Santo' them kids though, they do work
hard sometimes and they shore don't
git low marks hecuz they wants to,
ya know. I was wanderin' aroun' the school
jest the 'tither clay and I heerd music
class singin' Irish songs. Shore wish
I wu4 Irish; Mandy Cott (she's muh
Wife) says I ain't no special raalta car
breed or company'e product. She. says
I'm jest one consarned nuisance When
she's makin' cookies. kShe can make
the best cookies volt ever swiped out
of any cookie jar.) She. doesn't think
I'm so bad when it eions to ehoppin'
wood, though.
Wal, speakin' o' school agin, Wing-
ham District High 530:lool now his a
total of 330 students. There is thirteen
teachers, a faithful secretary and two
o' them janitors. Everything from
bakin' cookies (almost as good as
Mandy Lou's) and workin' typin'
machines to wrestlin' is larnt at thet
thar school.
Did ya hear aboot the two new
photographers in Wingham District
'High School? Wal, Eleanor Wight-
man and John Freudeman have start-
ed takin' pitchers, One day last ‘vcek,
they was presented with a camera
each. It seems they sold the most
subscriptions to magazines of any-
body in the whole caboodle, I figger
they must have the highest powerest
salestalkest of any o' them wound-up
gabbin'-machines. One o' them fellers
tried t' git me t' buy a subscription
to some Woman's Magazine or sump-
thin'. He just wrapped me around his
"runt o' the litter" finger and acre I
am readin' aboot how to bake sookies
and stuff (shore have a one-track
mind when it comes to eatin' eh?) I
think Miss Behrens gits her mixtures
(I can't spell the write word, poor
spellin' always was one o' my habitual
idiosyncrasies,) wal anyway I think
she gits_ them out of this magazine.
(I can't swipe her cookies cause she
keeps them hid.)
As I was sayin' everything seems
to be quite normal around W.D.H.S.
these days. Jest you wait 'till these
here exams is over an' then i hur
shore will he sum high-tootin hawg-
rassels to celerybrate. Watch the pap-
er and teachers' faces for exam re-
sults,
figger I better be gettin' back at
this wood or Mandy Lou')) he out
here with the rollin' pin a,gin shore.

Grandma was one of those unforgettable characters you read about.
And every time I think of her, I remember one of her favourite
sayings: "Early sow — Early mow",
Many years have passed since Grandma died. But just the other
day something happened to remind me of that old motto of hers.
I was working over my budget, trying not to admit what the
figures told me: My savings had slipped. At this rate, it was a cinch
that some of the things I'd started to save for would have to wait.
Suddenly I remembered "Early sow . . "
"Old-fashioned stuff I" I told myself. Then I got to thinking.
"Maybe it is tough to save today. But it's still important . .. still
my only hope of getting some of the things I want most.
"Well, at least I'm keeping up my life insurance payments,"
• thought. "That's a way of saving which combines protection for my
family as well. And maybe if I make an extra effort to put more
money aside I'll reach my goals sooner.
"So here goes! I'll try again, I'll find some new ways to economize.
Somehow I'm sure I can manage to be more thrifty."
And you know — -i-t's a funny thing! The moment I made that
decision, I realized that Grandma's idea was not old-fashioned.
I've just caught up with her now!
