The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1963-08-29, Page 13SUGAR AND SPICE Dispensed by Smiley We'll tecorc.. him . By the time this appears in print, I hope to be lolling ar- rogantly beside the saltwater swimming pool at the.Manoir Richelieu, one of Canada's most lush hideaways for worn-out Millionaires and tired-out weekly newspaper editors. Both will be gathered there this week, the former trying to regain their lost health, the latter trying to ruin theirs, at their annual convention. At the Moment of writing, it's merely a hope. Between here and, there lies a nightmare of car, rail and boat travel, with a wife and two children. I have no doubt whatever that the journey will be an un- forgettable horror composed of car trouble, missed trains, sea- sickness, forgotten brassieres, mislaid baggage checks, fur- ious wife, and lost children. This is the way we always tra- vel. * * As usual at our place, the kids and I have taken the pre- parations for attending this con- vention with admirable calm, while my wife has been sewing and ironing and swearing softly since the first of July. I swear she'd need three years' advance notice should we ever decide to go to Europe for a month. What really baffles her is the unpredictability of the good old Canadian weather. Late August can be reeking hot, cold and clammy, or brisk and breezy. Figure three changes of clothes a day for three pos- sible climates, for four people, for seven days, and you have the measure of her misery. This week, while she stews at home, getting ready I'm at a slightly different type of con- vention. It's a gathering of schoolteachers. Oh, there are similarities. You wear a name badge at each. You eat meals at each. There are receptions at each. Each has a key word. "dedication" at this one and "grass-roots" at the news- paper one. There are inter- minable uplifting speeches at each. But what a difference in the details! At our first evening HOW TO PUT A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD with our money .
