Here auc- From up here by Shelley McPhee "Oh it's so humid out." "I wish it wouldn't get so cold at nights, my tomatoes will be ruined." "If we don't get some rain soon, everything will dry up. "It looks as if the barbecue's off for tonight if this rain doesn't let up." After listening to various complaints and comments on the weather I've come to the conclusion that people really must despise our elemental disciple of nature. Likewise, the weather seems to try every possible trick it knows to absolutely ruin people's lives. From January to March, in what seemed to be 16 in- stead of three months, we suffered the pain and agonies of the great white wonder and only lived through the winter with the hope and optimism of spring. However, with the arrival of the warmer weather, people suddenly turn pessimistic. Now they find that it's too hot out and the warm weather makes them just as crabby as the cold did. Instead of suffering through the agonies of facing the cold outdoors, people must now tend with the tortures of walking out from their cool houses or air conditioned offices into the glaring sun and blistering heat. The troublesome snow machines, which never ran properly all winter, must now be discarded while the dismal chore of cleaning the pool begins. While ladies complained allwinter. that they had no warm sweaters or proper boots to wear, they soon realize that they have no cool shorts or light sandals for their summer attire. The children who lavished the thought of getting a day off school due to stormy weather become restless and anxious to get back to classes as the end of summer draws nearer. The farmers who anxiously awaited the planting of their crops in the spring suddenly hate their job when it comes time to harvest their crops in all the summer heat. The list of summer complaints can go on and on, but one lucky thing about summer, or unlucky to others, is that it only seems to last two, weeks compared to winter. At the present time, scientists are working on a series of satellites and mirrors that can be used to divert the sun into giving 24 hours of daylight. Maybe they should also try to regulate the temperature to nice medium that will please everyone. No matter how much of a burden the weather seems to be, it's a very necessary part of our social life. It's probably the most popular conversation piece for us and can always be used to become acquainted with a stranger. It's one factor that we all have in common and often must deal with as a group, as was clearly seen last winter. ttesides, it's a worthy topic to write a column about. p, tioneers Richard Lobb (back to camera) and Ron Gethke (on boards) take bids on the lumber, that was cleaned and stacked by volunteers recently.

Donald Alexander Dolmage, 23, was found in the bathtub of a cabin he and his bride of a few days, Patricia MacDonald of Clinton, had rented at the Cozy Pines Motel. The investigators, from the Albert,,a government's electrical protection branch, spent four days looking into the death. They said the incident was "very unusual:" Bill de Gaust, technical and field supervisor for the branch, said Friday it appears a 105 -volt charge' of electricity from another cabin at the motel was conducted, to the Dolmage unit by a sewer pipe. He said it is impossible to determine exactly what happened, but said a charge could have passed through the bathtub drain and taps simultaneously He said the charge appears to have Flower bearers were Robert Lince, a cousin from St. Marys, Keith Heimpel from Sebringville, Roberti Knott from Stratford and Howard Edwards from Clinton. - Separate teachers...... favourable position regarding the (continued on page 1 benefits offered to our teaching staff, as represents an increased cost to well as an attractive grid for future board of $213,425 for the school year. employees."
