Seniors - hear about Bermuda
It is amazing how the dis-
tance between Exeter and
the "Cut" stretches each
year about this time.
For those of you who don't
know, the "Cut" is where I
live. The "Cut" is actually
the Ausable River Cut — the
river that crosses highway
21 about 10 miles south of
Grand Bend, right in the
heart of beautiful Bosanquet
township.
Telling people where we
live has always been a
problem. For local folks, we
just say the "Cut" and they
know exactly where we're
located,
Officially, it's called
Walden Subdivision, but a lot
of people don't know it by
that name, and besides, that
doesn't say that we're right
on the river.
It's easy to tell strangers
we live in Grand Bend,
because everybody's at least
heard of Grand Bend, and
our address is R.R. 2, Grand
Bend. But to people who live
right in the village, we're
way out in the sticks.
So sometimes I call it Port
Franks, because we're just a
mile up river from that
hamlet, and our telephone is
on the Port Franks ex-
change. But again, that
causes confusion because
we're not right in Port
Franks.
I've been known to tell
people we live in the Pinery,
but then they think we spend
all our time camping in the
park. I've also said that we
live in the Klon-Dyke, but
then they think we're out in
potato growing country.
So that brings us back to
the best definition of where
we live — the "Cut". And as
I was saying, the distance
between the "Cut" and Ex-
eter stretches each year at
about this time.
You see, all summer when
I tell people I live at the
"Cut" and drive to Exeter to
work, and they say, "Oh
that's handy."
But. as winter approaches,
and I tell people where I live
and where I work, they say
"All that way?"
All of a sudden, it's a long
drive on very treacherous
roads.
Actually I enjoy my 35
minute drive. I get a lot of
work done talking to myself
in my car. In fact, this Very
column was composed en
route. I just have to race to
my typewriter so that I can
capture all those so-called
Thirty-five attended the

given by Mildred Kellerman
and Letta Taylor, of Dash-
wood. Rev. George Anderson
showed slide pictures of a
holiday trip to Bermuda that
he and his late wife Kathleen
had taken to Bermuda in
1977. He told us the climate is
sub tropical and the pictures
featured scenery, beautiful
homes, beaches and fishing
and some lovely churches,
After a few games of
euchre and crokinole, lunch
refreshements were en-
joyed, closing a pleasant
afternoon,
Couples club meets
Grand Bend Couples club
met Saturday evening in the
$,S. rooms of the United
church with 13 present.
Jean Weigand opened with
a background of life history
of Dr. John McCral, and his
experience Which prompted
him to write the all time
favorite poem, "In Flander's
Fields".
The group had a discussion
on more recent facts of
nutrition.
Guest speaker was Mary
Morrice from "For Good-
ness Sakes". She answered
questions froln the group and
brought with her a sample of
"healthy" cheese cake with
soya bean filling. During the
business session they
decided to serve lunch at the
Sunday schopl concert.
Couples in charge were Jean
and Don Weigand, Paula and
Larry Taylor,.
Church of Good news
Ten attended the regular
monthly meeting of Church
of God ladies. Roll call was

Rev. John Campbell
conducted the election of
officers for 1981 as follows,
president-Betty Campbell,
vice president-Katie Vin-
cent, secretary-Deanna
MacGregor, treasurer-
Lucille Vincent.
President-Katie Vincent
presided for the business. A
worship and missionary
service was combined and
conducted by Betty Camp-
bell on the theme, "Will the
brilliant thoughts on paper.
There's one problem.
I get some funny looks
when I'm sitting in my car at
the stop light in Grand Bend,
and people see my lips mov-
ing.
On the way home I enjoy
the drive because it gives
me time to get my head
together and plan supper.
(Usually I'm trying to figure
out what will thaw the
quickest.)
I vary my route to make
my drive interesting. Usual-
ly I travel by way of Grand
Bend and Dashwood. I figure
that with my position has
head Grand Bend reporter, I
should make sure the village
is still there every day. I like
to take a drive down Main
Streetc and make sure there
haven't been any earth-
quakes or volcanic erup-
tions.
But sometimes I come
through the metropoli of
Greenway, Shipka and
Crediton, just for some ex-
citement in my otherwise
dull day. When I need a real
change, I hit downtown
Mount Carmel.
Anyway, with so many
people warning me about my
long winter drive, I do worry
about it. However, the
farmers' almanac predicts
another mild winter like last
year, which presented no
problems at all.
But just in case, I'm glad
I've made so many new
friends along the way
between the "Cut" and Ex-
eter. I may have to knock on
your door during a blizzard.
