Unexpected company
Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Ferguson of Exeter had unex-
pected guests for the
Christmas weekend.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard
MacLean of Owen Sound
were stranded in town Satur-
day morning. They were on
their way to Owen Sound from
University Hospital in London
where Mrs MacLean was just
released after an eye
operation.
They stopped at the Simp-
son order office from where
Mrs. Nixon phoned the
Fergusons and made ar-
rangements for their unex-
pected stayover.
The MacLeans left for
home Monday morning at 9
a.m. and a half hour later the
Fergusons started out for
Kitchener. but, were forced to
turn back near Mitchell.
A few simple rules for a happy '84

New home
underway
Parkhill Residential Ser-
vices Inc. has announced the
granting of a contract to
Strybosch Construction Cc
Ltd. of Strathroy to erect a
new facility on the Hastings
Street Parkhill property.
This project is being under-
taken with the assistance of
Canada Mortgage and Hous-
ing Corporation. construction
will be underway immediate-
ly with occupancy planned as
early as May 1984.
Parkhill Girl's Home has
provided a residential pro-
gram for adolescent girls
since 1959 in the current house
at 258 Hastings Street and in
the former building at 251
Delaware Street. Since 1959
approximately 200 girls have
been placed in the program
by Children's Aid Services.
"The prospect of a new, one
floor building is an en-
couragement to residents and
staff persons alike and we
trust will be well received by
the community as well. We
believe that a new facility,
designed for our specific pur-
pose will enable us to provide
a more effective residential
experience for persons in our
care," said a spokesman for
the beard of directors.
We take this opportunity to
thank those parties who have
united to help make this
development possible. We
thank our community too for
the acceptance and support
you have given us these many
years and look forward to
your continued good will.
embarrassed by memory
lapses. You know, like the
times you start to tell a story
and forget the ending, or
when you findyourselfin front
of the refrigerator and can't
remember whether you've
just put something in, or if
you should be taking
something out; or when you
begin to introduce someone
you've known for years but
can't, for the life of you,
or past grievances.
So, starting a new year is a
good time to stop remember-
ing our failures and those of
others... and forge on.
And, let's expect the best in
1964. The human race is real-
ly great...so expect the most
from it. Oh, it's true it can be
violentand miserable and rot-
ten and wicked but it can also
be tremendously great.
In spite of violent killings,

frustrating!
Sometimes, however, it's a
good thing to be a good forget-
ter, and perhaps the beginn-
ing of a new year is one of
those times. Life is too short
to drag anything with us from
the past that hinders us from
doing the best with our pre-
sent lives.
The successful person
forgets. He knows the past is
irrevocable and he lets the
dead past bury its dead. The
magnanimous man forgets;
he is too big to let little things
disturb him. He forgets quick-
ly and forgets easily. It's real-
ly only the small person who
cherishes a low revenge.
Life is like running a race.
We can't take time to look
behind, but must keep our
eyes ahead on the finish line.
There is nothing that slows us
down or holds us back like
remembering past mistakes
It seems
to me...

CITE HAZARD
Low-priced AM radio head-
phone sets are currently be-
ing marketed under the
names of popular children's
cartoon characters and the
Ontario Safety League is con-
cerned over the potential
danger it see for young
pedestrians.
Since the introduction of the
headphone craze a couple of
years ago, the League and
otherorganizations have been
warning the public of the
hazards of wearing sets in
traffic situations. Some
Canadian jurisdictions have
even banned the items for
motorists and cyclists.
"The latest sets are attrac-
tive to children and are pric-
• ed low enough to make them
popular stocking stuffers,”
said OSL president Steve
• Andrunyk.
"Crossing a street involves
an entirely different concept
to a child than to an adult,”
Andrunyk explained. "For
example, the child's eye view
gives him a great deal less in-
formation than acquired by
an adult. The child's vision is
limited by his height, which in
turn affects his comprehen-
sion of the entire situation.
Children also cannot judge
speed and distance like an
adult. Permitting headphones
to hamper the child's hearing
adds to the danger."
blems. He has the capacity,
with God's help, to achieve
great objectives. So, expect'
the best, not the worst, from
our humankind.
Now, it's likely we will all
have some hardships in 1984,
some problems, some wor-
ries...we may not always live
up to our own best and will be
discouraged with the actions
of others. But we mustn't let
these things drag us down to
the depths of despair.
We need more serenity in
our lives...more time to be
quiet to meditate. Our leaders
need more serenity and quiet
in their lives, too, because a
person or society that gets so
wrought up and disturbed
that it cam t think straight in
a crisis is in trouble.
Of course, we cannot
become so serene that we lose
sight of what is going on out
there in the big, wide world,
but one of the troubles of oris
age is that there are so many
hysterical, unbalanced people
trying to solve the troubles of
mankind. We need people
with equanimity, who can
keep their heads, and take
charge of our world.
So, as we enter 1984, let us
forget our own and others'
mistakes, and head into the
new year expecting the best,
not the worst. Let us take
time to find quiet, serenity
from the mad rush of things.
If we practice these few sim-
ple rules, it seems to me we
might have one of the best
years ever. happy New Year.
