Everywhere I go, women, and men too, are bragging they've just discovered They're Spring,. Summer, Fall or Winter. Those are the four color categories devised by Carole. Jackson, the smart lady who started•the furor over colors in the first place. She's writ- ten a book called Color Me Beautiful, and lined her pockets with the concept of color consultation salons which have sprung up like mushrooms all over North America. One man in our area was so upset after his colorconsulta- tion, that he threw out all his old clothes. Fortunately for our son, who is on a tight budget, he thre -them our way, so Ju r now has enougb good tiles to last him two years. As they say, "It's an ill wind " While I think it's all kind of fun, it alsoleaves me slightly uncomfortable because I fear Ow whole color concept is designed to exploit a society that is crazed with the idea that we must all be beautiful if we are to succeed. We are sold such a bill of good of dissatisfaction about ourselves that we turn to 'ex- perts' to even find out what colors to wear. Now, I know I'll get in wrong with all those who aaaure me bow much easier it is to shop and how much money they save by not pur- chasMn$ the wrong color. can't do that.

A motion by Edna Caldwell and Charles Bendy to invite new year Motorists say thanks Dear Sir: This is an open letter to the residents of Exeter and area. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1983 will always be remembered as something special by this Smith family in London. . We were five of about 40 people who found themselves stranded in Exeter rom 3 p.m. Christmas EN/until noon Christmas Day. "Stranded" doesn't seem like the proper word, though. We were ..."stranded", but I doubt that stranded families are supposed to receive the sort of kind, courteous, thoughtful attention that Dan, Matthew, Ellen and Kathy and I were blessed 'with. We have so many people to say 'Thanks' to: Reg McDonald, and Dean, Jim, 'Hart' and all those peo- ple whose names I didn't get to hear at the Exeter branch of The Royal Canadian Legion. You helped to turn what was shaping up like the worst Christmas ever into a rather joyful experience with a lot of new friends. We thank you for keeping us warm. sheltered and well fed (not to mention entertained!) for this period. By the way, Dan's 3, and now he's the best shuf- fleboard player in the family! Fran and Bruce Shaw, and their sons Dave and Bruce Jr.: Thanks to all of you for sharing your great family feeling with ours. The Christmas meal was beautiful and all the other 'goodies' made us feel pretty lucky. Work on your Sports Trivial Pursuit, and we'll give you a rematch...when the temperature's 25 or so! c Ex- eter'sMayor and his family are exceptional people!) The owner of the Burkley Restaurant: I wish I had ask- ed for your name...you and your staff provided great hot chocolate and coffee and meals, but it was your warm, friendly courtesy that I'll always recall. Finally...the Exeter Detachment of the All shifts! I'm sure it was a tough time for all of you. Weather, constant phone calls about the same thing, dangerous driv- ing conditions, and on, and on...Each time I talked with one of your staff. or visitied the office I received nothing but friendly advice, kind, im- mediate attention, and the ex- act information 1 needed. Dealing with people who all have their own special needs, especially at Christmastime, cannot be very easy when the weather is perfect. With the conditions that prevailed this Christthas, well.. .You are all to be commended!' Surely Rudyard Kipling had many of you in mind and heart wheh he wrote "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . and blam- ing it on you.. " We have been think- ing...everryone should ex- perience a Christmas like this one just past. It really renews' one's faith in his fellow man and woman. Exeter: Be assured that you are regarded as very special. You, collectively, put the needs of others before your own...and that's a Christmas gift we 'others' shall remember...every Christmas! Thank you again! Barry Smith. Progrgm Director. FM 96 Radio, London. she phoned, "Guess what, I've just had my colors done!" Next time I saw her, she still looked like a dowdy teddy bear....but in the right colors, of course. My point is, it takes more than becoming colors to make a woman (or man) appear chic. We all know those lucky ones who can belt on a gunny sack and look marvellous. Another friend of mine was once invited to a gala affair but couldn't afford a new gown. We scrounged around until we found a few yards of left over drapery? Sewing up some seams, we pulled it in with a wide sash, and she sallied forth looking like the the Dashwood club to the February anniversary meeting was carried. This meeting will be in the form of a pot luck dinner at 12:30. Members were asked to bring extra lunch for the guests. February 6. The constitution and by- laws for our club were read and accepted. Two birthdays were recorded and greetings extended. A letter was read by the secretary from Arden McGill requesting volunteer help for the group home on Huron Street. Anyone in- terested please contact 235-2963. The -remainder of the after- noon was spent playing bingo. Some members went to Crediton to call on Bernice and Hubert Cooper who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. A Queen of Sheba. The same outfit on me would have look- ed like just what it was...somebody's left over curtains. On her it was ter- rific because she had the face and figure and that certain flair some people have, for wearing clothes. Of course, I'm really just - too stubborn or perverse to have my colors done. It would be an admission I didn't have the sense to know what looks good on me. Mind you, l have to admit, I view interior decorators in the same light. I think they're terrific for other people, but if I let onV decorate my house, I'd feel I'd been cheated out of the en- joyment of doing it myself. There is another reason, too. Almost every night, when I watch the news on TV, some refugee child stares out at me, hungry and tattered. I know she wouldn't care what color it was, providing she just had something warm to wear. So, for me, at least, spending money to discover what color looks good on me while some child freezes for lack of clothing, just doesn't sit right. That's how it seems to me, anyway. aftaSave On Sunworthy- gir Now Up To 50 % Off! SUIrYIIORiNY �IsarnswTT MR. AND MRS.
