' -CANADIAN LIBRARY WEEK — April 16th to 22nd. I’d Rather One of the great, bruising • stresses of modern society to which sociologists pay little attention was imposed on me this week. I traded my car for a new one, This psychological v crisis comes to all of us, every two ' or three years. It bears look ing at, as a manifestation of', the tremendous pressui’es yre have to cope with, and our grandfathers didn't. What a snap they had, They went to a reputable horse-dealer and bought a horse. No sweat, They didn’t even have to make the agon-? ijzing decision of whether to buy a brand new one or a late-model used, There was no such thing as a new horse. What’s more, they enjoyed it. There was some good- natured dickering which > usually . ended with both ’ parties thinking they had got the better of the deal. Grand pa chuckled as he drove his lively gelding homie, thinking of how much trade-in allow ance he’d received for Old Min, the mare, Who hadn’t much mileage left in her. And the dealer chuckling as he thought of the gelding stead ily going blind, and the fact that the'preacher who knew nothing about horses, was lookupg for a quiet mare like Old Min. My point is that it was not the wrenching, exhausting thing that a modern car deal is. The average layman then knew whether a horse was sound. He took a look at the teeth, felt the beast here and there, hitched it up for a -trial spin, and made his deal. There was only so much that could be wrong with, a horse. He could be blind, or spavined, or wind-broken. But he didn’t rust, there was no chance of his brakes grab bing, his transmission was automatically automatic, and he didn’t cost $1,500 a year for life. And that’s one of the rea sons I buy a car exactly the way Grandpa used to buy a ■horse. I look at its .teeth.' That is, I .lift hood to make sure there’s a motor, 'and open trunk to make sure there’s a spare. I don’t feel the beast here and! there, 'but -I kick the tires and give thg/ doors a good Siam or two. I take it for a little trial spin. And if nothing falls off, and Eat Spam !t|he . color suits my wife, I deal. Thiere are different types of car buyers, .of course. There’s the kid who makes $60 a week. He walks up to the. red convertible with 80 (yards' of chrome, bucket seats and dazzling wheel discs, points to it and says, "Gimine d'at one." Cheerfully,, foe signs the indenture papers . which will enslave him for four years, and departs the lot with a squeal of hires. Where else can he find power and sex appeal for a lousy $80 a month ? And there’s the bom horse trader, who deals for the sheer joy of it. He spends most of his spare time in car dealers’ lots,, badgering the salesmen, disparaging merchandise, and quoting the * terrific deal that Honest John down the street hais .of fered him. He seldom has a oar more than six months and (is 'deluded 'into1 thinking that his lot is, improving with every trade, But for the average lay man today, buying a car is an excruciating ordeal. He sus pects the dealer. He fears ridicule from his friends, all of whom have made excellent deals lately. He dreads the interview with the bank man ager. He trails, from one car lot to another, trying to find a buick for the price of a Volkswagen. And the uphol stery must match all his wife’s clothes. Not me. Not no more. Life’s too short. Yesterday, I bought in 20 minutes. Let my wife drive it home, Oh, there were one or two little things1. It stalled .and we discovered the battery cable was loose. The .light in the ceiling wouldn’t go out 'and I ted to phone the dealer to find out where the switch was. One of the, doors won’t close. And there was a delightful bit of family excitement when my wife pushed' the window washer button, it stuck, and soapy Water gushed1 over the windshield for five minuteis with more suds than a deter gent commercial. But it’ll, all work out. Three years from now. It’ll be just- another rust-bucket, almost paid. for. And I have probably added a year to my life by buying like Grandpa.

It is quiiite common 'to See a young mother competing with her f riends in an effort to see how much food she can boast of giving her child, and this could have two opposite effects ais the child matures. It may train him(‘ to eat far more than he needs from sheer habit, or it miay drive him the other way and result in complete apathy to food. A middle road is desir able. It is a feature of the child’s development that around two years of age, more or less, he appears to lose his appetite.
