Sqgct and Spice
by Bill .Smitey
I knew things were moving along too
smoothly. Second grandson . nicely
launched, and I was nicely along into my
second week of tranquility as a baby
bachelor.
Each time my daughter adds 'to the
population exploMon, my wife hustles off to
give her a hand "for a few days." This, I
have discovered, stretches into two weeks.
But I don't really mind, It's rather
pleasant, baching it, for a while. Nobody to
tell you to get to bed just when there's a
dandy horror movie coming on: Nobody to
tell you that you are a bum and a loafer if
you sleep in Sunday morning. Nobody to
switch your favorite cops-and-robbers
program to a lousy medical 'love story.
Nobody. Nobody to listen to your
complaints. Nobody to share a. laugh.
Nobody to gossip with. Nobody to make
you take your pills when your bursitis is
bad. Nobody to cook you a beautiful egg or
make your favorite dessert. Nobody to put
your cold feet on at night. Nobody to argue
with. •
Nobody. I guess that's what's wrong,
with being a real bachelor, Or spinster.
Nobody. It must be grim.
But as I said, a couple of weeks is no-
problem. I can put-a load of socks through
the washer. I can shop better-than most
men, and as Welt as most women. I can run
a vacuum cleaner, do dishes, feed a cat,
make a bed, scrub a sink.
And I can whip up a gourmet meal with
the best of them.. Let's see. Last night it
was baked potatoes, a fat chicken leg, and
'artichoke hearts. The pottitoes were
crisp-skinned, fluffy inside, with a big pat
of butter drooling over the edges. The
chicken was so golden outside, tender
inside it would make Colonel Shnders
weep. The'Partichoke hearts were hearty.
I'd never had' them before, but with a
cheese sauce, pretty doozy.
Night before it was onion soup with
• golden croutons, baked haddock balls
stuffed with shrimp, asparagus tips
swimming in butter, a glass or, two of
Beaujolais, a light dessert of creamy- rice
pudding with mandarin oranges and real
coffee with a 'clash of cognac in it.
Tonight it's going to be something
simple because I'm writing my column.
Perhaps a little lasagna with Meat sauce,
after hors d'oeuvres of fine liver pate,
Camambert cheese, and smoked oysters on
onion thing.
Don't worry. I haven't gained a,pound in
30 years, unlike some I could mention. And
I would be in bad shape without a can
opener, a bottle opener, and the frozen
food counter. But I'm not suffering.
•And there are other compensations. Last
Friday afternoon, took part in a
symposium after work with some of the
chaps,at the Legion Hall. Got into a few
games of shuffle-board and Russian
billiards with some old students of mine,
after all the hen-pecked husbands had left,
and didn't get out of there until 11 p.m. For
some reason, when the Old Battleaxe is
home,. I don't normally do that on a Friday
afternoon. '
Late Sa turday afternoon, after
watching the Olympics, I went into the
kitchen, looked at two days' dishes in the
sink, said, "Screw this foie a lark," and
went out for dinner. Then I went to a 'truly
dreadful show called The Gunfighter,
which my wife wouldn't be caught dead at.
I loved it. I've loved westerns since I was
eight. Got home 'bout I 1 p.m., made a big 4
pot of tea a sandwich , you wouldn't
believe the i gre Tents of, and watched not
only the lat, but the late late.
There certainly are some bonuses,
though I'm running out of clean shirts, and
ironing them is one of the few things I'm a
big shaky on.
However, secure in the knowledge that
my wi'(,e would be home on the weekend,
and able to devote, her usual eighteen
hours a day to my comfort and general
welfare, I was happy.
Then the bolt came. Not out of the blue.
Over the telephone. She informs me that
she is bringing home company. One Poke,
two years of perpetual motion. For a
month. Or six weeks. In order to let my
daughter try to get her year at college, and
finish off her degree work. ...
My response was immediate. ,A roar of
: Holy Old Nelly!"- a longish pause, then,
in a very mild Voice, "That'll he nice, clear.
Won't it?" The only response from her was
a chuckle that would have made • Boris
Karloffjealous, and, indeed, did freeze my
blood.
Then she trilled: "You'll be able to take
him out on his toboggan every clay after
work. And give him his bath every night.
And tell him his hechtime story; And look
after him all day on weekends, while I have
a rest.' Won't that be lovely? I' know how
crazy you are about hint." •
I ,spitttered "Yhabbutt. Yabhutt,"' a
coo* of times and gave up. Twenty-four
hours later, I am' somewhat philosophical.
about it. After all, families have to stick
together, don't they. Lots of grandparents

IBy Rocky Racoon)
Pocky RAcoon is sure that
spring. is' just around the corner,
So. it is time to turn our attention
away from the cold and' the snow
and towards the many activities of
spring.
One springtime activity which
is 'very important to the people
who woq for the Authority is the
planting of trees. Conservation-
ists know that trees are necessary
for good soil, water and wildlife
management as well for
producing many, many products
which man has conic to depend. on
for shelter and happiness. Just as.
farmers plant their corn„ hay and
grain • crops each year ,so too,
Conservation Authorities and the
Ministry of Naturid . Resources
plant many varieties of trees.
In a• later column', Rocky 'will
tell how the Authority can assist
private landowners in reforesting
small acreages of land. Now, he
wants to tell you about't -how •th'e
Boy Scouts of Canada help to
plant:several thousand trees'each,
year on Authority proerties. •
In 1972 the Ontario Provincial
Council of the Boy Scouts of
Canada recognized the need. for a
number of waste or idle areas to
be reforested. Since the 1920:s
Boy Scouts have been involved in
planting trees' and other conser-
vation projects.. This background
made them the ideal organization
to take on this very worthwhile
projal. So 1972 saw the success-
ful planting of 50.000 trees by
1.000 scouts in two districts west'
of Toronto. From' that small
beginning, four years ago. the
program has grown to the point
where 25,000 boy's' a crdss Canada
helped tq plant 1,000.000 trees in
1975. 1976 will be an even better
year. •
This yettr.:6 or 8. packs in the
Maitland District of the Boy '
Scouts _will be working with
'Authority staff to, p !ant 10,000
trees on the Authority'', Morris,
relatives in Sheffield and Toronto.

Rocky talks about
tree planting
Hill Forest Tract property loCated
south east of Wingham.
Prior to the planting clay in
May, the Authority's Resources
Technician will visit the packs and
instruct the Scouts on proper. tree
planting techniques. Also, the
Scouts will canvass their
community to gain the support of
home owners. Each sponsor
(home owner) will volunteer to
pay an amount per tree planted.
Each Scout plants his allotted
number 'of trees and returns to
the' sponsors to collect the
pledges. ,
Planting day is an . exciting
en cent in every Scdut's life. On
that clay the Scouts, their parents
and all others concerned gather to
see a 'forest started. In future
years, it„will remind each person
of the valuable role he played in a
practical project.
the entire • project serves to
benefit not only the work of the
Authority ,but the lives of each
boy as well. They gain valtiable
insight into conservation and
.reforestation. The . country • is
made motO beautiful and waste
land is made' productive as a
result. ,
--Rocky encourages- all.: home
owners to Volunteer their suppoVo,

doing and the money they collect
will contribute to the growth of a
stronger society and. a healthier'
