Stark Naked Don't get excited over the above caption for I haven't been streaking down the Main Street nor have any intentions to do so but psychologically I did have the feeling feeling late last Saturday afternoon of being 'stark naked'. , It all started a week ago last week-end on a visit to Picton when buckling Billy into the car seat belt I had placed the binoculars on top of the car. Of course in the process I forgot all about them and drove off never to retreive them, I hated to loose them since they have been around from the time we departed on a houseboat trip on the Trent canal system some years ago. Other than that I had forgotten about the lose. Well that was the case until last Saturday afternoon. Driving back to the Ganaraska Forest Saturday for a walk along one of the trails I had a feeling something was missing. It didn't take'long to realize that it was the binoculars I was missing ... they just were not with me. It surprised me to get this feeling but then they have been hanging around my neck on such outings for Town asked to tender garbage collection - in all fairness (Continued from page 1) costs be based on a uniform rate for each of the residential and commercial commercial sections of the Town.

Counc. Cowman pointed out that was waiving their purchasing policy in not asking for tenders and said each farmer would be paying up to $125.00 for garbage pick-up. She the last ten or so years. An old friend just wasn't there anymore and this realization was even stronger when a number of birds made their presence known. I - almost wanted to throw a stone into the tree or fence post to scare them off for being so bold and me so unprepared. unprepared. Maybe it was not so much a feeling feeling of being stark naked but rather the lose of an old friend. Love That Ann Landers By any stretch of the imagination I am not a reader of Ann Landers ■but turning over the pages of the daily press last week my attention ' was taken to her column due to the heading.

McKnight was assured that no decision would be made on the process until it comes back to the General Purpose committee.

George remembers D-Day June 6th, has come and gone - just as it does every year, but for some of you older folk the memory lingers bn. What were you doing on that date in 1944? Remember "D" Day? So many of us had waited and suffered suffered so long, Tor the invasion of France to happen, it often seemed that it would never materialize, but suddenly overnight it became a reality. Were you at home here in Canada, listening on the radio? (No TVs in those days!!) , Were you in a. landing craft, (throwing up?!!) or on the bçaeh (too busy to throw up! !•!) Maybe you were in a plane, "Doing your thing," or perhaps you were in a warship covering the, landing! Whatever, you must have memories. Thé hardést part must have ]been for the wives , and mothers, back home arid not knowing knowing "What"!! (There must have been a lot of prayers uttered that day.) I sincerely hope they were answered satisfactorily. Let me indulge you briefly of my memories, After being at sea almost, continually from 1939, in practically practically every theatre of operations, the big day finally came, and I along with abbut 150 more Royal Marines, were on board a brand new cruiser, in dock in the north of England. The ship had only just been built, and had never been to sea. We waited all day (in full equipment) ready to move south - but nothing happened. Toward evening the "Skipper" notified us that the' Marines could "stand down" for it had been decided that the Army, was doing alright without us!! But he added an after thought to the effect that he had something else'in mind for us. Several weeks later we joined the American flèet in the South Pacific, and were in action off Okinawa and lowjima and ' believe me the Japanese "suicide" bombers were no joke, and being at sea for six to eight weeks at a time, without even seeing land, much less going ashore, . can get rather tedious. *■ However, I did get to visit a lot of Japan when it was all over, including including Hiroshima, and Nagasaki to view the aftermath of the (Atomic Bomb) which were "childs toys" compared with what we face today. Heaven help us if there is ever a repeat performance. So although I missed "D" Day, I feel, I still got the best of a bad bargain. At least the weather was good where I was!!
