But to people with whom you have been closely associated for some time, people who move right out of your life, good-byes are just terrible. And I have been saying a lot of fond farewells in the past few weeks. One of two things can happen when you throw a group of 35 strangers together, in an en- vironment unfamiliar to all. Either they won't mix at all, and everyone will go separate ways: or they will become totally dependent on each other, in times of elation and depression, hard work and play, Fortunately, or perhaps un- fortunately, the latter was the case when I attended Western last year. Each of us in the Journalism class had a degree, the majority from another university. There were kids right from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver, and most of us knew Meet your neighbour Like all newly-wed wives, Janice Magill has her hands full just getting settled. Her husband, John, who is an artist on the staff of the Times-Advocate, has lived and worked in Exeter since last October, and Janice just moved here after their wedding, a little more than a month ago. A small town is quite a change for Janice. Both she and John are from Pointe Claire, a town of about 30,000 people, near Mon- treal. "It's funny, but John and I lived two streets away from each other all our lives, but never met until just over two years ago," said Janice. She feels right at home in Exeter, though. She has met quite a few people, and has had MRS. JANICE MAGILL lots of company. "I haven't met anybody here who I didn't like (snap), just like that. I don't feel a bit homesick," she said. The Magills have a lovely big apartment in the Taylor Apart- ments on Victoria Street, and right now, Jan is busy decorating and setting up house. "It's amazing how many little things you realize you don't have," said Jan, "even things like a can opener and garbage pails." Jan hadn't done much cooking, but now, she is starting to make her own recipes, "I'm really enjoying experimenting with different kinds of casseroles and things," she said, "and I haven't. had a flop yet." She is also learning to sew, is making some of her own clothes, and is going to tackle some drapes for the kitchen. Before she was married, Janice worked for four years. After high school, she took a business course, and worked as a secretary for three years. Then she decided to try something different, so she went into training, and got her R.N.A. papers. She is almost completely bilingual, so she had no trouble getting a job in Quebec. Although she spoke English at home all the time, her grand- parents are French, and en- couraged her to learn the language. "That is one of the things I am going to miss, not speaking any French at all," she said. "But I hope I won't lose too much of what I have learned." Janice would like to get a job sometime, but she thinks she will take, the summer off. "It will give me time to get settled and to get used to everything, DEAR OLD PEANUT BUTTER Do you feel guilty when you slap together peanut butter sandwiches and milk for your kids' lunch? Do you feel as though you should spend more time to fix them something more nourishing? Well, cast your guilts away, says Consumers' Association of Canada. Five ounces of peanut butter wiliprovide a 10 year-Old with the recommended daily allowance of broteirt. very few other people 'in London. It took a while to get over the strangeness, but we soon became completely reliant on each °thee. We worked together, played together, and somehow pushed, prodded and pulled each other through the year. When it came to say good-bye though, we weren't quite so happy. There were very few who didn't shed a tear or two as one by one, we took off to all parts of the country. That's why it is so nice to get mail. There is nothing quite like going to the post-office and seeing a letter, or a card from one of the kids who were just like brothers and sisters to me. When I like receiving mail so much, though, why is it that I am such a lousy correspondent? I have to be in a very particular mood to sit down to write a letter, and believe me, I don't get in that mood very often, It isn't that I begrudge the paper and the stamps. I'm really not that cheap. And it's not because I'm too busy. Sometimes I'll sit at home for a whole night with nothing to do, but if I'm not in the mood, I just cannot write a letter. I think the major problem is time. I had a room-mate once who could sit down and write half a dozen letters in an afternoon, She just said hello, and let the receivers know she was thinking of them. Not me! When I sit down to write a letter, I have to allow at least two hours for it. I have to tell everything that has gone on since our last communication, with all the details in living color, and I usually end up with about three post scripts, filling in with the details I have forgotten in the body of the letter. Once I actually did sit down with the express purpose of writing three or four short letters to friends, just to tell them I was alive and well and living in Exeter. But I just couldn't do it. It took me so long to edit out all the things which I would put in a long letter, and separate them from the few things I could put in a short letter, that I only got two done in a whole evening. I might as well have written my usual book-length. But I think I might have found at least a partial solution to the problem. I bought some cards in a shop that say "Sorry I haven't written." I can send those when I find myself behind in my correspondence, and I don't need to wait for a special occasion. It is really just a form of procrastination, but at least it soothes my conscience somewhat. Now I have another problem, though. My mother isn't satisfied with my partial solution. So I guess I'd better go home tonight and write her a let- ter, ...maybe! + + + I recently heard a phrase that went something like this: "Don't just give a compliment. Pass one along." In short, what it means is that a third-hand compliment is often more valued than a first- hand one, because the subject always knows that it is sincere. Therefore, I would like to pass one along to the people of Exeter. Over and over again, new residents of the town and visitors, have told me how friendly they think the people of Exeter are. From different sized cities, towns and villages around the country, they all say this is one of the first things they notice about this town. People on the street smile and say hello; shop keepers are friendly, and make a point of recognizing you; everyone is interested but not nosey, about what you are doing. You car: have no idea what this means to a stranger in town. But this rare hospitality and community spirit is also evident among the townspeople them- selves. Community projects are approacl•ed with enthusiasm, and once begun are sustained. The adult workshop for the retarded is just one example. The neat and tidy appearance of the town in general, and the park, in particular, is another. The people of Exeter should be commended for this type of spirit, which is surprisingly hard to find in many communities, Just keep up the good work. A family dinner was held at the Dominion Hotel, Zurich for Mr, and Mrs. Lawrence Curts of Grand Bend on the eve of their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
