By ELAINE TOWNSEND
Last summer a friend of mine
from London visited his native
land pf Belgium. Before his trip,
he asked whether,I'd like to cor-
respond with someone overseas.
"Sure!" I replied eagerly,
"That would,be interesting.
Two months,later I received a
letter from a fifteen-year-old
girl; the next week I heard from
a twenty-year-old; in a few more
weeks, a letter arrived from a
nurse, and after Christmas came
a note from a middle-aged lady.
When the fourth prospective
penpal contacted me, I panicked.
I had anticipated only one corn
respondent, but I feared my
friend had given my name and
address to half the population of
Belgium,
As my Canadian friends will
affirm,' letter writing is not my
forte. One girl friend, who has
worked in Toronto for eighteen
months, has yet to receive a
letter from me. But I haven't
received one from her either,
When she comes home to visit
her parents, we catch up on all
the news.
Another friend lives near
Windsor. Each year, we ex-
change quarterly up-dates of our
activities. The last time she
wrote, though, she mentioned
that she hadn't heard from me
for so long she forgot whose turn
it was to write and decided it
must be hers. I hope she was
right.
Another girl friend moved
from London to Niagara a year
ago, Last fall I penned a three-
paragraph letter telling her I
was coming for a visit, and this
spring I jotted a five-line an-
nouncement that I was coming
back.
I can't remember the last time
I wrote to my sister, but recently
I found a note from her that must
have been one of the last we ex-
changed. She mentioned that
"Davy" insisted he had to sleep
on the top bunk of his new bunk
beds. Now she has to look up at
him even when he's standing,
Odds n' Ends
Pen pals
and if she referred to him as
"Davy" she'd risk a stormy
teen-age reprimand.
It is unnecessary for us to cor-
respond now, because her house
has become almost another
home to me, Her husband began
tabulating my room and board
shortly after the wedding. That's
sixteen years ago, and guess how
much he has collected, Not one
cent,
Returning to the subject of
letter writing, with my track
record, how can I keep up with
four new penpals? I answered
the first letter of each and ex-
plained my predicament, If they
could be satisfied with a less-
than-prompt correspondent, we
could probably learn a lot from
each other. The answers spelled
relief for they were all in similar
positions. Although we corres-
pond irregularly, I have already
learned many things.
For example, from the fifteen-
year-old I discovered Donny Os-
mond is as popular over there as
he is here, She also revealed that
high prices force many Belgians
to fly to England to shop for fur-
niture and clothes.
Meanwhile, the twenty-year-
old talked about her job in a
bakery in a monastery, which is
almost a village in itself. She
also explained that in the
northern part of Belgium the
language is Dutch, in the
southern part French is spoken
and in a small region the people
speak German.
The nurse sent a snapshot of
her wedding. Some Belgian wed-
dings are unusual. The bride and
groom dress similar to Canadian
brides and grooms, but the
guests wear old-fashioned
costumes.
The other lady's family has
been involved in diamond cutting
for generations, She shocked this
Canadian gal with the revelation
that in Belgium diamonds aren't
considered a girl's best friend;
they're just another piece of
jewelry.
From me, the penpals learned
one thing — Canada has rotten
winters.
"Take time for all things" was
the theme for the Huron south
district women's institute annual
meeting, held in the Grand
Bend United Church, 1Vlay 19.
Mrs. Roylance Westcott
district president presided for the
session. The•meeting opened with
the Institute Ode and the Mary
Stewart Collect. A minutes
silence for departed members,
followed by the beautiful hymn
"Beyond the Sunset", sang by
Mrs. Louise Oke,accompanied by
Miss Ann Brodie. Miss Ruth
Skinner introduced the new
F,W.I.O. board director Mrs.
William Porter who then ratified
the district directors. •
Mrs. Lloyd Ballantyne
secretary-treasurer read the
minutes and reported a balance
of $159.95 in the treasury. Mrs.
Westcott speaking on the theme
"take time for all things" advised
members to slow down, relax,
enjoy life and the world around
us, remember this day gone by
never comes again. Take time to
think , for thoughts are the
source of power. Take time to
love, make living worthwhile.
Always take time to laugh, it's
music of the soul.
Kippen WI conducted a lively
sing a long, then Mrs. James
Drummond presided for the
reports of the standing com-
mittees. Acting Home Economist
Mrs. Loralee Marshall reported
900 girls in 4-H clubs. Featuring
Fruit is the new fall project. A
workshop on Quilts was con-
ducted in the county for W.I.
members and proved to be very
well attended. A pot-luck lun-
cheon followed the morning
activities.
' Mrs. Herb Maluske, F.W.I.O.
president, was guest speaker for
the afternoon taking as her topic
"Seeds for Thought". Love is the
greatest seed we can sow. God's
gift to you and me. Sow the seeds-
of friendship for the coming
years. All women are like seeds
in their institute branches,
growing, blossoming like flowers,
but flowers fade and die and we
should be planning for future
years by getting new members.
Mrs. Maluske was presented
with a gift by Mrs. Ray Rader on
behalf of Huron South District.
Pennies for Friendship was taken
by Crediton W.I. A craft display
by Zurich WI and one on Huron
County by the public -relations
officer proved interesting. Mrs.
Tom Hern provided piano
selections.

ficers. They are past president
