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
