AN AVID QUILTER Mrs. McKinley has completed two this year, She and Debbie hold a 'Colonial Lady' quilt she is in the process of finishing for her eldest daughter Dianne, who is at school in Toronto. Active in dubs The home of Robert E. McKinley MY. and his family is a solid, comfortable two-storey Stone house built in 1867 by ancestors who left Ireland in 184 2 to escape the potato famine. After braving the tribulations of a long sea voyage, these hardy settlers stopped off at the Gaspe, journeyed on to Galt and finally settled on land, purchased from the Canada Company in Ooderich. On this same land, a few miles north of Zurich, the Robert McKinleys, his parents, two brothers and their families reside in separate residences. The first dwelling, a log cabin, was torn down when the present house was built, but some far sighted pioneer planted a small chestnut sapling on its site which has grown into a 60 foot tree that spreads its shade over a large part of the lawn of the 100 year old stone house. It is here that Audrey McKinley keeps the home fires burning while her husband is in Ottawa every week attending to the affairs of his constituents. Running the household, overseeing the activities of four active children and attending her duties in service clubs and church organizations keeps her well occupied. "But, it's not so bad," she states cheerfully. "Of course, there are times when it would be easier if Bob were here. However, he phones nearly every evening and gets home each weekend, so really, things work out quite well," Asked if there were any other disadvantages, besides her husband's absence, in being a politician's wife, she answered, "No, Bob loves his his work and I'm happy to go along with whatever he wants to do.' "Are you actively involved with politics yourself?" she was queried. "No, But when there is an election the children and I take on the back room jobs which frees Bob to campaign and visit the voters." The children are Dianne, a student at the Patricia Stevens Career School in Toronto; and Debbie and John, both enrolled in Grade XII at Clinton Secondary School, and Janet and Brenda who attend the Centennial Public School at Brucefield. The two oldest girls have been active members of 4-H clubs for several years and Janet has just enrolled in this organization. The girls' interest stems from their mother's enthusiasm for 4-H. Although she is not actively involved in the work at present she has conducted ten or twelve clubs in the past and hopes to get back at it when she has more time. This year she holds the position of Matron of the Exeter Chapter of the Eastern Star, as well as being a group leader for the U.C.W. at Goshen United Church. The M.P.'s wife sews many of her own clothes as do her older daughters. She loves to quilt and has completed two beautiful ones since January. Mrs. McKinley follows the local hockey games with interest since son John is an avid player with the Zurich Juniors. John shares his. fathers keen interest in horses and this spring is training a thoroughbred, Centennair, which he hopes to turn into a jumper. He is also kept lansy exercising one of his father's harness horses, Armbro Jaunty, The family doesn't join Mr. McKinley in Ottawa but Mrs, McKinley tries to get down three or four times a year and the children go at least once while parliament is pitting. Speaking of 'Ottawa, Mrs. McKinley recalled the highlight of her husband's political' career as being the first opening of parliament she attended after her husband's election to office. "I was really thrilled about it," she said. We were invited to attend the Opening Ball at Rideau Hall and were presented to Governor General Vanier and: his wife, I remember them .both As being so warm and gracious." The words 'warm and gracious' describe Audrey McKinley herself. She comes through as a friendly, happy woman, devoted to her husband and family, yet willing to share her time and talents with the community in which she lives.
