It's another year end
An average year, a good year. I
wouldn't trade it. That's a slice
of life, and since it's the only one
we are given, we might as well
enjoy every minute of it.
And one of the real bonuses, for
me, was all those warm and
friendly letters from my readers.
Gnr. Art Heaton of Stouffville and
of W.W.I artillery, telling me of
the old brick works in Toronto.
Mrs. Hilda Sibthorpe, rightly,
upbraiding me for saying I felt
sorry for young people.
And hundreds of others.
Thanks, everyone, and keep them
coming. May 1974 be a year for
you of many joys and few sad-
nesses. Keep a stiff upper lip and
your hand on your wallet. And try
to love everybody, however
difficult it may seem.

Christmas means a sweet smell
of a tangerine. The twinkle of
lights on a holiday night. The
smell of the pine it gives me the
sign. Its being a home and not
alone. For Christmas is together
in winter weather. When mother
is cooking a turkey for dinner the
roast is a winner. When gathered
around the Christmas tree floor
its never a sore or even a bore. So
Christmas to me is a lot of things
and never brings but happy
carolling's.
Merry Christmas And

As 1973 wound to its end, I took
a look back and agreed with
myself that it was quite a year, as
every year is in the brief flicker
that is our life on earth,
Just about a year ago, I slipped
on a new-waxed kitchen floor,
went down headfirst with two
arms full of groceries, struck my
far from diminutive beak on the
cupboard and wound up with my
features slightly rearranged. Still
have the scar.
There was the night in March
when I ran over my wife. We
were coming home from the
curling club, and she'd left before
me, on foot. It was a black night,
she had on dark clothing, and I
didn't see a thing until I felt the
bump.
She wasn't seriously injured,
but spent a week in hospital with
abrasions and stuff. I spent a
week in coventry. Neither of us
found it amusing.
Strangely enough, everybody
else did. I phoned our kids, and
each thought it was hilarious.
"Trust you two," said Hugh.
"That's typical, Dad," echoed
'Kim.
My brother-in-law the lawyer,
couldn't keep the chuckle out of
his voice. Even the judge snorted
with mirth.
There was the night my
daughter called and giggling a bit
nervously. asked, "How'd you
like to be a grandfather, Dad?" I
gasped, muttered something
innocuous, hung up and went and
looked at myself in the mirror.
"You're getting on, old boy", I
told me. "I'm sure they don't
want grandfathers at fighter pilot
reunions, so that's the end of
that." And it was. Though I was
sorely tempted when Dutch
Kleimyer, late of Australia,
phoned before Christmas and
said some of the chaps were
getting together for a quiet little
bash at the Military Institute.
I know those quiet little bashes.
They start at noon on a Friday
and end about six p.m, on
Saturday. Last time I was there,
one of our group wanted a
souvenir of the occasion and
swiped the boat's head which was
carried into start the feast. He
said it got a bit high after he'd
had it for a few weeks, and he
chucked it out.
Then there was a glorious
summer in England, long looked
forward to. I missed my
Canadian swimming and fishing,
but compensated with castles,
cathedrals and pubs.
Then it was fall, and what a
beautiful fall it was. It was as
though the Creator had said,
"You're rapidly destroying my
masterpiece, but I'm going to
give you one last taste of honey
before you drink the gall."
Fall brought new classes, new
faces, and the every-present
challenge of pounding some
principles into heads that were
more interested in whether to
have gravy or ketchup on their
french fries.
It also brought some shadows.
A colleague, who had been
courageously fighting cancer,
died. He was 37. A week la ter, one
of my students, a lovely, lively
girl of 18, became ill and died
overnight. A few weeks later our
head custodian dropped , dead
while putting out the garbage.
Two weeks later, two of our
students were killed in a car
crash. I teach their little brother.
Behind these personal joys and

sorrows, which all of us have to
some extent, rumbled the affairs
of the world.
Ignominious, for the
Americans, end to the Viet Nam
mess, The Watergate. A Vice-
President down the drain and a
President dishonoured, Strikes at
home and abroad. A new war in
the Middle East. An energy
crisis.
On the international front, it
was pretty well business as usual.
Everything normal, all fouled up.
Back on the home front, it was
also an average year. The odd
new wrinkle, a few hairs less on
the dome, teeth clamouring for a
total evacuation. Stuck with
daughter's cat. Stuck by kids for
various "grants" and loans." Old
Lady into one of her decorating
sprees. Storm windows on barely
in time for the first blizzard.
