However, my major con- cern as I retireti that night was the confrontation that appeared to be developing between the Prime Minister and Joe Morris, the president of the Canadian Labour Con- gress, over the government's anti-inflation controls. The solution came to me just as I was drifting slowly off to sleep .. Lt would be uecessary, it occurred to me, for each of the protagonists to become more aware of the other's problems in order to fully appreciate them and, to do that, they would have to change places. The suggestion was duly made andi promptly acted upon and the transfer of positions was made in almost no time at ail. Shortly afterward, two friends from Ottawa, Ted and Paul, dropped into my dream to visit. "'Nice dream you have here," Paul said, looking admiringly around my sub- conscious. "Thanks," I replied. "Now, tell me, how are things going with Pierre and Joe?" Ted looked grave. " Not very well, l'mn afraid," hie said, shaking lis heati. "0f course, as you know, Pierre quickly moved over to become, the president of the CLC. It's been rumoureti that lie always wanteti to be president, but I don't think this is what lie had in mmnd. Then Joe Morris became the head of the government and nothing's been the samne since.' "Whatever happened?" I asketi. Paul picked up the story. "Well, as soon as Pierre took over the CLC, hie starteti to rattie on about patriating the constitutions of the United Rubber Workers, ail of which are held in the United States.

Though it was the first time he'd been to Bowmanville, Mr. Brodie hopes to return next year with his saxophone quartet. Over 200 people attended the concert, which was the Iast in a series of three sponsored by the Bowmanville High Sehool Concert Association. - Photo by Liz Armstrong CLARK PACKERS SPECIALIZING IN Custo m Slaughtering - Cutting Wrapping and Freezing Freezer-orders of Top Qua lity Pork and Beef supplied from our own feed lot, cul, wrapped and f rozen.

He sigbed. "Lt's like parlia- meut used to be" "Useti to be?" I saiti. "You don't mean... ?" "Exactly," Ted put in, "Joe Morris bas organizeti the members of the House of Commons anti now tliey won't vote against eacb other at ail. They just stand there in the chamber with their arms linketi together siuging 'Sol- idarity Forever'." "I tio't believe it," 1 saiti in dismay. "Anti not onlythat," Paul -saiti, "we now have the screwîest set of laws in tlie world. Since everyone backs everyoue else, ahl they have to do is propose a favourite bill ant ili gets one huntireti per cent support." "Do you know," Ted went ou, "that Quebec bas been voted out of Canada three times anti lrought back in four times? Prince Edward Island lias been granteti full inde- peutience? We've officialiy declareti war on eight sep- arate countries, among them China, Russia anti Afghanis- tan? Anti two of them have already surrendereti?

"Try to give your bouse- plants more water in the air arounti them, anti less in the soil that they grow -in," lie ativises. "The humitiity in your home is as important to your plants as it is to you" When plants are brouglit indoors, they must often atijust to a 50 percent drop iu bumitiity. Shriveliug anti browning of leaf etiges is one sigu that tbe plant is lacking the proper bumitiity level. Tropical plants, in particular require a great deal more bumitiity than do many of the more common bouseplauts. One methoti of providing humidity is to mist spray plants with au atomizer, says Mr. Gomme. Misting shoulti be doue often anti completely by spraying botb the upper anti lower leaf surfaces. An alternative to misting is a type of water reservoir on which the pots are set. Place a '/?-inch layer of small peblbes or coarse santi in a shallow, waterproof tray or other similar container. Atid water to the tray to keep the base material moist at all times. The pots can then be placeti on this tray. "If the moisture level in the tray is kept fairly constant, the material will dispense moisture into the air arounti the plants liy means of evaporation. Ah bhousellants will benefit from eîther of these methotis of provitiing bumidity" Immediate treatment is available to an injureti worker if there are traineti First Aitiers on-tlie-job.
