"Jim was the sports director at Camp Tawingo," said Mrs. Colleen McKinley. They were married in May 1969 and Jim had to organize his programs for the summer camp which is near Huntsville. He is presently the new ,recreational director for Exeter. The couple and their year-old daughter Heather, moved into Huron Park from Kitchener on May 8. While Jim was directing at the camp, Colleen, a registered nurse worked part-time in the emergency department at a nearby hospital, The rest of the time she helped with the camp nursing. She has also spent some time in Sioux Look-Out working in the Indian hospital. "There's a shortage of doctors up there," she said, "so nurses get to do a lot more." She would like to continue nursing if she can get a part-time position. She finds their new neigh- bourhood "like living in the country, there's lots of room." "People are friendly, I'm used to a small town but it's been a real change for Jim." she said. Colleen says she likes to cook and has just started a Canadian stamp collection, MRS.

Any Member of the Ontario Funeral Service Association can arrange for the preparation, documentation and return of the body to your (city town — community ). The simplest course to fol- low is to call the Funeral Director of your choice and instruct him to proceed on your behalf. Through his affiliations with Funeral Directors' Associa- tions in other provinces and countries, he can relieve you of most of the anxiety regarding the proper arrangements, and almost invariably it will cost you less. "As soon as the rush is over, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown, I've worked for it; I owe it to myself and nobody is going to deprive me of it." That's a motto I discovered in a catalogue. Perhaps each of us should hang it in our office or our home, in some spot where we can often read it. When will the rush be over? What if the breakdown comes first? Today's world spins at a frantic pace and we're trapped on the treadmill, Another phrase caught my eye: "Blessed are they that go around in circles for they shall be called 3ig Wheels." Maybe we're too intent on running in circles to notice the direction in which we're heading or to understand the people we encounter along the way. Do you want to be a big wheel? don't. I'd rather be a small wheel rolling at my own speed and in the direction of my choice. Sometimes we long to shout, "Hey world, slow down a little! Let us catch our breath." We know the world won't wait for us, though. Why should it? Contentment is a precious commodity that few people possess, but each of us must realize our limits. We should choose our personal goals and travel at our own pace. We must also determine what we value most highly in life. The simple things in this world often bring our most treasured memories, Unfortunately, because we think we are too busy, we sacrifice many of these im- portant aspects of life. Relaxing by listening to a favourtie song on the radio breaks the work pattern of our day. Strolling through the countryside to breathe the fresh air or to observe nature requires time and energy. Enjoying the grandeur of a sunset consumes precious moments of daylight, which could be devoted to labour. Hearing a child chatter about his pet frog tries our patience as 'we count the numerous tasks we must perform. An idle con- versation with a friend seems pointless, when work awaits us. Work also represents a form of escapism from the earth's un- pleasantness. Plunging into our jobs leaves us little time to worry about the starving people around the globe or the problems of our next-door neighbour, We don't realize how we are abusing man's inheritance or consider the heritage we are preparing for the next generation. We can't imagine the state of our lives in one, ten, or twenty years. Sometimes it's easier to tackle a workload than to face the harsh reality of the present and the uncertainty of the future. They that go around in circles shall be called big wheels. Perhaps they will avoid feelings of anxiety and guilt, or they may only prepare themselves for the inevitable breakdown. At the same time, they will deprive themselves of many pleasures. About 75 indians, complete with feathered headdresses and torn- toms, held a Pow Wow in Exeter's Riverview Park, Saturday. The Algonquin, Aux Sables, Hurons and Black Foot tribes, Mattresses are available in two basic types, advises Consumers' Association of Canada. Foam mattresses are made from latex rubber or polyurethane foam that has been molded or cut to size and then covered. Innerspring mattresses are thicker and more popular. They consist of a series of steel coils arranged in rows and surrounded on both sides by insulation, padding and covering. Both types of mattresses cost about the same for comparable quality. representing Brownie Packs from Huron Park, Exeter, Dash- wood and Kirkton, held a Brownie Revel in the park. After smoking the peace pipe, the Chiefs (Guiders from all 4 packs) led all indians (Brownies) in an afternoon of many games, One of the T-A columnists has received an award for "The student showing the most promise in the field of writing". Elaine Townshend, who has been writing the column "Odds 'n Ends" on the women's page for the past few months, received her featuring relays, dress up games, tug of war, nature hike and a supper lunch. In true Indian fashion, the day ended with a campfire, songs and even a rain dance, which didn't seem to work, as the day ended without a rain cloud in sight, award from the Goderich Signal Star Publishing Limited. It was one of five special awards presented to graduating students at Conestoga College's graduation ceremonies held in Clinton on Friday night. :polka-'Doi: • FABRIC STORES • Main St., Exeter • Store Hours: 9-6 Daily, Open all day Wednesday Friday till 9 p.m. • • • • • • • • Page 12 irtnes-Advocate, June 6, 1974 'Odds n' Ends .p...AINgTQWNSHIENP 704 70 Ve Ve9, V‘exe? :NL T-A columnist wins award Use CH ARGEX • Your t IWO 211- 4,1111 a .1 • Vesta Miller's Beauty Shop will be CLOSED for HOLIDAYS from June 15 to July 3 Thank-you
