PAGE TWO GLIMPSES OF THE PAST By CAROLYN LLOYD Vacations are wonderful except for one thing—they end. It’s not that I mind going back to work so much—it’s just that I hate get ting up and getting there if you know what I mean. One of life’s greatest luxuries is waking up of one’s own accord without* the strident sound of an alarm clock breaking up one’s dreams. A nec essary evil, the alarm clock, at least to me, for I never wake up of my own accord at the proper time, being one of those contrary individuals who sleep better after daylight than at the normal time. Wonder who invented the alarm . clock, anyhow, and how long it has been around. I have no early memories of the unpleasant things because my mother served as the official alarm around our house and she had her own quaint way of getting me out of bed in time to go to school. On cold mornings, if repeated calls from the direc tion of the kitchen didn’t work, her favorite method was to jerk all the covers from the bed and dump them on the floor. Once, after several warnings, she just let me sleep and then made me go to school in the middle of the morning when I finally got up; and that mortifying experience cured me for a while. I still shudder to think of the morning when she pulled what should have been the final cure: when all else failed, she ex tracted a dead mouse from a trap and dangled him about an inch above my nose. That was a lively morning in our household, as I was the only one who failed to ap preciate the humour of my hasty exit from the bed. Now after each vacation I am haunted by the fear that I won’t even hear the alarm on the first school morning: •'nd, believe me, it is far more embar rassing to walk in late as a teacher than as a pupil. And so the dawn ing of the new year brings to me tne thought, not of beos ovousiv pealing out the birth of 1956, but of Little Ben tinkling out the sum mons to arise and get to work. This suggestion for the year I will pass on to my feminine readers simply because it is among the more ridiculous ones to come out in print recently. It was made by a woman writer who evidently lives in a hotel or is well supplied with household help. She says that housekeeping is 30 easy these days that the housewife does not get enough exercise; so, she suggests, each housewife should take daily exercise, even if it is no more than stationary running for ten minutes in the backyard. Somehow the suggestion tickles my fancy, so if any of you ladies are planning to take up stationary running in the backyard, I would appreciate being notified. Good free enter tainment is rare these days. Which reminds me—what be came of those radio programs that gave exercises to music? They must have been taken over by the manufacturers of reducing pills in keeping with the trend of doing things the easy way. It is just as well that those programs have been abandoned, for the world is full of people who, like me, think that getting it of bed is all the exer cise one needs the first thing in the morning.
