It was decided to invite the

annual get,together will be held
:Friday afternoon •June 7 in St.
Sometimes you feel like At-
las, trying to carry the world
on your shoulders. With a
slipped disk and an arthritic
knee.
Well, what can you do? You
can't drop it, It would break
into pieces. And you can't set
it down 'for a rest, You• know
you could never pick it up.
again.
This is the predicament in
which the average middle-aged
husband and father finds him-
self most of the time.
That's the fellow you find
wandering dazedly in a super-
market; or blundering through
a swamp trying to catch a sev-
en-inch speckled trout; or play-
ing golf with intense inepti-
tude.
If you ask him, he'll swear
that he's not quite over the hill
yet, that he can carry his world
for another few steps. But if
you corner him and quiz him,
you'll find that he's not only
over the hill, but sliding down
the other side so fast there'll
be nothing but a greaseball
left when he hits the bottom.
, He'll also be broke, if he has
a wife. My old lady, after a
couple of quiescent weeks fol-
lowing an operation, is in full
cry again.
"What . you really think •
about that' crumby old bed-
room suite?" We bought it on
sale 15 years ago. As far as
I'm 'concerned, it's fine.
There's a raised platform,
called a bed, on which to sleep,
and a number of drawers with-
out handles, which I can open
with a screwdriver. It's per-
fectly adequate.
"What do you do in a bed-
room anyway, except to go to
sleep and .get up and stumble
around in the morning?" I ask
in all honesty.
She gives me a withering
look. Apparently there all sorts
of other things a bedroom is
handy for. Like putting ladies'
coats in when you have a par-
ty. Or, cutting your toenails in.
To me, the bedroom suite we
have seems quite: suitable for
these and other° minor activi-
ties.
James Ohurch .and the TrinitY
delegates will report on "The
Annual."
An invitation has also been
issued to the ladles of Stf'Fatll'S
ACW to attend this joint meet,
ing. A letter was received from
the executive of the Clinton
Spring Fair Board asking the
members to enter the ladies'
competitions in cooking, crafts,
and ether skills. '
Continuing the flower theme
of the meeting; Mrp. JohnGrigg
conducted a 25 flower bingo.
The winners were Mrs.
Edward Wise, Mrs, R. Row-
den, Mrs. William Stirling,
and Mrs. F, Middleton,
Mr. Harison closed the meet, `
ing with prayer after which
lunch was served. Hostesses
Were Mrs. beeves and Mrs„.!.
Smith, •
A brisk sale of plants con,
eluded a very pleasant meeting.
But my wife feels it doesn't
have tone, class, elegance or
practically anything worth-
while - it's just a place to
sleep. Exactly my point, Her
ideas run toward a new bed-
room suite, fresh decorating,
and a lot of other things that
aren't going to make me sleep,
or do anything else any better
than I do in the present shab-
by, lovable, little joint.
I can't, for example, see me
tying my . tie with. any more
flair with a new bedroom suite
in the background. I can't see
that a new eggshell-blue interi-
or is going to make me look or
feel any better when I sit 'on
the edge of the bed, groaning
gently and scratching, at 7.30
a.m.
I fail to realize that broad-
loom is going to, give me any-
thing but a big bank loan. It
certainly isn't going to make
me spring out of that new sack
every morning, carolling:
"Here bath been dawning
another new day.
Think, wilt thou let it slip
useless away?"
It's not really that I'm an old
curmudgeon. It's just that I've
been through it before. We
once started out with '...a .new

pretty impressive, but like

The doc said she wasn't to
study, work or play the piano.
But he didn't say anything
about arguing or being snippy
or throwing cold water on her

If you hear a tremendous
thud one of these days, Atlas
has shrugged.

What worries me is, the re-

notes we should have something
to keep them busy and out of

he features long, straight rows
of productive plants. Deviously
he connects the two thoughts,
