nowadays, teachers get much higher salaries in comparison than
then, though...

Of course, nowadays they have to provide classroom materials,
take out gobs of life insurance, and so on.

Your teachers are still grossly underpaid! When Roslind graduated
Yellowknife had 10 applicants for every vacancy without advertising
and so did my home town in Ontario. But Americans were sending
recruiters to campus who lied their heads off about how pleasant

That's what recruiters do. Carol and I once went to a
restaurant in Paris right near Notre-Dame called Le Sergent
Recruteur, which was supposed to simulate the experience of
18th-century French naval shanghaiing, except for the
kidnapping part. You go into this low tavern, where comely
girls in wenchly dress put lots of beer and wine in front
of you, followed by breads, crudites, harcuterie, cheeses,
and the main course of your choice - I had duck, which was
terrible, and I had to drink extra to get the taste out of
my mouth, which might have been the intent. In the olden
days the plan was to lure young able-bodied men into such
places, feed and quench them into unconsciousness, and next
thing they knew they were in the brig and far at sea. One
might suspect, with the buxom French girls, that one might
wake up with a lacy hanky next to one's face but smelling of
chloroform instead of perfume, missing a kidney. As it was,
at the end of the meal we tottered out relieved only of the
relatively harmless sum of E45 each (120 or so in 2018 dollars).

their cities were, Case in point Detroit offered her $30,000 and told
her their city was a vibrant cultural centre with a low crime rate.

Hah, and they showed pictures no doubt of Grosse Pointe, in
the same county, with a vibrant cultural scene and a low crime
rate and a family income in six figures even then.

They also told her roommate who was from the Barbados that visible
minorities were welcome and would feel right at home. (She was quite
rude to them.) At the time YK was paying $55K and substitutes were

Thank goodness for that. I hope she did well in the long run.

earning $150 per diem. I don't know how much schools paid in the
Barbados but the roommate went home after graduation.

The Barbadian weather was probably more conducive to her
well-being than the Canadian.

I checked websites for collective agreements and discovered that in
Detroit teachers make $51K today, $67K with a master's degree. They
also got a healthcare plan and a retirement pension. In rural Ontario
where the cost of living is low and the crime rate truly is low the
range is $50K to $100K and in YK with its high cost of living the
range is $67K to $129K. Also everyone here gets healthcare
automatically, working or not, and the teachers' extended health care
program covers prescriptions, dental work, glasses, hearing aids, and
mental health counselling. Plus generous indexed pensions, paid
maternity (and paternity) leave, adoption leave, child illness
leave, and for the stressed out, short and long term disability and
drug and alcohol rehab programs.

We are not saying that our social and economic system is
ideal for those who aren't already rich.

Title: Lithuanian Pork Roulade
2 Pork ears
4 Pork feet

That's almost stereotypically funny. The cooking time
appears to be a little low.

Serve with marinated beets.

Speaking of which.

... If the place has "Dive Bar" in its name, it's not the real deal.

I've never been to a bar with such a name, but I guess
that guideline holds equally true for words like speakeasy,
joint, or moonshine. I once found a brasserie that didn't
have anything on tap and served only stuff like bottLed
Stella and La Belle Strasbourgeoise. I had the latter.
