Times-Advocate, 1978-12-14, Page 6Times-Advocate, December 14, 1978 gBy ELAINE TOWNSHEND You’ve certainly gotten thin! What happened to you? It seems like only yesterday you were clean and new, fat and full of promises. You tell me that was eleven months ago. A piece of you was mercilessly torn away, as each month pass­ ed, used for a shopping list and then thrown into (he garbage. What’s left of you is soiled and covered with scribblings in pencil and in ink. The year took it’s toll on you, but you still managed to fulfill your purpose. You Odds 'n ends Rebekahs have lunch Losing a friend helped me keep track of the days, weeks and months, the holidays and special events. You tried to remind me of birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions, that I was supposed to remember. It’s not your fault I forgot to look at you until they were over. What you need is flashing lights and blowing horns to catch my attention when impor­ tant dates are approaching. You showed you had a stubborn streak. When I thought winter had lasted long enough, you refused to budge from February. Even Mr. Ground Hog didn’t co­ operate, and I wondered whether I’d survive through March. The dandelions arrived, just the way you prophesied they would on your April page. You teased me a few times, too. In May, you made me look at a picture of mountains every day, reminding me that next month I’d take a trip through the Rockies. You hid June from me and made it seem far away. With July and August, you became a magician and per­ formed a disappearing act: the summer vanished before my very eyes. The spring and summer shows I had been attending suddenly turned into fall fairs. In September, you showed me a picture of huge trees that reminded me of the un­ cut forests on Vancouver Island. It was your subtle way of telling me all that was left of the trip was photographs and memories, and I probably won’t be back for a long time. In reflection, when the whole year of activities is over, all that will be left is photographs and memories, and we won’t be able to go back. September was also the month you informed me I would have my perience driving in Toronto, and with my usual sense of timing, the trip coincided with the city’s transit strike. Your October and November pages reflected the blazing autumn colours outside my windows. Yougave me a jolt when I turned to December. What did I see? — a frozen stream, snowbanks and hoarfrost. It was your way of telling me we were almost back where we started from. Another year has almost come and gone: it passed so quickly I could have lost track of the days, weeks and months. Thank goodness I had you to keep me up-to- date. I’ll start the next twelve months with a fresh new face hanging on the wall in your place. In fact, your replacement has already arrived. What will happen to you, my friend? After two more weeks and one more shop­ ping list, you’ll be tossed in the trash — a sad end twelve months of service. MR. AND MRS.
