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.

T-A photo 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".
