Mrs. CI if ferd ;Mt Of tile
Exeter public Schpol staff gave
a talk ,on students between tile
grades of fdar PO eight at the
Home and School Asspciation
ineetine last Tuesday evening.
She explained that growth is
really a foer-Way process,
combining so d a 1, emotional,
mental as well a$ phygicAl face
tors. Begirinteg at the greee
four level, she outlined tee Yee-
ious qualities that should be
ppssessed by the different age
levels. The grade fopr student
should take a more realistic
attitude towards homework and
begin to develop good work ha-
bits.
Mrs. Jory said "Gradual ma-,
turation in childhood is mosi
important; if it is not gradual,
an unbalanced personality oc-
casionally develops.0 She noted
that the grade four student
should become acquainted with
the newspaper and learn that
there is a world outside the one
in which he lives. The grade
five pupil should be becoming
more conscientious about his
school work and personal life
as well. The grades six and
seven students must put em-
phasis on personal organiza-
tion—putting first things first
These handsome, reversible
coats are coquettishly chame-
leon. When it's sunny, they're
a smart,addition to any ward-
robe, and when it rains, they
shed water beautifully. A wide

In school life as as at
home. "It is most important
for the grade eight student to
consider just why he, s attending
school" said the speaker and
continued "More theri ever he-
fore, pressure is being pieced
on ypungsters to 'succeed' so,
such unnecessary Ares-
surer Make it especially
fietilt for Yeelegsters today, es-,
pecially the immature
mrs. Jory concluded by say-
ill& that self-discipline must be
developed in elementary school
if the student is to,continue life
with ,a well-rounded pereonal-
ity, eager to 'learn and posses-
sing proper sense of values,"
Square dancers under the di-
rection of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Whiting presented sever al
dances. The group included
Carolyn Shapton, Susan Bailey,
Chris Tuckey, Linda Wells,
Karen McArthur, Randy Jones,
David Dettmer, Ronald Durand
and David Frayne.

cided to hold the annual tea and
bake sale during open house at

When it comes time to set
the dinner table at the Delmer
Skinner household near Elim-
ville, Mrs. Skinner and her
daughter,Fra.nces, can choose
from 195 pairs of salt and pep-
er shakers.
The collection, begun when
Mrs. Skinner was a child, has
overflowed from one large china
cabinet into part of another in
the U sh orne township farm
home.
Despite the wide choice avail-
able, Mrs. Skinner says she
most often uses the small table
cartons purchased at the groc-
ers for family meals. How-
ever, they use their novel and
sometimes tricky sets when
guests come for dinner,
And several of the more
elaborate pairs are used at
goldep weddings and other spec-
ial occasions.
Mrs. Skinner quickly points
out that part of the collection
belongs to her daughter Fran-
ces, a SHDHS student, who has
become interested in the hobby,
too. Friends and relatives have
no problem in knowing what to
give the mother and daughter
for Christmas and birthday
gifts -- the real problem is in
finding pepper and salts that
are different from those they
already have,
Mrs. Skinner has the first
china set that was given her
as a girl and from this pair
her collection has grown until
now she has sets from across
Canada coast to coast and from
the Yukon to Florida.

A haughty dowager visited
the hospital to see her chauf-
feur, badly injured in an auto
accident. The head nurse he-
sitated:
"He's a very sick man and
should see no one but his fa-
mily. Are you his wife?"
Highly indignant, the dowager
blurted out: "I certainly am
not -- I'm his mistress."

Two potatoes, that look real

Brunswick. A pair of bright
red crabs came from the same

From Yukon is a set resemb-
ling the tree trunks of the great

A pair of Indians in full

Most of the sets are made
of china or plastic; some are
of wood, leather, silver and
glass. The costliest set is a
china bride and groom from
Niagara Falls and the smallest
is a pair of field glasses which
could be put in a box three-
quarters inch on each side. The
most recent is a decorated
donkey drawing a cart holding
two pears containing pepper and
salt.
Pairs of peaches, oranges,
strawberries, bananas, and
melon slices form part of the
collection.
Kitchen appliances, also, are
well represented.
A sewing machine when open-
ed up reveals two top drawers
as the pepper and salts; a
washing machine has the sugar
container in the machine and the
two rollers of the wringer as
the shakers;
A hot plate has two pots which
are the shakers; there are ir-
