Donna Livingston introduced guest speaker Jack Underwood, who had members participate in presenting the craft of string art, Ways and means chairman Donna Webster gave finalized It's hard .fe believe, but as I'm sitting here trying to come up with some ideas for a column this week, we are receiving our first snow of the season. It's hard to believe for a couple of reasons: first of all because we haven't had any snow earlier than this. I can remember hardly a year when we haven't had at least one snow-fall before Hallowe'en, But the second reason is even harder to digest. Do you realize that counting today, there are only 40 more shopping days until Christmas, That sounds like quite a few, and yet divide it into weeks and you come up with only five weeks with a few days left over for last minute pick-ups. And it sure doesn't take long for five weeks to slip past. Of course, the first snow isn't staying on the ground. But it won't be long until it does and once that time comes, Christmas is just around the corner. It won't be long, either, before we again see the almost forgotten sight of cars towing snowmobile trailers instead of boats; and two or three pairs of skis loaded on the top of every second. car. It just slays me, though, how some people are so prepared for the onslaught of winter and of Christmas. One lady at the office has had her kids' boots and winter coats ready for weeks. When I was at home, the first really cold day meant that we had to go to school in coats smelling more than slightly of mothballs and sometimes with odd boots because we couldn't dig out matched sets. Sometiines it was weeks before we'd find our mitts. Mr, and Mrs. Cyril Burrage, Stranraer, Saskatchewan visited with Mr, and Mrs, Roy Alderson and Mabel recently. They also called on other friends in the area. Mr, and Mrs. Wilson Morley attended anniversary service at Kirkton United Church and visited with Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Switzer, they suggest a handy-dandy British Hallmarked sterling silver tea service. A four piece hand-engraved set with matching sterling silver tray (excluding the handles) is only $1,500. There now, I've solved all your shopping problems. But don't expect me to be around when you have to pay for all this stuff. Of a little more immediate urgency than Christmas, however, is another meaningful event next week, Remembrance Day. It seems sort of funny to set aside just one day out of the year to honor and to remember the many people who died so that many more could live, hopefully in peace. — Please turn to Page 16 SURPRISE!!! - Elaine Cunningham is not really one of the surprises which were being sold for a quarter. But she was helping Mrs. Arnold Lewis on the left to man one of the tables at the bazaar and tea held at St, James Anglican Church in Clandeboye Saturday. T-A photo Moves from Manitoba Meet your neighbor And Christmas shopping - that's something else again. The really smart people have been putting away things for weeks. The one big advantage is that you don't notice a sudden strain on your bank account. Inflation this year is hitting a lot of Christmas shoppers though. I've noticed that more and more people are making their Christmas presents. This is great if you have the time, the imagination and the know-how. But unfortunately at no time does my lack of imagination and co-ordination show through more than when I try to do something arts and craftsy. That doesn't stop the ad- vertisers from displaying their wares however, especially the toy manufacturers. What never ceases to amaze me are the ideas they come up with year after year. I often wonder though if they really try to appeal to the kids, or if the ads are just a subtle way of enticing adults who wish they still were kids. If you've always fancied yourself as the world's next Minnesota Fats, for example, you might be tempted to invest in a game of Skittle Pool for your son or daughter, Dad could probably beat all the other fathers on the block if he bought that for Junior. Of similar appeal might be Rebound, a sort of miniaturized shuffleboard. if you supplied the beer, it would be like owning your own private pub. Then again you might see yourself as a prospective Liberace. In this case, for only $69.95 you could buy a Magnus Chord Organ ensemble for your kid. Wouldn't that be nice! You could wake your family up on Christmas morning to the strains of Jingle Bells or Here Comes Santa Claus. But oh yes - you would let little Tom or Mary play with the thing some of the time!. But as I say, maybe a lot of you already have thought of all these things which might amuse "your kids". Then there are people like me. Here we are with the first snow fall and I can't even put my snow tires on. Not that I can't do it . . but one of them is in my trunk and the other one is in my father's garage at home. Fine place for it!. f-, Just noticed something else one of thOse gift catalogues ydfi always see around Christmas. If you're stuck for something to buy for your mother, as I always am, Jumps into community activities • "I'm not one for sitting around doing nothing," said this week's newcomer, Mrs. Audrey Bishop, and even a preliminary sketch of some of her activities show that she puts into practice what she believes. Mrs. Bishop, her husband Howard, their daughter Tennis, 13 and ,sons Tyler, 11 and Graydon, 5 recently moved to Exeter from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba where Mr. Bishop was stationed in the Air Force. He was transferred to Wolsley Barracks in London, where he is an Army Cadet Liaison Officer, thus necessitating the move. This is not the first time for the Bishops in this part of the country, however. They lived at RCAF Station Centralia for two and one-half years before moving to Manitoba in 1967. "When we knew Howie was transferred to London, we didn't really even consider living there," said Mrs. Bishop. "The children enjoy a smaller town and we were familiar with the Exeter district, so we just started looking here, "There is just something about a small town atmosphere that I T. PRYDE & SON LTD.

But the really big difference she noticed in moving back to Ontario was the prices, especially of food, "I nearly died when I saw how much groceries were here," she said. She shopped at a large discount supermarket in Winnipeg but said even the prices of similar stores in Ontario don'tcompare. For example, she paid only 68 cents for a can of salmon there and pays $1.05 for a similar can here. She paid 60 cents for a five pound bag of flour there and anything from 99 cents and up, here. She said butter may be a little cheaper here and meat and clothing are about the' same. "But then you pay a higher tax here too," she said. This is the first time in five years that Mrs. Bishop hasn't had a job outside her home. But that doesn't mean she isn't busy. Monday nights she takes ad- vanced sewing with knits at a night class at the high school; Wednesday she helps with the young people's group at the Pentecostal Church and Thur- sday nights she bowls. On top of all that she says there is still lots of work to do in their home at 289 Senior St„ although from the beautiful decorating already done, you would never know it, Mrs. Bishop has also been busy renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. She said as long as her husband doesn't get transferred again before his final five years in the Air Force are up, they might even settle in Exeter for good.

"There are always so many things on the go - dances and receptions for people who are getting married, and they seem to have a fair and a beauty queen for everything under the sun," she added with a laugh. "And it's really nice being so handy to everything". But Mrs. Bishop still has a soft spot for the west. She is originally from Alberta and her husband from Hamilton. "I really do like the east," she said, "and it's so beautiful, especially in the autumn, but I love the wide open spaces of the west". The humidity of the summer heat and the dampness of the winter cold are not especially to her liking either because she grew up in the relatively dry Join a class licensed by Weight Watchers° Inter- national today.
