The Goderich Signal-Star, 1970-05-21, Page 16(0:400641 SIGNAM•-oTAf, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1970 • Keller •d nw L t week was a tremendously :interesting week for me, I'm not the kind of a woman who finds her greatest pleasure in the kitchen, although that can be rewarding at times. Basically, I find real enjoyment being out and around the •community, seeing what great things are going on and ' perhaps, in my own way, contributing to some of them. That's why last week was such pure pleasure for me. 1 was able to .take in three exciting events, •all different, but all. just terrific in their own way." . * * * Monday evening, - at the invitation of Peter Carless, `field representative for the CNIB, I was at Little Bowl to take pictures of the CNIB members from this district who were having an evening out through the courtesy of Harry Little, Singers hesitated to disband. So they remained together...for the love of singing' and for the joy of sharing music with.others. The concert was held in North Street United Church. I would estimate that about 700 persons had gathered in the main auditorium, for the show. I got there, a little early and had panty of time to reflect on my memories about North Street United Church. I remembered that I was one of the many, many youngsters from Huron County who gathered there once a year sometime ago to take part in the Huron County music festival. It was in North Street United Church (Ia even picked out the -exact spot on the platform) that I sang in the solo class for senior girls and walked away with' first prize. I imagined, of course, that I was launched on y a musical ' seminars extremely enlightening.. The one. subjects in which I was `most interested concerned • discipline., I was pleased to hear Margaret A Lawson, supervisor of the child care unit at GPH, say that in her opinion the key word in discipline is consistency. I've always subscribed to the theory that once a ,set of rules is laid down, it should be followed as close to the letter as possible. There should be few exceptions. In theory, the system works • wonders. In practice at our home, it leaves something to be desired because children have a way of getting around mules and parents have a habit of bending them a little too often. What's more, I find that I am .. too :forgetful. I actually forget at times, just what the rules are in a certain situation. Maybe that's because we are inclined to have career and while I never did too many rules and not enough proprietor of Little Bowl.. • realize that dream, I have never common -understanding. , March to cenotaph.
