Mums decorate churches,
honeymoon on west coast
Walking down the sidewalks of
town this week, I wonder,
"Where are all the kids?" 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,

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.
