It's a proud moment for parents when a son or daughter graduates, and many parents felt as I did last Friday night when their children stepped up to receive that al important diploma. But I can tell you what I had to go through to get to that commencement ex- ercise left me exhausted. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that I just don't live right. Of ail nights, I was late getting home to dinner. I bolted it down and had indigestion within 10 min- utes. I had promised to take my father to Oshawa, so dashed off, picked him up away we went. When I got back my wife and daughter were both ir the bathroom-and you just have to know there was no room for me. I pounded on the door and screamed through the key- hole until they finally came out. "We are all ready and you haven't even dressed yet," my wife said. "I'm supposed to be there early," my daugh'ter chimed in, "Can't you hur- ry it up a little nlease?" "Clear the stairway I'm taking them three at a time," I yelled as I dashed off through the living room. The minutes were click- ing away and I knew it had to be a sprint on my part to make the school on time. Just like in the movies, I couldn't find the shirt I wanted and someone had put my favorite cuff-links at the back of my drawer, where of course, I never thought of looking. "We're going to be late," my daughter hollered up the stairs. Pulling on my coat, I bounded down the stairs where my wife and daugh- ter were walting and throw- ing me hostile looks. "No woman on this earth ever got ready as fast as I have," I told them. We were on the way to the car when I stopped dead in my tracks. "Now what's wrong," ny wife asked. "I have to go back. I have forgotten something," I said. "I have the tickets for parking and the door," my wife said. She never trusts me with important things like tickets. "I won't be long," I shouted over my shoulder, while running back to the house. I could hear the cries of anguish in the background. When we arrived at the school the parking lot was full and we Iad to drive around -to the rear of the building. I found an at- tendant I knew -and fortunately he had one spot left. The three of us galloped around the building and in the front door. We passed a line of students waiting for the processional to start. My wife and I were ush- ered to our seats, and I flopped down gasping for air. My wife sighed and leaned over and whispered, "why did you have to go back to the house?" I leaned over to her and whispered as gently as I could, "because you women made me hurry so fast, It wasn't until I was out in the cold air that I discovered I had dressed so fast I had forgotten to put on my shorts."

Speaking on the bylaw, Deputy Reeve John Good- win accused the town of no t doing its homework, cit- ing for example the case of H. Goode who was refused the right to rebuild an elevator which burned down in in 1968 because the town wanted to keep the district residential.
