Acton Wednesday Apr C7 Switch Jobs Week would cure our grumbling Im not much of a one for special weeks not that I dont approve whole heartedly of National Cat Week or tonal Sauerkraut Week Though Id just as soon a snakes belly Ill scratch a cats ear if I have to and Ill choke down a forkful of sauerkraut though Id enjoy a of moldy moss equally well Its Just that I dont become aware of them until theyre all over By the time I realize its National Fireworks Week and have written a hot editorial about It re right into National Fire Prevention Week and there I am telling everybody to run around with a match In hand sending off rockets All this preamble as any idiot child could guess with one head tied behind his back is merely a crafty way of leading up to my nomination for a special week Im fed up with everybody being fed up with his Job and wishing he or she could do something else that looks twice as rosy For example a butcher wants to be a surgeon because he believes he was cut out to cut up there more money in it and anyhow its easier A dentist thinks hed make a dandy politician but he hasnt got the pull A street cleaner wants to Join the air force because be knows bow to pilot If you are now whimpering for mercy Ill tell you about National Switch Jobs Week Heres bow it works Once a year for a full week each of us has a chance to tackle that Job we know we should be doing if an evil fate hadnt tossed us Into our present rut It might be a mite confusing but look Best time to have this special week would be right about now when everybody is completely browned off with win la- Say youre a hydro linesman and you think teachers have it so much better Nice warm classroom when youre out In a piercing wind Snug In bed at night when called out to fumble with a broken line after the sleet storm Hours nine to four and two months holidays Well all you do is take over a claesroom during Na Switch Jobs Week Therell be no trouble getting a classroom because all the teachers will have switched jobs with truck drivers because be latter make more money according to the teachers And therell be no shortage of truck driv ing Jobs because all the truck drivers will be working in factories as theyre sick of being away from home so much And therell be no lack of factory Jobs as all the ordinary hands will be moving up into the executive offices where the work is so much easier and and the money so much better Naturally therell be a lot of ex ecutive vacancies because all the bosses are sick of the tension and responsibility and all want to do is have a little farm of their own where they can get back to the simple life sleep nights without sedatives and conquer their ulcers Farms Tberell be lots of them The farmers will all be taking over stores so they can sit around on their fat butts all day Ihe merchants and watch the bank balance grow The stores will all be available of course because all the mer chants will be away sailing on the Great Lakes where the REAL easy money is See how simple It is It works for women too All the housewives would become models all the models actresses and all the actresses would be able to revert to being the simple housewives they are at heart with eightydollar aprons tied becomingly over their bull fighters pants Personally Im going to put In for a preachers Job during the grand switch Work one day and spend the rest of the week drinking tea and shooting the breeze with Jolly old ladles who are only too glad tohelpyourunthechurch You cant beat that for an easy living Well how does it strike you Myself I think its the greatest idea since psych iatry was invented One weeks dose of the other fellows Job once a year would sweep away all the envy malice and bore dom that afflicts the human race I can Just see them at the end of their week The hydro linesman would be scrambling frantically up the highest pole he could find The teacher would be ready to adopt that teenager he couldnt abide The truck driver would be hurtling down the highway with a song in his heart and bis foot hard down on the gas pedal The factory hand would be crooning over his lathe The executive would be tossing down his tranquilizer plus hilariously The farmer would kiss the first cow saw when he got home The merchant would hum a mem tunc as be gaily punched out the accompaniment on the cash register Friend housewife would be so glad to get out of that girdle she had to don as a model shed soil in and redecorate the whole house And yours truly would be just as overjoyed to get out of that dogcollar and be able to swear look over dames and have a beer again holiday GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON 8532010 You may now charge your classified advertise mem to your Charge Account Ask for PARK LINCOLN urn sbivkx 8772261 IE ALTO BELL I Lou
