Martians drop in at
4-H achievement day
Now, that Mother's Day is
over, I can breathe again! By the
time that Day Wears around each
year, the commercials have me
brainwashed to such a frenetic
pitch, I'm as nervous as a bat in
church,
The trouble is, I don't know
how I'm supposed to act.
Like a saint? Heaven forbid!
Even one day a year of being
all sweetness and light is more
than I can bear.
Everytime I start to yell at
somebody, I'm caught up short
by recalling the verse on the card
presented to me in the morning
extolling the sweetness of my
temper and the gentleness of my
nature.
I bite my tongue until it
bleeds.
Knowing my kids, I suspect
they pick out the cards with this
very thought in mind.
Perhaps acting like a queen
would be better.
Sitting regally on my pillow, I
suffer my entourage to approach
with gifts, flowers and lop-sided
homemade cards, and
sometimes, breakfast on a tray.
The special treatment is nice.
But, the kids soon tire of this
servitude and are off to persue
their own interests.
Their father, who is worn out
from washing the car, his
Mother's Day gift to me, he says,
(you figure it out) is asleep on
the couch.
The queen feels slightly
miffed.
Surely they could stay
around or awake longer and pay
a little more homage to me.
So it goes the whole day . .
periods of frustration because I
can't blow my top at those nasty
children, and spells of depression
because they aren't showing
proper respect to me. By the end
of the day I'm in a witchy
mood.
You might know this
universal celebration was the
brain child of a certain Anna M.
Jarvis, a maiden lady, without a
child or chick to her name.
Her motives, may have been
the best, but no true-blue
mother would have thought up
such nonsense.
My problem is, I guess, I'm
not a stereotype of mom to
begin with.
The other day, as I munched
on a store bought donut, I
remarked, "Sure isn't as good as
the donuts my mother used to
make," and I went into a
lengthy reminiscence of the days
I watched and smelled donuts
frying in a big black kettle in our
farm kitchen.
My daughter snorted, "And,
just what are we going to be able
to tell our kids about you?" she
chided indignantly.
"You never bake anything,"
chipped in her saucy little
brother.
"No mouth watering goodies
for us to remember," sighed his
spiteful sister,
"You're right," I agreed
cheerfully, "but just think about
all the other things you'll be able
to say about me."
"Yeah," she responded
sarcastically.
Mercifully, she let the subject
drop there.
Anyway Mother's Day is over
for another year and I'm back to
being my old familiar, miserable,
comfortable self again.
`WHAT A PAIR OF HANDS
CAN DO' is the name of a small
book, written and recently
published by Eva Somerville of
London, Ontario.
It is the story of the life of
Joseph Herbert (Herbie) Neill,
creator and first curator of
Huron County Pioneer
Museum, Goderich.
Miss Somerville traces
Herbie's ancestry back to his
Scottish forebearers who were
weavers, through to his own
difficult childhood, when he was
severely beaten by an ill
tempered and cruel teacher
because his poor vision did not
allow him to see the black board
and then on to his years as a
collector.
Mr. Neill became interested in
collecting antiques about 1930
and the collection grew until his
house in Gorrie was filled,
allowing him "only enough
space to sleep".
Around 1950 he was able to
gain the enthusiasm of enough
people to support his "crazy
idea" of housing his treasures in
the vacated Central Public
School in Goderich.
Although his formal
education didn't go past 'the
second book', his God-given skill
for assembling things, together
with long hours devoted to the
task of building up a museum,
which holds everything from
farm machinery to household
effects, he was able to affect an
exhibition that has been hailed
far and wide.
Miss Somerville brings the
complete story together as she
writes of Herbie Neill's passion
for his treasures, every one of
which was like a 'baby' to him,
Those interested in history,
especially the history of Huron
County will appreciate a copy of
this little book.

`Featuring Fruit' was the
topic of 4-H Achievement Day
held in South Huron District
High School, Saturday, when 11
district clubs from Elitnville,
Creditor) and Hurondale
participated.
The demonstrations and
exhibits showed the considerable
time and effort spent by the
members and their leaders as
they discussed many ways on
how to use fruit in meals.
Some were ingenious, such as
Hurondale Il's skit, which
depicted two Martians dropping
in for breakfast with a Canadian
family. These out-of-space
creatures were told the different
types of fruit, nutrition value
explained to them, and the
importance it plays in earthling's
diet.
Crediton III Club presenting
another short play portraying a
day with the Farkle Family and
got the message of good fruit
nutrition across humorously.
Other groups made use of
pictures, flip charts and live
demonstrations on how to
prepare fruit attractively for
different meals,
Comments on the exhibits
and demonstrations and skits
were given by home economists,
Mrs. R, Axtmann, Walton, and
Mrs. H. Ritchie, St. Pauls.
Catherine Hunt, Huron's new
home economist said, she was
"very pleased with the efforts
shown by 4-H members at my
first Achievement Day in
Huron."
