wednesday night and the var iety stores which are still open start selling it while the majority of people get their 0 paper delivered thursday there are some jnfio buy it wednesday night most weeks parted- a couple of weeks ago it was so late that the usual deliveries couldnt be made to the carrier boys and girls until thursday morning rather than handling this end of the business from our office mr and mrs nor man eyre look after carrier distribution from their home a late paper not only jnconvpnlences readercmfitmeamalof of extra work for mrs eyre when her phone starts ringing early thursctay morning late delivery is prone to happen in the summer particularly with short staffs durjng vacations both in georgetown and bramp ton if it should be that carriers dont rec eive their papers wednesday night they will be there as soon as possible thursday morning and if your paper carrier doesnt deliver it at the usual time that day have patience hell be along as soorj as he gets his bundle iales of the bafflroqi 4 but theres a catch jj if brampton has press trouble or if the ftorald is a bit late getting the final ship- fnent of mats tfiere the papers dont arrive ck until late at night and on the very rare occasion as hap- as for the wednesday night buyers we can never guarantee at fust what hour the papers will be on sale thats why we date the paper thursday rest assured that the weekly issue will come out as early as is humanly possible the brampton press room doent want to work any later than they have to casey at the bat things that can happen because of the split production there b an occasional mixup in pictures in the herald we use a process known as scanograv- ing a picture is reproduced on plastic from a positive and then pasted on the metal printing plate despite a careful numbering system frier is always a margin of error between the picture being sent to brampton and its inclusion in the paper sometime there will be a complete blank this means that the scan has been mislaid or has not been processed on the brampton machine occasionally two pic tures of the same size may become inter changed were we doing the printing here we would have e closer check because we tytow the local faces the brampton shop km only numbers to go by and cant catch in error in the same way we can despite the possibility of errors we think we do a pretty good job and over the course of the year the error are few and unlike some trades we can always right a wrong in the next issue misprints are bound to bob up no matter how carefully we check in our routine we proofread an item once correct the errors and proofread this a second time should the typesetter goof on the correction lines and these not be noticd by the compositor there will be an error sometimes you will see two similar lines in a news item and part of the thought will be missing altogether this happens when the compositor removes a wrong line of metal and inserts the correction line in the wrong place next time you see this take a double look you will find that al though the lines appear to be the same one will have a typograpical error in it transposed lines are another problem which plague us in the printing business each line of type in the herald is produced on a separate piece of metal which comes red hot from the linotype machine if two lines are switched and are not caught in the proofreading a news item may take a little study to get its proper meaning perhaps his brief explanation of some of the pitfalls of producing a newspaper will help

established in halton county to serve better the educational needs of pupils in that stage of development be tween childhood and adoles cence the report states children are maturing faster and are therefore more sophisticated by ages 10 and 11 and are prepar ed to undertake rather special ized study of many subjects by the time they reach these ag es optional subiects the council recommends that middle school offer pupils op tional subjects sue as typing instrumental and vocal music and theatre arts as well as the usual compulsory subjects pupil progress will be con tin nous through the uureeyear pro gram to provide an opportunity for pupils to bridge the gap between the continuous progesj system operating from kinder garten through grade 5 and the credit promotion system of the high

special transition period middle schools cover tve got to know what im approving before i do it said trustee liberty pease how are we going to know whether the pilot project succeeds old fashioned old fashioned as it may sound i insist that the three rs will still be taught as well as before will middle school do that heaskedrhow will we measure their success he was told there was no int ention to deemphasize core sub jects but rather to provide a wi der range ofwibject areas for the exploration of the children the council was- not able to answer specifically how pupils will be evaluated as the matter will be studied in detail by an evaluation council both the middle school and evaluation councils are sub committees of the boards inno vations council chaired by da vid eats vice txtacjjial of

come a long way bom the backhouse to the bathroom i dont know whether youd call that progress or not theres something to be said for both sides you cant store coal and pot atoes in the recreation room for example a definite disad vantage on the other hand you couldnt have a shower in the backhouse unless the roof lea ked and it was raining also a disadvantage fifteen jgtnraq i was suck- edjntoa brand new plot bathroom and swore it wouuld never happen again- financial- ly it set me back about year perhaps one shouldnt swear about such things- they are transitory after all and re sides it doesnt seem to help much this month ive been auckered into another one we are going through our turquoise phase now do you know how much plumbers are getting nowadays of course you do and carpen ters and electricians well i hereby swear once more a migh ty oath and with all you wit nesses that ill never install an other new bathroom so long as us both shall live me and the bathroom that is when i conk out my wife will be right into the insurance money for ano ther new one probably in deep purple what gets me is that there wasnt a thing wrong with the one we bad it had a perfectly good white cast iron tub the only thing i enjoyed about the whole installation was watch ing those plumbers niove the 800pound monster down the stairs there was nothing wrong with the tub except that you bad to keep your big toe in the drain or the water would run out and as i like to soak for an hour with a drink book and smokes this was a bit of a strain on the bad knee we had a perfectly good toilet that required the services of a plumber only about once a month we had a towel rack that fell oft the- wall with a tremendous clatter only about twice a week usually when the rest of the family was asleep it wasnt exactly uwr batlk room youd get at the royal suite at the chateau laurier the sink had served many gen erations and was a sort of gray green there was a bit of paint missing here and there tm not an unreasonable man id have gone for a new sink and maybe ten twelyo dollars worth of paint and wed have been right as rain what ever that stupid expression rteans f said as jnich to my wife and she said approximately ten times as muc to roe ceramia tile already turquoise fixti ures new wallpaper to pick up the turquoise in the toilet and the gold fleck in the new linoleum a vanity built ar ound the sink a vanity all is vanity i need a vanity like i need an other pair of rottei kids its not really fne money you cant take it with you though as an old friend of mine who is loaded with the stuff says if i cant take it with me i aint goin its the conifusionof trying to coordinate carpenter plumb ers and electrician either theyre all working someplace else and nobody can come and you just sit there in the waste land or they are all available at once and are bumping head and bums are getting in ttich others way at fivesomethmg an hour if the endless decision like where the toilet paper rack should be installed can you imagine anything more ridicul ous than a couple of adults sitting fully clothed on the johnny and practising reaching for the tissue should it be on the wall itraight ahead quite a reach and what about little kids i offered to bring in some kids to practise should it be beside the toilet tank with my bursitis you could break your arm off at the shoulder much ado
