Cook, James Scott and THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1947 ,AMATEURS ON ICE NOW that skating has became a "spectacle" and Paye lovas shod with 'steel perform elegant miracles on ice for vast, tiered audiences, we rejoice to see the persist- ence of happy amateurishness when the neighborhood pond freezes over. The little girl with wobbly ankles, the dashing young male ]show-off, the sedately wheeling old gentleman, the lyric. couples, the conscientious prect'icers — they are all theire. Seen from the hill above hi the frosty clarity of Winter afteimoon, the little figures weave and whirl, a &ordered pattern of ,bright reds and blues and yellolws. Wordsworth still speaks for village children Meet- ing in the gathering dusk with the joy of 'after-school release: So through the darkness' and the cold we flew, , And not •a voice was idle; with the din Smitten, the precipices rang aloud; The leafless trees and every icy crag Tinkled like iron ... while the stars Eastward were sparkling Clear, and in the west The orange sky of evening died away. A thing done for its own 'pure joy,. unprofessionally; spontaneously, light-heartedly, is not to be undervalued in our competitive society. Spectacle is not synonymous with sport, efficiency with success. •The happy amateur — the homespun ballerina toppling on the ice— is one of the signs of vigor in a slick and streamlined age. 0 © O "WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE ..." ANY YOUNG PEOPLE consider that today's most pensistenti!rrelevancy is the thinly -veiled advice which opens up with "When I was your age ... " and seems as if it will never stop. The scowling expression on the list- ener's face usually refleetls the opii)ion that what happened then is of no signllfiean!ce now, and not even interesting. Theexpansive look of the one who ladles out the advice sn'ow's clearly what he thihnks of the good old days 'and particularly of his stout-heaxtte'd and altogether commend- able -part in it all, comments The Pxiihited Word. Comparisons are odious, and anyone who ,thinks of the enormous ehanges of the lash forty years ' or so know that eonnparilsons between then .and now are alunost use- less, or only approximate at best, whether you're delving into wages, morals, transportation or what -have -you. So, if he accepts the probably laughalble asssumpton that wis- dom always comes with age, the lietener as forced to the conclusion that the 'sally into the past actually stems from a desire to talk about oneself—one of the most -often denied and frequently felt urges of man. This has been going on for centuries, satisfying the talker, nettling .the talkee. People, however, persist in dis- liku'hlg advice unless they are giving it, winch is probably why the young scowl at at, and eventually wind up sayiing, "When I was your age , sr EDITORIAL COMMENT • Thought for Today — A urian gazing on the stars is proverbally at the mercy of the puddles on the road. •• The Progressive Conservatives of Huron riding should take great "Pride" in their by-election candidate.. 0 January probably will be looked back upon as the month of clearance sales and snowdrifts. Did you notice? The days are getting longer and • the nights shorter — but the nights still are not long enough for us when we want to lay abed in the morning. 0 0 The decision of Clinton Town Council to investigate • further the .proposal to set up a Recreation Council, with ths, object of sharing in the expense involved in. the .hiring of 'a Recreation Director, is to be commended. It would appear to be a move in the right direction. © © 0 Calling of a by-election in Huron Provincial Riding , on February 16 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor only four weeks ago yesterday, occasioned some surprise. It was explained, however, by Hon. George H.
