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

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.

The fifth annual Meeting of the
Huron-Perth 'Presbyterial of
United Church Women VMS held
at Central United Church,,
Stratford, February 9..
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.
