The Herald me thing funny says the lady in Sudbury she pens some complaints about the dreary handed news coming nut of Okay Ma m lei see what we have here How about story n the RCMP Thorn must bo something Tunny In allegations that the Mountlea main file was sensitive It bo to cither the prime minister or the solicitor general Intact Montreal timet quote former officers as saying lhat the number of government who would normally gain access to the file were very being studied and at best were unreliable Don like be the prime minister down I either Well about the one Involving ihe of confidential Information from ihe revenue Then must ben giggle In the fact lhat two Toronto were able apparently through one Individual to get r malum from I tit tux turns of three people including Conservative Leader Joe Clark Considering all the fuss the depart menl makes about secrecy there should at least be a smile in Ihe fact that this information seems to be available by tele phone Ho ho But if you arc really dour and difficult to please you might be forced to look into the post office before you get full belly laugh And after hearing all those serious denials from Postmaster Gencrol Jean Jacques Wall who could resist breaking up over that disclosure of employees helped Intercept and presumably open private mail for more years Pcrsomlly I found this particularly amusing because I used to worry about having friend mail my lax returns I would halo to think that he snoop lo sec Just how poor I am before the returns reached the confines of the past and River niacin Utile did I know that two depart were probably bidding on publication rights Again ho bo ho Oh yes Ma am Oltawa is chock a block with funnies these You did hear you about the of lhat bugging found In lhe office

Canada we like variely in our comedy In the United States is tendency to concentrate on one issue until it doesn seem funny anymore but here wo just roll out one act after another I suppose you heard lhat the Social Credit Party had drummed out MP Rondeau just because he has been convicted of tax evasion and still faces an arson charge and fraud charges That takes your mind off the t If Then there Is the case of the post office refusing to let the Canadian Union of Postal Workers put newspaper clippings on the union bulletin board think takes your mind off the opening of mall over the last years But for a grand finale I think you will agree that we have pulled out all stops to bring you real class comedy and I refer of course to that IIS million give or take a fortune lhat Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd paid to an agent to help sell a nuclear reactor to South Korea This apparently Included a S3 million advance on expenses which by my calculation should permit the agent to take a contact out to a decent lunch What I particularly liked about this story was statement by Chairman Ross Campbell the agent has so far submitted for Ha obviously has difficulty getting restaurant receipts But what really struck me funny about the million expense advance was that this money could heat Canadian homes this Ho ho ho Ten suggestions for mankind or how the Creator views us By GERRY Christmastime

Leader won his party convention he was an overnight here Nothing much but good was said about htm And bo There was a sudden drastic change There began a wave of criticism And this has more or less continued ever since QUICK CHANGE But now the supersensitivity of the press has turned oh probably the most unlikely person one could conceive Seldom In memory has a member here been given the complimentary reception Jack received when he was named Speaker And leading the laudes were the media Its members find enough that was good to say about ihe popular then New Democratic Party member from the north But then there was a tempest in a coffee cup And the game changed When Mr Stokes took over as Speaker he moved in some slight directions to improve the dignily as well as the decorum of the House One of the steps he took was an edict that members no longer should drink coffee at their desks In the chamber One afternoon a gallery member una ware of the new ruling was sitting at his place In the House with a plastic cup of coffee In front of him An attendant came up and told him to The gallery member one of the more bellicose of our gentry told the attendant to tell Mr Speaker that he objected to his ruling and used language not used in family newspapers The attendant informed Mr Speaker who then Interrupted the proceedings noted the incident that the member had acted profanely that press gallery members were governed by the rules of decorum along with everyone else and that If the member didn t want to abide by ihem he could either remove himself or be ejected Was
