If that's too ilrish for yoii, Tan sorry, 'but I haven't time to explain. '4 4h * tt you see, there's the trouble. I haven't time. Why haven't B7 Be- cause I've got to get this lousy colemn written, so 0 can rush off to bed, so I can get up and rush off to work, so I can make some money, so I can pay for that load of topsoil I bought, so 0 can rush home after work and spread it on my Bawn. The world's going crazy. Every- thing is speeding up. When I was a kid, people used to sit around on their front porch of an evening and shoot the breeze, then go off to bed soon after dark. If you sit around on your front porch nowadays, all it means is you're a no-good, because if you were any good you'd have enough money so you could either be chasing around the lawn behind a power mower, or sitting inside, like a decent citizen, watching TV. * * e Sure, your common sense tells you it's ridiculous. "Slow down, boy," you tell yourself. "You're only going through the course once. Don't panic." So you de- liberately put on the brakes. You determine,, for example, to sit down and relax after dinner, with coffee and evening paper. Right away you feel uneasy. 'Your nervous system, wound up like a steel spring, rebels against this unfamiliar treatment. You feel like an outboard motor running full speed without a boat under you. You begin to twitch, and when your wife rattles the dishes suggestively, or the phone rings, or one of the kids comes in bawling with skinned knees, you spring up in relief. That's th.e awful condi- tion to which the perpetual -motion 6%istence we refer to as "gracious living" has brought us. * * * * > Speed and greed seem to be the basic ingredients in -that arid portion called modern living that we find so hard to swallow. Speed- is peedis the deity of the 20th century, as surely as money was that of the 19th, reason that of the 18th. We worship it cynically, but un- ashamedly. Greed is the fat, slob- bering, little beast inside us that makes us repulsive if we feed if, frustrated if we don't, and happy only if we strangle it at birth. 4 # r, Speed hag ceased to be a means to an end, and is now an end in it'e)f, though we dgn't admit it. We speed up production so we can "turn out the article more cheap- ly ." As soon as the new method is in operation: the price of the article goes up. "Higher over- head." We speed travel to save time,,and spend(ix months in ho•s-, pital, when we fair- to make that curve. We speed housework with new gadgets, so she'll have more 1v .-ure time, --to sit around with a bottle, or go out and play 'bingo. * High in the ranks of those latter- day Satans who cater to, tempt and urge on the poor ordinary slob in his worship of speed and sur- render to greed are the advertising men. If that seems a little harsh, don't take my word for it. Just pay a visit to a supermarket. * * * Shopping used to be a leisurely, pleasant part of daily life for women. It was a hangover from the open market of ancient times. At the grocery store, they met their neighbors, exchanged rerpar• tee with the 'grocer, pinched the meat, tasted the cheese, squeezed the bread, thumped the melons, prodded the chickens and sniffed the fish. Above all, they chewed the fat. '4 * * Today, shopping is a glrim ordeal. The only things the women can get their hands on are the vegetables, and there isn't much loy in pinch- ing, thumping or taking -a bite out of a carrot. Where their grand- mothers dipped a hand into box or barrel to taste or feel, they worriedly read labels, or peer per- plexedly into a vast, white, gleam- ing mortuary called a meat counter. n c � Front every shelf, in every color, they are ehouted' at to "hurry, be quick, hasten, grab me, buy more, family size, special deal." No wonder they scuttle about furtive- ly, snatching upackagea end drop- ping them like hot potatoes into their shopping carts. Everything spells out speed and greed: minit rice, inntant coffee, pre-cooked ham, oven-ready chicken, ready4inix cakes, quick-frozen ,fish. As 'a re- sult, they buy twice as much as they need in half the time they should. Q et o * Then, instead of a friendly, mutually -suspicious tallying of the bill with the grocer, they hurtle Into a line-up, the grub is whisked into bags, the cash register rings out its staccatto symphony and they find themselves out in the street, a vast bag in each arm, and only the vaguest idea of how much they spent. t5 • 0 You'll have to e.cti:4n me now.
