Unfortunately nobody has ever offered mie that choice. Anybody wlio lias seen my basemnent would readily admit it would be casier for mie 10 get drafted than try cleaning it. 1 blamie ny father for my ailergy 10 cleaning basînents. As a youing buck I used to enjoy sîaying Up lhaîf the nigit at one mischievous occupation or another. My faîher Lt5Cd to say, "If you can stay up hiait the nighît then you can gct up in the morning!" More than limes I care to remnember 1 had to get Up at seven in the morning and afier a brief breakfast 1 would be delegated 10 cleaning the basemient.

Just stop and ulîink what would hiappen, if all the base- mnenîs in this country were cleaned up. First off', Rod Seri- ing would go righit outi-of business, or ai best lie would bc confined t0 ancient casîles which are aiso rather scariice in tihese parts. And how about suchi favourite teicvîsion prograins as Ghost Story? Wiihoui a damp, clutîered baserreni full of, dust and spider webs there just wouldn'î be a plot. Hcck, no self respecîing ghost would be caughit dead in a clean basemnent. Wîh the current wave of nostalgia swceping the country il would be disastrous t0 have a national basement cleaning blitz. The immediate effecis would be a flooding of the mîarket with ail the antiques and collectables dîscovered and the botiomi would drop righit oui as far as prices arc concernied. Wiih so many antiques on thc market there would be hundreds of antique dealers going oui of busi- ness and that means we would have nmore people collecting unemrploynieni insurance. Mmnd you the uncnîiployed antique dealers could prob- ably get jobs ai the Crippled Civilians cloîhing celîter bc- cause they would be absoluîely swamnpcd witlî ail the used cloihing and discarded furniture and irinkets ihai people broughit in afier their baserrieni purges. They îoo would have to drop their prices because of an over-abuîîdaîîce of articles but their costs would go uip be- cause îhey would have to take on extra lîelp 10 gel every- îlîing sorted, fixed up and on the shelves for sale. OLit of ail the basemients ihere is bound to be sonie real art treasures discovered tuai lîad been siuffed away by pre- vious owrîcrs and forgotten. The discovery of' 10 or I12 Rcîîîbrandts could drastically affect the prîces of' hie Reni- brandis alrcady on the market and art dealers ail across the nation would be in a tlustcr tb say the lcast.
