halfway to campaign goal
The first United Way Campaign
in Huron, launched in early
November, is nearly half-way to its
$100,000 goal. During this time,
some of the 17 agencies have
received word of cuts in govern
ment funding, making the need for
money from other sources more
urgent.
Campaign development worker,
Glen Sauve of Blyth notes that
“response has been excellent where
ever allowed in to conduct a full
campaign, or where represented by
good, active canvassers.” He went
on to say people are prepared to
respond if given the opportunity.

Majestic WI
holds Christmas
dinner
A pot luck meal was how the
Majestic Women's Institute opened
their meeting on December 11 with
twenty-three ladies attending.
Hostessing the meal were Verna
Tunney, Kate Wilson and Leona
Connelley. Alice Brothers and
Freda Pipe played lovely duets on
the piano prior to the opening of
the meeting.
President Leona Armstrong
opened the meeting with a poem,
“A Gift For You”.
In the correspondence was an
invitation to Gorrie's 90th Anniver
sary on January 15 from 2 to 4 p.m.
A discussion was held on the child
care survey with members agreeing
that the rules and regulations
should be different from city to
rural.
Twenty new inserts are to be
ordered for the blue handbooks.
The committee in charge of the
January 7 card party is Yvonne
Knight, Margaret MacLeod, Doris
McCall and Marie McTaggart.
The shut-in boxes were to be
packed Monday, Dec. 16 at the
Senior Citizens in the Common
room at 10 a.m. Roll call was a
three dollar donation to underprivi
leged children instead of a gift
exchange.
Once again, Alice Brothers and
Freda Pipe entertained by playing
the piano. Jane De Vries read a
story of an orphaned girl who had
only a grandmother as family and
how even without money you have
many gifts to offer.
Margaret MacLeod lead the
members in a sing-song. She sang a
few songs solo with her delightful
voice. Leona Connelley played
Santa by handing out the gifts from
Secret Sunshine Sisters. Happy
Birthday was sung to members.
The members adjourned by
singing, “We Wish You a Merry
Christmas” to each other.
Next meeting will be January 8 at
2 p.m. in the Brussels Library.

larger-than-expected mail-back
response.
The generosity of industrial
workers has been especially heart
ening. Cook's Ltd. was first of the
mark, doubling its target. Initial
reports from three of the 17 can
vassers at Champion Machinery of
Goderich show that company has
already reached one-quarter of its
goal. The Bruce Nuclear Power
Plant, where Huron County resi
dents account for between 30-40
per cent of employees, is accepting
payroll deduction for the Huron
United Way.
Some industries have asked per
mission to conduct their campaign
in January 1992 appeal, in order to
do a proper job.
Although all results are not yet
in, donations from the professional
and educational groups are less
than originally hoped for.
Staff from the Huron United Way
office in Clinton have talked to ser
vice clubs and appeared in Santa
Claus parades, opening the door to
the retail business campaigns which
are continuing in urban areas.
Ethel 4H club meets
BY WANDA MARTIN
The fifth meeting of the Ethel
Milk Mates was held at Barb Mart
in's on November 23.
After the pledge, members set up
and began to make homemade ice
cream then everybody followed
Mrs. Martin out to the dairy bam
for a tour. When they went back to
the house, the members read out of
their books and did some book
work. The members also listened to
a presentation led by Ann Uhler,
youth leader.
Soon it was time to eat. There
was a wide variety of ice cream to
choose from including an orange
sherbet. It was moolicious!
