items of interest from the mlstrlct usually but this week is taking a new step and travelling in a dif ferent direction neither north eaaft west or south its back n time after reading an interesting item in the burlington gazette of wednesday of last week the item said how many reivl- ers can name the socalled seven wonders of the world and how many can try it before you read these answers as given by the halton county paper it says they are the great let your clothes decide what community saves you in cost and weav no old fashioned rubatub equipment no harsh cleansers to make work for menders why risk expensive things why wait for clothes improperly done when you can get them back better faster it costs no more to give clothes that community look mausolus at harlicarnassus the

tuesday september 9 at the home of the regent mrs alfred long who pre sided during the opening exercises n chronicles of ginger farm wuin aicuijv for mi adorn fv rs by owcdmlvujm r cfaurftt getting the idea you know it all li n bad policy at any time but when it com ps tn bus and train schedulers it is disastrous so dear friends if you are planning a trip by either method of transportation or if you are advising friends who may be planning to visit you i would suggest that you study your train timetables and bus schedules very carefully this ad vice comes to you free of charge because of a recent personal exper ience our niece betty was recently transferred from la cave to the new hydro project at niagara falls we knew the would be com ing to visit us off and on so i sent her an liptodate local bus schedule from burlington to milton which showed that she could catch a bus from burlington which would arrive here at 150 that was three weeks ago lost saturday was her first chance to visit us we were just sitting down to dinner when the phone rang it was betty this was her tale of woe aunt gwen they have stopped running the noon bus i am stran ded here at bronte ohoh and bronte was twenty miles away bob was down ol oakville now if only i could catch him by phone before he left i phoned im sorry bob clarke has just left partner told me to never mind dinner go on down he could but i had a sort of hunch y j mought i wouldnt be in too ig a hurry it just might be tht lob would be home early and he could stand tha twentymile drive in the heit better than i could sure enough in about ten minutes along came bob i ran out to tell him the news and he turned around and went back again without ever turning off the ignition now the moral of this story lies in the fact that this little mixup could have been avoided had i not been so sure of myself because a local timetable was published n our weekly paper two weeks run ning i saw it but did not even read it as it did not draw attention to the fact that any changes had been made t so you sec what i mean friends you cant even trust the trains and buses these days they are as unpredictable as the weather the weather ah yesl until this morning we were getting very uneasy about conditions at ginger farm about the whole district in fact as the prolonged dry spell it ncomjt fetrangi thure should b this shortage of farm help hours nrtt shorter than ujtrd to be wages are belter work is easier at least it is supposed tn tm but we some times wonder whn power ma chinery breaks down it certainly cause a lot of grief hard work and delay before whatever is broken gets fixed again i aupdoae it just is that the lure of tha land u not as strong ha it ud to iwt city llghn are too bright by contrast and speaking of lights we il rove to toronto yesterday to see daughter coming home the traf fic was terrific i welched the con tinuous stream of blght lights flashing by and i- marvelled how many hundreds of car were on that one stretch of the queen kllxs- belh way i wondered and how many millions of dollars did thpe cars represent if we knew the an swer the figure 1 am sure would be staggering and how many sorts and conditions of people were those enrs carrying and how hut there is no limit to the quest- ions one might ask about the cars and the people they carry it is the things we dont know about
