They will be making good money, but they won't have any credit, and you have. So they'll use yours," "But when do I start paying off my mortgage on the house and putting by for my old age?" I whimpered. "Don't worry about that", he twinkled, "You Gan always re- finance your mortgage at 18 percent interest. And I wouldn't worry about your old age. By the time you've paid to have your grandchildren's te eth straightened and" (here he po- sitively cackled) "paid for their first ten years of dancing and skating and music lessons, you won't have any old age left." All I could do was quote from Hamlet, "For this relief much thanks," and go quietly off to check my insurance policies, and look for my wife's bottle of sleeping pills. Face the facts!! parents want to go on a skiing vacation or a jaunt to Mexico. In despair, I sought out aneld friend who has been through it all with three sons and a daugha ter. Surely he'd have some words of comfort. He did. "Smiley, old boy," he chor- tled, there's nothing to it. But you've forgotten a few items. First of all, your son gets mar- ried in third year college and you subsidize them and the baby, until he graduates. Then there's your daughter's wed- ding. Knowing your wife, I fi- gure that will cost you one cool grand. Then your son, and your son-in-law, will take turns hit- ting you up for a couple of thou- sand for down payment on a house or furniture or a second car, or something.

AMAZING VOLKSWAGEN ONLY $1760 • Marie Robinson, six-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Robinson of London and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Hodgins of RR 1 Lucan, was hit by a car, driven by Mrs. Margaret Wood of Lon- don, Thursday. Marie is a Grade 1 pupil of Roosevelt school and had just left the school, when hit. She was taken by the Thames Val- ley Ambulance to Victoria Hos- pital suffering from skull frac- ture, a fractured left wrist and facial laceration. Her condition is reported satisfactory. If I had it to do over again, I'd raise my family differently. I'd let the kids grow up in happy ig- norance of the finer things of life. That's exactly what most of my present family would have preferred anyway, but the Old Girl wasn't having any of it. And I, like all docile North American fathers, swallowed all that jazz about "personality fulfillment" and '4 developing natural talent" and "creative interests." I've spent enough on music lessons, for example, for those kids to buy myself a brand new Cadillac, or pay off half the mortgage on my house. This month, my son Hugh is giving two piano recitals before trying his music exam, the cul- mination of ten years of lessons. It's just about the culmination of the old man's credit in these parts, too. All it involves is the rental of two halls, the printing of two sets of invitations and District reeves hold card game A euchre for reeves and their wives was held in Strathmere Lodge, Strathroy, last Wednes- day night. Among those attending were Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Hearn of Lucan, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Hodgins, RR 1 Lucan and Mrs. George Phillips of Ailsa Craig. (Mr. Phillips was sick and un- able to attend). Mrs. Hodgins won the ladies' high score prize, a beautiful pair of pillow cases. programs, and the purchase of new suits and dresses for the whole family. Even at that, I could fight my way out of the morass of bills and face the future, shaken but game, if this were the end of the affair. But I learned, in a short but devastating exchange with my wife, that it's only the begin- ning. "Well", I beamed, "at least it'll be nice not to have to pay for lessons next year, what with all the expense of sending him to college." "Don't be silly!" she snap- ped. "Of course he's going to go on with his music next year. He's scarcely begun." And I reeled out of the room, speechless. I could see the fu- ture: old dad pumping the tread- mill for the next ten years in a welter of music lessons at $13 a rattle and university fees at $1500 a year. You see, just as Hugh gets out of college, his sis- ter, who also takes piano les- sons at the same tariff, will be ready to begin. It isn't fair, somehow. In ten years I'll be a broken, beaten old man, ready for the bone- yard, just when I should be entering those golden years you see in the insurance ads: trips to Europe, curling, golf, fish- ing. And what will I get out of it all? Likely nothing but a gaggle of grandchildren, who will be dumped with us every time their TiSMS1112NEMMEMESSISESEMER°1 Lucan Personals iMeiROMISMIIMiiiiffErMar,,,,--Mirefn=ianammipmeMftwa or $298 down and $49.00 a month Reliable With Economy And Quality :.4. - No Prestone 74 No Hoses P--- Starts in Cold Weather = Goes Through ....= Snow Padded Sun r-E:.- - Visor Windshield Washer .-7.
