POLITICAL HODGEPODGE - Anonymous Liberal candidate Mike Lisko, who accused the N. D. P. ofmaking a threa- tening phone callI to his wife, certainly got plenty of radio mileage out of it.. r e m inds me of the indignant man who the priest found grurnbling under the church steps.

Post Office Espionage Just Won't Stick If you've b e e n f ol1l1 owing counc1il lately and know about the postal auth- ortie's proposed merge for the Oshawa and Whitby postal branches, then per- h a p s your susp i c ions were aroused w h e n you d i s c o v ered you could no longer obtain airgrams at the Whitby Post Office. But even though postal authorities doseem bent on the merger, and even though you thought the I ack of airgrams a subtle beginning of the Oshawa take- over, Oshawa, this time, is innocent. The real reason Whitby residents are being tol d to pick up their ar igrams at the Oshawa office is simply that the 1 ast order of airgrams sent to the W h i tby office weren't sticking prop- erly. "Customers were complaining, so we had them shipped back to head of- fice", says the Whitby Post Master. "In any case', though this is not a s u b t I e beginning of the Oshawa mer- ger", he assures.
