This vear, we are sellmng enocolate bars. The students ha ve been selI- ing like crazy! For the top sellers, we have prizes of a sterea, a walking headset, IF ONLY i HED For moathe we have been making mental notes ta pur- clhose sanie flashight bat- teries for a couple of aid flashights at home which have always been evident ini ane place or anather. Those purchases were f*nafly made last week which then required a rummage through tiie basement ta fid the twa flashfights Of course, who can rind those flaahlights . .. thcy simply disappeared when we walked în the door wit-h the batteries. But the rumnmaging did turnuUp an aid Monapoly Gaine and the curiosity ta open the box and review the rules and procedures Of the game. It was neyer a gaine that we became excited about but we would bimç netherc arc fçw, that have flot played it. It was that I neyer really thauglit it was realistic and so mucli was by chance and a daring ta borrow finacial funding ta bufid an empire of hotels and penthouses an Park Place and Board Walk and ta gobble up the utiities and railways and at the smre turne have a bank roil suffi- dient enough ta keep you out of jail or pay the luxury taxes. The winner was that one persan who ended up with al the property by outpricig hlm accommodation thrauglx the expansion of mnore facilities which the rest of the players just could flot afford. They went bankrupt and could not survive auder the ecanomié system that had developed. Although thcewiner was dclard.. . what did ho real- and a cdock-radi. Also, there have been terrific daily prizes of records and t-shirts. There wiil also be a prize for the homeroom that brings the most money. The profits from this campaign wil go the student's council which ly have? Certainly- he owned ail tic property -but what good was this investmnent when nuo one could afford ta accommodate theinselves of the services. It was a no-win. situation for al parties and the only solution was ta put the game away and start aver another day. Saine of this may sound familar today as we consider the present ecouiamic systein oinly we- cannot just put the gaine away ta start over again tomorrow . .. or cam we? Lets replace Park Place and Board Walk ith the North Pacific and instead of bilding hotels and pen- thouses wc wiil put cil- driing ip 1»i place and as well we will buy up ail other associated ail praperties that become available or that we may be able ta manipulate in- ta our ownership. The utilities and railways af the Monopaly Gamne becomne Ford, Chrysier and Maisian. Certainly there is saine place on the board for Ontario Hydro and al thc other Mega projects that have ever been drcamed about even if there is fia outlet for their end pro- duct.Now wc are ready ta borrow ta the hilt and cost is no issue. But there is a day of reality and an end cornes as it did i Monoploy. The only dif- ference today we do have a ba-out priar ta -the endi of the gamne and fortunaftely the gaine gaes an and on. But this ail leaves me with the question.
