I ONCE KNEW A THIN sociologist who believed that people were obsessed by food only when they were chroni- cally hungry. If there were enough food easily available, he reasoned, humanity - wouldn't be worrying about the berries and the beasties, They would be free to contemplate higher things, like the Meaning of Life or the Civil Service Reform Act. Even . Freud described “oral” as a stage that adults (and perhaps cultures) would grow out of, with no more than an occasional regression for, say, weddings or Thanksgiving. BUT TODAY WE LIVE in a country where most of us are on demand feeding. The would lend to such ‘and therefore give the board a more effective lever for forcing the provincial government to acknowledge the opnion of he region's voters on the proposed diver- sion. Such pressures should not be almed solely at the present government. Despite the opposition of New Democrat MLAs In the area to the diversion, the Interests of Central Kootenay communities affected by the Columbia River Treaty are not a high priority for B.C.'s opposition party. In fact, given the NDP’s preoccupation with the threatened flooding of tne Skagit Valley, It Is debatable whether a New Democrat govern- ment would be playing any less of a poker game with U.S. power authoritles than is the present government. While awalt a average A ican doesn't have to stalk the wild hamburger o; go out gathering ice eream in the woods. There is less energy that we absolutely “must” devote to food, But it seems that much of the time we used to spend on the basic problem of food — getting enough — has simply been transferred to the more elaborate food problems. THE OTHER DAY I read not only’ Julia Child's 1 new k but an Food’s Not Fuel, But a Creature Comfort —We’re All Obsessed with What We Eat “That's right .. he wants one mitiion tons of bread loaves...over...’ more followers every year. They are the “gourmet food” culture, and the “health food” culture. On one level, these two food “regimens” seem wildly disparate. Gourmet food is a response to our fantasies about what tastes good, while health food is a response to our fears about what's bad for you. as alternative menus intriguing group of articles in the latest Psychology Today magazine on the new food consciousness.

And although the RDCK has been denied the authority to conduct a Kootenay Diversion poll, the board should be quick to Inform Premler Bill Bennett, currently responsible tor B.C. Hydro, of the results from both the Save the Kootenay Committee plebiscite conducted this week and the constituency survey conducted earlier by Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco. But In the event the definitive environ- mental Impact study released next year by B.C. Hydro shows Implementation of the Project would bring negligible benefits and overwhelming costs to ADCK residents, It is important that the directors have the proper machinery In place and promptly circulate the Information necessary to enable voters to make that serious, well-Informed decision division proponents say they may not be capable of at this time. The whole process will be slower than some RDCK directors had hoped, but perhaps the region's voters will be taken more seriously.

YET I THINK THEY have more in common that meets the mouth. The most extreme devotees of both the sensible Julia Child and late Adelle Davis demonstrate, at times, a moral elitism that is both righteous and intimi- dating.

NEEDHAM (From columns in the Tor- onto Globe and Mail.) The solution for Canada's postal problem is simple — so simple that there's absolutely no chance it will ever be adopt- ed. (1) Give the existing Post Office to the postal unions — lock, stock and barrel. If they run it at a profit, good for them; if they run it’ at a loss, that's their problem. (2) Allow pri- vate enterprise (Ma Bell, United Parcel, CP Express) to provide any and all of the services which the existing Post Office provides — or, I should say doesn't provide. . * If you want to know what men, especially married men, are really like, consult an attractive woman who was re- cently widowed, or divorced, or matter, the to secure the most apprepriate nea conven- ent medium to advertise his or her product. In urgipg members to Ignore an available medium In the absence of the city’s two dailles, the board executive ts asking them to forego that right. If the current dispute Is not resolved In the near future and the board's executive follows its present line of reasoning, we can next expect it to tell members not to advertise In the vartous suburban new: papers serving the Greater Vancouver ar because they too are benefiting ‘‘unfalrly. After that, who knows? Perhaps the Vancouver Board of Trade will start telling its members what, as well as where, to advertise. = - « When the Trudeau govern- ment reconsiders capital pun- ishment, it doesn't mean ‘the noose is just around the corner. All it mearis is that a federal election is just around the’ corner. * *# « Considering how difficult it is to get through just one day, it's amazing that so many of us manage to get through a life- time. - 2 6 When I ride a cab with a notice that says “Thank you for not smoking,” I feel like re- placing it with one that says, “Thank you for not tipping.” . 8 What's the best weapon with which to rule men? Josef Stalin and Charles de Gaulle had an argument about that once, with the Russian leader saying it was fear, and the French leader saying it was ambition. Both, I think were tight. For the mass of men it's ambition that keeps them in line — the desire for money, power, fame. There's a residue for whom ambition doesn’t work; and that residue has to be ruled with,a rod of iron, a deep fear of the authorities; otherwise it will destroy the nation that harbors it. . . Decision always beats in- decision, If you make the right move, you're ahead of your indecisive rival. If you make the wrong one, you're still ahead-at him; while he was waiting, yau found out something you need: ed to know, A smart man, if he were honest-to boot, would tel} you that he learned much more from his wrong. moves than from his right ones.
