Huron view ladies meet The Huronview aux­ iliary met in the craft room at Huronview on November 20. In the absence of the president Mrs. A.McNicol, the vice-president, Mrs. Leona Lockhart opened the meeting by reading a poem entitled "Kitchen Magic”. The members then repeated The Lord’s Prayer. Mrs. E. Webster read the minutes of the last meeting and Mrs. Margaret Thorndyke gave the treasurer’s report. It was moved that all bills be paid, this included the new color T.V. which had been presented to the residents on Family Night, November 2. The roll call was answered by saying what part you lik­ ed best at the Christmas dinner. The Christmas Fair has been discontinued owing to many other activities in December. The auxiliary is responsi­ ble for the February birth­ day party and hope to make it a Valentine party as well. The next regular meeting of the auxiliary will be March 19, 1979 at which the officers will be elected for the year. The meeting adjourned and the members visited the residents. Confirmation at Trivitt In Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church, Sunday morning, November 19 four young men were Confirmed by the Right Rev. Geoffrey Park-Taylor, Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of Huron. They were Beverley Genttner, John Nelson, Tom Humphreys and Mark Christie. The Bishop also was in­ vited by the Rector, the Rev. George Anderson to dedicate the Chapel on the South Trancept as “St. Pauls’ Chapel’’ incor­ porating the memorials from St. Pauls Church, Hen­ sall, which recently amalgamated with Trivitt Memorial in Exeter. Clarke Forrest served as the Bishop’s Chaplain. The flowers on the altar were placed there by Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson. Gerald McAuley presided at the organ and at the close of the service members of the choir served refreshments in the Parish Hall to the whole congregation, giving everyone the opportunity to meet the Bishop, and the newly confirmed members. GB people enjoy trip TOTAL FUNDS TO DATE 166,432.26 Calling Exeter “one of the best shopping areas in the region” Tatasciore said th< purpose behind the study was to determine “what’s good about shopping in Ex­ eter’ and how it can be im­ proved. The two thrusts in the preliminary report will be the condition of the facades of the various buildings and the provision of adequate parking. With reference to the parking, Tatasciore said the town and businessmen should work together in its provision. He said one of the aims of the study has been to put down in some concrete form various proposals that have been around for a few years. Tatasciore said a B.A. thesis by David Mackie proposed parking be eliminated from a portion of main street, which was a move he didn’t believe was feasible in the town. Ted Butler brought up the subject of parking meters for main street calling them a "necessary evil.” The Installation of the meters would force parking off the main street and deter tourist traffic, according to George Severn. Tatasciore said his com­ pany had conducted a study on the state of the down­ town core and concluded that the off-street parking should be a walkable dis­ tance. He said the people would be more inclined to stay in the core area if walking dis­ tances from parking were kept to a minimum. The Toronto planner term­ ed the length of the existing business core a “walkable distance”. He cautioned that both pedestrian and auto traffic is needed for a successful business core. One move that could help the core would be the widen­ ing of the sidewalks and sub­ sequent narrowing of street down to the minimum. This would slow traffic which would people to take a longer look at the core, Tatasciore stated. Gerry Gray of the BIA emphasised his group was not interested in the rerouting of traffic as some people had said. He said the group is interested only in what can be done to improve the cof’e area. Gray told the meeting he hoped the study when it’s done doesn’t “sit on the shelf.” He said there is a need for long range planning in the core area. Tatasciore told the meeting there are govern­ ment grants and loans available for downtown im­ provements but "in order to get funding from the various sources ... there has to be a concensus of what people want but frankly I don’t see it yet, but I do feel it’s com­ ing.” Members of .the associa­ tion are paying $16,000 over a two year period for the study.

After en­ joying a walk around to view exhibits and the lovely flowers, the group had tickets to the horse show. This was especially in­ teresting as there was International competition in the jumping classes and Canada was in the lead Friday afternoon, competing against United States, Ireland and several other countries. We boarded the bus at 5 p.m. for the return trip home and stopped in a shopping mall in Kitchener to have supper at a restaurant of our choosing.

The United 'Nations is a changing organization, and when I returned to it this past October for a week of briefings as a Canadian parliamentary observer, I was looking for signs of change since my last visit. In Canada itself, we have seen an increase of U.,N. ac; tivity in recent years. The International Civil Aviation Authority, for one thing, has long had its world head­ quarters here, in Montreal.
