The highlight of the day was the presentation of provincial honors, signifying successful completion of 12 units, to four girls. Receiving provincial honors were Katherine Ratz, Crediton, Darlene Rader, Dash- wood, Brenda Fahner, Crediton, and Mrs. Marjorie Green, Huron Park. Five girls received their county honors, signifying successful completion of six units. They are Teresa Ondrejicka, Exeter, Rosemary Kelders, Grand Bend, Lia Smeekens, Grand Bend, Wilhelmina Blom, and Brenda Neil, Exeter. The project for the spring will be "sportswear from knits". She said that Exeter, is sort of a "compromise between the city and the country" for she and her husband. "He wanted to live in the country, but I wasn't too anxious, so this is just right", she said. She said she really likes Exeter, and everyone in the shops is very friendly. She hasn't met too many other people, however. In addition to hunting, Mrs. Beuerman likes to cook, and is Oct fit YO eea The Times-Advocate would like to extend bir- thday greetings to another member of the Over 80 Club this week. Best wishes to: Mrs. Clayton Smith, RR 2, Zurich, 96, January 15, 1973. If you know of anyone who would like their name to appear in this column, please inform us. There is no charge for this service. CANCER can be beaten very interested in interior decorating. She took a course in it, and now has a brand-new split level home on Sherwood Crescent to work on. The house isn't quite finished yet, but Mrs. Beuerman said she hopes it will be done very soon so she can get everything organized and unpacked. Mrs. Beuerman trained as a Registered Nurse in Stratford and worked at St. Joseph's Hospital in London when she lived there. She did a lot of emergency nursing, and said this was her favorite. She said she would like to go back to nursing, at least part time, and would eventually like to work towards her nursing degree. She said that her husband is a real sports enthusiast, and once they get settled, he will probably become involved in curling and hockey. Now, they skate on a little patch of ice near the house. "This is Jamie's first winter with skates," she said, "and he can't seem to work the skates and the hockey stick at the same time. But he is doing very well". She added that once Jamie starts school, she herself would like to get involved with things like the PTA. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em". That's how this week's new neighbor, Dee Beuerman, ex- plained why she took up the rather unusual sport (for a woman) of hunting. She said her husband Larry is an ardent hunter and fisherman, and that he gave her her first shot-gun the first year they were married. "I'm not very good," she ad- mitted, "but I like all the fresh air, and just walking around." She explained that they like to hunt small • game, rabbits, pheasants and partridge, for example, and they do their hunting all around the area and up towards Kincardine, The Beuermans and their two small, lively children, Jamie, 4, and Holly, 1, moved to Exeter about a month ago from London. Mr. Beuerman is a salesman for the Colemans Packing Company, and Exeter is right in the middle of the area he covers. "It is so much nicer to be centrally located," said Mrs. Beuerman. "Larry gets home a lot earlier, and can spend a lot more time with me and the children this way". Phone 235-0212 Page 19 Times-Advocate, Jamiary 18, 1973 Focts N .Fancies By Susan cocoa 04. 04;e44, Last Saturday, I had to go up to the high school to take some pictures at a 4-H homemaking club achievement day. I hadn't had the opportunity to attend one since I was in high school, and in 4-H, and it certainly brought back a lot of memories. For the uninitiated, achievement day to a 4-H'er is sort of like the Royal Winter Fair to a farm exhibitor, or the Olympics to a pentathlon champion, if on a slightly more minor scale. It is the day which culminates approximately two or three months of work; the day on which your efforts are displayed for all to see; and the day on which your final products are judged by the home economist of the area. You really put yourself on the line that day. And although very few girls fail to achieve a silver spoon, there is always a hidden fear that the home economist won't like what you have con- tributed, or won't think you have done enough work on your record book. I am very proud of the fact that I achieved my provincial honors ( i.e. completed 12 units or the equivalent of six year's work) in 4-H, although many, many other girls have at least that, and some have taken all the units it is possible to take ( advanced honors), The homemaking clubs, of course, are just for girls, with a minimum age of 12. For the men liberationists, I don't believe there is any rule against men joining, but as far as I know, no males have ever expressed a desire to do so, When I used to tell people I was in 4-H, and even last week when I said I was going to an achievement day, somebody got a big chuckle out of it, and asked if I was taking my cow and milking stool along. This is the usual response from those who know nothing about it, and my involvement with 4-H has been the butt of many jokes. But I cannot think of anything else, which all things considered, gave me such a wide background and knowledge in so many areas: first aid, etiquette, party ideas, sewing techniques, and especially a great reference file of recipes. It also teaches you to work with other people, both older and younger than yourself. When I first started, I remember how scared I was that everything I did would be wrong, and that I would never get my unit. But there was always one of the leaders, or one of the older girls there to tell me what I was doing wrong. Then, as I got older, I was able to help the younger girls in the group. You realize, however, that all these comments are made in retrospection. When I was in 4-H, I always found something to grumble about. I was too tired to go to the meetings, or I had something else on. Every club that had anything to do with milk, we always had to make custard - and I hate custard. Then there was the time we had to make four just four - tea biscuits to take to display at achievement day. My mother will testify to the fact that I had to make three whole batches of tea bisclits before I got four that I was satisfied with. Of course, there was always the question of what sort of a skit to do on achievement day, or of who was to present the demonstration or exhibit for the afternoon program. I wouldn't say that I participated any more than my share of times, but I was always a bundle of nerves, first to get the thing over with, and then waiting for the comments of the home economist. But always in the background were the leaders, encouraging us, pushing us to do better and telling us what a good job we had done. Sometimes we had trouble fin- ding a leader, but then there were ladies like my aunt, and the lady just up the road who showed unending enthusiasm with what was not always an overly- enthusiastic group of girls. But like I said, there was a lot more than just this for me in 4-H. One of the biggest thrills I got was being chosen as one of the representatives from the county of Dufferin to the provincial 4-H conference in Guelph in 1967. That was one of the best four days I ever spent - very little sleep, lots of fun, and an opportunity to meet other girls from all over the province. From time to time, I still run into people I met there, and we reminisce about some of the crazy things we did. Although I never got to directly take part in any of the inter- provincial exchanges, one of the girls who came to Ontario from British Columbia stayed at our house for two weeks, and we are still very good friends, though I haven't seen her since. One of the biggest projects ever undertaken by the 4-H club in Mansfield was the dance we sponsored annually. Each St. Patrick's Day, the 4-H girls held a big dance in the hall. We took care of everything from hiring the orchestra to , picking the "spots" for the spot dances, and soliciting various prizes from local businesses. It was a real community affair and absolutely everybody attended. We'd spend a whole afternoon decorating for it and you just didn't want to go if you didn't have a new dress. Our club has since stopped doing this, much to my disap- pointment, but I've never heard of another club even attempting something similar. With the profits we were able to make donations to several charities, to take bus trips (to the Ice Follies, for example) buy all the supplies for our club, and pay for our dinner on achievement Aylmer Open Friday Until Nine Three courses well attended Three new courses have started at the SHDHS night school program with a total enrolment of over 100 people. The most popular class is the iaterior decorating course, which had to be split up and runs on Wednesday evenings. About 70 people registered for this course, taught by Angela Charbonneau. Also on Wednesday evening, there is another class in lingerie sewing, with 21 members enrolled. Mrs. Lois Armstrong is teaching this class, and there may be yet another one starting later in the spring. Speed reading is the third new course being offered, on Thur- sday nights. Arthur Henwood is teaching the 17 students enroled in this class. When the weather gets better, they hope to offer a course in golfing.
