She then listed the amounts raised in Exeter in recent years: $8,700 in 4979, 910,400 in 1000, $11,200 in 1981, and when this fall's total of approximately $5,500 is add- ed to the spring revenue of $6,300, 1982's total rummage sale receipts will have set another record. The massive event owes its phenomenalsuccess to the community spirit that motivates the army of volunteers, many of whom are not Atnriliery members. Carloads of helpers come from Zurich, Dashwood, Woodham, Ellmville, and other surrounding villages. This year Grand Cove Estates west of Exeter supplied two stake truck loads of goods, and six workers. Everyone pitches in, because everyone is working for "our hospital". And work is the name of the game. Auxiliary members take two-year turns as rum- mage sale chairmen. This was Mary Fran Gaiser's last year before returning to the children's clothing depart- ment next year. She was hardly home for three days. The chairman and her com- mittee set up required facilities such as tables and clothing racks on Tuesday, Wednesday is pickup day; four trucks shuttle around bringing goods to the Rec Centre and going back for more. All trucks and gas are donated, and all drivers are volunteers. More workers are busy un- packing, sorting and arranging. "We have a great group of men working for us", Mrs. Gaiser said. "Most of them are retired, and I worry because they lift and work so hard". On the big day (by tradition a Thursday) long lineups wait patiently for the doers to open at 10 o'clock , then burst in- side like an explosion in a con- fetti factory. About a dozen men and twenty women (some in their 70 s and 80 s) are waiting at the checkouts, the snack bar, and various departments - shoes, purses, boys' wear, plants, housewares, books - to serve the crowds of bargain -hunters. The lowest price is 10 cents. There seems to be no end to the supply of goods. Fashions change, people die, children outgrow their clothes. Some children's outfits come back year after year, purchased IN THE SEWING DEPARTMENT — Looking after the sewing department at Thurs- day's South Huron Hospital Auxiliary rummage sale were Madeline Witmer, Alma Rundle and Olive Hicks. T -A photo Tiger Times from Stephen Central Hi there! I'm Tony the Tiger and I would like to tell you about a few happenings and exciting events which have taken place at our school since opening day. It did not take long for scurrying students to find their places on that first day of school. Teachers quickly read off the class lists to the pleasure or dismay or the students. Oh well, it only going to be for one whole year. Here are some of the events in more detail. Christie Eveland Oliver - The Playhouse On •the third .day after school had started many of our school went to the Huron Country Playhouse to see the play Oliver. The students and teachers who went thoroughly enjoyed this production. It also brought back many memories as we hadlour operetta only a few years ago. Terri Maurer Camp Sylvan Outdoor education It was Monday, September 20, when the grade eight students of our school left for their/three day stay at Camp Sylvn. Among the fun things we also studied fossils, micro - communities, astronomy, the history of the area,•and even • the weather with Jay Camp- bell, our own local meteorologist. 1 think everyone really enjoyed themselves and would return there at any time. Julie Hendrick Cross country What a day! We had some rain to help us slide to two. team vistories. Our in- termediate girls were suc- cessful in winning the pennant as were the senior girls. We want to congratulate all of the participants but especially the runners who did so well for our school. Already we are looking for- ward to the next inter -school meet. Let's go Stephen Cen- tral Tigers! Joel Lamport Bake Sale for field trip Yesterday, Tuesday, Oc- tober 19, the students of Room two had a bake sale as a fund- raising project. Plans have been made to goon a field trip into Hay Swamp. We plan to go Thursday, October 21 if the weather will allow us to go. We'll let you know more in our next report.

Many of the articles pur- chased at the fall sale are bought with Hallowe'en in mind, and will be seen again at the end of October. This year one mother took home a borg-lined coat; she plans to make a bunny costume for her youngster with the furry lining. Another shopper bought six mid -sixties editions of Playboy magazine. For their antique value and esthetic ap- peal, naturally. A casual flip through the first five reveal- ed only torn edges where the centrefolds should have been. However, virtue has its own reward. The sixth produced an unexpected treasure trove, its own centrefold and nine more tucked between the pages. The Hospital Auxiliary was formed before South Huron Hospital opened officially in 1953. The first rummage sale was held in the hospital base- ment the following year. "We made $1,000 and thought it was wonderful", charter member Leone Brock recalled. Two sales a year have been held for the past 20 years, moving from the hospital basement tc convenient va- cant stores to a long residence in the Legion hall before mov- ing to the spacious Rec Cen- treabout five years ago. Mary Fran Gaiser vividly remembers her introduction to the hospital rummage sale 22 years ago. A newcomer to. town, she was asked to come and help. At first she thought she was in a cattle stampede, she laughed. "We have a marvellous hospital which we wouldn't have without a good board, good personnel, and the com- munity behind it," Mrs. Gaiser says two decades later. "With grants being cut so drastically the hospital needs the extra money to function." All money raised by the Auxiliary has always been kept -in a special account to be used for capital expenditures rather than operating costs. When the hospital board sees a need, the Auxiliary is approached. "I don't think they've ever say No", commented Board chairman Bob Dinney. "And the voluntary work they do is terrific. They run the gift shop and work as admitting clerks in the mornings. We couldn't get along without them." Mrs. Brock listed some of the places the money has gone: furniture in the waiting rooms, the whirlpool in physiotherapy, an autoclave for the operating room, pro- jectors, candystripers' uniforms and Christmas trees to add to the festive feeling at Christmas. "Anything we're asked to get, we get," she said, confir- ming Dinney's statement. Roger Sheeler checked his records for the two years he has been hospital ad- ministrator, and produced in- voices showing money raised by the Auxiliary during that period has purchased 30 hospital beds costing a total of $27,028. (All the original beds have been replaced and more added.) Mrs. Brock has a feeling the Board will ask the Auxiliary to replace patients' chairs in the rooms and wards with more comfortable ones this year. Patrons of the South Huron Auxiliary rummage sales get a bargain in more ways than one. *Perm Special at * � STUDIO '82 415 Main St. Exeter Unisex Hairstyling Walk In or CaII 235-1081 $?Q October 18th to November 13th Shampoo.
