Editor, The Huron' Expositor:.
Every reporter; or public office
holder,. likes' to hear from his
"audience" once-in-avviele, wheth-
er it be favorable or. critical. It
is only in, this way he may judge
whether or not his efforts to write,
infirm, entertain or to serve, are
interesting.
Well, in, the almost total absence
of letters from Canada since No-
vember, I had juS‘about decided
to "throw in the towel" --"the folks
are getting tired of Ink stuff," I
concluded.
And, then the maama n (with a
neighbor's' dog trying to" get a
meat breakfast out of- his leg)
turned- in -and -left me -four letters
from' the Dominion. Three of
these -told of enjoying the yarns
spin; one was 'unsigned, except
for 'Age 22", -and he hinted rather
vigoransly that.,all we- elderly folks
should find a deep well..and jump
,I must admit 1 liked the first
three ' letters,, these assuring me
that ,many people "looked for my
stories and enjoyed them." _But I
also liked the fourth letter,. even
if "Age 22", as he signs himself,
did really take -me elder girls and
boys to the hilltop and push-irs""
We took young Hugh down to, the
city to compete in the ig music
festival last week. The idea was
that it would be geed 'experience
for ihim to come up against ;some
topnotch talent. It didn't seem to
affect, him one way or the other,
but by the time we got home, hp
mother looked ten years older"; and
I felt exactVc4as I- used to feel at
the end of -a seven -days -leave wben
I was a youagand foolish fighter
Taking a kid 'Wipe -city for a
music festival cornpares',, I should
think, . with taking a ride in 'the
pouchof a lady `kangaroo who is
going at -full gallop.- ,It's hard on
the pocket; you get `i"V:ery fleeting
view of the world about you, and
you alternat,betWeen -airy flights
* * *
Music festivals, as all parents
of perforniers know, are among
the most gruesome,,tortures devis-
ed by Canadian • society. This 'one
,was no exception. The gloomy; i11
lit church. :The -hard seats. The
-
mothers ofperformers, hair askew,
eyes wild, madly gnawing off -their
lipstick. The little girls, giggling,
fidgeting and flipphig „ their pony
tails about. The little boys, . sol -
emit and silent desperately knead-
ing their knuckles.
• But there's the sheer nervous
terror of the ordeal itself. You
alternate between pity and delight
when the other kids make a mess
of their piece. -Then the- siidden,
savage twist of your stomaCh as
your own marches up, white as a
list.And the black despair Oen
he falters,. the flare of -hope when
he' finishes with:a flourish.
Then the let-down,while, the ad-
judicator'seribbles his notes,' and"
p arcnts hiss back and forth: as-',
sessing and guessing and trYing
to reassure each other that their
prodigy isn't really in the running,
,while -they ' Secretly hope for a
miracle. • • _
• 'r* *
;Then -the•
sudden seizure of heart
as the adjudicator asks a few. Of
_the kids to Play over again, and
yours is one of them. The horror
aS your, genius- makes a blotch :of
his second performance' and the
others all play it better than they
did the first time.

ed hysteria- as - you realize your
own might, just might, Mahe the
grade. And the wild delight as
you watch the little guy march up,
and get .hiS 'certificate for first,
second or third place.
Then the grea.t relaxed feeling:
when it's all over. And you're'
chattering like a psychopath. And,
you feel like a piece of damp cello-
phane. And you , keep' assuring,' .
each other, 'and the kid, that win-
