Odds 'n ends
People in the news
Margaret Trudeau,
estranged wife of the Prime
Minister, made the headlines
when she entered hospital
recently for a tonsillectomy.
Former U.S. president Ford
was reported to have banged
his head several times
during his unsuccessful
campaign. President Car
ter’s brother, Billy, grabbed
the headlines a few weeks
ago by relieving himself
against a building while
touring some controversial
visitors around the country.
It isn’t always politicians
and movie stars that make
the headlines; it’s often
ordinary people, like you and
me, who do something out of
the ordinary. They may not
capture the front page, but
they make interesting
reading on the inside pages.
For example, a twenty-
three-year-old bearded
American created his own
stamp. He put his picture on
it and printed 15c (U.S.
postal rate) in the corner.
Then he placed the stamp on
an envelope addressed to a
friend of his in another city
and mailed it. The letter
arrived a few days later.
He wasn’t trying to rip off
the postal service; he just
wanted to prove how
vulnerable it was.
Meanwhile, an eight-year-
old boy has been arrested
eight times for car theft.
Police suspect he is involved
with a car theft ring. After
each investigation, he was
returned to the custody of his
mother, who is divorced
from her husband.
After the last incident,
though, he was made a ward
of the court and placed in a
foster home. The chances of
him becoming a lifetime
criminal are high, according
to the judge.
In the New Year, a man
and woman celebrated their
first anniversary. There’s
nothing unusual about that,

except the groom is twenty-
two and his seventy-seven-
year-old wife was his step
grandmother. His parents
didn’t approve of the
marriage but are slowly
becoming accustomed to it;
they come to visit oc
casionally. The couple lead a
quiet life going out to dinner
and disco
week.
Another
year-old
headlines last year when she
attended a disco in New York
with a younger man. The
proprietor told her to come
back whenever she wanted
and that’s what she’s been
doing — almost every night
until the wee hours of the
morning. Now she plans to
marry a young man.
On the subject, of New
York, a man suggested
skywriters’ should start
using oxygen instead of
smoke because of the
pollution.
Another man proposed
setting a day aside to mark
“nothing.” He argued that
we have a day for
celebrating almost
everything else — birthdays,
Heritage Days, Labour Day,
St. Patrick’s Day, Valen
tine’s Day, etc. Why
shouldn’t we set a day for
celebrating “nothing”
before all our days are taken
up by other events, he asked.
His only problem was
explaining how people
should spend the day. What
do we do to celebrate
“nothing”? Nothing?
If we dig beyond the front
page and look under the
smaller headlines, we can
learn about different people
and circumstances — some
sad, some strange, some
laughable, all interesting.
