Having slipped one by that sly
old fallow thaaa many years, may-
be I should taka a laugh at my
good luck and start on the second
70. But if the old man’s excuse
for letting me stay hero is to give
| mg time to help straighten out a
crooked old world, perhaps I’d
| better reach for a handkerchief.
Be that aa it may, I can’t deny
that I am 70. Tha family Bible
says so, and there are no mistakes
in that Book. Besides, a look in
the mirror when I share my 70-
year-old face reminds me that mir-
[ tots and human figures do not al-
I ways lie.
Old Man Memory nestled close
up to me yesterday and whis-
pered an invitation to wade around
with him in the still waters of
the Long Ago. He wanted me to
live over again the events that
made Youth a glorious adventure,
but I pushed him aside to reflect
on the charms of the ever present
Now, however much it may be
marred by the crimson headlines
dripping with blood. He gave me
a spin in the old family buggy, but

tinkling music box, but the dial
of my radio gave me Guy Lom-
bardo; he made me marvel at the
magic lantern, but I was more
startled with the dazzle of the nil
ver screen and its technicolor; he
brought out the old oil lamp with
its flickering red flame, but I cast
it aside for the restful brilliance
of electricity. v
One by one pictures of the past
and present were stacked side by-
side until I was convinced that the
whole order of life had been
changed except love and hate.

Although today I find myself
tempted to resurrect from the
[trash can of memory bits of shat-
tered dreams and realities, I feel
that it would be better to quit
dancing with the ghosts of the
[ past snd play more with the live
mlities of the present.
Even at 70 it is not too late for
lone to appreciate the sparkle of
achievement as it nestles in
| newly-made cradle.
Although I may now be classed
with the old, the realisation be
cornea a tragic thought at times.
However sad this may be, I love
eyes of Youth and watch them
[more than ever to look into the
sparkle witli life and hope. I love
I to touch Youth’s velvety hand and
have it lead me to the table of
good cheer or point the way to a
starlit evening. 1 idolise Youth

So, passing under the archway
j of 70, thumbing my way for
coast past the final marker, I am
still looking forward to the dawn
of brighter days for the world,
keenly regretting that although
have not played the game of life
to win with every trick, I have
played my hand the best I knew
how, realising that some cherish
ed prises here fallen to me which
1 Fate can not take away.
Seventy is not so bad if it does
I not happen too often, and it
careful not to do that. I am glad
that mine came along in time for
the radio, the automobile, the air-
plane and electricity. I often
wonder how different would have
been my lot if the stark had left
me squalling on the doorsteps

I would have missed all Hie glor-

and plains of Grand Old Toxas;
missed the bus for dear old Pitta-
burg, where the hand of a friend
pointed the way to the door

all this, I would have missed the
friendships, warm handshakes and
cheerios of those who have tried
in vain to smooth oat the tell-tale
idenefs of ago that Time takes
such ghoulish glee in writing
across our foreheads.
Anyway, K’s 70 for me, and
