Hypocrisy —I It’s Still Here With Us

THERE IS one type among
the species Man that puzzles
and saddens me.

Inanage that congratulates
itself on its openness, its
honesty, its ‘Let it all hang
out” attitude, the hypocrite is
still very much with us,

Some people might’ think
the 39th century was the
golden age. of hypocrisy.
Certainly, it set some high
standards in this line.

‘There were the manu-
facturers who preached en-
lightenment and progress on
the one hand, and on the
other worked children 60
hours a week in their
factories.

There were the men who
brayed of chastity as one of
the prime virtues, and dallied
with prostitutes. There were
the men who spoke glowingly
of a gentler way of life, and
set savage fighting dogs on
‘one another. The list is
endless.

And the women! Oh, but
weren't they the hypocrites,
too? Just as tough and
voracious as any woman of
today, they hid these traits
behind a facade of gentility,
humility, helplessness and
fainting fits.

It was an era in which the
public mouthing of the
Christian virtues was only
exceeded by the private
materialism, corruption, and
sometimes downright vicious-
ness of the middle and upper.
classes,

Well, then, have we got rid
of this particularly obnoxious
type, well into the second half
of the 20th century? Not
bloody likely!

Perhaps we're not quite as
hypocritical as the Victorians,
but] wouldn't want to bet on
it, All that’s changed is the
terms of reference.

No manovfacturer today
could get away with hiring
children. But don’t think
they're any less heartless than
their forebears, At least, in
the 19th century, you knew
the boss was a bastard. To-
day, a company can “'reor-
ganize,”” and turn half adozen

Woodward's Man Takes
lt Right on the Chin

Don't mess''with a gas
jockey. You could end up with
pie in your ear.

Doug Smith messed with a |

“gas jockey.

Doug is the manager of
Woodward's Park Royal store.
Recently he went to Wood-
ward's Vancouver store for an
executive meeting. His car

needed filling so he pulled into ©

the store's pumps and waited
for service.

And waited. And waited.

“About 15 minutes, I
guess," he said, While
motorists pulled into the other
gas island and were served.by
the young gas jockey and went
on their way.

Doug finally left his car
and accosted the young man
and suggested it was his turn

* by now,

“—— off," said the youth,
“you'll get gas when I’m ready
and not before.”

“But I've been waiting,”
Doug explained.

“And you can bloody-well
wait,” the lad replied.

Mr. Smith sought manage-
ment intercession which ended
with the lad, apparently re-
nowned of late for his lip to

He sought Doug out at
Park Royal the next day.

“I was going toa funeral,”
Mr, Smith said, “heading out
the back way.

“Suddenly I heard the
sound of running feet, and my
name being called.

“So I turned around.”

from their own fathers before
they’d even carry out the
ashes.

We have school trustees
who will double over in an
agony of glec after hearing a
filthy joke, but in public
sternly deplore the ‘‘porno-
graphy" children are being
exposed to in.their school
literature.

They are the type who will
respond with chuckles and
even belly laughs to the sexual
Ieers of Norman Lear in
Maude and All in the Famity,
but thunder fulminatingly
against a fine novel like The
Diviners by Margaret
Laurence,

They are the type who don't
want anything racier than
“The Bobbsey Twins" taught
in school, but will shout with
ribald laughter at smut on
television and take in every
restricted movie in town,
laughing when there is blood-
shed on the screen, and
nudging heavily when. -a
couple of naked bodies start
squirming on the celluloid
strip.

What about today's wo +
men? Are they less hypo-
critical than their great-
grandmothers? On the whole,

* I'd say yes. They're just as
blasted irritating as ever, but
they're more honest. They
still cry for no apparent
Teason, but they know there's
no percentage in pulling a
faint. They’d probably just
get aglass of water in the face.

But even the women are a

fong way fram being out of -

the woods, when it comes to
hypocrisy. And many of the
biggest hypocrites are “‘sur-
face’ feminists. They .want
all the perks of the new free-
dom, and all the treats of the
‘old ‘‘essence of woman.”

Oh, well, ‘Let him who is
without sin cast the first
stone.” I'm certainly not
talking about me and thee,
gentle reader. But aren't you
a little sick of them — all
those hypocrites?
