Times Advocate, 1995-11-08, Page 7Page 6 Times -Advocate, November 8, 1995 FA MTT Y 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. eaut MAGICIANS Xme Cutting cam (Beside Murphy's) 235 -HAIR (4247) Vicki Parsons Kim Scott Terri Farquhar-Vanneste Hours: Mon. -Fri. 9-7•Sat. 9-4 • Waxing and ear piercing SENIORS DISCOUNT on Mon., Tues., Wed.

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.

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.

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.
