What this means in practical terms is that ! collect junk. I have souvenirs Of just about everything I have ever done. For example, there is the little 2 cent birch bark canoe, bought by my first "date" on a grade VIII bus trip to Niagara Falls. Then there is the little jacka- the-box that my father gave me years ago for Christmas. And I , can't forget the boxes of 4-H notes, projects and recipes. I suppose this desease has always been part of me, but because of the conscientious efforts of my mother, (she would throw it out as fast I could collect it), it didn't really manifest it- self. Once I left home though, there was no stopping me, I've got three boxes of letters alone, that I keep saying I will go through and throw out everything but the choicest specimens. I've got a scrap book, now overflowing into two good-sized boxes, filled with everything from serviettes to a piece of fool's gold sent by a friend who worked up north for a summer. I've got cards for just about every occasion; birthdays, Valentine's Day; Hallowe'en and graduation, not to mention Christmas cards. I went to a political convention a couple of years ago, and I don't even remember what half of the souvenirs from that pertain to. But am I going to throw them all out? Not a chance! And that's not even half of it, The most precious souvenirs I have are pictures, four albums full. They cover just about everything I have done in the last three years, from my first days at university tothe night I slept on a gravel floor in freezing weather in a hut in the mountains of West Virginia. Actually I don't need anything to remind me vividly of that night, but it helped to con- vince others that I was not exaggerating the conditions. My biggest problem now is what to do with all this stuff, Thus far, it . has moved everyplace I have, for the simple reason that I know if I left it at home, my mother might get into it, and that would be that. There are an awful lot of memories stored up in that junk, and to throw it all away would be like discarding part of my life. Nevertheless, when I look at hoW much I have accumulated in just the last few years, and think like , to get another horse, perhaps A trained English saddle bone. She is also doing all the training of Rio ,the filly, and hopes to show her. In addition to the horses, Mrs. Lowden's interests vary from sewing to gardening. "Right now, I'm just pulling weeds," she said. Both the Lowdens are also very interested in auction sales, They have been "picking up old junk . . .potential antiques" to furnish their house. They have all kinds of ideas for Interior decorating. "We'd like to make it really ranchy," said Mrs. Lowden. Although the Lowdens would have preferred a home a little closer to London, Mrs. Lowden is very happy in Clandeboye, "Everyone is very, very frien- ,eoee dly,"she said, "and Lunn is such Mrs, Kash Lowden a pretty town." malialsitilleaealualemiaitimalalealltianaffieemeelliannsliatanelaliniseassmante Lath Lowden and her husband, Pr. Bruce Lowden just moved lock, stock, two horses and a dog to .Clandeboye from Edmonton, Alberta, Dr. Lowden is in the Air Force and was base surgeon at CF13 Edmonton for a year. Now he is doing a four-year residency in ophthalmology at St. Joseph's Hospital, London. 1)r. Lowden originally comes from Toronto but this is the first time Mrs. Lowden has lived in the East. She is from Victoria, B.C. and met her husband at Jubilee Hospital there, where she was an X-ray technician, and he an in- tern. They were married in the hospital chapel, and lived on Vancouver Island for a year before moving to Edmonton, Now, the Lowdens and their six-month old son Scott have moved to Clandeboye, "We're really looking forward to our four years here," said Mrs, Lowden. One of the reasons is that the Lowdens have lots of room for their two horses, a half Arabian mare and a three-quarter Arabian filly. "It's so terribly should go back to the music of the olden days. Not only was the performance criticized and denounced, but the young people themselves were slandered by people who didn't even know them. I am the first to admit that each person is entitled to their own taste in music. Personally, I enjoyed other parts of the show more than the rock concert, I believe, however, that it would have been only polite to listen to the music, and to try to remember that a number of others were trying to enjoy it, I hope if such a performance is given at future functions, a little more tolerance will be shown, ISRAELI SOUVENIRS Many of the souvenirs purchased by Gwyn Whilsmith while on a tour of Israel were various types of jewelry. In addition to the necklaces, bracelets and earrings, Mrs. Whilsmith is wearing an embroidered blouse bought in Israel. Among her other treasures are delicate, detailed olivewood carvings, and a small dagger for her son. of the potential amount I could gather, it almost scares me, Maybe one of these days I will get up enough nerve to sort out the good junk from the bad junk, and keep only the cream of the Crop. In the meantime, „does anyone know how I can store over 100 greeting cards? + 4- Last week, I attended the Kirkton Garden Party for the first time, and I must say it is something I have never seen equalled in a community that size. The kids put on a great talent show, and it is unfortunate that they couldn't have all been declared winners, The professional show was also very -entertaining, with something to suit just about everyone's taste and temperament: Billy' Meek entertained the older folk with his song and comedy routine as did the barbershop quartette; the juggler held special appeal for the kids; the tumblers and the banjo team were enthusiastically received by all, However, I was quite disap- pointed by the general audience reaction to the rock band featured in the show for the benefit of the young people at- tending. There is little doubt that the group was "out of tune" with the rest of the show. Their heavy rock was definitely not in har- mony with the light en- tertainment provided by the other performers, Their music was on a completely different wave-length, But anyone could see that their dramatic, and at most times fairly well executed show was the result of many, many hours of hard work. That is why I was shocked to see the extent of the lack of regard held for these young people by the audience, At one point in the program, M.C. Lee Paul commented on the restless nature of the audience, but at no point was it more painfully evident than during the rock concert. People were talking back and forth, and a great many got up and left. More than one person was heard to say that we Found Israel to be land of contrast and conflict but no open hostilities visibly upset because of it. "The Arabs are very proud and the Jews are very tough," said Mrs. Whilsmith, The relationship between the Jews and the Christians is rather touchy too, "Christians are not persecuted in any way, but they are not allowed to preach on the street, and certainly not allowed to hand out tracts," said Mrs, Whilsmith. If a Jew converts to the Christian faith, his family often holds a funeral service for him, and he is completely disowned, "Person-to-person, it is the same as anywhere, with anyone, but on the whole, Jews don't think much of Christians," explained Mrs. Whilsmith, They cannot understand why the Christians ALL SUMMER FASHIONS 'peared, and was thought to be beneath the sea, With some digging, however,the city was discovered, just under the sand. The city had escaped ravaging and the ruins were very well preserved. Pontius Pilate had his palace in Caesarea, and when they dug up the old theatre, or arena, a plaque was discovered that had either been dedicated to or by Pilate. The base of the theatre was in such good condition that they have built upon it, and now use it as a summer theatre, Mrs, Whilsmith's whole im- pression of the trip was summed up when she said "I'd love to go back." She thinks she might wait for a year or two, though, and visit Greece and Egypt at the same time, * Dresses * Sweaters * Tops and Blouses * Nightwear * Car Coats and Jackets stood by and let the Jews be persecuted. One of the highlights of the trip for Mrs. Whilsmith was a visit to the Garden Tomb. This is a beautiful garden wherein many people feel Christ was buried. The hill of Golgotha where Christ was crucified, is visible from the garden , The garden was originally a family tomb, but scientists have proved that only one body was ever placed there, "Suddenly you feel you just don't want to talk. It was the only place I really felt I was on holy ground," she said. Another highlight of the trip was a tour of the city of Caesarea. This is a city on the Mediterranean which, at one time, had completely disap- Boyle's Ladies' Wear MAIN ST.

Debbie Flynn, ac- companied on the piano by her mother, entertained with a step dance number, Thirty residents having July birthdays were honored at a party Wednesday afternoon sponsored by the Hensall Women's Institute. Mrs. J. McAllister, past president in- troduced the program. Sam Rennie sang two solos and led the sing-song accompanied at the piano by Greta Lammie. Other numbers on the program included a piano duet by Bart and Tanda Visscher, a dance by Tanda, and violin selections by Frank Forrest accompanied by Mary Broadfoot. Following the program gifts were presented to the celebrants and lunch was served to about 150 residents and guests. Cassie Dougall, a former member of the Hensall W.I. thanked those reponsible for the party on behalf of the residents. The Wingham Salvation Army Band with bandsmen from Listowel and Windsor directed by Capt. Cameron played for a concert on the lawn Family Night, "The thing that impresses you most is the many contrasts in the land and in the people." This was Mrs. Gwyn Whilsmith's major impression of Israel following a two-week visit there. Mrs. Whilsmith was one of over 350 delegates from Europe, USA, Canada, India, Latin America, Japan and the Islands of the Caribbean attending the World Christian Ashram Congress in Jerusalem. The contrast of the old and the new, the lush vegetation and the barren wasteland, is one of the first things you notice, she said. She described the rocky, desolate road to Jericho, and contrasted it with the tremen- dously lush land in other parts of the country, where such tropical crops as oranges, cotton, bananas, dates and melons are cultivated. The city of Jerusalem in itself is full of contrasts, On one side is the walled city of old Jerusalem, over 5000 years old, with little or no sanitation, narrow streets winding throughout which can only be navigated on foot; and on the other side are modern shopping plazas, sky-scrapers, and one of the most modern hospitals in the world. She said it was not at all unusual to see a veiled, traditionally dressed grand- mother walking up the street with her mini-skirted granddaughter. Often, she said, you would see heavily-laden donkeys and limousines on the same street, As far as the land is concerned, "You have to hand it to them (Israelis), They're using every little plot of ground. Some plots are so small, they are cultivated by very primitive means and instruments. In other places, there are very large fields with the most modern equipment," she explained. Another aspect of life in Israel which impressed Mrs. Whilsmith is the role of youth. "Young people have a tremendous responsibility in that country," she said. Both boys and girls are conscripted at a very early age, both to serve and fight in the army. The army also serves as the police force, and it was not uncommon to see a young girl directing traffic in Jerusalem. Mrs. Whilsmith also found everyone very conscious of the differences between the Arabs and the Jews. "It's such a tricky situation . . . very complex," said Mrs. Whilsmith, She ex- plained that the Arabs who lived in Palestine before the war have all the responsibilities and privileges of Jewish citizens, while the Arabs in the occupied part of the city do not, "We never saw any animosity or hostility between them," she said. "They seemed to get along very well and have a good working relationship," She cited an example of an Arab, however, who was mistaken for a Jew, and he was Let Us Hear From You!
