No major, or even minor theme this week. Just a few observations. Perhaps the most important to me is that my daughter has turned over a new leaf. Or perhaps it's just an old stone. She is studying hard for two music exams, and actually has a job, part-time. She has learned, in a remarkably brief period, that "bread", as the kids call it, is fairly important when it conies to eating and keeping a roof over one's head. She has learned that jobs are mighty scarce when your only experience is playing the organ in a church one summer. She has learned that a Grade 13 certificate and one term at college has as much use as a third leg. She came home on the weekend, with her danged cat and kitten, and clamoured for meat. Real meat. She's sick to death of hamburger and bologna, and drooled over a steak in her honor. But she's a criminal. She went back to the city with her kitten stuffed under her jacket. I believe it's against the law to transport animals on buses. However, she's a clever criminal, and may go a long way. She gave the kid a quarter of a sleeping tablet in milk so he wouldn't howl for his mama and alert the bus driver. We've been left with the mother cat, an unexpected treat, like a hair in your meat pie. We agree that Kim will be fired on the first day of her new job. Her function is to stock shelves in one of those cut-rate stores. And since she was three, her greatest attribute has been knocking over her milk, dropping full bottles of any liquid, and smashing cups and saucers while doing the dishes. It's not lack of co-ordination. She can play a Beethoven sonata. Oh, well. We'll see. That's one thing off my chest. The next one is not so pleasant. I share with most Canadian citizens a sickening disgust at the attitude of most Members of Parliament toward their own financial security. At present, with their $18,000 a year six of it tax-free, and various other "perks": Postage, travel, secretarial help, etc., they're grossing about $20,000, as MP Barry Mather recently pointed out. This is not wealth. Far from it, these days. And I think they should give themselves a reasonable increase, consistent with the cost of living and tax increases. But the proposed pension plan stinks to high heaven. Oppose it, with every means within your power. The old pension scheme was rotten, and many men who had given most of their lives to public service wound up in poverty. But the new one is rotten in the opposite sense. Don't let them pass it. Another item which has me pretty disturbed is that The Telegram News Syndicate, which circulates this column, wants an up-to-date picture of yours truly. Who first came up with this infamous idea I don't know, but vile and vicious are the words that first come to mind. It'll cost me a fortune. I'll have to buy a wig. I'll have to have my remaining molars painted white. I'll have to pay a photographer to touch the whole thing up. And I'll still look like a veteran of the Boer War. My wife disagrees. She says my fine bone structure will always come through. Yeah. Just like a death's head. However, I ain't ascared. The grog blossoms won't show, in black and white. I can have my eyes debagged, which is expensive, but works. My Roman nose is intact, and perhaps a side shot, with the jowls taped up behind my ears, might convince some people of something or other. Maybe they could take the shot from the waist up, and show the needle-holes where I Mr. & Mrs. Robert Coates, Judith and Cathy of Exeter were Sunday visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Squire Herdman and Anne. Mr. & Mrs. Harold Bell, Mr. & Mrs. Alvin Cooper were dinner guests with Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Morley of Whalen, recently. Mrs. Ethel Campbell returned to her home after spending the winter months with her daughter, Mrs. Miller, Brantford. Mr. & Mrs. Delmer Skinner, Mr. & Mrs. Harold Bell, Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Routly attended the IOOF and Rebekah church service at Caven Presbyterian Church, Sunday morning. Mrs, Delmer Skinner, Mrs. Ross Skinner and Miss Ruth Skinner attended the Spring Conference of the Hospital Auxiliaries of District No. 2 at Exeter United Church, Monday. Miss Skinner is President of the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary. Mrs. Philip Johns attended the Officers' Conference at Guelph for three days this past week for the Federated Women's Institutes. had my cortisone shots. It would certainly be better than one from the waist down. I have bow-legs, and gout in my right big toe. Anyway, you'll be seeing it. Take a good snort, or a tranquilizer, before it comes out, I'll be right there with you. But what the heck, we all have troubles, If nobody's were greater than mine, it wouldn't be a bad world. Cope with your own troubles, and don't let them drag you down. Look at the world troubles, and if you, personally, can do something about them, do it. Otherwise, don't let them drag you down. It's a long road that has no turning; you'll be a long time dead; and spring is here. Rejoice! JUNIOR A' gnctIllec-emEx4kLEY 'S WEEKLY COMMENTS , .ar,00lcRizr? Plan fireworks 5, J L
