Ti - February |7, 1966 SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley How The Days Go "It's not the cough wot car- ries you off. It's the coffin they carry you off in." That old English folk saying pretty well sums up my attitude toward life this week. It isn't the work that's killing me; it's the after-hours stuff, in a typi- cal week. Last Monday, after work, 1 wrote my column, then spent five hours studying an essay by Cc. S. Lewis, concisely called "Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe." Try selling that one to a girl whose chief worry is her hair- do, or to a boy who can hardly wait for the last bell to ring, so that he can streak for the pool- room. Tuesday night I went curling. First time this year. Next morn- ing, I felt 112 years old when I crawled out of the sack. My muscles worked only in fits and starts. Wednesday afternoon, rushed to matinee to see movie of Mac- beth. Sat with doe-eyed female English teacher. Later told my daughter I'd held hands with her throughout the show. Daughter furious. Wednesday night, a two-hour meeting of our staff's General Futility Commit- tee. Thursday afternoon, a_ two- hour drive to the city, through a swirling snow-storm with Kim, her last (halleluiah!) visit to the orthodontist. Five years and 700 dollars after it all began the kid has straight teeth. Two more hours home, the transport trucks giving us a mud-bath about every two miles. But we had a jolly conversation, in the cozy car, in the black night, in the white wilderness. Talked about four-letter words, their origin and their fascina- tion. We agree they were ugly but powerful. Not the dirty ones. They reveal merely a lim- ited vocabulary. But such epi- thets as slop, drab, slob, clot, punk, jerk, fink, have a certain horrible charm. Friday night is relax night, the week over. I curled again, and later got into a session, one of those "Kids don't know how lucky they are today" sessions with some other creaky relics of the Depression. I also got hell when I got home. But not to worry. Tomorrow ~ «.«: 1 sleep Lk. Tomorrow arrived, about 30 winks later, and the Old Girl, still a bit owly, informed that she wasn't up to driving the kid to the city for music lesson. I was thrust into the snow and ice. She slept in. Hugh was to come home with us, for a weekend's skiing. He didn't show up at the rendez- vous. We went to his men's resi- dence. Nobody had seen him since eight o'clock the night be- fore. With some faint hope that he's either eloped or been kid- napped, Kim and I struck out for the long, dreary drive home. Momma is all rested up, and informs me that we're going out to spend the evening with some § new friends. Groan. It was exhi- larating but exhausting, four of us talking at once. Left at 3 a.m., clutching a delicious home- made coffee cake. Sunday was church, curling in the afternoon, and a _ special treat in the evening -- dress re- hearsal for an annual pageant in the church. I am in charge of rounding up sufficient bodies, of the right size and shape. Have you ever tried to deliver 25 reluctant teenage boys to a church on a Sunday evening, in this day and age? Don't. St. Joseph had sprained his ankle, skiing, and couldn't make it. St. Peter had the flu. St. An- drew just didn't bother showing up. St. Thomas had to go out of town with the bantam hockey team. St. Paul thought the re- hearsal was next week. The shepherds have lost their crooks. The three wise men are two dopey kids who want to get home and watch Bonanza. Judas is sore because he's just learned he's the villain in the piece. And you grope off to work in the dark Monday morning. And you have a rough day. And you come home and look at the mail; two whopping insurance premiums, a fuel bill that makes you want to run for the nearest travel agency, and a notice from the bank that your account is overdrawn. Oh well, it's a great life if you don't die from sheer living. COUNCIL QUOTES (Continued from page 4) Council this month.

LOCAL DELEGATE ATTENDS CONFERENCE Buck Matiowsky represented the Centennial Com- mittee of Terrace Bay and District at a conference where delegates representing a wide range of nation al backgrounds gathered in Toronto to discuss the contribution they can make toward Centennial cele- brations in Ontario. The conference brought together folk art councils and committees from across the province. They mad plans for 1967, emphasizing various national folk traditions and how these have enriched Canada. Major folk festivals in each of the province's 11 Centennial planning regions were one item discussed during the two-day conference. A special conference committee brought forward an agenda which will encourage a flow of ideas from the various localities of Ontario towards folk art plans. Folk festivals, craft displays, food fair, film and slide exhibits and costume events are among the projects being planned in the province. One of the by-products of the conference was on the need for establishment of a Provincial Coun- cil for the Folk Arts, based on membership of local folk art bodies. All of Ontario's language areas were represented in the work of the local folk art councils. A Provincial Folk Arts Advisory Committee has been established by Ontario Centennial (Cont'd P.8)
