This column is a difficult one to write, For the past two weeks there have been visitors in this home with little time for thought, reading, research, or consideration of what would go into it. It will be scrambled, Of sheer necessity it will contain happenings of those two weeks. It can only be asked thatou will forgive the personal nature of some of what is written. Sex, publicly displayed in 'so many circumstances, and in so many ways, is so common it has become boring, even nau- seous, to many people. What once was never discussed, seldom written about, never pictured on paper or screen, is now fodder for public discussion and display. Many books give vivid descriptions of what used to be a private expression of love, or lurid details of acts of depravity. Sex is a vital fact of life. It is no wonder that, with all the publicity about it, young people, even those of the impression- able years of fourteen and fifteen, or younger, consider it permissible. About the two sneakiest words in our language today is "plus tax." We take (wig. reluctance) the increased cost of things but when plus tax is added there is a definite feeling of resentment. Governments will pilfer our pockets! This home underwent a transformation the past two weeks. There was no longer just my dog and I. This place came alive with two granddaughters, and two young great- grandchildren to chase away the quiet and normal routine. The dog was ecstatic, frolicking, free of leash, at the heels of the visitors, My five-year-old blond pixie great- granddaughter shattered the illusion that this home had been thoroughly swept and polished before their arrival. She came dancing into the kitchen where her mother and,I were enjoying our morning coffee, greeted me with a hug and a kiss, then with a tilt of her head and a sly smile said "You have a spiderweb in your house." That, after wearing glasses, every corner in the house had been carefully examined and swept to be sure there were no webs, It is suspected a concealed spider watches the demolishment of it with a smirking sneer and sets to work on another as soon as I am out of sight. The beaches of Lake Huron attract members of this family like a magnet, When they Were mere infants they spent some time with us there each summer and it is still the first place they want to go when here in the summer. So, it was off to some beach or another every favorable day, sometimes with grandma along. Other times rest and quiet, or a chance to do something easier accomplished with others away, was needed. The two-year-old great-grandson is a sturdy, active little fellow with a will of his own. One minute he would be close by but when you turned around he was gone, across the mad, half -a -block away. Last week my eldest grandson and his wife arrived to spend a couple of days with me. My younger granddaughter had to leave in the middle of the first week and her sister and her children left last Friday with her brother for Ottawa, Having some members of my family here made it a happy time for me. Mothers, have you tried this on your teenaged daughter? Tell her, when she is about to drop a load of dresses, shorts, tops, etc. into the laundry basket "Those are wash and wear things, That means the one who wears them washes them."
