contemplating a strike at the time of your project 1 predict he will say no but you can ask If your chosen artisan Is nonunion another problem arises Although a large number of Newmarkets residents

Yes I know make 4 game plan is optional but play if you wish Dealer A sells the carpet and hires Installer j who hires Installer 2 who is also Dealer For those now lost go back three spaces to Dealer A This game can be played at home or office and offers boundless opportunities for fun For instance who takes responsibUity for the job or Fast buck Can Dealer B Impress you sufficiently to you to bypass Dealer A next lime or Keeping an eye to the future If theres too much carpet Dealer A overordered if theres too little someone took it home or Carpet carpet whos got ihe carpet If Dealer A loses touch with Installers 1 and he loses Unless you are redecorating your office dont the tradesman what you do for a living He may not like it We were slowed down because one didnt like

of trees will be among the first to go when the subdivision starts The houses I am told will come right down to my fence and when I look out the bedroom window Ill probably look into the eyes of another chap looking out of his bedroom window The flooding will probably stop thoughEach trbtixadS your fingers walk If youre lucky like us youll find one you like Now that you know the facts of construction life go ahead and get it done When its finished youll be like a new father proud as punch and feeUng like you did it alt yourself Until then may I suggest a large supply of tranquillizers Queens park Report by Bill Hodgson Ontarios efforts to stimulate economic growth and create jobs appear to be paying dividends The most recent statistics available showed an increase in the national unemployment rate from per cent to 81 per cent at the same time as our own rate dropped from per cent to 68 per cent Weve still got a long way to go but its good to know were oh the right track Since

basements flooded with muddy brown water from the back field My neighbour to the right can hardly negotiate his driveway for the swirling rushing water On my left the dog next door must evacuate his little house or do the dog paddle Pails are needed in the back cellar where water gushes out between the blocks I cant say that Ill miss that But there was the kinship in standing outside with ones neighbors in boots and slickers watching nature on its regular rampage And waiting for the men from the works department who were always out handling similiar floods elsewhere in town Ill miss the toads Sounds silly and I know my wife will bid them a fond farewell Toads can always be found in my backyard now Our dog wandering the fence line each night finds them all the time He runs to the back door scratches and barks then back beside the warty invader where he sits and takes up a patient vigil The toad will not move a wart Nor will the dog It might be an hour before someone checks the

Rachel Sullivan will celebrate her birthday of the Centre which is acheduled motorcycle tracks commence at pm Sept 17 But I know why I wont miss some of that aw chased out of the field by bikers or floods or whatever Some of them in the past have taken up residence in the back yard and thats no fun I will miss the signs of spring and fall The colour and the birds in the summer And hell as much as I hate winter Ill still miss the blanket of white that covers the field after a snow storm Weve taken a lot of pictures though People wonder why the family photo album has so many shots taken over
