Facts N' Fancies

diet
an got to, deer?
I did once.
Donningan old maternityfrock
and a pair of ancient sneakers I
started to canter up Huron Street
at dusk one evening. (Sure, I
looked funny, but I would have
looked a lot funnier in my best
dress and heels, or in a pair of rear
splitting shorts with the zipper
gaping four inches.
The children on the street
were intrigued.
"Whose chasing you?" they
inquired, as they came out to
pace me on their bicycles.
Gasping from lungs searing
with pain I could only wave and
smile weakly. (This was at the end
of the first block).
The next night, I decided to
leave the jogging until after dark.
I had forgotten about the dogs
that run loose at night.
Picture me, if you can, with
my gown flapping loosely about
me, trotting up the street with
every size and breed of canine
yapping merrily at my heels.
. It's not the dignified image I
like.
So I waited until 11:30 the
next evening trusting that all
sensible people would have their
dogs and kids bedded down by
that hour. The moon was shining
and I was quite enjoying my
caper, when suddenly, a few
yards ahead of me, a figure arose
from the ditch and staggered
toward the road.
No need to see what kind of
apparition it was I wheeled and
galloped for home at a speed
that would put John Gilpin's
steed to shame.
That did it. No more jogging
for me.
Besides, I gained five ounces,
due no doubt to the hunger
created from all that exercise
and who can sleep on an empty
stomach?
So, what's to do?
I read in a Toronto paper
recently that Judy LaMarsh says
the best thing for losing weight is
a torrid love affair.
Certainly sounds fun, but my
husband is so blessed
old-fashioned about things like
that,
I still think it was better in
Grandma's day when ladies were
expected to put on a little flesh
once they got over 35.
Actually, there was no other
way for them to go if one can
believe the suggested bills of fare
printed in a cook book of 100
years ago.
A suggestion for breakfast is as
follows: Broiled spring chickens,
home rolls, Irish potatoes,
scrambled eggs, fried oysters, rye
and Indian bread, coffee, tea or
chocolate.
That was breakfast, mind you.
Space does not permit the
menus listed for lunch or dinner,
let alone supper, which
apparently was eaten sometime
between dinner and mid-night.
Who could possibly stay
dainty and trim eating like that?
But, somehow or other, wily
Grandma was able to convince
Grandpa that 'plump girls were
more fun and that thin, chic
women were ladies of ill repute
and not to be trusted!
And that, I have decided, is my
philosophy, too.

The fashion news that belts are
back, and styles are clinging with
no room for even an average
amount of pudge has me in a
dilemma.
I gave up wearing belts 15
pounds ago,
Having read that latest news
flash I started out to look for my
waist, which, with the advent of
the sack, the shift and the A-line
seemed to have disappeared
without my even noticing.
But, after much poking,
squeezing, punching and finally
even measuring I was forced to
the conclusion it was completely
lost somewhere between those
rolls between my bust and my
thighs.
Now, the question is, to get it
back or not to get it back . . . or
worded another way, to diet or
not to diet?
Is is worth all the effort
involved to lose 15 pounds?
I wish I lived in Grandma's day
when diets were unheard of.
When you realized, one day, that
your chin was brushing your
bosom and that you hadn't seen
your toes for sometime you
maybe went to the doctor who
told you flatly, "You're getting
fat, Emma."
Then, you went home and
either did his prescribed
exercises of pushing yourself
away from the table a little
sooner than before, or you
cheerfully forgot about it and
continued to enjoy good meals
and good health for the rest of
your life.
Not now.
Everyone is just dying to share
his latest fad diet with you.
People are making millions
thinking up low-caloried
unappetizing foods for you to
try. There's the Mayo diet, the
grapefruit diet, the egg and
banana diet, to mention only a
sprinkling.
Heaven knows I've tried them
all and I'm here to tell you they're
no fun at all and about as tasty as
a bristol board and sawdust
sandwich.
Of course, you can take up
jogging.

Message from fair's
ladies' division president
It is Fall Fair Times in Ontario
and more specifically it is Exeter
Fair Time.
The Ladies Division specially
invites all ladies in the area to
compete in the various classes.
We believe that everyone does
at least one thing better than
another, and we hope that we
have included that class in our
prize list.
We do not contend that the
amount of prize money offered is
in direct proportion to the
amount of time and work that
goes into the preparation of
articles for exhibition but we do
believe that peaceful competition
is good for the exhibitor, an
inspiration to the receiver and a
morale booster for the
community.
Every year the lady directors
are amazed at the quality of the
work exhibited. It reflects the
ability and perfection that can be
found in the homes of our area.
Bring your work to the fair this
year.
eir

Pat Cross, a fall fair
booster from way back
"11
A booster of Fall Fairs is Mrs.
Dave Cross, Exeter, who has
already entered exhibits in four
fairs and is preparing for four
more.
In the Flower Exhibit at the
Western Fair in London she has
already won six first prizes, 15
seconds, and 16 thirds. Since the
flowers must be replaced three
times during the week she stands
to pick up some more points at
the final showing.
At Mitchell and Bayfield fairs
she achieved many prizes for her
sewing and arrangements of
flowers.
This week she will show at
Seaforth and later on her work
will be on display at Exeter,
Thedford, Kirkton and Zurich
fairs.
Mrs. Cross plans to enter about
40 exhibits at the local fair in the
flower, sewing, and arts and crafts
divisions.
Asked where she got her
enthusiasm for exhibiting she
replied, "I've shown at fairs ever
since I was a little girl in Thedford
when I used to grow flowers and
vegetables for the fall fair. It's
something I really love doing."
Pat Cross must be a Fair
Director's dream.

Irish lady says habits
of Canada 'delightful
Mrs. H. J. McKeever, Brae
Lodge Lisburn, Northern Ireland,
is visiting in Exeter with her sister
and husband, Reverend George
and Mrs. Anderson.
Although she has travelled
extensively in Europe this is her
first trip to North America.
An active worker in the
Women's Institute she is a past
president of that organization
and a few years ago at the
A.C.W.W. held in Ireland met
Mrs. W. D. Mack of Crediton.
Since her arrival here she and Mrs.
Mack have renewed
acquaintances.
Mrs. McKeever's husband is a
cattle feeder farmer and her son is
also actively involved in
agriculture as a farmer and a
part-time interviewer on farming
subjects on T. V. and radio.
Mrs. McKeever expresses a
keen interest in Canadian
methods of farming and in all
Canadian customs, many of
which she finds 'delightful'.
When she was asked about the
present unrest in Ireland, Mrs.
McKeever stated that the trouble
is more political than religious,
that there is a great deal of
nationalism involved as well as a
sprinkling of communism.
She said, "All church people
want peace. The persons who are
causing most of the trouble never
attend church at all." She went
on to say that much of what is
