Last week, I whined about our scanty social life one funeral, one wedding. However, we've had ;owe veery interesting visitors, Almost every day„ Roofers, painters, a coltun- lila, a student, a syndicate man,. a physiotipist, and,tie Most interest of all—my grand- :babby. And`I reckon I've learned a wee bit about htuuan nature in the process, Perhaps that's what it's Copy for Crossroads Classi- fieds must be received by 6 p.m., Wednesday,of week prior to pub- lication.

I like physical nature as well as the next man, but I am fascinated by human nature, Physical nature is interesting and fairly predictable. You plant a seed properly, nurture it, give it plenty of fertilizer, the right amount of sun and water, pluck out the weeds around it, and you windup with a dandy cucumber or turnip, or whatever you plant, ed, . But you ;can't do that with huRnans, though you try. Maybe we give them too much fertilizer, or don't pluck the weeds. We plant what we think is going to be a rose, and it turns out to be a cabbage. Or vice versa. Any par- ent knows this. By the way, don't get excited, or nervous. This is not a tract on Freudian sexual symbolism. It is merely a middle-aged man trying to express his astonishment at the .variegation of the human species. • Once again, I drift into one of those remote channels that end up in a swamp. Why not stick to ,the main stream? Back to our summer visitors. There - are two categories: those who caught us at home, and those who did not. Those in the latter category carne around when we were out doing something exotic, like shopping.. or at night, when we Were cringing IA the TV room, lights out, doors locked, phone .off the hook, arguing about whether we'd watch the John Wayne 1940 western or the Audrey Hepburn 1953' dazzler. Among these were two people who left notes. One was Doris Humphries, a lively columnist in the Renfrew Mercury. "Darn you, Bill Smiley. I came all the way from Renfrew ...

Doriw. I'll' buy you a dinner next time. I read your column every week in one of Canada'sbest weeklies. And remind your r boss that he still owes me a dinner. (He was a terrified infantryman when I was a terrified Typhoon pilot.) - Another note was from a stu- dent. Sharp mind, headed for university and law, Beware, you lawyers of five years from now, Don't fool with this young lady?, punk?, - women?, person? She'll murder you. Typically, with the deep respect my studentshave for me, her nate began,' "Hi, Smiley, I came around and you didn't even have the decency to be at home...." A few of the visitors caught us at home.. One was Bill Craig, of Argyle Syndicate, who has more to do with getting out this column than anyone except me, Our pre- vious acquaintance had been. on the phone. I expected a smart- alec young punk,of about twenty- six with the big sideburns, the big pants, and the hearty manner. I was shattered. He and- his wife Betty arrived for that noto- rious pre -dinner appetizer. They have an eighteen -year-old daugh- ter and a sweet, shy little son, James, who is five. Bill is a Korean war veteran. He demo- lished me at two games of chess, andfair ed o. play opiano. much for preconceptions. • 4 Some of the others who -colt us in were the pa. inters, and tom roofers. When we were up at the crack of dawn, ready foe any questions, they didn't show up. When we were up at the crack of noon, not ecpecting, them, they were buzzing the doorbell at 8410, like hornets, I report, not haply,; but just as an observer, that they were all stungseverelyb Y. number of hornets in our roof and environs. Then there was the Scotsman. He is a physiotherapist. Boy, that's a .hard word to spell, He wanted work, after hours, sohe, could buy a house. I was rather - intrigued by the idea that a young man actually wanted to work. , And then there was my bad 1*ck, which comes in handy very often. He's an excellent gardener, and our place -looks better than it has in a decade. . • But there, I've run out of space, and I haven't even told you of the party in our backyard for retard- ed adults, of the hellery of my grandbabby. He has just arrived again, and I can hear him - shouting downstairs for 'Bill, or somebody who understands that when he's alseep he is pure angel, and when he's awake he's pure . devil.
