TRENDS

The Commons Justice Commit tee
has recommended a national holi-
day for Feb. 18, to be called
Heritage Day. The cost - 9:1
million (people) x $33.12 (av
erage daily wage) = $301.7
million. - It's worth it!

INFLATION

Beer prices have gone up
in B.C., and are going up
in most of the other prov-
inces this week. In On-
tario, for example, a 12-
bottle case will cost $3.45
including the 25-cent de-
posit. Reason for the in-
crease is said to be the
cost of malting barley
which has risen from $1.25
to $3.40 per bushel.

MEN ARE OWLS TRYING TO SEE
THE SUN

e.g. For 25 years men have
polluted and slaughtered on the
highways, spending billions re-
searching ways to reduce the
pollution and slaughter. In

two months, despite our out-
raged protests, the evil Arab
oil embargo has reduced the
slaughter by 23%, turned Detroit,
Oakville and Windsor into small-
car factories, and made mass
transportation look like it will
work.
