Smiley s gonna keep on writing columns Well it looks though I going to have to writing here daitge column whether I like it or not People from all over the country have tent their con doleocea and told me to keep the column going There a truly beautiful letter from da and George Cadogan of New wick old almost ancient friends from my newspaper They were instrumental in urging me to Hart syndicating my column Another from Mr and Mrs Meacham Sask your column we felt we come to know you and your wifesomething like the morning man on your favorite station You seera like such special people Please do keep writing A sweet note from Sister Mary Hamilton of Your brings me as I m sure It does for countless folks many a chuckle and always hope to a mixed up restless world May your be not far from you and con tlnue to be a joy This along with a spiritual message of hope and faith And a long note from a Utile kid who lived across from us when I was a mere youth Munro She reminds me that mother and mine were best friends These were the depression years I never heard tnern speak to or of each other except by Mrs Smiley and Mrs This was the manner of life in those days and did no way reflect less caring than more familiar names would indicate When you were married I think your mother thought Susie was very young and you were a man of the world dammit I was I remember first seeing Susie looking so lovely with long brown hair And a lot more from this pretty little kid who is now a mother planning a wedding for her own daughter She adds Please continue Many people will gain strength from how you work your way to a new life sadly thrust upon you And many more in like vein So Im stuck with and are struck with me There was one more letter that I almost threw out as junk mall without opening I t It told me hat thanks to my local funeral director Dean also a friend that a tree would be planted in the Grand Valley Conservation Foundation In living memory of your wife Thanks Dean I taught both his kids and they are fine youth people I ve been at a party when his wife Elaine was and went through the ice pregnant Right now Just as Im writing this column I received a longdistance call from San from a lady who still receives her old hometown paper the Kindersley weekly expressing sympathy I think San is In California but she gave me her phone number and asked me to visit if I travelling We both choked up on the phone Well this is becoming a little sick Ive merely touched the surface of the letters calls cards food 111 try to cut it out So Suse has a grave which she didnt want a tree planted somewhere and a scholarship fund for piano students which she would have loved and or which money is still coming in I hope she is at peace She dldn t have much during her life because of her nature She was a tionist If it was a piano exam shed tackle the most difficult piece If it was a university essay shed take on a topic which made even the professors wince Something like The Interrelationship Between William Blake and Philosophy of Hegel Noway I always chose something I could handle like Emily Dickinson Wrote Runt Poetry And she was the same around the house Some women clean their ovens once a month once a year She did it every week But her misfortune was that she married a slob who thought a bath onto a week was plenty if not overdoing it When the lawn was raked she wanted every leaf off it There was no ring around the collar around this place She ought with plumbers electricians the gas company and anyone else who tried to give her the goaround while I read the paper She made me change my underwear ae nearly went through the roof when the ran their cars and trucks over her polished coffee table And yet she went to my daughter and fed changed babysat and gave mora for two or three weeks after they wre bom She grouched and grumbled at me about our rotten kids who are always broke Then she send them a handsome cheque to bail them out When she was on a high I use to hide because she wanted to do eight things at once When she I came out of hiding and tried to convince her that every man docs the best he can which would makeher flare up and say OK You cook the dinner GEORGETOWN 877 5266 ACTON 853 2010 You may now charge your classified advertisement to your Chergox Account Askfordatails DADl LINCOLN salcs
