Monday night that the -parish through the

Lorne Farrish, Ed Watson and Walter
:Alcon were in charge of registration.' The
first 500 ladies each day received a Home
Hardware shopping bag. There were regi-
strations from many parts of Ontario: Those
t:rom a distance included British Columbia,
Alberta, Manitoba, New Mexico, England,
France. Holland, Switzerland, Texas, Nova
Scotia, Michigan, Arizona and Rapid City.
At closing time the president of the
Lucknow Agricultural Society, Lorne Hack-
ett, called on Sherri Jerome, Miss Lucknow
Fair, to make the draws for the major prizes;
t 1) Mrs. June Gilchrist, R. 5 Lucknow won
an afghan made and donated by Mrs. E1ajne
Errington; (2) Barbara Rodgerson of Wil-
Iowdale won a wicker fernery made by Bob
McMurray of London; (3) Mrs: Ellen Evans
of Whitechurch won a wicker clothes
hamper, also made by Bob.
The Lucknow Agricultural Society would
like to remark about the honest people in
Lucknow. A wallet, set of keys and sweater
were all returned to their owners,
expected of sponsors.
Canadians who sponsor • refugees are
responsible for them until they become
self-reliant up to a maximum of one year.
But, as .Father Hardy pointed out, the
sponsor's .association with the refugees will
continue oast one year.
These people want someone to form ties of
sympathy and concern with them, said Brian
ven Hove. They need human contact,as well
as material necessities.
It would be a most "un -Christian"
attitude to assume the parish will only
provide housing, a job and language training
and then` attheend of a year consider their
responsibility has ended, said Fatter Hardy..
He also pointed out there will.. inevitably
be ,a backlash several months from now,.
when some Canadians will blame the
refugees for . Canada's problems. We're
going to hear, `those Asian refugees, are
taking all the jobs', or some similar
comments said Hardy/and we are going to
have to be prepared for this type of attitude.

About 20 children participated in the
Children's Craft Caravan workshop, spon-
sored by the Kinloss Recreation Committee
at the Kinloss Township Hall on Wednes-
day, August 1.
Co-ordinated through the auspices of the
Grey -Bruce Arts Council, a municipality can
sponsor a day of crafts for children at a cost
of $35 :plus travelling expenses for the
instructors. The municipality also provides a
location for the caravan where there is
access to electrical outlets and water.
"The caravan is a real opportunity for
children to learn about art," says Anne
Nicolson of the Kinloss Recreation Commit-
tee.
"For some children who spend the whole
summer on the farm it is good to have
association with other children as well," she
adds. •
The children dick clay casting on Wednes-
day with the assistance. of three instructors
from the Arts Council; Linda Bethiaume,
Mar)C Hazen and Anita Roocroft.
The workshops also provide instruction in
sand casting, candle making; macrame and
beadwork, tie-dye, and batick, drawing,
painting and paperworks.
Kinloss sponsored only one workshop this
summer but Anne is hoping they will be able
to sponsor more days next year. And she
isn't the only one. The children who enjoyed
Wednesday's session hope there will be
more days next summer, too.
