JUST THE THING — for after snowmobiling or skiing is this bubbling pot of Cheese Fondue. Fondues
are great for informal entertaining because everybody helps themselves.

Last week a rollicking tune
emitting from the radio began to
tickle my memory bank.
Something back in the distant
past started to bubble and brew
and strive to rise to the surface.
"Where have I heard that tune
before? What on earth does it
remind me of?"
Like thunder it struck. Of
course „ . "Cecil and Sally", a
radio program I'd listened to as a
little girl, The tune was
'Canadian Capers', the theme
song.
Heavens, how long ago was it
since I'd hurried in from the
horse-drawn school van to sit
glued by the radio in our prairie
farm home to hear my favorite
programs.
First of all, there was Little
Orphan Annie, whose misad-
ventures thrilled me for 15
minutes every day, Looking
back, I think that goggle-eyed
youngster had to be the dumbest
kid in history. Her millionaire
Daddy Warbucks always arrived
just in the nick of time to rescue
her from some sensational
escapade, But he would no sooner
have turned his back to be off on
one of his mystery missions in an
unknown part of the world when
that stupid girl would get herself
involved with some more no-
good, wild characters.
How patient Daddy Warbucks
continued to put up with her
nonsense is more than I can
understand now, but to an eight-
year-old girl, living in an isolated
part of Saskatchewan, Little
Orphan Annie and the other radio
serials brought excitement that
dispelled any thought of
boredom.
Following Annie, Jack Arm-
strong, the All . 11 , 11
Amer , .er . , ican Boy, streaked
in over the airways, He got his
super strength from eating
Wheaties. We could never afford
'bought cereal' and it was years
after I had my first bowlful of
Wheaties only to have another
childish dream go down the
drain . . it tasted like sawdust.
After Jack, Canadian Capers
heralded in Cecil and Sally . , . a
story about young romance
between a couple of neighborhood
kids. They continually spat and
made up and finally got married
to continue to spat and make-up.
Since we lacked electricity, our
radio set was operated by
batteries. It could have been a
catastrophe of the worst kind
when the big black battery
conked out but my Dad was a
genius not to be phased by a
problem as simple as that!
He whittled (from wood) a
specially designed fan, which he
somehow attached to a
generator. It was put on a
standard and set up on the
granery roof with a tail that
turned it into the wind, Two wires
were connected from the
generator to the battery below to
juice it up and give us many more
happy, listening hours. I tell you,
I knew my Dad was a miracle
worker.
In those days, listening to radio
was a passion I don't think is
surpassed by TV viewing to-day.
But not only did it bring en-
tertainment, it shut out the hard
times of the depression . . . the
dust, the wind, the poverty and
the frustrations of all ages.
Day-time serials (washday
weepers) were to the average
housewife more like a telephone
party-line conversation than they
were radio programs. The
problems, heartbreaks and
triumphs of Ma Perkins, Young
Doctor Brent, Big Sister, Pepper
Young's Family were real and
were discussed seriously at
quilting and other get-togethers.
Night time, the air resounded
with chuckles and down right
belly laughs at the antics of
characters like Amos and Andy,
and Fibber McGee and Molly.
(We always knew what was going
to happen when Fibber opened
that closet door but it never failed
to make us laugh when the
avalanche descended upon him.)
There was Duffy's Tavern,
Jack Benny and Mary
Livingston, George Burns and
Gracie Allen, and Lum and Abner
to clown it up and make us forget
our blues,
I was always glad when winter
closed the Sunday evening
church services and we could
stay home and listen to the 'Eddie
Cantor Hour' which was followed
by the Chase and Sanborne Hour
with Edgar Bergen, Charlie
McCarthy, Dorothy Lamour,
Nelson Eddy and Don Ameche.
Other nights were filled with
lilting tunes of Bing Crosby on the
Kraft Music Hour, Guy Lom-
bardo and His Royal Canadians,
Fred Waring and His Pen-
sylvanians and by vocalists like
Dick Powell, John Charles
Thomas, Lily Pons, Kate Smith
and dozens of others,
Who could forget the dramas
and comedies produced by Cecil
B. Demille on the Lux Radio
Theatre with stars James
Cagney, Errol Flynn, Claudette
Colbert, Betty Davis and hun-
dreds of others?
These romantic, glamorous
people held even a little girl
spellbound and carried her away
from the sound of the incessant
whine of the wind that lashed
against the house and the
bleakness and boredom of
depression-trapped days that
could offer few other pleasures.
They transported her into
wonderful worlds of fantasy and
made her dream and dream and
dream,
Which perhaps explains why
I'm not so tough on my own bairn
when they want to eat off TV
trays while watching their
favorite shows, Yet it seems to
me the fare they get dished up to
them on the bloob-tube is a far
cry from the programs that were
offered to us in the days when
radio was at its height.
But, then again, maybe it's just
old age creeping up.

neighbour
Carol Roeda a native of
Grand Rapids, Michigan, arrived
in Exeter in October when her
husband, Jack, took over the
pastorate of Exeter's Christian
Reformed Church.
In November, a bouncing baby
boy, Mark arrived on the scene,
then came Christmas and visits
from families so Carol is just now
catching her breath and settling
into the experience of living in a
small town for the first time in
her life.
"It's wonderful," she says. "I
can't get over going to the store,
having people recognize me and
call me by name. 'Several per-
sons, after seeing the baby's birth
announcement ask me how he's
doing. I find it so unexpected that
I'm almost overwhelmed."
The Roeda's think they've
moved into a great part of the
country. "There's Stratford for
culture and London for good
schools and university."
Both of these aspects interest
Carol especially since she
belonged to a college drama
group and enjoys live theatre,
and since she also hopes to go
back to university some day and
get her masters degree.
She has a B.A from Calvin
College, Grand Rapids, and her
chosen field of work is with
retarded children,
MRS. CAROL ROEDA
After college she did graduate
work at Michigan State
University and worked on an
experimental program with
educable retardates. Her eyes
spark with enthusiasm as she
discusses the success of the
project, She has also taught arts
and crafts to a special class of
retarded children,
"When the baby is older I hope
to go back to this work, perhaps
on a voluntary basis," she states.
Her home on Pryde Boulevard
is artistically decorated with oil
paintings, a few antiques and
interesting items she and her
husband picked up during an
extensive trip to Europe.
Carol loves handcrafts and is
excited about starting to learn
the art of macrame in an Exeter
class this winter.
The Reed'as have been married
three years.
