Like everybody else, I'm
sweltering in the heat these days.
It is 90 degrees and hotter most
of the time lately except for the '
midnight hours and I'm getting
edgy because of it.
I met one chap on the street
who was mopping the perspirat-
ion from his brow and looping
as though he'd just stepped out
of a steam tent.
I'm not going to complain, "
he told me. "I promised myself
last January that if it ever got
warn again, I was going to
not complain about the heat.
And I'm going to keep my word.
I will not complain."
Well, I like my weather a
little more moderate and since
no one really suffers if 1 complair
about the conditions outdoors, I
intend to keep beefing. It is the
only consolation an old woman
gets these days.
I'm amazed at the way differ-
ent people react to heat, aren't
you.
Take my five-year-old, for
instance. He thrives in heat.
He never seems to notice it. He
plays out in the boiling sun as
vigorously as if it was a balmy
75 degrees and though there are
little beads of sweat on his
forehead, he is content in the
sunlight with only the occasional
iced drink to carry him through.
Last night, it was so humid

and sticky -hot that no one -ex-
cept our youngest - could get to
sleep. But it was no trick for
the little guy to get off to slumb-
erland. Iie climbed into his
flannelette pyjamas and pulled
all the covers up around him and
went fast asleep in no time flat.
My husband urged him to at
least remove his PJ top. He ref-
used. He even balked at the sug-
gestion that the covers on the
bed be folded down to the foot -
end for the night.
" I'm cold, " he told us stubborn-
ly.
And then there are the folks
like my next door neighbor who
never give any indication by
their appearance that they are
warm. There is no moisture on

the brow, no stringy hairs, no
clammy hands. In fact, on the
hottest day in summer, my
neighbour looks as though she just
emerged from a cooling bath.
"How do you stay looking so
crisp and cool, " I asked her the
other day. "I'm blessed hot, I
think I'll faint and you'd think
you had your own inner air-cool-
ing system."
"Oh I feel the heat terribly, "
she said. "But I just keep running
cool water over my wrists and I
manage to keep ralatively comf-
ortable. You should try that,
Shirley. It works wonders."
Somewhere from the resources
of my mind, I recall that little
trick. It was in the same article
where it was advocated to keep
your cologne in the refregerator
during the hot weather, to put on
fresh underwear morning, after-
noon and evening, and to drink
plenty of iced tea and rest in a
shady spot.
I remember reading that item
during a lunch break on a blist-
ering hot summer day 15 years
ago when I was hoeing white
beans for a living. I remember
telling my husband that a lady
of leisure could keep cool and
lovely while those of us who
were less fortunate had to suffoc-
ate in the sunshine.
He was helpful as I recall.
"Hoe early in the morning and
late at night, " was his suggest-
ion.
And I just cannot for the life
of me understand those fellows
and gals (mostly gals) who prost-
rate themselves in the sun on a
beach for hours on end during a
hot day. There they recline,
scantily clad with the sun's rays
beating and burning onto and
into every inch of skin.
Sun -worshippers, I think they
used to call them, claim they
enjoy wilting on the sand. They
say they become golden brown
and somewhat immune to the
heat. I'd find it pure torture.
Somehow I think I'd rather sweat
it out in the shade somewhere.
At least when it cooled down,
your body still wouldn't be afire.
And last but not least, I really
dig those air-conditioned offices
and stores where the employees
run around shivering and sweat-
ered, even though the temperat-
ure soars to the high 80's and
low 90's outside.
"It is too cold in here to be
healthy, " they say, "I'd rather
put up with the heat than be
comfortable in here. I think I'm
getting the sniffles."
