Sugar and Spice
By Bill
Just this minute I looked at tWL
calendar, and realized, that I have
another birthday' coming up next
week, I'm. never• sure how old I
am, I always have to remember
the year in which I was born, and
subtract it from the present year.
For the past three or four years,
I haven't had a clue whether I was
37, 38 or 39, without doing arith.'
metie.
* *
The figuring completed, it came
as no shock to me that I'll be 39 on
June 2nd, and I accepted the foe(
that I'm well past' the midway
mark with a reasonable lack of
panic. After all, I've still got some
hair, half a dozen of my own
teeth, and one or two of my fact*
ties.
Not that the relentless years
haven't taken their toll, Thanks to
an oft-broken nose, I have no sense
of smell whatever. But this is not
entirely a disadvantage, True,.I
can't smell 'perfume on dames, but
this is safer. I can't smell food
cooking, but it keeps me ,from
gorging and growing obese,.On the
silver -lining side, I can't smell
Onions, skunks, manure piles or
whiskey breaths.
* *
And I have a lot more aches and
pains. I don't leap out of bed any
more, carolling "here bath been
dawning' another blue day, think
wilt thou let it slip, •lasele,ss away?'
I kind 'of edge 'out,- ,ircianine and
grunting, swinging noir bad leg to
the floor with both hands. But It's
amazing how much datichtg, weed-
ing and praying that bad leg 'gets
me out of. •
* *
No, it isn't -the physical' diSinte-
gration that gets me down. What
disturbs me is the automatic accel-
eration of time with the advancing
years. The older you get, the tast-
er it flies, Which Is both unreason-
able and unfair,
* *
When you are five years" old, life
progresses at a barely discernible
'pace, It is made up of endless in,
vestigations of Imud, breakables,
dogs and similar interesting things,
broken only by leisurely, messy
meals and long, dreamless sleeps.
A regular 'picnic. ,
*
When you are ten, life is still in
rush, A month away, or even
next -Saturday seems like a long
time. SuMmer holidays stretch
lazily, interminably ahead, You
,can't conceive of becOming a mid-, die aged man of thirty, it seems
So far oft.
* *
At fifteen, especially if you're
suffering frbm a small ease Of tin-
requited love, some pimples on the
day of the dance, or some such
catastrophe, a few hours can be as
endless as eternity. Even at twen-
ty, time is limitless, something to
be spent, not treasured.
* *
In. othe'r words, during the for-
mative years, when your apprecia-
tion. of life is aboilt as deep as
that'of a puppy, time dawdles, loi-
ters, tarries, pokes and inches
along, You waste great gobs of it
playing, pretending, dreaming,
Mooning or just mailing about.
* * *
Then, when you begin to mature
enough to enjoy life to the full,
time begins- to ,dangle along at ari
alarming Clip, By the time you
have acquired the wisdom and, per-
ception to SavoUr ever y moment
of life, every scent and sighl and
sound, your senses of smell, sight
and hearing are dulled, and time
is careening past you like a fire
truck.

And when you have grown old,
and every second, is infinitely pre&
hjus, suddenly there is no time for
anything except to 'prepare for
death, Perhaps it is as well that

and miseries When We get old,

I went once around' our small
lake, and I was beginning to feel
more .relaxed, and I even: enjoyed
the. sense of speed. Then I re-
membered Bill's instructions. "Dad
—be careful about stopping. You've
got to do something you did when
starting only in reverse. Slow the
motor, stand up quickly, and lean
forward. Otherwise, she'll swamp
herself and you'll dunk the motor."
I didn't give a hoot about the
motor by this time. I didn't want
to dunk Myself. I made a tenta-
tive effort.to zee if I could stand,-
I was by no means sure I could
untangle myself from the boat,

seemed to get them awful fast—I
could see grins a mile wide, except
for Bill and thy. wife, I guess he
was worried . about me dunking

and I think -my wife was wonder-

flipped his lid.
It is wonderful what you can do
if you must, and luck favors you,
About ten feet from, the pier I
said a quick prayer, squeezed
the motor to slow, and somehow
stood up and leaned (I really fell)
forward on the ribbing, She plan-
ed hi smoothly.
"Pretty good, oh?" Bill said.
"Oh , I guess I handled her
all right," I said modestly,
"I mean the boat," he said.
There was no general applause,
Not from the crowd, There was
even a scolding from the wife. But
I felt good. Mighty good. There's
life the old boy yet!

SPRUCING UP
Although, we have nothing fur-
ther on the subject since the town
council made its first announcement,
we expect that this -summer will see
the town hall, painted . and thereby
vastly improved in appearance. The
councillors even talked of the possi-
bility •of removing the tower from
the 'building, buit,that ifrs still in the
planning stages. -
" Anew coal of paint on the. wood-
work of the public building would
add greatly to the appearance of the
main street generally and it might
prcivide worthwhile incentive for the
store owners to follow suit. Although
out-main street is by no Means grub:-
by, it can always be improved We
know of no better advertisement for
a town than a •bright and tidy busi-
ness section. It is to all intents and
purposes the show window of
the community;, those' who drive
through the town are often induced
to shop and look around if a town
looks attractive,
Fresh paint does something for
morale as well: The merchant who
has taken the trouble to spruce up
his place of business is always inclin-
ed to carry the effort right through
his store and stock.; He feels himself
aw snore vital part of the community
generally and perhaps even brightens
up his sales effort, to the benefit of
himself and his town.
Now, with all this pitch for more
paint, we have convinced ourselves,
It's time to add a fresh coat to the
old newspaper office too.

TO THE FUTURE
Frost has so far kept his promises
to a minimum where government
action is concerned, He has relied
chiefly upon the promise which fu-
ture years hold for Ontario—and has
asked that his party be permitted to
continue its management of our pub-
lic affairs as the future unfolds,
'A VERY "FINE ASSET
Last Monday saw the opening of
the Wingham Golf Course for the
1959 season. Those- who were out
for'.,-the- „. tournament& , .,commented_ .
very favorably on the condition of
the course in general, and they were
perfectly right. As a result of hard
work on the part of various club
members and officers the course is
rapidly developing into one of the
finest in the area.
In a few short years the Course
has been changed from a rough pa.s-
ture farm into a smooth, green recre-
ation. area, devoted to one of the
most popular sports we know. It is
aan,excellent asset for the community
generally, of more than passing
value even to those' who have never
had a .golf club in their hands. It
provides one more point of interest
and attraction for those A:vho might
.consider taking up residence in our
town=--and we certainly want all the
residents we can get, up to reason-
able limits.
However, much more important
than the promotional aspect, is the
social and recreational facility it pro-
vides for all those who wish to play
the game. The relaxation and pleas-
ant company offered by the game
provides a first-class meeting place
for residents of the community. This
is particularly .true since the club is
no way limited to persons of any one
class or cliqUe.
ROAD MARKINGS
NEEDED
ounty TOad': committees in• our
- part of the province have been fac-
ing staggering demands for increas-
ed• expenditure;, particularly during
the past three or four years: They
have been forced to doubleand/treble
their .-budgets to meet the require-
ments of -modern traffic. FOr 'the
most part they have done an excel-
lent job, but there is one point where
they are falling down.
Many of the county road's in this
area have -no centre line markings.
The roads themselves have been re-
built,, hundreds of old-fashioned
bridges have been replaced' by new
structures which are wider and safer.
Thus' the average speed of traffic on
the roads has increased sharply. To- •
day's driver, however, is accustomed
to the use of white centre lines as
indicators of his car's position on the
road; as well as guides as 'to when,
passing may be done safely.
There is perhaps an added danger
when one travels a smooth road,
where higher speeds are quite safe—
except that the centre marks are
missing. We have in mind the re-
cent accident near Teeswater in
which three young men lost their
lives. Certainly it is the driver's
responsibility to see that his car is
always under control and on its
proper side of the road, whether the
lines are there or not—but responsi-
bility is not enough when lives are
at stake.
THE HARD SELL
or the first time since the *S-
ing of the American Civil War in
1865, U.K. sales to the U.S. have ex. •
ceecled U,S, exports to. Britaiti, .In
the first quarter of 1959 the trade*
balance in the U.K.'s favor vkfas over
$7,5 million and the trend is'ttpward.
This is a remarkable achievement,
says The Financial. Post, for a coun-
try which lost so much in the war
and since, And ,it is all the more re-
markable when you 'realize that in
1865 the British pound was worth
$7.00 in terms of US. currency and
the Americans of both north and
south were eager to buy anything in
the way of munitions or manufac-
tured 'goods the British shops could
