Waiting

looking
forward
to
the
visit
Jof
the
Ketchikan
Rockets.
These
fine
basketball
Slayers,
who
are
due
here
today
for
a
two-game
Seturn
series
with
our
own
Challengers,
come
as
ood
neighbors
as
well
as
tough
competitors.
It
is
the
competition,
of
course,
that
puts
the
5)ice
in
their
visit,
particularly
since
they
took
two
i,'ames
away
from
our
boys
at
Ketchikan.
The
Chal-ngers
have
their
work
cut
out.
But
the
time
on

court
is
only
a
small
part
if
it.

can
be

What
puts
these
exchange
visits
in
a
particularly
happy
light
is
that
not
just
two
cities,
but
two
countries,
are
involved.
It
is
pleasant
to
think
that-international
relations
can
be
reduced
or
maybe
we
should
say
lifted
to
such
an
informal
and
agreeable
level.
Regardless
of
which
basketball
team
comes
out
on

this
kind
of

that
both

Some
travellers
dislike
waiting
so
much
that
they
start
out
to
walk
instead
of
re-malning
at
the
bus
stop.
A
bus,
conjured
up
by
the
strange
laws
that
govern
the
movements
of
buses,
always
arrives
when
the
walker
has
covered
50
yards.
People
who
have
been
in
the
armed
services
know
a
lot
about
waiting.
They,
have
spent
most
of
their
careers
waiting
to
enlist,
waiting
for
a
course,
waiting
to
be
pouted,
and
when
they
are
posted,
waiting
to
find
someone
who
knows
why
they
are
there.
With
all
that
experience,
you
might
think
they
would
get
used
to
waiting.
.
They
don't,
however.
After
'they
have
waited
for,
and
got,
their
discharge,
they
detest
waiting
as
much
as
ever.
Waiting
habits
vary,
from
one
nation
to
another.
There
are
more
saints
and
cows
among
the
English
than
among
Canadians
and
Americans.
Because
there
are
so
many
Englishmen
in
such
a
small
space,
they
have
a
greater
respect
for
the
rights
of
others,
or
a
greater
stolidity
of
temperament...
Englishmen,
,therefore,
wait
in
lineups,
or
queues,
and
North
Americans
often
wait
in;
struggling,
clamorous
