Lampoonery
by Bud Sturgeon
You are probably sitting there whistling back a
Buckeye and wondering just what to get for that
one hard to please person left on this year's
Christmas list. Here are my personal
suggestions for the discriminating `presentee' -
and above all, if it is an.. expensive gift,
remeanber toaedidental"ry`leave the price tag on
it.
FOR THE PETLOVER we have a cute little
charmer called 'My. Puppy Riddles'. It is a
plastic dog that sucks water from a bowl when its
head is pushed in and squeezed. It also relieves
itself in a special litter box, due to an ap-
propriately placed spike. This `puppy' is great
for people who haven't got time for the real thing
and it teaches kids all about "movements" in
animals.
FOR THE CAMERA BUFF we suggest
something for nature photography. How about a
roll of colour film, a bird feeder and ten pounds
of sunflower seeds. For those who prefer action
shots, top it off with a full grown pet cat.
FOR THE FLOWER LOVER a country sur-
prise. A box of fresh farm manure and a handful
of seeds is an inexpensive gift that will ' be
remembered for many years to come.
FOR 'THE INTELLECTUAL,, a time limit
game with coloured blocks that have to be
arranged in seauence or steel ring puzzles that
any kid can assemble correctly in a matter of
minutes but causes adults hours of frustration, is
a number one priority gift selection. You might
want to include a hammer or some other
pounding instrument in the parcel, just in case.
FOR THE EATER,, the -. selections ares
limitless. Every family has a fatso and you can
watch his face light up on Christmas morning
when he ties into a box of chocolate covered
locusts, fish eyes packed in their own juice or a
pickled "pope's nose".
FOR THE ART LOVER, a cheap imitation of a
famous painting or statue is a must. It'll bring
tears to his or her eyes when the package is
opened.
FOR THE CHEAPSKATE, we suggest a $25
gift certificate towards a brand new 1981 Por-
sche Turbo or a similar car. If $25 is too much to
spend on the `piker', find 24 others to go in on it
with you.
FOR THE HANDYMAN in the family, what
would be appreciated most would be a First Aid
Kit.
If none of these gift suggestions please your
fancy there is always a year's subscription to the
Bayfield . Bugle available through the Clinton
News -Record. And now for niy own list.
Dear Santa Claus:
I am expecting you and I have been extra good
for the past week or so. I want a new bottle
opener, a case of Buckeye, color TV for the
bedroom, money lin large denominations,
Blondie, 6,000 inches of nevi's. for 1981, a bigger
desk, a new truck, Blondie, the mortgage paid
off, a winning lottery ticket, Blondie and an
office at the Clinton News -Record.
We'll discuss it over an ale on Christmas Eye.

Other demonstrators
were; equally concerned
about the social aspects.
The wife of one of the
deportees described how
she was now left to fend
for herself and her
children with winter fast
approaching.
"What sort of Christ-
mas will it be for my
children?" she asked
pathetically, tears
standing in her beautiful
black eyes. "What can I
tell them? This will be the
saddest Christmas we
have ever known and
worse than anything is
not knowing where their
father has gone and if he
willever return."
One of the more
politically .minded
demonstrators was not
anxious to be in-
terviewed. All he would
say was that steps were
being takenon behalf of
the squirrel population to
assert their rights, but for
the time being the
policies being formulated
were the concern of those
involved.
