Rug braider reve als her secrets
By Debbie Ranney
Although she has some
;difficulty in seeing and walk-
ing. 90 year old Mrs. Edward
(Gertrude) Sauve, a resident
of the Callander Nursing
Home in Brussels still has
nimble fingers* which have
been braiding mats' for at
least 80 years. if not longer.
Mrs, Sauve's mother
taught her daughter the craft
when she was just a small
child and today, resident's
from Toronto, Renfrew,
Sudbury and Brussels are
just some of the ,Owners of
her handiwork.
To braid mats, Mrs. Sauve
says, she gets material, some
of it new and some of it old
(material from pants and
dresses). (The new pieces
are the stretchy pieces that
can be put in quiffs.) Then
she cuts the material in
strips. The fine material has
to be -cut wider than the
heavy material and then she
braids it from the short braid,
and laces the material
together with heavy cotton,
thread or cord.
Construction of a students'
residence in Huron Park will
be marked by an official
sod-turning ceremony to
which the public is invited. It.
'will take_place on the project
site • at 11 a.m., Monday;
An enjoyable evening was
spent in the new fire ball
Tu esday night, at a party
for fireman George Mutter
and his wife Aileen, who
have moved to their new
home in Listowel.
Progressive euchre was
played followed by a smorg-
asboard dinner and barb-
ecued pork chops.
Fire ,chief Dave Hasting
presented them with a gift on
behalf of the firemen and
indicated how much they will
be missed in the fire -depart-

She said that when she
,moved to Brussels. from
Sudbury she counted how
many of the mats. she had.
made and when she got to
100 she quit..
Sauve gave her mats
to friends and relatives and
doesn't display them at any
shows in Brussels. although.
she once did when she lived
in Massey,.
Mrs. Sauve was born in
Westmeath, which is about
six miles from Pembroke but
she never got to know2her
father who was drowned
shortly after her birth.
Her father worked on glow
boat called the C.B. Powell
which. towed logs and put
them through the rapids.
One day the C.B. Powell was
docked at an island and Mrs.
Sauve's father went swim-
ming near the hull of a boat
that was burned there, and
that's where he drowned.
• Her mother was marfied
three times and• had seven
children altogether. Mrs.
Sauve stayed at home until
she went to work in Ottawa
September 11, 1978.
The students' residence;
to be located on the campus
of the Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology,
Highway #4, will provide
ment and in Brussels.
her aunt and her husband
followed later and died there
in the spring of 1971.
Although she lived
through the era of cars,
radios and television, the
Sauves didn't have a car and
although they did have radio
and TV, Mrs, Sauve didn't
think too much about them.
She saw thern as just a
pass-time.
Mrs. Sauve has two boys,
one of whom--Clayton, is also
living in Brussels. Her other
son, Archie, lives in Walford
(near Thessalon).
She moved from Massey to.
Sudbury to stay with her son
Clayton and then the Sauves
moved to Brussels about five
or six years ago.
Besides her interest in
braiding mats, Mrs. Sauve
was an avid gardener who
showed. her flowers at the
fair in Massey, but now, due
to her eyes and arthritis, she
no longer does any
gardening.
Although she reached her
90th birthday on July 28,
Mrs. Sauve doesn't know the
secret fora long life or if she
does, she's not telling.
\there she met her husband
Edward. They stayed in
Ottawa for awhile, then
moved to the Bruce Mines
where her husband worked-
on the 'railroad as a section
.iman. From there they moved
to Port coldwell. Mrs. Sauve
then had. to move to Massey
.(near Espanola) to look after
Mrs. Gertrude Sauve
