The event, beginning the 100th Anniversary year of the Church building, saw 208 quilts on display. In- cluded were quilts made over 100 years ago. Old, curved, footboard bed quilts, very old woolen. satin, or velvet embroidered patchwork quilts, "pieced quilts in what seemed like endless designs and patterns and col- ours, the very beautiful appliqued quilts with their hundreds of pieces as well as the very delicate embroidered patterns, spread quilts with their myriad stitches in beautiful quilted •-�; designs right up to the modern day waterbed quilt. • One full room of different '�. autographed quilts attracted a lot of interest. In different designs and pat- terns, they dated from the first world war to the new Hensall United Church 1986 Centennial quilt. The Baby Crib room was of interest not only to the young mothers and fathers but also to grandma as the many designs from bears to dogs to the little old Dutch Girl and Boy were on display. The dining room, also decorated with a number of quilts, was full of chit-chat as people met over a cup of tea, biscuits and apple -butter and reminisced about their quilting ex- periences ovgr the past years which the different quilts they had just view- ed hrought back. During the day the visitors were able to get a first hand glimpse of quilting with the ladies of the church quilting on a beautiful Fan Design quilt at Grandma's Quilting Party. General chairperson for the event was Beiva Fuss, with Mona Alderdice in charge of th .quilt display, Hazel Corbett in chargeof the door, Evelyn Flynn in charge of the dining -room and kitchen and Margaret Cole in charge of the quilting bee.

Hensall seniors enjoy activities 1 imes-Ad1toCOht, March 26, 1966 Page 15 Future growth d priority Hensall's future growth and development is a major priority of both Heiman council and members of the business community. Several Ways to tackle the twin problems of attracting new industrial and retail enterprises, and providing more hous- ing for potential, residents, are being considered. Economic Development Committee chairman Inge Mowat made a presentation (0 the March meeting of Hensall council on the benefits to be derived from hiring her as a part- time development officer to coor- dinate the efforts of council, the EDC and the BIA. No one group could afford the hire such a person on their own, she pointed out, but her expertise and assistance would be available to all, as many of the projects and goals of the three groups overlap. Mowat envisioned a mix of good public relations and salesmanship to promote the industrial, commercial and residential potential of the village of Hensall. On March 18 members of Council and the Economic Development Com- mitte heard a presentation by Kim Ainslie on the subject of economic development. Ainslie is the principal consultant with Nordex ' Group, management consultants from Lon- don. Nordex Group has extensive ex- perience in municipal management and economic development, and the purpose of the presentation was to ac- quaint the Village of Hensall with the company and its capabilities as they might relateto the village's economic development plans. During his 45 -minute presentation, Ainslie provided the group with an overview of his company and its in- ternal structure, explaining that they work hand in hand with Proctor Redfern as well as a Lcfndon-based advertising agency on projects of this nature, and he distributed a typed summary of some of the areas in which he feels Nordex Group could be of service to Hensall. He explained that Nordex would be prepared to be very flexible in any working arrangement with the Village - that is, they would work on a per diem, per project ot annual re- tainer basis.

At the conclusion a hill presenta- tion, Ainslie answered questions from the group, and lit it with a rather comprehensive picture of the va>fjous elements to be considered in economic development programs, some good ideas of how to set about determining paths and goals for these programs, and some effective marketing strategies that might be implemented to achieve the stated goals. As an example of cost, Ainslie said the charge for carrying out a municipal marketing plan and ser- vices could range between $1,000 and $5,000, based on a per diem charge of approximately $350, plus extra for "legwork". The charge for a special project could be as high as $500 per day. No BIA members were present to hear the Ainslee presentation. Twen- ty were on hand at the bi-monthly BIA dinner meeting on March 19 to listen to Mowat, who offered her services as a part-time development officer to act for the BIA, the economic develop- ment committee and council on a part-time basis. Among her sugges- tions were a monthly newsletter to be circulated among BIA members, and contact and exchange of ideas with other BIAs.
