June2c This week I celebrate my 40th birthday. For a woman, that is fate worse than death. She shies at the cruel barrier like a jumper refusing a too-tall hedge. For my own part, I view the situation with equanimity, interest, and not a little satisfaction. There were a good many times in my life when I didn't think I'd reach 40, hence the satisfaction. This is the age when a man is supposed to get restless, and kick over the traces. Hence the interest. And I only have thirty years to for the pension, Hence the equan- To my children, my 40th birthday marks the approach of senility. They look on me with mixture of amusement, affection, and indignation. As a fath- they are fond enough of It's my old fashioned ideas they 't stand. Like thinking they should go to bed some time before midnight, and should not go swimming on the first of April, and a lot of mossbound old stuff like that. To my wife, I am a mature an who should start acting like le for a change. I'm a poor father, a useless homemaker and I smoke too much. I am impossible in an argument, sometimes going to the lengths of disagreeing with her. But looking forward to future, nonetheless. She's vinced that given another 15 years, she'll have me house-broken. To myself, I'm a mere youth, just entering the best years of my life, handsome, courageous, adventurous, and only prevented from running off to the South Seas with Gina Lollo-brigida by the fact that she hasn't asked me. That gray at the temples merely adds to i sophisticated charm. T h o groans when I get up in the morning are not my sore back, but manifestations of horror at facing a world in which not fully appreciated. Fortieth birthday is a good time to balance the books. You out whether there's any working capital to buy a toboggan for the long slide down the other slope of the mountain it's The years have been good to e financially, too. When I was married, I had $108.60 in the bank and didn't owe a cent. On my 40th birthday, I have $35.40 e everybody in town. But I have a big, old house half paid for, and a 6-year-old car all paid for and two kids all paid for, and a wife who still hasn't got that fur coat but has floor polisher and built-in cupboards. In the mental and spiritual departments, I have improved with age. At 40, my mind is so quick and active I can keep my wife in a good humour about one day out of three. The ratio used to be one to ten. Atid on Sundays I'm right up there in the front pew with the best of them. Provided, of course, that I don't have one of those Sunning colds, or it's too rainy to go fishing, or I haven't been up too late the night before. , Yes, the years have been good me. By rights, I should be fertilizing some portion of a foreign field. By rights, my kids should have turned out looking like me, instead of getting their mother's good looks. By rights, I should be a dull, poky profes-absorbed in the 17th Century Minor Poets, instead of a bright, lively editor absorbed in sewage disposal methods. Counting your blessings may i considered corny by the cynics, but it has always been one of my favourite rainy-day sports. Not many men of 40, for example, have been blessed with wives three times as smart as themselves. Most ar only twice as smart. I could go on, listing all the good things I have as I step over the threshold into the frightening forties. Suffice it to say that I'm looking forward to it. I'll have lots of company. Some of my best friends are 40. And have been for years. South Cramahe Twp. School Area Board Meeting igular meeting of South The r Colborne Colborne E. JEFFERY taken you 40 years to climb.
