From July 1st to September 4th, I find them the most fascinating, lively, effervescent, intriguing group I ever had nothing to do with. I like eggs (scrambled) and legs (chicken). I like May and September. I like individuals as long as they are being in- dividual with somebody else. I enjoy crowds, when they are somewhere else. I don't like; humorless peo- ple; those who try to impose their morals on others; dirty jokes that aren't funny; waking up in the morning; going to bed at night; phonies; work; cats. I also don't like people with more money than I, people who Rec News Discount And Clearance Mrs. Glen Haskett presented the slate of officers for the Lucan Home & School Associa- tion at the meeting, held in the kindergarten last Tue sday evening.

JAMES GORDON RUMMELL Each year at birthday time, I like to make a brief analysis of my character, my success in life, my likes and dislikes, and anything else that happens to crop up, As far as character goes, I am confident that there is a steady improvement. Some people deteriorate morally as they grow older. I get better and better. Really. Take smoking, for example. I used to smoke like a chim- ney. I even smoked while I was shaving. I learned my les- son. One day I put my razor in my mouth and took a drag on it, and tried to take my whiskers off with a hot butt. It was because I was reading at the time, of course. Now, I never read, smoke and shave at the same time. It's pretty bor- ing, just reading and shaving, or smoking and shaving, but I've stuck to it. I also received an object lesson about smoking in bed. One night my wife came home from a meeting, walked into the bedroom and was confronted by a pillar of smoke. I have never smoked in bed since, except when I was reading. I've pretty well conquered the drink, too. I used to take a drink at the drop of a hat. Then hats went out of fashion among men, for a few years, so I took a drink just to prove that I didn't have a single- track mind. Hats are back now, but it doesn't bother me. When I take a vow, I stick to it. And a few years ago, I swore a solemn oath that I'd never take another drink unless we had company, or were alone. I've given up playing around, too. This occurred last New Year's Eve when my wife caught a lady kissing me with gay aban- don. She didn't mind an Auld Lang Syne buss so much. It was the gay abandon that got her. She claimed it was mutual. I haven't kicked a dog in years .

By Norm Carter The show and dance that was held at the Arena on Friday last was not a success. The crowd Was very small due mainly I believe to the bowling banquets that were scheduled for that night. Those people that did at- tend seemed to enjoy them- selves. Our usual Saturday night dance was quite well attended and they will continue through- out the summer months with music by the Canadian Play- boys. The next big attraction will be the benefit show coming up on Friday, June '7, the proceeds of which will go to the swimming pool fund. Featured in this show will be the Port Sanilac Choral Club from Port Sanilac, Michi- gan, The Canadian Playboys Orchestra for dancing and three acts from the Judy Haskett School of Dancing, all of whom will be donating their services for this very worthy cause. Recreationally, activities are beginning to roll for the sum- mer, including ball, tennis, rol- ler skating begins next week.
