Stanbury" -Armstrong Treable - with' precocious child ran is that they leara to read at an early age. Our Stisan is no ex- ception, She gets most of her out- landish ideas :aid insistent ques- tions from her :hobit of pwsuing every newspaper and magazine that comes into the house. She was lying on her fat little stomach recently, reading . a na- tional Magazine, when she let a holler out of her. We had all been aware of 'the fact she was not too pleased !about _plans for her birthday celebration, Adults in the family thought it a splen- did v idea to take the. nurrierous school mates a little girl invites' to her eighth birthday party, to • the • church tee her mother was convening. ..No fuss, no dishes; enough cake and ice: cream to sat- isfy the bottomless pits of most children's stomachs and a few ex- tra dollars to boot for the church coffers. But Sue had spotted an item in the magazine relating the won- derful 'inspiration a father had had for the birthday party of his own offspring. '"A train ride with all the trimmiegs", she squealed. Su- san was enchanted and not the least non plussed when she was told any such plan would curtail her guest list drastically. Instead she informed us she had some "very special friends" whom she would invite. They were finally reduced to three and when added to the fa- mily group it appeared that -six youngsters would mark Susan's natal day- in a big way. She chose a trip to Santa Claus Village in lqueltoka Ont., a little more than a hundred miles from home, base. This just nicely let father's wallet under -the wire for group 'travel, only it wasn't' father as it turned, out who conducted the tour. With mother committed to keep the wheels turning smoothly at the parish hall tea and a telegram instructing father to report At .head office in. the United. States, it. fell to my lot to see that six lively., youngsters travelled safely, ate wisely and enjoyed themselves, for ten solid hours. Even I was a little excited as we hoarded the train early that morning late in May. Susan had made onother concessions she had allowed her brother,. eldest of the family trio,. to. ask 'a friend of his to the patlyssalour little girls in fluffy gingham •dressee, demurely clutching pastel sweaters in their tiny gloved hands and two small boys, all spit and polish,. trying Union Gas Company Reports Increases Sales and Profits Union Gas Company of Canada, Limited recorded a "substantial improvement" in many important aspects of its 'business during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1960. This was revealed in the Com- pany's -armual report which was released last Friday. Despite a winter in which aver- age temperatures were somewhat milder than thdie during the pre- vious winter, profit and volume and value of gas sold were high- er than in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1959. \ This was. due primarily to an increase of 9,971 in the number of customers serv- ed which brought the March 31, 1960 total to 173,299. According to the report—Which consolidates the figures of Union company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Ontario Natural Gas Storage' and Pipelines Limited— net profit increased by $348.308 'to $3,118;828. Volume of gas sold rose by 5:7 billion cubic feet (22 percent) to approximately 81 bil- lion cubic feet, while gross re- venue from gas sales increased by $4.5 million (18 percent) to $29.6 million. Due largely to the increasing use of gas for heating purposes, the peak day sendout of gas rose to 264,4 million cubic feet. ThiS was almost 20 million cubic feet greater than the 1958-59 peak. Also because of the greater heat- ing load, gas use pet residential customer rose from 105.6 MCP' to 107 IVICF, Total costs, exclusive of income taxes, increased $4.2 million, from $21.6 million in the 1058-59 fiscal year to $25,8 million in the fiscal year just completed. Estimated Mamie taxes were also up—from $2.9 milliori to $8.1 million. Diking the' 1959-60 fiscal year, Union Gas for the first time paid divider-Ids on preference sham for a fall year (the preference share ee having been issued towaecta the close of the previous fiscal year). As a result, the lartiaant paid out in preference Share dividends Was substantially higher during the fte.eal year just completed, For this reason, and despite the fact net profits 'mete up, earnings applicable •to eatnnion shares Were 60 mane per share, 4.5 compared to 61 cents per Share in the prior &tall year. to act as though 'a train ride was an every clay occurrence in their young lives, attracted( the attera tien of the CNTS conductor. I'll never be able to guess from whence he produced a chocolate bar and balloon for each child, but he seemed to sense 'Ibis was a very special occasion. - When we arrived at our destine-, Lion, Susan informed me in 'a superior way that none of them believed in Santa Claus, When she said 'they would much rather climb the huge rocks outside the village and "explore" I felt I had "been taken", by a scheming miss', This was more than I had bar- gained for, keeping watch over six adventurers. It has 'always been a pity we cannot "see ourselves as others' see us".. I Must have been a' picture that warm' day. Burdened with seven has lunches (eoertesy of the church tea), a bulky ceat, three little girls' discarded sweaters, two blue flannel blazers . (boy's size ten), a purse with the pro- portions of ,suitcase and, of all stupid things, an umbrella, I trail-. ed those wild Indians from rock to rock and stump to. stump. .,I was full of fear that they might' get lost, for the Muskoka bush seems very wild to a city slicker. When they became bored with their game of "Run Sheep Run", they decided to settle for Santa's Village after all.. I was greatly relieved. There, I felt, I could control their wanderings. Then we discovered we were too early 'for the opening of this playground curiosity for children.. At this juncture nature took over. Their legs' -were exhausted and their stomachs empty.. This relieved me of the burden" of lunch boxes and gave' me just enough of a breather to gain strength to dabble a small towel insa nearby spring and wash six dirty little mugs. Going back later in the after- noon; we were all happy to find sufficient room in the train coach to pillow our tired heads and sup- port our aching limbs. They look- ed like little angels as they slept, mussed' 'a bit but Nappy. One of their number, however, never closed a winker. Susan sat wide- eyed watching the landscape slip by her coach window, and sigh- ing over and over again, "This was my most beautiful birthday, ever.."
