Roll call was, tell of a challenge which you have had to make, and the motto was ably Treasurer Mrs. Lee gave the financial report and Margaret read the communications. Alice read the scripture, and poem. "A new day, A new challenge" was read by Mrs. McCallum. Mrs. Harvey Ross prepared contests which were conducted by Mrs. Rosserr with Mrs. • which was "Every day is a challenge to try to meet the test." Guest speaker, Mrs. (Paul) Shirley Hodgson, told of life in Nigeria, which definitely was a challenge for a young couple to go to a country where everything is so different from our way of living and every day was a hard day's work. However, Shirley was quite resourceful and used whatever was available to carry on her duties as a nurse, a mother, a wife and good neighbour, so she and her husband did meet their challenge. She showed a lot of slides which gave us a good picture of the country, their home, and how the people make their living, noting that it is the women who do all the hard work. Mrs. Hodgson is Director of Nursing at Craigholme. Next on our program we were treated to two musical selections played by Barbara Daigle on the piano which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Music always cheers up a meeting. Shirley and Barbara were each given a box of goodies by Margaret Wilson as our expression of thanks to them. The meeting continued with minutes of the last meeting being read by Margaret and approved.- Play pproved- Play euchre at Dashwood Mrs. Rader Sunday visitors with Lloyd and Vera Guenther were Jim.

OPP Commissioner Archie Ferguson has ordered this move in the interests of safety and increased Paddling at Exeter P S Grade 5 and 6 students at Exeter Public School enjoyed a special "Pad- dle to the Sea" workshop program on Thursday. "Paddle to the Sea" is a children's book that has been made into a Na- tional Film Board movie. The students read the book and saw the movie, and then engaged in a varie- ty of workshops relating to the story. The story concerns an Indian boy who carves a wooden canoe with a figure in it, and sets it off in the river to get to the sea. It takes several years for the little boat to finally reach the sea, as it encounters many delays and mishaps on the way. However, with the help of some kind- ly people and animals, the canoe finally arrives, and the Indian boy, now a young man, learns of its arrival through a newspaper story. The Exeter children made puppets depicting characters from the story, played with games where correct arithmetic answers earned you a move down the river, drew pictures of story situations expressing the emotions aroused by the tale -- in short. explored the ideas raised from many sides while practising their skills. Their enthusiastic participa- tion made the workshops a success. Shipka couple off to Zurich Mrs. Morenz A social evening was spent Thurs- day at the home of Ross and Nancy Turnbull to honour Ed Turnbull who has left this area to take up residence in Zurich. Mr. Turnbull had been born, raised and lived all his life at his former farm on Hwy. 83 west of Dashwood. About 25 relatives, neighbours and friends attended. Much of the evening was spent in visiting and reminiscing and looking at pictures of bygone days. The gift of a floor lamp was made to Ed from the group by Ross Turnbull. Ed made a fitting and gracious thank you to all. This was a double celebration night for Ed as it was held on the date of his 80th birthday. A birthday cake topped off the occasion. Ed's sisters, Mrs. visibility of patrolling cruisers. "We believe it will afford our peo- ple that extra measure of protection," said Commissioner Ferguson. "It will make our vehicles more visible, and we hope people will see the police cruiser and use extra caution." Studies by organizations interested in highway safety have shown that vehicles using headlights during daylight hours have less chance of be- ing involved in accidents. Those that were involved in accidents suffered less severe damage and injuries. One reason is that a vehicle with headlights on appears to be closer to the other driver. Also, .they can seen more easily in rear-view mirrors on heavily travelled highways or .,t longer distances on two-lane highways where cars are passing. Bus and truck companies have been using headlights in the daytime for a number of years. The cost of using headlights in daylight is minimal, so other Ontario road users could easi- ly follow the OPP example. Commissioner Ferguson said: "Aside from increasing the safety factor for our officers, we believe that a more visible cruiser will prevent traffic violations by other highway users. As a result, our roadways should be safer."
