WAYNNE CHARLTON The marriage of Willi Bedard and Waynne Charlton was shared by their families and friends on February 8, 1986 at Riverview Estates, Exeter. The bride's daughter, Vicki, was maid of honour and Todd, son of the groom was best man. The couple are residing in Exeter.16c Church ladies stage early Indian meeting The Evening unit of Exeter U.C.W. met April 7. Unit leader, Marion Frayne, opened the meeting by reading a poem entitled "It Shows In Your Face." The secretary and treasurer reports were read and roll call was answered by giving the name of a ci- ty or town that has an Indian name. The offering was taken, followed by the singing of a new song "Go Tell Everyone" which had been introduc- ed at the Huron/Perth Presbyterial Annual meeting. Special dates to remember are Sun- day, April 27, 1986 for the Stratford Boy Choir Concert at Exeter ,United Church at 7:15 p.m. and Sunday, May 4, 1986 for the annual U.C.W. anniver- sary service at 11 a.m. Tickets for the Spring Smorgasbord on Thursday, May 8, are available from all U.C.W. members and also at Fisher's Hardware Store. Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at a cost of $5. for adults and $2. for children. It was noted that the Friendship Tea will be held on Thursday May 29, in the afternoon. Special guests will be shut-ins and former members of the church. The devotions and program were led by Helen Coates group. Using the symbql of the circle, the entire meeting was conducted as an Indian counsel or worship service would be, with the leaders in the center and the members in a large circle around them. The Indian medicine wheel was described and the strengths, colours and symbols of the four points within the circle were given. The songs "They'll Know We Are Christians" and "Let There Be Peace On Earth" were sung and Indian prayers were offered. A program designed to acquaint us with the influence of and the in- heritance from the Indians on our modern lifestyle was set up in the form of displays of their worship,. food, words and place names, tools and devices., games and crafts. Con- tests to test our knowledge were en- joyed and short profiles of some pre- sent day Indians were given. Lunch was served by Margaret Truemner's group. Not only birds get nesting feeling "Now is the ambient air fragrant with the smell of turpentine and var- nish; the voice of the vacuum cleaner is beard in the land, carpets are taken up, curtains are pulled down, and married men are eating in restauranta;<." So wrote James Bone, a spring-cleaning sufferer of half a century ago. Mr. Bone may have eaten in restaurants while his wife tore the house apart, scrubbing, polishing and sweeping out the winter's dirt, but not every man is that lucky, including my own husband, who had to be content with cold snacks on T.V. tables for three days. Every year, I try desperately to ig- nore the nesting feelings that begin to stir within me sometime after the middle of February, because I know what chaos they can cause. Even when some of my friends have their living rooms papered, or new tile laid in the bathroom, I resist the tempta- tion of stirring up things in my own house as long as possible. But the day always comes when black birds start telling old tales and making new pro- mises on the birch tree outside my window, when the swaying branches of the willows begin to yellow out by the gate, and the bulbs, that have lain dormant all winter, push their noses throught the brown earth, and then, my resistance begins to weaken. One morning, recently, when the bright sun shone through winter streaked windows revealing cobwebs in the corners, dust on the curtains and smudges of smoke from the wood • stove on the walls, I gave in, rolled up my sleeves, dug out the pails and mops, tore old sheets into cleaning cloths, and called on my husband for help. We started out well... he in one room and I in another, and for awhile we called out cheerily, commending • each other on work well done. But, as the day wore on, and our strength wore out from pushing heavy fur- niture around, and our patience wore thin frons tai much hard scrubbing, By this time, the living and dining conversation ceases... except for the rooms had bete housecleaned, but we occasional terse remark. daren't go near them for fear we'd To make matters worse, this was track in dirt and mess them up again. the year 1 decided to paint the inside And since Art was ridding out the den of the kitchen cupboards (please, re- and had everything in Upheaval in mind to never to do that again!)

Assisting Mary in her endeavors and also presiding as president, is Murray J. Rundle. Paul Hogarth as vice-president, Sheryl DeBoer as secretary and Heather Love as press reporter were the other executives chosen. Other members included Cathy Coates, Cathy Crowe, Heather Browning and Sandra DeBoer. The roll call was answered by all, the question being, "What is your favourite subject and in what three jobs can that knowledge be used daily?" Reading from . the manual, self- awareness, self-evaluation, career - awareness, and career search were discussed as being four areas which require careful thought before deciding bn a career: Murray led an exercise on what values are and how they are deter- mined or influenced. Career Trivia was played with the most fascinating question being, "What 'three careers will be in de- mand by the year 2000?" The answer was: (1) Funeral Director, (2) Lawyer and (3) Psychologist. A Social Insurance Number (SIN I and how to obtain it was brought to light and examined. A career analysis questionnaire was assigned as the home assignment and is to be completed for the next meeting.

' T -A photo clean cupboards, the windows were aU shone, the t uliains were all wash- ed, and the dust and grime removed until the whole house sparkled from end to end. And, even though our backs creaked and our muscles call- ed for mercy, what a wonderful, feel- ing and sight it was! This morning, as we ate breakfast on a polished table which rested on a newly waxed floor, I looked out the clean, unstreaked window to see a pair of •robins busily building theit- nest in a tree close by. The father robin diligently hauled pieces of straw and grass while the mother worked just as hard, adjusting and arranging them in the nest. Hours later, when they had finished, they sat on a limb viewing their work with great pride. Then, they burst into song. Seems to me I know just how they feel.
