I would do just about anything to get out of practicing my piano lessons, even going so far as to say I had homework to do. I used to hate coming home from school because I knew that hour of practicing stretched ahead before I could go out and do the things I wanted. Nor did it matter how many times they told me that it was for my own good; I just never believed them,And I get almost embarrassed when I think how awful it must have been for my piano teacher, when she knew that I not only hadn't practiced, but didn't want to be there at all. It finally got to the point where my mother and father were sick to death of hearing me gripe, and my piano teacher had finally given up. I didn't mind a bit when they said they weren't going to pay for me to take any more lessons, Now of course, I am really sorry that I didn't continue with the scales and finger exercises. And I turn green with envy when I listen to friends who had a little more foresight than I and fur- thered their musical education, But then this is a fairly common example of this type of behavior, Another part of the whole "childish" syndrome is not ap- preciating the time and energy many people spend to make opportunities such as this one available. When I was a kid, we used to think it was our parents' and other adult's duty to keep us occupied, to lead our various groups, such as Explorers, CGIT, and 4-H. It has not been until recently that I have begun to really ap- preciate the amount of work that goes into leading a group of this sort. Last weekend, for example, I attended the graduation exer- cises of the ballet classes Debi Wooden has been conducting. Debi is a grade 11 student at SH- DHS, teaches ballet to more than 40 little girls, and one little boy on Saturday mornings, and takes five hours of dancing lessons het'self in London, all'in addition tot her schtzfeW 'work, and other, interests and recreations. Now that's really dedication. Another group I have found to be very active in this area is guiding. It seems that just about every week, I meet someone else who involved in one way or another with the work of the Guides and Brownies. We didn't have either of these groups close to home, so I didn't know anything about them before I came to Exeter, And what I have learned has absolutely staggered me. There are over 300,000 Brownies (aged 7-10), Guides (aged 10-14) and Rangers (aged 14-18) in Canada. They belong to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, part of an international fellowship of over six and one half million members in 91 countries. There are also Brownies and Guides in other countries not yet members of the World Association. The mind boggles! Guiding, was founded by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, and started in Great Britain in 1909, It came to Canada in 1910, and by its 50th an- niversary, Canadian Guiding was active in every province, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. It also included Companies and Packs on Foreign Soil and the Guides Catholiques du Canada. The aim of the Guides is "to assist in character development, and encourage girls to be responsible citizens of their community and the world," The girls can earn any number of badges, to show their ac- complishments, and it is all done according to their levels of in- terest and ability. The badges Huronview news Mrs. E.R. Luther, Hensall led the Christian Woman's Club song service Sunday evening in the chapel, with Mr, Luther providing the organ ac- companiment for the hymn sing. June Campbell played several accordion solos and Mrs. Gwen Whilsmith led the devotional period, illustrating theBible story with coloured slides. Monday's program had an Irish theme, in honor of Saint Patrick. One of the guests of the day, Mrs. Wolfe, who lives near Dublin and plays piano and harmonica, played for the sing- along of Irish songs and joined Marie Flynn, Norman Spier and Jerry Collins for the old-time music. A vocal solo by Morgan Dalton and the singing of Happy Birthday were included in the afternoon's activities, with the assistance of the Christian Reformed volunteers and Mr. and Mrs. Dale, A special Irish program was arranged and directed on family night by Mrs. Glanville, who is the daughter of the well-known step-dance teacher, Mrs. Orville Storey of Seaforth and is following in her mother's foot- steps with classes in Brussels and Mitchell. Nelson Howe, of Staff a, with violin, accompanied at the piano by Marie Flynn of Clinton, played for the dancers and played a melody of old-time and Irish favorites. Dancers included the Steppers Five from Brussels, Brenda Chamley, Mary Ann Benard, Wendy Adams, Laurie Elliott and Karen McLean. There were in- dividual dances by Vanda Storey, Ted Elliott, and the Irish Washerwoman by Sherri Storey and Vicky Bennewies. Marlene and Valerie Glanville played guitar and sang some popular numbers. Members of the Clinton Kinettes and their families visited the home Friday morning to honor their adopted grand- parents on Saint Patricks. cover such diverse interests as cooking, first aid, and gardening, dancing, baton twirling, horse riding, outdoor adventure, water skiing,and many, many, more, Now, to get back to the original topic, just think how many people work, both full-time and part- time, around the world to keep guiding alive. Unfortunately, most of us do not realize the extent of the work and dedication involved in leading or organizing any of the activities I have mentioned. But as our parents always warned when we dared to show our ingratitude, "Just wait, Your turn will come". + + One of the nicest Christmas presents I received this year was a calendar from a girl-friend, entitled "The art of living." With each different month is a little gem of philosophy. During this month of tax returns, and win- ter's dulled spirits, we could probably all use the following piece of advice: "Meet the challenge of life with the art of laughter . . Develop a playful attitude toward problems; handle them with a light touch. Use laughter as a safety valve to keep yourself sane and relaxed. Remember the old proverb; 'A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men'. "Use laughter to set healing vibrations into motion - to fill a room with the sunshine of good cheer, Most of all, learn to laugh at yourself. Laughter is the best medicine for a long and happy life. "He who laughs. . . .lasts!" Theatre work half finished Although the theatre season does not open until July in Grand Bend, people involved with the Huron Country Playhouse have not stopped working all winter preparing for it. The Playhouse received a LIP grant for the renovation of its facilities, but it now needs more money for building materials. The project, now half-way through, will make a marked change in the Playhouse facilities this summer. "One day, it will be the pride of the entire community," said managing , director James Murphy. "Right now, of course, we're wading through mud like everyone else". Grand Bend merchants are sponsoring a benefit bingo party for the Playhouse, March 28 at the Legion Hall in Grand Bend. In addition to cash prizes, many other prizes will be given, in- cluding some season tickets for the upcoming season, which opens July 11. People are invited to drop by to see the progress_ at the Playhouse.

Mom stronger than law New safety regulations for all types of matches are now in force under the Hazardous Products Act. Laws however, are no substitute for careful parental supervision. Even a perfectly manufactured match, con- forming to all federal regulations, can be a lethal in- strument in the hands of a child.
