My sister arrived with her trunk null of some of the items she's beginning to clear out of her Mouse. She's lived in this same -four-storey home for forty years, and being something of a pack rat, you can Im- agine what a task it's going to be to get to the bottom of everything before she moves out the end of June. She assures me everything is mov- ing along very well; one grand daughter is,.setting up an apartment so is more than happyto have the kit- chen table and chairs and the chester- field set from the den. A nephew who loves rugged anti- ques has hauled away all the old iron pots, crocks and bottles, and the an- cient scrub board. And she was reliev- ed when she even found sOmeone who wanted all her old fruit jars. She thinks by the time everyone takes what they want, she'll be left only with what she really needs and wants to keep. Well, maybe not quite. She did bring several boxes up to me to see what should be done with the contents. One basket was a treasure trove, filled with all kinds of washing materials from another age. There were four blocks of Reckitt's Square Blue. The price was still visi- ble, 15t a box, and goes back to our mother's day when she tied up a block of the blueing in a little white bag and swished it back and forth in the rinse water for her laundry. The directions state it will prevent yellowing and it must have worked because Mother's washing was always as white as white. Grandma Cann (Dad's mother) also used to rinse her hair with Rickitt's Blue and kept it piled up on her head as white as a snowdrift. I think La France's bluing powder came after Rickitts Square Blue, but there were also two boxes of it, and since the price was only 13t, they must go back a long way, too. The basket also held a box of Ivory laun- dry starch that I used to love to nib- ble as a child, and another box of Lawrason's 991/2 to 100% Pure Borax, and some old bars of Sunlight and Fels Naptha soap, all reminding us of a time when wash day was not just a matter of turning a knob on the automatic, but was a whole day set apart for the sole, and often back breaking, purpose of making sure the family clothes were clean. Well, there were other boxes to peruse, and none brought back more memories than the flat one holding two fur neck pieces, each made up of four shiny, brown mink with thein lit- tle heads and feet just as intact as the day they were sacrificed to adorn our suits and coats. No one in their right mind would wear them today, but back in the late 40s and 50s, they were high fashion, indeed. I never owned a set, but would bor- row my mother's on special occa- Think of any number greater than zero. Multiply it by three. Add one. Multiply by three. Add the original number. The answer will always end with three. Strike off the three, and the remaining figure will be the original number. -Tenruee T.r All you need when you need instant cash.

Attending a luncheon ed to do some shopping, and in the in London and wanting to look more course of the afternoon had to make affluent that I really was, I asked the a stop at the ladies' room. For some loan of Mother's furs. It was an reason or other, I removed the furs It Seems to me... elegant affair, lovely food, eloquent speaker, and as I sat with the mink draped around my shoulders I felt I could keep my head up with everyone else. by Gwyn Whilsmith MR. ANQ MRS. MICHAEL TAYLOR Marriage vows were exchanged by Sandra J. Broom and Michael D. Taylor on May 3, 1986 at Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church with Rev. Jim Sutton officiating.

The couple are residing in Huron Park. 1 r VON400AT1M16 .................................... and draped them over the wall separating the stalls. Two hours later, as I nonchalantly walked down the street, I came to the sudden and sickening realization that I was without the furs. You can only im- agine what went through my mind ... my mother's anger at my carelessness, to be sure, but 1 knew it would be tame to what my hus- band's would be! Finally, I began to think of ways we could raise the money to pay for the lost furs, and the only thing I came up with was to sell the car. Flying back to the ladies' room with my heart in my mouth, and without any hope of finding them, I almost fainted with relief when I saw those mink still crawling over the wall, their beady eyes glaring at me accusingly. The 0. place was crowded with pa go- ing and coming, and l think the OgY thing that saved the furs was MOO* person in each stall thought °they belonged to the one on the other side. In any event, I took those mink back home and never, never borrow- ed them again 'no matter whom I wanted to impress! Seems to me life is funny... if I hadn't found them, back then, all hell would have broken loose. Now, 30 years later, here they are ly- ing in an old beat up box amid some dried out cedar boughs, and we can't even'give them away. Still, they do have the power to haunt me about an experience I'd much rather forget.
