putting them where they be longed and not n day too soon no sooner were the screens on the win- down than the weather turned hot and humid however with nir net ting into the house from all direc tions we are now quite comfortably cool in fact although it is 00 de grees outside i have just found it necessary to don a lightweight sweater different people have different ideas about how to keep the house cool in summer we have often been told that the only way is to shut the doors and windows and thus keep the heat out well ive tried it and we dont like that way at all tho house stays cool all right but we rind it suffocating at such a time partner has often come in and exclaimed for heavens sake get some air in here so now however hot it is the doors and windows stay open with the blinds half down last saturday i did not reali7c how hot it was until i got down town i was shop ping as usual and the heat was insufferable and so was the par king as to that is there any small country town where parking has not already become quite a pro blem in our local shopping centre par king has been more or less free nnd easy up to the present tiut just recently parking restrictidns have been imposed now we go down town look up and down the street ah what luck theres an empty space we drive up to it only to be confronted with a newly in stalled standard no parking on this side of the street i suppose that is as it should be and is for the protection of every person using the street but still doesnt solve the parking problem back streets are being used more and more for this purpose and since many of them are narrow this practise also pre sents a hazard maybe the time will come when every shopping district will have a drivein parking arc similar to simpsons on richmond street in toronto anything rather than parkmg meters or steel pickpockets as gordon sinclair calls them one jreason for the increasing number of cars in small towns and the resultant parking congestion is the everincreasing number of people from tho country who drive to their nearest town instead of doing most of their shopping at the local corner store as they used to one reason for this is so they may take advantage of the cheaper prices offered by chain stores in many lines of staples in these days of high living costs can you blame anyone for shopping where prices are lower to give one instance that was brought to my attention one country stoe was selling a wellknown brand of coltee at 115 a pound that same brand could bo bought for 00c in a nearby town not only from chain stores but from an independent g roper the country storekeeper when ni3dcqlichcdinistedhe could not sell goods any cheaper and still stay in business not having the ex perience of a country storekeeper i am not in a position to jurigv but et it seems obvious to me that no man running a country store nn hope to say in business if he oes customer by having prices out if line with tores m nearby hoppli centres granted his dailv o weekly turnover must be conmdei ablv iess but then surelv his o e head niihl also be less the bilsy little comer tore bus been almost a national inuutir for so minv years i hate to thrik of it a- one more thing that in pas- away and yet the writing i- on the wall unless country storekeep er nut rural shoppers cm meet each other halfway in reg ird to selling pi ices personallv if we had a little store within easy reach of us and with prices that were reasonable i would certainly deal there in pre ference to going down town where one milst wime tune driving around looking for a place to park and then waste more time waiting to be served or if one mum park on a side mreet then one is faced with the alternative of carrying parcels a block or more to the car and that often nitmiis making two or three trips depending upon the amoiuit of shopping that has been done there is room in this coutrv for upandcoming general merchans hut the exsv
