T -A photo Ladies fellowship group hear about choolers The first fall meeting of the Ladies Community Fellowship was held Thurs- day, Sept: 16 in the Old Town Hall. Coffee and tea were available to all present. Beth Prouty chaired the meeting. Bev Robinson, a school teacher and mother, spoke to the ladies about preschool children. She spoke of things the child does and can do with father and mother at each level of growth and develop- ment. Bev told of the impor- tance of teaching children about God and Jesus and prayer. She gave many sug- gestions. One was giving preschoolers plain paper to colour rather than colouring books. Another suggestion was to start giving children books as early as six months. Pres v res At that age ney can enjoy plastic books with simple pic- tures. Children can be taught to handle books carefully. Many preschoolers can learn to play games with adults; UNO and Dominoes are helpful because the child must count and identify col- ours to play. Helene Cameron told us about a conference being held for community men and women entitled "Rural Women and Mental Health". This conference is put on by the Canadian Mental Health 'Association and The Univer- sity of Western Ontario. For more information call Helene at 235-1774. Pat Britton of Dublin sang many beautiful songs in- cluding "I just came to praise the Lord." Praising the Lord Jesus at all times was her theme. Being thankful in every situation and living in the hope of Jesus Christ, and knowing that God has everything in control helps one to say to God, "Here I am, and my purpose is to praise You in all things". Pat's singing and speaking was based on 1 Thessalonians 5 vs. 16, 17 and 18. The next meeting of Ladies Community Fellowship will be held Thursday Oct. 21 in Exeter Town Hall. Minister- ing to the mentally handicap •ped will be the theme with speaker Ann Klungel of Hen - salt, mother, R.N. and past president of the South Huron Association for Mentally Han- dicapped. A film entitled "We are the church" will be shown. LADIES COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP— A new executive has been elected for the resun ption of Ladies Community Fellowship.

REGISTER EARL Y We need 7 people enrolled to ensure the class will go! Something for all interests Many women's features at fair By Slrley Cooper Come one! Come all! It's Exeter Fair time! This year Wool is being featured throughout the fair. Several specials will be found in the ladies division. They will include a flower arrange.. ment in a wool setting, two woven placemats and an ar- ticle of hand weaving without a loom. The sewing department will also have several specials in- cluding a ladies two piece out- fit and a child's two piece out- fit. In the junior department a skirt will be featured as a special. A display open to any recognized women's club or organization excluding the Women's Institute features the theme "Working with Wool". This display will feature items made from 100 percent wool, a blend of wool or worsted. Let me stress, the articles do not have to be 100 percent wool for any of the above specials. Saturday'afternoon be sure to attend the fashion show at 1:30 or 3:00 p.m. Wool garments from the local stores will be displayed by area models. Spinning and weaving demonstrations will also be in the auditorium for all to see. All departments of a fair are always' looking for new exhibitors. A simple arrange • Changes mad€ for school fair By President Mary Dougall This year in the school fair section we have done things a little bit differently. All of the art, poetry, creative writing and penmanship, as well as the Illustrated Poem Special and the Jerry MacLean Poster Special were judged at the end of June. We feel that this has made it easier for the judges and will make it easier for those helping to get the entries up the day of the fair. You will probably have seen some of the posters in the store windows during the last couple of weeks. Many of these posters were excep- tionally well done and show the quality of work that our students are doing. Entries for all the rest of the specials as well as the classes from A to Q will be judged on Friday, September 24th so in these last few days why not go through your fair book once more and see if there is a class for which you can still prepare an entry. We have tried to include a few more things that will ap- peal to boys in our prize list, so all of you boys out there, don't just look at the word Handicrafts and assume that it is for girls only. On both handicraft classes there is a section for wood- working articles. And how about the baking section, lots of boys are just as handy as girls around the kitchen. Don't let the girls outdo you, let's see your entries. Indoor entries must be in place at the rec centre by 11:30 Friday morning. Livestock should be brought to the agricultural building by 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Entries for the pet classes must be at the agricultural building ready to be judged by 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Once again there is a draw ticket on the inside back cover of your prize list. Don't forget to fill it in, bring it with you and drop it in the box in the lobby of the rec centre. See you at the Fair! Flower shop has display The Flower Pedlar, Centre Mall, Exeter, put on four flower design shows, opening day at Western Fair in the F.T.D. wire service display booth and every show was well attended. All the designers from the Flower Pedlar have just at- tended a teaching, design seminar called "Designing for To -day" put on by the Flowers Canada Convention showing how to design with all the new.tropical flowers available in Canada now, and the newest designs in fall weddings. Mrs. Mary Fleming will be 97 on the 23rd of September. Formerly of Mt. Carmel and is now in St. Marys Hospital, London. meat of three flowers, the same or different, using com- plementary plant material is a special in the flower depart- ment for first time exhibitors only. The wood working class has been enlarged to include wood carving, wood inlay and wood lathe work. This should en- courage more men to enter some of this hand work. Amateur photographers get out your best "action" print to compete in class 44. Will your snap win "the best print of the. show" in class 45? This class is for advanced photographers only. Fair goers be sure to stop by this department to see if you can recognize any familiar faces or scenes. Several new classes have been added to the sewing department. Keep an eye out for knickers; jogging suit, a "nautical" outfit and a Hallowe'en costume for a child. This should prove to be very interesting. Last year we had several pieced quilt tops. Maybe this year we'll see them back at the fair as a completed quilt. The Best of the Show Quilt will once again be held this year. Last year the Best of Show Quilt in Toronto at the con-, vention was from our district, \ very close to home. So come on ladies! Let's have the prize winning quilt from Exeter. A new section has been add- ed to the Special Commercial fruit and vegetable features. The potato will be the new product to exhibit along with the regular stand . bys - tomatoes and apples. - In the junior domestic department this year there'll be seven prizes offered for the best loaf of buttermilk bread. Let's have lots of bread, girls! This year the one layer light cake will be suitably decorated for a special occa- sion. This could include birth- day, anniversary, graduation, the 1982 plowing match, etc. Let's get the cake decorators working! Anyone wishing to learn more about cake decorating will have a change on Saturday afternoon in the arena. There'll be lots of ideas for everyone at this demonstration. Since 1982 is the "Interna- tional Year of the Senior", the flower department offers two specials. One special - the Ex- eter Agricultural Society of- fers prizes for a mantle ar- rangement honouring the "In- ternational Year of the Seniors". ladies section would not be possible' We wish you to ac- cept our thanks at this time. It has also been my priviledge to work with a great group of fair minded ladies to make Exeter Fair a success. Sincere thanks to all of you. See you at the fair.

Good luck! Without the community support and donations the UN trip Continued from page 6 tour of the battlefield of Get- tysburg, a visit to the Corning Ware Glass Museum in Cor- ning, N.Y., and a short stop at Niagara Falls. The whole trip was simply fantastic, both from the educational and social view- points. We visited world- famous sites and learned so much about them. Friend- ships were formed that will last a long time. The United Nations Pilgrimage For Youth was a tremendous experience for me and I would highly recom- mend it to 16 or 17 year olds . who are eligible.
