Tsubouchi Accountant Lake Superior Board of Education P.O. Bag 'A' MARATHON, Ontario POT 2E0 (807) 229-0436 D.I. McQuarrie Director of Education All the world's a C I rc U S- cont'd from previous page would look all that bad with those present uniforms you're wearing. If I didn't love the post office would I take the time and effort to make it better by submitting this simple set of improvements to Harvie Andre to ensure that Canada Post remains Canadian and publicly owned? 1) Guarantee delivery of mail within the same term of office of the prime minister who was in power that day it was posted. 2) Postal unions should be allowed to strike only during those months which have an "r" in them. 3) Electronic ankle bracelets should be placed on all outside workers so we can participate in a television game show, the object of which is to guess where they are and what they do all day. 4) All dogs in this country should be declawed to give flee- ing mailmen a head start. And I'm willing to back this up by championing the move to print a $64.38 stamp to see that Canada Post continues in the role of our national communication's system, men and women who brave the elements of rain, sleet, snow and darkness of night in back of taxis all across this great land, to deliv- er the mail. And....and.I've even gone to the trouble to develop a contin- gency plan to fill in for postal workers in the event of a tempo- rary closure due to a change of ownership. We're going to have Jehovah Witnesses deliver the mail. Hey - they're coming to your door anyway. Let's give them your mail and one more thing to chat about other than how you're going to burn in hell. Think about it, the mail goes inside the Watch Tower with an elastic band around it and presto - Sunday mail delivery. It'll be a real pain re-programming the dogs to attack them instead of posties but we've all got to pitch in for the cause. In closing I want to state pub- licly that I have always backed up the post office 100 per cent. If we Canadians are dissatisfied with its performance, it's our own bloody fault. We put the wrong name on the corporation and then tried to make the posties live up to our inflated expectations. Canada Post was too lofty a title. We should have dubbed the whole thing the Department of Disappearance and been thankful when something fell between the cracks unto our doorsteps. You people at Canada Post do a helluva job and everybody says so, except to your face. Just keep doing what you do best and I'll keep getting the word out to the public and that way we can always remain friends. Legion needs old books Do you have any old paper- backs or hard cover books you have thought of throwing out? The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 223 in Terrace Bay, in conjunction with the Command Office in Winnipeg, has a place for these. The Legion has been collecting these books for some years, and distributing them to Canadian Military Personnel on bases outside the country through an involved transportation sys- tem. A second programme being undertaken by this same organi- zation, is the collection of old eye glasses. These items are assessed by competent personnel within the Legion, and are made avail- able to people in need of such items. These glasses are not being abused, the frames, nose pieces, arms, hinges, etc, are recovered from these discarded glasses, and are sent to organiza- tions affiliated with the Royal Canadian Legion all-over the World. So if you have any old glasses you have not discarded from your past prescription change, or those old broken frames you may have saved for parts of your present glasses and find they are not the same, we would like to hear from you. Old books, old eyeglasses, if you have any lying around col- lecting dust, there is someone who may be able to use them. You can contact the Legion dur- ing business hours, or contact George Churney at 825-3745. Arrangements can be made to collect them. The Legion in Terrace Bay has been actively supporting commu- nity efforts for many years. This is probably the first time such a request has been made of the community on behalf of. the Royal Canadian Legion, help us help someone. NEED TO ADVERTISE?
