article in the financial post this doesnt mean that were going to have so much teel it will be running out of our ears as a united states mill operator predicted some time ago but the word in the trade is that some improvement is due in canada- about the middle of next year recently us reports said the first glimmering of in ventory correction was showing up but warned that it might take until the first quarter of 1952 to unsnarl current us confusion raised by the new controlled materials plan in canada between now and the time an improve ment couldbe expected things may get wore for some steel users notably in the construction business there the shortage has been and still is hurting the most we had real comics then sometimes we shoot off our mouth about the youn ger generation and some of the notsoyounger ones too turning into a nation of comic book readers cer tainly they have a big sale and a tremendous following these days not only do the newspapers vie with each other to give the biggest array but the publishing com panies are flooding the market with adventure comics disney comics blondie comics and yes even love comics but one forgets fast it wasnt so many years ago that we were an avid follower of the funnies and buried with some forgotten boyhood treasures we came across what must have been the original of all comic books the adventures of the gumps when or why we gave up reading comics we cant say certainly many of todays variety should not be designated by that name for they make no attempt at humour comics and funnies were originally terms used to describe picture cartoons such as bring ing up father blondie gasoline alley the gumps katzenjammer kids cap stubbs mickey mouse each daily episode was a comic story in itself then sohne cartooners got the idea df continuous stories dagwood and blondie got married had a family so did skeezix the odd character even died gradually comic be came a trade word to describe anything which told a story in cartoon pictures now we live in the days of buck rogers the phantom terry and the pirates nothing funny about their adventures snap crackle pop we met a friend at malton airport arriving by plane fro new y friday ni it is incon in this mechanized da and age but it wai the first time we had actually visited an airport we enjoyed waiting for the plane hearing the announcement on the loud speaker that flight soandso would be arriving in six minutes then seeing the huge mechanical bird make a graceful landing on the runway and taxi to its appoin ted place it is truly a wonder of our age to see dis tance reduced to such fractions and to hear of the ease and comfort with which one can travel no we have tievfrr had a plane ride either standing at the window beside a stoutish lady who was also meeting a passenger from the plane we were not so impressed with another wondei of our age and not so admirable the large lady was smoking a cigar ette chattering a mile a minute to a friend and chew ing bubble gum we were frankly fascinated and it was hard to watch the plane f6r our eyes kept turnina to the lady we have certainly no strong feelings about ladies smoking in public but that snap crackle pop had a fascination why do people do it we played a little game could we pick out the person she was waiting for it was ridiculously easy standing out like a sore thumb among the disembarking passengers was her masculine double snap crackle pop we met our company and missed the greeting of these bubble gum degenerates but a wicked thought crossed our mind what if those two pops coincided when their lips met they would be sealed in a fatal em brace strangled by their addiction a good poster theme for advertising the osobgg ontario society of objectors to bubble gum
