Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1969-06-26, Page 13From My Window r A close call Shirley Keller While it couldn't really be classed as a disaster, our first camping -out weekend of the season was anything but 100 percent successful. We planned the outing for about two or three weeks, Ever since last summer's vacation we had intended to return to Niagara Falls to catch a few more of the attractions we hadn't been able to afford our first time through. Number one son knew about • the trip upcoming although he tried latex to prove he did not. Just about departure time Saturday he informed us we would have to wait until he had finished mowing his customers' lawns for the week. Actually he had simply put off and put off his labors until his working time was all but spent. We had to get tough and remind him to rearrange his schedule so that his jobs would be completed when the family was ready for the next holiday, In the meantime, he would remain behind, do his work and use the remaining hours • to ponder his mistakes. That's why I felt like a heel setting out for Niagara Falls. And that's why I couldn't get my mind on packing the essential camping gear — like the frying pan. That's why we had to retrace our steps after the first few miles to pick up our iron friend. For the next few hours the trip went smoothly. We found a wonderful campsite at the Falls, set up the trailer and arrived in the heart of the tourist area about' mid-afternoon. People from every race milled around in the streets. There was no place to park the car and no place to walk or stand if you could. In desperation we paid 75 cents to park in what we thought was a city -owned lot close to the action. To our dismay we discovered the car park lot was long and narrow with the only available parking slots located far, far down, away from everything. • At last we trudged to the great stone wall that overlooks the massive waterfall. Sightseers stood two and three deep trying to get a glimpse of the ,dried-up American Falls and the surging, tumbling Canadian Falls now flowing heavier than ever before. We decided to take the plunge to the lower levels beneath the falls to get an unobstructed view of the grandeur. As the elevator sunk into the earth with the Keller family aboard I thought about the boy at home mowing the lawns in the blazing sun. Wouldn't it be ironic, I thought, if he was the only member of the clan to survive the weekend? Below the tunnels shook under the weight of the water. The steady roar frightened me and I thought once more of the lad back home who would be c safelyfront of stretched x in the television set by now munching a half loaf of bread and sipping a quart of milk. Was this to be our end? Was that to be our punishment for leaving our offspring alone? "Let's hurry," I shouted to the rest of my straggling crew. "Let's get in there and see what we came to see and then get out again." What keeps that water from crashing through the stone, I found myself asking. It would be just my luck, I thought, that this whole structure would collapse, without warning, right on my stubborn head. Why oh why hadn't I permitted my son to, leave his work just this once so. he Gould be with us now? Who would w care for the poor darling orphan after the rest of his family was buried in' their watery grave far below Niagara Falls? I could hardly believe my own eyes ` ys as the side of the cave opened up to reveal the elevator that would take me to the surface. As I stepped out into the sunshine again I felt as though I had been snatched from the jaws of certain death, Unknown to my teenage son, his mother had been restored to him for yet another seige of training lectures and stiff discipline. How good the world seemed that afternoon in Niagara Falls.

An oil painting of a pian in a raincoat, standing against a Winter background on his Carlisle farm, was presented to Westdale Secondary School in Hamilton last week. The mean is Craig Cooper, the school's principal, who ()nee taught at Clinton District Collegiate Institute and who will. retire this summer after more, than $0 years with the Hamilton Board of Education. David Willis, an art teacher at Westmount Secondary School, painted the portrait. Mr, Willis worked under Mr. Cooper when he was principal at Westmount. Usually such a portrait shows a principal in academic robes, but Mr. Willis wanted to capture a different atmosphere — "an outdoors sort of man, not a -stodgy desk -bound figure." Mr, Cooper posed for the portrait a couple of times and Mr. Willis did the rest of the work from photographs. The $400 painting was presented to the school by the students' council and the 1969 graduating class.
