others to wish them a happy

dropped in, but I didn't expect
anymore company. My plans to
spend the week end with my
parents were finalized.
My shopping was completed.

decorated a week earlier. No
frantic last-minute shopping was
necessary for me, but I sym-
pathized with the people trudging
along the sidewalks.Winter's,pre-
Christmas fury didn't bother me,
though, because I could stay
inside.
"Good! Old Man Winter's
getting this storm out of his
system before the holidays," I
thought to myself.
I had tidied the apartment and
done the laundry, Everything
was settled; I was organized, I
had nothing to do but sit back,
relax and wait for that joyous
Christmas Day to arrive.
But something was wrong! I
felt restless. I thought I must
have forgotten something, but
after checking my list, I found
nothing. I felt as though I should
be doing something, but I
couldn't think of anything that
needed doing. The Christmas
shows on TV soon lost their
glamour. I was bored!
My nerves became more jit-
tery, and for awhile, I was puz-
zled, Then the answer came to
me. It was unusual to not have a
sink full of dirty dishes staring
me in the face, Moreover, it just
wasn't natural for me to not be
running around in circles,
wondering whether I'd finish a
column or story before I had to
start the next one. I wasn't ac-
customed to being organized.
"What do people do who are
always organized?" I wondered.
"flow do they fill the void when
their necessary chores are ac-
complished?"
I came to the conclusion that
they must plan ahead for such
emergencies. They probably
budget their free time as
carefully as they organize their
work schedules.
What did I do? I started writing
this column on the pitfalls of
being organized.
At five o'clock on Christmas
Eve, I was still typing, I didn't
want to leave a half completed
column over the holidays.
Goodness knows when I'd get
back to it, and by then, I'd
probably forget what I wanted to
say. I discovered long ago it's
unwise to stifle ideas when they
start to flow.
Thus a race against time
began. I was uncertain how I
could finish the column, cook
supper, pack my bag for the
weekend, stuff the gifts into the
trunk of the car and .change my
clothes in time to attend the
candlelight Christmas Eve
service at the church.
I seemed to be running around
in circles again, but I made it.
And you know something? Ifelt a
lot better. I was back to normal!
Fifty five women attended the
first meeting of Women Together
in Caven Presbyterian church
basement, January 19. This is a
newly formed community-wide
organization to bring women
together to find and make
friends, to learn crafts and enjoy
special interests. It is open to all
women regardless of age,
The hall was appropriately
decorated for the season with
snowmen and snowflakes, and
coffee and cake was served
during the getting-to-know-you
session that opened the meeting.
Margitt Houston of London,
interior decorator, who was to
have been the guest speaker was
ill and unable to attend. In ,her
place, Mrs. Norma Jeffery of
Children's Aid Society spoke and
showed a film on a topic of great
concern to our society, The Abuse
of Children.
An inspirational talk on
gratitude was given by Mrs.
Hazel Pryde who used the
illustration of the story of the
Praying Hands created by
Albrect Durer.
Mrs. Sandra Strang,
committee member and hostess
for Women Together said she was
delighted with the turn out for the
first meeting. She stated, "We
knew we had to learn some things
by trial and error and we know
now we did make some mistakes
in our planning." She cited the
example that the committee was
not fully prepared for the over 40
children who turned up in the
nursery. "However," she con-
tinued, "we are thrilled so many
mothers brought their children
and we are sure by the next
meeting we will have most of the
kinks ironed out."
A questionnaire was filled out by
each person indicating what
interest group they would lik to
join. Already, plans are going
ahead to start weekly or semi-
monthly interest groups in
knitting, crocheting, Bible study,
Book and Plants Clubs, Weight
Control and others.
Letters are being sent out this
week to all who attended in-
forming them when and where
the groups will be held: Anyone
else interested in joining any of
these may phone Mrs. Barbara
Beckett, 235-0511 or Mrs. Sandra
Strang 235-1509.
Next meeting of Women
Together will be held February 23
when Miss Louise Landry will
speak on fashions, She will give a
forecast of Sprin fashions and
tell how these can be obtained
with the minimum of dollars.
Miss Landry is a lecturer on
fashion and textiles at Centralia
College of Technology. She is a
graduate of the University of
Manitoba where she majored in
clothing and textiles, Before
coming to Centralia College she
was a buyer of women's fashions
for Eatons.
