The Exeter Arena is a busy
spot Tuesday afternoons when
area mothers and their tots
enjoy free skating. There are
plenty of ups and downs as
these photos show. They were
taken this week at random as
the budding young hockey play-
ers and figure skaters test
their skills. — T-A photos

HOST DANCERS
Lloyd Buchanan, London, was
guest caller Saturday night at a
dance in South Huron District
High School auditorium. The
dance was sponsored by Exeter
'Promenaders.
Clubs in London, St. Marys,
Clinton and Seaforth were rep-
resented,
At the early hour of 7:45 a.m.c
on Monday, about 60 half-sleep-
ing girls of the Grade 10 Home
Ec classes at South Huron High
stumbled aboard the bus heading
for a day touring Schneider's
Meat plant and Guelph University.
We were greeted wonderfully
at the plant in Kitchener with
banners and treats by Mr. Shantz.
The girls were divided into two
groups and introduced to ou r
guides who would direct our tour.
Throughout the next two hours
the various stages were explained
to us as we saw how meat was
processed in various stages until
it was vacuum packaged and ready
for shipping.
Little did we realize what was
entailed to finally have those de-
licious looking packages of meat
in the cooler cases at our stores.
In completing this very inter-
esting tour, we went on our way
OPP report
— Continued from front pare
They spent 201 hours on duty
and covered a distance of 1,848
miles on patrol.
In the weekly safety tip, the
OPP advises all motorists that
when highway conditions are slip-
pery due to snow or ice, it takes
more room to stop your car. Slow
down and stay a safe distance be-
hind the car ahead of you, as your
stopping distance is greater than
on dry road conditions.

our area I would very much
appreciate receiving a copy of
last week's edition as I would
like to keep a scrap book of

ineon obtained for our Board.
Again, thank you for yonr help,

to our next destination.
During the afternoon we spent
several interesting hours atUni-
versity of Guelph. At Macdonald
Institute we were introduced to
Home Economics at the univer-
sity level.
After an interesting talk and
question period, we were shown
many of the classrooms by two
members of the faculty.
After we finished our tour of
Macdonald Institute we saw the
contrast of old and new vividly
drawn between Macdonald Hall
and the new residence,
Continuing our tour, Profes-
sor Robinson conduct ed us
through the new Arts building.
Points of interest were the drama
room, the music room, the sem-
inar room and the fabulous view
for the faculty lounge on the top
floor.
Everything was ultra-modern.
The very best of everything had
gone into the building. What a
pleasure it would be to attend
classes in these modern sur-
roundings.
As the girls were getting off
the bus when it finally reached
home, these comments could be
heard . . . "Next time I would
NOT leave so early" . . "It
was neat" . . . "I wish school
could be like this always" . . .
"I learned more today than any
ordinary school day."
It had been a long, tiring day,
but we had learned a great deal
and enjoyed ourselves immen-
sely. •
necessary has to be paid for by
those demanding it? Our tax dol-
lars should not have to be used
for such non=essentials — win or
lose.
In this town are nearly a dozen
religious sects indicating thatthe
majority of our citizens belong to
one or other of them. The Bible
condemns drink and drunkeness
over fifty times, bait if a.preaCher
says, "My followers can take it or
leave it alone)' we can expect the
people to follow his teaching, con-
trary as it might be to what the
Bible says on the matter.
When we realize that "drink"
is a factor in over half of all car
accidents, that it causes us to
need '70 peteent Of our police
force, that it has made a hell on
earth for many a family, that it
along with atheism ,and material-
ism has destroyed 19 civiliza-
bone before ours, I think it is
high time to view this monster in
its true light.
All the revenue It has put into
government coffers Can't pay for
One life killed or crippled as
result of someone's dtinking.
Might I say to those who quiek-
ly declare that Christ turned
water into wine. that it Could hot
have been fermented or He WOUld
have'opposed the Sc riptures
Which forbid its use. At the Last
Supper the Wine isn't even men-,
boned.
It Is tithe our dritilc,perinitting
preachers and church (?) MOM-
bets let JetuS Christ change
their Hearts and clean up their
lives so they be a credit
(instead of a disgrace) to Chris=
tianity.
