BRUNO AN INSPIRATION •x English. Our own young lad rebelled at first when we trotted him off to the little one -roomed school down the road .that September he was six. "I can't understandnothin'!" he said. But by the time the schoolmarm got around to pi- ning the Christmas concert, his French was good enough to land him the role of one of the Wise - men. ,44 It was that same December when I discovered just how honest Onesime had been when he told me that he didn't think it worthwhile to argue about differ- ences of language and tradition. I went down to his place one night to borrow a drill and found his yard full of cars. And when he took me inside we passed through a living room where a dozen or more serious looking. people sat around with Bibles on their knees. I had the feeling we had interrupted a service of some kind. "We'll camp out here in the kitchen," Onesime said, closing the door to the other room. "Sorry," ,I said. "I didn't know you had guests tonight." • "Well it's Friday you see, and according to my wife's religion that's when church is supposed to be. They trade around,these people, about where to have their meetings, see? And every once in awhile they land up here." I put my ear to the door as One- sime opened a quart of beer and I heard enough of the speaker's remarks to realize that there was at least one part of his belief about which there was no mystery at all. These people cer- tainly weren't Catholic. "And how does it feel," I won- dered, "to be a good Mick and have to sit here in your own home listening :to stuff like that?" Onesime just laughed again and said that these were actually .very good people. Just happened that was the way they HAD to,be- lieve, that's all: "For all I know they might even be right," he Said. "I .don't let it worry me. I pay my priest to figure out things like that, and if he's wrong I don't think the man upstairs is going to blame me for it." And that same night when our beer was finished but the `sermon was still going strong, I was shoeked to discover that as for One me and blo bouie there would be iv) Owistmas that Nor arty OW year. "Thee* another thing niter wit"e'tbe- lieve in, be said. Her people are quite strict about.that. No Santa Via * tree, no . pres,, ents . ' But when I offered my deepest sympathy, out came the laugh again. "Oh 1 don't let It worry me none. We just have our 1i'un at New Year's, that's all , . , When I was:, a boy down Portneut way, New Year's was always THE day anyhow. That was the time .yet;# roasted the goose, see? And maybe you got a present and ab orange or two and the old man gave you his blessing. So it isn't so rough on me this way ... One thing it's sure as hell cheaper buying presents just after Christ- mas than before. And you can find a tree for free in your neigh- bor's snowbank. No, it makes my wife happy this way and I never let it worry me. Like I told you when you first came here, we've got so many important things to fit, i,t about we can't waste time arguing over little stuff." A few weeks later I sampled Onesime's New .Year's day and I was sure that its richness and hilarity . came from something more than the homemade wine he had brought up from the cellar. And. the more I think of it, . the more I am convinced that on that Friday night he opened his house to those Bible people, it . was really himself who had the ser- mon. I am convinced too that in his New Year's celebration there was a reminder to all of us that we in Quebec have a unique obli- gation to ,show this whole crazy fighting world that there are indeed far.more important things 1 for us to argue about than slrch piddling matters as the other man's language and religion. w Info available by telephone Have you ever "just missed" the markets on the radio? -Wallet cards are available in the Walk- erton Agricultural Office with Toronto phone numbers to call for, a recording of the current markets.
