One of our spring and summer
catalogues arrived in the mail
today.
What a treat! I can curl up in a
chair for hours studying each
page. I become oblivious to the
snow outside. My mind wanders
far into the future.
I mentally arrange patio
furniture and watch kids playing
on a back yard swing. The pic-
tures of the swimsuits take me to
warm beaches, where sand
castles are built. The bikes trail
me down country roads shaded
by maples, and the motorboats
transport me onto a calm lake.
The tents and the sleeping bags
bring the sound of crickets to my
ears.
Thus the daydream book
provides me with a form of
escapism from the rigours of
winter,
For as long as I can remember,
I've anticipated the arrival of a
new catalogue. It filled the same
roles in our house as it did in most
other homes.
When I was young, it made an
excellent picture book. Later,
with a little imagination and a
pair of scissors, I turned the
figures of the boys and girls into
paper dolls. Many of my school
assignments featured pictures
from the catalogue. The old books
soon became riddled with holes.
Years ago, any old catalogue
that remained intact wound up in
the outhouse. Although its pages
were out-of-date, they still helped
to while away the hours.
Sometimes a few pages were
tacked on the walls to cover
cracks and to brighten the decor.
Of course, that was before my
Foster Vernon from the Bureau
of Senior Citizens of the ministry
of community and social services
was the guest speaker at the
Exetyr Senior Citizens meeting,
January 6,...at the Legion Hall.
Ha spoke on his work with the
government and senior citzens
groups and stated there are over
800,000 living in Ontario over the
age of 65.
Locally, he posed the
questions: "How many people
are there? Where are they and
who are they'? And what do they
want to do in their retirement
years? Many solutions and
suggestions were offered for the
acquiring of facilities to add to
the pleasures of retirement
years.
Charles Hoffman opened the
meeting by singing 0 Canada and
a moment of silence was ob-
served in remembrance of a
valued member and pianist, Mrs.
Frank King.
The program for which Mrs.
Gordon Wilson was responsible
was chaired by Rev. John Beaton
of Centralia. It consisted of a
piano instrumental by Ruth
Essery; several numbers on
piano and guitar by Penny and

time. Well, almost before my
time.
In the pioneer days, the mail-
order catalogue was one of the
most important books in the
home. Even if the family couldn't
afford anything, it was nice to
look at, The entire household
gathered around the kitchen
table admiring each page.
They saved their money until
they could buy one or two of the
things they really needed. Then
they filled out their order form
and mailed it away. In a few
weeks, they drove to the express
office to pick up their freight.
The catalogue has changed
since then. Some of the old
companies retired, and new ones
replaced them; others just
assumed different names. Some
catalogues now offer an even
wider selection from which to
choose, while others specialize in
a certain line of products, The
delivery has been quickened.
The convenience has also in-
creased because we shop in the
comfort of our home and order by
phone. We are notified when the
shipment arrives. Thus our only
exertion occurs when we drive to
the order office to pick up and pay
for our purchase.
Even this inconvenience is by-
passed in most cities, where
delivery trucks cart the parcels
to the door of the buyer's house. If
the item is unsuitable, another
phone call brings back the
deliveryman to return the
package.
Although the catalogue has
changed over the years and has
performed some unrelated
services, its main purpose
remains the same. It still tempts
we perusers to buy some of the
merchandise shown, and in the
process, it fills our minds with
daydreams.

Many years ago I had an ex-
perience I like to recall, thank-
fully.
I was employed in a small
village for two years. It was a
lovable place with a school, a
general store, a blacksmith shop,
wild a cheese factory.
Along behind these business
places, and fairly close, was a
cedar swamp, which extended
much farther than the village — a

were also two churches.
The people in the village and on
farms around were sociable. All
in all, it was a nice place to live.
One evening in Spring the
outdoors was so alluring with its
balmy air, I went outside, and sat
on, the doorstep of my boarding-
house, until it was almost dark. It
was fascinating — breathing the
unpolluted air, in which there
was an aroma of cedar wafting
over from the swamp; also to see
and feel nightfall gradually and
noiselessly taking over,
All was still and quiet, a perfect
setting for an unpredicted bird
call, "Whip-poor-will!" (Only
once, but loud and clear) from
the cedar swamp. What a
