Mrs. Mabel Scott spent the holidays with her daughter and Mr. Broadfoot of Tuckersmith; year now in limbo, I met Claire Leonard. I was a guest on her TV program "Almanac" originating over Station CKWS TV, Kingston, Ontario. I had travelled by rail many miles for my 12 - minute interview and narration of a CN film regarding what to pack and wear while traveling. When the show was over, I had a few hours to wait for my train before I could return home that evening. Claire Leonard wife of a Queen's University staff member, accepted the proposal for creating this wo- men's program, not from need of a job, but from her inner need to fill the gap a grown child, now married, had left in her life. She was a busy woman socially and profession- ally, yet she had time to take me to tea at the golf club, to introduce me to friends who were widely traveled and who stimulated an animated conver- sation on the pros and cons of travel wearables and fin- ally, to see that I arrived at the Kingston station in time fdr my train. How easily she could have shaken my hand and thanked me for the inter- view. Instead she extended her hospitality and made my day not just another job, but a pleasant adventure. Claire Leonard is just one of my new-found friends. Sev- eral other careerists crowded my thoughts as I brewed that essential cup of coffee. None of them, I'm sure, would ever admit to being apprehensive of 1963. That is why the age old wish, "Happy New Year", is so therapeutic. 0-- Legion Sponsors Public Speaking The annual Royal Canadian Legion public speaking contests will once again be sponsored by Clinton Branch 140.

On 364 mornings of the year I open my peepers, gaze at the ceiling for a few moments, wiggle my toes, stretch my arms above my head and roll over with closed eyes for a brief catnap while I assess what there is to be accomp- lished during the next 14 or 16 hours. Then I grope for my slippers and convince myself I can perambulate as far as the kitchen. At this stage of my con- sciousness there is only one important thing in life, a cup of coffee. After I have gulped down that first hot sip, life takes on a warm glow of satis- faction. Even the weather can- not affect my exuberance one way or the other for I am a ,daytime person and once ani- mated, I usually stay in a state of "joie de vivre" until night- fall. The 365th morning is a dif- ferent matter. New Year's, though it is just another morn- ing, scatters my thinking pro- cesses like an electric fan play- ing on a pile of wheat chef. It stirs up memories; my re- grets and disillusions, my sor- row and joy, my recollections of persons whom I have met and who have contributed to my mental, spiritual or intel- lectual growth, places I've been and any progress I may have made in the twelve months past. I find myself, draped there between the sh- eets, making all sorts of res- olutions, berating my inepti- tude while stimulating my de- termination t o accomplish more, be a better writer, per- son, mother and grandmother. Yes, on New Year's morn- ing I allow myself one glorious binge of recrimination, self pity, hope, ambition, convers- ion and unshrinking purpose. Mind you, this is all before that first cup of coffee! Bad, sad or glad though the year that has just been ripped off the calendar may have been, it had been kicking ar- ound for a long time and was like an old friend, or familiar object. The New Year, so often pictured as a chubby cherub is, like the babe, an unknown quantity. A challenge, yes, but also a fearsome thing for me, for it is the only time I ever try to pierce the veil that shrouds the future. It is the only time I ever admit to be- ing just a little bit afraid, The best medicine for this mood is to recall to mind peo- ple whose success in life has been achieved in spite of haz- ards, or because of their de- sire to be a person, not just a body.
