For one whole week, Lucan- ites have, not only enjoyed free dialing to friends in Lonclon,I1- derten and Exeter but have bad many friends call them, but there is always a t‘flyfor every ointment. Many London places of busi- ness have also taken advantage of free dialing to solicit busi, ness and Lucan has been flooded with calls to take out insurance, purchase books and magazines. Many busy housewives have been frustrated to come down stairs to answer such calls. Owing to the Explorers' Ex- pedition in the UC schoolroom, Monday evening, the CGIT meeting was held in the Anglican. Parish Hall. Plans for visiting Centralia RCAF Dec. 5, were finalized with girls to meet at the UC at 9:45 a.m. The tour of coca-cola and McCormick& had to be post- poned as neither firm conduct tours at this time of the year. Mrs. Chas. Haskett made, and donated a quilt to the CGIT to sell at the bazaar, the pro- ceeds to go to the stained glass window project. Owing to exams, there will be no meeting until Dec. 8, three weeks hence. Bobby Cochrane led in the worship service. Mrs. William Cochrane assisted in the craft period when each girl made from a plastic bottle a curler or beach bag. Like most teachers, I don't know what I'd do without my weekends. All right.' know. Tim hours are great, there are lots of holidays, and you're sure of your pay at the end of the month. But believe it or not, Ws an exhausting game. Baby-sitters have their moments of frenzy. Policemen sometimes get ul- cers. To those two jobs, add the task of stuffing information dai- ly into about 150 kids, most of whom can take it or leave it, and you can understand why teachers totter towards 4 p.m. Friday like camels lurching to that first oasis on the far side of the Gobi desert. Every Friday, I come home, collapse, and Wave feebly to- wards the decanter of Teachers' Highland Cream, a medicinal restorative made in Scotland for the sole purpose of salvag- Ing sagging teachers. As X lie there, gradually re- covering, I allow myself to luxuriate in the idea of 48 hours without classes. "This week- end," I muse, "I'm going to get caught up, I'm going to mark all those essays,prepare those five tests, get my lessons ready for a whole week ahead.

Perhaps a verbatim report of the last lost weekend will give you an idea of the difference between dream and reality. Friday evening, I'd just begun to regain my joie de vivre, with aid of the Highland Cream and a good dinner, when a colleague called. He wanted to discuss an academic problem: some kids had tried to set fire to his car on Hallowe'en, It turned out that he was sag- ging a bit, too, and that he had a predilection for the Cream. A bad combination. I got to bed at 2;30 in the a.m. Oh, well, I could sleep Saturday morning. Essays would not be marked, but after all, a fella has to live a little. At '7:30 a.m., in the dark al- ready, my wife was shaking me. She had the stomach flu. I had to drive the kids to the city, 200 miles round trip, for their mu- sic lesson.

If you have to stop in a hurry, pump your brakes, don't lam them and put your car into a skid. (Power brakes need gentle pumping.) Consumers in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces who have purchased KLIK since September 14th and who are in possession of any tins bearing these codes are asked to immediately return them to their retailers for replace- ment or refund. Tins embossed with EST 7A, EST 7B, or EST 7D are not involved as they were produced at other plants and are in no way affected. The recall of these tins is a precautionary measure which has been taken because spice units, supplied to the Com- pany and used in the production of KLIK Luncheon Meat at one plant, contained less than the normal quantities of one of the curing ingredients. The effect of a smaller than normal quantity of this curing ingredient has not been clearly established by food scientists. KLIK is cooked during the canning process, however, curing ingredients are added in the spice mixture to assure its long-term keeping qualities. The best scientific opinion indicates that the risk of impaired keeping qualities is small, but may exist. There- fore, there is a small chance that the product could deterio- rate and might then cause serious illness if eaten. All KLIK presently on retailers' shelves has been care- fully checked by company employees to ensure that it is not from the lots in question. RETAILERS —Your cooperation in accepting return of this product is requested. A Company representative will be contacting you. CANADA PACKERS -LIMITED 2100 Si. C4AIR AVE.
