Robins and daffodils? Or, rain and mud? The days are longer now, and each morning the songs of the birds sound louder, contrasting the silence of We winter dawns. Robins, wrens, blackbirds and a few bluebirds gather twigs for their nests, Shoots of new grass sprout through our matted lawns, while crocuses, snowdrops, tulips, daffodils and hyacinth colour our flower beds. Inside bouquets of pussy willows decorate our tables. The tiny buds on the tree branches remind us the cherry and apple blossoms will soon bloom4and leaves will cover all the trees. Children exchange their skates for baseball bats, skipping ropes and bikes, Jackets and running shoes replace bulky coats and boots and encourage mothers to send the children outside to play more often. An arrangement that usually pleases both parties. Unfortunately, few adults are as carefree as the children, and we have little time to observe spring's effect on Nature. We thought we were busy during the winter, but compared to spring winter was a vacation. For homemakers, spring means housecleaning time. Dusty curtains come down, sometimes falling on our heads; clotheslines sag under the weight of sopping blankets, and mops occasionally knock over pails of dirty water on floors that have just been scrubbed. The contents of junk drawers are sorted and inevitably stuffed back in. Although the sunshine brings cheer, it also draws attention to our dirty windows. Most men complain as much about removing the storms, as they did The monthly meeting of Senior Citizens was held Tuesday evening with 65 members present in the Legion Hall. Euchre was played for an hour. Honorary Joe White, who retired as president, opened the meeting thanking all those who had helped him during his long term of office and filled in when he was unable to be there. A hearty thanks was expressed to Joe for his untiring efforts driving from Seaforth to take charge of the meetings. Mrs. A. Rundle the newly elected president for this year took over the position for the coming term and announced that Co-op nursery to incorporate Interest continues to grow among Exeter parents for a co-op nursery school and plans are to rent a room from Exeter United Church to house it next Sep- tember. At a meeting held last week at the home of Mrs. Janet Hern, Huron Street East, it was decided to conduct a two day and three- day program if enough children are registered. Parents may register their children beginning right now by contacting Mrs. Hern and paying a family registration fee. Monies received from registrations will be used to pay for equipment and to join the co-operative nursery council. Sponsors of the co-op nursery school are now in the act of ap- plying to be incorporated under the day-care nurseries act, Next meeting of all interested parties will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grey, corner of Edward and John Streets. about putting them on last fall. Hockey play-offs and the beginning of the baseball season on TV seem to run interference with the outside chores. To ensure the unhampered growth of the spring bulbs, gardeners rake bushels of dead leaves and weeds from the flower beds. Last month's ice storm, which left twigs and branches scattered over our lawns, created a bigger clean-up job than usual for this spring, The green grass indicates the lawn mowers will soon be needed. Meanwhile the farmers repair the fences that broke under the pressure of the snowdrifts. They also unload their orders of seed and fertilizer and haul machinery out of the implement sheds — plows, cultivators, disks, harrows, drills, planters and extra tractors, When all the machines are strewn over the yard, it's difficult to understand how they could all be stored in one building. I wonder whether such a feat is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records. The April showers, that bring the May flowers and make the pastures grow, also cause clogged sewers, flooded basements and washed-out sideroads, Most unpaved streets and graveled roads contain ruts, into which our cars disappear, Getting stuck in the muck is as much a part of spring as listening to the robins sing. As you scrape the mud from your shoes, consider the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: " `Tis not in the high stars alone, Not in the cups of budding flowers, Nor in the redbreast's mellow tone, Nor in the bow that smiles in showers, But in the mud and scum of things There alway, alway something sings." Mrs. H. Love would be unable to take charge of the musical part of the program on account of other commitments. Andrew Orr took charge and he and his brother James from Parkhill and Mrs. Broadfoot of Brucefield supplied some en- joyable numbers, Andy on saxophone, Jim on violin and Mrs. Broadfoot on piano. Mrs. P. Merkley read the new slate of officers. The new president extended an invitation to all Senior Citizens of Exeter and surrounding district to attend the meetings, held the first Tuesday evening of each month unless otherwise notified in the Legion Hall. The ladies of Caven Presbyterian Church served lunch. The federally administered Unemployment Insurance Plan is now in harmony with the pregnancy leave provisions of the provincial Employment Stan- dards Act. As of February 15, 1976, unemployment benefits can be collected in a flexible distribution before and after a woman gives birth. The change comes as result of the passage of the Omnibus Bill by the federal parliament, which amended eight pieces of legislation af- fecting women. Since the first of January, 1975, any Ontario woman who qualifies for preganancy leave has been permitted to take a 17-week leave beginning as early as eleven weeks before the birth or as late as the day before the baby is born. Most women prefer to take the bulk of their leave after the baby is born, to enable them to spend as much time as possible at home with the infant. However, in order to collect the maximum allowable U.I.C. benefits, which is 15 weeks, women were previously required to stop work ten weeks before their due date. They could then collect eight weeks of benefits before the birth and seven thereafter. Now benefits are available for a total of 15 consecutive weeks, beginning as early as eight weeks 14,011%.0%,""."..00%,""4.0"...0%,"4"••••••" SALE • Swags • Table Lamps • Pole Lamps • Fixtures of all kinds Ainsley, Royal Albert China Waterford Crystal HOTSON LIGHTING 1 Mile North GrandBend Hwy. 21 238-8240 before the birth or ending as late as 17 weeks after. There is flexibility within this 25-week period. Women can now exercise their rights to a flexible leave under provincial law without being penalized by federal law. It is important to note that maternity benefits, unlike some other types of U,I.C. benefits, are available only during an initial benefit period. Such a benefit period starts any time a person goes on claim and ends 29 weeks later. When the benefit period expires, you are ineligible for maternity benefits unless you have a further 20 weeks of en- sured employment. Many women have been surprised and angry to find themselves disentitled to maternity benefits because they had collected U.I.C, benefits just before or during the early weeks of their pregnancy. One woman working in a large hospital wrote the Women's Bureau to say that by collecting $175 during her second month of preganancy she had unwittingly denied herself $1,500 in maternity benefits. Under the old rules, there was no available remedy in such a situation. Now the old claim could be terminated and a new one set up provided that the expectant mother had at least 20 weeks of insured employment during the year before the birth, ten of which fell between the 30th and 50th weeks before her due date.
