Beavers Hardware joins
Ontario -wide .Crest plan
Beavers Hardware announces
Millis week its association with the'
rapidly -growing Crest chain of i
stores.
A grand opening celebration
this weekend features free draws I
and special prices on a variety
of items frons appliances to!
fuses.
Extensive alterations to the a1 -
.ready modern store have been
completed to provide the latest
quick -serve features in hardware
merchandising.
With the opening, Beavers
Hardware joins the province -
wide hardware group which in-
corporates the features of chain
store buying but retains the ad-
. vantage of individual ownership.
Crest stores are privately owned
and operated enterprises which
have joined together to offer
quality merchandise at low
price.
The organization was formed
only two years ago and already
has some 100 store -members in
Ontario.
The opening this weekend
marks the third major renova-
tion undertaken by the store in
the past two decades. In 1947,
it was hailed by a trade publi-
cations as the forerunner of the
trend in hardware selling.
Another major "facelifting"
was completed early last year.
The new interior features_ a
,completely self -serve operation
in which all items are attrac-
tively, displayed where custom-
ers may select them quickly.
Departments are clearly identi-
Pied to assist shoppers in locat-
ing merchandise,
Bright colors and modern
lighting give the store an at-
tractive and refreshing atmos-
phere.
The firm, now in its second
location, was founded by B. W.
F. Beavers in 1920, when he pur-
chased a hardware store from
Hugh Spackman. It remained on
the east side of Main, near the
John St. corner, for 26 years.
Reg Beavers joined his father
in S6ptember, 1945, and pur-
chased the business on January
1, 1946. During the next year,
the present building, which was
occupied by the former Exeter
Cafe, was purchased and reno-
vated, including the installation
of a new front.
Your children, your grandchildren the visits, the eager welcomes,
the love so freely given and shared ... these are the most wonderful
dividends life can bring you. Retirement years are bright with
such joys -- particularly if you. are independent, a burden to no one.
How very wise to arrange low-cost Mutual Life of Canada
insurance when young, to provide you with an adequate monthly income
when you retire, so that you will be independent financially.
Through the years your policy will share in the dividends for
which The Mutual Life of Canada is famous.
Why not arrange yourpension policy, providing protection and
savings, with a Mutual Life of Canada representative today.

Witnesses plan
Are you angry at the teacher
of your child because ,of a mis-
take that teacher has Made?
Before you sound off, here's
' something you might do, sug-
gests George A. Pearson, sup't
i of .elementary edueation :In On-
tarso:
I Gather up to 15 or 20 of the
I neighborhood children and put
them in your living room for
half a day. Try to keep them
under control by providing proj-
Iepts to maintain their interest
and respect.
If you can do this without
1 making one ,mistake, without be-
coming ruffled or angry, then
you can complain without re-
straint.
area convention
L. A, Hoffman, local minister
of Jehovah's Witnesses in Exe-
ter and district, announced at
the conclusion of a six months'
training program arrangements
for a three-day assembly Oc-
tober 30, 31 and November 1,
1959 in the West Middlesex Me-
morial Centre, Strathroy, with
an expected attendance of up to*
900 delegates.
Over 30 Exeter congregation
ministers have arranged to at-
tend, said Mr. Hoffman.
The assemblies are designed
to train ministers with advanced
scriptural .information to teach
publicly from the platform and
from house to house. Mr. Hoff-
man will share in the Friday
evening program by presenting
a practical demonstration on,
however, if you run into some
difficulties, then perhaps you will
appreciate the difficult task of
the teacher and you may not be
inclined to be harsh.
Mr. Pearson made this sug-
gestion at the opening of the
McGillivray School Friday night
when he appealed for co-opera-
tion between parents and teach-
ers.
"Teachers are human. They
will make mistakes and do things
which will annoy you," he said.
"But they need your sympathy
and respect."
Education is a joint effort, he
stated. 4'I hope that you, as par-
ents, with the help of your
churches and schools, will be
able to raise your children so
that all their yesterdays will be
happy memories."
"How to break free from the
cares of this busy world to do
the complete will of God."
