Time to look at goals
Area couple at
"As a couple, we finally had some
time to look at our personal goals and
expectations."
We came to the conference
because we have our own farm opera-

NEW LABELS
New proposals for changes in the
nutrition labelling of foods sold in
Canada were announced recently by
Health and Welfare Minister Jake
Epp and Consumer and Corporate Af-
fairs Minister Harvie Andre.
The proposals call for the establish-
ment of a voluntary nutrition labell-
ing system for food products.
When nutrition labelling is applied
to a food, the proposals suggest a core
list indicating energy value
(calories), protein, fat, car-
bohydrates and sodium be declared
on a per serving basis under the
heading "Nutrition Information".
Other nutrients such as vitamins,
minerals, dietary fibre and sugars
may be declared if desired.
vices ana products it provides."
"We're just at that age, with the
kids off to school, that we've got more
time for community and co-op in-
volvement, and this conference is a
great chance for us -- together -- to
learn some leadership skills."
From August 18th to the 20th, 14
couples, between the ages of 30 and 45,
from across the province, attended
the eighth annual Young Couples Con-
ference, at Geneva Park, near Orillia,
sponsored by United Co-operatives of
Ontario (UCO). The comments above
are some of their reactions to the
program.
Among those attending were Les
and Debbie Falconer, ItR 5, Clinton.
sponsored by Hensall Co-op.
The conference, chaired by David
Rendall, UCO director, zone 7, had
seminars and workshops on co-
operative history, structure and
business style; on community in-
volvement, free trade, and on general
issues affecting agriculture and co-
operatives.
Each year, the group chooses an
"outstanding young couple" whom,

Urged to use
the library
A delicious potluck luncheon
preceded the regular meeting of the
Exeter UCW which was chaired by
Olive Thomson. Following a reading
of a poem and prayer, a poem was
read in memory of the late Myrtle
Gunning.
In giving her 'communications'
report, Cora Miner urged the
members to make more use of their
library both for enjoyment and pro-
gram material.
Some upcoming events are: Ex-
ecutive meeting 17, General Meeting
September 22, South Huron Regional
September 29 with Mrs. Walker, who
has been living with the Inuit as
speaker, October 6 at Pearce
Williams Christian Centre, Fingal, a
one -day event sponsored by the Lon-
don Conference Women. This will in-
clude workshops for treasurers, Bible
Study, missions, music and pro-
grams. Names of those attending
must be in by September 21.
With the help of her committee
Jean Pooley, Margetta Earl, Gladys
Vern and Florence Finkbeiner,
Marion Porter, program leader,
presented a story titled " The
Precious Present". The story stress-
ed the truth that now is the important
time, not yesterday or tomorrow.
Margaret Coates played a much en-
joyed medley of favorite tunes.
A selection from Titus was read
followed by prayer and the singing of
a hymn. Marion told of the coming of
her grandmother to Northern Ontario
as a pioneer and the help, friendliness
and trust shown to her by the natives.
Alma Langford, a commissioner
from London Conference to the
General Council at Sudbury describ-
ed the very dramatic circumstances
surrounding the presentation and ac-
ceptance of the apology of the United
Church of Canada to the Natives, not
that they had brought the gospel to
them, but that the White Man's
customs and creeds were the criteria
for the acceptance of the natives into
the Christian church.

children have been the most common
form, phooey charities can exist in
many guises, employing people of all
ages.
Concern recently surfaced about
profit-making groups selling products
associated with the campaign against
drunk driving in Ontario. Many con-
sumers made purchases in the belief
they were helping charity, but the
sellers were really helping
themselves. '
"It appears that, when questioned,
most of these groups would admit
they were in business to make money,
but not enough people asked," Mit-
chell says. "It's a good illustration of
the point that things are not always
what they seem. You could save
money just by, asking, 'Is this for
charity?".
Always ask for the canvasser's
name and address, along with that of
the company involved. H you suspect
the firm is operating illegally, contact
local police or MCCR's investigation
branch at (416) 963-0302. Remember,
these groups are not generally break-
ing any laws unless they falsely claim
to represent a charity.

available from theeministry. To ob-
tain a copy, contact the Consumer In-
formation Centre at 555 Yonge St.,

Local church ladies
start with a potluck
Members of the Evening Unit of
Exeter UCW enjoyed a potluck sup-
per before the September meeting.
Leader Marion Frayne presided for

dent, announced the following
meetings: UCW Executive
September 17 at 9:30 a.m., General
Meeting September 22, Regional
Meeting in Crediton U.C. on
September 29 and a One Day Event

Marion Frayne outlined the Key to
Our Success calendar which lists the
daily events in the church. Requests
were made for volunteers to babysit
for the Time Out group and to help at
Exeter Villa.
Plans were discussed for the Indian
display being prepared by Betty
Clarke's and Helen Coates' group for
the Exeter Fall Fair.
Pat Hann requested items for
decorating on Ttiaksgiving Sunday.
Barbara Sharpe read a poem to in-
troduce her group's worship service.
Barbara, Marjorie Tuckey, Gladys
McDonald, Mavis Atthill, Rita
Heywood and Bea Crowe told of their
experiences of working with family
friends and other women for a com-
mon purpose such as Meals on Wheels
and UCW catering.
Gladys McDonald and Rita
Heywood read scripture passages on
sharing among the apostles and the
parable of The Good Samaritan. The
hymn "It Only Takes a Spark to Get
a Fire Going" was sung.
Marjorie Tuckey led in prayer.
Mavis Atthill introduced Bev
Robinson, Staff Associate for Exeter
U.C., who spoke on "Women Working
Together."
She examined some of the reasons
for working in the Christian com-
munity and shared her experiences as
a lay worker. She left the group with
much to think about.
She advised the group to speak up
when they feel strongly about an issue
PLAN TO MARRY - Mr. and

Patricia Lynn to David Andrew

PLAN KIDS' EVENT
The Huron County Public Library
invites children to attend a Storytime
program at their local branch library.
Storytime will be held at the Kirkton
Branch Library on Saturday,
September 27 at 11:00 a.m. and at the
Exeter Branch Library on the same
day at 1:30 p.m.
Nancy Kraemer, an experienced
elementary teacher and talented
storyteller, will delight children with
her stories and puppets. Her half hour
program will especially appeal to
children from 4 to 8 years of age.
Admission is free and everyone is
welcome. Come out to your local
branch library and enjoy some stories
and fun. Sponsored by your local
branch library and the Huron Coun-
ty Public Library.
during a meeting, tq support others
when you agree with them and not to
do our speaking up in "parking lot"
meetings. Delegating work was
another point Bev stressed.
The group was reminded that the
way it has always been done is not
always the best way. Learn to know
your talents and to love ourselves
because God made us and Ile
"doesn't make junk."
If you make a mistake, don't berate
yourself. Instead, search for a way to
improve. Love others tnconditional-
ly. You can love others even if you
don't agree with what they do.
Recognize something you've done
well each day. God gives us the talent
so we can do anything we really want
to. Most people only use one-eighth of
their potential. Always thank God for
your talents and others. Affirming the
achievements of others is important.
Bea Crowe thanked Bev for her
practical and inspiring message.
