This is being written from a
little place that most of you
know. I visit it quite often,
especially in the summer. It's
called Wit's End. And that's
where I'm at.
Just recovering from a
three-day wedding, The cere-
mony took only about 15 min-
utes: But there were the preli-
minaries. They were bad
enough: the terrifying ordeal
of buying my first new suit in
eight years; getting lost on the
way to the church, in a strange
city.
However, it's not the preli-
minaries of a wedding that
make you arrive at Wit's End.
It's the post-liminaries.
One of .them is kneeling on a
stool beside me, watching as
peek away with those two
worn-down old fingerS, He's six
years old, precocious as they
come, and somebody else's
grandson.
He's not watching because
I'm a dazzling typist, He's
watching to make sure that I
get this done, so that I can
fulfill my obligations to him.
In a burst of post-wedding
euphoria, I promised Mark I'd
take him to the park, to the
beach, to the Indian village, to
the old fort and a few other
local hotspots.
Like all kids, he has the
memory of an elephant and the
persistence of a penguin, wha 4
ever that means, He arrived
about his usual bedtime, so I
thought I could stall him until
tomorrow and then maybe get
him to Watch television,
No dice. He demanded to see
the park, at the very least, So I
took him off to see the park,.
driving his Grammy's
ble. Yes, grandmothers drive
convertibles these days.
Just as we arrived at the
park, a hell of a thunderstorm
bust loose; lightning; great
cracRS of terror; and
rain like Noah's arc.
Mark was a little scared, in a
delighted sort of way. I was
frichtened to death, r couldn't

ing buttons, trying to get the
wipers working,
I pushed what seemed to be
the last button. Nothing hap-
pened. Mark said, "Boy, you're
lucky that's locked. That's the
one that puts the top down." I
nearly fainted. The back seat
was loaded with Grammy's
clothes, wedding gifts and as-
sorted perishables.
Well, we got home safely, as
you have surmised, and it's
now tomorrow. And it's pour-
ing rain. And Mark has asked
me 744 questions. Will the
Indians let us into their vil-
lage? Do they have rugs on the
floor? Can we take away some
bows and arrows? When are
we going? The last one came
about every fourth time.
You know, I've secretly been
looking forward to my grand-
children for a few years, even
though my own kids aren't
married yet. Now, I'm begin-
ning to wonder. Can I cope?
They're so blase, I took Mark
into the Wild Place, That's the
corner of our "garden where
there's a big, hairy bush of
some kind. You can almost get
lost in there, I forced our way
,through the jungle into the
secret heart of the Wild Place,
Mark said, "I don't see
what's so wild about this.
When are we going to the In-
dian village?"
Well, I'm going to fix that
kid, As soon as I finish this

Summer can mean -.sorrow
As a hevvsPaperMan, summer is one
season I. dread.
If you have ever covered a drowning
story you will know what I mean.
If you have ever stood on the shore
with dazed parents while a boat slowly
drags for their son, you will know what I
mean.
it's a. tough job writing an obituary
for one of the boys down the street, or
seeking oufthe facts'of a young couple
whose holiday ended in traaedy.
There is no criterian for drowning
except a careless moment. That's what
1,237 people found out too late according
to last , year's Canadian Red Cross
drowning statistics.
Safety around boats cannot be
emphasized too much. To help curb
fatalities, the Red Cross has suggested a
number of precautions that should be
kept in mind.
Know and operate your craft well.
The rules of the road apply to boats as
well as cars. •A drinking driver is as
dangerous on water as land.
Equip your boat with government
approved safety equipment: life jackets
for each person in the boat; two oars or
paddles; a baler or water pump; red
distress flares; tool kit; fire extinguisher;
an anchor and 50 feet of line.
Mr. D. Cantelon will start out

The old skating rink has been:
converted into a hay-pressing
establishment and a
commodious place it is; the hay
is being exported to England. o rs , 'lf.:"Miss Mary Irwin is confined
to the house with a sprained
ankle, the result of trying to ride
a bicycle.
The .work on the town hall at
Bayfield has been begun at last,
and the New Era has the
satisfaction: of seeing done
what this column had advocated
for the last two or three years.
The hall needed the paint, not
only to improve its appearance
but also to preserve the wood.
