Don't Sell Yourself Short - at Today's Prices

Inflation and scientific’ advancement have
combined to increase the value of the one thing
dearest to all of us—our own human bodies,

We're now worth far more than many of us
would have guessed.

It used to be common knowledge that the
chemical value of the human body was 98 cents.
This was pretty deflating to some egos, But
inflation has come along to make them feel a bit
less put down,

The Chemical and Engineering News
reported. recently that, “at current chemical
prices, the adult human body is worth $3.50."

This was somewhat restorative to wounded
egos, even discounting inflation. But now there
is even better news,

An Economic Lesson

Once upon a time there was a Little Red
Hen who scratched about and uncovered some
grains of wheat. She called her barnyard
neighbors and said, “If we work together and
plant this wheat we will have some fine bread to
eat. Who will help me plant it?"

“Not I,” said the Cow. “Not I,” said the
Duck, “Not I,” said the Goose. “Then I will,”
said the Little Red Hen...and she did.

‘The wheat grew tall and ripened into
golden grain, “Who will help me reap the
wheat?” asked the Little Red Hen. “Not I,” said
the Duck. “Out of my classification,” said the
“Pig. “I'd lose my seniority,” said the Cow. “I'd
lose my unemployment insurance,” said the

OSE:

Then it came time to bake the bread.
“That's overtime for me,” said the Cow. “I'm a
dropout and never learned how,” said the Duck.
“I'd lose my welfare benefits,” said the Pig. “If
I'm the only one helping, that’s discrimination,”

Noteboom of the

said the Goose. “Then ! will,” said the Little Red .

Hen...and she did. She baked five loaves of fine
bread and held them up for her neighbors to see.
“I want some,” said the Cow. “I want some,”
said the Duck. “I want some," said the Pig. “!
demand my share,” said the Goose. “No,” said

University of Missouri at Columbia wrote to C &
EN taking issue with ils estimate. What C & EN
failed to feed into its computer, Dr. Noteboom
said, is the value of human scrum,

This serum, Indispensable in many medical
situations, is worth $190 to $170 per liter (1.08
quarts). One kind, known as type AB, retails for
$270 per liter. An adult male human contains
about five liters of blood, sourco of the precious,
lifesaving serum,

So this alone would be worth “an absolute
minimum of roughly $660." Add $650 to $3.50
and you get $653.50, presumably the rockbottom
value “at current prices."

This looks like a gain over the old 98-cent
price of something like 1,600 per cent.

So, don’t sell yourself short!

from a Little Red Hen

the Little Red Hen. “I can rest for a while and
eat the five loaves myself.”

“Excess profits,” cried the Cow. “Capital-
istic leech,” screamed the Duck. “Company
fink,” grunted the Pig. “Equal rights,” yelled the
Goose. And they hurriedly painted picket signs
and marched around the Little Red Hen singing,
“We shall overcome.” And they did.

For when the farmer came to

the commotion he said, “You must not be
greedy, Little Red Hen. Look at the Oppressed
Cow. Look at the Disadvantaged Duck. Look at
the Underprivileged Pig. Look at the Less
Fortunate Goose. You are guilty of making
second-class citizens of them.” “But...but...J
earned the bread,” said the Little Red Hen.
“Exactly,” the wise farmer said. “That is
the wonderful free enterprise system; anybody
in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants.
You should be happy to have this freedom. In
other barnyards, you would have to give all five
loaves to the farmer. Here you give four to
suffering neighbors and keep one for yourself.”
And they all lived happily ever after,
including the Little Red Hen, who smiled and
clucked, “I am grateful.” But her neighbors
wondered why she never baked any more
bread. — Canadian }

consumer is given a range of
prices, style, quality and

Theré was a distinctly
red-neck flavor to much of the
debate emanating from the
Socred benches this’ session.
Sheer volume of sound and
duration and speeches, laced
with invective and innuendo in
much greater measure than is
usual even for this unruly
chamber, seemed to be the
order for each and every day.

Of course, Barrett's al-
legedly more humane working
hours with a nominal 11 p.m.
deadline (which incidentally
was exceeded on several
occasions by up to one hour)
turned out, with more than
three weeks of morning, after-
noon and evening sittings, to be
infinitely worse than any
workload for MLAs his pre-
decessor had contrived.

And that didn't make the
opposition’s task any easier.

The NDP functioned much
as expected. The cabinet rep-
resents a tough, disciplined
cadre of parliamentary vet-
erans—only Norman Levi and
Bill King had less than two
sessions under their belts
before the NDP became gov-
ernment last fall—with a loaded
backbench which shows some
excellent promise.

Since all of the government
backbenchers are rookie MLAs,
this first full session was a time
of orientation. But there were
signs, even at this early stage,
that the caucus was making its
views felt to a degree unheard
of in the Bennett era.

Several NDP members
have admitted they came to
this session frankly apprehen-
sive that the cabinet would be
too conservative in its legisla-
