Although Mrs. Haugh is pleased to talk about her flowers and to advise on care - 'Consistency in ,care is the answer to good gardening' -*she much prefers to talk about her life as a school teacher, `1 loved teaching,' she maintained. It's rather funny. I taught for the first 14 years in ungraded schools, And now they are just coming back into style.' Mrs. Haugh's 'ungraded' schools were then known as one room schools. In one school, near Sault Ste. Marie, she had 55 students in various grades, representing 13 nationalities, some of whom couldn't speak English. `At one time I had seven new students, Not only could they not understand English, they couldn't speak to one another either.' She surmounted that difficulty by giving them scribblers and they copied the names of objects in English. ' `And they were all speaking English very soon.' She returned to the Brucefield area and retired from teaching after her marriage to Wallace Haugh, in order to bring up her two sons and two daughters. `My youngest daughter was just finishing school when they asked me to teach in the Hensall school in 1955,' she recalls. She taught mostly grade five and six classes until her retirement after 11 years. Was she nervous about returning to the profession after 20 years absence? `No, It was the same thing, only in a different dress,' she said with a smile. 'Teaching doesn't change.' Mrs. Haugh came from a teaching family and her youngest daughter is a kindergarten teacher. `My father used to say when we all came home it was like a teachers' convention,' she recalled. 'My two brothers and my sister were all teaching too.' And in every school she taught, She -gave- packages 'of: flowelr- ebecIS:-Lately she has distributed Iris roots, this year to the Women's Institute and the United Church Women, organizations with which she is actively involved `It astonishes me sometimes, when I go visiting, to see the number of flowers blooming that have been brought home and planted by children,' she admitted, Her interest in flowers and gardening have been passed on to children at Brucefield United Church Sunday School, where she taught Sunday School for 40 years, and to 4-11 garden clubs for whom she acted as leader. She is also an elder of the Brucefield Church. During the winter months, when the garden is at rest, Mrs. Haugh turns for interest to Artex embroidery. She has decorated literally dozens of pillow cases and luncheon sets With simulated embroidery in floral motifs. Herp articular pride and joy is a lovely quilt on which she has 'embroidered' the official flowers of Canada's ten provinces. This talented and artistic farm woman also has tried her hand at painting. Her walls are decorated with attractive landscapes and seascapes, originally 'paint by number' scenes, but enlivened and enhanced by her own added touches. el-aeTr-Aageeeltev-AegOe-milere For more than a century, The Salvation Army at holiday time has been bringing little gifts and the warmth of friendship into hospitals, prisons, old people's homes, into all the "dark corners" of life.
