From the Instant my hus­ band’s violent bellow wafted across the bed to encourage me to rise up and meet my house-wifely obligations, I knew this day would be that rare mixture of snarls, yawns and keep-awake-pinches which al­ ways ends in a horrible quar­ rel with somebody near and dear - usually my husband. Just how I got so tired is really nobody^s business but my own, but because Fye noth- ing else upon which to ex­ pound this week, I’ll relate my tale which women will recog­ nize as ordinary devoted sacrifical . living > normal for every wife and mother. I guess it really began a couple of weeks ago when our youngest child was sick. The poor little guy was thor­ oughly miserable and his only desire was to be held, rocked and loved, Besides getting nauseated in a swaying rock­ er, my husband complained that fathers were useless when It came to soothing fevered brows' - especially those brows which are fevered between midnight and 5:30 in the morning, I really don’t object to trud­ ging wearily between our bed­ room and the nursery for five • nights in a row. What did irri- tate me was tlie regular early, morning call to duty which never varied" more than five minutes in either direction of 7 a.m. And they say women are the weaker sex! The weekend arrived with a picnic supper on the agenda Those of you who read this garble faithfully’ know my the- '• 5CUnton News-Record, Thursday, Auguet 3, WtAugust Food Price Outlook Continued strong beef prices and lower lettuce and tomato prices are forecast for Aug- ust by the Canada Department of Agriculture, Here are th? details of their food outlook * for the month; EGGS; Egg prices have strengthened from a weak pos­ ition and further small increas­ es are like!y as supplies de­ crease seasonally.

MacNaugh- ton,MPP for Huron,announced this week that three additional cor oner s have been appointed by the attorney general’s depart­ ment to serve the county of Huron. They are Dr. Raymond W, Flowers, Clinton, Dr. Paul 1*. Brady, R. R. 2 Seaforth andDr.. G, F. Mills, Goderich, Already serving as coroners for the county are Dr. J. C, Goddard, Hensail; Dr. N. C, Jackson, Goderich; Dr. E, A, McMaster, Grand Bend, Dr. W, A, Crawford, Wingham,and Dr. J. C. McKimJ Lucknow. , Mr. MacNaughton Indicated that the additional appointments will ensure sufficient coronets are available in the county to allow for vacations, illness or an unusual number of inquests in one particular area, pry about picnics. As far as Pm concerned picnic ar e “fun” times for dad and the kids and “run” times for mom, . No magic wand packs the lunch. No good fairy does the setting up chores at the pic­ nic site. And no mysterious nose twitching will clean up the mess afterwards, It’s always mom . , who gets the kick in the pants With the family feeling smug because they’ve gotten mom out of her kitchen for at least one meal, And still the law allows the marriage ceremony to pledge women to obedience! Now, for several nights in a row, my gallant provider has been working late. Pm grate­ ful. The kids are grateful. The grocer’s grateful. But that’s not enough. Someone has to stay up to throw some bread into the toaster or pour hot water on the instant coffee. The same man who is an impervious giant at work all day is a de­ manding weakling in the pri­ vacy of his home. This morning, the baby is well. There is really nothing to prevent me from’ resting in bed until 7:30 or 8 o’clock — except my husband’s mid-Vic- torian notion that he has a wife to find his socks for him and wave goodbye to him. I know my husband feels sure he has me on the ropes.

However, Lady Bad. en-Powell shook her . fist at the sky, saying emphatically, “no, no, no!” The rain stop­ ped. Wearing the uniform of the World Guide Organization, her piercing eyes held a merry twinkle as she circulated among “her girls.” She accomplished . the seemingly impossible by shaking hands with every guide leader at each of the six sub­ camp sites. At an evening campfire cere­ mony, Lady Baden-Powell ad­ dressed the 2,000 assembled Guides and Guiders after the flags of the 12 nations repre­ sented at the camp were re- tired. , She talked about, the influ­ ence of Guides in the world today amid forces of good and evil. She compared the situa­ tion to a. blindfolded Statue of Justice, the scales held aloft. To. one side of the scale,- went ■' '^good and to the otherf’dvii?U “There is a rising tide of evil, but also a rising tide of good and you don’t hear about it. Our movement is throwing its good into spreading tlie best ideals and we come into the world picture because we trans, cend all barriers of all nations, races and faiths,” she said. “I spell the word evil with a “D” in front of it and I spell the word good with only one “O”, she added. After her speech, Lady Baden-Powell lit candles for about a dozen Guides, who in turn lit others until the entire area was literally ablaze with flame, symbolic of tlie spread of the Guide movement through, out the world. Ceremonies were completed with the singing of Taps accom panied by a lone bugle. McGee Pontiac-Buick Ltd., Is On An L.S.D.
