the dear readers who suffer

two lively .Ws PUt of school

ative baby make my, life a con
stant bedlam at the best of
times/ But this, is summer, and
added' to my regular schedule
are the other headaches like
plucking juicy raspberries from
the long, hot, mosquito-infesited
bushes in our garden, disposing
of mounds of green land yellow
b^ans from (toe same prosperous
plot, pitting choice cherries
from, the orchard of a generous
neighbour and keeping .ahead of
the pea production out back of
toe house.
That’s only the basis, for- my
attack of warm weather Weari
ness, ' ..
Why oh why were picnics in
vented?. Nice for children and
men, picnic^ are definitely hpt
for lazy women like myself who
must chase ■ about a steaming
kitchen saucing salads, devilling
eggs, icing drinks, stuffing
sandwiches, dropping cookies,
layering cakes, filling pies and
goodness knows what else.
Generally this domestic work
out zis followed by a hectic
drive to a crowded, noisy park

Soon in Londesboro a new

The roomy classrooms, and

A big spacious gym with lights

Now all of these memories are

The good and bad, and every

This old school is dosing' its

With all of its memorises and
fun of toe past.’’

All About Dimples
—On Golf Balls
Those dimples in yot^. golf
ball have great aerodynamic
implicaltiioris. A perfectly smooth
ball would dip and wobble, in
flight like a swallow chasing
insects. The 336 shallow inden
tations not only keep the ball
on course, but, also add dis
tance. Tests have shown that a
ball with dimples ten thous
andths of an inch deep will
carry almost twice as far as a
ball with dimples only two
thousandths of an inch dbep.
