Just back on the job after a
week in bed with the doctor, as
the Qld gag has it. Actually, it was
a particularly virulent flu I was
in bed with. I was so, sure I was
going to die that I even cancelled
my curling dates.
Still weak and shaky, but I'm
glad I got back on my feet. When
a guy is not on the job, even for a
week, Iris whole world starts to
crumble around him.
At school, my students, without
my firm hand on the helm, were
wallowing in a sea of silliness.
They had discovered they could
get away with murder with a
substitute skipper, and I found it
necessary to, flog six of them at
the mast and keelhaul a few more
to get them herded back into the
fo'csle.
They're reasonably, subdued
again, but there is still some fric-
tion. Because the sun is shining,
and it's a few degrees above
freezing outside, they want all the
windows open. Because .I still
have a fever and don't want to be
in a draught, I want them closed.
We compromised. We closed the
Windows and opened the door.
At home, things were in even a
worse mess, when I struggled
back to a modicum of health. My
family had robbed me blind. Al -

most literally.
Daughter Kim was home for a
visit, with fat and saucy Nikov
Shen. The visit coincided with her
birthday. My wife, in a state of
euphoria and grandmotherly
gormlessness, gave Kim a
cheque that made myeyes water.
with real salt tears, when I heard
the amount.
Kim escaped with the biggest
ripoff of 1974 before I was strong
enough to do anything about it.
When I was able to bellow out-
rage, my wife tried to soothe.
"It's just to help the young folks
out. After all, you can't take it
with you."
My response: "Who the hell
helped us out when we ,were the
'young folks'? What do you mean
'take it with you.' There won't be
anything left to take. Besides, I
wa`sn't planning on going just yet",
whatever the rest of you had
planned for me."
That was bad enough. Worse to
BETTER ENGLISH
By D. C. Williams
WORDS OFTEN MiSUSED
It is better to use UNDER-
HAND, instead of UNDERHAND-
ED, in certain cases - as, "He is
an UNDERHAND baseball pitcher,"
and, "He was accused of UNDER-
HAND dealings." However, in the
sense of being undermanned, it is
correct to say, "The team found it-
self UNDERHANDED." ,
D4 not say, "What did you do
that for?". Say, "WHY did you do
that?"
Do not say, "Page twenty is all
the farther I've gotten in the book."
Say, "Page twenty is AS, FAR AS
I've READ (or, PROGRESSED) in
the book."
Do not say, "It is not as large
as you have claimed." Say, "It is
not SO large as you have MAIN-
TAINED."

TOM SOMERVILLE, HURON HOCKEY SCHOOL,"HURON PARK
come. Son Hugh came home to
see his beloved parents before
embarking on a pilgrimage to Is-
rael-. Every time son Hugh comes
home; I put both hands on my
wallet and brace myself. He's al-
ways just 'a little short'. He's
practising to be an extortionist,
and promises to be one of the
great ones.
Sure enough. He had saved
enough for the return air fare, but
needed some bread for eating and
sleeping in the Holy Land. I
almost said something blas-
phemous about what he could do
with his pilgrimage, but bit my
lip, reminded him of previous
"loans", and told him I might as
well take the money and throw it
off the end of the dock as give it to
him.
His logical reply was that there
was still ice on the bay, so it
would be a pointless gesture.
Left to chew on that, I regained
my cool. I thought, "Well, I've
given money to some pretty
crazy causes in my day. I may as
Well subsidize this disciple as he
walks in the steps of the Master,
or 'whatever. He looks a bit
Jewish with those dark eyes.
Maybe he'll lose his papers, as he
usually does, and the Israelis will
draft him into the: army for two
years."
So I told him how much he
could have, adding, "That's my
first,and final offer." He
acceted with the equanimity for
which he is noted. I retired to my
sick bed.
Lying there in a fever, I
thought I could hear his anct, his
mother's voices going on and 'on,
but I wasn't sure and was too sick
to care.
Next morning 1 was told by my
wife, with a certain uneasiness.
that she had raised the ante a bit.
"Just enough so the poor kid
doesn't starve."
The "poor kid" is twenty-six,
and with his abilities as aeon
artist hasn't the remotest pdssi-
bility of ever coming within hail-
• ing distance of starvation.
With real trepidation I en-
quired how much. I came very
near to having a stroke when I
learned she had almost doubled
my bid, which I had thought was
in trumps.
After years of paying interest
and mortgages and banks, I had
finally got clear, and even had a
few bucks ahead. I was looking
around for somewhere to invest
it, with the hope that I might have
a few dollars extra for the odd
box of beer when I arrived at the
bread -and water level of the old
age pension.
And there I was, wiped out,
practically, in one weak week.
Moral. Never have a joint
account with your wife.
My only consolation was that if
I'd invested in something, we'd
have had an instant depression,
and I'd have lost. every nickel.
That would be a sure thing, with
my luck.
