CROCHETING A RUG — Helen McKaig, left, and
Mabel Handy practise one of the crafts that is being
taught Tuesday afternoons in the library basement.
About 25 women have learned macrame, huck
weaving, knitting and other crafts from instructor
Margaret Garrett of Bayfield, Mrs. Handy's mother.
(Staff Ft...)to)
The guest speaker at Egmond-
ville U.C.W. held on Tuesday
March 2, was Miss Mary McLel-
lan Counsellor for the Auxilary
Residence for handicapped adults
at 28 James St. Exeter. This
residence accommodates 4 people
Two women and two men.
Three residents can write qhite
well and had written articles on
what 28 James St. meant to ,them.
Mary passed these' around for the
ladies to read.
It meant they were improving
themselves by learning to work
and live with other people under
supervision and were learning to
do things for themselv'es thus
aquiring responsibility and better
behaviour and attitudes,
It meant they could walk to
church, u town to shop, to get
the mail, to the howling alley,
library, pottery classes etc.
One boy mentioned he had a
friend who took him to Hensall to
play broom ball. This has been
made possible by the concern and
interest of a caring community
offering them "today" new ways
and means of handling old
problems and new situations
instead of a isolated segregated
institution where all their needs
were met within the same facility
of "yesterday".
In closing Mary presented a
quotation of Roosevelt who said,
"We all tend to rise or fall
together. If any set of us goes
down the whole nation sags a,
little. If any of us raise ourselves a
little. then by just so much the
nation as a whole is raised''.
Mrs. Grace Miller was pro-
gramme convenor. Mrs. Jean
Durst delighted her audience with
a solo, "Happiness Is the Lord"
accompanied by Mrs. Marion
Rose. Mrs. Haiel Harrison read
the scripture Mrs. Joyce Wallace
lead in prayer.
Mrs Gray based her Meditation
on the Poem "The Weaver". Mv
My Mc is but a weaving
Between 'my Lord and me
I cannot choose the colours He
eav eth steadily.
Oftimes He weaveth sorrow
And 1 in follish pride.
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.
Not 'til the loom is silent,
And the shuttle ceases to fly.
Shall God unroll the canvas
And, reveal the reasons why.
The dark threads arc as needful
In the skillful weaver's hand.
As the thread of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
Mrs. ,Agnes Eyre chaired the
business part of the meeting. An

A winter, such as this one, should teach
us to appreciate the fellows who brave the
blustery elements to plow our roads and to
maintain the warmth in our homes. The
snow plowcrs and the hydro crews work in
weather that forces the rest of us to
hibernate. Ney..ertheless we criticise them.
The men driving the snowplows. for
instance, flatten our mailboxes, bend our
gateposts and pile snow at the ends of our
driveways. When we're' stumped by a
blocked road or stranded in a snowbank, •
-Y% e wonder where the plowman is. We
concede he can't be two places at once, hut
we're still irritated,
01 course, if we manned the machines,
we think we'd do a beter job. Asi'we
snuggle under our electric blankets at four
a.m. and listen to the plows p LISS by, we're
content to leave the job to someone else.
howe% Cr.
It' those electric blankets grow cold and
is e realiic our hydro is off, we rush to the
r h e wait impatiently for
the repair crew, regardless of the weather
conditions,
My appreciation of the hydro workers
w as confirmed last January. On a Sunday
afternoon, a team was dispatched to our
farm to replace a transfol;mer. A brisk wind
was whipping the snow, and the concession
roads were filling in quickly. Visibiloity, at
times, was nil, The dri%c from the hydro
offict: • o our farni, a distance of about
(1s ,.1‘ c miles, took almost two tit's.
In the meantime,. darkness ha( 111en,
and si c had gis en up all hope of seeing the
men that night. Suddenly we noticed the
spotlight On their ti tick scanning the power
lines. What a welcome sight!
Sleet was p' tog down by then, stinging
the men's t' es and coating the fur on their
parkas, They struggled through snow to
their hips. hut they perscvcrq..1.
Before teat ing our farm, they phoned
the office and received another trouble call:
this one is Sebring% inc. Meanwhile,
another team had been dispatched to
Carlow . The next morning the same
repairmen answered more emergencies,
because they worked a double shift.
Although most people appreciate the
efforts of the hydro repair crews, some
folks are never satisfied. One fellow, for
example, called the office one evening to
demand immediate service.
After the men retored the power to his
house, he poked his head out the door-long
enough to holler, "You laiy 'so-and-sos,"
what took you So long? I wanted to watch
Carol Burnett."
The hydro workers ;Hid the snowplowers
have one thing in common. Their jobs are -
sometimes thankless ones.ft takes a
hli ,bird, such as the one we received in
the first week of Februar, to force them
off the roads.
To keep our houses warm and our roads
passably'. they „battle against weather
conditions that compel the rest of us to
huddle inside. They make the winter
bearable for us. and the least ac" can do is
say "thanks .
