blond. 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.

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.

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.

Just about every finance manager in Canada
will give you credit for buying this car.
They're experts when it comes to economy.
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.
