MAC Poem by KATE SMITH TV, Radio and Stage Star God grant that I miay see the joke of things, The little things that bother, now and then; God grant my sense of humor may be strong, To weep a bit, and yet to smile again. God grant there be a chuckle in each tear. To every trial God gnant a funny have laughed about it since, I think I would have enough to pay for* a trip to British, Columbia. Just this last week I heard two little stories that go right along with what I have always been say- ing, that the reasoning of children is a wondrous thing. The first one concerns a little boy in New Lis- keard who came to his mother one day shortly before Christmas and told her that his little friend Jim- my didn't believe in Santa Claus, half. ; f , F hi that it was only his father and aap et ta Be Ieee Vera mother, and that he would get "Are you the soul who always tried to laugh?"' And when I nod and answer: "Yes, I am; I tried to kill my troubles with a grin," Perhaps You'll. smile and say: "That was a task. But there's the gate of Heaven; enter in." whatever he asked for whether he was good or bad. His mother told him that it was a different kind of Santa Claus that came to their house and that he had better be good. The other is about a five- year-old Haileyburian, who some time before Christmas told his mother that he was tired of trying to be good, and anyway, he doubt- ed if there was ia Santa Claus so Wouldn't it be wonderful if every-|there was not much use of work- one had a saving sense of humor? Next to good health, I think it is the greatest thing a person can ing so hard at being good. I some- takes me to skid across. the living- have. I sometimes wonder what|room floor and snap the radio off, I would have got out of life if I had not had the ability to see the funny side of things that at times, did not seem to have a funny side. I remember once walking three miles to a beaver meadow where the wild strawberries grew thick and large. 1 picked enough to fill three two-quart jars, but found that I needed about a quarter of a cup of syrup to completely fill the last jar. In those days I had a wood stove and the fire had gone out so I went out and like the little Red Hen, brought in a few chips in my apron to build it up ina hurry. I had foolishly put the jars on the window sill and ias I walked in the door, the window fell, knock- ing all three jars onto the floor where they smashed into bits! A six mile walk and a whole afiter- noon's work gone to glory, not to mention the loss of those delicious berries, with the flavor that is un- surpassed by any other berry or fruit in the world. I looked at the mess and then I walked out of the kitchen, shut the door, and got the hoe jand attacked the weeds in my garden. My little German neigh- bour saw me and came over. She took one look at my face and said, "What's happened?" When I told her she just roared with laughter, explaining between gusts, that she was not laughing because I had lost my berries, but because it was the first time 'that anything had ever happened to me without me seeing the fumny side of it. I rather indignantly said that there was no funny side to that, but if I had ten cents for every time we News from the Evelyn Shoppe It will pay you to visit Evelyn's during the week-end and itake ad- vantage of the miany savings.

ALL SALES FINAL THE \ times think, during the time it); New Years Greeting From Commissioner Carol McLaughlin and Nora Burke were the Fairy Queens when the 1st Haileybury Brownie Pack met this week. Carol also showed the Pack her Nature Chart. Brown Owl brought a hyacinth in bloom which she had planted at the same time that the Pack plant- ed its narcissus bulbs. Packie read a letter from the Commissioner wishing the Pack a good year in 1961. The Brownies then listened to a story and played a new game with spools and string, in addition to having ~ inspection, practicing a dance and doing test work. that if that ho-ho-ing moronic bab- ble that is supposed to be Santa's message to children, really does come from: the North Pole, it would be much better if there were no Santa at all. But thank goodness, the real Santa, the one that I knew when I was a child, and tthe one that I still most earnestly believe in, is not like that one at all, at all. Haileybury Personals.
