Page 4A Times-Advocate, May-22,1970. geee plet t0014e A farmer was transporting a ,,cow to a neighbouring farm. He was driving a pickup that had ,woOcien racks. Somehow, the cow 'broke the racks and scrambled ;',over the cab of the truck, The farmer slammed on the ',:brakes. For a rnoment,'rnan and =beast stared dazedly at each "other, he from behind the wheel ;`of his truck and she from the shoulder of the road. Suddenly the animal wheeled ,and ran down a lane. The farmer opened the truck. door and leaped to the ground. With a bewildered expression still on his face, he watched the cow race into an open field. A rope hung limply in his hands, and pieces of splin- tered racks lay at his feet. A lady stopped her car beside him, opened the window and inquired, "Did you know your cow got out?" Later she probably wondered why she asked, All of us are embarrassed by thoughtless words, that we wish we hadn't spoken. At one time or another, we all "bite our tongues." A fellow, who was well-known ifor his storytelling, began to i'relate a joke to a group of men. They didn't listen as attentively Las- usual; they fidgeted and oc- casionally glanced to his right. One of them even tried to in- terrupt him. Undaunted, he continued with his tale, adding a few expletives. to spice it up, The punch line didn't receive the chortles he expected.- Puzzled, he turned to the man, who was standing to his right. The story teller's face reddened as he mumbled, "Oh, hello Reverend." Did you ever greet an old friend, whom you hadn't seen for some time, with a salutation which you immediately regretted? Her appearance had changed, and you feared her health had failed, You exclaimed, "You look terrible! Are you sick?" Although your concern was ob- vious, your remark was neither complimentary nor tactful. A friend of mine once choked on a chicken bone. As she coughed and spluttered, I became alar- med. "Are you alright?" I queried. If she hadn't been so busy choking, I'm sure she would have hit me. Between gasps, she informed me she wasn't alright. We visit a hospital patient to cheer him up. Our conversation sometimes brings the opposite results, though. After we hear his symptoms, we conclude, "That sounds just like what. Uncle Fred had. He died last year, you know." We catch ourselves and try to remedy the slip by adding, "Of course, that doesn't mean you're going to . . . You may have something else." We might as well leave, because anything we say only makes matters worse. Most of us spread rumours, now and again. In our haste to tell a juicy tale, we occasionally forget who we're talking to. She could be a relative or a friend of the person we're talking about. One such coincidence cures us of gossiping. The words, that cause us to "bite our tongues" most vigorously, are the angry ones spoken in haste, They're the thoughtless words that hurt another person. Instead of em- barrassment, we feel remorse, "Biting our tongues" doesn't relieve our guilt; only the forgiveness of the other person can do that.

Convention in October. Provincial Board member Mrs, Gordon Papple said their non- vote would be taken as a "no" vote. Under present Indian law, as prescribed by the British North America Act, the wife can not be the executrix of her husband's estate, even if stipulated in a will. Under non-Indian law, a wife may be the executrix of her husband's estate, but not necessarily. The South Huron Women want the law changed, so that if a husband dies, the Indian wife will, be the executrix. However, there was some question concerning the resolution. It was wondered by several if the Indian women cared about it as much as white women, Kippen Institute did not vote on the matter, saying they did not know enough about it. The resolution was prepared by Mrs. Carl Payne, Hensall and Mrs. Olive Hicks, Exeter. Guest speaker at the meeting, held in the Dashwood Community Centre, was Mrs. Clarence Diamond, from New Hamburg. She was one of the area delegates who attended the Association of Country Women of the World conference in Australia in October 1974. She was the public relations officer for the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario for six years. "We can take so much credit," said Mrs. Diamond, "in that we have helped other people to help themselves, instead of giving to them." International aid is one of the main objectives of the ACWW. The Pennies of !Friendship, which is the institute's money raising scheme, was said by Mrs. Diamond to be "the life line" of the institute. Mrs. Diamond told the audience the Institute is made up of eight million members in 261 societies, in 68 countries of the world. At the conference, she said, there were 1,500 delegates from 51 countries. The theme of the conference was "A World to Share." Part of Mrs. Diamond's presentation were slides she had taken while in New Zealand and Australia. Some of the New Zealand highlights included the sheep flocks and sheep mustering, the thermal springs, and the carv4ngs on the buildings. In ,Australia, Mrs. Diamond's slides showed lawn bowling, red tiled roofs, the Australian War Memorial building, the Snowy Mountain Water Authority hydro project. She also showed pictures of 'her jaunt to Singapore, Malaysia and Bangkok. A total of $100.08 was raised for Pennies for Friendship. Also during the meeting, reports were heard from all •
