matterof Some do some don Mack sat bolt up water pump Torn out of a very pleasant dream I had to concede that It was indeed the water pump blowing up again I Living in the country is not one long round of green grass fresh air and tripping lightly through the roses It things like water pumps septic tanks frozen This particular night just after Christmas we went through the usual dash down stairs to paddle through rising water Mack struggled under the geyser of water to turn off the hysterical pump and attempt replacement of whichever hose it was this time I about saving important things like dahlia bulbs and the pool table while Mack put on his muttering act When the pump was together again I went up stairs to wash my hands only lo find the tap made obscene coughing sounds at me instead of produemg water The pump had of course lost its prime Mack said Oh golly or words to that effect and died out to t he shop for more tools Just an ordinary everyday occurence in the country From pipe wrench Water pumps arc always particular trouble makers it seems The old pump we had on first farm used to get air locks among other things that necessitated having its nut removed to let the air out Sounds simple but our cellar was earth floored and only five feel deep Mack had attempted to die out the floor to a more accommodating depth but had only succeeded in digging trenches to all points of interest When the cellar flooded quite regularly we negotiated the babbling brook trenches by means of little board bridges just like a fairy grotto Mother came stay when number two child was born and was initiated into the many quirks of primitive farm life including explicit instructions on maintenance of the water pump Mom s a petite former ballet dancer with very little mechanical know how but she II tackle anything once Her first air lock when I was cosily in labour several miles away in a warm clean hospital bed Armed with a pipe wrench as big as she is the little lady bounced down the stairs picked her way through the semi annual flood stood on the bridge overlooking a muddy trench and yanked off the nut with supreme effort fortunately she forgot to turn off the pump first The resulting Jet of icewater struck her squarely in the eye knocking her clean off the bridge into the water below She said it was like a bad movie with Marx standing transfired idiotically under a water fall She move from shock and got drenched to her underwear before she managed to turn the darned thing Crawling sodden and filthy back up the stairs she emerged from trapdoor to discover she had visitors come for tea The stories of water systems and sewage could fill a book now that s an idea The only bit of advice I can offer the neophyte country dweller dealing with these things for the first time is pay for your own pipes into the nearest town even if it three miles away and costs you a fortune get that town water and pipes out to your place no matter what It worth it AIB accepts settlement The Acton Free Press Wednesday Jan 5 1977 17 WINNERS OF THE ANNUAL FERGUS MIDGET basketball coached by Lyn McLaren are in front from the left Rick

needed to present a health hazard There are lots of stanees on the supermarket shelves which are more toxic than either or Dech lorane Plus Johnson stated Tests have shown Plus has a very low toxicity to mammals and fish Its solubility in water is less than one part per billion but it is difficult to study its possible bio in the aquatic environment Studies with some have shown it bio magnifies in
