Before I had my family I knew exactly what everybody else was doing wrong in the rearing of their children. I was obnoxiously vocal about kids' misdemeanors and always ended with a loud and clear statement that no child of mine would ever get away with that, etc, etc, etc. What I know now, but didn't know then, was that out there in one of those Satanic principalities St. Paul speaks of in the Bible, my personal devils had their pointed little ears tuned into my every word. Everytime I came out with one of these ridiculous excoriations they rubbed their hands gleefully, dug each other in the ribs and chortled merrily, "We'll cook her goose!" And cook it they have...several times...to charcoal, even. MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR is a new feature being offered by The Exeter Times-Advocate to introduce new ladies who have moved into our community. The success of it will depend mainly on you, the readers. If you know of someone who has recently come here from another area we would be happy if you would contact the office. Phone 235-1331. Two ladies who recently moved to town with their families are Mrs. Sharon O'Toole and Mrs. Shirley Ross. Pert and pretty Sharon O'Toole came here with her husband, Jim, from Kempville where he was on staff at the Agricultural College. Mr. O'Toole is now head of the agronomy division at Centralia College of Agriculture. The O'Tooles were on the lookout for an old home when they went house-hunting in Exeter and settled happily with the former James Street United Church manse on Albert Street. They are excited about 're- doing' it but have decided to renovate only the kitchen for the present and live in the house MRS. SHARON O'TOOLE awhile and 'debate what to do next'. "We love the town already," Sharon says enthuusiastically. "The people are friendly, and the parks, schools and stores are marvellous." Swimming in Lake Huron 'has been a delight' since there was no place they could take their children bathing at their former horn e. The children consist of two lively little ones: Greg., aged three, and Patty, 14 months. Both Jim and Sharon O'Toole are avid curlers and snowmobile enthusiasts. They are Roman Catholic and attend St. Peter's Church. Sharon sews for herself and the You maybe thought that wide mouth of mine was due to genes I inherited .,.not so. It's just been stretched that way from my foot being in it so much the past 20- odd years. Somehow or other our children didn't quite turn out to be the innocent, obedient, little lambs we envisioned. Instead, they developed into normal know-it-all rascals who have their parents in hot water so much we look like we're in a perpetual blush Take the latest for instance, I've always been death against motorcycles...vehicles of the devil, I proclaimed. "Death machines...should be outlawed...disgraceful noisy contraptions." When our son-in-law ventured that he was thinking of buying one a couple of years ago I threatened to take my daughter back. "No kin of mine will ever children but at the moment is busy constructing yards of curtains for the many windows in the big house. A former elementary school teacher, she says she has no plans to return to that profession for a few years yet. + + + Shirley Ross is the wife of Lloyd Ross, recently appointed manager of Maple Leaf Mills Limited in Exeter. The family moved from Dresden during the summer and like the O'Tooles are impressed with the area. For them, too, swimming in clear, clean Lake MRS. SHIRLEY ROSS Huron was a special treat. ''The have three children: Tim 15, in Grade X; Mary Ellen, 13, in Grade IX, and Laurie who is nine and in Grade IV. Auburn haired and blue eyed, Mrs. Ross comes through as a friendly, happy woman, who over a cup of coffee said, "I'm an ordinary homemaker who likes to do the typical things like sewing and looking after my family." She and her husband and son,Tim, enjoy golf and the whole family are avid hockey and ball fans. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ross are enthusiastic United Church people and filled in many capacities in their church in Dresden. Unlike the O'Tooles they moved into a nearly-new residence which they purchased from Allan Taylor on Churchill Drive. "We are really pleased with the house," said Mrs. Ross, "We built our own home in Dresden and hated to leave it but we find this house has features our other house didn't have." Shirley says she hasn't had much opportunity to meet man!' Exeterites yet but is looking forward to making friends and settling into the community. With her pleasant, easy manner she should have no trouble. ride one of those murder machines," I thundered so the whole country could hear me. "Parents who allow their kids to buy those dangerous con- trivances have got to be out of their minds," (The devils held their sides as they rolled over in fiendish laughter.) That black and red blur streaking past your house is my son on his motor bike. He started the attack late last winter. No way, we told him. He kept it up but, oh my, we were firm. Forget it, we said. He hung in there and then one fateful day he announced triumphantly that his best friend had purchased a bike with the full consent of his parents. I felt the foundations of my resolve crumbling, (Must tell you here that his friend is one of the nicest kids we know and a credit to his parents' up- bringing.) The heat was on...never, for one minute, did he give us any peace. Finally, we made a deal. "Go north and work for the summer; keep your socks pulled up, your nose clean, save your money and we'll talk about it when you get back." He came home late in August clutching his money in his hot little mitt and the next day he was the owner of a motorcycle. I had braced myself for the event all summer, "Have to be philosophical, have to remain calm, rational and relaxed about the whole thing." Philosophy is a marvellous thing. I am very philosphic as I view his filthy hands with oil and grease deeply embedded in his finger nails; I am even more philosophic as I grit my teeth over the layer of the same stuff that soaks into his jeans and shirts and refuses to budge even though the ad man on TV assures me his product just swishes it away. You never believe how relaxed I am as I lay ramrod stiff in my bed at night waiting for the sound of his motor to come down the street, especially after reading of an accident in that day's newspaper. I remain rational (well,almost) when he tells how much a tune-up costs and what he will spend on repairs. When he came home from his first long trip and recounted how he and his buddy, riding behind, had 'wiped out' (had an accident) on a busy, rushing thoroughfare I kept so calm I almost fainted, Laugh.you devils, laugh. See if I'll open my big mouth again. Tells vivid story of life in prison Sunday Morning at Trivitt Memorial Church, Kenneth Anderson gave a vivid account of his work as a chaplain in the Ontario Reformatory in Guelph. Almost all the prisoners in the institution, said Mr. Anderson, were there primarily as the result of alcohol or drug ad- diction, often both. The alcoholics outnumbered the drug addicts by five to one. Very few of the inmates had ever known what it was to attend Sunday SChool or Church, some were drop-outs from Grade I in Public School. He said the chaplains seek to break down barriers cf distrust by playing games with the in- mates, and by treating them as human beings, as souls for whom Christ died rather than as the scum of the earth. Church ser- vices in the prison chapel presented special difficulties; when the congregation did not agree with the sermon feet would be stamped, or the men would shout derisive remarks. Kenneth has now returned to Huron College to continue his studies for the Christian ministry. During the service the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Peter Connon, sang, David Elston presided at the organ. Patricia Connon sang 'Kum ba yah, my Lord'. Lessons from the Bible were read by Jean Luxton and Lorraine Doige. Sunday School awards by Trent Doige, Sunday School Super- tendent.: nursery, Andrea Doige, Matthew Connon, Mark Christie, John Wooden, Pattie Dobbs, Bobbie Sims, Bill Allison, Michelle Allison; class I, Janie Sims, Danny Luxton; class II, Stephen Wells, Douglas Luxton; class HI, Jo-Anne Luxton, Cathy Wooden; class IV, Jean Luxton, Lorraine Doige; class V, Diane Susan Wooden, who will not be teaching this season, was presented with a pin in recognition of her work as a Sunday School teacher, The officers of the ladies division of Exeter Fall Fairare pleased to announce the addition of several interesting displays and demonstrations at our fair this year. Mrs. Moira Couper, of Hensall, will be demonstrating the ancient art of spinning; Marie Womat from Kitchener will have a display of looming and Mrs. Gladys Lawrence of Dresden will be doing portraits in colored chalk on Saturday. Macrame-, the craft that is reaching ever increasing popularity will be demonstrated throughout fair day by Mrs. Kaaren Batten and Dolores and Gail Fuller. Also of interest to fair patrons this year will be the widely ac- claimed display of Vic Jeffery's brass bells. The fair association has had wonderful support from mem- bers of the two Sorority Chapters, the Kinettes and the Women's Institutes. Their help is greatly appreciated and can only make our fair one of the best. Prize money in the canning and quilting section has been in- creased and we look forward to even more entries than in the past. The flower committee have had Mrs. Bev. Skinner, president of the ladies division of the Exeter Fair Board. wonderful displays in other years and we feel even better results will be attained this year with the favorable weather conditions for the flower growers. The success of our fall fair depends on many persons..,the workers, the exhibitors and the viewers, We solicit everyone's 'nterest. ageA ITO eted Those being wished Happy Birthday in the Over 80 column this week are MRS.
