Down in Ottawa, the waf- fling and weaving and duck- ing and bobbing go on, ministers fall like autumn leaves, and nobody lets the left side of his mouth know what the right side is saying. Trudeau, after losing a dozen able ministers in the last half-dozen years, totters along with a turncoat Tory, Jack Horner, insensitive ar- like Otto Lang, and political retreads like Bryce Mackasey, who, as 1 recall “‘solved’* the last postal strike in only six weeks, thrusting out a tentacle to. pick up the latest poll, before retreating into the rocks once again.

My daughter, with three degrees, is working as a file clerk, an honorable vocation, but scarcely one to make the creative impulses throb. My son-in-law: is looking : for. a job, a rather harrowing business these days. And my grandboys are out of all those fine new clothes we bought them last spring. The only thing they’re not out of is energy and fiendish ability to dismantle things that electrical engineers would be afraid to touch.

News: Our meeting of Oct. 24, at which we invited the public to discuss our program and fire protection in general, was very successful, We had a good group of interested citizens present and wevhad a good opportunity to discuss some of the things of prime importance to them, We feel, at this point, that we, the committee, have. in- vestigated everything fairly thoroughly and we feel we have done everything possible to ensure the voting public have had every opportunity to learn and discuss this subject, so ‘as other areas such as Trail, Warfield, Ymir, Oasis, Castle- gar, Christina Lake, etc. one can't help but feel ht is on the right track. People from the above areas have come forward on their own and, in one way or another, have offered help or encouragement, which I feel is quite outstanding, To them I say thank you. Your contributions of interest have given this committee that much’ more determination to see the Robson and District Volunteer Fire Dept. come into being. Thave, in a previous letter, indicated our appreciation of all the help and we to be able to vote ot come election day. - If there are some who are not familiar enough with our information, or who would like to discuss one thing or the other, I invite them to contact myself or any other member of the committee. The response to date to our program has becn most gratify- ing. We thank the public for ‘their indulgence and co-opera- tion. We look forward now to see the results of our efforts following the casting of the: ballots, Our involvement in this effort has been most stimulat- ing. When one sees the support and interest of people from received from so many people. I did, however, neglect to men- tion one group of very impor- tant and hard-working people. The ladies who prepared and served coffee and donuts at _ our general certainly make sure your ballot is counted. i The commitee will make themselves available to assist in whatever way necessary on election day. One thing we plan* to do is provide a ride to the polls for anyone requiring one. If you can make use of this service, just call 365-6136 and we'll make sure you get there and back, In closing, I offer the fol- lowing: whichever way you feel about this issue, it won't amount to a plugged nickel if you do not cast your vote, Whether the result comes out in your favor or not, you'll at least have the peace of mind of knowing you had your say. See you at the polls. R.E.

Put a circle around the date of Nov. 18 and Humor, Faith and Track Shoes I always knew mothers of large families had survival kits. Inever knew what was in them ‘until I talked last week with six mothers who tallied up a total of 55 children. They spoke freely, frankly and anonymously of their per- sonal population, explosion. Here's what I found in the kit. A hard shell: To protect them, from “nut columnists” who call and ask, “Did you plan for a family of 10?” (“Only generals plan for invasions, honey.”) To protect them from 3 and mothers-in-law sist, “You know I can't go theoweh another one of your pregnancies.” To protect them from friends’ who fake enthustasm for their latest arrival, then add; “T féel like a seal in a cireus Erma Bombeck saying that.” To protect them from honest friends who cele- brate the newest arrival by sending a sympathy card, * A grain of salt: To be taken “when neighbors drop off a carload of kids on their door- step with instructions to “Mix.” She'll never know the differ- ence.” To be taken when carry- out boys at the supermarket conduct a running pool each week to see who comes closest to your register tape total; To be taken when a chi-chi mother of two confides, “But, Engineers Honor Local Man With Highest Award A Castlegar man, Elmer W.

We have to have two cars to go on vacation.” “We fit,” said another, “But after 10 kids in a car on a four-hour ride, I'm'ready for a running jump into the lake.") A book of faith: To be read - when you're tired of tending one baby and expecting anoth- er. To be read when you have to explain why “Tim" down the street can’t spend the night or one child can't have a room of his own. To be clutched to the bosom when you realize you've got a houseful of healthy kids and some women have none. A sense of humor: To be opened and enjoyed wher you realize you've made a no-inci- dent trip away from home for two hours with the kids, then realize you left one at home. To be enjoyed when’ you call one child by:six names before you stumble on the right one; To be enjoyed when your husband climbs into the car, looks over his shoulder, and says, “Good grief, lady, do all these kids belong to you?
