note that such a thing may actually cometo pa either in thisyear or possibly five years hence it seems that agrmen is nearer fulfilment than at any other time h- lite dayl saving andallthe other changes that we the old to the new can be anticipated as difficult 4t seems the chief disadva th there would e uniformity of tjteweeks and months it would make all holidays like good friday always come otohe same day of the week the process of course is different but the aim in this day is definitely toward uniformity and if a new calen dar will bring this about those individuals who find personal satisfaction in being different will of course in due time fall in line with the stream lined way of lifeend regulating our time under fhe new calendar setup january april july and october will each have 31 days air other months will contain 30 days the extra day we tack onto february in leap years now would follow june 33 every four years biggest obstacle is thought tohave been- fet

to be cwe and interested jn the present day the only thing thatheld him fronv it was the vigofjof youthful years which forbade partici- pationin sports or other activities we ceased our search for the answer very thankful that not one of ogr friends had seen fit to- d what they considered an old timer appreciative we were too to learn that old timer is a loose term that may be affectionately applied frith a gentle hand on the shoulder and it hasno significance toyou at all why even 1954 is now considered at old timer in some minds back in j35 j tmb the issne of- che free frees at 3rd 35 overcome with the approval ot the new calendar by the vatican last summer now main criticism in canada seems to be built around regularity arid monotony of j 1 always falling on a sun day or christmas on a monday offse t is th o ad of- r in yeerloyear business and social planning there is also the lure of a fee day at the end of each year when time is suspended from new yarlsjbfw24jhqyrs until newjyears expensive air waves in business circles a yearend deficit calls for some carefatserutiny by those in charge its rather remarkable that public scrutiny is lacking on government deficits business talk in terms of balances and government auditors are most par ticular to calculate the balance on which individ uals base theirtax returns cbc commercial revenues for the 12 month period totalled 37 millions cbc expenditures included radio and tv operating expenses of 198 million talent costs of 18 million and programme costs of 41 million cost of the oyjftrseas service added another 2 million to the total outlay it is not even necessary to tabulate these figures to t gap between revenue and ex penditure thebajance is of course made up from funds derived from other public sources it is rather significant to note the comment of audi tor general watson sellaron the accounting sys- tern of this publicentertainment feature that it is not conducive to satisfactory audit whether you enjoy the services of cbc or not the public of canada is as usual paying a heavy toll for its culture entertainment or what ever it is that fills the air whos an qm timer our trend of thought on jhexlef in itipn ofran oldtimer was started when we were invited to attend the christmas dinner of a group with which we had ceased activity just six months pre viously ttwas quite evident thatit was not the matter of years that labelled one an oldtimer so we sought among bur friends the answer to why they referred to certain individuals as old timers we would haveliked tcrgef the individual sample- of an old timer pointed out to us biit all were- hesitantto say now so and so is what i consider a real old timer so we were enforced to deduce from a lot of generalities who would be an old timer one said an old timer to earn the term must be wellover80 should have either grey hajr or e bald he shoulaybe able to- answez matters which involved happenings of the nineties or ber yond another said an old timer was one who found hisor her chief interest in the 50 years ago col umn and who referred to thegood old days and every one does it in thesprjng a housewifes attention goes to spring cleaning its an annual ritu it isni spring- but around a newspaper and printing otv fi t sa ri which ob a h occurs very often at year end the premchristmas rush is over there is all kinds of material piled up that has been in use and theres the whole batch of things that were put off from month to month since last year end it quite often starts with the edit desk and seeps through the whole plant perhaps it is just that urge to get a good start in the new year so it is that the past week we have been find ing some things that had escaped attention it goes anywhere from an unanswered letter to a loose bolt on a machine one thing just leads to another when cleanup time makes its annual encroachment on a newspaper office we get a- better understanding of the viewpoint of the housewife aaaybethe reason household spring cleaning is done in the spring is because it is the slack season in housework and it has no connec- tionjvithjheendofwinterorthecoming of sum mer we know too after going through the annual cleanup period that its not a frivolous but a very necessary ritual while we have a comfortable feeling now about our own ritual of cleanup time we know full well how to appreciate the months between now an w the same up heaval strikes into the home r winter hazards icy roads and winter weather are conditions which may suddenly become a problem to any motorist of course the easy and safe thing to do is to stay off the roads under baddriving con ditions but then one is often already on the roads when such conditions occur and one may also be fiuvay from home the weather is so regularly predicted and with such quick variations that little planning can be done when it is concerned l ancfthat is to slow down and be constantly on the alerts on
