I have a note for the folks in
and around,Benmiller:
The United Church Women
are having a special "get
acquainted" or "renew old
friendships", nigh‘, on
* Wednesdn October 1, at the .
church.
There are many new folks in
the area and they want them •to
know they want to get to know
them. These- ladies also think it
is time a lot of the "old faces"
turned out.
They have a wonderful
evening, planned with Chinese
costumes — food — opps.— there
I've let the cat, out of the bag!.
SOME SECRET! ,Anyway there
will be a big time and fun for
everyone in this, new community
project. These ladies are real
workers so don't disappoint
them.
I understand theCarlow
Ladies, too, are working real
hard on THEIR community
project. The old "Carlow Hall"
. •
is shaping up very well. There
will be a lot more room for
crafts etc. come Christmas Pair
.Days (Oet.' 29, Wednesday and
the Saturday, Novemeber
I have a feeling they.are going
to need all the room they can
• • get as this annual fair has
really made a name for itself and
folks are coming from many far
away places to see and buy —
alsoto show and sell.
As the "INSTIGATOR" (as I
'like to .call her) Mrs. Wilmer,
• Hardy, says, "It has been like
tossing a pebble into the water
and watching the rings spread
and grow bigger and bigger 'till
who knows where it will end!"
It is wonderful to -see something
like this happen — there you are
— an up to date HAPPENING —
• doing their own THING!
More and more people
appreciate the "hand , made"
item — or any little thing that
you have CREATED. If they
can't do these things themselves
then they will buy it from you
*, and treasure it for the thought
and sweat and tears that have
gone into it, and you should just
see how proud they are when
they show off your creation.
This is another reason why
the Carlow ladies "Fair" has
• been growing. There are more,
people realizing that their little
hobby is really a fine craft and
should be exhibited. or
demonstrated. they Wait" at'
little 'more often ' '
harder and -get the chance to
• show at the Fair. OH \ BOY !
there are more buttons popping
off at that time! Keep it up —
• it's GREAT! •
I haven't heard what is going
to happen to the old Victor
Lauriston School at Waterloo
and Britannia Roads.
Actually 1 hate to see
anything happen to it but we
can't get any re -assurance that it
won't.
,t
The K: ofT. have taken the
old Catholic school over now
.that this their new scboo1 is in
operation. This too, is It nice,
bright school and would be great
for , groups" who wish to have a
nice meeting room or .a fine
work room or play room — at a,
very reasonable rate, (about the
maintenance cost divided up.)
This sounds pretty good and I
have seen thro' the building and
was pleasantly surprised with the
room and storage etc.
So any of you social or service
groups who may need a nice new
home this is your chance for
one.
This year many ladies were
treated to lessons in flower
arranging — and other little side
lines that fall along this line of
'Horticulture — by that exciting
young lady Jean McKee (Mrs.
Don). When I say, exciting — I
don't mean she jumps up and
down arid waves her arms — no
indeed — she is the calmest —
most matter of fact person I
think I have ever met, — but to
me one of the most exciting and
stimulating people. (She'll KILL
me!)
Have you seen her flowers and
tiny greenhouse and lovely spot
above Benmiller — up that steep
hill with the bridge and feed mill
at your back? If you haven't
been there or 'stopped for just a
minute to "stand and stare"
Urn you have missed 'a real
tat.
Jean really knows her flowers
and it SHOWS. Besides having a
"green thumb" she also swings a
wicked hammer and craft tools
such as drills and saws are
playthings for her.
She helped build - her nice
house and has done a lot of the
improvements like extra shelves
and cupboards and other storage
conveniences, which she wanted
"— all by herself — and I have also
caught her doing such things for
lucky friends. (Watch that
Carpenters' Union man, Jean).
So, I hear that her flower
arranging lessons will continue
into the late fall and the flowers
which were 'cut at their very best
and hung away to dry or be
preserved in some other way,
will be brought out for beautiful
nOtititer" 1•4a=rrangeinents",

I don't know if you can get ih
on this class or not, but, you can
keep it in mind for later when
you can start at, the beginning,—
learning which end of a plant
. goes into the earth — right up to
the' finished product, that

viewers better understand the
succeeding programs, which
show how man is polluting his
cities, the air, the earth and the
rivers, lakes and oceans.
Particularly important is the
discussion of pesticides and their
threat to the balance of nature.
Many scientists are saying that,
if we carry on this form .of
pollution at the present rate, we
shall destroy ourselves within 20
years..
The programs succeeding the
introductory show are: The
Urban Crisis (Oct. 1); Water
(Oct. 8), showing how severar
great Canadian rivers have been
"killed" by industrial pollution;
Air (Oct. 15); Pesticides (Oct.
22); and a final program Oct. 29
in which such experts as ex -U.S.
Secretary of the Interior ,Stuart
Udall, ecologist Lamont Cole
and Roland Clement 'of the
National Audubon Society give
an overall pollution picture.

too late — well, why don't 'you

and then when the class comes

OK? OK!
Another interesting hobby
which has been taught to many
lucky people this summer was
Pottery at Ann Fairservices' nice
old school house near Blyth,
You just wouldn't believe the
wonderful things you can make
— and the creations by the
children are most amazing.
I have had the privelege of
watching some of the children's
art develop at this school — and
I was — — flabbergasted! How
about that for a descriptive
word?
The smaller they are the faster
and smarter they are! 'These
little tots think nothing of trying
all the different methods of
"pot" making — and if their feet
can reach the kick wheel, they
even round in beautiful things
on the "PotteM wheel!"
Of course you need a teacher
who can inspire you to try
something new — something you
were sure you couldn't do —
until you saw the finished
product, in a lovely glaze, taken
out of the furnace.
So, there you are for this
winter or next summer, Go
Potty!
For any of you really
interested in creating something
for the Santa Parade, speak to
Mrs. Blue = at her Supermarket.
You'll be glad you did! Do it
NOW!
Love, Martha.

Turning to man-made
disasters, the program visits
London where Anthony
Chandler of University College,
London, an authority on urban
climate, discusses that city's fog
problem. He recalls December
1952, when a disastrous smog
(an accumulation of smoke and
fog droplets that became
trapped' in a low atmosphere by
a slab of warm air, Jcnown as an
inversion) straddled the city.
Some four thousand people died
as a long-term consequence of
the six-day disaster.
To learn more about weather,
host Saltzman takes viewers to
the Central Analysis Office, in
Montreal, where all weather
observations of Canada and of
the continent come in by
teletype at a rate of a hundred
or so words a minute. This data
is . also relayed to the World
Weather Watch Centre in
Washington where it is fed into
computers which ' process the
information into actual and
"forecast weather maps of the
surface and upper atmosphere.
AL the Washington centPe,
viewers will see the computers in
operation as well as such
installations ' as t.he
communications, satellite -and
control rooms. Back in
Montreal, Saltzman shows the
making up of a weather map for
distribution to local forecast
offices such as Winnipeg and
Regina.
The plan for the World
Weather Watch originated with a -
specialized agency of the U.N.,
the World Meteorological
Organization, with headquarters
in , Geneva. There viewers will
learn about WMO and its
technical assistance activities
from its secretary general, David
A. Davies; hydrologist, M. S.
Ibrahim; and project manager,
K. V. Krishnamurthy.
Also appearing on the
program are Jehuda Neumann,
artificial rainfall expert; Dr.
Mordecai Gilead, head .of the
Israel Meteorological Service,
. who talks about microclimate
repair, work being done on a
national scale in his country; and
two Ontario farmers who discuss
their relationship to weather and
how it determines the cost of
food on the table.
