Londesboro is on the road map,
It has two garages for car mishaps,
Two implement dealers, and painters to spare,
A seed plant, and a furnace repair.
A town hall for the council to meet,
A post office just up the street,
A feed mill with all kinds of chop,
A church, and two stores to shop,
On highway four and county road 10,
Inhabited by children, women and men.
Some folks live alone, with neighbours so grand,
There are carpenters, paper hangers also a band,
We have new homes, old homes, trailer homes,
Cats and horses, and doggies and bones,
Maple, willow, cedar trees a score,
The Central Public School we all adore.
Ball team, hockey team,
And a cold babbling stream.
Potatoes, carrots, beets and all,
Are put in our basements in the fall.
The winters are cold with drifting snow,
In summer the flowers in profusion grow.
There is a bank in our town, also a clerk,
A cemetery where we lay our deceased in the earth,
A grader for summer roads, a snowplough for snow,
Contractors, truck drivers, also a backhoe.
School buses and drivers are here in our town,
Piano teachers and their pupils of great renown.
Post-hole diggers, electricians, hairdressers are here,
Our minister lives in this town all year.
Come in sometime, and see how we fare,
With goodwill, good living, and good folk who care.

Ontario is nowputting together
the biggest municipal enumeration
in its history.
Without you it won't be right.
This is an election year
for municipal councils, school
boards and other local bodies
in most of Ontario. An early
step in these elections is the
documenting of voters' lists.
To assemble voters' lists we
need to make an enumeration.
This is done by the Province
for each municipality.
Hut our municipal enu-
meration involves more than
just voters' lists: It helps determine the division of
education property taxes between the public and
Separate school systems. It lets the Province more
fairly distribute grants to local governments to
help reduce municipal tax bills. And it also helps
provide us with an accurate population count.
Collecting nearly 8 million names and ad,
dresses, as you Can imagine, is a big job. The
Province is employing 8,000
people to visit every residence
in Ontario. When the govern-
ment representative knocks
on your door, the procedure
is simple. The enumeration
notice is pre-printed by com-
puter with the names of every-
one currently on record in
your household. If you agree
that the information is correct
and complete, you simply sign
the notice. If there are changes, such as an addition
to the family, corrections are made on the spot,
verified and signed by you or any other adult in
your household. If you are not home the notice is
left, together with simple instructions. You mail
it, postage free, only if there are changes.
You will be counted sometime between
September 5th and 18th.
The Municipal Enumeration: September 548.
Without you it won't be right.

A simple brass plaque was
unveiled in Wesley-Willis
United Church Sunday morning
to the memory of the late Frank
Fingland, Huron County Judge
from 1954 until his retirement,
due to ill health, in May, 1964.
Rev, Dr. A. J. Mowatt
conducted the brief ceremony,
reading the inscription: "To the
Glory of God and in Loving
Memory of Judge Frank
Fingland who departed this life,
December 4, 1966". The plaque
was presented by Mrs. Fingland
and family.
Later, in his sermon, on the
theme "Rise Up, 0 Men of
God", Dr. Mowatt paid fitting
tribute to Mr.' Fingland as one
of the, great leaders in church
and community.
Judge Fingland was born in
Hullett Township, January 30,
1894, was severely wounded in
World War 1 and practised law
in Clinton from 1930 until his
appointment to the Bench.
Not a sign he was even alive.
"How be," I told my son, "I'd
go sleep in your bed and you can
sleep here with daddy?"
Still no attention from my
husband.
"No," came the quick reply.
"I want to sleep with you."
Not a muscle rippled in the
body beside me,
"I remember when I wanted
to sleep with my mother," I
began. "That isn't so unusual. It
is really only for one night and
maybe we should ...."
Without a word, my husband
got 'up and as though defeated;
from the beginning, he blade thet
trek to our son's bedroom. I '
heard the bed squeak as he slid
into it.
"Oh dear," I thought as I
turned out the light and
prepared for sleep with my
baby.
In less time than it takes to
tell you, my son had had his fill
of sleeping with mommy.
Whatever grand slumbering
dreams he'd had were gone, and
he was crawling out of my bed.
"I'm not sleepy," he
explained. "I'm going
downstairs to get some milk.
"Aren't you going to sleep
with mommy?" I asked, afraid
to hear his answer.
"Nope," he answered. "I'm
going to sleep in my own bed."
"Honey," I called to my
husband, in my sweetest voice.
"Don't get too comfortable. You
can't sleep there. You'll have to
come back here."
The muttering from the other
end of the house grew to a
rumble and the rumble became
a roar.
"If you think I'm going to
spend the night trailing back
and forth between beds in my
own house, you're mistaken," he
shouted. "Make up your mind
where you want me to sleep will
you?"
As I tucked our little son into
his own bed, he grinned at me.
"This is the best bed. That's
why dad wanted to stay in here
isn't it?"
How do you explain
something like that to a six-
year-old?
Lyons hold reunion
Being the baby in a family is
quite a responsibility for a small
child. It takes considerable time
and patience on the, part of a
child to make his mother and
father feel saddled with a
clinging, defenceless tot and at
the same time, lead one's own
life,
Our youngest child has
learned the fine art of being
babied without being controlled.
At six years. old, he's a wise
young man with the wisdom of a
sage when it comes to handling
his parents.
For the bulk of the day, our
49166Y is self-sufficient: He makes
his own peanut butter and jam
;sandwiches, spills his own milk,
bathes himself, entertains
himself, crosses the street by
himself, shops by himself.
But for an hour or so each
day, he devotes his time to us -
his doting parents. He works at
making us feel wanted and
needed - and totally frustrated,
He seems to know that parents
would die without that kind of
aggravation.
Take last evening for an
example. Everyone was retiring
for the night. I had settled into
bed with a good book. My
husband was just relaxing at my
side, content with the world and
every .king in it.
Then our youngest appeared
on the scene. He had other ideas
for the night ahead and it
wasn't long before he let us
know his plans.
With large, woeful eyes that
looked as though big tears
would spill out any second, our
youngest edged onto the bed and
announced his pitful plight.
"I want to sleep with you,
mommy,"
My husband didn't stir. In
shock, perhaps.
With the determination of a
Sherman tank, our son pushed
his way into the bed beside me
and began his campaign.
"I never get to sleep with you,
mommy," he wailed. "Daddy's
always here. Why can't he sleep
in my bed and I'll sleep here
with you?"
My husband still did not
move or open his eyes. I waited.
