Located about half a mile north of Dashwood, Mr. Walper's Golden Sunset Ranch has everything necessary "to get away from it all". The shed on the 30 -acre farm has been converted into comfortable indoor relax- ation quarters and many colorful ornaments have been erected outdoors to create interest. Among them is an ancient dinner bell purchased by auc- tioneer Alvin at the farm sale for Mr. and Mrs, John Heckman. union. What? Every room in the house is rented all summer? Well? Money is thicker than blood, obviously." No, that's not the idea. Not at all. We don't want to im- pose on .anyone. We just want a quiet little place, perferably air conditioned, that will sleep three (maybe four, as Hugh still has his hand in a cast), with free parking, not more than ten minutes from Expo, Bayview Golf Club DINING ROOM Ful!

DEITZ and SON DIAL, 236-4951 ZURICH LEND ME YOUR HOUSE I'm deeply hurt. I've been waiting, eyes shining, cheeks glowing, mind agog, to see who was going to invite us to stay at their place while we visited Expo, Nothing. Not a whisper. Not a murmur. Not a wire. Not even a long-distance call, col- lect. Everybody else I know has a deal, of sone kind. This one has relatives who are going to What's $118 million? That's what it cost Canadians for the operation of the CBC last year. The beginning of color tele- casting and increased expendi- tures for centennial programs were cited as part of the reason. The cost of the CBC has been editorialized many times. There's no point in going over it. If the CBC was owned by Canadian General Electric, Gen- eral Motors, Famous Players, Lord Thomson or Mr. X, it wouldn't lose millions. They would make millions with it. Every Canadian should write his 'MP advising the govern- ment to sell the CBC to a prof- it-making organization. The CBC is asking for over $143 million for 1967-68. Will we give it to them? Certainly. We're stupid! b Two specials showed up in the latest U.S. Nielsen ratings. First position went to "You're in Love Charlie Brown", and "The Steve A 11 e n Comedy Hour" placed 7th, Andy Griffith was number two, with Dean Martin placing third. Family Affair was 4th, with Bonanza number five, and Gomer Pyle in 6th spot. The Lucy Show was 8th, with The Smothers Brothers num- ber nine. Tuesday Night at the Movies was 10th and Red Skel- ton and Saturday Night at the Movies were tied for llth pos- ition, turn over their apartment for two weeks in August, when they go on vacation. That one is going to stay with her moth- er's uncle's cousin's son while his wife has her fourteenth child in hospital. Another friend has a brother who is a big buyer for a big department store. The brother has been offered a suite of rooms at a posh motel for a week, by a big supplier of things to the big department store. Both brothers are going, with their wives. This is known as public relations. We'd even settle for some private relations. The Telegram, which dis- penses this column, has not said: "We'd like you to take your family to Expo for a week. All expenses. Do a couple of columns from there," No, all they've said is, "Your column was late again last week." Pierre Berton is going to spend two week with his fam- ily, at Expo, in his boat. I haven't even got a rowboat, and if I had, I don't think we'd make it before freeze-up. I must be fair and admit we've had a couple of invita- tions to park our trailer, via Christmas cards. One was from my sister, who is about 100 miles from Expo. The other was from old buddy Gene Mac- donal, who is only "an hour from Expo", probably as the jet flies. Only trouble is, we don't have a trailer, and I don't suppose there's one left for hire in the whole country. Next year will be a great year to buy used trailers. Now, I haven't anything grand or glorious in mind. All I was thinking about was some- body who perhaps has an apart- ment in .Montreal and a chalet in the Laurentians. If they were at the chalet, we'd be per- fectly happy to look after their apartment in the city. And if they wanted to come back to the mug and muck •of the city and Expo for a week, in all that heat, we'd be delighted to let them have the apartment, while we looked after the chalet. What could be fairer than that? It isn't - as though we wanted to come busting- in on our relatives in Montreal, even if we had any, and say, "Sorry we couldn't make it for the last 12 years, but we just couldn't resist coming to see you this year, for a Centennial Year re - las NOi10E TO THE Ratepayers of Stanley Township Since the village of Zurich has refused to accept the offer from the Township of Stanley regarding retaining fees for Fire Protection, the Township of Stanley requests the ratepayers in the south- west portion of the Township to call either: Bayfield Fire Department Dial 565-2626 OR Brucefield Fire Department Dial 482-7133 Both fire departments carry an extra supply of water for rural fires; and will go anywhere within a matter of minutes, regardless of agreements, Connell of the Township of Stanley THURSDAY JULY 20, 1967 with maid service. Free. Nothing elaborate. Nothing ostentatious. Just a simple lit- tle place to lay our heads and cook our meals and make lunches and burn holes in the chesterfield and have all our relatives in. Just something like home. We wouldn't stay all sum, mer, you know. Kist has to be hone Sundays to play the or- gan at church. And Hugh has to be home every two weeks to have his finger re -broken, re- set, re -encased in a cast. (I think he's found his life's work.) • Besides, my wife doesn't want to go to Expo. She shud- ders at crowds, heat, sore feet. She says she wouldn't sleep a wink. She says we can't afford it. (That's what she said last summer, and a week later we were on a plane for Vancouver.
