Why Give It Away?
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.

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.

' .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.

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

Crazy.
