mandlh riant community air condition systems no forced labour when the thermometer reads over bs and socialised icecube service we have strikes for everything else and the effects of heal can be as much of a national isms as any other economic and social problem they can reduce production level to almost nothlnf undermine public morale and be inlirlous lo general health and welfare in canada he problem is particularly acute because the heal wave period is so short and people dont have time lo make the menial and physical adjustment we are after all a transplanted race our modes of dress and method of living are carryovers from areas of the world that dont experience our extreme temperature changes the original inhabitants in this country wore next to nothing in the summer months and spent hot days floating up and down in canoes or lounging in the shade making spears and traps for cooler hunting days we brought in civilisation with its con viction that clothing must be endured at all limes for the good of modesty and production must go on for the good of the dollar as individuals weve tried to cope weve put up calendars of coot sparkling streams think cool we say but were still hot we create mental pictures of speeding down ski slopes on a crisp january afternoon the mind is king wo say but were still hot we scoff at foreign tourists who ask us how we can endure and answer its our strong canadian character were a hardy frontier people thais hard to say when youre walking the pavement in a business suit but were still hot we recall last winters bllssarcu and we say anything is belter than that but deep down w know that we could always put on more insulation then while theres a limit to how much we can legally take off now and were still hot weve sweated it out long enough it is time we had national action to humanise the heat wave if not a slow down or a com plete halt in production on hot days at least a liberalisation of professional standards of dress even giant air conditioning domes over communities is not totally beyond possibility surely the modern mind can come up with something more than expensive air condition units and iced tea
