and
By. Bill Smiley,
It may. seem.a very. poor
attitude; when the financial ex-
pert are crying blue ruin, the
newspapers • .are. demanding ac-
tion, the Prime ,Minister is run-
ning to the hoekshop, and .every-
body is 'being warned to tighten
his belt, but I'm • just about.. to
commence two months holidays.
There will. be . a short pause.
here while all- My old colleagues
in the weekly newspapers • vent
their feelings. I, can hear ' the
cries; just as well, as , though
they . were , in the ' •room, of;
"Good old Bill he deserves itr;
..and, `Congratulations, , old : boy,
1 hope you enjoy 'every' minvite
•of it!" and a few other ' things.;
Never mind, chaps, I know how
you . feel, and 'I ' appreciate it.
. But I can't help it. ;dust be-
cause
I decided. my true vocation
lay: in guiding young lives, in
'nurturing the tender plants of
our youth. in'brin in to bloom
the personalities of our richest
resource, there's •no need to
carry on so`
And Of course,you.' 'realize
that these 'holidays, 'are 'nothing
but..a nuisance to the dedicated
Pedant. We deeplydevoted' tea-
chers feel nothing but.. intense
irritation" at this,
• unfortunate te
summer interruption in:our call-
ing, ;caused .by ;the, absence ; :of
,pupils." Mostof, us' can scarcely'
• Wait for Labor Day to roll
around. After all,' You . can get
pretty sick of tramping' around'
some old golf course, day after
day, 'And you can . ,get mighty
bored just sitting, there in the
hot sun, drinking beer and pull
ing iri bass,
.**.c..
Perhaps my real' troubleis
that 'I'm, not used to' holidays.
,As ' any weekly editor can tell
you, •'they're almost non-existent'
in that game. In fact, I haven't
had .a decent holiday in the
last 1.5 years. I'm like a man
who, has never• been farther than
the next town, "and who : iso sud-
denly. offered > plane. '• ticket to
any place in' the.world he wants
to. go. ' He's ,bewildered: He's
scared. He doesril know what
to do with it.. • '
Because I. know it's ' going. to
be a traumatic. experience,` I've
had to do' 'a lot of:. careful plan-
ning. Otherwise, I just know
I'd crack up under the pressure
of all that free time. At first,,
I planned bitg: write a novel;:
take a trip to the West Coast,
,or the East Coast;. canoe through
Algonquin Park.
But . it wasn't ' .ling • until I
realized ..that sort of thinking
was pure . "escapism, . trying, as.
.it . Were, to deal with the gigan-
tic, tic, 'menacing, • vacation ;with. 'one
;blow. No, I had' to face up to it.
There was no easy way out I
knew I would ' have 'toy suffer,
through every 'one of those sixty-.
odd ' days, as they advanced on,
me.. in .Indian' file.
'It's taken 'me about a • week
BRUSH
D .
THORN TREES
ARE COSTLY!
Brush and thorn trees are not, only unsightly, .they are also
costly because they take up valuable crop land in Fencer
Rows and Pasture Land. They can becontrolled during
the growing season with foliar . spraying, : but they can
also be eradicated by the BASAL BARK or STUMP
TREATMENT in the Fall and the easiest and most.
effective way is with CO=OP BRUSH KILLER:'
'APPLY Ct-OP BRUSH KILI.,ER
DIRECTIONS
Mix 2 quarts CO-OP LOW•VOLATILE. BRUSH
KILLER .84 in 10 gallonsof thin oil, such as
fuel' oil.
BASAL .BARK TREATMENT
.. `Thoroughly soak the first 12 inchesof trunk and
any exposed rootswith the CO-OP BRUSH;.
KILLER' mixtures This will kill trees up to 5"
in trunk diameter: .
STUMP TREATMENT .
Larger trees should be cut down first and the
CO-OP BRUSH. K1LLER mixture applied. to
all surfaces of the freshly cut stump. This will'
prevent regrowth of suckers;.
