PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, APRI L 24, 1985, WHITBY FREE PRESS Broklin Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Call 655-3679 with items for this column It looks like spring has finally arrived. I think I mentioned once something about my allergy problem when the trees are in bud, well now its here. I don't have the sniffing,'sneezing, wheezing kind of allergy, I might get some sympathy for that. What I get is a feeling that there's a flat iron sitting on top of my head and my brain goes into a per- manent holding pattern. It's a sort of limbo like an aircraft waiting to land but without the movies or being put on hold on the telephone without the can- ned music. I suspect that whoever first invented the zombies of horror fiction must have suffered from the same affliction. But enough about my problems, I just wanted my faithful readers to know that once this season is over I should get back to my old form - whatever that is. From the dirth of news for this column, I wonder if there aren't a lot of others suffering from 'spring fever' of one form or another. Anyway, here's a reminder of coming events - ROAST BEEF DINNER The Beethoven Oddfellows and the Kinoven Rebekah Lodges are holding their annual roast beef dinner this Saturday (April 27). There will be two sittings at 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. The dinner consists of roast beef, gravy, potatoes and vegetables and will be finished off with the magnificant homemade pies that the Rebekahs are famous for. The price is such that you can take the whole lamily without ruining the budget. Adults are just $7, children 12 and under are $3 while pre-schoolers are admitted free of charge. If you still haven't got your tickets call Doug Jackson at 655-8716. MONTE CARLO NIGHT Also this Saturday, the Brooklin and District Kin- smen are holding their annual games marathon from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. There will be the ever popular elimination draw for $500 in prize money, games of chance, a bar and a live band to dance to. Tickets are 15 each and can be picked up at Brooklin Esso, from any Kinsmen or by calling Don Vipond at 655- 4953. LIBRARY NEWS If you haven't already made a trip to the library to see the fantastic display of artwork by the studen- ts of Meadowerest and St. Leo's, be sute to do so. Ashburn residents should note that the paperback book selection at the Community Centre has been refreshed. Drop by and see the exciting new selec- tion. Myrtle residents should take note of the fact that there will be a selection of children's books from the library put into the church there in the near future. This should prove a boon to the parents who now have to drive all the way to Brooklin to pick up reading matter for the kids and also for the kids themselves. Speaking of kids, I'd like to pass along some tips I read recently for kids on "How to Bring Up Paren- ts"' - 1. Don't be afraid to speak their language. Try using such strange words as "please," "Thank you" and "I'll take out the gaýbage". 2. Try to understand their music. Play a Glenn Miller record and get accustomed to the strange sound. 3. Encourage them to talk about their problems. Try to keep in mind that things like earning a living and mortgage payments are important to them. 4. Be tolerant of their appearance. When dad gets a haircut, don't humiliate him, it's important for him to look like his peers. 5. And most important of all: If they do something you don't like, let them know its their behaviour you dislike - not them. Parents need to be loved!
