Berrill A Sorting of Souvenirs We all know people who collect things. Some will collect books because they add colour or look right on a certain shelf. Others will scrounge for pretty stones, buttons or bottle-caps. We don't collect. Though we contémplate contradictions were we to meet sudden or unprepared demise. Being our children's lot there'd be some degree of understanding. But should the clearing-up task fall to strangers we're sure that in whatever other world it's our fate to inhabit we'd hear the echo of, "That poor old biddy was a goner long ago! How else could all this be accounted for?" - And it's true. From earliest childhood we've cherished the written word. So there's scraps, bits and pieces clipped or scribbled -- oddments of interest, that's likely to spill from the most unpredictable places. And this is our explaination for -- we don't collect things, they accumulate. Occasionally at an auction we've watched while books farranged in bundles, have changed ownership for a few cents. And we ponder -- what surprises might be found there? As a mark of the author, owner, or reader. Sometimes too, there'd surely be a phrase lightly under-lined; a timely bit of wit or wisdom. _ Perhaps just a few words that had 'intrigued or captured an imagination. And we wonder if in doing this, came the thought 'why couldn't I have said that?' Or possibly the wish to have known the person who could use those common words and spark them with beauty. Our own literary hoard ranges from those simple stories earned as Sunday School prizes -- pages yellowed with years. An inherited first edition of David Copperfield, 1850. Some few, carefully and person- ally purchased, and the many chosen by others with 'time, thought, and the knowledge they'd be joyfully received. : Picking at random one may read on a flyleaf "To Mummy on her Birthday." From another might tumble a child - made valentine, or a post card from some exotic place -- proving, a vacation shared. This way there's bookshelves, cupboards and cubbyholes loaded with a wide variety of mementoes and memories, but not morbidness. As with careful selection there's something for every mood. But our thoughts now are concentrated on one. A slim volume bearing the evidence of much handling; jacket design marred and edges frayed. But we accord it equal consideration with other old friends -- looking beyond the signs of age, (it's what's inside that counts.) It is written by The Reverend William Allen, his third and probably last book, Its title -- Musings. In those hard years of the 30's a short program came to us each Sunday, late evening, via radio. And it's these talks as given over the air, compiled in book-form. This was not a sermon nor was he preachy, but rather -- smidgens of homey philosophy and excerpts from his own adventures into places and lives. And always included were those, exactly right, and usually familiar fragments of poetry. These few minutes were looked forward to, and fell on us like a benediction. A renewal of hope. Tomorrow would be better. And thus, we acquired an affinity with the speaker. On a front page of our little book is the author's personal autograph. On another is inscribed *'Christ- mas 1938. With love from Jim." In a sense, it is now a memorial for two people. The author. The late Mr. Allen was one of Canada's first casualties of World War II. When returning to Canada from his beloved homeland he was lost ast sea with the sinking of the liner S.S. Athenia. The other, who shared our life for more than 30 years, many of which were fraught with illness slipped quietly into the shadows to become a memory, too. \ We are pleased to learn that Mrs. Chas Cotlyn is home from the hospital.
