The life of a columnist is
drudgery! Take it from one who
knows. What to write about aft
er the excitement of the biggest
day in the year is over is quite
a problem. We can’t very w611
discuss what Santa brought us,
being entirely too one sided, for
who cares what I got for Christ-'
mas?
Anyway, one of my gifts was
a brand new kitchen, all white
and gleaming. Now I am under
obligation to keep things clean
and neat, so instead of walking
out on the lunch dishes to write
a column I have to give up my
minute rest period and wash
dishes! Oh, wurra, wurra!
Across the street from the of- ’
fice a lineman is climbing up a
telephone pole to do some re
pair work. Of course, I’m glad to
know that in a few minutes
someone’s phone will be re
stored, but I'm sure glad that’s
not my job. He is dressed in a
heavy parka, but the wind is
blowing and it is near zero, and
the man is not wearing gloves, i
It is a trite saying that it takes
all kinds of work to make- the
world go 'round, but one won- i
ders why any man would delib
erately choose such a job.
Then there is the man on the
snow plow, he always looks so
cold. Garbage collection must
be a pretty rough job in this
kind of weather, too.
For that matter, longshore
men must also have a rugged
time once in a while, in some
kinds of weather.
All this may be just a woman’s
viewpoint, but from where I sit,
there are many kinds of work
that I am just too soft to take.
Whenever you get fed up on
housework, and staying home,
it might be a good tonic to make
a list of all the things one would
rather not do than housework,
then watch the old morale build
up.
While planning for the rest of
the week, and getting ready for
New Year's dinner, don't forget
to engage a baby sitter so you
can go to the big dance on New
Year's Eve at the Civic Center.
The Firemen hope that every
body and lus brother will be
there, each with a girl friend.
Not only to have a good time,
but to add to the building fund
for the new fire hall. See you at
the dance, folks!
GUILD CHRISTMAS PARTY

Christinas parties are still in
full swing this week. The Ladies

Man is an awful jerk: He
takes a girl out and blows a
week's wages on her in one
night, and when he gets her
home, if she gives him one
itty-bitty kiss he thinks he’s a
conquering lady killer.
