THE Win CLIFFS
Come to think of it, 22 shopping days brings the big PUR ONS day dangerously close and here we haven't single present
bought. 'Firm. about you The Christmas season probably AKERY •
bring; more headaches and long hours for ow' merchants
than any other time of the year. We arc sure that they like
the increased business but really, they don't have much
time to enjoy the holidays. Ti does seem rather trite to
say ''do your Christmas shopping early", but what else
can we say.

it seems to be an accepted fact that merchants area
fair game for everything that is going whether it's a tea,
bazaar or a team of some kind. If a retail merchant
expects to keep his customers, he finds it very hard in-
deed to refttse any einvasser "lit halipellS lit el'OSS his ,
threshold. These various donations bk.,eame so numerous;
in seine Of the IONVII and cities of the Yitited States, that,
they handed together and started a "Leave is Alone!
Week" when no solicitor or eanvas•-or dares to enter their.
premises.
This seems Wo- a good idea. as i1t),1 businessmen'
oltlll ;:tgret.-, 1,10 is really
ati011 OD the part 4 th e -..: welt n .a2•,./.iin4.- 'hut persistent
citizens would. help to env. ti-e' pr,l)l-tp. This, however,
in itself would no: Al i.- needed is an
org,aniz all,-m, something like the Red Feather which:
would solve the problem for ;gushI. Instead of being an
easy prey for every transient canvasser, 11 would then be
possible for the merchant to figure out how much he
could afford to donate to charity and pay it in one lump
51.1M of money or goods yearly. h`..very chili, organization
or group who desired a donation would then apply to the
central fund.
Think what this would mean in valuable time saved
and an evening out of the burden of giving, amongst all
store owners, instead of overloading a few unfortunates.
This plan should not stop at the merchants however.
It is our contention that because the benefit of these var-
ious donations goes to each and every citizen,, the load
should be distributed evenly throughout the community.
Because a storekeeper has goods on his shelves, why
should he be singled out to support every project in town
while the salaried man gets off scot-free? The merchant
is on the spot and he knows it. Shouldn't We all contri-
buteaccording to our means and keep the merchants from
having to declare .a "Leave Us Alone Week".

IN DEFENCE OF BACHELORS
During the course of the past week, several unkind
remarks have fallen on our ears, directed mainly at
bachelors. Our ire has been aroused and taking pen in
hand we are rising to the defence of all bachelors be they
short or tall, fat or thin, bald or woolly.
It is about time that the general public realized how
important bachelors are in our daily scheme of things.
Who, we ask von, pays the most income tax. Not the
married man—but the bachelor. We admit that it is a
very short jump from being a bachelor to ,a married man
but the difference is there all the same.

When the time comes for some entertainment such as
a banquet, party etc. the poor single man can't just calif
home and tell his wife to be ready, he- has to scurry-
around to find a blonde, a brunette or a red-head who
isn't doing anything on that particular night. It's really
quits' a bother. We know that the married men wonldn't
