are different interpretations of
stories of the Bible because
there are different writers of
the same books. Read the in-
spiring parts of the Bible;

Cliff Parker and Don Jeffer-

week course for Credit Union
Personnel at the University of
Guelph.
Mr. Parker, Manager of the
branch office of the Credit Union
at C.F.B., Clinton has com-
pleted his second term of the
three year course and Don
Jefferson, Loan Officer, has
completed his first term.
The course is for two weeks-
in May of each year and is at-
tended by Credit Union em-
ployees, Directors. and Com-
mittee members from all parts
of Ontario,
Just why we had to choose
the coldest night of the holiday
season for camping out the
first time I cannot say, Actually
I suppose it was because the
weatherman was se ruddy
sneaky.
It was the 'Victoria Day week-
end. The radio kept warning
that skies Would be overcast,
temperatures would be below
normal and there was a chance
of rain, but everybody knows
the weather forecast is more
oftenwrong than right so . .
We set out with trailer in
tow right after lunch on Satur-
day, It was lovely and warm
- shirt-sleeve weather - and
the kids were soon overheated
as kids invariably are in a
closed car. Our daughter con-
fided that although her swim-
suit had made its way into her
luggage purely by accident,
it was a lucky thing now that
the weather had turned warm.
The trip up the lake was
pleasant and the thought of a
relaxing couple of days in the
sun helped me to keep my cool
as the baby smeared licorice
all over the car windows and
the older two continued the
argument which has been go-
ing on during every quiet mo-
ment for the last four years.
At the park the youngest
Keller headed for the sandbox
conveniently located about ten
feet away from the road. The
others disappeared completely
until the trailer was unpacked
Sheep Club

The May meetingof the Huron
County 4-H Sheep Club was held

held, for the present at least,
in the large Recreation Room

Who will be the winner of
the proposed Trudeau-Stanfield
television debate?
Last week the Prime Minister
was in Southwestern Ontario,
and concluded ,his-visit with.an
address telecast "'live' at a
meeting of the Kitchener
Chamber of Commerce.
This was the first time I
had the opportunity of seeing
the Prime Minister in person.
He has charm, wit and a great
sense of timing.
Over 1,200 paid $7.50 attend
this' annual dinner meeting,
which is usually half thatprice.
His address was brief, and he
Permitted a question-and-
answer period - also televised
'live' by the Kitchener TV
outlet.
As I pointed out in an earlier
column, it will be interesting
to see who will win, but after
watching Trudedu in person, I
would have to predict that the
PM will come out on top.
Perhaps the Conservatives
are already wondering why they
picked Mr. Stanfield at the con-
vention last September. He
hasn't the TV image, which is
so very important in these
times. Mr. Stanfield is a fine
man, but this isn't enough to be
in politics toddy, particularly
the head of a party.
Those who are running Mr.
Stanfield's campaign would be
well advised to drop the TV
debate.
Perhaps it's too late. Maybe
it was too late last September
when more colourful PC candi-
dates were turned aside.
Image is the thing. The
question is; Will it winthe elec-
tion?
a blanket From then on the
mercury dropped With the speed
of lightning. The tent heater
was pressed into use and the
kids were zipped into their
sleeping bags to keep warm.
Ever try to cope with thre., ex-
cited, eager 'beaver children
who for their own comfort must
be Confined to a bes' without
so much as a radio to keep
them company?
Our immediate tentingneigh-
bourhood had three other out-
fits and ten more Jliildren.
Each set of parents was trying
desperately to get their off-
spring to sleep so that they
would at least stay warm and
be oblivious to the frigid. con-
ditions outdoors. Through the
thin walls of each tent came
the wails of disappointed young-
sters, uncomfortable young-
sters, frightened youngsters,
hungry youngsters, thirsty
youngsters and bladder-
bothered youngsters. Outside
ran eight half-frozen adults who
secretly longed for a bit of
warmth and a little peace.
After what seemed like hours,
juvenile eyelids drooped and
one by one the children slept.
Only one major problem was
yet to be overcome. With frost
settling on the thermos jugs it
was time for moms and dads to
move indoors - but where, to
avoid waking the children?
Finally one couple opened
the flap to their tent trailer
already occupied by four sleepy
kids, All eight of us filed in,
four seated on the edge of each
of the two bunks with our knees
touching and our elbows rub-
bing. A long folding table was
dropped over the sixtee
shivering legs and stiff, cold
fingers managed to deal som
cards for a lifeless game o
something or other. Slowly th
warmth of 12 human bodie
raised the tent temp to th
minimum comfort level.
At near midnight some bray
soul suggested hot coffee and
with parka coat and gloves h
brewed up the sizzling stuf
which warmed the innards be-
fore retiring.
Just one peak outdoors in the
morning told my husband and
it was just not camping
weather. While I got the kids
up and breakfast made, he
packed the gear and lowered the
tent. By nine a.m. we were
several miles away from that
icy spot and partially thaWed
out in our blessedly heated
car.
At home we had a cook-in -
just as the sun came out to
entice us away for another night
with the trailer. This time we
weren't fooled, As experienced
campers we are content to wait
until the temperature hits at
least 60 degrees before we take
to the wilds again.
