Not me. I went unawares-— and I don’t wish to 'go again, It was early evening oh Sum day when I began, At first, I though I wasn’t going-to mind. Nothing much seemed to change, I lay stark; still with an odd sensation, in the pit of iny stomach and a faint twinge in my head. The shivers were the worst part at that point.

My eyelids were heavy but stijl I forced them open fo peer into the night for some hint of sympathy. None came, I was alone, deserted in my misery except fpr the, sound of water running as from a tap and more water gushing, as from a toilet recently flushed. ‘ The minutes stretched into hours and then it was day, . I heard voices but I couldn’t call to them. I saw faces but they came and went like masks on All Saints’ Eve. Hands were pressed to my brow but they were cold and clammy hands, unlike the warm hands my mother laid so. gently on my forehead when I was a child. Then I remembered my child­ hood, when life was simple and good. I drifted peacefully for a while, recalling the warm sunshine’ in my youth a5Qd the -acres of green grass I’d scamp­ ered about and the feel of silk pyjamas on a hot; hot night. Soon though, I was trans­ ported back to the depressing dream of the “trip”. Like a black, evil wave it swept me powerless over and over to the brink of a wide, white abyss where I seemed to empty my soul time and time again until there was nothing left to give up. My head wp,s like a furn­ ace in which, the fire was burn­ ing out of control. My mouth was .like a desert with nothing to' quench the arid thirst. My arms were like cooked spa­ ghetti, my legs like , clipped ribbons, my back' was an over­ ripe banana. Shortly now, I prayed, it will end. The “trip” Will be fin­ ished. But Monday became Tuesday and still it continued. Slowly, ever so slowly, reality returned. First my ears picked up 'the faint sound of a door opening, way .off in the dis­ tance. Other senses wore re­ cording the unmistakeable quiv- .er of my surroundings, like feet padding to and fro. My eyes, squinted at the light and caught the outline of my "son and daughter peering down at me as I rested in my own bed at home. “■Feeling better mom?”, they asked, almost’ in a whisper.' <se, M th e.'Z'.tri P ”, M ^Xo^ef, 'ana.another*battle wHK tfic'flq- bug almost won. ---------------0--------------- or Socks are hung up On the hustings recently, it is like Christmas Eve. Not a creature is stirring, put the stockings are hung. , In our riding, tlfe. longest sock belongs to the Conser­ vatives. Although the Hop, Charles MacNaughton has kept all toe holes mended, the stock­ ing appears.to be filled wito all sorts of gpod things like new industry, better roads, finer schools, improved hospi­ tals, the works ... an no in­ crease in taxes! The oldest sock is owned by the Liberals} who have, beep battling for. year? and yeprs to unseat the Tory government. After so many campaigns, the Liberal footwear is getting a little thin but Dr. MorganSmith is reinforcing it with the threads of goodwill and hard work, two unbeatable materials. The cleanest sock was hung by John Boyne of the New Dem­ ocratic Party. It is freshly knit and highly styled of a yarn woven from grievances heard from disgruntled citizens un­ happy with the performance of the two major parties. All three are pinned to a mantel labelled October 17 and they wait for the voter to come. LAC T. T, Brisbane, CFB Clinton, received the Reg Stevens* Memorial Trophy form W/C O.E.
