Oh . . to be a kid again Growing uop certainly is not today today what it was fifty years ago and this fact was brought home to be a couple of times over the past week. It almost makes one want to be a kid again and to have the time to enjoy those kid things that exist today. today. If I could turn the clock back 1 would peg in after the toilet training sessions. A period when a sharp wack on the bare rump was more than often applied rather than a treat of candy. v, Maybe twelve to fourteen would be a gfood time to start over. This would put us in a period of at lest having some practical knowledge I would hope. ' , The first trip down memory lane last week came with the granddaughters granddaughters and an introduction in computer operation. My knowledge in the field, is to say thfc. least, somewhat limited but it didn't take me too long to realize the exercise of the equipment was only being scratched on the surface. Grandpa decided we could easily go a step or two forward. But with bits, bytes, menus and ICONS I was spending all my time in the definition chapter and so soon gave up. But I did take a whirl at a game similar to Concentration and was soundly whipped by Mandy. The second game 1 was able to keep up to a point but soon both of us were repeadly being dubbed. With a pencil pencil and paper we recorded all the remaining remaining symbols only to find there was no match-ups and had to determine determine that the program was out of whack someway or other. The computer is a far cry from the old graphite slate, piece of chalk and chalk-dusty brush. Saturday morning we were in-. Kendal News (Uumiucu irom pagcT) honey, also served to bring in customers. She goes on to tell some the things she has learned during her three years in business and some of the pit falls. , Someone phoned soon after we moved in and asked if we wanted to' buy two milking cows. How could we refuse two Jerseys? So 'we brought home these, animals that seemed like monsters, and theft realized we didn't have a milking pail. No one knew how to milk a cow so all the family took turns milking^ for two weeks. The livestock had provided us with some of, our most cherished moments, like when the first calf was born and Eric with our son Brad wheeled it into the barn in a barrow. There is something very satisfying about sitting in a^warm fragrant barn - nothing in the city can give exactly the same experience. experience.

During a group discussion in college college a black student related her first experience with racial differences., , When she was a small child she had an argument with a neighbour, a little little whit.e boy. Running home in tears, she cried, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, Johnny called jne Aunt ^Jemima." Her mother, who was both witty and wise replied, "Donit cry honey. At least he thinks you can cook!" .

Tomlinsons. Certainly there is no grass left to cut for Bill or weeds to pull from "the garden, the entire garden is a dirt track Mosport with banked corner, corner, jumps and curves. It was a major major undertaking for the teenage boys moving all the dirt around. I should mention * that the Tomlinsons do have a few healthy cabbages left in the infield. We wouldn't have dreamed of such forty-five years ago when a push dump truck that really dumped was something special. Here the boys were using $360 to $400 radio-controlled electric cars. It made me wonder why I would consider a price of $200 for hockey as somewhat high and then to add a similar amount for equipment. Plainly out of touch with present day realities. I was more in tune with the grandsons on Sunday, aged 2 and 5. They both like getting outside and are easy to talk into a hike and CYR OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK Monday - Saturday 9:00 - 9:00 Sunday 1.1:00 - 6:00 Energy alternative (Continued from page 1) thought. He also said there was a loss of energy through reduction of this voltage. The retired engineer outlined a safe and economical way to produce produce energy using the sun and space power stations. He said the technology is now available and safe and clean energy could be produced produced from a source that is unlimited. Unfortunately, he said, we don't co-operate to solve problems on a long term basis. He said the money spent by the East and the West in preparing for war would be more than enough to create the two space stations needed to collect and transmit energy to the earth from the sun. Lengyell said the toad blocks to providing safe energy are all political. Again like Dr. Bertell he said it was a requirement to have a concerned concerned and knowledgeable population population to call for change to have a safe environment for the future. besides Donna had made a purchase of a $12.00 kite. This purchase replaced two $2.99 kites which on a preious trip to Picton found oné wouldn't fly while the Other took off only to be last seen flying over the Picton Bay. 1 Nancy and Jim anti family live in "No" to uranium tainted sewage sludge Frank Stapleton, Town of Newcastle councillor and a member of the Port Granby Monitoring committee fias conveyed a message that uranium-tainted sewage sludge from Port Hope would not be welcomed at the Port Granby Eldorado dump. Stapleton has made the statement that the town and the committee are seeking the decommissioning of the dump, not adding additional contaminated contaminated material to the dump. Port Hope's environmental advisory advisory committee had received approval approval from Eldorado Resources Ltd. and from the Atomic Energy Control Board to use Port Granby for the disposal of the tainted sludge. an ideal location for kite flying, on an escarpement overlooking the bay. The kite, pre-assembled to a point was well balanced and most easy to get aloft. Interest was further further increased due to the fact that the kite had two-strings allowing the Jiandler to command aerobatics in the air. ' Spins, loops, hovering and dives ■were all part of the antics possible. However if you looped to the right you must then loop to the left to keep the strings parted and straight. It was easy to go into a tail spin. Jamie and I got a lot of laugh out of flying the thing with its 20 foot tail blowing in the breeze. I didn't have to wish I was a kid again ... I was.
