The solution to the first question is usually dictated by the state of our finances at the time. What most often happens is that our consciences dictate she should have two gifts. Why should she be penalized just because the two occasions fall so closely together, through no fault of her own? So whether we can afford it or not, my brother and sister and I pool our resources and try to come up with at least two gifts.By pooling our resources, this usually means that my sister buys one gift, I buy another, and after much prodding, my brother kicks in a dollar or two to each of them. In all fairness to Jim, he usually doesn't have very much money to throw around. (What 16-year-old boy does?) Never- theless, he is the type of guy, who if asked to run downstairs on an Royal Copenhagen 2.,.Mother's Day Plate ALSO 1973 Eskimo Prints NEXT TO THE POST OFFICE * Chocolates * Candies * Perfumes * Cosmetics * Cards * Sundries I suspect other people must have the same problem, but I have yet to hear a satisfactory solution to it. Every year, just about this time, my family gets into a terrible quandry, that is every Member of the family except my Mother. Almost everyone is aware that Mother's Day is coming up - the traditional time when kids get up early to cook up a mess (usually literally) of breakfast to serve Mom in bed and husbands make hurried last- minute trip to the florists or drug store to stock up on flowers and candy. But at our house, the situation is complicated by the fact that my mother's birthday comes just a few days before Mother's Day, or a few days after, or if we are really lucky, on the very same day. The problem of course, is do we get her one present or two? And when we finally decide that, what And at Baby Shampoo Baby Powder Baby Oil 433 MAIN ST: errand will reply, "Oh, I could do it for a small feel" No offence to Jim because it is pretty well a standing joke around our place, And the way he conducts his finances, he will probably be the first millionaire in our family. But back to the problem at hand. The question of what to get Mom for either occasion is probably the,hardest decision. She is not har to please, but like everyone else, she likes things which are useful and decorative at the same time, and she has her own individual tastes (which don't always correspond with those of my sister and I). Usually, just to help us out, she will drop a few hints about what she would like. This time, for example, she told me a month or so ago she would like a new set of towels. That sounded like a terrific idea to me, and I went home last weekend all enthused about it, ready to ask Jane and Jim what kind they thought we should get. I was in the process of trying to get them together in an obscure corner of the house, when Mom, apparently anticipating our upcoming conversation, said, "Look in the bathroom, Sue. What do you think of my new towels?" Possibly thinking we hadn't picked up her previous suggestion, she had gone out and bought her ow:,. Another idea shot down the drain, and we are left with an even bigger problem. The criteria for choosing a gift for Mom is quite complicated. There are always items for purely practical uses that one needs around the house, but they don't make for very nice gifts. I, for one, would be quite disap- pointed if someone gave me a new dish cloth or broom for a gift. But then you don't want to give something that will never be used either. Right now, my mother is up to her ears in knick-knacks and costume jewellry. (A nice diamond tiara or gold-studded bracelet would probably be ac- ceptable, but I already men- tioned the draw-back to that type of suggestion. My sister came up with a great idea at Christmas which has helped at least to half our problem. Ever since we were little, a "Look but don't touch" sign has been sort of invisibly hanging over Mom's good set of petit- point dishes. She brought them out, but only for very special occasions, and she was never able to use them at a dinner, because she didn't have the dinner plates. Anyway, at Christmas, Jane started her on a collection of — Please turn to Page 11 SOFT PUFF Absorbing Balls BONUS PACK 694 325's CAMEO Facial Tissue 2,PLY %.0 $ 100 200's FOR Last Thursday, the work of five area night schools culminated with an arts and crafts display at Homemakers form group A meeting of Certified Visiting Homemakers in Huron County was held at Conestoga College, Clinton Wednesday.

Ross Milton, Conestoga College presided for the election of of- ficers which are as follows: president, Rita Duncan, Seaforth; secretary, Mrs. Estelle Wise, Clinton; treasurer, Mrs. Bernice Gregson, Exeter; vice president of operations, Mrs. Wilma Bakelaar Clinton. Two family trios assisted with the music for Sunday evening's Christian Reformed song service. Mrs. Vanderwaal and daughters, Arlene and Gail, Mrs. Amsing, Coby and Andri sang several numbers. Aeire VanDerEnde led the service and the devotional period taken by Rev.Beukema. Mrs. Mary Willis, Seaforth was welcomed to the home by the residents at Monday afternoon's get-together. Marie Flynn joined the regulars, Mrs. Mary Taylor, Norman Speir and Jerry Collins, to provide the music for the oc- casion. Volunteers from the Clinton Christian Reformed Church were on hand to assist with the ac- tivities and wheel chairs. There was a good attendance at the Annual Blossom Tea and Craft sale on Wednesday afternoon sponsored by the Huronview Auxiliary. The Huronia Male Chorus led by Mrs. McCaffrey, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Kleinstiver, provided the family night program. The chorus with members from Exeter, Hensall, Zurich, Grand Bend and Dash- wood areas presented part of the program. They are preparing for the Exeter Centennial in July. The provincial government has declared June 17-23 as "senior citizens' week" and plans are being made to hold open house at the home during that week.

Anderson Community Centre, near Kirkton. For four yeai's Doris Westman, RR 1, St. Marys has been teaching night schools in Exeter, St. Marys, Mitchell, London and Stratford, and the show last week provided her students with a chance to show off their best work. About 15 ladies took part in the Exeter classes which were held once a week for 20 weeks during the winter. Like all Mrs. Westman's students, they did tube painting on glass, wood, fabrics and ceramics and bread dough ar- tistry. Elaine Datars, Dashwood, walked off with the top prize from all the five schools for her week to week work and her note and record book. Her mother, Mrs. Verna Becker, also of Dashwood came third in this competition. Mrs. Westman judged the best work from each school and then they competed against each other. In addition to the art display, a fashion show was sponsored by Cameo Hobby Products, for which Mrs. Westman• is the district sales manager. The Cameo fashions (all of which were painted on with tube paints) included long gowns, sports wear and many other items. Some were done by local ladies, and some of the fashions came from as far away as Detroit and Montreal. Truly Yours Style Advisors sponsored the other half of the fashion show. This section in- cluded clothes, as well as all types of fashion accessories. Mrs. Westman was a Music Supervisor for five years before she became active teaching arts and crafts.
