The readers write,
Dear Editor,
We would like to take this
opportunity to express our ap-
preciation to the people of
Huron County for their sup-
port of another successful
Huron County Christmas
Bureau project. This year the
Bureau provided assistance
to 292 families including 635
children in ;the County.
This represents an increase
of almost 30 percent over 1981.
This would not have been
possible without the support
of the community.
The Huron County
Christmas Bureau is operated
as an annual project of Fami-
ly and Children's Services
and is designed to co-ordinate
Christmas giving and ensure
that no children are missed at
Christmas.
This project is operated
totally with volunteer help
and is financed by donations
from the community. Family
and Children's Services pro-
vides co-ordiantion and super-
vision and covers operating
expenses as our contribu-
tions. Because of this, the sup-
port of the community is
essential.
We continue to find that the
people in Huron County help
their neighbours in a kind and
thoughtful way, and the 1982
Christmas Bureau supports
this point of view.
The total project was co-
ordinated this year by Mrs.
Audrey Royal of Goderich.
Mrs. Royal began work in
September and donated
countless hours to ensure suc-
cessful operation of the
Christmas Bureau. We are

If old Scrooge were still
around today, I'tn sure he'd
say "Bah Humbug" to New
. Yeai resolutions.
Let's face it, he'd be right.
After all, they're just classic
examples of the old saying
"Rules are made to be
broken." That's why, this
year I didn't make any New
Years' resolutions. And as
Sanuaryaliperby, I -don't have.
to feet: guilty about breaking
any resolutions.
I 'must admit, 1 did think
about making some resolu-
tions. Never said a word out
loud to anyone, though,
because I didn't want the em-
barrassment of getting
caught when the resolutions
didn't work out.
Let's see, first there was
my resolution on getting
physically fit - so far that's
worked out but only as long as
this fitness business doesn't
become hard work. There's
"Trim -a -size- aerobics
classes on Tuesday and
Thursday nights, and curling
on Wednesday nights - that's
about as much of the fitness
craze as I can handle, thank
you. If we ever get adequate
snow, we might get out on the
cross country ski trails. But I
don't know if that actually
qualifies as exercise - usual-
ly you end up so stiff you can't
move the next day, and then
you miss your exercise the se.
cond day, too.
:nost grateful to Mrs. Royal
for her generous and capable
contribution.
This year, under the fine
supervision of Mrs. Ann
Gray, volunteer co-ordinator
of the Exeter Bureau, 75
families (148 children) were
able to enjoy a happier
Christmas. Mrs. Gray, Mrs.
Nancy Rooth and the Exeter
Lioness Club spent many hours
arranging space, co-
ordinating donations and
assisting families.
Without the capable
assistance of people like this,
we would be unable to con-
duct the Christmas Bureau.
We wish also to express our
appreciation to the various
people who were kind enough
to donate space from which
we could distribute goods. In
Exeter, the Exeter Lawn
Bowling Club allowed us use
of space which provided us
with a convenient, central
location. In addition, various
stores and individuals con-
tinue to assist us by
distributing wool to
volunteers to knit mitts, hats,
and slippers.
We feel- fortunate to have
seen again so many examples
of the kindness and generosi-
ty of people in the communi-
ty. Thank you for your con-
tinued support . and
assistance. .
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Peggy Rivers

musings
By Mary Alderson
Hand-in-hand with the
fitness goes the old dieting.
But that shouldn't require a
New Years' resolution - its an
on-going, year round, never
ending battle.
I considered, but discarded
one New Years' resolution as
it meant a complete change of
life style. I had thought over
the possibilities of changing
from a night hawk to an ear-
ly bird. ^" '
But the ramifications of
such a radical change are too
much to handle. Here it is;
1:00 a.m., and I am writing
this column. If I had gone to
bed earlier, telling myself to
get up at 6:00 a.m. to write
this, chances are it wouldn't
get done.
Another stumbling block is
that if I were to make the
drastic changeover in sleep-
ing habits, then I would have
to convince my husband to
make the change, too, or we
wouldn't see much of each
other. Most of our visiting is
done between 11:00 p.m. and
1:00 a.m., you see. At present,
both of us being night hawks
is much healthier - for our
marriage, anyway,
I was going to make a
resolution not to pro-
crastinate, but I decided to
put it off 'til next year.
However, I will try to keep
one resolution - not to be so
long-winded and more to the
point ii, my writing.

for the January meeting of
the UCW which was held in
the Sunday School rooms in
the church. Sixteen members

New Years' Resolution.
Inez Woodburn and Martha
Geromette were in charge of
the Worship service. The
reading "A New Year's
Wish" was given. The Scrip-
ture reading was Matthew 6,
Verses 25 - 34 followed by the
reading, "Facing the New
Year".
Martha told of her visit to
the Holy Land and seeing the
wells of Solomon and Jacob.
The.same wells are still there
and are very important to the
people.
The ladies still carried huge
jugs filled With water on their
heads. Shepherds bring their
sheep to the watering place
before sundown. While she
was there she had a drink
from the well. Following this
reading a New Year's Poem

of the area will be charged
water rates whether or not
they are hooked into the
system. Total billing will
begin in February.
Resident's deadline for
hooking into the system was
December, 1982. Some
residents who prefer to use
existing wells have not taken
advantage of the piped water
from the Lake Huron Water
supply. system.
Foreman Stan'Lovie said
that a three-year proposal for
the updating of street lighting
has been presented to the
village. The village has com-
mended the PUC for the pro-
posal. Replacement of the
fluorescent lighting with
more efficient lighting will be
a priority.
At the meeting there was
still some confusion about the
history of ownership of the
property housing the PUC
building and fire hall and
municipal storage garage.
Since there was no deed of
land on file, the group decid-
ed to get a copy of the deed.
in response to a letter from
the village requesting infor-
mation on total water con-

perties within the village,

Many out
at Hensall
There was a large atten-
dance at the United Church on
Sunday morning when Mr.
McDonald continued his
series of thoughts on The
Fears People 'lave. He spoke
to the congregation of The
Fear of Feeling insignificant,
of how ofteh people take two
different routes when feeling
inferior,withdrawal or acting
like a big person on the out-
side, in order to hide the real
person on the inside. The solu-
tion is to put our trust in God
and be the person God wanted
us to be.
The children's story was
called "Writing Your Name"
and numerous articles were
drawn from the Brown Paper
bag on how we write our
name. But we are writing our
name every day in the way
we live and the deeds we do.
Harold Parsons, Lloyd
Ferguson, Ross Sararas and
Mf Ross were the ushers for
the day and Margaret Cole
greeted the congregation.
Belva Fuss along with the
senior choir led the music for
the service.

committee, suggested that a

tions with federal and provin
cial governments Grand Bend

cupation for water lots in
front of the village so that con-
trol of the lakefront by the
village will be legal. The word
came from the province in
time for the meeting of couh-
cil Monday night.
Complaints from residents

dicated the problem of

use of outboard motor craft
and residents were disturbed
