WE’RE ALL NUTTY
HERE AND THERE
Ry P. N. Britt,____
MUCH Christmas joy,
My wish for you;
Good luck on high,
For New Year, too.
* » *
HERE we are again into the
“Peace on earth, good will to
men” season. And away we go,
milling around. Same as last year
and the year before and every year
since the years began to come and
go.
Up to now, it does not seem to
have got us very far, and most of
the milling around doesn’t seem to
have made much sense. Many of us
hang onto our chisels (and carry
them around with us, without stop-
ping to think that peace and good
will and chiselling are not good
mixers.
* * «
PERHAPS it’s because we have
not got into our heads a pro-
per line on the good counsel,
“Peace on earth, good will towards
men” given us long, long ago.
Most of us are pretty hard to get
along with. Our general behaviour
is such that we make it pretty hard
going for other folks in our homes,
shops, offices, factories, or wherever
we happen to spend most of our
time. When we come to think of it,
it is in such places that we could do
much to bring about peace and good
will around Christmas or at any
other time.
« * *
AS Christmas comes along, lots of
folks get ashamed of themselves
—if there is any shame in tham
—and go out and get a case of eggs
or something and send it along to
someone, with a view to making up
for a nasty manner or a year of lack
of Christian charity or decent treat-
ment. If we all practised peace and
good will things would be a lot bet-
ter than they are. Sometimes I won-
der why someone doesn’t give post
graduate courses in peace and good
will. He might get a big class, and
do well at it, and it might not be so
hard to live with a lot of folks we
have to be around with.
* * *
/ A KINDLY act is a kernel sown.
That will grow to a goodly
tree,
Shedding its fruit when time has
flown,
Down the gulf of eternity.”
* * «
A CERTAIN woman wanting to
sing in grand opera, asked a Ger-
man music professor to hear her.
He played her accompaniment and
listened to her for a few minutes, but
she sang so far off the key that he
finally slammed down the piano cov-
er and refused to continue.
“What’s the matter?” asked the
woman in amazement. “Don’t you
like my singing?”
“Der trouble mit your singing,
madam,” asserted the professor, “is
dot vedder I play on der vite keys
or der plack ones, you sing in der
cracks.”
* * *
ONTARIO’S a cute old place,
Her conduct’s always right,
She says so, with a serious face
And then gets awful tight.
She must, for last year’s liquor bill
Convinces us of that:
She bought and guzzled booze until
’Twas fifty million flat.
i
The liquor board down there in Ont.
Has just got out the bill,
To show us what that gargling want
Has brought into it’s till.
Ont. must be going to the bad,
There is no doubt of that,
And many mornings must be sad
Just after such a bat.
* * *
AT Wilson, N.C., last week, a
truck owned by J. Oliver White
and driven by Carson White col-
lided with a car owned by John
White and driven by his son, William
White.
The accident accurred in front of
the home of Mrs. J. E. White. The
officer who investigated was Robert
A. White.
To make the record complete:
The truck was painted white and it
was loaded with milk.

Happy New Year.
