Hello:
I'm writing this letter in
hopes that you'll publish it in
your newspaper as a 'special
thanks' to Jim and Heather
Rogers.
We spent an unplanned but
most enjoyable Christmas in
Exeter this year....
We left our home in Toron-
to at noon on Saturday
1Christmas' Eve), drove to
London to drop off a gift and
headed towards Bayfield to
pend Christmas with my
family. At first the snowfall
was quite beautiful making
verything look like a
hristmas Eve should look,
ut as the day went on the
eather worsened.
We managed the trip to
London without too much dit-
iculty and only realized we
ere in for some really rough
eather when we got onto
ighway 4 heading toward
ucan. We managed to get in -
o Exeter on a lick and a
rayer because the visability
w'as nil.
We even attempted to make
to Hensall but lost sight of
verything on the outskirts of
xeter and decided to turn
round and head back into
wn. It's most frightening to
on a road when you, can't
en see the front of the car!
We inched our way back un -
we saw the lights of the
PP station. Once inside, I
)led Bayfield to tell my
mily that we were safe and
arm at the police station. I
ew we were there for the
ght...Christmas Eve.
No sooner had I hung up the
one when Constable Jim
ogers asked us if we'd like
come to his house - he was
t finishing his shift and was
ading there himself. We
ere elated and followed him
t the door.
It's most unusual to spend
ristmas Eve without your
mily but we really had a
nderful time with Jim and
ather and her parents.
We drank rum and egg nog.
ked a blue streak, ate a
licious supper, played
ooker in the rec room,
rmed up by the fire and
tched a movie on televi
n. But best of all, we spent
ruly enjoyable Christmas
e with some new-found
nds.
hen we awoke Christmas
rning, Jim was at work but
me home shortly after to
'e some breakfast and
n presents. The Rogers
n gave us Christmas
sents!
1ti'e decided to head for

of a dear wife Marjorie Jean,
mother and grandmother, who
passed away nine years ago,
January 4, 1975.
She was someone we could talk to
That no one can replace,
She was someone we could laugh
with
Till tears ran down our face.
She was someone we could turn to
When we needed a helping hand,
She was someone we thought
more of
As each year came to an end.
And when we are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong.
We seem to hear her whisper
"Cheer up and carry on."

Kipfer about his beard.
It is my opinion that no lady
should cast aspersions on any
of the "stalwart forty" about
their beards without risking
some sort of penalty. Perhaps
a whisker rub would be too
cruel a punishment.
1 have an alternate solution.
Since the ladies in Hensall

maybe a pie or cake of the
bearded one's choice would
be appropriate recompense, I
am kind of hoping that my
neighbour criticizes my cur-
rent scruffy appearance as
she makes an excellent Black
Forest cake. I am also ad-
dicted to lemon meringue or
apple pie.
1 think the Hensall
Postmaster should be the first
of the "stalwart forty" to
receive a pie or cake of his
choice as he is constantly in
the public's eye. This would
serve as a warning to any
lady who might otherwise be
bold enough to criticize a
man's attempt to grow a

Toc Alpha delegates
report on conference
By MRS. E. SUMMERS
Delegates to the Toc Alpha
Christmas conference from
the Granton "Who" (We Help
Others) youth group were -
Howard Pierce and Jim Scott,
who brought back this report.
This year's program was
based on Drug. and Alcohol
concerns and this conference
hosted more than 600
teenagers from 14-21 years at
the downtown Holiday Inn in
Toronto. It was a three-day.
conference December 27-30.
Each day we had to choose
three session subjects out of
18-21. Topics were "Family
problems, Alcohol and Drug
Additions, Nuclear Disarma—
ment and Peer Pressure" to
name a few.
Each session took 11-2 hours
with 40 to 100 teenagers in at-
tendance some of whom talk-
ed openly about problems of
their own and problems in
their area.
At night after the evening
session, there was a movie to
watch or a dance to attend.
It was a great opportunity -
to meet new friends and learn
how to handle everyday pro-
blems in a teenager's life.

back to their homes in
villages for all celebration
such as Christmas.
Their cities are growing too
fast to be well planned and
kept up. Many of the young
are going to live in the towns
and crime rates have
skyrocketed.
Religion is a big part of
their life, with all the people
believing in a God. 47 percent
are Moslem, 43 Christians,
and 10 percent pagan. As
Nigeria is being influenced by
western society, some of their
customs are worth preserving
such as their hospitality and
their extended family system.

reading entitled "Ilave A

I hate winter. J hate cold
weather. I hate snow.
There, just pounding out
those sentences on the
typewriter made me feel
better.
Remember those hot, hot
days last summer, when the
air conditioners ran constant-
ly? Wasn't that beautiful?
Remember coming home
from work, putting on your
bathing suit, and going for a
swim, then sitting outside on
the deck with a cool -drink
while 'you read the
newspaper? Remember those
deliciously hot Sunday after-
noons - going out into the lake
in the boat (well past that
polluted shoreline), and let-
ting the boat drift all after-
noon, while you took turns
swimming and lying in the
sun?
Ahhh! Now I feel much bet-
ter, just thinking about that
hot weather. Of course, that
will only last until the next
time I have to put on my coat
and boots and go outside.
Last summer, many people
were complaining about the
continuous hot weather. Not
I! I love the hot weather. So

musings

even taken a crack at
downhill skiing. And while I
thoroughly enjoyed the
skating and skiing, those few
moments were certainly not
enough to compensate for the
endless months of cold and
snow. Give me water skis any
day.
Winter wastes so much of
your time. For example, ex-
amine the work involved in
getting ready to go °tit of the
house in'the morning. In sum-
mer, one can have a shower.
. throw on a cotton dress and
sandals, and walk out the
door. In winter, you have your
shower, but your hair has to
be blown dried. Then you
layer on all the extra clothes
- panty hose, camisole,
sweaters and so on. Not to
mention the heavy, bulky
coat, wool scarf, hat, leg
warmers, boots and gloves.
From the first thing in the
morning, winter makes )ife a
big ordeal.
Then once you get outside
the ordeal continues. Ice has
to he scraped from the car
windows, snow swept off, and
the laneway shovelled. Sure,
you can argue that there's
always extra work in sum-
mer, too - but I don't have to
.weed the flower bed, trim the
hedges and mow the lawn just
to go to work in the morning.
Besty, my Mustang, agrees
with me She hates winter,
too. She keeps telling me so.
Last winter, she refused to go
until she had new tires. This
winter she demanded a new
battery. And still she moans
and groans.
The other morning she was
so chilled she didn't even
warm up at all during the en-
tire 37 kilometer drive. For
that littleepisode, she earned
herself a piece of cardboard
over her radiator to help keep
warm.
There is one small consola-
tion in all this. i know that I
am not alone in my hatred of
winter. Even if you try to tell
me you don't mind winter, I
know your calikhates winter.
You see, I saw the line-up of
people trying to buy new
