h { |) 4 ) v A A ERR TAS XT! Be SEE A RR EE oll DN LAY oS SLY or Ns Ay "ie, PRT PERRY Winter is fast approaching and with it comes an upsurge m spending. Heavy clothing is needed, overboots and under- wear, parkas, mitts and all the other small and large addition to the family wardrobe-that will keep each member warm and dry in the months ahead. And then before we know it, Christ- mas will be at our doorstep and that too, invariably involves shopping for gifts. Town merchants have also been preparing themselves and buying in large stocks of all kinds of clothing, gift material of every variety and in every range in order that they will be prepared to serve the wants of customers in the area. They can rarely do this with a straight outlay of cash and must, if they want to provide the wants of their customers, go temporarily into debt in the interim period. However, that is sound business practice in as much as one is endevouring to provide pro- duets that another requires. You Can't Shake Fat How much do vibrators help in fat loss? None at all says Get Fit - Keep Fit, a national health and welfare booklet. Research has shown that the average woman would have to be shaken for 500 hours to lose one pound of fat. There-is no mechanical way that fat can be pounded, slapped, or shaken to redistribute it or to lose it. If the body takes in food and it is not used in the function of the body, then it is stored as fat. The fat is mobilized chem- ically from the storage depots as it is need:u for muscular work. | Hn. TH. TH Editorial Page Make It A Local Christmas A What is needed then is co- operation with the local buyer purchasing the majority of his goods from the local merchants who is willing to provide them. It makes rare good sense particularly in a small town where every dollar spent in the community comes back to the community in one form or an- other, whether it is by way of taxes or an outright donation to any of the many groups, clubs or organizations who sol- icits support in their annual projects. Let us get together in this matter and do the thing that will benefit everyone. Decide to shop at home this season. Girls ToBe Proud Of Congratulations and a big cheer to Mary Nelson, Joanne Jackson, Jan Baird and Karen Murray for their courageous pum spirit and fine effort on part of the Hospital Building Fund. The "Walkathon" Saturday, in spite of more than unfavour- #% able conditions became a decid- ed success, but only due to the "never give-up spirit" of the girls. To walk from Port Perry to Uxbridge and return, a distance of 20 miles was a fete of sport as well as of great benefit to the new hospital. About 45 persons sponsored' the walk and the net result is expected to be about $225.00. This is good, but with a greater participation on part of the towns people, which the effort deserved, the result could have been better.

I know every man leads a life of quiet desperation, according to Thoreau. Td settle for that, if mine were even quiet. This has been one of those days that make me wonder how the hell I can be the sweet, gentle person I am underneath. It started at five a.m., when the Old Lady's alarm clock failed to go off. She had checked it four times between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., switching on the light and waking me up each time. At 4.45, she settled into a sound sleep and woke with a great lurch and a scream of dismay at 5.30. She takes off for the city at 6. Scrambling. Tea and toast. Eyes like rubbed by sandpaper. Turned on the out side light. Six inches of fresh snow, first of the year. More scrambling, for winter boots, long laid away in some hidey-hole. Shoved her into the snow and tottered about from 6 until 8.30, having cups of tea, shaves and anything else that was re- viving. Off into the blizzard with Kim. No snow tires, naturally. Was going to put them on this week. Taught all day. Committee meeting at 3.15. Department heads' meeting at 3.30 until 4.30. Column to write but went around to the garage to get the snow tires on. Three hundred other people had the same idea. Home at six. Two kids (that useless Hugh's home) sitting listening to records, with the breakfast dishes in the sink. Blew up. Got the dinner organized and a few home truths off my chest. i But no rest. Out into the bleak night for another meeting at 7.30. Lasted until 10. Accomplished? Zero. Home at last for peace, quiet, relaxation. Kim hit me the minute I got in. A propo- sition. She's been asked to play the organ with a rock group. It seems the in thing for groups these days is to have a girl in them. She'd also sing. No catches whatever. Except that she'd have to buy an organ for $150 and spend about 20 hours a week practicing. Noth. "frig 10° 4it She". has 'da Annrdved in the bank .. |Sugar and Spice §& AAR A from summer earnings. She could easily borrow the other $50 from the bank. * Brief lesson in economics. "What do you have for security?" She wanted to know what that was. I explained that if you have $5,000 in government bonds, the bank will lend you $50. Maybe. The only assets she could think of were: her bicycle, leaning against a tree in the snow in the backyard, unridden for three years, a portable record-player with a brok- en arm; a guitar that was worth $40 in its hev-day, ten years ago; and "her" piano, which I pointed out was owned by her mother. } "But do you know how much this means to me, Dad?" - "Yes, and now get to bed."
