JOHN BROWN 'MOTORS LIMITED Gorrie, Ontario. 335-3325 Nothing annoys me quite as much as the dear souls who, when I'm telling theirs about my retirement, beam sympathetically, and ex- claim gushily, "But you'll miss the sutdents, won't you?" They are shocked and a little indignant when 1 tell them that I will miss the stu- dents the way I would miss a bullet -hole in my sternum, a punch in the mouth, a mas- sive coronary. "But I thought you loved your students," the croon be- wilderly. And of course they're right. I do love my students, in the abstract. I also love apple pie and ice cream, rye on the rocks, lilacs, rag -time music and women. But that doesn't mean I've got to eat nothing else, drink nothing else, smell nothing else, hear nothing else, and feel nothing else, for the rest of my days. Imagine one day of sitting around eating apple pie and ice cream, washing it down with Canadian Club under a lilac tree with the tape recorder blaring rag -time, and a beautiful, soulful woman on your knee. You'd wind up with pie tasting of rye, sickly -sweet music, and a woman screaming because she had an ice cube down her decol-° letage and ice 'cream (choco- late) all over her bikini. One could cope with one day of that. It might even be interesting. The combination has many permutations. But try it three days in a Ow -Of Teri, andT yoii'dwind up in the white jacket. What if the woman started .smell- ing of rye, the apple pie -tasted like lilacs, the rye was hotter'n a fire -cracker, and the music started sounding like strawberry ice cream? And that's how I feel about my students. As we used to say in Germany, "Genug ist genug!", or something along those lines. Does the lion tamer miss the lions when he retires and goes into extensive plastic surgery on his scarred face, his torn legs? Does the janitor miss his broom? Does the sailor miss puking into the wind? Does the housewife miss the iron- ing? Does the plumber re- gret not having scabs on his knuckle any more? Does the doctor miss head colds? Does the lawyer miss the people at parties who ask him if their wife -husband is divorceable? Certainly I'll miss my pupils. Just the way I miss the old rubber boots for fish- ing that I threw out twelve years ago. Just the way I'll miss being a prisoner -of -war on bread and water. It's not that 1 don't like kids. I do. But I don't go on and on and on being their father and their mother and their babysitter and their friendly local policeman and their ingratiating psychia- trist and their grandfather AYRES NUT & BAKING SUPPLIES PEANUT BUTTER 891!. 1 958 KRAFT Smooth & Crunchy NATURAL Smooth & Crunchy BY THE PAIL 22 Ib./i0 kg 354 KING ST.

None of them will be able to read or write or scribble graffiti On the desks or go to the washroom twice. every period: What is to happen to them? It may seem heartless to you, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest that good ole Mr. Smiley won't be there to suckle them at his literary breast, watch them blossom into language that only a sailor wouldn't shrink from, and steer them into cour- sesthat will drive them to suicide. They can go and cry on someone else's shoulder about the rotton parents tjey have, and the terrible t moil of being a teen, and the "fact" that all their other teachers are down on them, and that's the only reason they are fifty-percenters in- stead of eighty-percenters. They can tell some other gullible that they didn't know that that their assignment was due, that the reason they missed the test was that they'd missed the bus. They can give somebody else the big blue or brown stare of utter sincerity while they lie through their teeth MAKE IT YOURS By ELLEN APPEL about why they have thrown someone else's book out the window, or why their desk has suddenly overturned, or why their desks are covered with pornography. Don't get me wrong. As dividuals, I love them. Who could be sweeter than Shawn, wide-eyed, who tells me that the reason he didn't write the test was that he hadn't (in two months) read the book? Who could be more appeal- ing than Lisa as she explains that the reason she is falling behind is not her boyfriend, perish the thought, but her parents, father a wife - beater, and mother a drunk (both of them turning up for Parents' Night: the father a milquetoast, the mother a Sunday School teacher)? What can you say when Greg mutters, shamefaced- ly, t di he didn't get his essa one because he, heck, was skiing all weekend be- cause, like, it was the only decent weekend all winter? Maybe the reason I'm so soft is that I never told a lie, was never late, never slept in, never missed an assign- ment, and sat like an angel in class, when I was a student. Whatever, I'm gonna miss them exactly as much as they're gonna miss me. In both cases, like a tooth -ache. Fashion cross-stitch The plainest. shirt, dress or accessory turns into something speciat, when you cross-stitch a collar, cuff, yoke or border. Don't worry about how fine the fabric's weave; it's. possible to cross-stitch nearly any- thing. The trick to cross-stitch= ing on ordinary fabric is in using penelope or cross- stitch canvas. You draw the design on the canvas, baste the canvas to the fab- ric, and cross-stitch through both thicknesses. When the design is com- plete, you remove the can- vas. thread by thread. The design, however, remains on your shirt, dress or ac- cessory - beautifully and evenly stitched. Here are directions for fashion cross-stitch: MATERIALS: Penelope canvas; embroidery needle and threads; tweezers; sew- ing supplies. Optional: em- broidery hoop. Note: To cross-stitch on fragile fabrics such as silk, you'll also need muslin or another firm, light back- ing. Otherwise, your fabric may pucker or the under- neath threads may show through in front. DESIGN: Either draw simple floral, geometric or scroll designs on canvas, or copy a design as follows: 1. Lay canvas over print- ed design. 2. Trace design onto your canvas. Use dif- ferent colors for each color in the design. checking first to see that your colors won't rub off the canvas and onto your garment. PREPARATION: 1. Pin canvas to right side of gar- ment, matching up horizon- tal and vertical threads in the canvas with horizontal and vertical threads in the garment's weave. 2. If your fabric is frag- ile. pin muslin or other lin- ing fabric to wrong side of garment. 3. Baste a large X -shape through all thicknesses. 4. Baste around edges of canvas. STITCHING: 1. Cross- stitch designs through can- vas and fabric. following il- lustration (a). 2. Work each stitch over the double - mesh of the canvas, taking care not to catch the can- vas as you stitch. 3. Work all crosses in the same di- rection. 4. Make crosses touch. by using the same hole for each adjacent stitch. S. Do not knot ends. Instead. hide short ends by 4 running them through stitches on back of fabric. FINISHIN: 1. Remove basting threads. 2. Remove horizontal threads of can- vas, one at a time, by using tweezers. (If necessary, dampen threads slightly to loosen.) 3. Remove vertical threads, one at a time, using tweezers. 4. Trim backing fabric, if any, close to design. BORDERS: Cross-stitch borders and other details as desired, using the above techniques. ACROSS 1. Waistcoat 5. Leech 13. Wheel spindle 14. Pliable metal 15. Glance at quickly 16. Stairway Part 17.

Feudal tenant Cooking Cerner By TONI GRIFFIN As colorful foods, squash and pumpkins can brighten the dinner plate with their brilliant orange and yellow hues. High in complex car- bohydrates, fiber and rich in vitamin C, these vegeta- bles offer a heartiness not available from other foods. Hard-shell squash have a sweet, nutty flavor. They are delicious when boiled, baked or mashed and served with butter, cin- namon, nutmeg or brown sugar. Acorn squash halves are perfect for stuffing. Try filling halves (seeds re- moved) with a mixture of diced apples, fresh lemon juice, butter and spices for an old-fashioned taste. These squash bake into del- icious pies and muffins, too. For variety, try substi- tuting one variety of hard- shell squash for another in recipes. These winter squash and pumpkin recipes are versa- tile and tasty to enjoy throughout the autumn and winter seasons.
