homes and programs will vary
from home to home depending on
the residents themselves and the
facilities available,
Have you ever tried to build a
chimney out of stirofoam? Unless
you have a very strange house or
unless you were building a float
for Saturday's giant parade (as
in this case) it is a doubtful
possibility,
But this was just one of the few
problems encountered during the
past few weeks as the T-A staff
prepared for, participated in and
reported on all the events of
centennial.
Actually, I myself must take all
blame for the chimney. I came
along just as some of the men
were putting finishing touches on
our float for the centennial
parade, As you are probably
aware, they attacked the very
ambitious project of building a
replica of the town hall on top of a
car.
Just about the time I arrived,
they realized they had forgotten
about the chimneys, and seeing
as I happened to be doing
nothing, the lot fell to me to
provide the chimneys.
As anyone who noticed the
chimneys will say, they were
definitely not pieces of ar-
chitectural genius, All it really
involved was cutting four square
pieces of stirofoam, painting
them and then putting it together.
But it was this last job that
provided the difficulty.
"Use this glue, Susan. It will
stick forever," I was advised. But
it sure wouldn't stick for me,
Somebody suggested staples and
someone else thought that an
elastic would do the trick, but
somehow, I just couldn't picture
an "authentic" chimney held
together with an elastic.
Finally someone got the bright
idea to use masking tape.
Although it didn't add much to
the authenticity of the chimney
either, it proved to be the most
practical suggestion and the
chimneys finally reached their
proper destination,
That was not the end of the
problems with the float, however.
One of the more humorous
The berries and fruits of
Ontario provide mix and match
variety with pork dishes, says the
Ontario Pork Institute.
Favourites are spiced pears,
curried mixed fruit, and honey-
glazed peaches from Niagara
orehardR,
aspects shaped up something like
this. We had to find a place to
store the float to keep it relatively
sheltered from the elements. The
only place really available was
back in a corner beside Gunn's
Hardware store, The driver of the
vehicle was having some dif-
ficulty in maneuvering and
suddenly the following headline
came to mind: "Hardware store
demolished by town hail".
Luckily, we won't have to feature
that story, but it would have been
eye-catching,
As far as this goes, however, it
was not even the beginning of our
problems.
Ross, the T-A photographer
and I had big plans to cover the
parade, but we wanted to avoid a
great deal of duplication. So we
had this plan to rendezvous part
way through, just to keep track of
what each other was doing.
As might have been expected,
with the great throngs of people
on the streets and all over town
Saturday, we never did meet. As
it turned out, there was no great
difficulty here either.
But the biggest problem simply
centred around getting from one
event to another quickly enough
to cover it. I never really realized
how much was going on, and how
many people there were until I
tried to rush from one event to the
next. My apologies to anyone I
trampled in the rush.
Actually, this portion of the
column should be written by
Janet and the editor, who did the
majority of the work, and got the
majority of the headaches,
By now, just about everyone
has had a chance to pass final
judgment on the paper, and most
of the feedback indicates that it
was quite well received, in spite
of misplaced pictures, stories
which had to be written at the last
minute, page numbers getting
mixed up, T-A files that com-
pletely disappeared, etc., etc., ad
infinitum.
In fact one page got in twice. I
expect it will be well read.
Another whole page, which was
actually typed, set up and ready
to go, was also completely lost.
Our apologies to the group whose
article didn't get in the paper
because of it.
In defence of all these things, I
must say however, that in
general, the special centennial
edition came off looking very
well, considering that it is by far
the largest publication ever put
out by the T-A, and considering
that this was all in addition to
each week's regular edition of the
paper.
I am only glad the editor had a
day or two to rest between the
day of publication and the
beginning of centennial
festivities. Many of us were
wondering if he would actually
make, it.
One day, for example, he in-
formed us that we would need as
much copy again as we already
had, In fact, we would have had
to have a 200-page paper to hold
this amount. But this is just the
way his mind was working.
He would come tearing into
Janet's office demanding pic-
tures that never existed and
stories we had already used.
One night, after a particularly
trying day and an equally long
night, he finally headed for home.
He walked out the front door of
the T-A, closed it behind him, and
then turned around and walked
right back in again.
"I forgot my car at the back,"
he said rather sheepishly.
Another day, at the end of the
afternoon break, he put an empty
pop bottle back in the frig and
almost had the door closed before
he realized what he had done.
Anyone who knows the editor
can imagine what effect this sort
of behavior had on the rest of the
staff. Here was the editor,
usually calm, cool, collected and
totally sure of himself in any
situation, walking around in a
complete daze at times. It was
enough to throw the rest of us
mere mortals into a dither.
As far as I have been able to
tell, however, most of us came
through the past two weeks with
our sanity still intact, and for this
we can be grateful,
I must say though that all the
confusion has rather dampened
our enthusiasm, at least tem-
porarily, for Exeter's next
centennial.
Member leads
centennial quiz
The Hurondale Women's
Institute centennial meeting was
held in Usborne School.
The Tweedsmuir history and
executive committee were in
charge with Mrs. Wm. Lamport
in the chair. A number of the
members were dressed in cen-
tennial costume,
Roll call was "Bring your
oldest possession and describe
it". This proved very interesting.
The motto, "A priceless
possession is a heritage "was
given by Mrs. Arthur Rundle.
Mrs. Wm. Dougall conducted a
sing song. Mrs. Beth Batten had a
Exeter centennial quiz with
questions and answers which
were very informative.
The president, Mrs. Carl Mills
conducted the business. A
committee was appointed to work
at the bean festival to be held in
Zurich August 25. A bus trip is
being planned to Stoney Creek
August 29.
Mrs. Wm. Dougall reported
sending some Home & country
magazines to the North West
Territories.
