Two of the big •fellows• moved over, some of . them looked at me but the rest just went, on ` preening and snoozing. !' Guess they, are getting to know me! , The harbour, • on this. my "writing day", is 'cold and sad looking. Sad, because most of the pleasure boats are gone and everything looks dosed up. Across the way IPS see the park benches lined up one .behind the other still looking very colorful. Donald Bert's three tugs are in the safety °of the small harbour — and thepoor old Maunaloa is struggling to get turned around in the big basin. I suppose it is headed for a load of rock salt. This Cargo Laker is very quietly —'and slowly sliding her butt end ( or is it Aft). around, with her nose up against the pilings by -the Elevator. r guess Donald Bert doesn't have to turn ALL the big ships — just the larger ones? I see the Michipocten tied up beside an old barge, still has it's steam up so it hasn't been there too long. Must be settling down for a long winter's nap. - Well, the Maunaloa is finally straightened away and gliding toward me. • These big fellows surely give me an eerie feeling as I see them creeping towards me. ' I ' think �.. that this is a . hangover from a time when years ago on the Detroit River, one of them slipped up behind'us in our small'.: craft and it reallystartled me.-`�` The children's prn4ams on T.V. often -show how I felt with this -huge monster suddenly • • r• with M�rtbu behind and above me •-- and not dile to get out of its way fast enough. Well!— fray mistake, -the ,. Maunaloa is tied up to the other side now. !suppose to unload grain. I hope they dont bring those doggone grain bugs with this cargo, we have enough to contend with now. • - But this is the way the vermin • and' pests are- spread around the country, Our wonderful transportation system can't help but do this — and So we "send our wheat bugs to China and other countries and thby send' Us some of their bugs in exchange. FINE THING! The Santa Parade is coming along fine. We are getting a good' response from most of last years entries and happy to have many new ones come aboard. , You will notice the prizes are well worth competing for, if you need an incentive to het people, working at their entry. We expecta lot of small entries most of them not, competing but advertising for some". of our business men who haven't the time for a big -float. I think this is GREAT as these individual entries are always colorful and entertaining — so we can use lots of them. You can think of hundreds of ideas for the smaller entries — even mount them above a motorcycle or Bug if it isn't a two -footer. — Or a lawn mower! What are you going to do? What do you busy business folk wanted to doabout holding' the crowd AFTER the parade? We are here to help — so speak up.

The Maunaloa is sitting quietly on flat water but the big one ' corning _ in is noticeably b01ng` roughed up. The tug is bouncing up and down just inside the. breakwall (I'm , glad I'm not on it).. Well the- Debbie Lyn is back and the Ian Mac is out and running. Looks as tho' the Debbie just wanted to say "Hello" and get the water in the harbour roughed up for the big Roy A. Jodrey. Don't want too much • of a shock after a rough trip., 'The gulls are back following the ship. The , "Jodrey" is surely a frequent visitor and it is a treat to watch it being turned about. I don't know why it is so close to this side — the tugs have suddenly, come tearing back — perhaps he was getting too close for comfort! Well -- who needs help with their float?

Rehearsals are well under way for this comedy by Shaw. - Set .in the days of the first World War, this one act comedy pokes fun at the military just as "Trial" pokes furs at the judiciary. If you doubt that Shaw could write a comedy on war or anything pertaining to it, you had better think again. Augustus is - a recruiting officer in some obscure English town, who, for some equally obscure reason, holds some secret plans. All this, entrusted to a man, who when captured, ,by, the Germans, was returned 'to his own side • as it was felt (by the Germans) that art exhibit worth se splattering, contemporary work of Karel Appel of today. Three paintings by Vincent Van Gogh in the late 1800's show the various moods which can be transferred onto canvass by'a sensitive artist, And Points in an Arc, painted in 1927 �by Wassily Kandinsky is a brilliant example of modern art with a message.
