This Christmas Opening edition should impress Upon district residents that merchants in their home area •offer a complete range of gifts at reasonable prices. What's more, merchants in Exeter and other area •towns are going all out to make Christmas shop- ping at home more enjoyable. Decorations, entertain- ment, and valuable prizes are a few of the extra' features which will greet customers. And merchants are staying open longer hours for the convenience of shoppers. These are all good reasons why we should shop at home, •particularly at Christmas time. But there are other more important ones. Christmas is the season for giving but let's not "give away" our community through short- sighted shopping away from home. Let's' remember that the dollars we spend here stay here to develop our •community—to pay 3 taxes, build schools, pave and light streets and m a hundred other 'ways make our district a better one in which to live. Let's keep our money at home this ChriStmaS, Consider The Case, it's a good thing that Exeter is having an election this year, It's been three, years since the electors cast a ballot to pick their representatives. No town should appoint its officers by acclamation any longer than that, There appears to be no particular issue at stake in the vote for council; it is more of a test of strength for the present members. Most of them will welcome the challange since the majority have not faced an election in ther re- latiyely short political careers. Electors will have to decide if they are satis- fied with the job the council has been doing. If they •are not, they sbould determine what effect the new members will have on municipal government if elected. The case must be considered. Be prepared to. cast an intelligent vote on Mdnday. Safe Driving Week "There can be no greater work than that de- signed to save lives, prevent injury and reduce damage to. property," claims Prime Minister Diefen- baker in expressing his support of Canada's national ,Safe -Driving Week. The .Prime Minister calls on every Canadian citizen to regard this work as his personal responsibility; Safe -Driving Week, December 1 to 7, is being sponsored by the Canadian Highway Safety Confer- ence. "Since traffic is rated only' below cancer and heart disease as a killer of Canadians, every action that might reduce this hazard to our national life and economy must be strongly encouraged," Mr. Diefenbaker said. Important Statement Ratepayers of McGillivray township should take serious note of the statements made at their nomination' meeting by two trustees who were elect- ed to the school board last year. Chairman Kenneth Sholdice and Arthur Sirnp- son, both of whom were elected to oppose the con- struction of anew school, have changed their minds after viewing conditions at first hand. In their reports to ratepayers both men in- dicated in no uncertain terms that the conditions -of some of the buildings have reached the point where drastic action must be taken soon. Chairman Sholdice, in a carefully prepared address, indicated the people of McGillivray were neglecting their responsibility to the younger genera- tion by being content with schools which went out with horse and buggy days. Mr. Simpson said some of the barns in MCP Gillivray, were in better shape than several_ Of the schools. These are harsh words. But they came fre• m tesponsible, conscientious representatives who were obviously sincere in their opinions. The remarks of Mr. Sholdice Were so significant that we have repro- duced 'them elsewhere in this issue. , 1 We urge all' McGillivray 'ratepayers to read carefully the speech of Mr. Sholdice. It is an excellent critique of a controversial problem.

Jottigs By NS One .01 Fines Houses Now Being Torn Down What at one time was consi- dered one of the 'finest homes in Exeter is- now being torn down for a new home for the nurses at the South :Heron Hos- piker The building is opposite the hospital and is one of the oldest landmarks in Exeter. Much of the building has been demo- lished, a few rooms having been left to be used for storage while the new building is being erect- ed. The home was built by Mr, Joseph Acheson, grandfather of Charles and Amelia Acheson of the Central Hotel, and has changed hands a number of times. Following the Achesons, it was owned by Arthur Rollins, who with Mr. Williams, of Zurich, built the Cann flour mill. The next occupant was A. E. Ben- nett, a cleric with J. A. Ste- wart. Mr. R. N. Rowe, funeral di- rector and furniture dealer, grandfather of R. C. Dinney who is now carrying on the business, Purchased the 'residence from Mr. Bennett. It was in 1909 that the accompanying picture was taken, showing Mr, and Mrs. Bowe' and family-, including Miss Vera, (Ida). Mrs. Dinney; (Reta) Mrs. James Smith, all of town and Lillie, deceased. For a number of -.years we lived beside the Rowe family and many a game of tennis was played on the Rowe lawn. Some of the older ones will remember the funeral hearse owned by Mr. Rowe, It was a high lila* hearse with plumes at the :corners and dark drapes on the inSit10.. It was drawn by blaCk horses coveited 'witha black net. In winter runners were substituted for wheels. It was. In the days when livery ta ritobliirenerstl"er.airsrhye-dallsanclforwerePtrhee, vided along with fur robes that have long smceodisappeared.. Mr. Rowe was the prond 'possessor of the first motor hearse that came to Exeter. Following the -deathof hos. Rowe the hone was SOW to Wm. Penhale on ids retirement from the farm The last awner. • was Dr. E. .S, Steiner, veterivarY, who..sold the Property.to the hospital authorities and moved to the United States, Mrs, Steiner is affectionattly remembered by: many readers of The Times.- Advocate • as "Gram" with her 'interesting co, lurnn of household recipes. Opposite the home for, many years' was the Carling residence, the forerunner of the Present South Huron Hospital. The Car- ling home .was, transformed in- to. office and • reception rooms on the ground floor and the rooms on the second floor being fitted up for the . nurses, With the growth of the hospital and the increase in the 'staff more accommodation was required and with a generous gift from Mr, Bell, of Hensall, a nurses' residence became 'a possibility and when completed •will• be modern in eery way and a va- luable..adjunct to the hospital. 1111111111k111111 ll I lllll 111111111I1111111111111 lllll I lll I l P111 llll l 1 llllll 11130111,111161111111111 lllll 1111110 llllllll 1101111111,1,11 lllll Y llllll llll lllll lllll • * ' .This annoyed me hugely, so r depided to get the REAL inside story :from Russia. And I knew just where to get it. I dropped a line to an old prison -camp friend of mine, a Czech called Joe, ex -pilot. Back in '44 he did- n't think much „of the British, detested the Yanks and French and. bitterly hated the Germans. He thought Russian and corn- nitinism were the answer to man's inhumanity to Man, and Went off with the Russian troops when they liberated our camp. * * s * * I didn't see him again, until / ran across him a month ago, in a Toronto bistro of the lower sort. He was not the old Joe, who could distill a batch of hooch from a few spuds, argue allnight about the rights of ntan, or sing a wild, Czech song until the tears ran down his cheeks. But he was still Jee, and *nolindy's man but his own. I learned that he was about three weeks newly out of Rus- sia,tibut not a word would he say of how or why. * * * * So when I got furious the other 'day about the big deal "inter- view!' with Kruschev, I wrote a list of questions to the address Joe had given me in Toronto, to find out what really makes Rus- sia tick. Here they are, with his answers, in his on quaint brand ofEnglish. * * * Question: Joe, what is it really like in Russia? Answer: So you're a chicken? You been in- side an egg? That's what is like, and some day you are fried egg sandwich, no ketchup. * * 4 * Question: What do the Russian people, not the leaders, but the people, think of the atom bomb and other nuclear weapons? An- swer: Hah! Russian peoples don't know atom bomb from Adam's apple. they crazy, them /tuition. Nice people. But dumb.
