Dispensed by Smiley THOSE DARLING VALUES } Lions host zone rally Lucan With a splash Approve contract for school addition There was only a small at- tendance at the Lions Club meeting in the Anglican Church basement last Monday evening, Mr. Mike Bobor won the door prize. During the business, 825 was voted to the Salvation Army. There was some discussion on the Lions Club Rally to be held at the Community Centre April 21, at which time the zone chairman will be chosen.

Construction will JUNIOR AUCTION Nancy Weller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Weller, was an ardent fan of 'Jr. Auction", sponsored by Toastmaster Bread and held at CFPL-TV. The Shamrock Restaurant staff and other friends provided her with Toastmaster "m o n e y", which she saved, until she could buy the animal of her choice.

A chap from a paint company phoned the other day and asked me to write an article on house- painting. At first I was a little nonplused, as I have ne v er painted a house in my life. Then I remembered the ham. One time the hog farmers asked me to write an article about pigs. I agreed. My wife snorted, "What do you know about pigs?" "Exactly," I retorted. I sat down and wrote an account of the life and times of a hog that for sheer ignorance of the sub- ject has never been surpassed. But the hog farmers liked it. And that Christmas I received a twelve-pound ham from a pack- ing company, as a gift. While I was chatting with this paint man on the phone, my mind began to race along these lines. "If a little feature on hogs produced a beautiful ham, sure- ly a few hundred words on house-painting would be good for a house. Or at least some paint. And I have to paint the trim on my house this spring. So. . . ." While it is a fact that there isn't likely a man in North America who has spent more time not painting houses than I, it is not quite true that I have never painted a house. At the same time, it is not quite true that I have painted a house. Let me explain. One summer, in a period of acute mental depression, I spent my entire vacation trying to paint the trim on the ancient, sagging heap of first and second mortgages we'd just bought. It was during the first nau- seating bloom of the do-it-your- begin immediately. The expect- ed completion date is Sept. 1. The addition will increase the number of classrooms to eight. The official opening of the school was Sept. 20, 1962, with the Most Rev. John C. Cody DD, LLD, Bishop of London as the guest speaker. At that time only two of the three class- rooms were in use, but with the closing of St. Mary's school and an increase of children from London Township it was necessary to add two more classrooms last Sept. making a total of five and now it has been found necessary to open three more rooms.

Mr. & Mrs. Harvey Hod- gins attended the London Col- lege of Bible and Missions' graduation banquet, held re- cently at H. B. Beal Secondary School. Among the graduating students, was the latter's cous- in, Miss Arla Shauf of Caron- port, Sask. self sickness. The whole coun- try was full of sweating, curs- ing, frustrated men struggling to assemble everything from golf carts to 50-foot yachts from their "handy home kits." I was hooked, too. I decided to paint the house myself. Achieve personal satisfaction; bask in my wife's praise; save all that money. There didn't seem tobe much to it. "A few gallons of paint and you won't know the old place. Probably double its val- ue." I rented a ladder, bought brushes, paint, and turps, as we old house-painters call it. The house trim was about 60 feet off the ground. I climbed up to have a look at the old paint. Half an hour later, my wife came out to call the kids and found me there, clinging with both arms and both legs to the top of the ladder, white as chalk, moaning piteously. She had to call the fire department to get me down. I lowered my sights and de- cided that, for that year, it would be enough to paint the window frames on the ground floor. First, I had to scrape, where it was blistered and cracked and peeled. Did you ever try to scrape flint? In hell? It was the hottest summer in 30 years. I'd scrape for half an hour, clear a patch four inches by four, then climb down, dripping, and go in and fetch a cold beer. As I emerged, instantaneously, three or four neighbors would emerge from hiding behind their hedges and join me, tongues hanging out. To cut a long story short, I got two and a half windows done that year. It cost me about$200 for dried-out brushes, spilled paint, ruined clothing, and all that beer. The next summer, I sensibly hired a couple of painters. They did a bang-up job and didn't even charge extra for all that paint they put on the brick- work, the window-panes, the lawn, the vines, and the chil- dren. But the whole business gave me a lasting interest in house- painting, and I formed a few maxims I'm happy to pass along to the novice. First of all, you must have the proper equipment for house- painting. Two basic items are a house and some paint. A third thing that makes the job bear- able is a wife who likes painting. Oh, yes, one more thing. You should have a swimming pool. Drain the water and fill the pool with turpentine. You'll need it, every drop. Happy house-paint- ing. It was announced Friday that Miss Angela Armitt of London had been appointed first woman director of the summer school and extension department of the University of Western Ontario which she joined 18 years ago and of which she has been as- sociate director for some years. • miss Armitt is well known in Lucan, not only as Mrs. Clar- ence Haskett's sister but be- cause of the many times she was a guest speaker or an MC at meetings here. Following her graduation, she taught high school at Hanover and Chatham and during the Second World War, shd was the first woman in Canada to be a director of educational ser- vice for the Royal Canadian Le- gion.
