Lord Snowdon gave up his job
us a professional photographer
when as Antony Armstrong-
Jones, according to the editor of
Debrett, he became the first com-
moner to marry into the British
Royal Family in 457 years. He
has since taken an unpaid job as
artistic adviser to the Design
Council, a state-sponsored organ-
ization to promote good design
in British indhstry and manu-
facture.
The new appointment carries
a salary. The amount has . not
been officially announced,
though Fleet Street is busy specu-
lating on the figure. Lord Snow-
don will not be expected to keep
office hours, and his duties will
not interfere with official en-
gagements.
The color section announced
by the Sunday Timis, though
well - known in American jour-
nalism, represents a new devel-
opment in England.
It is so novel in fact that it
has already run into trouble with
the retailers and the newspaper
sellers. The latter object to the
extra. weight. The former are
quibbling over the pay for extra
work involved in putting the two
publications together, since they •
come to them from different

Folks Stay Away
Just Like In Ontario
To hear granite-ribbed New
Englanders tell it, the town
meeting remains as staunch as
Yankee frugality, as sacred as
the flag on, the Fourth of July.
Sacred it may be, among local
historians and starry-eyed artists
like Norman Rockwell, but
staunch it no longer is — at
least in the state of Maine.
"Town meetings are poorly at-
tended, manipulated by minor-
ities, unrepresentative of the
community, and cumbersome to
the point of rendering town gov-
ernment unresponsive," reports
a Bowdoin College study releas-
ed recently. Analyzing the town-
manager system, the Maine col-
lege's bureau •for research in
municipal government says:
"The farcical nature of 'the town
meeting is accentuated in the
towns with over 5,000 popula-
tion. A sampling of their town-'
meeting attendance for the past
five years revealed that only one
attracted as many as 15 per cent
of the potential voters. The rest
had to be content with much
less."
Modern complexities in local
government, of course, have
forced many a Maine commun-
ity — even though annual town
meetings are still convened — to
switch important decisions to
either elected officials or ap-
pointed town managers, This
evolution is inevitable, But the
likes of Daniel Webster would
no doubt grieve at what time
has wrought.
Well, we have had quite a
session! Our daughter and her
family were moving from one
house to another in the Pa.e-
dale area left week and wanted
to know if we would have the
two smaller boys here on Fri-
day and Saturday to keep them
out of the way while the mov-
ing van was there. Of course we
agreed willingly. So they came
out Friday night and when it
was bedtime they settled down
without any trouble at all and
slept right through the night.
It was Saturday morning when
the fun began. Overnight we got
our first heavy' snowfall of the
winter. Two of our , neighbours
were taking their children to-
bogganing and wanted our two
boys to go along with them.
Eddie was quite willing but
Jerry was far too occupied and
wanted to stay home with me.
So that's what happened. Eddie
and Grandpa went with the
neighbours and Jerry spent two
whole hours trotting up and
down stairs with logs for the
fireplace — carrying them from
a pile downstairs to the chimney
nook 'in the living room. Their
mother had t o 1 d me they
wouldn't need much looking af-
ter Saturday morning as they
would sit and watch television
hour after hour if they were al-
lowed to. So I turned on the TV
but they were not the least bit
interested. Which goes to sleety
that if there are active counter
attractions TV doesn't really
have such a hypnotic effect upon
children as we somelMes are
led to believe.
We all had a rest after lunch
following which the two of teem
amused themselves in the base-
ment again. Grandpa's tools were
a great attraction. They, were
allowed the use of a small ham-
mer, nails and a hacksaw, with
plenty of odds, and. ends or weed
to play around with, and I'm
telling you, they were two busy
boys for the rest of the after-
noon. It was nine o'clock before
Mother and Dad came along to
take them and' by that time we
were all a little on the tired
side.
The deep snow made it an
awful day to be moving. Dee had
been busy all week cleaning the
hardwood floors. She might bet-
ter have left them alone as you
can imagine what they looted'
like by the time the movers had
finished tramping in and out.

False Hair-Wigs
