DALEY'S WEEKLY COMMENTS
A corour trip
BY ORA ENGEt.
I have been en Explorer for two
and a half }legs and even though
some Monday evenings I just
didn't feel like going because the
"Partridge Family" was on, I
reluctantly went. This was when I
just started Explorers,
But when I arrived at the
church I was surprised to see all
the fun we had. I expected it to be
all very boring but the fun games
we played and the silly songs we
sang changed my attitude.
But it wasn't just the fun we
had but how the other girls acted.
If they had acted bored then I
would have acted the same, but
how could anyone be bored with
all the fun and the new things to
learn,
The counsellors were always
nice and always had something
new cooked up to keep you in-
terested and their recipes cer-
tainly worked on me.
The Explorer Motto "Be Doers
of the word and not hearers
only" really meant a lot to me
and to the other kids because it
meant to really do something and
not let it go through one ear and
out the other.
Parents' night! Everyone held
their breath for parents' night.
What if it doesn't go well but then
I thought - we're all faithful
Explorers doing our best by
living each day with God's love to
guide us to grow, exploring God's
world of wonders, to give of
ourselves each day for God has
given us a life to live and share,
These things were going back
and forth in my mind when the
meeting came and with all the
parents watching everything
went smoothly. Each parent had
a smile of approval.
Parties were a lot of fun
especially the differenkgames we

Stupendous, marvelous !I!
What's all this about, you may
well ask. Well to make a long
Story short. Last week I drove up
to Soo-perior country to visit the
senior member of the family and
the scenery was just too beautiful
for words, I cannot remember
when there was so much colour in
the autumn leaves.
We made a few side trips
around the country-side and were
just overwhelmed by the variety
of color. If you ever get the op-
portunity to make the trip nor-
thward try to plan it around
Thanksgiving time, I'm sure you
won't regret it. Incidentally
that's the reason there were no
Comments last week.
Just recently received the
following communique which I
am sure will be of interest to
some veteran readers.
The Honorable Daniel J.
MacDonald, Minister of Veterans
Affairs announced that an Order-
in-Council has been passed which
will exempt, as income, for war
veterans allowance and civilian
war allowances purposes, the
cost of living increases in the Old
Age Security and Guaranteed
Income Supplement which will
become effective on October 1st.
Mr. ,MacDonald said this
amendment to th'e regUlations'of
the war veterans allowance act
and the civilian war pensions and
allowances act would enable
some 48,500 recipients, over the
age of 65, to receive the full
benefit of the OAS and GIS
Supplement cost of Living in-
crease.
The Minister also pointed out

You'll see the high quality of
Hanover's materials: from the elegant-

there are nine different styles,
nine finishes, four wood-veneers, and
a nearly limitless variety of features
from which to choose. Beaver/Hanover

beautiful new kitchen, just to suit you.

From the gang that showed up
for registration to participate in
Branch 540's Tuesday night
mixed sports we should ex-
perience a real fine season. Our
Sports Officer advises there is
still time left to register and the
contests will get under way
Tuesday night October 23 at 8:00
p.m. sharp. So for a real fine
winters entertainment this sports
night is a must. Register now and
get in on the fun.
Here's something that may
interest you . . . you've seen
those cars cruising up and down
the highways with the high rear
ends. Well they'll soon be illegal.
The federal government is
bringing in legislation that will
standardize the height of all car
bumpers - which is a good idea.
Of course it will be tough on the
little cars and they'll end up with
the bumpers up around the top of
the hood.
Don't forget folks it's United
Appeal time a ga in ,Remember you
may never need the services of
many of the United Appeal
services but if you have an ac-

perhaps save your life. Give your
share to help make your com-
munity, wherever it may be, a
better place to live in.

long is usually the result of
thinking that wasn't long enough.
