Winter boots are left packed away until the first snowfall, when there is a mad rush to try to remember where they are and whose rubbers still fit who. It is odd, but in spite of all the preparations made for the fall fairs, and the indications from Mother Nature that it is time for a change, autumn goes relatively unnoticed, People are too busy gleaning the last remnants of summer, and readying them- selves for the seige of winter to take note of the many things going on around them, It is as if the autumn lacks any major characteristics of its own. In this respect, it differs from all the other seasons of the year. Winter, for example, is a complete separate entity from the ,rest of the year. It has a mixture of symbols, some pleasant to think about such as snowmen, softly lit pine trees, crackling crisp snow underfoot, and some not so pleasant - runny noses, cars that won't start, soggy socks and mitts draped all over the house to dry out, Then comes spring, and once you get through the final surprise snow fall and the mud, you see the first crocus, showing itself hesitantly in the watery sunshine, winter coats and scarves packed away for another year, and the • flower show.

Mrs, Case Zeehuisen, Exeter, has been a contender in the flower show for some time and this year won top honors with seven first prizes. Close behind her was Mrs. Roy Pepper, also of Exeter, won five firsts in the past three years, and Mrs. McLaren taking top honors in 1969, In addition to the regular competition, Mrs., Weigand took top prizes in two special sections: the William Neilson Special for .chocolate cake and the J.M.

In the past few weeks, I have attended three fall fairs, and if I needed anything to persuade me that summer was finally over, it was these fairs. There is something about a fair, no matter what size, or what the weather, that announces in banner headlines that fall is here. Maybe it is just the smell of candy floss and candied apples, or maybe it is the sight of people lining up to buy a cup of hot coffee, and then to see them holding it in both hands to try to warm that part of them before they drink it to warm the inside. But it is much more than that. When you see all the displays of the summer's harvest, you can't help but know that autumn is here. Over in the barns, the 4- ll'ersline up with their groomed calves and parade around the ring, displaying all the work that they have put in during the summer, In the display areas, there are all the sheaves of grain, which prove that there were good results from the harvest, in spite of the sometimes uncooperative weather. Then there are the vegetables - the multi-colored and multi-shaped objects which will end up on someone's table for Sunday dinner, or in a freezer for a future dinner. The pumpkins sit there, knowing that their fate will be to shine the way for spooks and goblins on Hallowe'en, and the flowers are displayed in one last blaze of glory, most to fade out until the spring releases them again, And who could forget the baking? Rows upon rows of fresh fruit pies, and preserves of jam, jellies and pickles - all which signify the end of the summer and preparation for the long winter months ahead. But r think the thing that convinces me most that fall is here is the people, and their seeming disregard for its presence. They go to all lengths to ignore the fall, and to persuade them- selves. that summer is 'not yet spent. It is a curious '''ZI.IreeleMMWAMIIMIMERMARMSIMUNVZST • Ballet Registration AT By MRS.

Tom Atthill of Kitchener spent the weekend with his mother, Mrs. Dan Jarvis. South Huron District High School first baseball game. Then it is summer, -the season of freedom, with holidays from school, hikes through imaginary jungle swamps, and barbecues out on the patio, But now fall is here, and it is like the season that never was. It can't be that people aren't in some measure looking forward to the winter, because if anyone ever goes south, the remark you repeatedly hear is that they missed the snow. It can't be that they are totally reluctant to see the summer pass, because by the end of August, most people have expended all the energy they had stored up for summer. So it must be the simple fact that more than any other season, autumn marks the passage of time, It means the end of another harvest, and the culmination of many months worth of work in preparation for the winter. It means that kids are going back to school. Some are leaving for other schools and other towns and cities, My sister, for example, has gone to Toronto to continue her education. For her, it is the beginning,notthe end of a new life, but for my parents, it means that two out of their three children have become just weekend visitors. But whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, we have crossed the finish line of another summer. And if you still don't believe it, all you have to do is listen to that ever present hearer of tidings - the weatherman! • f is Susan R won crown THIRD YEAR WINNE Weigand, Dashwood, presenting the T-A Editor, ".••••••Maa..

Diane Rimmer is relatively new to both Exeter and Canada, and likes both very much. She and her husband Alan and their seven and a half month old son, Darren, have more or less been on the move for the last year or so. They lived in Mississauga for a few months, then moved to London, when Mr. Rimmer was transferred in his job with Hallmark Cards. "But prices were outrageous there," said Diane, "so we started looking around for something else, and ended up in Exeter", Mr. Rimmer is a marketing representative for Hallmark and manages the Hallmark product in an area extending from Walkterton to St Thomas. We're really happy with Exeter," said Diane. "It's a nice little town, but it does take some getting used to." The reason is that Diane has never lived in a small town before. She was born in New Jersey, but lived most of her life in upstate New York, about 20 miles from New York City. Her husband is originally from Toronto, and they met when both were attending Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. "I usually get looks of sym- pathy when I say I lived near New York," she said, "but I never thought it was that bad. We didn't go in that often, except to see relatives." But she said she could see Toronto being exactly the same in 15 or 20 years. Now she is a landed immigrant in Canada, but she says she doesn't really find much dif- ference between the two places. "Southern Ontario and New York are a lot more alike than New York and Alabama or Georgia," said Diane. She said the anti-Americanism she found in Canada was "really a shock" but said there bad been no personal anti-Americanism. She added that it was "un- derstandable, but Canada just, has to learn to stand on its own feet". In the meantime, Diane herself is busy getting to know people, and getting used to small town life. She had never been to a fall • Mrs. Diane Rimmer "Everybody comes just to see their friends." Diane was at the Exeter Flowers booth at the fair. She has started to work there part-time, just to give her something to do. She also hopes to take some night school classes in arts and crafts or maybe phys. ed, "Little by little, I'm trying to get involved," she said, • • • MARY'S SEWING CENTRE 17 Albert St. CLINTON Authorized WHITE — ELNA Dealer Special Sewing Courses in Lingerie Knits and Men's Wear FABRICS tricot, lycra, knits and all makings and trims Precision scissor sharpening Repairs to all makes of sewing machines Phone 482-7036 or 262-5372 after 6 p.m, • Rebekahs receive assembly greeting The Pride of Huron Rebekah Lodge No, 338 met in the lodge rooms Wednesday evening with the incoming Noble Grand, Vi Coates in the chair.
