Two years of
broadcasting
for Exeter
video ministry -
As the year 1994 draws to an
end, the Eternal Life Video Minis-
try concluded their second year of
broadcasting the worship services
of the four churches, Christian Re-
formed Church, Pentecostal Taber-
nacle, Bible Fellowship and Emma-
nuel Baptist.
They are thankful for this oppor-
tunity to bring their worship servic-
es to their viewers.
As most of you will remember,
they had a shaky start with barely
enough equipment.
Today each church is better
equipped to bring an improved
presentation.
They appreciate your patience in
the past, and look forward to serv-
ing your spiritual needs in the years
to come.
The board of Eternal Life Video
Ministry wishes you all the Lord's
blessing this Christmas and in the
corning year.

r
While not selling out,
Exeter Bucks are doing well
"The other $12,000 (were returned] from banks
More merchants are
seeing them spent on
Christmas shopping
rather than necessities
EXETER - The town's Business Association is
reaping the rewards of printing its own money. The
BiA's Exeter Bucks weren't quite a sellout this year,
but are still proving a success at keeping shoppers
in local stores.
BIA manager Karen Spring reports that as of Sat-
urday, some S48,000 worth of the bucks had already
been spent in town. That out of a total of about
$63,000 purchased by local shoppers two weeks
ago.
The Bucks are as good as cash at all BIA member
stores, restaurants, car dealers, hairstylists, dentists -
nearly anywhere in town. Each buck, however, cost
the purchaser only 904, due to a 10 percent subsidy
paid by the BIA, not the store.
Last year's campaign put $50,000 worth of the
Bucks into the hands of shoppers, and immediately
sold out. Consequently, the BiA enlarged its budget
for the program to $7,500, enabling some $75,000
worth of the local currency to be sold to a maximum
of $300 per person. While more were sold, they
didn't• sell out in the three days allotted the cam-
paign at. all Exeter financial institutions.
that were not open Saturday, interestingly enough,"
said Brown. e'
In fact, one bank that sold out of the Bucks last
year had since installed a teller machine and ended
Saturday hours - and returned a large amount of the
Bucks.
"Next year we might want to look at selling them
four days instead of three," said Brown.
As for local retailers, Brown said the businesses
are very happy with the program, now that some of
the bugs have been worked out of it. The Bucks can
now be deposited by the businesses at any town fi-
nancial institution, instead of just one bank last
year.
The shoppers though, seem to be using the Bucks
for their first and foremost purpose, Christmas shop-
ping, said Browi. Stores report that the Bucks are
being spent on gift items "as opposed to last year
when they were using them for groceries," she said.
"The Exeter Bucks are being used more strongly
for Christmas shopping and then the leftover used
for groceries," said Brown, adding that seems to re-
flect predictions for a recovering economy.
While the BIA may be looking at ways to get
their own currency sold out next year, it is certain
the Exeter Bucks will be back. ,
"We are pleased with the program this year, as we
were last year," said Brown. "I can't see us doing
anything but doing it again,"
UCW hold
December
meeting
EXETER - The evening unit of
Exeter United Church U.C.W. met
December 5 in the ladies parlour
which was beautifully decorated for
the season. Unit leader, Norma
Cockwill welcomed everyone with
a short poem "The First Christ-
mas". Following the secretary's re-
port and the treasurer's report it
was announced that the annual ba-
zaar had been very successful.
There are only four bird houses re-
maining to sell. Donna Paynter
thanked all the committees for
working so hard throughout the
past year to raise funds for the
church and everyone signed a get
well card for Helen Wasnidgc.
Cockwill announced that the next
meeting will be January 9.
Betty Clark, Mary Fisher and
Marjorie Tuckey were in charge of
devotions. Several Christmas scrip-
tures and readings were given and
everyone joined in singing Christ-
mas carols. Dilly Van Bergen per-
formed an eloquent soliloquy de-
picting Mary receiving the Angel's
direction that she would conceive
the Messiah. Gerry Bornath fa-
voured with a Christmas solo,
"Unto Us a Boy is Born," and the
worship closed with Silent Night.
Following a contest to guess
Christmas songs everyone enjoyed
a time of fellowship over a cup of
tea and festive goodies.
