Times -Advocate, January 9, 1975
Well, it's over.
The holiday,. that we waited
twelve months for, is now only a
memory. The celebration for
which we spent'many weeks and
many dollars in preparation has
ended. With the unwrapping of
the Christmas gifts, the suspense
vanished.
Our New' Year's Resolutions
are resolved, and some of them
are already broken. New Year's
Eve with all its cheer is gone; the
party's over.
What's left? Many of us are
busily exchanging unsatisfactory
Christmas presents — mitts that
are too large, socks that are too
small, ties that clash with suits,
cracked bowls, blankets with
flaws in the wool and records that
the recipient already owned.
Some of us still suffer from
upFet stomachs, headaches and
weary bones; most of us are
plagued by a heavy feeling,
which results -from the addition of
a few pounds. The majority of us
experience a mental let -down,
which is as predictable as the
January frost.
We have passed the date that
many of us consider the highlight
of our year. The hustle and
bustle. 'the anticipation, ex-
citement and cheer of the
Christmas and New Year's
season is over. Now it's time to
settle down to the old grind.
What remains for us to look
forward to? We face the gloomy
prospect of gray days and long
nights, of snow and ice and
howling wind.
For a jaunt to the corner store,
we'll require an extra half-hour
to don our sweaters, jackets,
boots, scarves and gloves.
We'll battle with ice on the
windshields of our cars, and we'll
nurse frostbitten fingers as a
result. We'll often hear the
spinning of tires, and we'll
sometimes resort to the
desperate plea, "Will somebody
please give me a push?"

Odds n' Ends

We'll tackle slippery sidewalks
and trod through slush that is
deeper than we thought. Then
we'll carry a heavy weight of
snow in our boots and feel an
uncomfortable dampness around
the hottotris of our pantlegs. '
We'll suffer from sniffles,
sneezes, coughs, sore throats add
tender, red noses. During ".the
next few weeks, these are the
conditions we can expect.
To tolerate these dismal
thoughts, we must cling to op-
timism.. If we_ search deeply
enough, we can find positive
points in almost every situation.
For example, with the con-
clusion of the American football
season, Canadian wives are
reunited with their husbands,
who have been glued to the TV
sets. Of course, the reunion may
be interrupted on Saturday and
Wednesday nights when ,the
hockey games are televised.
Winter sports now abound, and
few people begrudge the
snowmobilers, skiers,
tobogganists, curlers and ice
skaters their fun.
Besides, the shortest day of the
year has passed; each new day
retains its light a few seconds
longer and takes us one step
closer to spring.
Ground Hog Day is less than
three weeks away; Valentine's
Day' arrives in only thirty-six
days. and St. Patrick's Day in
sixty-seven: Easter occurs in less
than three months; and in 'just
two -and -one-half months, spring
officially begins. Winter will soon
be over — we hope.
Instead of mourning the good
times that have passed, we
should concentrate on the good
times that await us. The cheerful
tolerance of our winter hardships
combined with the anticipation of
aur winter fun and of spring's
eventual return helps us to
overcome the January let -down.

'HMCS Strathroy' bell
on display at museum
Of special interest to the
residents of Strathroy is the bell
from the Corvette H.M.C.S.
Strathroy on display, just inside
the entrance at the Museum. It
was presented to th comfflunity
op May 13, 1946 by four seamen
and an officer Lieut. D. 'M,
Jackson of the H.M.C.S. Prevost
on behalf of the Minister of
National Defence. At the request
of Miss Jean Thomson it was
placed in the library and then
later transferred to the Museum.
The Corvette was launched on
August 30, 1944 at Midland,
Ontario. She was'cornmissioned
on November 20, 1944 and paid off
on the 12th day of July 1945.
The "Strathroy" was an escort
vessel that sailed between
Halifax and the West Indies
during World War II. It was in
seevice only one year and during
that time the sailors aboard were
supplied with various comforts
such as chocolate bars and
cigarettes by the people of
Strathroy. After the war, the
vessel was sold to the Chilean
Navy.
A unique -incident in the story
of the Corvette wat•the fact that
when the "Strathroy' entered the -
harbour at Santiago for the first •
time, Norman Chambers,
husband of a former Strathroy
girl, Miss Jean Thompson, was
present at the pier. In charge of
the vessel, at the time was Cap-
tain David M. Jackson, a nephew
of Mrs. A. Leigh and Mrs. W.
Hambly of Strathroy. Although
no one from the town served on
board the vessel, several tried to
secure positions on it.
The base on which the' Bell ,
rests was made at the 'Middlesex
Furniture Company Limited and
presented to the town by Gordon
Mihell who was then in charge of
the firm.
