This is a most disturbing bit of news. What will the banks and the big corporations do for presidents and board chairmen in the year 2000 if the crop of newspaper carrier boys withers away now? Where will the country turn for elder statesmen? How can there be big shots if they cannot refer to the time when they ran a paper route? The answer could be that if young people and older people in Canada refuse to do the common tasks on their climb to greater things, there won't be so many greater things, for them or the country WITHOIT COMPANY!

This continues to be one of life's more heady moments. It is what one has always secretly felt was fitting to one's real importance. Other services have become inferior, along with many goods; plumbers sneer or don't even turn up to sneer; sales clerks chew gum at you, indifferent to your problems; gas attendants wipe off your windshield when you ask to borrow a rag so you may do it yourself-hut now and then in restaurants you still get the grand parade and the grandly out-drawn chair. The irony of it is that the chair that is out-drawn is inevitably the one farthest around the table from your point of entry to the dining room, it is the chair from behind which the waiter mav face you as you approach the table. This makes a pleasing scene but there is little useful service to it . Ah ! 'tis a fine old-world attitude that the waiter strikes, but it will be plain luck if the chair he selects gives you a good view out a window or of the more interesting fellow diners. Chances are you will be seated facing the kitchen or a sideboard covered with dirty dishes. However, the thing was done with a fine flourish and you do not feel too badly about the draft on your neck. Besides, when the waiter lsn't looking you can sneak into the next chair. cess" yet who loathed his whole T r,atl0nal interest than our way of life with an almost ds"- flghtlnS services in the Far East.
