Many thanks to Dina Kelders, who collects and tab- ulates the results. Lia Vandenberk thanked all the members who helped to make the potluck supper so successful - members of other C.W.L. councils have inquired if we might consider making it an annual event? Thanks also went to those members who served at the Alhambra Cash; Draw Dance, and catered lunch to the Priest's Deanery meeting, ghaired by Bishop John Sherlock. Toys, gifts and food items have been col- lected during Masses for the last two wedkends, to be picked up by the Grand Bend Lioness for Christ- mas Baskets.

When pir- chasing a smoke alarm, look for the U.L.C. label which assures that it meets safety standards. Installation is easy - just two screws and a screwdriver. Youmay even want to include installation as part of your gift. Ideally, every level of the home should have a smoke alarm, he said. In fire extinguishers, a multi- purpose dry chemical type is a wise choice. This extinguisher can han- dle most small -fires. Look for the U.L.C. label that ensures the extin- guisher meets safety standards. + + 1 i + + + ■ ■Bank serves yon C oCi:e �r ia� � s� �r If your bank branch is closing, you can be sure our friendly staff will be glad to help you _c itinue banking here in Exeter - when it is most convenient for you. • Our branch at 226 Main Street has been serving customers for more than 20 years.
