The Strathroy Middlesex
Museum now has a part-time
curator and secretary on a
regular basis, Mrs. Jean Mac-
donald. Mrs. MacDonald, who is
well-known in Strathroy and
district, expects to be at the y
museum, Monday to Friday in
the afternoons, unless museum
business takes her elsewhere,
Since a telephone has now been
installed there (245-0492) groups
wishing to make arrangement for
a tour, or individuals wishing to
make inquiries, offer material to
display, etc., may call there in
the afternoons.
The summer open hours for the
museum are 2 to 5 p.m., on
Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, but advance
arrangements can be made for
group tours at other times.
A number of school classes,
mainly from Strathroy, have
visited the museum lately to see
the display of Indian artifacts
arranged by the Archaeological
Society of South Western Ontario,
and Wm. Baxter, Parkhill, the
secretary of the society, has been
present to show them around and
answer questions. This display
will be on view till Thanksgiving,
At the last meeting of the
museum board a plan was
presented for furnishing a
parlour, dining room, kitchen and
bedroom in the museum,
probably with Victorian fur-
nishings, and setting aside other
rooms for short term exhibits,
and a display of mechanical and
technical equipment and tools.
This plan will require some
major articles of furniture, as
well as many small items, so the
continuing interest and
generosity of the residents of the
county and town are hoped for.
The Best way to inspire
courteous treatment by other
motorists is to drive a police car.
Censorship reflects a society's
lack of confidence in itself.

Public health nurse retires
a fter 25 years of service
probably won't want for con-
versation.
Just as an aside, one of the
fellows who had overheard just
part of our conversation came
over a little later and asked again
what newspaper I work for. lie
looked almost disappointed when
I told him, and then replied, "Oh,
that's too bad. I thought maybe
you worked for the London Free
Press and I was just going to tell
you that we don't take it
anymore."
If I had worked for the London
paper, I believe this chap would
have held me responsible for all
the things about that paper that
he doesn't like - another sort of
Personality typing.
Anyway, conversation seems to
be the most obvious way of fin-
ding out about other people, and
the most important basis for
forming opinions about them.
Unfortunately, many people
don't let it get to the conversation
stage. We have all heard com-
plaints by young people who say
they are discriminated against,
simply because they have long
hair, or wear sandals and blue
jeans.
Margaret Smith, a Public
health Nurse with the Middlesex-
London District Health Unit for
25 years is retiring and was
honored recently with a dinner.
Miss Smith trained and
graduated from the Toronto
over the School Health Services,
Miss Smith remained, as she did
when the Middlesex County
Health Unit amalgamated with
the London Health Department.
She is well known in the county
areas that she has served and
Miss Smith is a charming hostess
and has made many friends both
in the rural and urban area. Masses visit

General School of Nursing in 1930
and received her Diploma in
Public Health Nursing at the
University of Toronto in 1941.
Following graduation, Miss
Smith worked with the City of
Toronto Health Department as a
staff public health nurse for three
years and during the Second
World War served in the Royal
Canadian Medical Corp as a
nursing sister, serving overseas,
moving to many theatres of
action.
Following this experience she
worked with the Bill Telephone
Company for a short period of
time and then joined the Mid-
dlesex County School Health
Services in 1948.
She visited rural schools and
administered immunization and
first aid to the young people in the
rural schools.
She has taught Prenatal
Classes in the Lucan area which
she enjoyed very much and has
helped and assisted many
families in the rural communities
of Biddulph and London Town-
ships.
When the Middlesex County
Health Unit was formed and took
The Presbyterian Church
Women met in Caven Church
June 11.
The theme of the devotional
was "the art of beauty in
flowers." In connection with this,
Mrs. Joanne Dinney demon-
strated flower arrangements.
A centennial picnic in the park
was planned for July 9. Mrs,
Lorne Johnston gave two piano
instrumentals.
Mrs. Wilfred Jarvis showed a
film strip of Torran Mal, a church
camp for children in India and
slides on the Helen MacDonald
Memorial School for Girls in
Jansi, India.
There are few things more
interesting than meeting people
for the first time. All kinds of
factors come into play and you
can learn just about as much
from observing reactions under
these circumstances as by
participating in them.
Last weekend, I was in such a
situation, I was invited to a picnic
where I knew about half the
people. Introductions went
something like this: "Everybody,
I would like you to meet Susan.
Susan, this is Jane, Mary,
Phyllis, Tom, Dick and Harry".
Those were not their real
names, but that's not particularly
important. While I was still
trying to figure out who was who,
the group split up and started
preparing for supper.
But it wasn't too long before
one of the girls came over and
said, "What was your name
again? I missed it the first time."
t And she thought she had
trouble!
After exchanging pleasantries
about the weather and such, the
inevitable question came: "And
what do you do?" If I had wanted
to act a bit smart, it would have
been easy to reply, "Well, I swim,
I read. I drive a car, etc, etc,"
Obviously, however, that
wasn't what she wanted to know.
She was interested in what type
of work I do.
You will hear this standard
question asked over and over
when people meet for the first
time. It serves two rather useful
purposes, For one thing, most
people have stereotyped ideas
about the characteristics of
people involved in certain
professions.
For example, when I said I was
women's editor of a weekly
newspaper, I could just see the
girl's mind working. From that
simple statement, she had gained
some knowledge of what I do with
a good portion of my time;
probably of the sort of town I live
in; and likely she had conjured up
an idea of what sort of per-
sonality characteristics made me
go into this type of work.
The second important function
of this type of question has to do
more with sustaining a con-
versation than learning about a
person although that certainly
comes into it. It is a fairly well
known fact that if you can get a
perSbn to talk about herself, you
I'm not saying this isn't
possibly true. I do think however,
that without exception, everyone
is judged by the way they look. It
can be done consciously or sub-
consciously, but appearance,
including the clothes you wear,
your hair style, and your physical
attributes all classify you as a
certain type of person.
This is very dangerous for
many reasons, but mostly,
because there are no set rules for
these classifications and you can
so often be mistaken. The
following are perfect examples.
I met a girl at college and from
the first I didn't make a special
attempt to further the
acquaintance. She was an ex-
tremely pretty girl, very popular
with the guys, and she had a
closet full of clothes: hardly good
reasons to shun her. And yet,
most the girls I had met in high
school with those same attributes
were so snobbish that they would
hardly deem it in good taste to
speak to a mere me.
Fortunately, through cir-
cumstance, we did get to know
one another very well, I was
entirely mistaken in my first
impressions of her and today,
more than three years later, we
are still best friends.
I am also am also guilty of
judging people by their ap-
pearances when I am hitch-
hiking. Under certain cir-
cumstances, I will not take a ride
with someone because of the way
they look and conversely I will
not give a ride to someone
because of the same thing.
But I have been proven wrong
in these cases too. I have taken
rides with fellows whose ap-
pearance did them justice, but I
feared for my life because of
their driving before I got out of
the car.
One night I was driving home
and there were a couple of young
boys, about 15, well dressed and
generally neat looking, standing
hitch-hiking. I stopped and gave
them a ride and in the course of
the conversation I learned that
they were on their way home
after having appeared in court. I
never did find out what they had
done, but it just showed that I had
goofed again.
It never ceases to amaze me
how many different kinds of
approaches people will make,
Usually, they are fairly standard,
as the one I described earlier. But
once in a while, you will come
across something really dif-
ferent. I have met people who,
within the first five minutes,
have told me their life stories,
and what I consider very per-
sonal information.
• Maybe it's because I am rather
hesitant about confiding in just
anybody that this bothers me.
But it makes me feel acutely
uncomfortable when it happens.
All through this column I have
been warning against the
dangers of first impressions and
the quick formation of value
judgements. But there is one
quick and almost fool-proof cure.
The next time you find yourself
judging a person on first ap-
pearance, just stop and think
what kind of a first impression
you might be making!
