Schade introduced the guest
speaker, Rev. Ed. Baker of Duff's

live quite differently from us,
there are sad times and many
hard times. They are very heavily
populated, not the freedom ,we
have. We need to know more than
our own country. We should see
people as our brothers, be friends
with them, send help to build a
future, reach but and help other
people to live. There is just one
God and He is Love.

display which he had brought

Ar'zeell
One of my recurring dreams is that all
my teeth are crtimbling, and breaking off
like toast. It's a- terrible nightmare and I
alWays wake up sweating, jam sonic
fingers into my mouth and groan with relief
when I find the teeth are still there, and
with pain because I have bitten my fingers.
Today I feel that I'm having a daymare,
rather than a nightmare. Last night at
dinner, one of my front teeth came away in
the midst of a glorious dishrOf curried
chicken. I love curried chicken, and this
time my wife had excelled her self,
whatever that means. but I am not keen on
curried chicken with teeth in it, even when
they are my awn.
However, this incident did not alarm me,
unduly or otherwise. It was only my peg
tooth. Every couple of months it comes
unscrewed or whatever, I carefully comb it
out of the soup or spaghetti, trot down to
the dentist with it clutched in my hand; he
dusts it off, pops it back in, cements it in
place and I'm ba It in business, stuffing my
guts.
But this mornin munching my matins
(in this case a ripe yellow pear that tasted,
as so much fruit does nowadays, like wet
cardboard), I crunched on something hard.
Now I know that pears do not have either
bones or stones. They have pips. And I
knew that this particular pear did not even
have a pip, because my loving wife,
knowing I was one tooth short from the
night before, had disembowelled it. Right,
another &ant tooth broken off, just beside
the missing peg.
There was no pain in either case. Just a
sense of horror and self-disgust , as I have
in the nightmare. It's bad enough to pull a
filling when eating toffee, or to snap off a
bit of molar when you crunch down on an
unsuspected beef-bone, or even to have an
aching tooth yanked. But to have one break
off when eating an • over-ripe pear ...
Yeeeccchi • •
I still wasn't plunged into the depths.
Some people go for years with no hair on
their heads (and plant articles in
magazines suggesting baldies are more
virile). Others go all their lives with no
brains to speak of. I reckoned I could' get
through the day without two teeth.
And I did. But by noon, the tip of my
tongue was raw and shredded, from
thrusting it into that jagged crevice .
(Crevasse?).
Bet I was cop ing. And I knew that if I
Bustled down to my friendly dentist, he
would squeeze me in seintehow, and 'patch
me tip sornehoW.
slititildlitiVe known better. From my air
feta dayk, Imo* that disasters always
come in threes.
Right in the middle of a brilliant lesson
on the use of four-letter words in Victorian
literature(, such as "legs"), somebody,
somehow, rammed a red-hot needle into a
tooth in my lower jaw-bone, four teeth and
two spaces from the missing ones..
Almost screamed aloud. I screamed
silently The needle was removed. Two
minutes later, that red-hot needle plunged
into the tooth directly above (I have two
teeth on that side, upper and lower, and
they are fairly friendly with each other,
because there is nobody else around.)
This time I couldn't help it. I emitted,
"Huh!", as though someone were driving
a stake through my heart. I sagged into my
chair, white and shaken.
You can always depend on students.
They rally around when things are tough,
despite their outward cynicism. They're all
,h earl inside that tough exterior.
"I think the old sod's havenna hardatak.
"Jeez, I hope he hazzen godour tests
marked yet, I think I failed mine."
"Maybe he's just 'godda bad hangover.
Slap him in the face a coupla times and he
might come around."
I came out of it. of course, and
preteneded i was enacting Heathcliff's
grief in Wuthering Heights. When they
looked as though they didn't believe me, I
curled back my bottom lip and snarled at
thyrn with my new gap-toothed look. They
shut up.
When everything cooled down, I realized
that my back teeth were merely expressing
sympathy for my lost front teeth. It made
them lonelier than ever. But they didn't
have to shriek their sympathy at such
volume.
My whole jaw hai been aching for the
remainder of this dark day, but the red-hot
needle has cooled to a blunt instrument.
As soon as I finish telling you this
fascinating episode of a continued story
called "One Man's Fangs," I'm going
straight to the dentist, and have him rip
every tattered remnant of bone out of my
head.
Then I am going up to the hospital and
have the calcium chipped off my right
footbone, my gall-bladder removed, just in
case it ever acts up, a heart-pacer put in,
and .three or four pints of blood, in the
event of anemia. I might even have my ears
pierced, just for the hell of it.
I don't trust the old carcass any more. If
my teeth start crumbling when Pm just a
broth of a boy, who knows what bits and
pieces may fall off when 1'11185 as I fully
intend to be?
