equipment here go the dozens of letters received daily which seek free publicity for commercial products political and reli gious theories charitable foundations et al which hopeful individuals and organizations attempt to dis guise as news for the unsuspecting editor in and out of the waste basket lost week went a letter which frankly has us puzzled it came in a plain envelope postmarked toronto and written by one robert mul- venna 27 marmaduke avenue toronto brief and to the point here is what it said j sir common labour in this country is done by wives j and university students what political party in this country will help solve our problems yby promoting vigorously a real immigration policy if we have healthy people to do the work well get rite capita to develop our country take that first sentence common labour is done by wives and university students just suppose we had a real immigration policy where would this put wives and university students what is the common labour that a wife does is is the sewing and cooking making beds doing the weekly wash planting the gar den going shopping looking after the children and how will an imnugration policy vigorous or otherwise relieve mrs housewife from this common labour un- less mr mulvenna intends to replace canadianborn wives with imported wives from europe pr the anti podes as for university students perhaps a bit of common labour does not go amiss after the mental train involved in struggling with the intricacies of philosophy psychology greek or medieval english and besides common labour during the summer months is often necessary to pay the bills for the winters term the last paragraph throws us completely off the beam hinting as it does that neither wives or univer sity students are healthy we have known a lot of wives and a lot of university students too and the great majority of them seem reasonably healthy wives in fact as our research into a number of the currently popular movies which will deal with various forms of neurosis leads us to believe are even healthier when they are not plagued with too much idle time and with abundant funds to visit society doctors who charge large fees to tell them that their trouble is too much time and that common labour is the answer to their problems not being able at all to understand mr mulvennas campaign we shall simply put it down to communist propaganda and let it go at that or should we assume that mr mulvenna is a disgruntled university student who has yet to learn that whatever a mans position in life it involves a certain amount of common labour which neither marriage nor university degrees can by- v and his hot dog sales fell almost overnight youre right son the father said to the boy we certainly arc in the middle of

attention by reeve jack armstrong who clipped it from an insurance magazine a man lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs he was hard of hearing so he had no radio he had trouble with his eyes so he read no newt- 4 papers j but he sold good hot dogs he put up signs on the highway telling how good they were he stood by the side of the road and cried buy a hot dog mister and people bought he increased his meat and bun orders ha bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade he got his son home from college to help him but then something happened his son said father havent you been listening to the radio theres a depression on the european situation is terrible the domestic situation is worse whereupon the father thought well my sons been to college he reads the papers and he listens to the radio and he ought to know so the rather cut down on his meat and bun orders took down his advertising sighs and tto longer bothered to stand out on the high- ws to ti hot dogs r the
