Times-Advocate, 1978-04-13, Page 7gBy ELAINE TOWNSHEND I used to pride myself on being punctual. If I said I’d meet a person at 8 p.m,, I’d be there at 8 p.m. or a little before. Sometimes I’d drive around putting in time, because I’ve heard in this day and age it’s impolite to arrive early. But in the last few years my problem has reversed, and I’m beginning to call myself Lainie Come Lately. My trouble started when the speed limit was lowered. I forgot to give myself extra time to get whore I was go­ ing. As a result, either the speed limit or my time of arrival had to change. I ad­ mit my foot often became heavy on the gas pedal, but then I decided it was bettor to arrive late than never and better to arrive apologizing for being late than fuming over a traffic ticket.

I told myself I’d just have to leave earlier, but budgeting my time proved as difficult as budgeting my money. Instead of giving myself more time to get ready, I seemed to bo get­ ting ready in less time than I had previously needed. And when I left the apartment. I was always puffing. How many times have you slammed your house door, run to your car, driven as fast or a little faster than the law allowed, parked in the first spot you could find, run into a room and collaps­ ed on a chair thirty seconds before the meeting begins? At last, you have time to relax and to think: "Whow, I made it. I never got ready so fast in all life.” Then comes the horrifying thought: "I must have forgotten something! ” You take a quick yet sub­ tle glance to assure yourself that you’re wearing all your clothes and that the essen­ tial fasteners arc fastened. If you can’t excuse yourself to another room to check more closely, you take a mental inventory, relying on memory to tell you whether you combed your hair, whether one eyelid is blue and the other is green, whether you are wearing one earring or two and whether your shoos match. If no one is staring at you and if you don’t hear a chorus of giggles behind your back, you can be fairly I WANTED i TO BUY 1 Antiques | Glass Chinp 1 Brass | Furniture e Jewellery 1 etc. = Please Phone = 237-3380 I COACHLIGHT | ANTIQUES = RR 1 Dashwood *lllllliililiiiliiilliiltiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiU= certain you look alright. Then you begin to wonder what else you could have forgotten. Ironically people often forget the most important things for their line of work. For example, a minister forgets his sermon, a speaker forgets his speech, a secretary forgets the minutes of the last meeting, a student forgets his books and soon. The solution to the problem depends on the per­ son and the situation. Sometimes it calls for con­ fessing, apologizing, rushing home to get the item or fak­ ing it. So far. I’ve been lucky and haven’t forgotten anything essential. The next tjme I’m late, don’t worry I’m just checking.

In this course the par­ ticipants have taken a pattern they already own or a new one and made proper adjustments to ensure a perfect fit for their gar­ ments. Then some members have gone on to re- design parts of their patterns to give a “new” look. This includes changing the position of darts, conver­ ting darts to gathers tucks, adding pockets different necklines sleeves. The members seem have enjoyed this course thoroughly and would like to encourage you to come to their Summary Days. These Summary follows: Ontario Church, Clinton, April 18th, 7:30 p.m. and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Wingham, April 19th, 1978 1:30 p.m. At these programs the women will be giving a fashion show and report on what they have done during the project. As well there will be a presentation by the Home Economist on Co­ ordinating a Wardrobe and how to plan additions to your wardrobe. It will be a very interesting program. You might get some ideas for your own spring outfits. Admission is free. Maxwell House Instant COFFEE 10 oz. jar SHOP AT For Spring! Come On In And See Our New SPRING SELECTION!
