" PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Oct. 26, 1977 5 Reader's Viewpoint - Good Samaritan Dear Sir: In September, my husband and I were visiting relatives in Southern Ontario and were in Port Perry. At the fruit stand, near the junction of the highways, I let my car slide into the ditch, Two men from the Fruit Stand used a four wheel drive and eased it out. They refused any pay- sy, just glad they could I can't help thinking what wonderful people you have in your town and I really ap- preciated their kindness. An act like this should not go unmentioned.

Single copy 20¢ 'the one who never 'does EE Re ; yy HE It's a pretty good idea to stop once in a while and give thanks, It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving Day, but it's as good a time as any. It's a day to take stock, look around, be glad you're alive, and if you have anything at all to be thankful about, perhaps mutter "Thank God." There are a few - a very few - who haven't one single thing jn the world to be thankful about, and my most of us, if we are honest, can find all sorts of things if we dig around in the detritus of our lives. 2g For example, my wife is inclined to get bags under her eyes on the. slightest provocation. I never get them, which makes her furious, because she is five years younger than I and infinitely better looking. "Why do you never get bags?" she snarks at me. \ : 'Because I have a pure heart and a clean mind" I retort, which doubles her fury. She is the one who does Yoga exercises and goes op diets, And gains . Iam " i) more strenuous than, ke the cap off a bottle of beer, eats a ng in sight, and has a waist like a wasp. You see, there's lots to be thankful for, Just being alive is one thing. Millions of people aren't: And while things may be rt goes out to them. But pretty groovy in heaven, and pretty grue- some in hell, I doubt seriously that either has as much to offer as being a human on this rotten old earth, Ihave bursitis in my shoulder, arthritis in my foot, disintegrating discs in my spine, and a tooth that falls out every time I bite anything more substantial than a banana. But on the other hand, I don't have cancer, a bum heart, high blood pressure, diabetes, or the crud. I can still hobble around 18 holes of golf, catch a fish, and stay up till four o'clock in the morning and put in a good day's work. Boy, am I thankful. I'm happy to be a Canadian, although it gets a little harder each year, what with inflation, unemployment, pollution, separ- atism and a' Liberal government that is trying to get every nickel out of me before I die so I can't take it with me. But even the government can't destroy our delight in a Canadian fall. I've been in England, Belgium, Holland and Germany in the autumn, And believe you me, baby, none of them is within 1,000 light years of our wild and glorious October, when the Mad Artist starts throwing the colors on His palette. = i I am delighted to have two grandsons, although 1 would be enchanted with a granddaughter, and have spoken seriously to my daughter about this. And Iam deeply grateful that the little one, who went into hospital with meningitis last spring, suffer- ed no lasting effects and is about as sturdy as a Sherman tank. I am quite thankful that only three of the shutters are missing from my house. Instead of three, they could all have been blown off in those terrible storms last winter. And I expect to have the three back on any year now. This year, I am thankful to have a Grade Nine class to teach. What a pleasure their bright minds and faces are after coping with the blase apathy of senior students for several years. The boys are naive and eager. The girls haven't yet decided to become sexpots. They haven't really formed yet the masks they will present to society in a year or so. Infact, I'm exceedingly thankful to have a jobIlike. Many, many persons don't have a job at all, or hate the one they're doing. I can take keen young minds, and within a year or two have them writing and spelling like this: '"The squirl wich was in the tree leeped onto the fence were he seen severial aykorns reddy to be ate." It's fascinating, how one tan mold young minds. Another thing to be extremely thankful for . is the ability to sleep. My wife has insomnia. A lot of my friends have it. I can lie down after any kind of a hellish day and flake out like an old rubber boot, to rise, fresh and dewey-eyed (no bags, remember), for the next day's fray. I'm glad I'm not ugly. I am far from handsome, but I don't scare little children. Hell, if I got my teeth capped, dyed my hair and had a face-lift, I could pass for 58, which I will be next June. I'm thankful that I have a few friends, and doubly thankful that they are all in worse shape than 1. My nose has been broken so often I can't smell a thing. This detracts a little from enjoyment of food. But it also means I can't smell onion breath, whiskey breath, body odor or dead mice between the walls. That's the good old silver lining. I'm a little resentful that my wife is so young and vibrant. But at the same time, I'm thankful. When I get old and miserable, and start dribbling down my front, I'll have a built-in nurse. - Provided she doesn't run off with the mailman. If ke isn't on strike. Finally, I'm sincerely thankful that: our cat has buggered off for greener pastures; my garage hasn't fallen down; my wife tolerates me; and I have nearly finished this column. Thank You, God. .
