IO 1987 members meet
to mark 40th birthday
Since its organization in 1947 from
a group of friends who got together
once a week to sit and knit or just
chat, Beta Sigma Phi Sorority in Ex-
eter has grown to include four
chapters.
Forty years ago, in 1947, Irene
Beaupre Irving, whose father owned
the store at the north end of Exeter,
persuaded her friends to organize
themselves under Beta Sigma Phi to
form the Ontario Alpha Pi Chapter.
She had belonged to the sorority when
-she worked in Washington during the
Second World War.
Hight from the beginning the 26 ac-
tive members started to work for the
betterment of the community but the
main emphasis of the International
sorority is placed on cultural and
social activities.
In 1970 the membership became so
large that an Exemplar Chapter, Xi
Gamma Nu, was formed and in 1977
a Preceptor Chapter, Beta Theta, was
started. Again in 1985 a Laureate
Chapter was organized. Today the
membership of the four chapters
totals 59 active women.
To commemorate this 40th anniver-
sary and Beta Theta's 10th anniver-
sary a dinner and social evening was
held on Tuesday at the Oakwood Inn
in Grand Bend.
TO MARRY — Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Varley, Hensall are pleas-
ed to announce the forthcoming
marriage of their daughter
Darlene to Brad Lightfoot, son of
Mr. and Mrs. James Lightfoot of
Sarnia. The wedding will take
place June 20, 1987 at Carmel
Presbyterian Church, Hensall.
CHAPTER PRESIDENTS — Pat Fletcher, (Alpha Tau), Bonnie Ratz (Xi
Gamma Nu), Gail Ralph (Alpha Pi), and Verla Russell (Beta Theta),
the four presidents from the Exeter and District chapters of Beta
Sigma Phi Sorority, were all on hand at the 40th anniversary celebra-
tions Tuesday night at Oakwood Inn, Grand Bend.
TO MARRY — Bob and Marilyn
Doerr and Fred and Isabel
Bullock wish to announce the for-
thcoming marriage of their

June meeting ends season
Seniors finish moonwa/k
Twelve Exeter Senior moonwalkers
chalked up a total of over 200 hundred
miles to the moon the last week in
May. As the weather became hotter
and more humid each day, one moon -
walker questioned whether Pat had
indeed headed them in the right
direction.
President Pat Skinner opened the
June meeting and read a short story
on giving and forgiving..
An instrumental medley of some 23
songs, most of which were familiar,
was played by Margaret Coates as
she took us on a rnusical trip around
the world.
This followed an abundant pot luck
dinner and fellowship with Laverne
and Violet Stone as conveners.
Hur•onview confirmed their invita-
tions to dinner at 12:45 p.m. and enter-
tainment by Gordon Harrison to
follow onThursday June 11 in Huron -
view auditorium.
Exeter Public School pupils invite
the Exeter Seniors to their school gym
June 19 at 2 p.m. when the pupils will
entertain. We hope for a good turn
out.

Teenagers' eating habits are oftefh
viewed with horror by their parents.
Adolescent boys never seem to get
enough to eat. -They are looking in the
refrigerator for a snack before the
supper dishes are dried. They don't
care if the food is healthy or not as
long as it's filling. Just from sheer
volume, adolescent boys usually get
all the nutrients they require for
healthy growth.
Girls on the other hand jump from
diet to diet in an attempt to develop
the ideal figure. Fad diets often do
lack essential nutrients and can be
harmful to the growing body.
What can we do to get our teens to
eat right? The teenage years are
rebellious years. Teens do not want to
be told by their parents what they
should and shouldn't do. Adolescence
is a time to develop personal values.

take control of one's own life, take
risks. and begin to make decisions in-
dependently. Teenagers -often have
their own money from part-time jobs
and spend it on food at tines when
parents are not around to direct their
choices. Parents find they can no
longer make food decisions for their
teens. However, they can make it
easier for their kids to choose healthy
foods.
Although burgers, fries and a pop
seem to be the staples of a teen's diet,
don't emphasize the negative. In-
stead, compliment them when they
make wise food choices.
Whenever possible, try to eat one
meal daily as a family group This
habit usually means that your teen
will eat the food provided. so you can
make sure that it is a good nutritious
meal.
Stock the refrigerator and • cup-
boards with highly nutritious foods.
Now when your son comes home sear-
ching for a snack, he is more likely to
grab an apple, -muffin or chunk of
cheese.
If your daughter is running out the
door with no time for hreafast, hand
her a muffin and an apple so she
doesn't have to stop for a donut or bag
of chips on the way to school.
Teenage girls today have the add-
ed social pressure to be thin. 'Their
concern with weight is often for the
perfect figure rather than for health.
Occasionally. girls end up with an
eating disorder, and starve
themselves for the sake of thinness.
Studies show that these girls have
very low self-esteem and feel that the
only thing they can successfully con-
trol in their lives is their weight.
Positive reinforcement for healthy
behaviour and respect from parents
is needed by teens BEFORE they
take extreme risks with their nutri-
tional habits. You can help your
children throughout their lives to
develop positive self-esteem.
It is difficult to watch children
make poor decisions at any age. It is
dven more difficult when you know
your advice will be met with hostili-
ty. Try not to let food become a bat-
tle ground that hinders communica-
tions with your teens.
