THOSE. WHO SERVE
There is a group of .dedicated women is
practically every town, interested in service to
their community—who find the place in which
they can do the most is in co-operation with
their hospitals.
These are the members of the Hospital
Auxiliary. Clinton is blessed with an active group,
who draw their members from, town and the or-
ganizations of the surrounding rural district.
They carry out their self-appointed tasks hap-
pily, and with a sense of duty,
The ordinary person (that is all those who
are not active in the auxiliary) hears very little
about the work they do, In fact some folk think
the only job of the auxiliary is to hold teas, and
entertain in that lovely nurses residence,
This concept is very far from being true.
Behind the teas, behind the social atmos-
phere, and behind the happy pleasant attitude of
the auxiliary members, is the hard core of work,
which goes forward continually. These are the
ladies who roll bandages for cancer patients;
these are the ladies who are ready with assist-
ance for the nurses of the hospital when it is
needed; these are the ladies who work through-
out the year to help furnish rooms at the hospi-
tal, and provide extra services there.
Recent project of the Auxiliary has been
the furnishing of the emergency operation room.
This much appreciated service has been.in use for
about a year. Many accident victims have been
treated quickly and efficiently, and with a mini-
mum of upset to the regular hospital routine.
What the next project may be :remains
to be seen, Possibly plans for a laboratory, pos-
sibly plans for more beds for patients, possibly
more and improved furnishings, Whatever it is,
the work will get the personal attention of the
ladies who work with the auxiliary.
Their annual project—a penny sale—is
now in progress. It deserves your support in
every way. Already the merchants of town have
co-operated in their gifts of prizes. It is up to
the individuals to provide the pennies which
mean a better hospital for them, and their fam-
ilies,
GUY TO WATCH
You watch the guy who drives ahead
And the guy who drives behind.
You watch to the right,
You watch to the left,
You drive with a calm, clear mind.
But the guy you really have to watch
On the highway, you will find,
Is the guy behind the guy ahead
And ahead of the guy behind.

envision of E. D, Boanyman, chief

SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) 8. T. Smiley)
Maybe I'm just getting old and
grouchy, but it seems to me that
life around our place gets more
frantic and coamplicated with the
passing 'of each year. I'm begin-
ning
beginning to look back with nostalgia
on ;the good old days waren all the
acids did was scream all the time,
knock over their milk, and keep
their diapers soaked,
From this distance, those days
had a 'tranquillity about them that
makes me green( With envy. We'd
bath the children and put them to
bed, looking and smelling like rose-
buds, We'd do the dishes amiably.
Then we'd sit around and read, or
chat, or ,pray cribbage or chess.
,r, :n *
Oh, we weren't complete fuds.
We'd go to the odd show, and get
together with friends a couple of
times a week. And I used to go
out to meetings quite often, inn the
evening. But when I'd come hoarse,
there would be the old Trouble 'n
Strife, with a big spat of tea and
some lovely homemade tarts from
the bakeshop. I'd try 'to tell her
ebout the bright things I'd said
at the meetings, while she to me
the bright things the kids had said
•or done before bed. * :a
As I • remember it, though, we
thought life was. (pretty strenuous
in those days, and we could hardfly
wait until the kids got a bit older:,
so we'd have more 'lireeclo n., amore
time for relaxation and recreation.
Looking back, 1 realize we were
Alp Ito our ears in racious, simple
living, and didn't know it. Com-
pared to the continual Conniption
fit that seems to constitute our
family life nowadays, we were as
peaceful as p eas k.n a pod.
Soanewhere, at some Crossing,
that idyllic eaaistence went off the
tracks. Life at :Our house is now
a series of crises, each one as
noisy and frenzied as 'the last one,
as exasperating and ex'haUsting as
the next one,

breakfast. Kim does her piano
practising early, starting at 7,30.
Her mother, just out of bed, a read
martyr, and grouchy as a grizzly,
supervises. Invariably, there are
harsh words. I'm getting sick and
'aired oaf +being awakened by a tear-
stained kid, declaring that "Mur -
any's ea mean!"
Noonhour is sheer chaos, just
one big crisis. The kids dight with
each other. The parents fight with
each pother. The kid's flight with
the parents. Occasionally, when
there's a lull in hostilities, the
three of them are merely all talk-
ing at once, all talking excitedly
and all .talking about some thing
different while I move silently
about the kitchen, pouring glasses
of milk, looking for the salt, and
trying to stay neutral.
* ,r :,
Just the other day, we had a
typical noonhour deal. Kim drop-
ped a slice of peach on her fresh
blouse. She reached for it, with
the hand that held her knife and
a big gob of 'butter. The butter
scooted to the floor, Getting a
little excited', she bent to go after
nt,
'her chinhit the dish and the
rest of the peaches flipped. Try-
ing to save them, she knocked over
a glass of milk. Laugh? 1 thought
I'd cry.
* *
When everything was squared
around, and the recriminations had
ceased, she went out 'to play. Three
minutes later, she was back in,
looking scared. She'd torn the
buckle and strap off one of her
brand new shoes. So I spent half
an hour of lunchtime orawlling ar-
ound in a big !pile of leaves, look-
ing torr a shoe Weide. Didn't find
it, sent her afff to school with a
last volley of threats, and went in
and let the Old .Girl out of the
strait jacket.

Tuesday, Hugh was to catch the
bus at 4 p.m„ to take him to the
city, 20 miles away, for his mt;sic
lesson. I was out selling ads.
At 4.05 1 see this, familiar -looking
kid wandering nonchalantly into
the bus stop, That's any ,toy. I
grabbed (him, Tbomrowed a car, and.
we took off after the bus. We
lwr'tfll'ed down the highway at 75,
yes 75, 'trying to catch up. We
caught Tit two miles, t'hiis side of the
