SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley 1 Two Ways Of Life It seems. to . me that, despite the' inroads made by .easy com- munications and transportation; the ancient • mistrust between. rural.dweller and city dweller is , still very much alive. Each feels thatthe other is out to skin 'him at the first .opportunity. , •Each, expresses its in • scorn . for :the other's way of , life, "I wooden live in the Biddy if 'yagimme. .the . wholelousy .mess on a silver platter," snorts your smalltown neighbor. This. ;statement, ee.hoed from .coast to coast,• is usually fol lowed by a , bitter . diatribe against "city living." High rents, crippling taxes, heavy traffic, smog and unfriendliness come. ander the•. gun. Cost of living draws comments' like, . "Costa ya a buck every time ya -blow • yer nose. And what does the smug ' $11 - Urbanite think of . the country? "Ya, I . KNOW. it's nice In the summer up north the^e but wuddaya do all WINTER In that dump?"

Tent that the city is no 'placeto live; . that I'd hate to battle that traffic everyday; that living is cheaper /in a smaller centre; that ourair is a lot cleaner; that it's, wonderful to live within five minutes Whiling, curling, golf and friends. And when I'm listening to some old buddy who lives in the city and loves it, 1 nod sagely when he -declares the city is an •exciting place to live; •that it's wondepfel to take in all the shows and concerts; • that ,it's grand to go out for an' exotic meal in a fascinating place, with ' go-go girls and stuff; that the smalltown doesn't provide the same • e 'cultural ur al opportunities, for Privately, 1 chuckle at both points of view. Both are full of contradictions. The city fellow, claims there's • no' privacy. in ,"a small town. Ev, ery old biddy in WWII knows your business.
