Zurich Citizens News, 1967-07-20, Page 2PAGE TWO mel i NW aiW She Who Laughs Last How many time have you heard men telling jokes and making deri- sive remarks about the handbags that ladies carry nowadays? Prob- ably too numerous to recall — and based mainly on the multitude of articles those many -typed carry -alts contain. We're all through making cracks about the satchels. sacks, brief cases and other items of luggage that pass for handbags nowadays. A few days of mid -summer weather and the shoe is on the other foot—the light has gone on—and we're all set for hand- bags for men! Take a look at milday on a warm day. She swings along the street in the lightest of sacks (no, not the handbag variety) , bare arms, bare back, sometimes bare legs, taking ad- vantage of every cool breeze that meets and follows her. All the trinkets, aids to beauty, and per- sonal things she requires are handily jumbled into one container which she either tucks under her elbow or slings over a shoulder. Now, picture if you will her oppos- ite in society as he tries hard to sur- vive on a hot day. If he favors the weather, he is stripped to his shirt with only one little pocket to per- form the carrying chores of the jacket he has previously been wear- ing. If he is like most men we know, his pants pockets have been holed for several weeks and totally unfit for service. So, our friend must either leave half his equipment be- hind, or try to tuck into the shirt pocket a packet of cigarettes, spec- tacles, sun glasses, matches, billfold, handkerchief, pen -knife, a couple of rings of keys, pens, pencils, coin purse, and yes, even the letters he forgot to mail! Of course he can take all these things if he wants to make like a plainsman and don the jacket—and to blazes with the 95 -degree temper- ature! Women, the silly things, some- times they make sense after all! Five la handbag !— (Grenfell (Sask.) Sun) Why Not Success ? From time to time in this modern society of ours, one hears disparag- ing remarks made about larger busi- nesses and their proprietors whose efforts have been attended with some measure of success: .Although most listeners to such critical remarks are aware the speakers' voices are tinged with more than a slight amount of jealousy, it might be as well to re- flect for a moment on some of the businesses to be found in most any prairie community. The majority of businessmen to- day are far from being feudal barons, with vast estates handed down to them—they have, in the main, start- ed their own firms and have known, together with their families, the vicissitudes of fortune. Most of them started their business careers -with a small amount of capital, if any, and gradually added to their services as conditions and finances permitted. Critics who point to the properties owned by some businessmen might consider just what those tangibles mean to the community itself—the taxes deposited annually in the civic coffers as well as the families of workers supported. Then there is the point of community growth. Take the major business properties from any of our towns and the trav- ellers would class them only as set- tlements. In building up substantial business enterprises, merchants are probably making greater contributions to their communities — than they could by any other means. Most people are wont to point with pride to early residents of prairie towns and the works they accomplished. Similar recognition should be accorded the builders of today who are investing in expansions and construction pro- grams monies they might otherwise cream off for their own personal pleasures.— (GrenfellSun) Exercise Caution With school holidays and general vacation time at hand, it might be advisable to review some of the few hazards which await those fortunate enough to be called vacationists. First is our old friend poison ivy, an innocent looking leafy plant found in many a shady glade, which can turn nights into nightmares and send you scratchin' like the family poodle. Don't touch it! Then, of course, there's an old and reliable recipe for sleepless nights— a bright new coat of sunburn. With weather the way it has been for the past two years there is possibly little danger of such a burn occurring, but you had better be prepared for the worst. Getting to your vacation spot may be fraught with danger, too—as you drive along the highways and by- ways. You will live a lot longer if you remember not to take chances and consider that you are looking out for yourself and the other fellow at the same time. Now, if you are holidaying near water, you are getting into the real clanger zone. Boatin' and swimmin' each year take quite a toll of human life. Don't take chances or fool about while riding in boats, particu- larly in rough water. To be on the safe side, put safety jackets on all the family, before they get in the boat. Don't let the little ones go be- yond their depth while swimming —and don't head for a cooling dip yourself too soon after a hefty help- ing of pork chops. It may be your last.—(Grenfell (Sask.) Sun) ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY JULY 20, 1967 Senior Citizens Not All Covered With OMSIP; Two Types of Assistance Senior citizens receiving a pension are not necessarily au- tomatically covered by OMSIP. There are two types of gov- ernment pension a senior citi- zen may receive. These are Old Age Assistance and Old Age Security. Persons who receive Ald Age Assistance from the govern - Ment •of Ontario are automati- cally provided with free OMSIP coverage and they receive an OMSIP registration -card. If they have not received it, they should contact their social worker regarding eligibility for free OMSIP coverage. Persons who receive Old Age Security (Old Age Pension) from the government of Canada must make application directly to OMSIP for a Standard Medical Services Insurance Contract. BEST CENTENNIAL FLOAT — There were many floats representing scenes of 100 years ago, in the big parade on Saturday at Hensall's cen- tennial celebration. This entry, spon- sored by the Institute, was as it made its complete with ning wheel. From My Window To be a truly fine writer, they say, one must be inspired. I'm wondering now how it is possi- ble to be inspired when one must cope with the antics of a one -year-old hurricane, a nine- year-old Greta Garbo and an 11 - year -old writhing, twisting, jab- bering male mod kook all in the course of one day, every day. I'm supposed to be on holi- days, you know. To date, I've had exactly 15 minutes of free "do -as -I -like" time. Every wak- ing second of my fleeting vaca- tion is spent mopping pablum off the ceiling and 'playing hostess to a stream of school chums who frequent our frig, our record player and our bath- room under the pretense of visiting. Not that I mind, really. I love my kids and most of their friends. It's just that I love me, too, and would like to have some time to spend all alone with myself, just savouring the satisfaction of solitude. What amazes me is •that few people seem to understand this need of mine to be alone, at least some of the time. Casually, one day, I men- tioned to an acquaintance that I can enjoy my kids just as much when they are away from me. What I meant was I could be a loving mother even though the three of them were five blocks away for an our or two. What my friend thought I meant was that I'd be much happier, perhaps, if I didn't Application for premium assis- tance may be made at the same time. Premium assistance is avail- able to any Ontario resident who has lived in the province 12 months and depends on his taxable income. Taxable in- come is the reduced amount of money on which tax is paid after taking off any exemptions for dependents (spouse) etc., and other exemptions (medical expenses, charitable donations). Application forms for OMSIP are available at any chartered bank or at the Medical Services Insurance Division, 135 St. Clair Avenue, West.

Some people regard it next to a criminal offense for a mother to hint or suggest that she grows weary of her own offspring. Immediately, these folks retort something like, "Why did you have a family, then?" or "They're you kids. So look after them." To send your youngsters out for a long walk is recognized by some as the sinister be- havior of an uncaring mother. Hiring a baby sister for an eve- ning is only an inch short of the monstrous habit of leaving a family of youthful dependants in the care of an aunt and uncle for a week -end or several days. "Nobody can look out for a child like its own mother," say the stubborn types who still doubt that electricity is here to stay. But I'm a radical. Along with hundreds of other mothers and fathers who know the sheer joy of being "childless' for short periods, I believe that it is as good for the children as for the parents to be separated now and again. I contend that time away from cradle and pea- nut butter and jelly is probably more valuable to the young mother than a liver shot at the hands of a reputable doctor. What's more, I'm convinced that most medics and all child care authorities would agree that adoring parents and happy kiddies can remain closely knit family units throughout regu- lar, occasional partings, one Kippen East Women's judged to be the best way along the streets, an old-fashioned spin - Huron County Crop Report Most crops are now growing satisfactorily in Huron County, although there is a great vari- ation in the progress of corn, white beans and cereals in dif- ferent areas. Oats and barley heads are filling well, Some lodging has occurred. Almost daily showers con- tinue to hold up the storing of quality hay. Uractically all alfalfa is now in full bloom and grass species have become more mature than desirable. Where control of leaf hop- pers on white beans is neces- sary, several suitable chemicals are listed in "1967 Field Crop Recommendations", Publication 296, available at Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and Food offices. Where applied, most recom- mended chemical weed killers have done a very effective job this year, from the other. Come to think of it, I don't know how women retained their sanity before the idea of baby- sitters revolutionized mother- hood. In fact, if I had to choose between my babysitter and my husband, the decision would rest entirely on the happenings of the preceeding hours with my trio of healthy, energetic bundles of childish enthusiasm.
