So, dear friends, if you are planning a trip tion .--_ or if you are- advising "friends who may be planning to _ visit you, I would suggest that you study your train time-tables and bus schedules very carefully. This comes to you, free of sonal experience, Our" niece Betty was 'recently transferred from La- Cave to "the new hydro project at Niagara Falls, We knew -she_ would be it--comes---to bus and train trandporta~---- coming fo visit us off and on so I - sent her an up-to-date local bus schedule from Burlington to Mil- ton which showed that 'she could catch a bus from Burlington which would arrive here at 1.30. That was three wecks ago. Last Satur- "day" was 'her first chance to visit us. - See We were just sitting down to dinner when the phone rang. It was Betty. This was her tale of - ped running the noon bus, I am' stranded here at Bronte!" Oh-oh -- and Bronte was twenty miles away.

"I'm sorry, Bob Clarke has just left." is Partner told me to never mind- the dinner -- go on down -- he .could-manage.-But I had a sort of hunch , : . I thought T wouldn't be in too big a hurry. It just might be that Bob would be home early mile drive in- the heat better than I could. - Sure enough, in - about ten minutes along came Bob. I ran- out to tell him the news and 'he turned around and went back again without ever turning "off the igni- 'tion. Now the oz of this story lies in the fact that this little mix-up - could haye- been avoided had I not heen so sure of myself, be- cause a local time-table was pub- lished in our weekly paper two weeks running. I saw it but did not even read it. as it. did mot draw attention to the fact that any changes had been made.
