2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 8, 1962 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey Celebrate « Her Fir»t Birthday The migraine headache I have tonight tonight has been brewing for about two weeks. The four aspirin tablets I took this afternoon was like trying to put out a forest fire by spitting on it. There's nothing like dissension in the ranks to bring on a real head thumper. The ranks I refer to are the restless troops at home who predictably predictably ran out of constructive ways to wile away the summer holiday. In their frustration they turned to matters of a destructive nature, namely scrapping with one another combined with a concerted surge to drive me over the edge. As all good mothers do, from tinie to time, I lost my cool today blowing the lid off all the pressure valves. I lined them up and gave them an army-like raking over the coals which left me with a headache and them no worse for the wear. After the dressing down one reminded me that yelling accomplishes nothing and the other has taken to answering me, "Yes, Massah." I almost thought I might make it through this summer without saying the school vacation period is two weeks too long. I kept my fingers crossed when several of my friends and acquaintances announced they had already knuckled under. The first hint that summer at our house had started to sour came when I began receiving calls at work. He and nis friend are eating all the food in the house, said the sister. She is hogging the television set for stupid soap operas, whined the brother. Believe me, the work place is not the best position from which to bring the troops to attention. The first couple of calls I tried to make my telephone voice sound ominously threatening but something is definitely lost when the message must be whispered. When you've told them they are about to meet their Waterloo and they have to say, "Pardon, I didn't hear you," a lot of precious breath has just been wasted. Responding to another complaint call from boot camp, I told one of them I would be home pronto to Paved Walkway Requested Between Two Local Schools The board of directors for Durham Christian Secondary School has asked that the Town of Newcastle rovide a paved walkway alongside cugog Rd. N., between Knox Christian School and Durham Christian Secondary School. In a letter to town council, the board noted that a bus is provided to transport students from one school to the other. However,. due to high school scheduling, students are not always finished their work at the same time. Consequently, some students have to walk to the Knox Christian School in order to catch buses in the afternoon.

STRAIGHTEN things out. It was a threat that worked. The offender made off to parts unknown for the remainder of the day fearing he had raised my wrath to the boiling point. The tactic left all quiet on the home front for at least one afternoon. I guess I needn't go into detail. All mothers know how it is. We should consider forming a combine to approach the board of education for a shortened summer vacation. I have a feeling our plea would fall on deaf ears. Board trustees seeking re- election should consider using this issue as their platform. They would likely be shoe-ins. Holidays seem to progress quite smoothly when trips and special outings remain in the offing. But, when the summer begins to wind down and the young people have done all there is to do, their idle minds become a devil's workshop. To keep my two occupied I encouraged them to bring their friends around. One in particular took me at my word. With a tent pitched in the back yard and a well stocked larder, by the end of the summer I felt like I was running a youth hostel. When I wasn't playing den mother I ran taxi service to the golf course. Then the time came to shop for new school clothes. Let me tell you what I learned. The hottest item in boys wearing apparel is a little number called a concert shirt. They are ghastly black jerseys bearing the colorful names of rock groups -1 think. My son chose the style sporting the words "Black Sabbath" assuring me that ALL the kids have them. So, you win a few, you lose a few. The summer has indeed been an experience, as usual. Not as bad as last year, the year before, or the year before that. It does get better - almost tolerable in fact. My two, however, still possess the deep seeded ability to give me a migraine and every so often they remind me they haven't lost their touch. Join with me mothers in a salute to the first day of school. Plans Bikeathon for Cancer "Our request is made before any accidents happen," the board of directors said. The board added that police have warned the school of the danger of students walking on the road. The letter from the secondary school was received by Newcastle council at its meeting Tuesday evening, September 7. The matter has been referred to the next meeting of the town's general purpose and administration committee for further discussion. Town Administrator Don Smith, said a report on the subject will be presented to the committee. Castle, Century lend Playoffs By Dave Passant .
