One son made a grand- father clock which sits in the livingroom. Mrs. Grimmink says that teaching school keeps her pretty' busy and she no longer has as much time as she would like to make things for herself, "You always have to have new ideas for the children and that keeps me pretty busy". From the number of samples she has you know she has been more than busy. The things that she makes with the children at St, Patrick's are things that children or adults can make for themselves or are perfect for Christmas gifts. eetaftelv data Plastic bottles, scraps. of material, leftover bits of yarn and a little felt can be combined to make toys for children that will last and will be safe. Some of the things she has made include purses Made of wool crocheted onto cutoff plastic bottles, octopus and frog 'bean bags, cloth dolls, baby slippers and doll clothes, afghans, toilet paper dolls and a host 'of other items.

She has over 400 dolls from around the world and has Please turn to Page I I If you were to walk into the home of Mrs. Fred Grimmink of RR 3 Lucan you would be sur- prised by the extent of her collections and craft work which are displayed throughout the house. As you walk into the kitchen, you would see one complete wall filled with salt and pepper shakers of all sizes and descriptions. In a glass cabinet built by her late husband, bet- ween the kitchen and the living room there are over 850 different sets of shakers. Mrs. Grimmink is proud of her collection which she thinks is perhaps the second largest in the world, (she read recently of a collector with over 1000). The living room is filled with beautiful antique furniture 'and the walls are decorated with some of the work she has done. There is a magnificent DOLLS CRAFTS — Mrs. Fred Grimminck, RR 3, Lucan is shown with a few of the many crafts she does and below with a small part of her collection of over 400 dolls from around the world.T-A photo needlepoint picture of a fox hunt which represents hundreds of hours of work, On the other walls are needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch work and hangings all done by Mrs. Grimmink. The carpet is, covered with hooked rugs and crocheted and em- broidered pillows adorn the furniture. One interesting piece of work, a rug hooked during the storm of 1971 exemplifies this lady's creative imagination and talent, • During that winter storm she was alone in the house for four days. The children were snowbound at the school and her husband and older sons were trapped in London. Without telephone or any contact with the outside world she turned her energy towards the design and creation of a wall hanging, hooked with wool she had in the house, at the time, to commemorate the event. Mi;s. Grimmink uses her talents to teach children from St, Patricks Separate school in Lucan and also a night course fdr Fa nshawe College in Lucan, Included in her instruction is knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, rug hooking, embroidery, some sewing and the imagination required to make projects from things found around the home. Mrs. Grimmink is a strong believer in busy hands. She said that she was sorry more children in the public school systems don't have the opportunity to learn some of the skills she teaches. She feels that if these crafts were taught to children we would have fewer senior citizens with time on their hands. Her own family is a good example of how true her words are. "We are never bored," she said, "we are always making something". Her daughters have learned their skills from her and some do oil painting as well and her sons are also good with their e Beat Down Food Pies Your sturdy red brick walls withstood forty years of wind, snow, rain and hail. The black shingles on your roof survived an attack by flames from a nearby barn fire. Your varnished door was never locked; you welcomed everyone who visited you. You didn't have a parking lot as the modern churches do. On Sundays, cars lined both sides of the road. Your lawn was small but neat; i along your south wall, spirea, :"forsythia and barberry bushes 6i bloomed; two cedar trees shaded your entrance; the pavement leading to your front door con- tained several cracks. Inside the door, a short flight of steps straight ahead entered your basement. in which the Sunday School classes were conducted. To the right of the door and to the left, a winding staircase led to Your upper floor. A swinging door, that could be opened with a gentle push, hung at the top of each stairway. Your rows of oak pews were divided into three sections - a short seat for four people on each side and a long section for eight persons in the middle. A grey and rose floral carpet covered your two aisles. On a platform at the front of the room stood your pulpit, which bore an elaborate design carved in its dark wood, Before the pulpit, a low table held the two silver offertory plates, and at each side, a fern grew in a wicker stand. Beyond the platform, a bannister 'enclosed the choir alcove and the organ. The hymn numbers for each service were displayed on a wooden plaque, which hung on the wall to the left of the choir loft. In the right corner, a glass case contained one of your mementos - and the silver trowel that was used to spread the mortar on your first brick. Each Sunday, your regular visitors trod quietly up your aisles to their customary pews. The soft notes played by the organist reached your farthest corner. Sunlight often shone deed Archie Adair, Parkhill, age 90, on November 30. Albert Regier of Huronview, Clinton, age 83, on December 1. Mrs. Louis Restemayer, Dashwood, age 88 on November 21, throug• h your stained glass panes 0. creating colourful patterns on • your plain walls. During four decades, you witnessed many events in the life of your church family - baptisms, confirmations, weddings, Christmas pageants. Each year, on your anniversary, your former members, your present members and their friends worshipped together. Several ministers preached from your pulpit. Each spoke in a unique manner, but they all shared a similar purpose. They brought the word of God to your people. Like most things hi life, you were changed by time. You watched your congregation slowly dwindle, The elderly h members died, several families moved and many dissatisfied young people no longer attended. Five years ago the few remaining members of your church family regretfully disbanded. They joined the congregations of other churches, - some in nearby towns and some in villages. Your religious remnants were removed; then you fell beneath the auctioneer's hammer. Your new owners converted you into an apartment. With your different purpose came an altered appearance. both outside and inside. Picture windows replaced your long, narrow stained glass panes; a red brick entrance sheltered your front door; your winding staircases were dismantled. A young family now calls you "home". But many members of the community recall the days you were known as the "house of God." , Essex European arts display success Caven Presbyterian Church women held their annual November meeting Monday evening. President, Mrs. H. Strang presided and the meeting opened with the singing of a hymn.

After the business, Mrs. Murray read a poem entitled "Time has passed", following which everyone sang "Onward Christian Soldiers". The study book, chapter 6 - "Life style of the congregations in Mission" was conducted by Mrs. Ersman assisted by Mrs. Learn, Mrs. Cann and Mrs., Sillery.
