NORMA SIEBERT, B.A., Woman's Page Editor) One thing that goes as far it once did is dust tracked by the family. * :k * ON HOUSECLEANING Its funny how men hate house - as in, cleaning time, in view of the fact that it is the women who do all the work, How they hate that one night when the children's furniture jammed into the bedroom makes it necessary to climb over the end of the bed, or when they can't locate their favourite cush- ion to tuck behind their backs as they watch TV. "Why do you have to tear every- thing up ?" they protest. "Don't you clean every week? Besides, it doesn't look one bit different to me when you are finished," You don't even attempt a reply to this discouraging remark. You know it is all too true. It really doesn't look a great deal different THE PRICE OF GOOD LIVING CANADIANS are still enjoying the world's second highest standard of living. They can do this because of the contribution of manufacturing to our national progress and prosperity. Perhaps Canadians can buy some things cheaper elsewhere than in Canada. But if they are not willing to pay Canadian prices for Canadian products, our own workers will not for long be able to receive Canadian wages. Nor will Canadian governments receive the tax revenues they require to sustain Canada's welfare programmes. There is a price to pay for everything, including the Canadian standard of living.

Only you can know, that it is clean behind the picture and un- der the 'frig and the electric stove. How could you explain to a mere male that it "smells" dif- ferent? I like to put a drop or two of lysol in my wash -water just to get that clean, hospital odour. To me, this, combined with that intangible sweetness that seems to cling to drapes and bed- ding freshly aired in the spring sunlight, combined with furniture polish and fresh wax, make a com- bination which surpasses Chanel No. 5. Only another woman will under- stand the satisfaction of kicking off one's shoes, at the end of a big day and leaning back in an easy chair. Just to close one's eyes and see those freshly lined drawers with their neat piles of sweaters and summer underwear and know the winter ones are safely packed away for another year is salve for a tired back. One of the things that make housecleaning hardest is thinking about it. Each year we think we just can't live through it and each year once we get into the swing, we find it is not quite as bad as we anticipated. So now, with spring just around the corner, how about it, girls ? Ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in ? * * THE GROWN-UP'S HOUR Between the winter and summer When the mercury is starting to climb, Comes a stir in the year's occupa- tion That is known as "House -Clean- ing Time." I roll up my sleeves with a fervor, And round up the brushes and brooms, And out of the clouds of confusion Emerge the immaculate rooms. PAGE MUM Oh, let me survey for a moment The fruits of my labors, and then, I'll give the house back to the family, To mess up all over again. --Janet Henry, * * * 'TEEN TOPICS You girls hate the word "house- cleaning," almost as much as your fathers do. Most of the year Mom. keeps hands off as far as your possessions go. Why it is that she thinks she can sieve through your drawers at house-cleaning time you'll never understand, They may look riled up to her, but you know where you put everything and that should be all that mat- ters. If she throws out all your Presley pictures and that fuschia coloured lipstick this time, she can just root around through the waste -paper and find them again. Well, there is a simple solution to this problem, girls. Why not suggest it yourself ? While she washes the curtains, bedding, etc,, you could go ahead washing the windows, woodwork and floors yourself. Of course, its best to get suggestions as to the right cleaning material to use, but the method just boils down to using the old arm muscles until every- thing is clean. "But it is my holiday," you protest. True, you shouldn't be ex- pected to spend it all this beauti- ful spring weather inside helping house -clean. But did you ever ask yourself, "When does Mom get her holidays ?" e When In Zurich' GET YOUR HAIR CUT AT EARL OESCH BARBER SHOP Open Thursday and Saturday Nights Busy Peo le save and MQ0NEY a ...'MY BHT 10 0 N(l /ON CANA AN!
