Among the things auctioned off were, one hour of reflexology treatment, babysitting for one day, caddy services and a round of golf and a family photo sitting. "Talent Plus" huge success EXETER - Peace was the theme for the service at Exeter United Church on October 22, led by members of the Senior Youth Group. Beth Hawley delivered an inspiring sermon based on the song "One Tin Soldier", and asked us who we are willing to be, a valley person seeking wealth or a moun- tain person who would give up everything for world and personal peace. Our appreciation goes to these young people for their in- volvement with morning worship: Chris Passmore, Becky Morgan, Amy Hawley, Beth Hawley, Jason Wein, Laura Cooke, Dana and Brian Rivard, Liz Mol and Mi- chelle Ross on the piano, the ush- ers, and their leaders. Flowers in the sanctuary this morning were placed in loving memory of the late Pauline Brint- nell. The sympathy of the congre- gation is extended to her family. Saturday evening saw the pri- mary room packed to capacity as people vied to obtain the many use- ful items offered for sale at "Talent Plus". Having their appetites first satisfied with hamburgs and hot- dogs delicately cooked to per- fection by Chef MacLean and his understudies Rick Hawley, Bob Down, and Arnold Mathers, deliv- ered to the serving table by Carl Mills, the crowd bid fast and freely to buy such items as dinner parties, home baking, airplane excursions, manure, and handOcrafted items. Norm Whiting provided the enter- tainment and impetus. for bidding as the auctioneer. Aside from the fun and laughter raised, over 57,000 was returned from the sale. Such a success would not have been possi- ble without the generous donations of items from members of the con- gregation. Many thanks, to the do- nors and the members (and spous- es!) of the Finance and Property Committee and the Board of Trus- tees for a job well done. Not to be forgotten are the people who provided capable babysitting in Marshall Hall and the nursery for the children of some of the bidders. A vote of thanks from the parents to Chris Passmore, Wayne Robinson, Russ Watson, Jenny Graham, Chrissy Morgan, Kim Passmore, and their other helpers. Next Sunday, October 29, marks Mission Sunday at Exeter United. The Good family will be sharing in the worship service.

BOBFLETCHER WHO SHOULD SORT THE DECEASED'S BELONGINGS One of the most difficult tasks a recent window or windower must ace is sorting the departed spouse's belongings. Although a will often hetukiIto g1Ven in trmnric ^^ + —" usually many items romaiG! utt:>na4p ij au. It is tempting, in the difficult months following the death of a spouse, to let one's children or friends sort his or her belongings. But this is not advisable for two reasons. First, one's possessions are important to him or her, and their disposal should be taken care of by someone very close. This insures that any decisions about what to keep and what to give away will be made ac- cording to the wishes of the deceased. Second, sorting the belongings of a lost loved one is an important step in the grieving process for the surviving spouse. By reviewing one last time the material things associated with the deceased, the spouse can fully recognize that he or she is gone, and can accept that. As funeral directors, we have had a great deal of experience with the process of grief.

"I think people regard others who have a hidden disability as incapable of handling a job because they don't understand. It's hard to understand something you can't see." Like over 937,000 adults in Ontario, Lorraine has a disability. She has one of For a poster write: Ontario Office For Disabled Persons, 700 Bay Street, 16th Floor, Toronto, Ontario MSG 17.6 the many different kinds of hidden dis- abilities. But Lorraine doesn't let it stop her from leading a full life. She's an active member of her*Community, a wife and a mother of two children and she has a full-time job. In fact, the biggest problem Lorraine has is not her epilepsy but the way people look at it. Now, if we judge Lorraine by something we can't see - perhaps we should take a closer look' at ourselves.
