Wow! Don’t ask that question up around Durham if you don’t want a sharp answer. One might as well ask a man trying to get his hay in how 11 he likes the weather. But down Dunn- I ville way there is at least one man with} an extravagant sense of humor whoi gets a real kick out of the decline and . fall of business. Instead of bemoaning! the fact that business is so rotten that} even the fellows who don’t intend to‘ {pay have quite buying, he rather phil-S [osOphically points to the depression as ‘the sesame of happiness. But let him tell it in his own way as in a recent¢ issue of the Dunnville Chronicle. He 'says: I like the depression. No more pros- perity for me. I have had more fun had in my life. I had forgotten how to live, what it meant to have real friends, what it was like to eat common every- day food. Fact is, I was getting a little high hat. Three years ago only one man of our outfit could be out of town at a time and he had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as pos- sible. Many times I have driven 100 miles to a banquet, sat through 3 hours of bunk in order to make a 5-minute V U“ .- â€"'â€" speech, then drive the 100 miles Back so as to be ready for work next mom- ing.

I am following the Biblical ad- mnnltion: “Love you neighbours.” One looking wives I have ever seen‘. She is a dandy. I am getting acquainted with my neighbours and learning to love them. I like the depression. Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy, that we didn’t v each other, consequently at 6.30 o‘clock. I never had time to go}. anywhere with her. If I did go on ai. party I could never locate her. Since. Ithere was always a “blonde” or a “red- » 1 head” available, I didn’t worry much? about it. My wiie belonged to all the ‘. clubs in town. She even joined the' young mothers’ club. We didn’t have‘ any children but she was studyingâ€"? and between playing bridge and going? to clubs she was never at home. We‘ got stuck up and high falutin’. Wei even took down the old family bed and bought a set of twin bedsâ€"on the in-‘ "stalment plan. When I went home at; Beds and Clubs } 1 We like the depression.

I have lost my book of telephone numbers. My wife has drapped all the clubs. I believe we are falling in love all over again. I am iprett well satisfied with my wife. ‘lThink I will keep her, at least untilq she is forty and then if I feel. like I do now. I may trade her for two twen- ties.
