KALNINS ON . .. LEFTOVER NOTES Newspaper columnists these dàys have made it. They have more material than they can digest. For instance, I have at least ten different subjects to choose from every week before I start putting my ideas into print. This means that I'm left with so-called "leftover notes" - information that is valuable but of no great inportance. So, here we go. Last week I tried to change a five-dollar bill at the Sheridan Mall. It was quite an ordeal. I visited about six different stores, including K-Mart, just to be told: "Sorry, we don't have enough change. Try next door". The time was about ten o'clock in the morning. I wonder how they would handle cash late in the after- noon when the mail is buzzing with Christmas shoppers. I preclude that store owners are not really interested to attract would-be customers, though poor as some of them might-be. The word is out: the Sunshine girls in Toronto are starting to look more like "moonshine" girls. Sun's Executive Editor, Peter Worthington, is not happy about the picture quality of the popular daily feature. He says that Sunshine Girls have "gone to pot" ..... or hell" thus attaching the blame to staff photographers. No comment. Christmas office parties are fun, but I like the nodest "thanks people" party by Sunday Sun editor Alan Edmonds, on behalf of himself and Sunday Sun Sykes. And, incidentally, the invitation was als, apropos. It read: >e&"We hope to have enough booz ' to quench everyone's thirst, but if you are thirstier thin usual ..'. Well, I guessed, the message was quite clear: bring your own booze. Paul Rinistead is no longer talking to me. Either he's too busy beating drums at Saphyre or mad about the things I wrote recently in this column, expounding on. Rimstead's never-ending talents. Some readers say that I deliberately "downgraded" the old Rimmer himself while others claim that I made him look like King Tuk, The truth of the matter, however, is: Rimstead is Rimstead This week I went to Whitevale, North Pickering, to be greeted by a barrage of anti-Davis signs. You might have heard that Premier William Davis intends to go ahead with the proposed satellite city, called Ceader- wood. The implementation of the Government project would mean. a death warrant for a number of smaller hamlets near Brougham. One sign, I particularly found amusing, read: "The Ceaderwood Prayer: Dear God, Don't Let Davis Pave Us". Vija Lazdins, a ravishing Latvian beauty, has some interesting ideas on pornography. She thinks the days of "dirty old men" are over. More women will watch blue movies, including pornographic presentations. She reasons: "Women are getting more curious about sexual activities. And, why not? It takes two to derive pleasure from the sex". Yeah! Weil put Vija. Crooks will become quite respectable citizens in New York City. -Even felons will get "Mr." treatment by the New York Times. A.M. Rosenthal, managing editor of NYT, proclaimed in a memorandum to the newsroom staff that the paper "will no longer omit the "Mr." before the names of those who have been convicted of a crime or who have unsavory reputations known to be deserved". Under the old practice, he noted, the paper had run into the problem of "appearing to make social and political judgements about different types of crimes." However, an exception might be made in particularly gruesome cases. BEST WISHES Bright greetings from us are heading your way. Happy holidays. BOWMAN & GIBSON LU. GNL.
