SUGAR AND SPICE
Dispensed by Smiley
Addressing a group of high
school teachers the other night,
I was recalling how I entered
the uh . teaching game,
business, vocation, profession or
racket — what ypu call it de-
pends on who ypu are purely
by accident.
I had brought my family to
this town one Sunday to have a
look at the sights, as we hadn't
been here before.
On the way out pi town, we
drove around the side streets to
admire the fine homes. "That's
odd", I said to my wife. "There
is a big, new factory smack in the
middle of the residential section.
Thdy don't usually allow that."
Then I saw the roadblock, out
in front of the sprawling, one-
storey factory. There was a grim
gent beside it, well-dressed but
with a sort of wild glint in his
eye. He flagged me down.
I stopped. He came over to
the car. "Can you see out of at
least one eye?", he queried. I
assured him that I had 40-40 vi-
sion, or something of the sort, I
thought it was some kind of
kooky, plain-clothes-police
check, the kind you run into
when you've left your driving
license in your other pants.
"Ever been to a university?",
he shot at me. I said I'd been to
Oxford. I remember spending a
whole weekend there during the
war, waiting for a Land Army
girl who never did show up.
He brightened considerably.
"Have you any contagious dis-
eases?", was the next question.
"Like leprosy?" I told him I
was as sound as any man in my
condition could be.
Beaming now, he went on with
the questionnaire. "And you don't
drink, smoke, play the horses or
chase women. Right?"
I started to point out that I
did all of these whenever pos-
sible, but not all the time, and
not all at once. But he wasn't
listening. He had the car door
open and me by the arm, and was
hustling"me toward that big, brick
factory that looked more like a
prison every second. I thought
I was under arrest.
Billie Esson, son of Mr. &
Mrs. Nelson Baker, was one of
the competitors in the senior
cross country meet event along
with three other boys from St.
Marys when they came 10th in
Toronto in competition with over
20 other teams. These boys also
came first in the Western On-
tario meet at Port Dover a few
weeks ago.
Mrs. George Wilson attended
the Northern Canada Committee
of the Federated WI of Canada in
Ottawa last week. She stopped
off at Melton on the way home
and visited with her brother, Mr.
& Mrs. Peter McLean and Mr.
& Mrs. Calvin Wygood, Peter
and Paul of Puslinch who re-
turned with her to attend the
with his parents, Mr. & Mrs.
Wm. Simpson and Murray Simp-
son.
In the United Church report of
the bazaar Oct. 30, sewing table
should read Mrs. David Kestle,
Mrs. Wm. Simpson, Mrs. Dick
Worthington; assisting in the kit-
chen, Mrs. Wm. Wilson, Mrs.
Jim Donaldson, Mrs. Art htir
Simpson, Mrs. Rea Neil, Misses
Hazel Simpson and Cathy Worth-
ington.
When we got inside, he shoved
me into a chair, and I waited,
fearfully, for the bright light in
the face, and the rubber hose.
But he fooled me. He stuck a
confession under my nose and
snarled, "Sign there," I signed,
wondering what had become of
Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus and
my family, out in the car.
It was not until he offered to
show me the gymnasium and the
cafeteria that I realized the fac-
tory was a high school, and that
I had just experienced the hard
sell on teachers.
However, it wasn't much of a
switch for me. I know that the
jump into teaching, from big in-
dustrialist, shoe salesman or
short-order cook has been a
traumatic experience for some
people. You can see them any
day, tottering white-faced to-
ward the staff room, after a
double period with 10Z, the ter-
ror of the school:
But I had little difficulty in
making the adjustment. After all,
I had been a weekly newspaper
editor. In that job, you spend
most of your time telling people
things they don't listen to, and
urging them to do things they
don't want to do. I found these
invaluable training for my teach-
ing career.
And. I must admit that things
have gone well. In three years,
I fought my way up to a depart-
ment-headship. Oh, it took a lot
of midnight-oil-burning, coffee-
buying for the principal, and the
fact that they couldn't get any-
body else for the job. But I made
it.
And now I have my own little
empire; a dozen or so English
teachers who are so in awe of
me that they never borrow more
than $10; an assistant department
head who hangs on my every word,
and then contradicts it; and the
thrill. of attending department
heads' meetings, of being on the
inside, where the big decisions
are made.
Like what are we gonna do
with kids who carve "Herb Loves
Elsie" on the desks.

Over 65 and want more
out of life?
Investigate an Annuity.
Life on "just enough" income can be a frustrating
and dull existence.Yet it's the life led by many people
to-day who live on a limited pension. Extra money
from interest and dividends on their few investments
can help. But in many cases it's still not enough to
really enjoy life. Selling investments for cash is a
temporary solution but in the long run it means less
income and more money worries.
The answer is an annuity. It scientifically com-
bines interest and capital to provide a guaranteed
income for life. It banishes stock market worries.
Gives peace of mind. How much income an annuity
will provide depends on many factors. Your age, for
example, and the kind of annuity you buy. One
popular type would give a man age 70 who deposits $10,000, an income of $1,248
a year as long as he lives. For information on an annuity to fit your needs just
call the Manufacturers Life representative.
