rector through example,
demonstrated with Catherine
Harding and Scott Hodgins,
' by putting a make believe
cast on the arm of each child,
then giving them a mint can-
dy and telling them to try and
put them in their mouth, us-
ing only. the hand with the.
cast on the arm. When this
seemed impossible to the
children the Rev. Derrick
showed them how -they could
do it by helping each other.
The sermon was a followup
from the previous Sunday,
with the theme "Works of the
flesh and fruits of the Spirit."
the rector entitled his
message "Isolation versus
Community." When we can-
not face people around us,
they may have needs and we
don't want to find out or get
involved, •this is isolation.
Telecommunication is one
way to isolate ourselves. I
dread to think of what it will
'be like 20 years down the road
said the speaker.
On the other hand the com-
munity with its gentle love
and joy, which is infectious,
makes one want to reach out
and share that joy with
others. We share a common
cooperate life together.

Quilting is popular
O
Tradition, skills continued
Quilts were originally made
for a very. practical purpose
- to keep our pioneer
ancestors warm and cosy in
their trundle beds while the
wintry wind howled outside.
The hardworking women who
painstakingly stitched and
pieced the coverings together
let their creative energy flow,
and soon worked out designs
that made the quilts as
beautiful as they were useful.
The tradition has con-
tinued, with patterns handed
down from one generation to
the next.
Some fine examples were
on display at the third annual
quilt show and sale at the
Lambton Heritage Museum
five miles south of Grand
Bend on Highway 21. The ex-
hibit opened July 1, and clos-
ed July 10.
The readers write
Dear Editor:
Re: Ecole Ste. Marie future
'in air' July 6, 1983.
There were several inac-
curate statements made in
this article. 50 students
presently attend this school,
not the approximately 40
stated.
Mr. Ernest Vanderschot's
statement "the cost of runn-
ing the school is about
$3,200.00 per pupil, much
higher than the system
average of $2,200.00 per
pupil," disagrees with the
figures supplied to the Com-
munity Accommodation
Review Committee by the
board.
These figures are: Ecole
Ste. Marie per pupil cost
$2,865.80, average per pupil
cost $2,196.95. There is a dif-
ference between $3,200.00 and
$2,865.80 of $331.15 per pupil.
This appears small, but when
multiplied by the 50 students
attending, it amounts to an
exaggeration of $16,557.50.
Mr. Eckert has full
knowledge of these figures
and as the Director of Educa-
tion, I feel, it was his duty to
correct this misconception.
Mr. Vanderschot could,
perhaps, benefit from an
education at Ecole Ste. Marie.
Here we learn to do our
homework before we attend
meetings. This would in-
' crease our enrolment to 51
students.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Elaine Ducharme
