1 wish that I were young again.
with all my songs unsung again,
" and - all my dreams far-flung
again—I wonder what-I'd,do?
Nick Kenny--wherey,,er he may
be, writes a little poem that just
has to set you thinking. 1'1'here are
many things I would do again—if
given the choice—for one thing I
Would want to marry and`have my
children while 1 was still young
enough to understand them and
grow up with•them—and believe it
or not it, with pride • the'
.grandchildren brag 'about their
'kooky'' grandmother.
Speaking of songs unsung—that
was'actually a. drawback as I was
too shyand inexperienced to go
ahead with making my dreams
come true—anyhow, the dreams
of that time were not' really't
•formulated.
So being young again—without
'some of the things I know now—
, could be just _as frustrating
again—wishing and getting
nowhere.
I wish that.' could see again the
world all wide and free again—
and things that used- to be again
when life and love were new.
When 1 was young the world was
wide and free and waiting for me
to' make a million discoveries-
discoveries you didnt read' about
in books. I was a dreamer, all
right, Blit took notice ,of things
around me, hada real healthy
curiosity and had to know. 'why'
and what made things go—and
where.
Through the woods I loved to
hike olid linger'where the world
was like—a story -book.
A few stones placed ina brook
could make a miniature Niagara
Falls which I had 'only read about
at that ^ time. I could create
mountains and valleys. divert
-shams • to Make tieautifia
miniature rivers and there'was no
end'of the/flings YOU could do on a
lazy afternoon all byyourself.
Thewarm sun and the hum• of
the bees brought peace that you
never again find unless you have
brains eiiougli' fo take- offand find
such a spot again. far away from
the cares and worries' of today.
beside a brook (where you now
have to kick at the tin cans and
garbage and fight the flies to just
have that few minutes to
yourself).
These spots beside the bahhling
brook are•• becoming fewer each
year and .the hypertension grows
greater each year and you are
amef g the many who die young—
'but don't want to'.
1 wish that I could know again
the paths of long ago again. ,with
younglove all aglow again -7,1
wonder what I'd do? '
Well. I know now that I'd have a ,
heck 'of a lot more fun than I did .
then, and young love is a precious
thing, that the kids of today are
missing.
'Young' love doesn't go too
far—It isn't allowed to build up at
the first:secret meeting, Girls at
that time, knew very little about
sex. The "Pill was unknown
those days—where teenagers-
so man
regularly—and nonchalantly. It's
'a very different word now—
love-1 don't think I would. want
that kind of love since it is too.
crude -there are no tender
memori s these days—nothing to
look ban on.
Well, ' 'how did L get on that
subject—better drop it . fast
before I say too much! .
Here's' another little dig. 1
•
heard a funny thing at 'a meeting
recently -somebody praising a
a friend'
• 'Guess that's what life -is all
about.
This is the season,for• sleet and
freezing- rain and we have had a
good. sample -of it to date. It
appears to me that the children
-are now being taught or
.encouraged to step out boldly
when they, want '-to cross the'
street, because the car , driver
'wouldn't dare hit them and they
get a great thrill—putof the
contortions of the car 'and its
driver trying to avoid them.
In my -way of thinking this is not
the rightoattitude.for these little
ones to have. They just stare you
in the eye and_ step right ouf—and
with the icy conditions you are
really in trouble -but .not that
brat—he- just dares you to ,hit
him—and they glare at you when
you almost do it.
A driver must a have - his car
under control at --all times: . I
understand, but I- also feel if the
parents have no control sayer their
children, the teaehers should try
to make, these dare devils
,understa,nd that a car cannot
always stop without sliding into
hem and if they are ever hit .bV a
car they' will pay for it the rest of
their lives -if they li •e. ' .
'.The (ART day .,1 bald very
easily• have hit , a couple of
young t"ers who saw me making a
turn .4rnd stepped out quickly to
force rite to stop. Luckily I hit a
hare patch of pav'emerit in time
'and they ambled, on their way.
untouched—but 1 'was really''
shaken—and when I spoketo them
later I felt like knocking their,
heads- together. This is not the a
first time for me that kids have
deliberately walked out in front of

Knowing their ways lam always
on the alert, but "some day they

How many of vouread the letter
in last week's paper by one of the
Advisory Committee for a larger
workshop for retarded adults''
It is hard to understand why one
,says' at.onetime that larger

later says they are quite
adequate. This has been the way

contradicted themselves ' and

Mr. Wells said he expects that a
significant g cant number of
municipalities , will enjoy a
decrease in their education',m111
rates and that many others will,
have fhe same mill rate as in
I971. ' He said that the decreases,
will result from a- combination of
increased Provincial grant

by the Department in November.
At that time. the ceilifri's were 4
