There‘s nothing wrong with the new system except that, like evâ€" ery other new system, it‘s lousy, compared to the old one, which was also lousy. As I prophesied With such an active, strenuous summer behind me,. it was good to get back to the orderly job of teaching, where you have to do things whether you feel like it or not. And ever since, I‘ve been as owly as a wolf with a toothâ€" ache, because we have a new sysâ€" had a great season. She shot her first game last week: Five holes at $16 a hole. And the club is closed now. I was going to play a lot of golf and get fit. I even talked my wife into playing, and paid her fees. I played about eight times, and got fit all right. I now fit size 33 pants instead of 31. But my wife Then there was the hedge. I was going to tear it out and plant a new one. The old one was getâ€" ting rotten in spots. It‘s still there. Another plan was to rent a ehain saw and cut up all the huge oak limbs piled along the fence, for use in the fireplace. They‘re still there. Speaking of fences, there was to be a new one this year. But I couldn‘t get at the old one because of all those oak limbs (piled against it. Pretty (rustralhgg. in a direct line with the washer, #o that you have to walk around it every time. This creates some interesting comments. My major project of the sumâ€" mer was to have been putting a new top on a little back porch, under which we put our garbage cans. There‘s an ingenious lid that opens, made of twoâ€"byâ€"fours. One hinge was going and a couple of_t_!n_eAtimbers were loose. With winter coming on, both hinges are broken right off, and when you want to put something in the garbage cans, you don‘t lift the lid. You lift eight twoâ€"byâ€" fours, singly, pile them up, put the junk in, then replace them. It takes only about five minutes. And every time you go through the operation, it‘s raining. And I can prove it. There‘s still a sordid little heap of dust, deterâ€" gent and other basement garbage gitting there, proof positive that I got one corner swept out. It‘s end went, and here we are headâ€" ing into dismal November, and Em farther behind with everyâ€" thing than I was last June. . On the second day of July, I Regan cleaning up the basement.

The maples come down like a shower of dandruff. Elms and butternut trickle down with malicious perversity. And the blasted oaks wait until everything else is raked and the snow is fallâ€" ing, before they condescend to contribute their confetti. Oh well, life is the only one we have. But I can tell you one thing. There‘ll be no more $54.00 phone bills for one month of wifeâ€" andâ€"daughter talks about nothing. For the past two years, my most frequent comment to her was, "Now, you be in at a reasonâ€" able hour." This time, we couldn‘t get her out of the house. On the Saturday, I drove her downtown and said, "Get out of the car and go and see somebody." She was home in an hour. k So my daughter came home from first month of university: Bewildered, full of hangups about courses, and desperately lonely. Thanksgiving I looked forward to a chance to get caught up on everything, get out in the open and relax, see the colors of fall, and forget about the system (after all, just a lot of honest men tryâ€" ing to do a good job. No women, strangely enough). It‘s something like the Book of Kings. Paperwork begat more paperwork, Rules begat Regulaâ€" tions at an alarming rate, and Committees begat â€" Committees like so many rabbits. (There goes my chance of ever getting anyâ€" where in the profession). Don‘t worry, I can stand sysâ€" tems. I wasn‘t in the air force for four years without learning how to beat them. You don‘t defy them, you just chew away from within, like a termite,. until they collapse. â€" RR 1, Waterloo 664â€"2482 Second house from Wagner‘s Corner on Heidelberg Road crease in red tape and inefficienâ€" John‘s Nursery Shrubs Blue Spruce Shade & Fruit Trees Hedging At Low Prices â€" Right "rom The Grower Patio & Sidewalk Stones year ago, costs have escalated The net increase in estate, trust and agency assets since Deâ€" cember is $138,102,000. $112,818,000.
