Volunteers hope to finish packing the boxes in Novem- ber so that the visitor can be- gin delivering them early in December. It is'hoped to be finished by December 15th. It was• suggested that people wishing to share in this work would like to make it a Thanks- giving project. In this way contributions would come to the Children's Aid Society of- fice in October and early No- vember so that the sorting, selecting and wrapping can be easily accomplished in good time. Money is always acceptable because it can be used to buy what is suitable for each panic..., ular child. Woollen and leath- er mitts are always useful; dia- pers; gifts for children, espe- cially those over 12 years of age, and especially boys;games for a family to enjoy; baby blankets; pyjamas for older chil- dren hitdren and so on. Remember too, that these gifts do not need to be Christmas wrapped.

Dear Ann Landers: The man who signed himself "Starvation Diet" and told about putting up with an "Iceberg Wife" for 14 years sounds like my hus- band. He's been sitting in the living roomouting behind the newspaper for two hours because "nothing happened" last night. I agree with the French philosopher -- "There are' no frigid women -- only clumsy men." He should have added, "And some men 'are blind, too." Tomorrow is our lath anni- versary. My husband refers to me as his "Cold Tomato," The truth is I'm starved for love I could explode. Notice, please, I said love;—not sex. My hus- band brags about what a great mother I am (seven children -- how about that?) He raves about my figure and youthful appearance and tells everyone I'm a terrific cook and a swell manager. - What he doesn't understand is that a woman needs to be told she is loved and wanted— some indication that he thinks of her as a human being and not just a convenience would make a world of difference. Why doesn't someone start a school to educate husbands in the art of lovemaking? The school could • be subsidized by the • government since it" would certainly promote peace,' tran- quillity and the pursuit of hap- piness.—ALSO STARVED. miles were completed for $135,- 000, "It is the first year in 13 years we've been under the es- timates, county engineer Jim Britnell commented. "We're looking forward to a surplus. " He suggested the road com- mittee might well consider the purchase of some new equip-. menton this year's budget which would otherwise have to be taken into consideration next. year at budget time. . Btitnell also told council road budgets were not being cut by the Ontario department of highways but that the standards are being lowered. He said for some time now, roads have been given prime consideration by the government , but that re- cently health and education are Coming in for extra funds. "And perhaps rightly so, " said Britnell. He claimed Hur- on County has a fine road sys- tem built on a "champagne in- come". The county engineer, report- ed some of the work proposed for this year had been deferred until '1970 including the con- crete deck on the Benmiller bridge. -• He said the fine weather this' summer allowed work to proceed easily and without in- terruption, a distinct factor in the accumulation of a $15,- 000 to $20,000 surplus men - tioned for this year in the road department. At Huronview, where the estimated budget was. $746,466 for 1969, actual expenses till June 30 were $363,070. 97. Robert Lyons', chairman of the committee of manage - Ment at Huronview, got ap proval for his committee's re- commendation that a per diem rate beset at $216 per month and $7.10 per day for any part of the month, retroactive to April firstof this 'year. Harvey ' Johnston,, former administrator at Huronview, introduced Ches- ter A. Archibald, the new ad ministrator, whocommenced his duties Septerriber 1. Estimated budget in the Health Unit was $227, 511, while actual expenditures tb June 30 totalled $102,185. Li- brary expenses have totalled $57, 5$9. 'Budget estimates for the year are $145,000. The Children's Aid Society is operating within its budget too. Actual, costs have been $108, 567 of a budget of $215, - 366. Mr. Berry spoke of `the con- cern which must be felt in re- gard to the extremely high in- terest rate on all borrowings. He added that the county is at present paying interest on $1, - 200,000. - - Mrs, I. W. Merrick is a patient in St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, where she recently underwent surgery. --Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Carter and family attended as family dinner and reception in London on Saturday honoring her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bail- ey, on the occasion of their 45th wedding anniversary. "The county does have a re- serve for, working capital of $50,006, " Mr.' Berry explain- . ed. "This money is available as ready cash rather than put- ting the funds into a surplus account and then having to bor- row to return the money to the bank account. " "1 would strongly , recom- mend, " he continued, neat in considering the budget for 1970 every consideration be given to increasing the working capital account in order to save on borrowings and as a result -save on interest charges. " As a matter of interest, Mr. Berry told council that the aver age cost per delegate to con- ventions during the year was $165. 08. "This.. does not seem extravagant, " 'he said. • Doer Inside.: 'Howard hasn't asked for my ,advice and I'll 'bet he hasn't asked for yours, either, so let's both keep our noses out of it. * * * Do you feel ill at ease .. . out of it?

Friday night was my birth- day. Mom let mei have 14 kids for supper. Most of the kids bought gag gifts. Roily bought me a beautiful gold bracelet. It looked very expensive. My mother was shocked and not at all pleased. This afternoon when I return- ed from school, mom told me she had a phone„ call from Rolly's mother wanting to know what Rolly had given - me for my birthday. Mom said, "A bracelet—and a mighty fancy one at that." The woman an- swered, "Yes, it's fancy all right—my husband gave it to me for our anniversary." -Mom returned , the bracelet within ten minutes. Now she says I shouldn't see Rolly any more, that he is dishonest and could ' get me into trouble. I respect her judgment but I think she is too hard on him.
