The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1977-02-24, Page 5down even though their children were in attendance at a movie that had been given a restricted rating. The question arises as to how many parents would have permitted their children to at- tend had they known of the restricted rating or even if they had been advised that "parental guidance" was recommended. For that matter, how many parents use that guidance when it is recommended prior to a TV show? Do they say there just isn't any way of controlling lt, or do they take their responsibiities as parents seriously? Finally, some of the letter writers point out that most of the students should be given the responsibility as young adults to determine what they can do, To a point, they are quite cor- rect. But with that freedom com- es a great deal of responsibility, because to a great extent they set the standards for the society in which they live and in which the generation that follows will live. Hopefully, they do not assume there just isn't any way of con- trolling it. There are ways, if they have the fortitude to try and the proper implanted standards by which to give them direction, Batrn Around -• Continued from Page 4 Pool canvass underway THEY'RE SMALL, BUT THEY'RE THERE — The tiny tomatoes grow- ing on this tomato plant have never seen the great outdoors as Rev, Bruce Guy and his wife have been growing the plant indoors all winter.

Now they can be discussed and explained and put into their proper perspective in one's life; and the user can be freed from trying to transfer personal guilt feelings to following generations by ac- cusing them of his or her own undesirable immature behaviour, thoughts or feelings. True maturity surely brings with it the ability to screen un- desirable words and actions from the consciousness, and to per- ceive the worthwhile that surrounds them.

I regret it was some time ago, Grand Bend church news The Church of God ladies were in charge of the evening service, Sunday.Mrs. Harold Chamberlain conducted the worship on the theme of "Joy." Marian Snider led the singing and sang a solo entitled, "All my sin." Mrs. Katie Vincent had a reading on Joy. Rev, H. Moore's sermon topic, Sunday morning at the United church was "Grace sufficient." The choir anthem was, `Stand up, stand up for Jesus." The teen age club met Sunday evening in the S.S. rooms of the United church. Mark Willert led in worship. The social time was spent working on banners for the church's 50th anniversary... The Church of God young people sponsored a family night, Friday evening. Some played volley ball in the school and others played table games in the S.S. rooms. They all gathered for devotions by Rev. John Camp- bell. Debbie Snider led the singing and Doug Steckle played the piano. At the close the young people served cake and ice cream. Mrs. Allan Walper and Mrs. J.

What I do remember experiencing, was a feeling of compassion and complete despair for the characterization of the people involved. They existed without hope for their future. The one who tried to help them, and not without some humour, was in the end, destroyed. I do not condone obscene language but that isn't what this film was about. To deny any aspect of the human soul's journey throughout its life time, be it of a mental or physical nature, portrayed on film or in real life, is like asking oneself, "Does God really exist?" A short time ago, a television film "Hen flur", was .advertized. The younger children in our family expressed a desire to see this film. It was a Bibietd type of film and I thought it most wor- thwhile. They had nightmares. Norma M. Pryde RR 1, Hensall We Specialize in Custom Processing, Curing and Smoking T. HARRY HOFFMAN FUNERAL HOME MARKS THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE T. HARRY HOFFMAN FUNERAL HOME, DASHWOOD, ONTARIO recently completed a 40 x 16 foot addition to the ex- isting establishment built in 1942 marking the first residential Funeral Home in the surrounding area, at the time and now 35 years of service to the community. Along side the new wing is a covered carport with sliding end door for comfort in car loading. The one story addition has a full size basement including two modern washrooms and a com- fortable lounge are located on this lower level. A heated garage was also secured in the addition where they house one of their two ambulances which serve the sur- rounding community with am- bulance service. His wife Maude does the dispatching and relays many calls to the north. The main floor has antique style furnishings, a fireplace and some historical stained glass windows. The driveways have been repay- ed this past summer. The Funeral Home is a member of the Associated Funeral Directors, a funeral Organization across Canada and the United States, an organization which can ease the burden when death occurs away from home by contacting us immediately. Harry received his Ontario Em- balmers License in 1934 when employed with the late Peter Mclsaac and also assisted him in the telephone operation and later managed the Hay Municipal Telephone Co. at Dashwood. They later took over the funeral business of Daniel Mclsaac in Crediton after his death and carried the both on until the death of Peter Mclsaac in September, 1939. He then carried on the business for the Mclsaac Estate until June, 1940 when he purchased the business. Harry's father Henry Hoffman had been affiliated with his brother John in the undertaking business before Peter Mclsaac in the days when they trimmed and lined their own caskets. Harry's two sons, Robert and Jim are associated with him in the business. Robert received his Em- balmers license in 1968 and Jim received his in 1971. They also have two licensed Embalmers, Ron McLinchey and Jim Lehman on the staff. They also have one daughter, Mary Jane (Mrs. Jack Taylor) and one son Bill including seven grandsons and two grand- daughters. Harry has been active in musical circles as a Baritone Soloist receiving a number of gold medals and scholarships at Music Festivals in Stratford and Toron- to. One of his highlights was tak- ing' part in the Coronation in Westminster Abbey, London, England of the late King George the 6th and Queen Elizabeth in a choir of over 400 voices in 1937. He was chosen by the late Sir Ernest MacMillan of Toronto. He has served as bandmaster for many years in the local band and the past year as Assistant Band- master of the Dashwood Seaforth Band, He is still active in the Huronia Male Choir, this being the third Huronia Male Choir. Harry is a member of Calvary United Church, and serves on the Cemetery Board and in the Choir for over 35 years. He was also Sunday School Superintendent for a time. His son, Bob is now Superintendent. He is also a member of the South Huron Gideans. Persons are cordially invited to view the new facilities and also to see his collection of antique telephones which he prizes highly.

Stephens David Paul Jack Wiles Dear Sir, 'Nothing is ever a complete loss.' This remark of an old friend of our family, whenever he saw destruction or demolition, came to my mind when I finished reading just now the letters to the editor and the editorial regarding the fiasco in showing the film at the High School a week ago. At least the T-A would not be at a loss to fill its pages this week! Having got that bit of facetiousness off, I want to say that my first purpose in writing is to congratulate the young people who wrote on their ability to express themselves so well. Obviously not everyone going through our school system is illiterate. Perhaps there is hope for the country yet! Together, they convinced this reader, at least, that their decision on the film to be ordered was as likely motivated by reason as by base instincts, The other reaction I had was disappointment that only the high school found it necessary to express themselves on the subject. Were there no adults outside the school community with background knowledge of the incident? Surely young people who demonstrate that they can and do think and behave responsibly should have it made known publicly that their development to open-minded maturity is recognized and ap- preciated. The other kind get plenty of notice, Also, the persons who were responsible for the complaints which resulted in the withdrawal of the film should present their story to the public so that a balanced view can be obtained. Interest in what is termed obscenity and pornography has been and probably will be always a part of growing up. As far as I can see, the only difference from my youth is that four letter words then presented it to me to take home for my tomato plant." When Rev. Guy and his wife were storm stayed in Kippen a few weeks ago for a couple of days they knew all their family was safe but they still worried. "We worried about our tomato plant," laughs Rev. Guy. "There was no one here to water it." Well, the tomato plant aurvived that ordeal and has been thriving ever since. And, as far as Rev. Guy and his wife are concerned, the tiny tomato plant has ac- complished a great feat. "It has broken the monotony of the winter and given us something to look forward to," muses Rev. Guy as he lovingly replaces the plant to its place in the sunny south window of their dining room. HURON COUNTY BEEF February Special No charge for slaughtering.

More letters about school movie Everyone needs something to look forward to other than the next snow storm these days, and Rev. Bruce Guy and his wife of Dashwood have something rather unique to look forward to. The Guys are successfully growing a cherry tomato plant indoors this winter and as Rev. Guy said, "It's almost like being parents. We don't know what we're in for:: 'The plant began accidentally when Mrs. Guy dug some flowers out of her garden to bring inside for the winter, Shortly after that she noticed another plant beginning to grow alongside one of the flowers. "I didn't pay much attention to it at first," says Mrs. Guy. "I just thought it was a weed but I never got around to pulling it out," When the plant grew a little bigger Mrs. Guy thought the shape looked rather familiar so she smelt it and sure enough it was a tomato plant. Rev. Guy transplartted the small tomato plant into a pot of its own and the plant has thrived. "We've fertilized it once and I water it every day," says Rev. Guy, "This window must be the ideal location for the plant that's for sure." The plant has grown to over two feet in height and Rev. Guy has had to prune it to keep it from growing any higher. In addition, Rev. Guy has succeeded in getting the plant to bloom, "The flowers only stay open for about a day," says Mr. Guy, "so you have to check for new ones to pollinate every day as well." Rev. Guy pollinates his tomato plant by using Q-tip. He carefully brushes the cotton end around each flower and moves pollen collected from one flower to another. The system seems to have worked because the plant has at least 20 tiny tomatoes growing on it and the blooms are still coming out. The tomato, plant has caused more than the Guys to have some enjoyment this winter. Rev. Guy explained, "At the last congregational meeting in Zurich a bumble bee came from somewhere and started buzzing around the meeting.
