Facts 'n Fancies
By SUSAN
Did you ever have "one of those
days" when everything seems to
go wrong - or at least enough
things to effectively spoil
anything that might be going
right?
Well, last Sunday was my day.
Now I don't think I am a
chronic complainer. At least I
hope I'm not, But when "one of
those days" happens, the only
thing that makes me feel good at
all is to complain about it.
What's more, it doesn't do any
good just to listen to myself
complain. There has to be
somebody around with a sym-
pathetic ear - somebody who will
interject with "Oh, no," "Isn't
that too bad," and "You poor
dear" when I pause to wait for a
word of comfort and un-
derstanding.
The day started off quite well
and naturally I had no
premonition of what was to come.
Very late Sunday morning I got
enough ambition to crawl out of
the sack and prepare something
for breakfast. When I say
"prepare" I don't mean waffles
or bacon and eggs, I mean I got a
box of cereal from the shelf, a
spoon and bowl from the cup-
board and milk from the frig.
Much to my delight, even the
milk hadn't gone sour. (Unlike
several days during the hot spell,
when I could never be sure of
finding milk that hadn't soured -
even though the frig is cold
enough to freeze eggs if I put
them on the shelf nearest the
freezer,
All this time, I was anticipating
the final picnic of the season, to
which I had been invited by my
girlfriend and former college
roommate, Krys and her husband
Mike.
Now as far as I'm concerned, a
picnic is a picnic and often I
would just as soon be sitting in a
comfortable chair away from the
ants and other creepy-crawlies
you usually find at an outdoor
meal,
But Krys' picnics are
something else. You never know
when you go there whether you'll
be eating Swedish meatballs, or
creme de menthe parfaits, or a
new kind of cheese that Krys
"discovered" in the market. She
always has at least three dif-
ferent, and unusual salads too.
The highlight Sunday was a
Turkish cucumber salad.
As you can see, Krys has the
type of picnics you always see in
magazines, complete with wine,
and fruit for dessert. In my an-
ticipation of all this, I never even
considered that some dastardly
might happen.
Even my car behaved itself on
the way into London and that in
itself can be considered a good
omen.
Everything looked fine when I
finally got to the city, armed
with my contributions to the
picnic - a half-frozen pound of
hamburger and brownies with
the consistency and taste of semi-
hard cement. It didn't help the
brownies either when I had to
make a couple of sudden stops
and they crash landed on the floor
of the car.
However, when I arrived we
loaded up with blankets, heavy
sweaters, picnic baskets, wine,
hibachi, charcoal and right on top
of the pack, a Frisbee, and
headed to the park behind Krys
and Mike's apartment.
Not even then did I anticipate
anything out of the ordinary, Two
of the guys brought along their
All Canadian Pro Frisbees and it
was decided that there were just
enough people to make a good
game of chasing that plastic disc
all over the park.
The game started and it was a
close one and the following
thoughts ran through my head,
not necessarily in this order:
"How exciting?" "What a great
way to exercise", "Why won't
that blasted thing go where I aim
it?"; "It's all the wind's fault";
"Darn, I missed it again".
Then it happened.
In an overly-enthusiastic at-
tempt to catch the thing before it
flew past my head again, I didn't
notice this tree root 'which had
sneaked up beside me and put
itself right in the path of the
Frisbee.
I realized something was
wrong when I saw the ground
coming up at me rather quickly.
But with my quick thinking brain
and instant reflexes, I tried to
avoid injury by stumbling for-
ward to grab the tree.
Instead of just scraping my
knees, as would likely have
happened, my whole leg twisted
underneath me. One of the guys
diagnosed it as a sprained ankle
and a twisted knee.
"But I'm only used to
diagnosing horses," he added
with a grin.
"Thanks a lot," said I.
That put a sudden stop to my
blossoming career as the world's
champion Frisbee catcher.
Just out of curiosity, have you
ever tried to work a clutch on a
standard car with a sprained
ankle, especially when you are in
the middle of London and hit
every red light on the way out of
the city?
Or have you ever driven all the
way from London to Exeter with
your low beams on, just because
it hurt too much to push the floor
button with your sore foot?
But don't worry. I soon forgot

Meet your neighbor
RN enjoys community work
"I just have a feeling for this
place. I think I'm really going to
like it here.
If everyone had such a positive
attitude about moving to a new
community as this week's new
neighbor, Mrs. Alice Campbell,
moving would not seem like such
a formidable task.
Mrs. Campbell recently moved
to Exeter from Oakville with her
husband, Bill and their 15-year-
old son, Stuart. They plan to
make their home in Exeter a
retirement home and Mrs.
Campbell is very excited about
the prospects of living and
working here.
Her husband has not yet retired
from his position as manager of a
K-Mart store in Oakville, but
plans to within a few months.
They were in Oakville for three
and one-half years and in Toronto
before that.
This is the first time since her
marriage that Mrs. Campbell has
lived in a relatively small
community, although she grew
up on a farm near St. Marys.
"But I've never lived in a place
I didn't like," said Mrs, Campbell
as she rhymed off such diverse
areas as Sudbury, Kitchener and
Kirkland Lake. "And I'm really
ready to settle down in Exeter",
It will be much nicer when her
husband is home to stay. Now
he is still living in Oakville during
the week and coming home on
weekends.The family has many
relatives in the district, however,
SO they are not lost for company.
Stuart, who is starting grade 10
at SHDHS, is very enthusiastic
about hockey, explained his
mother. "If there hadn't been any
hockey here, I don't think we'd
have even considered this town,"
she added with a laugh.
Mrs. Campbell hasn't been
feeling well for the past few
weeks, so she hasn't met too
many people yet. But she calls
herself a "joiner" and can hardly
wait, to get involved in church
groups and other activities.
In Oakville she was the leader
of a 40-member UCW unit and
was also very active in Red Cross
work. She is an R.N. and taught
home nursing classes and sewed
for that organization.
She was also involved with the
Canadian Save the Children Fund
and helped collect supplies, wash
and mend them, crate them, and
then raise enough money to pay
to ship them to needy families
overseas.
At the present time, she says
there is still lots of work to do on
their Hill St. home which
overlooks Riverview Park.She is
very pleased about the location of
their home and stressed again:
"I just know I'm going to like it
here".
