r- - -~ 77. M B3r«k1i n ~ Byines Egr. By Roxanne ReveIerj Hi there; Why is it the only time anyone ever drops in is when your hair is in curlers and the house is a mess? You know, I find it incredulous that the powers that be in the U.S.A. have put the kybosh on such shows as M.A.S.H. and Laverne and Shirley because they feel they are too violent in content for youngsters to watch. Although there are a consi- derable amount of "brute-force" series on at prime ime, I wonder if these big brothers of the tube have taken any particular notice of the Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza. Animated creatures are constantly running into walls or trains, getting bashed over the head, or getting blown up by dynamite. Possibly, because they are animnated, it is felt they cannot really convey physical violence. Unfortunately, children identify with their cartoon friends more so than with "humans". I think some- one, somewhere, has to straighten out their priorities. WHITBY HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Whitby Historical Society will be touring museurns in the Peterborough area on Saturday, September 26. Dinner will be at Elmhurst, over- looking Rice Lake. The bus will leave Whitby Library parking lot at 8 a.m., pick up Brooklin members at the Brooklin United Church, and pro- ceed directly to Peterborough. Final registration for Society members is Thur- sday, September 10, at 158 Brock Street North, beL- ween 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (caîl Kay 668-2249 for infor- mation on registration only). The bus holds 45, and although everyone is wel- corne, Society memnbers will take priority. For ad- ditional information regarding the trip please cal Betty at 668-1152. MEET OUR PEOPLE I have been asked by so many people since I star- ted writing this colurnn, basically, who I amn, and where did I corne from. It appears to be quite logical, therefore, in this section, to let you know. I must admit I love to talk, but flot constantly about the samne subject, especially when the subject hap- pens to berne. So,II make it brief - here goes. I wa s born in the mid-section 'of England, near Coventry, after the war. Because of the strident econornic situation at the ime, rny progressive parents decided to immigrate. We arrived in BROOKLI .N HOME BAKERY &DELICATESSAN 61 BALDWIN ST.

Although this was flot my major, I stili used to puddle around with short stories - especially those designed for children. 1 have always had a feeling for children, teaching Sunday School, and working for two years as a volunteer teacher for the mentally handicapped in Scarborough. I met and rnarried my husband George, an elec- trical sales engineer in 1965, and in January 1968 we moved to Brooklin. In February of that same year, our son Grant was born. Five years later in April 1973, our daughter Kristen was born. The following December,, we purchased the bakery. Grant presently attends Meadowcrest Sehool in Brooklin, and is in grade eight. Kristen is in grade three at Westmount Public School, Oshawa, a F'rench Em- mersion sehool operated by the Durham Board of Education. Being quite a tomboy as a child, I naturally have an afinity towards sports. 1 have played rnost of thern in my time, including football, but now limit myself to the ones that are Iess likely to break my bones. I am still an avid spectator though. I enjoy sewing, as long as it's by machine; knitting, although socks are likely to end up being scarves; painting, but neyer seem to find enough time lately; and reading. Reading is the one passion I always find time for. Something has to give in our home shortly as the books are slowly taking over our living space. 1 love music, dancing, people and talking. I hate to be idie, except on certain summer days when I can sit in the sun and daydream about travelling, one of my true loves. There is 50 rnuch in the world to see - so little ime to see it in - and neyer enough money around to do it with. Oh well, with my luck, by the ime my ship cornes in, rny pier will have sunk.

TIP 0F THE WEEK The children are finally back to school, holidays are over, so hopefully the house is getting back into some semblence of routine. No more invening things to do and places to go because you can't stand to hear "there's nothing to do" one more time. My tip this week is simple. Stand up, put your hands over your head, take a deep breath, and shout at the top of your lungs YEAAAAAAAAAAAH! Now don't you feel better? I'11 be listening for the chorus.
