HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-04-08, Page 25FINAL MIXED BONSPIEL — A rink skipped by King McDonald won the first draw of Saturday's final mixed of the season. Above, convener Murray Davison presents prizes to King and Audrey McDonald and Jim Inexpensive Crafts specialists from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food suggest the following inex- pensive ways to decorate eggs for Easter. First, choose eggs with smooth. strong shells, to help avoid breakage. One of the oldest decorating techniques, originating in the Ukraine. is called Pysanky. Supplies needed are: a raw egg, wax, a stylus (a long -handled instrument with a cup at one end to hold the hot wax. and a fine spout), and dyes. The most popular colors are yellow, orange. red and black. To begin decorating, make a wax design on the eggshell and then dip it into the lightest dye (yellow). When dry, continue the waxing and dyeing process, rising a darker color each time; black should be the final dye. To remove the wax after the dyeing process is completed, place the egg in the oven at a low temperature (200 degrees F or 100 degrees C). When the wax is soft, wipe it off with paper towelling. Finally. to help preserve the design. cover the egg with several layers of varnish or a plastic coating. Another egg decorating technique. originating in France, is becoming pop- ular. You'll need fine scissors to cut the shell, ends of fabric and trim, figurines New program at Conestoga Conestoga College is of- fering a new program for people who are trying to decide on a career or who want to change their present career. "There is no other program like it in Western Ontario," according to Lisa Avedon, Coordinator of the new Career Orien- tation Action Program. Its purpose is threefold: to give people insight into what they want to do and what they are capable of; to give them information about oc- cupations; and to help them to search for Jobs. "Many people are unhappy with their work because they either just 'fell into it' or they made decisions which turned out to be unsuitable for them," comments Ms. Avedon about potential students who will find the program helpful. "Another reason for wanting to change is the need to look for a better -paying Job." Students spend three to four weeks in the program and are led through a number of steps. These in- clude: looking at their in- terests and capabilities; on- site job observation; and studying information on what in required to enter jobs, including the required training. When students decide on their vocational goals, they can go directly into Jobs providing they meet the entry requirements; they can remain in the Career Orientation Action Program to upgrade their job search skills; or they can enter other learning programs to gain the skills required for their chosen vocations. The program, which can accommodate both part and full-time students, is open to anyone 19 years of age or older who is interested in making career decisions. The Career Orien- tation Action Program operates at the Waterloo Campus of Conestoga College, 435 King St. N. Applications are available from any Conestoga Cam- pus. Information can be obtained by contacting Lisa Avedon at 885-0300, Ext. 37. and paint. To begin, poke a hole in each end of the egg to drain the contents, and then clean the shell thoroughly. Draw a large oval on the side of the shell, cut along the line carefully, and then using household cement, at- tach the cut out portion to act as a door. When dry, coat the shell with layers of plastic finish for protection, then paint a scene or any design on the outside. Create a design or a scene using curling bonspiel and Liz Bell. Easter eggs figurines and paint inside the shell, and give it a finished look by glueing decorative trim around the opening. An easier, less time- consuming way to decorate is to first hard -boil the egg. Gather small pictures from magazines, wrapping paper or other sources, and adhere them to the eggshell using a non-toxic glue. For the best results, use fine paper which flattens on the shell more easily .-than thicker paper. Plan for achievement The current 4-H homemaking cThb, "Get Ready, Get Set, Sew" is fast coming to an end. Hurondale VI held its last meeting Monday, at the home of Barb Passmore. All seven members answered the roll call which was to tell what other pieces in their war- drobe coordinated with the vest or skirt which they have constructed as part of this project. A discussion of the achievement program was held as well. There will be a fashion show in which the 4- H members can show off their new Easter outfits. Hurondale VI is preparing an exhibit entitled "Finishing' it 'Right." This includes several types of seam finishes. The focus of this project has been on basic sewing techniques, required for the construction of a vest or r skirt. These techniques are not only useful for this 4-H project but will be useful for future sewing projects. Samples completed were applying a lapped zipper, finishing an edge with bias tape, sewing a dart, sewing a handstitched hem and apply- ing an extended facing. The members of Huron - dale VI are Chris Coates, Margi Chaffe, Marlene Winters, Dianne, Sharon and Mary Lou Rundle, and Don- na Prout. their leaders are Barb Passmore and Wendy Kerslake. Everyone is welcome to the achievement program which will be held April 28 at 7:00 at Exeter Public School. There will be educational, interesting, and often humourous skits, exhibits and demonstrations. A fashion parade of the new garments will also be held. Plan to attend! Tiny leaves. and flowers can also be attractive on the eggshell. Use non-toxic felt pens for additional designs, or names. Decorate eggs for your house this Easter using these ideas, or experiment with your own. Times -Advocate, April 8, 1981 Page 9A Maybe no one can help Byron Beeler, executive vice-president of Ciba Geigy Seeds Ltd. of Ailsa Craig posed a number of questions to Saturday's session of the Ontario Institute of AgrologiFts meeting at Cen- tralia College. In saying some of the power granted by Marketing Board legislation is hard to believe in this day and age, Beller asked how many members of OIA have ever fully read the legislation for any crop or commodity in Ontario? Beeler continued, is the term 'Marketing Board' the correct name for the ac- tivities of many of the Boards in existence today?" How do we address the problem of beef producers in Ontario? A Provincial Board is not the answer, a National Vanastra offers course in fitness There will be a Fitness Ontario Leadership Program offered soon to the residents of this area; it is sponsored by Vanastra Recreation Centre and the Ministry of Culture and Recreation.

Board might be - But are not we in 'a North American Market+\ Can we overcome the consumer's attitude that beef prices are too high? It seems strange that the consumer will pay $1.59 a pound for imported tomatoes and find $3. beef expensive! Is agriculture getting a bad image through bad media reporting? In a recent London Free Press story, food processor says that Farmer Marketing Boards are a ripoff to the consumer who pays for turkey farmer inefficien- cies. Is there a new way to think, act, promote, sell any and all agricultural products? The Conference should be addressing these issues so that, hopefully, a system which is fair; reasonable for all segments of the food chain - from farmer to consumer are well served.
