Annual bazaar
Exeter Villa's annual bazaar was a great success Saturday. Shown here with some baked
goods are from the left resident Mary Connolly and visitors Cathy Batten and Henry Dyck.
81st annual convention of W.I.
KIRKTON - "Let's Share The
Flame", the theme of the 81st An-
nual Convention of London Area
Women's Institute was aptly car-
ried out. It was held October 20, at
Kirkton Woodham
Centre, with 324
guests attending.
President Dolores Shapton's ad-
dress compared Women's Institute
to a quilt. A patchwork, each mate-
rial in it's place -talents and gifts
woven together, bringing
pleasure and warmth, with
it's design and workman-
ship. The flame for the Con-
vention was lit for all to share.
The Federated Women's Insti-
tute of Ontario president, Donna
Russett stressed the new focus of
F.W.I.O. will be Safe and Healthy
Communities, encompassing indi-
vidual and family needs. Branches
are encouraged to develop pro-
jects. We will continue promotion
of rural child safety. 1995 is the
50th Anniversary of the United
Nations. Goals of peace in the
world, being global citizens in our
own community, greater national
and global understanding, equality
for women by the year 2000, are
all part of our centre of interest.
In regard to violence on televi-
sion, F.W.I.O. made a presentation
at public hearings of the C.R.T.C.
The second half of a $50,000.
pledge to the Family and Consu-
mers addition at Guelph was pre-
sented. We now have a representa-
tive, Margaret Aiken on Ontario
Community
members and
Agri -Food. Posters depicting vari-
ous commodity groups are now in
all schools.
Two resolutions were sustained
at the convention. The first dealing
with young offenders, the second
re -offensive language on radio and
television.
Pat Ozsvari, who is on the
F.W.I.O. Restructuring Committee,
encouraged members to do some
serious thinking about
possible changes,
perhaps some con-
solidation and
streamlining
F.W.I.O.
The reports re Chil-
dren's Hospital, Western Fair,
Tweedsmuir Curator, Program Co-
ordinator, and Public Relations
were a sharing with everyone.
A report of a very successful
Workshop "At Your Request 11"
was given by its conveners, Mar-
lene Matheson and Rie Van Steig.
Topics presented at the Workshop
included Marketing and Communi-
cation, Justice Without Fear, Per-
sonal and Home Security, Flexibili-
ty and Wardrobe Counselling.
Presentations were given by the
Erland Lee Committee, Pauline
Lindsay, also the Rural Communi-
ty Advisor. A report from the As-
sociated Countrywomen of the
World conference in New Zealand,
was shared by Marg Harris and
helpers.
A dialogue by the Provincial
of
Board of Directors, Phyllis Laugh-
ton, Margaret Armstrong and Mary
Nicklas reminded members of cur-
rent and future happenings.
Great singsongs by Marion
McKay and Marian MacDougald,
activity by Marilyn Pym and Fern
Dougall, super skits by Cornell
W.I. and Salem, Nilestown W.I.
gave excellent breaks during the
day. An invitation for the 1996
Convention was extended by Elgin
County.
Greetings were brought by Blan-
chard Township Reeve John Scott
to the evening banquet. A wonder-
ful musical presentation by the
"Vocal Dimensions", from Mitch-
ell High School was much en-
joyed. The Maryn Pardy Scholar-
ship this year goes to Kris
McNaughton of Kippen. The 90th
Anniversary Scholarship was pre-
sented to Norma Bice of Ilderton
by F.W.I.O. president Donna Rus-
sett.
The guest speaker, Sharon Kelly
of Seaforth, praised the achieve-
ments of W.I. pointing out things
we sometimes fail to recognize --
that the joy of life is the journey,
and that we find time to dream.
She reminded us that change be-
gins with self, and that age is just a
number. We must remember to
think positive and think young.
Pleasure is like a match, happiness
like a candle, joy like an eternal
flame.

Blue Water residents refresh memories
ZURICH - Monday afternoon the residents of Blue
Water boarded the bus and headed toward Hensall.
Ruby Bell asked volunteer driver Glen Thiel to drive
past her homestead to refresh memories of yesterday.
Catherine Riehl, Annie Martin, Robert Stark, Marcella
Dietrich, Susan Leslie, Clarence Gascho, Kurt Gebel,
Pearl Miller and Theodore (Ted) Steinbach enjoyed
their trip to Kirkton and back via Exeter. Those not in-
volved in the bus trip settled for a "Ma and Pa Kettle"
video in the comfort of the auditorium.
Tuesday was Halloween day and many residents,
such as Ted Steinbach, were taken quite by surprise to
be assisted throughout the day in their activities by
witches, ghosts and goblins. In the evening, the
litt'luns from the village and area came to trick -or -treat
in various costumes but under the faces we found Enc,
Esther and Emma Armstrong, Laura Coleman, Brittany
and Bobby Lynn Grenier, Michael and Laura Geoffrey,
Jacob Rasenberg, Amanda Thiel, Cathy and Joshua
Groot, Cory, Shawn and Trevor Bender, Bradley
Oesch, Mindy and Ethan Deichert, Drew Geiger, Ke-
vin Ford, Justin, Natalie, Stacey and Nicholas LaPorte,
Brandyn and Matthew Webster, Marsha Metzger and
Jacqueline, Justin and Laura Gelinas. Beatrice Geiger
and Loreen Devine of BWRH Apt., Ruby Fulcher and
Catherine Riehl and Bill and Jean Burr, residents put
their candy with that of BWRH and gave the tricksters
more variety.
Tuesday afternoon Bible Study was held by Rev.
Gani Lazaro, Zurich United Church in the Chapel. Pas-
tor Julia Bender held Bible Study Tuesday morning in
the BWRH Apt. Lounge.
Wednesday afternoon the auditorium was full of resi-
dents to listen to Gladys and her Merry Makers. Gla -
Exeter Villa
celebrates
faith and
relationships
EXETER - In times past the ear-
ly Christians were encouraged not
to give up the habit of meeting to-
gether for worship and prayer (He-
brews 10:25) and so last week the
Pastoral Care Committee of Exeter
Villa worked together with the
Rev. Fay Patterson to make the
regular Wednesday church 'meet-
ing' a service of 'Celebration of
Faith and Relationships.'
As part of the service the com-
mittee's first endeavour, new
large -print hymn books, were dedi-
cated and blessed. Peggie Clark
and Donna St. John shared in the
ministry of music and Nancy
Tweddle and the Rev. Stewart
Miner read Scripture.
The members of the Pastoral
Care Committee are Linda Haw-
ley, Nancy Tweddle, Elly Van
Bergen and Joy Skillender. Their
vision is to enhance and assist in
the pastoral and spiritual care al-
ready provided at the Villa, and it
is their hope to form a pool of vol-
unteers who want to share their
time and talents.
"Let us be concerned for one an-
other, to help one another, to show
love and do good." Hebrews
10:24.
dys Van Egmond on piano and accordion, Mozart Ge-
linas, Sr. on banjo and guitar, Elgin Nott on violin
and Harry McDowell on violin kept the hands clap-
ping and the toes tapping to Harbor Nights, Alabama
Jubilee and Down Town Struthers Ball, just to name a
few.
Rev. Ed Laksmanis, Zion United Church, Crediton
conducted Thursday afternoon Chapel service. Fr. El-
wyn Morris, St. Peter's RC Church, St. Joseph cele-
brated Mass.
Thursday morning Dr. Ecker held his monthly Foot
clinic at the Home for residents. Local legion mem-
bers dropped by on Thursday and presented each resi-
dent with a poppy for Remembrance Day.
Congratulations to Margaret and Harold Jones who
celebrated 53 years of marriage on October 31. Our
best wishes to Philippa Steckle who celebrated 90
years young in the west wing lounge with members of
her family on Sunday November 5.
Welcome to Dorothy Eileen Hayter of Grand Bend
who is a new resident at the home. Welcome to Mat-
thew and Matilda, two cockatiels donated to the home
by Rev. Aubrey (Hilda) Bell, a retired Anglican min-
ister who scbn leaves for missionary work in South
America. The • residents are enjoying watching the
birds, and some female staff members feel quite elat-
ed by the whistle they receive when walking by their
cage.
The residents look forward to the Auxiliary and
Home's annual bazaar on Saturday, November 11, the
Buddies and Auxiliary on November 7 and afternoon
tea November 8. Select Shoes will be corning on No-
vember 14 from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FLOWERS?
The beauty and fragrance of flowers serve as a reminder that funeral
services are for the living.
DAN HOULE
Colorful, tasteful floral arrangements are generally sent by those who
cannot be present but wish to extend their condolences. The floral
pieces help the bereaved to accept that a life continues, though the
loved one is no longer present to share in it. As such, flowers serve
both to honor the deceased and to reaffirm the value of life itself.
The sentiment which the flowers represent can travel further than the
funeral. Floral arrangements may be taken to the gravesite or to the
church. Many hospitals and rest homes will accept gifts of flowers for
their residents and patients.
Or flowers given by friends in honor of the deceased may be given to
guests as a fragrant reminder of a life that has passed and of the val-
ue of their own lives.
Most florists have developed special floral arrangements for funerals.
We also can answer your questions about the value of flowers in fu-
neral services. Please call us if you would like more information.
