CORRIDOR AREA RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION executive tobegin meetings on n srpis istweek For the past year they have faithfuiîy paid their water bis. For oniy two people, the bis seemed a bit steep. They.had their buis assessed and found that their suspicions were weli founded. The Piphers wili receive a refund of around $1 00.00 from the Region because of overcharges.

Borrowed cars, w hile',being driven by me have been known t9o produce sounds heretofore unknownto man, thereby leaving a trail of puzzled mrechanics and, be- wildered car rentaI agents. 4 There is one machine in my home over which 1 féeeli have Ifinally triumphed but 1 am being very careful not to let the machine know, just in case. We have been adver- saris fr yars nd t.'Il started a few years, ago we pucaed at a second hand store, in Fenlon Falls an, old Îtreradletype sewing.machi ne. 1 got the bright idea one other time i Orillia 'of bùying a second hand rebuilt modern elec- tric sewing machine head and with a littie work installing iL in the treadle cabinet, thereby having the best 'of both worlds. I should have krown better. However, undaunted by previous bad luck, I sought out and eventually found a rebuilt machine which I figured Ask us Corne and tel' us what youre lookîng for in a job.

But somehlow the new head m-ust haVe decided thiat 1 coîild adalipt it to fit and old housing but 1 couldn't force it to sew and boy was it right!!!..' I tried al .methods to geL that machine to sew, asked everybody who even looked like they might know something about sewing machines including many of the manufactur- ers ' agencies and after each- visit to the sewing machine doctor, it would be pronounced fit and weil, but when 1 got home the stupid thing 'wouldn't sew. It would break needies, break thread and 'for a w1file threatened to break my sanity. It was -truly a battie of man against machine and the machine seemed to be winning. 1Then 1 changed my battie- tactics, and after having an unsuccessful bout with the machine would bundle it Up. in the corner and totally ignore iL for months at a timne. When company came and asked what the lump was in the corner I would announce in' a very loud voice that iL was a nice looking sewing machine but was worth virtually nothing- bé6cause it* wouidnt'tsew and that one day when I1 felt ambitious 1 wouid chuck iL in the garbage. This ploy-wont on for over a'year and stili, each ime 1 would drag the machine out and set it up, it would not sew. Sometimes it would go through the motions but in, the end when, I checked to see what I had sewn, the Lhread would fali limply to the floor and the.,machine, would make a littie sound which was suspiciously like the sound a machine would make if it- were laughing. L-ast week we had another tussie. 1 had a number of coats w ith zippers that were ffalling away, a pair of jeans that needed a seemnmended and a couple of shirts that also need- ed'attention. I steeled myseif Lo once again do bate with this obstinate sewing machine and fortîfied with a strong drink I dragged the machine out, plugged iL in and set every- thing up as I had so countless many times before. As usual it broke the Lhread before 1 had gone scarcely an inch but-I persisted.
