A PERSONAL CENTENNIAL PROJECT —
1 in Walper, the congenial auctioneer from Dash-
wood, has always wanted to own a cool, green hide-
away where he and his wife and their frends can
relax, His Centennial project during 1967 was to
transform his property acquired from Aaron Reste-
rneyer into a quiet paradise as far from the high-
way and the commotion as possible. 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.

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),

than ten minutes from Expo,

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!

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

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 -

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,

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.
Our fly -now pay -later plan will
soon be paid for)
