iiome-loving DOG
dislikes Holiday
Summer holidays at- Turkey Point
are a thing of the past forever for
Sandy, Harold Wann’s collie dog, Last
year they took him with them on
holidays but he slipped away and
came the more than 30 miles distance
buck home to Norwich,
This year they took him again and
attempted to keep him tethered up.
All went well until a thunderstorm
came up. Then Sandy did a Houdini,
untied, or some way got his tether
loose and headed for home. He was on
the verandah wagging a greeting
when the family got there.

WALL—In Wingham General Hospi
tal, on Thursday, to Mr. and Mrs;
Ira Wall, of East Wawanosh; a
daughter.
|Dawson Craig, Harvey and Brian
Rintoul are victims oft the mumps this
week.
They say that all good things come
to those that wait, and at last, the
time has come to pack up all the nec
essary items, (and many that are not
too necessary) and head out of town
for a couple of weeks vacation. Like
many folks have already found, the
best place for a rest, if you are in
need of such a thing, is right at home
in the back yard, but then a change
is always as good as a rest and the
new surroundings, the new faces and
the different climate, all serve to re
lax your nerves and put you back into
the old spirit again. «
Well, if all things come to those
who wait, then we have waited our
quota, for this is holiday time for the
family, and we have gathered all the
essentials and unessentials, packed up
everything but* the home furniture,
and are headed for the" holiday spot
selected this year by the committee
in charge of sucii selections. The extra
bedding, extra clothing, extra grocer
ies, extra dog biscuits for the dog and
the extra reading materials that we
will probably never get around to,
have all been packed away into boxes
that we will probably never locate un
til after we get home again. Everyone
is in a dither. The children are giddy,
the dogs run around the house, par
ents fall over boxes of packed items,
and lists are checked and rechecked.
At the last minute someone remem
bers that there are no towels packed
and so away we go to the linen closet
to lay up a stock of towels. A pretty
fix we would be in, going to the lake
without towels. So, we check all the
sun tan lotion, kleenex, aspirins, pois
on ivy cures, and other items.
Some folks like to travel, some folks
like to sit and read, others like to
change jobs, on their vacations. Some
play golf, some lounge on the beach,
some folks hike, and others pore over
the latest reading materials. It all de
pends on what you need best to make
you relax, for after all that is the
main reason why we take holidays.
Last year, we took a long motor trip,
and while it was a very exhilarating
experience and I wouldn’t have missed|^ide, spent Wednesday at the home
it for the world, at the same time oneT _'
could never call motoring on today’s
crowded highways a holiday. By the
time you drive a car for two or three
hundred miles ovei- the highways,
with everyone trying to get to a given
point before his neighbor, you are a
bundle of nerves and frustration.
There are some* beautiful places in
this country of ours, some beautiful
scenery, parks and lakes. But if a real
rest you are looking for, make sure
that you don’t drive all the time,
rather that you light in one place
for at least a few days, and
When the vacation is over,
back with more chaff from
Fanning Mill, providing of
that the holiday is as restful as we
expect it to be.
