Odds n' Ends
,
I'm not sending any Christmas
cards this year, With the rise in
postal rates, it's too expensive.
I'll call or drop in on the local
people to wish them a "Merry
Christmas" in person. That's
better than mailing a card
anyway. The people, who live
farther away, will just have to
understand why they don't hear

from me. I'm sure everyone will
understand.
My problems are solved.
Except .. . when will I find
time to call or visit everyone?
What if I overlook someone? I
could put an announcement in the
paper, but that doesn't solve the
dilemma of the out-of-town
friends and relatives. I wouldn't
want them to think that distance
shoved them from my thoughts.
Perhaps I should leave a few
names on my list:
My girl friend, her husband and
their little girl, who moved to
Niagara Falls in the spring —
wouldn't want them to think I
forgot them as soon as they
moved.
Another girl friend near
Windsor — I owe her a letter, but
a card and a note would suffice.
Besides, that would be quicker.
The girl, who sat in the desk
across the aisle from me in the
eighth grade and has kept in
touch at Christmastime ever
since,
My penpal in Belgium.
My cousin, who's spending
Christmas overseas — he'd
probably like to hear some news
from home.
Another cousin and his wife in
Ottawa — Christmas is the only
time we correspond. I'd hate to
lose contact completely.
The friends visited for a few
days this summer — I felt as
though I didn't thank them
properly for their hospitality. A
card would be a small token of
my appreciation.
The people out West, who
showed my girl friends and I a
good time last summer. This
would be an ideal chance to
remember them,
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
The aunts and uncles and
friends of the family, who for
years remembered me at
Christmastime and birthdays
with cards, It wasn't necessary,
but they did it anyway. I wouldn't
want them to think I didn't ap-
preciate their kind gestures.
What about the new friends I
made this year? I wouldn't want
them to think I value their
friendship less than that of my
old friends.
And my sister's kids like to
receive cards in the mail,
especially the four-year-old, How
do I explain economics to them?
My Christmas card list is now
longer than it was last year.
To stop sending cards or to
drop some names from the list
was a harder chore than I
bargained for. The main stum-
blingblock is a purely sen-
timental one. I don't want to lose
touch with any of those people,
Why should they write me a note
or a card, if I don't send one to
them?
Oh well, I might as well mail
the cards this December before
the rates go up again in March.
But next year I am definitely
sending no Christmas cards!
Exeter and District Christian
Women's Club held their annual
Christmas luncheon meeting,
Friday, at Trivitt Memorial
Parish Hall, when Mrs. Major
Peat, Salvation Army officer,
was the guest speaker.
Her topic was "Are You Ready
for Christmas?" which reminded
her listeners that one can easily
get caught up in the trappings
and glass of Christmas so that the
real meaning can be forgotten.
She spoke on four elements of
Christmas: Mystery, Melody,
Majesty and Me (personal
element).
"How can it be," she asked,
"that God was incarnate in a
little baby?" That is a mystery
and only God could have thought
of Christmas. She said man has
one answer to his problems:
Force, but God sent the only
answer in the form of a baby. She
said God shared our humanity
that we might share His divinity.
"Such wonder and beauty bends

The W.M.C. meeting of the
Exeter Pentecostal Church was
held the afternoon of November
25 a t Mrs. Meine Eizenga's home.
Mrs. Bruce Cann led in some
Hymns and choruses.
Mrs. Don Forrest opened the
service in prayer. The minutes of
the last meeting were read by
Mrs. Milford Prouty. Mrs. Cliff
Blanchard then gave a
treasurer's report.
The roll call was taken by Mrs.
Cliff Blanchard and answered by
a scriptural verse on "Sacrifice."
There were 22 present at the
meeting.
Christmas gifts for different
people were discussed and
decided upon. It was decided to
have competition on saving
pennies for Penny Day at
Braeside Camp.
Mrs. Bruce Cann gave a
message on "Remembrance."
After a season of prayer, Mrs.
Blanche McDonald gave a
Missionary reading on 44 years in
Africa. Lunch was served by the
hostess.

MR. AND MRS. LARRY McBRIDE
Edith Ann Martin and Larry Keith McBride were married in the
Zurich Mennonite Church, November 6, 1976. The bride is the
daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Martin, R.R. 3, Bayfield and
the groom is a son of Mrs. Elaine McBride and the late Keith
McBride. Rev. C. Kuepfer officiated. The matron of honour was
Ruth Martin and Irla Martin and Rhoda Steckle were brides-

Terry McBride was best man and Leroy Martin and Raymond

Peat pointed out that the first January.

With regard to Melody, Mrs. Next meeting will be in
the shepherds caught the
message of the choir of angels
heralding the birth of Christ. The
shepherds' lives were trans -
formed by that song, she said,
and it is the same melody that is
heard in all new Christian hearts,
"Be Born in Us To-day".
In contrast to the shepherds
and the lowly stable where Jesus
was born, she continued, we
remember the three kings who
came to bow before the King of
Kings. "Wemust never lose
sight of the majesty of Christ-
mas."
She ended with a Peter Mar-
shal prayer that Christians would
not spend Christmas, would not
observe Christmas but would
keep Christmas.
Before the luncheon, Mrs. Bev.
Robinson spoke about the Jute
Works of Bangladesh which
employs a great many women
making hangings, purses and
other items. These are import'
and sold in Canada to help thds
women support their families.
She had a large range of the
wares on display and many
women took the opportunity to do
some of their Christmas shop-
ping. Ten per cent of the sales
was donated to Compassion.
Two beautiful solos, 0, Holy
Night and Through It All were
sung by Mrs. Betty Smith. She
also accompanied the carol

The Children's Aid Society.
Christmas Bureau is ready to
swing into action next week,
under the direction of en-
thusiastic volunteers from the
community.
Last year 122 families were
helped by the Bureau. This year's
plans are much the same, with an
added emphasis on the need for
gifts and clothing for teenagers.
Christmas Co-ordinators will
operate depots in Goderich,
Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and
Exeter. Donated gifts and
clothing will be received and
sorted at thesecentres next week,
and distributed to families the
following week.
Mothers will be given ap-
pointment times to come to the
depots to make their choices.
They will also receive cheques to
assist with Christmas dinner, and
to buy gifts they might not be able
to find at the ,pentres.
Families needing Christmas
assistance can be referred by
Public Health Nurses, Family
Benefits, Social Services or
4 Children's Aid Society Staff.
Individuals, groups or families
themselves are welcome to
telephone the Societyif there will ▪ be little under the tree this year,

('Christmas was run entirely from
