The dads, the lucky ones who are able to be on holiâ€" days with their families, are bubbling with joy. You can tell by the way they affecâ€" tionately cuff their kids, roll their eyes until the whites show (sheer ecstasy), when their wives hand them a oneâ€"foot shopping list, and stroll tranceâ€"like through the supermarket, knocking down little old ladies. The other dads, the unâ€" lucky ones who have to stay in the city and work while the family is at the cottage, are pretty sad. You can tell by the way they act after work. Some of them, just the odd one or two, haven‘t even the heart to go home to that silent, lonely house. They know they‘d burst inâ€" to tears. So they just head, with a miserable, bereft gleam in their eye, to the nearest airâ€"conditioned bar. Poor devils. No one to talk to except goâ€"go girls. Some of the betterâ€"adâ€" justed, unlucky dads, of course, don‘t do that. They go straight home from work and straight to the refrigeraâ€" tor. Then they tear off their shirts and shoes. Then they look at the kitchen sink, almost throw up, shrug manâ€" True, the workers are working, but they‘re just back from their twoâ€"weeksâ€" withâ€"pay, peeling gloriously Ed bragging about the senâ€" tional place they found, with hot and cold running rats, or they‘re looking forâ€" ward to their two weeks at Camp Missevathing. So everybody is happy. The children are delightful, graceful, brown little things, with ice cream smeared around their mouths. The mothers are strutting around in garments for which they‘d have been thrown in the penitentiary 20 years ago. And loving it. (I personally think some of them should still be incarâ€" cerated, but personal opinâ€" ions have no place in an obâ€" jective column . ) The sun is like a bronze hammer. But at night you need a blanket. The swimâ€" mers are swimming, the sailors are sailing, the golfâ€" ers are golfing, and the drinkers are drinking. Ah, this is a grand time of the year, entirely.

Facilities for the game have been made available to the community services board by Mutual Life Asâ€" surance Co. of Canada. And, naturally, summer spawns the motorâ€"cycle gang. This is the wolverine of the twoâ€"legged animal. It destroys for pleasure and leaves its stink everyâ€" where. But it‘s a pretty good world. Have a happy sumâ€" mer. ~ Then there‘s the powerâ€" boat baby. He can be any age from eightâ€"to 80. But with 50 horses behind him, he‘s Kirk Douglas, or Burt Lancaster or John Wayne or somebody. He‘s trying to prove something. needs it or not. He‘s probâ€" ably just trying to get away from his wife‘s incessant babble. And, of course, in summer in Canada, and every where I guess, we have the summer animals. Raccoon are cute, but a pain in the arm to campers. Bears are sweet, too, but a menace in the proâ€" vincial parks. Tip to campâ€" ers: if you want to stroke a bear, make sure you do it with your artificial arm. But we can cope with these animals. What conâ€" cermns me is the ones that walk upright. They come in all sizes and intensities. There is the mild little man who powerâ€"mows his lawn every night, whether it fully, and turn on the teleâ€" vision. Waking with a start at 10 p.m., they phone and order some Chinese food. Then they turn on the lawn sprinkler. This is the only known positive method to make sure it rains all night. Then there are the hap py,. irrepressible teenagers. You can spot them, regardâ€" less of sex, by their hump. They have all been told, all through their lives, to keep their shoulders back and heads up. As a resutt, they walk with their heads on their chests and shoulders humped. That, not clothes or hair, is the main reason you can‘t differentiate beâ€" tween the sexes. How can you tell it‘s a girl if she isn‘t sticking her chest out? Lawn bowling * He needs a home % This laddie has a variety of other problems, none serâ€" ious.

No restrictions or precautions are prescribed and no surgery is predicted. He has a yearly check for this and when he contracts infection, penicillin combats it.

Thâ€" ough he expresses himself Ray has rather a pixieâ€" ish look which makes him very appealing. It‘s because his eyelids droop â€" the right considerably, the left slightâ€" ly â€" and because he is inâ€" clined to carry his head to one side. Surgery has corrected the condition somewhat, but it is still apparent, and perâ€" haps further cosmetic surâ€" gery will be recommened later. His vision is not afâ€" fected, however.
