A trio of the Wanless Fami- ly, Elizabeth Taylor, Margaret Bean and John Wanless, sang sev- eral numbers which were much en- joyed. They are family of the late Rev. Gordon Wanless, a former minister. The Sunday School children sang several numbers accompanied by pianist Verla Copeland.

Very im- pressive organ selections were played by John Wanless which was much enjoyed. The Responsive Reading was Psalm 84.

Everyone went to the basement of the church where the Sunday School children had decorated the classrooms in honour of the 125th anniversary. A very delicious lunch and bever- age were partaken of, and a real good time of fellowship and visits which brought a delightful day to a close. Come on champions! "...to suggest the banners be taken down is a slam to the efforts of all the teams involved." Dear Editor: The Arena Banner article in your May 18 edition has me very upset and concerned. The banners are up there on the walls of S.H.R.C. because of the achievements of our Exeter Hockey teams over the past several years. Yes, they are memories, but for the members of the teams who made it possible for those banners to be displayed it is more than a memory. That banner is a symbol of hard work, long hours, determina- tion, discipline, team play and all the other traits that go together to make a champion. A very select few ever experience that part of a championship. Obviously, many who discussed their removal have never had that experience or they would never want the banners taken down. The banners are part of Exeter's athletic history, and even to suggest the banners be taken down is a slam to the efforts of all the teams involved. I agree, some of the banners should be cleaned or repaired, but never taken down. There never should be any policy as to how long thcy remain. Where do you start, after a certain team won a championship and then remove all others. Check the banners in Boston Gardens, Chicago Stadium, Maple Leaf Gar- dens, the Skydome - banners displayed for every team that won a championship and they remain for- ever. If a policy is to be made on the length of time ban- ners are to be up, then the policy should also cover pictures in the town hall for the mayors and town council - five years, 10 years, forever? Proper arrangement of the banners could make a very attractive display in our arena, something we should be proud of. I am willing to head a committee for upgrading the banners. I need your help - supportive, financial- ly, or as a volunteer to help reorganize the arena dis- play. For all you champions, let's hear from you. Call me at 235-1314 or home 235-0847. I strongly suggest before banners are removed that the S.H.R.C. Board take a very careful look at the possible consequences. If I were a politician I would not want to use the "Banner Removal" as part of my election platform for this fall's election. The teams of Exeter are a proud group - not as a memory - but forever and we deserve to be recog- nized for our efforts. Come on champions - let me hear from you. Sincerely, Ron Bogart Cromarty WMS hold talent auction By Roberta Templeman STAFFA - Talents and gifts was the theme of the May meeting of the Cromarty Marian Ritchie W.M.S. held in the church base- ment on Tuesday evening May 17. Jean Carey presided, welcoming everyone, and opening with a poem on Neighbours and a hymn, accom- panied on the piano by Betty Lou Norris. Everyone answered the roll call with a verse or scripture pas- sage on talents or gifts.

The offering was taken and dedicated by Jean Carey. President Peggy Kerslake presid- ed for the business, when minutes were read by Carey and the treasur- er's report given by Mary Elliott.

Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Fifty jumps a day to help delay osteoporosis? That's what English researchers are recom- mending to middle-aged women to increase bone density. Impact exercise like this stimu- lates bone formation reducing the risk of oste- oporosis. (Time to get that old skipping rope out.) Drug interactions can occur between birth control pills and some antibiotic medications making "the pill" less effective. Other methods of birth control are recommended while taking the anti- biotic. By the way, if you are a smoker and also take oral contraceptive medic ation, you are at a greater risk of cardiovascular problems than a non smoker using these medications. Another good rea- son to stop smoking! Premature graying affects a quarter of all people by the time they are 25. Production of the first gray hairs on the head often begin as early as age 15.
