Investment advisors to Canadian enterprise and enterprising Canadians 111 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa, Ontario 1.1G 454 news the postman brings; For memories in the making, The things the children do or say, That I will smile about, per- haps, Some futile lonelier day. Grant me appreciation, Of the small joys that are mine, The children's birthday parties, My honeysuckle vine; The clean fresh smell - of clothes just washed; The ivy on my wall, The children's thrilled delight - To wake and find the first snow- fall. For robins in the spring- time, And" autumn's crispy weather - For leaves that crunch, Friends in for lunch, and laughter shared together. Give me the enthusiasm - To greet each brand new day - with an honest joy in living - As I go my simple way; I donot ask con- tentment That would ambition stay - But let me love the little things I find along the way. I Would Be True I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be a friend to all - the foe - the friendless - I would be giv- ing, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weak- ness; I would look up, and laugh -and love - and lift. (Howard Ar- nold Walter) An interesting proverb - There are three faithful friends - an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
