lt m wl Mrs. Arthur Sully of Erb St. W., broke open an egg and found three yolks inâ€" side. Poultry experts desâ€" cribe tripleâ€"yolk eggs as exâ€" tremely unusual. Incidentally, the exemption of automobiles from the surtax doesn‘t mean there will be a sudâ€" den flow of Canadian cars across the border. All cars made in this country are available in the U.S. at less money, and the Nixon program is going to cut an average of $200 off the price of Americanâ€"built cars. Under the terms of the Auâ€" tomotive Trade Act, there is supposed to be only two or three percent difference in the price of cars in Canada and the U.S. But anyone who has compared retail prices knows the difference can be as much as 40 percent.

Perhaps they are considering something with more force, such as an embargo system requiring the purchase of manufactured goods to obtain a proportionate amount of raw materials. Such a move would be called selfâ€"preservation or blackâ€" mailâ€"depending which side of the international fence you were on. This, naturally, will hit hard at countries such as Canada, which depend heavily on sales to the U.S. Acting Prime Minister Mitchell Sharp, in proposing the march on Washington, was actâ€" ing in the best interests of Canadian industry and all Canada, and he even had a point when he noted that, when the tables were reversed some time ago, Canada chose not to erect barriers against U.S. goods. The U.S. surtax applies mainly to manufacturâ€" ed goods, with the notable exception of automoâ€" biles. The raw materials which the U.S. needs for its industry largely are not to be taxed. Alâ€" though this will still bring American dollars into the Canadian economy, it will do little to help our unemployment situation. But we suspect Mr. Sharp and the Canadian delâ€" egation are overlyâ€"optimistic. Canada and the United States are major trading partners. If the United States is to make its antiâ€"inflation proâ€" gram work, it‘s not likely to start making excepâ€" tions with its biggest suppliers. Other countries are sure to have even stronger arguments. Mr. Nixon announced the tax this week as part of a bid to boost the U.S. economy. By raising the tax on imports he expects to stimulate American production and sales. s A group of Canada‘s top leaders are off to Washington this week with their hats in hand to beg exemption from President Nixon‘s 10 percent surtax on imports to the U.S. Published every Thursday by Fairway Press, a division of Kitchenerâ€"Waterioo Record Ltd. 30 Queen St..

One has to concede they have a point, which brings us to the one we‘re trying to make. _Discrimination can be a subtle business as Black liberationists pointed out in recent years, noting how phrases such as "black mood" or "the powers of darkness"‘ infer a connecâ€" tion between evil and the color. Anyone who has helped themselves to potatoes from the large field on Northfield Drive at Northgate Road may have been disappointed at the results when they sat down to supper.

The real issue in Kitchenâ€" er‘s downtown redevelopâ€" ment controversy is not one of sentiment for the city hall and market building.

For this reason, Kitchenâ€" er‘s new market, if built, will survive even if the few remaining Mennonites and other real farmers withâ€" draw. However, if the real farmers decide they do want to start their own market, there is no reason why it cannot successfully compete with the slightlyâ€" disguised commercial enâ€" terprise which Kitchener will be left with.
