Men's Charity Breakfast meets this Saturday
CENTRALIA — The feature story for the "We Care"
Men's Charity Breakfast this month is different from
the others. It is not about one person and his talent, but
it is about a group and its dedication.
The individuals whose projects were described in
earlier articles are hard working, organized thinkers
who worked a full day in many cases, and then worked
long evenings to complete their tasks. Their patience
and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. We thank
them for allowing the writer into their workshops and
their lives.
"Dedicated" describes the group; so does "devoted."
They came when there were icy roads and poor visibili-
ty. The heat of summer didn't stop them from coming
and enjoying a good breakfast.
The busyness of the harvest season didn't keep them
away because they needed to ask questions and hear

answers. They understood that the hungry are without
food during our winter and villages are destroyed dur-
ing our summer, and thousands of young children are
dying during our harvest season because they have no
food. Because they understood, they opened their
hearts and their wallets, and as of Nov. 17 they have
contributed $372 to the Canadian Food Grains Bank.
For this, the hungry and starving in this world thanks
them, and God is smiling.
The next Men's Charity Breakfast is Sat., Dec. 15, the
third Saturday of the month, starting at 8:30 a.m. at
the Malibu Restaurant south of Exeter. We intend to
use this time as an evaluation time and a time to chart
our future. The people who come are your friends.

Plan Number 7-3-876 (R) HANDSOME HOME FOR DAY-TO-DAY LIVING In this handsome two-storey home, the great room offers an expansive area for casual
day-to-day living, while a separate dining room provides a location for more formal meals and entertaining. Entry is through an arched entrance, flanked by
stone pillars, into the foyer. Directly ahead, beyond an L-shaped staircase on the left, is the heart of the home, the combined great room/dining room/kitchen.
Here are all the elements to ensure the family can enjoy informal activities together, with plenty of space to move around. The gas fireplace at one side of the
great room can be seen from all parts of the room and will ensure a cosy focus for winter -time activities. On one side of the great room is the kitchen, designed
so that the cook will never feel isolated. Ample counter space and an island with a cooktop are sure to please whoever's responsible for meal preparation.
Windows over the kitchen sink, set at an angle, overlook two covered patios. A sliding pocket door from the kitchen opens to the dining room, featuring a 10 -foot
ceiling and a built-in buffet, as well as access to a covered patio. Steps lead from here to the back garden. The den at the front of the home features a bay
window that lends character to this room, ideally located for use as a home office. Behind the den and off the foyer are the laundry room, coat cupboards,
storage space and a powder room, all efficiently grouped. The laundry room enjoys easy access to and from the double garage, where there is lots of room for a
workshop. A good-sized carousel breakfast room will be ideal not just for breakfast, but for all informal meals. A door opens on to a second covered patio,
perfect for al fresco meals during the warmer months. Upstairs, the master suite is privately located overlooking the back garden. A four -piece ensuite includes
a corner soaker tub and separate freestanding shower. A walk-in closet offers ample space for both his clothes and hers. Bedroom No.2 is slightly larger than
the other secondary bedroom, and is located immediately next to the shared main bathroom. Bedroom No.3 contains its own interesting features — a large bay
window and a walk-in closet with a glass -block wall to let in plenty of natural light. The linen cupboard is located between these two bedrooms. A decorative
railing borders the hallway, which offers a view to the foyer below. The stone and stucco exterior is enhanced by board and batten siding. Decorative braces
add interest to the gables and there's a trellis over the garage. The home measures 52 feet, 8 inches wide and 53 feet, 6 inches deep, with 1,986 square feet of
living space. An unfinished basement is included in the plans. Plans for design 7-3-876 are available for $584 (set of 5), $661 (set of 8) and $710 for a super set
of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax. Also add $25.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $45.00 outside of B.C. Please add 6% G.S.T. or 14% H.S.T.
(where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our 39th Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50
(includes taxes, postage and handling). Make all cheques and money orders payable to "Home Plan of the Week" and mail to HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK c/o
