Go on, Any old cat, Take a freshly- waxed floor, Take a guy with an armful of milk and eggs. Take a wife who is up- stairs watching TV when she should be helping that guy sath the groceries, The guy comes in. He sakes off his boots so he won't make a mess on the newly - washed - and - waxed kitchen floor. He is in his sock feet. Right? Out of the grocery bags he takes two quarts of milk, a dozen eggs and a case of pop. He heads for the kitchen counter. At that very moment the cat, unfed, hurls herself at his’ legs, meowing and rub- bing. He lifts his right foot, gently, to turf her out of the way, spins smartly on his left metatarsal, and goes down like Niagara Falls. He fails to eject the grub, out of some dim, primitive idea that you hang onto the grub at any cost. The first thing that hits anything i his noggin, which tries to tear the copper off the cup- board door handles, The next thing that strikes hard-pan is his nose, which bounces off the floor Be a: spray of blood and Yes, he's still holding onto the milk. He loses only one quart of blood, two of milk. His erstwhile wife and protector comes down and finds him sitting in some- thing like a Masai wedding, two parts milk to one part blood, a cold cloth on his torn s place, and his nose going up like a balloon being filled with hydrogen. But there’s no fret, no sweat. He's had his nose broken three times before, ip, eggs all over the and by far better people than a cat, or his wife's waxing. Sitting there among the eggshells and milk and blood, he remembers fondly the time his future brother- in-law gave him an elbow and cracked the old beezer during football practice. And then he thinks of that beautiful free-for-all with the Royal Marines, outside that pub in Wrex- ham, North Wales, when the fighter pilots proved only that they could not fight. And’ he remembers, al- most with pleasure, the day -he was being beaten up by the German guards, and no- body had even broken his nose yet, and then the little guy who was engineer of the locomotive came rushing in- to the circle and kicked him right in the snoot. And I'd like to say this mutt. sat there happily for ever after, thinking about the other times Ua nose had jut Her _ first thought was pure Florence Nightingale. “Everybody will think | did it”, she wailed. “Yes, wolutd think they would,’ ig I untered. “Knowing you.” onethey’ ll think you were drunk”, was her next contri- bution, “Well, that's what I'd think, if someone told me he'd lost a one-round bout with a cat”, I suggest- e “How am I going to get the blood out of that towel”, she queried. “Well, you might pretend you were a vampire, and suck it out." “People will think you've been beaten up”, she wor- tied. “Yes”, I rejoined. Smugly. No answer. “im going to lock the door, so nobody can see you.” And 1 replied, “I'm going to call a press con- ference, and admit it was all your fault, because you'd waxed the floor, and you nical, almost —_vicious hadn't put the cat out, and you weren't down to help me with the groceries,” Pre-School Teacher Training In Full Swing At Selkirk College With 16 Fail Time Students Enthusiastic students eager to learn and partici- pate in class are any teach- pre-school teacher course under the Teaderahip of Mr. Cathleen Smith of ful task of se- participants from among the large number of appli- cants has been singin; : ren's songs or impromptu exercise sessions which break up the strain DISTRICT SOCIALS and the group now working toward their pre-school tea- cher’s certification includes residents from ali the sur- rounding communities as well as two students coming from as far 5 away, as Cran- brook and Sal Their diverse backgr- ounds range from a per- son holding a Master's de- gree in clinical psychology through students who have done some college work, to those who aid not complete is plannin, care work his regular occup- ta fact, a full dozen of the students in the class have had some experience working as assistants in day care centre, play schools or Kindergartens.
