Mr. and Mrs. John Isaac and Mr. and Mrs. Canada Post to extend rate freeze Canada Post an- nounced today it will extend its current rate freeze at least through to the end of the first quarter of 1985. The last postal rate increase was in early 1983. Speaking to the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, R. Michael Warren, president and chief executive officer of Canada Post Cor- poration siad, "This decision will not only provide some unex- pected financial relief to our customers, but it will also enable us to concentrate our full efforts on the series of labour negotiations in which we are currently involved. "The exact timing and the amount of any future rate increase will, of course, depend partly on the outcome of these negotiations." In order to finance this extension of the rate freeze, Canada Post will have to find further internal savings and use some of the revenues from increased sales. 'In terms of the current negotiations the corporation is pursuing two primary goals: a phased-in movement towards. wage com- parability with its private sector com- petitors and increased flexibility to manage the workforce more ef- ficiently. Canada Post has already reached a tentative agreement with the Letter Carriers' Union of Canada and Warren is "optimistic" that a fair and reasonable negotiated settlement will be reached with the inside postal workers in the weeks ahead. The president also announced that Canada Post will concentrate its business development efforts on three key existing product lines: parcels, courier ser- vices and electronic mail, rather than on new business ventures. Noting that the total overall volume growth on all products in the past year 'has been in the five to six percent range, Warren said, "Our ultimate objective is to move more mail, more quickly, with proportionately fewer resources. We're- developing an effective national postal production line that will, in the months ahead, enable us to continue to increase our speed and reliability in a cost- effective manner, while still processing the increased volume."'

A van carrying the saw was being driven down one of the rough dirt roads on the property when the saw flipped out the back of the vehicle. By the time the driver of the van noticed that the saw was missing and returned to look for it, someone else apparently spotted it" and picked it up. The saw is valued at $300. J. P.

Your skull is as strong as steel. And your feet can stand up to a pounding of more than 1,000 tons a day says DUO writer Graham Payne. Did you know your ears are still growing, even though the other parts of your body have stopped? And that if you lived to be 1,000, your ears would be as large as an elephant's? The quality of your hearing varies according to the time of day. It is at its worst at lunchtime and at its keenest during the early morning. You may not have a hairy chest, but your whole body is covered with hairs more than 500,000. The only hairless areas are the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. And you may not think the hair on your head is very strong, but is as strong as aluminium. A narrow stretch of rope woven from human hair has supported the weight of a small car. Your skull is as strong as steel, though proportionately it weighs only a fifth as much. You think you've got nice big blue eyes? No so. Blue eyes are really red and only appear to be blue. The iris, the coloured part of the eye, is covered with tiny blood vessels which, seen through the cornea at the front of the eye, look blue (in the same way veins look blue when seen through the skin). The fact that you blink several hundred times a day means you spend a considerable amount of~ your waking life unable to see a thing. The hardest part of your body is the enamel on your teeth - it is even harder than ivory. Your hands are probably your most complex instruments, capable of performing thousands of jobs with precision. Just to grasp something brings into play a host of muscles, joints and tendons - from the shoulders to the fingertips. Taking a spoonful of soup, for instance, involves more than 30 joints and 50 muscles. ROXY TWIN THEATRES 526-5791 Starts Friday 7and9 , aes ROXY } a bolita : (Ca! BODY DOUBLE ROXY 2 Fri-Sat.
