Time after time, I've been tempted to takeupmytypewriteranddaahoffaneesemtragingnotetoa weekly editor who has written a particularly pungent edi- torial, only to pause in the certainty that by the time I'd re- ceived his paper, and the time he'd received my letter, the hot issue he'd attacked or defended would be three weeks old, and as cold as a corpse.

The same miserable sods are going to be around on Boxing Day, and the same inefficient, insolent institutions will be back in business on Jan. I. Since it's too late to wish everyone a Merry. I’ll put every- thing in the past tense. I hope you got exactly, what you wanted for Christmas, whether it was a baby or a kazoo or a sober husband. I hope you got Joy. And if you didn't, I hope you were happy with MyrtieorHazel or Pearl or Genevieve. If you wanted a pair of those foam-rubber kneepads for scrubbing, I hope you got them. And if you wanted a mink wrap, I hope you didn't. I hope you were not pregnant if you didn't want to be, and were if you wanted to be, I hope you didn't bust your bum on those new down-hill ‘skils, or bust your heart on those new crosscmmtry skiis,' both of which you are tooyoung or tooold to bedoing any-, thing with except feeding the livingroom fire. l If you are old and lonely, I hope you received a warm, telephone call-about 15 minutes worth, and not collect-, iromsomeoetewhoistymtngandhwesyms.

If you are a schoolteacher, I hope you remembered at Christmas that you too were once a fat and ugly duckling, riddled with pimples, shy to the point of fainting if asked a question, lazy as a cut cat, sort of dirty, really, and yet a striving, yearning, beseeching human bean. If you are a farmer, I hope you slept on Christmas Eve with visions of sugarplums and reindeer fast in your head. Jeez, a guy cap't make any money on beef these days. Might as well get into reindeer. And ifrdu were a father, well, all I can say is that I hope you, too, believe in a world in the hereafter.

We hewers of wood and drawers of water, as Canadians are known, have to stick together and keep onI hewing drawers. _ 1 Every time there comes a crack about hewers and draw-I ers, I burst into a hue and cry. Bursting into a hue is fairly) simple. I can turn purple on very little provocation. as my" family will tell. ' Almost anybody can hew or hue. But the drawers are the problem. Nobody wears drawers any more. How can you cry them when there ain't none. This is a problem that Canadians are going to have to give a good deal of thought to in the coming year. Well, those are my season's greetings to Awl and Sundry (my legal representatives). as well as to all you faithful readers. it you are a business tycoon, a union leader. or anyone in 9 upper echelons of education.
