Some of the time seemed like Chinese torture, but they see right through every bit of you. No pain. Melvin Walsh (self-styled favorite cousin) phonetl to tell of a sign on a closed restaurant in Lake Geneva which read: MERRY CHRISTMAS PIZZA ON EARTH Sometimes I get puzzled. We help so many countries and get so little appreciation. One country wants a couple of billion dollars without a pay back agreement! ^ „ Billions are spent to put men on the moon so we stay ahead of Russia. / --And, we have hungry people in our country. / I don't think the hunger problem is as serious as people with no heat in their homes. Political hot air does nothing to keep those poor people warm. The conversation went like this: Lady: "I don't think you ever referred to a man as being too big for his britches. I have a man in mind" Me: "Me thinks I must have used the term. Don't tell me the name of the man.'*- Lady: "Aren't you in­ terested?" Me: "Sure. But, let's start the New Year on a friendly basis. -~ mmm mtw* * * ' mwwwu and, how come it is always a% man who is- too big for his britches?" Lady: "Because men are always in the public eye-and men are conceited." Me: "Men are in the public eye, but gals are in men's eyes." Lady: "You are getting off the subject. What was I saying?" Me: "I can't remember." (To myself. Quit while you have a chance. Never try to get the last word with a lady.) My listeners never heard of the old time term used to describe a person who was deaf. He was "bothered". Now is the time to clean out 6he old cards in your wallet. Christmas spending probably cleaned out the cash section. Now we know that time is moving along. A letter from the Johnsburg Oldtimers Club tells that the now famous "Hit and Run" baseball banquet will be held Monday, Jan. 23. Reserved tickets are now available, but to guarantee your reservation you have to get your money on the line before Jan. 12. ~-X This event is always a highlight of the year. Vince Lloyd, who must know his way to Johnsburg by this time, will be the M.C. as ususal. Other baseball personalities will be ready to speak after the knife and fork time. We look forward to this banquet each year. It is a fun time A while back, Mercedes Hoffman *Was thoughtful in sending me the following poem on modern day grandmother. I wrote and received per­ mission to print it. Senior Citizens, Inc., advised that it was submitted by the well known Anonymous. 1 Here it is: GRANDMOTHER 1980's STYLE The old rocking chair is empty today For Grandma is no longer in it. She is off in her car to the office or club And buzzes 11 around every minute. No one shoves Grandma back on the shelf; She is versatile, forceful, dynamic. That is not a pie in the oven, my dear; Her baking today is ceramic. You won't see her trundling off early to bed From her place in .the old . chimney nook; Her typewriter clickety-clacks through th» night Ptor Grandma is writing a book. Grandma ne'er takes a back­ ward glance To slow her steady advancing. She won't tend the babies for you anymore For Grandma has taken up dancing. She is not content with crumbs of old thoughts, With meager and second-hand knowledge. Don't bring your mending for Grandma to do For Grandma has gone back to, college. • Registration under way for winter 'Y'xqlasses The winter registration of classes and activities at the Lake Region YMCA begins the week of Jan. 16, and registration is now under way.
