On Saturday, son Grant of Oshawa spent most of the day gardening and beautifying the home. Oh, to be an expert like Grant - he is fond of gardening and does a super job. My sincere thanks to him for a big effort! Humor Humor delights me. It makes Joyous the ordinary patterns of life - it lightens the heart - re- lieves tension - it is the safety valve of the nation. Take time to laugh - itis the music of the soul -soothes the nerves - stimulates the body and often keeps us from despair. Laugh often - a habit you'll never want to break! Cultivate a sense of hu- mor - good humor is a simple therapy for a good many of our homegrown ills - it not only re- laxes our muscles - it unties our spiritual knots!

No one has come forth yet. Surely a couple of you girls can offer your servic- es for this event. The David Dietlein vs Gord Getting views on the fire mar- shalls rights. I've decided to di- vide it into two sections - one "the police state" - second - "fire marshall" next week. It 18 my interpretation of the law that no one in authority has the right to enter your home at will without a court order. In the case of two families in one house I don't know. The point I am endeavoring to express is your home is your castle and with it you have rights until a court order is iga- sued. This is the very thing that David Dietlein is endeavoring to protect.
