Enroute they visited the Coyle Nut Factory at Tillsonburg, which was a real experience and well worth the trip in itself. Ours was the eighth bus that afternoon and it looked like a downtown London store two days before Christmas! However, everyone finally got what they desired and we were on our way again to Delhi where a delicious, but really, too generous, dinner was enjoyed. When we arrived in Sim­ coe everyone was entranced with the fairyland of colours both in the park and along the river, where the reflec­ tions were an added enjoy­ ment. Mr. McNaughton drove us through one way and then back through the other so that people on both sides of the bus could get a good view. An added bonus was that while the group had been eating their dinner Peter had taken the bus “for a bath”, so that all the win­ dows were sparkling clean. This was not the case in several of the buses which were also touring Simcoe, some from as far afield as New York State outside of Buffalo. Thanks to Peter was voic­ ed by Edythe Murdy on behalf of the members and friends. A special thanks to Edythe for arranging such a delightful afternoon and evening. This afternoon, Thursday commencing at 1 p.m. with dinner at the Shillelagh, members will enjoy their Christmas party. An ex­ change of gifts will take place also at the Shillelagh after which members will return to the club rooms for a program and social game of cards. Icy road conditions cause area crashes The Birr 1 “Needle Nan­ nies” have successfully completed yet another creative 4-H session, featur­ ing a specialized aspect of homemaking. This club was aimed at teaching the girls needlepoint skills. Everyone completed either a set of coasters or a pillow, and some chose to do a free choice article as well. The girls who completed this club are: Cathy McGregor, president; Krista White, vice- president; Tracy Vanderloo, treasurer; Lynda Vanderloo, press reporter, Gayle Lewis, Lorraine Lewis, Penny Hodgins, Sue Telford, Connie Vanderloo and Lisa Vanderloo. All the members of Birr 1 offer their congratulations to Krista White, who has earned her Provincial Honours, having completed * 12 4-HHomemaking Clubs. We also wish to thank our leaders, Marion White and Rhea Vanderloo for their never-ending help and en­ couragement. Each club, the girls of Birr 1, look forward to pool­ ing their talents and, never to be outdone, they always come out with a unique name, an appropriate cover and very entertaining presentation on Achieve­ ment Day. This time is no exception. They call themselves the Birr 1 “Needle Nannies”, and for their covers, along with their name in Old English lettering, each member has nepdlepointed a “nanny” who sits on the front of the book. For.Achievement day, it’s a skit entitled ‘’Let’s Bargello”, which promises to uphold the record of first- rate performances by the Club in previous projects. Yes sir, the Birr 1 “Needle Nannies” have certainly done it again. You are invited to attend Achieveme.1 P?y at Medway High School this Saturday, December 16, at 12:30 to support the girls and their leaders, from this area.
