pre wadnmday deoambar 31 lo9 mwtymjqnrthjhjja from the editor and editorial staff ditorial page titter 0h guhttaif unlike their counterparts in the us canadian retailer are mildly lined up agalnit sunday opening they will ttay open late any day but according to style magazine never on sunday thia u the unanimous opinion or officials of canadas leading department stores on the issue of sunday openings store officials feel there is plenty of time to shop during six day of the week without having to stay open on the seventh even the national retailers institute whose members vehemently favor late night bopping is against sunday shopping in canada sunday opening in the united states however is becoming widespead and the trend is sflowbillirtg to the point of no return enough pressure has been put on use ontario government by those in favor of sunday shopping here to hmvt the lords day act reviewed by the law society it is quite possible there could be changed in the laws regarding sunday shopping we would line up solidly behind the large chain store in their bid to keep store shut on sundays let there be sports amusements and other activities to keep people happy but let us be spared the jingle of cash registers there is enough time during the week to shop storekeepers along with everyone else need a break from the routine of dealing with the public competition from the large department stores could also force many of the small retailers to open sundays which would not necessarily generate more business and could keep noses to the grindstone seven days of the week let us benefit from the experience in the us where sunday shopping has only created a monster which adds more weight swallowing free time in the name of progress weeklies teat e4ju see a mistake on this page dont gloat there are no fewer than 4367428 chances of making n typographical error on each newspaper page according to an article in the canadun printer and publisher taken from the midland free press herald with those kind of odds it is a wonder there arent more gremlins to disrupt the type each week certainly there are enough around to upset the staff of this journal there are few occupations with such formidable odds against achieving a perfect result there are bo few occupations where errors are exposed to public view with such regularity the wonder is there arent more errorvand a few nervous breakdowns to accompany them the article also points out there ore over 5000 men and women engaged in producing weekly newspapers in canada which are read by well over half the nations total population during the past year these same weeklies carried some 1 2999000 worth of advertisingpresumably most of it errorfree these figures point out the fact of the importance of the weekly press and despite the chances of error the growing number of advertisers who realize it bottoms down sugar and spice b y m i i y many experts and a good few nonexperts like yours truly arc pounding out millions of words these days looking back over iheir shoulders with horror at the sixties and looking ahead with terror at the seventies i donl know what the tost decade did to you but it aged me about 20 years or maybe it only feels that way because ive spent it teaching school and surviving two teenagers in the history books this pail decade will receive a few paragraphs as one of turbulence and social change dutifyouve lived through it youve been through the wringer sam and you know its been one of wrenching cluotic violent revolt it produced assassinations ugly and stupid wars a deepening of racial hatreds and a feeling of impotence and despair among ordinary people it produced new breed of music and a new breed of youngneople a breed that questioned everything but supplied few answers a breed that turned away from the church and turned on to drugs a breed that suggesedd work is a dirty w6rd and dirty feet are a sign of moral purity the decade produced dozens of new democratic countries with dozens of new dictators to run them it brought forth the pill and a sexual revolution it gave birth to new highs or lows of pornography printed and filmed we experienced vast strides backwards in inflation pollution and population control we saw i he inevitable rise of black antique corner from vocfp npfwtcdc ml i crrinm from vosef dhenters collection ttvlrltsssihl numerous foundries in the united states produced castiron toys in the 1870s and 1880s such as little horses and carts trains and all types of banks in the forms of different bank architecture the ones shown in the photographs ore actual replicas of such manufacturing with the exception of the tractor toy which i is an authentic 1930s toy the manufacture of these toys prolonged well into the him of the century and they are now coveted by collectors some of the local canadian manufacturers made replicas of their products ie cilson ranges red and yellow power with us inevitable violence we saw the pjradox of a steadily increasing materialism buttling it out wiih a steadily incrciving spintujhun in the direction of all weird exotic and farout culls we drank more and smoked more despite the huge hikes in prices and narcotics swept the western world like the bubonic plague we saw the- vast venerable and rigid edifice of education attacked from within and without and now have an educational system with one foot in the grave and the other being gnawed by militants who donl know anything but know that what they dont know is right we have hid race riots stnkes galore confrontations peace marches in which a lot of people got clobbered a steadily growing crime rate and the sundering of innumerable families because of the socolled generation gap i could go on and on painting a grim black picture but its not all black the yahoos have not quite taken over yet the establishment another dirty word has been forced to take a good straight look at itself and what it saw was not always pretty a great deal more is being done for the socially deprived people as a whole are becoming generally concerned with pollution at last the christian churches have taken slow and halting but definite steps towards unity the pone is no longer infallible in some circles canada is still intact after a decade of talk about disintegration as a nation individuals have taken a standi as witness dr alcorn on peace stanley burke on biafra and bill smiley on snowmobiles the yanks took two shots at the moon and made it both times theres almost a certainty of a minimum family revenue medicare and similar schemes protect the aged and the poor from financial catastrophe the list is long and you must remember that you cant make bread without yeast the young people the rebels have provided the yeast but there is all that dough that must be produced and the rest of us make the dough and the bread in more ways than i have faith in the human race though goodness knows why im willing to give it another
