PHONE 235-1933 EXETER )." Meet your neighbour Eva Hoogenboom is a shy, young housewife who moved to Exeter about three weeks ago, with her 16 month old daughter, Lianne and her husband, Leo, who is Chief Accountant for a London firm. They are living, at least temporarily, with Eva's brother- Mrs. Eva Hoogenboom in-law, Ben Hoogenboom, who owns Exeter Flowers. Eva was born in Germany, but moved to Canada when she was five. She lived in Goderich from then until she was married two years ago, when she moved to London. She has had very little chance to meet anyone since she came to Exeter. "Cooking and cleaning and taking care of Lianne takes up most of my time. She just gets into everything", said Eva. Eva has had time to walk around and see the town though. She doesn't drive, but says it is nice and easy to walk around and see everything, especially with the baby. She said one of the things she noticed right away about Exeter is how friendly everyone is. "It's so different in London, because there, nobody will look at you", she said. Although Eva calls herself "kind of a home-body", she has a wide range of interests. She particularly likes being outdoors; camping, fishing, going on pic- nics and horseback riding. She also does some of her own sewing, but doesn't have a machine right now. She does not belong to any groups or organizations yet, but her husband has started going to Kinsmen Club meetings, and Eva thinks she might like to join the Kinettes. When Eva lived in Goderich, she and her sister had the distinction of being the first girls in town to own a motorcycle. "After we got one, it really caught on" she said. But although her motorcycle license is still valid, she hasn't driven since she was married. "It's just too dangerous" she said. "Cars have no respect for bikes". Eva would like to travel to Germany and Holland. All her relatives, except one uncle still live there, and her husband's family comes from Holland. 12 oz. tin makes 64 oz.

This happened to me just a little while ago, I didn't get home much during the last year of school, so I was quite surprised one day I was home, to hear my father say to my younger brother, ". . , so judge yourself accordingly". I hadn't heard it for years, but when I was little, it seemed to be one of my Dad's favorite ex- pressions. I'm sure I remember him saying it more than he ac- tually did, but it's one of those little things that kids pick up, and seldom ever forget. The phrase could have been prefaced with any number of things, like "Remember, you've only got 25 cents to spend, so judge yourself accordingly", or "One more remark like that young lady, and you'll go to bed, so judge yourself accordingly". But no matter what it was, everytime he said it, he sounded so serious. I just didn't fool around after he said that, I guess what made it sound so uncompromising, was that he was putting the whole burden of responsibility on my shoulders, and if I blew it, then it wasn't anybody else's fault but my own. Funny how the meaning has changed for me, since the last time I heard it though. I'm sure for Jim, it had the same ominous ring it had when I was his age, but for me, now, it is something completely different. Then, it meant, 'don't do that, or you'll have to suffer the con- sequences'. And did I ever know what the consequences would be! Now though, it doesn't seem to be so much of a "life or death" warning as it was then. Of course, I am too old to be spanked. Nevertheless, it has become very sound advice. But the sense of responsibility it imparts has not yet disap- peared. In fact, it is probably greater than ever. Instead of being a very negative, "don't do that or else" type of phrase, it means I can do whatever I like, as long as I weight both sides of the situation first, and remember what might happen, one way or the other. As a supposedly intelligent adult, it means I am now capable, or supposed to be capable, of carefully balancing one side of an argument with another, and coming up with what I think is a credible and workable solution. Instead of having my mind made up for, me with an ultimatum, it means I am now old enough to make my own decisions, and what a chore that can be. In most cases, I would just as soon be given, only one alternative as have to choose between two equally attractive propositions. How things change! When I was small, I'd have given just about anything to be able to do what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. But it was O.K. then; Dad was paying the bills, and l didn't have to worry about it, Not much wonder he told me to judge myself accordingly, I was spending his money, When I think of it, I guess that's the real dif- ference between then and now. Then, I was really judging him accordingly; how far could I go before he would actually do what he threatened to do. Now, I really am judging myself accordingly, because nobody else is going to tell me what to do, or tell me of if I make the wrong choice. Sometimes, I wish they would. But for now, I guess I'll have to take things as they come, and "judge myself accordingly". + + + Just the other day, I received a graduation card which said, "As you're looking back on school days, and on everything they've meant, You must feel your time and effort, Were certainly well spent". And there is no doubt about it, Well-attended graduations are taking place all over the country, just to prove it. Graduations have lost the social status they once carried, because grads are coming out a dime a dozen, without jobs, and often without even prospects. Nevertheless, for the individual and maybe even more for his family, it has not lost any of its significance. Sure, a lot of students don't even attend graduation, a few even come wearing blue-jeans under their graduating gowns. But burning your diploma on stage went out of fashion as quickly as it came in. And those kids on stage know what they're there for. Even though many profess to come just because of their parents, there are very few whose shoulders don't square just a little but when their name is called. Because of the price, I heslitated to purchase a certain cut of steak until I read a small sign pasted on top of the meat counter: "Do you know that your cigarettes cost you $6.50 a pound?" The Kingsbridge Womens' Institute were hosts Wednesday afternoon for the May birthday party, with volunteers from the Beta Sigma Phi and Clinton Christian Reform Church. The program consisted of a special program prepared by the Kingsbridge Roman Catholic School students, Dianne Van Rooey, Bridget Dalton, Joanne Doherty, Nellie Knoop, Sheila Sinnett, Sucilla Frayne, Marg Van Diepen and Mary Louise Clare sang several' favourite songs accompanied at the piano by Marianne Frayne, Sheila Sinnett favoured with a dance number. Public speeches on "The Huron County Pioneer Museum" by Marianne Frayne and "A Trip to the British Isles" by Mary Louise Clare were enjoyed by everyone. Gifts were presented to the twenty-five residents having May birthdays by the Institute ladies. Birthday cake and tea were served. Jim Gibbons, a native of Kingsbridge, thanked the ladies and students on behalf of the Kinettes hold last meeting The Exeter Kinettes met at the home of Joanne McKnight on Monday evening for their last general meeting of the year. The Kinettes made plans for serving lunch to Senior Citizens in June, A pot luck dinner with the District Executive will also be held in mid June at the home of Lynda Sanders. Ideas for a rummage sale in the fall were also discussed. Following the meeting, a surprise bridal shower was held for Norma Weigand who ex- pressed her thanks to all present. Lunch was served by hostess Joanne McKnight. residents. A group of young people from the Brussels area provided the program for Family Night. This consisted of Scottish and Irish dances, step dances, and the Charlston. Taking part in the dance numbers were Catherine Cardiff, Susan Sanglois, Carol Wheeler and Marg Lynn Cardiff. There were piano duets and solos by Linda Machon, Carol Wheeler and Vickie Machon; vocal duets and solos by Vickie and Julie McAll, Allan Cardiff and Dale Wheeler, Mrs. Cardiff, formerly of Brussels, expressed the ap- preciation of the residents for a fine hour of entertainment, We would like to thank the relatives and friends of some of the residents who attend the programs on Thursday evening and assist along with the volunteers, in encouraging residents to come to the auditorium, The season for fresh Ontario asparagus is short, generally lasting about one month from mid-May to mid-June, say food specialists at the Ontario. Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Enjoy it fresh while it lasts and freeze some for later use. Select only top quality asparagus for freezing, For tenderness, look for fresh firm stalks with close compact tips that are deep green or bluish green. Open tips indicate tough stalks or stalks held too long after cutting. Straight medium to thick stalks are more tender than thin stalks or stalks with a large amount of white at the base. Use asparagus quickly, while freshness lasts. Prepare stalks for freezing in the same manner as. for fresh use. Wash it well, and. remove Any loose scales. Break off the woody base (the stalk will snap where the tender part begins), Uniform lengths are best for .even blanching and uniform cooking later. Blanch in boiling water, 3 minutes for stalks of 1/2 it inch or less in diameter, and 4 minutes for larger stalks. Cool under cold running water,, drain, and freeze immediately in carefully sealed moisture-proof packages. Asparagus is an excellent frozen vegetable. Thaw and use Ma salad, or place frozen into a small amount of boiling salted water and cook covered for 3 to 5 minutes, This Is about 1/3 the time required to cook fresh asparagus, so care is needed not to overcook.
