Spring weddings popular Florida For a good part of the af- ternoon, I've been sitting here wondering what .on earth I can write to interest the readers of the TA . This is the first column I've ever written, and for at least two reasons, I'm more than a little nervous about actually putting the words on paper. The first major problem is my inexperience. Fresh out of school, 20 years old, and still "wet behind the ears", I haven't exactly got a Wealth of material from which to draw, But the second problem is even more intimidating — and she is my predecessor. Gwyn has set such a high standard in her column, that she is going to be difficult to follow. And after her kind words about me last week, I get the feeling that I should be writing something very philosphical and astounding. But those are the only two big words I can think of, so I guess that's out. Instead, I think I'll adopt the 4- H motto as my oft; "Learn to do by Doing". It may be somewhat painful for a while, but I have WIRWRIUMMONOSVAVEMaNin Meet your neighbour Erla Spicer is just so busy that she doesn't have much time for outside activities. She and her husband, Ellwin, recently took over the operations of Luxton's Bakery, and they have been working hard to establish themselves in Exeter. The Spicers have not yet moved to town. They are still living in London, where they owned Spicer's Bakery for 10 years. Urban renewal expropriated their building, however, so they decided to move here. Mrs. Spicer does many general duties at the bakery, and her husband is the baker. "By the time you get through your work, you're played out", she said. She is going to be extra busy this summer, because one of her three daughters, Lynn, a third- year Social Welfare student at Western, is getting married in August. Her oldest daughter, Mary Anne, is a nurse at the Retarded Children's Hospital, Byron, and Diane teaches high school in Wingham. Mrs. Spicer, a quiet, friendly woman, thinks she is going to like Exeter very much, "We haven't met too many people yet, outside of the shop, but everyone seems very friendly". Because of her duties at the Shop, Mrs. Spicer has never had too much time for outside in- terests and activities. But she attends the United Church regularly in London and hopes to do the same when she moves to Exeter. "We live a very quiet life", she said. The Spicers are not sure just when they are going to move, but they hope to get settled at the shop first. come to the conclusion that it's the only way. I just hope you will bear with me while I fulfill the Motto. . Over the past year, it has become more and more apparent to me that second-hand ex- periences are no substitute for doing something yourself; that you have to learn to do by doing. Very few people can even tell a joke as well as the original comedian. There are qualities inherent in doing something for the first time, not counting the inevitable feeling of inadequacy, that make even the most insignificant task challenging and exciting. For example, about three weeks ago, I flew for the first time. For many people, this is very routine, and would not be the least bit exciting, Not so for my girlfriend and me, It wasn't just the fact of actually being 25,000 feet in the air, but we felt a sense of accomplishment just getting there. We had been warned about the complexities of traveling; about the strange people we were likely to meet; on and on ad infinitum. In addition we were flying standby, and this in itself adds a certain sense of insecurity, because you, are never sure until the last minute that you are even going to get a seat. Thus, it was with great satisfaction that we found our way around Toronto Inter- national Airport, got our tickets, checked our luggage, and finally were seated on the first flight to Montreal. The very idea that we had done all these little things, by our- selves, without any help, for the very first time, was enough to put a good start to our holiday. There is 'no doubt about it we did make mistakes. Neither of us had ever been to Montreal before. No one was meeting us, and we had no place to stay. Being im- poverished students rather limited the kind of ac- commodations we could afford, too, but asserting our new feeling of independence, we weren't the least bit worried, and decided to find something on our own, Our accommodations the first night were not quite what you'd call a luxury hotel. Suffice to say, we were glad our mothers couldn't see the place. But it was clean, and it did until we could find something a little more suitable the next day. Nevertheless, we had done it all by ourselves, and we survived. Because we were not quite sure of what we were doing, or where we were going, we probably saw more of the city that 1VIontrealers know, than most tourists. The feeling of accomplishment when I finally arrived home was very much like the feeling I have as I complete my first week in Exeter. At first, I was a little worried about moving into a town where I knew no one and about living by myself, something else I have never done before. But instead of the anticipated feeling of loneliness, I have met so many friendly people, and have found such interesting things ,to occupy my time, that the imagined evenings of sitting at home, writing letters to all my long-lost friends have just never materialized. The same thing has happened with the staff at the paper, Everyone is so willing to help me, and to answer my never-ending questions, that I already feel like part of the group, I have undoubtedly made mistakes, and will make many more before I am finished, but I hope that I won't make the same ones more than once. .When l first found out that I had 7001:14414 In a setting of yellow mums and white daisies, Alma Irene Woodburn and Ronald Thomas Kenney solemnized their wed- ding vows in Greenway United Church, May 20.

Following a reception in Dash- wood Community Centre, the couple headed north for a a summer job as Women's Editor of the Exeter Times-Advocate, some of my friends at school were throwing around phrases like "swelled head", and "think you're pretty smart, eh?". I would like to dedicate this column to them, because the last week's work has proved the three of them completely mistaken. But apart from this teasing, I must thank them, for without their support and en- couragement, I probably wouldn't be here. In spite of all my talk about independence and doing new things for the first time, if a person doesn't have at least some confidence that he is capable of successfully com- pleting a new task, chances are pretty good that he won't be able to do it. They gave me some of this confidence. I hope I can live up to their and your expections. honeymoon. The bride was dressed in a white pleated dress, with a navy vest.
