sister branches from the area
At the regular meeting of
the Clinton Women's
Institute, which was held in
the board room of the
Agriculture Office on
Thursday afternoon
November 24 president Mrs.
W. 'Colclough occupied the
chair. She welcomed all
present, including over a
dozen guests from the Lon-
desboro and Auburn WI
branches.
Mrs. Colclough opened the
meeting by reading a poem
entitled "Take Time". The
secretary -treasurer Mrs.
Leona Lockhart called the
roll of members, which was
responded to by naming a
"Canadian beauty spot",
Many famous places were
named; then beauty spots in
our area were named, such as
Goderich, Bayfield, Colborne
Twp., Little Lakes, and
coming closer to home - the
flowerbeds in our own town of
Clinton.
Final arrangements were
made to have the annual
Christmas dinner for
members and their friends at
the Sandpiper Inn, Vanastra
on Friday December 16 at
12:30 p.m. with meeting
following in the Inn. Anyone
wishing to attend please,
contact the secretary for
tickets.
Mrs. M. Batkin, program
convener for the meeting,
gave a short paper on "public
relations", the theme for the
day. She stressed the need for
better public relations with
the native peoples in
Canada's North, the English
and the French element
across the Dominion, and the
ethnic groups in our Society.
She said, "working together,
and understanding together
will make Canada a better
place in which to live". In
ending, the question was
asked, "what better group
could there be to help spread
better public relations, around
the world than the Women's
Institute organization?' .
Mrs. Batkin then in-
troduced the guest speaker,
Mrs. Marion Powell, who
gave an interesting account
of a trip which she and her
husband had taken to the
West Coast of Canada from
May 17 to June 6. Working
through certain -channels of
the United Church of Canada,
they were able to visualize a

"Flanders Field". Roll call

Thank you's were read

Earl Blake. Donna Gibbings
reported she had done a

seconded to -send $25 ta. the
Children's Aid Society. -
It was decided to again
have surprise parties with
9,
Margaret Ball and Margaret
Wright in charge and that the
fee will be $2 per couple.
Plans were finalized for the
pot luck supper on November
18 in Summerhill Hall.
The next meeting will be

December 14 with roll call to
be a gift exchange with a
value. of $2. •Lunch and
programme will be in charge

Margaret Ball and Lorna

Verna Gibbings. .
For program Sandra
Westerhout, Hazel Watkins
and Edith Wright conducted
contests which were enjoyed
by all.. The Queen and grace
were sung and lunch served.
Vehicle registration prices increase
The first increase in motor
vehicle registration fees sinc'e
1972 goes into effect, today,
Transportation and, Com-
munications Minister James
Snow announced recently.
The fee schedule was an-
nounced in last April's
Ontario Budget. The new fees
increase the cost of
registration for a four-
* cylinder car from $23 to $30; a
six -cylinder car from $32 to
$45; an eight -cylinder car
from $40 to $60. Motorcycle
registration fees are up $5
from $15 to $20.
In addition, any automobile
with an engine displacement
of more than 6.5 litres (397
cubic inches) which is
registered for the first time,
will cost the owner $80.
Under the new schedule,
1978 registration fees for all
privately -owned passenger
cars and motorcycles in the
northern half of the province
have been reduced to $10.
The Minister added that an
amendment to the com-
mercial motor vehicle fee
schedule is also being
prepared to allow northern
Ontario residents to purchase
their 1978 annual registration
for vans and pickup trucks of
5,000 pounds or less for the
same fee as passenger cars --
$10, providing the applicants
sign a personal declaration
that such vehicles are used
primarily for ..recreational
purposes and. private tran-
sportation.
Under the amendment,
passenger car registration
fees can also apply to all
commercial motor vehicles
anywhere in Ontario with a
vehicle weight of 5,000 pounds
or less. Again a personal
declaration must accompany
the application.
"Switching their
registration could also mean
a saving for owners of light-
weight commercial vehicles
in - southern Ontario,
depending on the number of
cylinders." said Snow.
The 1978 registration fee for
mopeds and trailers remains
unchanged at 15, as does the
110 fee for snowmobiles and
historic vehicles. The fee is
the same in northern and
sduthern Ontario.
Licence renewal stickers go
on sale at 311 licence issuing
offices across the province
today and the deadline for
having your new licence
renewal sticker is February
28, 1978.
To complete the renewal
procedure, motorists are
required to present their
Motor Vehicle Permit, proof
of insurance and the ' ap-
propriate fee to purchase the
blue 1978 stickers.
trip they had long been
dreaming of.
'l'hey flew to Balla Coola on
the West Coast of the
province of British Columbia,
where they boarded the
Mission boat "The Thos.
Crosby", operated by the
United Church of Canada.
Such p mission was started in
1874, by the late Thomas
Crosby, a missionary from
Woodstock, Ontario.
Mrs. Powell illustrated her
talk by showing slides of this
scenic part of Canadap and of
the people who now keep up
this mission of good work.
There are two ministers on
board, Rev. Capt. Howard,
and Rev. and Mrs. Farris also
a registered nurse, along with
a crew of seven people. This
needy boat begins its journey
at Prince Rupert, B.C., en-
ding at Bull Harbor on the
northern tip of Vancouver
Island. It calls at 55 ports en
route, caring for the needs of
the people in these isolated
ports, telecommunications
centers, and lighthouse
keepers.
It showed how one segment
of the many churches doing
'similar mission work in
various ways, are helping to
create better public relations
between the church and
needy peoples of the world.
Mrs. Lois Elliott thanked
Mrs. Powell on behalf of those
present for her splendid
illustrated talk.
"How alert are you"
contest was won, by Mrs.
Margaret Taylor of the
Londesboro branch, as was
the lucky draw on a pot of
flowers. Second draw- on
plants was won by Mrs.
Margaret Murray of
Huronview.
A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to the Clinton branch
by Mrs. E. Bradnock of
Auburn, and Mrs. B. Shob-
brook of Londesboro. Mrs.
Les Lawson and her com-
mittee served a tasty lunch.

All queens were not as
gracious and ladylike as our
present monarch, Queen
Elizabeth II. This was clearly
shown when Ann Adams
presented the biographies of
15 different queens- of the
world, past and present. The
Byzantine queen, Irene, for
example, seized the throne
from her son and hada` him
blinded. Despite this, the
Greek church made her a
"saint for her building of
monasteries.
Another ruthless queen was
Catherine the Great of
Russia. When she learned her
husband was going to divorce
her she seized power and had
him killed. Her court became
the most brilliant and im-
mo'r-aI of the late 1700's.
Some of the other queens
discussed included Anne of
Austria and Elizabeth I who
did much to make their
countries great. Others were
Cleopatra of Egypt, Bloody
Mary of England, Mary,
Queen of Scots and Spain's
Isabella, who sent Columbus
on his voyages.
Anne presented a souvenir
Queen Elizabeth Jubilee
spoon to Audrey Kemp,
winner of a quiz.
The evening ended with a
delicious lunch provided by
hostess Marj Dobson.
