After the cement had hardened, the grinders moved
in last Wednesday and working around the clock for
three days, had the new floor at the Clinton arena
smooth as a baby's bottom, and ready for ice which
will be put in in three weeks. Here, workers push off
"mud" left over from the grinding process. (News -

ferent than a dry Hullett.
The statement and the
editorial came after
township voters failed to
give the necessary 60 per
cent vote to pass a liquor
plebiscite.
The editorial pointed
out that with the board
suspending all special
occasion permits after
December 1, both Auburn
and Londesboro halls will
notice a drop in rentals
for both wedding
receptions and other
events.
As well, the editorial
noted that a lot of
replanning will have to be
done. With the upcoming .,
125th birthday
celebrations, Auburn
planners may have to
scrap barbecues,
homecoming festivities
and beer gardens.
The next by-law liquor
plebiscite will have to
wait three years, The
Standard editorial went
on, although too late for
Auburn, maybe its 150th
birthday will have better
luck.

see that it is secure in the envelope, before
mailing, particularly so when silver is.sent.
Not long since we received a letter in which
was a loose 50 cent piece, that had worn
through the envelope and dropped out just
as it was handed us, and the other day, in
handling a letter by the post master here,
four 10 cent pieces dropped out. If small

He took me to the
garage, insisted on
waiting until I was ser-
ved, commiserated with
me over the $14 towing
charge, and took me back
to the derelict, where I
expected to find my wife
literally shaking with
rage. At me.
Something's happening
to her. Ten years ago, in
such an incident, she'd
have ripped, into me with
assorted charges of in-
competence, mopery and
gawk.
But she's mellowed.
She merely asked me how
things went. When the
tow -truck arrived and
hoisted our front end
high, we both elected to
remain in the car. As we.
sailed majestically off to
the garage, I ventured
tentatively, "Fun, isn't
it?", she grinned, and we
were closer than we've
been for a while.
We suffered a learned

mechanic, whose favorite
word, ironically, was
"irony". Not the sort of
word mechanics usually
toss about. He ex-
pounded, "The irony of it
is that if I put in a new
master cylinder, at about
$120, you may still have
no brakes, since there
may be air in the lines,
and I can't bleed the lines
because the foofawraw
might break if , I applied

He went on. "If you still
have no brakes, you have
a problem." I almost
expected him to say,
"N'est-ce pas?", the
question was so
ridiculous. "Of course,
you could put in new

$12 each, plus labor."
Finally, after an hour
and a half, we abandoned
the thing in the garage
and set off on foot with
