want these prisoners released. Can this really be the same Canada of my girlhood when the only terrorist posing any threat was the mischievous lad who sat behind me in school and dipped my hair in the inkwell? My Canada has always been a relatively peaceful. law•abiding and God-fcartng land of milk and honey. Why can it not stay that way?

Argonaut fans, it now seems, after 30 years of gloom, will have something to cheer about, if their team can continue their winning ways. Coach O'Billowich has said that means every player giving 100 per cent all the time. every game. With that philosophy anyone can be a winner in any endeavour. So watch for exciting games.

These were among the findings of the 1981 Census of Agriculture. the results of which were released by Mar- tin .B. Wilk, Chief Statistician of Canada. at a news confer- ence attended by the Honor- able Eugene F. Whelan, Minister of Agriculture and the Honourable Jean- Jiicqucs Blais, Minjster re- sponsible for Statistics Can- ada. Average farm size has increased from 499 acres (202 hectares) in 1976 to 511 acres (207 hectares) in 1981. and a 9.4 per cent increase was recorded in the amount of land used for crops. Mr. Blais noted that two trends that began a decade ago are continuing. The me- dian age of farmers has declined (49.1 years of age in 1981 to 47.4 in 19811: and more farmers arc reporting off -farm work (35 percent in 1971 to 39 percent in 1981). In addition. average number of days per year spent on these off -farm jobs has increased from 154 in 19-1 to 1'1 in 1981. The Census of Agriculture also indicated that the vast majority of farms. 87 percent, arc still being operated by individuals and their fami hes. These farms accounted and Mrs. Herb Traviss.

Total capital value of farms, which includes the value of lands, buildings. machinery and livestock, has increased by 128 percent since 1976, land and building values being the largest com- ponents in the increase. Mr. Blais also said that the national and provincial sum- maries will be ready nine months earlier than they were after the 1976 Census and that 38 percent fewer person years were used. He attrib- uted this achievement to the close co-operation Statistics Canada received from Agri- culture Canada. provincial agriculture statistics offices. non-government organiza• tions. and to the 99.4 percent rate of return 'from respond- ents "who, along with the consumers. will ultimately be the prime beneficiaries of the superior data that have re. suited." The timeliness and high quality of the data were attributed also, -in part, to the use of a new. computerized editing and imputation sy- stem and a process of review and validation of data by various specialists in Statis- tics Canada's agriculture sta- tistics division. "Thus, the timeliness and integrity of our data are of the highest order and their value to the agriculture industry greater than ever before." Mr. Blais said. The Chief Statistician noted that "information pro- vided by Canadian farmers contributes to the develop- ment and operation of.ncarly every federal and provincial agriculture policy and pro- gram .nearly every aspect of agricultural planning and research undertaken by gov• crnmcnts. industry. educa• tional institutions. farm or- ganizations and individual farmers."
