Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1966-03-10, Page 3From My Window That Indefinable “THEY I Shirley Keller Accepting the blame and the credit for close to 90 percent of the world's troubles, and myst eries is .that gltep of unknown, people or things known as "they”. Just who or what “they” are has never—and pro bably will riot ever be—defined. And isn't it lucky for you and me? Seemingly -an inborn '‘out” for mankind, humans team at a very early age how easy it is to wiggle 'themselves away from almost any awkward situation by pointing to the handy “they” When caught in a trap of their own making. After all, "they” will not question! to'e accusations ■nor come forward to steal the spotlight in the event the pro blem should miraculously mbit before much damage is done. Dike everything else though, it takes a bit of practice before we become adept at casting sus-' picion on “they”. Earily attempts by toe preschooler, don’t very often fool mother when toe sug- arlbowl as dampened down by telltale chocolate milk and little Lester says, "Dey did it”. Very few teachers fall for the line about “they” when toe classroom window is broken and the grade five baseball squad is nervously grabbing at straws to avoid punishment. No, toe most skillful decep tions- generally make their pres- • ence felt a little later in life, We are fteLJy making progress when we discover the excite ment of holding an . audience spellbound by fabricating all manner of tall tales using "they” as the patsy.. Many factual accounts ax-.e made highly interesting by in serting a few white lies about what f‘they” said, It doesn’t do much fop one’s ego- to relate merely the dull events of the minor slrirmish between two neighbours over the location of the- line fence, What harm will it do to insert some stimulating sidelights like, "They say Mr. Brown neatly-hit Mr. White”? Actually; no one can prove whe ther or not "they” made the re mark because “they” could be anybody . , , and the storyteller is scot free with the, added bon us1 of having the distinction- of being the first to know and to tell'. People who' wouldn’t be caught dead listening to or re peating gossip find the use of “they” soothes the conscience. Somehow, to say "they tell me” relieves the guilty feelings we might otherwise possess and gossip is nlo1 longer gossip but something we can actually be lieve because there cannot be a dispute. When we have reached this stage, we have attained the ulti- • mate—-the peak of perfection. So it is that “they” continue to spout ail the filthy slander and the hateful and harmful dirt that corrupts most of us and may even attack us at some time or another. . What ’‘they” see, hear and speak is generally vile and serves to ruin reputations and. lives, but we re main pure and liilywhite, un touchable by those who would pin gossip on us.

After the fire was out, the same; train took the equipment back to Stratford. There were many trains running then. Talik about a crowd. Clinton had one that day. Terrible mess. Of course, Clinton had no water works, nor fire hydrants 'then, no. - Only dug wells for dirinking.

A lot of homes had cisterns to catch the. rain as it came off toe roofs. ■ The firemen used to run for the fire hall when the fire bell rang. First one .there lit a fire in the fire engine and got out the hose reels. Soon a team of horses were on toe job to drag the engine to the nearest large- size water tank. Each of these was. covered with heavy thick planks, and Had a lid on one side, sort of in box style. The lid lifted off, and | you put the hose into the tank.
