Put a Smile on Everyone's Face . . . • CHICKEN • SALAD • SEAFOOD "Would you turn 300 students loose on your machine?" "If the people at Husqvarna want a testing ground, they have one right here. But their machines are so strong and run so smoothly, they'll never have to worry about results." Beverley Elaschuk, Home Economics teacher Oshawa, Ontario. O FURNITURE LTD. Wain St, Exeter USE YOUR MASTERCHARGE Times-Advocate, February 3,.1977 By ELAINE TOWNSHEND A few questions puzzle me. For example, why does a dentist pry your mouth open, wedge two rolls of batten between your gums, shove his tiny vac- cuum halfway down your throat, prod your teeth with his miniature ice, pick and then start asking questions, such as "How's your car running?" "How do you like this weather?" or "I X'rayed this molar the last time you were here, didn't I?" Why does a doctor ask you where it hurts, press the area with cold fingers, note your flinch and query, "Feel that?" What does a doctor's "Uh- huh!" really mean? "...and so I thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need—the sun and rain and the apple seed...". Johnny Appleseed would surely be speechless at the sight of today's apple products! Of these, applesauce is probably the most popular. Food Advisory Division, Agriculture Canada has tested an "Apple Sauce Bread Pudding recipe" that may be used with canned or home-made ap- plesauce. Applesauce Bread Pudding 9 slices white bread 2 cups applesauce . Why does a nurse use the plural pronoun "we"? "How are we feeling this morning?" "Now, we'll have our bath?" "It's time we took our medicine." Why do the creators of TV commercials think all viewers are dummies? They must think we're dummies. Otherwise, why would they air such stupid promotions? Do they honestly believe the highlight of a housewife's day is throwing a ne* cling-free sheet into her dryer? Do they think women swoon over the map dressed all in white, who's peddling garbage bags? Why are the best shows on television reruns of reruns? When a woman driver passes a male motorist, why does he feel compelled to overtake and pass her? 1/4 cup raisins 3 beaten eggs 1 1/2 cups water 1.2 cup skim milk powder 1,2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind Cut bread slices into quarters, Layer one-third bread into greased baking dish. Cover bread with one cup applesauce and half the raisins. Add another third of bread, remaining applesauce and raisins, then remaining bread. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over top. Bake at 350 deg. F until center is set (about 40 minutes). 6 servings. If we couldn't ask "How are you?" how would we greet people? If we couldn't remark about the weather, how would we break an awkward silence? One fellow, who recently returned from Florida, noted: "The people down there don't know how to begin a con- versation; the weather always stays the same." Why do we complain about the weather? It doesn't db us any good; we can't change the forecast. A green Christmas doesn't seem right, but a foot of snow makes travelling difficult. Why are we never satisfied? Why do we always eat too much at special meals, such as New Years, Christmas and Thanksgiving? Why don't we learn our lesson from one bloated holiday to the next? Why do we make New Years' resolutions, when we know we'll break them? Why do we glorify the warmth and friendliness of Christ- mastime and then forget the feeling for the next twelve months? Why do the years pass faster as we grow older? Why does twenty- four hours seem like only a moment to some of us and like an eternity to others? Why do we think we have to keep up with the Jones? Why are we busier than anyone else? Why are our problems the most difficult to solve? Why is our sorrow deeper than anyone else's? Why is our pain worse than that felt by others? Why, do we take so much for granted, including health, freedom and love? A record number, more' than 360 ladies, attended the 10th an- nual meeting of Huron-Perth Presbyterial, United Church Women held in Northside United Church, Seaforth with the presi- dent, Mrs. Leonard Strong, Egmondville presiding. Particularly challenging was the talk by special guest, Miss Elaine Townshend,Clinton,about the Awareness League of the Physically Handitapped whose aims are to bring about architec- tural, legislative, and social changes to benefit handicapped. It is important for the han- dicapped person to get out and take part in the community she said. This comes from personal knowledge as she herself, born without arms, is now a well- known feature writer and colum- nist. The ultimate goal is that handicapped and non- handicapped participate together and thus understand each other. Miss Ann Reuber, Stratford, spoke on the theme of the day, Citizenship of Two Worlds. She spent three years in Japan in the work of the church but is presently teathing here. TheYeal test of Citizenship, she said, i§ .in what a person does. The test of who you are is in what you do. Being aware of the people close to us and the needs around us makes us citizens of one world, the one right here. Help us to pray expecting something to happen and then let us live with what happens. Mrs. Georgina Wolz, Maidstone, president of London Conference, spoke briefly and in- stalled officers for 1977. She said givings to the Mission & Service Fund are well over the projected amounts. Mr. Dennis Sexton gave an interesting presentation on the "Universal Code System" clarifying many points about this new system of parcel check-out. Annual reports were presented in a novel way, comparing the various departments to the different parts of a dress pattern. All showed much activi- ty during the year with the aux- iliaries being pictured as active, helpful people in the community taking part in many things. Mrs. T. Wilbee, Seaforth welcomed the ladies and Mrs. H. Babensee, Stratford conducted , the morning worship. Mrs. Graham McNee, Dungannon and Mrs. Fred Pridham gave book reports and asked the ladies to visit the literature table, Mrs. E. Cox, Holmesville in- troduced Miss Townshendl and Mrs. I. Close, Seaforth in- troduced Miss Reuber, Mrs. W. Hackett, Trinity Ashfield U.C.W. dedicated the offering. Special music was by Mrs. N. Boulger, Monkton who sang. Mrs. C. Whit- tick, Blyth gave the closing prayer. Mrs. J. Axtmann, Winthrop used a huge special thank you card to give the courtesies. Mrs. Roy Galway, Listowel, gave the nominating committee report. New department headings reflect the change be- ing made in executive set up in an attempt to simplify it, Of- ficers for 1977 are: Past Pres. Mrs. Roy Galway, Listowel; Pres. Mrs. Lepnard Strong, Egmondville; 1st. vice Mrs. Franklin Zurbrigg, Listowel; Recording Sec, Mrs, Elmer Hayter, RR 1, Varna; Correspon- ding Sec.
