Elaine, From Bobby, Christmas
1957. If someone calls my five-
foot-eleven-inch cousin "Bobby"
now, they risk a punch in the
nose.
My school chums, teachers and
relatives filled the pages with
quotes that ranged from nonsen-
sical lines to philosophical gems,
For example, a friend named
Sandra wrote:
"My hither is a butcher
My mother cuts the meat
And I'm the little wiener
Running down the street,"
In a similar vein, another girl
penned:
"The thunder roared
The lightening flashed
And all the world was shaken
The little pig rolled up his tail
And ran to save his bacon."
The boys' favourite joke
seemed to be:
"I put up my hand
The teacher said no
The joke was on the teacher
That I didn't have to go,"
It appeared several times, but
Willy broke the rule by jotting
down:
"I went to the theatre tomorrow,
I took the front seat at the back,
I fell from below to the gallery
And hurt the front port of my back."
Willy's leaky pen left a blob of
ink in the middle of the page, and
he apologetically added a large
(SORRY) under the smudge.
At the bottom of the back
cover, someone printed in tiny
letters:
"By hook or by crook I'll be last in
your book."
Other verses contained best
wishes and advice for life.
Characteristically one of my
teachers illustrated a simile:
"May your life always be like
arithmetic,
Your sorrows subtracted,
Your happiness added,
And your joys multiplied."
Trust a teacher to plug a
subject she knew I detested.
Meanwhile one of my aunts,
who incidentally became a
teacher, used a metaphor:
"As you travel the hill of the coming
years,
May you travel in high and never
shift gears,
With plenty of spark and never a
knock
And a joy filling station in every
block."
Another aunt contributed this
bit of wisdom:
The thing that goes the farthest,
Towards making life worthwhile-
That costs the least and does the most
Is just a pleasant smile."
And from my grandmother
came this advice:
"When o bit of sunshine hits you,
After passing of a cloud,
When a bit of laughter gets you
And your spine is feeling proud

The other clay, while sorting
through a box of my school texts,
I discovered a tattered
autograph book. The album look-
ed as though it was rained on, sat
on and played catch with, before
it was packed away and
forgotten. Although the ink was
faded and smudged, most of the
verses were legible.
On the inside of the front
cover, the book was dated: "To
Don't forget to up and fling it,
At a soul tho.'s feeling blue,
For the minute that you fling it,
It's a boomerang to you,"
My favourite verse, however,
was quoted by another teacher:
"Isn't it funny that princes and kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust
rings
And common people like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Mr. and Mrs. Sam King,
Crediton celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary on
Saturday, July 3, 1976. A dinner
was held at the Crediton Com-
munity Hall with an Open House
following attended by a large
number of persons.
Mrs. King was the former
Isabelle Donaldson. The couple
were married in Exeter on July 3,
1926 by Rev. Duncan McTavish.
They farmed in Stephen
township south of Crediton before
Each is given a chest of tools,
A shapeless mass, and a book of
rules
And each must build ere life hath
flown
A stumblingblock or a
steppingstone,"
Forgotten names, funny lines
ancl'philosphical gems turn up in
strange places , . . like a faded
autograph book.
moving to their present home on
Main Street in Crediton 13 years
ago.
They have two daughters, Mrs.
Earl (Eunice) Whalen,
Petawawa and Marlene Mahoney
of Cambridge. They have four
grandchildren.
Best wishes were received
from Prime Minister Trudeau,
Ontario Premier William Davis,
Huron-Middlesex MPP Jack
Riddell, Huron MP Bob McKinley
and Governor General Leger.
