Switch jobs weekly
I'm not much of a one for
special weeks. It's not that.I
don't approve wholehearted-
ly of National Cat Week or
National Sauerkraut Week.
Though I'd just as soon tickle
a snake's belly, I'll scratch a
cat's ear if I have to, and I'll
choke down a forkful of
sauerkraut, though I'd enjoy
a mouthful of mouldy moss
equally well.
It's just that I don't be-
come aware of them until
they're all over. By the time
I realize it's National Fire-
works Week, and have writ-
ten a hot editorial about it,
we're right into National
Fire Prevention Week, and
there I am, telling everybody
to run around with a match
in his hand, sending off
rockets.
All this preamble, as any
idiot child could guess with
one head,. tied behind his ..
back, is merely a crafty way
of leading up to my nomina-
tion for a special week. I'm
fed up with everybody being
fed up with his job, and wish-
"' ing"'he, or she, could do
---something else, that looks
twice as rosy.
For example, a butcher
wants to be a surgeon be-
cause he believes he was cut
out to cut up, there's more
money in it, and anyhow, it's
easier. A dentist thinks he'd
make a dandy politician, but
he hasn't got the pull. A
street cleaner wants to join
the air force, because he
knows how to pilot. If you are
now whimpering for mercy,
I'll tell you about National
Switch Jobs Week.
Here's how it works. Once
a year, for a full week, each
of us has a chance to tackle
that job we know we should
be doing if an evil fate hadn't
tossed us into our present
rut. It might be a mite con-
fusing, but look at the fun
we'll have. Best time to have
this special week would be
right about now, when
everybody is completely
browned off with wihter.
Say you're a hydro lines-
man, and you think teachers
have it so much better. Nice
warm classroom, when
you're out in a piercing wind.
Snug in bed at night, when
you're called out to fumble
with a broken line after the
sleet storm. Hours nine to
four, and two months' holi-
days. Well, all you do is take
over a classroom during Na-
tional Switch Jobs Week.
There'll be no trouble getting
a classroom, because all the
teachers will have switched
jobs with truck drivers, be-
cause the latter make more
money, according to the'
teachers.
And there'll be no shortage
of truck driving jobs, be-
cause all the truck drivers
will be working in factories,
as they're sick of being away
from home so much. And
there'll be no lack of factory
jobs, as all the ordinary
hands will be moiling up into
the executive offices, where
the work is so much easier
and the money so much bet-
ter. Naturally, there'll be a
lot of executive vacancies,
because all the bosses are
sick of the tension and re-
sponsibility and all they
want to do is have a little
farm of their own, where
they can get back to the
simple life, sleep nights
without sedatives, and con-
quer their ulcers.
Farms? There'll be lots of
them. The farmers will all be
taking over stores, so they
can sit around on their fat
butts all day like the mer-
chants, and watch the bank
balance grow. The stores
will all be available, of
course, because all the mer-
chants will be away sailing
on the Great Lakes where

See how simple it is? It

tresses,.agd all the -actresses
would be able to revert to
being the simple little house-
wives they are at heart, with
eighty -dollar aprons tied be-
comingly over their bull-
fighter's pants.
Personally, I'm going to
put in for a preacher's job
during the grand switch.
Work one day and spend the
rest of the week drinking tea
and shooting the breeze with
jolly old ladies who are only
too glad to help you run the
church. You can't beat that
for an easy living.
Well, how does it strike
you? Myself, I think it's the
greatest idea since psychia-
try was invented. One week's
dose of the other fellow's job,
once a year, would sweep
away all the envy, malice
and boredom that afflicts the
human race.
I. can just see them at the
",,l sr their week. The hydro

would kiss the first cow he
saw when he got home. The
merchant would hum a
merry tune as he gaily
punched out the accompani-

Friend housewife would be
so glad to get out of that gir-

Arid yours truly would be
