Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1983-03-02, Page 7Brussels Post Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy When we suffer disappointment, sor- row or fail to achieve a goal we have set for ourselves, we should not let ourselves sink into a pit of despondency or wallow in self-pity. What we must do is pick ourselves up and go on. The supposition that our U.S. friends have no use for Royalty is a big haw-haw. On the recent visit of our Queen and Prince Philip to California some folks there were offering bribes to get "even a peek" at the Queen. Nurnerous ceremonies were held in their honour, V.1.P's and film stars were begging for tickets to various functions. Thousands of people lined the streets to give a royal welcome to the couple'. A San Francisco flag company reported early last week that already they had sold 9,000 Union Jacks, one large one for $1,500. Women were causing milliners problems insisting on elaborate hats and white gloves to meet the Queen (both unnecessary). A group of dissidents were prepared to stage demonstrations while the Royal couple and President and Mrs. Reagan were in San Francisco. They were protestingthe U.S. nuclear arms policy and the pre. nee of British forces in Northern Ireland. All this does not suggest there is no interest or respect for Royalty in the U.S. 1t also generates the • suspicion that many of them secretly envy us our Royal family. ******* Here arc sonic words of wisdom uttered by Cicero (106-43 B.C. ), much of which would be well to heed in these times. "The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled. public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign lands should be reduced Zest the state become bankrupt. The people should work and not depend on government for subsistence. ****** The former provincial secretary of Wo- men's Institute said recently "If they (institute members) don't change with the times, then we will all die off and so will the institute." She also told at a conference that the institute isn't gaining young members because its activities aren't relevant in these times of financial and social stress. The Brussels Majestic W.I. faces these problems. They need new young members to survive in the future. They must also recognize the changing needs of the 1980s. There will be a warm welcome at the Majestic Institute for young rural women and a sincere effort to respond to the needs of modern farm women. Come join the Majestic W.I. now. ******** What a pleasure it was to watch on T.V. Saturday night, part 1 of the musical drama "Fiddler on the Roof." Produced and directed by Norman Jewison it was appreci- ated to have such a fine movie for entertainment instead of the nonsensical stuff we are too often offered on the T.V. screen. The conclusion was Monday night. This probably caused a problem for some viewers \(or the final performance of the popular M:(1.S.H. series was also aired at that time. \ It is common these days to see what appeared to be happy marriages break up. Is it because young people mistake infatuation, or mere sexual attraction, for love? Is it because they are all too eager to get away from parental influence and see marriage as an escape from it? Whatever the cause to see it happen saddens one. ******* The winning streak of the Toronto Maple Leafs came to an end on Saturday night. After their sixth straight victory Friday night, with the brilliant performance of Mike Palmater in the Leaf net; they lost their Saturday night game. Come on Leafs this is not the time to go into a slump. ******** There is a bad habit of the males of the human race that they should give some attention to. A lady finds it a necessity to go to the bathroom in the night. Half -asleep she gropes her way, in the dark, not wanting to disturb other sleepers. She gets a nasty cold shock when she finds herself sinking down, sitting on the cold hard rim of the facility instead of the seat that some thoughtless orale had neglected to replace to where it belonged. Think of a cute little girl rushing into the bathroom in urgency and finds her knees scrunched up under her chin and her warns little bottom in cold water. Have a heart guys., Put that seat down where it should be. Walton 4-H'ers name club Correspondent MRS. ALLAN MCCALL 887-6677 .
