T-A photo Exeter UCW view slides The Thanksgiving meeting of Units 1 and 2 of Exeter United Church UCW was held Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Grant Mills in charge. Rev. Grant Mills was guest speaker using the subject, "'Thanks be to God." Thanksgiv- P, ing is given at times in answer to a thrilling experience, and at other times in a routine way because of the time of year. He used facts of science and nature to show us how big God is and yet how concerned He is with the smallest detail. Mr. Mills stated that we live in the Universe and we had better learn to live with the laws of our Creator. He showed a number of slides to illustrate the beauties of God's world. The worship period was led by Mrs. Mills, assisted by Mrs. A. Hamilton and Mrs. H. May. Mrs. Bert Francis favoured with a piano selection. Mrs. R. Dinney conducted the singing of several songs.

According to our reader she ,was the owner of a Big Ben alarm clock which she had had for 14 months, when suddenly it ceased to run properly, ( kept stopping with great regularity) so she packed it in the original box and sent it with a short note to the Westclox Company, stating that she was aware that the 12 month warranty period had expired and she was willing to pay a nominal charge to have it fixed. She was thrilled and delighted when she received a lovely letter from the manager of General Time of Canada Ltd. in Peterborough, telling her that a brand new alarm clock had been sent at NO CHARGE! She was so pleased that she wanted us to share her happiness with our readers. — It's always a pleasure to "Tip oor wee Scottish Bonnett" to any reputable firm that keep their customers "happy". I realize from reading your column every week that you get a large number of your complaints from readers who have sent in money to Mail Order Houses and then are left "high and dry" after their cheque has been cashed. Well I hate to be another one, but alas, the same thing has happened to me and since I've been able to get nowhere on my own I wonder if "IMPACT" would be good enough to try for me. The firm is Discovery House, and I ordered, (or thought I did) some sets of knives. The amount involved is $51.11 and my cheque was cashed last April 8th. We have just received a reply from this firm which is as "old as the hills" namely that they regret the delay, but due to an unex- pected demand for this particular item they temporarily ran out of stock, but that a replacement order is now on it's way.

EXETER 235-1220 FUNERAL HOME By Jack Wilson piscipline, mind you, but with interesting overtones. That's basically what the training seetns to amount to. ac- codingr to some people involved in ; the business. Young people whO spend part of their time as mEtribers of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. Cadet Private Dorothy Cun- nirigham, a 15-year-old student at Medway High in Arva, puts it this way. "The training is strict, but it's futV she says. "By getting into it we arrive at a respect for each other. That, and a respect for older people and our country." Dorothy, during the past three yeais, has been a member of the local RCAC. A corps which is jointly sponsored by Exeter's R. E. Pooley 167 and Lucan's 540 branches of the Royal Canadian Legion. The unit, which now has about 30 boys and six girls, and wants more of each, is commanded by Captain Don Lee of Exeter, a former soldier with 26 years of military service. It meets on Thursday nights at Foundation will present organ recital The Exeter District Heritage Foundation is sponsoring a con- ceit" of organ music at the old gymnasium of South Huron District High School which will feature Joe Carlo, renowned for his artistry and versatility on the organ. This young Canadian, a native of Guelph, has appeared in con- cert in every major city in Canada and the USA as well as in many overseas countries. Mr. Carlo has cut five RCA records. He was music director of CKCO-TV for five years and director-producer of music shows at CHCH-TV Hamilton for nine years. His music career started in Guelph as organist and choir director of Sacred Heart Church. At 16 he performed on CBC ra- dio on the national network. He will be playing a wide and varied repertoire of music on a Lorey Symphonic Theatre Organ which hosts! a fantastic array of sounds. Other Lowrey organs will be on display in the gymnasium. Tickets for the concert which will take place October 27 at 8 p.m. are available from all Heritage members or at. Exeter Pharmacy. the recreation centre in Huron Park for two hours of drill and lectures. Citizenship and leadership are two of the most important subjects taught; along with map using, instructional techniques, small arms safety and first aid. "We'd also like to work in other subjects for the cadets," says Capt. Lee. "But we need more instructors, Specifically ex-military people between 40 and 50 who'd like to help. If anyone's interested, they can contact me at 235-0835." But it isn't all work. This past summer, members of the corps spent weekends at Hay Swamp where they com- bined military-style camping with instruction in boatwork, marksmanship and water safety. And this November they'll be go- ing to Cedar Springs near Blenheim for a shoot that may lead some cadets into the annual rifle competitions at Bisley, England. They've also made other trips and tours. Visits to such places as Niagara Falls, and a learning affair at Canadian Forces Base London. At CFB London their day took in the museum of the Royal Canadian Regiment, one of Canada's oldest and most famous regiments, and with which the local cadet corps is af- filiated. Even so, stress is made of the fact that membership in cadets is in no way an obligation to later become a member of Canada's Armed Forces. "What we're driving at," says Capt. Lee," is the importance of self discipline and the ability to get along with people. So that, hopefully, at the age of 19, those people who've been in cadets can go out and face the world with confidence." "For proof," he says, "we've had feed-back, from industry which indicates that cadet- trained employees are a cut above those who've never ex- perienced Yet issues of present impor- tance to youngsters apparently get worked in, too. Cadet Sergeant Jim Harvey of Huron Park, blond and correct in a khaki uniform and red beret, praises the training for helping him learn geography and furthering his interest in sports. Jim has had three years at summer camps. A bonus which may take a cadet to Ipperwash. Ontario, Whitehorse in the Yukon, Vernon, B.C., Valcartier, Que., or Gagetown, N.B. To camps in those places, or at other locations designated by the department of national defence and the army cadet league of Canada; under which the cadet movement is con- trolled and supervised. And Jim Harvey wants to get back to camp. "I'm interested in becoming an athletic leadership instruc- tor," he says. If achieved, 'it would be a figurative flash or feather in Sgt. Harvey's beret. One that would concern knowledge and teaching of basics in the majority of sports. Some of which he's already had a hand at. Soccer. for example, in which he helped coach house-league atom and pee-wee bantam teams here in Exeter over the past summer. Cadet Corporal Sherry Thomp- son of Lucan expresses other values in the training. "Posture," says this 16-year- old lady. And she says it without a hint of banging any gongs about female liberation, or a strife for equality in any other sense. "There's no holds barred in cadets," she says. "We're one with the fellows, and that's good. Drill I enjoy, because it stops you slouching," Sherry has also been to summer camps. At Ipperwash; and she finds it enjoyable. Especially the visit there this summer by The Honourable Pauline McGibbon, Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor. "She spoke to us and said she hoped we girls would work harder to get more girls into cadets. I just hope a lot of people are taking her advice. Being a cadet is hard work, but it's en- joyable. And, luckily, the two things are made to inter-mix." Darling's IGA Store LUCAN NOW OPEN MONDAYS Cadet Private Tom Lessard, a 13-year-old who was a first-week recruit this October, agrees. "Sure," he says. "I'd also advise people to get involved, It hasn't been long for me, but I'm already learning that the train- ing teaches you how to be a better person." Which probably applies to what is happening to the 61,634 Canadian cadets in 966 sea, land and air groups across the nation, Groups with memberships that include 10,229 girls. Yet for whatever else it might lead to, it might be this. Earlier this year some 20,000 cadets were spread over Canada's coasts, through military bases, on the nation's bordering seas, and through tent cities and barracks for summer training. For some cadets it obviously meant an opportunity to polish skills developed to a degree through an instructional year that runs from September to June. To others it likely meant the first time away from familiar surroundings and a first-time experience with homesickness. Eighteen army cadets left Canada for Bisley, England, for the annual rifle competitions. Sixty went to southern Germany, 12 went to Towyn, Wales, for training, and two went to the Barbados with all expenses paid by the cadet league and Air Canada. A reward for graduating first and second from a cadet leadership course at Banff, Alberta. CPAir also provided a trip. The airline awarded an all-expense journey to Hawaii for two army cadets who topped a basic parachutist course at Edmonton, Alta. But trips and rewards of that type. of course, are the sort of things that happen only to people willing to work toward making them happen. Yet the opportunities can begin here at Huron Park every .Thu- rsday evening at 7 p.m. All a local youngster has to do is ask. Provided that he or she is 13 years old, and not yet 19. 2354661 1111111111111111=111111111.

I was under the impression that 01-11B (Quebec Health Insurance Board) would cover us for a full 3 months after we moved, but apparently this is not so, because in our case they only covered us for 2 months and 8 days and I have failed to get a satisfactory explanation from them.. I am hoping that perhaps you people can get them to rectify their mistake or at least obtain the reason behind all this. There is no mistake and here is the reason why! There is an agreement in effect between the various Provincial Health Plans across Canada which state that when a person moves from one Province to another, the original Province will cover the mover's medical needs, up to the end of the second month following the month of the person's arrival in his new Province. In your case then it would appear that the 8 days was the remainder of time left in the first month. Another agreement io effect between Provinces allow for new- comers to receive benefits commencing on the first day of the third month after new arrival date. 433 MAIN ST.
