ches, which will be combined by the com-
mittee in charge to make: a well illustrated
and informative brochure.

ed information of the different services seconded by Donna Errington that we

suitcase, in the dark, trying to Lind some
cotton balls to stick in my ears. No luck!
Back to my bed, put the pillow over my
head, holding it tightly against myears - I
can't breathe! All this time Mr. Fixit is
laying there saying he can't believe people
snore like that. Under my breath I remark
"you should hear yourself."
Time goes by and finally peace. They
have both stopped. As I snuggled down, I
couldn't believe my ears, they were now
talking in their sleep and it really ap-
peared that they were talking to each
other. One would mumble and then the
other mumbled back. Sometime later,
after they had completed their "conversa-
tion" I fell asleep.
Upon arising, I did not hesitate to inform
this couple about their noisy sleeping
habits.
Of course, they denied they snored or
talked in their sleep. I wissh I could have
taped that night as proof.
All 1 can say is, my parents are ducky h'
love them so much, or 'would have doused
them with the ice bucket!
Gotcha Mom!

Finlay Decorators in 36th year
In June 1989, Finlay Decorators of
Lucknow, owned by Paul Finlay and
assisted by his mother, Marg, will
celebrate 36 years in business.
Marg and her late husband Bob Finlay
purchased the business from Hector Pur -
don in 1953.
The present building, which houses the
business, was built in 1977 and remodelled
in 1983 to include theretail store, enabling
the Finlays to operate the entire business
under one roof.
Over her 36 years in business Marg has
seen many changes in home decorating
products. One she humourously recalls is
"a single roll of white ceiling paper sold
for .29 when Bob and I first went into
business."
Wallpaper did not come self pasted, you
mixed the paste and applied it with, a
brush.
Inthe paint line there was no latex or
acrylic; these were products of the future
in 1953.
Floor covering was "linoleum or tile"
and the tiles had to be glued. One could not
simply peel off the back and stick the tile
down as we do today.
In the very early years, Finlay
Decorators displayed one book of
wallpaper samples. Today there are
numerous books available, from the very
plain to the very sophisticated. Something
for everyone!
In 1989 + uil-ay Decorators offers y► u a
complete line of home decorating products
- paint, wallpaper, many different floor
coverings and window coverings. For the
do-it-yourselfer, they have a wide range of
handy tools to assist you in making your in -
