I realize that most people do not ex- dance and it was decided to have cardparties throughout the winter with Circle I responsible for January. A motion was passed to purchase a 100 cup coffee maker for the hall. The topic was Christmas customs around the world with several members contributing. Mrs. Robert McCaughey led everyone in singing several Christmas carols. Mrs. John Miller gave a very interesting demonstration on the art of candle making and showed many interesting varieties of candles suitable for Christmas and other special occasions throughout the year. Secret pals for the past year were revealed and gift-exchange was enjoyed. A lovely Christmas lunch was served by the hostesses. Personals Heather Daynard, Victoria, B.C. visited in the holidays with her parents, Rev, and Mrs. Daynard. Rosanna Worden, Toronto and Joanne Worden, Ottawa, visited,,. in the holidays with their father, Alvin Worden and Bill, Mr. & Mrs. Allan Appleby, London and Mr. & Mrs. Brian Babcock, Grimsby visited in the holidays with their parents, Mr. & Mrs. Russell Worden.

I have missed being under arrest for killing someone with my car because I wasn't able to drive steadily; I have never had to wonder how my children would eat because I used the grocery money at a bar; I have missed paying extremely high insurance rates because the judge thought .09 impaired my driving; I have missed hearing my wife trying to explain to my children that I beat them because I had been drinking too much. I know I'm missing having my doctor tell me that I have ruined my physical health; or that wonderful feeling of the morning after the night before. Some of the things I have not missed are the higher prices I pay for many goods and services because of the loss of work-hours by employees after a "gooa- time" weekend, I have not missed paying higher taxes for rehabilitation of alcoholics, I have enjoyed driving behind or meeting a weaving car, hoping Mr, & Mrs. Harold Longman, Londesboro and Mr. & Mrs. John Burleigh and family, Goderich. Darlene Templeman has completed her work term in St. Thomas and has resumed her studies at Waterloo University. Dennis Daw has returned to classes at the University of, Guelph following Christmas holidays with his parents Mr. & Mrs. Norman Daw.

Mr. & Mrs. John Templeman were New Years Day dinner guests of Mr. & Mrs Wilfred that the drunk driver will make it safely home and that he and I won't become more accident statistics These are only a few of the joyous times associated with the product and I'm sure the list could be greatly extended. I want the commercials to show and tell my children the whole truth about alcohol, not just the side that presents it as a magic cure-all for a dull time, These are only a few of the joyous times associated with the product and I'm sure the list could be greatly extended, I want the commercials to show and tell my chilren the whole truth about alcohol, not just the side that presents it as a magic cure all for a dull time.. In a system of democracy and free enterprise, no-one should favor total prohibition or banning of advertising but I feel the product has been grossly misrepresented, and that the government should take strong steps to have these companies advertise their product in full and total truth.' I am writing my member of parliament in support of any legislation which would control advertising of these products. If any of your readers agree with me, I would encourage them to do the same. Yours truly Mr, & Mrs. Alvin Cudmore Dear Sir, I visit nursing and residential homes in many areas and, at Christmas time, it is always gratifying to note the support Annis and family Mitchell. Mr. & Mrs. Alt' Ross and family have returned home after spending the Christmas holidays in Florida. A large crowd attended the New Years dance Saturday 'evening in Staffa Hall, dancing to music by Nelson Howe, Murray Christie, Ivan Norris and Mrs. Don Johns. local communities give to these. -establishments. Nowhere is this more evident than in Exeter, At Braemor Manor, Mrs. Wilhelm, the 'hostess', her 'handyman' Russell and Mrs. Seyler are concerned people and the fine job they are doing is enhanced by community support. Braemor Manor's residents' sense of belonging extends out into the local community and they feel 'at home' in Exeter, Yours sincerely, Mr. G. Gregg, 11,1N„ Field Worker, Homes for Special Care, Lambton County Board of Education RE: STAFFING SECONDARY SCHOOLS Thank You The Lambton County Board of Education wishes to thank all those concerned citizens who volunteered to staff the high schools in the event the agreement dispute involving the teachers in our system was not resolved by school opening in January.
