p4 the tribune wednesday february 7 1990 st current noise bylaw out of date whitchurchstouffville coun cil prodded by complaints from rural residents who have heard far too much is finally bringing its noise infraction bylaw lip to date the residents claim they have been forced to leave their wood bine avenue house on occasion when revellers in nearby simeon park took their noisy parties to new decibel levels there have been similar com plaints in the past about noise at the park which is owned by auto parts giant magna international little has been done or really can be done to get visitors at the park to tame the volume at company outings but the current bylaw leaves police with little recourse and hardly protects those residents who are repeatedly assaulted with unacceptable noise a tougher bylaw will allow the town to pursue those who violate it while more adequately protec ting whitchurchstouffville residents cleaning up to prepare for cleaning lady one of the first moves a lot of women make when they go back to work is to employ a cleaning lady which seems like a sound idea at least in theory i should point out that cleaning ladies are not a yuppie affecta tion but a concept that goes back at least as far as my mothers time when they used to be known as chars when i was growing up we had two majorleague cleaning ladies who rejoiced in the names of mrs frogget and mrs tween as far as i can recall mrs frogget and my mother spent vast tracts of time sitting around the kitchen table quaffing endless cups of maxwell house and putting the world to rights i cant actually remember see- kates corner kate gilderdale ing any sinks being scrubbed or floors being vacuumed and ive often wondered whether my mother didnt like to ask someone who was obviously a good friend as well as a treasure to do something as menial as cleaning out the loo mrs tween succeeded mrs frogget at the considerable age of about 68 and continued to do for mum until she was well past

meant that when shed departed for home most of the dirt and debris had been merely redistributed and my mother would have to start all over again we also had a window cleaner called mr anderson who spent most of his time sitting on the throne in the outhouse reading my brothers comics on rare occasions he could be seen at the top of his ladder ac tually cleaning windows while addressing a lengthy monologue to an empty room whos mr anderson talking to id ask dad when i got downstairs me i think he would reply cheerfully then there was our gardener with whom i fell hopelessly in at the tender age of 12 mr morton was a fireman and sported a dashing moustache a receding blondish hairline and a charming wife and two daughters although he never declared his love for me i was convinced that he was pining away in secret when i grew up and left home i found a job in the office of a tv staion in london where i cant believe anyone made any money because we spent most of our time eyeing the talent or writing silly letters to each other or going out for lunches which lasted from 1 pm until about 6 pm every month when the sales figures came out wed all be call ed into the sales directors office for a celebration or wake depen ding on the state of the balance sheet it was hard to tell which was which because they both con sisted largely of knocking back more vodkas with lime than was prudent and then trying to negotiate ones way back to suburbia on the london underground without falling into the path of an oncoming train to give me some free time away from my meteoric career i decided to employ a cleaning lady which was how gladys came into my life gladys was 70 editors mail if she was a day but she was in credibly efficient and used to do herculean things like moving all the furniture to clean behind it of course i couldnt let a nice old lady do all that heavy work so id spend my entire sundays cleaning the house to prepare for her arrival i soon concluded id be better off muddling through alone now that ive got children and a job a cleaning lady might seem the perfect solution to the rising tide of chaos which is a feature of chateau gilderdale but i dont think ill ever be able to find the time to clean up before she arrives many thanks for support dear editor i wish to thank your correspon dent bruce stapley for his com ments regarding the
