I didn't even think of my own birthday until everyone was away for the day. Oh well, I thought, they're keeping the surprise for the dinner hour when we're all together. My daughter will bake a cake and fuss over it—candles and all. My youngest son will have eyes as bright as saucers trying to keep the secret. My oldest son will appear very disinterested but he'll let me know in his own way that he approves of the festivities. And my husband, I thought, will make my day with the kind of practical surprise that only he can muster. On my arrival home for dinner, I discovered that my husband had made plans' to go out with the fellows for dinner, My daughter was in a rush to get to a friend's house to work on a school project. My youngest son was engrossed in a television show and my eldest boy was in a black mood because of pending examinations. It was obvious at that point my family had forgotten me. "Is there anything special for dessert?" I asked my daughter, still hoping they were keeping me in suspense until the last moment. "No", she said. "I thought we'd be having cake," 1 said just before the torrent of tears which had welled up forced their way to the surface, Some of my friends who already know about this episode have questioned my Christianity because I put my family through such a time of suffering as immediately followed the realization that they'd done it again. Let me assure you all, I have no particular malice for my March 16—The Court Constantine L1842 met on Thursday evening, March 9, in the • hall for their monthly meeting. Business was discussed.

I love them all dearly, But like Flip Wilson says, it must have been the devil who made me carry on the way I did that horrible evening. I just couldn't help myself. My children assured me they knew my birthday was upcoming, In fact, they'd planned a big celebration for three nights hence. I asked them just to forget it. I told them I'd not wanted gifts in the first place—just their love and good health. But still I cried uncontrollably. My husband said he was sorry, I knew he was. It was evident in his eyes that he was truly regretting his forgetfulness. But still I wailed. "I'll shoot myself," he offered. "That's not necessary," I sobbed. "Why didn't you give me a hint like other normal wives do," he shouted, "Why didn't you just say something to remind me?" "So now it is my fault that you forgot my birthday is it?" I cried, hating myself for saying it. "Somehow everything turns out to be my fault." "The neighbors remembered my birthday," I wept. "The kids down at the office had a little coffee clatch for me, My aunt remembered me. My cousin remembered me, My church even remembered me. The house is full of birthday cards and gifts from them. But not one of you could remember to say "Happy Birthday". A fine family I've got." As I twisted the knife the tears flowed harder. I cried and cried until I had everyone feeling as miserable as I was, I had my revenge. I really didn't want to be that way. But my human emotions got the better of me and I had messed up my birthday in a way that none of us will ever forget. Was I right? Was I wrong? Was I justified?

In fact, the young man would go out of the way to display his chest. He is as arrogant and proud as a monkey he claims to be "father." Alas, I cannot claim such distinction. I have failed in my quest for manliness. Already, I am nudging my 20th year. All 1 have•to show for my anxieties is one lonely, scruffy- looking hair. Even at 13 years of age I could sense the symptoms of the dreaded disease "bare chest" appearing, or not appearing, if you like. If you have ever been 13 yob will recall how desperate that situation can be. I had been told by an eminent teacher that a concoction of water and chicken manure (minus the feathers), would, because of its high phosphate content, cause the hair cells to sprout. "Just apply three times daily," said he. I faithfully strived to follow the strict schedule. Strangely enough, throughout that school year, the classmates had a weird habit of avoiding me. You'd think I smelled or something, I was infatuated with the opposite sex at the time (I still have that interest) and was slightly worried. I discovered a BY MRS. H. F. BERRY March 16 Mrs. Berry was hostess for the March meeting of the Tuckersmith Unit 1 Brucefield United Church on Monday afternoon with an attendance of 15. The theme for the meeting was Spring, Mrs, J. McNaughton opened the meeting with a poem "Nature Yawned and Smiled". A hymn was read in 'uniso,n and Mrs. E, Thomson and Mrs. Berry had charge of the devotion. Mrs, Thomson read from Matthew and spoke on seeds sown on stony ground. Mrs. M. Haugh gave an interesting talk on seeds and the care of bulbs. The offering was received and dedicated by Mrs. Thomson. Mrs. Berry closed this part of the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Stoll, president, chaired the business meeting, A St. Patrick's Social and auction sale was planned to be held at the home of Mrs. Haugh on March 17th in the afternoon. Each member is to invite a guest., Miss Swan read a letter from Mrs. McEwen who is spending the winter in Wingham, also a Thank You card from Mrs. Paterson and Mrs. Marion Hill.

Ken Anderson and Jim Thompson leave on Thursday for a two-week trip to Europe, with the Geography Club from the Seaforth High School, perfume which was guaranteed to "wow" the girls. A liberal dowsing was required for every application of the concoction. Apparently, however, the girls found the musty mixture to be devastating and still avoided me, One day, in my 16th year, a tiny hair appeared. How I cultivated it! First the concoction was rubbed in, Then it was washed off with an antibacterial soap. I shined up the hair with lemon oil and twisted it around a tiny stick to give it a dignified curl. I was jubilant. A hair, the answer to my dreams had come forth. Now, I could call myself a man. Mind you, it was the first, and also the last hair. The only other growths were pimples. Just recently, however, I had occasion to inspect my hair. It wasn't there. Wildly wondering if someone had stolen it, I scratched around in the skin. It had completely disappeared, My remorse was inestimable. The plummage of my manhood had departed. Interestingly enough, though, I don't feel any less a man, The eminent teacher's thicken manure must have eaten away at that iron-sheathed hair. The chemistry textbook relates the decaying powers of phosphorous on metal. My hair lasted four years, Doesn't that make me a man.
