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- Coulftup yowe SAVINGS ...take* text strop kime!' ASSORTED Kool-Aid, pre-sweetened _ 5/49c 32 OZ.

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. Sunday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Graing- er included: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ryan and Susan; Rev. and Mrs. George Gordier, London; Mrs, Jenny Donnelly, Port Credit; Miss Marion Donnelly, Toronto; Mrs. Jennie Downie, Strathroy; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Chapman and Joanne, Goderich; Mr. and Mrs, Bert Dunn, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dunn and Wayne, Mr. and Mrs, Richard Erb, Karen and David, Bayfield; Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hamilton, Exeter; Wayne Horner, Zurich; Robert Graing- er, London; Mr. and Mrs. Ardell Grainger, Wallaceburg.

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. 0 Television Views 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- ing, Landon, Wilkie and others were featured.
