The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1972-02-17, Page 10Focts N'Fcincies By .aWYn 144414.14 #00t Why is it I can never find anything to read in the paper until I go to wrap up the garbage? Morning after morning I threw the newspaper down in disgust because there's nothing in- teresting in it, but a week or two later when it's soggy from slimy egg shells, banana skins and sloppy table scraps, its jammed full of items that jump off the page and hit me in the eye. So much hits me in the eye, in fact, that it can take half a day to finally get the trash off the kitchen counter and into the garbage pail, Just the other morning, bet- ween the orange peels, I read a little dandy letter gem, Seems a zealous divorce lawyer in West Berlin attended all the weddings in town and pressed his business card into the bride's palm as he went through the reception line. He met his Waterloo, however, at 00e4 .8ro:Ae The Times-Advocate is pleased to send birthday wishes to the following senior citizens: Mrs. Fred Finkbeiner, 89, February 19, Exeter Nursing Home.

PCW hear librarian )1t Mrs, John Schroeder, Exeter's librarian, was guest speaker at the meeting of Presbyterian Church Women at Caven Church, Monday evening. She compared libraries of the past, storage houses for books, to present libraries which are ac- tive information centres. She also gave a glimpse of what libraries may be in the future, with computers and conveyor belts to bring the books to the reader. She said; "Everyone belongs to the library, because of the taxes they pay for its upkeep, but not everyone comes to the library," and she stressed that the library is for everyone's use, She had several new books on display Mrs, Lorne Johnson, also a guest, played several hymn melodies on the piano. During the business part of the meeting, conducted by Mrs. Hilton Laing, it was decided to purchase a record player for the Sunday School and a PA system for the church, A St. Patrick's bake sale was planned for March 17. The program was arranged by Mrs. Cliff Ersman and Mrs. Ed. Johnson.

Theme for the meeting was *Today's Challenge „ Be. ye doers of the Word and not hearers only." Highlight of the event was the address given by pis, Harriet Christie of Toronto, In an in- spiring address she challenged the UCW to dream and turn their dreams into noble action. A panel(Coneern for Yotith' was moderated by Rev. F. Feist, Stratford. Panel members were Mrs.. Freida McAvoy, Toe Alpha worker, Sheila Harley, secondary school student, Mrs. Roy Galway, mother, and Mrs. Jean Parker, educational worker. Tile executive of the H-P Presbyterial presented their reports in a form of a skit,'The UCW on Trial by Jury.' The treasurer, Mrs. W, ar McDonald, reported an increase in givings. in 197/.. Other items on the all-day program were reports from the literature secretaries, morning worship by Central United. Church Women, .and musical numbers. Mrs. E. Egilsson, president of Londpn cenference UCW presided for the election and installation of efficers. The closing worship was conducted by Exeter 11CW. The meeting was conducted by Mrs. Stewart miner, Presbyterial president. a ceremony of an ex-prize fighter. Seems the groom was able tp 'persuade' him to quit drumming tip business at his wedding, at least. That prize item escaped me completely when I perused the paper with my breakfast cpffee. Pushing the left over porridge aside, I found another fascinating article about a concert pianist who had her career cut short when a slammed door chopped Off her finger, Didn't phase her, though . . . she just switched her profession. Now, She's Britain's women's car racing champion and says she'd never exchange her present life of spills and excitement for that of a pianist, Wonder what she'd turn to if she lost her head in one of those spills? I guess a gal like her would think of something. Someone has said, "There's nothing so stale as yesterday's newspaper," but that's not true. Seems to me the older they get the better they get. Take last Saturday. I had washed the utility room floor and was spreading down a six week old paper for snowy boots when I found so much interesting readings that I was kept there, mesmerized on my knees, until almost dinner time. Just in case you missed the items, too, I'll share some of the choicest with you. One story told of a fellow who has come up with the theory that Joan of Arc didn't hear or see saints in her visions at all. She just had a stomach ache (from possible food poisoning) that made her conjure up all these images and things. He suggests a glass of water and a spoonful of TESTING HIS HOMEMADE SOUP is cook of the week, Siff Jarvis. He says it's a good dish to make when his wife is away. He can leave it simmering on the stove for two or three hours and come home to find it all ready to eat. baking soda would have fixed the whole deal. Not satisfied with discrediting Santa. Claus and saint Christopher, they're now out to try to take St. Joan away from us, What next? Another column described a dream kitchen, costing $114,550, designed with no cupboards, no stoves and no sink. The housewife sits in this kitchen, with a decor like the inside of a spaceship, surrounded by control buttons, television monitors and pushes the botton that will in- stantaniously thaw frozen food, prepare it and send it down to the kids in the play room, A dream or a nightmare, I wonder? Some dame in New York says men should stay out of the kit- chen. She says "it's unromantic" for men to cook, What's she trying to do? . . put the kibosh on our male cook of the week series? She says a man-cooked meal doesn't impress a girl as much as a night at the theatre or a diamond bracelet. She's right, but when you don't stand much chance of either of those I'll settle for a male cook in the kitchen, A dermatologist says to-day's people donate blood; tomorrow they may be able to pick up a bit of extra cash by donating their hair. "Hair transplants from one person to another are almost here," he predicts. In that case, mix and match hair will be the coming thing for men with balding pates, I guess. Well, I could go on and on about the things I've gleaned while bundling up garbage or putting paper in the bottom of the kitty litter box, but space does not permit. But should the time come when we must separate our waste and are not allowed to wrap up trash in old newspapers it'll be a sorry day for me. I'll be the most uninformed person in the country. Alas and alack. IfiffIffiffiffifif lllll 14,1111111.1110111.11, llllllll 11.1111 lllll 0111111111111I11.1111,111 lllllll 11.1 lllllllll I 10,10m1, l llll lllllllll ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, Recipe .
