They were presented with gifts and awards by the children, following a brief pro- gram in their honor. (photo by Patrick Raftfs) December is rushing past December's rushing by. I can't catch up or hang onto it. I've had my paintings at the Mall, showing off, the hours have raced by but believe it or not I've enjoyed every day of it, and evenings.' My one beef is: I've met so many people I've known for years and their names would not surface. I was embarrassed and I'm really sally if you noticed. My head is plum full of so much junk I can't remember the GOOD things.- It must be the AGE because my years in Simpsons, and later, Sears, gave me good training in instant recall of names, faces, voices AND telelphone numbers. No trouble. Now I have a bad time remembering ME! When the craze for not shaving took hold, I would give them (mostly the young men) the devil when they gave me a big hug and I didn't recognize them! Now, most of those Midgets and Juniors that we carried all over this end of Ontario are raising their own hockey players - and I think this is wonderful. I like faces. I enjoy how they resemble one parent or the other or grampa or Gram and often they are a one of a kind and that's dif- ferent. But Bless them All! The long and the short and the tall. Now the girls, they are so darned cute when they are small, but as, the girls reach 12 and over they have been getting deep tans and that means early wrinkles. They don't want to hear about it - it won't happen to them - but it does! It scares me. When they do notice, they get some greasy guck which usually causes blemishes. They won't believe me when I say using cold water and a good Aloe cream will do wonders for their skin. I have my Dad to thank for the cold water bit. He would remind me how good cold water was "for drinking and shining faces". He was a tease, anything to make you laugh and the smile - THAT is good for you, too.No matter what would happen, he would make me smile and it sorta stuck ! My how easy it is to recall these things when you reach your dad's age. When I was a kid, the boy in the family was a baby, so I was Dad's right hand man or helper. We had to get to know him again after' his nearly four years away at the big war. They were wonderful days. A farmer friend offered a farmhouse for doing the chores each night, besides a day job at the tile yard. Dad and I did the chores. I was big enough to fork down the hay fromthe loft and there were lots of little jobs to do. We were just one mile from town and the farm kids would cut thru from the other concession and we walked, in the summer, but rides in the winter - one big brother would bring a sleighful of kids and it was fun when we rode to school that way. I enjoyed the farm. That house was a dan- dy. One bedroom down and three or four up. I'll never forget the three of us following Dad upstairs, in and out of all the rooms then down the stairs and around - he was the Pied Piper. I'll bet he played that mouth organ better than any piper and he knew all the best songs. � f the Country n !

Of course the T.V. fouls up this kind of fun now - what a shame! Well, I think the T.V. has helped teach small children, most of them are very sharp. We had to learn the hard way - bilt as I recall I was always in the top four in school, so perhaps the animals, the chickens and the dog were all teaching us something. 'What do you think?
