Menzies, Clinton, chairman of district 2 of the Hospital Auxiliary Association handed Mrs. Olga Davis the official gavel, thus re-installing her as president of the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary, at that organization's annual meeting. Tuesday, Other officers installed were past president, Mrs. Mel Gaiser; first-vice-president and board representative, Mrs. Tom MacMillan; second vice, Mrs. Roylance Westcott; recording secretary, Mrs. Earl Campbell; assistant, Mrs. John Ellwood; corresponding secretary, Marian Bissett; treasurer, Mrs. Norman Stanlake; assistant, Mrs. William Huntley; historian, Mrs. Valeria Armstrong; staff representative, Alice Claypole; Cancer Society representative, Mrs. Harvey Pollen; and pianist, Mrs, Amiel Willard. At the same time, Mrs. Menzies spoke to the ladies and explained the difference between the OHA (Ontario Hospital Association) and the HAA (Hospital Auxiliary Association) . The OHA, she explained, was formed in 1924, is a non-profit organization, and represents all the hospitals (about 300) in the province. The purpose of the OHA is to ensure "top notch hospital care" and it provides many services, including employee prognams within a hospital and publication of various flyers and pamphlets. The auxiliary, however, is more directly concerned with the HAA which is a member of the OHA. The first hospital auxiliary was formed in Brantford in 1910 and there are now 218 hospital auxiliaries• in Ontario represented on the HAA. The purpose of the provincial body is to act as a co-ordinator for its member facilities. Mrs. Menzies estimated that there are approximately 60,000 volunteer hospital workers across the province. She commended all these workers and especially the D istrict chairman installs hospital *auxiliary officers members of the South Huron raising $400 at an annual event aHnorsipeiftafolrAt,uxiliary for their time such as this," Mrs. Menzies told She said they "bring the out- theShlaediaelssO heartily encouraged side inside to the hospital" and the members to attend as many that this is an invaluable service, conventions and district She especially mentioned the meetings as they possibly could, bi-annual rummage sales held by to participate in an ,exchange of the auxiliary. After hearing Mrs. ideas with other auxiliaries. C. Smith report that the spring Each committee convener rummage sale netted almost gave the annual report and $1,800, Mrs, Menzies had high among some of the interesting praise for the auxiliary, doubly so statisticsm relatedturwnetroe because they do this twice a year. Mrs. Delmar Skinner said that "Some places have difficulty Please Have you ever noticed how disgustingly dependent this Supposedly liberated society is on Machines? We have machines of all sorts, to transport us, to en- tertain us, to do our work for us, and in some cases, even to think for us. In case you haven't caught on yet, this tirade is the result of a breakdown in one of these machines, and this column could turn into the third installment in the unending tale of woe of "the red bomb". For the uninitiated, the red bomb is a very suitable name for my car. It earned that name the very first week I drove it, Although my father had driven it for two weeks before, and pronounced it in fairly good condition, the first week I had it, I had to take it into the garage every day before the problem was finally pinpointed as a need for a new alternator. Luckily the car was still under warranty, so except for the in- convenience, this problem didn't bother me too much (except for the fact that during the next month, I spent more time looking at the little red warning buttons on the dashboard than I did watching the road when I was driving). But things went 'along very well, and I had almost regained a certain confidence in the red bomb when a tire blew, half-way between Arva and Birr at about two o'clock in the morning. What do you do? Well, if you're any self- respecting, liberated male or female, and have already assumed the responsibility of owning a car, you change the tire with little problem, But this self-respecting, liberated and slightly irresponsible female didn't know how to work the jack. So being blocked along any other path to a solution, I waited until a good Samaritan came along and of- fered to change it for me. Once again, my confidence in the bomb waned somewhat. But once again, except for a few minor and anticipated problems, the red bomb behaved itself very well. That is, until the night I was driving home from a council meetjng in Lucan, very tired and in slightly fess than good human All of a sudden the car is regiitering hot. As I pull over onto.the shoulder, still about six miles from Exeter, I think, "Well it can't be lack of water: I just filled it up." So I open the hood, and start looking for the problem, all the time acting like I know what I'm doing and realizing that there's probably not a darn thing I can do about it anyway. Finally some good-natured truck driver stops and with one glance tells me the fan-belt is broken. Terrific! There's no way I can get it fixed at that time of night; the transport driver is heading south and there's no way he can drive me into Exeter; it's a long old walk; and I'm bound and determined there is no way I'm going to sleep in the car all night. So I push the car as far off the Rebekahs host assembly head Price of Huron Rebekah Lodge held a banquet at Exeter United Church in honor of the Assembly President Sister Margaret Duck- worth recently. There were visitors from Seaforth, Clinton and London. District Deputy President Sister Mary Grigg also was present, Edelwiess Rebekah Lodge, Seaforth draped the charter in memory of departed sisters. An organization meeting for United Nations Youth Pilgrimage and Eye Research or Amblyopia Committee will be held in Clin- ton. A letter from Stratford Odd- fellows and Rebekahs was read regarding a rally to be held there November 17.Sunshine boxes will be given to sick and shut in members at Christmas. Sister Margaret Duckworth gave an inspiring address on our duties as Rebekahs by using the letters REBEKAH. She also thanked the lodge for making it possible to attend the reception of Queen Elizabeth. She described her as beautiful and petite. A draw for a flower centre piece was won by Sister Vera Pincombe. tloot V eta The Times-Advocate would like to extend bir- thday greetings and best wishes to those members of the Over 80 Club celebrating birthdays this week or in the near future.

It's an ex- perience that has to be tried to be believed. But I wouldn't recommend it unless you ab- solutely have to, Anyway, that was quite a few months ago and except for the odd occurrence, things have been going very well since then - until Sunday night, In fact, just last week I had the red bomb winterized and I was looking forward to a worry-free winter's worth of driving. No such luck! I decided not to leave home (ie my parent's place) until after 9 Sunday night thinking that it gets dark so early now anyway and by that time, there won't be too much traffic on the 100 mile stretch of road back to Exeter. I had to stop for gas and being conscious of the state of the economy (particularly mine) I stopped at the discount gas station about 10 miles from home. I had no sooner parked the red bomb beside the gas tanks when I noticed this stuff that looked an awful lot like smoke wafting out from underneath the dashboard. Notice I said it "looked" like smoke, not smelled like smoke. But I wasn't about to take any chances. I was sure the old car was going to live up to its name and explode before my very eyes. Well, one of the attendants was brave enough to open the hood and instead of a raging fire, all he found was one very bursted radiator hose. And all that stuff coming out of it, which I thought might be smoke, was four quarts of anti-freeze which I had just paid for three days before. Woe is me! By this time it's about 9:30 and certainly too late to get the blasted thing fixed. So I have no other course of action. I call my father long distance (and collect), get him out of bed to tell him his oldest daughter has a bursted radiator hose. Naturally, he is excited by this turn of events, and while I try to tell him "it is the short, fat hose that conies out of the rad" and "how should I know what it's called", he says, "well, forget it for tonight and your brother will go out to get you." Fine! Here I am, still 105 miles from Exeter, have to be at work at 9 o'clock in the morning, with a car that's not about to move anyplace, and Dad wants me to go home and sleep on it. Well, that's about all there is to this story. I did sleep on it, but not very long as Dad dragged me out of the sack about 6:45 a.m. The attractive exhibit of old glass continues at the Strathroy Middlesex Museum, but November 21 will be the last date it is open to the public, so be sure to come in by that date. The winter hours of the museum are Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, from 2 to 5 , though arrangements can be made for group visits at other times. A group welcomed Tuesday were the members of the Mid- dlesex County Council, who in- cluded a stop at the museum in their tour of country roads. The exhibit and display (sounds better than a quarter to 7). We finally found a garage open at 8:00 where we could get another hose; got the thing fixed; I drove back to Exeter and was only one and a quarter hours late for work (just in time for coffee break, I might add). And all this because of one little rubber hose in one little "red bomb". INSTALLS OFFICERS - While vice-president Mrs. Tom MacMillan looks on, Mrs. E.B. Menzies, chairman of district 2 of the Hospital Auxiliaries Association, hands the gavel of office to the president of the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary, Mrs. Walter Davis. T-A photo Prepare old fashioned display for Christmas planning committee met at the museum November 8 to make further plans for the old fashioned Christmas display. It was decided to hold a tea December 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. to encourage more people to come, to remember the spirit of Christmas past. A number of offers have been received of old toys and Christmas gifts to be displayed, but more would be welcome. Has anyone, for instance, a home- made child's wooden sled, or old, hand-made stuffed toys? If so, please call 245-0492 in the af- ternoons. It was also decided to have one case displaying Christmas cards at least 50 years old. Has anyone some he would be willing to lend? When making out your Christmas shopping list, don't forget the souvenir china available at the museum. A new supply was received this fall, so popular pieces, which were out of stock for a while are available again. r to * • 4 4 4 A;4 • "WEIGHT WATCHERS" AND 0 ARE REGISTERED TRADEMARKS OF WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, INC., GREAT NECK, N.Y. ®WEIGHT WATCHERS INTERNATIONAL, 1972 The world's most advanced weight control program. •Walmar, Ltd.
