You won't believe most of what I'in &bout te, say but I'11 tell you anyway. ll tell yeu, not be- cause it'»l do you any good- It wont-but because it's Sprlng-Nearly and I've sprung a yen to resurrect a childhood that's beginning te look like Never-Never Land. .Too bad for you, but child- hood just hasn't seemned the sania since I left it. Wliy, you just couldn't Imagine the strange hurnan characters we had roaming around then; the quaint family customs we ob- served as tots-customs like "igo to bed, without a word, *when Father says so-or--the lat part through the deor gets the sole of his boot",. Aetually, I exaggerate a little in my own case. My Father was a fair man. He almost always allowed me two words before quitting the living-room for bed-2Good" and "Night". Even no, this custoin was a heck of a lot more fun-more danger- ous too-than the current bed- time trend about "Go to sleep like a wee darling (show teeth> or VU'il uyour Moth- er's analyst"l (hide teeth). But, Sonny. the customs were tan» eompared to the peculiar FAST RELIEF FOR, TIRED FEET a M people who Inhabited my jun- ior Earth-era. O! course, they didn't sem 80 pccu.iar then. "Just normal human beings" was what we cailed them. Take, for instance, thc parents of my time. They were, te a Mom and Dad, complctely egotisticai and whoiiy unreasonable. They un- derstood children-thcir own and everyene else's-as well as they ever cared te. And, as I reaal& nearly. every ehild o! my acquaintance had a pair o! these definite type beings at home. Let nie make it clear that lu my day and agc every child was misunderstood. To be under- stcod was to be a traiter te the ehild class. The idea then was for the children te, make sure they neyer misunderstood the alins and instructions o! their parents, their teachers or any other cf their eiders. This was important te our geucral wcli- being. Misundemstaudiug of these eider, wiser and much larger beings spelled big treu- ble frein, and with, Uic rear. Generally spealng, in my time, there were only two types of children - naughty children and nasty children. There was, e! course, the odd nc ehild, but only adults, had te do with these. (Mostly, It was the odd nice chiid who got wc naughty and nasty cnes in wreng with our bigger-bettcrs). Understand these types of children and you were in business aisng a farn- ily. Back then. that la. I should explain that se far as my parents ,vere concerncd self-expression mneant learning how te say "Plcase", "Thank- you", "Excuse me" aud "Yes, I will" just loudly enough te be audible te those with normal hearing. By modern standards, nxy par- ents had some queer ideas. To thein, Uic teacher was always right. What's more they believ- cd that a geed excuse was ne better than a peer one; that one whack ou Uic seat was worth a huudred words like "Don't do that" and that the world would sureiy disintegrate when my generation grew up. To ar- gue was futile, if net down- right dangerous. Se 1 Was Good-So What? And don't get the idea that 1 had no security ln ehildheod. I had more than I usually waut- cd. If I was bad I was secure in thc knowledge that event- ually I would be found eut and walloped. When I was good- I had nxy moments-I knew my parents wouidn't make "a thing" o! it. After ail, good was what I was supposed te be. Why niake a fu.ss about it? It would- n't last long anyway. That was the view my parents took. Strangely enough, in view o! modern day trends, I didn't hate zny parents. I admit, there were times I disliked them,4 in- tensely, but for the most part I telerated them right along with ced liver eil, orange juice and a "'good Spring tonic". Ceme to, think o! it, I was neyer al- lowed to "hate" my parents. It is, indeed, interesting te pender what ýmethods they'd have used to make me love them again (ouch!). Euough cf parents and chlld- ren. Believe At or not, there were other type beings of im- portance in my time. We had unbearable teenagers where you have insecure adolescents. We had dewnright iniserable mid- dle-agers where ail yeu've got arc frustrated ones. Why, we even had a wide and wonder- fui assortmcnt cf genuinely "Ionery"l oldtimers in place o! your despondent and dejected senior citizens. As children we were in awe o! cur parents but our mothers and fathers were absolutely seared te death cf their parents! Just goes te show yeu how "ornery" the oidtim- ers were in. my day. Life, te us, would have been a duil a!- fair without them. The only time I ever saw my parents "Iget theirs" was when my grandparents came te visit. But, let me te» you, I didn't dare smule when I heard Father say "Yes, Papa". I didn't dame even look as though I'd heard him. Timnes change. I'm realiy not that old, you know (I keep teliing unysef). When I was a chiid we stretched our cars al Uic way frein thc bedroom te hear Jack Benny ou Uic radio in the llving-room. Anl you have te do is sit and look at Bat Masterson.

Trucking Industry Gives $12,000 in Scholarships The awarding of more than $12,000 in high school and uni- versity bursaries under its "Christmas in September" plan was announced recently by the ATA Trucking Industry Educa- tional Foundation, Ine The awards are to go te high sehool graduates and university students who are in "'extenuat- ing circumstances". The novel Christmnas plan was started last Fail. Under it, members of the Automotive Transport Associa- tion of Ontario, (which repre- sents transport owners in On- tarie), agreed to ferego their usual Christmas gifts to custoin- ers. Instead they contributed the money to the Educational Foun- dation. In its first year, 22 member firins made contributions ex- ceeding $14,000. More members have already ïadicated they will be ce tribut- ing this year, and it 'is eîpected the annual fund wifl soon reach $50,000. The ATA Trucking Industry Educationai Foundation was organized te adniinister the fund, and for the first year they decided te ailot the moneys as follows: A minimum o! ten bursaries cf $250- $500 each te students completing Grade XIII and en- tering unîversity. Grants cf $1,200 each te Queen's University, the Uni- versity of Toronto, and the University cf Western Ontario. Grants cf $800 each te As- sumption Cellege, McMaster University, Waterloo College, Carleton University and the Ontario Agricultural Coilege. The hîgh schooi bursaries are being awarded on the recom- mendation cf the Student-Aid Committee cf the Ontario De- partment of Education and will be given te students enrolling in the first year as fuil-time undergraduates in courses lead- ing te degrees, or students en- *else and reck'n roll was what the '36 Terraplane did wheri Father turned it in on a '38. I can even remember that when my Father drove his car at 65 miles an heur over the Van- couver Island Highway and everybody cailed him "a darn fool". As the times have chang- ed so has my Father become a more moderate man. He still drives at 65 miles an hour. But, "chicken" is what they cali him now. I should explain that back in 1my day of extreme youth it was 1quite permissible te cati a damn fool a damn fool. Wc didn't have te worry about what pcnt-up emotions made a man act like a darn feol It was enough for us to know that he was one. Actually, we were very demo- cratic back then. We accepted reckless beings for what they were-darn fools! Another type cf strange being we had was thc fellow who liked himself just as he was and dîdn't give a hoot if anyone else did or net. We had none cf this self-analy- sis then and the person not pleased with binself was pret- ty much in the dark about the reasons why. As a resuit it was easier te' make the best of a bad self-product and be done with it. Anyway, most folks didn't think much about living with themnselves. They were toc busy trying te live with other more disagrecable persons - like their chiidren, their wivcs or their mothers-in-law. Well, lad, I haven't time to tell you more o! the days cf my childhood.Ive got a date with my psychiatrist and I'm late, already. How's that you say? My time was wonderful! Wonderful? -,- it was fabulous! Toc bad I didn't find that eut soener. I might neyer have grown up-or--I might have pickled a few human character specimens for posterity.

The other funds are to be dis- tributed by the universities con- cerned. Iu ail cases, however, there is the stipulation that they are te be given te students who, due to extenýiating circumstances, are deserving o! financial as- sistance and could not continue their studies wîthout outside aid. R. D. Grant, Prg'sident of the A.T.A., and Chaîmman of the Feundatien, said the reaction te the plan had been quite re- markable. Christmas cards eutlining the plan were sent out by the con- tributing carriers to their eus- tomers.

The student was laid off from his summer job during thc steel strike last ycar, his falher was hospitalized, and there were three other school-age children in the family. In view o! his dire need of assistance, officiais cf St. Michael's College made a Special application, and a grant cf $300 was made. Regulations of the feundation specify that if thc need fer as- sistance continues thrcughout a student's university course, fin- ancial aid will be forthcoming.
