ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED — Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Patterson
of Woodstock, are pleased to announce the engagement of their
daughter Linda Diane to Mr. David James Statham, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon H. Statham of Ingersoll. The wedding will take place at
Egerton Street Gospel Chapel in London, on November 11, 1972 at
3:30 P.M.
Well, it finally happened! I've
been waiting for no, anticipating
is better - it ever since I got my
car, and last week I had my first
flat tire,
It's not that unusual an oc-
currence, Lots of people have flat
tires, and it is just one of the
"tiresome" responsibilities of
owning a car. Nor is this really
my first-ever flat tire. But the
first one was with my father's
car, in broad daylight, in the
laneway of our house, and I was
able to call a neighbor to help me
fix it.
After that, I made sure I got a
lesson in what to do, just in
case....But nothing prepared me
for what happened the other
night.
Picture the scene. I'm driving
back to Exeter after visiting
some friends in London. It's
about one o'clock in the morning,
and there are very few cars on
the road.
Suddenly there is a big bang,
and the car starts weaving, I
finally get it under control, pull
onto the gravel, and get out to
investigate.
There is the car, sitting on the
wheel rim, and the back left tire in
shreds and smoking, almost too
hot to touch.
I still don't know what hap-
pened. I didn't hit anything,and I
For the first week after her
move to Exeter, Betty De Block
and her husband Jim had to
`camp out" in sleeping bags on
the floor of their apartment on
Sanders St. The only utensils she
had were two coffee mugs and
one pan.
But now that the movers found,
and delivered her furnture, she is
feeling much better about her
move to Exeter. The De Blocks
just arrived here from Bramp-
ton, where they have lived since
their marriage last October. Mr.
De Block works for Brockville

wasn't going fast, but at that
point, I wasn't really worried.
about how it had happened.
I thought of pulling the old
helpless female routine, but
decided that wasn't going to get
me anyplace, I could have waited
all night for a car to come along.
There were no lights on any of
the farmhouses near-by, and the
nearest village was five miles
away. So after taking stock of the
situation, and uttering only mild
epithets at my predicanient, I
decided to do what any liberated,
independent, capable 'female
would do - change it myself,
"It doesn't matter that it is
pitch-black out, that you have
never really changed a tire all by
yourself before," I kept telling
myself. "You'll just have to do
the best you can."
Having thus established my
despair, and fortified my lack of
enthusiasm for the job ahead, I
opened the trunk, and started
taking out the things I would
need: wrench, tire, jack.,. But I
couldn't find the jack. -
There was one piece of
equipment I didn't recognize, but
it certainly didn't look like any
jack I had ever seen before. When
I finally figured out that it ac-
tually was the jack, I really didn't
know what to do. What is the good
of knowing how to change a tire if
Chemicals, and was transferred
here to be area manager for
Huron County.
Both are graduates of Centralia
College, and Mrs. De Block
worked as a dental assistant in
Brampton. She would like to find
a job around here, or perhaps in
London, but says they are very
scarce.
In the meantime, she is busy
setting up house and persuing the
hobbies which appeal to both she
and her husband. Their apart-
ment is evidence of the fact that
both are talented and creative.
They have a beautiful big
bookshelf, made out of stained
wood and patio stones, and a
painted cream can for a
telephone table, among other
things.
Both like doing all sort of arts
and crafts and have made
everything from raffene lamp-
shades to candles and stuffed
animals for Christmas gifts.
They also enjoy swimming,
camping and tenting, and
travelling, and just returned
from a three-week trip to
England. "It was sort of a post-
poned honeymoon," said Mrs. De
Block.
In addition to her other in-
terests, Mrs. De Block is in-
terested in sewing; "Just for
myself, not for other people," she
said. But she hopes to take a
course this fall for sewing
lingerie, for Christmas gifts. She
and her husband also hope to take
up curling.
Mrs. De Block was a little
apprehensive about moving here,
because she likes Toronto. "But I
have found that people here are
very willing to help, very
friendly," she said. "And with
London so close, I don't think I'll
miss Toronto at all."
Mrs. Gladys Tigani
Think of a psychiatric nurse
who does art work and sings, and
you are thinking of Gladys
Tigani, Sherwood Crescent,
Exeter.
Mrs. Tigani recently • moved
here with her husband, Michael,
and their two children, David, 17
and Renea, 8, from Rannoch, a
village just outside St. Marys.
There was no particular reason
for the move. "We'd been
thinking of moving for quite a
while." said Mrs. Tigani. "I like
you can't get the car jacked up
anyway?
It was just about this point,
when I was staring dejectedly at
the strange piece of equipment,
that I decided to forget my in-
dependence and liberation and
cry instead.
Just then, as luck would have
it, I saw a car coming toward rile,
and wonder of wonders, he had
his blinker on and pulled up
behind me. My knight in shining
armour (actually it was a blue
chevelle) had appeared.
Just for the benefit of the men
in the audience, even he admitted
that the jack was a rather
unusual one,
Anyway, it didn't take long,
and between the two of us, we got
the ruddy tire changed. After I
thanked him, he made the rather
ominous statement that he hoped
it would get me all the way back
to Exeter. With those "words of
encouragement", he drove off,
and left me wondering all the way
home whether the tire was going
to fall off and imagining what I
would do if another one blew.
I did make it back, with all
parts intact, but it just set me to
thinking.
I'm sure there are just as many
Exeter, and we knew quite a few
people here, so we just decided to
move."
"I wanted to live in a small
town," she said. "you can get
more involved in things, and it is
nice to have neighbors so close."
Mr. Tigani is the manager in
the meat department at the IGA
in St. Marys, and Mrs. Tigani has
been a psychiatric nurse at the
London Psychiatric Hospital for
five years.
"It's very interesting work,"
said Mrs. Tigani, "but sort of
trying at times." She has worked
on several different wards in the
hospital, but two years ago,
applied for the adolescent drug
abuse ward. There are a
maximum of 18 youths on the
ward at one time, usually ranging
between the ages of 14 and 18. The
staff to patient ratio is about one
to four or five.
"That's just fine if you have a
good group of kids," said Mrs.
Gladys Tigani
Tigani. "At other times, it can be
quite a handful."
The rehabilitation program
ranges. from recreation and
occupational therapy, to group
therapy. The hospital is presently
offering a wining course in
family therapy, and Mrs. Tigani
would very much like to take it.
In addition to her work, Mrs.
Tigani is a budding artist. "I just
started sketching, and found out I
wasn't too bad," she said. She
would like to take night classes to
further her talents in sketching,
and to learn oils.
The Tiganis attend the Pen-
tecostal Church in town, and it
was in church, that Mrs. Tigani
started singing. Now she sings at
quite a few weddings.
"Everytime I finish, I think what
a mess I made," she said, "but
people kept asking me, so I guess
I'm not all that bad."

men as women drivers who find
themselves in equally em-
barrassing and unnerving
positions. Men must and do have
as many accidents as women.
Why, then, is it always the
women drivers who get picked
on?
I can just imagine what that
fellow might have been thinking
about ill-prepared women,
drivers, and in my case, it might
be justified, but not generally.
Everyone knows that accident
for accident, women have better
driving records than men. But
that has never stopped the rash of
jokes and comments about
women drivers.
I puzzled over this situation for
quite awhile, until I came across
this little gem: The only dif-
ference between men and women
drivers is ,that women have ac-
cidents so seldom, they talk about
them more.
I am pleased to announce that
last week's column got some
reaction, at least among the
people at the office.
Some jumped on the national
bandwagon, and said in effect,
that I was going to be left at the
end of the parade when Canada
wins.
Others, surprisingly, admitted
that they agreed with me.
And a couple said I didn't know
what I was talking about because
after all, "Isn't that just like a
woman?"
But my ideas are still set. And
the net result has been a couple of
wagers. One is a normal-type bet,
with the stakes of a hamburger
and milk-shake for me if the
Russians take the series.
But the other is more in-
teresting. Our esteemed sport's
editor has promised that he will
eat his column if Russia wins five
games. At time of writing, that
possibility is•still a piece off. But
if and when it happens, I will be
more than pleased to grant him
the one concession requested -
barbecue sauce.
J. Philip Gandon, a former
rector of Trivitt Memorial
Church, now executive-director
of London Goodwill Industries
Association, will speak at the
first fall meeting of Exeter
District Christian Women's, Club,
Friday morning.
Rev. Gandon served the
Exeter-Hensall diocese from 1963
to 1967. During his residency in
Exeter, the popular minister was
elected to the town council, was
deputy-reeve for a time, and was
active in many other facets of the
community.
During the 13 years he spent as
'a full-time parish priest in the
Anglican church, Mr. Gandon
says he tried to emphasize that
the church is the means through
which God expresses His will in
the world today in worship,
personal commitment and a
concern for the needs of people,
In the last few years of his
ministry, he says he became
increasingly frustrated by the
lack of concern in the organized
church for reaching out to people
in need and its seemingly greater
involvement in maintaining its
own existence.
As executive director of
Goodwill Industries, Mr. Gandon

on youth, but the stress is on
parents.
states he feels he is better able to
express his Christian faith in a
Rev. Gandon
practical way by meeting people
at their point of need.

time with Goodwill Industries,

time ministry at St. James
Westminister Anglican Church,
London.

profit social service agency

evaluation, training and,
placement for physically,
mentally and emotionally han-
dicapped people, Although it is a

member of the International
Council of Goodwill Industries
with 200 workshops in 23 coun-
tries throughout the world.
All Exeter and district women
are invited to hear Mr. Gandon
speak, Friday morning at 9;30 at
