Bus rides don't especially thrill
me. They are usually too long, too
slow, with too many stops, The
windows are often so dirty that
you can't see out of them if you do
want too, and it is a mortal sin to
getup to stretch, an action that is
often necessary in the cramped
quarters.
And it usually happens that the,
time yott are in the mood to meet
some onemew, and talk, you are
sharing the seat with someone in
exactly the opposite mood, or
vice-versa.
But it is inevitable that you
sometimes have to travel by bus,
and such was the case last week.
To get the approximately 165
miles by train from Exeter, to
my home, I would have to go to
London, then to Toronto with a
two-hour stop-over, then to
Alliston, and I am still nine miles
from home. All that at a cost of
about $10, one way.
There are no direct bus routes
either, without going through
Toronto, but I did discover that a
bus runs from London to
Brampton, a town about 40 miles
from. where I live. I decided I
could hitch-hike the last part of
the trip, so off - went,
As'soon as I )oarded the bus,
however, all ay resentments
against it beg i to rise. I had a
book, but wasn't in the mood to
read, so I just started to look
around, After about five minutes
though, I realized I had been
sitting there, criticizing just
about everything, and everyone
on the bus( that lady wasn't
dreSsed very well) I didn't like
that man's choice of reading
materia4, the little kid in the
corner made too much noise,
Soio try to rid myself of that, I
started to play a game. I looked
at each of the people and things I
had ;been criticizing, and tried to
pick out something good about
them, and then I tried to imagine
who they were, where they lived,
what work they did, what things
they, liked, where they were
going, and why.
It was surprising just how
difficult it was. People don't
often make a point of noticing
the complimentary attributes of
others but more often the bad
things are commented upon.
Alrilb—st immediately though the
bus ricle'started to brighten up. It
didri't matter that there wasn't
mudlr room to move around in,
and! the little boy 's-,,,,ehatter
stoed bothering me. ,
Just across the aisle for
exaMple, there was an elderly
lady', all dressed in black, with a
Salvation Army type of hat on.
After a while, we began to talk,
and it turned out that she was
actually a Mennonite lady, on her
way) to Kitchener, to visit her
married daughter. We talked
until she had to get off, but during
the conversation I learned a lot
about a wholly different way of
life. The thing that made the
conversation extra enjoyable,
was the fact that neither of us
judged the other as better or
worse - just different.
Shortly after she got off, a boy
got oh the bus and sat down
beside me. It turned out that he
had just finished school for the
year, no exams to write, and had
taken off to visit a friend in
Georgetown. Listening to him
recount all the bad and good
things about his first year of high
school, brought back a lot of
memories for me too. High school
had seemed so far away, but the
more we talked, the closer it got.
BREAKFAST IN BED
FOR
DAD!
Sunday . June 18
Then before we realized it, we
were in Georgetown, and just a
hop, skip and a jump from,
Brampton. I couldn't believe it, I
had been riding the bus for
almost four hours, and although I
was stiff and sore, and though the
windows were still dirty, I hadn't
minded a bit. In fact, I almost
enjoyed myself.
I won't promise to take the bus
now, everywhere I go, but at least
I learned that whether I enjoy it
or not, almost depends on me,
It has become increasingly
evident in the past few years that
society, in general has come to
recognize and appreciate a whole
new status of-people. It is not a
new ethnic group. They have
always been here. But before,
they were thought of useless
burdens, and were shoved off to a
corner, or to an institution, to
vegetate.
This sounds impossible you
say? But it is true. Not until the
past few years has the true
An evening honoring (Mrs. H.
Ft.) Anna Rokeby-Thomas,
author of the recently published
"Ningiyuk's Igloo World," was
held in the St. Thomas Anglican
Church, Granton, on June 7, The
writer was charming, as she
received the guests,
She was assisted by Mrs.
Gordon Hodgins and Mrs.
Kenneth Hodgins, while Mrs.
Lois Herbert was in charge of the
guest book. Mrs. Allan Hodgins
served punch in the social half
hour preceding the dinner.
Thegrace was asked by Rev,
H. F. Rokeby-Thomas, there was
a toast to the Queen and then
everyone enjoyed the
smorgasbord banquet.
A unique feature of the table
nature and value of our senior
citizens been appreciated, But
the rise of such events as "Shut-
ins Day," "Nursing Home Week"
and "Senior Citizens Week" has
illustrated the change.
Senior citizens, themselves,
are realizing that they can live
active, involving lives, and are
creating their own activities,
both for themselves and the
community.
This week is Nursing Home
Week, and Next week is Senior
Citizen's week. We should all
make an attempt to contribute
our share, both by visiting, and
talking to the senior citizens,and
by educating ourselves to the fact
that they are no longer outcasts.

older,, we're supposed to get
more like a peach, inside, as we
get more like a prune outside;
otherwise, what's the point?"
was a- cake in the shape of an
open book, decorated with "Best
Wishes, Anna, On Igloo World."
This was the cake artistry of Mrs.
Donald Roloson.
Mrs. Gordon Hodgins, A.C.W.
president, was chairman for the
program which followed the
dinner when Miss Marion Her-
bert entertained with two piano
instrumentals. The next number
entitled "Congratulations Anna"
was chaired by Mrs. Clarence
Lewis, when best wishes and
congratulations were extended
on behalf of the Anglican Church
by Larry Lewis; the St. Thomas'
Anglican Church Women by Mrs.
Gordon Hodgins, the United
Church by Mrs. C. B. Westman
in.the absence of Rev. Susan
Pill is a problem
The impact of the pill is one of
the problems facing nursing
school training programs, Milton
Oris of the college and university
affairs provincial department,
said at the annual meeting of the
Perth-Huron Regional School of
Nursing.
Because of the pill obstetrics
cases are less frequent and the
result is fewer opportunities for
student nurses to work in ob-
stetrics, he said.
Mr. Oris outlined transition of
nursing education moving from
the health field to the field of
general education. Technique
changes, new drug therapy and
the complicated machinery
which a student now has to face in
intensive care units, means the
student's training has to include
more than just nursing a patient.
The school now has 123 students
of whom 70 are expected to
graduate in September. In
September 1971 there were 42
graduates and 14 of them are still
working in Huron-Perth
hospitals.
Members of the 1972-73 board of
trustees are: Miss A. M.
Claypole, Mrs. Helen Mickle both
of Exeter; Mrs. Wilfred Carr, G.
O. Dickinson, Dr. A. R. Rowe,

compiled various booklets and
histories, and is at present editor
of the Northern Lights magazine
for the Northern Institutes.
Mrs. Percy Hodgins then
proposed a toast to the writer and
the success of Igloo 'World. Anna
Rokeby-Thomas' reply was a
fascinating resume of her writing
career, the disappointments
experienced and the fulfillment
of having her book published. She
also told the basic background of
her second book, which she has
already commenced. It will be
for older boys, the story of a
crippled Eskimo youth, which
will be more harsh, and more
realistic than her first book.
She would also like to write a
book of Eskimo legends, many of
which have never been recorded.
As a fitting conclusion, all sang
"For she's a jolly good fellow,"
and everyone had the privilege of
obtaining autographed copies of
Igloo World.
