It seems that those perennial fact-hunters, the Gallop Poll, have discov- ered somethinc, about Britons. Their research has revealed that the average British man is five feet eight and weighs 155 pounds. His wife averages five feet four and weighs 130 pounds. His chief escape valves are the cinema and the "bottle," his chief worry—and his -wife's—is money, or the absence of it ; he thinks most wives nag too much.; a family -of three is con- sidered ideal, and one in...three adults says his feet hurt. 'I • • We took a poll, ourselves, of the.'0,e-rge "Canadian in order to compare him with' this norrn;aLliriton. Here are our findings. The average Canadian is 68 inches tall and weighs 2,480 ounces. His wife averages ab'ottea -verage. His chief escape valves are the movies and drinking, his chief worry—is his wife or the absenv of one ;. •he thinks most wives spend too much money; a fantily 1S..•-onsidered ideal, and one in three adults has a heart conditiOn.,.: The Free Press feels that there is not much difference between Britons and Canadians, but we disagree. He might weigh the same and have the same troubles but he doesn't look like us or talk like us. We believe in the same things but our methods of thinking to reach those conclusions are at different extremes. Mainly his environment is respon- sible for this as well as heredity. It's a good thing for the world that there is so much difference between F,nglishman and Canadian as well as American and Frenchman. But please don't anyone try to claim that they can't tell .a Canadian 'frdin an Englishman. Cheerio !

The facts as reported in The Financial Post: Right now 1,000 engineering jobs are going begging in Canada; industry need' 1,0(10 professional engineers a year for normal replacement and growth. By next year demand will hit 2,000, according to Labor :Minister Gregg. Graduation of engineers by our universities is declin- ing fast ; where 3,660 graduated in 1950 only 1,7n0 gradu- ates can be expected in 1952 and the total will dwindle to little more than 1,non by 1954, But the demand, spurred by the continuing boom in new capital investment and greatly accelerated by defense needs, continues sharply on the up- grade. We're losing young engineering brains to the U.S. at an alarming and ever-increasinp. rate. The end of the war provided' a flow of engineers out of uniform and students into engineering schools. In 1946, Canada's engineering population was around 25,000. In- dustry was reconverting to peacetime production. The demand for engineers was "normal." By January, 1951, the engineering population had in- creased to an estimated 30,000, a net increase of about 5,000. But this increase was nowhere enough to keep pace with the industrial boom. * * MEALTIME GLORY A service that one still sometimes gets is the parade to the restaurant dining table, with the head waiter grandly leading the way and grandly drawing nut a chair.

PREAMINQ OF A W11,11T. giRlswiss TELEVISION TWITCHES Seems that television is here to stay if the forest of aerials in the Toronto suburbs and other large cities is any indication. While down in the city recently, we called up an ohl friend to inquire as to his health and to try to arrange a meeting. We were unsuccessful as he informed us that he was going out to a friend's home to watch television that night. Now we have always considered going to the movies a feeble excuse for escaping a visit but this, television is even weaker, What is happening to us when we would rather go and sit‘in front of a flickering screen, with no control over what we see .and hear, rather than sit down amongst friends and exercise our own brains? In fact, we see television as one of the greatest threats to our level of intelligence of everything to date including magazine digests, movies awl photo magazines, We are slipping into a fearfully deep rut by having our thinking manufactured for us. If you're lucky enough to get into a conversation with anyone these clays, you can generally trace their words hack to a digest magazine, a weekly slanted news magazine or a movie they have seen recently. At the risk of being accused of being behind the times, we cannot see what, good can come out of this peering at television. All anyone can expect is poor eyesight, jumpy nerves, a blank mind and a good case of the television twit- ches. Television in its proper place, could be an asset to our way of life, but television as a form of social gathering is a dead loss. Let's examine our values and try to have some beliefs and opinions of our own. We certainly can't depend on machines to salvage our souls, but only as an opiate to drug them. *),,TCbW.M1,,,teitmete-tCtC-TItataCtriCtatar4g-talaWatatf..MACICtfac:7,MtM V.V4,4414taleak.11=5:rkz=r V Time for a WINTER
