Sex becomes boring
Quote from a great Chinese writer: "The
gem cannot be polished without friction, nor
man perfected without trials."
This column is a difficult one to write, For
the past two weeks there have been visitors in
this home with little time for thought,
reading, research, or consideration of what
would go into it. It will be scrambled, Of sheer
necessity it will contain happenings of those
two weeks. It can only be asked thatou will
forgive the personal nature of some of what is
written.
Sex, publicly displayed in 'so many
circumstances, and in so many ways, is so
common it has become boring, even nau-
seous, to many people. What once was never
discussed, seldom written about, never
pictured on paper or screen, is now fodder for
public discussion and display. Many books
give vivid descriptions of what used to be a
private expression of love, or lurid details of
acts of depravity. Sex is a vital fact of life. It is
no wonder that, with all the publicity about it,
young people, even those of the impression-
able years of fourteen and fifteen, or
younger, consider it permissible.
About the two sneakiest words in our
language today is "plus tax." We take (wig.
reluctance) the increased cost of things but
when plus tax is added there is a definite
feeling of resentment. Governments will
pilfer our pockets!
This home underwent a transformation the
past two weeks. There was no longer just my
dog and I. This place came alive with two
granddaughters, and two young great-
grandchildren to chase away the quiet and
normal routine. The dog was ecstatic,
frolicking, free of leash, at the heels of the
visitors, My five-year-old blond pixie great-
granddaughter shattered the illusion that this
home had been thoroughly swept and
polished before their arrival. She came
dancing into the kitchen where her mother
and,I were enjoying our morning coffee,
greeted me with a hug and a kiss, then with a
tilt of her head and a sly smile said "You have
a spiderweb in your house." That, after
wearing glasses, every corner in the house
had been carefully examined and swept to be
sure there were no webs, It is suspected a
concealed spider watches the demolishment
of it with a smirking sneer and sets to work on
another as soon as I am out of sight.
The beaches of Lake Huron attract
members of this family like a magnet, When
they Were mere infants they spent some time
with us there each summer and it is still the
first place they want to go when here in the
summer. So, it was off to some beach or
another every favorable day, sometimes with
grandma along. Other times rest and quiet,
or a chance to do something easier
accomplished with others away, was needed.
The two-year-old great-grandson is a
sturdy, active little fellow with a will of his
own. One minute he would be close by but
when you turned around he was gone, across
the mad, half -a -block away.
Last week my eldest grandson and his wife
arrived to spend a couple of days with me. My
younger granddaughter had to leave in the
middle of the first week and her sister and her
children left last Friday with her brother for
Ottawa, Having some members of my family
here made it a happy time for me.
Mothers, have you tried this on your
teenaged daughter? Tell her, when she is
about to drop a load of dresses, shorts, tops,
etc. into the laundry basket "Those are wash
and wear things, That means the one who
wears them washes them."
