Churchill Wodnostfny October A letter from Eden Mills series of tatters written by Mia Val Barrow relating her experience during five delightful years In Eden Mills Miss Barrow Is writing to show her appreciation to residents of the village Dear May Im sorry to have been so long answering your nice newsy letter But oh what a time weve had to the Lawyers to pick up the key late on the afternoon of and then went to the house Incidentally key Is really something to behold It Is Iron with quite a fancy end to It and Its a bit bent must have been In the forging It Is much too strong to bend when turning the lock Well the house had been shut up for three or four days and did It ever smell musty 1 1 hod a good look around and found that It was all in very bad condition I should have noticed before but I was so beguiled by tho win- and the view I was terribly upset and wished Id never bought It However after supper I felt better about It and arranged to meet a contractor Bill by name In the morning before the family arrived to help unpack There would be no unpacking there for quite a while I felt It had to be before they arrived because you know how optimistic mother Is and I could almost hear her say Oh its not too bad Wo can do It our selves What she actually said was Oh dear It la bad isnt It Well as luck would have It Mr and his brothers were able to get at things right away and had the place within two weeks and two wonderful ladies In the village Mrs Roy and Mrs Herb agreed to do the redecorating So we rushed off to buy wall papers In a hurry Got rather neutral ones for tho bedrooms and a brown speckled for the TV room definitely decided to have my desk books and TV In tho smallest bedroom The paper is moat It makes us think of porridge Wo got a pale green with a bright fleck for the living room and a very pretty ivy one with the odd leaf for the kitchen I went out every night to see how things were progressing They scraped all old paper off right down to the old handhewn lath and plaster There seemed to be stovepipe holes everywhere you could Just near every another hole in the wall Well It was nil ready In two weeks and It really does look beautiful Tho bedroom floors have been sanded and then sealed and waxed and the lovely boards have a mellow glow All the woodwork Is earning white and it looks especially nice the kitchen where there Is a about two and a half feet high We had a new cabinet built in the kitchen too It has a double steel sink and a light over It and II Is ho well designed and made that it doesnt really look new but fits in well In the room and the some time I tho new sink and light Mother and Dad stayed a couple of weeks to help get mo settled thunk goodness How hard thoy worked All thing had been packed In such huge cartons you could hardly reach to tho bottom and mother tore them up when empty and burnt tho lot in the fireplace It took simply ages Dad did all sorts of carpentry Finally we were to sit down and fed satisfied with the place The living room looks particularly nice I think with mv royal carpet and those lovely old dclphlnum drapes Goodness knows how long they will last but Im fond of them shall them up till they drop to pieces Well dear more next week Do when you have time lava Val Thanksgiving guests plan Parents visit with teachers s in news There are federal provincial progmmH of for

people of Halton have a right to demand and receive some 1ncst from MP Whiting with respect to the position taken by his government In the sale of over trillion feet of Canadian natural gas to the United States For the past few months Mr Whitings political mentors have been engaged in weak attempts to hoodwink Canadian nationalists of Liberal policy in selling resources to our neighbor to the south The sudden conversion of Energy and Resources minister J J Greene Is a case in point Last autumn Mr Greene ad vised Canadians on national television that the age of petty nationalism was over He maintained at the time that we would still be hewers of wood and drawers of water if we did not recognise that our destiny in the economic sense lay with the United States Changed stance However Mr Greene changed his stance in partisan political manoeuvre with his over publicised Denver speech in which he politely Informed American oil men of Canadas desire to remain Canadian It is obvious that this was an at tempt to buy off nationalist elements But his announcement of tho natural gas sale made his and the position of the government quite clear The hollow nationalist rhetoric of Trudeau and Greene cannot conceal tho fact that it will continue to be business as usual with the United States Sweeten pill Thus the for must ask himself the following questions Just precisely who are the Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy and Resources trying to foot Are they trying to sweeten the bitter pill of complete economic domination by insincere and opportunistic references to Canadian national feeling Unless Mr Whiting makes an attempt to define the great issues Involved this confusion as far as the people of are con cerned will continue In tho absence of evidence to the contrary we can take it for granted that the Liberals are playing the old game of buying votes at the next general election Would Mr Whiting agree Ron Henry Faculty of Law Queens University Kingston Ont WI 4H
