If this column gets finished and goes to press it will complete a year of grinding one out every week. There were many times when I • was sure I'd never make it this far, and after one year on the job I admit I've a lot more respect for newspapering, and for column writing in particular. It's gratifying to know I have some readers, and one of the questions they most frequently ask is, "How do you think up all that stuff every week?" Well, to tell the truth, I pray a lot! If by Monday noon I haven't an idea in the world of what to write about, I light up my little pot of incense, and commence to send up incantations for a 'good' suggestion. If, by Monday night, I haven't received one, I change the supplication to 'any old idea at all. Should Tuesday morning break and find my mind still • blank I really get down to business and earnestly plead that the roof will fall in, that I'll trip and break all my typewriter fingers, or fall into a deep coma until the newspaper has been printed and the crisis passed. And if by Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. no miracle or catastrophe ▪ has occurred, I'm sitting at the typewriter in a cold clammy sweat and sick at my stomach. Like right now. So, why do I keep it up? For fame? Well hardly. The times I am recognized when I go out is by people who poke each other and whisper, "There's that kook who writes for the paper." To impress my family? Hah! Nobody in my crew has broken out in a rash yet over any of my material. Our littlest guy read one column and snorted with disgust, Plan corporate communion A C W elect new slate "You're a liar, Mom, and that's the worst kind of mother to have.." My husbancl,also,pursued one column quickly and asked, "Is that what people are reading these days? Why the heck isn't there any food in the refrigerator?" Which leads me to the business of working part time and trying to keep the old home ship on even keel all at once. I've learned to rush home and throw the potatoes in the pot before my spouse hits the back door. For regardless of what the T.V. ads tell him, he still thinks the smell of dinner cooking is far more important than if my deodorant keeps me fresh all day. So, what is it that keeps me sitting here, staring at a blank piece of paper while the minutes tick steadily past that cursed deadline and the editor gives me the beady eye everytime he goes by my desk? Money? How did you guess? Perhaps, you too, have had frustration of going through motherhood without putting a nickle by toward old age (persuming you will reach old age.) And, what else can I do? Nothing. Too stupid to run a computer, no education to teach; a rotten back which prevents Eleven registered nurses' assistants graduated from a diploma course conducted at South Huron Hospital, Friday evening, in an impressive ceremony at Exeter United Church. Dr. J.C. Goddard, M.D. introduced the guest speaker, Miss Doreen Baker, Reg. N. who spoke briefly to the graduates about the expectations, aims and purposes of their role in society. She continued with an interesting talk on her experiences in Malayia where she worked for two years as part of a medical team sent there by CARE. Miss Alice Claypole, scrubbing or ditch digging (thank heavens), and an inaptitude to learn plumbing . . , I always try to screw things together backwards, But while I admit the money is great, the biggest thrill I get out of writing is to have someone stop me on the street and say, "I got a real chuckle out of your column this week." That's heady praise and it lifts me two feet off the ground. As a long time advocate of laughter, I'm of the viewpoint it is one of the staples of life, and that there is far too little of it in the world. We all tend to take ourselves and our society much too seriously and while the problems each of us face are difficult and sometimes even heartbreaking, we can never better them by preaching doom and gloom and wearing thunder cloud faces. So, if I can make some people smile and forget their woes for just a few brief munutes, then that's one of the most rewarding payments I can receive for filling this corner each week, Of course, like I said, the money's nice, too. TROUBLE Better never trouble Trouble Until Trouble troubles you; For you only make your trouble Administrator of the hospital brought greetings and announced the gifts presented as follows: South Huron Hospital Medical Association gift by Dr. M.

Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who've created a stan- dard of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that's wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. At a time when the dollar is having many demands made on it, Ontarians can note that provincial takes have held the line in 1970. And INVEST NOW on Guaranteed Investment Certificates. On 3 year term.

Yet, needed programs have not been neglected. The Ontario Housing Corporation for example, has housed 120,000 people to date and currently has almost a billion dollars worth of programs active in nearly 200 Ontario Communities. We need a vigorous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't sit on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves._ Which, when you think about it, isn't such a bad idea. 4 0' Everytime you boost Ontario . . Ontario and Canada get a little stronger.
