J. Snell led in the worship service. She suggested taking stock at the beginning of the year while reveiwing the year that has passed. She asked the girls to think of four “stock taking questions”; 1. What has C.G.I.T. meant to me as an in dividual? 2. What has it meant to our church? 3, What has C.G. I.T. meant to our community? 4, What has it meant in my re lationhip with other people? Before conducting the election of officers for 1954, Miss Helen Hardy paid tribute to the 19 53 executive for their loyalty and co-operation. Carol Fletcher, out going president, received a token of appreciation for her leader ship. Officers for the year are; past president, Carol Fletcher; presi dent, Jane Farrow; vice-presi dent, Betty Brady; secretary, Marilyn Bissett; treasurer, Bar bara Allison. Rebekah Lodge Treats Husbands The husbands of Rebekah lodge members were entertained at euchre following the regular meeting last Wednesday night.

A large ham was won by Stuart Dick in a ‘Dutch auction’, meeting, Rebekah- February During the business plans were made for a Odd Fellow dance on 10 in the Legion Hall. District Deputy President, Mrs. William Cann, reported that a special fund raised in her dis trict, was used to purchase three platform rockers for the use of residents of the County Home at Clinton. The chairs were deliver ed before Christmas and are be ing put to good use, Mrs. Jacobs had reported to Mrs. Cann. N.G., Mrs. Harry Beaver ap pointed a committee to work with the recreational council to organize a “Second Mile Club”, if enough of the older residents desire one. Named were Mrs. William Cann, Mrs. Harry Cole, Mrs. William Chambers, Mrs. William Etherington, Mrs. R. D. Jermyn and Mrs. E. Steiner. i For Babies Here’s a help for new mothers that has been organized recently in town. It’s a Well Baby Clinic, held every Monday from three to five pan. in the Public Health room downstairs at the hospital. In charge is our local Public Health nurse, Miss Hilda Pletch. The purpose of the clinic is to provide a convenient place where babies may be weighed and where routine questions may he answer ed— the little things that often bother brand new mothers and about which they are reluctant to bother their busy doctors. * * * * Exercise Soap Box And here’s an ideal exercise in grammar for Grade Eight pupils. They could put radio advertisers to shame with a simple grammar analysis of commercials from a not-too-distant station. * * * « Exeter Beautiful We made a survey one night early this week. It covered about half a block of Main Street, on one side of the street and it took five minutes. The Tally Although it was a pleasant night, we turned our gaze away from the heavens and down to earth to make the count. This is most of what we tallied: four battered cigarette boxes, cigar bands and three match folder covers; 16 fairly whole chocolate-bar wrappers and numerous bits of others; a tooth paste carton and a triangular piece of broken, green glass; a few bottle tops and a chewed straw; two well used Christmas trees which had collected an assortment of wrapping paper, paper bags and even some waxed paper; an old popsickle stick, a multitude of crumpled, dispos able paper handkerchiefs too numerous to count, and a shiny five-cent-pieee. All this, barring the trees, would fit quite nicely into one of those handsome galvanized waste-disposal cans, that com munities often place at strategic points on their streets, and there would still be room for the cigar ette butts that give the place an appearance of one big, untidy ashtray. All but the five-cent- piece, that is. * three Not At Home We make sure that small boys, and large ones too, leave their chocolate-bar wrappers in waste baskets' when they’re at home, but who can expect them to come home with a pocket full of waste paper just because 'there is no place for it but the sidewalk? What better public relations for Exeter’s Department of Good Works than shiny, high pails with the name in bold green or yellow’ or red letters encircling their middles? And what better target for an up-and-coming ball star than such a receptacle? P.S.: The person with the hole in his pocket may claim the five- cent-piece by proving ownership at The Times-Advocate office. If it is not claimed in 10 days it will be turned over to town of ficials as the first donation to wards the purchase of a refuse can for half-block afore mentioned, Bride-To-Be Showered! Friends of Miss Jean Ingram, February bride-to-be, surprised her at the home of Mrs. Murray Brintnell last Wednesday night. Mrs. Charles Cowen read an ad dress in rhyme and Jean was then presented with a miscellan eous shower of gifts by Mrs. Brintnell and Mrs. Tom Steiner. Snowball Queen Chosen By Ticket In last week’s account of the selection of the Snowball Queen at the annual dance sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Ex eter Legion, we were somewhat confused as to the way in which she was chosen. No advance bal lot was taken. Each lady attending the dance placed her ticket in the container designed like a snowball. One ticket was drawn by the orches tra leader. This year Mrs. Wil liam Chambers’ name was drawn and she received the crown from' last year’s queen, Mrs. Wes Ryck- man, who was selected in the same way. In for the Grand Bend W.l. Talks Education The Grand Bend Women’s stitute met in the town hall the January meeting with president, Mrs. Herbert Pfile, in the chair. Roll call was answered by “a verse I memorized at school”. Letters of thanks were read from the adopted Institute in England for the Christmas par cel and for the box of toys and treats sent to the Children’s Aid at Goderich. Mrs. Herbert Pfile, Mrs. W. H. Love and Mrs. W. Sweitzer were named as a committee to plan a father and son banquet for the Scouts, Cubs and their leaders. Mrs. Earl Burr commented on the motto, “Train a child in the way he should go and walk there yourself once in a while.” The topic on “Education” was taken by the convenor, Mrs. Willis Gill, who gave the history of the Weyburn School, also a very interesting paper on the Canadian Institute for the Blind at Brantford.
