It was faintly such exhibitions, and consisted in the main of the work of earnest amrteurs and the product of sur- plus feminine enemy.

their spare time. Only a negligible six per cent were undecided as to how they would use it if they had twice as much more time as they now have.

Moat popular spare time relaxation of Canadians (they oay)-' is reading—a statement which conflicts with the fact that in a typical week of March, 1045. the Gallup Pol] found that 80 per cent‘ of adult Canadians were not reading, nor had read. a book in that period. Answer may lie in the fact that predominant reading would consist of newspapers and other periodicals. ‘

Next to reading, say Canadians in this survey. they like listen-

ing to the radio.

' The Gallup Poll interviewers across Canada started tho survey by asking a sample of typical Canadians;

"Which of these do you like to do Most in your spare time?"

The person being interviewed was then shown a list o! some nlnt: pastimes, and given a chance to mention any others not on the list. Here, then, is how Canada likes to Ipend its oparo time:

Reading . Liistening to radio Visiting friends Going to movies Playing cords Sports (participating) Parties; dancing; etc. Sports (spectator) Using, or working on. Other . “Have no spare time"

I The column adds to snore than 100 per cent because some people gave more than one answer. ' Then came the question, asked of all except those who claimed they had no spare time:

"Do you ever find yourself not knowing what to do in your spare

time?" Often 5 % Sometimes 17 Rarely 12 Never 32

Are women busier than men? So they claim. Only 57 per cent 0T the men interviewed said they never found themselves without any- hlng to do, while 67 per cent of the women claimed the same thing. i

To the final question: "If you were to get twice as much spare “m” I" W" M" MW» 110W d0 Y0" "link You WouIdIusa it?” only six lper cent could not give an answer. Largest number of the remainder said they would visit friends. followed closely by reading.

The survey boils down to the fact that few Canadians think they

have too much time on their hands, or that they would not know what to do with any more. _
