Club Week
By KATHRYN HUNTER
and BETH TAYLOR
The National Club Week
4-H clubs of Canada was held in
Toronto from Novembex- 15 to 20.
The event was sponsored by the
National Council for 4-H Clubs
of Canada. Mr. Pineau, of
tawa, is the president of
council.
We represented the 6,000
members of this province as the
Ontario Clothing team. The other
teams at Toronto represented
food, poultry, dairy, beef, swine,
potatoes, garden and grain, clubs
throughout Canada. The whole
group, comprising 114 club mem
bers, had representation from
every province in Canada includ
ing Newfoundland. This was the
first year that our new province
participated in the national com
petition.
We left Saturday, November
14, and returned November 21,
with our entire expenses paid. In
Toronto, all the club members
stayed in the Royal York Hotel
where the competitions were held
on Monday, November 16.
The clothing contest was divid
ed into three parts. We had to
present a' 10-minute demonstra
tion as a team. The topic we
choSe was “Anyone Can Wear A
Skirt”. We used felt figures and
applied felt skirts to them show
ing the different styles that dif
ferent figures can wear.
The second part of the contest
was a 10-minute informal inter
view as a team. During this time,
the judges could ask us any ques
tions on clothing construction,
clothing selection club activity
and grooming.
The third part was a class on
clothing selection. We were giv
en a model, a rack of clothes and
a specific occasion for which to
pick a wardrobe for the model.
At the end of 15 minutes each
member had to give five minutes
of oral reasons for her selection.
The Alberta clothing team
placed first in the competition
and we were fortunate enough to
place second among the nine
teams competing. Quebec was the
only province which did not have
a clothing team.
In the Royal York!’, we roomed
with foui’ girls from New Bruns
wick, one from Nova Scotia and
two from Quebec. We made
friends with the club members
' all across the continent and, as
I a result, we have received Christ-
I mas cards from all parts of Can
ada.
her way to Canada, she stopped
over at a cat show in Rochester,
New York.
Experienced Judge
While calling on Mrs. Vize, I
learned that judging long-haired
cats is not new to her. She has
chosen the winners at shows in
many parts of the British Isles,
in Paris and Africa before com
ing to the United States.
For the past 25 years she has
been a breeder of Persian cats,
following in the footsteps of her
mother. She established the “My-
owne Cattery of Famous Blues”
and has owned many well-known
cats, the most famous being
Ch. Astra of Pensford, winner of
over 40 awards. This cat has
won international championships
in France, Switzerland and Italy
and has sired international
champions all over the world,
one of which was Gallant Homme,
a long-haired blue Persian which
she exhibited at the National Cat
Club show in London, and re
cently sold to a French breeder
for £150 or nearly $400, Now
known as Mr. Europe, he was
chamjpion in ' three
shows before he was
old.
Served During War
During Word War I
served as a ‘driver in
men's Air Force and
War II was an ambulance driver
with the A.R.’P. from 1939-41
and was in the Air Force from
1941 ’till 1945. She drove a mo
bile canteen in Europe during
1946.

Classrooms Give
Cool Reception
What’s this??? Overcoats,
scarfs and gloves in the class
rooms! Due to mechanical dif
ficulties in the boiler room, the
upper floor classrooms of S.H.-
D.H.S. were unfriendly to stu
dents and teachers on Monday.
At least, they gave everyone a
cool reception.
Jack Frost and all his cohorts
were given a free hand for the
entire day, painting on the win
dows and making school life even
more miserable than usual. Ex
pert attention by a local plumb
ing firm resulted in. a correct
diagnosis of the situation and by
closing time the temperature in
the upper rooms had gone Up
half a decree to 52 degrees. One
teacher took a walk outside at
noon to try to get warm. Rooms
on the lower1 floor were in great
demand.
A need for close cooperation
between parents and teachers to
help overcome personality prob
lems was stressed by Dr. R. M.
Aldis, Medical Officer of Health
for Huron County, in an address
to local Home and School As
sociation members Tuesday night.
Dr. Aldis based his talk around
the shy child, pointing to three
major causes of shyness as be
ing overprotectiveness, lack of
approval and lack of encourage
ment.
He said that a definite pattern
for adult behavior may be easily
detected in the development of
the individual child and in order
for him to be sound, he must
be healthy mentally
