Summer floats by, as aimless
as a cloud. Nothing seems to get
done, but we seem to be doing
something all the time. Last
week was no exception.
It's nice to live like rich
people once in a while, be it ever
so temporary. We used to do it
once a year when I was in the
newspaper business. We'd go to a
convention in some exotic place,
stay in a posh hotel, hobnob
with such exalted people as
public relations men, and in-
dulge in such sybaritic delights
as breakfast in bed.
It's hard to come down from
filet mignon and baked alaska to
hamburg and butter tarts, but
we always felt it was worth it,
no matter how long it took to
pay back the money we'd
borrowed to make like million-
aires.
This is against the puritan
ethic, but I've never regretted it.
I've seen too many people
postponing a real spree of a
holiday trip because they've
needed a new lawnmower, or
had just bought a new Vacuum
cleaner, or simply had to trade
in their car. And then, when
everything was finally right for
the trip, Dad discovered, to his
horror, that he had to have all

Mr. and -Mrs. James Jackson
and Miss Margaret Jackson spent
a couple of days last week as
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Kai at Point Farm.
We are sorry to report that
Mr. Robert Phillips was taken by
ambulance early Monday
morning- to Goderich Hospital.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
Now it's back to
his teeth out, Or Mother sudden-
ly needs a hysterectomy. And
the trip fades into never-never
land, Sad.
Never take my advice about
anything, but 'Gather ye rose-
buds while ye may' isn't a bad
idea. Don't wait until you're too
old and stupid and tripped with
arthritis to stoop for a rosebud.
And besides, there aren't that
many rosebuds left.
Last week we had a couple of
days of gathering rosebuds. As
usual, it was balm for that
lacerated secret little corner in
most of us that knows we could
have been wealthy and success-
ful and rich if we'd just had a
break.
We spent two days at a
beautiful lodge in Ontario's
Haliburton Highlands, just
south of Algonquin Park. It's
incredible country: rock, woods,
and lakes everywhere.
The lodge was everything it
should be for one of these
escapades. Handsome lounges,
huge stone fireplace, magnificent
chandeliers, courteous and unob-
• trusive help, and a sweet, pretty
and even competent waitress for
'our own table. And lots of rich
people around. That's essential,
It wasn't a swinging place. No

bar, no entertainment, and,
thank heaven, no organized
games and such, Just a place to
lie around, swim or fish or play
horse-shoes or walk through the
woods, eat like a hog, and
wonder what the poor people
are doing.
We had a cottage overlooking
the lake, with a big fireplace and
everything else but the kitchen
sink, an item most women are
quite happy to be without on a
vacation. Privacy, peace and
luxury, the perquisites of the
rich.
First night at dinner, met an
old friend from College. Was
rather aghast when he told me
he'd recently married Susan Kee,
daughter of another old College
friend. He's more than twice her
age., "Dirty old man",I thought.
Was even more conused when
he introduced his 8-year-old son.
Finally remembered he'd gone
into the ministry. What he
meant was that he'd performed
the marriage ceremony,
Next day, into town for a
seminar on Creative Writing at
the Haliburton School of Fine
Arts, Naturally, the school was
overlooking a lake. There's hard-
ly anything else you can over-
look there.

Everything I know about
Creative Writing might fill the
back of a business card, but had
an enjoyable afternoon with
'about fifteen ladies ranging from
about nineteen to - well, you
know. They didn't get much out
of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed
boasting, telling them how I
handle my wife when I call her
the Old Battleaxe, and some of
the hazards and rewards of
writing a weekly column. (By
the way, girls, I've thrown out
two perfectly good paragraphs
from this column.)
After the seminar, a visit to
the Haliburton Echo, a warm
welcome come from editor Ber-
keley Fair, his wife, and his son
Creighton, arid a whiff of print-
er's ink.
Back to the lodge for a swim,
dinner, canoe jaunt, and a long
lively evening by the fireplace
with friends and some pretty
unusual conversation.
Hard to climb into the
battle-scarred '67 Dodge and hit
the -long trail home. Depressing
to get there and make your own
hot dog for dinner. Horrible to
see that pile of bills and hear the
phone ringing. But worth it.

HOW MUCH PAINT
IS ENOUGH? '
What quantity of paint is
necessary to cover the exterior
of your wood home? Just
remember these easy rules of
thumb, says the Canadian Paint
Manufacturers Association.
Finish coats of house paint will
normally cover about 500 square
feet of surface per gallon. Primer
will generally cover about 450
square feet per gallon. But
remember - always check your
paint can label for an exact
estimate of coverage for the
paint selected.
