You cast your eyes down coyly, and start to make inane remarks about onlybeing as old as you feel, when they follow 'up with: "I'd know you anywhere, even though you've lost a lot cf hair. Row long have you had those dentures?" * x a We made our seani-annual safari to the Big Smoke last week -end, and did a whirlwind tour of our friends. We've found that the best way to stay friendly with old friends is to visit them every five years, admire their children, dogs, and furniture, and diAce a fast getaway. They think you're the most charming old friends they have. ' :g * It's something the same tech- nique to be used with relatives. 1 love my brothers, sisters and cous- ins, and am sdelighted to see them once a year or so. But if they arrived by the carload for Sunday dinner once a month, even, 1'd move to the west coast. * We have a peculiar assortment of old friends. Same of them are so cultured you wouldn't dare say a bad word like "money" in front of them. Others are so.liawdy and illiterate they think "culture" is some kind of fertilizer you use on your garden. Which it is, some- times, Fertilizer, that is. :� .* * -•--•-Two- sold friends who spent the evening yarning with us in the hotel room were fair samples of the innate oddness that afflicts most of our old friends.

How would you like to have goof - balls like that on your list of odd friends? Sunday we picked up the trail of more friends. Reports on their present circumstances were enough to curl your wig. When we knew him ten years ago, one particularly degenerate , type was payihtg his way through college by 'playing the horses, and had a weakness for gin and tap water, an odious mix- ture. He is now a 'devoted husband and father, and an outstanding member of the clergy. *: :x 4' • Another specimen from those days was apoet, and he ,had all the traditional earmarks.

Rent Shed The bathing house concession, formerly operated by the late °t{eat MacDonald, will be leased to James Reid and Donald .:pert MaaoAdam, it was announced at last Friday's Town Council meeting. In the past, the concession has been leased for $50. annually. There was never any written'agr'ee- meat, but one- is being drawn up. for the town now. At the previiofn.s Council meeting, three applications had been re- ceived from parsons interested in taking over the concession. The applicants were Peggy MarclDonald, widow of the late Bert MacDonald; Donald Bert lMacAdam, his grand- son; and Ivan 'Lounon. Later, Mrs. MacDonald and Mr. MacAdom withdrew their applica- tions and a new application was submitted by a partnership com- posed of Mr. MareAdam and James Reid. On recommendation of the water, light and harbor committee, Council accepted the application from this partnership. Council decided to do some in- vestigating before making a de- cision on a request from a grain dealer, who wishes to rent space for an office in the old freight shed down at the dock. In the request, Parrish & Heim - backer, Ltd., orf Toronto, wrote: "For some time we.have been look- ing for some space in which to open a small office at Goderich to service our customers who truck grain from the grafi. elevators. "We noticed the old freight shed which you have down, on the dock, and we were inquirting whether youwould be interested in giving us a lease of some kind about 20' x 20' of this shed at ' e north- east corner of the building." The letter continued, "We realize that this building is just a shell and (Rlt'at we 'would have to pay considerable money to have this portion made liveable so that it could be used .for an office." ,Adding that it is anxious to became established in Goderich, the firm asked )Council what rental would be charged. should Council be willieg to lease the space.
