During the two-and-a-half years I've written "ODDS o' ENDS", I've heard many comments from the readers, Some people call, some write and others stop me on the street to remark about a certain subject, Most of the views have been favourable, but one lady took exception to a remark I made about tinted hair. A column supporting non- smokers prompted a call from a woman whose husband suffers from emphysema and finds that smoke irritates his condition. Incidentally, shortly after the column was released, my father stopped smoking. I doubt the article affected his decision, though; if I influenced him, it took me twenty years to do it. Nostalgia seems to spark a great deal of interest. A column about the one-room school, in which I received my public school education, brought a note from a former teacher, who now lives in Toronto. He wrote: "Pm sure the `little red schoolhouse' that you spoke of is the one in which I taught more than twenty years ago, Your column brought back some happy memories of my stay in Goderich township." I'll bet it brought back memories of some trying times, too, but he didn't mention those. Besides his job, he remem- bered the social activities of the rural community — dances and card parties held in the school on Saturday night, tobogganing on hills near the school and skating on a farmers pond. A story about an old country church inspired similar recollections. Former members of the congregation recalled numerous events, but one of the most popular stories concerned varnishing the pews. It seems the congregation initiated a painting bee to brighten up the seats, and on the next Sunday, everyone com- mented how nice they looked. But the weather was hot and muggy, and when the parisioners rose for the first hymn, they were disgruntled to feel their good Sunday clothes sticking to the pews. A description of the wares in a general store during the 1920s, and a list of their prices caused such reminiscence as: "A big barrel sat at the end of the counter filled with pickles, and we helped ourselves," and "Once in a while, mother used to send me to the store with a nickel and a bowl, I'd get the bowl filled with scoops of ice cream. That was our dessert for supper, and it was a real treat!" In a more recent column, I explained that people often misspell my name, leaving the "h" out of Townshend. A few weeks later I received a letter from a lady in Saskatoon. She began by writing. "Townshend" ten times across the top of the page. Although she and her husband have been friends of my parents for several years, she admitted, "I never knew there was an "h" in Townshend; I've been spelling it wrong for twenty years," To my amazement, the column that drew the most response in the last few weeks was entitled "My Green Phone". What's topical about a colored telephone? You'd be surprised at the number of people who have green phones and thought they were the only ones who did. One lady confided she'd like to have a powder blue model. Whether the comments about "ODDS n' ENDS" are negative or positive, critical or flattering, it's encouraging to discover someone actually reads what I write.
