This column should have
been written last night. The
mailing deadline is today.
But in my infinite wisdom. I
decided to leave it until mor-
ning. I reasoned that. if I
went to bed early. I'd wake
up refreshed - ready to write
a sparkling brilliant piece.
I was wrong.
The first thing I did this
morning when the alarm
went off was hit the drowse
button - three times. I would
have hit it the fourth time.
but I was afraid of breaking
it.
While I drowsed. I was
serenaded by a number of
birds that take advantage of
a neighbours' bird feeder
and a shady tree in the
backyard. It's a great sound
to wake up to! After waiting

all winter to hear it. 1 like to
give myself the luxury of a
few iinutes each morning
of jutlistening.
A iend of mine. who's a
city dweller, once complain-
ed about noisy birds waking
her up whenever she visited
a countryplace. But to most
of us country folks. it's
music.
Finally 1 shut off the
alarm clock and coaxed my
eyes open. The first thing I
saw was a fly on the ceiling.
I began to think. How did
he get up there? And how
does he stay there?
He flew up. you say.
That's right. But. when he
was at my level he was right
side up. To land on the ceil-
ing, he had to turn upside
down. Did he make a 1t;0
degree roll in mid-air or a
vertical flip?
When you think about it.
the common housefly is a
genius when it comes to
aerobatics.
And. after he gets up
there. how does he stay
there? Does he have suction
cups on the bottom of. his
legs? I think not. If he had
suction cups. how could he

take off so fast when I'm
about to swat him?
If anyone has the answer
to the preceding vitally im-
portant questions. I'd sure
like to know.
The other question that
came to mind was one my
father asked me a few days
ago. Why do people plant
large lawns and flowerbeds
when they know they'll have
to cut them and weed them''
I wonder if he was
remembering that it was my
brainstorm a few years ago
to seed a large area of lawn
between the house and barn
and to buy a riding lawn
mower. A while after per-
suading him to do it. I left,
and I never seem to be
around now when the grass
needs cutting.
With these thoughts
floating through my head, I,
made my way to the old
typewriter. The deadline
was drawing ever closer,
and I didn't have a single
brilliant or sparkling thing
to say.
On well. maybe next
week...

Auxiliary raises
$5200 from sale
Over $5200 was raised in
one of the best rummage
sales sponsored by the
Auxiliary to South Huron
Hospital. Convener Louise
Giffin said that donations
were up, and the crowds
were bigger than ever,
making for the successful
sale. Hundreds were lined up
before the door opened at the
South Huron Rec Centre.
Mrs. Giffin said that the
success of the sale depends
on the many volunteers. She
stressed that the area from
which donations are
collected covers all of South
Huron. Several men helped
collect the donations, while
about 80 women worked
during the sale.
Auctioneer Norm Whiting
donated his services for the
auction sale, which took
place in the afternoon at the,
rummage sale. About 8450
was raised in the auction
sale. .
Items left over after the
rummage sale were donated
to Good Will Industries in
London.
Mrs. Giffin said that the
money has not yet been
earmarked for a particular

fall's sale went towards the
purchase of several new
beds for the hospital. The

and the money is spent ac-
cordingly, Mrs. Giffin said.
The Auxiliary will not be
