You hunt madly for your scraper to remove the frost, knowing the next time, it might be snow. You know another winter season will soon be upon us, when you find yourself hurriedly raking leaves, for fear they will still be laying on the ground when a blanket of snow arrives to cover them. Or you are sure another winter season is here, when, early one morning, you grope your way to the kit- chen in the dark to get a glass of orange juice. Just as you almost reach the refrigerator, you stumble over something big and lumpy in the middle of the kitchen floor. Fortunately the big lumpy thing provides a cushion for your fall. Your nostrils twitch. Yes, you know another winter season is well un- derway, when you fall on top of a pile of hockey equipment spread out on the kitchen floor to "air". Unfortunately, that means the kitchen will need airing, too. And that's when you make the rule - hockey equipment is to be aired in the basement from now on. This makes getting supper ready a little more challenging. To get food from the freezer, one must climb over or crawl under an obstacle course of hockey equipment. Keeping the hockey equipment in the basement also serves another purpose. The dog will find it a more comfortable sleeping place than his own little bed. He will curl up on top of the equipment bag, making a limited to 65. After the tree has been decorated refreshments will be served. A wide variety of materials are available to the readers in our area. There .are, over 160,000 books in the Lambton County library system, and there is something about nearly every project, pastime. Inter -library loans allows these books to be circulated within the county. Material can also be received through a co-operative network with other Canadian public and university libraries. Many of our users are peo- ple that are taking college or university courses. For them the county library is often the only source of materials. Many of them have said that they obtain books through the County which other students in larger cities cannot get. The library also offers large' -print books, taped talking books, and service to shut-ins. Mary's musings By Mary Alderson nest out of sweaters, socks and lumpy pants. I While most of you know that Saturday night is hockey night in Canada, what you may not know is that Thursday night is hockey night in Thedford. But, Thursday night is also column writing night at RR 2 Grand Bend. Fine, I said, you go play hockey, dear. I'll stay home with typewriter. Well, the exhibition games are over, and the regular season play is underway, and I've managed to miss every game; so far. That's not to say I don't know exactly what's been happening to the Arkona A's when they don their skates each Thursday night in Thedford arena. You see, I get a play-by-play after every game. It's rather like going to bed with Foster Hewitt. Sometimes, my column has long been written, and I've already gone to bed when my hockey hero comes home. I awaken to hear the words "Guess what?" whispered in my ear. If he's scored a goal, I hear the details of that first. Next, I hear about the poor refereeing, and all the stupid penalties assigned. Frequently, as of late, I have been hearing more of the latter, and less of the former. Finally I hear the final score of the game. I try to respond to his excited descriptions of puck passing, and details of face- offs. "Oh yeah?" "Zat so?" "Mmm-hmm," I say as I try to stay awake for the stories. So that does it - maybe the column will have to bea little shorter this week. I'm going to the game. After all, I'll only get a slanted version when he gets home. Anyone interested in sew- ing can choose from 1500 new patterns that were donated to the Grand Bend branch this summer. Many weekly and monthly periodicals can be borrowed as well. Because of the many ser- vices provided, residents find that the Grand Bend library is an inexpensive source of pleasure and infor- mation.

Anglican Church news Dr. Fox, from Huron College in London was the minister for Holy Commu- nion service for All Saints Day at St. John's Church on Sunday morning. In his ser- mon Dr.•Fox stated that the importance of All Saints Day has been recognized in the world for centuries - before Christ and after Christ. He pointed out in the New Testament in Paul's letters that God called all his people Saints - the Christians made a commitment to God through Christ. Dr. Fox told us we can do the same if we believe, "in the fellowship of God's people" all of them, all over the world whatever their culture, colour or creed. We are still one with those who have gone before us, we are still with them in the Communion of Saints and look forward to being with them again in our love of God. Coffee hour hostess follow- ing the morning service was Mrs. Blanche Mof-rice. The ladies group of St. John's will hold their regular meeting Thursday after- noon, November 5 in the CLASS PORTRAIT -- It took a little bit of coaxing, but eventually this group stood still Ione enough to prove witches, skeletons, pumpkins, bunny rabbits, and cowboys aren't really all that storey.
