all started because I
neglected to buy my car licence
plates.when I should have. I left it
until the very last day and by
then, the line-up was too long and
I was too busy to take time off
work to get Ahem.
But I thought, "No need to
worry. I don't need my car in the
morning (meaning the day after
the final deadline). Pll just wait
and get them then and put them
on in the afternoon", I thought
that was a fine piece of logic: I
would miss the line-up and there
would be no harm done.
So when I got out of bed
Thursday morning and looked out
the window at the beautiful
sunshine I figured it was a good
omen. I went over to buy the
plates just shortly after the office
opened, anticipating no problems
(except maybe a future one in my
pocket-book).
The first thing the lady asked
was if I had filled out the forms
yet. Well, I didn't see any in front
of me, and having never done this
before, I looked up and meekly
asked, "What forms?"
She gave a sigh of resignation
and looked at me as if to say,
"Boy, have I got a smart one this
time!" and then explained that I
had to fill out the application
form on the ownership card. I
was about half-way finished that
when I got stuck. When I asked
what I should put in one certain
spot, she looked at it a little more
closely and said, "Oh, you can't
fill that out. It has to be signed by
your husband since the car is
registered in his name".
"It's not my husband. It's my
father," I said. "And I can't get
his signature. He's 120 miles
away."
"I'm sorry," she said, "but we
have to have his signature".
When I walked out, the sun was
still shining, but my mood was
rather black, and I no longer
thought the sun was such a good
omen.
Then I didn't know what to do.
To mail the form home would
have taken too long and I cer-
tainly couldn't drive home to get
in. I must admit I considered
forgery, but not for very long. So
I decided to call home and see if
Dad would mind driving all the
way down here. I didn't think
he'd be too excited about it, but
much to my surprise, he said he
wouldn't mind at all.
"Your mother is busy today,
though," he said, "so how be we
wait until tomorrow so she can
come too". I really didn't have
much choice, and I decided I
could do without my car for
another day anyway, so I said
fine.
I had just been off the phone for
a few minutes though when it
suddenly hit me. My parents had
never been to Exeter, so they
would want to see not only where
I work, but where I live. Not that
I am ashamed of either, but from
experience, it is always a little
traumatic when your parents
make their first inspection.
I have been through it twice
before, first when I lived in a

house in. Guelph, and then in my
apartment in London. But this
time it was a little different.
Before if there was anything
amiss, I could always blame it on
someone else because I lived with
three other girls on both oc-
casions. All I really had to ac-
count for was my own room,
This time, however, it was
entirely up to me, because I had
my own place for the first time.
You can imagine then that
Thursday night I was in a frenzy
of activity, trying to bring the
place up to inspection standards.
Now I'm not a bad
housekeeper. The bed usually
gets made sometime during the
day and I try to keep things fairly
neat, But I'm not just sure that I
would be a nominee for the Good
Housekeeping seal of approval,
And it happened that during
that particular week, I has been
busy almost every night, the
floors needed sweeping, the
shelves needed dusting and the
dishes needed washing.
There is an age-old phrase that
says two can live as cheaply as
one. From experience, I would
say that this is definitely true.
Two girls (or in my case, four
girls) can cook far more cheaply,
and eat far better, that one girl
living alone.
If you can draw a parallel
between this and doing
housework, it still stands true.
Although logically, it would seem
to take more work to keep a big
place clean that a small one, I
would like to dispel that myth
Mr. and Mrs. Herm Dettmer,
daughter Joan and Clifford
Cassidy returned on the weekend
from a three-week holiday
overseas. The time away was
spent mostly in Australia: on the
east coast area from Townsville
in North Queensland to Brisbane
and then to Sydney in New South-
wales. They then travelled to the
Melbourne area of Victoria.
While in the south they had a
week with Mr. and Mrs. Keith
Colby. Mrs. Colby is a former
'Exeter resident, the daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Luther
Penhale, The Colbys gave their
Canadian visitors many in-
teresting tours of their area.
A cousin of Mrs. Dettmer's,
Glen Schroeder and his wife
showed them around the Mt.
Martha, Mornington area where
they have taught for the past two
years.
The Schroeders are returning
to their home in Bracebridge this
summer where Mr. Schroeder
will resume his position as head
of the mathematics department
at the high school.
Mrs. Dettmer said that one of
the most interesting things about
Australia was the variation in
temperature, from semi-tropical
and very dry in parts to very
much like the present weather at
home. They have no snow,
however, she said.
She added that the animals of
that small continent were very
interesting as well. Australia had
forever,
In a small room, if the least
little thing is out of place, it looks
cluttered. Consequently, with
umpteen knick-knacks, curios
and various other gadgets sitting
around my apartment,
something is always out of
place and it always looks clut-
tered,
When I'm there myself, I don't
mind a little clutter but it is a
different thing when your parents
are coming to visit, Although
they should know me well enough
by now to expect it, I wanted to
impress them a little.
And when they finally did come,
was I ever glad I had gone to a
little extra effort because my
parents brought my aunt and
uncle with them. It was a real
treat to see them and to know that
they wouldn't think I was a
complete failure as a
housekeeper.
Though I complain about living
in such a small apartment, it was
saving grace that day, because it
meant that I certainly didn't have
the facilities to feed them all, and
thus there was no strain on my
culinary talents (or lack of
same).
The conclusion of the whole
thing is that I got my licence
plates (and even got them put on
my car), I got a free dinner, and
they were duly impressed with
the town and my habitation.
So I'll just sit tight until I have
occasion to move again.
many animals strictly unique to
that part of the world.
From Australia, the travellers
took a flight to Bangkok,
Thailand and spend two days and
three nights there. They went on
tours of the city's many beautiful
temples and a tour of the floating
market. They had an evening
meal of Thai foods and saw
traditional Thai dancers.
Mrs. Dettmer, said, however,
that the smell of that city is at
times overpowering. It is a
combination of the aromatic,
highly spiced foods which are
cooked right in the streets, open,
or nearly open sewer systems
and the intense heat.
The silk and cotton shops in
Bangkok are endless, she said,
and the teak wood carvings and
jewelry very beautiful.
From Thailand they flew to
Hong Kong, and proceeded to
Taiwan, Okinawa, Guam, Hawaii
and finally to Los Angeles.
They had two delightful days
there and stayed with Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Dennis and family
and Mrs. Laura Wilson. Among
other things they enjoyed the
Farmers Market and a tour of
Universal Studios.
The Colbys and the Schroeders
in Australia, and the Dennis
family in Los Angeles are all
hoping to return for Exeter's
Centennial.
The holiday ended for the
Dettmers with a trip home by car
in Saturday night's dense fog.

"We are living in the greatest
period of all history. It is no time
for us to lie down and sleep. We
must be alert in our time".
So said Mrs. Don Wilson, guest
speaker at the Exeter World Day
of Prayer service held Friday
afternoon in Exeter United
Church.
Mrs. Wilson was referring to
the theme of the international
service, which was this year
written by women of European
and Maori descent from New
Zealand.
She referred specifically to the
act of intercession, being alert to
others. She said we must "deepen
our understanding, increase our
patience, widen our concern,
broaden the dimensions of our
love, awaken our compassion,
direct our insight and be humble
in the face of life in the 20th
century.
She said we could not do any of
these things, however, without
the Spirit of God. "When we sin
before God, we realize there is an
emptiness in our soul because
there is something missing - the
presence of God," said Mrs.
Wilson.
"We do have His love, but we
do not have His forgiveness until
we ask for it," she continued.
"But with His peace within us,
His joys and His happiness can
never be removed", she con-
cluded.
Approximately a dozen ladies
from six Exeter churches' took
part in the service. There were
representatives of the Christian
Reformed Church, the
Presbyterian, the Anglican, the
United, the Pentecostal and the
Bethel Reformed churches. Mrs.
Ella Middleton organized the
service and Mrs. Robert Coates
led it.
Mrs. Cecil Smith, Huron Park
was the guest soloist. '
Traditionally the world-wide
service of prayer was held the
first Friday in Lent. In recent
years, it has been changed to the
first Friday in March.
Impromptu barbecue - On a

Hurondale II
The first and second meetings
of Hurondale II "Knit Wits" were
held recently at the home of Mrs,
Bill Dougall. The election of
officers was as follows:
president, Evelyn Neevel; vice
president, Carol Dougall;
treasurer, Pat Faber; telephone
girls, Margaret Parsons and
Cathy Read; and a rotating
secretary. The leaders of the new
project "Sportswear from Knits"
are Mrs. Bill Dougall and Susan
Parsons.
Mrs. Dougall discussed pattern
alterations and knitted materials
at the first meeting. At the second
meeting pattern alterations and
pinning on patterns were
discussed.
Hurondale VII
Hurondale VII had their third
meeting on recently at the home
of their leader, Mrs. Brock.
Everyone showed their selected
pattern and fabrics. The girls
have their "Nimble Thimble"
designs made,
Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Clarke
gave the girls some useful sewing
tips to remember while working
with knits,
Mrs. Brock did a few samplings
of a small stitch right down the
piece of fabric. This is done to test
