For me to take Shirley
Keller's place is like expecting a
candle to fill in for an electric
light. There is considerable
brilliance missing.
All will miss Shirley's versatile
column and her competent
reporting. But those who knew
her at work will regret her
absence even more.
Her lively wit, bubbling
laughter and interest in everyone
added zest to our working days
and often lifted our lagging
spirits. We hated to see her go
but our loss is the gain of the
Goderich Signal Star.
To Shirley we all say, "Bon
chance and God bless!" * * *
Another T,A. staffer, Janet
Bloch and I went to Toronto by
train to attend a newspaper
seminar at the Lord Simcoe
Hotel last week.
Days before departure I
scanned my aging wardrobe with
a skeptical eye. Did I have
anything fit to wear in the big
city? Were my skirts short
enough or should I hike them up
a little more?
I certainly didn't want anyone
to pick me out as a `country
cousin'.
'Twas not to worry.
Admittedly, our stay was
brief and the distance from
Union Station and the hotel is
only two or three blocks. But
it's safe to say that between
King Street and Fleet Street,
Janet and I were about the best
dressed people we saw! * * *
We did see several maxi-coats
though.
I haven't spotted any in
Exeter yet. I guess it's a matter
of getting used to them but as I
gazed at them in Toronto I
couldn't help but be reminded
of the little girls who came to
the door on Halloween dressed
up in their mother's old clothes. * * *
That's another thing we
saw .. teenagers wearing their
mothers' old clothes . ... old fur
coats, to be specific.
It seems, like wine, the older
the vintage the better. Some of
them looked like the cat had
been using them for a bed for
several years. But that's the idea
the worse they look, the
better they are.
Too bad I got careless and
threw out a ratty old one a few
years ago. My daughter would be
right in vogue now. * * *
As a rule I don't usually
throw things out. I possess a pair
of red satin lounging pyjamas
Take Your Pick

Wade- iftetti
that were given to my sister 38
years ago.
Every ten years or so they
come back in style and, they're
hauled out of the trunk again.
Needless to say, they're getting
another work out this winter. *
I have found out that chivalry
is not dead .. • not quite.
When Janet and I boarded the
train for home Friday night we
got caught in the weekend crush.
Neither of us got on in time to
get seats. Lots of men were
sitting but it seemed not to
bother them a whit that an aging
matron like myself and a
beautiful girl like Janet had to
stand.
Three teenage lads were
travelling together in our car,
one of whom had been lucky
enough to get the last vacant
seat. I noticed them hold a
whispered consultation and then
one of them gallantly offered me
the seat while the other two
stood by grinning. (Age before
beauty, you know, Janet.)
I accepted gratefully and I
hope graciously. It left me with
a good feeling and I've a
sneaking suspicion the boys were
feeling good too.
Anyway, I came home and
promptly gave my own two sons
another lecture on gentlemanly
social graces. * * *
Having tasted the music of the
St. Joseph's Concert Band and
Chorus at the Cancer Rally at
Clinton two weeks ago, a group
of us went to London to hear
them again Saturday night.
This time they were featured
with the Salvation Army Band at
Centennial Hall.
Compere Don Gray remarked
it was the first time a Roman
Catholic Band had appeared on
the same stage as a Salvation
Army Band, or any Protestant
band for that matter.
The music they produced was
food for the soul and it truly
was a great ecumenical
achievement.
It was suggested the two
bands tour Northern Ireland. * * *
The same night the boss and
his wife were attending the 'Lion
in Winter' at the London Little
Theatre. They came back with
mixed reactions.
It appears that the London
Little Theatre is not having the
success it enjoyed in the past
selling its subscriptions.
Several people, myself
included, have let our
memberships lapse this past year
or two because we got tired of
the type of play presented.
Surely when we go to the
theatre it is not too much to
expect to be entertained and
uplifted rather than to be
dragged through the mirk and
mire. We see enough of that in
real life.
Hopefully, the London Little
Theatre is offering a better
bill-of-fare this time and it will
have a successful year. It would
be sad indeed, if it went out of
existence. * *
BATTLING
THE COMMON COLD
Everybody has a cold.
The drug stores are doing a
roaring business in vitamins,
nose sprays, cough syrups,
gargles, tissue, aspirin, chest rub
and dozens of other remedies
that come unto the market every
year.
You can take it from me that
you can forget most of that
stuff. To battle a cold all you
need is a bed, a bottle of aspirin
and a jug of juice.
Last year I was losing a fight
with a cold. I was so sick it hurt
to even roll my eyeballs and I
could scarcely rasp out a sound.
I phoned the doctor and
suggested he come hastily
around with some of those
high-fulootin' sounding drugs of
his.
Imagine my disbelief when he
told me ever so casually to go to
Facts N Fancies
By Gwyn
coat
bed, take aspirins every three or
four hours and drink lots of
fluids.
It was a pretty disappointing
happy-go-lucky approach and I
had certainly expected more
dramatic action,
Now, my grandmother really
knew how to fly into action in a
situation like this. When one of
her brood felt a bit feverish did
she reach for the Contact C? Of
course not. She reached for a
bottle of alcohol in which had
been pickled enough red peppers
to give it a good whang.
A spoonful of that stuff and
you didn't dare catch a cold, let
alone mention one for the rest
of the winter.
But should a person not
receive this treatment soon
enough and develop a sore
throat, her diligence knew no
bounds. In less time than you
can gulp a pill, she was slapping
huge slices of hot salt pork
which had been boiled in vinegar
around that person's neck and
tying it up expertly with
Grandpa's grey wool sock.
That was a remedy that made
an impression. It was colorful
and made the sickly one feel
important, I'm sure.
Grandma had another sure
cure. For a chest cold she
whipped up a mixture of red
pepper, coal oil and mutton
tallow. Rubbed on briskly back
and front and covered with the
flap of old red underwear it
worked like a charm, so she says
in a book she left us.
Charm or not, it is fascinating
that enough of the family
survived her cures to carry on
the name.
But survive we have, along
with the rest of mankind from
one of the oldest plagues to
humans, the common cold.
Although it's considered a
minor illness it causes more
absenteeism among school
children, military personnel and
industrial and professional
groups than any other ailment.
It costs millions of dollars in
taxpayers' money and in lost
wages.
But, as usual, it's an ill wind
that doesn't blow somebody
some good. It provides jobs and
incomes for thousands of people
in the manufacturing and selling
of various remedies and drugs
for treatment.
Lucky indeed, is the person
who gets through the winter
without at least one bout with a
cold.
The experts claim the best
way to do this is to avoid
chilling, overheating, exhaustion
and nervous fatigue.
Because colds are caused by a
virus the most effective way to
prevent the spreading of the
ailment is to isolate the cold
sufferer.
But there are lots who won't
be isolated so we'd all better arm
ourselves with our own favorite
remedy and get ready for that
grand old winter sport of
fighting off a cold.
* * *
There's a phrase, "No medals
for loneliness," which refers to
the lot of soldiers.
But closer to home is a more
poignant spot for the same
thought .. . our old people.
Old people who all their lives
have been busy and useful now
find themselves on the shelf.
Often they are alone. People
come and see them sometimes ..
if it doesn't interfere too much
with their own plans.
Sometimes.
Mostly they don't complain.
Floral arrangements of yellow
and white mums and candelabra
formed the background for the
wedding in Calvary United
Church, Dashwood of Diane
Carol Weber and Eric Eagleson,
November 1, 1969, the 22nd
anniversary of the bride's
parents Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E.
Weber, Dashwood.
The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Stanley J. Eagleson,
Parkhill.
Rev. C. B. Carr uncle of the
bride officiated, with Rev. B.
Guy assisting. Wedding music
was supplied by Mrs. Jeanne
Crocker with Mrs. Edith Carr
singing 'Two Shall Be One' and
`The Wedding Prayer'.
Given in marriage by her
father, the bride wore a floor
length gown of velvet, empire
style with controlled A-Line
skirt. The bodice and lilypoint
sleeves were of guipure lace and
crepe. A detachable chapel train
trimmed with guipure lace fell
from the empire waist. A French
illusion four tiered veil was held
in place by a rosette headpiece
enhanced by tear drop crystals
and seed pearls. She carried .a
Bible covered with yellow
sweetheart roses.
Bridal attendants were Miss
Carrie Anne Steeper, Parkhill,
cousin of the bride, Mrs. Doris
Mathers, Parkhill, sister. of the
groom, Mrs. Brenda Carr,
London and Miss Shelley Weber,
Crediton, cousin of` the bride.
Flower girl was Miss Cheryl
Dunn, Bayfield.
They wore floor length gowns
of peacock green velvet with
controlled A-Line skirt, a rolled
collar in contrasting green peau
de sole floating, into a deep V in
back. The gowns featured long
fitted sleeves with peau de soie
cuffs. They wore rosette
headpieces of velvet and carried
nosegays of yellow roses and
carnations.
Mr. Irwin Eagleson, Parkhill,
was best man for his brother
while Allen Eagleson, Manitoulin
Island, Frank Eagleson,
Southampton, and Bill Weber,
Dashwood ushered guests from
London, Toronto, Leamington,
They are grateful for small
crumbs of companionship. But
they are alone and so terribly
lonely.
Let's try to spare more time
for the older people in our lives.
Time is the most precious thing
we can give them.
00e4 a eted
A good sense of humor
is a fine thing to have at
any age, but as we grow
older it is especially useful.
The anonymous author of
this poem had one, and
I'm glad he shares it with
us:
Now I am old, my pace
seems to slack,
I stroll to the corner and
puff my way back.
The reason I know my
youth has been spent
Is, . my "get-up-and-go"
has got up and went.
But I really don't mind
when I think with a
grin
Of the wonderful places
my "get-up" has been,
So now I've retired from
life's competitions
I'm completely content
with each day's
repetitions.
I get up in the morning
and dust off my wits
By scanning the headlines
and then the Obits.
If my name is missing I
know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast,
and go back to bed.
