HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-11-06, Page 11One group very active YACMR is really rolling along this year. We are planning to arrange an activity once per month. For the month of October we had an activity for each, Huron Hope School and ARC Industries in Dashwood. Tuesday, October 21, we had a social night for the trainees at ARC Industries. The trainees remained at ARCIndustries until the YACMR kids arrived. We then played games until 5:30 and then we had supper, The YACMR kids each brought a dish for the meal. After the meal was over Sue-Ann Schneider entertained us with her guitar and singing. We really enjoyed it and joined in singing when we knew the words. A special thank you Sue- Ann, we really appreciate it. The buses left for home at 7:45. Everyone was tired but happy. Halloween was a special treat for Huron Hope kids and for the YACMR kids. YACMR once again this year took the Huron Hope children "trick or treating," The children were taken to their neighbouring towns. The towns that were visited were Zurich, Grand Bend and Exeter.

Outers enjoy Bruce jaunt By BARB RATZ The Senior Outers spent the Past weekend hiking a section of the Bruce Trail between Tobermory and Cypress Lake, It was necessary to set up camp in the dark Friday evening as we did not arrive at Cypress Lake Park until 6:30 p.m. The weather turned on us, and we prepared our supper in some rain. Afterwards we had a campfire, sang some very "original" (halm) camp songs, told stories, toasted mar- shmallows and had an all around good time. Saturday was spent in hiking about 6 miles, The weather was cool, but not' too windy, so hiking was quite warm if anything. We set up camp in the late afternoon. Two campers from the area told us there were bears around, but they Said since Mr. Marshall had his two dogsalong wei need not worry - (Thanks to Sid and Maggie). Cooking was again an experience for all, as there is a knack to doing it over an open fire. The evening was perfect as the weather stayed mild. Sunday morning, after a hearty breakfast, we set out to cover the last 4 or 5 miles of our hike. We happened to meet some of the students from the Centralia College who were also hiking. It was then on to the Park where we had camped Friday night, and where our bus awaited. Our last lunch was quite a feast as everyone put in any left over food and we all shared together. The trip home was fun, and as usual, noisy. some houses. We count it a real privilege to be able to do this for some of our "best friends." Once again this year YACMR is selling Christmas Cards. The cards are on sale in the school. Any students who are interested just ask a YACMR member in the halls, We will help you.

They deducted from my security deposit of $191 the following items: $12 for missing drapes; $25 for repair of a small piece of Arborite. I return- ed the drapes but they didn't return my $12. • Now to that countertop. I think they could have repaired it for under $10,00. I have tried to get the head of the apartment chain but he won't answer my letters. When they made their claims, I claimed against them. I had a leaky apartment and the water ruined my carpet. In the winter, the sun melted the snow and water came in. In summer, the rain came in. That water didn't come through the window. It seeped in from the ground because I had a ground floor apartment. The carpet is rotten. When I claimed for it, they said they didn't have time for such rubbish. Rubbish it may be, but it was once a good carpet. Final- ly, the rental man said it didn't matter anyway. I couldn't hold the owner responsible for faulty construction. I want $180 for my rotten carpet. No chancel Water coming up through the floor is an "Act of God" and covered by your insurance not theirs. That's what they say. But, let's break down the claims, counter-claims and final bills for the last time. They sent you $72 because the superintendent forgot to tell them you returned the missing drapes. But that's if. it cost them $36.54 to repair the countertop. It cost them another $22.82 to repair the panel top of your stove. They didn't charge you. They alsp spent $28.30 cleaning your apartment. You're still ahead of them by $12, So don't knock it. SEE US FIRST 411 MAIN ST, EXETER H&K 50% in, FOR ALL SPORT OFF YOUR .rifi.

OVER 121 Years KIPPEN 262-2823 1 235-1331 I recently purchased another car and phoned my out of town insurance company pronto, to have them change , over my policy from my previous car which I had sold privately. I was told on the phone that this would be done right away without any problem. In due course I received in the mail, a temporary cer- tificate of insurance, valid for 21 days. The problem is that this time limit ha now expired, and with the mail strike still being on I haven't received my new policy. I'm worried in case I might be stopped by the police and be unable to produce a valid certificate. What is my position, in the event such a thing occurs? You are worrying quite needless/y. Everyone is all too aware of the current postal strike, including the police, Tell them lust what you have told us and invite them to call your insurance company collect, if they need verification, Exeter AmollOMMIIN ORIGINAL Flowers & Gifts ;:47\ OIL PAINTINGS BUY OR LEASE %Dr„,, 235-0 F; 11 Ben J. L. 509 MAIN STREET HOOGENBOOM I took my 12-year-old daughter to an agency for a screen test, The people at the studio said she was suitable for screening and they gave her one. They took some color film of her. Later, they called me to say my daughter had passed the test and I was to be patient because soon all kinds of offers for film work would be coming to her. They said they were going to finalize some arrangements and it would just be a matter of time before the money would start to roll in (with them taking a 15 percent agent's fee off the fop, of course). Well, time kept passing and nothing happened. I called them just recently and the excuse I got was the man who had been dealing with me was on vacation and I would have to wait until he got back. I've been waiting four months now and I'm starting to get a bit disgusted. Did I pay out $65 for that screen test for nothing? Something like that. But hope spring eternal and if you Want to go hoping for a film job for your daughter for the next six months (if the company is around then) go ahead.

When a special event goes on in a club or there is a game at our school, the people involved like to have spectators there to either participate in the activity or cheer the school team on. Likewise when the student council plans on an event and asks for the participation of the student body it's only fair that the students show their school spirit and participate. Last Friday was "Greaser Day" at SHDHS. Throughout last week we were reminded constantly by posters, announcements of what to wear, how to act and generally how to get into the spirit of the day. The dance Friday night was to be the climax of the event. The student council worked hard to try to get the student body ready for Friday. It was disappointing when only half of the school dress- ed up. Some students thought the event was babyish and showed the immaturity of the students, Others were offended by the type of dress, while still others couldn't be bothered (not worth the ef- fort?) Whatever the excuse not dressing up for "Greaser Day" show- ed a lack of school spirit. Lack of school spirit is also demonstrated at our volleyball games, basketball games, football games and generally all school activities. No one is asking anyone to skip classes to support your school. But, if a student has a spare minute or doesn't have to go home right after school they should come and cheer their school mates on. The cheerleaders do a terrific job but the more support the better it is. A student only gets out of his high school years what he puts in. This week (and the rest of the school year) come out and sup- port your school teams, Stick together as a student body and show your school spirit not only in sports but in every school activity. The end result will be worth it.
