It's a shame what some o!fiu poor men have t.o put up wit] As a for instance you take las Saturday. I was aIl set to tak things nice and easy. But nm wife, being a tbougbtful sou decided that either plain or f ar cy loafing wvould be bad for nm physically, mentally and moi ally, ordered me to wasb ani wax the pantry, office and kil chen floors. Thinking to duck the issue your scribe regretted audibl, that there was not nearly enoug liquid wax on band, but the lad declared there was a new tir and I'd better get at it beforg she came downstairs. Thinking sbe was stili in bec I sneeningly said "Hah, I'd bikg to see you corne down". N sooner was the challenge utter ed than I heard ner fairy foot steps on the staiis.

Mac as a wet ben, I drove the four miles to Pontypool IV securE more. About bal! an hour aftei the floors were waxed anc dried, my wife iugged out the new tin she bad said was in the zantry. Was my face red? After lunch we decided tc drive to Bowmanville, only tc discover that the battery in the can had gone dead. Can't make out why, because it hasn't beer cbarged for nearly four years. I got bebind the car witb tbe eep, to give it a pusb, first turn- ing on the ignition and putting t in second gear. I instructei friend wife to grab the steering wbeel, and when the car stant- ed, to put ber left foot down hard on the clutch; to bold it here tili I could dash up and put the thing out o! gear. AI-. thougb Butcb had neyer dniven t motor vebicle, she said O.K. To make sure that notbung went vrong, we decided to do our stunt in an open f ield. Wîtbin ten feet the Austin was purring like a kitten, and beaded for a hedge three hundred feet away, but I knew notbing would bap- pen because good old Butcb would soon declutch. Wboosh! She went through the hedge at a terrifie pace, then carne to a hait about f ifty feet farther on. Hopping out o! the jeep, I ran towards the car, calling Dut, "I'm coming_!" Just as 1 eacbed it, that blooming Aus- in took off like a scared rabbit, raking me reahize that the il- lgicai female driver had lifted .er foot off the clutch and plunged the opposite pedal ex- tremity down on the gas. Down the lane it went, with yours truly speeding behind,,and yell- ig like a crazy Indian, "Take our blankety bbank foot off the ýas, and put it hard on the so ind so clutcb".

By this time your scribe was fit to be tied. Wnen the acrid Linterview ended, two married people of this arca were not on *very good speaking terms. When 1 bitcbed the naughty car be- hind the jeep, to tow it back into the yard, Butch asked meekly if she would get in and steer it. I shouted "No!" so loud- ly that a team of horses about a quarter of a mile away thought someone said "Whoa," and they stopped so suddenly the farmer feul off the seat. Wben the jeep stopped pulling, the Austin kept going, ramrned the jeep and broke a bead lamp. Then I was real-iy bopping. When the car finally took a notion to start, we headed for town. About bal! way there, thougbt I beard v beavy truck close behind, so nulled off to let bim go by, ouiy to discover, no truck. Guesseai it must be a couple of jets going by over- head. Finally discovered the abominable row was being made by the Austin; the exhaust pipe was broken. On Sunday, along about 10.30 a.m. we were ready to leave for a twelve o'clock dinner date at Maple Grove, when Bob opined be could fix the exhaust pipe in five minutes. Like ducks he did! At 12.30, we werc stili fiddling witb it.

Awards Contracts For Three New Bridges At a special meeting Clarke Township Council accepted ten- ders for the erection of three re- inforced concrete bridges. These bridges with the contract price are as follows: Savery bridge, lot 5, conces- sion 4 and 5 for $1315.30. Dobson bridge, lot 10, conces- sion 4 and 5 for $1581.00. Mercer bridge, lot 6, conces- sion 8 for $1185.00. The total contract price for the three bridges amounts to $408 1.30. However the cost to the Township will amount to an estimated $7052.00 as the Town- ship supplies cernent, reinforc- ing steel and also removes ex- isting structures where new bridges are to be placed. The township will receive the prOv-, incial subsidy on the new bridges.1
