A borrowed typewriter and paper provided pArt of the solution. My sister and her family gave me a room to work in with relative peace and quiet - another problem solved. If I could have just borrowed some ideas, I could have breathed a sigh of relief. I would not have been staring at a blank sheet of paper with a blank mind. I considered taking a survey of suggestions, but abandoned the idea because I knew what the topics would be. Odds 'n ends A snowbound dilemma The number one suggestion would be horses. Unfortunately in our family,, four people claim they have a horse better than the other three and they can't even agree on the best breed of horse. Inevitably the story would come out about the girl who was almost kicked by another person's horse and developed an almost limp. I didn't need that kind of friction. Another topic would be oats. According to my niece, her cat, Corky, has a lot m common with Morris. Corky, too, was a stray, but he's much cuter than Morris I and Morris II. On a scale of one to ten, Corky rates a twelve, in my niece's estimation. But all cat lovers consider their pets to be the best, and all dog owners believe their pets to be the cutest, smartest and fastest. I could MR. AND MRS.

ROBERT LAING CROMARTY Cromarty Boy Scouts welcomed the break in the cold weather and held their winter campout at Pete Vandervliet's bush near Dublin. Arriving Saturday, they staryed until after lunch on Sunday and during that time learned survival techniques for winter camping.

Besides, I've already received letters from a ground hog a.,d a spider, via human correspondents, of course. It's reassuring to know my column is being read, and I wondered how many dogs, cats and horses I might hear from. Finally, I discussed the problem with my eight-year- old nephew, Brian. "Why don't you write about Star Wars or Dinosaurs?" he suggested. "You can even borrow my books." A light bulb flashed in my head. How many dinosaurs could I offend? I began leafing through Brian's book. There was the amphibian, Ichthyostega; reptiles, Edaphosaurus and Dimetrodon; flying reptiles, Dimorphodon and Rham- phorhynchus; and Stegosauras, an early plant eating reptile. Brian could pronounce those names; I couldn't. And I realized spelling them correctly would take all day. I'm not certain how many eight -year-olds read my column. Nor am I sure how many thirty-year-old readers could pronounce them. I hope Brian will be satisfied knowing his dinosaurs received mention in this space, if not full billing. I was back to square one, but I carefully avoided mentioning my predicament to my oldest nephew, the mechanic. He would launch into a tirade about what's right with his car and what's wrong with mine. Perhaps I should try to explain that, although weather and road conditions prevented me from heading northward home and although city streets were slippery, essential travel, such as attending hockey games, was possible. In three nights, I attended four hockey games • two novice, one Junior A and one. exhibition game between a Czechoslovakian juvenile team and a London junvenile team. All the teams I was cheering for lost, but the games were entertaining just the same. By the end of the fourth game, I was hoarse. Although no one spoke the feeling aloud, I suspect my hosts were hoping for laryngitis. No such luck! However, I did bring home with me a nasty head cold - the end of my snowbound travails in London.
