At least, that's been my ex- perience, Right now, we're in one of those great "up" periods when everything is coming up roses. For once in a long, long time the children are happy, happy, happy. The combination bet- ween responsibility and irresponsibility is just about right to keep everyone in pod spirits. Son Number 1 has a summer job. It is his first real honest-to- goodness, up-every-day summer job and he appears to be happy in it. Daughter is learning to cope with the housework (she's working for me this summer) and still find time for herself and her friends. Son Number 2 is wrapped up in all the things a seven-year.. old boy can en- joy....and he's truly satisfied with his lot in life. Like most mothers, I sup- pose, it takes a happy family to keep me happy,..,and right now Fm about as happy as it is possible to get in this old world. But all the world is not happy....especially in families where children have chosen to take a different direction than their parents. That's the `generation gap' everyone's talking about not a difference in understanding but a wide difference in basic philosophies., Mom and dad think life should be lived one way son or daughter think it grooves in another direction. It makes me sad when I see kids leaving home before the natural time. You know what I mean. As soon as a kid is 16, he or she is well aware of the law which states that mom and dad no longer have any hold on that child at least not legally. And young people often hold that over parente heads you treat me the way I think I should be treated, or I leave home. I doubt that too many kids really want to leave home especially if they have a good home where the people in #4‘ care about each other and work to make each other happy. But some kids, maybe through no fault of their own, BANK FINANCE RATES e.g. 36 months at 11.78% on new and used models ,.........-\._.)..........,......../..„L„."..„,........,_...----- __A_ USED CAR SPECIALS WE HAVE A NUMBER OF 1973 CHEVS, PONTIACS, CHEVELLES AND LE MANS 2 —1972 CHEVROLET Impala, 2 and 4 door hardtops, fully equipped 2 — 1972 FORD 4 door sedan, power steering and brakes A number of 1972 Chev Biscayne 4 door sedans, . power steering and brakes 1971 FORD Custom 500 4 door sedan 1971 DODGE Montego 2 door hardtop 1971 CHEVROLET Capri 2 door hardtop 1971 PONTIAC Laurentian 2 door hardtop 3 — 1971 CHEVROLET Impala, 4 door hardtops 1971 COUGAR 2 door hardtop 071 PONTIAC Parisienne Brougham, 4 door hardtop 1970 CHEV Impala, 2 door hardtop 4970 FORD Galaxie, 2 door hardtop 1970 METEOR 4 door hardtop 1970 PONTIAC Catalina, 4 door hardtop 1969 MERCURY Marquis 4 door sedan 2 --1969 PONTIAC Parisienne, 4 door hardtop and a 2 door hardtop 20 — 1965 - 1968 Models STATIONWAGONS 1970 PONTIAC stationwagon 1970 POW stationwagon 1970 CHEV stationwagOn 1909 VOED 10 passenger.stationwagon USED DRUCKS — 1970 CIIEV 1 ton pickups, V6 automatic 1970 FORD 1 ton pickup 2 1969 FOPJ Vans, one standard and one automatic yyy~"Aoeyvywk" Brussels Motors SP Service Station Phone 1187.11173 vriarwap••••wftrimonffiam•••A‘d We have 'em all!

PRE-HOLIDAY can't communicate their feelings to mom and dad and mom and dad don't know how tobreak down those awful barriers which sometimes grow up between loved ones, and before you know it the kids have moved out of the house and into the wide, wide world. When this happens, when kids leave home at the age of 16 or 17, I'm always sad. I'm sad because I'm one (sf those people who lost parents at an early age through death and know what it is to be alone. I'm sad because families split up so easily these days, not realizing what heartbreak can haunt you years and years hence because of some silly mistake, I'm sad because home can be such a beautiful, beautiful place when people learn to give and take, when parents learn to respect their kids as much as their kids are expected to respect them. I'm saddest of all because I remember what it is like to be 16 and to feel excited about living and life. I remember how it felt to have all the answers and to be afraid of nothing. I remember the heady feeling of thinking you are grownup and ready for the world and anything it could hand you. And I remember the' hurt of learning that no one has all the answers no matter how old he or she grows. I remember what it was like to find out what fear is....and to long for a mom and dad to turn to. And I remember learning I wasn't grownup...and would never be so grownup that I didn't need parents and loved ones who really cared for me when everyone else had gone about his or her business and forgot- ten I existed. Yes, I'm sad when kids leave home. I'm sad for the kids and I'm sad for the parents who have to live with the guilt which usually creeps in —.guilt which reminds them over and Over that they've failed in some way to do the job they set out to do. I guess that's why I'm happy now, I'm happy because our lit- tle family has survived the grey days so far....and we're knitted w earned to work at hick h hasI A Canadian "Watergate"? So What! Just what is all this fuss about across the border? I haven't really been paying that much attention to the "hearings" but from what I've heard it seems to be a case of one political party using all possible means to throw mud in the eye of the other political party. Isn't that part of the political game as it is currently being played? I've heard it said that the best qualification to getting elected is for the candidate never to have been involved to the point where he has to make a definite stand. And to continue to get re-elected he continues to put on a show but avoids commit- ments. It also helps if he can pass around a few goodies in the way of a few jobs or a grant to a community project. This gets him a good many staunch supporters and a host of prospective friends who feel a favour coming someday even if only the odd bottle of beer. The fact that there just aren't enough "goodies" to go around doesn't seem to enter into the mind of the faithful". However the Republicans made one minor mistake. They bugged the Democratic Party headquarters in order to get "smeer" material. Bugging of course is illegal in such a case but that is a mere detail. The big mistake was the fact that they got caught. As one cynic remarked. "Right" is what you get away with but "Wrong" is when you get caught, The Republicans got caught!' This is the scandal that we read about but isn't the real scan- dal! the fact that there are so many people who are willing to take part in this kind of activity? There is a surprising number of top government people who took part and there must be a huge number who would have helped the thing along. How can we hope for good government when it is apparent that there are so many who will do almost anything to gain position and power? It would seem to me that this affair is a powerful! tribute to George Wallace who apparently couldn't be discredited but had to be stopped by a bullet. Why can't the political parties each put forth a "platform" which they will implement if elected to power and let the people choose on the merit of their policy? Why can't the source of all party funds be made public? Why doesn't the public demand this? Is it just possible that some `of the "hangers-on" might riot get the bit of gravy from time to time? • The Conservatives and Liberals have deplored a third party or .more for as long as I can remember. The situation in Manitoba as reported bn radio makes a farce of 'their arguments. It was reported that in some eight or nine ridings where the N.D.P. candidate was strong only a Conservative or a Liberal would stand for election in hopes that the combined vote onservati,ves and Liberals would be enough to defeat the 'bent. his can only result in a minority government which has been ;pronounced a tragedy by both the old parties. Have the electors become so illogical that they will support this ;kind of double-talk? Maybe there is hope. I was glad to read in the last issue of Farm & Country in which Jim Boynton supported the idea that the way to beat inflation was to encourage employment and increased production. I put forth this idea, which is so familiar to farmers, when Mr. Trudeau first introduced the "tight money" - planned unem- ployment" policy a long time ago in one of my columns. Perhaps if enough people keep at it there may be results. It will only happen when the electors vote for this type of policy, Don't miss our Demonstrator Sale -- 10 top of the line models -- Here's your chance to get a premium quality machine at a substantial saving.
