Times-Advocate, 1982-03-03, Page 12Times -Advocate, March 3, 1982 It isn't easy, going to the sunny south on holidays. Don't let anyone tell you itis. Getting ready for vacation ilia most difficult thing to do. By the time you read thin, we will have returned from our adventure in the south, relaxed and tanned. But as I write this, it is the daybefore our departure, and there's a million things to do. So that's what I mean, it isn't easy to go on vacation. For example, as if I didn't have enough to do, suddenly I have to write three columns all in one evening. Sure, I've known about this vacation for about five months, and there's been plenty of time to get a backlog of columns on hand, but for some reason it just never works out that way. I have difficulty being creative unless I'm under pressure - and I know some readers will think I need more pressure. In that case, this should be a good column because it's getting on into the wee small hours of the morning and I really would like to get some sleep to night. HENSALL & DISTRICT.

For example, writing columns is easier than finding someone to look after your dog while you're on holidays. Alas, poor Pepper, no one wants him. My city -dwelling, apartment living sister thought he might be just too exuberant for her life style, as did others we approached. Pepper will be spending his vacation boarding with the vet. We tell him he's staying at a luxury doggy hotel complete with room service. And while my in-laws refused to take in Pepper, I did manage to unload my budgie bird, Hamlet, at their. house. But even that move required a great deal of work and preparation. First the cage had to be dismantled and scrubbed from top to bottom. Then a supply of food had to be purchased. And finally, Hamlet had to be lectured on not flapping. his wings and spreading his feathers and seeds throughout their house. And then there's the mail - someone has to be lined up to bring the mail into the house each day. Like most folks I have a few complaints about the mail service these days. While I'm not happy about the 30 cent stamp and I don't like the fact that it takes three weeks to get a letter from my friend in Victoria B.C., what really bothers me is our mail box. It likes to hide under snow banks, and it refuses to stay on the Rost where it was nailed. And it leaks. We have caulked every crack and sealed it up tight, and still the water gets in. After a rain, our newspapers are soaked. Have you ever tried to read a wet newspaper? Impossible. In winter, our letters are frozen to the bottom of the box, - and usually come out in shreads. So you can see why it is very important that someone _retrieve our inail from this box each day. Unless we do, the box will devour our mail, and it doesn't differentiate between bills and magazines.

Huron farm, home news Should be best seller A new book about the province's Junior Farmers is sure to be a best seller in rural Ontario. A Rural Legacy - The History of the Junior Farmers' Association of On- - tario is the first book tracing the development of this rural youth organization. The book charts the history of the organization back to 1914 When shortcourses were offered by the county agricultural representative. Later.. Junior Farmer Im- provement Associations sprung into action at the county level. It wasn't till 1944 that the provincial organization was formed. A Rural Legacy describes the ,Junior Farmers' was effort during the Second World War. The group raised more than $11,- 000. and donated an am- bulance, mobile canteen and a station wagon to the Salva- tion Army and 'Red Cross. The book follows the association as it became a respected voice in govern- ment and the agricultural in- dustry. our mail, they might as well check our house. We worry . about a harsh freeze breaking our water pipes. Or we worry about a thaw flooding our basement. You can't win. And if they're coming in to check the house, they may as well water the plants. It's just that with our tropical jungle, that simple chore takes over an hour. Of course, there's still the packing to do. Have you ever noticed that the clothes you want to put in your suitcase require washing and ironing?. So the washing machine's running. I've dragged the ironing board 'out of the closet, and I'm typing in between folding. Then there's the pile of work i brought home from the office, that really has to be completed before 1 go away. It sort of 'makes you wonder why on earth we ever booked reservations for such a busy time. Or would it be like this no matter when we decided to go? in any case, I'm sure we'll be relaxed when we get home. After the mad rush, we'll spend the two weeks sleeping. Bank of Montreal It was a pleasure to be chosen General Contractor kr About one half of the book details the chronological history of the organization. The latter half is a collection of reminiscences and reflec- tions of Junior Farmers' vesterdav ani today.

Heywood conducts service The service of Hensall United Church on Sunday, February 28, was condugted by Robert Heywood of Cen- tralia with guest organist, Douglas Klopp of Zurich. Bob spoke on the impor- tance of using and reading the Bible, The word of God should follme and it will help in spiritual growth. Life today is hindered in six ways - over emphasis of material things, alcohol and drugs, flaunting of sin, rever- sal of right and wrong, ar- rogance, and corruption. We are being weighed in the balance and found wanting. The only answer to the world's problems is Christ. The Centralia quartet, con- sisting ofDougGill, Sam Skin- ner, Bob Blair and Bob Heywood,' accompanied by Mrs. Gill sang four numbers, Help Us To Be Holy,- The Hallelujah, That Beautiful Land and Wonderful Love, br- inging their message in music.

ROBERT LAING CROMARTY The 1st Cromarty Beavers, Wolf Cubs and Boy Scouts were joined by Dublin Brownies and Girl Guides for their annual church ser- vice which was held in St. Patrick's Church, Dublin Sunday morning. The gr ups and their leaders led' the processional and occupied the front pews. Father Carrigan was_ in• charge of the service and spoke hriefly to the boys on the covenants God made with Abraham and Noah, and through Jesus, with modern man. He emphasiz- ed that we can keep our side of the covenant by doing things for other people, thus showing our love for them. and for God. One of the aims of the boy scouts is to do a good deed every day. The scripture from Genesis was read by Cub Stephen Ryan and from est Peter by Scout Mark Cronin The Beaver, Cub, and Scout f'romises were repeated' in unison by each pack and the Beavers sang the Beaver hymn, We Are Little Beavers All. The ushers were assisted in taking up the offering •by two boy scouts, Roger Fell and ('orey Stoneman.

For completing his five stars while in Cubs, Robert Dearing received a plaque with five stars, the district badge, and three of his favourite badges which he had earned. For the programme, Constable O'Rourke in- troduced his German shepherd tracking dog, Trapper (who was not a head table guest) and explained the steps in training him. Trapper then delighted the boys by demonstrating some of the skills he had learned including sniffing out a trail made by a pouch of pot.
