But not me. Instead I flew northwest to Thunder Bay. Of course. the Lakehead City is famous for its grain elevators and its boat yards. Although winter isn't the prime season for sightseeing. I discovered several beautiful tourist regions. The North Western Mountain range. which includes Mt. McKay. Mt. McRae and Mt. McQuaig. towers over the city. The slopes attract skiers from all parts of southern Ontario. Canadians from Alberta or British Columbia probably claim the range consists of Only large hills: to a Southwestern Ontario gal. those "hills" certainly look- ed like mountains. Near the peak of Mt. McKay. a look -out provides a breathtaking panormama of the city. --____Uoweve : -:-inter=s---reaeherous roads prevented ascension to that spot. I settled for a scenic post card instead. From the foot of Mt. McKay. the view of the lofty crags is dis- torted only by smoke from a pulp and paper mill. Another tourist attraction is Kakabeka Falls Located about nineteen miles west of Thunder Bay. Niagara Falls. it's not but Kakabeka possesses charms of its own. According to legend. Green a t11, � lit� � 4-H homemaking leaders attend two-day training conference Mantle, the beautiful daughter of an Ojibway Chief, was captured by her tribe's enemies, the Sioux. They forced her to lead them to the Ojibways. Instead she took them over the mighty Kakabeka Falls. where they were dashed to death on the rocks below. The spirit of Green Mantle still watches over Kakabeka Falls and at times takes form in the rock between the two cataracts. In early January. the Falls are usually suppressed by ice. When I toured the adjacent park. however. the water still surged over the rocky walls and the spray drifted to the top of the gorge. I couldn't discern the spirit of Green Mantle in the foaming torrent. though. Many of the Lakehead souvenir shops closed after Christmas. One afternoon I browsed through an Indian Friendship Centre. in which crafts were displayed. ----Miniature- -teepees-and- canoes. animal figures carved from wood. beaded necklaces and bags. and warm. furry moc- casins caught my eye. I could have spent the whole week wandering through shop- ping plazas. With a population of only 108.000. the city boasts a surprisingly large number of malls. Nevertheless I discovered no bargains. The amalgamation of two cities creates an interesting combination.

During my stay in Thunder Bay the residents marveled at the calm. mild winter: Rain fell instead of snow. The weather remained subdued until the day I was scheduled to leave. Then the thermometer plunged to ten degrees below zero. With the wind chill factor. the temperature felt like minus twenty-five degrees. Every street became a hockey rink. My visit would have been in- complete without a sample of the Lakehead City's authentic winter. The part of my trip i remember most vividly is the people I n^:t. Everyone was friendly and courteous.

In Huron County the 4-11 homemaking club for the spring is just getting underway and the project this time is "What shall I wear?" The girls, about 1,300 in all will be learning techniques of choosing and co-ordinating a wardrobe that will suit them- selves, the occasion and their budgets. This week the leaders of the south Huron 4-11 clubs held organizational meetings and training sessions in Exeter and Iiensall under the direction of Jane Pengilly. Horne Economist and Susan Wheatley, former Home Economist. The ladies in charge of the clubs for this season number approximately 205 and are responsible for the direction and organization of the girls clubs. At the sessions held in the United Church in Exeter, leaders from Hurondale, Elimville. Dashwood and other local groups . met to learn the methods of teaching and the subject -matter involved in the project "What shall 1 wear''" Elonie Economist Jane Pengilly describes the club as an op- portunity for the girls to get in- volved in community activity while making the young girls more aware of some of the basic homemaking skills. "It also gives them an opportunity for friend- ship and socializing with other club members" she added. The projects include. cooking or foods, sewing and craft works during their sessions in the fall and the spring of each year. Jane Pengilly said that some girls participate in all of the club projects, working towards county or provincial honour standings and other girls choose to par- ticipate only in a few club projects that interest them most. This summer there will also be a Garden club during the sum- mer. These clubs have not been operating since 1965, so, says Miss Pengilly "it should be a real treat." At the training sessions, the ladies cover the whole eight week meeting sessions in two days. The courses are co-ordinated so that all clubs in Huron County are doing the same jhing. In "What sha l I wear?" the girls will learn to choose the proper style of clothing to suit her shape and size, to choose flat- tering lines and colors that ac- cent her features. - The girls will learn co- ordination of wardrobes to get the most out of the clothes she has and they will also make a blouse that will go well with outfits that. are already in her wardrobe.
