Some people believe that penmanship holds clues to a person's character. I, however, do not, happen to be among those who consider handwriting this position in a column a few years ago and received A huge pile of .letters from furious handwriting "experts." So — please folks, don't write to me again with your half-baked - arguments. I haven't changed my mind. Jeanette looks troubled, probably because she didn't know what the photographer was. up to. Normally this six -months -old baby is happy and good-natured, full of smiles and endearing little chuckles. Jeanette's background is French and Canadian Indian: She has brown ,eyes, fair skin and scant, slightly curly dack hair. She is in excellent" health and alert, viry much aware of her surroundings. She watches people with -interest, thoroughly enjoys attention and she likes to be able to touch things and explore tlliern with her fingers. This baby needs loving parents who will appreciate her heritage.

It paralyzed his right side Talk about wild Someone handed me tti poem. I don't know who wrote it but I think it's worth passing on to your readers. YOUR NAME' You got it from your father 4 It was all he had to give So it's yours to use and cherish For as long as you may live„ If you lose the watch he gave you, It can always be replaced But a black mark on your name, weekends Having one 18 -year-old daughter arotd the place is enough 'to turn you white be- fore your time, as I can verify. For most of last week, we had three and it's quite an experi- ence. Can never be erased. It was clean the. day you -took it And a worthy name to beat When he got it from his father., There was no dishOnor there. So make sure you guard it wisely, After allls said and done You'll be glad the name is When'you give it to your son.

Another was that they were neat and tidy and made their bed and didn't, spill things and didn't slouch around in ripped,' faded jeans and my oldest shirt. Early this spring, one of our history teachers organized a trip for his students, during the vacation, 'to Washington D.C., because they were study- ing American history. It was a success. They saw. numerous historic sites and visited a high school in that_city. He arranged a program that would exhaust an elephant; historical sites, band concert, dance, boat trip, canoe ?ides. ' And billets. There was no problem there, Our own kids were practically fighting over the visitors. Onet girl, who There they were warmly re- ceived. As kids will, they res- ponded with, "Why don't you come to Canada_ and visit us some time?" You know how this happens.- You're Away from home at a wedding or something„ meet someone you like and, vowing that you must see more of each other, throw out one of these meaningless Then one day a strange car, full of strange people,•pulls up at your • house.

Yep, it's Elsie and Herb, the couple you met at the wedding, except that you can't remem- ber their names. And they were just coming this way on a trip, and thought they'd drop in. and say hello, and they've been looking all over for a motel:arid everything's it'll up. Well, that's what happened. Our history teacher got a letter saying that 85 students and four teachers from the Wash- ington ,school were arriving, as invited. All :they needed was billets and a schedule of sight-, seeing comes frpm a family of eight, snatched four of 'them. Kini. arrived a t our place with the two prettiest chicks from that entire high school:4. Sheila and Caroline. It was 11 p.m. they'd been on the road since five a.m., and were not only tottering, but a little shy. But we got along fine, and shooed them off .to bed. The next three days and . nights were enough to kill any • - body• over 20. The first day, they visited,, our school and completely disrupted the schedule, which everyone en- joyed thoroughly. By dinner- time, our two guests had lost all shyness and were giggling and talking frantically , about what_.they were _going to wear for .five different events next day. Suggested curfew was 11 p.m. They went out with Kim and all three got in at three. Remember, these were city • kids .They were used to con- crete and asphalt and apart- ments.
