Above, Gerald McCauley pours juices for Terry Gibson of Dashwood, Jim Kettle of the One Way Sounds musical group, Debbie Finkbeiner of Crediton and Melvin Melick, Zurich. By MRS. J. TEMPLEMAN STAFFA The Staffa Buttercups held the sixth meeting of their 4-H homemaking club on Dairy Fare at the home of their assistant leader Mrs. Jeffery with all girls present. Mrs. Jeffery discussed spot lighting dairy desserts and Mrs. Butson whipped skim milk powder. Orange cake top pudding and lemon chiffon were made by the leaders. Two members made a cheese pizza and two members made hot chocolate, Everything was sampled. Meeting seven of the group was 'held at the home of the leader s Mrs. Butson with 13 girls pre- sent. Mrs. Butson discussed Mr. & Mrs. Larry Hamilton, Le Roy, Saskatchewan, visited ra during the week with Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Sillery. S 4, About 35 young people, plus entertainers and adult super- visors took part in the stare-in held last weekend at the Pentecostal Church and one of the organizers, Gerald McAuley said they hope to raise $1200 from the project, Held under the auspices of' the South Huron Youth for Christ and South Huron Reach Out, the starv-in was staged to raise money for Compassion, a charity organization in London which is run by Rev. Jim Sommerville. The organization originally catered mainly to blind Korean children, but has since branched out. The money raised at Ex- eter's starv-in will go toward purchasing winter clothes for childr,en in overseas orphanages. Rev. Somerville and a group of entertainers, the "One-Way Sound," spent the entire 36 hours at the starv-in and provided entertainment for the people in- volved. This is the fourth such project they have undertaken. Another local musical group, "Happiness Is", from Zurich, entertained Sunday afternoon. In addition to the music sessions, the young people were able to participate in rap sessions — a series of four simultaneous seminars on topics such as Chris- tian songwriting, street witnessing, and knowing God's will. There were also games, recreation and crafts to take the participants'minds off food. The only nourishment anyone had for the 36 hours was liquids, such as orange juice. Perry Preszcator, however, was pledged an extra sum of money if he would go without liquids of any sort for 24 hours. He got his money. Mr. McAuley was not able to attend the starv-in for a few hours Saturday because he had to attend a dinner meeting. But he stuck to his pledge and drank orange juice while everyone else ate (dinner. • After such a diet as this, odic cannot overdo things in a big way, so following the Sunday evening service, which ended promptly at 9 o'clock, the group was served a "banquet" of soup and sandwiches. Saturday night, the boys slept at the Pentecotal Church with Rev. Sommerville and the girls at the Parish Hall of the Anglican Church with Mrs. Mary Cud- more, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis and Mrs. Doug Warren. One of the girls who took part, however, Kathy Read, said they didn't get much sleep. They were having too much fun, In addition to all their other activities, the young people kept a prayer going for 36 hours. Each half-hour a different person would enter the small prayer room they had set aside. This went on all through Saturday night as well. Reasons for taking part in the starv-in varied, Kathy Read said it was just a lot of fun. "You know you're starving for a good reason," said Perry Preszcator. He took part in a previous starv-in in London. "It's not just the fellowship," he said, "but you actually experience what millions of people go through, every day". Mr. McAuley was very pleased Pick winners in poster test Most people in the area should have little problem finding out about the annual Santa Claus parade sponsored by the Exeter Board of Trade. Thanks to students of Exeter public school, posters advertising the December 9 arrival of the jolly fellow from the North Pole will appear in most business places in Exeter and surrounding areas. A total of 140 EPS students took part in the parade poster competition. The three best posters sub- mitted in the open class were drawn by ,Barbara Armstong, Sandra McLeod and Gary Blanchard.

Curator talks to teachers The Superannuated Teachers of Ontario, (Huron County Branch), held their autumn meeting Wednesday at Clinton Elementary school with D. I. Hill Exeter as chairman. After a short business session which included plans for the year, Mrs, Elva Metcalfe of Bayfield introduced the guest speaker Mr. Scotchmer, Bayfield. Mr. Scotchmer who is the curator at Huron County Museum in Goderich showed slides and explained a little of the origin and development of the museum. This was followed by an exciting period of trying to identify some of the artifacts he displayed. They were from earlier years but gave plenty of evidence that the age of invention began long before our time. Claude Kalbfleisch expressed the thanks of the group to Mr. Scotchmer, The next meeting will be early in June at Benmiller at the Conservation Park, Let's Talk About It . . DURING "E .F V." Sun., Nov. 19 SPONSORED BY EXETER UNITED CHURCH with the outcome of the project and said everyone seemed to enjoy it. "It might be successful if we tried it again next year," he said. The bulk of the students par- ticipating were from SHDHS, with a few from Clinton and one from Wingharn, The official opening of the Big Toe coffee house will not take place until Saturday, but already there have been quite a few young people taking advantage of the new facility on Main St. behind Pat's Pet, Shop. "We've had 10 to 15 kids there j,Ust about every night since Sun- day," said co-ordinator of the coffee house, Fred Simmons. Several close in predictions The unstable and close position regarding last week's election makes it impossible to know who came closest in the T-A election poll. However, Russell Desjardine, Grand Bend, and Michael Foreman, Exeter, both had the right idea when they listed the Liberals and PCs tied. Five area residents came close on choosing the Liberal tally. Bob Middleton and Lloyd Hodgins had them at 108, while Pat Rowe listed 109. Bart DeVries and Ivan Hearn came close with predic- tions of 104. Most people were way out on the PC tally. Ivan Hearn had them at 115, while Gary Bodkin listed them at 101 and Michael Foreman predicted they'd pick up 100 seats. More unanimity was expressed in the outcome for the NDP. Bill Dyer had them at 31 while four listed 30 seats. They were Brenda Parkinson, Judy Kraft Marion Day and Harold Wolfe. Few were far out for the Social Credit either. Murray Des Jar- dins and Randy Preszcator both had them listed at 15. noon until midnight. There will also be entertainment, in the form of some local boys who have formed a rock band. The biggest problem now, said Fred is to attract the high school kids. Most of them just don't have time to spend much time there. But he hopes this weekend will draw some of them, He is fairly satisfied with the project this far. "We have had great co-operation from a lot of people," he said, "We have definitely proved that there is a need and a use for it in this town. It has great potential".

They have not actually started to serve coffee yet, but hope to have the service in opera- tion by this 'weekend.

He said the coffee house may be open for a couple of hours after the "Thundermug" concert at the high school Friday night.

He said that pranksters did about the usual amount of damage this year as in past years. "Perhaps 50 sign posts were knocked down throughout the county from Friday through Tuesday night," said Britnell, "That represents a cost of about $15 times 50 post to the ratepayers of Huron". Britnell termed the destruction "stupid foolishness", and said that in an average year, between 250 and 300 sign posts are replaced. In many cases, this is after vandals have deliberately removed them, D & J RIDDELL AUCTION SERVICES * Licensed Auctioneers and Appraisers " Complete Auction Service * Sales large or small, any type, anywhere " Reasonable — Two for the price of one Let our experience be your reward.
