There's nothing qu°te as re-
laxed and indolent as the life
of a school teacher in those two
long, golden months of summer,
Eight glorious weeks: A little
golf, a little swimming, a little
fishing; a lot of picnics and
cook -outs and long, cold drinks;
unlimited time to read and girls
in shorts to ogle.
It's a picture I paint for my-
self in clear outlines, in cool
pastel shades, every June. But
somehow the finished canvas
isn't quite • what I had in mind.
The outline blurs, the colors
change into violent reds, yel-
lows and purples, and we come
up with some thing resembling
a drunken rainbow that has
been struck by lightning.
This summer has been no ex -
caption. It started off in typi-
cal fashion with a racking dose
of food poisoning that left me
about as hearty as a lady of 80
who has just given birth to qua-
druplets. I was so weak that
the cat, who has been watching
her chance for years, stuck out
a foot as I was tottering toward
my lawn chair, and tripped me
flat on my face.
Barely over this, I had to
drive the family 700 miles into
the U.S. on the July 4 week -end
to dump young Hugh at a sum-
mer music school. But it wasn't
the mileage that got me down.
It was the list of instructions
issued to the kid by his mother.
If they'd been written out,
they'd have covered a sheet of
paper for every mile we travel-

BLUEWATER and BAYFIELD NEWS
(Mrs. Russell Grainger, Correspondent)
Mr, and Mrs. Ardell. Grainger, Mr. and Mrs, Jack Scotehmer
Wallaceburg, and Mr. Robert
Grainger, London, were week-
end visitors with Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Grainger and family.

led, and they could have been
rememberd only by a herd of
elephants.
I didn't blame her, 'though.
It isn't that the kid is stupid.
It's just that he's a teen-ager
and lives in that peculiar world
inhabited by that peculiar spe-
cies. In the week before we
left, he had lost: his wallet, his
running shoes, and a dollar bill
(which turned up in the wash-
ing machine). That was an
average week.
Imagine going away and leav-
ing that gormless gawk of a boy
on his own, for three weeks,
with 10 different places to be at
definite .times every day; with
money to handle all by himself;
with nobody to find all the
things he'll lose; and with his
way to find all the way home
by bus.
We weren't
much comforted
as we left him. He climbed out
of the car, saying, "Yes, O.K.
won't forget. Uh-huh. Right.
Yup.", as a last-minute torrent
of verbal directions poured at
him. He took his bag, waved,
and started up the steps of the
boarding house next door to the
one we had just registered him
in. I doubt if we'll ever see the
boy again. He'll start for home
and wind up in Tibet.
Got home from that jaunt just
long enough to do the washing,
repack the suitcases and head
for summer school. Arrived a
bit shaky after giving myself a
small farewell party and was
immediately asked to read a
poem to a group of intense Eng-
glish teachers.
After summer school, we rush
Kim to camp, then hike for the
old home town to put out the
paper for two weeks while the
editor goes on his honeymoon.
Then scramble for home, collect
Kim from camp, entertain
friends in relays for a week be-
fore hurtling off to newspaper
convention, which is about as
easy- on a fellow physically, as
breaking wild mustangs with a
slipped disc. End of summer.
End of "holidays".
Anyone know of a job where
they give you four months va-
cation? If I could find one, I
might manage to squeeze in a
couple of games of golf, or a
day's fishing.
and Mr. and Mrs, Charles
Scotchmer spent Tuesday to
Friday in Toronto, as the guests
of Mr, and Mrs, Robert Hamp-
ton, and attended the Lions
convention being held in that
city.
Mr. and Mrs, Russell Grainger
visited their daughter and son-
in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Deichert, Scarborough, and at-
tended the Lions convention on
Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Grainger
received word on Wednesday of
the passing of their brother-in-
law, D. H. Johnson, in Portland,
Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
visited relatives here in Octo-
ber, 1961, and spoke to the
Lions Club in Zurich at that
time He was chief of police of
Portland, Oregon.

Two groups have offered the
CBC $36,000 for the "Pearson"
film. It only cost the public
$35,000—so come on boys, sell
it. The people have a right to
see it!
CBS did an excellent docu-
mentary recently on the great
Republican conventions. Films
showed some dramatic mo-
ments, such as the 1952 Taft -
Eisenhower battle, and the 1920
convention, including the fam-
ous "smoke-filled room" where
Harding was nominated. Ex-
cerpts from speeches made by
Coolidge, Dewey, Hoover, Hard-

were featured. It will be the
