Former resident
sees many changes
Lloyd -Eagan, last in town in
1959. was back in Exeter to
renew acquaintances last
week. He called on former
teachers Andy Dixon and
Glen Mickle, and visited
SHDIIS, which he had last
seen as a Grade 12 student
before leaving for Edmonton.
Eagan noted the many addi-
tions to his old school, and the
disappearance of a barn that
he remembered being on the
property.
Eagan's general impres-
sion of Exeter in 1984 is of a
prosperous, well -kept town.
Eagan is sorry he didn't
have time to see more old
friends, but could not stay for
Homecoming festivities.

MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM BRUCE WATSON
April 28, 1984, Marilyn Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Clark Hodgins and William Bruce, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Donald Watson, exchanged marriage vows at Grace
Anglican Church, Greenway. The maid of honour was
a friend, Jennifer Muma. Bridesmaids were Mrs.
Darlene Gajewski, sister of the groom, Mrs. Dianne
Vermunt, sister of the bride, and Mrs. Cathy Hodgins,
sister-in-law of the bride. The girls were dressed alike
in royal blue gowns. The best man was a friend, Steve.
McCann. ushers were Stefan Gajewski, brother-in-law
of the groom, Kevin Hodgins, brother of the bride, and
Scott Darling, friend of the groom. They were dressed
alike in navy and white tuxedos. The flower girl and
ring bearer were Emily and Mark Masschelein, niece
and nephew of the bride. After a honeymoon to Florida,
the couple are now residing at RR 3 Ailsa Craig.

all we had exchanged. The
Chinese will not let any of
their currency leave the coun-
try, but of course, they
welcome foreign money com-
ing in.
We also visited the People's
commune. Although the
membership was over 2000,
we were told it was a middle-
sized commune, the member-
ship being divided into teams
of about 250 adults, plus
children.
By Western standards, liv-
ing conditions were very
primitive, although we were
taken to a 'hand picked' house
that was furnished very plain-
ly, but adequately.
It consisted of four small
rooms where six adults and
several children lived. I can-
not imagine any Canadian, no
matter how poor, living in
similar conditions...although,
I must admit the people look-
ed healthy and well fed.
We were often told that
times are much better for the
ordinary Chinese than 30 or 40
years ago. Then, the wealth
was held by the monied man-
darins, and the feudal condi-
tions of the common people
were very bad. Now, so we
were informed, there are no
wealthy people in China, but,
there are no starving ones,
either.
Late one afternoon, my
friend, Elizabeth and I asked
to be let off the tour bus so we
could try to locate a Christian
pastor we had been told Jived
in Canton. We found his hum-
ble dwelling in a very run
down section of the city but
Unfortunately,. he wasn't at.
home. So, we sauntered along
with the Chinese for several
blocks, through the crowded
streets, and while we receiv-
ed many stares, we certainly
never felt that anyone was un-
friendly toward us.
The last night, we were
taken to what we were told
was a typical Cantonese ban-
quet. Canton is noted for its
fine cuisines, and the meal of
which we partook consisted of
so many courses, we lost
count: egg rolls; steamed
noodle and vegetables; a
whole piglet, the skin crackl-
ing brown; sou with floating
mushrooms and pigeon eggs:
broccoli, shredded chicken
and cashew nuts; shrimp, eel,
and white fungus in a thick
sweet syrup served with a
layered gelatine and cake
dessert. We ended with a
fresh orange, pots of green
tea, bottles of Chinese beer
and strong red wine.
The next day, we boarded a
train for Hong Kong, travell-
ing through quiet, lush
farmlands being worked with
water buffalo. A mist hung
over the tea gardens and the
peaceful terraced rice pad-
dies as they flashed by the
train windows. It seemed to
us we were travelling in a
dream, or through the pages
of a National Geographic
Magazine.
