By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
In this space, I am going to
try to turn over a new leaf or
maybe I should say a new
snowflake.
It all started with a recent
letter from a friend, who
lives near Windsor. She was
overjoyed because it had
been snowing for days. She
and her husband no longer
had to pack up the kids and
the snowmobiles to head
north to enjoy their favourite
winter sport. They could
enjoy it at home.
Her exact words were: "I
hope it snows like this all
winter. I love it!"
Winter cynic that I am,
my immediate response
was: "I'd ship you a couple
more tons of the white stuff if
I could."
Today I found a verse in an
old Farmers' Almanac.
Stephen Schlitzer wrote
Odds 'n ends
New snowflake
"Morning Report: The sky is
dull and cheerless, The
clouds are black and many;
The day looks like a dismal
flop, And I'm not helping
any!"
I realize my attitude
toward winter is no better.
If I consider only the
negative parts of the season,
the January and February
Blahs are bound to get me.
But, if I count the positive
aspects of winter, I might
even find it enjoyable.
Come on all you shivering
cynics. Have we forgotten
the challenge of protecting
from intruders the snow fort
we had built ourselves?
Have we forgotten the
exuberance of sticking Dad's
old pipe into a snowman's
face? (At least, we always
thought it was Dad's old
pipe.)
Have we overlooked the
thrill of those downhill
toboggan runs in the fields
behind the barn? Have we
forgotten the fun of clearing
off the pond on the neigh-
bour's back forty?
Of course not! We may
have lost some of the energy
and enthusiasm, but we

haven't forgotten the fun. It
was the best part of being a
kid in winter.
Society has become
sophisticated, and kids have
indoor rinks for ice skating
and hockey now. We still see
a few back yard rinks,
though, complete with
bumps. We also find some
kids playing street hockey,
but in today's traffic, it
hardly seems safe.
In the Almanac, I also read
a story that described
Canada as a winter won-
derland. Corny as it may
sound, it's true, and this part
of Ontario is no excpetion.
We are blessed with
hundreds of kilometres of
natural and manmade trails
for snowmobiling, cross
country skiing and
snowshoeing. If downhill
skiing is your sport, the
length of drive required
depends on the height of hill
you want. (For some of us,
the drift in the back yard
will suffice.)
The ice fisherman, who
wants to get away from it all,
can find a perfect spot within
a three to six -hour drive. He
can rent a hut, pitch a tent,
drop his bait and think about
nothing but the delicious fish
supper he'll have. I wonder if
ice fishermen sometimes
resort to cans of pork and
beans the same as summer
campers.
Those of us, who are less
involved in winter par-
ticipaction, can still savour
the beauty of the season. One
day, for example, not a
breath of wind stirred the
snow that laced the tree
branches from the night
before. On another day,
brilliant sunshine sent frosty
crystals dancing in the air
like the fireflies of summer
evenings.
The nights of winter may
be long, but they don't seem
as dark as other times of the
year. How could they with a
blanket of white on the
ground and moonlight and
stars reflecting frosty gems
in the fields?
The more I think about it
the more convinced I am
that winter is not such a bad
season. Of course, I haven't
heard any weather reports
today; I've only admired the
view from indoors, and I
haven't measured the
amount of snow and ice on
my car windshield.
There I go slipping back
into my old negative ways.
I'll just have to try a little
harder to turn over a new
slow .k

Exeter church women plan

Evening UCW was held
January 12 in the primary
room. Unit leader Mrs.
Elsie Tuckey, welcomed all
hoping everyone had a good
1980 and all the best for the

You for the New Year was
read.
Mrs. Mavis Athill reported
for the Christmas com-
mittee and what had been
purchased for the Group
Home at Christmas time. A
lovely thank you card, had
been received, from the
Southcott residence and was
read.
Coming Events: General
meeting, January 19 at 2:00
p.m. Annual meeting,
January 25 after church. An-
nual meeting for Huron
Perth Presbyterial for
leaders only is January 26,
April 13 is the regular annual
meeting of the Prebysterial.
A motion by Mrs. Ada
Dinney to bring a friend to
February meeting seconded
by Mrs. Helen Coates and 29
ladies paid their dues for
1981.
Mrs. Elsie Tuckey thanked
everyone that had helped in
any way to make 2980
another successful year for
the Evening UCW. Mrs.
Mary Fisher thanked Mrs.
Tuckey for her leadership.
The worship was led by
Mrs. Ada Dinney and the
theme was the song, They'll
Know we are Christians by
Our Love./
As each verse was sung in
unison, Mrs. Dinney provid-
ed the follow up through Bi-
ble verses and examples.
Mrs. Marion Porter read A
New Years Message. Mrs.
Lula Floody read I Heard
Something, Good about you
to -day.
Everyone in Mrs. Mary
Fisher's group was asked to
start the sour dough recipe.
Everyone was willing to try,
Responsibility on your
shoulders is better than a
chip.
Children are a comfort in
old age -and quite often they
help us reach it faster.
Kindness is 'one language
the dumb can speak and the
deaf hear.
Some people's idea of
dieting is to have black
coffee if they have icecream
with their pie.
same as our love we give it a
try. Each lady received a
copy of the starter dough
recipe and was asked to take
it home and make it grow.
As compared to love it has to
be fed to grow.
Sour dough if cared for
will last forever same as
love. Sour dough can be
stopped by freezing but once
thawed must be added to.
Don't keep our love frozen,
keep it working every day of
this New Year.
A delicious lunch followed,
served by Mrs. Alice
McLean's group.
