Monday night it happened with some tough measures announced by Prime Minister Trudeau. Reaction so- far has been mixed but- you can rest assured there will be several changes before his pronouncements become law. In the meantime, those affected will be doing their utmost to find loopholes so they can get around the restrictions. Controls of any kind are difficult enough to impose during a war; in peace time it will be even tougher. NO LATE WORD in view of the above, the possibility of a national wide strikeby inside postal workers is stili not clear.- Voting is con- tinuing, but if the new regul1ations are to apply to these employees, there's no way they'll be granted their 71 per cent increase. In fact, even the increases recommended in the conciliation report were well over the 10 per cent limit. However, should there be a strike, we'll do our utmost to deliver papers in any outlying dis- tricts where service is stili operational. ',In town, papers will be available in stores and by carriers, and mail subscribers can pick up a copy at the Statesman office if they wish. It will be nice if such measures aren't needed. ANNIVERSARIES - Check the church page where several anniversaries and other celebrations are listed for this Sunday, withwhat promises to be interesting programs of varyingtypes. VOTE ON EGG MARKETING - Egg produ- cers in this area will be voting this week from Tuesday to Friday at the Agricultural offices here on whether or net they want to continue with the Ontario Egg Marketing Plan, and four alternative quota transfer policies. The eut- corne of the vote could conceivably bring some changes in the present system. SHORT WEEK - That holiday on Monday was en- joyable but thestaff members were, paying for it Tuesday and today, trying to complete three days work in 1l'ess than two. Two people are on holidays and on Tuesday another phoned in with the flu. If you receive this paper on time, you'1l know it al came out in the wash, LONG TIME AGO - Tuesday morning, Ken Bragg brought in a copy of an old Statesman dated March 5th, 1890. He found it in a ledger- belonging to Thomas S. Bragg. The paper had been saved, apparently, because it included an account of, the wvedding of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bragg. An interesting item showed the total an- nual expenditure for both the public and high schools at $31,408.95. Today, that's less than ý one top administrator would receive.
