AT . • ART'S SUPERTEST §t: .4821:7962' 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 lOppen news BY MRS.

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. Middleton news 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, The occasion was to honor 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. Mr, and Mrs. De Jong were called forward while William Dykstra read the address arid Bill Brand made the presentation. 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.

Reaney, Mitchell, assistant. 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. Guild will pack bale The Friendship Guild of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton, will hold an evening card party and pack a bale of good used clothing for the needy this month.

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. Mrs. W. 0.
