In an age that congratulates itself on its openness, its honesty; its "Let it all hang out" attitude, the hypocrite is still very much with us. , Some people might think the 19th century was the golden age of hypocrisy. Certainly, it set some high standards in this line. -- There were thd" manufacturers who preached enlightenment and progress on the one hand, and on the other worked children 60 hours a week in theirfac- tories. There Were the men who brayed of chastity as onedf the prime virtues, and dallied with prostitutes. There were the men who spoke glowingly of a gentler way oflike, and set savage. fighting dogs on one . another. The list is en- dless. ' And the . women! Oh, but weren't they the hypocrites,' too? Just as tough and voracious' as any woman of. today, they hid these traits :behind ,a facade of gentility, humility, helplessness and fainting fits. ft was anera in which the public - mouthing of the Christian virtues was• only exceeded by the .private materialism,, corruption, and sometimes downright viciousness of the middle and upper classes. Well, then, have we got rid of this particularly obnoxious type, well into the second half of the '20th century? Not bloody likely! Perhaps we're not quitee as hypocritical as the Vic- torians, but I wouldn't want to bet on it., All that's changed is the terms of reference. No manufacturer today could get away with hiring` children. But don't think they're any .less heartless than their forebears. At least,. in the 19th century, you knew the boss was a bastard. Today, a company can "reorganize," and•turn half a dozen middle-aged men into the street by alis" "executive decision." Many re en intoday's society still practise a double standard, one for themselves, one for their wives. A- man who gets drunk has had -"a few too many." A woman who gets drunk is "disgusting." A man can go to a business convention and have a little fling with a call girl. If his wife kisses a couple of guys at the New Year's' Eve party -a bit too warmly, she's a sex maniac. We have politicians who spout of peace and planfor war, doctors who preach against drugs and tell you cigarettes will kill you, even as they butt their .50th coffin nail of the day and pop a couple of bennies to keep going. We have pillars of the church whom you wouldn't trust .as far as you could' REALTY 38 East Si:, Goderich 524=8100 or 524-9131 BEST HOME VALUES RESIDENTIAL DAWNROSE DRIVE - Fisher homes, 3 new models, custom built.

We. have all kinds of characters who will cheat on their income tax, and then berate people oz1 welfare for "ripping off the govern- ment." We have teachers who "Can't 'understand the at- titude of . young people today," completely forgetting that they themselves were insolent, lazy, and not even that bright when they were young people. • We have mothers who got in the family way at 19, and'had a shot -gun niarriage, bewailing.. the "sexual licence” of their daughters. We have... fathers . who deplore at length the sloth- fulness of their sons, con- veniently ignoring that they had to have a good boot -in the,. tail from their own fathers before they'd even carry out the ashes. We have school trustees who will double over in an agony of glee after hearing a filthy •joke, but in. public sternly deplore • the "por- nography" children are being exposed to in their school fiterature. They are the type who will respond with chuckles, and even' belly laughs to the sexual leers of Norman Lear in Maude and All • in. the Family, but, thunder. fulminatingly against a fine novel --like The Diviners by Margaret Laurence. They are the type who don't want anything racier than • "The Bobbsey Twins" taught -in school, but will shout with ribald •laughter at smut on. television and take in every restricted movie in town,, laughing • when there is bloodshedon the screen, and nudging heavily when a couple of naked bodies start squirming on the celluloid strip. What about to'day's women? Are they less hyprooritical than their great-grandmothers? On the whole, I'd say yes. They're just as' blasted irritating as ever, but they're more honest. They stillcry for no apparent reason, but they know there's no percentage in pulling a faint. They'd probably just get a glass of. water inthe face. But even the women are a long way from ,being out of the woods, when it comes to hypocrisy,. And manyof the •, biggest hypocrites are "surface" feminists. They want all the perks of the new freedom, and all the treats of the old "essence of woman." Qh well, "Let him who is ' without sin cast the first stone." I'm certainly not talking about me and thee, gentle reader. But areh't you a little sick of them - all those hypocrites? UNICEF greetings.... (continued from page 18) -and maintained in each village of 500 people in the State of Tamil Nadu in the southeast region of 'India. Thus, 500,000 people will benefit. In addition to the CIDA grant, this project has also been supported by a grant from the Alberta Committee for International Co-operation. In Bolivia, UNICEF. Canada is improving and expanding the coverage of potable 'water supplies and sanitation facilities in. highly-- dispersed ighly—dispersed villages, having fewer than.2;000 inhabitants. Some 90,000 rural peasants will benefit. 150 sites have been sur- veyed for water in the nor- thern provinces of Mozam- bique wherethere is a serious. lack of adequate water supplies. UNICEF Canada is providing the. necessary handpumps which will serve 100,000 people with up to 50 litres of water a day per person. In Bangladesh, the in- troduction of manually operated handpumps . will improve the, irrigation potential of many areas and could considerably help ease the food crisis over the next decade. UNICEF Canada has undertaken the task of sur- veying areas suitable for this. type ofirrigation, and responsibility for •in- vestigating modifications to make the handpump more suitable. Martin Beyer, UNICEF's Advisor on Drinking Water Programmes, whose work has brought him into close contact with hundreds,' of villagers, has 'been deeply moved by the sense of hope and excitement when villagers begin to see that clean water is making their children healthier and more mentally alert.

"Never again." (Next year„ we'll get it all done earlier, won't we?) , Those two words—"Never again" -we say to•ourselves almost every year. How did we ever squeeze in the time to get greeting cards into the mail for those almost -forgotten friends? How did we ever manage to buy those last half-dozen presents, let alone get them wrapped? Christmas is. surely a most wonderful and exciting and stimulating and inspiring' season. Yet, it can sometimes become hectic and nerve-wracking. When this happens, the real joy of the season can easily be Inst. Obviously, the only remedy is time, itself — time to plan properly for all of the many aspects of Christmas. Time to eliminate those frantic 'last minute" preparations. That's why, this year, gift suggestion advertising will begin early, co let us know earlier about the wide'and wonderful range of choices available to us. • That's why, this year, hundreds. of mailmen at the postofficewill be thankful' for those extra, early days. That's why, this year, thousands of salesclerks will be better able to serve us, without the extra harassment of last-minute purchases caused by a' shopping season which .otherwise would have been shortenedby almost., week. That's why, this year, all of us will be able to spend more • time enjoying the really significant things of the • r 'Christmas season that have to do with home and children and church. . • A few extra days can'mean so much., So let's all relax, and take a little more time. Then the 1968 Christmas shopping season will be a time of greater, friendliness and more fun'— and certainly no less inspiring. or personally rewarding.
