awarded vote option
Roman Catholic electors who
are neither property- owners nor
tenants have the choice of,being
enumerated as public or
separate school board, electors
for the first time this year.
Revenue Minister Alban
Grossman said today that recent
Ontario legislation shifted the
t asis of local electoral status
from the • traditional property
qualifications 'of . ownership- or
tenancy to a new system_ based
upon, residency. .
"This, means -non-property
owning and non -tenant Roman
Catholics, such asspouses,
students and boarders, as well
as 'priests and nuns, can now
vote in separate school board
elections if they so choose," the
Minister said.
Regarding Roman Catholic
property owners and tenants,
Mr. Grossman said they have
always had- the choice ` of
directing the education portion
of .property taxes to either the.
public or separate school
system,
"This decision determined
their school board voting status
and will continue," he added.
Mr. Grossman said that the
expansion of ,voting rights
niean,s, for example, that a
Roma.n • Catholic son • or
daughter who lives at home,' is
18 years or older, ' and is a
Canadian citizen or British
subject can vote for either the
public or separate school board
irrespective of how the parents
direct -their 'education taxes.
Mr. Grossman- said that when
enumerators, employed by
the assessment division in his
ministry, visit properties :during'
September they will identify and -
record Roman Catholics who
wish to support the separate
school system.
The enumerators are
collecting this and other basic
data - such as name, .age,
property occupancy status ,and
citizenship prinoipal,ly• for
municipal voters' `.lists which
must be delivered to the
municipal clerk by October' 10.
The lists will be used in this
year's municipal and school
board elections being held in 80
per cent of Ontario's
Municipalities on' December 4.
Residents are urged to check
the information recorded by
enumerators, to make any
necessary changes and to sign
the notice as being correct. The
enumerator wily also sign the
notice and will leave a copy
with the resident.

something like that. This is
more or less the , way I feel
towards the end' of this one:
For one thing, the weather
has been generally rotten. My
heart has ached, for the campers,
the tenters, as temperature
drops, the winds blow, and I
' turn up the thermostat on the
furnace. As I write, its more like-

Lord, fate, or the devil. But its
too obvious to bemerely
coincidental. -
It, or they,- started 'with my
car. Almost six months ago, a
gentleman backed into the front
of it. He's a mechanic and
promised to have it fixed, rather
than pay the almost exhorbitant
insurance rate. It is still not
fixed. Not his fault. We made a
date for July 31'st and my wife
busted her ankle and in the
confusion, I forgot. But it's still
not fixed.
Next, I was at a public
gathering, where there were' a
lot df cars parked. SoMebody,
and he was NOT a .gentleman,
snuggled up too close to me. The
only calling card he left was a
deep indentation in my left front
door:
Third. And that was My
wife's fault, not mine. She, was'
yakking at full steam, somewhat
like an organ withall the stops

motel where we'd had lunch. I
backed up, knowing thele were
no cars there and hit a light
standard that shouldn't' have
been there. It was solid brick. •It
made a boomerang of my back
bumper:, There went another
hundred bucks.
Here's where I'll go along
with-I1alph Nader,, , and

on `cars today are not bumpers,
but junkers. A generation ago, a
bumper bumped and ,didn't give

As we all know, accidents
come in three's. Well T haft=•my
three and thought whoever was
out to 'get me should relax for a
while. Not so.
As I metitloned,, my wife
broke 'her ankle and a week
later I, broke my toe. She groans
and , hobbles 'around ` in a
walking cast. 1 groan and
hobble around. never realized
before just how important a big
toe is in the process of
ambulation. Something like a
fish trying to swim with his, tail
cut off. '
0h, it a -jolly- lively' •place --
around our house. We should be
out at the beach, doing a fancy
crawl stroke, calling.. cheerfully
to each other about how terrific
the water is.' today. Instead,
we're stuck in the house, doing a
'fancy. crawl up and down stairs
and calling balefully about such
cheery things as getting . the
igarbage out, doing the washing,
preparing diri_ner,,
Do you know what happens to
a couple of love birds in a cage
who start getting on each other's
nerves? One of them pecks the
"otherto death. Then eats hitn,
mor her. Well, I' pretty tender
and my wife is very tdugh, so
I'm .keeping a close eye on her.
I gave her a big hug the other
day. It's her left ankle, mj' right
toe, they collided, we both ..
yelped and these were mutual
recriminations. Nekt time, I',11
..hug her from behind, or
sideways, or , something.
But this is .all trivia. I await, -
cringing, the third accident in
the second series.
And it will 'probably be on the
phone any minute. I was idiotic
enough to .lendmy car to
daughter Kim and her husband. -
They took off in the poor old
battered brute• a couple of hours
ago, for the city, where. they
have to apply for student loans,
register for college, find a place
to live, and, all such. They' both
drive,, like chimpanzees who've
had three l'eessons. •
They might just make it. But
if they do, my oak tree. will snap
in' a storm and ,•crash on my
neighb'our's roof. Or, I'll get- a
hernia carrying out the empty
beverage bottles. Or my wife
will slip on her gimpy leg going
downstairs and break her other
one.
It's not that I'm superstitious.
ICs just that • I have this'..
immutable hunch that,
Somebody, up there, or down
there, is trying to punish me for
all my past sins, all at once.,
And now, if you'll excuse me,
