It was agreed that council would undertake the necessary action to dedicate the new senior citizens residence in her honour. The idea, although excellent, illustrates the fact that we do very little to recognize the achievements of the living, The family undoubtedly is pleased for what is done for deceased relatives, but the individual himself is seldom aware that we appreciate his efforts and his contribution to our community. A few years ago, we reacted, on council, spontaneously to the victory of the Jr. Hawks and presented them with a gift that we thought of, almost on the spur of the moment. At that same time, I suggested that there should be something tangible that could be presented to anyone who brings honour to Exeter —there was a student at South Huron D.H,S, at that time, for instance, who had moved to the all Ontario finals of the legion public speaking contest. No doubt others have also excelled in their fields, and warrant recognition by the town. Some communities single out achievement and contribution by naming citizens of the year. Annual meeting of Huron Institute The South Huron District Women's Institute District Annual meeting will be held on May 15. The site of this year's meeting will be the Dashwood Community Centre. The theme for this meeting will be "Take Time to Grow But Not Older." Guest speaker for the morning session will be Jane Pengilley, home economist for Huron. The afternoon session speaker will be Mrs. Clarence Diamond. Groups participating in the morning session will be from Dashwood, Hurondale, Hensall and Zurich. The morning session, begin- ning at 9:30 with registration, will also hear the reports of the standing committee conveners. Groups participating in the afternoon session will be from Seaforth, Kippen, Elimville, Grand Bend, Crediton and Dash- wood. These honoured people come from every walk of life and have been successful in various fields. I know of many residents in Exeter who have demonstrated their humanity, their athletic skills and their dedication to service, and deserve official recognition . Many of you also are acquainted with people who merit honour in some form. This entire idea is recognized by the Federal Government which presents medals each year to outstanding Canadians who have demonstrated exceptional ability or unrewarded service, Something of this nature is required in our world which' seems toemphasize;material gain and benefit from every action. We, too, should single out for honour, those who, for no per- sonal gain, have given time and skills for the benefit of the community. The honour could take many forms: naming streets in the new subdivisions after living in- dividuals( I can thinkof three who deserve that honour); declaring certain people as citizens of the year and presenting them with mementoes and a banquet (I can think of eight people myself who have, in various fields, made a significant contribution to life in Exeter;) devising a standard plaque or pin that is presented annually or at the time of achievement (although that moment may be difficult to determine for those who con- stantly do humanitarian work); and undoubtedly many more ideas are possible. What I would like to see are suggestions from you people in two areas: first, what specifically can be done to honour those among us who haveperformed the exceptional; second, who are these people? - I probably am aware of only a few. In our democratic society, we often frown on those who move away from the 'usual', once because of title, now, because of wealth or family. We are equal in our rights, and we are equal in our society, but it is appropriate for us to identifythose among us who have contributed in some significant way to the betterment of the community. • I sincerely hope that a suitable form of recognition can, be devised to honour our out- standing citizens. I hope that you will take an interest and take time to consider this situation and suggest a means of recognizing achievement and service. After a short business meeting, members of Hensall UCW and guests from Chiselhurst and Zurich United Churches met in the Fellowship Hall for the May general meeting.
