"What Am I?"
"Now, with a house to look
after. an active boy to train,
laundry and the garden to take
care of, I am still supposed to
consider all I do as a privilege.
Never a word of appreciation do
I hear; no comment on an un-
usually fine dinner, nor on any
son's good manners,. which he
does NOT inherit from his father.
Even the refrigerator and vacuum
cleaner get out of order if they
aren't serviced—but I receive less
attention than either.
"We hardworking wives don't
ask to be spoiled, though a little
of that wouldn't ruin us. All we
want is to be treated like a
human being. If my husband
gave me the affection and atten-
tion he gives the family dog,
would I be grateful !
"Fathers have a duty. too, to
set an example in courtesy and
thoughtfulness, so that their sons
will learn by imitation what a
good wife deserves. My father-in-
law took his wife as much for
granted as my husband takes me:
yet the latter is more polite to a
neighbor.
"You can be assured ] am
bringing up my boy differently.
When the little girl next door
runs in, my six-year-old son,
rises and welcomes her properly
—and does she love it ! He has
better manners than all his young
friends, but they dare not laugh
at him—and they all like him.
He helps me about the house, and
is learning to take care of his
own room: I've even got him in-
terested in cooking. The girl that
gets hien will never have to go
through what I have !"

I don't _intend to- dq, .more than
mention in passing' the outstalad--
ing event in last week's news.
That is the death of Stalin. Abler
pens than mine have, and will
continue to deal, with that
world-shaking event. To me, of
the most extraordinary signifi-
cance, is the fact that twice In
our generation a man has risen
from the ranks and become suf-
ficently powerful to upset the
balance, not only of his own
country, but of practically the
whole world. With that I leave
the subject.
Turning now to ordinary,
everyday affairs—have you ever
realized how many odd acci-
dents occur that could not pos-
sibly 'be foreseen?' The other
day- I noticed an :account in the,
daily press of a child being hurt
by the explosion of an egg! It
was in the process of being boil-
ed; the saucepan boiled dry; the
egg exploded and fragments of
shell few in the face of a little
girl who was standing near the
stove.
That sante night I was nearly
brained by a dead hen! It hap-
pened this way. Two days prev-
iously Partner had killed a hen
and hung it in the back porch.
That was during our last zero
spell. The bird froze solid. The
back porch is where I also feed
the dogs. That night I went out
with the dogs' supper as usual
—a dish in each hand. I stopped
to put them on the floor—at a
strategic distance from each
other. As I straightened up again
.. wham! ... It was the hard -
frozen head and sharp beak of
our dead hen. It almost knocked
ane out—but not quite. I still
had enough strength to sit down
on a chair and laugh and laugh,
even though I was quite alone.
It struck me as being too ridicul-
ous—to be hit on the head by a
dead hen! And then I put my
hand to my head, which was by
this time aching considerably. I
felt a steadily rising lump which
finely reached the size of a wal-
nut, although the skin was not
broken. My head ached for the
rest of the evening—and it is
still sore to touch even after
six days. Today we ate the hen.
"He who laughs last laughs loud-
est."
T hadn't thought of it until
this minute but maybe that
bump on the head affected my
grey matter. Anyway I was try-
ing to start the car next morn-
ing, but it failed to oblige—ad
I left it. After dinner I went
out to try it again. This time it
was hopeless . . I hacl left the
ignition on! The battery was as
dead as the hen that brained

me, The next step was to send
for a man to come up for the
battery — for a slow charge —
rannch easier on the battery This
• was slow all right—so many bat-
teries waiting to be charged that
I -had to wait five days. And
• then Bob came home from. the
north—and' he tool; over from
there.
'Yes, Bob has come back again
to the banana belt. He has had
all the cold weather he wants
for awhile. The week before. he
left Matheson it was fifty below.
This has been somewhat of a
record winter up north for snow
and cold—and a record mild win-
ter for us. One day, while he was
working outside, Bob had an
orange freeze solid in the back
po:ket of his pants. He also men-
tonod one house, unoccupied,
that had • twenty inches of snow
on top of the roof. As for driv-
ing, he hadn't driven his car ten
miles in the two months he was
up there. He made up for it on
the way home. He left Matheson
at '4 pan. Friday and arrived
horse 3.30 a.ni. Saturday—about
500' miles, When he came to bare
gr°wnsn .'south :of- Barrie I guess
it looked pretty good to him. So
now Bob is at home again night
and morning but working at his
old construction job down at
Oakville during the day.
Isn't it nice to have , the days
getting longer—actually there
seem to be more hours in a day
when we get more sunlight. And
there can't be too many hours as
far as I am concerned. On the
wall of my den Ihave a decorat-
ed card pinned tip—an inspira-
tion to me but a worry to Part-
ner. It features an hour -glass,
and the inscription reads thus,
"Lost Yesterday. Somewhere be-
tween sunrise and sunset, two
golden hours, each set with 60
daimond minutes. No reward is
offered for they are gone fore -
ever."
What exactly is• "lost time"?
Actually, we none of us lose
time; we all, of us have 24 hours
to spend. But I suppose time is
lost when we do nothing that is
of benefit to ourselves or other
folk. Some people think reading
is wasting time. I don't. Right
now Partner is reading "The In-
credibie Canadian" and I am
halfway through "A Sense of
Urgency," I think we shall both
find our time has been well
spent
