Claus (Irvin Johnston). The Seaforth Club has been entertaining 'the residents at the home since it was formed' in 1924. The senior and junior choirs of Northside United Church under the direction of Lion Jim Stewart sang a number of carols. Rev. Roberts of Egmondville spoke. (Photo by Oke) H. Johnston tf TIDE'' 11140,914: PcROSITOR, .DEO • Another year is about to unfold in our lives, and I wish you all the best in 1977. "As y ou travel the hill of the coming year, May you travel in high and never shift gears, With plenty of spark and never a knock And a joy filling station in every block." •Furthermore, "As you slide down the bannister of life, may the splinters never point., your way." If you're trying to decide on a New Year's resolution, here are bits of wisdom to keep in mind. I found some in magazines, others in newspapers and several in novelty •gift shops. Many were written anonymously, but all deliver a message worth noting. For example, "The man who gets ahead is the one who does more than is necessary and keeps on doing it." ' On the other hand, "Do more than people expect of you, and soon. they'll expect more." "If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side." Remember also the Indian Prayer: "'Great Spirit, grant that 'I may not criticize my neighbour until I have walked a mile in his moccasins." Hilaire Belloc reminds us: "From quiet homes and first beginnings Out to the undiscovered ends, 9dds n' Ends by Elaine Tawnshend Thoughts for New Years There's nothing worth the wear of winning But laughter and the love of friends." Moreover Rae Cross advises:. "A' smiling face, a word of praise, a helping hand, forgiving ways. Add tolerance, faith, love and prayer. This recipe works everywhere." The "Serenity Prayer" asks: "God grant fne the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The Courage to change the things I can, and the WiSclom to know the difference." Perhaps the. most noteworthy philosophy is contained in the verse entitled "A State Of Mind". This popular poem is often seen these days for it is stamped on bookmarks, engraved on wall plaque's and painted on decorative plates. However, it is more than just a catchy phrase;4 the attitude it promotes is an excellent motto for all of us to adopt. 'If you think you are Beaten, You Are. If you think you Dare not, You Don't. If you'd like to win, But You Think You Can't ; It's almost a cinch, You Won't: If you think You'll Lose, You've Lost, For out of the .world You Find Success Begins with a Fellow's Will - It's all in the state of Mind." What better philosophy could we begin the New Year with? Kilbarchan Notes Congratulations to Questlom Who pays for the Hospital System in Ontario? Answer: You do.

Turnbull) I am writing., from Ingersoll where I spent a very happy Christmas. Fortunately the weather cooperated for travelling and my nephew Don came for me Dec. 24th. It was good to be in the family circle again for the festivi- ties. In the group besides Don, Jean and family Jennifer and Peter, there was Gillian Turnbull -from Ottawa and Marilyn Hillis, Tillsonburg. The festivities at this time are well spent, opening of gifts and dinner. I will now settle down to my tdik 'of judging the Expositor colouring contest. It is a challeng- ing project, wading through the five or six hundred pictures. Over years of experience 'doing this, I have developed a system which works to my 'own satisfaction and evidently to the satisfaction of others. All pictures are carefully examined. They are judged on the following: choice of colours, neatness, originality and general' effect. Congratulations to the winners and, to all who have worked hard on this project. Perhaps you may be successful another year so don't give up. I have chosen several honourable mention. These were very close to the winners. With best wishes and a .thanks to those who have made favourable comments on these "notes", A Happy and 1' Potatoes are -often -taken fro' granted - at least when it comes to planning a menu. But, for a change why not plan the meal around a baked potato! A, steaming hot, fluffy, baked potato adds enjoyment to any meal and in the same hot oven you can cook vegetable$, casseroles, poultry, roasts or desserts. Potatoes are adaptable! They .can be cooked at oven tempera- tures ranging from 325°F to 425°F, depending on the foods to' be cooked with' them. It's helpful to remember that it's the higher temperatures which produce a crispy skin and fluffy, dry interior. Have you ever thought of a baked potato as a "convenience food"? Yet, what could be easier to 'prepare; just scrub thoroughly and pierce skin with a fork before popping onto a rack in the oven. For a baked potato with a soft skin, rub a little butter over it ,before cooking. A true baked potato is not wrapped in foil. The foil holds the moisture in, and so cooks by steaming rather than baking, resulting ' in a soggy interior. If you want to serve the gornmaimemmee• Prosperous New Year to all who read this column. The afternoon of Dec. 20th the ladies of St. Peter's Lutheran . Church, Brodhagen entertained. us in thesspirit of Christmas. We always look forward to their interesting program. Their presi- dent, Mrs. Bob Robinson, was in charge. A reading and jokes were given by Gertie Driscoll and Olive Scherbarth which caused many hearty laughs and put the group in a receptive mood fdr the rest of the program. Margaret Scherbarth gave a reading "It's nearly Christmas." The program then changed to "Memories"; carols, "Angels we have Heard on High, 0 Come All Ye Faithful!" were sung from song sheets which were passed around. Scripture was read from Luke 2 and Matthew 2 which ' related the Christmas story from Kimg James translation of the Bible. Prayer was led by Dorothy . Elligsen. Memories of Church Concerts were brought to mind when, the shepherds carried staffs which were much taller than the boys; also the costumes worn hy' the Kings were their mothers' satin housecoats in rich bright colours. And how all the children gathered around the manger and sang "Away in a Manger", finishing with Joy to ,the World. potato in fOil don't - completely* wrap it before baking. Leave the top o pen and prick the potato to allow some steam to escape. Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada, suggest potatoes can be baked at the following tempera- tures. So plan a meal that can also be cooked in the same oven. At 325°F, bake 75 to 85 minutes; at 350°F , 55 to 65 minutes; at 375°F , 50 to 60minutes; at 400°F 45 to 55 minutes; at 425°F , 40 to 50 minutes. After baking, make crosswise or diagonal slits in the top of the potato and pinch to allow steam to escape. The following toppings are delicious with baked p9tatoes: - two tablespoons dairy sour cream or yogurt mixed with one tablespoon green onion or chives; French dressing; process cheese smad; butter sprinkled with paprika or dill seed. Bacon and Mushroom Stuffed Baked Potatoes: Make as Cheese- Stuffed Baked Potatoes, but add 6 slices cooked crumbled bacon, and 2 cups sliced sauteed mushrooms (about 6 ounces), instead of cheese and onions. winners A delicious lunCh followed prepared and served by Mrs. Bennewies'' daughters, Mrs. Rock, Mrs. French, assisted by the staff. I noted some new Christmas centres on the tables and when I enquired from whence they came, 1 was.told they were gifts from the Women's Catholic League'. A special thank you from us all. The table centres were wicker baskets filled with traditional Christmas greenery, poinsettias .and white berries, very appropriate for a table centre. A choir from the Seafo'rth Public School came to sing for us. ;')They were from the senior grades. Mrs. Neil Bell, a member of the staff of"S.P.S., came with them. Their music director, Mrs. Griffin, accompanied them on the piano. They sang with a clear full tone which is typical of the senior grades. They sang: Angels We Have Heard on High, Jingle Bell Rock, In a Manger He is Crying„ The Drummer Boy, Here Comes Santa Claus, Carolling, C,arolling Christmas Bells are Ringing, Frosty the Snowman, A star Dancing in the Night, Do, you Hear What I hear?" They finished this well-rounded program with We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We bring you the Figgie Pudding. Cookies were passed which we enjoyed very much. Miss Gladys Thompson, Our neighbour, solved the problem of some of the residents who were not able to cross the road to her home for afternoon tea. She brought it to, us and served us a sample of her delicious Christmas ,,dainties. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you, Glad! A group from First Presby- terian Church Sunday School came and sang for us. Mrs. Karen Driscoll was in charge of the group, owing to the absence of Mrs. Lillian Kerslake. who is recovering from a lengthy illness. I have been talking to her on the telephone arid she seems to be coming along very well. They sang the following familiar carols: Joy to the World. 0 Come All Ye Faithful, Angels we have heard on High, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, Deck the Halls.

Phone 527.1140 Seaforth If you've got that once in a lifetime chance to start afresh with color, whether, it's a room •or a house, take heed of•some facts before you order six gallons of bile green and turn the same color at the results, , There is no fashion in color, contrary to what the magazines want you to believe. Use colors only that please you, that you respond to naturally and that you are already using, in ypur wardrobe, the color of your car, a picture you like. The most common mistake frequently found in homes is simply too many colors, all weak and unrelated. The more color you use the 'more fractured the result. Try using only three, and for variety adjust them, making some lighter, some darker, some stronger. The effect will be more co-ordinated and impressive. Avoid subtlety unless you're an expert. Very soft tints and tones are simply lost by light and shadow and are overpowered by textures and other colors. Work with coldrs stronger than, yott desire, color seldom appears as strong when a room is completely finished. Invest in a .yard of fabric, a quart of paint or a roll of wallpaper - it's a small price to pay to check the results before committing yourself. Live with it a week and test your reactions to it. Artificial and natural light can cause huge differences in color! ' Remember that wood, brick, stone all belong to color familiei. Teak for instance is orange, so is rosewood, mahogany is red, walnut can be beige, brown or gray. Keep this in mind when selecting fireplace facings, blending furniture pieces and choosing panelling and .sidings. Keep pattern and 'color to a minimum over large areas (walls, floors, etc.) and build up as areas become smaller and more important - bathroom walls (do all four of their) dining chairs, cushions, etc. Color will do more for you than dollars • it's exciting to use and fun to live with. Try it • you'll like it! We celebrate the joy of living as we exuberantly greet the New Yearl It's time too, to say thanks for - your support in the• year just past.
