Nothing too exciting has happened lately and I couldn't seem to come up with any general themes or appropriate topics, Then I remembered something that one of my high school English teachers told me. We were talking about con- versations, and how predictable discussions between strangers can be. For example, what is the first thing you talk about when you meet someone on the street, or when you sit beside a stranger on the bus, Of course, it's the weather. "Nice day out, isn't it?" Or conversely, "Hasn't the weather been miserable lately? Sure hasn't been much like winter." It is a curious phenomenon,but over and over again in the course of a day, you will hear, or participate in, several discussions on the state of the weather. And it doesn't seem to matter what the weather is like. It could be a bright, clear winter's day, or a howling blizzard; an unusually warm, spring-like day or dull and overcast. But you can always compare the state of the weather with the day before, the week before or a "remember when.. " The theory my English teacher had, and it is one which I have heard or read several times since, was that people have to ALL 1973 Models Now Available From British Leyland Including The 1973 Austin Mini ""'and the 1973 Marinas SEE THEM NOW South End Service EXETER 235-2322 Open Evenings By Appointment find a topic of common interest, or concern with which to begin their conversations. You have to find a neutral subject to talk about on which both will have an opinion or at least be familiar with. For instance, you wouldn't sit down beside a stranger on a bus and immediately start talking about your collection of antique thingamajigs. The stranger might have no interest what- soever in listening to you. On the other hand, you might discover in the course of a normal discussion that you have a common interest in auto mechanics, or hooking rugs. The point is that before you can get into conversations or discussions of any sort, you have to have a common starting point. It's like the old story of the man stopped at the side of the road changing a tire on his car. Another car stops, a fellow gets out, walks over and says, "What's wrong, tire gone flat?" or "I see you've got a flat tire." What would make someone say something like that? Obviously, that is what's wrong with the tire. It sounds pretty ridiculous written down, but I'm sure if you watch yourself you do the same thing, often. The fellow changing the tire has several different recourses for response: "No, I just got bored with this one, and decided here in the middle of nowhere that it was time for a change"; "No, I'm just doing this to attract Weight watchers form local class Residents of Exeter who are looking for a proven way to lose weight can join a new weekly class for weight watchers which started Monday at Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church. The classes attempt to combine sensible meal plan information with proper motivation techniques to produce permanent weight losses. The classes will be held every Monday at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Adelaide Daniels, founder and director of Weight Watchers of Ontario Limited, is starting the course. She is a crusader against overweight, and outspoken ad- vocate of eating sensibly and-bas: established over 300 classes throughout Canada. She always recommends a medical check up first. Mrs. Daniels, who lost over 100 pounds herself seven years ago - and has kept it off - explains, "I have known the humiliation, loneliness and disappointments of being grossly overweight. I also know how wonderful it was to rejoin the world of normally proportioned human beings, with the knowledge and understanding of how I could eat well - yet never again in my life become fat." One man to another: "Equal rights for women! Eighteen- year-olds to vote! I'd get out of town if they'd let me have the car." attention. Guess it worked"; "No, my doctor told me the best way to keep in shape was to change a tire at least once a day". You can imagine the un- derstandable huff of the motorist who stopped to help if he got a reaction like this, He would probably tell the guy what to do with his tire and drive off angrily, Thank goodness that most people would react to this obvious statement or question in the manner it was intended - only as a simple observation, meant to open up the conversation, So it is with the weather. If you can't find another common in- terest, you talk about the weather, A major problem could occur if, when you had exhausted comments about the weather, you had still found nothing in common, But what about the weather? Around this area, any lengthy discussion about winter weather inevitably leads to reminiscences about "the big storm" a couple of years ago, just about this time. Fortunately, I wasn't in south- western Ontario at the time, but I have heard enough about it to get a pretty good idea of how bad it was, Around here, everyone has at least one memory of some of the extraordinary events which took place during that few days. At home, we don't have any one such event to refer to, although a few things do stick out in my mind, For example, there was the day when the roads were so icy in the morning that the busses couldn't get out on the road to take us to school. Later that same day, however, the sun got so hot that all the snow and ice melted really quickly and we had to fight all after noon to keep the man-made pond near our house from bursting through the dam. And I remember days so cold that the lady next door would phone our house in the morning when she saw the school-bus coming, although we only had to meet the bus at the foot of the laneway, This was so if the bus was even a couple of minutes late, we wouldn't have to be outside any more than absolutely necessary. But I'm sure those days weren't actually any colder than a few days ,this week have been. As with all heightened childhood memories, they just seemed to be colder. Then last weekend, when I was driving home, I saw at least three different groups of kids cleaning off a small pond, or a patch of ice in a frozen field, so they could skate. How often did my sister and brother and I try to clean off the pond, only to have the bigger boys, with their hockey sticks and pucks come and take over when we were finished. But these are things that just about every child, and especially everyone who grew up in the country will remember about winter weather. So what did these reminisces accomplish. Well, perhaps nothing, but I did get my column done. "We came here to be nearer my husband's work, but mostly just for peace and quiet," said Evelyn. Lebedew, who has lived in. Exeter for almost a month. She moved, here from London, with her husband Paul and their three children, Paul, 14, Colleen, 9 and Alexander, 3. Mr. Lebedew works at Kaschper Racing Shells in Lucan. This is the first time Mrs. Lebedew has ever lived in a small town and she says she really likes it. "My husband really loves the country," she said, "and the kids are just enchanted, That's the only word to describe it". The Lebedews have a large lot on Carling St., with a barn and a chicken house. Mrs. Lebedew said the children really like this part of it, and are now looking for a pony, "We also have lots of room for a nice big garden," said Mrs. Mrs. Evelyn Lebedew Lebedew, She said she has never been able to have more than a tiny "two by three affair" in the city, and she is :really looking forward to gardening and working outside. Mrs. Lebedew said she hasn't met too many people in Exeter because she has been so busy setting up house. She said that they picked an older house on purpose "so that we can work on it and fix it up the way we want". She said that her children take up most of her time and this is what she enjoys. Before she came to Exeter, however, she was taking a course in conversational German in London. Mr. Lebedew is German, and has been in Canada for 15 years. "Quite a few of our friends are German," she said, "and although they all speak fluent English, sometimes they lapse into German and I feel sort of out of it". She has been studying the language over a year, and said she is progressing very well, She didn't know whether to continue her classes in London or if there were a similar classes offered in this area. Mrs. Lebedew said she is fascinated by German and other European traditions, Her family celebrates Christmas and other holidays in the German tradition. She said she also loves to cook and European food is the family favorite. That is the only thing she misses about London, the easy availablity of European. food. She said that Mr. Lebedew taught her to cook in the European style. "I like anything new and anything that's a challenge," she said. "Besides, I couldn't let my husband be a better T h ecook dt wa ns T mhaave"6en too busy to become involved in any local groups or clubs, but Mrs. Lebedew said both were very interested in bowling and square .Lebedew M 's aunt, Mrs, .1diaer‘i.cerisly..1.gis living with them as well. "It's really nice," said Mrs, Lebedew, "I didn't realize before how long and lonely the days were."

Huronview news Tile closing of Huronview to visitors to try and eliminate the flu bug has made some changes in the activity programs. Although the restriction creates some hardships, it has the ad- vantage of bringing out some of the hidden talents of both residents and staff. Alice Roorda provided piano accompaniment for the Huronview regulars at Monday afternoon's get-together and, following the sing song period, everyone joined in singing happy birthday to William McIntosh, who was celebrating his 91st birthday. The hymn sing got underway at 2:30 as a result of the cancellation of the Bible Study, conducted each week by Mrs. Prouty, Exeter on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Pearl Gidley played the piano for the hymns, followed by an enjoyable half-hour of organ melodies with Jack Roorda at the console, Nine tables were played at the games on Wednesday afternoon, with Mickie Cummings getting the prize for the highest number of points in the euchre.
