4-H sewers do bookwork
If the weather isn't hot enough for
you people out there, then I suggest
you just step inside your own oven
as that is pretty much how it has felt
this past week. But at least Wayne
and I have been getting out and
about enjoying tremendous
barbecues and wonderful company.
I would like to send get-well
wishes to Jean Plaetzer of Blyth.
Jean has been in Stratford hospital
for over a week now and is showing
some improvement. With lots of
grandchildren around to cheer her up
on Sunday, husband Lawrence
thought she had perked up a bit.
I would like to add the best wishes
of the entire community to those
already received along with a
heartfelt get-well soon from all your
friends at the Women's Institute
throughout the entire Huron West
District.
My apologies for getting my
Cartwrights confused last week.
Kelsy Cartwright, of London, is
granddaughter of Grace and Jim
Cartwright of Auburn (not Erma and
Don as stated last week). Kelsy
made her way onto the honour roll
and received the Language Award,
as well as the Citizenship Award.
Kelsy celebrates her birthday July
31.
Congratulations to Kelsy on her
birthday and her great achievements.
Pet Pals

touring
The third meeting of the Pet Pals
was held on Friday, July 14.
Members met at June Robinson's at
6:45 p.m. to leave for Higgins.
Mary Kate showed the club her
snail, Gary, the algae eater in her
aquarium and how she set up her
aquarium.
Meagan and Melissa explained
how they took care of their lambs.
One of their lambs got pneumonia
and they had to treat it with a shot.
The club then travelled to Jillian
Martin's. Jillian displayed her rabbit
Fufu's habitat and described what
grooming was necessary for a
rabbit. Unfortunately Fufu had
gotten out of her cage earlier and
could not be found.
The group drove to Sarah Steele's
to see Sarah's dog, Riley. Riley has
mites that makes her lose hair. Sarah
explained what medicine Riley had
to take to get rid of the mites.
Next they travelled to Joscelin
Andrew's. Joscelin presented her
golden retriever, Max and
demonstrated how she groomed him
and the tricks he knew.
Jessie Walton showed her shih
tzu, Rollo.
The club then went to the
Jefferson home. Maisy and Sophie
displayed their dog, Pepper and
showed off the tricks she could
perform.
Reba showed her cat, Cleatus and
explained what she fed him.
Ellen presented her cat, Darrel
and the scratching post she made for
him.
The fourth meeting of the

were present then played Categories
which was led by Sophie and Ellen
Jefferson.
The meeting started with the
pledge and roll call.
Using a sheet, the club matched
the names of different parts of a
pattern, then did some review
questions.
The leaders explained that this
meeting would be mostly bookwork
and sitting down instead of sewing.
Seam finishes were the first topic for
discussion, followed by interfacing,
bias and stretch. Heather Boyle then
reviewed the terms used.
For the next meeting the members
are to bring buttons, hook-and-eye
closures and three different kinds of
fabric.

The sixth meeting of the 4-H
Garden Gals Horticulture Club was
held July 24 at 9 a.m.
The members caught up their
books from the garden tour meetings
after the pledge and roll call were
taken care of.
Following this, the members split
into group. Some members had a
turn at arranging flowers with advice
from June Robinson; others learned
about displaying vegetables from
Mary Ellen Foran. Sophie Jefferson
heard reasons from members who
had judged baskets at her station.
After the members had completed
each of the stations, Mary Ellen
FROM AUBURN
explained that what they had learned
would be useful at the achievement
program in Lucknow.
The members then reviewed what
they had learned by playing
Jeopardy with Alex (aka Sophie
Jefferson).
The meeting was closed with the
motto.
The achievement program is on
Aug. 9 at the Lucknow horticultural
tea. All members are to enter at least
one item.
