the overall title in the Summerfest firemen's competi-
tion hosted by the Crediton brigade, Sunday. They
managed to win the title despite a failure in the hose
relay when the bottom man on the ladder had his noz-
zle come loose and ended up spraying his partner's rear
instead of the chairs in front of the scaffold.

T
Sir:
Mr. Bob Allan's statements
at the O.M.B. hearing held on
August 2, 1983 ( Huron board
opposes Christian school,
Times -Advocate, August 10,
1983) warrant 'a few com-
ments. First of all, it is good
to know that the newly -
appointed Director of Educa-
tion is concerned about the
ability of Huron County
ratepayers to absorb higher
educational costs. In these
tough economic limes,
especially as felt in a farming
community such as ours, it is
a necessary attribute to be
sensitive to the tax burdens of
the constituents.
In a sense Mr. Allan is right
when he argues that a future
Christian High School would
ultimately be. supported.
albeit to a very small extent.
by every ratepayer in the
county. A drain of students
from the public neutral
system to a public Christian
high school would, of course,
reduce the overall educa-
tional grants. Since operating
costs would remain relative-
ly unchanged the Boardwould
have no option but to pass on
the increased cost to the
Huron ratepayers.
However, the contention
that a lass of students to a pro-
posed Christian high school
would result in a loss of fun
ding is debatable. Funding is
based on needs. If grants are
reduced( it is only because the
needs are reduced.
Furthermore, through con-

Newlyweds always have a
lot of adjustments to make. I
think the change that I found
most difficult to make was the
move from a home where
there was bountiful closet
space to a home where closet
space is next to non-existent.
I know this has been a dif-
ficult adjustment, because
I'm no longer a newlywed -
four years later, this problem
is still bothering me.
Let's face it -- my parents
spoiled•me. I -had a bedroom
with two closets: one large
walk-in closet with lots of
shelves for shoes, and one
cedar -lined closet for wool
clothing. I failed to fully ap-
preciate it then, but now 1
realize I was living in luxury.
By comparison, I now have
a small closet, and worse yet,
i have to share it with so-
• meone else. Andnotonly is the
closet too short, it's also loo
narrow. That means that to
shut the bi-fold door you have
to fight with all your sleeves
to keep them from getting
caught in the door. •
I know now why real estate
salesmen make such a point
of telling potential buyers
about the ample closet space.
The house could be a real
dump, but if there are lots of
roomy closets, it's a gem. •
By now you have the im-
pression that 1 am not pleas-
ed with the closet space (or•
the Zack of) in our bedroom.
You'll understand why I was
just a little upset with what
happened the other night.
i had just arrived home
from a business trip with a
suitcase filled with dirty
clothes. For some reason that
I haven't figured out, there is
always more laundry to do
when i've been away for the
week. it's still the same
Length of time between
washings. Perhaps it's
understandable that I might
go tilror •,h more clothes when
I'm travelling. But somehow,
my husband cotnes up with
more laundry when he's left
home alone.
Anyway, we decided to
spend an exciting Saturday
evening. at home doing laun-
dry. We couldn't go out -- we

Mary's
musings
By Mary Alderson
didn't have any clean clothes
to wear. At midnight we were
just finishing up the ironing
and hanging up the results in
our closet.
Victor was hanging up his
pants, and t had just hung my
last dress and turned my back
on the closet when 1 heard a
sickening thud. The bar
holding our clothes had col-
lapsed and there was
everything clean and freshly
pressed lying in a crumpled
heap on the floor.
Since it was well after mid-
night major repairs were out
of the question. We propped
up the bar as best we could,
and hung clothes on every
door knob in the house.
Clothes were spread all over
the living room furniture and
the floor.
Constructing new braces
and erecting a new bar in the
closet took the better part of
the next day. And this time,
Victor wanted to make sure
the bar didn't collapse again.
He put a hook in the ceiling
and strung a wire down to
support the middle of the bar.
A great idea, I thought. Until
I noticed that the suspended
wire was well into my half of
the closet. Ile quickly hung
up his clothes in his side,
spreading them along to the
wire, which, as I say, was not
centered, but well into my
half. Now, I no longer have a
half closet -- it's more like
three-eighths. i came out of
this fiasco on the short end --
literally.
That's OK, i fixed him. The
laundry basket now goes on
the floor in his side of the
closet. The rest of the floor is
covered with my shoes. His
'shoes can just stay in a heap
at the hack door.

WHAT 1S "WIDOW'S WALK"?
Old and historic homes built along the
seacoasts often hove a fence -like railing on the
roof which is called a "widow's walk."
This "widow's walk" provided a lookout point
for those awaiting the return of loved ones
from the sea. In early days, many families were
dependent on the shipping business for their
livelihood, Many lives were lost at sea. Many
ships were to depart, never to return again.
"Watching from the widow's walk" became a
common experience for countless wives and
sweethearts in the early history of our country.
The expression, "widow's walk", has been us-
ed to entitle a booklet by Jane Woods
Shoemaker. A widow can receive comfort and
constructive ideas to help her adjust to her new
way of life by reading this warm and moving
experience of another widow.
Your problems are our concern.'Please feel free
