this week with our own ideas upon municipal

AS NEWSPAPER people we are particularly
pleased when any of our readers take time in
their busy 20th Century whirl of living to sit
down and write us a letter. After all, if this
particular hundred years belongs to Canada,
then Canadians must soon get very busy for the
time is more than half spent. This explains
and justifies the speed at which most folk ap-

in the roar of the lawnmower, the
howling of kids with scraped
knees.
June is just another month for
mothers of young children. Only
by brute force can they keep
them out of any handy body of
water, from a puddle to a pond.
Only by using the wiles of a
witch-doctor can they coax them
into the house in time for bed.
And it practically takes an injec-
tion of morphine to get the little
wretches to sleep in the long,
bright June evenings, with the
birds bellowing outside, and the
tough kids, who are allowed to
stay out, playing Run Sheep, Run,
or whatever they play nowadays,
under the window.
And what about father? Home
after a hard, hot day, he is just
reaching for a cool one, when the
Battleaxe hands him a bologna
sandwich, with the joysome tid-
ings that: "We haven't time for
dinner tonight. There's Too Much
To Be Done".
She ticks them off. The lawn
needs cutting, it's a disgrace and
I'm ashamed for people to know I
live here . The clothes-line is
broken and when you fix it you
can put out the washing I had
to do all over again when it broke.
The storm windows have to come
off we can't breathe upstairs.
Those kids are driving me crazy,
they won't do a thing I tell them
and I want you to give them a
good talking-to.
So he gives a nostalgic look at
his fishing rod or golf clubs, and
buckles on the harness. While he
mows the lawn, he wonders how
they're going to meet the car pay-
ment, While he's searching the
neighbour's backyards for the kids,
he determines to send them all
away to a cottage or somewhere
for a month, if he has to mort-
gage the house again. While he's
fixing the clothes-line, his hands
unconsciously fashion a hangman's
knot.
To them that bath is given, To
young lovers, June brings a beau-
tiful sadness, a thrilling promise.
To children, it brings the wond-
rous certainty that there are six or
eight months of summer ahead.
To old people, it brings warmth
and a new gleam in the eye, But
to the ordinary dray-horse in
double harness, of either sex, it's
just, another month, something to
be got through by dint of sheer
heroism.

June, like September, is one of
the most delightful months: in thes
fair Canada of DIMS. It's the most
feminine month of the year, in
'that it's utterly unpredictalee
You don't know whether June
is going to give you an icy stare
that will shrivel your tomato
plants, burst into a torrent of
tears and batter down your tulips,
or hang such a hot kiss on you
that your hay won't grow.
It is the month of June brides
and June-bugs. Both fly about in
a tremendous' tizzy, getting en
everybody's hair and demanding a
lot of attention. Eventually, the
June brides "get knotted and the
June-bugs get swated to the
mutual satisfaction of almost ev-
erybody.
It is the month in which gard-
eners, golfers and grandmothers
verge on hysteria. The gardeners
are driven to the brink by dogs,
the golfers by hooks and slices,
and the grandmothers by letters
from their daughters, saying they-
ll coming, with their five kids,
to spend the summer.
For young people, graduating
from high school, university, or
nursing school, it is a month of
ineffable sadness and great exhil-
aration, all mixed together. They
are leaving friends and a way of
life they'll always cherish, and it
hurts. But just ahead lies the
beautiful coast of life with a cap-
ital L. They are eager to open
their new sails and bear for it,
knowing but not caring that there
are shoals and reefs and sandbars
ahead.
For kids, Joule is sheer heaven,
all wrapped up in bare feet on
green grass, cool water on hot lit-
tle hides, long dusky evenings of
throbbing excitement, and the del-
icious knowledge that school is
closing soon.
For the elderly, too, June has
something special. The bitter winds
of spring are gone, and there is
the triumphant knowledge that
another winter has been bested.
There is sitting in the sun, and
watching the girls in their shorts
and the men working on the st-
reets, for the old gentlemen. Th-
ere's the pleasure of nursing grow-
ing things, the leisurely natter
over the back fence, the fierce joy
of throwing clods at marauding
dogs, for the old ladies.
You'll notice I don't mention
young and middle-aged married
people, For them, June may sing
a siren song, but it's drowned out

When borrowing is sound business pract,
