I was never too sure just what that milestone was, whether an assumption of particular responsibilities which one was too young to assume before, or whether it was simply the fact that others were supposed to consider you a mature adult, Well, my birthday came and went last August without a single visible sign of this milestone, If you recall, I wrote at the time that it was sort of an anti-climax to the exciting stories I had read and heard about reaching that golden age. Since then, nothing else untoward has happened to indicate that I was now a recognized somebody in this world - not just a mere teenager or 20-year-old. (That is, of course, If you ignore my official recognition by the government in that I finally had to fill out an income tax form. Big thrill! ) But as of last weekend, I finally feel that I have reached that milestone: I have fulfilled a goal which will forever stand out in my memory as the one great accomplishment of my 22nd year. The occasion? - I drove all the way to and inside Metro Toronto, alone, and I only got lost twice. That really is quite an achievement for someone who had to ask directions in Hensall three times in one afternoon, It may.not seem like much for a seasoned driver, or to someone who is used to driving into strange towns and cities all the time and just using his or her common sense and natural in- stincts to take them to their final destination. But for me it meant overcoming a phobia which has been ingrained since I was old enough to know what a car is. My parents live only about 60 miles north of Toronto. So it is not unusual to drive down just for the day to do some shopping, or even to take a Sunday drive to visit friends in the city for dinner and to return the same evening. It's certainly not the same as un- Shows beauty, work in India 'prank Whilsmith, Willowdale was the guest speaker for the thank-offering meeting of the Presbyterian Church Women in Caven Church Sunday evening. He gave an illustrated address on a recent visit to India in his capacity as Canadian Director of the Christian Children's Fund and Church Chairman of the Presbyterian Administrative Council. While not minimizing the problems of India, Mr. Whilsmith dwelt on the beauty to be found and the positive side of the work being performed by Christian church, especially in the field of youth mission schools. Here homeless children are given love and hope, as well as food and shelter. President Mrs. H. Strang presided for the meeting, and Mrs. D. Webster developed the theme of "Integration" using scripture verses. A quartet consisting of Cynthia Gunn, Mrs. Alex Meikle, Mrs. M. McLeod and Mrs. David Moore provided two selections. dertaking a trip all the way from Exeter to Toronto, But even at home, there is a certain admiration and respect held for anyone who is willing to attack the city on four wheels, regardless of care for life and limb. Among the men, of course, it isn't as rare, In the course of business or pleasure, it isn't uncommon for them to make the occasional trip to the city. This isn't to imply that their wives or girlfriends don't go along. But to be realistic, almost always the male drives, whether the female has a licence or not. Think about it! How often have you ever seen a man and woman go to get into a car and the man take his "natural" seat on the passenger side, and the woman assume the duties of driving? I would guess not too often. And as any driver (and ex-passenger) knows, it is much easier to learn streets and directions if you are doing the driving and not just the observing. At any rate, it is somewhat more rare for women to drive to Toronto, except to the very outskirts of the city. Not much wonder I grew up dreading the thoughts of attempting this practically impossible task, and admiring anyone who could do it. But last weekend I overcame, at least partially, my fear of this great unknown and made the plunge, so to speak. My girlfriend called me Friday night asking me to go down Saturday. I avoided giving her a final answer by saying that I would call the next morning if I decided not to go. All the time she was saying, "Oh come on Sue, it's really not hard at all. Anybody can do it". Of course, not having a car, she has never done it herself, but that was beside the point. Much to my continuing amazement I made it, without any errors, right to Spadina and Bloor, where my girlfriend lives, (Notice how I tossed off those street names so non- chalantly, just like a seasoned pro.) But then, when I was within two blocks of her place, I missed the turn and went a couple of streets too far. So I had to drive around for 10 or 15 minutes until I got my bearings. But it certainly wasn't the nightmarb I had expecterdlirl walked in feeling proud as a peacock and about 10 feet tall. I missed a cut-off on the way home too, and found myself on the QEW heading to Hamilton. But from somewhere deep inside, my natural homing instinct took over and I found myself back on 427 heading to the 401 in about five minutes, and with no back- tracking, Now that I am an accomplished driver, I can make a few ob- servations about that habit. I think the thing which frightens most people about driving in cities such as Toronto is the speed the cars travel at, and I must say it is a bit unnerving at times. If you could take your time driving along those freeways and ex- pressways, just about anyone could find their way because with only a couple exceptions, it is well and clearly marked. But of course, the "express" ways aren't made for Sunday driver types, You can sure get some strange looks though, I was bombing along about 50 miles per hour in a 55 speed zone (quite fast con- sidering my own circumstances) and all these cars were zipping past upwards of 70 mph. But the looks they gave me putting along in my little "red bomb" are like the looks someone gives you at a high-class party to make you think your slip is showing. And it is sort of strange driving in five lanes, all one way, when the most you are used to is two. If you are sure of where you are going, it's not so bad, You can keep to the left or right as the case may be. But if you're not sure, and have to drive in the middle lane as I did, you run the risk of being cut off either to the left or right when it is time to make your cut-off. And your mind can play strange tricks on you at times like that, I looked in my rear- view mirror once to see one car approaching quickly from the rear, flanked by two other cars, one on each side. It reminded me of the charge of the not-so-light brigade, The one thing I purposefully neglected to do was phone my mother to tell her I was driving to Toronto, so she wouldn't be worried. I didn't count on the fact that she would call in my ab- sense, however, and there was a message waiting for me telling me to call her as soon as I returned. She was reassured though when she heard my healthy voice from Exeter, and will probably remain so until I make my next dangerous and exciting venture to the big city. Huronview news "Breakthrough into New Life" was the theme of the annual meeting of the Huron Diocesan, Anglican Church Women which was held at the teachers college, London on April 26. The annual thankoffering was presented during the service of Holy Communion in the morning when the celebrant was Bishop Carmen Queen, assisted by several ministers.

A major ACW project is St, Monica House, Kitchener, a home for unwed mothers, Other projects include support of missionary workers in India, Uganda and among the Indians and others in Northern Canada and the Huron Church Camp for young people at Bayfield, The Executive Director of the Diocese, Archdeacon Morse Robinson was the speaker at the conference. lie stressed the need of living the new life in Christ, of rising after death in resurrection and power to witness and to love. "The Christian community must become concerned with the needs of people for an abundant life of faith and hope," he said. Delegates attending, from Trivitt Church were Mrs. Ann Doidge, Mrs. Ella Middleton, Marion Bissett, Mrs. A. Bierling and Mrs. A. G. Anderson, and from St. Pauls Hensall Mrs, D, Windover.
