I'm ashamed to admit it, but
the time has come that I must
confess. I can't keep up with
the housework by myself.
I know. I made a big fuss
about the fact that I put my
children to work in an orderly
fashion to assist me...but
somehow that system isn't
working so well any more.
You see, my youngsters are
getting older... and busier.
For instance, my eldest son is
discovering that he needs at '
least three hours every evening
to get his homeowrk ddne for
the next day's classes. When
you add to that time to have
a shower and shampoo (with his
long hair craze, boys wash their
hair almost daily and use enough
shampoo in a year to put a
froth on the Atlantic Ocean),
Kill lawn weeds
September is a good time to
kill lawn weeds, say horticult-
urists with the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture and Food.
With good weather conditions,
little or no wind, and reduced
sensitivity of garden plants to
chemical spray, the timing is
excellent.
A major portion of the weeds
can be controlled by vigorous
grass growth. Poor maintenance
and neglect cause a thin weedy
turf and the wise gardener
will correct these faults before
trying other means. Healthy
turf requires fertilization, top -
dressing, watering, and regular
mowing. A dense growth of
grass competes so strongly for
nutrients and water that weeds
cannot establish easily then.
Chemical weed control is
quicker than cultural methods.
The herbicide, 2, 4- D, kills
most dandelions and broad-
leaved weeds, but chickweed,
creeping Charlie, and some
others require mecoprop or
silvex. Always read label
directions carefully fof the
safest and most effective applic-
ation techniques. And take
care in application. Windblown
spray can injure or kill many
garden plants and ornamentals.
A fine spray to cover all leaves
but coarse enough to reduce
or prevent spray drift is recom-
mended.

before bed, a conversation on
the telephone with your favorite
young lady and a good substant-
ial lunch at least once if not
twice between supper and retir-
ing, you have a full evening.
The mornings for my son are
just about as hopeless. He
trundles out of bed at a decent
hour and spends 20 minutes in
the bathroom looking for
stubble which just hasn't mater-
ialized and mumbling in muted
tones about the tresses which
just won't co-operate with the
comb and the brush. He then
eats a hearty breakfast (if I
cook it) or drinks a cup of coffee
(if he make it) and devours the
sports page of the daily news-
paper. After all, there will be
no more time today to read it.
Then he dresses, the final primp
and off on the long, long hike
to the school where he'll stay
the entire day.
My daughter does a little
better. She is up very early in
the !Horning. If you listen hard
enough you will hear the shower
going as early as 6:30 a.m.
Then follows the morning ritual
of a manicure, a pedicure, a
facial and a complete wardrobe
tryon.
After the decision is made
what to wear that day, the
ironing board comes out and the
iron made hot. Sometimes a
seam needs repair. Occasionally
a button has to be replaced.
Mostly it is just a good pressing
that is required. Then every-
thing
is hung in readiness while
breakfast is eaten.
My daughter is just a little
bit of a thing but she eats like a
Clydesdale stud these days. Into
the glass goes two servings of
orange juice; into the pan three
slices of bacon and two eggs;
into the toaster twin slices of
bread; into the pot, two tea
bags; and onto the table an
assortment of jams, jellies,
honey and sweetrolls. By the
time she's eaten her breakfast,
she's had enough vitamins and
minerals to last the normal
person for the whole day,
Then, my daughter gets up
from the table and washes the
dishes and places them in the
drying rack. That's all for the
morning.
At noon, she's home from
school and prepares some kind
of a lunch for her father and I.
It might be soup. It might be
beans. But it is something.
Then she puts away the already -
dry morning dishes and washes
the two or three noon dishes
we've made.
It is at noon she plans her
evening menu... but that's
another story. After school is
out for the day, she's home
early, prepares a tremendous
dinner for the entire family...
and after she's eaten she slinks
away to some corner or other

not to be heard from all even-
1nShe tells me she reads or
studies or listens to records or
watches TV or sews or just
putters around... but whatever
she does she is quiet, content
and very, very absent for even-
ing chores.
The smallest Keller isn't a
great deal of help. At the pres-
ent moment, he does even the
tiny chores under protest.
So it is that with my husband
and I working every day (and
four nights out of seven as well)
there is not much time for
housework. And needless to say
we were getting behind... until
I fell upon a marvellous idea
of hiring someone to help out.
That's how it is that I found
this truly saving grace... a
woman who walks in once or
twice weekly and cleans the
Keller mansion from top to
bottom. It is like getting
money from home... only bet-
ter because it has ended my
guilt feelings when I sit down
at the end of an evening to
watch the news.
Good for the kids? Good for
Me? Good for my husband?
1 don't know but it sure beats
banging your head against a
stone wall.
