COPYRIGHT'1976 TORONTO - It. is expected that the surnuer Olympics in Montreal will produce the biggest invasion oi intelligence and security personnel froin arouind the wvorld to guard the VIP's during the Olympie Carnes. 1 was told recently by a security man ini Ottawa. Cioser to home, 1 have learned that the Metro Toronto Police ETF unit wili be involved in security meiasures, designed for VIP's who wîll stay in Toronto during the Olympics but will commute between Toronto and Montreal on regular basis. At the present timie, a number of Metro police officets g -utdé g1tng "ahlgWhly secret tralnlng program with spdofftl enptai on Înternational tortorlsm and how to cope wiltb 4.

Tht', likcly targets for such terrorist actions are three major downtown hotels, the Union Station, foreign embassios arnd the Toronto International Airport- the miost vuinerable target of thern aIl. The first security measures are already underway at the airport, the Free Press has learned. At this stage, the security activity can be observed only by those who fly often enough in and ouit of Malton. Passenger screening is muchel more thorough now than it was three months ago-the last tirne 1 boarded a plane for the United Sta tes. One airport officiai told me thîs week: "As we get dloser to the opening day of the Montreal Olympic games, the security measures at this airport (Malton) will definitely increase. Already, a number of new screening proceritures have gone into effect". The bulk of intelligence people will corne frorn the Ulnited States.

To niany other terrOU! a san international hero, but police forces arot'd the world- Carlos is the most wanted fugitive. One FBI agent who is no longer in this country has this to say about the security aspects: "Many of our men will be -assigned to provide the best security there is for our VIP's, but 1 suspect a nurnber of agents will take time out for soi-e intelligence work. The information obtaîned here in Canada could be of great value, knowing in advance that the Olympie gamnes have already attracted subversive elements"'. 1This off-the-cuff remark from a man who should know what he's talking about unmistakeably hints to the cloak- and-dagger activities which one day will make newspaper ie adline s. Anyonc who very condcsccndingly reniarkLs that animais are dumb obviously isn't Iooking at the situation in the right perspective. 1 ask you, whcn vas the last timne you saw an animal in the supernmarket giving away his entire wcek's salary at the chcckout'? Animais are so0 dumb that ail thcy have to do is laze around the house and, in between cat or dog naps and visits to the fccd bowl, they wiil sidie up to you iooking for and usualîy gctting a scratch bchind the cars or a stroke on the tummy. These same dumib animaIs are so stupid that, of course, they can't watch television. Oh sure, sornetimes they know that, on a coid winter's day, the top of the tv is a great warmi place on whichi to slcep but other than that it's jlust a box that makes noises and pictures. Consequcntly, they don't get ton excited about watching a hutndred different cop shiows - girl cops, guy cops, macho cops, twin cops, retircd cops, oid cops, fat cops, crooked cops, and on ad nauscumn. And, of course, after a hard day's work, which they also don't do, these saine dumb animais don't have to jamn thernselves into sortie kind of public transit system to get home. Nor do thcy have to sit down ta supper and read about the latest government budget that will depiete their pocket books even more. 1 doubt if dumb animais even watch the il p.rn. news to find out about ail the murder and nayhern that mnay be going on in the next block even while the nèws is being telecast. And, of course, the thing that really bugs me about durnb animais is that they aren't even smart enough to start wars. Evcrybody knows wars are very uecessary t'or the econorny and they also help control the population. Sure, certain kinds of pets don't get along with each other and neyer will but thcy' also don'. go to parties and pretPr'J they like each other while verbally stabbing each other in the backs ini private conversations in the corner. l'n otten ainazed at how animais can find a soft spot in the green grass instead of going out and spending a few hours and a couple of hundred bucks buying matching patio furniture that falis apart if ieft.in the sun and rusts if lcft in the rain. Even though we cal them monkey suits, I've neyer seen a monkey or any other animal wear one while having to attend a wedding, funeral or divorce trial. Nor have 1 seen a turtle wearing one of those itchy, neckrubbing sweaters to an apres ski party. How much respect can you muster for animnals when, all things considered, they can't even be drafted? They also can't prove they're of'legal age to be aliowed into a pub so as to drink themselves into such a stupor that they go out, wreck 'their car and likely somneone cîses and wind up spending the night in the drunk tank with a few other creatures that act, as we're wont to say - "like animals". V've often wondered why animnaîs aren't smart enough to have some kind of national. leader that, on occasion, would stand up at a large meeting, stroke his whiskers and yelI, "Oh, fiiddle, duddie!" They also haven't figured out that they shouid have a deity to pr ay to when the things go badly but ta forge t about during the good times. Yeah, one thing we have to say about animaîs - they're dumnb! AU we can do is feed them, shelter them and love themn while trying flot ta feel too sorry for them. And the next time s'omebody calîs at your house and remnarks, "Oh my, what a lovely pet you have!", try to control yourself from replying "Humpphh!, if the truth were known. l' m the pet and theý pet is reaily the master! ". After ail, it wouidn't sound right, everybody knows animais are dumnb - especiaiiy if it's a house pet. Pssst!, 1 should be so dumb!
