Well as difficult as that may be to believe, it does happen. And for good reason. You see,men avidly scrutinize women's rear contours because study of the bottom gives one the ability to read the character and personality of that person. And that statement is backed up by a group of behavioral scientists who have conducted ex- tensive research into the matter. . And you thought we were simply a lecherous lot with a fetish or licentious eye. Not so,ladies, our motives are purely platonic. These scientists have laid bare the male secret. It is essential to carefully study the female curves to get a good look at the person inside. Good curves don't always lend themselves to compatibility.

Based on the perception of over 300 people, the company concluded there was a link between the shape of a person's bottom and their personality. The group noted 11 distinct buttock types including neurotic, abhorent, sexy, alcoholic, lazy, liberal and ex- trovert. The different types and their relating shapes were copied on a handy chart making it easy to identify a person's personality at a mere glance. Just hjw one would detect an alcoholic bum from a sexy one is beyond my grasp...er, observation but perhaps 1 just need more field work in this aspect of psychology. And it's not just men who have taken up with bums. In a survey in Psychology Today, more women in- dicated a preoccupation with their buttocks than any other part of their body. It found that 43 per cent of the women were dissatisfied with their bottoms and only 29 per cent of the men exptressed displeasure with their posteriors. The survey showed that women are also taken in by mens buttocks and in a survey named it as one of the most attractive of men's features, right next to bulging wallets. So anyguy that has a fair sized wallet to slip into a pocket next to a great set of buns has it made., To be honest that "leaves me somewhere in left field but I never figured my rens end played an integral part in mating habits. But what little is there seems to do the job. Our behavioral scientists claim that women with exceptionally pretty, well formed bottoms are active, intelligent and determined. Meh who are drawn to women with chubby cheecks are said to be obsessional, passive and guilt - prone, while those who have a distinct preference for undersized bottoms are non -sporting. Apparently bums don't lie. Have you ever wondered what your bum is telling the world?' Frankly, I had never given it any thought, but no one has engaged me in conversation concerning same, so I think its safe to assume my rear is somewhat shy and reserved. But this newsy bit bears more significance for males with a keen or wandering eye. It is now safe to study women's posteriors under the guise of psychological research without the act being labelled as perversion. And let's faceit, the only reason we would think of casting an innocuous glance the odd time is in the interest of exploring a woman's personality. That's just the way men are. Psychology has never held any special interest for me but you have to admit there is progress being made. the1 SIGNAL—STA 132—FEAR 15 GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1979 SECOND SECTION Happiness is building a o oll house for Ruth BY JOANNE "I'm a doting grand- is not going lc be just house ' opens up as a one row is complete, he BUCHANAN father," he explains.

The house contains eight 'rooms altogether with both the outside front part and back part opening up on hinges to reveal these rooms.

These miniature shops are popular in the United States, "he says, and one could easily spend thousands of dollars •on furniture alone. "I didn't buy the really good furniture because I don't want Ruth to think it's too good to play with," h'e explains. Eventually he hopes to build all the furniture for t1 -.e house himself to replace the miniatures he has now. There is a wide hallway in the house with a staircase and • a large closet. The bathroom has a little sink, bathtub and toilet. The living room has a hook case, a piano and furniture upholstered in red velvet. It also features a bay window. All the windows irr the house have panes of hard clear plastic which can be lifted up and down just like real windows. They will all be draped and curtained.

Make it all the way through the rotten, stinking winter and then become the victim of a SPRING storm. I mean if you're going to freeze to death wouldn't it seem reasonable to perish after struggling for hours wading through waist deep snow trying to make it home after losing control of your car and parking it in a snow filled ditch. It would be far easier for me to ac - .sept death in the grip of a December storm than to have my blood turn to ice while I lay shivering in my own bed in April. As I lay there wishing Ontario Hydro would come good for the hundreds of dollars I sent them in the past few months I managed to find some solace in the fact that the fuel bill would not skyrocket as a result of the howling wends. I began to wonder if there was any trut to that saying that it's not nice to f of with Mother Nature. As th wind kept trying to put the bedroom window on the other side of the room I began to think about all those columns I wrote complaining about winter. My sentiments for the cold months of the year are no secret and I -began to wonder if Mother Nature was standing behind my house wearing an evil smile thinking "I'll get you with this one you whining....". But as the temperature continued to drop in the house I began to realize that something had to be done. I was con- sidering taking a cold- shower and running outside with nothing on. Sort of a mind over matter thing. You know. If you refuse to believe spring has been replaced by a blast of Arctic air arriving at 60 miles per hour it won't be so. But my wife brought me to my senses. - She suggested we go upstairs and pile some blankets on the kids..I suggested the captain wasn't going down with this ship and if the kids wanted more blankets they knew where they were. After all the only„thing between me and certain death was a sheet, blanket and comforter. Next thing I know the oldest of the two is standing beside the bed. She's not completely awake but she is a little chilly and as she asks what's going on with the temperature she's climbing over top of Her mother looking to sandwich herself between two slightly warm bodies. My wife took the situation in hand and set off upstairs to rescue the youngest from her crib. Figuring the child would he chilled she scooped her up, grabbed all the blankets she could find and came back to the bedroom. With four bodies crowded on a dduble bed and half a dozen blankets serving as a windbreak we all tried to grab a littre sleep. The kids had ria' trouble. They were in the warmest part of the bed. My wife was as far away from the window as she could get and still be in bed and dear old dad as perched, precariously on the edge of the mat tress, next to the window. It's lonely being a captain. I tried to guess at the time the next morning. I didn't want to get out frons under the covers and allow any heat to escape just to find my watch and discover it was too early for work. _Any thoughts of staying home from tete office were abandoned when.I opened the refrigerator for a little warm air, The kids were dressed in their snowsuits for breakfast. Mom and dad splashed a little cold water on their faces and it was off to town. You* can't imagine the relief I felt when I saw that the power was on at the office. That first cup of coffee was incredible. It was all I could do to keep from diving right into that cup to get warm. I heard on the radio that 5,000 rural hydro customers suffered through the blackout. I sympathized with them all but there was no way I was going home until that number was reduced to 4,999. jeff Seddon • .r.
