And if I wasn't expecting,. I would also be helping with the milking." During the evening chores, the children accompany their mom and dad to the barn and in the mornings, an intercom system keeps the parents in touch with their sleeping kids. "We have an old baby buggy set up in the milk house. If I'm breast feeding, I'll even feed the baby in the barn, that's if the baby is hungry. Babies adjust very well. The kids love it in the barn. "Some people say it isn't safe to have kids in the barn, but our barn has tie stalls - the kids can run around "more out .there than in the house. ,Though a cow can kick back, they're used to the kids now and they've, never kicked." Joan says she would like to see a drop-in centre for rural kids even if only for one day a week. That way her kids could socialize with other kids. "Rural kids don't get out much. It would give us a day off if we had a drop-in centre." Back when she was growing up, Joan can remember her mother working in the field and the kids went along. "There were 10 kids in our family so the older kids looked ' after the younger ones." Rural mothers have made known the need for child care.

" Travel games By James Friel Travelling is one of the recreational pursuits I really enjoy in this life. And because I enjoy it, I never seem to do enough. That's why, after a friend % called, I took the opportunity to go td Washington, D.C. for -a few days, a result of New Year's scheduling at the paper. I usually travel by car. The isolation experienced by people travelling by car with nothing but conversation to break up sometimes monotonous landscape can produce some pretty odd results. What happened oh the way -back reminded me of a newspaper story I read recently -about the behaviour of a research' team stationed at Antarctica. To battle the isolation, a number of movi were left with them during the long »bsv ter when . contact with the outside world is held to a bate minimum, - , - After watching the movies dozens of times each, the group cul off the Films and spliced together one of their own making. On the basis of this: movie, a new language was developed with the members of the. base `pickuig up the phrases in the movie mid agreeing upon meanings. By the tittle the base' was to be restocked with a new batch of humans, the language developed for fun had progressed so far that when the switch - over was to, be initiated, those oversee- ing could hardly understand the group at the base.. . ` - On. New Tear's Eve we found a motel in a primarily black section of- town, which isn't hard to do because the vast majority of people living in the U.S. capital are black. Ron and I were the only whites in the motel, a motel filled with local denizens, all with their own lingual quirks. Lots of - them. In fact- so. many 1 couldn't under- stand nder:stand much said. We didn't talc to anyone else for any length of time in the next 32 hours or so; but when we did, I know it sounded strange. _ We picked up a"lot of the slang Willie. Dixon and his friends in D.C. " were using. Later, in the meandering way conversation -can get while isolated with little else to do, we started discussing commercials we didn't like, still Using what we picked up in Washington. By coincidence, : one ofthem featured actors with French accents. • Soon we had incorporated our own. pretty bad French accents into the slang we picked up. The "chili=' down man, '• yearsr and. - �a I got torn"dorn New Year's,- yeah" ma"' hear ya, yeah', and "I'm a.TiT man, yeah" were All said with as lilting and: sophisticated French -accent as -we could mutter. We talked ikeat for about 24 hours until our twisted voice boxes began to hitrt and we found it difficult to stop.. "We denet sound like tiaything," . Ron: noted. In retrospect, though, I` can see we sinded pretty dumb Most sof that has gone away after almost a week of speaking :`with -area pe'opl'e thouigih -I still`tay'yeah" a lot.
