T-A photo Page 10 Often we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. We take things for granted. For example, we assume when we flip a switch, the room will be filled, with light, While we twist a tap, we anticipate that water will flow. We presume we'll hear the dial tone, when we lift the telephone receiver. When we turn the key in our car's ignition, we expect the motor to purr. If these gadgets fail, we're shocked. The April blizzard brought some a sample of life without our everyday conveniences. I was lucky this time, but I've ex- perienced the feeling before. It's cold, dark and dismal. When snow blocks the roads, we feel trapped and helpless, We're obsessed with the need to get out, If the mailman can't deliver our newspapers and letters, the day seems in- complete. When the water stops gushing, our throats immediately become dry. When the hydro fails, we crave a hot meal and a cup of coffee, Dinner by candlelight seems unromantic, when we have no choice. Bread and butter, cold bologna and orange juice are unappetizing. What we want is a well-cooked steak. When the lights go out, we decide to read. How did people read by candlelight or a kerosene lamp? We can barely discern the words in the flickering light. With• no TV, radio or stereo, what can we listen to? At times like these, the transistor radio, seems to be the greatest of all the inventions. Freezer Special Fri. and Sat. April 18 & 19 HOT DOG & HAMBURG ROLLS 50' doz. (Please Phone) ERSMAN'S BAKERY 235-0332 Of course, we can talk to each other. During a blizzard, the prime topic is the weather; the conversation relieves little tension, If a person is trapped alone, who is there to chatter with? When the telephone is out of order, we long to talk to someone. Our last link with the outside world is broken. We're prisoners, and time seems interminable. The electric clock on the wall makes no movement. We glance at it every five minutes, anyway - force of habit, I guess. Thank goodness for wrist watches! Have you noticed how many things we do from force of habit? Although we know the hydro is off, we still flip a switch ex- pecting to receive light. We turn a faucet and wonder why no water flows. We know the telephone isn't operating, but we listen for its ring. Gradually we realize how heavily we depend on tehcnology and on the earth's natural resources. Without electrical power, we're cold, hungry, thirsty and bored. Without gasoline or clear roads, we're immobilized. Without the telephone, we're isolated. We derive consolation from knowing these conditions are only tem- porary, Hydro and telephone crews make repairs, and snow plows open the highways. How would we react if these conditions weren't temporary? For centuries, man harnessed the earth's resources and used them for his technology. He took from the earth, but gave nothing in return. Couldn't the earth's supply end someday? The phrase "energy crisis" no longer startles us. We're ac- customed to the speculation about a possible fuel shortage. When we heard the initial war- ning, many of us practised conservation. We lowered thermostats, turned off lights, repaired leaky faucets, reduced our driving speed and cancelled unnecessary trips. Our concern gradually decreased, though, and some of us reverted to our wasteful habits. With the flip of a switch, we can fill a room with light. With similar ease, we can darken the room as we leave. We can save that energy for a later time. A few hours or days in which power is unavailable, teaches us how we rely on it. When the power returns, we shouldn't waste it. Daffodils did bloom in the store windows and on the streets of Exeter last Friday to mark the beginning of the annual Daffodil Da,y sponsored by Xi Gamma Nu Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and the Canadian Cancer Society. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and the people were most receptive and generous in their support to buy the spring Friends theme of UCW meeting "Friends" was the theme of the joint meeting of Units one and two of Exeter United Church Women on April 10. Mrs. E. Jackson. was in charge of the meeting. A Bible reading by Miss L. Siegnerabout Ruth showed how she had been a friend to her mother-in-law, Mrs. A. Rundle lead in prayer. Mrs, L. Oke sang a hymn, ac- companied by Miss A. Brodie, Mrs. Jackson spoke on how the members could be friends to all. The Over 90 Club met on Wednesday afternoon with twenty members present. William Govier was welcomed to the club and following games or euchre and crokinole, lunch was served by the Walkerburn Club volunteers from Auburn. The "Family Night" program was provided by Albert Craig of Bayfield assisted by Mrs. Hen- derson and Norman Speir of the Home. Albert sang several country and western favourites and led a sing-a-long of requests. By the way, we have been attempting to find a more suitable night in the week for our "Family Night" program and have decided beginning May 1st to change to the Tuesday evening. flowers. Members of the sorority carried flower baskets filled with daffodils and locoted themselves along the Main street of Exeter. Everyone was so anxious to buy the flowers, the girls were sold out within 2 hours. Sally Lou Raymond, convener of the project, stated that the chapter had purchased 300 bunches of daffodils, and had no idea they would be sold so quickly. "We'll have to at least double the amount next year," she added. Flowers were also sold and distributed to a few of the local industries and here again the managers and employees were most receptive. "Next year, we hope to include more industries, the hospital and even the school," stated Mrs. Raymond, "There is so much potential for making Daffodil Day one of the. biggest projects to assist in the crusade against cancer. The sorority would like to apoligize to anyone disappointed in not being able to purchase the flowers and also the misun- derstanding created between the amounts of dozens and bunches. Because of the new metric system, all flowers are now supplied in bunches of 10 and this was not realized when ad- vertised. A donation of approximately $325.00 will be given to the Huron County Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society.
