The affirmative of the second debate on Women's Liberation was presented by Mrs.Norman Amos, in the absence of Mrs, Joe Wooden, while Mrs. Bill Essery gave the negative side.

Tuesday night, the group travelled to London to attend Opening Night of the National Ballet Company which presented Giselle at the London Little Theatre. Out on the ramp the fashion show moved smoothly and .professionally. The student. models of the Home Economics department of Centralia College of Agricultural Technology walked with professional grace and finesse to show to full -house audiences at the College's Open House last week the results of this year's textile and fashion classes,. But, the measured, graceftfl steps of the models quickly changed to a flying, frantic run once they were out of the view of themec tators. With only minutes to switch outfits, many of the girls made several changes in record time to appear once more on the ramp, completely unruffled, and as if they had all the time in the world. The clothes of Fling. '71, the name of the show, were smart, classy and modern. It had the mini, midi, maxi, rniXi look and also featured the newest rage, daring hot pants, knickers, and the still popular pant suits. Starting with sleep-wear, the students presented costumes for every hour of the day and ended the show with a simple but romatically styled bridal ensemble complete with attendants in green and mauve satin. For added variety, this year the show added male models wearing the bright, colorful plumage young men are sporting this year. College queen, Libby Randolph, closed the show wearing a full length pale blue peau de sole gown with ruffled top and simply gathered skirt. The success of the fashion show is largely due to the work of the producer, Barbara Dougall, a senior student, and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Harry Dougall, RI13, Exeter. Miss Dougall had the added honor of being the first winner of the plaque for proficiency in textiles and fashion which was presented to the school by the South Huron District Women's Institute earlier this year. The winner of the proficiency plaque in food nutrition was awarded to Ida Ann Verkuyl of Woodstock. BEHIND THE SCENES it was hurry, hurry, hurry, as the Home Economic department of CCAT presented their annual fashion show at Open House. Here, Jackie Stenhouse, first year student from Waterloo, gives a quick flip to her hair before she goes out on the ramp. T-A photo By CHERYL PURDEY A friendly new face in Exeter is that of Carol Cleland, a registered nurse at South Huron Hospital. She's from Australia, and judging by the way she smiles, she likes Canada very much. "Everyone's so friendly here," she said. She finds the people are basically the same as they are down under, but the weather sure is different! They don't get snow at all in Melbourne, her home town, but she's loving her first winter here. "I love the crisp feeling in the air." After the big storm a feiv weeks ago that crippled southwestern Ontario, she ran around with her camera, taking pictures of the snowbanks and' the snow-covered cars. People laughed at her antics, but later The fourth Huron-Perth Presbyterial Annual meeting of the UCW was held in Mitchell, February 17, 1971.

A medley of gospel hymns on the violins Was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Harold Babensee asked, rather sheepishly, "If your photos are really good can I have a few?" Working at the hospital the night of the storm, she couldn't resist phoning home to Australia to tell them about the wild blizzard. Her mother cautioned her not to use her car in such bad weather. "Little did she know that I couldn't even see my car at that point," laughed Carol. After working for a while, she decided, like so many young people today, to travel and see a bit of the world. Most of her friends went to London, England, but Carol decided to be different and chose Canada. Arriving in Sarnia, where she had friends, she hoped to find work in a hospital there. But like many places in Canada these days, there were no jobs available. She began writing around for a job and eventually landed one in introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. E. Egilsson of Woodstock, President of the London Conference UCW. She said that Canada is in a definite period of transition and it is easy to lose sight of basic values. It is our Christian responsibility she said to retain the values that are useful. The UCW's have to be more flexible in their programs, and Must try to fill the needs of the women in the churches. The offering was taken and dedicated by the Monkton UCW, Mrs. E. Egilsson presided for the election and installation of officers. The closing worship was conducted by the Ontario Street Clinton UCW.
