and set them off on their various tang ents you would have a very interesting sorapbook of the manias that people indulge in in order to satisfy their own minds and attract attention there was the flagpole sitter fad where everyone started at the top in their chosen field and stayed there as kng as passible there was a time when almost every public square had its flagpole sitter a few years ago we had the university students who devel oped a mania for fish what is interesting fcout tvtls mani3 is the fact that they liked them raw and the didnt neessarily wait till friday at the drop of the hat theyd dig into your goldfish bowl and gulp down the hatch with your guppies as a young gaffer at home i remember reading about the marathon dancers who plodded around on each others toes for days and nights on end until they collapsed in each others arms all of this for headlines and a few extra dollars when i think of the sweet young things who have carried me around the floor on their toes for noth ing i shudder everyone tried to fly the at lantic and finally lucky lindy made it and nothing more was heard of this mania until doug las corrigan came along with his famous wrong way flight you dont have to go back too far in your imagination to re call the bobby sox era when females young and old were swooning over frank sinatra and tearing his clothes to shreds every time he came out of the stage door how he loved it along the same lines more rec ently the liberace craze more recently we have the marathon piano players who hammer their knuckles into their wrists in an effort to make their name in history a few- months ago we had the rock- athon aid everyone spent days and nights on their verandahs doing what grandmothers and grandfathers have done the world over for generations xow we have the long dis tance swimmers every stretch of water wider than the family bathtub has been crossed by a leather lunged iron armed swimmer the channel between england and france has so many swimmers in the water that the excursion boat trade has fallen to practically noth ing at atlantic city instead of walking around the black they swim around the island better than 20 miles marilyn bell made history by being the first to swim lake ontario and now dozens of others are break ing their necks for a similar opportunity at the unenviable job more recently the lady of the lake became the youngest to swim the english channel several have swam across tepid lake erie just to escape the customs bert thomas crossed the straits of juan de fuca be cause it challenged him he said he would keep on until he either succeeded or became a blubbering idiot fortunately he succeeded finally the last but far from the least we presume an ar- gentenian decided to establish an alltime endurance record by hopping into the mississippi river at st louis and heading south down stream for the gulf of mexico 6 hours 17 minutes later he was thorough ly cleaned and fagged and he crawled ashore after having swam 221 miles in 1952 the same man swam 262 miles in 72 hours hell be back next year to try for 300 miles he says what a way to make a living v 8i follow fee crowds for- the buy

reeded j 2000 in british columbia 15000 in the prairies yvo n ontario and 3000 a quebec ana the maritime- most of the 25000 will be em ployed at only peaktime per- jiods and most will be recruited from the districts n which they are needed agriculture officials in the west say about the same num ber of harvesters will be bro ught in from the east as last year saskatchewan expects to need co and alberta about s00 in saskatchewan where spring flooding this year hed wheat seeding to 132s1o0o acres the lowest since 1914 about 10000 extra workers will be needed to work on the provinces 100- 000 farms most of them will be recruited from saskatchewan despite the spring flooding generally adequate moisture and a warm summer have com bined to rapidly mature what appears to be a good crop de partment of agriculture officials said- harvesting will be late in many districts farmers already have hired about 200 men from the- fast the saskatchewan department says there has been a trend du ring the last few years for farmers to take on their extra help early to ensure they have the labor around when they need it pay for the western harvest ers is about 125 a month plus a bonus of 3 to so a day when the harvest is under way com bine operators earn from s10 to 15 a day most of the eastern harvest ers come on the annual excur sion train the fare is si 150 to gel to the west and 15 to return albertas crop acreage is up to 15467000 compared with last years 14185000 wheat acreage is down two percent from last season and rye 19 pet- cent but oats and barley are 10 and 20 percent greater the department of agriculture says the department estimated that about 12 percent more rye will be needed from the east than last years 700 most of them came from ontario the total harvest force in alberta is expected to be be tween 2500 and 3500 wages will run about 7 a day and up but some farmers may offer as low as 650 manitoba farmers report a good crop but say they can han- j die most of at themselves and with local help they expect to hire only a few easterners british columbia agriculture officials expect a late crop be cause of the abnormally cool spring strawberries for which several hundred workers usual ly are imported fomthe pairies were down aibout 50 percent this year and only 200 were em ployed a bumper apple crop in the okanagan valley is expected to provide employment for sever al thousand pickers this fall wages are up about the same as last year about 2000 workers will be needed from outside the province exceptionally dry summer weather in ontario cut the need for a good part of the extra help usually hired in august the dry conditions made it pos sible for farmers and their fam ilies to work day after day without interruption the fruit crop earlier some what damaged by hurricanes is expected to be about average and should produce a big need for workers agriculture offi cials say employment officials expect the rhajd y will be stu dents and adult vacationers vacancies exist in the tobac co areas but none of the crop has been lost because of the shortage the quebec government does not compile statistics on agri culture and farm employment and no accurate estimate of the temporary labor help needed is available however a department of ag riculture official said crops are good this year and the yield is expected to be about the same as last year the yields rf po tatoes sweet corn and tomatoes are expected to be up over last year and there are prospects of a bumper apple crop a good apple crop also is forecast for nova scotia the yield this year should be about 3500000 bushels about 700 to s00 extra pickers will be re quired but all are expected to come from inde the province most of those hired are off-sea- son fishermen and unemploy ment in the coal mines has fill ed the iabor market xewfoundiard reports no ex tra labor will be needed for its harvest the only hiring done is for a few days when retired or
