Norwegian, through CO-fee-hued Maori Indian from New Zealand to coal-black West In- dian. Religion ran the gamut from agnostiC to fervent P.C., frona Baptist to Moslem. We were like brothers. On my 21st birthday, having aprained an ankle badly In a rugger game. I couldn't walk to my own birthday Party, I was carried to the pub on the should- ers of a magnificent turbaned Sikh from India, a Polish count, an Australian dairy farmer, and the scion of a fine old Belgian family. It was my finest hour, when my brothers deposited me gently at the bar. And it helped convince me that race, religion and color have very little to do with man's inhumanity . . . or humanity . to man. Watching the world lately, I find it hard to believe that man- kind has progressed very far since the day Cain clobbered Abel and began a fa.d that has never lost its popularity—mur- dering one's brother. Whether it's Alabama, Ham- burg or Havana, Quito or Que- bec, the pattern is the same: clubs swinging, women scream- ing, skulls cracking, b 1 oo d spurting. Hammering one's fellow cit- izen with a billy-club is one of the leading outdoor sports of this generation. It's difficult to believe that all the hatred and viciousness among men is based on color, or religion. The Palastanians and Indians loathe each other.

PARKINSON Plane 235 - 0833 Residence 228 - 6961 Mrs. Lena Hamden, 86, was found burned to death Monday noon after her clothes caught fire as she cleaned a small coal stove in her home on M ain Street. Her charred body was found in a snowbank at her back door by a neighbor, Mrs. Keith Dixon, who ran over to see if she had any mail to go to the postoffice. Mrs. Dixon had another neigh- bor Miss Doris Weir phone Dr. E. R. Patterson who said she died of multiple burns and shock. It was thought live coals from a pan of ashes set Mrs. Bawd- en's clothing on fire. Holes were burned in the rug on the floor. C.A. McDOWELL Ltd. It is my experience that the tensions of race, creed and color are completely artificial. It is only when they are tanned by ignorance, fear or malice that they burst into flame. nored, they dissolve and van- ish. The other day, I was super- vising an examination. For something to do, I looked down a couple of rows of students and checked off their national origins, They were Swiss, Po- lish, Dutch, German, Italian, Norwegian, Anglo-Saxon. There were Jews and Roman Catholics and Protestants of all denomi- nations. They didn't even look as they should have. A red-headed Ger- man and a red-headed Jew. A couple of swarthy, black-haired Mediterranean types called Smith and Jones. And I happen to know there is no hatred, no tension over race or religion or pigmentation, in this group. There is only the normal clash of personalities, based entirely on individual likes and dislikes. In 1943 I trained at a R. A. E. Station in England. On my course were pilots from half a dozen European countries, from Canada and the U.S., from Afri- ca and Australia, from Trinidad and India, and from all over the British Isles. Color ranged from silver- They're the same color, differ- ent religions. The Viet Nams and the Viet Congs murder each other with mutual relish. Same color, same religion. In South Africa, white kick blacks around. In North Africa, blacks kick whites around. In both cases, religion is am- material. In South America, the rich kick the poor around, and they all go to the same church. In North America, wives kick their husbands around. Same color; same religion; different sex. It it isn't racial or religious or sexual, what then is the basis for all the pounding of other people? Is it simply fear that if you don't smash the other fel- low's skull first, he will kick you in the groin? Or is it something more sim- ple and primitive, just a savage joy in the letting of blood, in pain and cruelty? It's hard to know. An anthro- pologist will say one thing, a psychologist another. And a good bartender could probably come as close to the truth as either.

They know, when if comes time for you to make your last payment, chances are your VW will still be looking as nice as the day you bought it. in 1933, we sold 960 Volkswagens. And of last count, a few months ago, we found 855 were still on the road. That's why, when you want to buy a VW, you'll find it's not very difficult to get backing from one of the finance companies that stand behind us. Or any bank, finance company or credit union you choose. And because a Volkswagen sells for about S1,000,00 less than the average spent on a new car in Canada, the pay- ments you make era likely to be smaller. Or fewer. Does a VW demand a big down payment? Not very. In many cases, your trade will do the trick. And we're taking all kinds of trades. Big cars. Small cars. Old cars, late model cars. Compacts. But the really nice thing about buying a Volkswagen is that it's priced tow enough so you can pay it all in one lump sum. Or we can come to terms.
