The role of the single
woman has changed tremen-
dously in recent years. A
play, such as The Rain-
maker. is evidence of how it
used to be
Perhaps you saw The
Rainmaker as a movie
starring Burt Lancaster.
The setting was a farm
somewhere in the western
United States on a summer
Role of the single
day in the midst of a long-
running drought.
The main character was a
swashbuckling young con ar-
tist, who aimed to deprive a
farmer of $100 by convincing
him he could make it rain.
As if the farmer didn't
have enough to worry about
with the drought. his only
daughter was almost past
the marrying age and no
prospects in sight.
Poor Lizzie! Her father
and brothers would do
anything to get her a hus-
band - buy him. bribe him.
coax him. trick him. They'd
do anything to save Lizzie
from being doomed as an
"Old Maid." Even a con ar-
Women at Caven
consider reactions
The Gordon Auxiliary of
Caven Presbyterian met
June 9 at the home of Sandy
Strang. An interesting
discussion was held on our
reactions to different
situations which might
confront us in today's
society.
Final plans were made for
our family pool party and
picnic to be held June 28 at
the home of Dave and Susan
Moore.
A decision was made to
assist the Campers
Association by serving a
meal to the Red Cross
Workers at one of the up-
coming blood donor clinics.
Discussion was held
concerning the upcoming
If you're a poor bridge player
everyone hates you and never
asks you back. But if you're a

lot of money then everyone
loves you and you always get
asked back.
Exeter Graduation banquet
and the luncheon for the
Exeter Public School
teachers to be held June 24.
Everyone eagerly tried the
tacos which were served by
the hostess at the close of the
meeting.
Six Gordon Auxiliary
members and one member
from the P.C.W. attended
Ladies Camp, at Camp
Kintail, 17 miles north of
Goderich the first weekend
in June.
The bible study based on
the theme "The Caring
Community", sing -songs,
games, a campfire on the
beach, delicious meals,
sunny weather, and Sunday
morning a very moving
church service held in the
outdoor chapel all helped to
make it a very memorable
weekend for everyone there.
We are all eager to return
next year when it will be the
25th anniversary of Ladies
Camp at Kintail.

tist would be better than
nothing.The Rainmaker's
happy ending was typical for
its time with Lizzie having
the choice of two young men.
In the early part of the
twentieth century, the only
place a lady could go un-
escorted without fear of
damaging her reputation
was the ice cream parlour.
A recently -aired coffee
commercial intimates a
father's mingled sadness
and relief that his only
daughter is marrying
someone just like him -
someone to take care of her.
It harks back to the old
theory that a girl goes from
her father's house to her
husband's house, needing a
man to take care of her.
In today's world, there is a
time and space between the
father's house and the
husband's house when most
ladies are on their own. And.
it is recognized in most
circles, that the ladies can
take care of themselves,
thank you.
When marriage is entered
into, it is a partnership in
which each party assumes
the responsibility of caring
for the other. (Seems as
though it was always that
way in truth. even in earlier
generationswhen the husband
was looked upon as the domi-
nant figure in most
families.)
Being a wife and mother is
still one of the finest and
most demanding vocations a
woman can follow. But. it's
good to live in a day and age

although some still think
they should try. And there
are so many more places to
go than the ice cream
parlour.
Vial of life
discussed
The Exeter Senior Citizen
advisory Group met in South
Huron Hospital Board room
June 9th.
Lossie Fuller reported that
donations to the Town and
Country Homemakers are
coming in well. Anyone who
wishes to donate money
towards the downpayment of
their Wingham premises
may still do so.
A committee was set up to
deal with the "Vial of Life"
program, and to find out
pertinent information. They
will report at the next
meeting.
The "Vial of Life"
program is one in which
people place vital in-
formation about medications
and next of kin in a small vial
that is placed in the top right
of their refrigerator. It is
then available to assist
people called in an
emergency situation.

next one would be held
About every booth had a
different display, leather
pine, ceramics, weaving,
crocheting, dried flowers,
pottery, paintings, wicker,
