And it Goesn’t help matters any
to be in a constant state of exasper-
ation over housework, Living in Wil-
liams Lake undoubtedly has advan-
tages, but right now I (along with
90% of the female population) coula
cheerfully toss the whole town in
the lake. Trying to cope with the
acres of dust and mud that accumu-
late day in and day out wears-the
patience unbearably thin at times.

When I compare taking care of
this apartment with my Mother's
home at New Westminster, I could
weep. Once in two or three” days
she finds it necessary to flick a dust

around, compared to my possible
two or three times a day. Once a
week she runs the vacuum lightly
over the rugs, while I am momentar-
ily expecting my vacuum to collapse
from the yeoman service it performs
every single day.

Yes, spring is in the air... . but
I can’t smell it for the dust choking
my nostrils.

Speaking of spring, we gathered
our first pussy willows on the Dog
Creek road Sunday. We had to keep
our eyes peeled for the tiny silver
buds as there are few out as yel,
but we were rewarded with a few
pungent branches of spring's fore-
runner.

Even Elaine remarked
those pussy wittles!”

Before coming home, we made our
usual Sunday visit to the sub-di-
vision where our bare little lot sits
patiently waiting for its house.swe

dered under the trees, talked with

where will it all end?

Carpenters are now asking for

The wage demand is had enough, but
a 35-hour week seems to be stretching
things too far,

This little story is totally- unrelat-

So you can imagine how I felt
when I heard of the plight of a family
in Vancouver. It started when the
couple wanted to adopt twin - boys,
not expecting to have children of
their own. They waited and waited,
but twin boys are not easily come by
— so they finally took one baby boy
from the welfare home. Some months
later, the welfare home phoned to
say that they had twin boys for adop-
tion and would take the other baby
