Mr. Anton Lendi, a goodwill ambassador from Switzerland and Mr, C. Gingerich, who has recently returned from Biafra addressed the students last week. In the near future, the Geography Club will be holding a Conference on "pollution" when noted speaker§ on this topic will be present. Following are reports on the addresses given to the SI-IDIIS students by Mr. Lendi and Mr, Gi ngerich as written by Grade 13 13 student, Barbara Elliott. "Honour, esteem and respect the countries of all men but passionately and devotedly love your own." This, said Mr. Anton Lendi, "is the formula for peace and understanding among all nations of the world." Mr. Lendi who recently took the students of S.H.D.H.S. on a breathtaking visual tour of Switzerland has for the past twenty years been travelling throughout Canada and. 'United States telling inspiring Stories of his country.. Both students and teachers Were deeply moved .1q3! the. (passionate loe). this. man has for his country. He speaks from the heart- Pis portrayal of Switzerland and the appealing qualities of its proud people reveals the secret of the strength and timeless serenity of this tiny nation. The country has a population of six million ingenious, personable and romantic citizens. A very impressive fact. metnioned is that • within this nation which is less than half the size of Southern Ontario, there are four different languages spoken, One citizen speaks or.another as being a fellow countryman and does not refer to a man being a French speaking Swiss, a German speaking Swiss or a Purchases Over $5,00 Gift Wrapped FREE Swiss Jiving in the old Roman sphere of tradition, Within ••Canada there is a marked dissension among the citizens having only two main. language differences', The Swiss secret is their belief in brotherbood and co-operation among all men,. Another astonishing point which brings to light the petty differences in our own society is the Swiss tradition of sharing one church for the use of both protestant and catholic denominations, They feel it “rnakes more sense' to share these facilities and to co-operate with each other in every possible way. There is a profound respect among all men for individual freedom, The word "unemployment" is unknown to Switzerland, There are jobs for everyone, The country is comprised of skilled and semi-skilled labourers who combine new technological adVances with their own ingenuity to make Switzerland an economically prosperous nation. The Swiss make fifty percent of the world's supply of watches and are responsible for many other remarkable advancements, If we consider the fact that Switzerland has little or no resources of its own, the stability of its economy emphasizes the utilization of its more abundant resource — the mind, A tribute to the Swiss! The purpose of Mr Lendi's job is to introduce America to his country and to encourage communications and friendship between the two. He has been tremendously successful in arousing our interest and our desire to visit his homeland and to see for ourselves the beauty and peace which could become a part of our Canada if each of us had half the passion and devotion of this man. The report of Mr. Gingerich's address will be concluded in Monday's issue. Busy schedule — Continued from front page The Harper firm has been doing the auditing of all school boards but two in the entire county. Clarence "King" McDonald, one of the representatives for Exeter and the townships of Stephen and Usborne told the T-A, Wednesday afternoon that the board would be choosing a temporary bank at a meeting Wednesday night, "so Mr. Harper can get on with his business." Until further appointments are made, the present school boards will be issuing their own cheques for another two months or so. Under provincial regulations, present boards could operate until June 30. McDonald said, "our public school board here in Exeter has enough money to carry on for at least two months. We budgeted with this in mind." A site for permanent headquarters for the new board has not yet been selected. Facilities are available in Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth. By MRS.

That was in regard to the proposed rate increase being sought by the Bell Telephone Company. Although most members were of the opinion it would do little good, they did vote unanimously to send a letter objecting to the proposed hike in telephone fees. They also learned that starting on January 1, prisoners from Exeter taken to the Goderich jail will cost the local ratepayers $12 per day. This is the fee set by the provincial government, who have taken over the administration of justice. Although this is a new direct cost for prisoners' keep, Exeter paid for this service in the past through their annual assessment to Huron County council which paid the costs of the maintenance of the jail and care of the prisoners. Mayor Jack Delbridge said he couldn't understand why the province was turning this cost back to the municipalities. However, it was indicated that Exeter's cost would be light in most years as few prisoners are taken from here to the county jail for any length of time. By MRS.

Mrs. Harvey Smith presided for the business and lunch was convened by Mrs. Arthur Abbott. PERSONALS Mr . & Mrs. John Thomas of Only four more shopping days till December 25th . , . three, two, one. The commercialism at Christmas never fails to dismay us as we wander through the crowded stores eyeing suspiciously the fake Santa Clauses, the two month old decorations, the strained good humour, and the raised price tags. We shake our heads, wonder where the good old Christmases have gone, and vow to do our season's shopping in June or July forever after (but the same disgruntled faces will appear on the scene, the same time and the same place, the following year). ¶We hear children gleefully ordering their toys from wealthy old 'Santa in early November. We protest at the pink, purple and blue artificial trees which can be cunningly scented with true pine aroma. We groan at the infinite mailing lists spread before us and have heart attacks every Christmas Eve when we realize that Auntie Mae's perfume is still decorating an Eaton's countertop. We frown on the fact that Santa and his reindeers seem to Kitehener were weekend visitors with Mr, & Mrs. Ray Shoebottom.. Mr, Mr, .4 Mrs..

Donna and dominate the occasion while Jesus and His birthday are somewhere outside in the snow, far removed from the glistening trees and piles of presents. "Christmas! Bah! Boxing Day is the time for real celebration." So who cares about Christmas anymore? You do! What is this mystical magic which brings anticipation at the first snowfall, the glowing sense of good will and that rare but beautiful feeling late Christmas Eve? For what reason has Christmas become so firmly established in our society so that neither modern sophistication nor all the atheists in the world can wipe- it from existence? After all, if the belief that God is dead is so popular then why bother with December 25? There are reasons — so many families, beautiful, beloved and ageless things that combine to produce a truly holy day. It's the snow at night, Santa Claus, twinkling bulbs, the mistletoe, smiles and carols, candles and friendship, cards and bright wrapping, holly and ivy, tinsel and candy canes, bells and children — and love. This is Christ at Christmastime. LEWIS J. FARRELL Lewis J. Farrell, RR 1 Grand Bend passed away at Strathroy Hospital, Wednesday, December 18, in his 75th year.
