of passengers caught in the snowbound train in california the ttc strike more trouble in egypt and last but not j least the suggestion that canada be sold to the united states of am erica of course there was plenty of other outstanding news much of which touches our lives directly or indirectly whether wc want it to or not and yet such is human nature while wc know world shaking ev ents are shaping up yet we show our greatest concern for what takes place on our- own doorstep as it were we are shocked at the sud den death of someone wc have been used to seeing around town any time we went there and we are deeply concerned over the illness of a near neighbour even our own livestock seems to be of major importance for in stance a few minutes ago partner came in with the news that he has a sick cow so the sick cow takes precedence over what goes on in europe asia or even toronto is that bcing selfish and narrow- minded i hardly think so certainly we need to take an in terest in world affairs hut wc ooch have our 6wn work to do and if we worry too much about wars and rumours of wars we inevitably cripple our own efficiency for the job that is close at hand take the ttc strike- there you have major transportation difficulties but in the country we have our traffic problems too as i knew only too well last saturday especially in regard to parking from what i have seen in small towns around here the available parking space falls far short of the number of cars that want to park to a native it is annoying to a stranger it is confusing as you drive slowly down the street the only open space you find is either a driveway or space re served for a fire hydrant recently an additional fire hydrant was in stalled on our main street i always forget it is there and gleefully head for the empty space i drive in and theres the hydrant tho other day our local police officer was also therenljc had hi back to me but turned round just as i was backing out late yester day afternoon when i went down town heavy wet snow was falling the only parking space i could find at all was between two cars parked at different angles i looked at the place well my car was sxntll i guess i could make it and i did by flattening myself pretty well i was even able to get out of the car before i left i went round to see how much apace was left on the other side only a few inches sep arated my car from the one that was parked at such an awkward angle oh well mayba us owner of that car will be gone by the time i get back and getting out will be his worry i thought but it wasnt gone nor was he one on my left cars and trucks were coming along the street in quick succession the snow was so wet the wipers couldnt clear the windshield properly the rear win dow was blanketed with snow oil of which added to my troubles in trying to back without scraping any fenders getting out of a ttht spot like that is not my idea of fun especially if some supeior male takes a delight in standing on the sidewalk to watch my man oeuvres and that has happened more than once one time i challenged a man to come and back theenrout for me if he thought he could do a beter job that time being crowded in wasnt my fault he didnt accept he challenge he didnt know haw to handle an english car however on saturday everybody was too busy minding their own business to worry about me the storm was getting worse all the time so without any onlookers to make me nervous and with much experi mental twisting and turning i fin ally managed inch by inch to get myself out more convinced than ever that something needs to he done to relieve congested parking what i hardly know a partclng lot but where country towns were not laid out to provide for central parking lots fashion hint a trimly tailored suit like this one is always a prize businesslike and yet flattering a suit is always ready to go anywhere looking ahead to spring this is it of course pictured the suit is in gabardine with a rich sheen and rich colors look best with that rich sheen too and then let your mind wander with accessorlesl the only place is underground or overhead of course in some towns there are a few antiquated stores that might be better out of the way and the space given over to parking that is quite a thought or is it to change the wbject would anyone reading this column be in terested in something for nothing if so i have a number of cornflake box tops that are yours for the ask ing first come first served by sending 3 boxtops and 25c to the cereal company you can get a piece of tudor plate silverware t dont need these boxtops myself and yet i go on saving them i hate to throw anything out that someonr else might be glad to have cavemen actually good neighbours writing in the december issue of harpers magazine michael fry debunks the current or cartoonists conception of the caveman so far as wc have any evidence on the subject he thinks it goes to show that the caveman did not do his wooing with a club was probably kind to his children and with cer tain limits was usually a good neighbour and peaceloving gentle man so passes another illusion as far as the caveman is concerned his rehabilitation comes too late he and his lowbrowed contempo raries have long since passed to whatever neanderthal heaven they expected and rest unmoved by modern praise or blame but dis crediting the legend may have some effect on presentday man ners there has always been a certain wistful admiration for the caveman in his traditional charac ter the casper milquetoasts of the world have dreamed of his prowess with the club as they sub mitted to theic wives demands envying but never daring to emu late him yielding for the sake of peace in the home they have gradually lost selfrespect merely because they have failed to live up to their ideal now that the ideal is proving false it may be that the modern males selfrespect will revive the argumentto bolster it will now be if the caveman could put up with it why cant you no longer need he feel ashamed of helping with the housework or being dragged cut of his modern cave to attend parties of his wifes relations he has the comfort of knowing that with the progress of civilization he has to put up with more than cas par neanderthal ever- dreamed of and by that excess is the better man the printed word canadians spent
