Just some random, thoughts this:
week. I'm too; depressedto write
IL regular column. It's been snow-
ing. for 22 days, the temperature
• ,is 12 below, and some sadist has
sent me a copy of the . Miami
Herald. The Old Lady is down
with. the flu and as genial as a
cobra. My old ' aching back is
back, and aching. So 'here goes.
*. *,
I'm a staunch supporter • of
royalty, but I'll go along with
the British press in the • latest
verbal spanking it h'as. given .to
Princess Margaret and young
Tony whats-his-name. It • was bad
enough to take off for' a Carib-
bean holiday, leaving behind .not
only a two -months -old baby but
some 50 ' million ' half -frozen,
browned -off Britons who couldn't
'-."^afford the .' trip. But when Tony,
carnet • back with his usually well -
slicked hair converted to a mass
'of curls by ' a 'permanent, it' was
enough to make a fellow. go,
"Ugh."
Do : you •know'•something I'm
sick and tired. of? I'm sick : and
tired of reading artieles about the
enlightened new leaders of black
Africa,, fighting to ; • free their
down -trodden: black ' • brothers.
From what I can gather, many of
these enlightened leaders are pure
thugs," whose first act whenthey
some authority is to purge
all . opposition.
.Somehow, newsreels of 'skulls
being cracked ' Eby ' clubs,, even
thoughthe 'kulls „are. black and
the arms swinging;; the ,clubs are
just.: as black, don't fit into my
ideas, of freedom and democracy.
Or do .two blacks, make a white,.
these days?

Speaking of ;democracy, • .the
present .picture - of pre-election
bribery -in Canada isra pretty one,
as the three. major ' parties dangle:
Fold -age, -pension increases of vary-
.. .ing, amounts. 'I wonder, how on
cerned';they would be about a
pension increase :.if: nobody over
70 ..had a vote?
A far. as old -age pensions go,
•I'm,a .raving socialist, I'd increase
the pension''and lower the• age
limit. But I can't quite "stornach
-the , sudden interest • in the old
folk when there's • an election in
the offing. Perhaps the'.' old :.sy
stem of .a dollar and a . drinknof
whisky 'for a vote was more hon-
est.
* *'.
Across the 'land, teachers' fed
;'erations and school trustees, are
squaring off for their annual bout
of inane -calling What is at• stake
in the battle? 'Higher standards of,
..education? Better • schools and,
Bill'; Smiley_
equipment? Hotter lunches? ,Nope,
just money;
As a taxpayer, ,1 ' Wish those
teachers ,would • cometo them
senses, and realize: ° that' they are
supposed' to be. dedicated; sort of
like ministers, and stop 'wanting
to be aswell paid asother, pro-
fessional: people..If we increase
their salaries, • mark my words;
they will only get big, ideas, and'
go out and spend every cent of
them. •
As a teacher, I can • only' add
that money isn't everything. But
until I have :everything—and the.'
prospect is •dim, -I'll take some of
that money for the time being:.

Don't '.ever; let your. kids' start
taking music .lessons Not if you'
ever want to hear some home-
made music. There are three tak-
ing :pianp;' lessons in .my family,
The other day, while I was shovel-
•ling snow, :I 'figured out .:that they
have more than 20 years of Music
lessons among them. And do ;you
know.. that ' • there's not one + of
them who can sit down and play
a; tune; if .your:ask,for. 'it? They've
either just • finished a piece and
have already "forgotten it," or
'they're just getting up ,a new •
piece. ' and 'can't . play it.:yet. 'Buy
your ,o r d' '''mouth organ.

About. domestic :pets. You can
have ; them,: and : if ;;there: weren't
ladies present, I'd' tell you exactly.
what • you -could do'' with . • them.
We have a smart -cat and• a dumb.
dog,and between-. them; they're
cutting' deep ;into' my '• allotted
Stan:
Recently the. cat went off and
lived ,in sin for a ,few days, creat-
^ing . anguish in the home. Satur
