a the acton free press wednesday july 5 f967 sugar and spice c by bill smiley vm deeply hurt ive been waiting eyes shining cheeks glowing mind agog to see who was going to invite us to stay attheir placemvhile we visited expo nothing not a whisper not a mur mur not a wire not even a long distance call collect everybody else i know has a deal of some kind this one has relatives whj are going to turn over their apart ment for two weeks in august when thcygo or vacation that one is going to stay with her mothers uncles cousins son while his wife has her 14th child in hospital another mend has a brother who is a big buyer for a department store the brother has been offered a suite of rooms at a posh motel for a week by a big supplier of things to the big depart ment store both brothers are going with their wives this is known as pub lic relations wed even settle for some private relations the telegram which dispenses this column has not said wed like you to take your family to expo for a week all expenses do a couple of columns from there no all theyve said is your column was late again last week pierre burton is going to spend two weeks with his family at expo in his boat i havent even got a rowboat and if i had i dont think wed make it before freezeup i must be fair and admit weve had a couple of invitations to park our trail er via christmas cards one was from my sister who is about 100 miles from expo the other was from old buddy gene macdonal who is only an hour from expo probably as the jet flies only trouble is we dont have a trailer and i dont suppose theres one left for hire in the whole country next year will be a great year to buy ised trailers now i havent anything grand or glorious in mind all i was thinking about was somebody who perhaps has an apartment in montreal and a chalet in the laurentians if they were at the chalet wed be perfectly happy to look after their apartment in the city and if they wanted to come back to the mug and muck of the city and expo for a week in all that heat wed be delighted to let them have the apartment while we looked after the chalet s what could be fairer than that it isnt as though we wanted to come bust ing in on our relatives in montreal even if we had any and say sorry we could nt make it for the last 12 years but we just couldnt resist coming to see you this year for a centennial year reunion what every room in the house is rent ed all summer well money is thicker than blood obviously no thats not the idea not at all we dont want to impose on anyone we just want a quiet little place preferably air conditioned that will sleep three maybe four as hugh still had his hand in a cast with free parking not more than ten minutes from expo with maid service free h nothing elaborate nothing ostenttr- tious just a simple little place to lay our heads and cook our meals and make lunches and burn holes in the chester field and have all our relatives in jtist something like home we wouldnt stay all summer you know kim has to be home sundays to play the organ at church and hugh has to be home every two weeks tohave his finger rebroken reset reencased in a cast i think hes found his lifes work besides my wife doesnt want to go to expo she shudders at crowds heat sore feet she avs she wouldnt sleep a wink she says we cant afford it thats what she said last summer and a week later we were on
