His entry was judged best in the Royal Winter Fair wh;ch opened in Toronto on Thursday and continues through to the end of this week r kT # My idea of living dangerously is going on a roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland. That's about the most death -defying act you would ever see me perform. On the other hand, you will never see my husband on a roller coaster. Too dangerous, he believes. But you're quite apt to see him scooting down the river on one water ski, leaning into sharp turns at about 38 miles per hour, and occasionally turning cart- wheels over the surface of the water when he leans just a bit too far. And he is not a strong swimmer. That is his idea of living dangerously. Well, no thanks. Come to think of it, I don't gamble. I seldom buy lottery tickets, and only buy raffle tickets when they're for a worthy cause. I always carry an umbrella in my car, and this time of year I'm likely to take along snow boots, just in case. At least I. thought I didn't gamble - until the other day when it occurred to me that I actually gamble quite a bit. 1 belong to that segment of society that is habitually late. Or at least, I'm never early. Recently, when travelling, I've made a game out of be- ing the last one on an airplane. When you're late ar- riving, it's not difficult to be last one on the plane. I gam- ble that I'm not going to miss the flight. Well, I lost the bet the other day. 1 had to be in Toronto for a day -long seminar. Rather than fight rush hour traffic, 1 decided to drive to London to take the train. 1 was up by 4:45 a.m., planning to catch the 6:20 train to Toronto. I pulled into the CN parking lot at about 6:25 - just In time to see the 8:20 train moving REMEMBER AT McCURDY — Students at J.A.D.

SUMMERS At the Granton United Church the Rev. Bruce Pierce conducted the worship for a Remembrance Day service. He entitled his message "What the World needs". War has become a com- mon, if not acceptable event, what the world needs is love for their fellowman. God has met that need in Jesus Christ. When we hear about things that are going on in the world, we think God doesn't love us, but He still sees the sparrow fall, He still loves us, we dread the power of war and long for peace. The province of Ontario wreath was placed in the church by the Granton Women's Institute. A basket of flowers was placed in the church from the funeral of the late Mrs. Veronica Mitchell in loving memory by her family. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the Rev. Peter Der- rick was in charge of the mor- ning prayer service. The two lessons were read by Kenneth Hoar and Jim Hodgins. The Rector preached an inspiring message on Remembrance Day.

You know how, in the movies, you see people chas- ing trains down the station platform and leaping on to the moving train at just the last minute? Well, it only works in the movies. In real life, they won't let you chase a train. So I ended up driving to Toronto - and despite stop - and -go traffic on 427 and the Gardner Expressway all the way into the city - I still arriv- ed in time for my 9:00 a.m. seminar. On the way home, I realiz- ed that I take risks in another way. I hate buying gas - it seems I'm always filling up the gas tank in my Mustang. I actually prefer self -serves where you can fill it up yourself, pay quickly and be on your way. It seems faster than having to wait for an at- tendant to amble out. But either way, I avoid buy- ing gasoline until the last minute. It's always a gamble to see how far my car (I call her Betsy) can go with the needle pointing to empty. For example, I know for a fact, that Betsy can travel from Exeter to the Ausable River Cut on empty . Getting to a gas station the next morning is the challenge. On the way home from Toronto, I learned just how far apart the service cen- tres on the 401 really are. Good old Betsy ran on empty for a long time, before she found one to roll into. She swallowed 37 litres of gas that night - and I believe she's on- ly supposed to hold 30! In any case, I won the gam - hie again. Rut one of these days you'll probably find me out of gas on the side of the road - when I'm supposed to be at the airport catching a plane. ER MARTIN the worship service. Leila Finkbeiner opened with a piano prelude. The theme was Friends. Alwinna Galloway read two poems on Friend- ship. Thelma Finkbeiner read the scripture.

The town's famous graveyard, Boot Hill, is a wide- ly known tourist attraction and history lesson all in one. While times and cultures do change, some traditional observances have never altered significantly. Such is the case in the observa- tion of the traditional full-service funeral. Progress of civilization hos brought about im- proved techniques and products, but the basic reasons for conducting traditional funeral ser vices have remained the same. Dignity, respect and love for the individual; loyalty to high ideals; and expressions of tender sympathy ore timeless, universal qualities among advanced societies. We are experienced and professional funeral directors. As such, you may confidently put in- to our care all the responsibilities of prepara- tion and conducting of a traditional full-service funeral.
