You have to believe it for Bob Black brought just such a cucumber into the office of the Brussels Post on Monday of this week. It was grown in, his Hydroponic greenhouse.

Next week there will be the big invitational softball tourna- ment. That should, provide great entertain- ment for ball fans of all ages. There will be 16 teams participating in the tournament. See ad elsewhere in this paper. ****** • Those pesky little creatures—earwigs— are around these days. The wet weather we have been having is providing the dampness ' which they favour and thrive on. If you are not successful in keeping them out of the house do not fear them nibbling on clothing or furniture. They do not have a taste for such things. They do get into Things and are definitely a nuisance. They persist in sneaking into homes by clinging to washing on the line and are also carried in on your person. Shake those clean clothes when you take them off the line. *•**** If you want another chance to see the musical "Annie Get Your Gun"—you haVe it. There will. be a bus going to the Grand Bend playhouse August 28th for a perform- ance of that play. See Coming Events for particulars.• ****** My home these days is not the quiet spot it usually is. With my son and his family from Ottawa it is fill of activity, comings and goings. Sheba, my dog, is the recipient of a great deal of attention from my grandsons and is in a state of exalted excitement when she is not worn out from roughing around with them. Grandma is ordered around by everyone. "Stay' out of the kitchen," "sit down," "don't do this, or that, we will do it," etc. etc. My son, who knows mother needs help catching up with a myriad of jobs she cannot do, Iteeps things in a turmoil. Among other things he is slapping paint on here and there which someone is almost sure to 'bump into, catching some wrathful words from the painter. In between it is rushing off to some Lake Huron beach. Without that a holiday here would be a total loss. The only trouble is grandma is not sure she will survive two weeks of all this hustle and ,bustle. In spite of this I appreciate and ,enjoy, thoroughly, every minute.
