Plan Good Friday service Every year just about this time, a peculiar phenomenon called hockey fever strikes the Canadian populace. This ailment affects all age brackets of men, women and children, and although it is not especially serious, it has definite effects on the behavior of those who catch it. Once familiar with it, the symptoms of this disease are easy to spot: bleary eyes and an increase in yawning (the result of having stayed up late the night before to watch the last few minutes of play); frequent ex- changes of money in offices, street corners, and homes (a consequence of over-eager en- thusiasts too anxious to place a small wager on the outcome of a game); and an increased ten- dency for all conversations to concern hockey (the surprise victory, the unexpected loss, or the third man in on the big fight). Repairmen are usually very pleased to see the first symptoms of this disease, because its advent is often accompanied by an increase in requests for television repairs. It is understood, of course, that this is the case, only if the requests do not interfere with the repairman's chances to see first hand the cause of the disease. The sickness strikes suddenly (usually about 8 p.m. on the night of the first televised play-off game) and is not selective about its victims. Businessmen, from junior clerks to senior executives, children from age 9 to 92, and women in all walks of life are apt to contact it. Perhaps the most unusual victims, and the hardest hit, are those people who do their utmost the rest of the year to avoid contacting hockey fever, One of the most prevalent, and easily identified groups in this situation are the housewives. My mother is a perfect example. She never watches day- time television, and seldom makes a point of viewing a hockey league game on television through the winter. But once the play-offs begin, she is as bad as my father and brother for never missing a game. Many of these same women complain futilely all through the 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. winter months when they cannot watch the Wednesday or Saturday night movie because their husbands have ap- propriated the television for Hockey Night in Canada, But ne'ery a word is uttered once the playoffs start. There has been some concern expressed in medical circles because the duration of the disease is lengthening. Because of the increased number of teams in the leagues, and the increased number of regular season games, hockey fever comes later and later each year. For the same reasons, it is no longer limited to simply a semi-final and final series, but now extends through the quarter finals, in both the established National Hockey League, and the still infant World Hockey Association, But the symptoms of hockey- mania are not limited or caused strictly by the professional leagues. In any community with an active minor hockey program, once the end of the season ap- proaches, every mother and father of a potential Bobby Orr, Frank Mahovolich or Ken Dryden spend just about all day Saturday, and possibly a few nights during the week at the rink. When they aren't actually watching a game, they are discussing the merits of the last one, strategy of the next one, or running downtown to get their son's skates sharpened. At this time of year, there is hardly any need for the slogan, Huronview news Mrs. Shirley Luther, Hensall led the song service Sunday evening sponsored by the Christian Womens Club. Mrs. Cecil Smith sang two solo numbers and played the organ for the hymm sing. The devotional period was taken by Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Jackson. The residents of Huronview had a special treat on Monday afternoon when the grade 7 and 8 students of Clinton Public School presented an operetta "Carnival Capers", The two-act play that was arranged for Education Week involved 95 students. There were 46 students in the cast, a choir of 40 and several helpers with the wheel chairs along with volunteers from the Christian Reformed church. This was a fine display of talent and a great deal of credit is due to the music in- structor Mrs, Jewitt and the teaching staff. Mrs. Mary Jervis, Toronto and Mrs. Edith Landsborough of the office staff showed slides along with a very interesting com- mentary of the south sea island. The slides were taken by the ladies during their winter holiday to the island as part of the tour arranged by Reverend and Mrs. Ashton. We are all looking for- ward to the second part of the travelogue on family night, April 19th which will include New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii. Mrs. Lorna Radford played piano melodies while the folks were gathering in the auditorium and during intermission. - "Don't send your children to the arena; Take them". You couldn't keep the proud parents, friends and relatives away if you tried, In fact, some will drive 400 miles, partly to encourage their sons; but partly because they don't want to miss out on the chance to say, "That was our boy, you know; the one who deked the defense man, faked to the left with a slap-shot and then just slid the puck under the goalie for the winning goal" The image of the proud parent was epitomized by the editor, who came into the office grinning from ear-to-ear one day and announced, with no little pride, that they had finally done it: a goal by Batten from Batten. Of course, it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. (Try to tell that to a few over-zealous fans and parents sitting on the sidelines.) Nevertheless, the ultimate pay- off comes, as it did this weekend for the Exeter Pee-Wees, when they won the championship, If it is a provincial final, there is that much more status and glory. But just about any championship will do, Needless' to say, the kids and the coaches and perhaps most of all, the parents, deserve great credit for any win of this sort, and for not being afraid, of catching, or passing along the germs of hockey fever. This disease, however, is not quite as specialized, or seasonal, as it may sound. The same symptoms and other details outlined here can also be evidenced in early fall, at the time of the World Series in baseball, or in early winter, when Grey Cup football looms large on the scene. The one thing to be thankful for is that the disease is not more serious than it is, and that as far as can be determined, there are no long-lasting effects from it. The thing that I can't un- derstand is how anyone could ever criticize today's youth for jumping up and down, and screaming and yelling at a concert of their favorite music group. After all, this exact same behavior is apparent at just about any sport's event. and from the time a child is big enough to hold a bat,or throw a pigskin, or stand up on skates, he is taught to behave this way when he is ex- cited, Oh well! I just hope Philadelphia beats Montreal out of the play-offs, or I am going to be short a few dollars. Many relatives and friends gathered Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. John Ridley to honor Margaret Campbell with a miscellanous shower prior to her marriage April 28. Hostesses were Elsie Toornstra Hensall, Mrs. John Willis, Mrs, Elmer Willis and Mrs. John Ridley. Technology is the science that produces more and more in- ventions and less and less mechanics to service them. Again this year, the Exeter Ministerial, composed of the Bethel Reformed, The Christian Reformed, United, Presbyterian, Anglican and Pentecostal. Churches have arranged a special Good Friday church service. It will be held Friday at 10 a.m. in Trivitt Memorial Anglican. Church. Rev, Jack Roeda from the Christian Reformed Church will take charge of the service. His sermon is entitled "The power and wisdom of the cross." He will base his talk on the text, 1st Corinthians, chapter 1, verses 22- 24, Music will be provided at this Easter service by the choir of the Christian Reformed Church. Members of other choirs were invited to attend, but Rev. Roeda said that the majority of mem- bers would be from his church. The Exeter Ministerial was formed approximately 10 years ago. Collaboration on the Good Friday service and on the Vacation Bible School are two of the major activities of the Want Cromarty correspondent Due to ill health, the Cromarty correspondent for the Times- Advocate, Mrs. Ken MacKellar, will be discontinuing her service for that community. Mrs. MacKellar has worked for the T-A for over five years and we will be sorry to lose her service. It necessitates, however, getting another correspondent for Cromarty. If any lady or gentleman from that community is interested in taking over these duties, we would appreciate it if you would contact Susan Greer at the T-A (235-1331). The details of the job and the benefits a correspondent receives will be outlined at that time. ministerial, which includes all churches in the community except the Baptist Church, Although not an extremely active group, the members of the ministerial often get together in twos or threes to work on certain projects. They are also making plans for Centennial celebrations. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY - Mr. and Mrs. Melville Gunning celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary quietly Wednesday with a dinner which included family, friends and neighbours at the home of Mrs. Edna Passmore. The Gunning's reside at 31 Gidley street west, Ex- eter, They farmed in Blanshard township until 1964. PTA members discuss theories of drug use The regular monthly meeting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel P.T.A. was held at the school, Thursday night. The teachers were all available in their classrooms amid displays of their students' work. At 8:30 parents and senior students assembled in the gym to hear the evening's speaker, Jim Ingoldsby, from Kitchener. The overhead projector was used to display a chart showing the three most used drugs, how they are taken and by what dependancy group. This was followed by a short film and discussion. The theory that youths used drugs because of poor or no communication in the home; lack of discipline in the form of guidelines; and feelings of not being honestly loved, wanted or needed, was discussed, followed by a question and answer period. We prefer the old-fashioned alarm clock to the kind that awakens you with soft music or a gentle whisper. If there's one thing we can't stand early in the morning, it's hypocrisy. O. Op "is
