THE NEWS AND Sei Sam STM TCS 4 My wife keeps asking me why my hands shake. It would not be polite to respond, "Baby, living with you would make anyone's hands shake." So I blame it on the war. Some fellows have burned faces, aluminum legs, sleeves pinned up, glass eye. Some have great shrapnel wounds on abdomen or buttocks, which they will happi- ly show you at the Saturday night party. My hands shake. But the real reason is that liv- ing with her would make any- body's hands shake. What bring this to mind is that I've just gone through about 48 hours of domestic pur- gatory. Cowardly husbands go quietly off to mental institu- tions, or have heart attacks: My hands shake. The occasion was the recep- tion of ovr son's marks at the end of first : ea: university and about $1,700. Plus ta::. When the paver arrived with the first-year results, I threw it on the table, ran to the bath- room, locked myself in, and started flushing the toilet. at twelve-second intervals. As I suspected, it was futile. The alternative sobs of grief and shrieks of rage penetrated my refuge. I had to come out and be a father. I know you won't believe it, but that kid's name was not at the head of the first-class hon- ors list. Nor the second-class honors list. Nor the third. (He had told me, just before leaving for the west coast job, to start looking for his name from the bottom of the page up.) At least it was there. I tried to console the Old Lady with stuff like, "Rome wasn't built in a day, you know," and "You can't grow roses without thorns, you know," and "What the hell, we'll all be dead in fifty years, you know", and similar bits of homespun comfort. It was as useless as trying to hum Flow > Gently. Sweet Afton with a Bea- _tles, record going full bore. Kim was a big help, though. She sat there tossing, "What a lazy bum! Why weren't you tougher with him? How could he be so stupid?", and other bits of oil on the fire. Frankly, I was relieved that he'd passed. My wife was infuri- ated alternatively with the Lord, who hadn't caused a miracle to pass, his professors, who had barely allowed the kid to pass, and the kid, who had allowed a year to pass as though he'd been on another planet. But she couldn't just keep on sobbing and uttering maledic- tions. We had arranged to go on a picnic with another family and their four little kids. So we went. And the results proved to me once again that stupid old platitude that "life goes on." It was a wonderful combination: sun and_ sand; their baby eating algae and ants; their little boys burning themselves as they roasted marshmallows; and a most pecu- liarly potent potion of Gordon's lemonade I'd mixed. Under this prescription, my old girl was so relaxed that she burst into tears of shame and rage only four times during the picnic. Next day she was definitely on the mend. She cried until noon, brooded on her bed until four p.m., but got up and put the chicken legs in the oven for some people we'd invited for dinner. By great good luck, their kid had failed his year outright and dismally. That cheered things up a bit. Later in the evening, an old friend, a professor of English, dropped in with his wife. They were on holidays. Their daugh- ter, an extremely brilliant stu- dent in high school, had also just completed first-year univer- sity. They hadn't yet seen her results. We had the extreme pleasure of telling them that she, like Hugh, had barely staggered through. They left, looking sick. We went to bed, the boss almost buoyant. part time employment in the Terrace Bay Motor 1966 KINDERGARTEN LIST (Continued from page 9) Kathryn Osmar, Ann Rowsome - Ann Louise Stephen Robert Weaver - Caron Lynn Weberg.
