Wreaths say welcome
A wreath at Christmas
welcomes your guests to
your home. If your family
visits a tree farm or a lot to
select a Christmas tree, why
not purchase additional
evergreens and pine cones
this year to make a wreath.
The supplies required can be
few but the variations of
wreaths are numerous, say
crafts specialists with the
Home Economics Branch,
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
A basic wreath will need a
base or frame. Craft supply
stores carry wire frames in
various sizes. There
generally an outside ring,
two middle rings and an
inside ring. Naturally straw
wreaths are now available in
various sizes. Fine florists'
wire, wired wooden floral
picks, holly or mistletoe
leaves and berries, and bows
are other supplies that you
may need.
To make a basic wreath
with evergreens and pine
cones, break the large
evergreen branch into
smaller branches. These
branches can be wired to the
basic frame to cover it
completely. Wire the pine
cones in groups, then attach
to the frame by inserting the
wire through the evergreen
around one of the rings. To
wire a pine one. wrap
florists' wire around the
bottom of the cone, leaving
enough wire to wrap around
the frame. For added
decoration, paint the tops of
the pine cones with silver or
gold paint, then dip in glitter.
A large bow can be added at
the top or bottom to finish
your wreath. To hang,
simply take a loop with
heavier gauge florists' wire
or a coat hanger and attach
securely at the top.
Pine cone wreaths require
a good supply of cones to
cover the frame completely
(depending on the size of
your wreath) . Wire the cones
around the outside ring first,
then towards the center. Use
assorted sizes and shapes as
you go.
Larger cones can be ct4t in
two to resemble flowers.
Place wire clippers around
the middle of the cone and
squeeze; you may have to
make three or four cuts.
Wire the bottom end of the
cones and include these with
your regular cones. Add a
bow and holly to finish your
wreath.
If you are using a straw
wreath, use wooden wired
floral picks to wire the
bottom of the cone and then
push the picks into the
wreaths. Bows, tree or-
naments, straw flowers,
dried baby's breath. spices

(such as cinnamon sticks,
lavender, rosemary) can be
wired to picks then added to
your wreath. A little dab of
glue on the bottom of your
spices, herbs or ornaments
will help hold them in place.
Make a wreath this
Christmas. When you
decorate your tree, put aside
a few decorations for your
wreath and have fun with the
family making an original
wreath for your home. It
may become part of your
Christmas tradition.
Block idea
is outlined
November 6 at the home of
Penny Dinney Xi Gamma
Nu Sorority held their
meeting. During the general
discussion the council
members gave details of the
last meeting and motions
were made on several of
these. Founders Day plans
were mentioned as well.
The programme for the
evening was a detailed
discussion of the Block
Parent programme. Kevin
Short of the Exeter police
department presented a
film and encouraged the
group in their plans to
sponsor the programme. A
committee was then set up to
work on this project.
Following this lunch was
served by Jo Anne Bowen.
November 20 Jo Anne
Bowen was hostess to the
Chapter. A pledge ritual
was performed and new
members Linda Johns and
Joy Kerslake were
welcomed to the chapter.
A general meeting
followed and plans were
finalized for the Christmas
progressive dinner. The
Christmas auction is to be
held December 5 with the
secret sister exchange that
evening as well.
Mary Jane MacDougall
stated that Xi Gamma Nu
has been registered with the
Ontario Safety Council as
sponsors of the Block Parent
programme and also that the
Exeter Kinette club are
going to assist the chapter in
setting up the programme.
The topic "I am Indian"
was presented by Bonnie
Brooke and Heather Rogers
and all learned a little more
of our heritage.

A key to warmth is proper clothing
With winter fast
approaching, many people
will be wondering how they
can turn the thermostat
down to cut fuel costs, and
still kess reasonably in-
doors.
The key to keeping warm,
say the clothing specialists
with the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, is to
trap body heat in the air
between layers of clothing.
Still air between clothes act
as an insulator. Body heat
stays in, cold air stays out,
and you stay warm.
Several lightweight loose
layers of clothing will keep
you warmer than one heavy
layer because of the air
trapped between them. The
layer next to the skin should
be soft and absorbent. A
knitted cotton or wool fabric
would be ideal. The
remaining layers should be
of more tightly woven fabric
preferably with a thick,
spongy or fluffy surface.
The design of clothing has
some bearing on its warmth.
Since heat rises, it is
necessary to trap the warm
air around the waist,
shoulders, and face. Gar-
ments should fit closely
around the neck and wrists.
Hooded garments are good,
as are ones which are cin-
ched or tucked in at the
waist. A pair of pile or foam -
lined slippers will keep your
feet warm.
Also, some articles of
clothing are warmer than
others. Pants are warmer
than skirts, boots are war-
mer than shoes, a tucked -in
blouse or skirt is warmer
than a dress that hangs
loose. Lined garments are
generally warmer than
unlined ones. Even ac-
cessories like ties and
scarves can add a layer of
warmth.
With some careful plan -
Building
