T-A photo Smiley - Continued from page 4 she slept well, counting those non-existent sheep as they leaped over the shoe counter. The next New Zealander I met were in training, in England. They spoke English, but it was a little different. Once I asked two of them what they were doing that evening. One replied, "We thett we'd week ecress a cepple o' peddocks anev a bayah." Much research divulged that this meant they thought they would walk arosss a couple of paddocks (fields) and have a beer at the pub." Then I got to a squardon. Three of us in a tent. Two Canadians and a New Zealander. By this time I could talk New Zealand. Nick was and old guy, about twenty-five. Good type. Earthy, practical, realistic. The other Canadian, Freddy, was, nineteen, virginal, idealistic, and credulous. I was sort of in bet- ween. Nick used to tell the boys stories that curdled his blood and even curled my hair slightly. He told us the biggest lies about the fish and the deer and the sheep and the women of New Zealand that I blush, even now, to think of how I half believed him. Freddy was sold and we for- med a syndicate, then and there, to go to N.Z. after the war and get rich in two years. The syndicate was rather shattered when Nick and Freddy were killed in one week, and I was shot down the next, In prison camp, I knew another Newzie. He was a squadron leader. Everybody else thought he was around the bend, but I knew he was just another Newzie. He'd come to my room in barracks every so often and bellow, "Smiley, do you know where I can buy a truck in Canader?" His plan, after release, was not to go back to N.Z. by ship, with the others, but to head for Canada, and drive across the country by truck, It's quite possible that he planned to drive it right across the Pacific, too, but I couldn't remember a single truck dealer, so I don't know what happened. This seems like a long preamable to something, and it is. Writing a column is one of the loneliestjobs in the world.Once in a while, shouting into the void, you hear an echo. It warms the heart. Such is this, from Auckland, New Zealand, "Thank you, dear Bill Smiley, for your delightful column. Here I am, 7,000 miles from home and I felt that my little world was crumbling around me, We are gradually losing everything and at present may lose our house as we try to make a go of it in New Zealand," "As usually happens at times like these, minor problems seem major also and it seems im- possible to hold your head up in a positive manner. So this is where I was last night when the Statesman arrived from Bowtnanville and I flipped it open to your column .. and read about 'men and weather make mistakes' Well, I nearly died laughing. And it felt so good to laugh „ "Well, to Make a long story games and refreshments. Mr. & Mrs. King were the recipients of many gifts. A Good Friday service will be held in the United Church here at 11 a.m. with the minister the Rev. Harold Dobson in charge. All members of the Grand Bend pastoral charge are especially invited to attend. Mr. Dobson has recently concluded his series of sermons on The Lord's Prayer. He said Jesus makes concessions in this prayer to both man's need for bread and for forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from temptation and the evil power that seems to occupy our world. Jesus prayed daily, close as He was to the Father. If He found it necessary we ordinary humans need to cultivate it more than He did.
