B RGOr'K1l N ELECTRO"NICS (Hwy. 12 North of Taunton) famiy' is always a great cop-out such as "I've got the sanie nase as great-uncle Henry and he always snores in church too" or "No wonder I'm absent- minded, second cousin Sarah twice-removed is 50 absent-minded she once forgot one of ber children and didn't miss him until tbe next reunion 1" 0f course, tbey bave their good points as well sucb as putting a suspicious busbands mind at rest wben be discovers tbat there are several otber red beads in is wife's family as weil as junior and be can start baving the milk deivered again. One of the worst aspects of these occasions is the elderly relative with the long memory. Tbe old dear toddles up to some fortyisb respectable business man and exclaîms "Se you're Jack's littie boy, tbe last time I saw you, you bad long hair and a beard, kept banding out iove-beads and asking everyone to drop-out and join your commune" - in front of bis kids too 1 Then tbere's always tbe unpleasant sbock that cames with running into the bandsome uncle everyone said you're the spittin' image of oniy to find tbat he naw weigbs three bundred pounds and is as bald as an eagle. Or to have spent several tbousand dollars having your nase fixed and your teetb straigbtened only to have everyone tell you youbhaven't changed a bit. Se don't attend family reunilons unless you're prepared ta bhave your ego deflated and above ail don't take the kids unless you were the perfect angel wben you were young that you've been teliing tbem you were. But do by ail means go ta your spouse's next reunion if you're looking for ammunitian for your next spat. It should be a goid mine!

The 30year Whitby resident also maintains that Witby has insu!- ficient recreational facilities ta serve her ever growing population. "They are short on everything," Verrydt said adding that there are 10 soccer teams in Braoklin that have no where ta play. Ail soc- cer fields available ta them are on private property.
