I believe it's somewhere in Palm Springs. For all those born before 1945. We are survivors!!!.Consider the changes we have witnessed. We were bom before television, before penicillin, before polio shots, before frozen foods, Xerox, plastic, contact lenses, frisbees and the pill. We were bom before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams and ballpoint pens. Before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air conditioners, drip-dry clothes.and before man walked on the moon. We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you be? In our time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of." Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not Volkswagons. Designer Jeans were scheming girls named Jean and having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with our cousins. We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent and outer,- space was back of the Riviera * Theatre. We were before house husbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers mid commuter marriages. We were before daycare centres, group therapy and nursing homes. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electronic typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt and guys wearing earrings. For us, time-sharing meant togetherness.not computers and condominiums. A chip meant a piece of wood. Hardware meant Hardware and software wasn’t even a word. Back then, "Made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making _____________. \ out" referred to how you did in your exam. Pizzas, McDonalds and instant coffees were unheard of. We hit the scene where there were five and 10 cent stores, where you bought things for five and 10 cents. Sanders and Wilsons sold ice cream cones for a nickel or 10 cents. For one nickel you could ride a street car, make a phone call, buy a pepsi or enough stamps to mail one letter and two post cards. You could buy a new Chevy coupe for $60 but who could afford one? A pity too, because gas was 11 cents a gallon! In our day, grass was mowed, coke was a cold drink and pot was something you cooked in. Rock music was a Grandma's lullaby and aids were helpers in the principal's office. We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered, but we were surely before the sex change. We made do with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder we are so confused and there is such a generation gap today. But, we survived. What better reason to celebrate?POLE BENDING 406. Western-type equipment must be used. Use of a hacka- more or other type of bridles is the optional choice of the contestant; however, the judge may prohibit the “se of bits or equipment he may consider severe. Contestant has the option of using a tie-down. 407. Pole bending is a timed event. Each contestant will begin from a running start, and time shall begin and end as the horse’s nose crosses the line. (A clearly visible starting line shall be provided.) Electric timer or at least two watches shall be used, with the time indicated by the electric timer or the average time of the watches used by official timers to be the official time. 408. The pole bending pattern is to be run around six poles. Each pole is to be twenty-one feet apart, and the first pole is to be twenty-one feet from the starting line. Poles shall be set on top of the ground, six (6) fpet in height, with no base more than fourteen (14) inches in diameter. POLE BENDING PATTERN To make soft water: Boil hard water and let stand 24 hours. Then skim top. Dip, don't pour, the water from container. Add one tablespoon of vinegar to each gallon of boiled hard water. 409. A horse may start either to the right or to the left of the first pole and then run the remainder of the pattern accordingly (see pattern). 410. Knocking over a pole shall carry a five (5) second penalty. Failure to follow the course shall cause disqualification. A contestant may touch a pole with his or her hand in pole bending. 411. The judge, at his discre'ion, may disqualify a contestant fo ■ excessive use of a bat, crop, whip or rope in front of the cinch. . 412. In the event of a tie, the horse declared the winner in the runoff must re-run the pattern within two seconds of its original time or the runoff must be held again. Penalty time will not apply to the two-second rule, but will apply to the final runoff time. MY GET_UP AND GO_HAS_GOT_UP AND WENT;, How do I know my youth Is all spent? Well, my get up and go has got up and went. But In spite of It all I’m able to grin When I think of where my get up has been. Old age is golden so I've heard said, But sometimes I wonder when I get into bed, With my ear in a drawer and my teeth in a cup, hy eyes on the table until I wake up As sleep dims my eyes I say to myself. Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf? But I'm happy to say as I close the door, My friends are the same, perhaps even more. When I was young my slippers were red, I could kick my heels over my head. When I grew older my slippers were blue, But I still copld dance the,whole night through. Now I am old, my sljjppers are black, I walk to the store and puff my way back. The reason I knww my youth Is all spent, Is my get and go has got up and went. But I don't mind when I think with a grin, Of all the grand places my get up has been. And since I've retiree! from llfes competition hy schedules all scheduled (with complete repetition) I get up each morning and dust off my wits. Pick up the paper and read the obits, If I see my name missing, I know I'm not dead, So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed. Seen In the Kerby Hi-Hopener.Job skills needed in a changing workplace by Wendy Rasmussen The very nature of the basic skills required to perform available jobs is changing. Jobs requiring few basic skills are rapidly disappearing or being Many employees are finding that they do not have the skills necessary to perform their jobs or to accept new positions within their companies. upgraded through technological advances, while service and technology-related occupations are growing. As a result, high minimum levels of reading, writing and arithmetic are required in or- j der to perform those jobs. In addi- | tion, skills such as logic, analysis i and problem solving are required | in many jobs. This is particularly evident in the trades occupations where the worker must have a thorough background and training in the use of older methods and equipment, and must also be able to use the i new computer technology. He { must be flexible, analytical and ] capable of solving problems as j they arise. Almost all industries are introducing computer-based technologies which require a level of comprehension and ability over and above previous requirements. Workers are required to be able to read from operating manuals, input numbers and diagnose problems. Further, they must be able to communicate — either verbally or in writing — those problems with fellow workers and use analytical thinking to arrive at solutions. Researchers have found that the average worker must read and skim a wide variety of materials to solve problems and make decisions. Most jobs require about two hours of reading per day with blue collar workers reading about 97 minutes per day and retail sales workers reading about three hours daily. Many jobs require the employees to express themselves orally and in print through the writing of letters, explanations, or directions. These communications are more effective with the proper use of grammar, spelling and punctuation. In this changing workplace, many employees are finding that they do not have the skills necessary to perform their jobs or to accept new positions within their companies. More and more people are turning to their local community colleges in order to upgrade their academic and/or job skills. Often courses in a wide variety of subjects from math to computer applications are available on a part-time basis. Employers, too, are finding that it is to their benefit to co-operate with their community college in providing programs that will benefit their employees and in turn their companies. This co-operation can take the form of helping to set up a program that is unique to their industry or by encouraging their em- Almost all industries are introducing computer-based technologies which require a level of comprehension and ability over and above previous requirements. ployees to take courses that are currently being offered by the college.

My heart cries out for those I know, For it's with them all I did up grow And now I'm far away, Yet at this place I must stay. 'Tis true irony you might say, This growing up and growing away; 'Cause as a child as in a dream You hardly learn what this can mean. We know that people mature, choose a career, Ana fade towards the past, But this is happening to me; What a sad reality. All ray family, ray friends, my love; Are back there at home, With all the people I have known, And the green green grass of home. Why is life this lonesome way? Being apart from.'.everything you hold dear. Seeing your family twice a year; hurting you softly every day. 1 think of the times at home and of school.

Neil enters in the bareback competition. He went to Pincher Creek in July but failed to place. He also went to Canmore and placed sixth. He was bucked off in Emerson Bridge. At the end of August he went to Patricia where he placed third. In Inmsfail he failed to place. The summer rodeos are over but the fall and winter rodeos will start and Neil will be entering in them. Good luck Neil! ********************* An old Caroline stump rancher was selling a horse to a Red Deer storekeeper. “It don’t look too good,” said the rancher, “I only want $100 for it.” The store owner couldn’t see anything wrong with the horse and quickly took advantage of the deal. The next day, while out riding the horse ran right into the side of the barn and put the man head-first through the wall. Outraged, the storekeeper went back to the rancher and exclaimed “you old thief, you sold me a blind horse.” “I told you,” was the reply, “that horse don’t look too good.”Southern Creations Open house was held at Southern Creations owned and opperated by Darlene and Ralph Gross on Saturday, Sepetember 22.

This question, and a host of others concerning our Church's future, has be&n on the minds of congregational members for some time now. We feel it is time to issue this notice and challenge to the community of Milo. From our vantage point the situation is this: We have lost several key members through death, a few others have left the Church over National Church Policies, and-though it seems that many people in the community expect our Church to serve them in Funerals, weddings and pastoral care, few people are willing to commit themselves to our congregational life. As our Church Treasurer reported to an official of Presbytery our financial situation is "dismal". Also, at various times congregational people have voiced their discouragement over the meagre attendance at worship (the average being around 10-12 people). The United Church in Milo has had a rough and rather inconsistent history, but dispite such turmoil it has sought to be involved in the community to offer Spiritual direction. Youth Groups, Weddings, funerals and to encourage people in faith through worship .Baptism and Communion. We would like to continue to do God's work in this community. Our Church's proposal is not unlike many made by other community groups in light of Rur^l Initiatives work. First: we encourage you to ask yourself 'Do I want a United Church in Milo?’ It you answer 'Yes’ please respond by attending and by supporting us financially.Money is not enough; the Church is PEOPLE. Second: present congregational folk will be making a concerted effort this fall to make an impact on Milo, to encourage people to become more involved in Church and to distribute guestionaires which will hopefully help us offer programs that will interest you. PLEASE THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE UNITED CHURCH IN MILO. In Christ's SErvj'c J£jU/- (The Official Board has approved distribution of this letter). JOINT SUNDAY NEWS After a meeting between Lutheran and United Church people and Sunday School teachers a decision was made to have Sunday School time cooincide with Worship so that we can bette,r welcome children to worship and all learn what it means to be the WHOLE PEOPLE OF GOD (the name f our present Sunday School curriculum). Kids go down to class 15 minutes into worship. THE FIRST BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL EVENT: will be a worship service of welcome .celebration and covenanting including kids and adults from the Lutheran & United Churches. Service will be at the United Churchy THANKSGIVING SUNDAY (Oct. 7th) at 9 AM.UNITED CHURCH WOMEN On thursday, September 20, we invited the Peter Dawson Lodge and the Vulcan Extend a Care to come out to Milo for a roast beef dinner and all the trimmings. Eighteen residents and four helpers came from the Extend-a-care and seventeen residents and two helpers came from, the Peter Dawson Lodge. Dene Peterson and Sue Ivers accompanied by Gail Phillips sang a few old songs that brought back many memories to our guests. Also Reverend Ernie Roberts and his wife Joy entertained them with a couple of beautiful hymns. Everyone enjoyed the outing and returned to Vulcan by the Handi-bus and Kinsmen bus. We will be having our annual Turkey Supper on October 26 from 5:30-7:OOp.m, Everyone is welcome. On November 24 at 3:00pm. we will be having our annual Christmas Tea and Bazaar. Everyone is welcome. The Milo UCW collects Campbell’s soup labels and Swanson’s frozen foods products labels for the Blind Institute in Puerto Rico and used stamps for the Canadian Bible Institute. These things can be dropped off at the Church anytime. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 4 at 2O0p.m. in the Church basement.

When time permits the shoulders will be seeded to grass and then harrowed. Our local garbage dump as we know it now will soon be a thing of the past. Most County dumps are nearly full and unless there is room to dig another pit on the present site the dump has to be closed. Health and environment regulations do not allow the start of any new garbage dumps, open pit type like we now have. If it's cheap and simple it has to be condemned or so it seems. In this area a push pit system in an enclosed building would probably be built at Milo. More on this when information from the Waste Managment Committee makes it available to us.MILO SCHOOL Sept. 18 - School Pictures 9:00 a.m. - Parent/Teacher Tea (Meeting 2:30) - N.P.A.G.

The weather has been perfect and it is time again about participating in some fall and winter activities. I have been teaching karate at the Milo school for the past two years. During this time it has given me the chance to get to know some of the children in the area and hopefully give them an introduction to the martial arts. In our style there are different belt rankings starting from white progressing through the colors yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and on to black. I am pleased to announce that several of the students graded to earn their yellow belts last year. To achieve this they must take a test in which they demonstrate the various basic stances, blocks, kicks, and punches in our style of karate. They must also learn and perform a "kata". A kata is a series of prescribed techniques used as if they wewfighting several imaginary opponents. The "kata” is a very important part of the karate in fact one cannot progress from one belt color to another without learning and becoming proficient in them. There is a different kata for each belt color and two extra required for a black belt. Karate is one of the martial arts that has developed over the years. All martial arts have their roots in the Chinese study of tai-chi. From this developed various styles of martial arts which include kung-fu, ju-jitsu, judo, tai kwan do, and karate just to name a few. By definition "martial art" the training is not just how to fight but how to train the body to move in harmony and with proper attention correct technique. These are more important than who can beat up on who. Karate is a discipline! Both control of the body and the mind are stressed. Without the proper mental attitude all the training is lost in a pressure situation. In the beginning though we stress the basics since these are the tools of karate and much attention to detail is required. That is why some times the training can seem tedious to the students but all of this falls under the old cliche "practice makes perfect!" I will be offering Karate classes again this year starting September 27, 1990 at the Milo school. There will be two classes a week on Mondays and Thursdays. The classes will be from after school till 5:00. Instruction will begin at 3:50 so the students will have about 20 minutes or so of supervised time to "unwind" before class. I would encourage them to have an extra sandwich or snack to eat during this time, no pop please. Lots of water or juice is fine. This time allowance will make it possible for students from other schools in the area to attend if they so desire. Everybody who wishes to attend is welcome. The course will run right through till spring with the final date subject to spring work. There is no special equipment required and a white karate uniform called a "gi" is optional until a student is ready to grade into the color belt ranks. Any further information please call me at 599-2138. Thank you for your support and I hope anyone interested will not hesitate to call and register September 27, even if it is not possible to on the day you may still join simply by calling me and tell me as to when you would be able to start. what there was to think ns.
