Last week's column mentioned
that unspeakable species, the
readoholic. That reminded me of
a speech I made about Good
Reading Habits to a group of hon-
our students. So I' dug up the
speech and propose this week to

Christmas bills.
I became a readoholic shortly
after I learned to read. My
mother would moan, as she tore
the flashlight out of my hot little
hand about 2 a.m., "Billy Smiley,
you'll be blind by the time you're
fifteen if you don't stop reading in.
dark -corners -and cubby-holes."
Nell,, I've been reading: in dark
'''''corners and bright -ones, on
planes and trains, in the bath-
room and in bed, in revolving
doors and on escalators, ever
since, and I'm not blind. yet. I
don't even wear glasses.
But 1 don't want you to think I
just ignored my 'mom's ad-
monition. I have never since read
in a cubhy-hole. In fact, you can
scarcely ° get your hands on a
cubby-hole ' these days. They
seern to have ,gone the way of
spats and straw hats.
I had trouble with that speech
to the kids. The, principal had
suggested the topic, Good Read-
ing Habits, and, who was I to tell
him it was a dull and stupid
topic?
When I sat down to write the
speech, I could think of only one
good reading habit. Many years
ago, when I was in public school,
they taught us in health classes
that you should always read with
the light coming over your left
shoulder. I don't know why.
They're still teaching it.
This good reading habit is
rather useless if your left
shoulder is higher than your right
one, as is sometimes the case.
And of course, if you are reading
Hebrew or Persian, and read
from right to left, it seems more
logical to have the light coming..
over your right shoulder.
I had to admit to the students
that this was the only good
reading habit I could remember.
That seemed to be the end of the
speech. Then I thought, "Heck,
this is . no good." So I confessed
that I could say, without pride,.
but with little fear of contra-
diction, that I had the most atro-
cious reading habits of any male
in Canada.
;s sated that Mall inst d
alp TM ilea ,.,. bi s ! Th
if they listened carefully, a d
immediately , afterward forgot
everything I had said, they would
be well on the way* to acquiring
Good Reading Habits. There was
general agreement that this was
a sensible approach.
I warded them of the depths of
degradation to which a read-
oholic . would descend to get his
stuff. I told them that an alco-
holic or a drug addict would stoop
pretty low to get the wherewithal
for his habit. And I told them this
was kid stuff compared to what
the readoholic would stoop to.
I gave them an example: a
friend of mine during the war. He
had the habit very badly. I lost
track of him, but heard' from
friends that he had managed to
kick it.
Then one day, a couple of
months after the war, I met him

responsible.

apple tree. The old story is that
he was sleeping, but the truth is
that he had justpicked up a copy
of the recently published "Fanny
Hill" and was definitely reading.
Apple fell, hit him on the head,
and we had the Law of Gravity,
without which we'd be in very
grave shape.
And there was the Greek,
Aiichimedes. He climbed into the
bath one day for a quiet read.
Immediately he opened his book,
he knew something was wrong.
He leaped out of the tub, crying,

Scratched Marble
Marble is' inclined, through
use, to lose some of its .lustrous
polish and sometimes even be-
comes a little scratched. If the
scratches are quite ,fine, they can
often be buffed away and the
entire surface repolished with
putty powder applied with a
damp cloth. You can' perform
this polishing"either by hand or
with an electric polisher. This
takes some persistent elbow
grease, however, and • a degree
of patience. Waxing is never
necessary for marble, but U you
really must, use a colorless, light
paste wax. Waxing of white
marble is • not recommended,
since this can In time impart a
yellowish, tinge to the marble.

This anecdote brought' me
toward my peroration. It
reminded me that I knew of an-
other Good ,Reading Habit, Tbill
made.two. A good Reading Habit
is to read in the bathtub.
Someone once said that the
ideal learning situation was a boy
sitting on one end of a log, and
Mark Van` Doren, the great U.S.
educator, sitting on the other.
My notion of the ideal learning
tuation would be a classroom
with thirty-five bath -tubs instead
of desks. And •Up at the front, a
super -tub, preferably in pink
mother-of-pearl, for Mr. Smiley.
It might be a little expensive,
but think of the special effects we
could get when teaching the
Spanish Armada in history, or
Old Man and the Sea, in English.
Perhaps I should add that we'd
be wearing swim suits.
