11 `"gibing it." I've just been
through ten days of it,and have
another stretch coming " u r. I look
back on the one with aortalgia,
and forward to the other with
anticipation.
There area lot of men who go
around with a long' face when
their wife is going to be away for
a ape%!; and they'll have to look
after themselves. Some of them
would literally starve to death if
there„ were no restaurants.
Others actually "miss" their
wives constant babble.
And there art a lot of, women
who.aaare.convinced that their poor
weaklings of husbands will be
hard done by if they leave thein to
fend for thernselves for a . few
days. There are also a4 lot of
women' who are .convinced that
their husbands are going to miss
their presence dreadfully. Both
convictions are erroneous, in my
case.
I love my wife, but oh, you
happy, carefree days of batching
it. I feel -'the way I used to, about
nine years old, when school is
letting out in June.
For one thing, there's no
teacher at me all the time, trying
to make • me behave, clean up
after me, and learn something
new, all at once. This. pis hard
work, qnd I'm lazy.
Nope, when I pit the old battle-
axe on the bus, or see the car
drive off, I try to look mournful,
and wave a fervent goodbye, then
I give a great sigh of relief, and
feel like a fellow who has just
walked out the jailhouse gates.
I'm not saying that marriage is
synonymous with prison, though
it is a life sentence. I'm just say-
ing that it's nice to get a weekend
pass once in a while, for good be -

girl disavows over the horisse
is kick my oboe. of, settle do'm
in a . comfortable chair w
beerand the evening papers. f
read it through with quiet enjoy-
ment,
njoy-mat t, no intorruptione.
Nobody relating bow she
changed the beds, did two wash-
pings, called the plumber. Nobody
wanting to talk about decoratiaig
the spare room. Nobody tel
me I had to go over the :bills with.
her. No,just me and the paper. I
read front : page, editorials,
columns, sports and entertain-
ment. Normally, 1 never get past
the front page. .
Nobodylaying, . "Dinner's
nearly ready don't open another
beer which would you like cam'
peas or frozen spinach." Ihave
my dinner when 1 jolly well feel
like it. Maybe nine p.m., or ten.
And when I do, .it's a gourmet`
spread, ' Unlike some of those
snivelling wretches who can't
boil a ,spun of water withnitt
spoiling the flavor, I was brought
up in a large family, and was a
pretty good, rough cook when I
married: A far better cook than.
the bride, I might add, sotto voce.
And since then, I've -filed off a
number of the roughedges, and
can turn out a good meal. Chops
and sausage, bacon and eggs are
child's play, along with steak. I
can turn out a creditable turkey,
ham, roast of beef. I can make
stuffing, bake a fish.
So, when I'm alone, I don't go
hungry. Qh, not that I roast .a
beef, or turn out a golden brown
turkey. That's a bit much for one
average appetite.
But I don't settle for the baked
potato, fried pork chop and
canned corn routine, either.

Nor am I one of those fancy -

the essential blanch' of their
• cooking with• *Jot of spices and,
sauce.
I'm more apt to turn out a nice
mixed grill: bacon, a small fresh
• lamb chop, a sausage or two, a bit
of liver, and a. gram or two of kid-
ney, If they're not on hand, I get
the latter two items out of acan of
cat food. It has a distinct, unique
flavor.
When Allis sizzling a la perfec-
tion, as we Say, I carefully put the
meat on a paper towel, and fry
two large slices of golden -brown
bread in the dripping$. I top these
with tomatoes and melting
cheese. By this time my, stomach
can scarcely, stand the aromas
mingling,
Then I put the whole works into
the cat's dish, open . the
regrigerator, ,take out a frozen
chicken ,pie, heat it, and eat it,
garnished with a wig of cab-
bage. The cat' and I are both
happy.
By this time, it's 11:30 p.m., so
I watch a late movie or two, with
no one saying, "Isn't it time for
bed?" I climb into bed at 3:30,
read for an hour, and sleep until 7
a.m.
Every time my wife comes
home and I've been batching it,
she is appalled by my appear-
ance. "Your eyes look like two
burned holes in a blanket." They
do, but I've enjoyed every burn.
Then the inevitable question:
"Did you miss me?" Hah ! Miss
her my foot.; I didn't miss her any
more than I would my teeth, or
my right arm.

the area that has Made Thunder Country a: prlrrie deet#oatlo
tions.. (Canadian.Povernment.0 ficeof Tourism Pring):
IV Lorne McFadgen
Thunder is not what one -would
normally associate with snow
and skiing; "when it comes to
Thunder Bay, the word takes on
an entirely new meaning.
There are five major: ski areas
'within an -average of seven 'miles
from the city, which makes Thun-
der Bay, with an, approximate
population of 115,000, ' unique in
Ontario. Thunder Country is un-
questionably ski country.
I have skied these areas on
numerous occasions, particularly
when rating potential profession-
al ski instructors for the Cana-
dian Ski Instructors' Alliance.
The challenge of such runs as the
Giant Slalom and Jolly Giant at
Loch Lomond and Mount Baldy's
Main Slalom and Hornet runs are
especially enjoyed: by...the :ad-
vanced skieren, A n, r .. y q ;w
You will find that Thunder Bay
folk not only. ski but in such a
winter area, there's broomball,
hockey, curling, skating and
cross-country skiing which inci-
dentally is a booming and rela-
tively inexpensive sport. While
most out -of town visitors are from
Winnipeg and more recently the
Toronto area, they are not all
Canadians. Thunder Bay • has
'acquired a solid following from
south of the border and approxi-
mately 10,000 of our US. neigh-
bors will ski Thunder Bay this
year.
Let's take a little more detailed
look and start right at the edge of
town with Mount McKay. The re-
sort is owned and operated by the
Fort William Indian Band (Ojib-
way Resorts Ltd.) and the recent
development of the . Big Chief
area increased the vertical to a
very respectable 825 feet and
added more challenging terrain
for advanced skiers. Three chair-
ifts offer first class uphill trans-
portation and the large inter-
mediate -novice area near the
base lodge is a favorite area for
night skiing as well.
Mount Norway's trail_ names
have changed but not the well
known Thunder Bowl: Feeling
uite confident, you start down
through a wide glen, then drop
nto a fairly broad expanse of
asy moguls as you head towards
the base lodge. Easier and longer

North of the city you will find
Mount Baldy and the "Shotgun"
run. Don't let the name scare you
as this trail usually becomes -the
favored test for the average skier
before the day ends. If you feel
like a tiger, the Main Slalom- or
the Hornet will get the adrenalin
flowing. A relaxed and scenic
tour of the "Lookout" trail will
give you a panoramic view of
Thunder Bay's Sleeping Giant, 18
miles of shore in Lake Superior.
A large modern day lodge includ-
ing ski shop, cafeteria and
licensed lounge called "The
Boards" caps the Mount Baldy
area.
Candy Mountain, the newest
area in Thunder Bay, although
the farthest from the city, is only
20 miles on good roads. Their
chairlift, stated to be the longest
in Ontario at 4,300 feet rises 800
vertical feet for runs up to two
miles long and range from begin-
ner to expert.
Hanging his hat on Candy
Mountain is the host Canadian
Ski Instructors' Alliance pro and
skier of renown, Carl Wittier. If
you can stick with Carl down the
pitch of the "Cracker Jack", you
don't need any lessons.

Prevent frostbite
The frostbite season will soon
be here and medical authorities,
warning it is a real hazard facing
the winter sports fraternity, have
come up with some advice on
prevention and treatment.
The American Medical As-
sociation defines true frostbite as
the formation of ice crystals
between the cells. Nerves,
muscles and blood vessel tissues
are the most susceptible.
Frostbite can happen before
you know it, and it isn't necessary
for the temperature to be
excessively low. The wind plays
an important role. The chilling
effect of air at 20 degrees moving
at 45 miles an hour is the same as
4 -below -zero air on a still day.
One of the dangers of frostbite,
the AMA says, is that you often
don't feel it. First thing you know
is that someone else notices that
your ear or nose is turning white.
The frozen part becomes hard to
the touch, and loses feeling.
To prevent frostbite, first be
certain that you are properly
dressed for the temperature.
Avoid overexertion and excessive
perspiration. Avoid contact of
bare flesh with cold metal. Don't
drink alcohol or smoke.
In first aid for frostbite, don't
massage or rub the frozen part.
Don't touch it at all.
Begin a rapid rewarming as
soon as possible. A hot bath is
excellent, but avoid scalding.
Hot wet towels will help, changed
frequently and applied gently. If
no fire or hot water is at hand,
place the patient in a sleeping
bag, or cover with coats and
blankets. Hot liquids will help
raise the body temperature.
For any frostbite, even a mild
case, prompt medical attention is
important. The depth and degree
of the frozen tissue cannot be
readily ascertained, and with the
treatment will vary with the
severity of the injury.
Snowmobiling has challenged
skiing as a winter sport in which
the entire family may partici-
pate. Even some ski lodges which
in previous years spurned the
snowmobile are now making, a
pitch to attract devotees of the
sport.
