Centenni I Events AT E ETER LE 10 LL By MANUEL CURTS GREENWAY The Strawberry Supper `Tis over now, the crowd has gone And what a crowd it was, Seven hundred mouths - a lot to feed It makes one work, it does. The first one came at ten past four Most eager for a ticket By five they came in thick and fast They almost moved the wicket. Study on Huron nearly complete Professor C. T. M. Hadwen, who has been conducting a major study of the people and problems of Huron County expects to have his research completed shortly'. Dr. Hadwen, a sociologist at the University of Guelph, has been collecting data for the study over the past two years. Reporting to the Canadian Society of Rural Extension, at their annual meeting held at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Dr. Hadwen stated that the people of Huron County will certainly be given the results of his study as soon as they are available. Students working on the Huron County Historical File project are getting plenty of black hands and dirty clothes these days. Since June 11 team members have visited 26 municipal clerks, librarians, newspaper offices and presidents of historical societies to try to find out what records do or do not exist in the county. The project, under the supervision of James Scott and co-ordination of Bill Jeffery, Exeter is to update the history of Huron County from 1900 to 1975, It is financed by the Ministry of Education's "Experience 73" P.E.O.P.L.E. program with • Huron County Council meeting additional expenses. Student team members are From Dashwood and Grand Bend they came From Craig and Hamilton London, Sarnia and Michigan And, oh yes, from Crediton, The ladies, they'd been going strong For almost nigh a week, Preparing this and planning that For willing hands, they'd seek. The shed, it was a quite a state But men came to the fore, And cleaned it fast on Thursday night, Spread sawdust on the floor. The tables, they were put in place, The lights were turned on bright. The chairs were brought in from the church A fence was put up tight. Meanwhile the ladies, kitchen befit With pans of soap and water Were washing cups and silver- ware And talking a blue murder. And so, the eventful day arrived `Twas Saturday, you know, The berries, they arrived at nine The ladies had to go . To that kitchen once again And stem them for dear life. Judith Malone, RR 1, Centralia; Peter Johnson, RR 2, Goderich; Cathy McKinley, RR 1, Zurich; Pauline Baeckler, RR 2, Zurich; and Richard Snell, RR 1 Lon- desboro. One of the finds so far is a 40 volume set of maps dating from 1900 to 1920 of all the towns and villages in Southern Ontario. The maps have a scale of 1 inch equals 50 feet and are located in the home of Bruce Douglas, Stratford. Team members are anxious to meet anyone who has records dating from 1900 or who would be willing to talk with them. Please contact Bill Jeffery at 373 Edward Street, Exeter, or phone 235-0824. Four hundred boxes is a lot, You're right, they used a knife. Then later on, the waitresses Had a lot of work to do Getting the tables all in shape To serve you and you and you. The salad bowls were filled up full The sweets, they looked delicious, The tea was steeped and piping hot But oh!! those berry dishes. Two hundred and thirty pounds of • ham And that's a lot of meat, Was placed on platters, slice on slice And now, we're ready to eat. The preacher, he did offer grace For such a table laden, And.,.well, he should, for we are blest In this corner of His haven, If you were there, you should write this verse Because I shouldn't boast But I'm Sure you'd say, 'twas worth waiting for, Greenway' ladies deserve a toast. And now, the work is in reverse When the crowd had all departed. For everything must be back in place Like it was, before we started. For Sunday morning would come quick When back to church we'd come. And even though we'd try to pray. Our thoughts would wander some. But somehow, in spite of aches and pains We really all felt good For we'd accomplished quite a feat, In supplying all that food. And fellowship was good to see Within the congregation And who can tell, perhaps next year We'll feed the entire nation. K irkton folk on bus trip By MRS.
