I don't remember ever seeing such a hard fought election campaign before, but then I haven't been involved with that many elections, and never with a byelection. I have discovered, however, that a byelection is a completely different entity than any other type of electoral race. Although there is an incumbent political party, there is no incumbent candidate, and this leaves the riding more or less wide open to the advances of new contestants. Because it is not a province- wide election, it also means that the top "brass" of the various parties can make a more con- centrated effort to enhance to chances of their representitives. The heads of the three provincial parties have all visited the riding at least once during the cam- paign. Premier William Davis was the first to make the rounds, at least in Exeter, and exactly a week later, both Stephen Lewis of the NDP and Robert Nixon of the Liberals visited town. I must confess that I was just getting over the fact of having interviewed Mr. Lewis when Mr. Nixon toured through the office. Not being used to meeting so many "celebrities" all at once I just about pulled the blurb of the week and called him Mr. Lewis, Luckily I was able to curb my tongue. It sure made a great im- pression at home last weekend too when I indulged in a bit of name dropping. All my relatives were suitably impressed when I sort of casually tossed off the fact that I had met the three provincial party leaders in one week. Of course I tried not to let them know I was excited too. My sister is in much the same position in Toronto. She lives in the riding of St. George, where the other provincial byelection is taking place. Although she hasn't met any of the big names, she and her roommates have been the subjects of high pressure salesmanship from represen- tatives of all the candidates down there. She lives on the top floor of a walk-up apartment building and she told me that in one night, the Liberal candidate was walking down one set of stairs, the NDP was going door-to-door along the hall, and the Conservative was working his way up the other set of stairs. The Communist party candidate followed shortly behind the PC, she added. Jane was beginning to wonder if they were all travelling together to save time and gas money, At any rate, it will be very interesting to see the outcome of all this hard work. I'm afraid I'm not going to be as brave as the editor and make my predictions in print, but you can rest assured that a small inter-office wager rests on the outcome. It has occurred to me that there might be special significance in the fact that the byelections are scheduled so close to St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick, of course, is the patron saint of Ireland, and if my memory serves me right, he is credited with chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. I don't know anything about Premier Davis' family tree, but you never know what he might make of that symbolism. In view of everything that is happening in that country now, however, probably none of the candidates would thank me for wishing them the traditional "luck of the Irish", Even though the weather is getting warmer all the time, it might surprise you to know that already some people are thinking about and making plans for the Exeter fall fair. But Mrs. George Sereda and Mrs. Ross Skinner, president and vice-president, respectively, of the ladies' division of the Exeter Agricultural Society are full of plans for up-dating their home department, and for making this fair the best of the century. There are a couple of classes especially for centennial. One is Municipal representatives on the board are Lloyd Ferguson, reeve of *Osborne Township; Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey Township; Hullet Township deputy-reeve Charles Scanlon and Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle. Directors are: Ivan Haskins, Mrs. James Hayter, Mrs. William Ball, Mrs. Russell Snider, Mrs. Roy Westcott, Mrs. Raymond Redmond, James Doig, Mrs. Fred Howson and A. D. Smith. In the annual report of the president, Mrs. Bartliff said that. 1972 had been a "very busy one and we hope, fruitful year, in a reformulation of policy and of our services, in particular our move into specialized foster care, and continuing focus on behalf of the child in his own home." She also reported that during the past year, the hoard studied its own structure with a view to retaining appropriate com- munity representation, but at the same lime, streamlining its governing of the society. With this in mind, a decision was reached to reduce the board to one of 11 members over a three- year period. Bruce Heath, local director of the CAS told the society that the total child care population had again been reduced in 1972, "to a significant degree wherein we called the "centennial special", For this, the ladies hope to get up- to-date work in the old style of construction: things such as a sofa pillow, tatting, knitted lace, and crewel work. There is also a class for a centennial quilt and one for a centennial flower arrangement and all the ladies working at the fair will be in traditional dress, Mrs. Sereda also said that they would like a display of centennial artifacts if anyone has something to lend the committee, One of the new features at this year's fair will be the crowning of a sewing queen and runner-up. In previous years, only a baking queen was crowned. In order to attract the par- ticipation of the teens, a special award will be made to the girl between the ages of 14 and 20 who accumulates the most points in the three sewing classes (ladies, men's and children's wear) and a similar prize in the domestics, The sewing department itself is being updated to include such fashionable items as palazzo pants and bag pants, and the Junior Homemaking division (for 44-1 members only) now includes a class for the popular macrame work and for clothing such as a blazer and a long dress. There is lots in store for the girl who is crowned as fair queen this year too, and it is hoped that many young girls will enter the contest. The winner will be in- vited to the area fair board meeting to meet with other area fair queens and she will be en- tertained at the annual fair board convention to be held next February in Toronto. She might eventually compete in the "Miss Sweetheart" competition at the CNE and the first prize there includes $1,000 and a trip to the Calgary Stam- pede. So girls, take heed! The fair, which is 19 years older than the town, will be held September 21 & 22 and it is hoped that some ladies are already' considering, or even working on their entries. All former have returned a surplus of almost $23,000 of our direct child care costs." He reported that just under 50 percent of the children are now13 years of age and over, and said he saw no reason to forecast a lessening of this percentage. "Unfortunately, I also cannot foresee any simultaneous in- crease in traditional foster care resources to meet the needs of the adolescent in care," he said. He added that he could not speak too highly of the foster parents who "have undertaken the time-consuming and challenging tasks on behalf of the teenagers coming to us, but we would be naive . . . to think that we can avoid expansion of ap- propriate group and specialized foster care under our own auspices and expansion of special facilities with our neighbouring Children's Aid Societies." Of the 74 children in careat the end of the year, 34 children were 13 years and over; 22 were in the 5-12 year old range; and 18 children from birth to 4 years. Honorary members appointed for 1973 are: Mrs. George Johnston, Harry McCreath, Arthur Curry, R. B. Cousins, John Winter, Charles Robertson, Hugh Berry, Mrs. Albert Taylor, Mrs. Frank Fingland, Mrs. Howard Klumpp and Mrs. Kenneth Johns. '9.50 '8.00 '6.75 The Presbyterian Church Women held their meeting at the church Monday. Mrs. Jack Pryde led the devotional on "Hidden art" which this month was food. As Christians, we must not waste food, but should prepare it lovinglyfor ourhusbands, families and the stranger who knocks at the door, said Mrs. Pryde. Mrs. Lee Learn and Mrs. Cliff Ersman read the scripture passages, and Sandra Iles gave selections on the piano, exhibitors will be sent a copy of the fair brochure, outlining the various divisions and classes. The pamphlet will also be made available for new exhibitors. "We want people to enter," said Mrs. Sereda. And as Mrs. Skinner added, "What's the fair without the ladies' work." Mrs. D. Webster took the study on India. She said that religion affects everyone, and par- ticularly the people of India economically, politically and socially. There are many religions in that country, in- cluding Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Jains, Sikhs, Yoga and Christianity, Plans were made for the spring thank-offering meeting to be held April 29 at the church. The speaker will be Frank Whilsmith who will show slides on India. The ways and means com- mittee reported that a "New to U" sale will be held May 11 at the church., and the take out beef dinner April 1, White shirts were brought by members to be sent to Blyth to be made into hospital gowns.
