Sugar and spice
By Bill. Smiley
demeaning labour not worth looking at.
But that half-dollar from the manse was
wealth, to me. It meant ten bottles of pop,
five matinees, a night at the movies with a
girl friend.
I asked the young entrepeneur who did my
place how his business was going. Only in
his twenties, he sounded like a right-wing
conservative. He claimed that young fellows
don't want to work anymore, don't do a
decent job when they do work, don't show up
for work, and are generally unreliable,
shiftless, irresponsible, and plain lazy.
"Then how do you get guys like the ones
who worked so hard at our place?"
He admitted that he had to get someone
who. was hooked on motor-bikes or racing
cars, and needed money to supply the habit.
In my day, of course, if you had a habit, it
was something as expensive as biting your
fingernails or sniggering at off-colour jokes
or drinking so much Pepsi you got pimples,
which wrecked your love life, which was
non-existent anyway, so it didn't matter.
I'll never forget the time I found a dollar
bill, in the snow. It was the first one I'd
actually, ever held in my hands. I dreamed of
eloping to the South Seas with a girl I had my
eye on in Grade five.
But it was not to be. There was certainly
enough money there, and I think she'd have
gone with me. Her parents were on relief.
But it was not to be.
With considerable pride, I told my mother
about the dollar. She promptly went all
Presbyterian on me, took the buck from my
grimy paw and announced that we'd have to
find out who'd lost it.
That was my last chance to run away. I
don't know what happened to the dollar bill.
It probably went into twelve pounds of
hamburger (yes, it was three pounds for a
quarter, with some "dog hones", now
known as stewing beef thrown in free).
I don't quite know the moral of this
column. Maybe it is: Never Trust Your
Mother. But I don't think so.

Jean Young, Executive
Director, told the meeting
that Canada Manpower had
advised her that the training
course for Homemakers has
been reinstated, and a new
class will start in September
of 1981 at Conestoga Coll-
ege, Clinton Campus.
A slide presentation is
available to any group in
Huron County for the pur-
pose of informing as many
people as possible of the
services available through
Town and Country Home-
makers.
The Board has been at-
tempting to rotate their regu-
lar meetings throughout the

the next meeting is to be held

experience, and realized what it was. I had
been exposed to mal du temps, and barely
rescued by la memoire du fin de siecle.
I hope nobody will cancel subscriptions
because of the last paragraph. I am not
trying to shove bilingualism down anybody's
throat, and I think Pierre Trudeau is a ,..,
well, you know what I think.
What all that bad French means is that I
got a pain in the ass, then one in the
pocketbook, both relieved only by memories
of times past, accompanied by the inevitable
association that I'm just about ready to be
put out to pasture. Except that nowadays
they just send the horses to the elue factory.
O.K. Glue Factory, here I come, and if I can
even make a couple of things stick together,
I'll still be two jumps ahead of a millionaire
who hasn't been able to make one marriage
stick together.
Ah! Those golden days. When a nickel
would buy you: A Pepsi, a cup of coffee, a
phone call, a chocolate bar three times as big,
as those anemics of today, a good (?) cigar, a
ride on the carousel or the Ferris wheel.
When a dime would buy you a hamburger,
a piece of homemade pie, a Saturday
matinee, three eggs, a good (no question
mark) cigar, a draft of beer, a bottle of milk,
a loaf of bread. It's true, you unbelievers.
Those were the days when two boys
received from a minister of the church one
dollar and a half for working eight or nine
hours cleaning up the huge grounds on
which his huge manse was located, My older
brother got the dollar, I got the half. The
minister complained about a few leaves.
A couple of weeks ago, I engaged a young
man and his crew to clean up our yard. It
cost me $175.00. I didn't complain at all.
Why didn't you do it yourself, you'll ask.
Laziness, business, sore back, and the fact
that I can't get any young people to rake
leaves any more, even for three or tour
dollars an hour. They get an allowance from
their stupid parents that makes that sort of
