During this course, I wore my normal business attire... blue suit, white shirt, and tie. As I entered the school corridors, I was usually met by the echoing sound of locker doors slamming all down the hall. Someone finally explained that the kids thought I was a cop. A big guy, in a suit, in the school, had to be a cop. I was not alone in mistakenly using attire as the criteria for judgment. Clothing is actually just one of the means I ly on to misjudge people. There's also sex, occupation, color of hair and the way people walk. Boy, the way people walk is a good one. I dislike strutters, shufflers, swaggerers and slinkers. Women who put one foot directly in front of the other as if they're on a fashion runway bug me. Actually, unless you walk like me, I mistrust you. I use all these methods of assessing people in lieu of common sense. Probably because I haven't any. - George Underhill [) dad CELE sa a aiadads FRAMERATE Fiddle 'n Frostbite 3 sl lel Sis Tas Bs Nl} ys es Nts ys Vy Ny Vs Sl Sy Ji is ¥ A § ol A Musical 7 & Celebration : a of Winter @ ; with 3 Zeke Mazurek Jeanette Arsenault : & Janet Kellough ' Saturday, December 28th at 8 p.m. # Mount Tabor Playhouse, Milford z Tickets $15 available at ¢ Hicks General Store & Books on the Bay i: or call (613) 476-3988 i : What a great stocking stuffer! : A LT he' Sy ys Ty as Ps ls as Dt Vis Nets Wy Nig i 2 Er iss The Coat of P P.E. - Continued from page 7 ability to develop a sound, viable, economic entity- The Country of Prince Edward and Anguilla- but I assure you we can. Remember that old movie The Mouse That Roared? It concerned an impoverished country that declared war on America. It's army consisted of a few guys in mediaeval armour, who were quickly and harmlessly overcome. The Ameri- can then, having conquered the Country, had to rebuild it and set up mechanisms that would ensure its ongoing viability. We could do the same thing. Declare war on the United States. I'd do it in the winter with the declara- tion being made from Anguilla. This would provide a more comfortable environment for the American troops to invade us. I'm sure they would be ready to do so, even if only as a training exercise since their escapade in Grenada is now fading in many memo- ries. In addition, we have several Military Establish- ments they could use in the continued need they have to protect Canada. "What about Canada's reaction?", I hear you say. Come on you know our country, by the time they launched several studies and judicial enquiries into the matter, it would be too late and the citizens of our now sister country, Canada, would see what an advantage it would be to have a tax haven so close to home. Would we be a Republic or a Monarchy? 1 lean toward a republic since we wouldn't want to use the tired old British Monarchy and 1 really couldn't see us having James Taylor as King. How would our U. E.L.'s.react to such a change? I don't think this would be a problem. After all they've lived through the disappearance of the Empire. If there were some terribly upset die-hards, I think we would try our darnedest to lease some land for them on the estate of Camilla Parker Bowles. "O.K where do we go from here?, I hear you ask. That depends entirely on you. As a boss once said to me "T only deal in policy--operations are your responsibility". - John A. Jackson
