Brain and Satan Billon a friendly fellow students look on Photo by Lorraine Hews and views Mark day Wednesday January 3 as the first time In when all Ontario mothers synchronized their efforts tuned for one precise reason to one particular hour that of trundling their offspring off to school to reach their 9 destination Did sadness reign in every household that we could turn back the clock and relive the Intervening days between December and January 3 with all Its excitement all its noise and all Its pandemonium Not so most mothers know and all the world docs not wonder Its approximately ten later now Another Christmas with all Its love mixed with moments of terrible nostalgia and poignancy has faded out Its a wonderful tune and a sad time because no matter how we live it or how it is house Christmas is a wrap up time not just of exciting packages but of past encounters past dreams and post great Intentions Every carol and ever strain of White Christmas a recall to most ever one but the very of other Chnstmoses around other in other homes all filled with the same passion of Christ mas spirit and the same flood of love for brotherhood family and fellow man New Yean And then comes New Years Like refreshing face wash to give us another new start with cleaned up countenances and brand new altitudes for IHing It easy to make new resolutions for January 1 because old ones are so Seedy and threadbare Its a great time to decide to change our attitudes because our last years efforts have given us something to compete with But again its approximately ten days later now Strong decisions are not as important Smokers who broke the habit are taking the odd cigarette again and dieters have already dipped into the Ice cream and fried chicken treats Gossipers also arc back on the rounds and once ayiui our beautiful white world is taking on the of old wash Think new ear Maybe what should happen here is a by pro of New Year day be ginnings a monthly celebration would be too much for most of us But if we could just think new year and fresh start very eight weeks maybe we really could break down our bad habit routines but maybe that could prove that we re too weak to change and the next attitude then would be why try at all Well okay Let forget about the bymonthly rejuvenation trip As long as we re seeing ourselves for we are and at least attempting to accomplish thini constructive even once a year that isn too bad At least It proves that we re alive and kick and what so about that Maybe we re not doing so well on our resolutions but do know what We still have Mime J50 left to shine them up j little and think how mueh we can improve ourselves Correction Percy Woods has written to point out an error in the Years Ago column on Jan The Item which refers to St John
