TOM BROWNE, author of our fiction story this month, Terry's Decision, has been involved with the publishing trade since he was 13. His first job at that tender age found him working full-time in a weekly newspaper office and job printing plant. He's followed the trade ever since, with periodic escapes to house-building, cascara bark gathering, canoeing, salmon taste that fishing, and as many hours outdoors as he could manage. He's kind of nuts about rain and snow and wind and sun. Tom's a 'HAftVGOUvQy' grandfather now, and he still writes articles and fiction when the urge hits him. Most of all, he enjoys boy characters. As flavour he says, "Boys are most important people."

16 CANADIAN BOY ICYCLES! Who cares about them any more? B What's the point to a set of wheels without a motor? Why bother with an old fashioned turtle-type machine that has trouble going fast enough to get out of its own way? If you think bicycles are dull, don't bet on it! Fantastic as it sounds, bicycles have been pedalled at speeds well over one hundred miles an hour! It's done with a special trick called "drafting." Nope, we're not going to explain it any further, because some of you would rush right out and try it. That's a miserable idea unless you happen to be a bicycle expert, first class. Upset a bicycle at a hundred miles an hour and the odds are high you're dead. Bicycle racing is still an important sport in many countries and, in Europe, top cyclists are highly honored athletes. The sport also has many fans in Canada, particularly in Quebec. Few sights are more exciting (or dangerous) than half a dozen fast bike racers, heads down, legs pumping, streaking toward the finish line with scant inches separating their speeding machines. Bicycles tame? Hardly. It takes a strong, tough, quick, brave athlete to ride a bicycle well. There's extra satisfaction in getting your speed by your own sheer muscle power, rather than having a gasoline engine do all the work.

26 CANADIAN BOY With this new series, we hope to keep you informed on what it takes to make up the total appearance of today's young man. What is it that makes the way he looks say to others: "There goes a young man with good taste, and the sense to avoid looking ridiculous!"? Let's make it clear, right now, that good sense doesn't necessarily mean being a conformist or a dull unimaginative clod. What sets a well-groomed person apart from the crowd is a total picture of how he takes advantage of his assets and plays down his weak points. For example: If you have healthy hair that looks good long and neatly combed, that's fine. But if you have a small face, too much hair would tend to hide your features and spoil your general appearance. We'll touch on hair styling later in this series. Color is another aspect of good grooming that points you out as a man of good taste. You choose colors that are right for you, not simply because everyone is wearing them in some far-fetched combination. Although, we must admit, there is far more freedom in the mixing of colors today than ever before! Certainly, you are in a lucky generation, lucky to be living in an age when men are coming out of their dull, drab suits into the bright light of color. There was a time when the human male, like the males of the bird species, was the one with the colorful plumage. It was the man who wore the brocade and the ruffles and the rich velvets and wigs and powder,' while the ladies hid in quiet corners in their simple gowns. No longer does the male take a back seat in the sport• ing of color. Kesfes.working Until the 1960s it was charcoal grey, navy blue, or jet black for men.
