/Neighbors can be a'nuisance.
Mut not if you=s;e' ltivate -them
properly. I`havo good neigh-
bor, and by,handling him with
kid gloves during -the summer,
I receive from him the only
Christmas present that rally
impresses me.
It's a crafty piece of work,"
anti I hope he doesn't read
this. What I do is this: I let
him beat me at golf all sum-
mer. I gasp with admiration
when he hits a tremendous
slice off the tee. I shake my
head in positive disbelief at Ms
approach shots. •I shout a re-
sounding, "Well done, old boy!"
when he sinks a 14 -inch putt.
By the end of summer; I
have him right in the palm of
my hand.. He hasn't realized,
for a 'moment, that ani time I
wanted to, I could take hire out
on the. course and give him a
terrible diiiltbbi ig.
What I have done is to incul
cote in him the idea that he
can do- thing's much better than
I. And just before Christmas, I
spring the trap.
I buy my Christmas tree, lug
it 'home and get the usual com-
ment from my wife that it's
the scraggliest tree in town
and can't I even be trusted to
buy a decent -looking Christmas
tree. No matter. It doesn't both-
er ane. I merely invite her to
take it back and get a better
one.
Then I, begin the experience
that has driven me closer to,a
stroke than anything else in
my life: putting the rotten con-
glomeration of gum and prick-
ly needles in an upright post
tion.
There are very few things
that I will admit, according to
my wife .1 am arrogant, smart-
alecky 'and opinion4ted. In her
opinionated opinion I will fight
until the last dog is hung, she
says, (and by the way, who ever
heard of anyone hanging a dog?)
over a matter of principle, such
as who threw the chowder in
Mrs. • Murphy's overalls.
But there's, s-ne thing I will
admit, hugiltiy. I can't get the
Christmas trees to stand up
straight. They don't just lean
a wee bit. Yon can remedy that
with shims under one foot of
the stand and ropes and bailing
wire.
But my trees don't lean,
They genuflect. They kneel in
prayer to the firCp1a e.
This used to drive ane into
wild rages which.were very hard
on me. Cursing, sweating; roar-
ing with rage at my fierily,
knocking all the skin oft every
knuckle on both' hands, sawing
and chapping like an insane
woodsman. And) the thing still
bowing with the grace of a
debutante making her first
curtsey.
And this is where. my suan-
mer's humiliation comes:In. Oh,
I still go through the motions.
I saw various lengths of trunk
off the 'bottom. I hack away a
few branches. I swear and yell
a bit. But this is only a cover,
for the family's sake.
When I've had enogh of
play-acting, I call my neighbor,
John, and in dulcet tones ask,
lIow is the best little old
Christmas -tree putter -upper,, in
the whole country?"
He's overto our house in 60
seconds. I know what goes
through his mind. He thinks,
".Poor sod, He can't even play
golf. The least I can do is give
hien a hand with his tree, which
is child's play." And it is, to
him.
I haven't .mentioned that he's
a specialist in mathematics and
physics. Ile pops over, looks at:
the tree; gently points out that
the butt is inserted in the stand
at a 45 degree angle, corrects
it, and up goes the ruddy' tiring.
In three ;minutes. Standing.
there. Solid, steady, not a quiv-
er.
'uiver. It hasn't fallen; down once
since we , became neighbors.
Every time it piens,-• it's
like a fresh Miracle to ane. I
look at the bleated thing. and
there it sits; grateful, digiti-
•fied, and not trui sed,, up with
ropes like, a runaway, 'calf, ,as
my trees used to be before
John.
It's pretty hard to take that
licking in golf all stutterer. Bet
what you lose on the bananas
( and John has a beautiful ba-
nana ball: that's ranee that goes
off the tee in the general shape
of a banana), you make up on
the Christmas trees, as Hugh,
Dunnit, that grand olds Welsh
bard of the eleventeenth cen-
tury, used, to put it. Putt it?
No, put it. Golf ;wasn't even in-
vented in the eleventeenth
century.
Have a good New Year, golf-
ers and neighbors all.
