+â€"_â€" Hold two camps Good fences make good neigh bors. That‘s what poet Robert Frost told us in The Mending heart, though perhaps not in the way that Frost intended it t. We had two of the worst fences in town. One, at the back, was ours, leaning at a 45â€"degree angle over our neighbors‘ vegeâ€" table garden, and killing it ruth lessly, year after year. They, understandably annoyed, suggested a new fence. I was loath, after pricing fencing. But we agreed to split the cost of a mutual fence. And here‘s the kicker: He‘s a builder. I couldn‘t nail two boards together without mutilating myself. So I jumped at it. It was arranged that I would help him. You know: hold the boards; fetch nails, provide enâ€" couragement. As it turned out, he built the whole thing, singleâ€" handed. I always seemed to be busy when he had time to work on it. Didn‘t fetch a single nail. I felt rather sheepish, but not unduly so. I‘ve been getting away with this for years. Some time when he wants me to write a nasty letter to his creditors, I‘ll be glad to do it for him, and we‘ll be even. Painting began. My wife paintâ€" ed one panel of our side. We were away for a few days. When we returned, the whole fence was finished. His wife said, "I hope you don‘t mind that we went ahead and painted your side." I assured her we were deâ€" lighted. My wife hid, in shame, for two days. Wall. From our Then there was a big con ference about the color of the stain we‘d put on it. Our wives did most of the conferring. Jim said, and I agreed, "I don‘t give a damn if you paint it purple." Now he‘s going to use his power saw to cut up all my old dry cedar fence, and we‘ll have enough kindling for the fireâ€" place for two years, and the finest fence in town. How‘s that for neighbors? At least on one side of the fence. As the enroliment of the Uniâ€" versity of Waterloo increases, the number of players that wish to turn out for the football team also increases. ‘"We have so many players contacting us for a tryout that we have had to go to the twoâ€"camp set up this year. We feel that we should give the players the opportunity to show us what they can ao even though we know that a great many of them will not find a spot in intercollegiate competition,"‘ said Wally Delâ€" ahey, head football coach. "A great many high school players do not realize that there is a great difference between high school competition and inâ€" tercollegiate play. While a boy may have been a standout in high school, he‘s going against all the best standouts from the province when he steps into the intercollegiate scene. ‘With the players that we have not seen before, we try to give them an opportunity at the rookie camp. If they didn‘t come and tryout, they would always wonder how they would have done. And who knows, we may find a diamond in the rough."‘ The second fence, along the Warriors try out rookies with all my Bill Smiley side, is an atrocity, erected about the time of the war of 1812. It leans, lurches, and looks fortunately, it isn‘t ours, and the bird who owns it has no other interest in his property than collecting the rent from the series of unfortunates who move about every six months. I have toyed with the‘ idea of arson, but there are those numerous small children to consider. ‘~ But it‘s not only good fences that make good neighbors. There are other things. This week, our neighbors on the third side showed what they are made of. Their son, a university stuâ€" dent, works for the summer at a mental institution. On a fine summer day, he brought home two carloads of patients for a barbecue in their back yard. means to those poor devils â€" the patients, that is? Some of them had probably not been in a house in 30 years, but they were given the run of the house, as well as the back lawn. One of them said not a word all afternoon, but when it was over, he shook hands with his hostess and murmered: ‘"Goodâ€" bye. Thank you." It was a great achievement for him, according to those who knew him. Another, a pschizophrenic, exâ€" amined all the rooms in the house, verbally reâ€"arranged all the furniture, dabbled himself with any perfume or lotion avialâ€" able, and drew a portrait of the hostess, including a heart above her head, and a swastika in a basket. She wonders if he saw her as a benevolent dictator. How would you like a dozen nuts dumped in your back yard for a threeâ€"hour picnic? I‘d probâ€" ably go hide in the bathroom. Yet his parents were out there, talking to them, humoring them, feeding them, and simply being sympathetic and decent. It takes all kinds of neighbors, but I think we‘re pretty lucky. Luckier than our neighbors are, perhaps. They have only us. The Warrior camp for rookies opened Sept. 1. The rookies will work until today when an asâ€" sessment will be made. The players showing the potential for intercollegiate play will be inâ€" vited to the full training camp which holds its first training session tonight. Decrease likely in pork prices Increasing pork supplies on both sides of the U.S.â€"Canada border will likely force prices down next month, according to the September Food Outlook issued today by the Canada department of agriculture. Pork: With supplies increasing, prices are expected to we_akgn. _ Beef: With supply and demand almost balancing, little change in prices can be expected. _ Prices for other meats will reâ€" main steady. _ Eggs: Adequate supplies with prices advancing seasonally. what â€" it Crash rarely causes fire from a traffic crash is less than one in 200. This is one of the facts some people give for not using seat beltsâ€"‘"I don‘t want to risk being pinned inside a wreck if fire breaks out." quotes these other findings from a research study of fuelâ€"fed fires resulting from auto crashes. Although statistically rare, when they do occur the chances of exâ€" posed occupants being fatally burned are nearly one in four. Trucks seem more likely to burn after a crash than passenger cars. Rollover accidents, rather worst in terms of fire fatalities. FOUR left ... Nearing Completion Also an eightplex apartment unit nearing completion, in Lakeshore Village.
