I'll never say it again as long as I live. Truly. I mean that part ahopt leering snow, Ever since that column wrote about us skiers revel- ling ht real winter, things have gone haywire around here. It has snowed (about 24 hours a day and about one inch per hour) and mowed (gale force) and the temperatere has plum- Meted like a hawk going down for a fat hen. All I can deduce is that either Somebody Up There has no sense of humor, or that the Lord is on my side. I'm not quite sure which. But it will be a long time before I try Arena activities pe some CrUIlnmy Air .Petnnle, ore who would try te. convince us that our Yetleg, juicy, fresh lives were fair •etSChangie tOr .some vague. crap labelled ft: freedom,' er "cIPIPP.g.r.4c.,y"Pr "home-,and-loved ones," Neeietheless,_ we gpt#00 and polished. .4.41 cursed, Op the, big day, we were drawn up in a hollow square, On the ftelc4 MO! silk scarves were ex- ehangeci. for spirts and .ties, l'IYing'1).0.iits. for polished shoes„ bare heads for caps at the right angle, beards for clean-shaven Wee, Officers in front, other ranks in the rear, where they Jelly well. should be, to a detane erecy, A little plane hopped the nea- rest hedge and butterfiyed into the middle of the square, The motor was cut, A massive figure, rather like an old sea, lien, struggled out of the rear cockpit, and stood on the wing. We didn't need the jutting eigar to tell us WhQ he was. Be grin- eed, swear his eyes, twink- led, as he looked us over. Then he lifted les right arm, as though to make the famous V-Stgn. inteao, he made a rucie gesture, then beckoned. The "other ranks" safelyin the rear where nobody would be offended by their cheap uniforms and low pay, could take a hint. They gave one wild cheer, and ran toward the piane. So help me, several officers in the front rank of the hollow square were trampled so deep into the mud of Normandy that they weren't found for days. The old man with the great. heart, who should have been safely at home in England, not dodging about the airfields of France in a tiny, unarmed air- craft, gave us five minutes of the famous Churchillien prose, Not the kind you'll find in the history books, I'm afraid. More like the kind that Julius Caesar used to give his legions. Roars of delight answered him. Now, how in the world did I get from the white wilderness outside to a blistered, baked, octane-stinking, converted pas- ture in Normandy? Frankly, I've no idea. I keep telling my stu- dents to stick to one idea, to write in logical sequence. I hope the inspector doesn't read this.

United Church Mrs. Cliff Cronkite gave her first of a series of talks on the hair and nails at the CGIT meet- ing in the United Church school- room last Monday evening:Nan- cy Park was in charge of the worship service and Mrs. Mur- ray Hodgins took the second chapter of the study book, "Tai- wan". To commemorate Youth Week (Jan. 25-Feb. 3) it was decided to commence work on the ma- king of stuffed animals in the old post office, from 2 pm. to 4 pm. and to invite the public.

Cold closes area schools Owing to the extreme cold and bad roads, S.S. 2 Biddulph school was closed Monday, Thursday and Friday. The Coursey school was closed on Friday and there were onlyfour pupils present on Thursday. In the Lucan school, Mr. Keith O'Neil was home sick on Fri- day and Mrs. Ivan Hearn took his class, All other teachers were able to get to school all week, although Mrs. H ar old Cobleigh didn't risk going home Thursday night, but stayed with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don Ranting. Principal Jenkins reports the Lucan attendance was good, considering the weather with not more than 25% away. Mrs. Corbett reports, on Thursday only 14 of the 251itt 1 e kinder- garteh pupils were present but on all other days her attendance was good. Lucan Medway pupils made school all week but the buses weren't able to pick up all the country children, some of whom were absent for as much as three days. gettfpg flippant about tne wea- ther again.

Old Battle- axe has those mid-winter blues, and the dog and cat have to be literally kicked out of doors, The only cheering note we have had this week was a letter from our sister-in-law, who ie wintering in balmy old, toasty old, sweaty old Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean, stating that she had lust recovered from the worst cold she had ever had in her life.liah! To top it all, the inspector is coming to the school this week. This event causes roughly the same panic among school teachers as an announcement that Princess Margaret would be around for tea on Friday would cause among a gaggle of housewives. It reminds me of the alarm and despondency that used to take over at any camp during the war, when it was learned that a senior officer would be making an inspection of the camp. Everybody knew perfect- ly well that the old trout would merely totter around the camp, inspect a guard of honor, and head for the officers' mess to maintain that purplish comple- xion he had taken so many years to acquire. But there was always the chance that he'd be one of ihose maniacs who actually wanted to taste the slop about to be served to the other ranks, instead of joining the officers over their Scotch and steaks. Or one of those nuts who ac- tually drew a white glove along that window sill, looking for dust. Or one of those fiends who actually believed that sol- diers, or airmen, or ratings, were human beings, and asked them all sorts of human-being questions, to the complete and utter detriment of ordinary dis- cipline, unit morale and the divine right of officers. You never knew what you were going to get. Worst offender of this sort I've ever experienced was Win- ston Churchill. One time in France, we were warned that a Very Important Person would visit our wing, which was flying dive-and-rocket fighter - bom- bers from a field in Normandy. We sneered. Figured it would Celebrates 90 years One of Lucan's oldest resi- dents, Mrs. C.W. Hawkshaw last Sunday celebrated her 90th birthday in the Riddich Nursing Home, 531 Talbot St., London. When Mr. Riddich sold his nur- sing home in Lucan e Mrs. Hawk- shaw, who had been a patient here since last June, accom- panied Mr. Riddich to London: Guests at the birthday party included her daughter and son- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hod- gins, two members of her old bridge club, Mrs. T.C. McFar- lane and Mrs. T.A, Hodgins all of Lucan, and her cousin Mrs. Pearl Wallace and her friend Mrs. Cowan of London. Before leaving Lucan Mrs. Hawkshaw had the misfortune to fall and break her left arm but, other than that, she is feeling very well and did enjoy her birthday party very much. Mrs. Hawkshaw not only ser- ved as organist in Holy Trinity Anglican Church for 25 years but was also organist in the old Presbyterian church, in Lucan for 10 years. Even though she retired in Sept. of 19 5 5, she often filled in at church ser- vices, weddings, Guild and WA meetings. When she retired at the age of 82 a dinner and presenta- tion was held in the church base- ment and by request she accom- panied Lucan's late postmaster Charles Haggar, when he sang "The Bells of St. Marys". By NORM CARTER This week being Minor Hoc- key Week, activity at the arena is booming in so far as the Minors are concerned.

Radcliffe's Gift Shop, which had been closed for redecorating, re-opened Satur- day, and since then, Mrs. Rad- cliffe has been flooded with con- gratulations from travellers, customers and friends. What a transformation! Six feet of black, black-board paint, topped by 30" of poetry paper (which looks like wrought iron) forms the artistic back- ground for old and newly pur- chased gifts. The re-arrange- ment of show cases, together with the new decorations seem to add to the size of the store.

He urged perents to keep drugs, iodine, cleaners, polishes, cosmetics and pesticides wider lock and key away from inquisitive chil- dren and at all times to read labels carefully on all purcha- ses.
