No bicycles lean against the store fronts or weave through the streets; no splashing emanates from the swimming pools; and the playgrounds are deserted. Then I remember September has arrived and school has started. Some kids welcome the beginning of school, but few admit it. Most youngsters are already counting the days until their Christmas vacations. Meanwhile the harried mothers greet September with sighs of relief. Gone are the days of trying to answer the complaint, "What can I do now, mommie?" The last minute rush to buy school clothes and shoes, notebooks, pencil cases, pens, pencils and erasers is over. The back-to-school sale signs are disappearing from the shop windows, Besides the pupils, September brings the teachers back to the schools. Many teachers enroll in summer courses and become students for a few weeks. When they enter the classrooms this month, though, there's no con- fusion. Everyone knows who the teachers are and who the students are. Routines change in September. The families with school age children can't travel as freely as they did in the summertime. Their trips are restricted to week-end jaunts. For the kids, the visits to. the playgrounds or the baseball diamonds must wait until after four o'clock on weekdays. Mothers quickly revert to the schedule of a school day, In the morning, they scurry to get the kids away on time. Some mothers pack lunches at night or in the morning. Others prepare a hot meal at noon. When the clock strikes one, they shoo the children off to school again, Around four o'clock, they listen for the slam of the back door. Then they hear the reports, good or bad, of the day's activities, The kids usually play outdoors before and after supper. As dusk falls, another struggle begins for the mothers - convincing the youngsters they must go to bed early. The men and women, who drive buses, also follow a familiar pattern. Over the country roads, the buses roll twice a day. In a week or two, we'll be able to set our watches according to the passing of a bus. The roar of the vehicle isn't the only sound we The annual Festival of Flowers was held recently in the Kirkton- Woodham Community Centre with a beautiful array of flowers. The entries were judged by Mrs. Pauline Richards of London. Susan Van der Speck sang a solo and Bonnie Norris favoured with a step dance at the evening program. Mrs. Jean Durst of Seaforth demonstrated the drying of flowers and showed and ex- plained several arrangements she had made. Prizes were presented to the winner with the most points. Mrs. Tom Hem of Zion was the winner with the most points 106, followed by Mrs. Gordon Lang of Staffa with 74 and Mrs. Norman Brock, Exeter 54. hear. Laughter and chatter usually drift through the windows as the bus trundles by. Students, teachers, bus drivers and families with school age children, aren't the only ones affected by the back-to-school days. Everyone notices a change, when September arrives. We miss the kids in the stores, on the streets and in the parks. When we're driving, we note with greater caution the school signs. We often stop for a bus, which has its red signals flashing. We also realize the back-to- school days herald the approach of a new season. Summer is almost over and autumn will Soon begin. The back-to-school days are only the first signs of fall. The following Saturday two bus loads of members took a tour to Brantford. They visited the Bell Homestead and had their lunch on the beautiful grounds. The next stop was at the Mohawk Chapel the oldest Protestant Church in Canada. At the Civic Centre a flower show sponsored by the Brantford Garden Club was in progress. The Theme of the show was "The Bell Story"with achronological record of the life of Alexander Graham Bell depicted in flowers. There were beautiful flowers and imaginative arrangements. The Garden Club supplied a guide for the buses and a visit was made to Lorne Park, Glenhyrst Park and Mohawk Park. gle414 7440‘44if Granton United Church, Friday evening August 16, was decorated with deep pink candles and baskets of deep pink and white gladiola with white mums and pink carnations for the marriage of Lynda Jane Thomson and Peter John Blom.
