WI talks of world’s children PEOPLE AROUND
WALTON
Wednesday evening, May 17 the
Walton Women’s Institute met in the
Walton Hall with 10 ladies present.
Gary Jewitt, as guest speaker told of
Sleeping Children around the World,
an organization founded in 1970 by
Margaret and Murray Dryden. Mr.
Jewitt, a retired teacher who lives in
Clinton, is a SCAW volunteer
raising funds to provide bed kits to
children in 31 countries such as
Ecuador, Honduras, Columbia,
Panama, Thailand, India,
Bangladesh and the Philippines.
Each kit does vary from country to
country depending on local needs,
but usually consists of a ground
sheet, mattress, sheets, blanket or
mosquito netting, pajamas, sweater
or other clothing and personal care
needs. All bed kits are made in
countries where they are distributed,
which cuts down on the
transportation costs and is
employment for families in that
country.

Everyday tips for back protection 1
1. While raking, hoeing, mopping or
vacuuming, always work with the
tool close to your body. Never use
a giant reach.
2. Sit down to dress your feet. Don’t
try to balance on one foot while
tugging on a sock or shoe.
3. Avoid activities that cause you to
arch backwards beyond a gentle
and comfortable pull.
4. If you feel a big sneeze or
strenuous cough coining on, round
your back and bend your knees to
absorb it.

5. If travelling long distances by
car, train, or plane, find something
to elevate one foot higher than
the other.
6. Include one or two back stretches
in your daily routine.

The hottest day was 34°C. She said
that they really didn’t notice the heat
because of the ocean breeze that was
always there.
The people are incredibly friendly
and all try to be helpful. The service
at the -resort was excellent. They
asked their waiter how much money
he makes and he said that for six 12-
hour days he makes $80 U.S.
One day while Evelyn was getting
her hair done up in beads, Steve
rented a scooter and decided to go on
a little tour of the town. He was
driving on this one street and people
were waving like crazy to him. He
thought, ‘Gee, these people are so
friendly down here’.
Well at the end of the street a
policeman stopped him and called
him a ‘White Devil!’ Apparently
Steve was going the wrong direction
on a one-way street. It happens a lot
since all the signs are in Spanish.
They had a great time and said that
they would go back there in a minute
if they could.
