A chal) from Reint company
Phoned the other day' and aSked
me to white an article on
house-painting. At first I was
a little nonplused, as I have
never painted a house in my
life.
Th en I remembered the hatn,
One time the bog farmers ask-
ed me to write an artieje
about pigs, I agreed.
My wife snorted, "What do
you know Omit Pigs?"'
""Exactly,'" I retorted, I sat,
down and wrote an amount of
the life 'and times of a hog that
for sheer ignorance of the sub-
ject has never been surpassed.
But the hog farmers liked it,
And that Christrnas I received
a twelve-PoUnd ham from a
packing company, as a gift.
While I was ohra.tting with,
this paint man' o•n the Phone,
my mind began to race along
these lines, "If a little feature
on hogs produced a beautiful
ham, , surely a few hundred
'words on house-painting would
be good for a house. Qr 'at
least some paint And I have
to paint the trim on my 'house
this spring. So .
While It is a. fact that there
isn't likely a man in North
America who has spent more
time not painiting 'houses than
I, it is not quite true that
have 'never painted a house. 'At
the same time, it is not quite
true that I have painted a
house.,
Let me explain. One summer,
in a period of acute Mental
depresSion, I spent iny entire
vacation trying to paint the
trim on the ancient, sagging
heap of first and second mort-
gages we'd just bought.
It was during the first nau-
seating bloom, of the do-it-your-
self sickness. The whole coun-
try was full of sweating, curs-
ing, frustrated men struggling
to assemble everything from
golf carts to 50-foot yachts
from their "handy home kits,"
I was hooked, too. I decided
to paint the house myself.
Achieve personal satisfactidn;
bask in my wife's praise; save
all that money.
There didn't seem to be much
to it. "A few gallons of paint
and you won't know the old
place. Probably double its val-
ue." I rented a ladder, bought
bruShes, paint, and turps, as
we old houaeTain , ters call it
The house trim was about 0.
feetea the ground,• pligiload .
.up., to,,have- look at the old
paint. Half an hour later, my
wife came out. to cell the kids
And found Me, there, clinging
with both swims and. both legs
to the top of the ladder, white
as chalk, moaning - piteously,
She had to call the fire ,tle,
pal-Intent to get me down.
I 'lowered my sights .and de-
cided that, for that year, it
would be enough to paint the
window frames on the ground
floor.
First, I had to scrape, where-
it, was blistered and cracked
-and peeled. Did you ever try
to scrape flint? In hell? -It was
the hottest summer in 30 years.
I scrape for half an hour;
clear a patch four inches by
four, then climb down, dripping,
and go in and fetch . a cold
beerr,• As emerged, instantan,
eonsly, three or four neighbors
Would emerge from hiding be-
hind' their hedges and join me,
tongues hanging out.
To cut long story short, I
got two and a half windows
done. that year. It cast me
about $200 for dried-out brush-
es, spilled paint, rained cloth-
Mg, and all that beer.
The next summer, I sensibly
hired a couple of painters. They
did a bang-up job' and didn't
even Oharge extra for all that
paint they put .on the brick-
work, 'the wlindow-panes, the
lawn, the vines, and the child-
ren. • But the whole 'business gave
me a lasting interest in house-
painting, and I formed a few
maxims I'm happy to pass
along to the novice.
First Of: all, you must have
the proper equipment for
house-painting. Two basic items
area 'house and some A
third thing that makes the job
bearable is a -wife who likes
painting.
Oh, yes, one more thing. You
should have a swimming pool.
Drain the water' and fill the
pool with turpentine. .You'll
need it, every drop. Happy

Some suggested that if it were

t seems that the majority of

Some of the most popular
charges in the •Goderich Court
House On Thursdays are drink-.
big under age, illegal possession
of liquor, and supplying beer
and liquor to minors.
It is psychologically apparent
that if the age limit were low-
ered, then perhaps the 'idea
would wear off because you
wouldn't be doing anything
wrong, It might, however, in.-
Stigate drialing among even
younger people. -.
In Europe, there is not nearly
such a great problem. It is, in-
deed, peculiar that a country
like 'Canada, built on guropean
descendants and customs, did •
not adopt the one custorai con-

Sp eaking specifically of
France, if there is an age limit
for possession or dninking
liquor, it is not very well
known.
A bottle of wine is a most
popular commodity on the mar-
ket. Commonly it is bought in
the grocery store; however, for
more exclusive and expensive
assortments you can go to a
wine shop. In the small Villages
Wine is a staple. The -picnic
lunch taken out to the fields
airing a day of farm work,
consists simply of a loaf of
bread, a hunk of cheese, and
a bottle of wine. And everyone
in the faMily drinks the wine.
The pubs' or bistros are fre-
quented by families; therefore,
there is an ingrown respect for
liquor that has been passing
through 'generations for centur-ies..
Perhaps, if . there was a sim-
ilar respect developed in Can-
ada, there would be less
trouble.
Well, since this week closes
with Goad Friday, there is nut
much doing. Don't forget Brow-

We may not always agree
With Charlotte Whitton, nor ad-
mire some of the tactics she
employed While serving 'her long
time term as' Ottawa's mayor
but we must admit she is one of
the most intelligent women thiS
century has produced to grace
the Canadian .scene,
Recently she was addressing
the Women Teachers' Associa-
tion of Ontario and, as usual,
made print by her remarks. She
knew this was fertile soil .in
Which to plant seeds of her op-
inion: Her ideas were not partie-
ularily fresh, only her forceful
approach -to heir subject made
them seem: newly incubated.
One reporter prefaced her quot-
es with "Miss Whitton,' a vol-
uble proponent of women's
rights and responsibilities, said
teachers' 'must offer a strong
counter-action to TV, radio, re-
cords Ych, Yell!) and' comic.
strips' by, appealing to, children
in other fields!' She listed as
another requisite 'teaching • a
child the record of his people
and country'." ,•• Escalating Education
Having watehed two sons
(and now five"grajndchildren)
climb the ladder of learning
from its kindergarten rung to
university, I couldn't agree more
with 'her statements. Even the
littlest mite in our family is
a TV, comic strip addict..
