Do you have to ration
hot water on wash days
and bath nights?
a Cascade 40
electric water heater
can change all that.
Cascade 40 has two elements: a 1000-watt lower element for
normal use, and a 3000-watt top element that surges into action
at times of extra heavy use. That's why the Cascade 40 can sup-
ply more hot water than the average family is ever likely to use.
Cascade 40 is flameless, safe and clean. It requires no flue so
it can be installed anywhere. The ten year guarantee on the tank
is your assurance of Cascade 40's reliability.
With a Cascade 40, the cost of abundant hot water is low.

my wife was my daughter. En-

I looked like as we drag-tailed
our way up to the 18th green.
Had to get the first-born out
to his summer job on the boat
by 8 a.m. next morning. But had
no trouble waking up. The ruddy
birds started yacking at 4 a.m.
two paper-boys had a violent
altercation about conflicting
routes under our window at 6,
and the construction gang tear-

place got their mechanical mon-
sters snarling by 7 o'clock.
Wrote column, planted grass,
weeded flowerbeds, soothed
wife, distraught because her son
was leaving. She tried to make
a big symbolic deal out of it.
"Don't you realize this is the
very last day in his entire life
that he'll be at home, one of
us?" (He'll be home two days a
week all summer, but apparent-
ly that doesn't count.)
Next day, took Hugh to his
boat again at 8, put car in body
shop to have door fixed, wran-
gled with insurance company,
helped two high school valedic-
torians with their speeches, told
wife to stop fretting about her
son, told daughter to stop fight-
ing with her mum.
Whole family was going to
boat to see Hugh off on maiden
trip, to his unutterable disgust.

Next person who chuckles at
me, "Huh. Nothing to do now
until school opens In September,
eh?" is going to get a punch
right on the nose, even if it's a
dear, little, old lady who says it.
That's how I feel about things
after three weeks of "holidays"
from teaching school. If the rest
of the summer is anything like
this they'll be putting fresh sod
over me about the middle of
August.
It all began innocently enough,
when two kids stole a taxi while
the driver was having a beer,
rammed it into the side of my
car, across from the tavern and
vanished.
Next day, I had to dash a
round trip to the city of 200
miles with my daughter, for her
final teeth-straightening ap-
pointment. The whole deal cost
me $700. Know her reaction?
She's going to miss her braces.
"Gee, dad, they're a status
symbol. Everybody knows
that."
Next day I cut grass all day
because visitors were coming.
They were old friends. And we
were all a lot older next day,

The new Area School board
for the Lucan Public School
and the Biddulph Central School
has decided to open its first
opportunity class for children
from the two schools next Sep-
tember.
When the Biddulph School
opened September 1963 so many
rural children left the Lucan
school to go to the new school,
that one class room had to be
closed. It is this vacant room,
which will be used for the Op-
portunity Class, with Mrs.Rus-
sell Radcliffe as teacher.
Mrs. Radcliffe, the former
Beth Watson is the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. T. A, Watson of
Lucan. She has five years' ex-
perience, having taught Grades
2 and 3 in Prince Andrew's
School for three years, and
Grade 1, in Aberdeen School,
London, for two years.
