By PAUL SALMON After a brutal period ofstormy weather we are finally ex- periencing a thaw, and soon, if we keep our hopes high and if the melting process continues, we should be able to prove that somewhere underneath all of that snow there really is a village called Mt. Carmel. Although activities in Mt. Carmel are sometimes not noticed by the rest of the world, life in our little village goes on at a fairly fast clip. The Mt. Carmel hockey team achieved a major victory, February 12, when they upset the first-place Parkhill team by a ,score of 5-4. The last game before the play-offs has Mt. Carmel playing Brinsley February 17. Let's hope that the Mt. Carmel team has chalked up yet another victory by the time readers receive their paper!

One of the highlights of the trip was a tour through Disney Land which is located just west of Orlando.

By MIKE CICCHINI Epp Homes is a group home organization specializing in the care and treatment of displaced and problematic boys from the ages of ten to eighteen. Epp Homes which is owned and operated by Alvin and Margret Epp consists of three homes. Epp Homes No. 1 and the home of Alvin and Margret Epp is located northeast of Exeter, while Epp Homes No. 2 is located north of Ailsa Craig and Epp Homes No. 3 is situated southeast of Dash- wood. All three homes are operated by a husband and wife couple who may or may not have children of their own. Two full time relief staff are also employed to provide free time for the couples. At this time we are also fortunate to have a Fanshawe College student doing her placement at Epp Homes No. 3. The staff consists of qualified child care workers and additional ex- perienced personnel. Presently there are thirteen boys living within the three Epp Homes. Their ages vary from fourteen to eighteen. The boys are referred to us from various Children Aid Societies and Training Schools covering the area from Windsor to Toronto and Walkerton to St. Catharines. two week holiday in ,Florida. Keith Walper, Wallaceburg, and Douglas Walper, Guelph spent the weekend with their Parents, Mr. & Mrs. Harvey Walper, Joanne and Elizabeth. By the way: A minister's wife came home from shopping one day and rather hesitantly showed her husband the $100 dress she had purchased. Completely dismayed, the minister said, "Don't you know you shouldn't have yielded. Why didn't you say, Get thee behind me, Satan." "I did", she replied, "and he said it looked good from there too." Basically our philosophy is that qualified couples acting as surrogate parents and providing a stable and secure environment in which the boys are able to discuss problems openly will in time be beneficial to them. Community integration is essential, In this light we attempt to make extensive use of com- munity facilities ranging from church groups to organized sports to cultural events, We are deeply indebted to the schools in the Clinton and Exeter area and the people in Exeter, Ailsa Craig, and Dashwood who have been extremely helpful and receptive to our efforts. It is understandable that the com- munity would be somewhat wary; but the community has given us a chanceand for this we are grateful. We only hope that we may return the community hospitality by providing a service that may be helpful to any in need. If there are any questions con- cerning our work we would be glad to reply to all inquiries, (351) "Life demands from you only the strength yod possess.

Crediton men's club sponsor speech contest Mount Carmel team upsets Parkhill squad Three Epp Homes house thirteen boys The annual meeting of the Exeter Christian Reformed Church was held on Tuesday, February 10, after being can- celled on January 13 because of a snowstorm. Mr. A. Hummel chairman of the Church Council opened the meeting with prayer and a Bible meditation after which he spoke a few words of welcome. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read by Church Council secretary H. Klungel who also presented a report of ac- tivities and happenings during 1975. There was a small increase in membership during the year although attendance at Sunday- School and mid-week catechism classes was about the same as in 1974. In September our minister during the last four years, Rev. Jack Roeda, left us to take on a new charge in Holland, Michigan. Toward the end of the year a call was extended to Rev. Clarence Bishop from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Rev. Bishop accepted this call and hopes to arrive in Exeter around April 20, 1976, togehter with his wife and three children. Following this report, nine church organizations spoke briefly about their activities. After recess a slide program was presented. This program focused on the Mission Relief and Christian Education work carried on by the churches of the Christian Reformed Denomination.. It was learned that missionaries and relief workers are active in Asia, Africa, South and Central America as well as in Canada and the United States. The world wide radio ministry of the Back-to-God Hour was shown on several slides. The effectiveness of the ministry was indicated on these slides. In Puerto Rico a church was established solely as a result of the Back-to-God Hour broadcast. Next on the agenda was the presentation of the 1976 budget and the 1975 financial statement. The budget was accepted after some discussion and a brief explanation of the major items on the 1975 statement. During 1975, contributions by members amounted to $40,650.00. Of this amount $5,000.00 went for mission sup=port while $8,800.00 was given towards the work of the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee which carries out relief work wherever needed in the world.
