SUGAR 'NSPJCEBIllSMILEY . _ Had a birthday recently. Somepeople, especially women, are rather daunted by certain birthdays. For ca young, attractive woman,- having her thirtieth birthday is almost as horrible a prospect as having all her teeth out. , After a couple of years in the early thirties, she realizes that she is really just coming into her best period, that of a. mature. woman, still mighty at- tractive, and with a new emotional• maturity she •didn't have in the Gay Twenties. She's in the Flirty Thirties; and enjoying it thoroughly. But with the fortieth milestone looming, panic sets• in anew. She suddenly is con- vinced that anyone in the for- ties is over the hump, headed into a wizened old• age. . Strangely enough, after , a couple of years in her earlw for- ties, she admits to herself and anyone else who Fill listen, that . she's in the prime of life. She can still draw a whistle .when the light is., right,.get her bum pinched if the party is ° rowdy'enough. She's probably a gra.ndmot•her, but she's . a "young"- gramma. With a good dentist and contact lenses, she • can disguise the fact 'that her teeth are .:still there only through sher will power; and that she's blind,,as the prover- bial bat. u Then that griM :reaper, the gaunt visage of Fifty,, comes over, the horizon like a •wolf NESE ari1/21E-v (Aft 524-2242 • Try our Delicious Prepared Meals • We have excellent Dining Facilities • We can also prepare Your meals for convenient Take-out OPEN Mon,- Thurs. 1 0 to 12 Fri. - Sat. 10 to 1 Sundayl 1 to 10 t• .'Goderich re.—L ' Ielwitui■ , iww ""wraMellkINIftm.'.c" PM•1wr R.w sweeping down on a lamb. This time, there is 'no panic: Just sheer despair. She knows, with a little mathematics, .that anyone in;lhe fifties is away past Middle Age, and has one foot in the grave and the other on a piece of dog defecation. She is OLD, and there's no hiding' the fact• - Yet five • yearn later, in her mid Fifties, die's striding about a golf course, or screaming "Sweep'!” at the curling club,. or lying by a...pool. in Florida, holding in her gut and convin- ced she's in the' Golden Age. Of course, Sixty is IT., The old man with- the scythe, is lurking everywhere: The,re's no longer any way of disguising the wrinkles - And the wattles. At 62, •she gets a good tan,' hides the eyes with shades, and maybe even has the jowls tucked up 'beneath the ears: And a good •girdle ,does won- ders. . At 65, she's collecting the old age pension, her late husband's pension, living in a house with the m`irtgage paid; and jaun- ting off to • Eur- ope or California, where ,,she picks up her second 'husband, a well, -off iwidoWer. She's never had 4t' so ,good. ' • At 86, widowed again, she's a swinger in Sunset Haven, playing bingo and the piano, and giving the eye to every fresh octogenarian who enters the place. And that's how women are daunted by birthdays. 'Per- sonally, I am never daunted. I have a -lot of dents, but not..a single daunt. • ,Things have changed a lot around here. My birthday used to be a .'small something. Carefu1Iv coached by their mother, 1.he kids used to come up with '.gifts which I — aw•, shucks, you shouldn't have done it — accepted 'gratefully andgracefully. Nothing great. Maybe a fishing -rod. Or some golf balls. And:the („old lady would hake a cake — a ready - mix.. When ' t hey were older, away from home, they'd call (collect on the occasion, wish me Happy Birthday, and siagps't that they could uSe a little4inanc•ial aid. Now, I 'call them .up, and af- ter the usual exchange of amenities, ask coyly, "Know what day this is''" ,"Yeah. Sunday. Why?" I try again, "No. I mean what day of the month?" "Not really: watt'1! .1 check the calendar." N I try again. "No. i mean what day Of what month of what year? How old are you? How do you know how old you are? What day reminds you?" "Oh, golly. Dad Why didn't you tell me it was your both day? 1 would have sent a card. rd. Or something." No,' I am not daunted Hut I never, ever. forgot m• 'father's 'birthday, Let's see. I can remember it. it was April 3rrt, Or was it November 3rd? Anyway. I always• sent him a card, even if I didn; t rememher until a month after the o(- casion. Anyway. I got one fall on my hirthdav this year It was from mv pig brother. After grumpily asking me what I was doing in hed at noon on my hirthdav,' he revealed the real purpose rif hip call.
