EDITORIAL
By ART ELLIOTT
Job Never Had It So Bad
The Biblical character of whom we think, had
a rough time, it must be admitted. But that was
long before the days of weekly newspapers. Boils
and ja77 like that he endured unflinchingly, but
how would the good man stand up under the
pressure of putting out an eight-page sheet in Bay-
f ield?
Would he crack if put on the receiving end of
three letters in six days from a woman whose
paper was inadvertently missed on the mailing list?
Would he have persevered on being confronted with
the revelation that one of his best advertisers had
not received his paper for two weeks? Would he
have quailed or flinched on discovering a typo-
graphical error in the ad of his largest single space-
buyer?
How would the old gentleman have coped with
arriving at the post office with the week's issue
five minutes after closing time? How many of those
gummed labels could he pass over his tongue with-
out gagging, having nothing else to moisten them
on in such a dry climate?
How could he face a social editor who prefaces
every greeting with "I've got a bone to pick with
you"?
Job lived long before the "slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune" and much longer before the
vicissitudes of those poor wretches who tap a type-
writer for their cakes and ale.
Job was one of the lucky ones.

Russell Baker did a piece in the New York
Times a few years ago on double talk that tickles
us every time we hark back to it. One of the blights
on the language of Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
is the curious patois of the American (and Cana-
dian) bureaucrat, adman and psychiatrist, "those
masters of the fluent cliche ,the deceptive euphem-
ism, the meaningless polysylabic, and pompous
argot" to quote the National Society for the Pre-
servation of the English Language to Say What
You Mean. Baker translates or defines some of the
words as follows:
IMPLEMENT, v. (bureaucratese) what you do
to carry out a decision, policy or program when you
are doing nothing.
FINALIZE, v. (bureaucratese) signifying for-
mal adoption of a decision, policy or program with
tacit agreement that it will be given a quiet burial,
or "Implemented".
CONFORMIST, n. Anyone who does not take
exception to the same things you do.
JUVENILE DELINQUENT, n. (1) youth head-
ed for an Elvis Presley concert with a WO bail
bond; (2) your neighbor's child.
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT — (ad-
vertising phrase) euphemism for sales talk read into
forty million deserted living rooms while folks out
in Televisionland put fresh heads on beer.
