It's Official Now
The sign now reads "Zurich Memorial Community Centre"
and bears official proof to the public that the building once
maintained and operated jointly by Hay Township and the
village of Zurich is now Zurich's own. An enthusiastic rec-
reation committee is hard at work in an attempt to ensure
that the building is used to capacity by village and area
residents.

SUGAR
AND SPICE
by. Bill Smiley
THE .BALTIMORE ORIOLE
In last week's column, I men-
tioned that son Hugh had
failed to keep a Saturday ren-
dezvous with Kim and me. He
was supposed to meet us and
come home for a week -end of
skiing. When he didn't show
up, we didn't worry, thinking
he'd become i n v o l v e d else-
where. He was.
Tuesday night following, the
senior tutor of his college
phoned, long distance. Was
Hugh at home, ill? Nobody in
his residence had seen him
since Friday night. He'd missed
a test in psychology.
How would you go about tell-
ing your wife that her first-
born is missing? It would have
been easier to inform her that
I had cancer and three months
to live.
There's nothing more fun, on
a night in mid -winter, than sit-
ting around with your wife won-
dering whether your son has
eloped, has been kidnapped, has
become a junkie, is on a drunk,
or is lying dead in a ditch.
Thus speculating, we took
turns. She'd be white with ap-
prehension. I'd be red with
rage. Then we'd turn red and
white, simultaneously, she with
anger, I with fear.
And while we were thus en-
gaged, do you know where he
was? Wining and dining, play-
ing a Steinway grand piano, in
a swank apartment on Park
Avenue, New York City.
and ask if Hugh were there.
So she asked gaily, "How is the
boy?" (They'd had a baby boy
a few months previously.)
Cousin Pat retorted, "Yours
or mine?" And the Baltimore
Oriole, as he is now known in
the family, was in the net.
Almost.
He came on the line, "Hi,
Mom. How are you?" Gay as
an oriole. Innocent as a novice
nun. When his mother was
able to talk, she told him, for
20 minutes, how she was, and
what he was. Finally, Kim and
I wrested the telephone from
her and I spent 45 seconds tell-
ing him to be home by the
week -end.
He was. Large as life, cheer-
ful as a cherub. During the
week -end, when he wasn't sleep-
ing, eating or skiing, he regaled
us with his tale.
He'd caught the urge to trav-
el late Friday night. Struck
off at 3 a.m., in ski jacket and
jeans. ,Hitch -hiked, Caught
rides with university students,
Negro ladies, hillbillies.
Arrived New York with 20
cents. Went to coffee house to
keep warm. Ordered coffee.
Waiter said, "Sixty-five cents".
Hugh said, "I've only got 20".
Waiter took it. Read French
novel and talked to junkies,
students and assorted charac-
ters all night.
Sold pint of blood in Times
Square for $5. Ate. Later
phoned gentleman musician
he'd met in his summer job on
cruise boat, who had foolishly
said, "Any time you're in New
York, look me up." This chap
and his wife met the ski -jacket-
ed bum in jeans with warmth,
fed him, enjoyed a musical eve-
ning together, gave him sleep -
(Kim was in on it too, busting
with excitement), into one of
the finest frenzies of rage and
relief we've ever enjoyed.
Suddenly, I had one of those
rare flashes of insight which
make people who don't know
me think I'm a genius. "Balti-
more." I cried. "Ah -ha! Balti-
more!"
I reminded the Old Girl that
she has a cousin studying at
Johns Hopkins University, Bal -
timer. She said I was crazy,
he wouldn't dare go there, and
if he had Cousin Pat would
have phoned.
I insisted. She called, got
Cousin Pat and his wife in jig -
Next night, I phoned his
room -mate. Yep, Mr. Smiley,
he'd had a card from Hugh.
From Greenwich Village. Hav-
ing a ball. New stop, Balti-
more.
This threw the whole family

He's back at school, but
