INSIDE INGLESIDE Getting ready to go away certainly takes the joy from going. Tomorrow I am leaving for a 3 day conference in Waterloo so today I am up to my neck in washing and worrying, Anticipating all the eventualities on the home front is a virtually impossible task but I cannot keep from trying. Between loads of laundry, I have prepared a list of instructions which may never be heeded but which I feel is definitely needed TO THOSE I LEAVE BEHIND 1. French fries, corn chips and pizza cannot be conâ€" sidered a balanced diet. 2. The cat likes to eat tooâ€"and she cannot open a tin by herself. 3. Dishes cannot clear themselves off the table. 4. If all towels are used tomorrow there will be none for the next day unless somebody washes them, 5. Clothes that are thrown on the floor, stay there unless somebody picks them up. 6. Turn down that record player! 7. It is not necessary for 11-year-old girls to wear lip- stick, eyeshadow and scent for a music festival appear- ance. 8. Clothes must be changed no less than once and no more than 20 times in a threeâ€"day period. 9. If it rains, close the windows. 10. If you fall off your bike, go to the doctor. 11. If the Canadians lose the hockey game, do not put your head in the oven. 12, If you run out of food, quit eatingâ€"you have had far too much already. I will leave this list on the table and then hope for the best. It is heartening but humbling to realize that they will probably get along very well without me when I am gone.
