A couple of quotes Editor
Batten would do well to engrave
on his mind are 'Cast Your
Bread Upon the Water and the
Same Will Come Back to You'
and `The Wrath of Hell is
Nothing to That of a Woman
Riled'.
In other words, HE'D
BETTER WATCH OUT, *
So, I gave away my pay
cheque at the Fair last week.
You'll admit it was an honest
mistake. Nevertheless, I had
hoped to keep the news of this
innocent, little faux pas
confined to a small group.
The editor, however, deemed
otherwise, and without my
knowledge and behind my back,
he `snuck' the whole episode
into last week's paper.
The guffaws and chuckles,
not to mention the down right
belly laughs, which resulted,
would put Wayne and Shuster to
envying.
All week I could scarcely
move out of the house without
some wise-acre making
humiliating cracks about my
`generosity'. These were
accompanied by knowing grins
and nods that indicated if there
was anything in my head at all,
it had to be wool.
My image as a clear-thinking,
cool, collected, calm and
intelligent matron had been
destroyed in one swoop.
Well, Mr. Batten, the
blabberer, is grinning now, but
every dog has his day, and you
can rest assured, that this dog
will have her's.
Mind you, I've not a
revengeful bone in my body, but
I have learned in my long and
varied life that the laws of
compensation are as true and as
sure as the sunrise.
Oh, they may take a little
time to be processed, but I can
wait ... or if need be, I can give
them a gentle push to hurry
them along.
* *
The first time I was humbled
by a mere male was in Grade II
when the teacher was teaching
us the rollicking song of
Clementine. The words were
written on the black board and I
was roaring them out in fine
style when a smart-alek boy,
standing next to me, suddenly
stopped the proceedings by
shooting up his hand and waving
it madly.
With a malicious grin, that
dirty kid blabbed to the teacher
and the rest of the class that
`she' (pointing to me) was
singing "her ring boxes" instead
of "herring rings boxes without
topses were the shoes for
Clementine." Peals of uproarious
laughter rose from the group as
they began to imagine
Clementine stuffing her number
nines into "ring boxes".
I can still feel the hot blood
of shame rising to my face as
they sneered at my inability to
read the words properly.
However, the time of
restitution was not long in
arriving.
There has to be something
good come out of having two big
brothers, and one of the arts
they had taught me was the
expertize of packing rock-like
spitballs and capulting them
across a room with an elastic and
with deadly accuracy.
Consequently, later in the
day, that miserable tattle-tale
was suddenly stung by a shot on
the back of his ear that jetisoned
him two feet off his seat with a
yell of anguish that was heard in
the principal's office.
The delight of seeing the
purplish-red lump rising rapidly
and hearing his screams of rage is
one of my happier memories.
The elastic, which had sent
the missile flying, was safely
hidden in the leg of my
bloomers, and my face was the
picture of angelic innocence as
the teacher tried in vain to find
the guilty party.
Since then, men of varying
ages and sizes have occasionally
tried to cross me. All met with
the dire results of
compensation ... one way or
another.
So Bearded Lion, wait your
turn. No one knows where or
when, but justice will be done!
A TIME OF PLENTY
Heap high the horn of plenty
From summer's bounteous yield.
Come reap the golden harvest
From fruitful tree and field.
Make haste the treasures to gather
From a generous September.
October's bright blue weather
Soon fades to cold November.
Now, the joyous time of plenty
As we fill each mow and bin
And with thankful hearts 7nd
Prayer, the harvest's gathered in.

The Exeter Times-Ad-
vocate is pleased to extend
Birthday Greetings to the
following people:
MRS. MILDRED
LOVIE, Corbett, 85, Oc-
tober 10.
MRS. DORA BERNEY,
Corbett, 82, October 31.
Mrs. Kay Hodgins, Consumer
Consultant with the Department
of Consumer and Corporate
Affairs addressed about 150
South Huron Women's
Institute members when they
met for their annual rally in
Huron Hall at Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology,
Monday.
Mrs. Hodgins, who had wide
experience as a Home Economist
and lecturer before joining the
Federal Department, told her
audience that Consumer and
Corporate Affairs Department
was established in 1968 because
the Canadian Association of
Consumers had convinced the
government there was a need to
have someone in Ottawa to
speak for the consumer.
She said there are two main
things the new department
hoped to do: to create consumer
awareness, and resolve consumer
complaints.
Mrs. Hodgins pointed out
that her department has the
jurisdiction of retail inspection
of weights and measures, and the
inspection of foods and drugs in
dealing with economic fraud,
such as excessive fat in
hamburger or slack fill in
packages of soap and cereals,
etc.
She also made the women
aware that there are inspectors
for jewellery, and fur coats and
suggested to always look and see
if the name of the fur is attached
to the coat they are purchasing.
Minister Ron Bassford is
presently bringing legislation
before the House of Commons
which will instigate
improvement in packaging and
labelling. Mrs. Hodgins stressed
the need for more protection in
the labelling of household
cleaners and showed a chart with
the new symbols of warnings for
products with dangerous
chemical compositions.
However, she pointed out
that legislation does not relieve
parental control and urged
parents to be very carefull of all
household cleaners.
She was also forceful in her
warning against using pottery to
store foods, especially juices
such as apple or orange, and
stated that the acid of these
fruits could leech out the lead
from the glaze or clay and cause
serious and even lethal illness.
Mrs. Hodgins also discussed
textile fibre indentification,
which will become mandatory
shortly; Canadian standard
sizing; more suitable styles in
women's clothing; signing
contracts with door to door
salesmen; and unsolicited mail.
In concluding her address she
emphazised that legislation can't
plug every loop hole, and
shoppers, women in particular,
must be firm in demands with
the retailers and manufacturers.
"We have been taken
advantage of much too long,"
said Mrs. Hodgins, "and we must
learn to take strong stands in
dealing with shoddy
merchandize and hard sell
salesmen."
Miss Mollie McGee, associate
principal, welcomed the ladies to
the College and introduced Mrs.
Hodgins.
Mrs. Delbert Geiger,
president, was chairman for the
event at which the Huron
County scholarship was
presented by Home Economist
Catherine Hunt to Mrs. George
Adams, on behalf of her
daughter, Jean Adams,
Wroxeter, who is a student at
Guelph University.
A bursary was also presented
to the Children's Aid Society for
a deserving young person in its
jurisdiction.
