His; theory sounded satnething like this: "People can be divided into two categories - turtles and race horses. If you feel like a turtle, don't run like a race horse. Even if your neighbour expects it, don't run like a race horse when you feel like a turtle." My interpretation of his statement is that each of us should follow our own inclination and live our -life in our own way. We shouldn't try to emulate our neighbours. What a relief' We ddn't have to keep up with the Jones'. after all. 11'e can just be ourselves without feeling guilt or shame.

How much easier life would be if we didn't gauge our ac- complishments according to the achievements of other people.Contentment lowers the stress in our lives. Unfortunately many of us don't practice this "just be yourself" philosophy. We feel dissatisfied with our lives. A part of human nature drives us to imitate others. We copy the example set by the Jones'. We do what the Jones' do: we go where they go; we buy the products they buy ; we strive for a similar position in society. . If the Jones' run like race horses and if we are inclined to poke along like turtles. we'll never catch them. The race will only exhaust our energy. If we did succeed. we might discover the- Jones' life isn't as glamorous as we presumed. Besides, their lifestyle would seem unnatural for us. and we would become phonies. Although most of us acknowledge that fast, we still fashion our lives according to the standards of other people. We attempt to follow in the footsteps of our relatives, friends, neigh- bours and fellow workers. In our struggleto keep pace, we often stumble; we 'experience discouragement. frustration and irritability. We belittle our ac- complishments. Because we sometimes resent the triumphs of others, we can't share their happiness. Envy stirs a bitter brew. If our strides don't match those of our associates, we feel inferior. But why should we' Why can't we he satisfied with our achievements" Why can't we accept our individuality? Let's_ face it; we aren't all meant to be race horses. If everyone was created iden- tically, the world would lose its variety. Life would become boring. We should realize that each person possesses his or her own purpose. interests. opinions and style. Each of us uses a unique method to reach our goal. A system. which works perfectly for one person. may be unsuitable for,someone else. ;}cti .of ,us will fulfill our lie's design in the manner that is right „focus and at the time that is right for us. Let tht race horses gallop; we turtles will plod along. Do you remember the story about the tortoise and the hare? Don't worry turtles. we'll get there too FINE FASHIONS — Mary Ellison models a dress, while Elizabeth shows what a pant suit looks like on her.

The guest speaker will be Rev. Henry Van Essen, of that church. Services are scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. The minister's wife is the local organizer of the day. She said services the same as- the one being held here will be held all over 'the world. "It is a chain of prayer," said Mrs. Van Essen, "a 24-hour prayer vigil." She said they will be praying for peace and the needs of other Christians. According to Mrs. Van Essen., it used to be that the World Day of Prayer was only for women. However, she said, this year they are being more general, and men are welcomed. In keeping with the unity theme, each church in Exeter has been invited to the service. Mrs. William Middleton, a committee member from one of the chur- ches, said each church will ap- point a committee. Each com- mittee, she said, will be in charge Senior Citizens Club hears Justus group The Senior Citizens Club filet on Tuesday .at the Canadian Legion with about 80 members present.

This year's service has been written by the Womens Com: mittee of the National Christian Women of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Last year's service was written by the Womens Com- mittee of the National Christian Council of Japan. Each year, a different international church group writes the service. The theme of the World Day of Prayer also changes each year. This year's theme is "Become Perfectly One". The establi5he4 emblem of the World Dap -6f Prayer is hands surrounding a flame. Both Mrs. Van Essen and Mrs. Middleton are hopeful that this year's attendance will equal or better last year's attendance of 120. • 6 • • • CONTINUES THIS THURS., FRI. & SAT. • OFF ENTIRE STOCK Except Patterns and Red Tag Specials Polka•Dct Main St., Exeter Mon. - Thurs., Sat. 9 --- 5:30 Friday 9 -- 9 Open Wednesday • CHARGEX • Support the Exeter Brownies and Girl Guides AS THEY PRESENT A PREVIEW OF Spring Fashions For EVERY Member of Your Family 7 Carousel 1: of Color Tues., March 11 - 8:00 p.m. ( SOUTH HURON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL Tickets Available At Our Store or Phone 235-2026 or 235-2044 It's Our Pleasure To Assist This Project By Providing The Fashions For "Carousel of Color' FLOOR COVERING • WALLPAPER FAMILY CLOTHING • DRAPES • FABRICS witow-"W EXETER'S the LARGEST DEPARTMENT STORE Juncti NOW OPEN 6 DAYS A WEEK & FRIDAY NIGHT FORMERLY GOULD & JORY • f r- (4-.
