times of walkertou we were impressed with a story terms phil osifer of lazy meadows and without com ment here it is the phil osifer family has just been picked as the typical family of canada you may be surprised at that surprised is no word to describe my feeelings when a car drove into the laneway one day and an excited young man jumped out and started ordering me around he shoved a card into my hand said a whole inouthflul of words and expected me to understand what he was saying finally he calmed down and said that he wanted to take a film of tho family and the general do ings here at lazy meadows it seems that we were picked as tho average canadian family and he wanted to start taking pictures right away were all human and the young man had a way with him in spite of mrs phils doubts on the whole affair i agreed and the crew arrived next morning wearing some of the strange clothes i have ever seen in my life this gang of young fellows swarmed over the placo like a bunch of ants over a honeypail lid they unloaded crate after crato of complicated looking machinery then the fun really started we may have been the average family but they tried dosparately hard to make us anything but the average they argued and haggled over silly little pieces of paper and what they called shooting locations i wont tell you of the scenes which they actually did take iii place of that well talk about the ones which they wanted and about which we made such a fuss that they were finally deleted i was lean over to pick up some chips in the back yard when one of the direct ors in the gang saw the patches on the seat of my overalls they want ed to take a closenp of a rearview of me stooping over wo argued about that for hours but i refused to give it they were glum and sourlook ing one of the men chanced to go out in the iback woodshed he saw the old tub in which the satur day evening bath ritual is perform ed lie forgot all about the patches wouldnt i just lake a bath in the old tub it would make an excellent scene they were off in a cloud of rature at the thought of having me fathering up in that old tub it was a marvelous idea of course they would not do that by the time that i had a chance to protest they wero planning all the intimate details of it thoy even had the cameras set up in the woodshed my ideas of making a film were not exactly of that nature i refus ed and they pleaded i continued to refuse they sulked didnt i want to cooprate all the holly wood movie actors and actresses were erady at a moments notice to peel for a scene like that it was a honoy i still persisted in my refusal there were plenty of ideas like that they wanted mrs philand i to- pose in bed with long cotton nightgowns on one of them actu ally wanted to cut a halfmoon in the door of tho little house in the backyard to make it seem more realistic they had a thousand and one ideas in a minute we re fused all of them and finally they started listening to what we told them about tho way we live on the farm they were amazed finally they gave up tholr queer notions about the farmers of canada and made their film it just goes to show you how httlo city people j actually do know
