The Huron Expositor, 1983-01-26, Page 7"TME "HURON EXPOSITOR, JANUARY 28, 1983 -- A7 Short Shots • We can repay financial loans But we are forever in debt. To those who show us kindness. Do not throw out those old accumulated newspapers, cardboard, glass or tin cans. Save them for the next Waste Reduction Drive of Brussels Mennonite Fellowship to be held from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 25. Proceeds will go to World Wide Relief. For more information latter watch coming events in this paper. What has happened to our notorious Canadian winter? Where are the blustery storms that pile up six foot snowdrifts blocking highways, roads and streets, bringing out snowplows, snowblowers and shovels? Councils, those responsible for keeping these clear for traffic, will be pleased that this responsibility will not be such a drain on funds this winter. ft has been a relief not to have to clean mountains of snow off, and around the car. Just turn or, the heater and scraee off the frost: It is true that we have had bitter cold and chilling winds but along with these we have enjoyed brilliant sunshine, little snow and a brisk atmosphere that should fill us with vim and vigour. Alas,.this encourages some senior citizens to turn up,the thermostat and shelter in the cozy warmth of our homes. The frosty air does not intimidate the youngsters. They have been out in force on the hills with toboggans etc. or simply swimming in the snow downhill on their tummy. Oh to be young again and really appreciate our Canadian winter. YOU may recall that in a pre -Christmas column this verse was used. Never a Christmasorning, ' Never the old year e/ids, But someone thinks((c.ffsomeone. Old days, old times, old friends. It was seen somewhere but,the writer was unknown. Now I know how it came to be written and who composed those nostalgic lines that appealed to me. Many of you may know by Evelyn°Kennedy Arthur Carr as the former publisher of The program,Palmerston Observer who now gives us the CKCUv"Report from the ountry" on In a letter I received from him last week he told me he had seen that verse in my column. He reminded me of how, in the early thirties, paper companies sent sample books of blank Christmas cards to the weekly press to,selI to , our customers, suggesting greetings forus.to-' print on the cards of their choice. Here, in Mr. Carr's own words, is the explanation of the "how and the who" of that verse. An elderly man, Mr. R.W, Jennings, whose older brother sold Timothy Eaton his first store in Toronto, operated Palmerston's really classy general store. Mr. Jennings was a valued customer of ours, for without him even thea then precarious existence of "The Observer" would have been in dire jeopardy. He usually bought 100 or more of the most expensive Christmas cards. This particular Christmas he could not find suggested gre.,e ieg,ro suit his fancy, and "commanded" me to write a truly original greeting for him, one that had never been used before. Asking for a few days to consider this several Were composed, and he selected "Never a Christmas morning, Never an old year ends, But -someone thinks of someone, Old days, old times, old friends." Since that Christmas this verse, original with me, has surfaced every Christmas." Thanks Arthur. That verse has become a favourite Christmas greeting for me. Not everyone is happy with the lack of the usual deep snow. Winter resorts are hard pressed. Their coffers are empty. The man, who normally would be clearing highways, roads, streets and walks of snow, are idle. In these times of financial strain they are without the income they should be earning. Skiers who looked forward to enjoying their favourite sport during Christmas holidays are disappointed. When you read this we could be paralysed by storms. How vet. the man who rejected the prediction of he weather- wise ones that this winter would the worst in years maybe right and we will g on having an unusual winter.
