To hear lit tolti, it seems that each one of -us exists in a frenzied atmosphere of rusLh and bustie. Modemn civilization. iý,ve, gather, sets an exhaustllng pace and demantis a constant rusn from ail who wish to keep f rom being over-run by the pack., Somehow, this conception of a "tranquillizer era" Wth everyone undter intense pressure doesn't seem to match ahl the faots. Most workers spend about 40 hours a week la surrounding-s that are tolerable, if flot downrighit comfortable. They have the ýrneans, 'andi the lime, for a wide range of recreaition. They cati ienx a homes thait are miracles of luxury and convenience corn-~ pared wilth houses in ' "Ihe g-ood old days". In fact, to Most-ofeus Lïfe Ilooks pretty good. Yet this ipeso f pressure and hustie, whether it is an îill-usion or not, ýdoes ëxibat andi does affect us. And lan ro area is tais more obvous tsan ia our driving behavior. The sense of urgency thlat tihe average driver gets wvhen hie akes the wheel is usually completely illog-ical, says the Ontario Safety League. Wheai he starts out lie may have no real reason) for ~hurry, andti s usually heading off to do something he will enjoy far less than driviag his car; yet his overaIl objective is to com- pletethe journey ta the sh-ortest possible time. He winces at every momentiary delay. A car cutting- into uine aheati of his is an affront. A red light is a minor tragetiy. The irrational part of the urge to 'hurry-dmive is that it 1I- largely ineffective. Most of us who give way to the urge ynow Chat trying 40 speeti saves very hitle turne, particularly in con- gested areas. Aotiual tegts have qhown repeatedly that only anin- üconsiderable amrount of time is saved by a "pushing" driver, as ccoipareti with a man wP2o drives steaduly, wtlhin the speed lim it. The reason for taking risks in traffic are bard to under- î;tand. But the resuits are, too olten, tragically obvious. Starndard Sizes Parents will welcome word of the ereation of a standartilzed iystemn of ohilren's clothing sizes, establisheti untier the National Trade Mark Garment' Sizing Regulations, enac ted last Ma.rch. The need for, standartfing ecl<tling sl2es lias bken recognizeti for ,rahy yeâirs.,Manufà tuiýer§, retaifers and consumers 'all ;igrýee that a jack of uiformity ia the ssizes of wearing apparel lias led fo mueh' needless confusion andi wasted effort. Consumers have fre- quentiy complained about their inabili-1y to fimd edothes tihat wiII ,t)Iling sizes. Tis becomes apparent when a person changed Thé dificulty was largely one of diiffering methotis of la- ',brands" 'and discovered that thle saine size designation coulti have varying inerptýtaàtions among dîffereait anufittiurers. A special camxmfltee spent several years on ins prohlem atibas produced three sibing systems 'for chlldren"s eddthiig. Newsizing systems were 'particularly needed inla h'ldrens wear, as the niethod inl currenit use evolveti over the years more or less by trial and error. Ia children"s edothing size was origin- ally relatedt o age, aad manufacturers use to speak of the '"aver- aefive-year-ol" or the ,average eight-year olti". The ,vide i'ffeeces in size w'hich can,- andi often do exist between chilidren -of the same age make it obvious that the traditional system is unirsatisfactory. The a- ew systerrns contain more than 30 sizes and, provlde a reasonable fit for- 85 o 90 per cent of the child population. They are intendted o include ail by s and girls from walkiag aet hig sdoolgraduation. The siziiag system createti for children's clothnag are o-datively simple.
