Hears of 1965 A Year of Work At the annual meeting of the Clinton Hospital Auxiliary Mrs, Robert Homuth was installed as the new president, The ladies heard reports of a very busy and rewarding year. Through their many projects, the auxiliary members were able to' buy equipment for the laboratory and new physiother­ apy department as well as drapes for some of the hospital rooms and many Christmas treats. The bursary winner this year was Miss Eileen Garrett who is in training 'alt Woodstock Gen­ eral Hospital. The New Year’s baiby was bom to Mrs. Howard Arm­ strong of Zurich and has been presented with the silver mug donated by the auxiliary. The ladies made plans for the vanishing parties to be held again this year and look for­ ward to a busy 1966, and a hope for new members. All members will be made welcome at 'the meetings, held the first Tuesday of each month at 8 p.m. at the Nurses’ Residence. ------------------Q------------------ The Women’s Missionary So­ ciety of St. Andrew’s Presby­ terian Church will meet in the school room of the church on Tuesday, January 18 at 2:30 p.m. Ladies of the congregation are welcome. -----------------O'----------------- Overheard at a local garage: “My wife has a strange way of getting even with the telephone company. She uses my car to knock down- their poles. SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley The Sturdy Ones Remain This is 'the time of year when we get rid of all the undesira­ bles 'in the community. By un­ desirables, I mean people, with more money than I. They leave our northern community for Florida, Mexico, the West Indies; In one fell swoop we get rid of all the softies, the cowards, the sybarites. In short, the rich white trash. It’s .as much a part of our heritage as the Saturday night bath, or spring cleaning. And I think (it's a good thing. When the last .barber or bricklayer has bragged about being off to the Bahamas, when the last druggist or doctor has informed me pompously that “We’ll probably take in Acapul­ co. this year”, I feel a sense of relief. The rats have left the Freez­ ing ship, and there’s only the hard core, the sturdy pioneer types, the rugged individualist and the poior people, left in the temperate (hah!) zone. t The resit of Us, the best of us. can get clown to the real glory of winter living, without stum­ bling over 'a lot of sissies who ate better off down there get- in,g sand in their navels. 1 As one of ’the old true-blue breed, fighting it out with the elements, I am inclined to scorn them. As a humanitarian, I can only pity them. Think of what they’re missing. What is there in the soft and sensuous south, to equal that crunch of foes bfealcing off, that crack of bursitis in the shoulder When you throw the first curling stone, that snap of thigh bones on the ski hill? Let’s take, a look at a couple of these hot-Weather hounds. Look at this bird an Florida. Gets out of bed ahd there’s that same old crumby, monotonous Siun blaring down, juist like all the other days. Same Old rou- tihe. The inevitable orange juice oh the inevitable' patio; the inevitable trip to the bpach with the inevitable obscenely fat softies lying all around. Or the inevitable sweating ft ©tit bn the golf Course With a, lot Of other middle-aged Hats. And here’s Oiir pal in Mexico, just getting up at 10:30. He hasn’t paid last year’s income tax yet, but he borrowed el, 500 from 'the fo&nk to. make the trip. He has a hangover from those siix-ounce, forty-cent Mexican drinks, and a twisted back from trying to tango. His wife1, in the other twin bed, looks like an inmate of Belsen, because she’s 'had Mexi­ can complaint, commonly known as dirie rear, ever since they crossed the border. She whines, he snarls1. They totter out into the muggy heat. And another horrible day in Acapul­ co has begun. It’s not like that around' here. My daughter’ wakes me at six- thirty and I call a cheery good­ morning, It may sound a bit more like “RUMPH’’ but it’s well meant. My life’s partner’ shoves me out with her foot ten minutes later. Down to a jolly breakfast: vi­ tamin pills, cuppa tea and half- slice of toast, There’s the thrill of variety as you prepare for the day. When dawn comes, will the sun be shining, the snow falling, or a blizzard howling? Out into the wild white yon­ der. Grab the shovel and make the snow fly, chuckling heartily all the while as you think of those poor slobs in the south, with nothing to do every day but the same old things. The clean, fresh, northern air hits y'our lungs like a dum-dum bullet. Bark seal-like greeting to neighbour, whose head as just visible over the snowbank. Off to the garage. Excitement of wondering whether the car will Start. The sheer, demonic joy of belting out the-driveway backwards and trying to smash through the bank the showplow has thrown up. Sometimes you make it The skidding, slithering ad­ venture of the drive to work. Wheels spinning, visability twelve feet, every man for him­ self. The goodfellowship arid Viva­ city of the teachers’ cloakroom, everyone stamping, cursing, and running alt the nose. And another day of glorious Winter living has- begun. Don’t try to toll me about the seduc­ tion of the languorous south* land. Just give me the crisp, viril challenge of living where men are meh, And you can tell them from the women. When you get them thawed out, .Recipe Exchange Winter Food Ideas Now titruit winter has settled in with, storms, end what seems to foe continued winds and snow there is need for some really warming food ideas coming from your kitchen.

Feminine Stalwarts Behind any group of men, there often works a group of ladies which brings order out .of chaos and a helping hand where it’s needed most. These are two of those who contribute much to the Huron Federation of Agriculture: Mrs. Florence Elliott, Clinton, who is secretary for the county group and Mrs. Ted Fear is the lady director of the Huron F of A. They attended a special meeting here on December. 28, when the Federation met with gov­ ernment members.
