Samuel says give hint another year or so and he'll be bankrupt and the name of Timothy Eaton will be forgotten - Least that's what my Samuel says! Hannah; Well Samuel may be right but my Hiram says he thinks this Timothy what's-his- name may be on to a good idea - and speaking of good ideas Sarah - I'm so happy that Nettie Freeman and Matilda Hooper came up with the idea to organize the ladies of the church into a Women's Missionary Society. I was sure you'd be going so I thought we could walk over to the church together. It's about time because I've kept coming back to read it while I was setting my buns: "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." Hear what is says Hannah - ask your husband any questions in your own home! Hannah; Huh, that'll be the day when I have to ask my Hiram any questions at home - for one thing he's usually down at Timothy (Ch 2:842). "I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In the like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold or pearls or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." Hannah: I surely wish Paul bad God bareheaded. (Puts on hat) - Say Hannah did you know they bad a sale of hats on now at our store? Hannah; Oh that's where you got it - I was sure I hadn't seen .one like that in the Homesteader's Bible, but it is becoming on you. Sarah: You know Hannah you've made me feel better. I'm beginning to think there is a place in the church for a women's group. There comes to mind now another scripture verse Paul said - in third chapter of Galations: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is netther bond nor free, there is neither male nor female for ye are all one in Christ Jesus". You know Hannah I'm getting a bit excited about this new idea of Nettie Freeman's - let's be on our way! We must burry - I want to stop in at Davis' Butcher Shop and get a roast of beef, He has good rump roasts for 25 cents a pound and along with your order of meat his giving away three pounds of fresh liver. Say won't Samuel be surprised when he finds out what's been going on at the Church today!

Specializing in Hickory Smoked Hams and Bacon CENTENNIAL SUFFRAGETTES - One hundred years ago, it was quite something for the ladies to take it upon themselves to start their own church group, as was demonstrated by Helen Jermyn, left, as Sarah Pickard, and Alice MacLean, as Hannah Lawson, in their centennial dialogue at Exeter United Church Sunday.

Sarah: Well it means that everywhere prayers are to be said by the men - and women must dress in a becoming manner, modestly and soberly, not with elaborate hair styles, not decked out with gold or jewels or expensive clothes, but with good deeds as befit women who claim to be religious. A woman must be EXETER FROZEN FOODS Phone 235-0400 maw, Nati. a learner listening quietly and with due submission - she must be quiet!. Hannah: Oh, but Sarah remember the incident in Mary and Martha's home- Jesus talked with Mary - He didn't tell her to just sit and listen quietly, Glory Sarah I'm beginning to think You're agin the whole idea of we women putting a group of our own together. Sarah; Well I suppose if we can plan all those church suppers for the menfolk, we should be able to plan ways to raise money for those poor Missionaries - Bless their souls - and it would give us another opportunity to raise our voices in praise and prayer to the Lord. Hannah: Yes, and speaking of raising money, they could be asking for an offering this afternoon so don't forget a bit of silver. Sarah: Oh mercy, I never mentioned that to Samuel - he looks after all the givings from this house, I wouldn't dare take a copper out of the sugar bowl. He can account for every last one. Hannah: Well I think it's about time you learned to take the lid off the sugar bowl. Surely Samuel won't object to a bit of silver for the Lord's work, Sarah: Oh mercy no my Samuel's right generous in both his time and money when it comes to serving the Lord - but - well I'll take a bit and leave a note for Samuel. Hannah: Never mind the note - just get your bonnet - I just said to Hiram on the way in - I've half a mind to take my bonnet off and let the glorious spring breeze blow through my hair. You know Sarah - I allow the day will come when women will walk into the Lord's house without a bonnet on their head. Sarah: Oh Hannah - that's Satan himself talking! Hannah: Well I think the good works of the women in the church are far more important than whether or not you're wearing a bonnet. Remember what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount - "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven" Sarah: That's true as you say it Hannah, but Paul said that it wasn't fit for a woman to pray to Sarah: Then again listen to what Paul says to Timothy in 1st Sarah: Oh Hannah - I do wonder if we're taking the right step. I just couldn't close my eyes last night for worrying. I sat here reading my Bible all night trying to get direction from the Lord - and Hannah, I read the book of Corinthians from start to finish - and then the Book of Timothy and oh Hannah, I do feel this bold step the women are taking is against the Lord's will. Buckingham's Blacksmith Shop getting caught up on the village gossip. I'm sure if Paul had known my Hiram he wouldn't have given that advice. Besides when women asked Jesus about questions of the faith, in public mind you - you can be sure He didn't tell them to go home and ask their husbands. Those who attended the church service at Exeter United Church Sunday morning were in for a special treat. In honor of the anniversary of the United Church Women, Mrs. Helen Jermyn and Mrs. Alice MacLean performed a special centennial dialogue depicting woman's place in the church 100 years ago. Dressed in centennial garb, Mrs. Jermyn played the role of Sarah Pickard and Mrs. MacLean took the part of Hannah Lawson. Mrs. Jermyn wrote the dialogue, with some help from a UCW committee. Other aspects of the service contributed to the anniversary. Ushers were members of the Wednesday Coffee Hour and UCW and all wore centennial dresses, Mrs. Marilyn Ziykovic sang a solo, and Mrs, Maxine Sereda and Mrs. Ada ,Dinney performed a duet. Rev. Barry Robinson, from the Thames Road, Elimville charge was the guest minister for the service. The following is a transcript of the dialogue performed. The setting is the home of Sarah Pickard, The occasion is the preparation for the first Women's Missionary Society meeting. Sarah: Why Hannah - what a lovely surprise - the Lord bless you my dear - do come in! Isn't it a balmy spring day? Hannah: Oh yes, but what a mess the roads are in now that the frost is coming out. Actually Hiram dropped me off here because he's on his way to Brook's Carriage Factory in Francistown. The buggy dropped into a pothole on the way in and he's cracked two or three spokes. Sarah: Oh what a shame - but it's an ill wind that blows nobody good, Samuel just said last night at the supper table that with all the wet weather we've had he's had the biggest turnover of rubber boots he's had in many a spring. He put them on sale for the weekend for 79 cents a pair, and sold over 50 pair. Hannah: I don't doubt that a bit - I understand however, that the local merchants have been fin- ding business a bit slow since that fellow Timothy - what's-his-name down in Toronto has been sending out his Wishing Book. They tell me his catalogue's become known as the Homesteader's Bible. Sarah: Oh you mean Timothy Eaton who left Kirkton a few years back to go to St. Marys and then to Toronto. Oh Samuel says he had a hard time in St. Marys. He gave too much credit you know, He'll flourish for a year or so but Samuel says no business can keep that expensive ad- Rising prices seemed to be the issue of the day as the legislature resumed its proceedings on Monday of this week, Dairy producers were granted a 500 per hundredweight increase in the price of milk which amounted to 1 1/3 cents per quart. The dairies, maintaining that their costs have risen since their last increase on January 1st, responded by raising the price of milk to the consumer by two to three cents a quart. Meat prices reached an all time high and apparently provoked the consumers into boycotting meat products at the retail level, Bell Canada's price increases santioned by the Canadian Transport Commission, met with disapproval by other segments of society and enacted opposition members into calling on the Govern- ment to use the powers it has under the law to rescind the decision of the Canadian Transport Commission, In connection with food costs, I listened to comments by con- sumers about the rising prices for which the farmer was being blamed and I asked the Minister of Agriculture in the Legislatures question and answer period, if he would assume the responsibilities of his ministry and use every means possible to disseminate information to the public revealing the farmers cost of production. I indicated to him it was time consumers realized that the farmer was barely making a satisfactory standard of living even at the prices he receives today for his products, for the price which he must pay for grains and more particularly for protein supplements has more than doubled in the last six months. In all due respect to the Minister of Agriculture and Food, I was disappointed with his answer for it did not pertain to my question in any way. Rather he condemned the Federal Government for allowing the importation of beef from U.S, A, into Canada at a time when con- sumer boycotts were having a very definite effect on meat prices in the States. He also condemned the Federal Government for allowing beef which has been fed diethylstilbestrol to be imported from the States into Canada, particularly when the use of such a drug was banned in Canada, I agree with Mr. Stewart on both matters, but I was dis- gruntled with his evasive answer of my original question. However, this is supposedly polished politics and when given the chance, you simply reword your question and hope for a more suitable reply. Premier Davis also showed his concern about rising prices, and spent most of the week in Alberta attempting to prevent a rapid es- calation of energy costs which inevitably would hurt many of On- tario's industries, He proposed a National Conference on energy in- volving Ottawa and the Provincial Governments, but it doesn't appear that he convinced Alberta Premier, Peter Lougheed. Meanwhile back on the home front, Opposition pressure on the Health Minister, Mr. Potter, continued, and as a result the Minister is introducing programs to bring the health costs under control. He plans to cut the administrative role of his departments medical doc- tors and rely more heavily on professional administrators. He outlined two ministry groups which will divide medical and ad- ministrative responsibilities. The Health Standards Group would be responsible for the development of criteria and guidelines for the health care program, the evaluation of services, and the provision of advisory and technical services. The Health Services Group will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of services provided by the ministry. Ministry per- sonnel with medical qualifications will not be involved with ongoing administration, for according to Dr, Potter, doctors are poor ad- ministrators, Dr. Potter, under constant pressure by Robert Nixon and Stephen Lewis, studied the latest figures available on the cost of OHIP and now realizes that the medicare program has been abused and has been bilked for untold millions by doctors. As a result the Minister of Health has devised a form which will be mailed out and which must be filled out outlining the services rendered and the date and amount bill- ed and paid. As speeches in response to the speech from the throne continued, Dr, Morton Shulman, N.D.P. member of the Ontario Legislature said that a Mafia ring operates in Toronto and provides illegal immigrants for work in the New York construction industry. An investigation has started, to determine whether such a Mafia ring is centred in Toronto and is smuggling young Italian men into the U.S. Eddie Sargent. Liberal M.P.P,, put the government under attack and charged them with misusing the taxpayers money, He even threatened to get a court order, if necessary, to find out how Ontario Cabinet Ministers have been using Government aircraft. He accused the government of foul play in connection with the construction of the building for the Workmen Compensation Board (Fidinam Report) and indicated this was only one of the many such under-the-table practices that the Government has been using to replenish its coffers. Sargeant informed the Government that the Opposition would continue to apply pressure until the members became embarrassed by their own arrogance and malfunctions, and some day realize that their constituents want accountability brought back to Government. Several amendments to bills passed the third reading and received Royal Consent by the Lieutenant Governor. This is rather an interesting traditional practice whereby the Lieutenant Governor is ushered into the Chambers and seated in the speakers chair. Here he listens to the speaker confirm the passing of the bills voted on previously by the members of the House after the third reading, The Lieutenant Governor gives his consent, leaves the Chambers, and the bills are proclaimed and ready to be gazetted. Hannah: Why Sarah, you're fairly trembling - Whatever is the matter my dear? Sarah: Well Hannah just you listen to this from 1st Corinthians (Ch. 14:34-35).
