The Financial Post had an article
written by Ted Wood who claims he's a ,u
former one -good -blue -suit man who,
for an, 'Financial Post magazine
research project, allowed'hirhselpto

who says the generation now in its 40s
'never recovered from the Depression
when clothes were judged for
durability and not lookkt found, '-the
experience exhilarating.

To his. considerable surprise, he
prefers even the most .exotic of his.
new clothes to Old Blue: And Wood
strongly. counsels 'every • other
unfashionable .40 -year-old to go out
and change his image too.
"With so imanyeh'ungry •nielnbers of

$uppliters " are, increasingly being
asked to. design such manly items as
six-foot 'tubs arid carriage lamps to
light shaving mirrors.
Men's liberation is showing uo in
larger bathrooms, deep
predominating colors, sink heights of
more than 30 inches and --believe it or
not --wall-to-wall' carpeting for extra

It's a woman's world? ,Don't you

claim.
I'm writing this column a day
Orly this week. It is Thursday
afternoon and since I'm due at
county council all day tomorrow, I
figured 1'd get a lump On next
week. (The word spread early
through our office that, we •could
have three sections to fill this
week!)
And I'mnot in my own office-
theone I share with the young and .
talented Ron Shaw. We've been
temporarily dispossessed.
because the office is , being
.remodelled;
Itis really a long story which I
think I.'11 share with you. You see,
when the management decided we
were changing machinery. it was
.decided that..our office would .be
used as an interim typesetting
room. It was up to Ron and I to
move over to make'. room for a
'typist or two and some extra
maehin.ery,with.the result that our •
office looked like a disaster. area.
When' we were asked if this
interim arrangement would meet •
with our approval,.•I decided to use
some of my female trickery to
strike a bargain.. I suggested that
if, .when the .tib ohine.rY wa,S find l ly,,.
removed, ..the company would
agree to paint our office to take
away some of the drab
appearance, we would co-operate,
in whatever way was necessary.
The company agreed that the
office in which Ron and I worked
needed a paint job, So the bargain
was made and the machinery
moved in.
However, astethe days wore on
the hierarchy began to talk about
panelling instead of paint. While
the swing was on, Ron and 1 pushed
for some bulletin boards, some
shelving, some storage space and
maybe, another luxury -a clock.
You guessed it. Once the ball
was in motion the paint job had
grown to a somewhat 'major
project—but hardly before it was
needed.
Completion date was set for
Monday. Any of you who call on
Ron or I in the future will be
requested to notice the improved
surroundings and mention ° how
attractive they are.
Inthemeantime, Rdn and I are
' occupying Mr. Shrier's office.
Accidentallyclal by design,. I
don't know—Mr. Shrier is away
for a few days. I'm using -his desk
and chair. I wonder. If I sit here
long enough will .1 get taller and
slimmer?

Before 1 forget to mention it, I
$d want yin 'hll to remember
