It is bard to believe that this will be the last time 1 will be endeavouring to write a column, this year. 1994 bas gone by faster than other years, at least it seems that way, and then again in other ways time bas seemed to have stood stili, especially when it is time to sit down and write sometbing that you hope readers will find interesting enough to read it to the end of the column. Sometimes I wish that I could write fiction, it is much easier to put on paper and no one can tel you, that you made an error. Facts are much harder to put in print, you must watch your spelling, heaven forbid you speli a name wrong, you- must watch your grammar, don't use improper language, try to check and get al dates right, don't want to make anyone appear older or younger than they are, have to make sure that you don't put down the wrong date for a coming event, someone migbt take you at your word and arrive to soon or too late. There are tbree things I always have at hand when I sit down to write this column, tbe dictionary, theBible, and the phone book "If what, I want aint in any of these th-ee, it aint anywhere." To those wbo take, the time to read tbis column, I would like to "Wish You a Very Merry Christmnas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year."
