CARMEL One of the first things a reporter learns is to never un- derestimate the reader. Thus, I will dispense with my original intention of trying to convince the reader that last week's Mt. Carmel news was written in invisible ink and for that reason no one read it. Actually, I was fighting my way through orientation ac- tivities for Western University's first year students, which can be compared with a trainer con- fronting a hungry lion without a whip or a chair. Already I have been exposed to what might be called "Campus Chaos" and although I was invited to join first-year Engineer students on a raid of an all-girl residence, I didn't have the heart to discredit Mt. Carmel's respectable reputation. However, I was only one of a large handfull of young people from this area settling into a completely new atmosphere of work or schooling. Barb Jeromkin, the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Nick Jeromkin Jr., has successfully landed a job in the policy record department at the London Life Company. Barb will now be living and working in London. One person who had to take a plane rather than a bus to resume school was Chuck Dietrich, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Dietrich of Mt. Carmel. Chuck will be attending St. Mary's Salecians School in Edmonton. Last Sunday, September 5, Chuck and his father flew to Edmonton, and Mr. Dietrich took the op- portunity to visit his daughter and sun-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Dave McCallum who live near Edmonton. Mr. Dietrich returned to our area last Wednesday. Two young ladies who have also decided to travel from our area and resume their education elsewhere are Christie and Bridget Ryan, the daughters of Mr. & Mrs. Tom Ryan. They will continuing their high school education in Ottawa. Although Mrs. Mary Trainor was a resident of our village for many years, she is adjusting to the big-city atmosphere of London fairly well. One of her daughters, Heather, is attending Fanshawe College in London, class sponsoring a child for, Compassion. Lunch was served by Mrs, Earl Neil. Mrs. Gordon Ratz, Mrs, Ross Pickering. while another daughter, Pam, is getting settled in Peterborough where she plans to attend College as well. The only tragic part of these ventures by Heather, Pam Barb Jeromkin and myself, lies in the fact that Gabby Jeromkin, who is attending North Middlesex District High school, must wait for the bus in the morning without the benefit of our jokes, songs and other insanity. Leigh -Anne Darling, the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Don Darling, enters grade nine at NMDHS this year with the usual mixture of emotions. The first day of high school is best com- pared to Halloween. There is a definite atmosphere of sinister horror, and everyone is wearing a certain disguise to hide their fears. Finally, in church news, one more person made their debut into a new environment. That person was Brenyn Ann Baynham, the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Barry Baynham, who on Sunday, September 5, was baptized and welcomed as a new member of the parish at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. By MRS. RENA CALDWELL Mr. & Mrs. Harold Jones have returned from an extended trip to British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Mr. & Mrs. W. L. Mellis visited last Sunday with Mrs. Tom Burke who is a patient in Wingham Hospital. Mr. & Mrs. Grant Jones, Mr. & Mrs. Ken Jones attended the Ling-Gackstetter wedding in Guelph. Miss Lynn Alderdice has returned to London for a third term at University. Mr. & Mrs. Arnold Gackstetter visited during the week with Mr. & Mrs. Harold Jones. Bean Harvest is in full swing in this area. ANYTIME... ANYWHERE... ANYBODY Mr. & Mrs. Charles Dunning of Grimsby, England, are visiting at the home of Mrs, Lord. Mrs. Dunning is an aunt of Mrs. Lord's late husband. She is great aunt of nine and great great aunt of seven, none of whom she has seen before this trip to Canada. Her husband, 86 years old, enjoyed his first plane trip. They arrived in Toronto two hours earlier than the schedule they had submitted to Mrs. Lord. Stranded with no Canadian coins and only their traveller's cheques, they were freely given assistance by people aware of their plight. Canadians are very kind people, they decided, and the weather here is marvellous. They renewed acquaintance with Jack Jesney who in childhood days had attended the same school in England.
