correctly, 1 breathe the fatal words from the
back scat of his car during a:trip home from
Toronto,: and 1 realized, it was a: tnastake
when 1 was. threatened; with the prospect ;of

Resolved: not to tr • ;to . m. back into

stretch of :stoney use-at•your-oww-risk road.
1 d0;14 think I'll attempt another short-cut
from any •mistq
in'79
Because of a few hair-raising events in
1978, I'm able to add some new lessens .to:
my 1079. list,
•
Resolved: not to let my Oldest n p a d st a hew
take me to the drive-in; unless he guarantees,
, his car muffler won't blow up.
Resolved: not to try to correct the speech
, habits of my niece and nephews. Three
against .one are hopeless. odds,
• Resolved: not to argue with my brother -in.
law about :baseball, cars, female drivers pt'
any other subject, unless, he starts it.
He started a lot of arguments in 1978.
Resolved: pot to abuse or abandon my
1978 calendar.
few weeks ago 1 wrote a column in which:
I admitted '-that my calendars were ,usually
turned into, shopping lists: and,then thrown in •
the garbage:'. ,..:
A reader •phoned to. point out`4.'the •.
•
{
wastefulness ;off My ways. She thought
nursery schools, day care ;centres, ; re- 4, _
habilitatioi centres and other', organizations.,
.could make use of the calendars esep4ia1ly.if
they,, contained seasensal or other . eye.
This year. VII; save my used calendar -and
'any extra ones l C"eii'ftnd and try to locate
someone who scan put Went to a good„

REsolved: not to lock the car keys and the.
apartment key inside the car at the same
time, especially when the extra keys, : are
locked inside the apartment.'
Thank goodness for a slightly op n lar

Judging from the length'of tiny list, 1 must
have ,learned a . great' deal in 1978. 1 made
More mistakes, :WO think I've admittedto
enough, As 1979 begins; l'Il just ring out the
old bloopers and ring in the 'new ones. •
