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. 11th ANNUAL A SHOW GODERICH ARENA THURSDAY, FRIDAY SEPT. 23-24 8:00 P.M. - 10:30 P.M. DOOR PRIZES 100 FREE ROSES. EACH NIGHT Sponsored by the Goderich Automobile Dealers BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER 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 HARDWARE 'STORES TRUE TEMPER Lawn Comb REG. 1.98 1 .17 ea.

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.
