my column in the paper
again next week. But I find
the column has changed over
the years.
At first my column was
basically giving people a
chance to read something
besides farm news, main
events, sports. politics and
other columns of interest.
When I began writing it
seemed to me that there
wasn't enough in the Huron
Expositor for kids to read. I
tried everything under the
sun to come up with ideas for,
columns for each week. At
first it was easy to think of
ideas, but by the time that
you have written dozens of
columns, you can't help but
have trouble finding ideas to
write about or even repeat
ideas, especially around hol-
idays such as Easter and
Christmas. It may be a bit of
struggle but eventually with
the help of • people at the
paper and my family, I have
always tried to come, up with
something to write about.
As I said before; writing
-this column.has been fun adn
, this column has been fun and
a learning experience. After
about the second month of
' writing .the colunn. it was
suggested that I interview
children with some questions
of interest.
There are many ways that
a child may handle a person
the kid is saying things such
as "I found this particular
performance extremely up-
lifting and acted splendidly.'
then l hear a little whisper
over the line, "What else
should I say Mommy?" I
often get a laugh over situa-
tions such as this.
Once I was talking to a
little girtover the telephone.
After the interview was over.
I asked her her name and
age. She said her name and
said that she was five years
old. A voice on an extension
phone pipe up and said
-"You're sit years old now
Dummy!" "Thanks Dad!"
the little girl answerd and
hung up!'
HANG QUT
When I go to the public
school or to another "hang-
out" for kids after school, I
find myselfgiddenly sur-
rounded by' Inige mobs of
kids dying to see their-riame-
in the paper and give me an
intellectual answer. Unfor-
tunately. I always seem to
pick'the one kid in the crowd
who will either give me an
answer that I. can't print for
various reasons, a kid with a
lisp that I can't understand
or some little sweetheart who
makes an unkind gesture. at
me. As I said have Wild
this job a lot of fun and a
great learning experience.
There will be the odd time

ones who send in birthdays
to make the birthday column
a success; the ones who keep
me informed to new happen-

who answer questions when 1

them. When I phone up a'
friend, the first thing they
think, of when they answer
the phone is -"There's that

her question is this week?"
AT A LOSS
Once in a while there will
be a week when I am
completely lost for an idea top
write about in the paper.
Once I went to the old
newspapers from last year to
see if I 'Could come up with
