Mrs. F. Crouch conducted the meeting. Roll call was taken by having members respond to the question of why does Canada attract people from other countries, Education, peace, and wide-open spaces were among a few of the answers given. Mrs. H. Twynstra read about the cultures, customs and traditions of other countries. The motto was True Internationalism meaning an understanding of the way of life of other persons outside of Canada. Mrs. H, Morton, Curator of Tweedsmuir History, reported on the Cloverdale History, Mrs. F. Crouch spoke of some of the travels to other countries she had taken personally bringing first hand knowledge of people beyond our borders. A poem, "Good Morning" was shared by Mrs. Alton Craven which made members aware of the numerous ways in which a new day can be met, How many words can be for- med from the phrase World Affairs? This was the challenge put to the members. Jean Lee was top winner finding a total of forty-four words. Presisent, Mrs. McAlpine closed the meeting with the Institute Grace. Mrs. C.

Chosen from 32 contestants, Jana Lyn has been busy all this past week acting as hostess for the Western Fair. Her duties in this capacity have included at- tending several scheduled lun- cheons, sometimes giving a brief speech, presenting ribbons, and representing the Western Fair in general, putting people at ease with her natural graciousness and charm. She also took part in the official opening. The past year Jana Lyn has been enrolled at the North Texas State University where she is studying music, speech and drama, Although her respon- sibilities at the Fair will delay her return to school slightly, she plans to go back next week for her final year.

Even when it would have been con- sidered more sensible to turn back there was a certain satisfaction in getting the mail through. "I remember having my stockings soaked through before I'd gone very far" said Mrs. Gilbert. "One of the ladies along the route made me stop and change into a pair of hers. By noon they were dripping wet Ailsa Craig entrant is fairest at the fair in Biblical drama, she hopes to become involved in Biblical films in the future. The daughter of Mr. & Mrs, Andy Stewart, Main Street, she has always been interested and active in her home community of Ailsa Craig, and spent the greater part of this past summer in community involvement. All of July was devoted to teaching in various Bible schools in the area including two weeks at Nairn, one week at Lucan and one week at Wortley Road Baptist Church in London. During August she devoted most of her afternoons to teaching children in the area how to swim, using the family's back yard swimming pool to give in- struction as the community still lacks public swimming facilities. Last year the 21-year-old winner represented the village as "Miss Centennial" and will now be eligible to cqmpete at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1976 for the title of "Miss CNE Sweetheart of the Fairs", r1.4•4...4 again and another of the ladies exchanged them for a dry pair of hers until I got home". "Most of the time the people are very kind", acknowledged Mrs. Sutherland. "They'll come and pull you out with tractors when you slide into the ditch and help wherever they can".. And with 105 boxes on the Sutherland's route and 138 on the Gilbert's it's handy to have a few good neighbours.

Two of the Ailsa Craig rural route postal carriers received their 25 year service pins. Keith Gilbert has been serving RR 1 Ailsa Craig for the past 38 years, and Roy Sutherland has been covering RR 3 Ailsa Craig for the past 30. Harold L. Elder, manager of the Southwestern District came from London along with a representative from the Strathroy Post Office Stan Hayes to present the two men with their pins, A few of the postal employees and family members were on hand to congratulate them, "When I first read the names of the persons involved I thought I had a hit on my hands", quipped Mr. Elder. "I was certain it read Gilbert and Sullivan"! The pins bear the latin in- scription, "Servire Populo" - to serve the public. And as the Gilberts and the Sutherlands related events which had taken place during their mail deliveries, it was evident the motto was indeed lived. "We began delivering mail on January 1, 1938", stated Keith Gilbert. At that time Christmas and Sundays were the only days in which there was no mail delivery. The Gilbert's began their route with a horse in buggy in '38 while the Sutherlands began their career on July 4, 1945 driving a model T. Ford. "I remember my mother heating an old catalogue on the stove for me to sit on while I rode in the buggy", recalled Mrs. Gilbert.
