Two Ways Of Life
It seems. to . me that, despite
the' inroads made by .easy com-
munications and transportation;
the ancient • mistrust between.
rural.dweller and city dweller is ,
still very much alive. Each feels
thatthe other is out to skin 'him
at the first .opportunity. , •Each,
expresses its in • scorn . for :the
other's way of , life,
"I wooden live in the Biddy if
'yagimme. .the . wholelousy .mess
on a silver platter," snorts your
smalltown neighbor.
This. ;statement, ee.hoed from
.coast to coast,• is usually fol
lowed by a , bitter . diatribe
against "city living." High rents,
crippling taxes, heavy traffic,
smog and unfriendliness come.

up your. family, try to pay'your
bills, and `get so soon Old, so
late, smart.
On most matters, I take a •
;'stand.' But in the. denunciation
of the .' other fellow's mode of
life,' I take •tiivo stands, •
The first; is gentleagreement
with my 'smalltown friends. 'I go
along with. the belligerent area:.
Tent that the city is no 'placeto
live; . that I'd hate to battle that
traffic everyday; that living is
cheaper /in a smaller centre;
that ourair is a lot cleaner; that
it's, wonderful to live within five
minutes Whiling, curling, golf
and friends.
And when I'm listening to
some old buddy who lives in the
city and loves it, 1 nod sagely
when he -declares the city is an
•exciting place to live; •that it's
wondepfel to take in all the
shows and concerts; • that ,it's
grand to go out for an' exotic
meal in a fascinating place, with
'
go-go girls and stuff; that the
smalltown doesn't provide the
same •
e
'cultural ur
al opportunities, for
Privately, 1 chuckle at both
points of view. Both are full of
contradictions.
The city fellow, claims there's
•
no' privacy. in ,"a small town. Ev,
ery old biddy in WWII knows
your business. The , smslltoe►n
'chap .explodes, "Privacy! .bow+

whin ` you're . stuffed into. a
crowded apartment building,. or' •

side people you don't like :who
have 'horrible kids?" ._
The smalltown • fellow raves
about. the mythical "rat -race" in
the city. And goes out and roars
around in service clubs and fra-
ternal• organizations and :athletic.
clubs: and church groups at a
rateno city rat could stand for

The myths. multiply. The city
stands for culture. And in a city '
of. a .million; theatres are' half
empty, 'concerts play to small
crowds, "good •. restaurants go
broke, a few hundred attend art
exhibitions.
The small town stands -for
recreation and good living, And
in ' a : small. town, .one-tenth of

hunting and so on that's at the
front door: The rest are doing,
what the cityfolk do:. drink,
these ;women. or men,or sit`
around' watching the slop -on

When we drive to the city, as
we do almost every Saturday.for

whole business is. brought 'into

people going north for -the

swimming or the scenery.
• They :don't even wave to each
other. If it's so great at home,
why don't they stay there? . ,
And do you know what they
say when they get home after
'the weekend? "Bey, it's nice to
be home. It was a ,great week

Please underline the right word.
