Times -Advocate, October 19, 1978
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
Some people use the eaten- -
dar to note the change in
seasons. One season ends
and -another begins at a seer-'
tain time on a certain date
each year.
Other people read the
natural signs of the changing
times For example. Labour.
Day and back to school
means the end of summer
for many. while others wait
.for Thanksgiving and the
-sight of c.orn stalks.
coloured leaves and ripe
pumpkins. to declare that
fall has officially arrived
Lesson in patience
Although the first snowfall
usualh heralds the begin-
ning of winter. many people
are thankful for the respite
given by Indian summer - an
interlude between fall and
winter
For some people. spring
comes with Easter or with'
the greening of the grass Qr
the blooming of daffoci
tulips and crocuses
Summer starts for many
when -school ends or when
the 'hot weather conies to
stay . -
As far as I'm concerned.
winter starts at a different
time each year It happens
on the first cold morning
that my car refuses to start
Winter 1978 79 began -for me

There was no trace of snow.

sputter. shifted from park
into reverse. felt the car
shudder and listened to the
motor die.

shivering in my frosty buggy
for tel or fifteen minutes -
with my breath vaporizing
around me My foot pressed

Sometimes I was fooled. I

attend conference
Education is everyone's
business:- a never-ending
process of, teaching and
learning. About life. About
love. About work. About
health.
More than 300 men and
women from across Ontario
learned more about health
and volunteer work in this
field when they attended a
two-day conference called
'78 Education Update, held
recently at the Prince Hotel
in Toronto.
Consisting primarily of
workshops, the gathering of -
Education volunteers served
many purposes. The
volunteers received ad-
ditional new material to -the
Society's 'Celly' and "4-6
Kit" programs as well as
witnessing the debut of The
Kit (a guide to decision-
making and health for
grades 7-8). They also
participated in "refresher
courses" on the adult
education programs along
with tips on effective public
speaking and a review of the
use of film equipment.
English and French editions
of the revised Education
Manual were also
distributed.
Dr. Alan Bernstein from
the Division of *Biological
Research at the Ontario
Cancer Institute was one of
the gest speakers. Dr.
Bernstein outlined the
various aspects of cancer
research Ind the progress
being made in each. Another
guest speaker was Rosanne
Laflamme, once crowned
Canada's Handicapped
Athlete of the Year.
Those in attendance were
also treated to a unique
magic show.
Attending the conference
from this area were Lauretta
Siegner, education chairman
for the Exeter Unit and Mrs.
Marjorie Pollen.
Miss Siegner said,
"The workshops provide us
with answers to our
questions about the Society
and our role as an Education
volunteer. Listening to
speakers and participating
in workshops enables us to
keep in touch with what's
happening in the field of
education and with one
another." -
