Two weeks ago eight friends
and I visited a northern town. On
the way home, the weather was
cold and rainy. Because a long
drive still faced us, we decided to
stop for a snack.
At 11 p.m. many restaurants
were locked. After travelling a
few miles and observing nothing
but closed signs, we finally
discovered one dining-room that
remained open.
The only sign on its door stated
"Persons In Proper Dress
Allowed Only," Since none of us
were streaking. we thought we
looked presentable. Our clothes
Ov-ez Se2 etue
The Times-Advocate
would like to extend bir-
thday greetings and best
ishes to those members of
the Over 80 Club
celebrating birthdays this
eek or in the near future.

were not high-fashioned but they
were clean without holes or
patches.
The two other diners in the
room paid little attention when
we entered. We filed in and sat
down wondering what constituted
improper dress, Well, the
waitress soon informed us.
According to the management of
that particular establishment,
blue jeans were taboo, no matter
how new or clean they looked.
Because three or four of us
sported jeans, we were refused
service.
Arguing with the waitress
seemed pointless. After all, she
was merely following her em-
ployer's instructions. Perhaps
she disagreed with him.
Nevertheless she probably
suffered the brunt of tirades from
disgruntled customers.
Our only alternative was to
scamper through the rain again,
clamber back into our cars, and
search for another restaurant
which would accept us in spite of
our blue jeans.
Undaunted by our previous
setbacks we entered an eating-
place farther down the highway.
The exterior and interior of this
building appeared as impressive
as that of the one we had been
Things are booming around our
office and we are pleased to
announce that we have taken on a
new staff member at theT-A.
Terri Irvine will be reporting
for the T-A over the summer and
will be taking over as women's
editor in the fall. Terri is a
graduate of the University of
Western Ontario with a BA in
English and a Diploma in
Journalism.
She chose to work for a weekly
paper after graduation because
she said. "I like people and
weekly newspapers seem to be
more interested in the people
they are writing for than a large
daily paper is. I think that I am
asked to leave. The food tasted
delicious, and the prices were
reasonable. Moreover, the staff
and the other customers didn't
seem at all troubled by our ap-
pearance or our behaviour.
We were high-spirited but not
rowdy. In addition. our money
was as valid as that of anyone
else.
Our experience in the first
diner meant inconvenience and
frustration for us. For the
proprietor, though, it represented
the loss of nine customers not
only for one evening but probably
for any future visits we might
make to the area, We estimated
our orders would average 82.00.
Thus 518.00 was sacrificed for
four pair of Levis.
It was a minor incident, which
will soon be forgotten. However it
triggered some questions in my
mind.
Far be it from me to tell the
owners how to operate their
restaurant. But do they have the
right to tell me how to dress? Can
one person judge another by the
style of his or her clothes?
In our modern world, do we
hastily classify people by their
appearance instead of con-
sidering their unique per-
sonalities?
really going to enjoy my job here
because it offers quite a
challenge, there is always
something interesting going on."
Originally from Sarnia, Terri
lived in London for four years
while attending University. In the
near future she will be making
her home in Exeter and says, "I
TERRI IRVINE
have been a city girl all of my life
hut love the countryside. I am
looking forward to living in a
smaller community because the
people seem so friendly."
Terri has been heading towards
a career in journalism since her
highschool days when she was
editor of the yearbook for several
years. Last summer she worked
as a bus tour guide for the city of
London,

Port Franks home.
Mr. and Mrs. Peat were
married in Larkhall, Scotland on
March 14, 1924 but were visiting
in Great Britain at the time of
their anniversary.
Only a few hours after they
were married, the young couple
left for Canada. Mrs. Peat was
the former Elizabeth Thomson.
Mr, Peat spent most of his life
employed by Silverwood Dairies
in Hamilton and London, He
retired about four years ago.
He was a Lieutenant Colonel in
the Second World War and won
the Order of the British Empire
and was a member of the Black
Watch in World War One.
The couple have two daughters,
Mrs, Dan (Marguerite) McLeod,
Exeter, Mrs, Don (Betty) San-
derson, Erin and one son Bruce,
Exeter. They also have 11
grandchildren and three great
grandchildren,
Mr. Norman Beaman is a
patient in Victoria Hospital.
The new neighbour this week is
Mrs, Joan Worby who lives At 264
Sherwood Ave., N.
Joan And her husband. Dave
moved here May 1 from London
where they had lived for ten
years. Dave has been the
production manager at the T-A
for just over a year.
Both originally came from
Suffolk County in England where
they were married. Last summer
they went back 10 visit relatives
with their two children, three-
year-old Jason and one-year-old
Steven.
"It was the first time we'd been
back for seven years." Joan said.
"We noticed quite a change in the
way things were and the way we
remembered them,"
She finds Exeter quite a change
from the city,
"London is so big now you stay
in your own residential area and
there's not much to do in each
area. But here you can walk to
the park or anyplace."
Sewing for the children takes
up her spare time but she would
like to start bowling again when
they get bigger. She's also in-
terested in ceramics and pain-
ting.

The Exeter Lodge is invited to

Monkton Lodges will he guests.
The Worby's are still settling in
but after that's over she wants to
get involved in some of the
community activities.

things to get involved with here
than in London," she said,
"especially with the qhildreh.".
