Maybe that way I'll get some sleep especially on the weekends. All week I look forward to Saturday when I can sleep in, and lounge around in a comfortable garb the rest of the day happily employed at some unworthwhile, but pleasant endeavor. I say I look forward to it , . but it never happens. The reason it never happens? My two sons. This thing of having boys with seven years between them is fast turning me into a grumpy and extremely tired old lady. Conies Friday night , ."Now, get home EARLY," I tell the oldest male offspring. "Yeah, yeah," he answers. He gets home early alright . . . like 3 a.m. Now, I am a mother who can't sleep until all her chicks are safely counted and tucked under her wing. Worse than that, when the kids are late my imagination runs as wild as a fire in a tinder box. Accidents of every hideous nature flash across the screen of my mind. Finally, just when I have that funeral all planned, I hear the soft click of the back door. Springing from my bed I en- counter. him as he stealthily tries to slip past our door. "Where have you BEEN?" "Aw, just over at Jim's wat- ching the double feature on the late, show and talking awhile," ,am storming.

Indeed, how very thoughtful! So disturbed am I, by this time, that it takes me another hour to calm down enough to fall asleep. It seems I have no sooner dropped into slumber when. I'm blasted to a sitting position by the shrilling of the alarm clock across the hall. "Oh ye gods ... it can't be morning not yet," Our youngest lad, who decided the night before to run away this particular day, has set the alarm so he can get a good start on the road. "Hey, you guys," he says as he stands in our doorway, "Where's my warm toque? I might need it." I stumble out of bed to look for the hat and note that he's also taking a can of pork and beans, a pack of matches and his best friend, "Need a pencil to drop us a note'?" I ask. "Don't think so," he flings over his shoulder as he strides out giving the door a bang of finality. I try, but there's no way I can get back to sleep, At noon the runaway reap- pears, soaked to the hide and mud to the ears, "Wasn't a good day for travelling," he explains. "May have to wait 'til spring." Rivulets of mud and rain evolve into dirty lakes and oceans on the clean floor. Dear heaven, help me . . . I'm just not up to this today. Shuddering I turn back to the - kitchen to be jolted by the ap- parition of elder son, just out of bed. "What's for breakfast," he yawns. "Nothing," I snap as I give him a well-aimed boot in the tail feathers.

Nancy if the daughter of Mr. he ambles into the family room. Ile turns on Channel 13. "I want to watch Channel 10," yells younger son as he emerges from the mud room stripped to his wet underwear, his wet feet lifting the wax off the floor as he makes a flying tackle at the T.V. controls. "Leave it alone," warns big brother. "I will not , . it's my turn n . . Mommmmmm," wails little brother. The skirmish starts. I leave them alone . . there's a chance they'll kill each other. The only thing a boy of 17 and one of 10 have in common is the intense desire to disagree with each other on EVERYTHING. If one wants the radio on, the other insists on listening to records. If one is watching his favorite program the other remembers he must get his music practicing done right away and LOUDLY. If, perchance, one boy can be persuaded to take a bath, the other will arrange to get into the bathroom first and spend hours there doing God knows what. Even when they decide to get along it's a fight. One will want to play Crazy Eights while the other argues for Double Solitaire. Oh, there's one more thing they hold in common. Neither can stand peace and quiet and if, by some miracle, a two minute silence should prevail in the house one can soon get the action started by tripping his brother as he walks past. The ruckus is only quieted by a distraught mother making wide swings with the broom and getting in a few healthy licks. In the summer, I could always sweep them outside, but it looks like a long, hard winter ahead. Like I said, next time I'll do it differently. and Mrs. Gilbert Dow, Exeter, and Paul if the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Charrette, R.R. 2, Dashwood. The ceremony was performed by Father A. Robert, and Mrs. Henry Rau provided the wedding music. The bride, given in masrriage by her step-father, was lovely in princess styled gown of chiffon overlay on taffetta.

She carried baby pink roses, white car- nations, star flowers and baby's breath tied with pink ribbon, Suzzanne Scott, Strathroy, was maid of honor while Mrs. Rose Anne Durand, London, was the bridesmaid. They wore mauve crepe dresses styled similarly to the bride's with shirred sleeves, Their flowers were pink roses, purple tipped carnations, star flowers and baby's breath, with purple ribbon, Standing up with the groom — Please turn to page 13 Flo• rida Pre-Christmas Special 1 departure Dec. 11, 1971 $t 140°' includes return air fare and 7 night's accommodation The Coach House Goderich 524-8366 Roll call for the klurondale Womens Institute was answered by "What I should remember and what I should forget," During the business reports were given by Anna Keller on the Huronview bazaar; Mrs. R.
