The candles were all made by Mrs. Allan Rundle, of Exeter. T-A poto re Have you noticed a vast itn- Provement in my writing lately? You haven't. Have you noticed a slight improvement? No? Seven weeks ago I enrolled in a creative writing course at Fa nshaw e College in London. The class, which meets one evening a week, continues until December. Although I don't expect to compose a No. 1 bestselling novel after completing my studies, I'm benefiting from the experience in many ways. The first night, for example, I viewed the impressive ar- chitecture of the edifice, from the outside as well as the inside. I wasn't following a conducted tour; I was lost. With the help of a member of the teaching staff, I finally located the correct classroom. Our instructor promptly an- nounced, "We'll meet in another room next week - number D1006." Because I was determined not to be late a second time, I arrived on campus three-quarters of an hour early the following week. I entered a side door and mounted a flight of stairs. Then I spied a floor plan, which had been hung tactfully on the wall at the top of the steps. Feeling little self-confidence, I chose my route and wound my way through the halls. Five minutes later I noticed a door marked D1006. Unbelievable! With a half-hour to kill before the class began, I wandered along the corridor. Through the large windows, I admired the attractively landscaped cour- tyard, which connected the new wings with the original structure, I also passed a spaciouS lounge filled with sofas, coffee tables, NUTRITION WORKSHOP — A Nutrition workshop in Hensall Thursday sponsored by the South Huron District W.I. was open to any interested women. A nutritionist gave an interesting talk about the food we eat and proper balanced diets. Shown looking at the Canada Food Guide are Mrs. Carl Payne, presi- dent of the Hensall branch, Mrs. Gordon Elliott,sec.-treas.ot the South Huron District, Mrs. Gordon Papple, board director Mrs. James Keys, president of South Huron District, and Mrs. Anne Donohoe, a food and nutrition speciCilist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. T-A photo Christmas is coming up fast and nothing is more beautiful at the - festive season than decorative candles flickering on a snowy evening. Candles have become very popular in the last few years, and the shapes, sizes and com- binations of colours available are almost endless, One local lady, Mrs. Allan Rundle has become quite in- terested in the craft of candle making in the past three years and has made some very in- teresting and unusual designs The basic ingredients of any candle are paraffin wax, colouring, which can be bought at a hobby shop or old crayons will do tit takes five crayons to colour a medium sized candle) wicking, steric acid (about 4 tablespoons pet' pound of wax to harden), and molds. The molds used by Mrs.Rundle include used milk cartons, jars, bottles and bowls and molds which can be purchased at a hobby shop. By, several different shaped jars a' unique shaped candle can be made. Striped candles can be made by filling the mold with first one colour of hot wax, tilting it until the wax sets and then adding another colour. Mrs. Rundle says that if the candle is put in the refrigerator just before removing from the mold the wax shrinks slightly and the candle can be easily removed There is no limit to the different shapes that can be made. After the candle has been taken out of the mold it can. be carved with a paring knife Whipped or beaten wax adds a fluffy surface to a candle, The hot wax is beaten with a fork until it is foamy Ice cubes placed in the mold before the wax is poured in makes a lacy candle that looks beautiful when burning, Interesting effects can be achieved by making a jelly roll of two contrasting colours of thin magazine racks and ashtrays. Some of us live in homes less comfortable than that lounge. I wondered whether the luxurious surroundings increased our learning capacities. When I joined my classmates, our instructor announced, "We've been assigned to another room. Follow me." As we marched along the hall, down the stairs, across the courtyard, through the cafeteria and up another hall, my heart sank. Would I ever find my way out? Fortunately our third and permanent classroom was conveniently located near the parking lot. Our class consists of twelve people representing both sexes, various age groups, diverse occupations and a dozen different viewpoints. A common interest - writing - brings us together. One ambitious lady is working on her first novel. A male student declares, "I'll write a book if it takes me a hundred years!" Our study technique is simple. We react each other's com- positions and analyze them paragraph by paragraph, sen- tence by sentence, phrase by phrase, In other words, we tear them into shreds. The criticism is constructive; the varied interpretations of a manuscript help the author to view his writing through the eyes of the readers, Each of us learns from the eleven other students as well as from the instructor. Our conversations aren't restricted to poems and prose, though. While we learn from each other, we also learn about each other. The course taught me more than facts about creative writing. It supported my belief that people benefit from association with others. Octet S70 Geed Mrs, Irene Brintnell, Exeter, age 80 on November 5. Mrs. Hilda Finkbeiner, Huronview, age 83 on November 15.
