SELL? TRY CLASSIFIED By Maisy Jefferson Meeting three of the Wawanosh Mighty Machines 4-H Club was held on May 19 at 4:15 p.m. It was held at F.E. Madill Secondary School’s Tech Department. Ellen Jefferson opened the meeting with the pledge followed by the roll call, which was, “Name an engine part and its function.” Many members answered with engine parts they learned about last meeting. The guest leaders for this meeting were Mr. Greidanus and Mr. Armstrong, who are technology teachers at F.E. Madill. First, Mr. Greidanus compared four-stroke engines to two-stroke engines. He then discussed how important air filters are in an engine. Next, he explained how V8, V6 and V12 engines are set up. Members were able to see how the pistons work on a three-cycle engine which had observation holes in its cylinder wall. Ellen Jefferson had brought her 2001 GMC truck in for an oil change. While Mr. Armstrong and Ellen put the truck on the hoist, Mr. Greidanus showed the members the different oil filter wrenches. Members were given safety glasses and they began examining the underside of the truck. Mr. Armstrong led the oil change operation while members assisted. Reba Jefferson unscrewed the oil basin plug and Scott Jefferson took the oil filter off. While the truck was up on the hoist, Mr. Greidanus taught the members how to check tire pressure and each member tried their hand at it. After the oil was drained, the truck was brought down and new oil was poured in. Mr. Armstrong then led the members through the procedure of checking the air filter, transmission oil, and making sure all the lights worked. He told the members what to look for in a garage when you take a vehicle in for an oil change. Stuart Higgins checked the transmission oil level in the truck. Jillian Martin then thanked the guest speakers for their time and informative lessons. The meeting was closed by the motto. The next meeting will be held on June 7 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Higgins shed. Wawanosh 4-H Club learns about engines WI annual has spring theme The sixth District Annual meeting of the Huron Perth District Women’s Institute was held at the Howick Community Centre where everyone was welcomed by Howick Branch President Brenda Bunker. Brenda also presented Marg Greig with a wrist corsage from the Howick members. On each table there was a potted container with lettuce growing as the centrepiece. Using the theme: In Spring “Lettuce” Grow, President Marg said, “let us” grow in our objectives following the mission statement. “Let us” be brave and move forward to better things. “Let us” grow, flourish and not be afraid to make changes. She then had everyone repeat the Mary Stewart Collect in which the words, “Let us” are repeated several times. It was originally written as a prayer. Helen Craig, Marjory Humphries and Brenda Perrie from the Walton branch conducted the In Memoriam which included a solo by Margaret McInroy accompanied by Marion Godkin on the piano. Margaret E.

Barb Grube gave her ROSE report and stated that there is going to be another Ladies’ Night Out November 4 at the Listowel Agricultural Hall. The theme is “Looking Into The Future”. The branches have all had another busy year with their programs. Tweedsmuir curator Leone Foerter said there are still 12 branches in the District and the sheets with the location of Branch Tweedsmuir histories are being returned. Since the countryside is changing very rapidly each day, it is vitally important to get the community history written down before it is lost. Beth Forest presented the Farm Safety report and Marion Feldskov the Advocacy report. Robina Alexander from Maple Leaf branch had some readings and gave the members a chance to have a stretch break before continuing the meeting. Darlene Harding reported the theme for the Country Heritage Park is “Come to the Fair”. Huron Perth District is going to present a school display. Eleanor Elg introduced Sabina Kennema from the Greenway Blooming Centre. Sabina and her husband have a garden centre, naturium and butterfly farm and conservatory. She said that every butterfly will go to a specific plant. Plants can bring joy to any situation. She demonstrated how to form an outdoor partial sun to full sun container using many varieties of plants and grasses. The winner of the lovely planter was Donna Lovie, a guest from Huron South. Reconvening for the afternoon session, following a bountiful potluck lunch, members were entertained by Tara Green with her “Earth Vibes Drumming”. Audience members also took part with the various instruments Tara had brought with her.

By Laurina VanDorp Progress is coming with 4-H lambs. On Saturday, May 22 at Florence Pullen’s house the group had its second meeting of the year. At the meeting they learned how to make a harness. A harness is important for controlling a sheep when showing at the fair. They learned how to judge in theory as well as class of sheep. It helps to check sheep for certain things, but also educates on judging at the fairs. The group was also assigned a certain breed of sheep to research.
