A month or two of swank- ing around on holidays and a big salary, like them, and I'd probably be willing to go back to the salt mines without too much fuss. But seven whole days in the Elysian fields are as fatal to my morale as seven ounces of straight rye to a confirmed member of AA. I'm real gone. R's not the actual routine I find so depressing, it's the comparison. A week ago tonight I was sitting in a posh nitery in the city, bathed in the glow of candlelight, arhong other things. A chanteuse, direct from Paris, crooned French love - songs. In the intimate gloom, the waiter removed the wreckage of a superb dinner of frogs° legs smothered in snail sauce. My °u'1 concern was whether I should have a sweet liqueur iv a double brandy with my coffee. (Iwon.) .c *. Tonight I sit at the kitchen table, which is littered with pieces of paper, all bearing the heading "Sugar and Spice," followed by a couple of lines heavily X -ed out. I'm drinking warmed-over coffee, and ignoring the lung cancer boys by lighting one coffin nail off the butt of another. I'm trying to de- cide whether to make a peanut butter sandwich or just open a tin of sardines. * �r 'u * Saturday night we sat in the splendid new theatre at Stratford, watching the vivid, swift and in- telligent portrayal of Hamlet by Christopher Plummer. The flash- ing wit, the brilliant insight, the robust humor of the Bard, repro- duced by an eloquent and elegant company of players, lifted the spirit and quickened the senses. • * m * Tonight a fellow phcued and in accents malty and un -Shakespear- ean said he had a manoor spreader he wanda sell an how ,muchudit cost an whendy hafta have the ad in, an woodit be Awright if he put some little pigs in it, too.

Kim spent more time looking around for the peanut and soft-drink ven- dors than she did looking at the elephants. Each had to be taken to the bathroom, a quarter mile away, just when the man on the high trapeze was about to defy death, or the blonde in the tight tights was ready for her solo. But the afternoon was thoroughly de- lightful, on the whole, and we were very close, the three of us. e * o v Tonight, they put on their own circus, the usual pre -bed three-ring effort. Theya'biokered, complained and' argued through the meal, Kim producing her usual climax of a glass of milk all over the clean cloth. They pushed, punched and kicked their way up the stairs. They left enough water on the 'bathroom floor to support a family, of good-sized trout. They wrestled' Ilii Hugh's 'bed until they knocked over a •lamp.

That"s the gist of a tetter re- ceived by ToWn Council ' Friday night. The letter Wt , written bye an hotel Patron,' who liidieated he would "ot stay le Cto4erb. any longer neeau.se he had been pusie ed to the breaking Point by the early chiming of the /hock. 'rhe gentleman likened the chin ing to a diabolical form of torture. He had written the letter to the, hotel proprietor before checking out, and it was passed along to Council by the proprietor. The proprietor sent along a let- ter of his own, saying that there had been complaints ever since the bells had been installed. ' He expressed fear that tourists would start avoiding Goderieh unless .someone acted to curb the chimes. Mayor J. H. Grahame advised Council that he had heard the complaints and had dealt with them already, "We cut an hour off the morn - lig and an hour off the other end, and I haven't heard any complaints since," said the mayor. Previous- ly, the chimes had been in use from 6 a.m. to midnight, Council was informed. In his letter, the departed hotel patrpn said: "You operate a com- fortable, spotlessly clean, hospit- able hotel—but I shall never stay here again. I'd rather spe.id the night at a small roadside motel than suffer the agony of those town • hall tbells which start pro- claiming to all who can't help but listen from 6 a.in.—and every 15 minutes thereafter—that Goderich is NOT a delightful, sleepy Ontario town.

Victims were forced to CounciE Listens As Citizen Asks A Few Questions Citizen John Spain, who has al- ways hew keenly interested in how the business of the town is con- ducted, visited Friday night's Town Council meeting to "ask a f;,w questions," ast it. First of all, e said, a big hole in the roof of the grandstand at Agricultural Park was causing him concern. - "It's :n pretty bad shape, and I think it should be fixed up," he stated. 'Second, lie complained that gar- bage cans were being treated some - What less than gently by town employees. And third, "I'd like to know who owns the boulevard—the town or the -property owner?" Explaining that he owns a lot on Maple street, he said that stones, sticks and other materials had been dumped there by the town and the collection has not been levelled off. Said Mayor J. H: Graham: "My opinion is, if it's on the boulevard, the town's liable for it." Mr. Spa'u left the meeting after being thanked by Reeve E. C. Fisher for coming. Later, the mat- ters brought up by Mr. Spain were referred to the paries and public works committees for attention. Councillor C. M. Robertson, chairman of parks committee, told Council that he has been aware of the grandstand roof problem and men from the works department are going to make repairs to it as soon as some more road work has been completed. Edgar Lohr, of Wellington street, appeared before Council to ask for permission to build a sun porch, 10' by 9', and a basement at his residence. :Ills application had been turned down by the local building inspector because the ad- dition would 'bring the structure closer to the street line than the local by-law allows. The by-law requires a building to be 20 feet back from the street. Council was told that Mr. Lohr is living in a converted trailer that is now up on blocks. Later in the Council meeting, it was decided not to take any action on Mr. Lohr's request for the permit until members of Council can inspect the property for themselves. HOT FENCE Firemen were called out Friday night when a fence caught fire behind Wraith's implernent shop, on Lighthouse street. The blaze, of uncertain origin, was extinguish- ed before much damage was done.
