But although I neither expected, nor received much quarter Irom my trio of travelling companions, I wasn't prepared for what they had in mind when we reached Quebec city. There is a large shopping centre on the outskirts of Quebec.

All smiles and soft dimples, they suggested I wait in the car while they bought me a pair of trousers. The temperature in the car was roughly about the same as the melting point of lead. They skipped off in a flutter of giggles to buy the pants, I waited, helpless. Every how and then I caught a glimpse of them as they came out of one store and dived into another. None of them was the kind of store that sold men's pants.

Photo finish After an hour or so they dispatched the youngest member, snickering, out to the car with a pair of trousers. I seized them and tried to struggle into them without getting arrested by the vice squad. I didn't make it. Thee pair they had sent out was big enough for a very small boy. Only when they had bought enough new stuff to have filled both the pre-shipped trunks did they free me from my perspiring prison by sending out a pair of proper trousers.

They took a photo of me, brandishing my fists in sweaty rage out of the car window, and the last time I mentioned travelling light, they brought it out and showed it to me. It was the last time I ever mentioned travelling light. What I do now is try to beat them at their own game. For every bit of junk they shove in the car, I shove one of my own. It makes the car look like a rat's nest, and driving purely miserable, but it beats the hell out of wearing rubber raincoats backwards.

couple of weeks before we were due to take a vacation to Prince Edward Island. The sleepless night came from wondering what it was going to be like in a small car crammed with wife, child, a female-type relative and the mountain of junk they would insist was necessary to their corporate survival for three weeks. Then I had the idea. Why not pack everything into two large trunks and send it ahead by rail? Perhaps if I hadn't been so blinded by my own brilliance I would have been more wary when my proposal was greeted with cries of girlish enthusiasm. In fact, however, I didn't discover until the morning of departure that they simply regarded the business of the pre-shipped trunks as an invitation to cram the car with all the stuff they wouldn't have been able to take otherwise.

Meanwhile, unprepared for such last-minute treachery, I had equipped myself as an object lesson in how to Travel Light. I took only one pair of trousers. Even to a casual eye they were dangerously threadbare, but my reasoning was they'd last for the journey and I could throw them away when we reached P.E.I, and collected the pre-shipped trunks. Pants give way I think it was somewhere around the fiftieth outbound mile that I must have shifted too suddenly in the driving seat. I felt the threadbare pants give way, but I didn't know how much until I made an appalled exploration.

They had developed what might be described as a hip-to-hip grin. We had about 1,600 miles to go. The weather was very hot. After the first few restaurant stops I got more or less used to the little flurries of whispers that were triggered by the sight of a man wearing a child's rubber raincoat, especially By Frank Penn I was pleased to see that Harry took my advice. I watched him head off on his vacation this morning, with the car-springs flattened under the weight of enough luggage to outfit a regiment, and his wife and two female children only just visible among a wild miscellany of loose objects and papers bags tossed in at the last minute.

Harry looked resigned, if not ecstatic, and I gave him a little reassuring wave. I know how he felt. It's hard to give up a dream, but sometimes it's the best way. There are some things a man just has to back away from. Looking back on it, it's hard to believe it's only a couple of years since, like Harry, I believed it was possible, by sheer force of logic, to persuade an all-female family that the secret of happy car-travel is to travel light.

I used to stand amidst the mounting piles of luggage uttering small cries of anguish and pointing out that the cubic capacity of the car trunk was exactly one half of the cubic capacity it would require to stow one tenth of the junk already collected, and where in blazes did they think I was going to find space to put any more. Mona Lisa smile That was usually about the point that the wife and female child used to exchange looks. I can describe the particular kind of look only by saying that I am not among those who find themselves baffled by the smile on the face of Mona Lisa. I know what she's smirking at. Leonardo has just finished telling her they'll never be able to get all that stuff in the carriage, and what does she need 36 dresses for anyway, since they're only going away for a weekend.

Anyway, I might still have been doing the Harry bit if there hadn't been the year of the Great Idea.

These things happen.

Television is a great leveller. It makes a common man out of the greatest, brings a flavor of ordinariness to history-making moments. Whether the former preacher cursed at the fumbling machine has gone undisclosed, but indications are that the presidential candidate is a man of patience. There is no record of ill-tempered tactic No. 1, which is to kick the side of the set, or tactic No.

2, which is to pound the top. Nevertheless, Walter Cronklte chose to refer to McGovern's patient TV repair work as a "massive physical demonstration" of joy in victory. To keep the record complete, it should be noted that the senator cut his finger while watching the TV. How, is also undisclosed. He treated it with a bandage.

Otherwise, Democratic convention goings-on last night were almost paralytically ritualistic. 'TV theatre' CBS correspondent Morton Dean quoted a delegate who described the night's proceedings with the words: "This is TV theatre." The delegate's remark related to the fact that, even before nomination speeches began, TV-minded Democrats were squabbling about who aldson who mainly reiterated CBS reiterations. They also talked on the telephone with the CBC man in Miami Beach, Don McNeill. The mini-shows made for fairly solid non-television; possibly they might have been considered exciting on radio circa 1930. McNeill's voice made its tinny way over the phone system while a blow-up picture of him loomed behind the intently listening figures of Robertson and Donaldson.

CBC signed off from CBS at 12:30 for The National, thereby missing by 15 minutes the evening's only real, news, that Edward Kennedy had refused the vice-presidential candidacy. CBC-TV plans 10 to 11 p.m. coverage of McGovern's acceptance speech tonight. Time to Remember and Encounter will be pre-empted. Television is the bane of winner and loser.

In victory, a politician was twisting the knobs on a aulty set. And in Reykjavik Across the world, a chess master spent half a game complaining about a closed circuit TV outfit that was covering every move. Irritation took its toll, for Bobby Fischer lost the first round to Boris Spassky yesterday.

The fact is there was little theatrical in the TV theatre fare. There was more, though brief, drama off the floor.

If you were watching CBS or NBC during the hours when CJOH turned itself over to Doris Day and CBC to the Expos, you saw drama in a Mc-Govern-meets-hippies yippies zip-pies for a deafening bout of confrontation politics. By comparison, floor events were but a slow crawl toward a non-surprise. Best quip of the day came from resident CBS pundit Eric Sevareid who after the McGovern win said, "I didn't think to see lettuce lose so rapidly, did you?" He referred to the growing fashion in the last three days for delegations to support a ban on non-union lettuce. Second prize for humor belongs to McGovern financial chairman Henry Kimelman who said "I think tonight we learned that George McGovern has charisma." Elsewhere, cliches abounded. Like the song whose lyrics go "though it's been said many times, many ways," most commentators couldn't resist the urge to recall McGovern's steep rise to the top.

Surprisingly, Walter Cronkite, fresh out of new things to say, won the cliche stakes using cliche phraseology "George McGovern has certainly come a long way." After at least 25 hours of anchoring his network's coverage in three nights, the veteran broadcaster can be forgiven. CBC made one of its less sparkling contributions to broadcasting history. The network was scheduled to join the convention at 10:30 p.m., but dared not risk the ire of baseball freaks. The Expo game was running a leisurely course, allowing the CBC to catch the convention balloting only a few minutes before the Illinois delegation brought McGovern his majority. CBC hooked up to CBS.

A coat of plaster is then applied and allowed to dry. When the first coat is thoroughly dry, a second coat is applied and the tiles laid into this. I would recommend to the amateur the glued-on method. It is not nearly as messy and your wife won't have to contend with a major cleanup after you've finished.

Good luck with your first ceramic job. It's not one of the easier home improvement jobs, but I predict that when you've done it and stand back to look it over, you'll feel you're a real professional.

If the walls are of plaster and painted, sooner or later the plaster will deteriorate and begin to crumble and loosen. When this hapens, the plaster usually will have to be removed. If, however, the plaster is still in fairly good condition, plasterboard or plywood may be installed directly over it. This method is not nearly as messy as removing all the old plaster, but it is not good practice to do this around the bathtub since the additional thickness of wall will protrude too far over the rim of the tub. At the same time make sure when installing plasterboard that it overlaps the metal lip of the tub.

Once you have the wall covered with plywood or plasterboard well-nailed and solid you can proceed with the installation of ceramic or mosaic tile. These are manufactured in many colors and sizes, and vary in cost according to type of material, size and color. Two ways to install There are two methods of installation: they can be set in cement or glued on. Let us say you choose to glue them on, which method I would recommend to the amateur. You must use a special glue which you can purchase with the tiles.

At the same time you can rent a cutter to cut the type of tile you've chosen. It is essential to work from a level line. If you are tiling 4i4 feet above the tub, which is considered a standard height, draw a level line at this point. Glue the first row of tiles along this line and work downwards. If you choose to grout between the tiles, it is advisable to leave a small crack to allow the grouting to key in.

On the other hand you may choose to butt them in THE 25 16-20 FT. DOME which case very little grouting is necessary. They may be laid in straight lines or staggered. When you get down to the top of the tub, you'll find that this is never quite level with the run of your tiles, and that the last row of tiles must be cut. When cutting them make sure you leave an eighth of an inch crack between the last row of tiles and the tub so that the caulking will key in.

Another way Caulking coming loose around the tub is a problem with which you are probably familiar, and although there are many good caulking products designed for this purpose generally they will not adhere to the porcelain of the tub. Thus the importance of leaving a crack between your tiles and the tub to allow caulking to reach in to material to which it will adhere and anchor itself.
