Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 11, 1974 3 As we begin a new week, there are three top stories that have been filling the news media here and elsewhere, and there's a common ground in all three ... they smell. As last week drew to a conclusion, in Canada it was the destruction of millions of rotten eggs, either stored improperly or too ong, that hit the headlnes. The Egg Marketing Board came in for strong criticism over this waste as people all over the country protested what appeared to theni to have been a conspiracy to keep egg prices at a high level. Many others, realizing how those millions of eggs would have been welcomed when fresh in other parts of the world where food is scarce, ~ were horrified and angry that such a situation should have been allowed to develop in this country, and demanded action to prevent a recurrence. Meanwhile, at Ottawa, Whelan and Plumptre were at each other, she damning those in cabinet who wouldn't ta ke action after they'd been warned, and the other doing his best to mollify the protesters and the egg producers. It probably won't happen again in the ture more rigid contro e ý.effect and any eggs that appear overripe will be taken out of storage .and shipped or processed some- where, out of the limelight. Daredevil Evel Knievel has to be either the best con man on the :continent or those back of him are. The build up to his big jump over the Snake River canyon was a superb bit '-'of showmanship, drawing thousands to see the big event at $25 a head, others watchmg it on closed circuit television at varying prices. All of which proves there's a sucker born every minute as Mr. Barnum found out. One can't heip wondering what the sequel will be.- So far as the public was concerned, he had just wo choiées, either to complete the jump or get killed in the attempt. They felt let down when they found out there was a third choice, to land b parachute on the canyon floor. more power to him and his $6 Where Cool is The spreadin epidemic of strikes, le al and illegal, and the prospect of st i more essential services shut down, presents a grim outlook for individuals and companies that want to use ships buses, subways and planes - an the mails. Consider, for instance, the likeli- hoods on the postal front. With contracts expiring at the end of the _ar,'the federal government cannot even get negotiations going because the Council of Postal Unions has split in two. The only certitude is that each union will want to get at least a little more than the other. This raises the likelihood of wildcat strikes before Christmas, lengthier shutdowns in the new year, and it may well mark the end of any hope that the government can set an example of moderation in settle- ments. The situation with Air Canada ilots is equally tense. Traditionally, they get a 'little more than their counter parts at CP Air who, somebody recently let slip, got $68,000 a year in their new contracts. Now the Air Canada pilots, who sniffed at a mere 9.5 percent increase, are putting together a hefty strike fund and a lengthy strike is quite possible. (What do mere ministers of the Crown do with workers insisting on $70,000 or $75,000?) These developments come on top of the rapid deterioration of union- management relations in other industries. Great Lakes shipping is largely tied ùp by an illegal s rike of ship engineers. West Coast grain :andlers are no locked outafteramn -impasse that had already jeopardiz- ed Canada's crucial grain exports. ~Negotiations wvith 98,000 rail workers promise to be touch and go.

They come in all sizes, from tiny shrimps pan to hulking giants. Some of them come from small country schools. To be dumped in a huge complex building housing daily about 1,700 people, including staff, is rather ura frightening for them. They get lost. That's reasonable; even some of the teachers get lost. But the kids lose their books, forget where their lockers are or if they. find them, have forgotten the combination for the lock. Thej have ord to unravel all the do's and don ts of a huge and baffling new system. But they get sorted out and after a month, they're old hands, just as cocky as ail the others. Now for babies.

They're softer (in more 4 ways than one), they make the I · appropriate noises, they pick you up and kiss you when you fall down, they sing to you and joggle you on their knees, and so on.

His technique was impressive. I was wearing nothing but shorts most of the time. He would reach up from the floor, grab me by the hair on my le gs with a grip like an orangutan, pull himself to his feet, grinning with trium h and swaying around, ready to fal, bump his head and start yelling. Another beseeching look, and I'd hoist him onto my knee. Then he'd turn around, grab me by the hair on my chest, and pull himself up for a littie jump, jump, jump facing me. When of that, he'd start grabbing my nose and trying to pull it out, or poking at my eyes, or tearing at an ear. Suddenly, he'd squirm around and want down. On the floor, he'dhead, at startling speed and with a demonic grin, straight for a standing floor lamp. He loved it because when you shook it, from ground level, it made a nice jinghing sound. It is also heavy enough to brain a baby. So grandad leaps across the.room and grabs the lamp in the nick of time, points the kid in another direction and sinks wearily into his chair. Sixty seconds later, hie feels a painful twisting of the hair on his legs, and off we o again. One of us never got tired o this little routine.
