readers. While I was there, I composed a descriptive poem of my holiday place, Lake Joseph Holiday Centre for the Blind. Blind vacationers from all over Ontario love to go I have enjoyed another wonderful twoâ€"week vacaâ€" tion and wish to share my To the lovely CNIB holiday centre at Lake Joe On Highway Number 69 near Parry Sound Enhanced by the beautiful scenery of Muskoka all aâ€" round. This summer place is nestâ€" led in among the trees. _ JÂ¥ Where one hears a babâ€" bling brook and strolls through nature trails â€" Designed for blind people to follow along guide rails.

Every year we look forâ€" ward to meeting old and new friends.

Not so, said Mr. Sykes. Arguing that business men are, generally, ethical and honest, he claimed they must successfully provide goods and services which the public will accept.

We need a Godâ€" oriented _ citizenry _ who will use their Godâ€"given talâ€" ents from a foundation of Etâ€" ernal Truths. The problems of the world today will not be solved by changing bordâ€" ers, changing political sysâ€" tems or new legal concepts.

PATRICIA YOUNG, 1030 Nanton Ave., Vancouver 9, B.C. Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo Record _ Usually, by now, municiâ€" pal councils are begging citiâ€" zens to go easy with their â€"lawn sprinklers, or flatly threatening _ householders with a fine if they use them at all. Brown, â€" burned â€"crisp lawns are common by midâ€" August. Not at our place this year. We haven‘t used our sprinkler since the first week in July and the lawn is alarmingly â€" verdant and growing like weeds, which of course a good portion of ours is. I don‘t know how you‘ve fared, but so far it‘s been a parts. Instead of the "sunny with scattered showers‘", it ‘"‘rainy with scattered sunâ€" Not much one can do aâ€" bout it. But my heart goes out to the poor devils who are tenting. There‘s the long day of putâ€" tering about in the sun, fishâ€" ing, swimming, gathering firewood, relaxing. For the men and children, that is. There‘s the long day of putâ€" tering about with dishes, cooking meals, fooling with balky gas stoves, and adminâ€" istering first aid to sundry scrapes, cuts and bites, for the lady. Few women like tenting. Tenting is great fun under ideal conditions. It‘s about as close as we can come to really getting back to natâ€" ure. There‘s the pleasure of finding that choice campsite with a mere 30â€" degree list, the solid satisfaction of getting the tent up on the fourth try, the adventure of exploring a new camp and its adjacent waters. But even for them there are joyful aspects. When the last pot has had its black bottom cleaned with sand, when the last child has been tucked away, milady can perch her weary tailbone on a stump or a stone by the campfire, look into the blueâ€" redâ€"orange flames, and dream of the glorious day when this ghastly trip is over and she‘,, be back in her castle, with a proper stove, refrigerator and autoâ€" matic washer, She sits there, counting on her fingers, with a dazed smile.

Gait metro area Bill Smiley ellette pyjamas, crawl into the huddle of blankets on the camp cot which is tilted toward her head, and shudâ€" der for hours with a combiâ€" nation of cold and fear of the things that go bump in the night. What tops it all is that about 3 a.m. she disâ€" covers that she has to go to the bathroom. It‘s purely psychological, of course. But it‘s quite an ordeal. The filashlight doesn‘t work, and the little house with the facilities is 80 yards away, across ground that is craw}â€" ing with snakes and spiders, with a bear behind every tree. This is where she gets her revenge. Whining and whimpering, she rouses her spouse from a deep, sweet slumber and issues an ultiâ€" matum: either he gets up and goes with her, holding her hand all the way, or she starts packing and they head for home right now. This is known in some circles as wedded bliss. But nothing could be better calculated to put another nail in the coffin of their marriage. I‘ve portrayed so far only the good side of tenting, when the weather is fine. But put yourself in the boots of the miserable male who has rented a tent for his two â€" weeks â€" with, takes the wife and three kids, and gets one halfâ€"sunny day, the rest cold or raining. On the third day the guarâ€" anteed water â€" proof tent beâ€" gins to leak. The firewood doesn‘t even smoulder. The kids are going hairy with boredom. There isn‘t a piece of dry clothing to be had. The wife has stopped speakâ€" ing entirely. The tent is full of ants who are smart enâ€" ough to get in out of the rain. What to do? If he packs and goes home, it is obvious that the sky will clear and there‘ll be a heat wave. If he insists they stick it out, he will earn the undying hatred of his wife and the sullen contempt of his kids. Give me the tenting life any day: the sizzle of frying bacon, the scent of wood smoke, the clean, cool air for sleeping, the murmuring talk by the campfire. But don‘t give me tenting on the cold,; damp ground, as Stephen Foster didn‘t put it.
