Met a friend in the local gift store the other day. Her brow was deeply furrowed. "What's the matter?" I inquired. "I'm trying to buy a wedding gift," she explained. The display in the store was wonderful and choosing a gift from such an array should have been easy but, like many of us in to-day's affluent society, my friend was stymied. What do you buy for a couple who seem to have everything? Most of us harbour the hope that our gift will be distinctive, yet useful in either a functional way or as a piece of decoration in the new home, It becomes more and more difficult to make a decision. Another friend, faced with several weddings lately, has given up and resorted to sending a cheque. She admits it's not exactly what she likes to do but feels it's easier on everyone if the newly-weds choose something they want or need rather than her spending fruitless hours sear- ching for a suitable present which they may already have or which may not match their decor. I used to liketo think that a gift I chose would be something the couple would cherish for the next fifty years...mainly because I still get a good deal of pleasure looking over my own wedding gifts and remembering who gave them to us. And, of course, my mother and father's wedding presents, not to mention the few we have of our grandparents, are priceless. However, times change and we live a new age of practicality. After speaking to several who were on the purchasing end, I MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR is a new feature being offered by The Exeter Times-Advocate to introduce ladies who have recently moved into our community. The success of it will depend mainly on you, the readers. If you know of someone who has come here from another area within recent weeks we would be happy if you would contact the office. Phone 235-1331. Agnes and Peter Aungercame here about a month ago when they moved into the house, for- merly owned by David Cross on Hillcrest Avenue. Peter is one of the new SHDHS staff members and teaches chemistry and physics. There are three children in the family: Joel, seven, and in Grade I, and two little blonde girls, Michelle, four, and Monique, two. Moving from Owen Sound from MRS, AGNES AUNGER a five year teaching position the Aungers "came to Exeter by choice." Both like outdoor sports especially skating, golf, walking and skiing. Agnes is a nurse who says, when her family is a little more grown,she would like to be in- volved in some kind of com- munity volunteer work, Mr, and Mrs. Aunger are members of the United Church. * * * Mrs. Joan Ball recently moved to Exeter with her husband, turned my attention to the newly- weds themselves or those about to be married. "What kind of gift do you like best?" I asked. "Money or practical gifts . necessary things like tea kettles, fry pans, irons, dish- washers, kitchen sets and so forth." The girls thought sheets, towels and pillow cases were good but one admitted she hardly needed the 22 pair of pillow cases she and her new husband ended up with. Another said the only things she had to go out and buy for her new home was a broom and drain board...everything else had been supplied by families and friends. One young man was emphatic, "I'd sooner receive a small, inexpensive gift of quality than a big expensive piece of junk. I like practical gifts that require no taste...not because I think the giver doesn't have any taste but, because it's just different from mine. We got two Venetian glass birds and six huge glass ash trays that sprout out in every direc- tion.,.who can use them?" Another young man who will be married in a few days and who is now on the receiving end of wedding and shower gifts was ecstatic about the whole thing. "What will you do with all the loot?" I asked knowing he and his wife-to-be will move into a small apartment. "Store some of it, I guess," he answered. "Will you exchange, the duplicate gifts?" "No, no, we wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings." Other couples felt differently. "Sure, we exchanged some of the Michael and three small children, Allison, seven, Julien, ,four, and Sandra, two. Mr. Ball is an engineer em- ployed by Bell Aerospace Canada at Grand Bend. Both are natives of England but lived five years in Montreal before coming here. Mrs. Ball, an attractive blue- eyed blonde, says she finds her MRS. JOAN BALL home on Pryde Boulevard quiet mainly because their home in Montreal was near a busy airport and also because she hasn't made many friends yet. She prefers small town life to that of the city but is happy because London is so accessible. Sewing and reading are two of her hobbies. Both she and her husband enjoy badminton and hope there'll be a club for them to join this winter. Joan may be introducing a new game to this community. It's called Mah Jongg, is Chinese in origin, and is played en- thusiastically in many parts of the world. Four or five persons can play and if you know the game or would like to learn Mrs. Ball would be glad to hear from you. Xi Gamma Nu meets XI Gamma Nu Chapter opened the seasons activities with a meeting at the home of Mrs. William Schaefer, Kirkton. Various committees were drawn up and plans made for the coming year, Mrs. Ron Bogart assisted the hostess. presents. Who needs four tea kettles, three fondue pots or two toasters. We think the friends who gave the gifts to us would rather we exchanged them for something we need than store them away." Two girls said they gave some of their duplicate gifts away as Christmas presents, Many people, both those receiving and giving, felt the amount of money spent on gifts, especially shower gifts was getting out of hand. "It's becoming more and more ridiculous,", said one. "What we used to pay for wedding gift five years ago we now spend on a shower gift, and worse still, we're often expected to attend more than one shower for the bride." "I really resent that," said another, "and I just don't accept more than one shower invitation per bride," Most of the fellows felt that stag parties were fine...the money did come in handy. Several thought when gifts of money were received the couple should spend it on something they could show to the giver, such as a piece of furniture. All this was very enlightening to an old duffer like me and there's no doubt about it I'm going to change my point of view. But I can't help wondering when the tea kettle and fry pans and T.V. sets have all ended up on the junk heap what our sophicated newly-weds will have to remind them of that very special day long ago. Still, like I said, "It's a new age. " Guest speaker at the Exeter District Christian Women's Club noon luncheon at Trivitt Memorial Parish Hall, Sep- tember 30, will be Mrs. MRS. LIEUT. COLONEL D.
