We joshed him and. Ed, Higgins said, "Oh you made a mistake Tim, It's the big museum in Toronto that wants the picture," The youngsters have been rehear- sing' now for about three weeks. The school children rehearse during the daytime and the older ones all go to the schoolhouse for their rehearsals during the evening. In my day that was always a great place for a little "wooing" on the side. In fact, people are now talking about the oldest Don- ovan boy taking the schoolteacher home after practise. They were giv- ing a real joshing at a woodbee .the other day, He was blushing and grin- ning but enjoying the whole thing. If he eats lunch with the teacher at the school concert, the older folks will have him "married off" by Easter. Driving home from town the other day I was surprised when the teacher hailed me. She's a bright looking girl with a pretty face and after a few lines of inconsequential chit-chat about the weather, she said, "I under- stand you sing." I almost fell off 'the load of chop, and took great pains to explain to her that I couldn't sing a note, She didn't seem to believe me and when I drove away I could see she was more than ever convinced that I was holding out on her. I was completely bamboozled -by the idea of where she had,ever picked that idea up, Everybody in our fam- ily knows that singing is an impossi- bility for rne, and my screechings are done at the back end of the long hundred when I am absolutely cert- ain there's nobody around, Some- body had sabotaged me. That was plain to see, So I didn't dare ask a soul because I knew they would laugh. Murder will out, as they say, and sure enough Ed. Higgins said to me the other day, "Hear you're' goin' to favour us with a song at the school concert." That was enough to let me know who the culprit was. Ed, is a great hand for kidding anyhow. Well, being secretary of the school board I get first crack at being chair- man for the school concert. I wonder how Ed. is going to feel when I call on him to say a few words. He hates getting up at anything like that. In fact, I think I'll announce that Ed is going to give a short discourse on The Art Of Singing In Public. .
