Putting coveron the old typewriter Just over 18 years ago I wrote my first column, I had just applied for the job as Women's Editor with the Ex- eter Times Advocate, and when the editor called me in to tell Die I had ac- tually acquired the job I was ecstatic... that is until he informed me I would also have to write a weekly column! To say that that fact non pulsed me is putting it mildly, but since I wanted the job there was no way around it. I was a very green writer, indeed, but a good friend clipped every one of those first columns and stuck them in a scrapbook for me. Now, when I glance over them I'm slightly embar- rassed by their clumsiness. Too long, with too many words, they were cer- tainly not the model for a succinct column. However, I like to think they did im- prove, in time: and in those days we still had all our children living at home so there was plenty of material. I had to be very careful, of course, not to embarrass the kids, and one of my sons often accused of 'lying a lot,' especially if he happened to be the subject of a column. I don't like to think I actually lied, but I may have taken literary licence on one or two occasions. The old column was called Facts columnist. and Fancies and although it probably I missed it, though, and every once was more fancy than fact, it did go on in a while I'd find myself writing a for five or six years. Then I switched marvellous column in my head and It Seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith to a kind of religious -inspiration col- umn called Singing Waters. The name came out of thin air when the editor suddenly demanded what I was going to call this new brain child of mine. "Singing Waters, "I answered glibly. It just happened to be the name of a retreat centre I'd heard about and the name simply flowed out of my mouth, although for the life of me I never could explain why I thought it suitable for a weekly column. In any event, it a1wk < isemed to me that the years I wrote Singing Waters were my best as a columnist. However, eventually, the waters ran dry, and I folded up my career as a Kirkton flower -show attracts many entries There was a good showing of flowers at the Kirkton Horticulture Society on August 19 in Kirkton Woodham Community Halla A fair crowd came to see a good display of flowers and enjoy the program. Mrs. Joyce Strahan welcomed everyone to the Show. She also men- tioned that this is the 40th year for the Society. Joyce was also chairlady for the program. Mrs. Marjorie Johns favored with several numbers on the piano. Mrs. Evelyn Wiles introduced the speaker Mr. Marty Klomp, St. Pauls.

HELP AVAILABLE People with hearing or speech disabilities now have easier access to telephone service for Ontario travel information, announced John Eakins Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation. The Ministry has installed. a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf, better known as TDD, which enables the hearing impaired to make telephone calls using regular telephone lines. The TDD operator converses via typed messages that appear on a visual display area above the keyboard. "The installation of the TDD is just one of the steps the government plans to take in responding to the needs of the disabled," Eakins said. Anyone with a TDD can request On- tario travel information by calling (416)965-6027. wish I was back on the job. Finally, after a few years of silence, I ap- proached the editors of the Exeter and St. Marys weeklies and asked if they would like a column written from the senior side of life called, It Seems to Me. They graciously complied, and for almost three years, now, I've been heading to my ancient typewriter, once a week, to bang out another column. On the whole it's been a good three years. I've made more friends, and been greatly encouraged by the number of people who've stopped me MR. AND MRS. PETER LEMIEUX Susan Mary Fleming and Peter Michael Lemieux exchanged marriage vows June 14, 1986 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church with Father H. Fleming, uncle of the bride officiating. The bride is the daughter of Greg and Jean Fleming, Mount Carmel and the groom's parents are John and Joan Lemieux, Ottawa. The maid of honour was Donna Dawe, sister of the bride and bridesmaids were Angela Flem- ' ing, sister of the bride and Barb Vella and Melonie Martin, friends of the bride. Best man was Peter Foy, friend of the groom and guests were ushered by Paul Lemieux, Michael Flem- ing and Dan Jackson. Flower girl was Alison McLachlan, niece of the bride. Special music was pro- vided by Janet Krahn and John Farwell. After a wedding trip to Jamaica, the couple is residing in Scarborough. Photo by Beta Studios on the street or taken the time to call to tell me they've enjoyed something I wrote. Only once did I get into hot water over something I said in the col- umn, but after an apology for my in- discretion, the hot water soon cooled off. Most columnists admit that finding a fresh subject each week can be try- ing, and most also confess to times when they feel they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. And that's where I find myself, right now. So, it seems to me, it's time to move on to something new and different; but before I do I would be very remiss, in- deed, if I didn't thank my editors for their support, and my readers for their loyalty. You make it hard to quit, but for awhile, at least, I'm put- ting the cover on my typewriter. INV BSTMF.NTS FINANCIAL CENTIE.
