appears:
"How old is old? That is like
asking how high is high. Old
is when you no longer care
what goes on around you; old
is when you have nothingto look
forward to, when people no
longer interest you. Old is when
you no longer want to hear the
happy laughter of children ,and
listen to their fairy tales; old
is when you are always right
and everyone else is wrong.
"How old is old? You can be
old at twenty, thirty or ninety.
It depends on your outlook on
life; a little child can be old,
one who has been starved for
love, or food; one who is not
wanted and has never known a
parent's love can be very old.
"Who is to say how old is
old? It is not white hair and a
slow moving body; it is not the
added years. It is something in.
side of us. How old is old?
That is a debatable subject
that you will never be able to
answer. If you keep on dreaming
and planning for tomorrow and
enjoying today, you will never
grow old."

Clinton Lions Club continued
its tradition of celebrating the
birthday of Scotland's immortal
,Net, Robbie Burns on Tuesday
evening. The bard's birthday
is today, January 25.
'this year, the special Burns
Night speaker was Rev. Donald
MacDonald, of North Street
United Church, Goderich, who
gave his own views of what

writer left to the world: •
Mr. MacDenald remarked
that in every country in the
civilized world where Scottish
folk had emigrated,, they would
be celebrating Burns' birthday.
Burns wrote hundreds, of poems
in his' short life of 37 years.
He was born. January 25, 1759
at Alloway, near Ayr, and died
at Dumfries in July, 1796.
The speaker claimed Burns
loved the common people and
cited the 21-verse "The
Cotter's Saturday Night" as an
example of this. He claimed
Burns was a radical and pos.
sibly a socialist; and that he
took sides on controversial
things and never was afraid to
speak his mind on his ideas.
"But" said Rev. MacDonald,
"Burns was a true Scotsman.
He loved his nation; in fact he
loved all mankind."
Rev. MacDonald spoke of
Burns' love of good times. To
this he added, "While . dwell.
Mg on the misgivings of Burns,
we sometimes lose the basic
philosophy in his poems and
ballads."
Rev. MacDonald was born at
