The plaque was presented in memory of Gertie (Hoffman) McCrae who was one of the origi- nal members of the club. She died in 1994. Her daughter Bonnie Hunter was in attendance, Sunday. The Stitch and Chatter club started in 1928 as a Sunday School class at Dashwood's Evangelical Church. Letta Taylor was the teacher and founder of the club. The purpose of the club was to welcome newcomers to Dashwood and the church as well as being a social group for women. The club did a great deal of work for the Red Cross and got its name from it. During World War II from 1939 to 1945, the Stitch and Chatter club sent many parcels overseas to Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Obesity is becoming a real problem in most in- dustrialized nations. In Canada, it's estimated that 35% of men and 27% of women aged 18- 74 are overweight enough to be called "obese". This problem causes many increased health risks. Here are a few of them: High blood pressure and increased cardiovascular risks, build-up of blood sugar, diabetes, gallbladder disease, arthritis and other joint problems, breathing obstruction (sleep apnea), cancer of the breast and uterus, psychological problems like depression, plus the usual social and quality of life problems stemming from being too big and heavy. The answer is to reduce but don't be discouraged. Even a mod- est 10% drop in weight can result In health benefits. Check with your doctor. It's always nice to have an easy way to keep weight down. There is a new drug being researched that is supposted to block fat ab- sorption in the gastriontestinal tract. The drug is called Orlistat but unfortunately Is still In the research stages.

A room at the War Memorial Hospital in London, now known as Children's Hospital of Western Ontario was furnished by the club. When the Dashwood Community Centre was built in 1963, the club helped furnish the kitchen and in later years gave donations each Christmas to a charity in Huron county. Every Thursday night from Sep- tember to June, except for Christ- mas and Holy Week, club members took turns hosting an evening of bridge and fellowship. Even though the club stopped getting to- gether on a weekly basis in 1988, it stayed a close knit group among its members. As one of the members said Sun- day morning, "Today we are hon- ouring Gertie McCrae one of the original members of the Sunday School class of 1928. It is remarka- ble that 67 years later we are in the same church where the Stitch and Chatter club originated."
