'Both brothers are going, with their wives. This is known tis "public relations. We'd even settle ' for some - private rela- `ions. The Telegram, which dis-1 • penses this column, has not said: "We'd . like you to take your family to Expo for a• week. All expenses. Do a cou- ple of , colum'ns . from there." No, all they've said is, "Your. column was late again last week." Pierre Berton is going to spend two weeks with his fami- ly, at Expo, in his boat. I have- n't even got a rowboat, and if .1 had, I don't think we'd make it before freeze-up. I must be fair, and admit we've-. hada couple of invita- tions; to park our 'trailer, via Christmas cards.. One was from my sister, who is about 100 miles from Expo. The other was,from old buddy Gene Mac- donal, who is only "an hour from Expo," probably as the jet flies. Only trouble , is, we don't have a trailer; , 'and I don't suppose there's 'one left for hire in the whole country. Next year will be a great year -to buy used trailers. our house • Now, I haven't anything grand or glorious in• mind. All I was thinking about was some- body who 'perhaps has an apartment in Montreal and a chalet in the Laurentians. If they were at the chalet, we'd be perfectly happy to look af- ter their apartment in the city. And if they wanted to come bac to the mug and ,n'►uck of the city and Expo for a week, in all 'that heat, we'd be de- lighted to:let ' them . have the apartment, w hiie„,we 1poked af- ter fter the chalet. . ' What could be fairer' 'than that? It isn't as though we wanted to come busting' in on our relatives in Montreal, even if we had any, and say, "Sorry we couldn't make it for the last '12 years, but we just couldn't resist' coming to see you this year, for a Centennial 'Year. reunion. What? Every „room in the ,house is rented all. summer? Well! Money is thick- er' than blood, obviously." No, that's not the. idea. Not at' all,Y We don't want to impose on anyone.
