Then we made invitations for our Achievement Night on Nov. 29 in the St. Columban Church basement at 7:30 pm. We also practiced making T.V. commercials about fruit and vegetables. Next, we went to the kitchen to make pizza! You could put on green peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, tomatoes, cheese, or red onions. Everyone ate their pizza while they watched people act out a fruit or vegetable T.V. commercial. Slabtown , Flurries paint three hearts and snowman BY KAREN MURRAY Six 4-11 members gathered together at the home of Joyce De Decker's on Friday night. The members are Sylvia De Decker, Stacy Burke, Melissa Deigel, Peggy McClure, Marion Visser and Karen Murray. We decided to call ourselves 'The Slabtown Flurries.' We read from our books and did a little paper work. The `Slabtown Flurries' met on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 12:30 pm at the home of Anne Murray. We painted three hearts and a snowman. We learned how to use a liner brush to write on the hearts. With a square brush, we learned how to shade the snowman. The meeting closed at 4:30. We all enjoyed the weekend. Thank you to our leaders. Walton bread baking club calls themselves 'Doughnuts' BY JANICE MC CALLUM The first meeting of the Walton bread -making 4-H club was held at the home of Dianne Baan on Oct. 23. When we arrived, the leaders, Dianne Baan and Darlene VandcrVeen, pinned a name of a type of bread on each member's back. Members were to name the type and ask fellow members questions. We opened the meeting with the 4-H pledge. Following the 4-11 pledge, the election of officers was held. The results are as follows: President, Jody VanderVeen; Vice President, Brandy Williamson; Secretary, Janet Brown; Press Reporter, Janice McCallum. We used playdough to learn how to knead bread. Then we started to mix ingredients together for a recipe called the 'whole wheat twist loaf'. We made raspberry and cinnamon honey butter. The butter and the bread were excellent. We closed the meeting by saying, 'learn to do by doing'. The second meeting of the Walton bread -making club was held at the home of Dianne Baan on Oct. 30. We started out by saying the 4-H pledge. Following the 4-H pledge, we listened to Janet Brown's written work by the secretary. All the members got together and thought of a name for the club. We're calling it the 'Doughnuts'. We read through the recipe for French bread and members took turns mixing it up. While the bread was cooking, the members talked about the achievement meeting. When the French bread was done cooking, we put garlic powder and cheese on it to make it into garlic bread. I though it was tasty and excellent. We closed the meeting by saying, 'learn to do by doing.' The next meeting will be held on Nov. 4 at the home of Dianne Baan from 1-5 pm. Final 'Facing the Future' session . soon Agricultural self-sufficiency and land stewardship will be the focus of discussion at the final session of the 'Facing the Future' series being held at Ontario Street United Church on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 pm. Five well known and respected agriculturalists will offer their views following each of the two video presentations to be shown that evening. George Thompson, Don Lobb, Arend Streutker and Jack Kroes will be the panellists for the discussion, and the facilitator will be Bob Humphries, from OMAFRA. Since Huron County is one of the most agriculturally productive areas in the world and food production of an overpopulated world is fast becoming critical, this is an event that those involved in agriculture won't want to miss. The video -discussion series, being presented by the Environment Committee of Ontario Street United Church, features video-taped interviews of author and theologian, John B. Cobb Jr., who with Herman Daly, an economist from the World Bank, wrote the book 'For the Common Good'.
