Crediton purchased land for a community park and fitted it up with a baseball diamond, tennis court, toboggan slide and a skating rink. They erected a memorial gate; they provided first aid equipment, drinking fountains, basin and towels for the school and assisted with the school fair. Hurondale was interested in music instruction. They enga- ged a music teacher in one of the school sections at a cost of $2 a lesson each week. This was by way of demonstration so that the school board might be induced to make it a perma- Try it!

When this was accomplished they would begin in another school section. Their members represented five dif- ferent school sections., Zurich had a sewing,bee for a family of children who had lost their mother. That year a three months' course on home economics was held at Exeter during the winter months. Over 30 girls took the course. In December 1925 the officers of the district met to discuss adopting an Armenian boy pro- vided the branches would raise the money. Three branches, Crediton, Exeter and Hurondale agreed to raise $33.34 to make up the required $100 to support a boy at the Armenian Boys Farm at Georgetown. This was done for three years. Seaforth Juniors were orga- nized in 1928 and attended the annual meeting held in James Street church Exeter when 60 were present. In 1930 when the annual meeting was held at Seaforth it included a morning session beginning at 10 a.m. Two Seaforth juniors presen- ted the first resolution recorded in the district books. It was moved by Evelyn Trewartha and seconded by Jean Fotheringham that "we request the Premier of Ontario to arrange that 500 girls of this province go to the Royal Winter Fair as guests of the province." At a special executive mee- ting held in October 1930 stan- ding committees were set up and conveners were appointed: edu- cation, Mrs. Arthur Rundle, Exeter; health, Mrs. O'Dwyer, Zurich, historical research, Mrs. B.W.F.

EXCITING COSTUME JEWELLERY FROM 41 1 JACK SMITH -Continued next week JEWELLER SAUBLE QUEEN Conservation projects outlined to Hurondale Mattresses should be designed for people, not for price, or for prettiness. They must give you sound, restful sleep, to give you value. We kept this in mind when we created the Sauble Queen mattress, when we specified to the manufacturer the features and qualities we wanted incor- porated in this custom-made mattress. The Sauble Queen is designed for YOU, made to give you a Wonderful night's rest. We're pleased to say that more than 100 customers have pur- chased the Sauble Queen and they all agree this exceptional mat- tress has given them comfort they've never had before at a price much less than they ex- pected to pay. Members are invited to be guests of Grand Bend WI on February 21 at 2 p.m. Ten dollars was voted to mental health. The next meeting will be held in Caven church February 27 at 2 p.m. Mrs'.

Beard, a genial, 300-pound, internationally known cook. It was fitting that he should pay his first visit to Toronto under the auspices of the wo- men's committee of the Art Gallery of Toronto because he maintains that food preparation is a form of art. The house was packed each day; some women bought the series of seven for $30. Others took single lectures at $5 each. It was estimated that 1,925 tickets were sold -- so the pro- ceeds were well worth while. But, aside from that, the women went home richer in cu- linary knowledge. "It's more worth while than blowing $30 on a hat" one lady said. Some of the recipes were given in the paper each day but we were interested because we ha- ppen to have a copy of his re- cipe book for cooks on every level from beginners to those who seek gourmet perfection in every dish. * Last week we sent out an SOS for a recipe for pickling midget corn cobs and we promptly received an answer from Mrs. Gordon Cudmore. PICKLED MIDGET CORN COBS 3 quarts corn cobs 3" to 4" 'long and no thicker than your thumb. Husk and cover corn with boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Place corn in jars upright and cover with pickling syrup. 1 1/4 pints white wine vinegar 1 cup water 1 1/4 pints white sugar Boil syrup for 5 min. Pour over corn and seal. This makes about 5 pints. If you wish add a pinch of tumeric to Vinegar mixture. It gives the corn a golden color. Be careful not ANYTIME CHILI SAUCE Mrs. Cudmore says tomatoes do not grow in Calgary where her daughter Jean, lives. So the housewives buy a few cans Of tomatoes and make chili sauce when convenient. 2 20-oz cans tomatoes 1 onion chopped fine small bunch celery cut fine 1 cup vinegar 1 cup brown sugar celery seed, salt, pepper-. to taste.

Winners for the evening were: Ladies high, Mrs. Ray Parkin- son; men's high, Ross Duffield; lone hands, Earl French; con- solation, Ray Parkinson. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING The annual congregational meeting was held on Tuesday evening of last week. Rev. D. M. Guest presided over the meet- ing. Mr. Gordon Johnson was appointed secretary. A few changes were made for 1963. Mr. Eric Atwood was added to the Board of Stewards. Mrs. Mac Mills was, appointed as missionary maintenance treasurer and Mrs. Hamilton Hodgins and Mr. Eric Atwood as auditors. Reports from the various organizations were very favorable. Plans were made for pur- chasing a piano for the Sunday School. Officers were: president, Mrs. William McCloy; vice- president, Miss Mary Wood; secretary, Miss lyl.J. Smillie, treasurer, Mrs. Henry Pybus. By 1902 Exeter was organized With Misp M. White, president, and Miss E. Penhale, secre- tary. Hayfield had organized also with Mrs. James Speck- man, president, and Miss Gard- ner, secretary. On January 9, 1903 the South Huron District was organized at Exeter with Miss M. White as president and Mrs. Al Has- tings, secretary. There were three branches: Hayfield, Exe- ter and Hensall. The last men- tioned disbanded in 1905 and Hayfield in 1912 but the Eg- mondville branch was organized with Mrs. Sproat, president and Mrs. Simpson, secretary. The following year a branch was organized at Blake. Ili January 1914 Grand Bend organized with Mrs. S.A. Carriere, president and Mrs. William Oliver, se- cretary and Zurich became a branch with Mrs. William Fritz, president, and Miss K. Camp- bell, secretary. Zurich is the oldest continuing society in the district. Egmondville and Grand Bend disbanded the following year and Blake in 1921, In 1919 three new branches, Farquhar, Crediton and Huron- dale were organized. After four years Farquhar disbanded. From 1903 when the district was organized until 1922 the president and secretary were from the Exeter branch. Mrs. Al Hastings was secretary until her death in 1922 and Mrs. (Dr.) Amos served eight years as president. Both held the same offices in the Exeter branch. Mrs. Amos moved to London that year. Losing these two members who held important offices was a great loss to both the district and Exeter branch. Mrs. John Hey, Zurich, was elected district president and Miss Madeline Haist, Crediton, was named secretary. Mrs. Hey held this position until 1930 with the exception of the year 1925 when Miss Laura Jeckell was elected president but due to illness she did not complete the year and Mrs. Hey again became president. There are no minute books which Mrs. Hastings used so we know very little of the activities during these years. The annual meetings were held at Exeter but an invitation was extended to hold the 1926 meeting at Crediton. This was accepted and it was decided that each branch would take turns in entertaining the Dis- trict Annual. This was continued except for the years 1942-45 when they were held at Hensall. During the 1920s the annual meetings were held in the after- noon starting at 2.30 and usu- ally they were held in a mem- ber's home. The branches pro- vided numbers for entertain- ment and reported on their activities during the previous year. The main item of busi- ness was the election of offi- cers. In 1924 dues were col- lected for the Federated WI of Ontario and sent to the pro- vincial secretary. A summer seriesof meetings was held in the district during the latter part of May or June. The department of agriculture furnished speakers for these meetings and the district pro- vided accommodation and At the meeting of Hurondale WI in James Street UC last Wednesday afternoon A. W. Pi- ckard spoke on the Ausable River Conservation Authority and by means of a map and plc- 'tures showed some of the in- teresting developments effected by that body. Mr. Pickard is Exeter repre- sentative to the Authority and was introduced by Mrs. Riney Keller, who chaired the pro- gram arranged by the agricul- ture and Canadian industries committee. The motto "A nation builds on sinking sand, unless its roots are in the land" was prepared by Mrs. Gerald McFalls and given by Mrs. Bruce Tuckey. Mrs. William Rohde favored with a piano instrumental.
