2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 20, 1975 Section Two EDITORIAL COMMENT Delightful Time of Year In some ways, we're sorry to see summer winding down and fall about to start. It's been a hot, dry one, ideal for vacationers and a worry to farmers. But, frankly, summer is a pain in the neck for businesses and industry because you are trying to do what has to be done with your staff either going on or recovering from holidays. At the start of every week, you do a head count to see who's going to be around that week. However, it's much better than contemplating the wintry winds and below zero temperatures or what- ever they are Celsius. And there is one item about the fading days of summer that we look foward to with great anticipation ... and that's the fall fairs. This Saturday will be Blackstock's big effort, when the results of many weeks of work and planning will be viewed by thousands of visitors, many of whom have been there many times previously, but still get a thrill out of the exhibits, the cattle, horses, pigs and all the rest. Attending fall fairs really gets to be an incurable disease of the best kind. That fair will be followed by the ' one at Port Perry, Sept. 1st and Orono the first week of September when many of the same animals and the exhibitors will be on hand with their prize beasts, their superb poultry, the heavy and light horses, etc. And inside t he main buildings, there will be many displays of cooking, crafts and the beautiful fruit and vegetables grown in this area. On Sunday, we did a fast trip to the Canadian National Exhibition, the king of the fall fairs. It had been several years since we were there and never before on a Sunday morning but we found the old gai just as glamorous as ever. Unfor- tunately, we couldn't stay long but it was well worth the trip for just a few hours. There must have been hundreds of pipe bands all over the place, getting ready for competi- tions. And we spent a good deal of time in the Horticultural building where Van Belle Gardens have a display, and were truly amazed at the fantastic variety of plants and flowers that were shown there. We'd never heard of most of them and have certainly never seen pine- apples sitting up on their stems or cacti by the dozens. If you go to the CNE; don't miss that building. There's one thing to be said about the late days of summer, there's plenty to see and do to take the youngsters' minds off the fact that in less than two weeks they'll be back at school again. The teachers should be in a good mood though, as they expect to have their pay, increased by something in the area of $4,000 a year at least in the secondary schools. Somewhat less in the primary schools, but still substan- tial. They'll probably be going atound the schools and classrooms grinning like Cheshire cats. But, we should keep these com- ments on a high level and hope all of our readers have had a good summer and are looking forward to an exciting and busy fall and winter. A Prayer for Tourists Good friend Harry Stemp of the Uxbridge Times-Journal went on some holidays recently, the lucky stiff, and somehow got time to write a couple of his Stemp's Stew columns for the two weeks he was away. Apparently, he keeps a file on items people send in and drew on them to fill in his space. They are timely, so we've borrowed them. The first is called a "Prayer for Tourists" and, according to the writer, one should recite it when they go to bed and again when they get up in the morning. It goes like this: "Heavenly Father, look down on us Your humble obedient tourist servants who are doomed to travel this earth, taking photographs, mailing post cards, buying sou- venirs and walking about in drip-dry underwear. We beseech You, O Lord, to see that our plane is not hijacked, our luggage is not lost and our overweight baggage goes unnoticed. Protect us from surly and un- scrupulous taxi drivers, avaricious porters and unlicensed English- speaking guides. Give us this day divine guidance in the selection of our hotels that we may find our reservations honoured, our rooms made up and hot water running from the faucets (if it is at all possible). We pray that the telephones work and the operators speak our tongue and that there is no mail waiting from our children which would force us to cancel the rest of our trip. Lead us, Dear Lord, to good inexpensive restaurants where the food is superb, the waiters friendly and the wine included in the price of the meal. Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currencies we do not understand. Forgive us for undertipping out of 'ignorance and overtipping out of fear. Make the natives love us for what we are and not for what we can contribute to their worldly goods. Grant us the strength to visit the museums, the cathedrals, the- pal- aces and the castles listed as 'musts' in the guidebooks. And if perchance we skip an historic monument to take a nap after lunch, have mercy on us, for our flesh is weak." (This part of the prayer is for husbands.) "Dear God, keep our wives from chnnnina enres ind nrnnt.-t +hnm from 'bargains' they don't need or can't afford. Lead them not into temptation for they know not what they do." (This part of the prayer is for wives.) "Almighty Father, keep our husbands from looking at foreign women and comparing them with us. Save them from making fools of themselves in cafes and nightclubs. Above all, please do not forgive them their trespasses for they know exactly what they do." (Together) "And when our voyage is over, and we return to our loved ones, grant us the favor of finding someone who will look at our home movies and listen to our stories so our lives as tourists will not have een iirvain.

The biggest adventure here is wondering whether the toilet will back up. A couple of weeks at a cottage is .appealing. But what the heck, we slouch around at home in bare feet and shorts, and as far as listening to the loons at night goes, you can always ask a few of your friends to drop in. A few days in the city has an equal appeal. I always catch a cold in th€ air-conditioned rooms, neither of us likes swimming in a pool with a lot of common, middle-class people, you have to sign a second mortgage on your house to pay the bill, and you can hardly wait to get home, where the room service is free and a great deal faster. So this week, with our "little trip" looming up like a vampire, we both discovered, instantaneously and with great relief, that we'd just stay home for the time being. She: "I was really just agreeing because I thought you wanted to get away somewhere." He: "You mean to say that you don't want to go off in the heat and be soaked every time you turn around and eat all those rotten french-fries and besides the tires on the car aren't so hot. I was only going because I thought you'd like a change, get away from the meals." She: 'I can't stand other people's cooking and I hate motel rooms and you know how hard it is to find a decent place to swim." He: "Yeah, and if we took our golf clubs we wouldn't have room for anything else and if we didn't, we'd have to rent them, for an arm and a leg." Ironically, we live smack in the centre of one of the great resort areas in Canada. People who move here from the city can't understand why anybody wants to go away, even for a day. Anyway, great, mutual sighs of relief. But there was still that guilty feeling, that sense that we weren't pulling our weight in the great oliday farce. So we compromised. He: "Tell you what we'li do. We'll drive down to the marina and look at the boats. Then we'll check the prices at two of the local motels. Then we'll drive out to the beach and look at the cottages." She (eagerly): "Yes. And then we'll come home and turn on the sprinkler and I'll get you a dinnet that would cost you $14 in à» restaurant and tomorrow morning we'll play golf at the most beautiful course within 300 miles, and tomorrow afternoon we'll sun and swim at the most beautiful beach within 400 miles." He: "Yes! Yes! Yes! And there's a terrific movie on TV tonight, four stars, and we've only seen it twice." Who needs a "little trip" anyway? Every mid-summer, for some peculiar reason, mywife and I get into the same conversation. We talk at some length about where we should go for a holiday. We have this ridiculous, guilty feeling that we should do what normal people do on their vacations: go to a Iodge; rent a cottage; buy a tent and go camping; hire a trailer; go for a "trip" somewhere. Any- thing. We talk about it for weeks, off and on. We keep referring to "our little trip." Perhaps we should just jump in the car and go gypsying around the country, we say. It sounds good, nice and careless and fun, with a new adventure just around the next curve. Or maybe this year we'll do the culture bit: a week at Stratford, take in all the plays, dabble our feet in the Avon, look with the eye of old theatre-goers at the stunned gawp- ing tourists. Or, for a change, book in at a posh lodge for a week, no meals for the old lady to cook, dress to the hilt for dinner, mingle with the fascinating sub-jetset. Or this year, for once, we'll rent a cottage for two weeks, dam-the- expense, get away from the tele- phone, slouch around in bare feet and shorts, and listen to the loons on the lake at night. Or, for a complete change, maybe we'll go to the city, check into a fancy hotel with a pool, lounge around in an air-conditioned room, and go out to dinner and a good show. There's only one trouble with all these plans. They require decisive action, and we never seem to get around to either decision or activity. Take the posh lodge, for example. First, they are all clip joints. Secondly, they are booked for the whole summer. Thirdly, we don't have the wardrobes to dress to the hilt or anywhere else. Fourthly, they are full of bores. And the food is no screaming hell. Then, the culture bit. It's awfully difficult to gear yourself up for a week of Shakespeare and Shaw and dressing up and standing in lineups for dinner, when you're lying in th e backyard listening to the birds, with a good book, and barely enough energy to reach for your glass, and you know there ain't going to be no lineup for the fried chicken and the young, new potatoes and the juice-spurting corn and the cold, tangy tomatoes in your own house. Gypsying around in the car is fine, except that you have to get out on the road with all those maniacs, and drive and drive in the heat, and pay a ransom for motel rooms, and eat fried food until you begin to feel like a french-fry, and watch a TV set offering re-runs of last winter's
