WVhen 1 got up this morning 1 had an a wful1 time moving the huge rock that was pressing dowvn on my head. 1 was in agony and it's ail Lucien's fault. You see 1 went to the grand op- en ing of the Lucien Motel on Friday night and it was quite a bash. 1 missed the Mayor cutting the rib- bon and 1 got there about 9:30 just as the party was gathering momentum. Lucien had the guests in the office part of the motel and there wvere tables and chairs set u p. At one end of the room was a c oî1d buffet a ndc another tabl e had the Irefreshments'.. . Itwas intriguing to see the place al redecoratedwi th nevv furniture and new carpets and repainted because the last t i m e 1 saw the house i nsi de was when i t was occupied by the principal of the high school.1 Lucien met me atthe door and before long a driînk was pressed into my hand, and 1 was meeting the guests. Some of Lucien's friends were there and there were a few business people. It seemed to me that Beaver Lumber had the best turnout because 1 can remember three or four people telling me they wvorked there. Everybody appeared to be having a good time wvhen along about Il p.m. a station wagon vvith American plates roi led Up to the office. lit Iooked like Lucien was about to have his first guests.* Itwas a couple from Rochester Nevv York, M r. and Mrs. Leonard Herman and they were on their way to the Kings- ton area to visit relatives. I don 1't think the poor people knew what hi tthem. AIl1 of a sudden they were the centre of attention, and next thing t h ey knew they wvere inside the house and had drinks in their hands. dr pa!sufl 1600. uf) r rurnber;Gne import car k;rid Ç)f thal s miid tS LjCanada moi-t sticccýsýfut rï'IIY c8rý il yzu'(c planning ý Io buy itri t to 31, mjl(ýÉ' ýQ lhý; gallon With eCororny car, buy the orie that ýbter1 icàsted 'under the worO po:; sible conditjgnp agairt!it the, bebt ppssible compelibon.

Because it wvas suc h an historic occasion we decided it would be be s tif wetook a pcture of the first guests signing the regis- ter. Now 1 h ad a camera but no fl1ash so thatposed a problem. Either everybody hadto stay perfectly stili for two and a half minutes orwe had to dig up a flash. Mr. Herman suggested we use his pol- aroid flash camera. This struck me as r a th er i ro n ic because Mr. Herman works at Kodak in Rochester. Lucien and his guests took up their positions by the registration desk and 1 paced of f the number of feet so as to have a good picture. 1 h ad a heck of a time pacing a straight line but every- t h i n g l ooked good and 1 took the pic- ture. The flash w ent off and everybody crowded around to see what the picture would look like when it came out. It didn't. When M r. Herman w/ent to pull the f ilm he di scovered there was no f il1m in t he camera. Drat! Vi/e had to start a 1 1 over again, and my condition v',as worseling. The second attempt wvas a success an d the pic ture came o u t pretty good cons idering the handicap 1 was working under. Lucien's son, Raymond announ- c ed t ha t he was prepared to man the sw..,itchboard i n case t h e 1Iucky coupl1e wanted to cal 1 the Whi te House or some- th i n g. .Ail inaIl lI think it was a great open- i n f o r the Motel1. The onl y sour not e was the almost total Iack of attendance by representatives of the town. The way I see it the Ioss was theirs. They mis- sed out on meeting a great guy 1like Luc- ien and the food was del icious. The re- freshments wiere also.. . ..... good. VVhat 1 remember seemed I ike a lot of f un. 1 don't remember too much of thel1ast of i t. 1Ilm sure not in any shape to attend another grand opening for at least a week.
