N' Fancies By Gwyn Extraordinary fine craft exhibits were displayed by the nine branches participating in the 48th District Annual of South Huron Women's Institutes, May 21, in Hensall Presbyterian Church. Zurich branch showed many small crafts done by the residents at the Blue Water Rest Home. A unique quilt, depicting a detailed map of Huron County, listing townships, concessions and towns was displayed by Seaforth Women's Institute. Kippen East set up an interesting arrangement of wall plaques, candle holders and other objects executed from tin cans which had been cut and intricately curled, and which were created at Huronview. Needlework and embroidery was featured by the Hurondale branch; hand loom weaving, done by Misses Greta and Amy Lammie, by the Hensall Institute; an assortment of hand crafts, from Grand Bend, and the ancient art of Swedish weaving or embroidery by the Elimville group. Mrs. Eiben Weigand of the Dashwood Institute showed beautifully hooked rugs and explained the dying process for the materials used in them, and a demonstration on the knack of restoring and refinishing wood was given by Mrs. Bruce Shaper for Crediton. District President, Mrs. Delbert Geiger, Zurich spoke briefly in the morning session and stressed the importance of Institutes working together. She said, "Let us strive for excellence in our programs and public relations." During the afternoon, Mrs. W. Lawrence, Embro, brought greetings from the Provincial Board. She said the Women's Institute would celebrate its 75th anniversary in 1972, and she predicted it would last another 75 years at least. As an anniversary project the Institute plans to raise $50,000.00 which will be contributed to McDonald College, University of Guelph. Mrs. Lawrence stated the Institute encourages home making, produces leaders and helps members become more useful citizens. She informed the audience that Provincial Board had sustained 12 resolutions, among which were resolutions to ask the Federal Government to retain existing drug laws; encourage the replacing of dead trees; eliminate the small print in legal documents; prohibit non-returnable bottles; raise the tax exemption to $2,500.00; ban cigarette advertising on radio and T.V.; and, require safety belts and pole guards on all new tractors. The district delegates voted to contribute a plaque to the Home Economics Clothing department, Centralia College of Agricultural Technology; heard the reports from the standing committees; and listened to Catherine Hunt, Huron Home Economist tell them, "In a world of strife, it is vital we parents and advisors do all we can to help young people .. 4-H clubs are a wonderful way of doing this." Many of last years officers were retained in their same °salons. Past President is Mrs. D. Mack; president, Mrs. Delbert Geiger; I st vice president, Miss Ruth Skinner; 2nd vice president, Mrs. VVellwood Gill; secretary treasurer, Mrs. Newell A commonly voiced ideal is that one should never go into debt, Actually, if this rule were rigorously followed, our economy would collapse. Such things as houses, cars and large appliances must be purchased on credit by most people. However, those innocent looking little credit cards which flood the mails and which promoters claim will 'uncomplicate' our lives are an open invitation to disaster for many people. Carefully employed, credit cards can be a useful family tool, but in some instances they are as one unhappy consumer reported, "the debt of me . . . I charged when I should have retreated." Irresponsible and impulsive use of credit cards has lead to serious personal problems, is a factor in continuing inflation and often brings a serious shock at the end of the month. Besides this, the annual interest rate of revolving credit type payments is 18+%, and this is a very high price to pay, indeed. Another bad thing about credit cards is ALL customers pay the cost of credit given to the increasing number of consumers. The Consumers Association of Canada points out even if you pay cash for purchases, you are still supporting your neighbor down the street for his credit purchases because the merchant add's the cost of credit to the prices of all ,the oods in his store. Thus the buyer who pays cash is penalized. Do you ever feel you should get a discount for paying on the spot? The store gets your money immediately, can invest it, does not have W keep records of your purchases and does not have to worry about a delinquent account. Barney Danson, member of Parliament for York North, has a • solution .. . the Cashex Card. He suggests this card be presented to retailers for a discount equal to his credit costs. He states this would be in the neighborhood of five percent. (Often a simple request for a cash discount will prove effective.) If you want a Cashex Card write to Barney Danson, M.P., House of Commons, Ottawa . . . no postage needed. Mr. Danson is willing to supply the retailers with a sign for their windows to display beside their credit card signs. Ibis is the way the world ends, Not''44jth a bang but a whimper. (T.S. Eliot) After Hiroshima it looked as if we would eventually succeed in blowing ourselves to bits, but now it appears we will go out in an aura of increasing creeping pollution . . . slowly, imperceptibly, miserably. The warnings are not coming from irresponsible people but from scientists, medical men and environmental engineers who know where of they speak. We, the public, are quick to blame the government, But let's face the facts. We want automobiles; we want extensive packaging, we want whiter-than-white shirts, and all the other 'good' things of life. . When controls are suggested by government there is a sounding of alarms and rushing of lobbies to Parliament Hill which seem to forget the object of our social well being. The 'good' life, in its truest sense is a healthy life'. The problem of pollution is not unsolvable. But it requires an international upsurge of people vocalizing to their elected representatives that this is WAR. Unless we do this, and do it with strength and meaning, we can be sure the old passing-the-buck game will go on for years, What is pollution? The Canadian Consumer lists a few descriptions of the word as: * dirt * man made waste, * volcanoes, * pollen, * automobile exhaust, * burning of fuel for power and heat * burning wastes * sand, gravel and cement operations, * atomic fallout, * detergents * jet aircraft, * insecticides, * pesticides. POLLUTION COSTS The CAC suggests that few of us stop to figure out what some of our garbage costs. For instance, when buying milk, if we throw out a 3 quart plastic jug it costs us around 21 cents; to throw away three wax cartons costs 27 cents and to throw out three plastic bags cost four cents. So, by using returnable jugs we can help prevent pollution and save money too.
