I The number of women who take up this sort of , ‘ gambling is extremely few. One of the rare times that we noticed a female in the vicinity of one of it these "joints" was when she was employed as a 2,. clown to play a little tune among the flowers on a if small portable drum and bell worn around her neck. it I think she was supposed to attract customers! it As for sightseeing in Sapporo. there are more j churches than Shinto and Buddhist shrines 01' l temples! But what Sapporo lacks in tradition : is more than compensated for by the beauti- ful surrounding scenery. Instead of rice pad- dies, the rolling farmland consists of large vege- table fields and grazing pastures which actually remind me of Canuck-land! No wonder I loved the place! And even the Rockies would have a tough time competing with the mountains of Hokkaido which rise suddenly just outside of Sapporo. So it 1 was. that most of the five days we stayed there, were spent taking extended day-long sightseeing trips to ,‘ some of the more famous mountains and lakes. We mostly travelled on buses which are quite something with their extra seats that fold down into the aisle space from the arm of each chair to which they are attached. Naturally our guides spoke nothing but Japanese and we were quite enter- tained by the traditional songs they would sing which were either characteristic of the region we were visiting, or else were designed to take our minds off of the narrow, treacherous road that was still in its early stages of construction (the country route â€" bump, bump!) and dropped straight down at the edge with no guard rail for protection ~â€" gulp! Nonetheless, our fear was soon forgotten (ha. ha) since the people of Hokkaido are extremely kind . to strangers and we were well looked after, especially by the numerous student hikers who are more than willing to struggle with the English they have studied in university. In fact, I’m beginning to think the Japanese are the original Swiss with their hiking boots, woolly knee socks, shorts, and alpine hats! Oh well, 't is by far the cheapest way to travel and you can pitch your tent almost anywhere. We even saw one group who camped right outside Sapporo's train station! Or if you are not lucky enough to have a tent, just spread yourself out on , newspapers on the floor inside the station. i It’s called “roughing it". Considering the fact that we were staying in a hotel, it is no wonder that our campus friends were surprised to meet us on top of a volcano that we climbed the hard way â€"- with nimble feet and elbow grease! Whew, I could hardly climb down because of the shock of all that exercise! Thank goodness when two days later we were able to view the sheer cliffs of the seacoast more leisurely from the bow of a fishing boat. All in all, our visit to the northernmost island of Japan was most enjoyable but, as usual, we were on the move once again. Yawn . . . we would have to choose a train that left at seven thirty in the morning! Normally, it is difficult to find a place that serves breakfast at that hour, but in Japan the priflflem is easily solved. Before you board the train, visit the nearest platform food stand Where it is possible to purchase hard cooked eggs, cheese, milk, bread, tangerines, and even dried cuttle fish (if you should be so inclined!). Presto -â€" instant breakfast on the train. Our destination was a sixteen-hour journey to Sendai which is‘north of Tokyo, and thus it was fortunate that the trip was broken by a four-hour ferry ride across to the central island of Honshu. Then back to another six hours on the train which was really a priceless experience. Every time we stopped at a station, a little man selling beverages and boxed dinners of rice. seaweed, and fish would come to the window. At first girls were also selling food on the train, but they later gave this up as people began to stretch themselves out in the aisle I to have a snooze. l ( I l l 1 I 1 1 .1 ,7 1‘ U uqu u uuuuuuuu To explain, the train was going all the way to Tokyo and for those who didn’t have a reserved seat, it would be a long night to stand until five o’clock in the mominglr -. _ .. 1‘ uvsvvn 4a: vuu u.v..-...°. Fortunately, though, my friend and I reached Sendai at eleven at night and soon had a real bed in which to rest our weary bones â€"â€" quite a switch from sleeping on a futon or sleeping mat laid on the floor! Like Sapporo, Sendai’s wide streets are quite amazing (it was levelled during" World War II and had to be completely rebuilt), but this timelthere was no mistake that we were in Japan. A shrine was even located right in; the middle of the main shopping mall; convenient if you wished to pray on your way to work! Actually. our main purpose in coming to Sendai was to view Matsushima, a group of many coastal islands which is supposed to form one of the three most beautiful spots in Japan. In addifibfi io'this, we visiteglâ€"a volcanigmqunâ€" tam range called the Zao Echo lung. No. thlg tlme Luau Lucio v"..-â€" .mh, we didn’t go climbing rocks! Rather we took the easy route along a spectacular road that ran to the ear pOpping height of 5,500 feet and terminated at the edge of a crater lake. Our guide was really sweet after she got over the shock of having a couple of gaigins (foreigners) on her tour, and the rest of the bus passengers were forever making sure that we saw everything and did_ not get_ lost. As for the city of Sendai, our best sightseeing was done,simply by wandering on our own. It is a town of surprises, especially when one visits the mini “Ginza” which is nicknamed after the famous shopping street in Tokyo. In particular, I wish I could have seen our faces when a student came up to us and began to speak fluent French! All this time I thought we were in Japan!? And if this wasn’t unexpected enough, the next evening we were look- ing for a place to have dinner and accidentally walked into a Japanese beer hall! Naturally, every- one was sitting on the tatami floor at low tables as they ate and drank their beer. The regular stage entertainment consisted of traditional singing and music to which anyone could get up and follow the nearest hostess in an odori (folk) dance around the floor. Intermingled with this, we had the singular treat of listening to the amateur talent which found its way from the drink- ing table to the stage. I must say the local singing occasionally was rather painful to the earS! Yet it was also very humerous when a group of older women who were out for a night on the town in- sisted on displaying their knowledge 01‘ music and asked us to join them! And to top everything, the man sitting next to us challenged my friend and I to a beer drinking contest to see whether Japanese or Canadians were stronger! I believe Japan won since I am not all that partial to large quantities of Nonetheless, all these once in a lifetime exper- iences are in the past and we are now on a train which will take us to Tokyo. From there we shall go to the airport and have a. short visit with a friend before saying “sayonara” to the “Land of the Rising Sun". It is sad that we must bid farewell to the country that has treated us so marvelously. but I hope it will not be goodbye forever. After all, we have been invited to return many times! beer!

The mediator had in effect said “take it or leave it". if they didn't take it he was going to pack up and return to Toronto. He'd had enough. The cabinet would line had egg all over its face if it re- fused to accept the proposals for settlement put forward by the mediator they had brought in. Particularly bad they would have looked too because the postal union had swallowed some of its demands and de- cided to go along with the mediator’s suggestions. If the cabinet said “no” and the strike continued into the winter the public would have been heart- ily fed up and disgruntled. Knowing this the cabinet de- cided it had better swallow its pride. stop "huffing and puff- ing" about six percent guide- lines and accept the settlement plan. --._--_.L lâ€" Postal Settlement May Set Costly‘ Federal Wage Pattern For Future counting the cost \rvu ...... It would have been better off to have aCCepted the prog posals put forward last May of Judge Lippe the conclliator. It had rejected that report. Ottawa for some time made it clear that it was not going to reach a settlement with the postal unions because to settle on the postal workers' terms would mean a breach of the six percent guideline. The gov- ernment pointed out it is en- gaged in an all-out war against inflation and will settle with its workers only on a scale that does not encourage inflationary pressures. It all sounded very commen- dable and was tough talk. The postal workers were incensedl that they had been singled out as the “guinea pigs" to ensure that the six percent ceiling on wage raises was not broken. Now suddenly Ottawa has set- tled and settled at a level that is above six percent. Soon after the settlement was reached Trudeau Adminis-l tration spokesmen were ex- plaining glibly that it really was not much of a break- through of the six percent ceil- ing. They pointed out the per- centage increase in wages was only 6.8 percent. However ac- cording to the postal workers‘ figures the increase was 7.2 percent over the 2% years of the contract. “u, \-v. . Neither percentage figure takes into account the fringe benefits on which no estimated value has been set. One of the largest government conces- sions is to pay overtime to letter carriers each day they work more than eight hours. rather than paying overtime for each week in which they work ‘more than 40 hours. The gov- ernment had argued that the weekly averaging was neces- sary to level out the peaks and valleys created by fluctuations in mail volume. This conces- sion will cost about $1.2 mil- Ilion a year. Another major concession that surprisingly the cabinet has finally agreed to go along with was to pay one half the cost of medicare premiums in any lprovince that collects them. notably Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. At pres- ent rates it will cost the treas- ury about $500,000 for postal Lworkers. But think of the implications. Now the government will have to make the same con- cession for all federal employ- ees. The cost of this has not been totalled at this writing. It lwm be very high. -.u,1 333w the government is wxu u» -v-., "V, The government had balked at this concession and also wanted the contract to be 32 months long.

He was praised for his ten- acity and blunt talk. He fin- ally went to the government representatives with the agree- ment he had been‘able to hammer out. When the cabin- et hemmed and hawed and sug- gested he go back and talk some more because they did not want a 30 month contract they wanted 32 months and they did not want to pay half the cost of medicare premiums. He was blunt in his reaction. The government knew that if Mr. O'Connor walked out and went back to Toronto it would be in deep trouble so it flnally grabbed at the agree- ment he was offering them. It could have got a better agree- ment last spring. Now Treasury Board Chair- man Charles Drury wants am- endments to the legislation passed by the Lester Pearson Government which gave the civil servants the right to strike. Mr. Drury thinks that if public servants walk off the ‘jobs in "rotating" strikes as did the postal workers the fed- eral government should be en- titled to impose lockouts. G. W. Baldwin. official 0p- position House Leader. the Pro- gressive Conservative MP from Peace River, wants a select committee of the Commons set. up to study the Public Service |Staff Relations Act. .passed in 1967. He said that Act was passed too hurriedly and with- out sufficient information as to its impact on public services. There may be even second thoughts about the right to strike among essential services in the civil service. 7 Big question is what are the essential services?
