It was of interesting design with a lever movement instead of an arm shaft. Unfortunately, it proved to be too weak for the thick fabrics that were then popular. the Husqvarna 2000 SL comes in a choice of two colours: royal red or traditional white, Ask for a demonstration soon. You will discover Husqvarna's beauty is not just skin deep. Although the Freja model turned out to be a great success right from the start, Husqvarna introduced a new mo- del, the Triumf, only two years later in 1885. This model remained popular for 46 years. The Triumf and Freja models were the sewing machines that laid the foun- dations of Husqvarna's reputation as a sewing machine manufacturer. In 1953 this was followed by a cast- iron sewing machine, the Class 20. Exclusive features such as a gear-shift transmission, a jam-proof hook that needed no oiland a one-piece construct- ion all helped make this model a mile- stone in the history of Husqvarna sew- ing machines. 1961— An historic year Do you remember the time? It was only 16 years ago. Do you recall the clothes of the early 60's? The material? A little stiff. Not really suitable. Somewhat uncomfortable. Rather preten- tious. A new fashion trend began to emerge. It wasn't the cut that changed, rather the materials, Softer, prettier, new elastic fabrics became more and more popular, 1961 also saw the introduction of the Husqvarna 2000 — the unlimited sewing machine. With the Husqvarna 2000 came Trimotion® — the automatic 3-way action of needle and . feeder — and interchangeable stitch programmers. It is this combination that makes the Husqvarna 2000 a work of true genius. Development of new fabrics dictates the types of stitches a sewing machine should offer. A sewing machine with built-in stitches soon becomes old fashioned as new fabrics enter the market. In the 99th year of Husqvarna sewing machine history, Husqvarna again in- troduced a world innovation: the com- pletely self-oiling household sewing machine. Fabrics and oil don't go to- gether. So Husqvarna makes sewing machines that don't need oiling. Permanent lubrication Husqvarna sewing machines have bearings of sintered steel impregnated with a special lubricant. When the machine is in use and the moving parts rotate, heat is generated making the oil seep through the porous core of the bearings to lubricate the shaft. When the movement stops and the bearings cool the oil returns back into the core. Husqvarna's permanent lubri- cation system eliminates two old problems. For one, the machine cannot be damaged through insufficient oiling, and secondly, there is no risk of oil marks on fabrics.

After a long drought, even we humans welcome a downpour that gives growth to our crops and gardens, greenness to our lawns and freshness to the air. A stroll in a warm gentle shower can be a pleasant experience, although some people might' think we were odd, But more often a rainy day plays havoc with our lives, It can ruin a field of tut hay that was ready to bale; it can turn a corn field into a bog; it can dis- rupt a picnic or postpone a baseball game, and it can make a walk to the corner store feel like going through a car wash without a car. One rainy day is tolerable, but several rainy days in succession , can become downright depress- ing, For example, I am writing this column on a Monday, and rain has fallen off and on (mostly on) since Friday, This morning I awoke to the familiar sound of "drip, drip, drip" from the eaves. At 8:30 the street lights were still on. They were shrouded in fog, which grudgingly lifted to reveal a brooding sky. The clouds looked as though they had settled in for another day. By 10 o'clock, a steady "pat-a- pat" drummed on the roof, and cars swished along the streets spraying the pedestrians, who were already soaked. Around 12:02, when the kids in town were halfway home for lunch, the sky opened up. The downpour stopped as suddenly as it began, but during the long afternoon, the rain resumed its pattern of fits and starts. Drum rolls of thunder echoed above the housetops, and slashes of lightning split the clouds. The sky remained gray; the autumn foliage took on som- bre shades; a crafty breeze drove dampness into every bone, and the whole atmosphere was soggy. It was not the type of day to buoy a person's spirits. Even the starling outside my window seemed depressed. His monotone expressed no excite- ment at the prospect of a juicy worm poking its head out of a muddy flowerbed. It was probably too wet for worms anyway. By 5 o'clock, the street lights were back on, At 6 o'clock, I turned on the TV to hear the news. Guess what they were reporting! Flooded streets and basements... They even showed a film clip. Then the weatherman appeared with a hesitant smile to forecast more of the same for tomorrow and Wednesday. I will fall asleep again tonight with the pitter-patter of tiny raindrops on my roof. Why does the thought "forty days and forty nights" keep floating through my head? William McCurdy of Exeter was welcomed to Huronview • during Monday's program. Mrs. Maitland Driver, Molly Cox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided old-time music. Goderich Township Women's Institute volunteers assisted with activities and Morgan Dalton helped lead the sing-a-long. Ken Salter from the Bluewater Centre at Goderich showed a colour film of the Goderich bicentennial parade during the Family Night program. Everyone enjoyed watching it again. Special interest was shown in the float,which included one of Huronview's residents, Gladys Henry,'who had been centennial queen in 1927, The Seaforth Happy Citizens Club were hosts for the Sep- tember birthday party. Lorne Dennis, president, was master of ceremonies for the program. He did the calling for a square dance by eight of the Seaforth Seniors, accompanied on the piano by Elsie Henderson. There were readings by Mabel Scott, Lillian Pepper and Joe White; violin solos by Stanley Hillen; and mouth organ selections by Lorne Lawson. Edith Dunlop played the piano for musical numbers. Minnie Hayter, who was celebrating her eightieth bir- thday, thanked the club on behalf of residents.
