SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
THE DAY OF NO REST
There have been .'fantastic+
changes in .our way of living in
the ' last . two or three decades.
Schools ' are bigger and brighter,
if not:`: betfer ` The teens ers have.
taken over ular music and pub-
,
lic attention. p Television. tifles-'
sly . hurls verbal and visual 'gar-
bage in ' our". • unresisting' faces.
Murder ' and rape walk city
streets,. even • in 'daytime. Not to
metion racial strife,. the welfare
state, frozen foods, instant..; ev-
erything,- and Japanese motor
scooters.
It's• a. long, long way from ;that '
simple, - cut-and-dried black -and
white society in which most of
q Y
today's 'middleagers; caught, in a
world revolution, were brought
.up. ". '
If -our `parents and grandpar-
ents could be brought : back from
their eternal rest for a look at our
• world they : ' would probably . go
straight. into deep ' shock. • ` They
alight be able . to cope with most
of the item,. s 'above,: but there is
one . thing that would'. send them
right :'around :.the ..bend ..— ..the
change in our ' observance of Sun-
day.: c r,
When I . was a kid, Sunday, aside.
from itsreligious aspects, was a
day of rest, .literally; `There was;
nothing else to ;do.For the aver.
age family, rt:, was church in the..
; morning, home-for._.a big_ noon iin
tier, . flake out for A nap. for the
adults; . ' ,gloomy poking around
house• or backyard for :the kids,
supper, and early to bed. leo
swimming, no . fishings. not even
a game of catch. Peace and quiet,
however resented by .:the. young.
'Only variation'' in this. was the
descent. of a horde of . dull rela-
tives. Everyone .« then -sat around
in .Sunday best, in parlor'•or . on
porch, and. gassed interminably
'about, Cousin. Elwood's bad : back
or Aunt Ariene's asthma
I grew up thinking than Sunday
•was just. a. • day on, which you
couldn't do anything • worth -while:
My 'attitude' toward the Sabbath
was that the sooner it - =was' over,
the better.
But even then, though.. 1. Was
too young to notice, . the• rot had
.set, • in.' Some' of the wilder ele.
metitsA' in the. community 'began
smashing 'the Calvinistic gloom.
Here and there, a -family "would.
not:, only 'go. for . a drive on. .`Sen-.
day, .• but • smuggle swimming
suits and a ' picnic lunch: along.
Before ya u .knew it, • the . oddfem-

noon of 'visiting, the Colwells •re-
turned to their homes.
•
ly was: secretly listening to Jack:
Benny 011'44 radio, after supper.
• The virus ,spread , like wildfire.
By ' the time f .achieved 'manhood,.
the, grand old traditional Sunday
was 'crumbling rapidly. The more
'"reckless among " the '` young fel-
lows began ;hanging around the
Chinese restaurant . or going: for
walks with girls. Some of the:
pure anarchistsamong them
started 'playing; .: tennis and ,fishing
and all ` sorts of ' , unspeakable
things
Froin there, • of course, it was
only a : step °to Wearing sports
clothes ancf, smoking, and having
a beer on Sunday.' Drugstores and
restaurants' began staying open,.
to' cope with thisnew wave of
wantonness : Sunday, sports got
one :toe; in the door, then kicked
it wide open. Sunday movies mov
ed , in. ' The beaches ' set up mid-
way rides, The* transistor radio
was invented, • along' with :•'the
drive-in. •
And `�yod know; —too, • *hat's'
happened to the peace and quiet
of our, childhood .Sunday. Sports
cars: bellow, lawnmowers snarl.
Traffic whines lir highways, child -
fen whine at. beachs;. Transistors,
blare Beatlesbeat. Power boats
drumveand:throb. The .air, is sweet
with the pock ; 'of golf bails rico-
cheting off trees, :& water-skiers
ricocheting off the headsof swim-
' tilers.' 'Beer cans clang on asp-
halt. Couples , wrangleon gin and
tonic 'Even the birds ''have to
shout 1ptider:: to hear each other.
And all ;that, Dads, is why your
old . man went back from a rest
to work on Monday, while you
go: back to, work for a rest.
