many cases are more in tune with those along yorige street await ing those people whose resistance is low from standing in the rain or snow for an hour and a half watching the santa claus parade glotch you r good thing it may be all those red and purple pairs of socks at christmas door crasher specials at honestjeds that contralto soloist at church on sunday you know the one with a tremolo you could sail a ship on the neighborv friendly great dane who pins you against the wall when you come to visit and then proceeds to give you a sloppy ton- gue lashing in welcome or as of late it may be garage sales those innocent little social happenings whereby one could pick up a rag doll and a tricycle for the kids arid a couple of swizzle sticks and an egg beater for the old folks seem to be dwindling fast in their stead are monstrous outpourings of everything from prehistoric cement mix ersfto ancient pictures prime minis ter finge while the latter mayhavedisappeared up out the chimney for good frpmall appearances the garage sales are just beginning everyone with an old garbage pail lid or a cracked 78 of the local comb and tissue- paper band circa 1888 is anxious to put up their wares for public consumption its too bad they seem to be killing a good thing where once it was fun to go and see what the neighbors were letting come out of their closets it no longer has the same attraction one can get just as depressed going over ones own worldly- goods if you go down to the dump today be sure to cover your eyes if yougo down to the dump today youll see something else besides flies for todays the day the glotch comes out spitting stouffville water through his spout and anyone near just might get awfully sickv nic with apologies to that other wellknown song despite the fact the tribune already has a picture of the glotch described by one anony- mous writer as a dump demon it isdifficult to fully believe that hes the real thing that is does he really make the dump his habitat having evolved from the chemical waste there as this writer claims or is he really just some local politician all dressed up in his winter night shirt with his hair combed over his ears trying tostiriip an election issue it would benice if thatarionynrious letter wri- ter signed his name and then we could do some tough watergatestyle investigation into the matterbut for all we know it couldbe the- glotch himself writing those breezy mis- sives c- then again it could be anybody havent we all been down in the dumps at sometime or another v could it be then that the glotch is a man ifestation of what most of us feel about the dump sitting over our water supply shownwa st gersof hisrighthandinsteadof lustone tawttw ittattot through the heavy most of them still retain thepfoper spiritof the wholething and that is its time we got rid of this old punch bowl since uncle gus died andtook his recipe for dandelion wine with him therefs nobody uses it anyway f stillit does seem a shame to just throw it why dont we yes thats it and we could also throw in that old moustache wax- er of your fathers y next of course com es the well known yard sale where the maximum price is about 5 unless someone has unearthed a 200yearold grandfathers clock inmint condition or a 1936 biiick con vertible equally sleek and then one is allowed to add another 10 bucks or so the sales are not meant to retire on so lets nottake all the fun out of them after all charlie brown and the peanuts gang canteven find a vacant lot to play baseball on anymorebecause of organized and these same casual
