Those of us. Who live in small
'town? are often intrigued by the
storjes we hear about the evil
doings and earthly happenings
in cities like New 'York, Mont'*
'real, London, England or Hong
Kong. In fact, some of us who
call a progressive euchre party
at the Town Hall a real bash
are inclined to question wheth
er we are somewhat ignorant
about life as it is lived by a
few.
Maybe that’s the reason that
soap operas -—, those afternoon
programs for the housewife
•have such a keen following of
listeners. Script -writers for
these real life episodes pack a*
whale of a lot of varying ex
periences into 15 minutes arid
for -a brief time the lady
the dighnan is transported

another town, another season,
another world,
There, no. dishes wait in the
sink, no beds must be stripped
and remade, no meals have io
be prepared, the baby seldom
'cries. Heroines of these stories,
though homemakers and .moth
ers, -are rarely seen doing the
tedious chores we must daily
perform. .They have coffee
with the gal across the street,
eat lunch with a foreign agent
or . go dancing with a dashing,
brilliant husband, Always they
are properly dressed, freshly
made-up and manicured, gener
ally lovely,
Is this what life in a big town
i's really like, I wonder?
All the men have important,
jobs at sufficient salaries. They
‘never have to take an evening
off to collect for the Cancer
Society, help out at the rink
or fix a leakjr faucet at spinster
aunt Helen’s house, instead,
they are at home either roman
cing their lucky ladies or ca
vorting at a swanky party where
the action is fast and danger
ous.
And the kids. They are the
most remarkable. They are
quiet and intelligent. They
never are caught with one. foot
in the refrigerator door, an
other foot sharply kicking sis
ter and both hands turning
volume buttons on the record
player. They don’t have prob
lems at school or on the bus.
These things are too trivial.
Soap opera kids find dead bod
ies, overhear secret plans and
reunite lagging marriages.
'■ Surely big city kids aren’t
that much more wise and worn
derful. Or are they?
A day which began last Mon
day can still be next Thursday
and a week can pass in the time
it takes for a commercial.
Grandfathers always give, the ■
right advice, injuries are never
serious enough to kill, police
men can piece together even
the "most evasive clues; women
can eat out -every night and
never gain weight, and men
can booze through an entire
evening and never get sloshed.
Is that, life as it really should
be lived? Or just the over
activity of some Pollyanna mind
purely tor entertainment?
wonder!

Huron OFA president

Elmer Hunter, of R. R. 3
Goderich, newly* elected pre
sident of the ..Huron County

^environmental management in
an effluent society” the health
minister outlined tn great detail
the preventive measures plan
ned by the Ontario government
to get rid of pastes nobody
wants,
Since 1957, when the govern
ment established the Ontario
Water Resources Commission,
he said, the new body has taken
over control of water supplies
and sewage disposal, either by
building its own plants, or by
aiding municipalities with
money and advice.
As a result, he said, twice
as many sewage treatment
plants have been constructed in
the past ten years as in the pr er
Vlous 30 years.
Less than 2.5 of Ontario’s
communities now discharge raw
sewage into streamsand most of
these plan remedial works, he
said.
