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 Grand Beni, Golden Agera club meeting, held Wed- nesday afternoon at St, John's Parish ball, President, Alex Hamilton,, presided. The meeting opened with. Canada, followed by a sing song of favorites with. Vera Kuntz accompanying on the piano. It Was, decided during the business that the December meeting would be held in the form of a Christmas dinner at the Stardust i eotaurant in Crediton. Nola Love, President of Zone 8, reported a workshop would be held at the town hall in Clinton for executive members of the Zone on November 26.Members were reminded to bring in small gifts for bingo games for the residents of Huronview at Clinton.

A skit entitled "Taking the censits," was 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,.

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. Mary's innsiings BY MARY ALDERSON
