SUGAR
and
SPICE
by Bill Smiley
New year's resolutions seem rather
pointless, when one looks back over the
past year and realizes what a mess one
made of it.
But hope springs eternal in the human
beast (note to ed. - that's beast, not
breast), and most of the time I feel as
though I'm still animal, though I have a
lot of calcium in the wrong places - not
teeth, but elbows, knees and shoulders -,
and there are moments when. I feel pure
vegetable, maybe a withered turnip. So
here goes.
The very first thing I'm going to do in
'72 is get my rake and lawn chairs out of
the backyard and into the basement. Pro-
vided I can find them under the snow.
Same goes for my woodpile, which has been
sitting there, "drying out", since August.
The second thing do is stop listen-
ing to my wife and make her start listening
to me. She is eternally getting into jams
because she won't listen to mebecause she
never has because she thinks she knows
more than I about practically anything you
can name. And she is forever getting me
into jams because I listen to her because
ahe thinks etc.. .
That will clear a lot of the fog in our
domestic air. I know. You think that's
like a mouse bragging that he's going to
straighten out an elephant. And it is-But
it's also a fact that we mtce have been
known to panic a whole herd of elephants.
Anyway, it'll be fun trying. That old
spirit of adventure, you know. Even if it
does cost me a broken nose or a couple of
thick ears.
Another think I'm going to do is stop
worrying. I'm a terrible worry wart.
Some weeks I worry a total 0 f twenty-
seven minutes, about something I can't
do a thing about. I'm going to cut that
down to twenty-seven seconds, do it once
a week, and get it over with.
I'm going to give up late nights. They
take a terrible toll on a fellow when he
must work next day. No more of those.
Except on exceptional cases, such as
Friday and Saturday nights and anytime
we go to a party or have one. Or any-
time I really feel like staying up.
I'm going to put a stop to my daughter
falling in love. This will be one of the
trickier assignments. 3 just get nicely ••"
adjusted to the fact that she's deeply in
love and settling down when I get word
that it's off with the old and on with the
new, and this time it's "real".
In the past year she's been in love
with an English professor, an American
(imagine!), student; twice engaged to the
same guy, name of Joe; and is currently
head-over-heels with a sculptor. How
much does a struggling sculptor make?
I don't really care, but I don't fancy the
old idea that two can live as cheaply as
'one, if I'm paying the bills. I don't
know what techniqtie use to stop her,
but I'll come up with something fiendish
that will guarantee her a long spinsterhOod.
I'm going back into the arms of the
church for a long-awaited (on her part)
embrace. I am steadily growing more
sinful, just like the rest of you, but it's
time to start straightening the accounts.
Well, that's enough to keep me going
for the year. A nice mixture of physical.
and psychological problems. •
In closing, thanks to all those who have
written during the year. Forgive me if I
haven't answered yet. Have a good year.
And a special wish to all those in
trouble; Western farmers, the unem-
ployed, the old, the mentally ill. Keep your
chin up. Things can only get better. And
remember, somebody is thinking about
you. Maybe Edgar Benson won't, but I
will.
To the Editor:.
New Band Advances
Dear Sir:
May I take this opportunity of con-
gratulating a private citizen that is doing
wonderful community work with prac-
tically no help anyone else. I
refer to the ork of r. Toll in his
efforts to revive a B ass Band in this
town.
He asked for and iceived from the
council the loan of instruments lying in
the Town Hall and for the past year has
been training about 35 young people the
fundamentals of music. They progressed
to the stage where they were able to put
on a short programme for the parents in
the Legion Hall last week. They did
quite well and are to be congratulated.
This type of endeavour takes a lot of•
patience, time and hard work and as I
said before, Dr. Toll has done •it single
handed.
The band now could do with extra
help in the way of encouragefnent and
help and I'm quite sure that Dr. Toll
would appreciate havitig a sponsor that
might bring extra efforts to bear on
the band's behalf. It's quite obvious
that the members enjoy their playing
and if these efforts ca n be continued
many youngsters will not only take part
In something that is enjoyable and a
means of keeping them occupied but it
can even lead to financial gain as music-
ians in the future.
If a sponsor offered to help Dr. Toll
these youngatars would be helped a great
deal and the sponsor could derive much
good publicity while promoting a very
worthwhile project.
I believe we should try and encourage
such efforts and when a person like Dr.
Toll puts so much energy into such a time
consuming work we should at least give
him moral support.
May I once more congratulate Dr.
Toll and the "members of his band and
wish them every success for the Coming
year.
Sincerely,
F.C.J.Silis,
Mayor of Seaforth. •
