Only dawn offers a deeper stillness, Frankly I'm seldom awake to experience the latter. Evening shadows veil the landscape in shades of purple and gray. The air becomes cool and motionless. The humming of flies and insects stops, and the birds chirp occasionally as they settle down for the night. In a nearby marsh, frogs begin to croak. Relaxing on the front lawn, you can hear a dog barking in the distance and milk pails rattling in the barn. Often you can listen to a tractor droning in a remote field. You can also discern a car leaving a neighbour's lane, and you can follow its progress on the gravel road. As the moon rises in the darkening sky, the stars begin to twinkle. Solitary lights dot the landscape below. Softly night envelopes the hushed countryside. The 26th annual officers' conference of the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario met in session at the University of Waterloo recently. The conference is a training school for officers, this time for branch presidents, resolutions conveners and members at large. Village 2 of the University had 666 delegates registered, A 2% hour bus tour in the locality in- troduced the delegates to the Mennonite Way of Life. In the evening at the Humanities Theatre a short film was shown "Introduction to Mennonite Story." Rev. Vernon Leis and Pastor Doug Synder fielded many questions from the interested audience. Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) work in around the world. Mrs. Harvey Noblitt presided for the session in the Humanites Theatres and spoke on the theme: "There is a Tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood,„ leads on to fortune" She' mentioned upOrtunitieS• which present thernie1Ves for WI namely to stress for the dignity and importance of the role of the mother in the home, more part time work for women, students and the disabled; to use the know- how that WI members have of nutrition and crafts to help young women; to up-grade education through Rural Learning Associations, night schools, adult university courses. Greetings were extended by ,Talte a country girl from this atmosphere and place her in a typical city suburb. She notices quite a difference. At four o'clock, the streets start buzzing. Children wend their way home from school, Some workers return from their jobs, while others drive to factories, hospitals, and shops to begin the night shift. Motorbikes and convertibles zip through the winding streets a definite sign of spring, Daylight saving time means an extra hour of outdoor activities after dinner. Lawn mowers rumble, rakes swish, and clip- pers snap. Basketballs seem popular among the youngsters this year. Their plunk, plunk, plunk echoes on asphalt driveways and cement sidewalks, Baseballs thud into mitts as the boys play catch. Miraculously during my week in Dr. B. C. Matthews, president of University of Waterloo, Robert Eaton, MPP Middlesex South; also Miss Helen McKercher of the Home Economics branch Dept. of Agriculture and Food. Discussion Group leaders were introduced for the twenty groups. They were Mrs. Everett Small, Essex, chairman of Branch presidents; Mrs. Austin S. Zoeller, New Hamburg, resolutions; Mrs. Calvin Car- michael, Ilderton, Directors at large. An over 90 voice choir of the Waterloo Oxford Secondary Glee Club presented "The Pirates of Penzance." Dr. T. M. Hadwen, University of Guelph, addressed the closing session on "Stress in Rural Ontario." Stress is not any worse in rural than urban areas he said. There are many changes in agriculture and although we accept, Dr. Hadwen said, many people do not like it. Young people leave the farms and small villages become old people's villages. 'City people moving into 'rural areas are "urban romantics," he said. They want to live in city parks and resent the aroma from the hog barns and the area of the gravel pit. He told the WI they can help people find where they are and maintain some kind of com- munity life.Stress is something we pretend does not exist, but unless it is brought out in the open, it is apt to come out in more destructive ways, he said. the city, I heard not one window shatter. The little girls, meanwhile, push squeaky doll carriages in front of their homes. Older girls chant while their skipping ropes slap the pavement. A transistor radio blares rock music from a porch. At the same time, classical tunes from a stereo drift through the living room window of another house. Next door the voices of a well- known TV family can be detec- ted. A canine barking contest also rages, In the back yard to the left, a brown collie flaunts his supremacy. To the right, a golden Lab presents his deep-throated rebuttal, In the centre yard, refereeing the bout, a Pomeranian bobs and yips. One by one the dogs are eventually escorted into their respective houses. Soon mothers call the children reminding them it's time for bed. Gradually the streets become deserted. As darkness falls, the lamp in front of each home lights up. Driving into a city at night, I'm always fascinated by the multitude of lights, They seem to mirror the starry sky. A day in the city thus draws to a bustling close. At the same time, night settles tranquilly over a country scene. Both lifestyles offer pleasures, but the two settings contrast each other. Student back for summer The university year is over and once again the T-A is pleased to announce that Janet Ecker will be back working for the summer holidays. Janet has just completed her third year in journalism at the University of Western Ontario. She will be taking over as women's editor until she goes back to university in the fall. She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. D. Ecker of Exeter, "Weekly newspapers are a terrific place to get experience." she said. "I really noticed quite a difference when I went back to school last fall. Some of the things we were supposed to be learning then I'd already learned by working at the T-A during the summer." - - Janet said she had enjoyed her job here last sununer. "I was almost sorry to see school end because it was a good year. But if this summer turns out to be half as good as the last one, I won't be disappointed." Soup with a difference Add a new look and taste sensation to meals with a delicately flavored cream soup. Not a wintertime soup that must simmer away on the stove for hours, or one that's been cooped up in a can for months, but a light springtime soup with fresh flavor designed to pique appetites without dampening them. You can mix these soups on almost a spur of the moment fancy. There's no messing about making soup stock first. Your blender does much of the work pureeing vegetables for garden fresh flavor; milk lightens and smooths the soup while adding important nutrients too! The result — a refreshing prelude to any meal. A judicious blending of flavors marks a good homemade soup.

A screening and examination program for pre-school children will be held Friday at the J.A.D. MacCurcly Public School in Huron Park. Mrs, G. Thind, director of nursing for the Huron County Health Unit that is putting on the clinic, said they are trying to get the children that will be starting school in the fall. Many parents have already been contacted and their children have appointments. Anyone wishing to attend the clinic should phone the Exeter Health Unit at 235-1014. Mrs. Thind said they are trying to keep the children coming in at a steady rate all day so that each child will receive an adequate examination. Frequently, she said, parents will miss appointments and then come in later in the day. This means that line-ups develop and the children must be rushed through. It's easy to miss something then, she said. The program will involve testing mental and physical development, vision and hearing. The children will also be tested for anaemia, their teeth will be treated with fluoride and their immunization will be brought up to date. Mrs. Thind strongly urged mothers to bring their children to the clinic. If there are any Problems, they can often be helped over the :summer, she said,before the child starts school. This will be the only pre-school clinic this. year. The Health Unit also offers pre- natal classes for both mothers and fathers, The course lasts from six to eight weeks and.three complete courses are offered each year. One is already in progress Monday nights at South Huron District High School, The next course is scheduled to start in October. Classes cover the care and feeding of the baby as well as what the mother shoUld do during her pregnancy. Mrs. Thind said that studies have shown that parents who have had pre-natal education have fewer problems and anxieties during -pregnancies. For further information on these courses phone the Huron County Health Unit in Exeter.
