Exemplary courtesy Aninteresting aspect of the job of being Canadas prime minister Lia the moonspic uous way in which its holder can often move aboutthecountry Inthe Unitedstates the president can hardly sneeze without the public hearing of it But in Canada the prime minister can come and goralmost unnoticed at tlines And while this might seem not overly attractive aspect of this countrys highest government post consideringthe import ance of publicity to politicians it Should not be underestimated It means that even the prime minister can enjoysome of the privacy only the average voter enjoys in some other countries An Example of this anonymity of Can adian prime ministers at timeswas the return of Prime Minister St Laurent to the capital recently from speaking engage ment in Bherbrooke Que He was travelling in the drab green old but welloutfitted private railway car he uses It was attached to the end of regular passenger train When the train stopped the prime 3min ister carrying couple of brief cases step ped off and was greeted not by crowd but bythree officials from his office and couple of reporters He shook hands with the officials and the reporters then began the long walk along the station platform other passengers were getting off the forward coaches and hurrying toward the waiting room The prime minister strode among them unnoticed He caught up to three young girls and politely stepped around them If they realiZedhe was the prime minister theygavc no sign One or two persons gave the little group cursory glance then went about their business Theprime minister of Canada was Just another man with grey tweed suit with brief case under his arm It left reporter wondering are Canad ians that disinterested in their politicians Have they acquired such confident in dependence that promnient public figures dont fascinatethem any more than Canad ians fascinate themselves Or did some of these other passengers really recognize their prime minister but were just too polite to intrude on the per sonal privacy every Canadian even the prime ministerennmmengn enjoy The Big Sleep Waror peace prosperity or depréssion mean nothing tobirds and beasts They follow the agesold cycle of the seasons When town dwellers are putting on storm windows and snowfencing is being stacked aiong rural highways ready to be put into place migratory birds are on their way south and bears and many other species are getting ready for the long winter sleep During hibernation death from starva tion and the wasting away of tissues is preventedlby absorption of fat which the anlmat has accumulated in the weeks be fore his retirement Those which do not relax into virtual unconsciousness have stored supplies of food The Arctic foxfor instance hoards dead hares ermines or lemmings The woodchuck makes storage locker of its body but it also stews away stock of green fodder in case it wakes up hungry before spring For month aftermonth it lies in trancelike sleep Bears and ground squirrels badgers and hedgehogs turtles and frogs are others that find cosy refuges for the winter Theyre not all true hibemators Bears sleep in normal state With many other species they have builtinthermostat which willvwake them uplf there is any dangerof freezing to death But true hibernators in small group of northern mammals undergo radical physical changes hibernating hedgehog survived test in which it was kept under water for 22 min flutes Woodchucks and bats in laboratory Itests have survived four hours in carbon monoxide gas The hibernators exist in state of sus pended animation because their hearts drop to the lowest possible be and keep geing at minimum body heat that no other animal couldstand for long And even bird will hibernate once in while The National Geo

have in effect posed blunt question Do shops and stores operate for the convenience of the people or do the people exist for the con venience of the shops and storesf That is an oversimplification of the issue but it docs give point to the fact that the public at largeand admittedly people who work in stores are members of that publicdoes not seem to cnloy much consideration in the shortened shop ping week observed locally Few if any ciiinens want or eitpect the person in shop to revert to the 12hour day six days week which was commonplace generation or so ago On the other hand is there sufficient reason io prevent siores which wish lo remain open from Monday to Saturday inclusive from following that course provided adequate time off is given to employees The fact that hours of work clauses would in crease the number of employees working for big concerns if no midweek halfholiday were in force has won support for the plan from labor spokesmen More jobs are created rlind aseis glarineg obvious during the tourist season Victoria is losing great deal of business when oneday visitors reach town on Wednesday walk the streels looking for shops which sell the type of goods they want to buy in Victoria and flndAonly leaked doors The argu ent has been raised on many occa sions that full sixdoy working week would in flict hardship on proprietors who have small businesses employing one or two assistants Either they would have to engage more help or extend their own working hours according to the case presenied on their behalf That it seems is one of the challenges of com Tbey need not remain open unless they small staff to handlethe extra afternoons busi ness they wouldhave to form their own judgments on the advantages of staying openVand thereby presumably collecting more revenue which might cover costs of additional helpor shutting up and letting the days business go elsewhere Why should those who want the business and are ready to handle it be forced to remain idler Where is the justice for them in such Ian arrange mentan arrangement incidentally which does the city serious harm when it is thronged by visitors with money to spend and no place to
