THE THEME SONG all week is "Let's travel light this year", and all the while we're making lists and checking them oft; list! which contain items never used alt year. like the bicycle pump or mother's oil paints. About Wednesday (in between the man! washing and ironing bouts) small piles ot items begin to make their appearance, underwear here, games over there; and by Thursday there isn't a chair left to sit on. Meantime, mother has some big project on the go. which is something she would like to finish before Saturday (perhaps a sun-dress for herself or a pile of shorts for the children, all cut out and ready to sew). Instead, she'll buy 'em up north and pay twice as much. Handy though, to have the sewing-machine 'at the alert" for any last- minute mending jobs, even though it adds to the general Con- fusion. . FINALLY, THAT DAY COMES. The shortest day ot the year. Looking back over the years, we remember most that they all have an underlying sense of precious time ticking away As we invariably get caught up in hopeless situations like long- winded telephone calls, clotheslines falling down, or Junior catching his head in a hole in the fence. Everyone has had to cope with incidents peculiar to their own way of life and one year our family solved the problem of innumerable trips from a top floor apartment to the parking lot with the usual bags, boxes and so forth, by lowering every- thing out the window on a “we held by (yours truly) me, up above. Our system amused the neighbours of course, and it was disconcerting to say the least, to the tenants below us, to see our stuff waving in the air past their windows. The kibitzers and the comedians were there of course, and the whole episode was hilarious. The gal with the giggles (up above) holding the rope, was endangering the lives of those below, but no one seemed to rare. _ LAST YEAR I SEEM TO REMEMBER thinking I'd never make it. I had a long-winded conversation with Annt'Lottie which was awkward to terminate since I had called her to ask if she'd look after Myrtle, the turtle. Then I had to clean up a near flood in the front hall, caused by a little helper C.') moving the lawn-sprinkler too near the house. I think that was the year, too, that the children decided to play "store" with all the groceries I had packed. They were so sorry they offered to do the pile of dishes that had accumulated in the sink. While I ran the lawn mower over the grass (which Junior had mowed in a lovely striped effect) they rounded up some little helpers and with much noise and laughter, finished the job. I was so pleased to get those dishes out of the way I didn't mind mopping up all the water they had spilled. EVERYONE KNOWS THE FUN and excitement at THE DAY of course. Background music is supplied by Father, who grumbles cheerfully about the load, and re-iterates again and again with heuvy sarcasm, the old retrain, "Let's travel light this year!" As we set out, Myrtle's dish had to be on my lap (in order to deliver her to Aunt Lottie on the way) and I couldn’t relax until the wet little varmint was out of the car because Marquis the poodle might. and could have done her in with one bite. It seemed all of us had to breathe alternately (we were packed in so tight) but somehow managed to wave and boot our farewells to the neighbours and at last were off - or so we thought. Junior suddenly remembered he'd left "Radar" (his teddy) on the piano stool so. after touring the block. returned for Radar. With sheep- ish grins and listening to the kidding of the neighbours we un- tangled somebody who could go in and get old teddy. Then Father's exasperation knew no bounds as he said, Somehow the day DOES end, though. with me ironing right up to the very last minute and Father trying to wedge everything Into the ear's trunk. Midnight snack is around 3 a.m. and I usually don't remember, or haven't the strength to wash my face. "Let's get rolling before you think of something else to “at! In'." Born in 1822 to the pastor and his wife of the small Ger- man village of Neu Buckow, Heinrich had . happy childhood roaming the countryside with little friend Minna. a farmer's daughter. It was a neighbour- hood rich in lore and legend, and the boy was thrilled with the stories his father told, es- pecillly those of the great Greek heroes of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. He decided he would one day journey to the site of Troy, and rediscover the ruined city and its treasurer “I GOLD 0F TROY self completely to intensive h By Robert Payne istudy. in two years of hardship Cm l man be both a dreamer.” learned seven languages and hard-headed business ty-)fluently, and from that time coon?
