RO 641777 WM. G. BEECH, General & Life Insurance 1166 WESTON ROAD Notary Public TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, New Hamburg, was the setting recently for the wedding of Erica Lass and Lennart Loevenmark. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lass, R. R. 1, Plattsville, are the bride‘s parâ€" ents, and the bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Gunnar Loevenmark, Toronto. Following a trip to Bermuda and Northern Ontario the couple have taken up residence in Weston. YORK TRAVEL BUREAU your telephone manager Any Weston area parent knows the magic that the telephone holds for children. Learning to use the teleâ€" phone properly, like learning to do many other things in the home, can be taught with a little preâ€"planning. Here are a few tips to help your youngsters use the phone correctly and courteously: 1. MAKE IT FUN TO LEARN: Teach your child how to answer the telephone promptly and in a friendly way. %. MAKE A FEW BASIC RULES â€" (and stick to them‘!): Explain to the children that their calls should be brief, that they should speak directly into the mouthpiece (and not shout), and that the receiver should be put down gently. 3. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT: Let your child call a friend, grandma or other special relaâ€" tive under your supervision. Using the telephone can build a child‘s confidence, expand his "social graces," and help him communicate effectively. Its "magic‘ can also be used advantageously to help instill in children those qualities of respect and responsibility that will ultimately mark them as mature adults. Occasionally, the question atises as to the best way to clean a telephone. The answer is quite simple: a damp cloth keeps any pmone clean and shining. Never clean your telephone with soap and water, as water may peneâ€" trate into the set and put your service out of order. Mr. Earl E. Jarvis, Incidentally, the outer plastic shell doesn‘t require any special waxes or polishes â€" it‘s "selfâ€"shining"! Milady‘s kitchen, which replaced the hall in 1959 as the most favoured location for the telephone, is still the front runner according to the Company‘s latest study of customer attitudes and preferences: 42% of customers had telephones in the kitchen â€" almost twice as many as in the hall. (In 1958, the proportion was 33% hall, and 31% kitchen.) Other preferences today: living room, 19%; bedâ€" room, 15%; dining room, 7%. FOR ALL TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS TO ANYWHERE room, 15%; dining room, 7%. The study also shows that extension phones are found in one out of five homes, and that 38% of residence cusâ€" tomers have telephones in colout, BELL LINES TOTS AND THE TELEPHONES CLEANING PROBLEM? KITCHEN FAVOURED RO 6â€"4603 Gould Stalls ed. He called on the township for better liason with the affectâ€" ed homeowners. The Ward 2 councillor stated that all traffic would have to use Church Street for access to Jane and would have to pass by Humber Memorial Hospital. He said he could not see that there was any rush in the matter and ask that he be granted time to look into the matter. Weston approved the closure month ago. (Continued from page 1) Everybody talks about the joys of summertime but nobody likes to mention the annual scourge that it bringsâ€"in its sunny wake. I‘m referring, of course, to that act of mass cowardice on the part of the teaching profession when they close down the schools at the end of June and flee to Rome or Switzerland on what they claim is an educational tour, which will make them better teachers. This often means only that they learn to yodel or how to say, "Let‘s go out and paint the figâ€"leaves red" in Italian, both of which are fun but hardly essential for teaching Grade 6. to have the children to herself for the next two months. Of course, teachers will claim that they have 30 children for five days a week, for 10 months of the year, but they overlook the fact that they have a principal, a schoolboard and a school inspector on their side, as well as an armoured and padlocked restroom, an hour for lunch and a wellâ€"paid contract. They also have a union which looks after them tenderly and a janitor who comes and wipes up the results of treacle pudding and root beer fudgsicle followed by a fast round of skipping. On the other hand, a Mum often has nothing except her native cunning and a badge for regular attendance which she won when she went to Sunday school and it is with these pitiful weapons that she must stem the barbaric hordes, at the same time as she hands out a constant supply of buns and bandâ€"aids. _ Meantime, who is it who has locked herself in the bathroom to get away from Magilla Gorilla? Good old Mummy. And it is Mummy who is beginning to twitch at the thought that she is going Of course, it‘s true that Mummies have Daddies to help but owing to our economic setup, fathers can only give moral support (which is the same kind you get from an old girdle) because they carefully see to it that they‘re not there when the children‘s hamâ€" ster gets trapped behind the refrigerator or someone leaves a foot in the lawnâ€"mower. The urgency has gone out of the situation by the time fathers stagger home from their airâ€"conditioned offices â€" I mean, the blood has been wiped up and all toes are accounted for. Of course, emergencies of this kind don‘t happen every day of the summer holidays, but they happen often enough for Mum to realise that summer must be a closed season for guardian angels. Take an average sort of day, without any real catastrophes worth mentioning. Even before breakfast, the children have been in to see what Mum‘s going to do about the rain and whether they can have banana iceâ€"cream for the picnic and if they don‘t go on the picnic, will she take them to the horror film at the Roxy? "It‘s all about this vampire, see and he‘s had an accident anh he has to suck people‘s blood through a straw, see, because something‘s wrong with his sucker â€" real neat, huh, Mum â€" and there‘s a screaming skull which keeps rolling around and this week you get a big bag of buttered popcorn for only ten cents with a real diamâ€" ond ring inside . . ." After this, breakfast seems a bit of an antiâ€" climax, but Mum tries to eat something because she knows she will need all her strength and sanity before the day is over. By 10 o‘clock the rain has stopped and she can send them outside to play, which is what they‘ve been waiting for, but once they can go outside, they don‘t want to and Mum spends the rest of the morning picking children out of her hair and wondering whether her old boss would have her back if she bought a new girdle and had a perm. â€" Lunch is uneventful except that everyone counts everyone else‘s pieces of raisin bread and cries of "Greedy pig!" and "Girls are so gutsier than boys" ring around the kitchen; this gives Mum the opportunity of pointing out that some poor children in other countries never have raisin bread or anything nice to eat and have only yaks to ride on instead of comfortable cars. This is a mistake, since it turns out that everyone present is tired of raisin bread and would much rather have a yak than a car, and the bright child of the family poinst out that yaks don‘t run people over or have to be insured, so it‘s more sensible to have a yak. By the time the meal is finished, Mum is almost convinced she should turn her old Austin in on a hardly â€" used yak, if she can find one. The day is already beginning to take its toll, so it‘s fortunate that Mum doesn‘t have to make a decision about the picnic because it starts to rain again. She loads the kids into the car, drives them five miles to the movie. sees them into the lobby with all sorts of instructions about waiting right there to be picked up, keeping together and not talking to strangers. Then she drives home with Junie, the youngest, who decides to go and play with Bobby who lives over the road; this gives Mum a chance to lie down for half an hour in the delightful, tombâ€"like silence of the house. The first time the phone rings, someone wants to know if this is the Municipal Waterworks, the second time the phone rings, it‘s the bank manager asking how late their loan repayment is going to be this month since he has to deâ€" cide whether to break into his piggybank. At least, this is the impression he gives. After this, Mum gets up and prepares supâ€" per; it‘s no good lying there any longer anyway because she‘d only start counting tins of beans. She reflects gloomily that she‘s been worrving about the wrong things most of her life. Certainly the Ice Man cometh,. but it‘s the bailiff who cometh oftener. â€" By the time she arrives at the cinema, she‘s late and there are no children in sight. She finally finds them in the third milkâ€"bar she visits and two of them are crving and the other is smeared with chocolate iceâ€"cream. They all look dirty and neglected and it‘s obvious that evervone in the store regards her as a bad mother. The children make the situation worse my cowering and giving the impression that they‘ll be beaten to a pulp when they get home. Of course, the day isn‘t over yet but no doubt you can see what I mean. _ It is days like these which make mothers feel that school holidays are far too long: two weeks would be more than enough because it only takes a few days for the ijoy of being out of school to evaporate and children to start asking, "What can we do now, Mum?" But the great thing for all Mums to remember is that whatâ€" ever they do or don‘t do, the children are going to be bored. Resign yourself cheerfully to this and enjoy the summer. This is part of the school holiday tradition and it was the same when we were girls; why, if it hadn‘t been for the long summer holidays, some of us would never have made the important discoveries of life, such as smoking or sex or that ants are not really edible. ‘That investment you have in your home is an asset in more ways than one.
