BIRTHS

WIEDEMAN — To Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Wiedeman of Williams Lake,

--- WITH
IRENE

It doesn’t seem possible that a year
has rolled around since I started this
column, although then it was called
“Xmes Shopping with Irene” and was
meant to pass from the scene with the
coming of December 25th. I'm afraid
there wil] be no Christmas Shopping
done for the benefit of our subscribers
his year. With a fussy baby to care
for, J will be lucky if I get my own
shopping done!

hardly wait for the Christmas, p:
ably a couple of years hence, when
Blaine will be old enough to enjoy the
festive season.

Incidentally many people have been
wondering what Clive will do about
hat electric train that he mentioned
hoping to purchase for a son. I don’?
see why 4 little thing like the wron¢
sex should hold him back, for overy
one knows that even little boys rarely
get a chance to play with their trains
because Daddy is usually in the way.

I only hope that we can give Elaine
as lovely memories of her Christinases
to come, as I have of the ones I have
left behind. Perhaps many people
think it spoils a child to grant their
requests to Santa Claus, but I don’t
feel particularly corrupt for having
had indulgent parents — and lovely
gifts.

Doll buggies, bicycles, fur jackets,
were my desires as I progresed
through the years. One year I was an
ardent devotee of Hawaiian music,
and if I only had a guitar I was sure
I could teach myself to play it. So I
got the guitar one Xmas and a book
of lessons too. With no ear for music,
I painfully managed to pick out
“Aloha” is about a week's time. Then

I made the mistake of visiting
friend to proudly display my gift.
With a natural musical talent, he

picked up the instrument and gleefully
ran through a number of tunes. I felt
my interest dying ‘right there, and
soon my prized guitar was gathering
dust in the upstairs hall closet.

(The only time it was mentioned
again was one evening a number of
years later when Clive asked me “How
my catarrh was?” and not hearing
right, I said “Upstairs in the hall
closet!”

Lovely memories of wonderful gifts,

but even more important are the fond
