The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1973-04-05, Page 14THIS IS NEAT! — Robbie Finkbeiner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Finkbeiner, Huron Park, seems to be really enjoying getting his eyes tested, especially with all these funny gadgets. Robbie was one of the more than 50 children who took advantage of the pre-school health clinic last week. The clerk-technician is Faye Munro.

If the an- swer is no to all of the above, you might as well stop reading right now, because I intend to devote this column to discoursing upon a few gems of wisdom and one or two stray thoughts on the aforementioned subjects which have occurred to me in the last week, I shall entitle it "Odds and ends and anything else in- between". Just out of curiosity, I wonder who ever originanted the phrase, 'odds and ends', It just doesn't make sense. If it was 'odds and evens' or 'beginnings and ends' it would seem justified, But 'odds and ends'? Oh well, just another of the many quirks of the English language! Just about anyone who watches television will be familiar with the advertisement about the litter machine that ignores the garbage but sucks up the Titterers. I have come to the conclusion that this isn't such a silly idea. Unfortunately, I cannot say that I have never thrown something out of my car as I was driving along the highway. But I can say that I haven't done it for some time and that I ask anyone driving with me to leave their garbage in my car until I can dispose of it in an appropriate receptacle. But one night last week, I saw just one more example of people who either don't think at all, or who think but don't care anyway. I was walking down the street here in town when this car drove past and someone dumped a whole boxful of serviettes, plastic vinegar and ketchup containers, and half-eaten hamburgers on the pavement. It was an ab- solutely disgusting mess. I can imagine the rationale of someone doing that in the country, where they figure no one will notice anyway. But right in the middle of town? The men- tality of such a litterbugger is completely beyond me. And without wanting to suggest that our police should be full-time garbage men (sorry . . . , sanitary engineers), do you know of anyone who has ever been fined for littering? I admit it must be sort of a hard thing to prove, but it makes the idea of an automatic machine which gobbles up the litterers look better and better. While I'm on the subject of waste, I suspect there aren't too many people wasting left-over food, and especially meat. One just cannot afford to throw away the left-overs. I didn't really realize, before moving to Exeter, just how much the cost of food and especially meat is spiralling; not because Exeter is any more expensive that any place else, but because this is the first time I have cooked for myself. When I was at school, the cost 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. of food was shared with room- mates, and we didn't notice much of a squeeze on our budget. In fact, two years ago when I lived in Guelph, the four of us used to contribute $5 each per week, buy out food and other household sundries out of that, and after two or three weeks, we would have accumulated enough extra to splurge on a bucket of chicken. There's no way we could get away with that now. I would like to think that the present boycott of meat in the States would do some good, but I have my doubts. For one thing, it would have to be a unanimous effort, not just a few people here and there, Besides, not everyone is a galloping gourmet. And although there is little doubt that we can get the food value of meat from other foods, it takes a little more effort to supply the variety and appeal in meals that meat provides. Can you imagine somebody walking into one of those take-out restaurants and ordering french- fries and a soy burger? While the cost of meat con- tinues to rise, so do traffic ac- cidents, and certainly the cost of these in terms of human lives should concern us much more than food. An interesting little poem crossed my desk the other day and it would pay us all to take heed, The title of the following is "Ten little drivers": "Ten little drivers, cruising down the line; one had a heavy foot and then there were nine, Nine little drivers, the hour was getting late; one dozed a moment, and then there were eight. Eight little drivers, and the evening seemed like heaven; one showed his driving skill, and then there were seven. Seven little drivers, their lives were full of kicks; one bought a bottle, and then there were six. Six little drivers, impatient to arrive; one jumped a traffic light and then there were five. Five little drivers, wheeling near the shore; one viewed the Members of Clinton Christian Reformed Church formed a choir for the Sunday evening song service. Aire Van Der Ende led the service and the devotional period. The Huronview Auxiliary met in the craft room Monday afternoon and as well as assisting with the quilting, discussed new projects and made plans for the coming year. Assistant Administrator Ed Rowe attended the meeting and outlined some of the needs of the home. The urgent need at the present time is a vehicle such as a minibus that would accom mo- de tewheelchairs. The Auxiliary scenery, and then there were four. Four little drivers, happy as could be; one passed upon a hill, and then there were three. Three little drivers, busy, it is true; one neglected car repairs, and then there were two, Two little drivers, and the day was nearly done; one didn't dim the lights, and then there was one. Yes, one little driver who's still alive today; by following the safety rules, he hopes to stay that way." + + Have you ever wondered who decides when Easter is going to be? We were discussing same at coffee break one day and com- miserating because Easter falls so late this year. One of the ladies informed us that there was quite a simple and scientific way of determining the date, and gave us the following helpful little poem: "30 days has September, That is easy to remember. But to tell when Easter comes, Will puzzle even scholars some. Once March the 21st is past Just watch the silvery moon. And when the moon is full and bright, Easter will be here soon. And if it should be on a Sunday That the moon would reach its height, The Sunday following that one Will be the Easter bright." Another lady came up with a slightly different formula,but you will find they work out to the same thing: Easter comes the first Friday after the first full moon after the 21st of March. Personally I think it is easier to leave all that figuring to someone else, and consult my calendar instead. Well, there you have it: the odds and the end. decided to go ahead with raising money for the purchase of the vehicle as the main project of the year. They hope to have the assistance of other organizations and people of Huron County in this venture. Rev. Dr. Mowatt of Clinton showed colored slides of Arizona on family night that were taken by he and his wife during their winter holiday. Dr. Mowatt!s pictures and commentary in- cluded several slides of the Grand Canyons and flowering cactus. Miss Pearl Gidley was pianist for the sing-a-long and also played several numbers at the start of the program. The Hurondale Womeds Institute met March 28 and had dessert, The education and cultural activities committee headed by Mrs. Harry Dougall was in charge. Mrs. Bev Morgan and Mrs. Arthur Rundle who attended the craft night school this winter showed paintings, etc., they have made and Mrs. Rundle demon- strated making bread dough flowers. The roll call was "What year did you join the W,I." Mrs. Alvin Moir read the history of the Ode Mary Stewart Collect and Institute colours and the topic was "Know our organization, Mrs.Harry Dougall made a tree which represented the Institute from the roots up. She also gave the history of the organization. Mrs. Lloyd Ballantyne and Mrs. Charles Snell gave history of The North West Territories and Mrs. Charles Kernick gave history of the ACWW. Ruth Skinner, District President, gave a short talk. Several members attended the Elimville 25th anniversary held at Usborne School. Mrs. Carl Mills, vice president presided for business. The course "Choosing and using fabrics" is to be held May 1 with Hensall. Mrs. John Pym read letters from the president, Mrs. Noblitt. Hurondale will be in charge of the birthday party at Huronview in June. The April meeting will be a pot luck supper at 6;30 p.m. All conveners are asked to bring their reports and handbooks and all are to bring a gift for their mystery pal.
