RaUnd and Aboui
With .Martha.
Events of interest to all have
been many and varied this last -
two months. This year, — I have
some indication already, will be
a busy and interesting one.
If you are marking your
calendar as often as I suggest;
then, it is beginning to look like"
a crazy -quilt of scribbles and at
the end of the year you will take
another look thro' it. before
throwing it out. It can be .a
i record, or, , ae,, diary of your
activities and Interests which will ,
make a 'surl'irising story of yours
and your families' lives.
"Not, many keep a "diary"
now-a-days...and the large sized
•calendar . is even better, since it
doesn't get cluttered up with
sentimental stuff. Keeping a
diary — or a record of some kind
is good training for the young
folk as it teaches them to keep
track of things they should do
and places they should go — and
helps them to be punctual and at
the .right place at the right time.
Encourage your youngsters to
do this, it will help them
organize their days and it is great
training for the time when
routine and timetables are a
necessary part of their daily
lives.
Well! how did I.get on THAT
subject? — Oh, I know -- my
calendar is spread out beside me
and it sure is a crazy looking
fnass of scribbled notes.
But .that's ME, ° a
—conglomeration .af bits. and
•pieces; °never Iu31 "moment:,
always -doing Something
interesting. I can turn- my hand
to dozens of activities - and I've
,; tried them all. One phrase I have
never been able to use, is - "I'm
. bored, stiff!. I. sure feel _.smxy:..,:far.
these people who •"don't know
what to do with themselves." It
surely must be dull. "Life gets
tedious (or "teejus") — don't
it.".

group, with a big grin on his
face, and sawing'away at a violin
that :lay, against his tummy. At
that time, I don't think he `could
HOLD it up under his chin as he
Was so huge. I don't know if I
had ever seen a bigger than, and
. that violin ,sure looked mighty
.small. •
Isn't it funny the sillythings
yoe remember about things you.,
do. All I can.' recall about that
"DO" ' and it was about 20
year;$. -ago, I'm sure; Is that we
were dancing ' AROUND the
• orchestra, and Bossy just SAT
there, didn't change position or
expression and just pushed that
bow back and forth against the
violin. I think in those days too,
he was too shy to YA-A-HOO as
he does so often, now.
There- was also a weII known
character on radio, those days,
that kept your toes tapping with
songs like "The Squaws. Along
the Yukon are Good ,Enough for
Me!" and "I Traced Her Little
Footsteps in the 'Snow" and
Other dandies. "Cactus, Mac" he
was known as!
Another one I always got a
kick out of — Was the Irishman
McKinnon, I think' was the
name. Anyway he had no teeth,
sure could put over an Irish
song, like "Who Put the Overalls
in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder!" He
could step dance too. Come to
think of it - I think he STILL
hasn't his teeth'-- and I wish °he
.would .get:,.them!...Teeth o no,.he..
was very tpopulaimiciTtLlikezto
-bear -him -again, a' tittle oftener,
as we hear very few funny songs
now and 'I think it would be a
nice change -of -pace.
Change of pace— a lot of you
will.-.., be...q. interested_ in... . the,
wonderful performance of the
music of the Sisters. of St.
Joseph Choir. The Festival J-Iall
Sin Stratford on Sunday, March
15 will see this group perform
and,' it y will cert inLy. be_a
wonderful change of pace. It
starts at 3 o'clock and °you can

partial eclipse of the sun.starting

_Ptd_ you hear big RossyManir
read that poem recently oft their
T.V. program? He seems to find
some dandies, but that is one of
my favorite ones and I'd like a
copyof it sometime.
I remember the first time I
saw big Mossy,•. I just couldn't
stop' giggling every time I
recalled him sitting in the midst
of that lively C.K.N.X.• radio

successful as these ladies really
work hard for their dinners, teas

your chance to see the latest

Also the same weekend sees
the Pegasus Players of Clinton
presenting "The Happiest - Days
of Your .Life" Mpresented at 'the
Base Th`ea'tre C.F.B. Clinton
Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Itis -unfortunate that the play
dates fall on the same weekend
but, there were a great set of
"unfortunate" happenings • to
bring this ..about. But you can
enjoy seeing the play perhaps on
ASunday ' which gives you
something different to do -- a
change of pace! Our Brian
Markson of the Coach House is
the director and I hear the play
is a RIOT! -
So there; with all the changes
of the paces •:I'fh sure we are
going to get,you into high gear
for Spring — and that is not too
far away. Withour snow slowly
disappearing we should have
little or no trouble with floods
in .this area. Let's' hope so,
anyway. •
