Waterioo $12.95 $10.95 $10.95 I think we‘ll all agree that there is nothing quite so downright miserable and annoying as the person who deâ€" lights in saying "I told you so." Certainly, all married men will agree with me. Most of us know perfectly well that we are poor little lambs who have lost our way, that we have feet of clay and bones for brains. But we hate being reminded of it. â€" It seems to me that there is nothing more redundant than to wake up with a hangover, mouth full of the botâ€" tom of a birdcage, head full of porcupine quills, and have a smirking, selfâ€"satisfied voice grating ‘"Well, I warned you, but you wouldn‘t listen to me."‘ Who needs it? Who needs a postâ€"mortem, when he is still alive, though barely? I speak not from experience, of course, but from hearsay. Not admissible in court. It must have been a couple of years ago, when I warnâ€" ed, in no uncertain terms, that the rest of us were going to be picking up the tabs for Napoleon Drapeau‘s belief that he is really a reincarnation of the infamous emâ€" peror. After that preargble, I have to admit that 1 told you so. I told the whole nation so. But nobody listened . Or maybe it‘s Caesar he thinks he is. Certainly he is giving us members of the populace bread and circuses, as Caesar did. Mighty light on the bread and heavy on the circuses. I said it right here, in black and white, that the mayor of Montreal was going to take us for a fast buggyâ€"ride, when he got the Olympic Games. For Canada? Don‘t be silly. For Montreal. The handwriting is now on the wall, loud and clear. And as fast as M. Drapeau rubs it off, or licks it off with his eloquent labial organ, it appears. It seems inevitable that you and me, sistern and brethren, are going to be picking up a big, fat tab for the 1976 Montreal Games. And games is the word, if the Olympics consist of running in everâ€"decreasing circles until you disappear up your own youâ€"knowâ€"what. | Let‘s not blame it on the construction strikes in Monâ€" treal. Let‘s not blame it on inflation. Let‘s blame the $300 million dollar deficit (and who knows how much more?), on the delusions of grandeur of the rolyiestâ€" polyiest con man since P.T. Barnum made that immorâ€" tal statement: ‘*Never give a sucker an even break."‘ Hank Bourassa of Quebec and Pete Trudeau of Ottawa knew they were dealing with a greased eel when they tangled with Drapeau, but all they did was make polite political noises, assuring the suckers that it wasn‘t going to cost more than maybe seven cents each to put on this extravagorama. Some of us, those possessing the gift, and a memory, knew perfectly well that we were going to be reamed like an old pipe, but they wouldn‘t listen. _ My severest critic of my point of view is not my wife, as is most often the case. She thinks the Games are something the teenagers play down at the Olympia restaurant. The only connection‘is that the proprietors of the Olympia are Greek. Oh, well, what the hell. A prophet is without honor in his own country. You in your small corner, and I in mine. No, my chief opposition comes from my assistant deâ€" partment head, which only confirms my longâ€"held view that she is bigoted, thickâ€"headed, disloyal to her chief, and a lousy shuffleboard player. Well, she‘s all wet, in which she wouldn‘t weigh 85 pounds, soaking. Her argument goes like this: ‘"The Olympic Games are for all of Canada. Why shouldn‘t all Canadians help pay for them?" Nobody asked me if I wanted the stupid Olympic Farce in Canada. And even though I wasn‘t asked, I said NO By me, the Olympic Games consist of someone proving that he or she can do something completely useless better than anyone else. ® _ If Mayor Drapeau had shown any desire to clean up KITCHENER 1334 Weber St. East.

He‘s not interested. He wants coliseums, palaces, and probably wouldn‘t object to a few graven images of himself scattered about the city. _ Are you interested in learning something about the earliest Christian art, getting an ideal of the techâ€" niques of trading on the stock market or taking an imaginary trip to Spain? If so, the new series of free public interest lectures at Wilfrid Laurier University should be of interest. . Did you notice that when the Olympic Committee was on the edge of the abyss, looking into it, there wasn‘t exactly a scramble among the world‘s nations to pick up the tab? _ $ â€" The only tentative offer was from the Arab swingers, who are in similar circumstances to the old lady who livâ€" ed in a shoe. They have so many barrels they d don‘t know what to do. Admitted, barrels are better than chilâ€" dren these days, but there‘s a limit. + Say. Pardon me for a moment. Just had a thought. Those Arabs are buying up practically anything these days. Wonder if they‘d be interested in some fine moose pasture I own up north. Used to be called mining stocks.
