SPICE
by Bil Smiley
Don't be surprised if you don't get a
Christmas card from me this year. Just
keep expecting, and it may roll in some-
time between Valentine's Day and Easter.
I wish I could blame it on the postal
workers, who are the latest villains in
everybody's piece, but I must be honest
and blame it on the Smileys.
Dilatory, procrastinating and just plain
lazy are adjectives that could be applied
to us with impunity. And even with relish,
if your tastes lie that way.
As I write, I can see from the corner
of one eye 140 exam papers to be marked
in three eights.' As I glance from the
Opposite.corner of the other eye, I'can see
a blizzard that has been going on for six
hours. Neither of these sights Is inclined
to make one's goose hang high.
However, "Life is the life" as my
daughter remarked at the age'of six, and
it's been a family motto ever since. I'm
not sure what it means, but there is some-
thing very profound behind that simple
observation.
It's really my wife's fault that
Christmas is not' all teed up and ready
to be sliced into the rough.
Normally, she's sitting around
brooding about Christmas, this time of
year. But this year she's sitting around
brooding about NOT brooding about Christ-
mas.
How could anybody blame the poor kid
because she's not fretting about the holiday
season? She has this teaching position,
you see, and there simply isn't time to
worry about anything else. It's a tremen-
dous load.
She has to get up at. the crack of
about 8.30 to put her hair in curlers, you
see. Then she has to trudge through the
snow for 94 yards,' snow-plowed, to get to
work. There, she teaches for 35 solid '
minutes. Most of the afternoon is-spent
preparing next day'slesson. Most of the
evening is spent in describing to me the
horrors and delights of her "day" in the
classroom. Who has time to worry
about Christmas decorations, cards and
such? •
So, we have once again mane our
annual vows. No cards, no Christmas
presents, no time-consuming, silly decor-
ations.
I can just see us now. December 22nd
we'll be up all night writing cards, licking
and stamping envelopes. On December
23rd, we'll be dashing around town, pawing
through the left-overs for gifts. And on
December 24th, I'll be taking the name of
the Lord and most biological functions in
vain as I try to ,prop up a skimpy tree
with a butt as creaked as the leg of a
goat. The tree, riet-tne.
On ChristipasEve, when most people
are going to' chttrOh, or listening to
calrait r 'Al be in
611 the .9.„1:ttp• kep, g • n turkey.„„_. • . ,
die -gsft:e,A15,14/ ‘'f.11
And I know' why' NOloody can turn out
a stuffing liku-yourk truly,. I like it neither •
dry nor soggy, but moist, and with a afe of
its own. I use the:standard ingredients:
fried onions'and Celery, bread crumbs
(real, not bought), and a good dash of
everything in the spice„ cupboard, from
tabasco sauce to chili powder.
Add half a pound of butter, melted.
Toss in some ground chicken or turfy
gizzard, with the water it's been boiled in.
And every time you have a shot of rye,
give the turkey one.
That means that you'll get up in the
morning on equal terms, and after the bird
has got over his hangover, you'll have a
real, live bird, with a personality all his
own, on your hands. It does wonders for
the inhibited dinner guests, too. •
-I've heard good teetotalers say, after
three helpings of my dressing, "Wow, one
more of those and I could fly". It's most
distressing when they try it. Keep a firm
hand on the gravy boat when this occurs.
One must, of course, be temperate in
making this dressing. One year I had a
turkey so high he got up and tried to fly
off the platter as I was carrying him in
from the kitchen. That's what I told my
wife, anyway. She claims it wasn't the ,
turkey's fault that it wound up on the
kitchen floor, in a pool of grease, with
twelve starving people waiting.
But I'm getting away from my theme,
whatever it was. Oh, 'yes. Christmas
cards.
Well, a few special ones maybe. To
0.G.Alexander of Chicago. Reads my
column in Kincardine News. Has taught
school for 45 years and is still alive.
Stout chap!
To Mrs. V. Gerlach of Stettler, Alta.
I agree with you about welfare and unem-
ployment bums, but keep happy.
A special hello to John Sawchuk who
said of the C arillon News, "paper wouldn't
be the same without his column."
And to everyone else who reads this
column: God 'less, chaps. Keep fighting.
Life is the life. Merry Christmas.
To the Editor
Cruelty to wild life
Po
Sir:
The shocking cruelty to wild life,
shown on the television screen (Dec.13)
should arouse a storm of protest from
many Canadian citizens. Those anti-
quated trapping methods now being used,
in. a supposedly civilized country, are
barbaric.
How could successive Government
bodies, both Liberal and Conservative,
allow this to go vbn, year after year?
They surely must have known that the
Conibear trap, designed for humane kil-
ling, has been available for years.
Why do members of the Federal Legis-
lature do nothing to stop such a shameful
practice? -Certainly the cruel leg trap
should be outlawed all over Canada -NOW.
Mrs. E.W.Oddleifson.
Bayfield,ont.
