Song of^ffte Common Cold
Did you get it yet?
Have you joined the moist group?
If you haven't had the cold yet, you just don't count!
Kleenex manufacturers ignore you. Your friends can't
pity you. You can't muffle your words, blow your nose and
sneeze at the same time. Oh, such harmony. Except it's
a shame that you can't enjoy the pleasing sounds, I mean
youi- ears being plugged up and all.
Mv cold is so demanding, instead of rings on my finger,
I wear a roll of toilet tissue.
All of a sudden my Kleenex, once lightly carried, now
it has become my daily nose paper.
What do you mean you don't know if you've got the cold?
When your nose feels like a four way highway, active
and forever trampled on.
When you feel like pulling snakes out of your ears,
and snails out of your eyes,
When your head hurts so much, that It makes your ears
tickle, and your jaws itch.
You've got it!
When your forehead feels hot enough you could fry an
egg on it,
When you're warm on top and freezing on the bottom,
and can't feel anything in the middle,
When your goose pimples bunch up together and go on
strike, pulling your hairs with them.
You've got it!
The other night I heard my toe nails cracking. The nailpolish
froze on them. On my fingers, it started to melt.
My friends call me red nose, horn blower and the sneeze
kid. My only defence is the occasional feminine throaty
bark, and my constant Whapcshooos.
Out of annoyance, no doubt, people suggest cures.
"Drink hot rum!"
"Take such and such
"Spray your nose."
"Get drunk."
"Wipe your nose."
"Just Ignore it and cough it off."
"Go to bed." (?!!?)
Nothing works! .1 still have my cold.
If I'd go to a doctor, ten to one, he'd breathe his cold
germs on me, and charge me for it too.
Same with my pharmacist, he'd probably cough his way
through.
But I don't mind having the feverish depressing feeling,
seening everything through my Kleenex, and greeting friends
with watery eyes.
It's the thing nowadays.
The trend is wall-to-wall colds.
Matching red noses, with matching red ski jackets.
I feel "In" with my bold red beak.
So if you haven't had it yet, you better get it!
Come
on your
"Blow!"
on, get with it. That's
mark, get ready, get
"The most important mindforming
aid in any home is the
selection of books it makes
available to its children'*, says
Mrs. R. J. Moss, Convener of
Cultural Activities, Federated
Women's Institutes of Canada,
in her message to the members
for Young Canada's Book Week,
November 15 - 22. She urges
them to give their children
every opportunity to go, "exploring
with books", and points
to the many good children's
books that are now on the market.
Mrs. Moss emphasizes the
need for the Women's Institute
to continue their on-going project;
support for local libraries
in their communities and assisting
to establish them in sections
not already served. The
service of "Libraries on
Wheels" should also be explored,
she states, and goes
on to say: "Above all, have
books In the home to give every
child an opportunity to acquire
the taste for good reading."
Mrs. Moss concludes with
this quotation from Beecher,
which was also used by John
F. Hayes, Patron of the 1966
Young Canada's Book Week
in his message; "A home without
books is like a house without
windows. No man has the
right to bring up children with
out books to surround them"

The following letter from
Miss Enid Abrahams from Guyana,
who visited the Cariboo in
June has been received by local
W.L's.
Dear Friends; Do you know
that I have arrived safely home
on the 27th of September and
have since then been kept exceedingly
busy. Despite I informed
no one, except my
brother, who met me at the
airport, news of my arrival
quickly spread and, when I got
home about 4:00 p.m., within
one and a half hours my home
was full of friends coming in
and going out until about 11:00
p.m. that night.
Everybody seems eager to
hear about Canada, the people,
the treatment I received, the
things I saw, the places I visited,
etc. You can imagine what
a greeting and meeting It was.
The children at home were all
excited and rushed out to meet
me. The weather was hot and
the flowers in the yard were in
full bloom.
My mother's face lighted up
and gave me such a hug and
right, wrinkle your nose,
set, "Sneeze!" "Cough!"
J
W.l. Corner
kisses of welcome home. My
sister looked on in joy and was
the last to greet me. After four
months away in cold lands, I
return to find the heat making
me a bit uncomfortable and at
school I have to sit near an
open window and allow the
breeze to fan me all the while.
The experience I have gained
and the knowledge secured have
been wonderful. I hope to be
able to bring home to the people
of Guyana the good and workable
things of Canada. I will
long remember you. I will
always be writing you. I thank
you for my store of knowledge
and for making my stay
pleasant.
During my absence, I had been
again elected as President of
the Guyana Federation of Women's
Insitutes. I have a great
responsibility and willbeginmy
tour of visiting the groups soon.
When I am finished compiling
my report, I hope to send a copy
to the Executive of each Province.
May God Bless and Keep you
while we are separated by
thousands of miles but still
united In heart.
Yours cordially,
Enid Abrahams.
Instead of sending cards,
former students remember

Manitoba, with a donation to the
Unitarian Service Committee at
56 Sparks Street. Ottawa.
