Life can get dull, I suppose, for some .
people but when you work as a writer for
a local newspaper and a reporter for the
affairs of the county school board and the
county council; mother two teenaged child-
ren and one pre-School stick of dynamite;
are wife to a man who loves to putter
around the house and cap never find time
in one evening to finish the project he
has' started; serve as recording secre-
tary for a province-wide church organ-
ization; plus trying to fulfill duties in a
dozen or so other minor capacities, there
is do time for boredom to set in.
Usually, I'm right at the heart of
about eight or ten crises all at the
same time.
Let's take last week as an example.
WO had an all-week' guest at our
house. She was an exchange student from
MIChigan' and a darling child. During
that week we wanted to show our house
guest as much of our town and our
province as possible ... so we planned
a week of special outings. The only pro-
blem was to fit the new schedule Into an
already crowded agenda.
During the week. I had a school board
meeting to attend. As it turned out, a
kind of major story developed from the
meeting which .meant a few more tele-
phone calls and a bit of extra digging
to tie -up all the loose ends. Believe me,
it cats be quite a, perplexing puzzlement
to get the facts. out to the people without
antagoniting the public body about whom
you are Writing. •To say the very least,
there are times when I am thoroughly
lupset about the whole matter until the
story appears in print and I can make an
assessment of the amount pf furor I
have unleashed.
Also during the week, council in the
town where. I live pulled an unreasonable
boner ... something newspaper people
dearly love to find but really dislike to
'incover. It is something similar to the
dog chasing the car and net knowing what
to do with it if he caught it. After a
little chat with my editor, I was appointed
as the staff member to pour a, little coal
on the fire - and naturally, to get burned
if the flames got too high. That can be
disconcerting too..
In the midst of all this professional
pussyfooting, the children were playing
an important role in my life. They pur-
suaded me that I should drive them to
the city for an evening of shopping. So
with my daughter and her USA pal and my
eldest, son and his school chum,we want
off early one evening for the big country.
Just about five miles from home; the-
car blew Up - I mean literally. 'Before
I knew what had happened, 1 had hot
water all over the 'windshield. and an
automobile that was puffing and steam-
ing like Casey's engine. Just reward
for someone who skipped a meeting to
satisfy the wants of her family, I thought.
At the same time, my blessed husband
was carrying out a few renovations at
home just simple things like papering
the livingroom and dining room, refinish-
ing an antique cupboard, painting the
kitchen, building a sundeck Rind putting
the finishing 'touches to the family room.
Everything - and I mean everything -
in the lower part of the house was torn
up beyond recognition. Even this week,
a whole ten days later, our home looks
like a disaster area.
Simulthneously,, I received instruct-
ions in the mail to get the minutes of
the most recent meeting of the church
board into the mail before the mail
strike became a reality. That means a
minimum of one day's hard labor.Where
can I possibly find time this week?
Then our four-year old took sick.
you know, mothers. The kind of ailment
where he ran a low-grade temperature,
whined and coughed continuously and need-
ed a bit of medication to pull' him back
to normal. Naturally he chose to be ill
on a Wednesday, when it is most difficult
to find a, physician in his office. I was
lucky this time.
A gentle reminder came from a
friend ... was I keeping in mind my
responsibility to organize the class rer
union scheduled for this year. Why now,
I asked myself? When I took on the job
it seemed as though the date would never
come., Now here ft is and right at a time
when I am so busy .... •
The other night my husband and I
just dropped everything and went to a
movie. It was the first time in ages
that we had done that. The movie wasn't
bad" but it really wasn't that terrific
either.
My husband echoed my sentiments
exactly.
"At least it is quiethere. Nobody
is bothering us -and' we can't hear the
telephone. Let's do this often."

Opportunity to Aid Lions Park 4

For more than thirty years the Sea-
forth Lions Park has ,been an oasis in
the community that each summer at-
tracts hundreds upon hundreds of lo-
cal people as well as other hundreds of
visitors from a wide area.
They come for. a picnic or to watch
the kids swimming or just to sit and
enjoy the cool breezes. Much of the at-
traction, of course, is the pleasant sett-
ing, the neat tidy green lawns:
All this means maintenance and it is
-co here that the Lions ark committee
runs' ,into trouble. Maintenance costs
continue to 'rise and while use of the.
park also rises, revenue doesn't keep
pace. There is no cost to the people that
use the park apart from an ice cream
cone or a bottle of pop or in the case of
a large picnic, two or three dollars to
rent special tables. Thia• is the way the
Lions Club likes it —' it is part of its
service to the community.
At the same time there is the prob-
lem of maintenance costs and to assist ,
A review of the procedures whereby
groups of students may be taken on
tours was a wise aftermath of the tra-
gic accident, near Parkhill in which two
Exeter school girls recently lost their
lives, .1
Certainly if any action of an admin-
istrative nature could prevent, the re-
occurance of such an event, it should be
taken.
•.• Fortunately the review resisted de-
r-hands that arose in some areas that all
such trips should be banned and result-
ed instead in some praCtical and com-
mon sense guide lines.
Visits by organized groups of stu-
dents to see new sights and enjoy new
experiences can contribute equally as
much or more even to the learning •ex-
perience as equal time spent in the
classroom.
Much of the troubles ,we experience
today flow from a lack of knowledge
of the other viewpoint and ignorance of
.hbw others live. Visits by rural stu-
dents to the city and of city students to,
the country, by Canadians to the States
and of American students to Canada
in meeting these the club is introdUcing
1,ions Park Car Stickers. On sale at $1
each, a sticker, attached to the wind-
shield of a car, indicates the owner has
had a part in the Lions Park program.
The stickers.are good for the entire sea-
son — for one trip or a thousand 'trips
into the park.
Since the average area car visits the
park many dozens of times during the
season the cost is but a penny .or so a
trip. But added together these .pennieS
can count up to an amount that will be
of 'major assistance in meeting day to
day costs. •
The Lions point out. that at no time
has there been an admission charge
the park and, this continues to be the
Case. All , the same.we would hope the
palic would .regard the purchase and
display of .a Lions Park Car, Sticker as
a privilege and an opportunity to help.
The Lions Park means too much to a'
wide community to have its ; continued
maintenance placed in jeopardy by the
lack of revenue.
such as the Negro class which visited
recently'in Colborne ToWnship, can do
much to break down predudice and ig-
norance in a way that no amount of,
reading or' classroom instruction can do.
Here in' Seaforth students through
the years have been fortunate as their
travels took them across Ontario and
into Quebec and neighboring States.
They are better citizens because of
these experiences. The fact that the
SDHS girls: band has been in demand
over a wide area perhaps 'has encour-
agefl,travel on the part of local students.
Any accident that results' in the loss
of life is a tragedy. But to prevent trips
such 'as that in which the Exeter pupils
were taking part will not prevent simi-
lar accidents occuring in other ways
and under, other circumstances.
Reasonable regulations interpreted
in the light of circumstances existing at
each school and properly enforced, can-
not of course, be absolute assurance that
loss of life may not again result. Neith-
er can traffic laws ensure there will be
no more ,traffic fatalities yet we con-
tinue to drive our cars.

I have no sympathy for anyone ex-
cept the public. '
Mail service in this country has gone
baCkwards about 50 years in the past
two or three years.
Oosts have -steadily increased, and
service has steadily decreased, until we
have reached the point where many people
would welcome the return of the pony
express riders who used to carry the mail
through dust and storm and hostile In-
dians.
Because it is a government monop-
oly, it is huge, sprawling and utterly
inefficient in a modern society. No en-
terprising private business would put up
with the increciible sloppiness -of the
present postal ystem. If it did, the
public would soon put it out of business.
It's rather a paradox to note that
the liquor stores, which used to operate
on a five-day week, are now open six
days, plus Friday evenings, while postal
service has been cut to five days and
post offices close earlier. Apparently
there's more profit in booze than public
utilities for government.
And that's what the postal service is,
or should be - a public utility. Wouldn't
we be in a fine state if hydro power, and
the telephone service, and police and fire
protection were lopped off on Friday, to
recommence Monday - or Tuesday, if
there were a Federal holiday?
The only people who have benefited
from Mr. Kieran's new, "efficient"
postal service are the telephone and tele-
graph companies. They're reaping a, har-
vest because big business has practically
,3topped using the mails.
What's the point of posting an im-
portant letter on Wednesday if you know
it probably won't be delivered Friday,
and therefore will be delivered the fol-
lowing Monday or Tuesday if Monday's
a holiday.
-It's bad enough to drive a business-
man to apoplexy, but it's just as frust-
rating, on ,a more personal basis,, to
the ordinary citizen;
Our daughter lives in the city, 90
miles away. She doesn't have a phone.
If we write her on Monday, she 'gets the
letter Thursday or Friday. If there's
something urgent, and we write Wednes-
day, there's no guarantee she'll get, it
that week.
So send her a wire! Suppose she's
not at home. She" doesn't get the telegram
until next day, or the next. If I were to
drop dead, she' might find' out about it
a week after the funeral. It wouldn't
bother me, in that condition, but it might
upset her a bit.
Today I checked at the local post
office . Three mails a day go out.If
I send .a letter to my father-in-law,
120 miles due west, here's the proce-
dure. It goes due east for 35 miles,
then southwest for 200 miles, south-
west then northwest for 120 miles. The
shortest distance between two points' is
a triangle, in post-office math.
There is a good-sized town three
miles away. A letter sent from there
can, and usually does, take two days to
get here. You could walk it in 45 min-
:, v., aiteer,Para.deit,iCalry, 3,,colleague pifeep,r,
Mites' 'lei' tdoliidr itr':(Ernglatidi and She"
get the letter within 36 hours. If this is
efficiency,. I'm all turned around some-
how.
Granted, the, postal workers were
underpaid for years, though witness
that they were. not overworked.- I Was
employed in a post office during the
Christmas rush and nobody was rushing
that' much.
Pay .them a decent wage, give them
decent working conditions, but letts have
some blasted service.; If the P.O. runs
at a loss, pay it. •
The CI3C and the CNR are 'heavily
subsidized, and. there aren't too many
squawks. Millions and millions are thrown
down the drain on such flourishes as the
aircraft carrier Bonaventure, and.
shrugged off.
. Bow about delivering the mail on
time!
