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.

Australian slides shown at annual Institute meeting
The South Huron Women's
Institute will be sending' a
resolution from their annual
meeting to the London Area.
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
