There was an exchange of pulpits Sunday when Rev, Clyde Westhaver, B.A. of the Ailsa Craig, Brinsley and Carlisle Church was the speaker in Lucan and Clandeboye Churches, and Rev. Ewart Madden spoke in the aforementioned churches. Mr. Westhaver spoke on "Men Ought to Pray and Never Lose Heart" saying that sermons on prayers are increasingly rare with emphasis being placed more on social action topics. Corporate and individual prayers have become mechanical and lifeless. He said in order to get over this lifelessness one should go over the day with God once a day.Mr. Westhaver concluded with the question "Are we willing to take risks to become a channel for Christ?

Here is a message of interest for all veterans just received from the Ministry of Veterans Affairs — "Increases in disability pen- sions, widows and orphans pensions, war veterans allowances, civilian war allowances, and other benefits to take effect January 1, 1976, were announced by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, the Honourable Daniel J. MacDonald. The increases in benefits ad- ministered by the Canadian Pension Commission (disability pensions, widows and orphans pensions, exceptional incapacity allowances, attendance allowances and clothing allowances) reflect the 11.3 percent increase in the consumer price index since the last ad- justment a year ago. Increases in allowances payable under the War Veterans Allowance Act and certain civilian allowances payable under the Civilian War Pensions and Allowances Act, which are adjusted quarterly, reflect the 2.9 Bowlers show appreciation The McCormick lady bowlers met in the board room to make a presentation to Mrs. Smith one of the drivers to the Bowling Alley every Friday and who also en- tertained the group in her home on several occasions.

FUNERAL HOME 370 WILLIAM ST, 235-1220 EXETER A couple of months or so ago, I bought a car for cash, which was a private sale. This car has been nothing but a headache ever since. It's once again in the garage, and my mechanic now tells me, that the mileage has been altered. I've managed to get hold of the former owner, but he strongly denies this. I feel that I have been taken . . . what can I do? Unless you can obtain a service receipt from some place where this car had work done, and it showed a higher mileage than when you bought it, then there's nothing that you can do, to our knowledge. When you buy an automobile from a registered dealer, he is regulated by the Motor Vehicles Dealers Act, which means, among other things, that anyone on his staff altering an odometer could cost him his dealer's licence. This also applies to registered mechanics, as well as car leasing firms, but when you buy privately, you "Take Your Chances!" Too bad you didn't have your mechanic check it out BEFORE you parted with the cash. SEE US FIRST 411 MAIN ST. EXETER H&K 5016 FOR ALL SPORT lig OFF YOUR 41ri.

The shoes they sold me were the wrong size, and as a result he got a blister on hi; heel which burst causing blood poisoning. He had to get penicillin shots, but he could have lost his leg, or his life. We think we should sue this company, what do you think? Well, madam, we are neither in the shoe or sue business. To find out if you have a valid case, you will have to consult a - competent lawyer. In the meantime "IMPACT" has contacted this store, not located in this area, we might add. This stare claims that they know nothing at all about this matter, as, ap- parently, you have never bothered to visit, write or phone them, so they are completely "in the dark." They are very willing to discuss this problem with you per- sonally, and naturally wish to examine the shoes in question. This all sounds perfectly logical to us, but, of course, the final decision is up to you and your husband. Exeter Flowers & efts ,;\ ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS BUY OR LEASE Ben J, L. HOOGENBOOM , 235:0 ‘'I' -'''' Fri '''''' ; 509 MAIN.STREET Recently we purchased a Doberman Pinscher pup and sent her to a kennel which was supposed to specialize in all phases of dog training. They charged us $200 cash in advance, for an obedience training course. Well, after a month we picked her up, and she's a lit- tle better than before, but certainly nothing near being well trained. We feel that his $200 was a complete waste of money and have complained% this trainer to no avail. "IMPACT" has investigated this kennel and its owner quite thoroughly, and believe us, his record as a dog breeder and trainer is second to none. He claims that pups are similar to children, some are very bright while others are extremely slow to learn, Your's, unfortunately, was one of the latter, and the trainer produced a paper signed by your husband, that there was no guarantee, and also that he was not responsible for the animal while in his care. His fee is justified, he states, because of the time spent with your dog, e TAY HARP BLUEWATER plus feeding, grooming, etc. ALES AND ,JERvia Specializing in ...
