The untold side
of the ant-and-
grasshopper
An ant and a grasshopper
met last summer. The grass-
hopper was sitting on a blade of
grass, singing and playing a
four-handed fiddle. The ant
was carrying crumbs from a
nearby house and storing them
in a hole in the ground. He
put down the crumb he was
carrying and glared at the grase-
hopper with contempt. "Here I
am breaking my back to load
up my pantry for the winter and
there you sit, singing like
there's no tomorrow, You'll
sing a different solo, brother,
when the temperature tumbles."
"Don't bug me, Br'er ant,"
said the grasshopper. "I may
be singing but I'm thinking,
too. I'm getting so I can make
some real swinging music on
this fiddle. And there's a Mon-
arch butterfly down the road
who's giving me high altitude
flying lessons. I'm loading my
cranium, not my pantry."
"Sure," sneered the ant.
"Come the first cold snap and
you'll be knocking on my door,
begging for crumbs."
But that isn't the way it turn-
ed out. When the first frost
threatened, the grasshopper,
who had practiced his skills ar-
dently, soared south for the
winter, had a ball basking in
the sunshine and made a for-
tune playing his four-handed
fiddle. Meanwhile, the ant
shivered in his hole and ate
crumbs.
The moral of this story, Ae-
sop notwithstanding, is that a
little long-range planning is of-
ten better than a lot of short-
sighted thrift. -- Forethought.

They have started Centennial
Year with a bang, their first
show of the New Year being
shown on the COG Television
network on Monday evening of
last week. Is it my imagina-
tion, or do these guys get fun-
nier with each production?
Their opening number on 'why
shouldn't everyone have a song?'
was excellent, a masterpiece
of comedy writing, better than
many such things that have
been shown on North American
television. Although their last
skit, Methuselah and the Medi-
Legion, Auxiliary

"YOUR TOWN"
If YOU want to live in the kind
of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes
in a grip
And start on a long, long hike;
You cart only find what you left
behind,
For there's nothing really new.
You knock yourself when you
knock your town
It isn't your town, it's you.
Real towns aren't made by men
afraid
Lest somebody gets ahead.
If everyone works and no one
shirks,
You'll raise a town from the
dead.
If, while you make your per-
sonal stake,
Your neighbor makes his, too,
Your town will be what you
want to see.
It isn't your town, it's you.
" Nation's Business"
Isn't it funny -- no one ever
asks a MAN how he manages to
combine a marriage and a ea-
-
cares, was weaker than some
main skits in which they have
performed, it was entertaining.
It is easy for us to look at
these guys and say, "Well,
yeah, sometimes they're funny,
but sometimes they act like a
pair of fools!" Their last line
in the sketch about the King
who wouldn't laugh, pretty well
summed up everything -- "It
Shure ain't easy to make people
laugh" were the announcer's
words, and how Johny and Frank
must know this! The greatest
thing that one can do in today's
world is to make someone
laugh or smile; and if Johny
and Frank succeed in making
one person smile during their
hour, they have done a great
service„ I'm looking for great
things from Johny and Frank
during this Centennial Year;
I'm sure they won't fail me.
Special guest on this produc-
tion was Monique Leyrac, a
young French-Canadian singer
who is being called the greatest
new star of 1966. She made
her W and S debut singing the
beautiful, "I Will Wait For
You", and right away she was
on the right track. That song
would make anyone sound good!
But she does have talent and
charm and could go places --
and not just in Canada.
For all you budding 'Gordie
Howes', and your Papas, here

I don't mean to be catty,
and I certainly wouldn't want
to wish illness on anyone but
just between you and me,
wasn't it a real pleasure to see
one production of "Front Page
Challenge" without His Majes-
ty Gordon Sinclair? This par-
ticular show was taped while
Gordon was ill in hospital be-
fore Christmas, so Canadian
actor-director-you name it Ma-
yor Moore was in Gordon's
chair. And what a treat not to
listen to bickering and arguing
with the man who thinks he
knows everything, but doesn't
know enough to keep quiet
about it, If you're the type
who likes to see a good fight on
television, you must have miss-
ed him drastically. Personally,
I prefer entertainment when I
stick my head in the toob. Like
I said, I wish no one, not even
Sinclair, ill health and I'd be
most delighted if I knew he was
feeling chipper again, but he
spoils an otherwise fine TV
show for me and I'd love to see
him try something else in life,
like professional wrestling or
something similar!
