I suspect Mrs. Pierson had an ulterior motive for filling in on the job ... to get material to write the article for which the newspaper would pay her well. This is the kind of sneaky things writers do . . . I know. However, Mrs. Pierson needn't think she's the only mother who has ever pinch-hit on a paper route. As long as 20 years ago I remember opening the front door one blustery. cold, winter's night and being startled by the sight of our paper boy's morn trudging through snow up to her knees. "Jim's got a cold," she ex- plained. I invited her in to get warm and as she was leaving she said, "When the promoter of the newspaper hired my son to take on a route he told us it was a wonderful way to develop character. "He was right," she declared as she hoisted the strap of the heavy bag over her shoulder, "It's good for muscles too!" I know now what she meant. Having two paper boys in the family has tempered my disposition considerably. I learned, when they sleep through the explosion of the six o'clock alarm, to keep my patience and nudge them gently out of bed when I'm more inclined to hit them over the head with a sledge hammer. I've discovered a way to keep my cool when irate customers phone because their paper is late or been thrown in a puddle. I can somehow control myself when the nice man comes to collect the boys' money and they're seven dollars and twenty-nine cents short. No longer do I swear when they're short a paper and rush home to grab ours to fill the gap even when I'm in the middle of reading Ann Landers, Yes sir, a paper route is great for Mom's character. Several times I've been called into service, once being last winter after the 'big storm' when our elder son came home with a chill and the flu bug and several papers left to deliver, On the way to work I detoured through drifts up past my pantyhose to get that day's copy to half a dozen 'undug' doorsteps. This summer when our youngest went off camping he hired a replacement, but when the latter got a sudden invite to friends who filled the breach? That's right, good old Mom. I took the easy way out, though. As Dad ate his breakfast I whirred around with the papers while the car was still available. First morning. I stumbled out on the job, unwashed, uncombed and barely awake. As I was loading my bundle into the front seat another car drove along side. One of the most beautifully coiffured and made-up creatures I have ever seen leaned out of the window and asked me the way to Dashwood. Keep in mind this was at 6:45 a.m. I haven't made up my mind whether she was ending her day or starting it but the sight of her certainly opened my eyes in a hurry and thereafter I brushed my hair and applied a little lip- stick before I ventured forth. Actually, things went well. I Directors of the first summer craft festival held in Lucknow the end of last month have evaluated the results of the venture which started out small but ended up big. Big, not only because of the nearly 80 exhibitors who showed their all-Canadian handmade wares, but big also because of the response and enthusiasm shown by the 7,000 persons who flocked to Lucknow to view and buy the merchandise. Mrs. 0. McCharles, convener of the affair, reports the com- mittee have already received over 100 requests from craftsmen wanting space at next year's festival. She said requests have come from the Department of Education for teachers of some of the crafts, Hobby shops, TV stations and hospitals have also shown interest. Mrs. McCharles also stated many helpful suggestions from visitors and exhibitors will be implemented into next summer's festival to make it even better than its predecessor, Among those exhibiting and promoting their handicrafts were Mrs. Moira Couper, Hensall, spinning; Victor L. Hogarth, needlepoint, and Mrs. Flora had only one complaint .. . well, it wasn't really a complaint . . the good lady just couldn't find her paper. Not much wonder, it was lying on someone else's porch. A paper route is a good thing for a boy too . I mean it. It does teach such things as respon- sibility and the value of a ten cent tip. He learns to cope with many situations and different types of human beings. He knows, come hell or high water, he has to get up and get those papers delivered before breakfast and before school. Even on Saturdays, when most kids can sleep in, he's out there slugging with heavy, supplement- stuffed \weekend issues. A man told me recently his four children delivered several The making of pickles may be an impulsive or deliberate un- dertaking. The urge may develop as the result of the unmistakable odor eminating from your neigh- bor's kitchen. These recipes are not time consuming, they may be packed into any type of jar with a tight- fitting lid and may be stored for one year under ordinary home conditions. Homemade pickles are usually a source of delight and pride to offer both friends and family.

All said they were 'very happy' with the festival's format and that the event was an in- teresting experience. Sales were good and articles were ordered for future delivery from as far away as Bermuda. England and South Africa. Many persons from Exeter and area attended the two day show and other visitors were present from every province and nearly every state in the United States. ociVt FC) ee46 Birthday greetings are extended to the following persons: THOMAS C.

He said the family would have starved if it hadn't been for those kids. That's responsibility. And in case you think paper carriers are over-paid try taking on an average size route yourself and see how much money you sock in the bank. Most paper boys and girls just want to be paid for what they deliver. I don't think they look for a tip as much as they hope for a cheerful smile. I've seen their eyes light up at a quiet word of appreciation. Remember there's another reason to be kind to your paper boy. He may grow up to be your bank manager some day. hours. Drain.
