( mi irrrur
f By, ETU AN GRANT .
If anyone should happen to re
mark that I need a haircut, think
nothing of it. I , have suddenly
discovered '-, 1 have a talent for
creating pieces of art. I have al
ready completed my Ciit master
piece. This ceramic object stands
as a monument' to extended ef
fort. A right commendable bit of
sculpture. And I owe it. all to a
dear member of my own house
hold. :" 'X:" ;r 'r r
Exactly . to whom"' I lawe the ,
'discovery ef soy heretofore hid
den talent remains a j mystery.
It - began 'late : the ether after-
aooa whea my wife called . ap i
aad told me, "We've bid aa ac-
cident" A bottle of robbing al !
eohol had been knocked eff Its
perch and brokea a hole clear !
throagh That Thbsg la jtbe bath
room.; Its ralned. 'my ; wife
; said, "aad well have t have a
new oae, tonight.' -
It was , a serious thing to hap
pen to a staid household such as
ours. The sudden' decommission
ing i of That Thing in
the bath-
room was a major loss which few
can fully appreciate. It was hard
to imagine being without. I called
up a plumbing supply house. The
man said a new one vould cost
between $12 and $15. The cost of
Installation would be j $2.50 t an
hour. . .
Could -we get it out tonight?
I asked. 7 ' .' ...
Tfo, the man said. ' Not for
$230 an hour.. -
The plumber would want double
htkne for the swing shift. ! 17
3d I placed an order for the fol
lowing , day and Went on home,
prepared to break the sad news
that we'd have to get along, some
how, without That Thing until
the next day. How did1 if" know a
plumber wouldn't . fiddle" around
all night because We'd taken him
a way. from his bridge .jme?.
The family, including 'Sid the
Pup, followed me into the bath
room. And there It ; wasr .with a
hole in the side about the shape
of Lake Superior.' Three odd
shaped pieces of porcelain 1 were
lying on ' the linoleum.' The faces
around me - were mournful. I
chuckled and said I could fix it
And the faces . brightened as if
I'd pulled a rabbit out of my hat
when we had no more meat points,
. ItTs funny, how you never know
you have a certain' talent until
you're forced by necessity to ex
tend yourself. No doubt of course,
that those with less resourceful
ness than I would have given up
But I went straight down Into the
basement and came up. with a can
of furnace cement and a' putty
knife. The cement was black, but
t what difference: would'that make?
We could give it a coat of white
pain V; couldn't we? If the stuff
would jhold a sawdust burner to
gether, certainly it ought i to hold
three Insignificant little pieces of
porcelain in place.
Painstakingly I smeared the ce
ment and fitted the pieces back in
to their, respective places, tapping
them carefully inside and out with
the handle of the putty knife. It!
was an acceptable job, and except
for the. black lines, which made
( it look like a map of Maine. New
Hampshire and Connecticut, we
said it was as good as new.
Bat something- went j wrong.
The only thing I caa fignre eat
la that the manafaetarers of the
cement forgot --. to taclade the
necessary waterpraoflag i; m 1 e
meat. Which remmds see that
I . mast write and ; call this to
their attention. There Is no rea
son fas the world why their
product couldn't be ased for the
repair of bathroom lastmments.
If they could only add the wa
terpreofug. But the point is, That Thing be
gan: leaking like a rusty bucket.
Then; suddenly yesterday , after
noon Maine, New Hampshire and
Connecticut collapsed and tum
bled out on the., floor. This, hap
pening', when It did, put us in a
distressing predicament. We were
having company from Vancouver,
and ra sure it would have been
difficult to explain' to people from
Vancouver why o u r bathroom
Thing was In such a state of dis
repair. " .;. ; 't
: Knowing- already that" I ' bad , a
talent for sculpture, I hastened
around town until I found a brand
of : cement , whose manufacturers
had been, like myself, sufficiently
resourceful to foresee the need of
all the necessary Ingredients - In
their product. With this I rushed
home, gathered my sculpturing
tools and began the job all over
again.. - -, .-.---7 --'iki
My family looked on. with awe
and respectful silence,- for like
other great artists I am somewhat
temperamental, particularly when
engaged m - creating a master
piece. I am not boasting wnen.j
say, I nave a pair of dexterous
hands. In fact, I am ambidextrous.
I toiled earnestly, giving the most
patient attention to the job of ap-'
plying the cement and- fating the
piece back Into place. After about
three hours, of diligent effort the
job' was suddenly -done. The
ment being the same eolor j as the
porcelain, it would require a cusi
cerning eye" indeed to -detect the
patchwork.
A , And; as " I said,, the" object
stands a-- lestlmoay-of ;.-any 1
wewty discovered talent. We r
talked about It, and wondered
If our coin-any frtir Vahtoa-"'
ver would notice It. Cat appar'

FUNERALS FOX AGED
'To the Editor: ' i ' .
It Is high ( time that the stale
' of Oregon or the federal govern

decent burial when ' they ' die.
Uncle Sam pays $100 toward the
funeral expenses of every bon.

the cost of I the funeral in the
case of workers who meet with.,
an "accidental death. In contrast,
with this, the old-age pensioner,
who has no iriends or relatives,
who are willing and able to de
fray such expenses, has nothing
to look forward to except burial
by the county in a pauper's
grave in the Potter's field. Jn

is limited to $28. The charge for
