DO YOUR AUTO INSURANCE RATES MAKE 1100t Not ready for Christmas How the time flies!' It just seems a few weeks ago that 'in Wndsor, I argued with Walt to stay with. his brother while I "went home - alone" - i had a very good reason for this - as I just couldn't picture trying to feed and care for more than 3101E in a house that had to be made over, rearranged, put together,- and undone - and a few other things, after a winter of disruption, frustra- tion. rebuilding and things. to be finished— in a hurry' I can't help but grin when 1 think of my first words after I unlocked the door - "Good heavens, what do I do NOW'." When , I left just before Christmas, the tiny kitchen - end of the wee house was be- ing pulled down and 1 knew it would look different - but somehow I hadn't visualized the change. Anyway, the shock soon wore off and I settled in t0 try to find the kitchen things - about all I could do until the flooring was taken care of and then boxes could be un- packed. Several of my grand- children turned up to do. whatever they could - and 1 thanked the Good Lord for such relatives as these. Once the floor was . covered. things seemed to look brighter and I began to see what could happen with .'all that room" - something you couldn't do before, the big change. By the time r Walt came home. there was a semblance of order = in ONE big room t the rest were packed to the doors a. He was speechless - just kept looking around. staying out of the way and offering NO advice. in three days you wouldn't believe the things those kids had accnmphshed - i fust W.J.

I'm sure you know, without my telling, that trying to un- pack, put away, search for - often finding things you know you have - somewhere - can take a lot of energy. I would just fall asleep at all _. hours, waken just as fast and just keep going again. It was GREAT to be home! Granddaughter Sharon came with her little Gremlin and tried to help unravel the confusion. Oh, the BIG room was fine - the rest were in trouble. One out of five - at that time - seemed great Sharon's Jason was a love- ly child and we managed to get a lot'bf things done. I was sorry to see them leave. I soon got into the swing of things . after seeing old friends and familiar places. I enjoy Goderich- Unpacking is just fine - if you have a place to put the thongs you unpack. When this is a problem, itis REAL- LY EALLY a problem and I have a lot of them. It is nice having more room but you still need help. I have accomplished a great deal but it doesn't show. The summer was wonder- ful, so was most of the fall and the winter has been try- ing to creep in -slowly - so that I might get away before it settled. down. But since I haven't been settled down - whatever that is 'things are left unfinished and Christmas time has arrived and as always - I'm not ready for it. But that's the story of my life- When the Good Lord says, "Come on, Martha - time to go home", I"m going to be saying, "But, I'm not READY"" and I'm afraid that's the truth! Check the Bulletin, and the stores have lots of GREAT bargains. Try to catch them; Love, Martha.

This was the recent warning issued by Wingham town cauncll as they had their first look at the proposed budget for 1962 The buffet, prepared by the general gaverninent and planning committee, projects a rise in speeding to $1.9 -million nest year from $1.6$-milliDn this year, an increase of 16 per cent. To meet that roue, however, property taxes would have to rise by 22 per cent 10 $1.9 million, a jump that some councillors objected is en- tirely too much to swallow.
