Saturday a couple of strong young people came in to help with an impossible job - the cleaning up - or out - Round Dint._.... il' About with Marththh rri of the garage. What a mess! But that's what happens when you keep putting things in - and taking nothing out! So 1 end up with a jim dan- dy cold ,and sinus infection from all that dust - and you have a good idea what "LOUSY" means. Anyway, I found a lot of things I hadn't seen for many years - they brought back ideas that I had had back then - sounded good at the time - but as the years fly, so do your plans. Somehow, I just can't throw them away because I havenit the time or strength to carry them out. So, I must take a different tack into the wind and see what happens. • Christmas is the main theme now and I hope some of you have been having fun preparing floats for the parade. Christmas belongs to the children and we should try to bring ourselves back into line with what could - be known an "old fashioned Chrism s". Television, with its screaming commercials, has turned the whole holiday into a rat race of buy, buy, buy• f and I want! The children can't understand why they can't have all these things - what is MONEY? - only a word to them. Is it too gets a cold late, this year, to try to make them understand what it SHOULD be? The magic of the little fat, jolly elf coming down the chimney is hard to create. The kids know too much. We were the gullible ones - and that is why we have nice memories of the Yuletide. Those were the days when we worried about making or doing something special as OUR gifts to others - and not expeeting piles of gifts in return. If we could only get the greed - yes, GREED, out of the Christmas season and get back to the real spirit of giving, we would be doing some good for ourselves and our kids. This is why I think more fun should go into the parade and into thoughts of helping those who would really ap- preciate our gifts. When you look back at the broken and damaged things over the year that cost you a Farmers busy with corn harvest We have had a few weeks of wonderful fall weather and the farmers in Colborne Township have been very busy with the corn harvest.

It's our fault they have this' careless - who cares - at- titude because they get too much at .one time. The gift has no meaning, they don't know who -gave it or why, and• they couldn't care less - and I think something should be done to change this whole attitude. Perhaps it is just ME who is mixed up - I don't know. Wish I could just make things better for everyone by just waving a magic wand..:my ESP doesn't reach them. If everyone tries to do a lit- tle - it will turn out to be a LOT. Just hang in there! Friday, November 20 there is a bingo at MacKay Centre.
