(PS: Thanks to the donor of this recipes) One of the most interesting speakers to ever visit this area was in town Wednesday evening •to speak to members and guests of the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded. Dr. S.J. Koegler, director of the training and treatment services at the Cedar Springs Hospital School talked about the causes of mental retardation. His discussion was designed primarily for a youthful audience because Dr. Koegler spends a great deal of his time speaking to high school groups, but I doubt that anyone left that meeting without thinking how lucky most Canadians really are. Several topics came to light which were new to me. I have known for some time now that it is not wise to drink too much coffee, but I really didn't know why. According to Dr. Koegler, scientists are running tests on the caffein in coffee and tea and discovering some very disturbing results. There could be a definite link between some forms of mental retardation and the intake of caffein during pregnancy, noted Dr. Koegler. Of course, he had no desire to raise undo fears in anyone in the audience, but the doctor did relate studies where certain species of animal life gave birth to abnormal young after being fed a diet which included caffein. Another rather startling fact was revealed by Dr, Koegler. He claimed that artificial sweeteners are now being tested for their possible harmful side effects. During lunch time I spoke to Dr. Koegler who was enjoying a doughnut WITHOUT coffee. I asked him if he ever drank coffee. "Never," said Dr, Koegler. "I know too much about it.' * * Whatever happened to the time when good posture was considered a mark of excellence' As I look around at the youth on the streets these days I see so many who are stooped over, hunch-backed and plodding along like there isn't a thing in the world for which to live. Please kids, get those shoulders back and let the lungs function freely, You'll feel great And look 110 percent better. Try it for just a month, Hurondale Women's Institute, a way of life for the women of this community for the last half century, celebrated its 50th anniversary last Wednesday evening with a beef banquet at Caven Presbyterian Church. Highlight of the event was a year by year review of some of Hurondale's activities since organization in 1919. The reports revealed a host of interesting details concerning changes through the years. Hurondale WI was formed out of the Patriotic League which functioned during the First World War for the benefit of the armed forces. Of 54 members who joined the Hurondale group in that first year, 20 are still living. One charter member, Mrs. Emily Gaiser, was present at the anniversary celebration and cut the huge anniversary cake decorated in white and gold. Mrs. Rufus Kestle, a past president of the organization, said that for years the social life of Hurondale revolved around the Institute. She recalled that at one point, the future of the group hung in the balance due to a disagreement over lunches served at the meetings. Apparently some serious discussion was given to discontinuing the refreshment period when, according to an earlier motion, lunch was to have consisted of bread and butter or sandwiches, one kind of cake, one other delicacy and tea. "It was a devastating thought, really," remarked Mrs. Kestle as she remembered back," but the vote was in favor of lunches and the Institute was saved. In her report, Mrs. Alvin Moir recalled many of the Institutes' early boosters. Mrs. Arthur Rundle talked about Hurondale's efforts to organize a liaison between the home and the school, and the group's donations to the Save the Children Fund in operation many years ago. At one time, Hurondale Institute began a campaign to have proper public restroorns in the town of Exeter. Records show correspondence between town council and the Institute, but a side remark reminded everyone that proper washrooms in Exeter "are still quite necessary." A committee was formed to sponsor music instruction in the schools. Arrangements were made in 1930 with W. R, Goulding who agreed to teach music in the schools at a cost of $2 per week! Renovating small cemeteries was another concern of the early Hurondale Institute members and Bethesda Cemetery was the first one to be restored. In 1933, the group catered to a Masonic banquet. The menu was scalloped potatoes, ham, peas, rolls, butter, apple pie and whipped cream, cookies and coffee. The price per plate was 35 cents! About that time, all Institute members had an opportunity to 'enroll in a course on culling hens and washing eggs. The first homemaking club for 4-H girls was sponsored in 1938. The club was the Jolly Juniors and the name of the course was "Cottons May Be Smart." Head table guests were introduced by Mrs. Harry Strang. They were Mrs. Alvin Moir, only continuous active member since 1919; Mrs. Wilfred Mack, district president, Mrs. William Dougall, secretary-treas- urer; Miss Susan Heard, Huron County Home Economist; Mrs. Everett Small, past provincial president and guest speaker; Mrs. Lloyd Ballantyne, president; Mrs. Vermont Pow, area chairman; Mrs. Rufus Kestle, past president; Mrs. Wilbur Lawrence, federated board member; and Mrs. Garnet Hicks, who extended the welcome. Other special guests included Mrs. Gowan Young, St. Thomas; Mrs. Herbert Jackson, Fingal; Mrs. Charles Munro, Embro; and Mrs. Ross Johnston, Woodsley, co-hostess of "Town and Country" which originates in a Windsor radio station. Others who took part in the program were Mrs. Mac Hodgert, Wendy Elston, Mrs. Will Sillery and Mrs. Harold Jeffery. WMC study comfort theme The Women's Missionary Circle of the Exeter Pentecostal Church met at the home of Mrs. Norman Kleinfeldt with 10 members present. President Mrs. Keith McLaren was in charge of the meeting. Mrs. Don Finkbeiner opened the meeting with prayer. Roll call was answered with a scripture verse containing the word blood. A solo was sung by Mrs. Norman Kleinfeldt. Several letters were read from missionaries including one from a Bible student from the church now attending Bible College. A missionary reading was given by Mrs. Ervin Eggert. Mrs. Milford Prouty spoke on comfort in time of trouble. This was followed by a session of prayer. Mrs. Eldon Miller closed the meeting with prayer. A dainty lunch was served by Mrs. Norman Kleinfeldt and Mrs. Percy Bodaly.
