4-H Detectives meet
By Jody Godfrey
The Auburn Detectives II met
again at leader Helen Lapp's house.
We started the meeting with the 4-
H pledge, then voted on pictures
for a book title.
Vice-President Christine Lapp
showed us how to make paper with
a blender. After that we went
outside and played with a bouncey
ball.
We got a snack of brownies and
juice from Joan Goodall. They
were so delicious, everybody had at
least three or four brownies.
Then we closed with the 4-H
motto.
Club members are: Samantha
Gibson, Jody Godfrey, Matthew
Goodall, Robert Goodall, Hanah
Huizinga, Mary Huizinga, Cheryl
Lapp, Christine Lapp.
On Thursday, April 3 we held
our fourth 4-H meeting at the home
of Helen Lapp.
We opened the meeting with the
4-H pledge. We were given time to
work on our books at the beginning
of the meeting.
We talked about the different
languages around the world, and
how we communicate to each
other, other than speaking. Some of
the languages we discussed were
French, Spanish, German, Russian
and of course English. We also
roars in
Emmrick, Walton, 80cc beginner;

learned about Morse Code and sign
language.
Next week we are going to visit
the vet clinic and we were asked to
think of a few questions to ask.
We closed the meeting with the
4-H motto.
The Auburn 4-H club, The
Detectives II, went to the Blyth
vets. We all thought it was very
interesting. We also got to check
heart beats and temperatures and
tried to give a needle, but not to a
real animal.
We all thf<nked the vet. We saw
the equipment they use and the
important things there.
We realize that they are just like
a doctor and are needed. They do a
great job.

UCW hears of elderhostels
Joyce Bean welcomed the UCW
to her home on April 16 at 8 p.m.
with an excellent attendance. Joyce
opened the meeting and the hymn
For The Beauty of the Earth was
sung. Joan Dougherty followed
with a modem translation of Psalm
104.
Mrs. Dougherty, Joyce's mother,
was the guest speaker. She spoke
on Elderhostels which started in
1975. Just what are they? They are
where people can learn and have
social activity at a reasonable price.
Where are they? Everywhere, here
and in 50 foreign countries from
Iceland, south. Who can go? -
retirees and now some who are
retiring earlier. Place - at colleges,
universities and religious centres.
People are responsible for their
own transportation there.
One of the laws is to be on time
for meals, so take an alarm clock.
She spoke of several places,
particularly Killamey Mt. Lodge, a
beautiful location. There are six to
12-day courses and even some
three to four week ones at various
locations. At night there is
entertainment and Thursday night
is an Elderhostel special night.
Of course, you must apply for
desired course. There are all types
for either nature lovers or craft-
minded people.
She told of various courses and
adventures that she has had. Her
family are all nature lovers so
favoured skiing and canoeing. She
spoke of sailing on a sloop in very
rough waters, of hiking and
climbing rocky cliffs. At one place
they heard or saw coyotes and
bears.
It was a very humorous and
worthwhile speech. The UCW
showed their appreciation.
Joyce then conducted a contest
on the solar system. Members
learned a great deal about the
various planets, like the fact Pluto
is the smallest and coldest and
Jupiter is the solar giant - bigger
than all the others together. Mars is
the one that may support some
form of life.
She continued by speaking of the
new and very visible comet in the
sky - the Hale-Bopp comet. It is
of the firm of

CRAWFORD, MILL & DAVIES
has offices In Wing ham, Brussels, Ripley and Gorrle
made of ice, dust and rocks. Its
nearness to the sun creates its blue
like tail.
She spoke of the massacre that
took place because the cult thought
that the end of the world was near.
She closed with a recent report by
Allen Hale, one of the discoverers
of the comet, who stated that'
ignorance and superstition causes
this end-of-the-world feeling. He
stated that the comet is not
connected with evil but glory. Live
and enjoy it. Build a new world.
Joyce closed with prayer.
The business meeting began.
Grace Cartwright gave her card
report and read thank you letters.
