Village Squire, 1979-04, Page 21McGILLI(UDDY'S DIARY
Village Squire presents the exclusive
feature: the diary of Ezekial McGillicuddy,
police chief of the village of Hamhocks,
Ontario. Well known for his courageous
battle against the forces of evil, Chief
McGillicuddy has agreed to give exclusive
rights to his diary to Village Squire ... for a
princely sum of course. Each month we
publish a selection of entries from the
previous month.
MARCH 5: Boy what fun they're having
with Maggie "The Mouth" Trudeau. That
girl has more stories to tell than Readers
Digest. Every day the papers are filled with
some new tale. If the girl really did
everything she's supposed to have done,
she'd have to be about 82... or at least
she'd look it.
Ah we've had our own scandals in town
though. There was the time the Mayor
went down to the Good Roads Convention
in Toronto. Councillor Sally Hemple had
said she wasn't going to go down to such a
disgusting, degrading event as that
convention. She'd heard tales of it before,
she said. But she just happeded to be in the
city at the time and decided to slip down for
one of the seminars. Well when she got
there. the Mayor was nowhere in sight. so
she went looking for him.
She finally found him by the pool with a
beautiful young woman in a very skimpy
bathing suit. The Mayor must have been
over -exerting himself in the swimming
pool because when Sally walked up to him,
his face was bright red. He was just
visiting his niece here, he told Sally. Well
Sally must have been in one of her better
moods because for once she wasn't seeing
the worst in every situation although she
did read the Mayor a lecture later on about
letting his young niece be seen in public in
such a disgusting outfit.
The trouble really came at church the
next Sunday when Sally walked up to the
Mayor and Mrs. Lumpy and mentioned
how nice it was to meet the Mayor's niece
in Toronto at the convention. If she thought
the Mayor had a red face before, she
hadn't seen anything yet.
MARCH 15: The snow's melting really
nicely these days. It's so nice to get rid of it
all and discover that there really is earth
under all that, even if it does mean sinking
ankle deep in mud for a couple of weeks.
It wasn't mud that Mary Filmore was
unhappy about however. Things have been
kind of quiet between Mary and her cats
and Howard Hillman and his dogs next
door over the winter. I guess I knew it
couldn't last.
Tis spring again and this potter starts to think
of plant pots, jardinieres, hanging planters and
all things anew.
Look for our new store opening soon at our
present location.
