At the close of the exercises the graduates and their guests were served refreshments in the board room. Afterwards Mrs. Wilson, director of nursing, spoke proudly of the girls who now leave our hospital to work in other areas. She said that when the girls arrived last February they were fresh out of school, young and eager but with little conception of hospital work, However, in a very short time they had picked up hospital manners and nursing routine. "These girls are very much liked by the patients," she said, "It is with them the sick have their first intimate contact upon entering the hospital. It is not unusual that it falls to the R.N.A. to give the comfort and security so much needed for the welfare of the patient." Exeter artist creates beautiful decorations A visit to the home of Mrs. David Cross finds her already very busy with Christmas decorations. She produces many lovely arrangements for tables and doors using artificial flowers, cheery little elves and candles she has made herself. To achieve one set of elegant Christmas candles she painstakingly drips wax over pretty shaped bottles and candles. Here is the method she uses: First you will need an unusual shaped bottle, wax and a candle. Melt the wax over hot water. Hold bottle over the melting wax and spoon the wax over the bottle to form in droplets. You must be patient and do this slowly. If the wax is poured on too quickly it will run to the bottom of the bottle rather than forming the droplets. When the bottle is nearly done insert candle in the top and continue dripping until you get the desired effect on the candle also. Let the wax dry overnight and then spray with gold paint. Finish it off by attaching Christmas flowers or other decorations. CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS—Mrs. David Cross, Exeter is shown dripping wax over a candle and bottle. The final results will be a beautiful ornament to enhance her home. ••• SPECIAL HOURS ..9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Daily Fri. & Sat.

Church Women hold Christmas meeting 4 0 Rev. Glen Wright, Exeter addressed the seventh graduating class of the Registered Nursing Assistants at South Huron Hospital, November 28th. He reminded his audience that when one looks back on achievments it is the beginnings that are the most important. Mr. Wright told the graduates that he admired them, first of all, for the beginning they had already made in personal and academic growth. He admired them, too, for choosing to become members of the healing team. That in making • this choice they had chosen a job that was often difficult. He reminded them that they must continue to acquire new skills and knowledge but that they must also remember to retain a healing attitude. The graduates were challenged by Mr, Wright to "always see the patient as a person and not as a number on a door or a case history on a chart." People entering a hospital are often frightened by the strange atmosphere and they need someone to comfort them ▪ and make them feel as much at home as possible. "Your's is a holy task," he commended the girls," and we all admire you for tackling it." Graduation diplomas were presented by the class by Mrs. J. H. Delbridge, instructress, assisted by Mrs. M. R. Wilson, director of nursing. Vice-chairman of the Board of Directors presented each girl with a graduation pin. The graduates also received gifts from the medical staff and surpervisory staff. These were given by Dr. V. Gulens; and Mrs. B. Horton and Mrs. I. Bennewies of the nursing staff. Valedictorian, Elizabeth Ann Reinhardt, commended the staff of the South Huron Hospital Training Centre for the examples they had set for the student nurses. Speaking to them she said, "You have given us a part of yourselves which we will endeavour to maintain and pass along." She indicated the graduates realized they had been accorded a trust and a responsibility in receiving the basic tools of nursing. "Now we must go out to practice our knowledge and skill." Miss Reinhardt stressed that graduation is not an end but rather a new beginning. She told the graduates they will be faced with new ideas and trends and that in this moon walking age they must be ready to listen to new ideas. Her address ended by referring to the friendships made during the training days. She said, "TO-day we stand together as a class for the last time. Our hearts are full of joy and sorrow as we recall the past and look forward to the future." Miss Sharon Martine, a member of the South Huron Hospital staff was the soloist. She was accompanied by Miss Helen Nadiger. Mrs. W. Willard provided the processional and recessional music on the piano. The corsages of red roses for each graduate and other floral Display talents at church event The Exeter Pentecostal W.M.C. met at the home of Mt P. Bodaly for their monthly meeting. Mrs. K. McLaren opened the meeting with a solo, "God leads His dear children along." Mrs. Budge led in prayer and Mrs. Rhude read the scripture. The roll call was answered by 17 members using a Bible verse containing the world 'season'. There was a business discussion and letters were read from missionaries. Everyone took part in an impromtu program and several solos, duets, poems, testimonies, and piano instrumentals were given. Mrs. Elmer Desjardine was the speaker and her topic was "What the seasons really represent." The meeting closed with prayer. Units and 4 of the Exeter United Church Women met Monday night in the church rooms festively decorated for the Christmas season. Each unit conducted its own business meeting and then combined for worship and a Christmas program, A delightful play, "Gifts You Cannot Buy" was presented and reminded the members that gifts like a mother listening with patience to her child, a son clearing the sidewalks for his mother, a father spending a half hour in worship with his family are gifts that money cannot buy. It also reminded the ladies that the best gift of all was God's gift of His Son. A poem, "The Greatest Story Ever Told," was followed by prayer by Dorothy Taylor, Mrs. George Sereda sang two lovely Christmas songs accompanied by Mrs. Bev Skinner. In relating her experience with shoplifters Mrs. Gerald Glenn told the audience that adults are bigger offenders than children and teenagers. She stated that 3Q% of all shoplifting takes place the three weeks before Christmas. Hurondale WI fetes visitors The Hurondale Women's Institute entertained the Hensall and Crediton Institutes at their regular meeting. The Historical and Current Events committee was in charge of the program with Mrs. Lee Webber in the chair. Roil call was answered by "an historical event I should like to have witnessed." The motto, Lest We Forget was given by Mrs. Ray Cann, Thomas MacMillan, Exeter gave an interesting talk and demonstration on his hobby, working with rocks. Mrs. W. Burton and Miss Betty Coates showed slides of their recent trip to Zurich, Switzerland. Others taking part in the program were Davis Rundle who played several selections on his accordion, and Mrs. Wm. Rowcliffe who gave an amusing reading. President, Mrs. Harold Patterson; presided for the business, Reporting on the area convention in St. Thomas was Mrs. Mac Hodgert. Mrs. Lloyd Ballantyne gave a report on the district meeting in Hensall. A penny sale was held at the close of the meeting. An European trick for delicious gravy, according to the Poultry Products Institute of Canada, is the addition of a little dry or semi-sweet wine to the dripping in the pan during the last half to one hour of the roasting time of turkey or chicken. The alcohol evaporates but the flavour that is left adds to the gravy flavour. off:s.omawo wika Pica Mrs, Marjorie Dilks gave a touching Christmas story, "Annie's and Willie's Prayer."
