You Can Greet Spring With A Smile When
You Install The Medallion 100
'71
Best way I know to get
educated in a hurry is to attend
public speaking contests, at the
schools,
Recently, I was at two of
these sessions and came away a
wiser and smarter person from
all the knowledge I picked up
from the kids.
It's amazing to see where
their interests lie, and the
topics they chose covered
everything from cats, dogs and
horses to pollution and drug
addiction; from hockey stars
Hull, Orr and Howe to historical
figures like Father Lacomb and
the Black Donnellys; from figure
skating and leather craft and
airplanes to the care of your
skin, and family life.
It takes a lot of courage to
give a speech, especially if it's
your first one and as one of the
judges said last week "everyone
was a winner" for having made
the effort,
It also takes a herculean spirit
to be a judge.
Years ago, I tried to
adjudicate but found I just
didn't have what it takes to
choose only three winners from
a battery of bright-eyed, brave
kids who stand up and master
themselves in front of an
audience.
Luncheon planned
by Trivitt ACW
The ACW held the February
meeting in the Parish Hall after
the Ash Wednesday service.
Business was conducted by the
president, Mrs. Ann Doidge,
reports were given by various
committees. Appeals were made
for good used clothing to be sent
to missions and also new
children's clothing for the bale in
London.
The executive was appointed
to look into a meal "Luncheon is
served" to be held either in March
or April. Plans were made for the
World's Day of Prayer.
The ACW served the senior
citizens at their Tuesday evening
meeting.
I wanted to give them all
prizes!
But, of course, I'm a terrible
coward,
And this cowardice never
shows up more than when one
of my own precious offspring is
performing in front of an
audience. While other moms sit
there looking serene, relaxed and
cool, I am reduced to a shaking
mass of miserable motherhood,
suffering hot and cold flashes,
fuzzy hearing, trembling limbs
and sweaty palms.
My stomach feels like a
windmill being torn apart by a
90 mile gale and I continually
fidgit to find some way my legs
and arms will be conlfortable.
Marie Antoinette couldn't
have been more upset waiting
for the guillotine.
So far, I've been unable
to psychoanalyze this
uncontrollable panic but I know
it's an ordeal I'm glad I don't
have to suffer very often.
I've been lucky lately. The
older children are almost past
performing in public so things
have been peaceful for me.
Until this year.
Our youngest, after several
proddings from his dad,
reluctantly decided to "say his
speech in the gym."
Immediately, I began to lose
my appetite.
The morning of the
preliminaries I tried to hide my
panic and be my usual
controlled self.
But the little guy was having
trouble swallowing his porridge.
"I'm awful nervous, Mom,"
he said.
"Nervous?" I retorted, as I
poured the milk into the sugar
bowl, and stirred my coffee with
the butter knife, "what in the
world is there to be nervous
about?"
"I'm scared," he confessed
pushing away his plate.
"For goodness sakes don't be
silly," I said knocking over the
orange juice. "Eat up your
breakfast and don't let the
fumbs crall into your milk," I
demanded sternly.
He looked at me suspiciously.
"What are you so excited
about?"
"Me? . . . excited? What
nonsense. But, by the way, do
you think you'd be less nervous
if I didn't show up at the school,
this morning? I asked hopefully.
After careful deliberation he
decided I'd better be there, and
left after extracting a promise
that I would indeed show up to
cheer him on.
Because the phone kept
ringing I arrived late to find the
gym doors closed and a speaker
already in progress. Opening the
door a crack so I could tell when
I could safely slip in between
speakers I was stunned to see my
child up on the stage and already
half way through his talk.
What to do! This is a boy
who holds you to your word
with a seriousness you wouldn't
believe.
I had the choice of staying
outside the door until he
finished and being branded a
liar and a breaker of promises;
or enter and take the chance of
throwing him off his guard and
make him muff his speech.
For two or three seconds I
wavered. Then I opened the
door and walked in. All heads
turned.
My eyes and his met and he
began to falter.
"Hang in there, Son," I
prayed, you can do it."
For what seemed a long, long
moment he hesitated .. . then
with a deep breath and a big
gulp, he picked up his stride and
carried on.
"Way to go there, Boy."
Maybe I'll be the mother of a
prime minister, yet.
On second thought, my
nerves couldn't stand it!
CAS director

Bruce Heath, Goderich,
director of the Children's Aid
Society was the guest speaker

Sunday by the Contemporarys
from Sarnia, were sung.
Mrs. John Taylor, Mrs. Bev
Skinner and Mrs. Winston

FABRI CA RE — is an Extra Rinse for Extra Care.
Active sportswear usually needs big scrubbing
action — with extra detergent. And a thorough
rinse. That's why CGE designed Extra Rinse, a
deep-rinse cycle at your command to help
remove every trace of detergent and soap. When
stretch terry togs go out to play again, they are a
bright-looking lot.
No job istoo small for the Medallion 100, with its
exclusive Mini-Wash cycle. A mini bikini gets a
little dip in the Mini-Basket. Six combinations of
wash-rinse temperatures with infinite water
levels give the right wash every time. With bleach
too.
There's no guessing in this laundry game. The
matching dryer has an Automatic Dry Control
that "knows" when clothes are ready and stops
itself. Crimp knits dry soft and comfy. And a
Permanent Press squall Jacket is ready for smooth
sailing again. That's FABRI CARE— that's extra
care.

TASTY DINNERS FOR MEALS ON WHEELS are dished up at South Huron District Hospital for six
elderly people in Exeter by Mrs. Verne Smith and Mrs. Morley Philips. A project of Exeter United
Church, Meals on Wheels is into its third week and working well. T-A photo
A group of district church
women are meeting next week in
the hope of forming a local
chapter of Christian Women's
Council.
This organization, which is a
branch of the Christian Business
and Professional Women's Club,
was founded in the United States
several years ago by Mrs. Helen
Baugh and Mary E. Clarke in
order to bring women of all
denominations together, in
spiritual fellowship and, in
Christian women to organize
concerned out-reach to those
outside the church.
Canada now boasts
twenty-two of these active and
dedicated clubs in Ottawa,
Toronto, Bfampton, Sarnia,
Chatham and London, as well as
several in other provinces.
In order to gauge the potential
of such a club in the Exeter
district a share and prayer brunch
will be held in Trivitt Anglican
Church hall, March 11, from 9:30
to 11:30 under the leadership of
Mrs. Art Whilsmith of the
Presbyterian Church.
Others on the executive
include Mrs. George A. Anderson,
Anglican Church; Mrs. Morley
Hall, Pentecostal Church; Mrs.
William Marshall, Exeter United
Church; Mrs. E. R. Luther,
Hensall, Salvation Army, and
Mrs. Douglas Warren, Crediton
United Church.
All interested women of the
area are invited to attend.
