If you have ever experienced a
build-up of pressure — the kind
that is composed of a number of
little insignificant personal
disasters — yon will understand
the way I feel right this moment.
I'm utterly and absolutely
exhausted, yet there is no respite
in sight.
In a normal work week I
spend two or three days away
from home and at the office.
This past week was five solid
days of uphill slugging.
Contained in that week was
the frustration one can know in
trying to organize a social
evening for a group of ladies. Pm
not much on social graces
myself. I know enough to keep
my elbows off the table in polite
company and that's about it.
You can imagine how I
fretted and worried over this
fancy-clan dinner for 25. Now
that its agony is behind me, I'm
pledged never to place myself in
a similar situation ever again.
When Friday night arrived,
and with it the promise of a
quiet weekend at home with my
TV and a few good records, my
ever-loving spouse surprised me
with some tickets to the
Saturday night hockey game in
Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens,
I'm not really a hockey fan to
begin with. I tolerate the game
because my husband and my
sons get excited at anything that
even sounds like a puck hitting a
stick.
The last thing I wanted was to
do battle with Toronto's million
and a half horn-honking
gas-goosing maniac drivers but in
the name of marital bliss I let
myself be talked into the trip.
It really wasn't all that bad
except that Toronto lost the
contest leaving my family in a

Want children at fall fairs
wretched Mood and since the
hour was horribly late, I was less
tolerant than ever.
.Sunday didn't hold any
relaxation either. We had to bolt
back to LentIPA to be en.hatid.
for a church rally in the early
afternoon.
Don't get me wrong. My
husband and I take our church
membership seriously and we
consider it our solemn duty to
attend these functions. We
usually enjoy them to the fullest
measure,
This time I just was not atone
to the event. I went .into it like a
child goes to a .dentist both
feet braced..
And things didn't go well. The
whole thing dragged mercilessly
until near the end I was ready to
stand up and shout at the
assembly: "Please .get on with
this so I can get home and put
my feet up!"
It was a long tedious ride
home. When we arrived in our
driveway all of us were ready to
collapse into our beds.
"Poverty, the moon and you"
was the theme for the eighth
Regional Rally of the
West-Huron area of Huron-Perth
Presbyterial, which was held on
Friday, October 24, at Benmiller
United Church.
Mrs. Lloyd Bond, regional
president, opened the program
with a short worship service and
comments on the theme.
Mrs. Dan Willis, president of
the host UCW, welcomed the 72
delegates attending, who
represented the 14 UCW groups
in the area,
Mrs. Harold Babensee,
Presbyterial president, brought
greetings and commented on the
need for women to faze into the
congregational life and work of
the church.
A thought-provoking skit
"The Broken Motto" was well
presented by the women of the
Blake's, Hackett's and Zion
groups.
Reports were given by Mrs. W.
MacDonald, Gadshill, treasurer;
Mrs. 0. Sawyer, Mitchell,
recording secretary; and Mrs.
Geo. Potter, Clinton, supply and
welfare secretary. Mrs. Harry
Cudmore, Holmesville, was
acting secretary for the day. Mrs.
Warr, pianist of the church,
supported by a choir from
Victoria Street United Church,
Goderich and Benmiller, led in a
lively sing song of modern
hymns.
Mrs. Harold Currie of Hensall,
literature secretary, made an
interesting presentation of the
new study books and material
available for program and
personal use.
A "Facing Reality" quiz
brought the morning session to a
close.

Over 30 friends and neighbors
from the former No. 10
Fairmount School section
gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank De Jong last
Saturday night,

two newlywed couples, Mr. and
Mrs. Auke De Jong and Mr. and
Mrs. Tony Verhoef,
Mrs. Verhoef was the former
Joanne Steegstra and Mrs. De
Jong the former Joanne Stryker.
The Verhoefs were unable to
attend.

called forward while William
Dykstra read the address arid Bill

The De Jongs received a
lovely table lamp and Mr, and
Mrs. Verhoef (in absentia) a
clothea hamper and vanity stool.
The happy couple expressed
their thanks, after Which a lovely
lunch was served.
Husband knew I was done in.
He offered to unload the car
while I got the children bedded
down.
"Give me the keys to the
trunk," he said.
"They are in my purse," I
told him.
"Where's your purse?" he
asked.
"In the trunk," I told him.
There was no cursing, My man
was just plainly too weary. He
tried for a half-hour or so to get
into the trunk through the back
seat but all was in vain. Pyjamas,
toothbrushes etc. remained
locked safely away until this
morning when my husband took
the car to a garage to have the
trunk lock drilled out,
There are many things I want
but there are a few I know now I
don't want under any
circumstances. One thing I can
do without is the kind of a life
that leaves no time or energy for
logical thought process. That can
get plenty irksome ... not to
mention expensive.
A dinner was served by the
ladies of the host church.
At the afternoon session, Mrs.
Wm. Norman introduced the
guest speaker, Miss Janet
Hughes, house director of "Teen
Girls' Home" at London. Miss
Hughes stated that 54 girls had
been given the privileges of the
home last year. The girls receive
counselling, are helped to find
jobs, encouraged to stay in
school and helped to see that
they, as young adults, must learn
to shoulder the consequences of
their own actions. '
The thanks and appreciation
of those in attendance was
expressed by Mrs. J. Remington,
Goderich.

A resolution passed at the
meeting puts the district on
record as favouring a policy
which would allow elementary
school children to attend the fail
fair of 'their choice without
being counted absent from class.
James Doig, mover of the
resolution, said before making
the motion, "We will die a
natural death if we can't keep
the young people interested (in
fall fairs)." Mr. Doig blamed
poor communications between
the boards of education and the
local agricultural societies for
the confusion about whether a
school child could or couldn't
attend a fall fair this past season.
Glen McMichael of Gorrie said
the Howick fall fair "not only
needs the children there, but we
need their work. Our fair is built
around the school exhibits," he
said.

mentioned as well, Donald
Odbert, *rotary-manager of the
Stratford .agricultural society
said, "You can have a parade
.without -school children, but, you
een't have a gOod PaM0,"
Mr. Odbert told the meeting
that the problem arises from the
fact the education
administration has been
regionalized and the fall fair
efforts aren't on a regional basis
yet.
Earlier in the day Mr. Carson,
outgoing president of the
district, suggested that the fall
fairs in the Lake Huron .area
consider holding their fairs
earlier in the year when they
could provide entertainment for
the tourists along the lake shore.
"They would have to make a
few changes in the format of
their exhibits, but the earlier
fairs might stand a better chance
of survival. If it rains in June or
July it isn't nearly as cold as
when it rains in September," he
said.
Mr. Carson also said he would
like to see some of the
agricultural societies change the
size and design of their prize
lists. He had several examples of
attractive designs on the front of
the prize lists and said the
exhibitors like to have
something that will fit in their
pOckets without bending.
Frank Falconer, RR 5,
Clinton, told the meeting that
too many of the fairs aren't
offering enough prize money to
attract any competition to the
fairs. As an exhibitor of
Shorthorn cattle, he said he
traveled to eight different fall
fairs this year and had very little
competition.
He complained that some of
the fair boards charge the
exhibitors too much to make up
for what they lose at the gate by
too many people getting in free.
Most of the .people at the
meeting -agreed that too many
get in for nothing on passes
to them as qchibitOrs and
people who claim to be beIPM
Of exhibitors.
"If everybody was honest we
wouldn't have any Preblem,"
Mr. Odbert said.
K. J. Reaney, new associate
director of district 8,
complained that some
concession operators set up at
the fair, malce about $400 and
complain about having to pay to
get in at the gate. Some of them
make more profit than the
sponsoring fair board, he said.
