Staffa Women's Institute
hosts safety meeting
By Roberta Templeman
STAFFA - Roberta Templeman hosted the safety
meeting of the Staffa Women's Institute at her home
on Wednesday evening, November 27, with 12
members and one visitor present.
Guest speaker for the evening was Betty Boyce,
Sebringville, the Safety representative for the Perth
South District.
Betty showed two short videos, one on explosive
material and the second on "Proper Use of Pesti-
cides". Both were very informative. Betty also con-
ducted a contest on danger symbols, and similar, but
different liquids (one harmful, one harmless). Verl6
Mahon received a mug for being the most knowl-
edgeable member present. Betty also had several ex-
cellent handouts and stickers for those present. She
was introduced by Roberta and thanked by Joyce
Vivian.
Roberta opened the meeting with a poem on Time
and the Mary Stewart Collect. Roll call was an-
swered by telling what would be the first thing you
would save from a burning house.
President Joyce Vivian presided for the business
when minutes and correspondence was read by the
assistant secretary Esther Smale.
Esther volunteered to assist Grace Kerslake on
the nominating committee.
It was a motion that members donate money in-
stead of sending cards at the Christmas meeting,
this to be donated to the Perth County Children's
Aid.
Freda Kerslake reported on the recent 4-H
achievement night in Mitchell. She said Staffa #1
club led by Freda and Doris Jeffery, had 21 mem-
bers completing the last club.
The December meeting was reviewed with Circle
I, the planners and Vet -16 Mahon hosting. Joyce ad-
journed the meeting afterwhich refreshments were
served by Doris Miller and Joyce Miller.
Cromarty
The Cromarty Ladies Aid held their annual meet-
ing on Monday evening at the home of Roberta
Templeman. Complete reports for the year 1991
were given, with the executive remaining the same
for 1992.
Carrah Templeman and her parents Bev and Rob
Templeman were dinner guests of the Mitchell Li-
ons Club on Tuesday evening.
Congratulations to Lorne and Helen Fell for the
awards received this year at the Royal Winter Fair.
MI!kMuskateerS hold meetln
By Kerri Hartman
DASHWOOD - The Milk Musk-
ateers held their fifth meeting at
Karen Kinsman's. Their roll call
was: What's your ice cream I.Q.?
The group played a fun game.
Everyone got two cards folded and
had to ask one of the people beside
them the question on the card. Most
people thought the questions were
really hard.
Michelle and Donna made their
ice cream. It was delicious! I like it
better than the ice cream that you
buy. The club then read about how
to make ice cream in our books.
They discovered ice cream was
made mostly with air. Everyone
was astonished! Did you know
that?
Meeting 5 and 6 are short so they
combined the two meetings. Our
second roll call was: What's one
new thing you discovered about

thought it was that ice cream was
